Reaching for the stars with one hand

Chapter 5 Upgrade
Everyone burst into laughter, and the director let out a "Pooh", "I really recruited a son-in-law, so I will be transferred to the courtyard. Our center seems to be a bit unable to accommodate him."

Zhang Yong came to the courtyard and entered the gate of the office.

Director Luo is short in stature, and belongs to the category of people whose head can be blocked by the table when sitting on a chair.It took Zhang Yong a little effort to barely see the leader sitting upright.

Director Luo's face sank like water, "Zhang Yong, do you have overseas relations?"

Zhang Yong was taken aback, "No?"

"Do you have any contacts with foreign countries?"

It was only at this time that Zhang Yong realized that there was an echo from the service card.

"Report, Director Luo, my future mother-in-law is in the United States, does that count? But, my girlfriend and I haven't met each other yet."

This joke is obviously a bit ahead of Director Luo.He was stunned for more than ten seconds, his mind racing, "mother-in-law" and "girlfriend"... what do you mean?
Finally, he came to his senses and slapped the table, "Zhang Yong, be more serious."

Zhang Yong's burden did not sound, he felt more bored than Director Luo.

"Director, I personally don't have any overseas contacts. But for the six GPS devices in our center, I just sent a service card to the manufacturer. Is there any feedback?"

"The equipment in the center?" Director Luo's expression softened a little, and he took out a package from the drawer. "Is it this thing? Why does the center keep your personal information?"

"Oh, the director said he couldn't figure out the English alphabet, and let me take full responsibility."

Director Luo immediately understood what happened, and cursed inwardly, "Old slippery man." Then he handed over the package.

Zhang Yong immediately said, "Yes, that's it. Skydon is the equipment manufacturer. These should be some upgrade tools or something."

Director Luo was very disgusted with Zhang Yong's blurted English, and he sternly said again, "Open it, let me take a look. We have a rule that we will not open your personal belongings behind your back, but since it is still a public property, it needs to be counted in person. "

Zhang Yong opened the package, and sure enough, there was a reply letter for the service card inside.There is also a small three-inch floppy disk with the firmware version on the label, which is the new firmware, and another envelope is a step-by-step description of the firmware upgrade.

The point is correct, Zhang Yong wrote the acceptance list, and then signed it.

Director Luo almost stood on the chair and signed his name, then waved his little hand, "Okay, take it back."

……

On the second day, in the GPS center, six devices were upgraded for the first time in history.

Jin Taro didn't participate, he was not in the office, and he didn't know where he went, which fully reflected Zhang Yong's leadership demeanor of "employing people without suspicion and others not using them".

The angry maniac was a fringe figure who was going to leave, he didn't want to be troublesome, he wanted to persuade Zhang Yong to keep a low profile.But seeing that Zhang Yong had alarmed the entire center, he had no choice but to keep his mouth shut, hoping for good luck in upgrading.

As for the others, everyone just watched curiously, and at the same time did not refuse to offer help. As long as Zhang Yong asked, they would step forward to help, but if Zhang Yong didn't give instructions, everyone would not act rashly.

Zhang Yong turned on the computer, connected the instrument, and checked the data cable and power supply for the last time. After confirming that everything was correct, he turned on the device and switched to the communication interface.

The three-inch floppy disk sent by Skydon is inserted into this side. The content of the floppy disk is very simple, an upgrade tool, an exe executable file, and a new firmware file.

Zhang Yong carefully checked the interface protocol, set the baud rate, and finally, resolutely pressed the Enter key.

The computer screen and the instrument screen turned black at the same time, and then, a progress bar lit up at the bottom of the screen, flashing and jumping from the starting point to the end point.

In the eyes of everyone, the progress bar finally reached the end. After a flash, the computer screen returned to a DOS window, and the instrument restarted. When it was opened again, the interface had obviously been optimized.Zhang Yong checked the version number, and felt a burst of joy in his heart. The upgrade was completed. He waved his hand as if he had won a battle, "Next one."

Gong Yi responded immediately, "Come on, you." He quickly helped Zhang Yong replace with another device.

After a while, all six devices were upgraded, and everything went smoothly without any problems.

Gong Yi stood up, "Everyone, let's celebrate. Let's give our Ah Yong a little applause, and thank him for creating the history of our center."

Immediately there was enthusiastic and scattered applause in the computer room, and Zhang Yong was a little overwhelmed with excitement.

The angry maniac took a look from a distance, and said in his heart: "You are lucky, silly boy." He walked away silently.

Someone had already called Jin Taro, and Director Jin was also in a good mood on the phone.The success of the upgrade was of course due to his leadership. He decided to write this into his monthly summary.

Everyone, including the experienced rage maniacs, overlooked one thing.

To verify whether a machine is working normally is not to see if its menu is normal, but to test it on the spot to see if the data is normal.

Zhang Yong is obviously inexperienced, and the madman is no longer thinking about this, but is more focused on his studies.As for the others, they were either inexperienced or too experienced. In short, none of them asked Zhang Yong for a field test.

