Chapter 206 204. This battle! (Thanks to the leader of "Foxes don't eat pears"!)
At the Taimiao night, with the end of the party, the 100-day countdown sign of the Yanjing Olympic Games officially completed the minute and second hands, and became "99 days", officially announcing the Olympic Games' footsteps...
is getting closer.
May 20th.
Olympic Directors Office.
The atmosphere is oppressive and heavy.
Including Xu Xin, no one spoke.
They were all waiting for Zhang Yimou and Wei Lanfang to come back from the organizing committee.
"Poof..."
Xu Xin, who has been up all night, is now so tired that he can only rely on red bull and smoke to cheer up his spirits, his eyes are red.
The same goes for most of the others.
finally.
The door of the conference room was pushed open.
Everyone turned their heads subconsciously, and saw Zhang Yimou and Wei Lanfang, whose eyes were also red and swollen from staying up all night, walked in.
"..."
"..."
No one spoke, just followed the two of them, and waited until Zhang Yimou came to the position of chief director...
Looking around, his hoarse voice sounded:
"Then I'll be straight."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Now, something that boosts everyone's morale is very much needed!...That is us, our opening ceremony. The leader didn't say anything extra, and he knows how much pressure we are under. So, I have been giving me, Decompression for our director team and all our staff. Tell us to be calm, don't be impatient, don't be anxious. These are the exact words of the leader...but for me, I only ask for one point."
He raised a finger and pointed to the big bright red characters behind him:
"The interests of the motherland are above all else!"
Pointing to the line that represents the belief of everyone moving forward, he said word by word:
"Compared to the world, our people need us more now! I will not think about what we will face after failure, nor will I think about anything that cannot be done, impossible, or troublesome... I only ask for a little! That is…"
"Boom!"
His fist hit the conference table in front of him.
It was the first time that Zhang Yimou showed such a restrained temper so outwardly, and Zhang Yimou's eyes showed ferocity for the first time:
"Only succeed, not fail!"
…
Late June.
Yanjing began to enter the rainy season.
It was nothing at first. When building the LED screen, the problem of rainwater had been fully considered, so Xu Xin, who is already one of the main leaders of the LED screen project, did not panic.
However, the rain this year...
It seems a little different.
Frequent and intensive.
Yanjing Meteorological Observatory has repeatedly issued rainstorm warnings.
Anyone who has done outdoor performances knows that the biggest enemy of outdoor activities is the weather.
Especially after the Yanjing Meteorological Observatory sent the latest weather forecast in early July, the pressure of "the sky is not beautiful" was accompanied by the prediction that "this rainy season may be the biggest in Yanjing in fifty years" , turned into a huge cloud, shrouded in everyone's heart.
Bird's Nest Management Office, Director's group temporary meeting room.
Because the performers next door were waiting for the rehearsal after the rain stopped, the environment of the entire large conference room seemed very noisy and noisy.
You Shuangmin, the second in command of the Olympic Organizing Committee, held an emergency liaison meeting regarding the weather conditions, anxious to hold a meeting of all directors responsible for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games to discuss.
And all the directors arrived, except Xu Xin.
Seeing this, Zhang Yimou frowned:
"Where's Xiao Xu?"
"The injection is gone."
Wei Lanfang quickly said:
"I had a fever of 39 degrees in the morning. I couldn't take it anymore. I went to the clinic for an injection. I just called and I'm already rushing here."
"...Okay, then leader, shall we start first?"
Hearing what Zhang Yimou said, You Shuangmin nodded:
"Well, let's talk about it. The purpose of everyone's recruitment today is very simple. I believe many people have seen the report issued by the comrades of the meteorological department... To be honest, the situation is very serious, comrades."
There is also a hint of worry between his brows:
"I heard that in the past few days, our large-scale projection equipment has been flooded many times? What about the LED screen? How is it performing? Why is the failure rate getting higher and higher? Yesterday I heard that the lifting table of the printing module cannot be lifted? Why? What? Has it been resolved now? What about the fou? I saw the photos sent by our staff. Why are there so many fou in 2008 that are not lit? What is the progress of the ceremony table?... Is there any problem with the torch and the main torch? The scroll was drawn two days ago Is the matter of the moving track stuck?"
As soon as these words came out, you knew that You Shuangmin had a very clear grasp of the details of the various plans for the Olympic Games. He was not here to ask for accountability, but to actually discuss them.
And these problems are indeed all directed at the core.
As soon as the voice fell, and the others hadn't spoken, suddenly, the door opened.
With a fever-reducing sticker on his head, Xu Xin, holding a bottle with one hand, walked in with Yang Mi.
