In the base area, the name Shuilu Shenghua is well-known and everyone knows it.⊙,

It is not the name of a certain unit, but the official name of the food street in the commercial district, with its full name being Shuilu Shenghua Avenue.

This road is three kilometers long. It is the Civil Affairs Bureau to the east, and the Jinxiu Plaza where the Party Committee is located, and the Binjiang Avenue to the west. Because there are many citizens coming here to enjoy delicious food, most diners choose their favorite restaurants on foot along the street. Therefore, in order to protect pedestrian safety, the entire road is listed as a pedestrian street and motor vehicles are not allowed to enter.

Five vertical roads divide the water road into six sections. This division also happens to become the natural dividing line between different cuisines such as seafood, Central Plains, and Northern Cuisine.

After years of development, most people in old base areas have already had a fixed job, stable life, and have certain consumption capacity. The number of people who are willing to eat in restaurants outside has also begun to rise. However, overall, everyone's income is not too high, and it is okay to have enough food. Occasionally, there is free money to enjoy a meal that you can't eat normally, but it is limited to ordinary restaurants with relatively low fees.

Therefore, on Shuilu Shenghua Avenue, there are only two or three luxuriously decorated hotels near the entrance of Jinxiu Plaza, which are used to welcome a few people who have become rich first. Most road sections are still mainly small and medium-sized restaurants with affordable expenses. Usually, a family of three spends only two or three yuan for a meal here. Even if it is a treat, it is only more than ten yuan, and it is a meal that is reserved for a meal of 20 or 30 people. The total fee is less than 10 yuan.

In addition to these street-facing shops, a plastic roof stall was built by the municipal department in the middle of the middle avenue. It only charges a little stall fee to provide to vendors with small profits. It mainly includes local snacks such as Zhongshui Dumplings and Bridge Rice Noodles. A bowl costs only one cent, and the cheapest one is only a few cents.

Because on this avenue, you can eat delicious food from all over the country, and the fees are not expensive, more and more people like to come here to eat. Moreover, as the reputation of Shuilu Shenghua Avenue spreads, even the counties and cities around hundreds of kilometers have come to see it to taste the food. Under the effect of gathering, there are crowds everywhere, both day and night, including diners who come here to eat, tourists from other places, and many citizens who are just wandering and leisure, especially young people.

Gao Zhen and several classmates in the same dormitory were in a hot pot restaurant in Section 4, wearing a ceiling fan rotating on his head, while eating hot pot in sweat while drinking cold beer in a big gulp, talking and laughing.

The new city is located south of the 24th degree north latitude and has a standard subtropical monsoon climate. It is extremely hot every summer and the temperature can rise to up to 35 degrees Celsius. Moreover, because of sufficient rainfall, it is close to the river, and the water vapor content in the air is very high, making it extremely humid.

Such a stuffy and humid geographical environment makes the base area particularly fond of Sichuan hot pot originating from the same environment. Although the hot pot is very spicy and the pepper is very numb, you will always sweat profusely after eating the hot pot, but after sweating, it will dispel the moisture in the body, and you will feel relaxed in your body and mind, which is beneficial to your health.

Moreover, this way of eating is full of people and has fun, and there are few people and few people. It is a good communication bridge that is suitable for both work, friendship and love. Therefore, once it is launched, it becomes very popular and gradually becomes a suitable target for both young and old.

Gao Zhen and others, today's meal was particularly special. Before leaving, everyone chose hot pot.

"Brothers, today's meal is a breakup in our dormitory 3109. We should have finished this meal happily and then we go our separate ways. But when we are about to separate from you, I have a lot to say in my heart. I want to say to Fat Lu, the person who stuffed the smelly socks into your mouth during the military training of the freshman, was actually me. At that time, I thought your feet were too smelly, and I had a fight with you again during the day, so I wanted to take revenge, so at night when you were sleeping, put your socks in your mouth; and Liu Ming, fighting with you for the last semester of Julie in the sophomore year, and breaking your head... Although you also bleed my nose, Zhou Dongliang, and the second semester of the sophomore year..."

