hangzhou port

On the sea after winter, gray-white waves beat against the rocks.

A few seagulls brushed across the horizon from the observation deck above the military base so briskly, leaving behind the black smear of the tail in the high-power binoculars behind the soldiers on guard all the way.

This is Hangzhou Port, which has officially entered winter after saying goodbye to summer.

More than half a year ago, Liang Sheng, who left Tsinghua University and came out of Shengsi, was lucky to come here, and it has been almost 100 days since he joined and participated in the progress of the secret project of "Dragon Palace".

From the moment he entered the technical engineering department composed of 63 senior technical personnel from my country, as a technician in his 20s, Arrow has already carried a very different mission.

industry, defense.

For a young man, this may be something that is difficult to directly touch or feel at the beginning of life. It is really intuitive to take it in this place full of soldiers and strict militarized management.

At this moment, the interior of the modern base center surrounded by high cement walls.

On the road in front of the small playground, four or five jeeps with special license plates were transporting some containers back and forth, and the lieutenant colonel behind the co-pilot sticking out his head and waving his hands vaguely said the same thing.

"Hey! Slow down! Open it carefully! These are all materials photographed by superiors! New Year's Day will be approaching in a few days! Even if we are on holiday at Hangzhou Port, we must first do our job well! Whoever does this Give me the skin in two days, and I'll use him to make dumpling stuffing!"

This remark caused a burst of laughter around. The concrete floor for the drill below was already rarely lively, but it became even more noisy after the boxes containing winter supplies were unloaded.

Along the place where the salty sea breeze blows, behind a transparent floor-to-ceiling window on the third floor below the observation deck, there is a figure that is already familiar to everyone, using instruments to complete today's fixed calculation work on the computer.

Behind him, now hung a giant high-definition display on the wall.

The naval deployment and the satellite images that symbolize the direction of most large ships in the port are changing in real time, and the temperature and temperature difference near Xiaoshan change in blue, yellow, and red at every moment.

Because it is a professional and closed national institution, Hangzhou Port has equipped every technician with the highest scientific research environment, but at the same time, with such a top-notch technical atmosphere, the living conditions are far from being so convenient.

Technicians can carry cellphones, but they cannot take pictures, record audio, or steal text messages anywhere on the military base.

All kinds of external communication software are prohibited to use, the network can only use the internal LAN, and in terms of contact with the outside world, you can only use your own phone or the base phone to contact outsiders every month.

The technicians have three meals a day in Hangzhou Port, life and work are extremely boring. Not to mention, some of them have wives and children.

In addition, during the process, the research and development of the "Dragon Palace" has been full of difficulties. Once people engaged in scientific research encounter such calculation problems, it is normal for them to temporarily self-isolate and see no one for a few days.

Because of this, he joined here at the beginning and got to know a group of older technicians before he became more aware of the place of Hangzhou Port and the hard work these people have made for my country's national defense construction.

As Liang Sheng knew, there was an engineer in the engineering command center who hadn't been home for almost two years.

This is an engineer in his 40s, with a fat body and a kind personality. He smiles at everyone he sees on weekdays, and sometimes he will take candy or chocolate from his pocket to others when he sees someone.

Liang Sheng met him because of a two-person calculation experiment that was going to be carried out very late.

Although this engineer is a serious engineering master, he is very careful.

Because he was worried that Liang Sheng, a young man, would be afraid of the cold in the middle of the night, he not only brought a blanket that they could temporarily sleep in the laboratory, but also enthusiastically recommended it to Xiaogan, saying that if he was sleepy, he could stand up and exercise for 10 minutes, and then Read a novel for a few minutes.

He carried a copy of "Ziwu Mountain Boy" with him, which was about the biography of Zheng Zhen, a poet in the late Qing Dynasty. Later that night, when Liang Sheng really felt sleepy and couldn't hold on, he used this biographical novel and this trick to get rid of it. A little nervous sleepiness.

In addition, Liang Sheng also heard that the engineer had a little daughter who loved sweets so much that her front teeth were broken. Every time she called, she would always ask her father when she would go home to buy sweets.

And because half of the base is built on the sea, people who are not used to the seaside environment will feel suffocation and chest tightness when they first arrive. The sweetness of the candy can make the mucous membranes in the mouth secrete saliva, making the brain temporarily forget the dizziness, so everyone sometimes jokes. Call this engineer 'Candy Daddy'.