After seeing the people in the room, he hurriedly said:
"Sorry, sorry, leaders, I'm late."
His voice was equally hoarse, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was pale.
While saying apologetic words, he looked around and said:
"Director Sha, we have to change places. Give me that wall, and I'll hang the bottle."
Sha Xiaofeng got up quickly, and when Xu Xin came here, he continued to hold the hanging bottle, while Yang Mi held the tape and hook in his hand, and stuck the hook on the wall with his arms raised.
But the adhesive backing of a hook is definitely not enough to fix it. She quickly applied three or four layers of tape, and then helped Xu Xin hang the water bottle upside down.
It is not new for the director team to see Yang Mi.
It's just that looking at the girl with red eyes, I feel a little uncomfortable.
Yang Mi didn't say much, after hanging up the bottle, she quickly bowed, walked out of the meeting room, and helped close the door.
After finishing everything, Xu Xin, who had a needle in his hand, looked at Zhang Yimou.
Zhang Yimou and You Shuangmin said:
"Leader, Xiao Xu is in charge of the LED section."
You Shuangmin nodded and asked:
"How is your body?"
"It's all right, don't worry."
Xu Xin said insincere words.
You Shuangmin nodded:
"Then let's talk about the LED sector first. What problems are LEDs facing now? What is the solution? What is the backup plan?"
Xu Xin barely thought about it, so he said directly:
"Basically there is no problem."
"..."
You Shuangmin frowned:
"Are you sure? Xiao Xu, this is not an explanation meeting, what I want is the real situation."
But Xu Xin nodded:
"Well, it's like this, leader. First of all, the failure rate of the LED screens in the venue is always controlled below 15%. And this failure rate is not the failure of the machine itself, but the frequent occurrence of joints and interfaces. The main cause of the accident is trampling, poor contact of the interface caused by many people trampling, vibration, and the reason for the deformation of the link pin.
This is based on the conclusion of the test site at Shenmu Stadium. So when installing the LED screen here, this problem has been taken into account. We adopted a dual backup plan, one screen, and three sets of wires. Now the first set of lines is used, and the failure rate of the first set of lines increases with the extension of the pedaling time. However, the test at the Shenmu site has proved that the failure rate can be reduced to a very low level after a complete line replacement.
The trampling on the big screen in our whole link is not high except for the peace dove link, so this failure rate can basically be ruled out after replacing the entire set of circuits. In the part of the precipitation test, when in Shenmu, the team simulated the heavy rain and the moisture-proof and rain-proof measures after the heavy rain many times. All waterproofed.
The highest record in Shenmu, 16 fire trucks rotate in groups of eight, simulating the continuous rainstorm environment, and the performance of the LED screens is very good. Moreover, we have also made a restart plan. Once a black screen appears, the control module will restart as soon as possible. The limit of the drainage plan is 200MM in a single hour and 400MM in a single day.
According to the news from the Meteorological Bureau, although this is the once-in-50-year rainy season in Yanjing, the maximum rainfall and continuous rainfall are still a long way from the limit of the drainage system. Therefore, as far as the current LED screen is concerned, in addition to delaying the progress of the rehearsal, we try our best to ensure that there will be no hardware, environmental, or use problems.
At the same time, we also have two complete backup plans, which are divided into two groups, A and B. That is to say, our backup plan is A: after the rehearsal is over, the whole set of lines will be replaced, and more than 400 engineers and construction workers will carry out this project, the total replacement time is expected to be 8 to 12 hours.
B: On the basis of plan A, the software is remotely restarted, and the restart time has been controlled within 6 seconds. This plan is used as a double insurance in front of the new line with shock absorption treatment.
So, although the failure rate of LED displays is increasing in a straight line... even, my prediction is that as the rehearsal progresses, the LED failure rate is as high as 40% due to the line interface deformation problem. But on the whole, it will not affect the core of the entire Olympic opening ceremony, which adopts the "picture scroll" as the core concept throughout.
Leaders, please rest assured that at present, 160 members of the LED work planning team are in their posts, and we will try our best to ensure that there will be no problems in this link! It will definitely not disappoint the expectations of the people! "
Although his voice was hoarse, Xu Xin's words were powerful and full of confidence.
You Shuangmin was very surprised when he heard this.
But after the surprise, a touch of joy gushed out of his eyes.
"Good, good, good! Good!"
The feeling that a huge stone was suddenly removed from his heart made him unconsciously breathe a sigh of relief:
"This news is good... As long as there is no problem with the core thing, then... the rest is easy to talk about, right? Yimou."
"Um."