Taking advantage of the time when everyone was joking, Gao Zhen took beer and poured the glasses to the good brothers in the same dormitory one by one, then raised the glasses, spoke sincerely, and apologized to them. As he spoke, he remembered that everyone lived in the same dormitory for several years, his eyes were red involuntarily, and tears kept surging in his eyes.

"Okay OK! I'm so sorry!" Zhou Dongliang called him and said enthusiastically, "Who doesn't know the bad things you did! Now everyone is about to disperse, and what are they doing! Today is a big day. When we walk out of this hot pot restaurant today, we are no longer students, but have entered society, so we must be happy and no one is allowed to say depressed words!"

After saying that, he picked up the wine glass, drew a circle at everyone, and said, "Everyone has the chance to come together and live in a dormitory. Although there are some bumps and bumps, they all passed. Let's do this glass of wine, all the grudges will be eliminated!"

"Dry!"

"Dry!"

Eight roommates who were in the same dormitory raised their wine glasses and bumped into the middle. The glass hit and made a crisp sound. Most of the beer was poured out, but everyone's faces were filled with smiles from the bottom of their hearts. They picked up the wine glasses and tilted their necks and drank them all.

Even Zhao Zhong and He Yongcai, two roommates who usually don’t drink alcohol, drank all the wine.

After lit up the bottom of the glass and put the wine glass on the table, Zhou Dongliang hiccupped and said, "Gao Zhen, there are only eight people in our dormitory, you are the only one who goes to the research institute. If there are any technical transformation projects in our factory in the future, you should help us say something nice and do it beautifully!"

"Yes, yes, you will be a scientist in the future. Don't pretend not to know each other when you meet again!"

The others also joked, half sincere, half jokingly.

Scientists are one of the most respected professions in this era. Many people have had a dream of a scientist since childhood. Gao Zhenneng was selected by the research institute. Several people in the same dormitory were both happy for him and a little jealous. When they joked with him in a teasing tone, their mood was quite complicated.

Their senior students who graduated this year started from the end of their junior year and were assigned to the following factories for internships based on their respective majors. According to the local regulations, whether they are engaged in technical positions or management positions, college students must undergo three months of grassroots job training and become familiar with grassroots business before they can return to the corresponding position for internship.

The nine-month internship allowed them to go through the business of the factory. Although they could not be mastered properly, they also understood the corresponding process, which would be of great help to their future work.

According to the local scientific research level, it is divided into four levels. The highest level is the exclusive research institute of Commander Guan Fei. There are various research institutes, followed by various universities, and finally factories.

Factory generally only has technical departments, and small technical transformation projects can be completed by themselves, but when encountering large technical transformation tasks, you can only apply for assistance from universities and professional research institutes. This assistance is not free. Depending on the size of the technical transformation project, the university and research institute will also charge different amounts of remuneration after appraisal of them. This is also an additional income from scientific research institutions in addition to fixed salary.

According to the integration of industry, academia and research, in order to timely transform various research results into productivity, each research institute must ensure that one-third of the time must be spent on the grassroots level every year.

However, the main energy of scientific researchers is still on scientific research, so not every unit is willing to spend extra energy to help with technical transformation. Even if they take on the task, those senior researcher-level researchers are unwilling to take action to solve these pediatric-level problems. Most of the time, they send their assistants and researchers to the factory for actual guidance.

The base area management department is helpless in this regard.

Of course, if you have an acquaintance, it will be much better. At least those senior researchers are willing to put down their scientific research, go to the factory to take a look, put forward their opinions, and then assign their researchers to solve the problem. The solutions given will most likely be more attentive.

Others' jokes about Gao Zhen also have this meaning. Although it is a joke, it is a bit sincere.

"Sure, certain!" Gao Zhen agreed modestly, and greeted other roommates one by one.

As the number of empty bottles on the ground increased, everyone was drunk and there was a lack of doors on their mouths, and their words became more and more imaginative. A group of people hugged their backs and whispered to each other. As they spoke in the four years of college life, they seemed to have endless things to say, and some memories that had settled deep into the brain were also revealed, chatting and talking nonstop.