Thus, a crisis that changes Zhang Yong's fate is approaching quietly.

……

A week later, the members of the GPS Center, who were already short of angry madmen, dragged six precious GPS devices with their own luggage. With a laptop computer, they set foot on the train going south to Suzhou, where a new project was waiting for them.

A routine reception, a harmonious dinner party.

Field preparation for the next day, equipment charging, memory checking.Zhang Yong and his brothers made a one-month field plan based on the map, arranging time, personnel, and vehicles one by one.

The director's attitude towards Zhang Yong has changed slightly. Although he is a bit hesitant to advance or retreat, he is indeed a good hand at work and is more conscientious. Young people have shortcomings. Let's see how they grow in the future.Of course, the deeper reason is that Zhang Yong's upgrade operation did not cause him any trouble, but instead had a performance worth reporting to the leader.

The field work on the first day went smoothly. Colleagues came back one after another with the vehicles and went to Zhang Yong's room to unload the equipment.

Zhang Yong connected the equipment to his notebook, downloaded the data in sequence, and then modified the roll call in sequence according to the field records. The instrument was high.After all the data is ready, click on the processing interface and press Enter.Leave the computer to work overtime while I go out to dinner with my colleagues.

It was past nine o'clock in the evening when Zhang Yong returned to the room. Almost at the same time as he entered the door, he heard a "ding" from the notebook, indicating that the baseline calculation had been completed.

Zhang Yong walked quickly to the table, hit enter, and instantly petrified.

6 sets of equipment, 15 baselines, 12 marked red, 80.00% unqualified, Zhang Yong's head buzzed, something went wrong.

He sat down quickly and began to check the data.The satellite observation value is like being hacked into pieces by a thousand knives, and it is disastrous.

Questions about upgrading?Hope not.Zhang Yong immediately decided to test again.

He didn't dare to ask others to help, so he picked up two instruments and went outside, turned them on, observed them, turned them off and on again, and observed them again, measuring for five consecutive time periods.

Then go back to the room and start processing.

This time it was even worse, five baselines, five red flags, zero pass rate.

Zhang Yong was sweating and could no longer keep calm.He knocked on Senior Brother Zhao's door next door, hoping that this senior technical expert could save his life.

Brother Zhao heard this, and without thinking about changing clothes, he stumbled to Zhang Yong's room in his underwear and slippers.Zhang Yong watched the senior brother repeating all the things he had done, feeling more and more heavy, but still hoped that maybe the senior brother would have a flash of inspiration in the next second, suddenly find the problem and solve it.

Until, he heard something he didn't want to hear, "Hurry up and report to the director, otherwise it will be more troublesome." Zhang Yong's heart fell to the bottom.

Jin Taro was furious, completely disregarding the leadership demeanor, pointed at Zhang Yong's nose and cursed, completely forgetting that he had just written about the equipment upgrade under his leadership in the monthly report.Of course, it is also possible that he scolded even more because he thought of his own report.

Zhang Yong didn't retort, he felt wronged instinctively, but now it's no longer a matter of right or wrong, the project is right in front of him, life and death are at stake at this moment, if it is not resolved in time, the consequences may be landslides and ground cracks, and the building will collapse.

The director was tired of scolding, and regained some leadership rationality.

"Zhang Yong, temporarily suspend your data processing position. How to deal with it is up to the leaders of the courtyard. But you can't stay out of it, you must be responsible to the end. Now you contact Tiangong Group to see if you can solve the problem quickly .You have three days, and I will report this matter to the courtyard in three days. If I have to report at that time, don't mention you, I will also take responsibility together..."

Before going out, the director turned around and said, "Xiao Zhang, as I said, you have to be down-to-earth. Don't think that you can be friends with foreigners just because you know a little English. Do you think that group of Americans can help you at this time?" Are you looking for people like Tiangong Group? Learn a lesson, young man, don’t always want to show off.”

……

The country on the other side of the ocean, a building in the center of Silicon Valley, the logo of Skydon lies low-key on the grass at the entrance.

A very regular monthly meeting. This is a month without new product releases, and it is not a peak season for sales. It should have been just a regular meeting.

The sales report of several regions in the Asian market, the market report of the entire region, and the forecast update. When it comes to the after-sales and technical support links that everyone cares about the least, the report from the after-sales supervisor is also nothing new. Everyone is waiting for the moment when the meeting ends.

The supervisor suddenly felt the need to emphasize something, so he added, "This month, we provided technical support and services directly to users in China for the first time...."

The director's words were suddenly interrupted, "China, you mean China?"

The supervisor nodded, wondering if there was something wrong with my pronunciation of China. He turned his head and saw the serious face of Lei, the Asia Pacific Director.

"Tell me the details, how did you provide services directly to Chinese users, who contacted you, and who did you contact?"

Everyone was stunned. The meeting that was supposed to end was reopened because of Lei's unreasonable attention.