Zhang Yimou nodded:
"It is true that all the serious problems now are actually insignificant compared with LED screens. Including lighting, projections, and link arrangements. Therefore, the overall situation is good, but..."
Pointing to Xu Xin:
“Their workload is very heavy and the intensity is also very high. They need to communicate with the manufacturer about the screen maintenance for the rehearsal effect...the factory manager is almost crying.”
"The rainbow can only be seen after the storm..."
After You Shuangmin finished speaking, he glanced at Xu Xin's sickly appearance, and nodded:
"What's the next question? What's the biggest problem you're facing right now?"
"Fou, fou, if the LED lights are of the current quality...then this link may be abolished. So we are also designing a second solution, which is to continue this link by lighting up the lights...but after all It's a backup plan, mainly the quality of the LED lights..."
The director who hit the pot and sang began to narrate.
Xu Xin yawned quietly, then half-closed his eyes.
He caught a cold after a rain.
The sling of "Big Paper" had a problem in the rain, and it could not form an inclined angle to pour rainwater. A lot of rainwater has accumulated.
As a last resort, everyone used poles to prop up the paper in an arc.
But the rainwater stored inside cannot be completely poured down.
Water falls in more than 100 meters of paper, and the impact can easily damage the screen.
So it can only be a little bit like urine.
He was originally wearing a raincoat, but he was so worried about the screen that he didn't care about it at all. In order to control the flow rate, he simply came to the head of the pole to control the angle.
Washed by water, drenched in rain, and anxious to get angry because of the heavy rain these days... I started to have a fever all of a sudden.
At first I took medicine, but today I couldn’t stand it any longer, so I finally got an injection.
Before finishing this bottle, I was called back to the meeting again.
In addition to staying up all night last night, I really couldn't bear it.
But he couldn't sleep either.
Don't look at the leader's guarantee, but behind the guarantee is the result of the day and night hard work of more than a hundred people under him. For this guarantee, he can't easily leave his post even if he gritted his teeth.
In the car just now, he and his girlfriend were arguing over this matter.
For a while, he was extremely exhausted.
While in this daze, the door of the conference room was knocked again.
Yang Mi pushed open the door, holding a medicine bottle in her hand, and said politely:
"Sorry to bother you."
Then he quickly walked behind Xu Xin, whose head was drooping, and quietly took away the empty medicine bottle that had just finished dripping, inserted the dripping tube into the new medicine bottle in a strange way, and ran out quickly .
Looking at the time on the watch, she squatted in the corridor, lowered the brim of her hat, and sent Sun Ting a message:
"Is the porridge ready?"
"Immediately, sister, Auntie said it will be ready soon."
"Well, bring it over when it's done."
"clear."
At this time, Wei Lanfang came over, holding a small mazak in his hand:
"Give."
"...Thank you, Miss Wei."
Yang Mi thanked her, but seeing that she was not sitting, she hurriedly said:
"You can just sit, I'll just squat."
"It's okay, just sit down."
After forcing the Mazza to her, Wei Lanfang squatted beside her and asked:
"What did the doctor say? Viral infection?"
"It's not... just getting angry, tonsils are inflamed."
Yang Mi's voice was a little deep.
"Let's get an anti-inflammatory injection first, and then... I'll see when he's free and take him to a Chinese medicine hospital."
"Well... don't worry, it will be fine after this period."
Yang Mi nodded:
"Well... I'm not in a hurry. It's okay, it's just a sore throat, it's not a big deal..."
If he hadn't seen her furtively rubbing her eyes, Wei Lanfang might have believed it.
After thinking about it, she decided to have a fun chat.
At least let this girl not get angry and get sick.
Then asked:
"Aren't you busy this year?"
"Originally there were a lot of movie appointments... But I saw that he was so busy, so I turned them all down. I wanted to take care of him... Who knew that he lived here every day. But seeing how busy he is, I definitely can't leave, I just accepted a drama... It was supposed to start in May, but the subject matter was a bit joyous, so it was stopped. It's not suitable."
"Um…"
Wei Lanfang nodded:
"Standing. After the opening of the Olympic Games, everything will be fine. During this period of time, everyone is rehearsing. It's not like you didn't miss it just now. In this bird's nest, there are 30,000 to 40,000 people. It's the last hammer, and there are less than 40 days left. After the busy work, everyone can take a good rest...Have you made any plans with Xiaoxu? Where are you going to play?"
"Well…"
Right now, I really need such a chat to calm down the pain in my heart.
Yang Mi thought for a while and said:
"I want to go to Thailand."
"…ah?"
Wei Lanfang looked really surprised.
Today's "Xinmatai" is no longer the "high-end" tourist route that became popular a few years ago.
