the world is at stake

During the first power-on test, five NO.60 experts and technicians from both China and the Soviet Union were present and crowded in a small auditorium.The thing in front of them seemed too small, so that it couldn't be compared with the electronic tube equipment in terms of momentum.

The test program is input by punched paper tape, which is a floating-point arithmetic formula, and the result is output by another paper tape machine.It takes about 10 minutes to use 'MESM', and this time...

It was very quiet, save for the rattling of punched tape being swallowed by the tape machine.

People can't hear the buzzing of the tubes after they are powered on, and they can't feel the heat dissipation of the giant equipment.At most, it is a little undetectable movement of the water cooling system.

"If the new device can achieve 'MESM' performance, then it's a success."

"Of course, how big is the 'MESM', how big is this new device? Not to mention the power consumption of the two, the difference is several orders of magnitude."

"It only took fifty assembly girls three days to produce the new device, and as long as the supply of transistors can keep up, this thing can be mass-produced quickly."

"The State Planning Commission will be very happy. They will finally not have to face piles of cards all day doing addition, subtraction, multiplication and division."

"All scientific research units will be very happy. The more calculations, the happier. For example, several aerospace research institutes in Moscow have sent telegrams to inquire about the progress."

"If the new device is successful, we will be witnessing history today."

The onlookers in the back row couldn't help chatting.They are waiting, waiting for a result.But after waiting for less than a minute, I heard the sound of a tape machine coming from the front.

Ah... have to enter a new program again?

No... it was the result of the previous calculation.

There was an uproar at the scene, and many people were pinching their watches, thinking that no matter how fast the new equipment was, it would take a few minutes.But now...

The stern-faced Academician Lebedev was right next to the cabinet, and his students were looking at the data coming out of the punched paper tape.It takes longer to verify that the data is correct, and the end result is...

Completely correct.

The uproar sounded again, and everyone couldn't believe it.Believe it means...

Academician Lebedev sighed, took off his glasses and wiped them, and announced in a low tone, "It's really a remarkable achievement.

The "Dongfang" computer produced with transistors made by Chinese comrades has a transportation speed of more than 48 times per second, and the word length of floating-point operations is [-] bits.The world's most powerful supercomputer was born here! "

Boiling cheers sounded at the scene, and researchers from both China and the Soviet Union shouted for this.The sound shook the windows of the auditorium and burst through the ceiling to the world.

This is a great achievement, which represents that human beings will one day completely break free from their own shackles. After replacing manpower with machinery, they finally begin to have tools instead of brain power.

This thing can be mass-produced and promoted on a large scale.

Xiao Jinlang and 'Mr. Yang' stood behind the crowd. They thought it was very normal at first, and even wanted to laugh at themselves that the computing power of the 'Dongfang' computer was not as good as an electronic watch.

But in the face of this historic situation, the two felt inexplicably wanting to cry.

Chapter 105 Your Wife is Awesome!

Slightly back to the beginning of November, the transistor results of 'General Master Yang' caused a shock in the Soviet Union, and Zhou Qingfeng's filming on the 'Desire' was also very smooth.

Although director Peter lacks spirituality, he still has the basic skills of a professional background.He and the screenwriter understood the essence of Zhou Qingfeng's request to make a pretentious drama, and planned to create an era of gambling movies in America.

Although it is essentially a gambling film, it bears the sign of a romantic comedy.

Audrey Hepburn's innocence is the film's biggest weapon.She was born in an aristocratic family, and she only needs to play herself when she frowns and smiles.

There are also many old gamblers on board who were invited to serve as consultants or even playsets for the film's gambling game, giving the plot a strong realistic impact.Also added a lot of real casino secrets.

It took more than ten days to shoot, the voyage was over half, and the shooting was also over half.

Zhou Qingfeng learned Texas Hold'em for filming.Every evening if there is no shot of him, I will play a few rounds on the deck of the ship in the VIP area to pass the time.

In front of the poker table were Rocky Sun, Ronald Reagan, Audrey Hepburn, and several distinguished guests who participated in the show.

Reagan also had a small role in the film.He happened to lose two or three hundred dollars, he threw away the cards in frustration, and said to Zhou Qingfeng, "Chanders, can I make a suggestion?"

"Please say."

Zhou Qingfeng won the most money.It's not how good his brain is, but that he can really memorize cards.Hepburn, who is in charge of being the dealer, is not professional enough, and he often sees other people's cards with his sharp eyes.

"This is a comedy, do you want to design a stupid Chinese character with long braids, and let me be responsible for beating him up? You must know that Americans hate China."

Reagan also made a boxing action, quite proud of it.

Sun Luoji held the cards across Reagan's table, raised his eyes slightly upon hearing this, and remained silent.Zhou Qingfeng didn't make much noise, he just vetoed casually: "No."

"Why?" Reagan still wanted to persuade him, so that he would be more outstanding in Zhou Qingfeng's new film.Because this film is getting more and more favored by the people on board.

Although filming on the cruise ship was too sloppy, the relationship between director Peter and the crew and actors became smoother and smoother—everyone found that gambling on film is really a trick.

