The five days passed very quickly, and the wound after circumcision was still not healed. Zhang Tie only changed the medicine once, and then his vacation was over.
In the past two days, the good news for Zhang Tie is that the head of the disobedient guy below him has become less sensitive and has become accustomed to the friction with his underwear and pants when walking around.
The bad news is that Zhang Tie found that he had become famous among the cattle in Black Flame City. In the eyes of many people who did not know him, he seemed to have become an evil and terrifying thug, a man who could be used as a gangster in the canteen of Wild Wolf Castle. A murderer who personally broke his classmate's neck in front of thousands of people.
Those people were not interested in what Zuhair and Gris had done to him, but what he had done to Zuhair was spread among the schools in Black Flame City.
On the first day after Black Flame City was merged into the Norman Empire, he used the game rules of the Norman Empire's barbaric trial to kill one of his classmates with his own hands. This kind of impression in the minds of those who hear about it is definitely not much better.
Moreover, there are rumors that the missing Gris also died in his own hands. This rumor guess was correct, but Zhang Tie had no intention of admitting it, so he left it to those people to guess, and he didn’t know how to do it anyway. Lose a hair.
On the night when Tang De left, after sending the three Pandoras home, after careful deliberation and consideration on the way back, when they got home, their elder sister-in-law was pregnant and a little sleepy, so she had already gone to bed. After that, Zhang Tie called his parents and brother together and explained the whole story of the apartment building and the money that Tang De gave him.
Seeing the bag containing 400 locomotive gold coins that Zhang Tie took out, the other three members of the Zhang family did not react for a long time.
"You said this money was given to you by Tang De?" Dad asked Zhang Tie with wide eyes.
"Yes, there is also the six-story apartment building on Monet Avenue. That building was bought by Tang De a few years ago and he has been living there. Today he also donated it to me, and all the procedures have been completed. Tang De said that this was a trivial reward for me. He thanked me for giving him the "Abrasive Calculation" and letting him make a great contribution. He is the eyes and ears of a super large organization in the Eastern Continent in Black Flame City. , now he is going back, so he left this little thing to me!" Zhang Tie explained honestly with his hands on his knees.
Hearing what Zhang Tie said, my parents and brother fell silent. Although I knew in advance that "The Divine Arithmetic of the Pearl" can be used to train mental strength and is a very precious secret book, I did not expect that this book would be so useful. In Tang De's words, all Everyone knows the value of "Abacus Mental Arithmetic" - this book is simply an enlightenment and introductory textbook for cultivating spiritual power prepared for everyone. It can greatly lower the threshold for a person to practice and improve his spiritual power, and even allow many people who were previously unable to practice and improve their spiritual power to find ways to improve their spiritual power again. This value is too great. Too big to be measured.
"Besides these things, did he give you anything else or make any other instructions to you before he left?" Dad, who had been silent for a few seconds, asked Zhang Tie with a serious look he had never seen before.
"He said that it is best not to tell anyone except the people in my family about the secret of this "Abrasive Calculation", so as not to bring disaster to our family. By the way. He also gave me a piece of paper that is said to have arrived after arriving in the Eastern Continent. A card that can contact him!" Zhang Tie said, and took out the resin card with a series of irregular holes in his arms. Zhang Tie never understood what this card was for.
Zhang Tie's father took the card Zhang Tie took out. Looking carefully, the originally tightly frowned brows slowly opened up, and finally turned into a completely relaxed look. He let out a long breath, and then nodded to his mother.
"Dad, you know this thing, what is it used for?" Looking at the look on his father's face, Zhang Tie asked with a thought in his heart.
"This is a business card!" Dad smiled and said.
"Business card?" Not only Zhang Tie, but also Zhang Yang, who had been looking at the strange piece of paper, was surprised. Zhang Yang took the resin card with a bunch of small holes from his father's hand and looked at it carefully for a long time. , I didn’t see half a word on it. How could this thing be a business card? The two brothers had the same doubt.
"Of course, this is the most advanced business card. This kind of business card is not for people to see, but for large steam computers to see. The round holes on this card are the kind of machines that can only be recognized by large steam computers. Language, the specification of this card, is the identity card for long-distance crystal remote sensing decoding communication of the Xuanyuan 6 steam computer in the Eastern Continent. This requires taking this card to the remote crystal remote sensing communication equipment in any city in the Eastern Continent. You can get in touch with Tang De..." Dad took the card from my brother's hand again, looked at it carefully, and there was even a look of nostalgia on his face.
A massive steam computer? This time it was Zhang Tie's turn to be dumbfounded. This kind of thing was too advanced. He had only heard about it in school, and had never even seen it before the teacher who told them about it in school.
The steam computer was developed on the basis of the steam difference engine. It is two generations more advanced than the difference engine. It is the greatest machine that humans can create so far. This is the evaluation of the steam computer by the school teacher.
As for the difference engine, Zhang Tie knew that it was invented by the human mathematician Babbage hundreds of years before the Cataclysm, more than a thousand years ago, when mankind was in the first industrial revolution before the Catastrophe. A machine that can perform complex differential operations. The invention of this machine was inspired by the steam jacquard machine. Babbage, a mathematician at the time, was inspired by the jacquard machine and invented the first steam differential machine. The differential engine performs calculations through various gears. It is a pity that after mankind's first difference engine was invented, that machine did not attract too much attention, and its results were refrigerated for some inexplicable reasons.
