"You can order whatever you want to eat later. You're welcome." Zhang Xiaolong greeted the two of them to the staff restaurant.

The staff restaurant on the second floor of Building 6 is very different from the usual corporate staff canteens. The restaurant is still in a simple style dominated by log colors. In addition to the buffet-style corridor, there are also

The meal pick-up window for "All-In-One", "Chinese Little Chef", "Global Cuisine" and other cuisines.

Of the several company restaurants that Lu Zhou had tasted, this one impressed him the most. If he wanted to count another one, it would be the 163 canteen.

"After all, it is the pig raised by Mr. Ding himself."

"Lucas." Zhang Xiaolong found his friend in the restaurant.

"Let me introduce to you, Luke, Lu Zhou, the kid I just met today. This is his girlfriend Xiaoye."

Zhang Xiaolong introduced Lu Zhou to each other.

"Lu Zhou?"

Zhang Xiaolong also ignored the other party's question, "Lucas, Lu Ming. Bookworm, just came back from studying at MIT."

Lu Zhou was stunned for a moment after hearing this. This was too much of a coincidence. Lu Ming was the student introduced by Dean Zhang Wenxing, and Lu Zhou came to tit today because he made an appointment to meet him here.

"Hello, senior brother. What a coincidence. I didn't expect that the reason you made an appointment at tit was because you wanted to meet Allen."

"Oh? You two know each other? Sit down." Zhang Xiaolong asked as he took his seat. Lu Zhou also sat down side by side with Ye Qingchen.

"We know each other. Junior brother, Dean Zhang introduced us to each other some time ago."

"What about you two, senior brother?" Lu Zhou asked with a smile.

"I interned under Allen for a period of time when I was a graduate student. I have kept in touch with him ever since. Didn't you send me a document two days ago explaining a certain system you were going to build? Why don't you come back and ask for advice before we meet today?

Call me Mr. Allen, so you don’t have to reveal your secret later, haha." Lu Ming said with a smile.

Zhang Xiaolong listened to the conversation between the two and gave Lu Zhou a meaningful look. "Lucas, the questions you just asked in the office are all Luke's ideas?"

Lu Ming nodded, "Yes. Don't worry, junior brother, Allen and I are just discussing ideas, and the contents of your document have not been disclosed."

"How should I put it? It's a very interesting idea. Lu Ming gave me a few words, saying that a friend recently wanted to create a fusion of relational and non-relational databases. After hearing this, I was very interested.

As the complexity of the traditional relational database increases, consistency, alignment and availability are a big challenge.

Of course, it will be quite complicated to realize this idea, especially in cross-regional situations.

Some of our internal backend data storage solutions currently use the quorum/nwr mechanism."

Zhang Xiaolong took over the topic, and he did not hide his clumsiness at all. He even openly stated the internal mechanism used.

The reason is simple and clear. It is nothing more than exchanging and colliding ideas with each other. Mentioning the names of several algorithms and mechanisms does not matter. Even if it is to "plagiarize" and learn from others, it will inevitably take a lot of time to implement.

"Allen, you dare to say anything." Lu Zhou smiled and shook his head.

"Originally, these things are not secrets. You can find the prototype of the paper by searching casually. It's one thing to know it, and it's another thing to make it."

When Lu Zhou heard this, he naturally couldn't hide it.

Anyway, in addition to the documents given to Lu Ming, Lu Zhou also had a lot of stuff hidden in his mind.

For example, Google uses the megastore in its own application engine. The technical white paper of this solution has not yet been released. In the previous life, Zhang Xiaolong's team completed the memory cloud design based on this paper and combined with paxos.

Now, chatting about irrelevant details can actually inspire each other's ideas.

"Brother, let's talk about my opinions on the application of paxos in this aspect." Lu Zhou said to Lu Ming.

Lu Ming was happy when he heard this, "Junior brother, let me tell you the truth. It can definitely be done, but as for the specific details, to be honest, you were very vague in it. For example, you mentioned the 'forced agreement to be written'

Implementation process, then the question comes, how to optimize writing? How to determine which proposal is successfully written? How to solve the livelock problem? "

Lu Ming's words hit the mark, which made Lu Zhou feel embarrassed. He thought to himself, "If I knew, why would I still deceive you? Senior brother! I just know it but don't know why I need you."

And this is nothing more than an expert looking at the problem from a sharp angle. How can Lu Zhou, an academic novice, hide it?

"What?"

Zhang Xiaolong was stunned for a moment after listening to their topic. Then he fell into thinking and ignored the lively chat between Lu Ming and Lu Zhou. Then he turned on his mobile phone and began to look through the papers in it.

.

Half an hour later, Lu Zhou, who was arguing with Lu Ming, blushed and said, "What a difficult opponent."

Lu Ming said half-jokingly, "Junior brother, consider going back to study for graduate school. There is a bright future."

"Can I say that the dean also told me the same thing?"

On the side, Zhang Xiaolong also finished his "retreat", "Where were you talking? I read this paxos thesis once when I just graduated. I forgot too much. I just reviewed it."

Lu Zhou's heart beeped again, "Allen, did you graduate in 1990? What you watched more than ten years ago, you could finish in half an hour?"

Zhang Xiaolong obviously didn't understand what Lu Zhou was complaining about, "Graduated with a master's degree in 1994."

"What about half an hour! The strong men of Douzong are so terrifying." Lu Zhou's heart skipped a beat.

As a result, Zhang Xiaolong also joined the chaos, and the three of them started chatting for a while.

After chatting about some technical topics, we also talked about some product concepts. Although Lu Ming was not too interested in this matter, he would still add a word or two.

Seeing that another half hour passed, it was already one o'clock.

The staff of Zhonghua Kitchen shouted to Zhang Xiaolong, "Allen! Do you still want to eat? We will have a break in a while."

Zhang Xiaolong glanced at his watch, "Why is it so fast?"

Immediately, he was not polite and said to Ye Qingchen, "Xiaoye, help me go to Global Food to get four set meals, the seven-second pizza set. By the way, pick up a copy of Nandu Times from the newspaper column."

Ye Qingchen was like a kitten at meal time. She was about to cry while waiting for food. She couldn't interrupt the conversation between the three of them. She thought she could kill some time with food at the restaurant, but she didn't know how much it cost

Mu Mu can talk so much that he forgets the time.

After she said "ok" happily, she got up and went to get her meal.

An employee of Zhonghua Kitchen said, “… Just a reminder, I’ll take care of the performance by the way.”

Lu Zhou also smiled and looked at Zhang Xiaolong, "You're so rude, haha. And you didn't see the resentful look in the eyes of that little brother from Zhonghua Kitchen."

"Forehead......"

"Allen has low emotional intelligence, please understand haha." Lu Ming also went on to eliminate Zhang Xiaolong.

After Ye Qingchen finished taking the meal, they started lunch.

The three of them were chatting while eating. If anyone came up with an interesting idea, they would be like ants in a frying pan, either bursting into laughter or clapping the table in applause.

"I was surprised when I had a meal. The restaurant didn't serve drinks." The employee of Zhonghua Kitchen complained while cleaning up.

Ye Qingchen ate some pizza on the side. She didn't have a big appetite. After she was full, she moved the remaining dishes to Lu Zhou's plate.

Seeing that there was nothing to do, she picked up the Nandu Times to entertain herself.

After only reading the first page of the newspaper, she was attracted by the picture on the lower right of a report about the China Fengyun-3a satellite.
