War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 782 Time Library

At noon on January 1th of the new year, Wei Ran's flight landed at Kazan Airport smoothly.

"How was the trip to Lipetsk?" Just as Wei Ran walked out of the pick-up gate, Sui Sui, who came to pick up the plane, threw herself into his arms as usual, becoming one of the pendants on the former.

"Your father and Ruslan drank a lot"

Wei Ran sold out his father-in-law by the way, then changed the subject and asked, "What about you? Are you done with business?"

"It's over!" Sui Sui rolled her eyes, let go of Wei Ran's neck, enthusiastically took his luggage and walked out, "Let's go! Let's go home!"

Hearing this, Wei Ran didn't ask any more questions, and let the other party pull him away from the airport, got into the armored commercial vehicle driven by Anfisa, and returned to the shore of Kaban Lake in a hurry.

However, what he didn't expect was that the car didn't drive into the house, but stopped a few hundred meters away from the door of the house.

"Put this on!"

While Sui Sui was speaking, she reached out her hand to take out a pink eye patch from her pocket and handed it over, her little face was already full of complacency.

Seeing this, Wei Ran smiled, and put on the blindfold cooperatively.And Anfisa, who was in charge of driving, also stepped on the accelerator again, and not long after, controlled the car to turn a few turns and then stopped steadily.

Letting Sui Sui pull him out of the carriage, almost at the same time when Wei Ran noticed the change in body temperature, two soft sounds of "bang bang" came from his ears clearly.

Almost at the same time, the blindfold on his face was also ripped off, and he could see the surrounding scene clearly, as well as the beautiful colored paper above his head.Of course, there are Katenka sisters holding a firework tube on both sides.

Although he didn't see where Sui Sui went, he also immediately realized that he was taken to the large renovated workshop next door to his house.

As far as the eye can see, on both sides of the workshop, solid wood bookshelves divide this large space into semi-open and private spaces similar to booths.

In these small grids, which are only about ten square meters, there are long solid wood tables and matching chairs.And on the bookshelves on both sides of the table, there are also all kinds of old books in different categories!

Not only that, there are blank picture frames hanging on the walls next to these tables and overhead in the entire hall.

In the spacious corridor in the center of the hall, there are those outdated lathe equipment dug out from the basement of this workshop, and even the molds for casting tank turrets.

It's just that these things have been carefully refurbished now. Not only are the lathes wrapped in glass display cabinets and put on spotlights and placed in flower pots, but even the turret molds are wrapped in tempered glass and become one by one. Stool to rest on.

Looking at the top of the head, at one end of the workshop, about four meters above the head, there is still a second floor wrapped in glass curtain walls.

The space on this floor is not too big, and the entrance seems to be outside the workshop.

But there is no doubt that if you stand on the second floor, you can easily overlook the whole picture of the workshop and the small space on the second floor that is also suspended at the other end of the workshop.

"Get in the car!" Sui Sui personally drove a small white battery car and parked beside Wei Ran.

Seeing this, Wei Ran smiled, followed Kajianka sisters to get into the battery car, let Sui Sui drag him around, and finally stopped at the solid wood bar at the entrance side of the middle of the workshop .

"Four cups of coffee," Sui Sui greeted before getting out of the car, "No sugar, half milk."

Hearing this, Lola, who was wearing a Soviet female soldier uniform, immediately manipulated the coffee machine behind her swiftly and brewed a cup of coffee for each of the four.

Pick up the enamel cup containing the coffee and look at it. In addition to Comrade Stalin’s head, it also has various slogans from the Soviet era printed on it. Then look at the cup holder behind the bar. a cup like this.

"Brought back from the No. 52 mine, many of the things used here are brought back from the No. 52 mine."

Sui Sui took a sip of the coffee with a smile, and said pretendingly, "I can drink the strong cherry blossom flavor from this cup of coffee."

"You secretly prepared this?"

Wei Ran also took a sip of the coffee and asked, did you taste the cherry blossom flavor and put it aside for now, the coffee itself tastes really good.

"It's not just me"

After Sui Sui finished speaking, she wiped her mouth, then put her finger into her mouth and blew a hooligan whistle with a long note.

Before the whistle sounded, the lights on the second floor suspended at both ends of the workshop were turned on, and then, Wei Ran saw that it was full of people waving at him.

