Reborn in the red age

The day after the open source operating system was uploaded to Lemon's official website, Lemon released the world's first browser, Starting Point, priced at US$49.9.

The launch of Starting Point gave ordinary people access to the Internet, which immediately attracted widespread attention from both inside and outside the industry. For a period of time thereafter, Starting Point became synonymous with browsers.

Lemon 2 soon received downloads from practitioners all over the world. Background data showed that the number of downloads exceeded two thousand, making it the world's first software that could be downloaded directly through the World Wide Web.

This open source code accelerated the spread of the World Wide Web in the computer field and gave birth to a new computer industry - the Internet.

"Hong Kong has been connected to the Internet for several years. I wonder when we will also be able to access the Internet."

In the evening, Li Qingfeng was bored, so he turned on his computer and logged into the forum that Liu Guangmin and his friends had created. The first post that caught his eye was this one.

Seeing that there were many replies to this post, Qingfeng Li curiously clicked on it to check out the netizens' replies.

"This broken LAN can't do anything except chatting. The Internet is developing rapidly abroad, and we are left far behind."

"If you ask me, I blame Qingfeng Li. He doesn't know how to hide his shortcomings. China hasn't even connected to the international network yet, so why did he create the World Wide Web? Isn't that just providing a channel for foreigners to develop? He's really brainless."

"That's true. I just came back from a study trip abroad. The World Wide Web is very popular overseas. Even companies like IBM and Compaq have set up their official websites on the World Wide Web. Many companies are researching the World Wide Web."

"Alas, reform and opening up have been going on for thirteen years, and today's young people have forgotten the country's education and have thrown the collective interests behind their heads for their own interests."

"."

Looking at the comments on the forum, Li Qingfeng was so angry that he threw his mouse. These keyboard warriors know nothing. If it weren't for me, would the World Wide Web not exist? They just cursed as soon as they opened their mouths.

At that time, Li Qingfeng rolled up his sleeves, picked up the keyboard and started working. The sound of keyboard tapping could be heard in the bedroom.

Li Qingfeng passionately wrote a short composition in beautiful Chinese. Just as he published it, a message popped up in the lower corner of his desktop indicating that he had received a message from the chat room.

When I clicked on it, I saw someone sending a message in the chat room inside the institute.

"Teacher Li, please stop cursing on the forum. Everyone is watching us. It has a bad influence."

When seeing a message sent out with a visitor code, Li Qingfeng was stunned. How did this person know that I was arguing with someone on the forum?

Of course, such a thing could not be admitted. Li Qingfeng hesitated for a moment and sent a question mark.

"No, I haven't read the forum today."

Soon after this message was sent, a new message was refreshed in the chat room: "Teacher Li, everyone knows your forum name."

Li Qingfeng, who was sitting in front of the screen, quickly opened the forum to check his nickname. When he saw the name "Li Daxia", Li Qingfeng slapped his forehead in annoyance.

Damn it, I forgot to change my name when I was cursing.
Li Qingfeng quickly changed the forum name, reopened the chat room, and said as if nothing had happened: "What? I changed my name two days ago. Who used my name to curse people?"

"Haha, Teacher Li, don't tell these kinds of lies to kids. No one will believe them."

After this sentence appeared in the chat room, many comments from users with visitor numbers soon appeared on the screen.

"Yes, Mr. Li, if you want to scold someone, just scold them. There is no need to make excuses."

"Yeah, I often curse people on forums, so what's the big deal?"

"I just saw Teacher Li's style."

"The insults were so filthy that they completely overturned my previous understanding of Teacher Li."

Qingfeng Li: "."

Looking at the anonymous ridicule in the chat room, Li Qingfeng tapped his toes on the ground in embarrassment.

In order to stop seeing these sarcastic words, I simply closed the chat room and thought, out of sight, out of mind.

The hardware at that time was immature and the memory was insufficient, so the chat room could not use operations like banning, kicking people out, and disbanding the group like the QQ groups of later generations.

You can’t even see the number of people in a group chat in the chat room. If you don’t want to see the comments in the chat room, you can only close the chat room.

After putting the two children to sleep, Hu Jiabao returned to the bedroom and saw Li Qingfeng looking at the computer screen angrily. He asked curiously, "Who offended you? Why are you so angry?"

"It's ok, the game is lost"

Li Qingfeng naturally would not tell anyone about the embarrassing incident of being teased by others. He waved his hand and made up an excuse.

After hearing that the game was lost, Hu Jiabao did not continue to ask questions. He changed into pajamas and stared at the wall in a daze with a worried look on his face.

Li Qingfeng turned off his computer and went to bed. Seeing Hu Jiabao's worried look, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you? What are you thinking about?"

"I'm just worried about my parents. It's been raining heavily at home for seven or eight days in a row. I'm worried that it will turn into a flood," Hu Jiabao said worriedly with a frown.

Li Qingfeng carefully recalled the natural disasters in the 98s. It seemed that there was only one flood in 91. Now it is only , and this heavy rain should not cause floods.

After recalling everything and confirming that nothing would happen this year, Qingfeng Li comforted her, "It shouldn't be a big deal. The country hasn't issued a news alert yet, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

"I hope so"

Hu Jiabao nodded, the worry on his face not diminishing in the slightest.

In the following days, Hu Jiabao paid close attention to the rainfall in the south and called home every day to ask about their safety.

On the twelfth day of the heavy rain, when Hu Jiabao called home again in the evening, he found that the phone at home was not connected.

