Reboot 2003

Chapter 246 025: Power outage (three-in-one)

At first everyone thought the fuse was blown, but when they stepped outside, the whole city was completely silent, as if there was a widespread power outage.

The brothers are having fun playing the game.

Although this game is a bit crude and the gameplay is quite simple, the brothers are all serious online game players. Not only do they play games themselves, but they also practice accounts for the studio and study money-spinning plans. In fact, this kind of game can't do anything. It's a bit boring. After the freshness period, it seems to be a bit boring.

But although it is boring, when I see other people posting challenge links on Weibo, I still want to try it out, especially the regional skills - now everyone has seen the power of advanced skills, and this skill is actually based on From the province.A brother used the jump tool that deceived the Blizzard gateway to register an account with an overseas character. The initial skill was called 'Werewolf Transformation', but before he could see clearly what this skill was, there was a sudden power outage.

There's nothing you can do about it if there's a power outage. Anyway, if you challenge three times a day, you can still earn gold coins even if you can't defeat anyone. There are also skills for sale in the gold coin shop, which is better than nothing.

Recently, the ice and snow disaster has been very serious. Hunan Province next door has been completely without water and electricity for several days. The national disaster relief force is extremely busy. Recently, New Times has closed its doors.

but……

"Sister Ah Yue, what should I do with your game? There's a power outage..."

When everyone returned indoors, Xiao Gao had already turned on the flashlight and pulled out the diesel generator prepared in advance from under the linoleum.

Looking at Ah Yue again, Ah Yue was a little anxious just now. Now she doesn't know why, but she suddenly feels confident and is no longer in a hurry: "Don't worry, everyone, our servers are deployed on the cloud, and there will be no impact if there is a power outage here."

She had mentioned this term before, and then a brother asked: "Boss Xiaoyue, we know you know a lot, but you keep talking about clouds, what exactly is this cloud? Is the server really on the clouds in the sky?"

Everyone laughed, and Ayue replied: "Yes, you can't see or touch it. Our server is handed over to them. Now it is floating in the sky. I don't know how it is calculated. Anyway, it will not be affected in any way. Of course there will be a power outage." It has no impact.”

While talking, the generator started spinning, and no one dared to waste electricity. A group of people watched A Yue turn on the computer, but found that the Internet was not working. They quickly called their acquaintances at the telecommunications bureau and learned that although the telecommunications bureau now had electricity, Nowadays, the traffic volume has increased sharply, and the telecommunications bureau must first ensure smooth communication.

The acquaintance was also a little embarrassed. After all, he had promised to guarantee Internet access before, so he patted his chest on the phone and said, "You don't have to worry about the Internet. It's an emergency now. Even if the electricity doesn't come, wait until tomorrow morning and your phone will be connected." The dedicated line will definitely be able to connect, and the power outage does not seem to be a big problem this time. The engineering team has gone to repair it overnight, maybe it will be repaired in the middle of the night...

A Yue was a little depressed after hearing this, but she wasn't too worried.Seeing that she didn't care, everyone was almost completely relieved. As for today's activities, it was almost time to end.

"Then go home." Chen Qin also suggested, "Now that the server is open and we have played, it's such a cold day, why don't we all go back to our houses to rest early, and treat everyone to dinner another day."

The brothers happily agreed that it was time to go home, especially Song Ziyun and Guo Yang. Although the exams were over today and their parents probably wouldn't say anything after a crazy day, it was so cold that they were preparing to go home just now.

At this time A Yue asked: "By the way, Brother Gao, what are you going to do in the studio tonight?"

Gao Lisheng said, "I'll lock the door after everyone leaves. When will you two come tomorrow morning?"

Ah Yue tried to suggest: "Can you lock me in? I actually have some work, although it's not very important, but if the call really comes at night, I'd better finish it as soon as possible."

Gao Lisheng hesitated, turned to look at Chen Qin, and Chen Qin said, "That's okay."