"They are all members of Jima's Inta Sports Gym"

Sui Sui also responded with a wave of his hand, and at the same time explained proudly, "From the day we left here to return to Volgograd, they started to help with the decoration, and even spent the New Year in this workshop.

In addition, they also put the containers of old books sent by Mr. Nicholas on the bookshelves. They also helped to select the things we brought back from the No. 52 mine.Even Lola's coffee bar was helped by them. "

At this moment, Lola's younger sister, Korava, also rode a big red children's tricycle and creaked past them. On the small cargo compartment behind the children's carriage, there was a cartoon water bottle and a A compact telescope.

"What is she doing?" Wei Ran asked curiously.

"Korava is playing a game"

Lola, who came over with a plate of Chinese snacks, happily explained, "I'm guiding her to remember where all the books in this library are placed."

"She can do it?" Wei Ran asked in surprise.

"Actually she has done it"

Lola said proudly, "I just picked out a dozen books and switched places, and she's looking for those books now."

"And she seems to enjoy the game," explains Anfya, "she even learned to call 'sister' recently."

"It's from my church." Anfisa said solemnly while holding a cup of coffee.

"Obviously it's me." Lola rolled her eyes.

"It's me, it's me." Sui Sui took the credit as a matter of course.

"She speaks Russian," Anfeya reminded, "Boss, what you teach is Chinese."

"Korava is so smart, he can translate by himself." Sui Sui made excuses for herself with a smile.

"Let's not talk about this now." Wei Ran pointed to the picture frames above his head, "What are they for?"

"Don't you want to show the old photos of those rooms on the third floor of your home!"

Sui Sui put down the cup she had just picked up, and while rummaging through her body, she explained, "Those photo frames are reserved for you. You see which ones need to be displayed, and then develop the corresponding photos and put them on."

"Very simple"

Anfeiya pointed to her feet, "The steel cables that fix the photo frames are all controlled by our server, and any one of them can be lowered or raised to any height as needed."

"The entrance to the basement is also placed in our yard," Anfisa continued, "You can even drive in directly."

Before she finished speaking, Sui Sui finally took out a big red jewelry box from his bag. "Found it! Stand up!"

"What to do?" Wei Ran didn't understand, so he was pulled by the other party to stand up.

"Cough cough!"

Sui Suo pretended to clear his throat, and then, in the workshop of Nuo University, in the library of Nuo University, the familiar "March of Review" sounded!
With Wei Ran's dumbfounding expression, Sui Sui opened the jewelry box in his hand, took out a silver-white brooch with metallic luster from it, and pinned it on Wei Ran's chest.

Looking down at this brooch, Wei Ran grinned involuntarily. This brooch is completely in the shape of a quill pen, and there is even a diamond the size of a grain of rice inlaid at the tip of the pen.On the feather, there are two lines of red writing in Russian and Chinese: Victor/Wei Ran, curator of Time Library
"You made this?" Wei Ran asked while pinching the brooch.

"Where is the platinum one!"

Sui Sui became more and more proud, "I asked you at the beginning, when the library is built, what do you plan to use as the logo, you said you used a quill pen, you won't forget, right?"

"I haven't forgotten, how can I forget! This one is pretty good, but it's a bit heavy."

Wei Ran quickly replied with a smile, he did have the impression that Sui Sui seemed to have asked himself this question, and he did casually point to the tattoo on the tiger's mouth on his left hand.But he didn't expect that this girl who was so heartless and happy every day would always remember it.

"Where is the platinum one! Can it not sink!"

Sui Sui proudly showed off with her arms akimbo, and immediately after noticing the red lights flashing behind the second-floor glass curtain walls at both ends, she greeted, "Get in the car, I'll take you to see other things! "

Hearing this, Wei Ran picked up the coffee cup and drank it down in one gulp, and together with Kajian Kakamei, got back into the battery car driven by Suisui himself.

But this time, Sui Sui drove the car out of the gate next to the bar, and turned the direction of the front of the battery car.

This time, without prompting at all, Wei Ran saw the name "Library of Time" written in Russian in glowing red cursive characters directly above the gate, and the end of the red handwriting thrown out from the last letter of this string of cursive characters, There is also a quill pen signboard that is conspicuous enough and exudes silver-white light.

"Does it look good?!" Sui Sui raised her neck and said happily, "I designed it myself!"

"nice!"

