Chapter 529: Chapter 221: The Top-grade Classical Prose (Part 13)_3
Chief Engineer Seo looked on with some curiosity, glancing at the reception staff.
The reception staff instantly understood and hurriedly approached the Soldier, whispering, "Does Engineer He like to eat while working?"
"No, Engineer He’s brainpower consumption is quite high, she must replenish nutrition at all times, otherwise, she would get nosebleeds, and in severe cases, even faint!"
The Soldier’s tone was somewhat grave.
When he first arrived by He Tiantian’s side, he had once thought that Tiantian loved to eat and that she seemed to be seeking special treatment.
Everyone else couldn’t get enough to eat, yet she could feast on fish, meat, milk, and cakes.
It was only when he saw He Tiantian with a gushing nosebleed, nearly fainting, that the Soldier realized Expert He was almost burning her life away to contribute to the collective, to the country.
Later, the Soldier heard about some of He Tiantian’s past.
In order to obtain information, even if misunderstood or even mocked by others, she would make friends with Soviet experts.
To timely replicate the R-type missiles developed by Factory 3518, Engineer He endured pain, activated her Super Brain, but due to malnutrition and excessive brain use, she fainted for several days.
Such a slender little girl wasn’t striking enemies on the front lines, but her bravery and tenacity were admired even by the Soldiers.
After coming to He Tiantian’s side, the Soldiers witnessed firsthand Tiantian’s contributions to Factory 3518 and even to the country.
All that data that surprised the likes of Chief Engineer Seo and other technical staff, the overwhelming calculations... Tiantian had already made a tremendous contribution to Factory 3518.
She had saved the factory time and manpower. Hearing that the R-type missiles were ready to start production, it wouldn’t be long before Hua Country could produce its own missiles!
In that, there was both the effort of all the workers at Factory 3518 and a part of Tiantian’s achievements.
"Brainpower consumption too great?"
Chief Engineer Seo glanced at the growing pile of manuscript papers on the floor and then at He Tiantian, who was fervently writing at her desk, and he had his suspicions.
Perhaps, Comrade Xiao He really did possess a brain comparable to an electronic computer.
And that 104 computer normally required a lot of manpower to maintain and run.
Thousands of electronic tubes, second-level tubes, if even just a soldering point malfunctioned, it would affect usage.
He Tiantian, though, just needed constant nutrition replenishment, which didn’t seem so outrageous.
Moreover, it appeared that Engineer He, this "Human-shaped Computer," was more low-maintenance than the 104.
Of course, whether Tiantian’s brain function could truly reach the level comparable to a computer still needed validation.
But now, Chief Engineer Seo was no longer as skeptical and resistant as he had been upon first hearing the news.
Chief Engineer Seo could affirm that He Tiantian must be an ultra-intelligent genius, both her right brain and left brain highly developed.
Otherwise, she couldn’t manage to use two different types of thinking to write different content simultaneously.
Just that alone made Tiantian a "Miracle Man".
After over two hours of intense work, He Tiantian calculated all the data and completely copied Mushroom Egg’s entire formulation.
She collapsed into her chair, drained of the strength even to drink milk.
Slowly sucking through a straw, the warm milk slid into her mouth, and He Tiantian started to regain some energy.
She then grabbed a handful of walnuts and stuffed them directly into her mouth.
After walnuts, she ate dried shrimp, then the braised pork and fat intestines that the Soldier had run to the People’s Restaurant to fetch for her...
Chief Engineer Seo and the reception staff watched in amazement; such a skinny little girl had such a huge appetite.
This rationing could match that of two strong young laborers eating with abandon.
Yet, after eating so much, the young girl didn’t feel overfed; on the contrary, she seemed much more spirited.
Chief Engineer Seo felt it was about time to have a proper conversation with He Tiantian.
"...Engineer He, did you see all this from the Soviet experts?"
"Yes! I saw the core formula in Ivan’s notes, but their data is flawed."
"This is the second time I’ve done the calculations, and the results are the same as the first, different from the Soviet data!"
He Tiantian confidently said, "So, the Soviet data must be wrong!"
Chief Engineer Seo: ...That’s some boastful confidence.
But, Chief Engineer Seo rather liked such flamboyant young people. When doing scientific research, one should not be too superstitious.
The "teacher" is indeed authoritative, but even the "teacher" himself cannot guarantee that he is infallible.
In fact, at this time, the calculation team led by Chief Engineer Seo had already calculated it once, and their data didn’t match the Soviet’s either.
They thought there was an error on their side and were preparing for the second round.
Now with He Tiantian, Chief Engineer Seo couldn’t help but wonder: maybe it was indeed the Soviet side that was wrong!
