Peng Hengwu still looked suspiciously, especially when Zhou Jimin took off the line and put it on the table, his heart was bleeding.
Can't you handle it with care?
What should I do if it breaks?
"Don't worry, this thing is resistant to manufacturing. I have worked hard to ensure its stability."
Computers in this era were all computers made of transistors.
There should be integrated circuits abroad, but they are still little kids and have just learned to walk.
The computer developed by Zhou Jimin is a large-area integrated circuit.
Therefore, resistance is not something you just talk about casually, and you are not afraid of ordinary bumps and bruises.
Immediately afterwards, a group of big guys watched with interest as Zhou Jimin assembled the computer.
Soon, a brand new computer appeared again.
But because there is no electricity, everyone can only stare.
Because of the anxious waiting, it was only then that everyone fully understood Zhou Jimin’s good intentions.
If there is no solar power plant in the 62 town, I am afraid that I will have to leave the desert and return to a place with electricity before testing.
And this undoubtedly adds more uncertainty.
It may even cause accidents such as the loss of the computer.
In silence, Jiang Shengbo suddenly spoke and suggested that everyone eat first and visit 62 Town later.
Wait until the sun rises, almost noon, and then conduct the computer test.
I have no choice but to do this.
So, the group of people went to the cafeteria and prepared to eat.
When we came to the canteen, everyone was very interested in the food here.
The staple food includes stick noodle porridge, steamed buns, sweet potatoes, etc., as well as Chinese cabbage, shredded potatoes, dried radish, salted fish and other vegetables, as well as green vegetables that Mr. Qian and the others have not seen for a long time.
"How many kilograms of vegetables can your town produce every day?"
Looking at the several plates of vegetables in the canteen, Mr. Deng and others raised curious questions.
Although they also know that there are hundreds of acres of vegetable fields in the town, they really have no idea of how many vegetables will be produced every day.
First of all, potatoes occupy one-third of the vegetable fields, followed by sweet potatoes and other crops.
Because potatoes can be used in cooking or as a staple food, they are the best choice in this canteen's shopping list.
"It ranges from one hundred to two hundred catties."
The answer was Jiang Shengbo, who knew more about this.
"So many?"
Mr. Deng and others exclaimed again, "Then you don't need to provide vegetables outside now?"
"Basically not necessary, but occasionally you still need to purchase some mushrooms, dried seafood and other foods to enrich everyone's nutrition."
Just this one item made Mr. Deng and others fall into deep thought.
They also remembered the previous experience of the failure of the rocket test at Lao Qian's station.
The reason for the failure has now been found out, and that is that one of the scientific researchers is actually a color blind patient.
And before this, no one found this error.
This mistake can be avoided entirely through other means.
However, due to such reasons, the test failed and the losses caused were very serious.
It was also a heavy blow to Qian Lao and many other researchers involved in the project.
Therefore, it seems that the model of 62 Town is not something Zhou Jimin did recklessly in order to enjoy life and improve his treatment in the desert.
Professor Cheng's eyes also flickered, but he did not admit his mistake to Zhou Jimin.
After all, he is more than thirty years older than the latter, so it is difficult for him to bow his head and admit his mistakes.
After the silence, everyone started chatting about other topics.
After breakfast, the group visited the vegetable greenhouse and walked into Zhou Jimin's vegetable garden.
It’s just two acres of land, but it shows infinite vitality.
Even in the mainland, it is difficult to see such a prosperous and green scene.
Now, everyone looked at Zhou Jimin with a little more respect and curiosity.
On the basis of ensuring scientific research work, he can also take care of the vegetable garden so well. He is really not an ordinary person.
After coming out of the vegetable garden, everyone went to see the glass factory, power plant and other places.
Wan Xiaohua saw Zhou Jimin in the crowd, and his face was full of envy.
The big brother of my neighbor is really awesome!
From the discussion of the workers nearby, Wan Xiaohua also clearly heard that these visitors were all big guys.
He is the boss of several other stations.
The person in charge of the solar power plant introduced nervously and excitedly that the daily power generation has exceeded 12 degrees Celsius.
Because in recent times, there have been a lot more solar panels.
Even so, this amount of electricity is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket for the upcoming peak electricity consumption.
"Comrade Zhou, according to your estimate, how many computers are enough in Town 62?"
Zhou Jimin was stunned when he saw Mr. Qian suddenly asking a question. Shouldn't he ask Lao Jiang?
After all, the planning of Town 62 is in the hands of Jiang Shengbo, and Zhou Jimin is just a team leader.
"Old Qian is asking you a question. Why are you so dazed?"
Jiang Shengbo glared at him with dissatisfaction, and then he came back to his senses and looked at the former. He found that the other party had no other emotions, and then looked at Qian Laodao:
"Computers are a great helper. With computers, many of our jobs can be replaced."