For example, "Candy Daddy" has children but has not been seen all year round. There must be many in Hangzhou Port, including not only men but also women.

In front of everyone in the country, sometimes the small family has to make compromises.

Although everyone sometimes feels sorry for the person they care about, but since they embarked on the road of scientific research, they can only accept this status quo.

And if it is said that Jiang Xinwen affirmed and recommended him in terms of strength at the beginning, he got this opportunity to come to this scientific research family.

Then in the following days, Liang Sheng himself got the approval of all the engineers through his extremely high sensitivity to digital calculations and his proficiency in the pressure test at the bottom of the cabin.

——The actual water depth measurement and the official experiment of the environmental pressure-oriented formula were successful.

This is the best report card that Liang Sheng has produced for the entire project progress of the 'Dragon Palace' in the past seven months.

Not only was the record left by the predecessors broken because of him, but he also used his rare talent and amazing comprehension to assist Jiang Xinwen to fundamentally solve a technical problem of sixteen decimal places that had plagued the entire port of Hangzhou for several months. solve.

And if we look closely at this major technological breakthrough that once caused everyone to fall into ecstasy and shock, it can be traced back to when Liang Sheng first arrived at the base a few months ago.

Those days, thinking about it now, were the most difficult days for all the staff of Hangzhou Port.

Because of the failure of the fifth water entry experiment, everyone was hit hard mentally and mentally, and the previous lead pressure accident made all these situations worse.

Under such a premise, either advance or retreat.

But unless it is absolutely necessary, everyone is really reluctant to waste the efforts of the past few years.

In view of the technical difficulties in front of him, Jiang Xinwen, who has rich experience in cabin experiments, also started the calculation work. It was also at this time that a suggestion or reminder by Liang Sheng by chance one day caused things to appear in a certain way. degree of turnaround.

"Have you ever wondered why there is a nearly double-digit discrepancy between the draft we calculated and the actual buoyancy after the boat was launched?"

"……what?"

"The sea outside Zhoushan has long been worse than before. The microorganisms underneath have deprived too much oxygen, and the precise calculation of technology has been defeated by the nature in front of us time and time again. If you want to save the '9 Dragon Palace', you must The sea that carries it must be saved first, so what we should calculate now is not the number that this huge ship itself carries, but the number that this ocean can carry.”

"...Well, what you kid said makes sense!"

As Liang Sheng said this, Jiang Xinwen, who had suddenly realized the previous technical difficulties, was also awakened suddenly.

This was a detail that couldn't be smaller, but it really changed the situation.

And because the follow-up test involves a large number of calculations, what Liang Sheng can do is to do as much as possible by himself, to maximize the effective calculations, and not add any bad errors to the entire technical experiment process.

But manual verification is no better than computer proofreading. It not only consumes the brain, sits upright for a long time, puts a lot of mental attention, and also puts a great test on the spine and other physical health.

During that time, generally no one would bother Liang Sheng, but every dinner, but the cafeteria downstairs would leave him a meal.

Later, when the lab’s dinner was cold at night, the cafeteria would get up downstairs and warm it up for him two or three times. Liang Sheng didn’t pay attention to these things at first, but as time passed, he realized that it was Jiang Xinwen who took his own subsidy. Ask the cafeteria to make a few more for him as a supper.

It is this persistence, or the external support from the outside, that made the early error about the pressure test at the bottom of the cabin finally be critically resolved.

Looking back later, this is indeed a rare period of time for everyone, and a completely earth-shaking time in the sense of life.

Water quality improvement, technological change.

Liang Sheng solved the twin prime number problem that he had been struggling with in his undergraduate studies in the relatively poor and simple military base on the coast of the East China Sea, and finally made a breakthrough in the progress of the "Dragon Palace" project through his own efforts.

As for his background and origin, no one in Hangzhou Port has digged deeply so far.

However, he used his strength and persistence to win the respect of all Hangzhou Port technicians who witnessed his hard work this time. He not only defended his honor of the gold medal in the five National Mathematics Competitions, but also did not erase the time when he left Tsinghua University for a short time. The arrogance and dignity.

Therefore, even Senior Colonel Deng Lingfeng, who has always been bad-tempered and doesn't like to praise others, has publicly praised him several times. Absorbed under the hand.

In this regard, Liang Sheng did not immediately express his willingness.

