Siheyuan: I eat melons while doing scientific research

Chapter 1083: Chief Engineer Gao's Large Capacity
The leader of the Agriculture and Livestock Commission was stunned when he heard this: "Commissioner Gao? Could it be him? I do know a Commissioner Gao from the 17th Ministry of Machinery."

He thought of Gao Zhendong, the young man who had single-handedly supplied most of the new materials needed for agricultural machinery in the 17th Ministry of Machine Building and who had just been added as a member of the scientific committee.

If it was him, it would be truly miraculous. Even if he discovered it by accident, not only was his luck incredible, but he also dared to ask comrades from Qianshan to try to plant it. This shows his sensitivity and decision-making ability is also at its peak.

In fact, for anyone in Gao Zhendong's position, it doesn't require much decision-making. It won't cost anything to give it a try anyway, and there are many people willing to help.

"Send someone down to Qianshan to verify. If it's correct, ask them for some seeds and bring their people back to Beijing to report the good news!"

Although this is not a staple food, the yield of 3500 kilograms per mu is a major event worth reporting to Beijing. You should know that potatoes are grown not only in Qianshan. Even if this variety is not suitable for the local climate and soil in other places and may reduce production or even have a poor harvest, and early-maturing varieties are not suitable for planting in late-maturing areas, it is still a great event on the front line of agricultural seed breeding.

Although it’s not tens of thousands of pounds, it may be several thousand pounds!
"Okay, leader, I'll go there myself!" The Director of the Seed Industry Bureau was full of energy.

At about the same time, Gao Zhendong was also answering a phone call from the Qianshan leader himself.

"Commissioner Gao, I'm calling you to, first, announce the good news, second, express my gratitude, and third, apologize." The Qianshan leader was in high spirits on the phone and said to Gao Zhendong on the other end with a smile.

"Good news?" There are many possibilities for Qianshan to find a reason to tell him the good news, and Gao Zhendong doesn't know which one it is.

"Yes, the potato seeds you sent us have yielded a good harvest!"

Is it really a good harvest? Gao Zhendong felt relieved. Although he knew that the seed was a good variety, he still couldn't guarantee whether it could be grown.

"Great!" It was worth it to send this thing back at the risk of being accused of being greedy.

"The yield per mu is 3500 kilograms! Hahaha, the basic food problem in Qianshan is expected to be solved. So, on behalf of the people of Qianshan, I would like to thank you!" There are really too few farmlands in Qianshan.

"No, no, this is what I should do." The universal answer comes online.

"This third one is to apologize to you. We may not be able to let you eat as much as you promised with this batch. We have to save the seeds, which are too precious. We can only give you a few as a token of our appreciation. But I promise that you can eat as much as you want next season!" The leader of Qianshan said with a smile, a bit jokingly, but actually with a bit of formality.

So you remember that I'm a foodie, right? Gao Zhendong didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Okay, then I'll wait for the day when I can eat it at will!" Gao Zhendong's words sounded as if he was still thinking about eating, but in fact, what he meant was that he hoped Qianshan could successfully promote this variety.

The leader of Qianshan also heard it and laughed: "Okay, I'll wait too! I'll accompany you to eat and drink a few cups!"

Oh, maize seeds and potatoes, right? Sure, sure.
-
In the Computer Equipment Research Institute of Factory 1201, several comrades were gathered around two computers. The computers in front of them were a little different. The cases were wide open, and on the computer motherboard, there was a device that had never been seen before.

"Team leader, the file transfer protocol is connected!" a comrade in a white coat reported to another comrade.

Computers are high-tech these days, but the main form of clothing for people working in the field is still white coats, which have not evolved into plaid shirts. Of course, the comrades' hair volume is still maintained at a reasonable level.

"Start transmission! Transmission direction, test machine No. 1 to test machine No. 2." A comrade who looked like the team leader issued the test order.

"Beep!" Just after he gave the command, the computer beeped within a few seconds.

"Be careful, don't enter random commands. We are doing an experiment, be serious." The team leader frowned. The girl in charge of machine No. 1 was a little clumsy. She entered the wrong command and the computer even sounded an alarm.

Unexpectedly, the comrades on Unit 1 opened their mouths wide and turned to look at the team leader: "Team leader, it's over! It's over!"

Oh, is this too much pressure? The team leader quickly comforted her: "Don't worry, don't worry, it doesn't matter if you enter the wrong command, it won't cause any damage to the computer. Mr. Gao said it well, you can mess around with the software, don't worry, you don't have the ability to damage the hardware through software."

Comfort is comfort, but listening to these words of comfort, I feel a little uncomfortable.

"No, team leader, I meant the file has been transferred!" The comrade from Unit 1 explained the reason why she opened her mouth wide, she was so surprised.

"Transferred? Impossible!" The test file is as large as 10kB. It takes more than a minute to transfer on the modem! This is only a few seconds, plus your command operation time and response time.