"For example, the computing team I manage now has eighteen people."
"Once the computers are put into use and software engineering is developed, I will definitely be able to easily complete the current workload with only three to five people."
What?
Everyone was instantly excited, but the person in charge of the power plant was confused. Wasn’t it about the amount of electricity generated? Does the computer you are talking about have anything to do with the power plant?
Regardless of Mr. Qian's excitement, Zhou Jimin continued:
"Based on computers, we can build a supercomputer and increase the computing speed to tens of millions of operations per second, or even hundreds of millions."
"At that time, the missile launchers in our town, Qian Lao's rocket launchers, etc., can greatly shorten the development time."
Now, Mr. Qian and the others can’t sit still.
They don't dare to think about a computing speed of hundreds of millions per second, nor do they expect it.
But the speed of tens of millions of calculations is still comparable.
As scientific researchers, they are very sensitive to these things.
Many experiments require quite complex calculations to ensure the accuracy of the experiment and shorten the development time.
At the same time, shortened time also means there are more possibilities.
They were excited, but Zhou Jimin stopped them, pointed to the person in charge of the power plant behind them and said:
"But leaders, please don't forget that a supercomputer also means double or even exponential power loss. With the current power generation capacity of power plants, it may not be able to support the start-up of a supercomputer."
What?
The person in charge of the power plant was dumbfounded. The power generated at 12 degrees Celsius per day was not enough to power up a supercomputer?
It's just a joke. The power generation of 12 degrees per day is already a very impressive achievement.
What else do you want?
"Then don't build supercomputers here in the desert and put them inland."
The environment in the mainland is much better than in the desert, so it is most suitable for supercomputers to be placed in the mainland.
Regarding Mr. Qian's suggestion, Zhou Jimin shook his head and said with a bitter smile:
"I don't agree. Placing the supercomputer in Town 62 is the best choice."
Reason!
Everyone is curious, why does Zhou Jimin hold an objection?
After all, everyone has heard that Zhou Jimin likes to take vacations.
If the supercomputer is built in the Mainland, then it is very likely that it will stay in the Mainland often, or it can frequently travel between the Mainland and the desert.
But he actually refused?
If Zhou Jimin knew what they were thinking, he would just smile helplessly.
Even if the supercomputer is built, he will not be able to intervene in subsequent research and development.
He doesn't want to do things that are full of too much uncertainty.
Besides, as long as you are not in the capital, is there any difference between other places in the mainland and the desert?
Is Lao Lin willing to let him escape?
Then, Zhou Jimin explained to Mr. Qian and the others why the supercomputer should be placed in Town 62.
First, solar power plants can be expanded quickly, as long as the people and materials are in place.
Solar power plants provide clean energy without damaging the environment.
It even improved the environment to a certain extent.
As long as a large enough area of solar panels is built, the environment of this desert can be effectively improved.
It is of great help in promoting economic development.
Second, 62 Town is located on the edge of the desert, far away from human settlements, ensuring safety.
Don't underestimate security. If supercomputers are built in mainland China, the cost will increase even more than expanding solar power plants.
Moreover, the dangers have also increased, and the risks have become more uncontrollable.
After all, how troublesome is it to send files that need to be calculated from the desert back to the mainland?
What if the telegram is intercepted?
It is even more undesirable to rely on manpower to carry it back to the mainland.
Third, supercomputers are built in mainland China, which increases the pressure on local power supply.
Today's power generation capacity in the mainland is still pitifully small.
Fortunately, the south has crisscrossed rivers and huge amounts of water, so many hydropower stations can be built to generate electricity.
But the situation in the north is miserable, and they can only rely on burning coal to generate electricity.
This thing has a huge impact on the environment.
Therefore, whether it is from the perspective of cost, safety, or environmental protection, it is much better to build the supercomputer in Town 62 than to build it inland.
After listening to Zhou Jimin's words, Mr. Qian and others were silent. Mr. Deng pondered for a moment and said that we should discuss this matter when we go back and visit the town first.
Let’s put the topic aside for now and let’s continue visiting.
However, everyone is a little bored, because they have something to hide in their hearts, and watching other things feels very boring.
After scribbling over the visit, everyone returned to the office, gathered together, and exchanged ideas in twos and threes.
On weekdays, we don’t have much time to get together.
Therefore, everyone takes advantage of this gap to actively communicate.
Zhou Jimin also gained a lot, because many of the big guys at the scene are masters in aerodynamics, physics, mathematics and other fields.
In addition, many of them have studied abroad, and their knowledge and understanding of many cutting-edge fields are far beyond what Zhou Jimin can match.
Thanks to cheating, Zhou Jimin's vision is indeed farther than that of many scientists, but his foundation is far behind those of these big guys.
Therefore, he could only listen obediently.
