Chapter 1731

"It's too expensive...Actually, you can just take a commercial airliner..." Wang Chi murmured.

Behind him, the doctoral student Feng Xiaoyi's eyes were shining with novelty, looking up at this beautiful Gulfstream G650 business jet.

Wang Chi's status can be regarded as honorable. A dignified academician, according to his rank, he can enjoy high-speed rail business seats, train soft sleepers, or first-class planes when traveling. It can't be said that he has never seen the world, but he is really good when he takes a private jet. For the first time ever.

Xia Ruofei smiled slightly and said: "This is the company's plane. It's not expensive. As long as it can improve travel efficiency, spending more money is nothing... Academician Wang, please! Let's talk on the plane !"

"Okay! Okay!" Wang Chi said.

Xia Ruofei made an inviting gesture and let Wang Chi to the front. He was half a step behind Wang Chi, and walked towards the gangway of the Taoyuan business jet together.

With a charming smile on his face, a beautiful Chinese-American flight attendant stood by the gangway to greet her.

After stepping into the cabin, Wang Chi was even more dazzled by the eye-catching luxury arrangement.

Wang Chi was pretty good, at least he maintained a certain level of composure.

And his student, Dr. Feng Xiaoyi, is exactly like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

Feng Xiaoyi was originally a migrant worker for scientific research under Wang Chi. With a big boss like Wang Chi, his daily life is quite good, and the project funds are relatively abundant. When the project is going well, the boss will also give them bonuses or something. , compared to the average doctoral students, he is definitely not hard-working.

But even if he went to academic conferences with his tutors before, he always had to squeeze economy class or second-class high-speed rail seats. How could he have enjoyed such a luxurious private jet?

After Feng Xiaoyi got on the plane, he didn't know where to put his hands. Under the dreamy atmosphere lights on the plane, the handmade leather seats, smooth walnut wood trim, soft Italian pure wool carpet and other facilities all appear to be of higher grade. I really can't afford it!

After Xia Ruofei guided Wang Chi to his seat, he also noticed Feng Xiaoyi's predicament, and said with a smile, "Dr. Feng, put your luggage away first!"

Feng Xiaoyi woke up like a dream, and quickly said: "Oh! Okay! Okay!"

Xia Ruofei instructed Feng Xiaoyi to put both of their suitcases into the luggage compartment,

Then he arranged another seat for Feng Xiaoyi near the front cabin.

Mu Sheng and the others also boarded the plane, and Wang Chi and Feng Xiaoyi discovered that none of the people in this group had luggage, and basically they all took the plane empty-handed, and Xia Ruofei and the two beautiful girls beside him were the only ones with them. Carry a small bag.

Xia Ruofei quickly arranged seats for everyone.

The four air seats in the middle of the cabin were reserved for himself, along with Song Wei, Ling Qingxue and Wang Chi.

Mu Sheng and the others are not interested in dealing with academicians in the secular world. Speaking of which, everyone is completely from two worlds. If it weren't for this incident, there would be no intersection at all.

So they all happily sat in the seats in the front cabin, looking at this current almost the most advanced business jet.

And Chen Xuan sat on the sofa diagonally opposite to Xia Ruofei and others - there is also a seat belt setting here, and it is also convenient to communicate with Wang Chi when necessary.

Xia Ruofei sat down next to Wang Chi, opposite to them was a pair of sisters, Song Wei and Ling Qingxue.

After all the guests boarded the plane, the flight attendant checked and confirmed with Xia Ruofei again, then closed and locked the cabin door, and then went to the cockpit to report to the captain.

Soon, the crew got permission from the tower to taxi - they had said in advance that they had applied for the route, and they were ready on time for the scheduled departure time, so everything went very smoothly.

Basically, just after everyone sat down, the plane was pushed out. When the nose of the plane was facing north, the trolley disengaged and began to taxi slowly.

Wang Chi subconsciously raised his hand and looked at his watch, it was nine fifty-five.

It took about 20 minutes from when he got off the car at the business jet building to when the plane started taxiing, including a dozen personal security checks, and the time to walk through a passage before boarding the plane.