On the contrary, the price is very affordable.
Especially after Thailand announced that citizens of the Celestial Dynasty can apply for visa on arrival, it immediately became a popular country for tourism.
but…
It’s not that I don’t have money, why go to those places?
Wei Lanfang has been there, so she knows... no matter what Bali or Bangkok, the people there are almost assimilated by Chinese.
What's more, before I went, I was quite yearning for exotic customs. But after going...
Wei Lanfang felt that he would never go to Thailand in his life.
So I couldn't help but ask:
"Why do you go there? Bali? Bali is actually quite broken. Really, don't trust the photos, I don't think it's really good there. And I especially like to steal money from Chinese tourists. Go to Europe, or Where is it, how nice is a place with a good view?"
But Yang Mi shook her head and said:
"Not to play there, I want to take...Xu Xin to worship Buddha."
"Well…"
Wei Lanfang was stunned for a moment, and asked:
"Do you believe in Buddhism?"
"Well. My family believes it... But he doesn't believe it, and it's not that he doesn't believe it. When I said I took him to Thailand, he said what I am... monks from other places like to chant scriptures and so on."
"...ha~"
Wei Lanfang couldn't help laughing out loud:
"It is indeed like what Xiao Xu said... then change it."
"Actually, worshiping Buddha is also secondary."
Yang Mi still refused:
"I mainly want to take him to do fortune-telling."
"..."
Wei Lanfang couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth.
What exactly do you want to do?
"Sister Wei, do you know the White Dragon King?"
Seeing her ridiculous expression, Yang Mi asked directly.
Wei Lanfang shook his head:
"I don't know, River God?"
"No, it's a person... The fortune teller is very accurate. It is said that most of the people in Hong Kong have visited him."
"Well…"
Although I know that Hong Kong people are superstitious, Wei Lanfang, as an atheist, still can't accept these words from Yang Mi.
Fortune-telling abroad?
Isn’t there big fairies everywhere in China?
Then the girl whispered:
"I want to ask him to do the math for us."
"Marriage?"
"That's not it... I want the White Dragon King to figure out for us when is the right time to get married and when is the right time to have children."
"Yeah, you... are you two engaged?"
"No ah."
"???"
Yang Mi, whose eyes were still a little red, also blushed now:
"But... isn't it just a matter of time. So I want him to figure out when is the best time to get married and when is the best time to have children. It would be even better if he could be given a name or something. Anyway... so many people It must be very effective to find him. So... I want to take him to have a look."
"What did Xiao Xu say?"
"he?"
It’s okay not to mention this, but when this is mentioned, the redness on the girl’s face becomes speechless:
"As soon as I mentioned it, he asked me to go to the Tianqiao, what did you say... Wouldn't it be good for you to take twenty yuan to Da Xian'er? Do you have to run that far?"
"..."
Wei Lanfang wanted to have fun, but didn't dare.
Because she could see that this girl seemed quite religious.
But the problem is that the more pious she is, the more Wei Lanfang can think of Xiao Xu's inconspicuous virtue.
I was talking about the rain with everyone two days ago, and others said that I would like to ask Lord Dragon to take away the supernatural powers, but Xiao Xu directly said, "If I have that time, I might as well dig a drainage ditch"...
However, Wei Lanfang was obviously curious about this kind of nagging.
She also waited until after the Olympics to marry her boyfriend.
So I couldn't help but ask:
"Who did you listen to say, this what... the White Dragon King is so accurate?"
"That's right. He's right. You know Zhang Guorong, right? It's said that before he died, he wanted to see the White Dragon King, but the White Dragon King simply didn't see him. And Liu Jialing said that she and Liang Chaowei went to meet Bai Dragon King, but White Dragon King talks to Liang Chaowei, but he doesn't say anything to Liu Jialing..."
"Oh my god, so mysterious?"
"Yeah...and also, it is said..."
In the corridor, Yang Mi began to gossip with Wei Lanfang about those fanciful but mysterious stories.
In the conference room, all directors' meetings were also in full swing.
This meeting lasted until noon.
Halfway through, Yang Mi went in and pulled out the needle once.
When Xu Xin came out again, his girlfriend had already held a can of millet porridge made by her mother herself.
Xiaomi still belongs to Shenmu.
Xu Xin really didn’t have much appetite, but he couldn’t hold back the persuasion of his girlfriend. In the end, when Sun Ting, who was deliberately avoiding him, slipped away, he and Yang Mi sat in the auditorium under the podium of the future director of the Bird’s Nest, and began to eat the meal.
Yang Mi is no longer curious about the bird's nest.