Fortunately, his memory is very good, and his understanding ability has also improved a lot. He can understand everything without saying anything, and at least he has accumulated a lot. Maybe he will be able to draw parallels in the future.
By mid-morning, the sun outside was already very bright.
The temperature of the sun in winter is not that high.
But this is a desert, and it’s not called warm sunshine, but scorching sun.
The person in charge of the power plant reported back that the solar energy collected in the middle of the morning was enough to provide three or four degrees of electricity.
After getting the news, Mr. Qian and others urged Zhou Jimin to seize the time to test the computer's computing speed.
At the same time, Jiang Shengbo also asked An Zesheng to inform everyone in the town that no one else is allowed to use electricity at this stage.
The electric switches are all turned off, so I can't use them even if I want to.
Currently, only the switch in the office is still open, waiting for the power to be delivered from the power plant.
As Zhou Jimin turned on the computer switch, the host started running and pictures began to appear on the display screen.
Everyone was just staring, and the people in the back row couldn't see. They all stood on tiptoes, just to get a look at the back of Zhou Jimin who was standing at the front.
"Boss Qian, you must have a lot of data that needs to be calculated, right? Let's go straight to a set of the largest and most complex calculations. I'll let you see the response speed of my computer. It will definitely surprise you."
"Okay, I will believe you this time."
Mr. Qian laughed, and then began to enter the data that needed to be calculated on the keyboard.
Behind him, Mr. Deng, Professor Cheng, Peng Hengwu and others were all staring back and forth at their watches and displays.
Not long after, everyone fell silent as a series of data appeared on the screen.
Then there were bursts of air-conditioning sounds.
The people behind immediately started talking in low voices, what happened?
"That's great. The calculation speed is 258,000 times. Jimin, you are amazing!"
Following Mr. Deng’s words, bursts of warm applause erupted from the scene.
This is an achievement that is very worthy of recognition.
No wonder Zhou Jimin said this is the world's leading computer technology.
Just relying on this computing power, it is enough to defeat all objections.
Mr. Qian, Professor Cheng and others also smiled happily.
However, they still need to continue to calculate and cannot just do the calculation once and be done with it.
And don’t waste electricity!
Seeing their busy figures, Zhou Jimin also smiled and stepped aside, allowing them to continue their work.
Computers are tools and play a supporting role.
Now is the time for it to work.
Anyway, he is not in a hurry. Three to four degrees of electricity should be able to support the computer running for a while.
While making calculations, they recorded data, conducted research on accuracy, timeliness and other aspects. After all, this is a new thing and it has not yet fully proven its power.
People can make mistakes, and so can machines.
As time went by, Mr. Qian and the others basically recognized the facts.
This computer is indeed an incredible invention.
It's no big deal to defeat foreign computers.
More importantly, it is easy to carry.
"Leaders, after all the calculations have been completed, I will upgrade the computer system next, so that you can also see how powerful software engineering is and what the true face of a computer is."
What?
Everyone suddenly lost their voice!
Everyone in the office widened their eyes in disbelief and looked at Zhou Jimin, who was making such nonsense, with expressions that read, "Are you kidding me?"
Just now, everyone has done the calculations. The calculation capability of the little guy in front of you is basically stable between 250,000 and 260,000 per second.
This data has made everyone very satisfied.
At least, in the global computer field, the country is now at the forefront.
Therefore, this is already an invention that everyone is very happy and delighted with.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Jimin actually said that computing power is not the most powerful thing about computers, but that software engineering is the true face of computers. What is going on?
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Zhou Jimin took a step back and said bravely.
Mr. Deng said in a deep voice:
"Is what you just said true? What software engineering is going on?"
"Boss Deng, you may have forgotten that I also recruited a group of software engineering students at Peking University. Lao Jiang should be impressed by this, right?"
Everyone's eyes turned to Jiang Shengbo. He nodded, saying that he still remembered this matter, and mockingly said that he had objected to it at the beginning.
In fact, not only Jiang Shengbo objected, but even Lao Lin and other leaders did not want to talk to Zhou Jimin.
If Zhou Jimin hadn't boasted and made the pie too fragrant and big, the leaders would never have agreed.
"They are the seeds I sowed in software engineering. Now let me show you how powerful software engineering is when it is combined with computers."
"Stop being so mysterious, Lao Cheng, give in and let him do it."
When Mr. Qian spoke, Professor Cheng stood up and handed the computer to Zhou Jimin.
The latter did his part and started working on the keyboard with both hands. After a while, he took out a hard drive from his pocket.
Connect to the computer through a data cable.
This hard drive contains a design system based on the Hongmeng Chinese programming language, um, a shortened version.
Because this thing is downloaded from the computer in the system space, if it is loaded directly onto the computer in front of you, it will not work.
Ninety-five percent of the program code must be deleted, and some other codes must be patched and added to meet the actual situation of the computer in front of us.
Soon, Hongmeng operating system will start to be updated.