At ten o'clock sharp, the Taoyuan business jet, which was waiting at the runway threshold, was allowed to enter the runway to take off after an Airbus A320 landed and left the runway.

Captain Liu An steered the plane to make a steady turn at the end of the runway. After aligning with the runway, they had already done the pre-take-off inspection and directly pushed the accelerator to the take-off thrust.

The sound of Taoyuan's engine suddenly increased a lot, and the speed also increased suddenly, and it began to taxi at high speed on the runway.

This runway, which can meet the take-off and landing of heavy aircraft such as Boeing 787 Dreamliner, is more than enough for Taoyuan.

After taxiing at high speed to almost half the length of the runway, the wheel rotation speed VR has been reached.

Captain Liu An gently pulled the joystick back, and the plane leaped lightly and rushed into the clear blue sky.

As the plane continued to climb, Wang Chi looked at the rapidly shrinking buildings on the ground outside the porthole, and he couldn't help feeling secretly - taking a business jet did save a lot of time, at least it could save hours of waiting at the airport, and the time was also free a lot of.

But the cost is naturally much higher. If time is money, then the time saved is really not cheap.

Of course, Wang Chi also knows that the values ​​​​of the rich must be different. If it is all about economic accounts, there will not be so many rich people buying private jets and private yachts. After all, even if these big toys are stationary , the daily maintenance costs are not affordable by ordinary people.

The plane climbed very fast and entered the cruising altitude after a while, and the captain also turned off the seat belt indicator in time.

Two flight attendants began to provide fruit, drinks, wine and snacks to everyone.

Xia Ruofei unbuttoned her seat belt, stood up and said with a smile: "Everyone can walk around and visit at will, and you can go to the cockpit if you want, but you have to come one by one and enter in an orderly manner!"

Mu Sheng, Liu Mansha and the others are really interested in the cockpit of the plane. After all, the performance of the plane is actually quite close to that of the flying boat except that the speed is a little slower. Moreover, the plane does not need the slightest bit of aura. They were naturally very curious that the means of the cultivation world could make such a heavy "iron bump" fly.

Besides Mu Sheng and Liu Mansha, Feng Xiaoyi also really wanted to visit the cockpit, but he was a step too late, so he stood outside the cabin door and waited.

In fact, Mu Sheng and Liu Mansha couldn't see the reason at all. Facing the densely packed instruments and display screens in the cockpit, the two middle-stage Golden Core monks couldn't help but feel a little dizzy.

After walking around for a while, Mu Sheng and Liu Mansha left the cockpit, while Feng Xiaoyi, who had been waiting outside, couldn't wait to walk in.

Xia Ruofei smiled and said to Wang Chi: "Academician Wang, don't you want to visit?"

Wang Chi said with a smile: "Let them young people watch it! I'm not very interested in these..."

At this time, Ling Qingxue, who was sitting opposite, couldn't help asking: "Academician Wang, everyone said that the calculation speed of Sunway-TaihuLight is among the best in the world. How fast is this supercomputer?"

Ling Qingxue's question is a bit of a noob, but Wang Chi is obviously not the first to face such a problem, he smiled slightly and said: "Girl, our Shenwei-Light of Taihu Lake is the world's first computer with a computing speed exceeding 1 billion A supercomputer with a peak computing speed of 1.254 trillion times per second, what is this equivalent to? Intuitively speaking, the calculation amount per minute of Sunway-Light of Taihu Lake requires 7.2 billion people in the world A calculator, counting for 32 years without a break."

Wang Chi's metaphor may not be very accurate, but it is indeed quite intuitive.

After hearing this, Ling Qingxue couldn't help taking a breath, and exclaimed: "This is too powerful!"

The direct numbers sometimes have no shocking effect. The calculation speed of Sunway-Light of Taihu Lake is 1 billion billion times per second or 2 billion times per second. For those who don't understand these things, it seems that there is no difference.

However, with the addition of an image comparison, all human beings were dispatched together, each with a calculator, and calculated continuously for 32 years, and the sense of the picture came out at once.

And this is only equivalent to the calculation amount of Sunway-TaihuLight for one minute, the huge difference immediately brings out the awesomeness of this supercomputer.

Wang Chi had obviously faced similar problems many times, so he gave such a vivid answer almost without thinking.