It was not until the second industrial revolution before the catastrophe of mankind that computers were invented that used electricity to drive and relied on transistors instead of gears for calculations with the same functions. The invention of the steam difference engine was completely forgotten. . Then, the Cataclysm came. After the cataclysm, when those surviving humans discovered that if humans wanted to survive better, they must have a calculation tool that was faster and more accurate than the human brain. The steam difference engine had been hidden for more than a thousand years. Only to be re-created.
In the former Andaman Alliance, among the 17 cities in the entire alliance, only Karur, the city of machines, had the strength to manufacture steam differential engines. There were only two steam differential engines in the entire alliance, and one of the two steam differential engines was placed in the machine. The city of Karur has become the most powerful computing core supporting the entire manufacturing strength of Karur. There is also a slightly smaller machine placed in Andaman City, the former capital of the Andaman Alliance. I heard that the Andaman family used that machine to manage the huge family industry.
Between the steam computer and the steam difference engine, there is another one in the middle, which is the steam analysis engine. It is a machine with more powerful capabilities made by humans based on the steam difference engine. The steam computer is a more powerful device than the steam analyzer. That is the embodiment of the pinnacle of human manufacturing strength. In the entire Blackson Human Corridor, let alone the large steam computers. Even large steam analysis machines. I heard that no one can create it.
"Dad, how do you know so much?" Zhang Tie looked at his father with some confusion. Even the teachers at school had never seen this kind of card. How come his father could tell its origin in one sentence? , and the look on dad’s face is too strange. Why did my father, who was originally a little worried about Tang De's identity, seem to be relieved after seeing this card!
"This... this... Dad has heard of it before!"
Zhang Tie felt that his father was really not suitable for lying. At such an age, he had a habit of scratching his head when he lied, and the whole family knew about it.
Zhang Tie looked unbelieving. Just as he was about to see what he was saying, my mother spoke.
"Guoguo, what are you going to do with the house and the money now?"
Mom immediately diverted Zhang Tie's attention.
"Needless to say, of course I leave it to my father and mother, so that you can be the landlord and the landlord and enjoy the happiness..." When he mentioned this, Zhang Tie suddenly became happy, "The eldest brother is getting married. There should be a new house for him and his sister-in-law. Even if I live in another one by myself, there are still nine houses in that apartment. I can still earn an income of more than ten gold coins a month, which is much higher than my father’s salary. The rice wine business is not easy to do right now. My sister-in-law is about to add a new member to the family. This house comes at the right time. Give me the money. I’m about to retire. I can go there with the money. Doing some business is much better than working for others!"
In order not to worry his parents too much, Zhang Tie did not talk about the jihad. Zhang Yang was about to say something when he saw Zhang Tie wink at him. The tacit understanding between the two brothers for more than ten years made Zhang Yang shut up immediately. Zhang Yang knew that Zhang Tie had something to say to him alone later.
Mom and Dad thought about it, looked at each other, and nodded.
"The house is yours. Mom will look after it for you first. I guess you can't take care of it. We are used to living here. We have been living here for decades and don't want to move. We can live here and the family is lively. You can move there. Just go over there. Seeing that you can have a place to stay in Black Flame City without having to eat and sleep outside, your dad and I are relieved..." A kind smile appeared on my mother's face, "Where is the money? I’ll keep it for you too, and if your elder brother really needs it in the future, I’ll give it to him, even if you lent it to him!”
Knowing that this was what his father and mother meant, Zhang Tie didn't say much more, but he must let his father and mother keep the rent. It was considered as his filial piety to the two elders. Finally, his father and mother finally agreed. He agreed to take one third of the money and leave the rest to Zhang Tie to spend on his own.
The end result was a happy one for the whole family.
After his father and mother went to bed, Zhang Tiecai quietly pulled Zhang Yang aside and quietly told him about the jihad. Upon hearing such news, Zhang Yang also changed his face, and suddenly understood the two recent events. The reason for the turmoil in the alliance between Yuehei Yancheng and Andaman.
"Brother, that money is just for you. This is the time for you and my brothers to work together to tide over the difficulties. What's the point of worrying about that little money. I have some inconveniences in the army. Black Flame City Guards It will be abolished soon. Among the original city guards, the Iron Horn Army only considers leaving a few key officers, and the rest will be retired. This is the news I heard from Staff Weixi. The Iron Horn Army wants to follow the Their method is to re-recruit and train a group of new soldiers in Black Flame City, so your retirement will only last a few days. After you retire, you can use the money in the name of business to slowly open up some relationships and give it to your family first. Find a way out in the Chinese country in the south. Otherwise, if there is a sudden change, we two brothers don't have to worry. We can just slap our butts and run away. But what about dad, mom, sister-in-law and the child in sister-in-law's belly? What to do? This requires planning and preparation in advance. As long as you find a way out, brother, we can find a way to get my parents, mother and sister-in-law out first... "
The two brothers held their hands tightly together, and Zhang Yang nodded heavily!
…
In the blink of an eye, the day came for Zhang Tie to report to the Iron Blood Camp of the 39th Division...