Everyone behind them stared with wide eyes, wondering what was so magical about it.
After a while, the system ended and a picture appeared on the display screen.
The background pattern of Jiuzhaigou Valley with clear water and blue sky, my computer and several other desktop applications, and a mouse arrow.
"Very good, now the computer is running normally. This is what I want to show you."
Buzz!
Such high-definition patterns simply refresh everyone’s outlook.
How is this possible?
How?
"We can control this computer through the mouse arrows. For example, if I want to open this desktop application now, just double-click..."
Next it’s teaching time.
What kind of experience is it for a group of super bosses to listen to your lecture?
Cool!
Time flies, and before you know it, lunch time is here.
The basic application of a computer is very simple, but it is impossible to become a fat man in one bite.
Therefore, he did not delay the class and directly announced that get out of class was over. He wanted to fill his stomach first and then talk about other things.
Ran Ge, Qian Lao and others were not happy because they were full of curiosity about computers: How on earth is it done?
Even if you don’t need to know the principle clearly, you can still have a general understanding, and you have to learn how to use it to make it convenient for yourself. You can’t always trouble others in the future, right?
How can this be possible if they don't come to eat together?
When we come to 62 Town, we may not necessarily have enough meat, but we definitely have enough vegetables.
Besides, the visitors are guests, how could they let Qian Lao and the others go hungry?
Jiang Shengbo and others pulled Qian Lao, Deng Lao and the others, and asked Zhou Jimin to turn off the computer. They could not let them stay in the office any longer.
In the cafeteria, everyone is in high spirits.
Especially Mr. Deng, Professor Cheng and others, their previous gloomy moods were swept away, and there were a few smiles on their faces.
The duck egg incident has become a thing of the past. What we need to do now is to look forward and start again. We will definitely succeed.
The purpose of their coming to 62 Town is also very simple, brainstorming!
Scientific research is a serious and prudent matter and should not be taken carelessly.
The appearance of duck eggs is equivalent to a failure in the exam, so pick out the wrong questions and then solve these wrong questions one by one.
However, even top academics need to clear their heads and balance work and rest.
For academics, the best way to combine work and rest is to discuss study matters with other students.
The most suitable place for discussion is definitely 62 Town.
The masters of science do what they think of and start right away without delaying at all.
When we arrived at 62 Town, it was almost dawn, so there was a scene in the morning.
During the lunch chat, Mr. Deng and the others shared their duck egg story and mentioned many assumptions that might be wrong.
Zhou Jimin listened with only a partial understanding. He didn’t know much about this part of the knowledge.
I thought that when I have time, I should go back to the space to make up for it.
Suddenly, he heard the list of injured persons in the duck egg incident mentioned by Mr. Deng and others.
It is damage caused by nuclear radiation.
One of the names on the list caught Zhou Jimin’s attention.
"Leader Deng, you just said the name of a wounded person. Is it Ding Xiaochuan?"
"Well, my name is Ding Xiaochuan. He was the captain of the team that day. He took the lead. His face and hands were seriously injured. He is our country's hero."
Crunch!
Zhou Jimin suddenly stood up, looked seriously at Deng Laodao:
"May I ask where he is now?"
It has been a year and a half since he came to the desert, and he has never met Ding Xiaochuan.
But I didn’t expect to learn the bad news from someone else.
Although it is only an injury, you must understand that it is nuclear radiation damage!
It can be said to be a very serious injury.
No one understood why Zhou Jimin was suddenly so excited. Jiang Shengbo's face darkened:
"Team Leader Zhou, why are you talking to Mr. Deng? Apologize quickly!"
"Leader, Ding Xiaochuan is my brother-in-law. I have the right to know his life and death, and I also know a little about wound dressing techniques. Maybe I can help."
Lao Jiang suddenly became speechless.
If what Zhou Jimin said is true, then he does have the right to know.
After all, Zhou Jimin is also in the desert, so there is no need to keep the news of injured relatives a secret.
When Mr. Deng heard this, he also looked guilty.
Because of this incident, he bears an unshirkable responsibility.
If he had arranged to detonate the atomic bomb after repeated checks and confirmations, it is very likely that Ding Xiaochuan and the others would not have been injured.
Immediately, he told Zhou Jimin the current location of Ding Xiaochuan.
However, if Zhou Jimin wants to see Ding Xiaochuan, he has to wait first.
After confirmation, Zhou Jimin also fell silent.
It’s really hard to explain this matter to Ding Qiunan and the others, especially my father-in-law and his family.
If Ding Xiaochuan could be cured, that would be okay.
If this happens, it will be a heavy blow to my father-in-law’s family.
Although the state will be responsible, if I have a choice, I would definitely choose to be self-reliant.
In the following time, everyone will try not to discuss this matter.
So as not to make Zhou Jimin unhappy again.