The four years of college have carried their youthful and beautiful and innocent years. Now that they are about to enter society, the innocence in front of them will no longer be. They will become more realistic, more merciful, and more utilitarian. The nostalgia, melancholy, and reluctance for those beautiful memories is becoming more intense, making them not want to stop.

Youth, laughter, tears, I took a seat in the library together, skipped classes together in order to play games, and confessed to the girls I liked under the instigation of my friends, went out together on holidays, and was comforted by my friends after breaking up... In four years, there are so many things that can be recalled. Every interesting news and embarrassing thing will be unforgettable to be erased.

As the topic continued to deepen, their emotions gradually became out of control. Several older men laughed out loud, sometimes hugged their heads and cried, and eventually they were all drunk and unconscious.

...

"Xiao Gao, right? Welcome. I am Deng Rui from the Personnel Department of the Institute of Automation. You came very early. It was only seven o'clock. So, I'll take you in first. There are more than a dozen college students reporting this time. When everyone is here, I will explain to you how..."

A clean, medium-sized middle-aged man, received a notice from the doorman and came out to pick him up. Seeing Gao Zhen with a student look on his face, he smiled and stretched out his hand and said enthusiastically.

"I'm fine." Gao Zhen bowed flatteredly and said lowered his posture.

"That's good. You first register here and get a temporary pass. After you have assigned a job, you will be given a formal work permit and pass for you." Deng Rui took him and asked the guard to check his ID card, a letter of introduction, and made detailed registration. He received a pass and hung it on his chest before passing the door.

"The inspection here is very strict. Those guards are not equipped with real guns, right? They don't laugh. The look of staring at people makes people scary." Gao Zhen deliberately approached the other party and said in a topic.

"Hahahaha, they are like this, just get used to it. After all, we are confidential units here, and most people cannot get in." Deng Rui looked easy to speak and talkative, and took the initiative to introduce him, "Most of the work in the research institute is confidential, the highest is top secret, and the following is confidential and secret. Every staff member working here must sign a confidentiality agreement. If you come into contact with a secret level position, if you want to change jobs, you need to go through three years of detachment period: this means that you cannot leave during this period, and you can only engage in ordinary administrative and logistics affairs in the future until you meet the requirements of the detachment period. If it is confidential, the detachment period will be longer, and it will take five years to detachment. If it is a top secret... Generally speaking, if you can contact this confidential level, it will be impossible to detach again in this life!"

Deng Rui said with a smile, seeing him a little nervous, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you just came in, you must start from the basics, and there are not many secrets to contact. So if you are not satisfied with this job, you still have time to regret it in the first half of a year, so you can ask the Labor Service Department to reschedule the work."

The two of them walked while talking. Gao Zhen saw that the sewer ditch covers on the road were all open. Passing by the side, you could see the dense pipelines below from above. He said curiously: "Is this a dredging or a pipeline renovation?"

He entered the sewer and knew that it was very wide inside, about two meters high and five meters wide, so it was fine to use it as an air raid shelter. In addition to sewage pipes, there were also pipelines that protected communication lines and other lines.

Looking at the lifted lid, there were no traces of sewage next to the wellhead. He guessed that the institute was carrying out pipeline construction and setting up new lines.

"Yes! We are pulling fiber optic lines. Look, the wire as thick as a bowl is the fiber optic trunk line." Deng Rui was very patient and led him to stand at the wellhead, bent down and pointed at a exposed black giant cable, and said, "There are fifty-six thin cables tied into this cable, and each thin cable has fifty-six inner cores. The construction team that pulled the optical cable for us said that the transmission speed of this cable per second is 200 g. You know, a g is 1,024 megabytes, and this optical fiber can transmit 200,000 megabytes per second. It's amazing!"

Gao Zhen opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it.

Of course he knew what m and g are, and he also learned the knowledge related to optical fiber, knowing that it is the future direction of information development.

He was already surprised to hear that the base has begun to lay fiber optic lines, but the transmission rate of this fiber has reached 200 g, which still scared him. When he was studying in school, he felt that the base was much more developed than in China, but when he gradually came into contact with a deeper level, he found that the base was so high that the technology level mastered by the base was beyond his imagination.

He looked up at the towering office building in front of him, feeling awe.