There is a plot of "gambling" in human nature. Gambling itself can stimulate the competitiveness of the participants, and it is easy to strengthen the audience's sense of substitution.

There are seven or eight gambling plots in the 'new film', ranging from creating emotional conflicts between the male and female protagonists to life-and-death gambling that pushes the plot to a climax.

In addition, Zhou Qingfeng used many classic scenes on the emotional line, allowing the hero and heroine to fully express themselves-from the indifference and rejection when they first met, to the silent warmth after getting to know each other, to the sadness and pain when parting.

When the cruise ship passed through Hawaii, it briefly stopped for two days to allow tourists to go ashore.The crew took the opportunity to film the parting scene of the male and female protagonists at the pier.

Repeated hesitation, unresolute love, and secular obstacles create a relationship that is destined but not bound.

All the actors found out that it was not the end of the happy reunion, and they almost rioted—they collectively asked Zhou Qingfeng to retake it, because the parting scene was too tear-jerking.

There are lovers who can't get married in the end.

After the filming, Hepburn was a little too involved in the scene, and hid in the cabin and cried for a while afterwards.

But no one can change Zhou Qingfeng's mind - I just need to cry to cheat money, and I need the tragic ending to be topical, so that the media can publicize it for free.

This movie is always cool from beginning to end, and the ending is actually sadomasochism.

But I have to say that it has great potential to become popular, not only making money but also earning fame.The tourists and staff on the cruise all hope to appear in the film, even if it is a non-speaking part for decoration.

Reagan wanted to get close to Zhou Qingfeng, and designed some plots and dramas for himself.Although he was rejected immediately, he was unwilling to give up and continued to persuade:

"Chanders, I've been in Hollywood for years and I'm the president of the Screen Actors Guild. We both need each other. I was a star too, and I know what American audiences like, so just add a few shots for me."

This was both flattering and deterrent, but Zhou Qingfeng's cold 'no' was still what he got in return.

"Why?" Reagan raised his voice in displeasure, wanting to show off his prestige as the chairman of the trade union.

But before Zhou Qingfeng could speak, Vivien Leigh appeared on the breezy rear deck.She went straight to the card table and whispered to the man: "I'm very tired and need to rest, but I can't sleep in the cabin."

Everyone at the poker table was stunned, only to find that the famous female star in the United States also brought a thin quilt and a small bench.She didn't wait for Zhou Qingfeng to agree, she squeezed into the man's arms and lay down on her own.

The small bench was used to support the feet, the thin blanket was used to cover the body, and the man's thick arms were used as pillows.

Just fell asleep so comfortably.

Uncle Zhou was still holding two cards in his hand. He frowned and thought for a moment, then realized that it was not angry, nor was it not angry, he could only freeze in place.

After a long while, he sighed softly, and he couldn't throw the beauty in his arms on the ground without grace, so he could only throw the cards in his hand on the poker table, indicating that he couldn't play anymore.

Others at the poker table could not make a sound, and Hepburn opened her mouth slightly but covered it gently, looking around, not daring to express her opinion at will.

Sun Luoji also threw the cards on the table, and gave Zhou Qingfeng a thumbs up—boss, you are amazing.Vivien Lido threw herself into her arms, which was unheard of.

The other men at the table were even more jealous to the point of madness, including Ingrid Bergman's Italian husband Rossellini, as well as many powerful and powerful figures on board, and even a reporter from Los Angeles.

Before Marilyn Monroe, Vivien Leigh was the top goddess in the minds of old beautiful men——Hepburn, with a body like ribs, couldn't be the girl of her dreams.

But the goddess is now sleeping in the arms of the scum.

As the "Hollywood gun king", Reagan was also dumbfounded.Who wouldn't want to sleep with Vivien Leigh?And who can let Vivien Leigh recommend herself as a pillow in the public?

Besides, the goddess is married.Her husband is a noble British jazz, and he is drinking in the... restaurant on the cruise ship.

Outsiders have already seen some clues about the relationship between Vivien Leigh and Zhou Qingfeng.Even Hepburn knew that when the crew was filming, Vivien Leigh would always appear out of nowhere and stare at 'Chanders'.

Does anyone know why?No one discussed it publicly.After all, big stars have a certain right to pardon public opinion.At most, everyone privately attributed this situation to Vivien Leigh's depression.

But now they openly slept together, and it was still in broad daylight, under the watchful eyes of everyone.Every man present was sour in his heart—why wasn't the goddess looking at me?

Seeing Zhou Qingfeng lose his cards, Reagan said half-jealously and half-jokingly: "Oh... I saw the big news. Chanders, don't you think about my proposal? The violent beating plot I designed will make people laugh out loud. "

Sun Luoji couldn't help but sneered at Reagan, thinking to himself: "You have the guts to tell a Chinese about beating up a Chinese with long braids. Believe it or not, if you annoy this guy in front of you, he can throw you into the sea in the middle of the night. "

This sneer angered Reagan, and he gave Sun Luoji a vicious look, "Do you have an opinion?"