After lunch, everyone returned to the office and continued to study the computer.
Zhou Jimin gathered his spirits and taught the big guys a lesson seriously.
At the same time, the people in the computer team were also asked to seize the time and continue to build the second computer.
Jiang Shengbo has already sent the news to the leaders in the capital, and I believe the leaders will give instructions on this soon.
From the original materials, you can still continue to make a second computer.
With previous successful experiences, I believe we won’t encounter too many difficulties this time.
In a blink of an eye, it was the next day. Mr. Deng and the others were preparing to leave Town 62, and Zhou Jimin wanted to follow him to see Ding Xiaochuan.
But they were stopped by Jiang Shengbo and the others. The reason was very simple. The production of the second computer was inseparable from him.
"Human life is at stake. Regarding computers, it's okay to be late for two days."
"Your brother-in-law has a resident doctor. They are the experts in treating nuclear radiation. Why are you getting involved? And you are now a major contributor to our 62 town. If you are accidentally infected, you will be ours."
A big loss."
Jiang Shengbo shook his head and said stubbornly:
"So we don't agree with you going to see Ding Xiaochuan. It's okay to go, but not now."
It has only been a few days since the duck egg incident.
Nuclear radiation is still at high risk. It is indeed not the time to go see Ding Xiaochuan now.
But how did they know that Zhou Jimin was cheating? He wanted to try to see if the cloud beads could reduce the damage of nuclear radiation or cure it.
For other people, he may not be able to help, but Ding Xiaochuan is his brother-in-law after all, so he cannot turn a blind eye.
"I know you all don't agree, but I have reasons why I have to go. I will protect myself. Leader, you must believe that I am a person who can create miracles."
Seeing that he was still unmoved, Jiang Shengbo had a headache. Mr. Deng and the others were also very speechless. Are both parties so stubborn?
Besides, although nuclear radiation is scary, when have people like them, who deal with nuclear radiation every day, ever been afraid?
"Lao Jiang, stop arguing and let him go. As long as you take precautions and strictly follow the work procedures, I promise to return your great hero to you intact."
After Mr. Deng's words, Jiang Shengbo hesitated to speak, but in the end he did not stop him anymore, but he was still worried.
An Zesheng sent Lin Wuwang to lead the team and set off with Zhou Jimin.
Li Yuzhu didn't know where he got the news, and he even waited at the door with worry on his face.
Nuclear radiation is not a trivial matter!
Zhou Jimin in the crowd said nothing and didn't even see her.
From the small town of 62 to the scientific research station on the other side, it is hundreds of kilometers away. The distance is not a straight line, but a detour.
The desert environment is very harsh, so it is impossible to cross the desert and can only be detoured.
The weather in winter is really scary.
The cold wind in Siberia is as sharp as a knife. When it blows, it hurts your body and face like a knife.
Even if you have the protection of a military coat, you will still be attacked to some extent.
The road was bumpy for nearly a day and a night before we finally reached our destination.
Compared with 62 Town, this station is further away from the countryside and is in no man's land.
Moreover, for fear of nuclear radiation contamination, the protection level of the station is very high.
This is also the reason why Ding Xiaochuan was not picked up and was still left at the station for treatment.
After entering the station, Zhou Jimin couldn't bear to travel long distances, so he asked to go to the hospital.
But I was persuaded by Mr. Deng and others. Firstly, it was quite late and everyone needed to rest. Secondly, protection measures had to be taken and people could not enter casually. Otherwise, it would be tragic if they were really contaminated by nuclear radiation. Being persuaded by everyone, Zhou Jimin had no choice but to obey and do as he was told.
This station is not big, and the protection is very good, but it is far less prosperous than Town 62.
After resting all morning, Zhou Jimin discovered that the food here was even worse than that in 62 Town.
Not to mention other things, there are really no green vegetables.
Shredded potatoes and Chinese cabbage are standard, and dried radish is also available, and there is not much meat.
Just make do with it.
"What? Can't eat?"
Seeing Zhou Jimin's frown, Mr. Deng asked with concern.
"The environment here is indeed not as good as that of 62 Town, and the food is a little worse, so we'll just make do with it."
Professor Cheng spoke, Zhou Jimin shook his head and said:
"It's not a matter of bad food, but I'm wondering when we can let everyone eat whatever they want, especially those of us scientific researchers who are working on the front line."
No need to say more about what follows, everyone understands.
In fact, it is not only a problem of color blindness, but also many problems caused by overwork, hunger, etc.
They are all obstacles to the development of scientific research projects.
"It will get better, we believe it!"
After looking at Professor Cheng, Zhou Jimin nodded.
Then the topic was brought to the supercomputer mentioned before. There should also be a supercomputer at the atomic bomb station.
Regarding his proposal, Mr. Deng and others rejected it.
Because this place cannot afford such a large power loss, and it is not suitable for building solar power plants.