Wei Ran nodded immediately, the design of this signboard is indeed beautiful, at least the quill pen looks much more gorgeous than the quill pen that comes with the metal book!

"Looking good is justice!"

Sui Sui stepped on the accelerator while speaking, and drove around the workshop to the end near Kaban Lake, pointing to the illuminated outer stairs and elevators and said, "This will be our office address from now on."

Wei Ran pointed to the luminous little white sheep on the glass curtain wall, kept ballet movements, and had a glowing ring on top of his head, and asked with a strange expression, "Is this your signature?"

"Hey, coincidence, don't think too much about it."

Sui Sui refused to admit Wei Ran's guess, stepped on the gas pedal again, took a circle in the spacious yard, and went around to the other side of the workshop.

Here is also an elevator with a set of external stairs. The only difference is that the pattern on the glass curtain wall has changed to a pattern of thorns intertwined with each other like DNA, one red and one black.And, of course, the dozen or so gray Watts vans parked here.

At this time, Jima's younger brothers wearing black Adidas three-stripe stripes in cold weather also filled the outer stairs, enthusiastically greeting Wei Ran and others with enamel bars with Stalin on them.

In contrast, Grieva, the apparent leader of the gang, was wearing a black suit like Wei Ran.

Even on his chest, there is a brooch in the shape of a quill pen wrapped around thorns. On the brooch, the red Russian writing is particularly conspicuous——Greva Allah, Security Manager of Time Library
Enthusiastically greeted and casually chatted with these little thugs and the thug leader who exuded a troublesome smell all over their bodies, but at this time they were extremely enthusiastic. Sui Sui also drove the battery car, and drove back to the other end of the workshop, passing through The electric iron gate between the yard and the next door.

"What's going on with Greva and the others?" Wei Ran asked while the other party drove the battery car into the entrance of the basement.

"What's the matter?"

Sui Sui didn't understand, so she asked back, "Didn't you discuss it with Ji Ma at the time? The office over there is for his gym."

"I'm talking about his brooch." Wei Ran pointed to his chest and added, "What the hell is the manager of the library's security department?"

"It's the security manager."

Sui Sui controlled the battery car to stop, and waited for Sister Katenka to open the explosion-proof door made of concrete in front, then continued to open it while saying, "Greva said that they can help ensure the safety of the library and maintain order. , so I made up a title for him by the way."

"Famous head" Wei Ran corrected, dumbfounded.

“It's about the same anyway”

Sui Sui stepped on the brakes, jumped down and spread her hands, and continued as a matter of course, "Anyway, if someone makes trouble in the library in the future, they must help solve it. Everyone has a name. Name! Name! Don't hit me on the head! "

After Wei Ran withdrew his hand, Sui Sui, who was covering his head, continued to explain, "So it is more convenient to have a name, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble and misunderstanding, after all, they are a member club of the gym in name.

A security manager for a library who is also a club member for a gym membership makes sense, right? "

"Reasonable, very reasonable."

Wei Ran rolled his eyes and pointed around, "What about here? It seems to be the same as before, except that the entrance has been changed and an additional explosion-proof door has been added?"

"There is really no difference. The explosion-proof door was suggested by the contractor, Lao Li. He said that it would be a waste to not use the over-bought concrete and steel bars."

Sui Sui pointed at the surroundings casually, "In short, let's use it as a basement and underground garage. A lot of junk brought back from Mine No. 52, and the vegetables we grow are also stored here. In addition, our servers are also stored here. Put it here, of course, it’s also good to come here to sing or play games once in a while.”

"More than these"

Anfeiya, who was sitting on the battery car, reminded, "Boss, I also cracked the mobile hard disk full of documents that you gave me to deal with before, and all the information in it is stored here. The materials that are placed in the library can also be stored here.

To put it simply, this is an archive room that is not open to the public. In addition, the monitoring terminals of the two houses are also placed here. "

"Will it not"

"will not"

An Feiya obviously knew what Wei Ran wanted to ask, "The archives and surveillance are not connected to the Internet at all. No matter how clever a hacker is, unless they get in, they absolutely don't have to worry about privacy theft."

"I think Lola may have the right to speak about the consequences of getting in." Feisa laughed and teased Lola who was still adapting to the job of the coffee shop owner in the library. Immediately afterwards, the four people in the basement came together laughed out.