How fast can this thing go? You guys are crazy.

"Impossible" may be the most common phrase said by comrades who have work interactions with Gao Zhendong, or even the only one.

"Really, really, come and see."

"It's true, I've received it, team leader, come and have a look." The comrade in Unit 2 seemed to have just recovered from the shock. The team leader leaned over and looked at the "Transmission Completed" on the screen of Unit 1 and the "Error Rate: 2%" on the screen of Unit 0, dumbfounded.

Really that fast?

According to the duck theory, if something looks like duck, sounds like duck, and tastes like duck, then it is duck.

So, is the transmission really completed?
The team leader subconsciously looked at the line of words before "Transfer Completed" on the screen.

"Transfer speed: 93kB/s."

"Fuck! This thing is so fast!" The team leader couldn't help but swear, and the female comrade in Unit 1 pouted. The team leader was tall, handsome, good-tempered, and skilled, but unfortunately he had a big mouth.

Comrades, you look at me and I look at you, and only then do we realize the value of “Made by Chief Engineer Gao himself”. The transmission rate of this thing is probably close to 1Mbps!
"Hurry up, merge the files and make sure the computer takes more than 100 seconds to transfer them." If it takes more than 100 seconds, the average transfer rate will be more objective.

Mr. Gao only wrote "transfer large-capacity files" in the test requirements, and left the specific size to these young people to work out freely. How could they know that his "large capacity" was really large!
"No, Team Leader. From what we have just seen, a 100-second transmission would require at least 10000 kB. Even the latest double-sided floppy disk we have has a maximum capacity of only 270 kB. It simply cannot hold all that!"

"Then use a tape... No, no, a tape won't fit."

"Yes, and the main problem with tapes is the long time it takes to read the tapes, which has nothing to do with the transfer rate."

"Yes, team leader. Disk reading also takes a long time. I didn't feel the time just now for 10kB because the file is not big. If the entire disk is read for 270k, it will still take a lot of time to read the file."

The team leader thought about it for a long time and realized that it was all over.

"In this way, we can mobilize the large-capacity memory of the research institute and insert it into the two machines, and send the data in a loop on the memory. As for the cumulative sending size... about 1000kB, it should take at least 10 seconds to send." The team leader had to settle for the second best option. Chief Engineer Gao's product was really too unbearable.

"The receiving end doesn't have that much buffer, so writing to disk is slow."

"After receiving the cyclic data once, it is verified and then discarded, and only the verification and the total reception amount are counted."

As long as the verification is normal, it means that the transmission in this cycle is normal. With this, plus the total received amount, it can also explain the problem.

"Okay." The team leader is the team leader, this is a good idea!
Comrades from the Computer Equipment Research Institute of Factory 1201 tried their best to push forward the testing work of network card and hub samples despite the lack of conditions.

It is really difficult, Chief Engineer Gao is really amazing.

But I learned a lot and gained a lot of experience. This is really amazing thanks to Chief Engineer Gao.

Gao Zhendong himself did not know how much pain and gain he had brought to his comrades by letting them design the details of the experiment on their own. He was just a hands-off boss, and his work on the network card issue had been basically completed.

He rushed home after get off work, and according to Lou Xiao'e's class schedule, he should have already arrived home.

Sure enough, before he even entered the door, he heard Lou Xiao'e teasing the children. The laughter of adults and children sounded like silver bells.

"Oh, you look so happy? It seems like there's something happy going on at school."

"Well, yes, it's a great event, hahaha~~~~~" Lou Xiao'e laughed happily.

"Come on, Yanzhi, ask your mother to tell you." Gao Zhendong grabbed Gao Changying's little hand and touched Lou Xiao'e's face.

"You can listen if you want to. Why are you using the child's name as a pretext?"

Gao Zhendong laughed when he heard this. He remembered the brothers he saw on the Internet in his previous life who had "a one-year-old daughter crying and shouting to buy her a 1, so he had no choice but to buy her one."

Lou Xiao'e held Gao Changhe tightly in her arms. "Professor Qi from our school led us through a long period of experiments and analysis and confirmed one thing - that is, the reason why the Streptococcus you mentioned can inhibit Klebsiella is nothing else but because it produces an active ingredient, and the antibacterial effect of this active ingredient itself is very weak. Do you know what this means?"

Looking at her excited face, Gao Zhendong pretended to be stupid. I know about this, but I can't tell you and spoil your fun. "I don't understand your major, tell me quickly."

Lou Xiao'e was really pleased: "This means that the possibility you mentioned is very likely. The active ingredient produced by Streptococcus clavulosa is only responsible for inactivating β-lactamase. It is very likely a β-lactamase inhibitor!"

It does not have a strong bactericidal ability by itself, but it can kill Klebsiella when combined with penicillin. From a causal analysis, this possibility is a very reasonable explanation.