Dangerous conditions such as nuclear radiation determine that this station cannot be like the 62 town.
"There should be several computers, and then other energy sources will be used to solve the electricity problem."
Zhou Jimin proposed and brought up the matter of networking.
Lead a line and bury it in the sand to connect the two places and establish network interconnection.
In this way, the station can also share the supercomputer in Town 62.
What is a networked system?
The question raised by Professor Cheng at this time is not the same as the telephone line?
Of course it’s different!
How can a networked system be so simple by integrating functions such as telegraph and telephone, as well as other functions?
Zhou Jimin didn't talk too much because he didn't have enough lunch time. Besides, talking about this now is like bragging. I have a woolen yarn.
The second computer hasn’t even come out yet, let alone a supercomputer.
Judging from the current situation in the mainland, just wait patiently.
In an era when everything is lacking, even if you want to do something, it will not be so easy to achieve.
After lunch, Zhou Jimin went to the hospital. Before seeing patients, he first had to put on protective clothing.
Zhou Jimin, fully armed, finally walked into the ward and saw Ding Xiaochuan being treated.
When the latter saw someone coming in, he wanted to salute, but was stopped by the doctor.
"Look who I brought here?"
Ding Xiaochuan's superior, He Weiguo, smiled and said to Ding Xiaochuan.
His face was full of doubts. Who else would come to see him in this sterile place? It couldn't be his wife, right?
The next moment, he saw a familiar yet unfamiliar face, and then blurted out: "Brother-in-law?"
Familiar because he remembers Zhou Jimin’s face very clearly and occasionally thinks of Zhou Jimin; unfamiliar because Zhou Jimin is very different now from what he was a few years ago.
In the summer of 1959, Ding Xiaochuan left the capital for the desert.
Therefore, it had been more than three years since he last saw Zhou Jimin.
"Xiaochuan, I didn't embarrass your sister. Yes, he is a great young man."
Patting Ding Xiaochuan on the shoulder, Zhou Jimin smiled and nodded.
Just by looking at the other party's condition, you can tell that it's not serious, or that he's recovering well.
Therefore, Zhou Jimin was somewhat relieved.
However, when the people nearby saw Zhou Jimin say this, they all looked weird.
Especially Mr. Deng, Professor Cheng and others, they remember that Zhou Jimin is one year younger than Ding Xiaochuan.
If it were Ding Xiaochuan from before, he might have been entangled in these trivial matters.
But now, he was so excited that he couldn't help hugging Zhou Jimin, and then cried like a child.
It’s the first time I’ve been away from home for so long, more than three years, and I can’t contact my family. Even sending a telegram is a luxury.
When he left home, he was only seventeen years old, just a child.
Now that I have met my family, it would be strange not to be excited.
Mr. Deng, the doctor and others all consciously gave up space to the two of them.
When he was done crying, Zhou Jimin pushed Ding Xiaochuan away and said:
"Okay, man, what's there to cry about? Sit down first and drink this glass of water."
There is no doubt about the magical effect of space spring water.
Looking at the turbid water, Ding Xiaochuan didn't frown and drank.
"This is a bitter potion I brewed. I learned it from an old man. I'm not sure whether this potion can effectively suppress nuclear radiation, but I think it can enhance your body's immunity."
While Ding Xiaochuan was drinking water, Zhou Jimin explained and put his hand on the other person's shoulder.
There are cloud beads in his hand, and the multi-pronged approach must have a certain effect on Ding Xiaochuan's body.
Nuclear radiation is an extremely destructive radioactive substance that emits energy in the form of waves or microscopic particles.
With a slight glance, Zhou Jimin knew that it was working when he noticed that the cloud beads were slowly fading.
"Brother-in-law, thank you, I feel much better."
Ding Xiaochuan was very grateful. This was the happiest moment since he came to the desert.
"Brother-in-law, why are you here? How is your family?"
"How did you get here?" Zhou Jimin raised his eyebrows and said with a half-smile:
"It's not because of you. I heard that you were injured, so I rushed over quickly. I didn't expect you to be alive and kicking. It's a shame that I was so worried about you."
"Ah?" Ding Xiaochuan was dumbfounded and quickly stopped explaining.
Seeing his clumsy and anxious expression, Zhou Jimin did not continue teasing him.
"Don't explain. It's okay as long as you're fine. Your sister has talked about you many times, and my parents often mention you in front of me..."
Before he finished speaking, Ding Xiaochuan's eyes turned red again.
"Why are you being pretentious again? Your family is very nice, they just miss you, why are you crying?"
Although he was scolded, Ding Xiaochuan still smiled happily.
Then Zhou Jimin looked down upon him with disgust, saying it was really ugly, you might as well keep crying.
Ding Xiaochuan didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
"That brat of yours is very naughty and often leads my little ones into mischief. Let me tell you, a son pays his debt to his father. When you get better, I will give your leader suggestions to train you well..."