So Xiao Gao also agreed. He urged his brothers to pack their things. After that, the two high school students left first. Xiao Gao also left with his brothers. Before leaving, he put a new mattress on the steel wire bed that had not been used for several days and put the generator on He turned it on, then turned on the electric heater, explained to A Yue how to use the electric heater, and then went downstairs himself - he had just bought a new house recently and had not lived in a studio for a while.

Everyone left, and A Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

The generator rumbled outside the door, and the air in the studio was lingering with the faint smell of smoke. The lively space suddenly became quiet, but the small town was still restless, and the rolling shutter door downstairs rumbled, and even more There was a dog barking somewhere in the distance.

The empty interior felt vaguely uneasy.

A Yue went back to the counter and looked at the computer that was turned on. There was still no network.

But Ah Yue was going to take a look outside the door... Speaking of which, the door wasn't closed yet.How is this door locked?

But then I saw that Chen Qin had left his schoolbag on his computer chair.

He quickly took out his phone, thought for a while and put it back first.

Taking Chen Qin's schoolbag to the door, he opened the door curtain and took a look outside. All the brothers had left, and the aisle outside the door was empty...

Ah Yue sneaked back into the room, reached for her deskmate's schoolbag with her little hand, and unzipped it...

Of course, this is very rude.

But during the six months we spent together, our curiosity continued to accumulate.She herself is a rich girl, but her deskmate seems to be more mysterious - sometimes she feels like Chen Qin said that day, everything is arranged by fate, but this feeling is accumulating, and she wants more understand him thoroughly.

With this thought in her mind, Ah Yue made up her mind and carefully opened Chen Qin's schoolbag with fingers that were a little clumsy due to nervousness. She looked through the books in the schoolbag. There was nothing new. There was only one book that Chen Qin had often seen before. The notes I wrote alone were very mysterious and seemed to be study notes related to programming.

Ayue opened it and flipped through it. There were some things written in it, such as baseband chips, FPGAs, chiplets, service grid architecture, etc. There were not only names but also pictures. It looked like that, even the patterns of the chips. painted.

Programming is really hard.

With this thought in mind, Ah Yue closed the notebook and carefully put it back. Then she found a glasses case with a small leather bag in her side bag. When she opened it, she saw that it seemed to be the same black-rimmed glasses that he had seen him wearing during the negotiation that day. But he doesn't often use it on weekdays. The small leather bag is thick and well-designed, and it doesn't look like something he would use casually.

Then I secretly took a look at the side bag. There was a small fan inside. It looked very beautiful. If I looked closely, it seemed to be the game peripherals of Jian Wang 1. Is he playing online games so early?

Then he opened the side bag, but at this moment there were footsteps outside the door.

A Yue was startled and hurriedly hid her schoolbag behind her. In the darkness outside the door, a familiar figure opened the door curtain and walked in.

"Chen Qin? I thought you went back."

Seeing that it was her, Ah Yue became nervous and her eyes wandered.

Chen Qin said: "I just called my grandma and told her I wouldn't go back tonight."

Ah Yue hid Chen Qin's schoolbag behind her back and tensed her little body nervously: "Oh..."

She didn't react for a while, but Chen Qin then took out a bunch of keys and took off two of them from the key ring. Then Ah Yue asked, "Are you going to spend the night here too?"

"I'm not staying here for the night." Chen Qin handed her the key, "Didn't you notice that the door is not locked? It's quite messy around here. You can close the iron door on the side later and lock the rolling shutter door. Can you pull the rolling shutter?"

A Yue hesitated: "I, I have seen it."

"Then I'll pull you halfway."

As he spoke, Chen Qin picked up the curved pole next to the door and pulled down the iron gate of the studio. He clapped his hands amidst the roar and told her: "You will get in later and lock the door from the inside. You will know what to do." ?"

As the cold wind blew outside the door, Ah Yue shivered and came to her senses.

After explaining the matter, Chen Qin took the key chain and went to the stairs. Before leaving, he said: "You don't need to worry about the iron door on the stairs. I will just lock it. If you want to use the toilet, just use the bathroom behind the studio. There is If anything happens, just call me downstairs."

A Yue quickly held the door: "Chen Qin, aren't you going home?"

"I told you not to reply. I'm watching the Internet cafe downstairs." Chen Qin said.