In fact, the problems left over from Tsinghua University's history have always been a hidden danger in his heart. It is impossible for him to say that he will not deal with and understand the problems of those who harmed him behind his back. Fully reveal your true thoughts.

At this time, time unknowingly ushered in the day before New Year's Day in 2013.

It will be just a year after the sixth experiment, and the whole Hangzhou port is waiting for the festival in a relaxed mood for the time being.

But this morning, Liang Sheng, who was staying up all night on duty in the engineering room, heard the sound of a car horn outside, as if there was a noise coming from the gate of the base.

The horn of this car is a bit unusual for Hangzhou Port in the early morning of the day before New Year's Day.

When Liang Sheng, who put on the technician uniform, came out of the control room upstairs, he caught up with two junior officers who were practicing driving below. Seeing him, the other party who had known each other for more than half a year even greeted him. .

Seeing this, Liang Sheng also turned back, and when he went down the spiral staircase next to the observation deck, this time, he finally discovered why it was so lively outside today.

——It turned out that Hangzhou Port had a distinguished guest on this New Year's Day after half a year.

……

High-end gift boxes of fruits and seafood airfreighted from Hainan.

Sea cucumbers and three delicacies dumplings in self-heating lunch boxes, each with a box of high-end red wine, supermarket shopping cards and brand-name down jackets that you will definitely need even if you don’t go home during the Chinese New Year.

When these New Year's Day gifts loaded in the fresh trucks with the familiar 'Jianfeng.com' logo were transported into Hangzhou Port-who came here, everyone knew very well.

After all, in today's China, who else can fly these expensive and deadly fruit gifts all the way here in this winter? I think it is only us who have been doing it in the fiercely competitive e-commerce for the past ten years. Boss Liang, who is in full swing.

Concentrate on the supply of goods and buy fresh food. About six or seven years ago, his Chinese shopping mall opened to Los Angeles and Australia.

At that time, he was the first to buy imported oysters and bolongs in supermarkets in China. Later, after the quality of coastal seafood farming improved in the past two days, his warehouses became denser and more convenient, so he just kept up with it. The subsequent wave of e-commerce.

This time, he has a large warehouse in Jinshan. This New Year's Day gift for the soldiers and technicians stationed in Hong Kong at this time is really a surprise.

And because he has been here many times more than half a year ago, and Longjiang Feiteng has been investing in and participating in the "Dragon Palace" project, many officers and technicians in Hangzhou Port know him.

So this time, Liang Feilong got out of the car wearing a jacket, wearing sunglasses, and carrying a bag in his hand. Although he looked like a busy person and didn't even bring a secretary, he was unanimously welcomed by everyone for no reason. .

"Oh, Liang, Mr. Liang! Why did you find time to come over on New Year's Day! Welcome, welcome, warm welcome, these things are..."

He probably didn't expect him to come at this time. As the current technical consultant of the station, Jiang Xinwen, an old guy, rarely came out to say hello enthusiastically.The last time the two of them met was in Shengsi, unexpectedly half a year later, they met each other at Hangzhou Port.

"Dr. Jiang, long time no see. It's just in time for New Year's Day, and I'm sending some New Year's goods to Hangzhou Port. I heard that the sixth experiment is about to start, right? Everyone has worked really hard this time..."

Seeing this, the man who casually took off his sunglasses also came forward to shake Jiang Xinwen's hand with a smile.

Compared with half a year ago, his face looked thinner, and his skin tone was darker because he spent the second half of the year in a seaside city. His cheeks, which had not shown his age since he was young, lacked the attention he used to have as a successful person And delicate, more chic and powerful.

During this period of time, this well-known rich man, who will soon be 36 years old in the next year, but is still unmarried, spends his days in the small fishing village of Shengsi studying weaving nets, fishing for lotus roots, and digging into the mud with farmers. I set up a piece of land on the circle and devoted myself to marine farming, and I was not idle at all.

During this period, he also sponsored a film crew to make a movie. This miracle was also spread in the public, and almost attracted locals from more than a dozen nearby islands to come to watch the actors make a movie.

In the past one or two months, Shengsi County has officially entered winter.

Obviously, a few months ago, everyone still remembered that summer just started, and in a blink of an eye, every household has put on winter clothes and started preparing for the New Year.

