The next day, after a sincere exchange of technical terms, Aunt Susan finally admitted the judgment of the young nobleman, and found her upper house with the resentment that went straight to the palace on her head. The bullets used as bullets were replaced by suitable components.
Since then, the fighting hero Xu Le of the Federation has started his long career as an illegal assembly worker in the slums of the capital of the Empire. He used the brain of the mechanic who designed the mecha to design the cables of the rudimentary player, and used the fingers of repairing the mecha to install the cables. Crude imitation components, accompanied by dim lights and dim moonlight, do not stop every night.
"There are six jumpers here. The sensitivity of the power supply induction disconnect switch must be reduced. According to the voltage stability of this block, if the original design is used, I'm afraid that watching a movie will have to restart 30 times."
"This yellow silicon particle box is the decoder stability valve. The most critical part of the entire player is the decoding device. Professionals are responsible for brushing the software. We don't care, but we can expand the transmission rate of the storage channel as much as possible."
"Decoding rate? If hard decoding is possible, of course, the effect is much better than soft decoding, but the problem is that even if you want to occupy the computing frequency of the main chip, you still need a special hardware device. Price? I am not very clear about this, probably That's seven percent of the cost."
While explaining to the mother and son beside him, Xu Le quickly flipped his ten ordinary fingers, assembling the player in front of him with ease and incomparably quickly, and then put it in the basket on the side.
Aunt Susan widened her eyes and suddenly realized that she had misunderstood this poor young aristocrat. This skill level can be compared to that of a skilled technical worker. Thinking of the hard decoding this guy just mentioned, she scratched her head and murmured loudly. Asked: "I don't understand these technical terms, but if the high-definition picture can be made smoother, the cost of 7% should not be a problem."
"Brother, your work is so beautiful, I can't learn it."
Aunt Susan's son Paul was on vacation today and rushed back to his home in the slum from the Second University. Like his mother, this young man has a very kind heart and is full of sympathy. He has never objected to his mother taking in this exiled nobleman. move.
Today, Paul wanted to learn to assemble machines from this young exiled nobleman, so as to make his mother's life easier, but he did not expect that the ten nimble fingers of the young exiled nobleman would greatly dampen his self-confidence.
Xu Le laughed, showing neat white teeth, and said, "I have some talent in this area."
Although it is only the simplest assembly process, but with the help of the gifted exiled nobleman, the pirated audio and video player produced by Aunt Susan's courtyard is more stable, smoother and clearer than other competitors' players. , and more importantly, the debit rate is unbelievably strong.
With its excellent performance, the player assembled by Aunt Susan has gradually gained a reputation in the market "industry", with more and more repeat customers, and even the housekeepers of some noble houses in the central area of the city even come to buy for their little masters. , It is said that those young aristocrats are completely addicted to the perfect restoration effect of this player on three-dimensional love action movies, unable to extricate themselves, sore hands and backaches...
The business is getting better and better, and the money is getting more and more, Aunt Susan simply reluctantly took out a large sum of money to bribe the market management office and those vicious local gangsters, rented a small shop in the market, and hired a The middle-aged female salesperson has officially bid farewell to the restless life of itinerant vendors.
Nearly two months have passed, the empire has entered the winter rainy season, the food in the dilapidated and clean courtyard has become more and more abundant, the aunt's hearty laughter has become more and more, and Paul has gone home more and more times. , but Xu Le has been quietly staying in the attic, never stepping out of the courtyard.
It was windy and rainy outside, and the imperial people’s search for him must not have eased. He began to ask Aunt and Paul what was going on outside from time to time, but he didn’t try to go out.
The cold icy rain tapped on the windows. This year, the small courtyard, which had paid full heating bills, was as warm as spring. After dinner, the three people started playing cards in the attic to pass the time. This has become a routine program in the small courtyard. .
The game was playing cards on Imperial South Road. The aunt's laughter and Paul's distressed voice could be heard from time to time in the quiet attic. Xu Le smiled and played cards with the mother and son, but he knew very well that this was because the mother and son were worried that they would be trapped in the attic. If you hold it for too long, you will get sick.
Paul lost this game, and the young college student rubbed his brunette angrily and began to shuffle the cards. At this moment, Aunt Susan suddenly said: "You don't have to worry about implicated us. The people in this block where we live have always only been in charge of their own family affairs, and will not be interested in other people's affairs."
Xu Le was silent, not expecting Aunt Susan to guess her worries.