"The Internet cafe has no electricity and it's so cold." She asked, "Isn't your grandma worried about you?"

"I've called." Chen Qin said, "Anyway, don't worry about it. There are sleeping bags downstairs."

As she was about to go downstairs again, Ah Yue didn't give up this time: "How can this be done? Just go home, I'll be alone."

Then he whispered: "I know you want to accompany me, but I can just be alone."

Chen Qin was a little dissatisfied: "You are a first-year junior high school girl, you have no problem? There were gangs in this area two years ago. The Internet cafe was opened in front, and they stole the Internet cafe hub outside the door. In the past, everyone from Xiao Gao to big men had done it. , otherwise what do you think so many brothers are for..."

Chen Qin talked about the security problems in the area, and A Yue said depressedly: "I know you are doing it for me, but it doesn't matter if I lock the door. Just go home, otherwise grandma will definitely be worried, and anyway The server has nothing to do, come back tomorrow morning when you have time!"

Chen Qin was helpless: "Why don't you, a little girl, have no awareness at all? You see, although you are a bit small, you are quite handsome. Maybe one of the brothers has taken a liking to you and knocked on the door at night saying that he left something in the studio. When the time comes, there won’t even be an adult around, do you think you’ll be safe?”

A Yue was stunned for a moment and said quickly: "Auntie said she would come to accompany me, but the car was stuck on the road, and..."

And everyone in the studio is a good person.

She originally wanted to say this, but things were obviously not that simple, and she clearly understood this. Chen Qin's worry was probably indeed a problem.

But at the moment, she was a little distracted. Of course, she was a little moved in her mind. And because of the compliment she just said, she didn't know whether it was a compliment or not, she vaguely had some strange thoughts. It seemed that she was in the same mood as when she just peeked at Chen Qin's schoolbag out of curiosity. , even became a little inappropriate, the cold wind blew, making her face a little red.

Of course, no matter what, she has always been a very independent person. At least she knows what to do now.

So Ah Yue grabbed Chen Qin regardless and said, "That won't work. If you don't go home, then go to the studio upstairs. It's so cold downstairs. If you want to live downstairs, then I'll live with you."

Saying this, Ah Yue made up her mind that if Chen Qin didn't want to, then she would go to the ice cave-like Internet cafe downstairs to be with him no matter what...

But Chen Qin didn't insist, and just said helplessly: "I won't do anything bad, but as a girl, it's not good for others to find out."

"I don't see you still being afraid of this, let's go." A Yue pulled him upstairs.

"Then it's agreed. Don't tell anyone what happened tonight. When others ask, just say I'm downstairs."

"Hmm, I know."

Unexpectedly, he was quite easy to talk to. The two of them returned upstairs, bent down and got back into the studio, and the warm air hit their faces.A Yue looked back and saw that Chen Qin was unambiguous. He pulled down the rolling shutter door from the inside, asked for the key back, and locked the door from the inside.After that, Chen Qin just pulled out another wire bed, pulled it to the electric heater at the door, and laid down the bedding.

A Yue returned to the counter and heard Chen Qin say to her across half the room: "Then you sleep at the counter at night. I'll sleep at the door. The door is warmer. Speaking of which, there are quite a lot of stand-alone games on the computer. You can play all night long if you want, but I'm not as energetic as you, so I don't have time to play with you..."

With that said, he pulled away the quilt, lay on the wire bed and started playing with his phone.

A'yue didn't know whether to cry or laugh. Looking at the familiar boy lying at the door, she felt inexplicably relieved. Thinking of everything that had happened in the past six months, and the game server that didn't know what happened after the power outage, her thoughts began to change. Got sluggish.

And in the closed but reassuring environment, the night became less difficult.

Snowflakes were falling outside the window, and the city was gradually getting dark. Although there was an accident, it happened at such a critical time.

But fortunately, at least I prepared a generator in advance and there is heating in the house. After tonight, everything should get better...

Ah Yue thought so and wrote the next version of the development plan in front of the computer. In the silent but closed room, the two of them were too far apart and had nothing to say, but because the temperature was suitable, the two of them worked on their own. Well, the air started to feel comfortable.