Then Ding Xiaochuan would giggle, listen happily, and occasionally ask a few questions.
He was relieved to know that everything was fine at home.
The two chatted for more than half an hour, and then the door was pushed open. The doctor said that the time was up.
It's like visiting a prisoner, it's a bit troublesome.
But there is no way. Staying here for too long is not good for your health.
Although Zhou Jimin thinks he is in good health, it is better not to take risks.
"The potion I left for you, remember to drink one bottle every day, three bottles in total, and drink it within three days, remember?"
"Well, I remember my brother-in-law."
"Okay, take good care of yourself. After you recover from your injury, remember to ask for leave from your boss and come to me in Town 62."
After bidding farewell to Ding Xiaochuan, Zhou Jimin chatted with Mr. Deng and Professor Cheng for a while before setting off back to Town 62.
When I came back, it was no different than before I left.
"You're back? Disinfect first!"
Jiang Shengbo and the others had people prepare a disinfected room, which made Zhou Jimin very dissatisfied.
Before leaving, he had been disinfected at the atomic bomb site.
However, for the safety of town 62, he still held his nose and admitted it.
After the news, Zhou Jimin was allowed to return to his stone house.
In the vegetable garden, half of the vegetable land has been harvested, and Li Yuzhu has not had time to sow seeds.
Most of the vegetables were picked and given to Mr. Deng, Mr. Qian and the others.
So, when I walk into the vegetable garden now, I see a bare patch.
Zhou Jimin, who didn't get much rest, picked up the hoe and started working.
After all, there are no vegetables in the vegetable garden, and I feel uneasy.
Just after turning over a few pieces of land, Li Yuzhu, Wan Xiaohua and the others suddenly came in.
When they saw Zhou Jimin, they all screamed.
"Jimin, are you back?"
"Brother Zhou, are you back?"
Zhou Jimin raised his head and smiled, "A big living person stands in front of you and you still want to ask? Why do so many of you come to the vegetable garden? Will you help me hoe the ground?"
"Yes, they are all my helpers, how about it? When it comes to growing vegetables, they don't need me to do anything."
Li Yuzhu was extremely happy and looked like he was going to praise me quickly.
Wan Xiaohua and the others looked at it with smiles, and their hands were not idle. They picked up the hoes on the side and started to work.
People of this era are not pretentious and are really capable at work.
"I can tell, he's a worker." Zhou Jimin nodded and said:
"Work hard and I'll treat you to meat next time."
"Why don't you do it next time? I heard that you also have a basement. There should be a lot of meat hidden in it, right? Why don't you treat us to meat tonight?"
After hearing Li Yuzhu's words, Zhou Jimin shook his head and smiled bitterly:
"I only have that little money, can't you leave some for me?"
"Don't do this, Brother Zhou. I know you are very good. No one is as good at hiding meat as you. I don't know where you brought all the meat from. We can't find it at all."
Wan Xiaohua also interrupted, and several other female workers also nodded in agreement.
As they became familiar with Zhou Jimin, the workers Li Yuzhu called became bolder.
I don’t seem to think Zhou Jimin is scary.
62 The town is not big, so many big things go unreported, but small things or gossip will definitely spread far and wide.
Just like before, when we caught those two mice, no one commented.
Just spit on and draw a clear line, saying that you deserve it!
But the bet between Zhou Jimin and An Zesheng spread.
Everyone admired Zhou Jimin for actually hiding his computer on his body, but at that time, no one noticed it, such as An Zesheng, Lin Wuwang and other professionals.
It may seem simple afterwards, but no one would have thought of it at the time.
Therefore, many people brought up the old story again. The basement dug by Zhou Jimin was designated to contain a lot of meat.
No one has ever been to that basement, but neighbors can smell Zhou Jimin eating meat every now and then.
Looking at his shiny face, I know that he must eat meat often.
After all, no one can tell lies no matter how they look.
"Don't listen to the miraculous things they preach. In fact, it's a very simple thing, just like Sichuan's face changing, right?"
Zhou Jimin stopped and explained.
Of course Wan Xiaohua and the others understand this, but they are just curious.
"Brother Zhou, you don't hide things in your military coat every time, do you? Is this how you hide the meat and transport it back to the basement of the stone house?"
"What do you think?" Zhou Jimin did not give a direct answer at all, but asked a question and let them guess on their own.
Anyway, sometimes, their ideas are more fantasy than reality, and even more common sense than the truth.
In the midst of idle chatter, the vegetable patch was quickly cleared.
The next step is to plant vegetables.
In the corner of the vegetable garden, a lot of vegetable seedlings are cultivated, which can be simply pulled out and planted in the vegetable field.
Of course, you have to spread some farmyard manure before planting.
In the small town of 62, one of the most precious things is farmyard manure.
