The Goddess Shines on America

Seeing the little fat man with round eyes in front of the door, who was only 30 meters away from the parking lot, Alice greeted her unceremoniously, and the volume could actually penetrate the supercar motor roar.

Harry Punes watched the Lamborghini slowly enter the parking lot, looking quite excited and feeling a little nervous at the same time. He kept wiping the sweat from his forehead with his hands, even though today's temperature didn't warm up much.

The sound of the door opening, and then two long-legged girls stepped out of the sports car together, both wearing cool black toad glasses, both with flowing and smooth long hair, and both looking at the honestly waiting girl with evil expressions. fat man.

"Harry," Alice walked forward quickly and said, "I've been supervising the progress of the project on site for the past few days, it's really hard for you."

"Wherever it is, it should be." Harry said modestly: "After all, I am already your employee now, and supervising the construction progress of the 'company headquarters' is just one of the tasks."

"Hi, buddy." As the driver in charge, Ashley didn't come forward in a hurry, but when she really came forward, the question she asked was definitely not just a greeting: "Be honest, Ellie Is it because of some ulterior behind-the-scenes transaction that Si entrusted you with this supervisory work?"

As she said that, she nodded slightly, took off her sunglasses to the bridge of her nose, and smiled evilly on her delicate oval face, and said slyly, "For example..."

"Let's go in first." Alice said in a high voice, and stopped Ashley's mouth: "Harry, you are responsible for leading the way."

"Okay, Miss Alice." Harry Poness glanced at Ashley cautiously. The girl who was following them... was obviously not easy to mess with.

The three of them walked towards this huge building together with their very different moods.

Trinary Computer R\u0026D Center.

The land purchase was completed as early as the beginning of December last year. The land on the outskirts of a city with a population of 100,000 in the southeastern part of England is not that expensive no matter how large it is, even if it includes road paving. Although some high-tech equipment does cost a lot of money, the construction cost of a simple building is of course very cheap, and it can be started early and harvested in time.

Therefore, just because there is no shortage of time, and under the premise of no shortage of funds, Alice, who has used enough workers, has actually built a huge building.

The area is equal to a bird's nest.

This is the most intuitive feeling, and when it also has a height of five floors, it can almost be called a landmark building in the entire city of Exeter. In particular, the shape of the wall completely made of tempered glass gives people the feeling of a next-generation sci-fi building. Even if it is placed in Seattle, it will definitely become one of the most popular photo spots.

As for the shape of this laboratory building, which has an area equal to that of the Bird's Nest Stadium...

"Hey, buddy," Ashley said suddenly just before she stepped into the glass door, "Why is your building built like a bird's nest?"

Alice turned around suddenly, and said pleasantly, "Oh, amazing, it's the first time you've seen this building today, how can you actually feel this way?"

Alice was really pleasantly surprised. You know, when they saw the laboratory far away on the horizon, she couldn't help but excitedly asked Ashley for her opinion. Unfortunately, for various conceivable reasons, Ashley has never been able to give an evaluation. Fortunately, fortunately, she finally expressed her opinion, and it was really what Alice wanted most!

Ashley raised her head. Of course, standing at the foot of the tall building would not be able to see the whole of it clearly, but the whole thing can be seen at a glance. The glass as smooth as a mirror shows that it is enough to show the appearance of the entire building. The craftsmanship is very simple, but the window frames are made of steel skeletons. The height of the building is only five floors. Apart from the large scale, there is no difficulty in construction itself, but the shape designed by Alice is really amazing. .

"That's what it feels like," Ashley said, "Look at your steel window frames that are used as skeletons, don't they have the irregular rhythm of the branches of the bird's nest? Mess and harmony are integrated, obviously The shape of each window is different, but the lighting level of the five-storey building seems to be similar..."

"Let's leave the specific evaluation to people in the industry. I'll talk about it when my laboratory becomes famous." Alice didn't intend to waste time at the door, leaving a word, and she strode into the world inside the glass front door.

The empty front hall directly penetrates the ceiling to the top floor, where there is a patio, and the sunlight shines directly on the white marble floor from above. Looking up and looking around, every circle of corridors on the fourth floor of the courtyard is equipped with exquisite guardrails, all of which are vacuum-plated aluminized steel. The front desk is still empty, but anyone can imagine that when the laboratory is officially in operation, there will definitely be a decent front desk staff here for a long time.