But maybe God is not kind, or maybe tonight is indeed a troubled night.

At about ten o'clock after dark, someone banged on the door of the Internet cafe downstairs and didn't stop for a long time.

The wind was howling outside the bathroom window, the night was getting deeper and deeper, and the snow outside was getting bigger and bigger.

At 12:30, the Internet was still down, and A-Yue started to yawn. The lights were still on, but Chen Qin seemed to have fallen asleep.

A Yue spread out the quilt, looked back, and put the coat she had taken off at the end of the bed.

Suddenly again - click.

Just like before, the room fell into darkness again, the lights went out, the computer was turned off, and the electric heater went out.

"Fuck...the generator is down."

In the darkness, Chen Qin cursed and muttered: "Is there a thief coming? Someone was knocking on the door downstairs just now, and suddenly there was no sound."

A Yue suggested: "Then let's not go out."

Chen Qin agreed, turned on the flashlight, came over and locked the leaking toilet door.

Turning back, the flashlight shone on Ah Yue sitting on the bed next to the counter, and suggested, "Is it cold there? The heater is a little warmer."

He probably just asked casually, but Ah Yue said: "Okay, then do we want to sleep together, or drag the bed over?"

Under the dim light of the flashlight, A Yue was sitting on the edge of the bed wearing her sweater and shirt, with an upright posture and serious eyes.

Chen Qin seemed stunned for a moment.However, he honestly dragged the wire bed over with her, and the two of them slept on one side. The temperature in the corner was indeed a little higher, but then they could only sleep.

"Oh, what a bad luck."

Chen Qin muttered and turned off the flashlight.

A Yue was lying on her wire bed and turned to look at him: "What's wrong? Do you regret staying?"

"What is supposed to come will always come, just be your game producer."

"Hehe, and he's also a good roommate."

"what?"

"Nothing. By the way, Chen Qin...the animator introduced by Teacher Huang said he could make a female paper doll system..."

"Um……"

"The company's stock has fallen a lot today."

"Because last year's annual report is about to be released, the entire market is avoiding risk."

"Speaking of which...Chen Qin, why do you know so much?"

"how to say……"

In the darkness, the two of them were talking. Chen Qin looked at the ceiling in the darkness. Before he could think of how to answer the previous question, Ah Yue took the initiative to ask: "But you are so powerful, but I always feel that you are always in the mood." not good."

Chen Qin laughed.

"The weather is so bad, who can feel better?"

The conversation before going to bed ended like this. As an elder, Chen Qin began to urge A Yue to go to sleep quickly. A Yue pulled up the quilt and said to him before going to bed: "The weather may get better tomorrow."

"Go to sleep."

Chen Qin didn't answer and closed his eyes in the darkness. The wind was still blowing outside the door, and Ah Yue seemed to be tired...

It's really time to sleep.

Just like every other day, an ordinary day has ended.What did you do today?

After taking the exam, I signed a document sent by Sun Xia Zhang from Xiangjiang at noon.

I didn't have time to run and exercise, and I didn't read the technical papers I was reading recently. I planned to ask how Kaitian OS was doing, but I didn't have time to ask.

Of course, it is an exam after all, so it is appropriate to put other things aside.Everything in the company is on track, some possible variables are expected, and several projects are progressing well.

However, Amazon seems to have recently acquired a cloud technology company, which makes him worried when he thinks about it.

However... I am still young now, and there is still a long time in the future... It should be necessary to take advantage of this opportunity to make games and enrich the SQL technology stack...

Chen Qin thought this, and his consciousness gradually sank deeper, but he inexplicably thought of A Yue's words. The weather has been bad recently. He has long remembered the snow disaster in 2008. Of course, this year is not peaceful. Such bad weather will probably happen again. Lasts a long time.

Fortunately, although he himself was a little frightened by his foreign friends on Wall Street, it was quite easy to do something in the dark... After all, he was already rich now, Lehman had begun to collapse recently, and Goldman Sachs We are also in a bad situation. We recently asked Buffett to borrow money. Buffett seems a little unwilling to be the taker. He is not willing to pay 50 billion...