Water is not the most precious thing.
After all, there are many wells in 62 Town now. For power plants, glass factories, vegetable fields and many other places that need water, the wells can meet the supply.
Therefore, today’s small towns are quite rich in water resources.
Groundwater resources are abundant, and if properly utilized, the development of 62 Town can be taken to a higher level.
There is strength in numbers, and with the help of Li Yuzhu and Wan Xiaohua, the empty vegetable plots in the vegetable garden were quickly replanted with vegetables.
Looking at the vegetable field not far away that was about to be harvested, Zhou Jimin continued to sow seeds.
Recycling and not wasting resources is modern breeding.
How to make vegetable fields free and accumulate fertility.
Just kidding, grass is pretty much the same.
His two-acre vegetable garden has been fertilized with a lot of farmyard manure, and its fertility is on the horizontal line.
After finishing working in the vegetable garden, Zhou Jimin agreed to cook them a dinner.
Just two more pounds of pork for dinner is enough for them to be happy.
"Brother Zhou, the food you cook is delicious, so delicious."
"Yeah, it tastes much better than the canteen."
"It smells delicious, Brother Zhou, can I come to your place for a meal in the future?"
After the meal was cooked, as soon as they picked up the bowl and barely took a few bites of the food, the female workers started to praise them.
It was Wan Xiaohua who wanted to take advantage of him, and his words received unanimous response from everyone.
"As long as you can convince your sister-in-law, I have no objection."
Zhou Jimin smiled and lifted Ding Qiunan out as a shield, which caused Wan Xiaohua to be extremely dissatisfied:
"Brother Zhou, how can you do this? I can't even go back to the capital now, how can I convince my sister-in-law?"
"You also know that your sister-in-law is not with me. If you are in the capital, you can come to my house for dinner anytime."
This statement is obvious enough that Wan Xiaohua cannot not understand it.
So she rolled her eyes and said, "I'm just here to make a living. I don't want to be Xiaoqing's sister-in-law."
Li Yuzhu on the side was speechless. She didn't even have a chance, let alone you Wan Xiaohua?
It’s not a question of whether or not you want to think about it, but it’s impossible.
Whether it is in terms of appearance, figure, etc., or in terms of inner self-cultivation, experience, etc., Wan Xiaohua is far inferior to Li Yuzhu.
"Well, the word "cengceng" is used quite well." Zhou Jimin commented with a smile, and then added:
"Let me tell you a cold joke. There used to be an old man who loved banquets. But one time, he happened to meet a family in a small town who was hosting a banquet in a restaurant, and he also wanted to buy a wedding drink.
”
"But at that time, he was short of money and couldn't go even if he wanted to."
"Someone happened to know the old man and saw him hesitating at the door of the restaurant, so he smiled and asked him, why don't you go in for a wedding banquet?"
"The old man, because of his face, said: I will just wait at the door and won't go in."
After he finished speaking, Li Yuzhu and Wan Xiaohua just smiled awkwardly, not understanding at all.
Naturally, a group of young ladies cannot understand.
But, fortunately, we also succeeded in quelling the intentions of these women who wanted to make money.
Then they started talking about him following Mr. Deng and others to the station there.
When they heard that he said he was going to see his brother-in-law, they were all surprised and asked Ding Xiaochuan repeatedly if he was very excited?
"What's so exciting? It's just that we haven't seen each other for more than three years. Besides, I'm his brother-in-law, not his wife, so I'm really excited."
When Li Yuzhu heard what he said, he retorted:
"Didn't the ancients say that those who live outside the group are either gods or beasts?"
"Your brother-in-law has been living in this desolate desert and has not been able to see his relatives for more than three years. If he is not very excited when he sees you, he is either a beast or he has a bad relationship with you."
Zhou Jimin glanced at her, knowing that the other party had brought him in.
He didn't explain the matter to the other party, he just said to eat quickly.
Seeing that he changed the topic again, Li Yuzhu's eyes darkened and he fell silent.
The first half of dinner was joyful.
But the second half of the period was silent and depressing.
Therefore, after dinner, Wan Xiaohua and the others rushed to wash the dishes and seize the time to escape from here.
The fact that Li Yuzhu likes Zhou Jimin is considered an open secret in 62 Town.
Although everyone doesn’t know their past stories, knowing that they are classmates at Peking University is enough to envy them.
Zhou Jimin and Li Yuzhu were the only two people left in the stone house.
The latter was still pretending to wipe the table. Zhou Jimin didn't let the situation last too long, breaking the calm and saying:
"It's late at night, you should go back and rest."
"Jimin, can I..."
He quickly interrupted: "No, please go back quickly, before we both have to be paraded through the streets tomorrow."
Li Yuzhu was helpless. She wanted to say that she was not afraid, but when she saw Zhou Jimin's expression, she had no choice but to leave.
