Chapter 52 Going Abroad
Zhou Shuo looked at the only person sitting in front of the computer in the software laboratory and couldn't help but ask: "Director Huang, isn't she a member of the Science and Technology Commission? Why are she in the Sixty-fourth Institute again?"
Huang Shi smiled and said, "You said Xiao Yu, haha, let us Director Yu talk about this."
When Zhou Shuo heard Huangshi's name, he had a vague guess. Sure enough, Director Yu said proudly: "Haha, this is my daughter, Yu Qiong. You met her in the Science and Technology Commission that day and came to me. She is not a staff member of the Science and Technology Commission, but the youngest researcher in the Sixty-fourth Institute!"
Zhou Shuo saw that Yu Qiong was just twenty-three or four years old and had become a researcher at this age. It was already difficult for her father to be the director of the Science and Technology Commission.
Yu Qiong was wearing a white coat today, and her hair was still tied behind her head with a pencil. Even though a group of people stood beside her and talked about her, she didn't look up at her.
She stopped typing on the keyboard, stood up and walked two steps towards the door, and suddenly said to Zhou Shuo: "Please give in."
Zhou Shuo quickly dodged aside when he heard this, and then he realized that there was a file cabinet behind him. Yu Qiong and the others didn't even say hello, so they took out a folder inside, opened the folder and sat back while looking.
Director Yu smiled awkwardly and said, "Haha, this kid is not very good at dealing with things, Principal Zhou, don't mind."
Zhou Shuo waved his hand, looked at the folder in her hand curiously, and said, "It's okay, Director Yu, don't care. If I read it correctly, Yu Qiong is doing cascade dynamics analysis, right?"
As the saying goes, experts will know if there is any. Zhou Shuo asked this question immediately and let everyone know that he is definitely not an ordinary civilian, but has a considerable understanding of the Internet. It turns out that his success is not due to luck, and Microsoft will not be a sucker.
Zhou Shuo took two steps forward, looked at her computer screen, pointed to a string of formulas above and said: "You can't do this. The network topology has scale-free characteristics. The node degree divisions in the network are heterogeneous and obey the power law distribution. If you allocate connections according to your model, when you are attacked or have an emergency, it is likely that nodes will be overloaded and even lose efficiency or even unable to work!"
Yuqiong raised her head, helped her thick-framed glasses that occupied half of her face, frowned and said, "What?"
"Once this happens, although the packet can be rerouted and adjacent nodes can be transferred, this will cause more nodes to be blocked, and eventually a cascading failure will occur. Once this cascading failure infection occurs, it will be a disaster for the network!"
Zhou Shuo said, pulling out the pencil from her hair. She glared at him in surprise, but said nothing.
Zhou Shuo wrote on paper with a pencil and said: "In the classic ER and BA models, the average link interpolation of the two are these two formulas respectively. It can be seen that the average interpolation only reflects the static properties of the network and does not reflect the impact of congestion on routing. At this time, the congestion function must be introduced to redefine the routing rules of the data packet..."
Everyone was stunned by this remark. If you just thought Zhou Shuo was a little skilled just now, you would be shocked now. If you can tell some principles briefly, you will always have some impression of it as long as you read one or two journals. But you can also throw out formulas while saying that, you have to study it yourself.
Because the Internet has been around for a short time, all kinds of public research materials are discussed in general. For example, the two classic models cited by Zhou Shuo are all secrets of communication equipment manufacturers. If they can be improved or even proposed more efficient models, they are a perfect academic master.
Director Huang stood aside and asked curiously: "Is Principal Zhou so familiar with routing knowledge?"
Zhou Shuo put the pencil on the table, put his hands in the bag, looked into the distance, and silently said: "Where is, I'm just a little research."
Huaxing Group, where he worked in his previous life, was a large group with network communication equipment as its main business direction. The router he optimized and designed has far exceeded that of Tongji.
When he came to his senses, the entire laboratory was silent, and everyone was watching him quietly.
Zhou Shuo coughed awkwardly, thinking to himself, could he be a little pretentious, and everyone is silently despising me?
"Principal Zhou, you see this is my research topic. Can you give me some advice?"
A young man suddenly took out a notebook and handed it over to Zhou Shuo.
This made everyone wake up and squeezed up and said, "Principal Zhou, the generation algorithm of homogeneous topology and heterogeneous topology is about..."
"President Zhou, how is the nonlinear relationship between capacity and load..."
Seeing that everyone was really distorted, Director Huang pulled them over one by one and said angrily: "Why are you so undisciplined? Let's talk about any problems later!"