"Miss Alice, the supercomputer you ordered has arrived now." Compared with a simple visit, this is the highlight, Harry said excitedly: "You are really amazing, the University of Florida has not even used it yet." The fresh baby on the Internet was snatched by our laboratory for use. The floating-point calculation speed of 10.3G is almost three times faster than the Cray-2/8 in 1985!"

"It's 2.6 times to be precise. How can the computing power gap of this scale be rounded up? Have you forgotten common sense?" Alice rolled her eyes: "And the price has also doubled. Take us to the basement."

The newly released supercomputer ETA10-G/8 of the University of Florida in the United States has only three years of development, and it has surpassed the one at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California with its 10 billion floating-point calculation rate. almost three times. You know, the latter just lent Alice about 70% of the computing power, allowing her to perfectly shoot "Alien 2" with special effects in the 1990s, but now, a more advanced supercomputer, just like this Bought and sent to this laboratory!

Of course, the price is also more expensive. Thirty to twenty million is just a down payment.

Obviously, the placement of supercomputers is the main reason why the laboratory has to be built so large.

The elevator descends to the basement level and opens, and strict security measures are required to enter the machine room. Ashley was a driver who was watching the fun, so she stood aside obediently at this time, only to see Harry Punes standing in front of the tightly closed metal door, and first entered a 16-digit password in one breath , and then carefully pressed the left thumb on the detector.

There was only a click, and the door opened.

"It's so complicated," Ashley couldn't help it immediately: "Are you afraid of spies sneaking in?"

"Computer lab," Alice chuckled as Harry opened the door. "Of course they're interested, especially the KGB."

The existence of Soviet agents is still too far away for ordinary people, but Alice knows that when this laboratory produces all kinds of new things one after another, commercial spies will definitely swarm in. As for breaking in like James Bond or Yinson Hunter... Although life is often more exciting than reality, Alice still feels that it is better to eat a meal.

Therefore, such a security door is more than enough for now.

The spacious computer room in the basement has been filled with dark cuboid boxes. Supercomputers are always bulky, and their computing performance is always top-notch in the world. Under Harry's guidance, the two girls saw the central control computer. To put it bluntly, it was just a monitor. The cable was plugged in from a corner of a large chassis. Of course, the behemoth in front of them was actually working.

"Very good," Alice was not interested in trying to use it. No matter how great it is, it must be no match for the i7 eight-core CPU. She just said to Harry: "Call your friends as soon as possible. Work is always available. It can be expanded. I live in the UK now, and you have seen the Lamborghini. The round trip takes less than three hours, and we will see each other often."

Harry looked at the endless main chassis in front of him with emotion, even though they were not activated at this time, he seemed to be able to hear their buzzing sound: "Bowman and the others will definitely be scared to death, who would have thought that 'Ni O'is that you?"

Of course, Portman was one of the little friends recruited by Alice, and Harry's identity, she wanted to find out, it couldn't be easier. If you want to talk about why you chose this little fat man instead of Kevin Mitnick who had confronted her earlier, of course it is because the two have met in reality many times before.

Well, I have met by chance in reality, why is this so so so second?

"Oh~ I don't understand things like computer technology." Being ignored, actually being ignored, how could it be ignored? Looking for something to say: "But seriously, Alice, sister, is it really necessary to study something like the trinary system?"

This remark is simply to find fault with all scientific researchers. Harry was the first to be unhappy, and said in a high voice: "It's not necessary? How can it be unnecessary? The development of human beings is based on..."

"Stop, stop~" The man of science and technology absolutely wanted to stop, Alice pressed his shoulder and said, "I suddenly had an idea, so Harry, do you have a girlfriend in America?"

It was a pure proposal, but Harry's body tensed up suddenly, and the typical lovesickness showed on his face. Alice burst out laughing, just in time to start her next sentence: "If you agree, let her move here too. I will solve the accommodation problem. It is a scientific research project that promotes human development. I am the boss." Yes, how can we break up the mandarin ducks?"