"I have an opinion." Zhou Qingfeng hugged Vivien Leigh, who was sleeping with her eyes closed, and helped her to press the thin quilt, and said casually: "I am going to China this time to condolences to the captured American soldiers, and by the way, I will bring them to China and the United States. Relationships open up a channel of connection.”

Reagan hurriedly said, "So what? This is a plot I designed."

"This is my movie."

"Are you a communist?"

"So what?"

Reagan's questioning was regarded as a threat, which made the atmosphere at the poker table tense.

But Zhou Qingfeng's frank admission made the atmosphere weird again. Everyone at the table did not expect that in the years when McCarthy was rampant, someone would dare to admit that he was a communist.

Reagan let out a haha, and didn't know what to say.When others don't care about his threats, he has nothing to do.

Zhou Qingfeng continued: "Idiot, I know what you're thinking. Report me back to the FBI, right? I can tell you clearly that my files in the FBI can fill at least two cabinets.

Edgar Hoover knew I was a communist, and Congressman McCarthy knew it too.President Truman knew there was something wrong with me.But no one dared to reveal my secrets.

Guess what happened when you went to snitch?Am I sent to jail, or are you silenced?I bet it's the latter. "

Reagan felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, his buttocks twisted back and forth, glaring for a while, and gritting his teeth for a while.He also looked at the other people at the poker table, trying to find allies to fight together.

Zhou Qingfeng glanced at the poker table, and continued: "Do you think someone will stand with you?"

Whether it was the rich man or the reporter who was being watched, they all lowered their heads and remained silent.No righteous person has come forward to accuse 'Chanders' of cheating.

"Justice is a shy and timid little girl. She will only stand up when there are many people." Zhou Qingfeng said coldly, "Now I am stronger, and justice is on my side."

Reagan stared at the crowd at the poker table, and realized that he was really weak.Veins were throbbing on his forehead, and his usually eloquent mouth was speechless.After a long time, he pushed his chair up and said bitterly, "I think I have to leave now."

The moment he got up, Reagan hoped that someone at the poker table would stop him, saying that Lord Chanders was just joking, why take it seriously?He can also take advantage of the situation to laugh at himself and save some face.

But... no one spoke.

Standing in front of the table for a long time, there was no one to keep him.

Really shooting myself in the foot.

Embarrassed to death.

Reagan walked away slowly with stiff steps.

But someone said, "Mr. Reagan..."

It was 'Chanders' who spoke, did he want to admit his mistake?He certainly didn't want to make the relationship too stiff.He must want both sides to have a step down.

Reagan had already made up his mind that as long as the other party said it was a joke, he would accept an apology.Everyone at the card table also pricked up their ears, ready to respond at any time.

Let's be kind, everyone, there's no need to be like a firecracker, just start at one point.How will we meet in the future without leaving any sympathy?

But what Zhou Qingfeng said was, "Mr. Reagan, I want to say one thing, your fiancée is awesome!"

For the first time, Reagan didn't understand what he meant.He was still thinking about apologizing to the other party.

But Sun Luoji understood in seconds at the poker table, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Then the reporter from the Los Angeles Times got it, and soon the other men got it too.The emotions that had been pent up at the poker table for a long time were released instantly, and the men roared with laughter.

Amidst the laughter, Reagan also understood what was going on, and was so angry that he almost flew into a rage.He stomped on the spot, but didn't have the courage to retaliate against Zhou Qingfeng, so he left cursing.

After the owner left, the poker table quickly became quiet again, and everyone gradually realized that the matter was not simple.

First, Audrey Hepburn glanced at Zhou Qingfeng and left unhappy.Immediately after, the other players who played cards also left one after another, as if they wanted to avoid disaster.

Even Sun Luoji glanced at Vivien Leigh in Zhou Qingfeng's arms, shook his head and gave up the entire rear deck to the couple.

Waiting for the sea breeze to blow the scattered cards everywhere, Vivien Leigh, who had her eyes closed, opened her eyes and said, "Why did you anger Reagan? He is the chairman of the Screen Actors Guild."

"I'm just stating a fact. Reagan's fiancée Nancy is really great." Zhou Qingfeng's demeanor blinked and became like a ruffian deliberately provoking trouble.

Vivien Leigh was silent for a few seconds, shrank into the man's arms, and whispered, "Dirty."

"Since it's obscene, you still sleep on me?"

"Because I'm sleepy."

On the other hand, Reagan, who left angrily, stopped the reporter of the "Los Angeles Times" and asked him to immediately write a report to expose the true face of Chanders.

For this request, the reporter refused without hesitation: "Impossible, I don't want to lose my job."

"Chanders boasted that he had a relationship with a big man in Washington. This is an absolute lie. As the American media, you have the responsibility to expose that hypocrite and uncover the dark side."

"Those who uncover the shady scenes often die under the shady scenes." The reporter still refused to agree, but mocked: "Mr. Reagan, wait until you become the President of the United States one day to reveal the shady scenes. There is nothing I can do."

Reagan was even more furious, "If I become the president of the United States one day, I will definitely send Chanders, a communist, to prison. Even your accomplices will be punished."

The reporter was even more delighted, "I think Chanders would say that President Reagan's wife is awesome!"
