Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 88 Yang Ning shows off his talent! (Subscribe)
After learning about the difficulties in developing the atomic bomb, the leader encouraged with a smile: "Difficulties are temporary. I believe that with our intelligence and wisdom, all difficulties will be paper tigers."

"I won't talk about the other things, but I believe that our comrade Yang Ning will not let us down when it comes to the calculation problems in the research process, right?"

Faced with such huge difficulties, the leader always has to give everyone a dose of cardiac stimulant. After inadvertently seeing Yang Ning pretending to be transparent in the corner, the leader's eyes lit up and he said with a smile.

Yang Ning, who was still in deep thought, suddenly heard the leader calling his name and was stunned for a moment.

Then he stood up with a red face and looked at the leader and President Guo embarrassedly.

After seeing the encouraging looks from the two, Yang Ning said firmly, "Yes, I promise I won't hold you back in terms of computing."

At this time, all the participants looked at Yang Ning. Those who didn’t know Yang Ning’s situation didn’t know why this handsome young man in his early twenties was so confident.

Then the leader looked at Yang Ning and solemnly introduced Yang Ning's situation. The fact that everyone present was able to participate in this project showed that they were all reliable comrades and had the qualifications and the need to understand Yang Ning's abilities: "Comrade Yang Ning has some special reasons, which makes his brain's computing speed and memory far exceed that of ordinary people. Even if the computing power of all computers in the world is added together, it is probably not as fast as Comrade Yang Ning's computing speed."

"And Comrade Yang Ning is proficient in mechanics, chemistry, physics and other knowledge. If you need his help during your research, you can boldly ask for it. I believe Yang Ning will not let you down."

Although the chief's words are a bit exaggerated, in these difficult times, at least we need to let everyone know that we are not without advantages.

After listening to the leader's introduction of Yang Ning, those who had not known Yang Ning before but had sent data to the Chinese Academy of Sciences suddenly realized it and nodded to Yang Ning in a friendly manner.

Those who knew nothing about Yang Ning's situation were also looking at him with burning eyes.

After all, most of the people who can sit here are well-informed and well-educated people who know too well the importance of computing speed to scientific research.

"Commander, could you please tell us about this young comrade's specific abilities so that we can arrange the next research plan."

At this time, a researcher in his thirties or almost forty stood up and said excitedly.

Yang Ning looked at this researcher who was middle-aged but definitely handsome, and thought he looked familiar.

During this period, science and engineering men were definitely the representatives of handsomeness, because before liberation, those who were able to study science and engineering and had the conditions to study abroad all had good family conditions, and it was rare to find ugly men.

Of course, Yang Ning himself is an exception. He is a handsome guy who was born and raised here. He can achieve what he has today because of the good environment.

"Haha~ Professor Wu, let Comrade Yang Ning answer this question himself."

Dean Guo looked at the researcher who asked the question and said with a smile.

When Yang Ning heard Dean Guo's address to that person, he suddenly understood who this person was. After all, before traveling through time, Yang Ning bought a copy of "The Backbone of a Great Nation" and read it carefully.

Of course, he bought the book just to have something to brag about with others, after all, it was an absolutely hot topic at the time.

When the men get together, they always talk about this.

This person is Mr. Wu, an absolute metallurgical expert in the book, who later overcame the difficulties in the separation membrane of our gas diffusion machine.

"My maximum computing speed is 50 billion operations per second, and my normal speed is 30 billion operations per second. I can process 1 pieces of data at the same time at a computing speed of million operations per second."

"As for memory, I don't know exactly, but I memorized all the information in our school library before."

As soon as Yang Ning finished speaking, there was a collective gasp in the meeting room.

No one at the scene doubted that Yang Ning's answer was a lie. After all, the fact that he could say it in such an occasion meant that it had been verified.

But this was the first time they had heard of such terrifying computing power and memory.

Seeing the way the researchers attending the meeting looked at Yang Ning, Dean Guo quickly said, "Comrade Yang Ning has to take care of other projects now, so he can only devote half of his energy to this project. So everyone should arrange their own time and don't send all of your work here at once."

"Also, although Comrade Yang Ning is very capable, he is not a machine after all. He cannot work around the clock without rest. I hope everyone will understand."

After hearing what President Guo said, the researchers attending the meeting nodded in understanding.

Even if it only has half the computing power, it is still 15 billion times per second at normal speed. If we deduct half of the time for it to rest, it is equivalent to a supercomputer that operates at 7.5 million times per second around the clock. What else do you need?

If President Guo knew what these people were planning, he would probably slam the table and curse.

If Yang Ning is only given half of the rest time, that means he has to work 12 hours a day, without a break all year round.

However, considering people's enthusiasm nowadays, these people are really considerate of Yang Ning by having such considerations.

After all, most scientific researchers nowadays work so hard that they forget to eat and sleep.

As for rest, I’ll do it when my body can’t take it anymore.

"7.5 million computing times is enough." After hearing Yang Ning's words, Mr. Wu nodded with satisfaction and sat down, thinking that with Yang Ning's assistance, the research task assigned to him would not be that difficult.

"What 7.5 million times? It seems like you are treating Comrade Yang Ning like a cow?" After hearing what Mr. Wu said, Dean Guo was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Mr. Wu and his friends were planning. It seemed that Yang Ning was only allowed to rest for half of the day, and there were no holidays.

Even if Yang Ning is really awesome, he can't stand you guys ordering him around like this.

The chief also understood at this time, and he said seriously: "As for Comrade Yang Ning's working hours, there have been strict regulations for a long time. He is not allowed to work more than ten hours a day, and he can rest on holidays as usual."

"This is also in consideration of Comrade Yang Ning's physical condition, to prevent exhaustion. So when you need Comrade Yang Ning's assistance in the future, try to make good plans."

After listening to the chief and President Guo's words, although everyone was a little disappointed, overall, it was roughly equivalent to a supercomputer running 300 million times per second around the clock.

This computing power is enough for their project.

"Taking the current situation into consideration, the higher-ups have decided to move the data processing center here this Sunday."

After the meeting, President Guo found Yang Ning and said.

"That's great. It will be much more convenient to go to and from get off work in the future." Yang Ning said happily after hearing the news.

Dean Guo then said earnestly: "If you move here, your data processing office will have to reduce some of its staff, and Comrade Hu Yinghong will be transferred to another position in the future."

After hearing the news from Director Guo, Yang Ning asked in confusion: "Didn't they say that she would be transferred after she gave birth?"

"Alas!" Dean Guo sighed, "We were originally planning to adjust Comrade Hu Yinghong's work after she gave birth. But now an emergency has occurred, and your data processing department will be involved in the atomic bomb project in the future."

"I will not say much about the importance of this project. Once you are involved, it is impossible to withdraw. Therefore, the higher-ups are planning to transfer Comrade Hu Yinghong out before the project even starts."