"I went to the Joint Defense Office to quietly read the wanted document. There is no three-dimensional image of you in the nobility roster. Maybe those officials and gentlemen have long forgotten about you, this inconspicuous little guy." Aunt Susan looked into his eyes seriously, "You It's impossible to hide in the attic all your life, you often stare out of the courtyard these days, I know you want to go, but my aunt wants to say, if you want to go, it's better to go when you are sure."
Paul also stopped his shuffling hand, frowned at Xu Le and said, "Brother, there are a lot of speculations about the truth of this rebellion in the school. Mom and I have asked you many times, but you won't say anything. Naturally, there are It's inconvenient to say why, but what Mom just said is right, you'd better not take risks."
Aunt Susan was silent for a moment, then smiled again and said, "Remember to at least tell us when you leave."
"Definitely." Xu Le replied seriously.
The city with silky winter rain, like the dilapidated buildings in the slums shrouded in smoke, is all the pictures of Xu Le leaning against the window and watching. Although this small courtyard is so warm, he doesn't belong here after all, and he has to leave.
He didn't know what kind of situation the home federation was in now. Did the troops attack? Have those guys in the seven groups already brought their guns to the battlefield? Where are those dear friends
On the third day after that night of conversation, he carefully dyed his black hair a hazel with the hair dye his aunt had bought, carefully trimmed his eyebrows, put on the color-changing contact lenses that Paul bought, and walked out for the first time. Small courtyard.
Gradually, friends in the market who knew Aunt Susan well, and not many neighbors in the streets, knew that there was a poor relative who had defected to Susan's family.
People living in Tianjing Xingdu have a natural sense of pride. Even if they live in a slum, it is a slum where they can see the towering palace walls from a distance, and a slum where they can feel His Majesty’s breath up close. It’s still a great place. With such a fledgling drama, I don’t know how many scenes will be staged every day. Who cares about the empire’s strict household registration flow censorship system
In this quiet life, the icy and rainy winter has passed, the lush and charming spring has come, and will pass again. The life of the people in the slums repeats over and over again, and it seems that nothing has changed.
Xu Le's life is also like this. He assembles a pirated player in the attic, accompanies Aunt Susan to chat about her emotional past at night, and occasionally points out Paul's difficult problems in the university's mechanical department. River, unmanifested lake.
In fact, he wanted to go, but he couldn't.
Under the gaze of those cold eyes hidden in the winter rain and spring breeze, he could not leave through normal means, and the ordinary shipping system of the empire could not get close at all, so he could only try to get close to the underground society of the empire, and wanted to use the smuggling of those dark forces The channel left the planet, but before he had time to start planning, he was stunned to find that the road had been completely cut off a long time ago.
Through the chats of the neighbors and the discussions that Paul brought back from the campus, he knew the beginning and the end of the whole thing.
A few months ago, the Imperial Military Department suddenly sent a cold final notice to the underground world of Tianjing Star through relevant channels, ordering those dark forces to immediately stop all smuggling operations.
This has rarely happened in history, because those in power are very clear that these underground worlds are the existence of the entire empire that cannot be completely erased from the root. The smugglers of these underground worlds often represent the secret interests of those big nobles and even members of the royal family. , not to mention that it is extremely unbearable for them to immediately terminate all smuggling transactions.
Sure enough, with the support of the members of the royal family and the great nobles, the underground world of Tianjing Star violated this request of the military, and it did not stop immediately.
What followed was a bloody massacre that made the entire empire's underworld tremble.
All the smuggling spaceships that dared to leave the surface of the planet were indifferently destroyed by the military fleet before they had time to break through the atmosphere. The warships bombarded with guns didn't seem to care what cargo those spaceships were carrying and which family they belonged to.
The biggest smugglers were secretly arrested by the Royal Anti-Smuggling Division on the same day, and no one has seen them again. As for their smuggling bases, under the powerful firepower of the imperial military, they became countless corpses. Woven pile of broken building blocks.
The most shocking part of the rumors is that the members of the royal family and nobles behind the smuggling businessmen were unceremoniously invited back to the dark courtroom by the officials of the Royal Intelligence Service. No nobles dared to resist, because it is said that... His Royal Highness personally brought them. team.
The vast majority of people in the imperial society do not understand why the royal family thought of bloodbathing the underground world and spending so much effort against smugglers. Some people linked this incident to the recent noble rebellion. However, one person knew very well that all All this is just to cut off the possibility of their own escape.
Huai Cao Shi, you are so ruthless.
Xu Le walked in the muddy vegetable market, bargained with the vegetable vendors who were covered in mud, and put the fish in the basket with a smile. Suddenly, he raised his head and squinted at the majestic palace in the distance. A burst of helpless disappointment.