Boss Chen's red water fund already has more than 100 billion in its account. Taking advantage of this financial crisis, the book wealth is heading straight to 200 billion.

In order to make tax planning in advance, it is time for the Red Water Fund to do some of its old work... In every country, charity and public welfare can be tax deductible, although there are still many ways to do this, such as today's Red Cross Society The scandal has not yet broken out, but now they specialize in this kind of hustling and kickback business, and foreign wealthy people also have their own charity magic...

But people who work in IT are relatively honest. Gates cashed out Microsoft and went to charity in order to avoid taxes. He did it until 2023. The public welfare expenditure is higher than that of many medium-sized countries. As for Ant and JD.com in the future Although I have my own political goals, I don’t know if I am doing charity work as a grassroots or just perfunctory. In short, there are many problems, but I have spent a lot of real money. Compared with those precious organizations in the charity circle, it is still considered He is an honest man...

In the midst of chaotic thoughts, Chen Qin turned over.

So... although the weather probably won't get better tomorrow, it should get better sooner or later.It’s been a long time since the weather has been sunny. When was the last time the weather was good?

In fact, it shouldn't be very far, but when I think of this, my memory naturally turns over a certain page before. The soft rattling sound of the wind blowing the rolling shutters gradually disappears, and the subtle breathing of the girl not far away. It's also getting further away.

It seemed to be a sunny day - it was a summer day in June, the weather was mild, parents in short-sleeved shirts crowded in the street, smiling faces were on everyone's faces, and the primary school students had just left school, and crackling firecrackers were set off. In the crowd and chaos, the sixth-grade graduates sang the last graduation song on campus...

By the way, it's elementary school graduation day.

The weather was good and everyone was very happy. When leaving the school, Chen Qin was choked by the smell of gunpowder smoke in the air and coughed.

However, there are no terrifying Wall Street gunmen here. Only Lao Chen, who was wearing a suit, came back from Hanzhang. He and his brothers squeezed out of the crowd and put layers of red forgings on his son's head——

"These two kids stick together every day, so Hong might as well hang out together!"

Uncle Bai laughed and used a red satin to tie Chen Qin to a girl who was following him. Old Chen laughed behind him and looked tentatively at the other man behind him - that was from the house next door. Uncle Xu, he has been working on servers recently, and those servers are used for cloud computing.

No, I misremembered. Uncle Xu must have stayed in China for a long time. Many people hid back in China at that time.

Uncle Xu looked at the two children being bundled together and laughed. He seemed to have no objection. Lao Chen urged everyone to go to Longshan Hotel. Lao Xu had nothing to do recently, but he was very busy at the hotel in Hanzhang. Xu originally wanted to invest a little, but Lao Chen insisted that he had money, and the Xu family did not insist.

As for today...the two families live together and have a good relationship on weekdays. Of course, the children's graduation banquet was hosted together.

Chen Qin recalled the aftermath of that day. He was wrapped in thick red satin and stuffed into the car like a puppet. He was so hot that he was sweating profusely... It couldn't be said to be a pleasant experience. The childhood sweetheart beside him was very happy for some reason. Excited, Chen Qin kept urging him to go upstairs quickly, stretched out his hand from the red satin, and held him tightly... But the weather was still sunny.Looking back now, she looks a little strange, but still very familiar; she was a childhood sweetheart in Chen Qin Kindergarten, she was in the same class when she entered elementary school, and she was still in the same class when she graduated.

But what happened next?
After returning from the banquet, life will continue.

Several parents were discussing matters outside. Chen Qin returned to his bedroom, closed the door, and turned on the newly assembled computer. The laptop next to him was compiling a simple system code.

The memory seemed to become clearer - the girl just came into the room, closed the door behind her back, and sat on the bed next to her, but she looked vaguely melancholy. She always looked worried. She was very happy in the hotel before, but now When he entered the door, he swung his legs by the bed a little depressed, watching Chen Qin busy assembling the computer.

After watching for a while, he suddenly asked him: "Aqin, are you going to Xiangjiang or not?"