Although it is a bit of a violation of the confidentiality regulations to say it... But it is true that she has already guessed the process and links of the Olympic Games to a good degree.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s the LEDs in the venue or the two huge rollers.
She is even clear about some link transitions.
So I don’t care at all, I just use chopsticks to help my boyfriend take out the diced green peppers in the meat bun.
Sun Ting bought 4 Roujiamo.
Two are pure meat, and two are with green peppers added.
The green pepper was added for myself, because when I bought it, I specifically told Sun Ting not to add chili to Xu Xin's.
Cold, sore throat, can not eat these spicy things.
But... Maybe he was tired of eating in the cafeteria for half a month. The bowl of millet porridge his mother cooked was especially suitable for his appetite.
After eating the two Roujiamo, it didn’t even happen.
Yang Mi saw his thin cheekbones sunken, and knew that he must not eat on time.
Hungry and full.
Since you like to eat... then eat it.
So I started picking the green peppers inside.
Xu Xin, on the other hand, held the thermos cup with half of the chrysanthemum tea left in his hand, staring at the stadium under the bird's nest in a daze.
And Yang Mi was muttering in her heart why this shop is so honest, other people’s chilis are cut up and put in it, when your chili is crushed like tea leaves, Xu Xin suddenly said:
"sorry."
"…ah?"
Yang Mi was taken aback.
"I didn't mean to quarrel with you just now... But if I'm not here at the meeting, it's really impossible not to give everyone confidence. Although I don't sound as important as this, but... everyone is under a lot of pressure at this time, you understand? We value What matters is not the good news, but how to deal with the bad news. So... I have to say something good, so that everyone can rest assured..."
"..."
Looking at the empty eyes, looking at the boyfriend below, Yang Mi thought for a while, and suddenly said "viciously":
"I will forgive you this time... Next time you dare to kill me... I raped you!"
"..."
Xu Xin ignored the threats in her words.
Continuing to stare at the rainy field, he said to himself:
"This is a war, understand?"
"..."
"In the past, I might not have given it such an important meaning. Because of itself, the Olympic Games has great significance to us. If it is raised to the level of war, it will be meaningless and will only add pressure to the big guys. things. There's no need to..."
Hearing this, Yang Mi thought for a while and said in a low voice:
"But the meaning is different now, right? From the Spring Festival, to before..."
"right."
Xu Xin nodded:
"It became an urgent need that we need for here..."
He pointed to a piece of hot soil under his feet:
"We need to use our efforts to give everyone a sense of confidence when they are in a state of confusion. A shot in the arm! So... now, it is a war. It is not too much to say that the war is a gamble on the fate of the country. We cannot lose! Can't be defeated! Because all the efforts of the predecessors are for the final step we are about to take now."
"..."
"If it fails...huh."
Suddenly, Xu Xin smiled:
"Let me tell you the truth. In the conference room just now, I made a promise to the leader in person. I issued a military order. I said leader, you can rest assured that nothing will go wrong, and you will never fail! ... But now we are talking here, if What a failure... I don't know what Director Zhang was thinking, but guess what my first thought was?"
"EMMMMM... slip?"
She tilted her head, looked at her boyfriend curiously, and handed over the Roujiamo that had finally picked out the minced chili peppers in her hand.
Then he took the trouble to pick up the second one.
Xu Xin nodded:
"Hmm... still remember the time when we first fell in love and went camping in Baihe?"
"I remember, it was very exciting."
"...?"
Looking at her boyfriend who turned his head and looked puzzled, Yang Mi blinked...
"Huh?...Isn't that what you're talking about? There was someone next door to us that night, so I put it in your sleeping bag..."
"What I mean is that you said that you would go to Alaska to buy land and live a rural life when you have money. If it really fails this time, I plan to take you to Alaska to live in seclusion... Who talked to you about this?"
Xu Xin was speechless.
Yang Mi was also a little embarrassed:
"That's it... I just said casually at the time... There are bears in that place, how scary."
"..."
Hearing this, the corners of Xu Xin's eyes twitched violently.
A word came to the throat.
I want to ask her if she wants to leave if she fails, will she follow her.
But the words came to his lips, and he swallowed them back.
He took a hard bite of the Roujiamo and muttered:
"We will succeed! I am not willing to go to Alaska to be a bear dung... This battle must be won!"
While thanking the two lords at the beginning of the chapter, I also want to thank the "nickname cannot be empty" leader who can only be thanked when the chapter is released tomorrow! He Dehe Neng, receiving such great love... At present, I owe three shifts, and the account will be settled before the end of the month! Never break your promise! As for why this plot progressed so fast, I ignored the reason for several months at once... Well, everyone understands.
