The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 211 Why don't you be the team leader?

"Not really." Team leader Li said with a smile, "Your ability is good enough, Liu Hua. You just need to study more. You don't have to be brave for a moment. Three days is too short. Why don't you study for a few more days?"

"You take the test first." Liu Hua said with a smile: "I also want to know what level I have reached. I have to say that aircraft avionics are indeed very profound and much more complicated than ordinary semiconductors."

Seeing that Liu Hua was very determined, Team Leader Li began to ask questions, starting with the most basic ones. Liu Hua answered them fluently.

Seeing that Liu Hua was not stumped, Team Leader Li began to ask more in-depth questions. Liu Hua still blurted out the answers, which scared the onlookers.

They have been engaged in avionics design for nearly ten years and can be said to be experts, but they have to at least think about it when answering these questions.

Liu Hua answered these questions as if someone was asking him what number came after one or two. He answered them without even thinking and just said them subconsciously. Most importantly, what he said was all correct.

When asked this, Team Leader Li already had an idea in his mind. At the very least, Liu Hua was capable of doing the avionics job.

He did not stop, but continued to ask. He wanted to see how much burden Liu Hua could bear, because what they needed now was not an ordinary avionics designer, but a master who could take on the heavy responsibility and undertake the tough task.

So Team Leader Li simply brought up some of the more common difficulties encountered in his current work. Liu Hua indeed paused for a moment, but after a little thought, he still gave a solution, which was at least a direction for a solution.

Someone in the crowd immediately cheered, because the problem Liu Hua solved was the same problem he had encountered. After just a little thought about it, he felt there was great hope, so he couldn't help but start cheering.

"If you have a solution, go and solve it. What's the point of you cheering here?" Team Leader Li frowned and said, "Let's continue."

Liu Hua nodded in agreement, so Team Leader Li continued to ask four or five questions in a row. After thinking about it, Liu Hua was able to give directions and answers, and they were all recognized by the relevant people.

Team leader Li was quite satisfied. This kind of person was exactly what their team needed. The leader had the ability to judge people and knew who was suitable for the job.

Team leader Li asked the last question, which was about the future development direction of the entire avionics system. This was exactly what Liu Hua wanted. Liu Hua knew all the avionics knowledge from two thousand years ago, so he naturally knew the direction of avionics development very clearly.

Liu Hua spent more than 30 minutes explaining his views and summarizing the future development trend of avionics. Finally, he added: "This is just my personal opinion. The specific development depends on the joint efforts of everyone."

Team leader Li nodded and said, "That's very good and detailed. I think what you said makes a lot of sense, and it's not just one person's opinion."

The crowd began to applaud. Team leader Li thought for a moment and then said, "Why don't you be the team leader? You are more suitable for this position than me."

Liu Hua quickly shook his head and refused: "This is not appropriate. I have no management skills, and I don't understand the actual working situation of our team. How can I be the team leader? Now should be a critical period. This will easily mess up the work."

Many people were relieved. It was not that they did not like Liu Hua to be the team leader, but they had worked with Team Leader Li for so many years and it was smooth sailing. If they rashly changed to someone else, they were afraid that the cooperation would not go smoothly. That night, the whole team pooled money to set up a welcoming banquet for Liu Hua in the cafeteria. Shanghai was worthy of being called Shanghai. The big prawns and yellow croakers made Liu Hua drool. He had never eaten these delicious foods in all his years in Beijing.

Because he had never seen it often in the market, he didn't dare to exchange it for fear that he couldn't explain it clearly. Today, he finally had a feast.

Drinking in the south is different from drinking in the north. It is not so wild. The best Shaoxing yellow tea has a mellow aroma after being warmed up.

Everyone got drunk together that night, and the next day, Team Leader Li gave Liu Hua a detailed explanation of the work progress of their entire team.

Liu Hua spent more than ten days learning about their work over the past seven years before Team Leader Li assigned him a task.

After thinking for a day, Liu Hua said goodbye to Team Leader Li: "I have to go back to Beijing first. This work will take about three months. I can give you a preliminary design. I will come back and report to you when the time comes."

Liu Hua flew back to Beijing again. This time he drank a glass of Moutai to celebrate himself.

After returning to Beijing, Liu Hua returned to school and found that Professor Li was already building a supercomputer based on VLSI chips.

"Liu Gong, where on earth have you been?" Professor Li complained, "I'm just starting this job and it's really hard to move forward without your help."

"Didn't I tell you before I left? I'm going to Shanghai on a business trip." Liu Hua said with a smile, "Besides, I have never built a supercomputer before. I have no experience at all. You can't count on me."

"I really don't understand why the boss sent you on a business trip to Shanghai?" Professor Li shook his head. "We are so busy and stressed out right now. How can we have time for you to take care of other work?"

"Leaders need to consider the overall situation." Liu Hua smiled. "In your mind, supercomputers are the most important work, but in the eyes of leaders, there are other urgent tasks. They can only mobilize limited resources, so they are stretched. Let's just endure the hardship. Besides, we haven't conducted research for ten years. This is a good opportunity to show our talents. We are not afraid of having too much work. What we are most afraid of is having no work to do."

"Yes, I have been holding it back for ten years." Professor Li said with emotion: "Otherwise I would not be so anxious. Our country is in urgent need of supercomputers. The original supercomputers can no longer keep up with the development of scientific research."

Professor Li pointed at Liu Hua and said, "You and I are the only engineers in the country with experience in installing supercomputers. If we can't install a new supercomputer as soon as possible, I will be the sinner."

Liu Hua smiled and said, "I can't bear your accusation. We do need a new supercomputer, but you have to consider our current situation."

"The reality is that our supercomputer project cannot meet the needs of national scientific research projects. That is our fault."

Liu Hua shook his head: "What we should develop most now is actually the national economy and people's livelihood. Meeting the people's basic needs is the top priority. Only when the people are well fed and clothed can we have funds to develop scientific research. You think we are in a difficult situation now, but in fact it will be even more difficult for us in the next ten to twenty years."