The villagers in the local town and all kinds of businessmen in the dealer’s market began to pickle pickles and grind flour to make vegetable fruit rice cakes at home. I heard that in Ningbo, the days of grinding water and flour to make mugwort rice cakes were earlier. They're pretty late here.

Right now, the crew of "Yugong Yihai" has not left because of some camera reshoots.

After Liang Sheng generously invited their director and some production staff to visit Ningbo, he came all the way from Shengsi County alone. When talking about the reason for coming to Hangzhou Port this time, he and Jiang Xinwen only said that they came to express condolences to everyone. , without mentioning more.

Catch up with Deng Lingfeng this time because he was away for a meeting in Nanjing, and no one yelled at him. Boss Liang entered the center of the base by himself. I found the cafeteria in a familiar way.

Who is he looking for?

The answer is obviously obvious.

In the past seven months, although he hasn't been here once from the beginning to the end, but in terms of contact with this place, except for business affairs, another strange number will send him two messages every month.

He knew who this number was from the first time he called.

Hangzhou Port does not allow frequent contact between internal personnel and outsiders, but the text messages that can pass the review must also pass the review.

The two of them didn't specify anything, they just sent each other back and forth without much nonsense, sometimes in the middle of the night, sometimes early in the morning, basically to report that they are safe and to catch up with the recent mood of both parties They are all good, and sometimes I can receive an ancient poem that seems a bit difficult to understand.

[139XXXXXXX]:

"Sitting in the court for a long time, the wind is quiet and calm."

"The bright moon comes late at night, and the lower star pavilion is far away from the forest."

"The fish and the dragon blow the shadow of the mist, and the cat and the dog share the shade of the flower."

"Being happy outside the hustle and bustle, relying on Ke Qihao to sing."

This kind of elegant thing, such as vulgar boss Liang Feilong really didn't understand at first.

Later, he checked on the Internet and found out that this is an excerpt from the book, called "Ziwu Mountain Child".

The general idea is that a Qing Dynasty poet sighed in a poem one day, the life outside is really not good, it is better to be at home, there are trees, cats, dogs, and dragons at home, everything is there, as long as you go home, everything will be fine .

Only people in their culture understand this kind of implicit and somewhat sullen humor.

But our boss Liang himself was amused.

Thinking of how there was a guy at the entrance of the county hospital last time who was stubborn with him, the current situation has diluted the conflict between the two people at that time, and there was a vague gap of opinion and atmosphere where no one wanted to think about the other.

And this trip, his original intention was to say that on this New Year's Day when everyone else is reunited, it would be nice even if the two of them could meet again in this Hangzhou port.

Just at this moment, everyone is busy getting the boxes of sumptuous New Year's Day gifts on the 'Jianfeng.com' express car at the door, and no one comes to eat in the quiet small cafeteria here.

So it went smoothly, and Liang Sheng just found the young man who was sitting alone in the cafeteria downstairs with no one else around him.

Looking at it this way, the changes in this young man who was still a child in his eyes are really not small.

Compared with the college student who invited him to lunch at the back door of Tsinghua University half a year ago, he looked somewhat dull and unreasonable.

The young man in front of him not only looks more and more temperamental, but also has a tall and straight figure like a pine and cypress irrigated by mountain spring water, but also has a sense of stability on his shoulders that he can finally take responsibility for himself and be a leader.

Such an elegant, indifferent and noble person is sitting there alone.

Even if he quietly does not speak actively, people can still feel the excellence and demeanor exuding around him. This is an external demeanor that is more attractive than the internal itself, because such things as spirit and energy cannot be achieved overnight. cultivated.

And even if I had heard about his presence here before, seeing it with my own eyes, I still felt that it was really refreshing.

Far away from the entrance of the cafeteria, the man standing still with his pockets in his pocket unconsciously squinted his eyes a little strangely, and his eyes, which were used to seeing all kinds of fresh people in various shopping malls, fell on the handsome side that he could barely recognize. I can't move my face away.

At that moment, the man who didn't realize there was any problem with his thinking thought for a while and raised his hand to call him.

Coincidentally at this moment, the young man over there raised his head calmly as if he had noticed something.

In the next second, the two of them looked at each other like this, and all the thoughts about personal ideals, growth, conflicts, struggles, and thoughts buried in the bottom of their hearts in the past disappeared in an instant, leaving only you and me at the other end, beyond sight.