After finally calming down by Zhou Shuo, Director Huang held his hand and said, "Principal Zhou, look at when will we start working? The comrades are very motivated!"
Zhou Shuo smiled bitterly and said, "You know, I am also in danger. I have no idea about the task of 10 million export foreign exchange earnings. This time I came here mainly to ask Director Huang to recommend someone to go to the United States with me to see what opportunities can I get."
"Oh?" Director Huang's eyes lit up. This was a chance to go abroad! He asked with great enthusiasm: "I wonder what Principal Zhou has for candidates? Do you think I can do it?"
"Are you asking..." Zhou Shuo scratched his head and thought for a while, and said, "He has a good image, good temperament, fluent English speaking, familiar with the specific situation of the 64th Institute, excellent personal business, and it is best to have experience in living and working abroad..."
After Zhou Shuo finished speaking, he suddenly found that everyone's eyes were all looking at Yu Qiong. Director Huang smiled and said, "Is Principal Zhou's request? I'm afraid only Yu Qiong can meet it in the institute."
Zhou Shuo asked in surprise: "Why?"
"President Zhou probably doesn't know that Xiaoyu has returned from studying abroad at Columbia University in the United States! It's easy to say, she is the one who has experience in working and living abroad."
"Oh, no wonder!" Zhou Shuo suddenly realized. It seemed that Yu Qiong was a public-funded international student in the early 1990s. No wonder he became a researcher at a young age in a research institute that attaches great importance to seniority. Nowadays, even if there is a staffing, research institutes often cannot retain outstanding overseas students.
Director Huang lowered his head and leaned forward and asked, "Xiao Yu, the organization hopes that you can go to the United States with Principal Zhou for a business trip. What do you think?"
Yu Qiong picked up the pencil on the table and tied his hair again. He looked at Zhou Shuo silently, nodded and said, "Okay, I agree."
I don’t know where she developed this cold personality. It was obviously an opportunity for overseas travel that others could not hope for, but when she said it, it seemed like "bringing a watermelon home", with almost no emotional fluctuations.
Director Yu was happier, and it was not easy to go abroad once at this time. When his daughter went out once, she would have to bring back some novelties from the United States, which was very convenient to use and give gifts.
"By the way, there is another thing." Zhou Shuo pulled Director Huang and said, "Since our Sixty-fourth Institute is in the direction of optoelectronic network communication, can we apply for access to the Internet?"
Huang Suchan hesitated and said, "We also think about this. But the country's funds are tight now, so we will definitely not approve the report if we report it. Unless we can raise funds and build our own."
"What if you use a fixed-line? Carrier modem and demodulate on the fixed-line, so you don't need to add additional lines, right? This is also a common practice in the United States."
"This is not bad, but the long-distance phone bill is not cheap, it costs one dollar per minute."
Director Huang couldn't help but feel pain. In 1994, a long-distance phone bill cost per minute and a dollar. It means that one day when you hang online, the salary of two researchers will be in. At the current Internet speed, the maximum speed is only 28.9Kbps, and the transmission speed per second does not exceed 4K. A picture may be gone for 60 yuan.
Zhou Shuo patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Director Huang, I will bear the equipment and network fees. In this way, I can learn more about our work situation abroad, and it is still worth the effort."
"Then, okay." Director Huang reluctantly agreed.
In the following time, Zhou Shuo asked Microsoft to send an invitation letter and rushed to Beijing without stopping with Yu Qiong.
During the period when the embassy was waiting for his visa, he ran to 173 again.
Professor Zhao met Zhou Shuo and pulled him and asked, "Hello, you guy, I said that you would put Shao Shiming back after learning the program. Where are you now?"
Zhou Shuo scratched his head and pretended to be stupid: "Isn't this still learning?"
"I'm learning from you! It's been more than two months, and I haven't finished learning any program..."
Zhou Shuo spent all his efforts to calm Professor Zhao down.
Zhou Shuo said mysteriously: "Professor, are you interested in being the first email server in China?"
"Hey?" Sure enough, Professor Zhao was very interested in this topic.
In light of Zhou Shuo's network technology level, Professor Zhao said with his eyes shiny: "Can you do it?"
At this time, the Chinese Internet was completely in chaos. Even the domain name servers of .cn have just returned to China from the United States. There are only more than 20 websites that provide services in China. They are basically research projects for scientific and technological workers and have no commercial services.
Zhou Shuo nodded and said, "Hehe, just a little."
"Okay!" Professor Zhao slapped him on the back and almost knocked him down. He looked at Zhou Shuo overjoyed and said, "I really don't know where you learned these techniques from. There is no such environment in China!"