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "Thanks to Academician Wang this time, otherwise we would not be able to coordinate such good resources!"

Wang Chi smiled and said: "Mr. Xia, you don't have to be polite, I can only say that you are all lucky, even I didn't expect it to be so smooth!"

"It's still your old face!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.

Wang Chi asked again with concern: "By the way, have you debugged all the algorithm programs? Do you need me to go through it for you again? If there is a problem with the algorithm, it will be a waste of time."

Xia Ruofei was full of confidence in the code he and Chen Xuan checked together. He said with a smile: "Thank you, Academician Wang, for your concern. There should be no problem with the algorithm. We have debugged it several times in the simulation environment. At least there are no obvious bugs. The probability of error It won't be very high."

Wang Chi nodded and said, "That's good! That's good! After all, the time of Shenwei-Light of Taihu Lake is more precious. It would be a pity to waste it because of algorithm problems."

"I believe not!" Xia Ruofei smiled, and then he asked again, "By the way, Academician Wang, our project has stricter requirements for confidentiality this time. I don't know about the new Wu Chao Computing Center..."

Wang Chi said with a smile: "Don't worry about this! The supercomputing center has strict confidentiality discipline, and their staff will not touch your calculation data. You can copy the final result and delete it completely. This After Taiwan's supercomputer was put into use, it has successively simulated and calculated important projects in aerospace, meteorology, drug screening and other fields, including the accurate simulation of the return path of 'Tiangong-1'. These projects are also top-secret and new So far, there has been no leakage of secrets in the Wu Chao Computing Center!"

Xia Ruofei felt relieved when he heard the words.

At the same time, after hearing the projects introduced by Wang Chi, he became more confident in cracking the secret of the token.

Take the calculation of the return path of "Tiangong-1" as an example, which involves countless variables. Accurately simulating the return path requires a very large amount of computation, but Sunway-TaihuLight can easily complete it, which is enough to prove its performance powerful.

Wang Chi chatted with Xia Ruofei about some things in the field of supercomputer applications.

After all, the old man had limited energy. After chatting for a while, he leaned on the back of the extremely wrapped seat and closed his eyes to doze off. Xia Ruofei simply got up and sat next to Chen Xuan, took out the laptop, and the two continued to check the code of the algorithm.

In fact, this algorithm program has been verified several times. Xia Ruofei and Chen Xuan can't find any bugs in the inspection now, it's just to pass the time.

At around 11:30, the business jet Taoyuan landed steadily on the runway of Xinwu Airport.

On Xinwu's side, it was raining lightly and the clouds were thick.

During the approach phase, the plane was slightly turbulent in the airflow, but Liu An's crew flew at a very high level, and managed the plane to pass through the clouds smoothly, and then landed smoothly.

The runway is a bit slippery, but the length of the runway is more than enough for a small aircraft like the Gulfstream G650, so the crew has no pressure, and they normally use reverse thrust and automatic braking. down, and off the runway, onto the taxiway.

After the plane stopped at the parking stand next to the business jet building, the flight attendant immediately opened the door and lowered the gangway, and then took Xia Ruofei and others to the eaves seven or eight meters away with umbrellas.

Xia Ruofei waved goodbye to the crew, and then, led by the staff, led everyone through the passage of the business jet building and out of the airport.

Outside, a pale yellow Coaster has parked on the side of the road, and the driver is holding a sign with Xia Ruofei's name on it.

This is Xia Ruofei's pick-up and drop-off service when he booked the hotel. After all, he doesn't know how far the hotel is from the airport, and there are so many of them, it must be inconvenient to take a taxi.

After confirming the identity of the guests, the driver welcomed everyone into the car, and then the Coster drove out of the airport and headed towards the Xinwu Hotel.

Generally, a hotel named after a local place name is basically a hotel with the best local conditions.

Xinwu Hotel is no exception.

This is a five-star hotel, and it has only been renovated for about two years, and all the facilities are very new.

Xia Ruofei took everyone to check-in according to the room arranged in advance, and then said: "Everyone go back to the room to put your luggage, take a rest, and meet in the hotel lobby in half an hour. Let's have lunch first!"