After asking around, Hu Jiabao learned that the long-distance telephone lines were interrupted due to rising water levels in Jiangsu Province due to heavy rain, and his worry became even more intense.

I was restless every day and kept asking people about news from the south.

This heavy rain lasted for more than ten days. At first everyone thought it was just an ordinary rainy day, but it turned out to be a continuous rain for several days.

The rainfall is getting heavier and heavier, with Jiangsu and Anhui provinces experiencing the heaviest rainfall. The rainfall in just fifteen days has exceeded that of the entire year in previous years.

After raining for so many days, the authorities finally noticed something was wrong and realized that a flood was coming. For several days in a row, the central government issued orders to all regions to prepare for emergency rescue.

Heavy rain fell day and night, and the water level of the Qinhuai River in Jiangsu Province and the Chuhe River in Anhui Province rose meter by meter. The water of the Qinhuai River poured into Jinling, and many towns in Jinling became a vast ocean. The flood was like an out-of-control beast, tearing at buildings and people everywhere.

"A total of 18 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities were hit by floods in East China, and five provinces and autonomous regions suffered serious floods. The central government has dispatched troops to the disaster areas for disaster relief."

Li's family, Li Qingfeng's entire family, sat in front of the TV, watching the news report on the disaster in East China.

Listening to the sound coming from the TV, Li Qingfeng frowned. What was going on? Why hadn't he heard of the East China flood? The 98 flood control propaganda was so intense in later generations, but why was there no mention of the 91 flood at all?

The heavy rain causing this flood has not stopped yet, and the two provinces with the heaviest rainfall are both related to the Li family.

Hu Jiabao is from Jiangsu Province, and the nanny Cai Genhua is from Anhui Province. When the news played the video sent back from the disaster area, Hu Jiabao was the first to lose control of his tears and burst into tears, followed by the nanny Cai Genhua.

When the two children saw that their mother and their elder sister who was greeting them were crying, they started crying too.

Especially Chuyi, who usually hated Hu Jiabao all the time, but at this time she hugged Hu Jiabao and refused to let go. The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried on the sofa.

The disaster reports on TV, coupled with the crying in the house, gave Li Qingfeng a headache.

Suppressing his irritability, Qingfeng Li took out a pen and began to list the relief supplies needed in the disaster area in his notebook.

After writing down all the materials he could think of, he quickly walked to the phone, picked up the phone and quickly dialed: "Hello, this is Li Qingfeng, who is the highest leader on duty in the company now? Ask him to answer the phone immediately."

"There has been a flood in the mainland, and the exact extent of the disaster is still unclear. I require the Hong Kong headquarters to immediately mobilize 30 million US dollars to purchase supplies and various disaster relief equipment from all over the world. The list of supplies is as follows: compressed biscuits, canned food, drinking water, tents, blankets. You guys should hold a meeting to replenish the missing relief supplies. These supplies must be rushed to the Magic City within one month."

"Okay, that's all I have to say. Hurry up and notify Fang Wanzhen and the others to organize a disaster relief supplies procurement operation. Time is running out and results must be produced tonight."

"I'll be on the phone tonight. No matter what time you come up with a plan, you must notify me as soon as the plan is completed."

After hanging up the phone, Li Qingfeng hurried back to the TV and comforted Hu Jiabao who was crying loudly.

Cai Genhua, who was also crying, knelt down in front of Li Qingfeng after he came back and said, "Teacher Li, thank you, thank you. I kowtow to you on behalf of the people in Anhui Province who were affected by the disaster."

"Hey, Xiao Cai, what are you doing? That's what I should do, get up quickly, get up quickly"

Seeing everyone kneeling down, Li Qingfeng didn't bother to comfort Hu Jiabao, and hurriedly helped Xiao Cai up.

"Yes, yes."

The little girl looked thin and weak, but she was quite strong. Qingfeng Li had a hard time pulling her up. She kowtowed to Qingfeng Li before she got up from the ground.

Seeing the little girl's performance, Li Qingfeng was quite moved. She was a kind-hearted girl. He secretly decided to purchase more relief supplies for Anhui Province.

"Qingfeng, the Qinhuai River has flooded Jinling, and there's Taihu Lake next to Gusu. What should we do?" Hu Jiabao stopped crying, took Li Qingfeng's hand, and asked with a worried look on his face.

Li Qingfeng sighed. Natural disasters are merciless. At this moment, he could only hope that the heavy rain would stop.

"How could that be? Gusu is located at a high altitude and the Taihu Lake cannot flood Gusu. My parents will be fine."

"What if? If the rain keeps falling, will Gusu be flooded as well?"

"There's no such thing as a surprise. Why does it keep raining? It will stop eventually. Calm down first. You're not in the right state right now."

"Okay, I'm calm, I'm calm"

Hu Jiabao realized that his condition was not right at the moment. After taking a few deep breaths, he gradually calmed down.

Hu Jiabao calmed down and regained his sanity. He comforted the two children and took Li Qingfeng to the study. The couple discussed the relief supplies that needed to be purchased.

Hu Jiabao, a doctor, immediately pointed out the shortcomings of Li Qingfeng's list after reading it: "You forgot the medicines. The water sources in the disaster area are polluted. The people in the disaster area are prone to intestinal diseases, malaria and other infectious diseases. A large amount of medicine is needed to treat the diseases."

"Yes, yes, yes. I'll replenish this. I'll refill the medicine after Fang Wanzhen calls me back."

"There are also long coats, long pants and rain boots. There are many leeches in the south. Wearing long coats, long pants and rain boots can effectively protect the skin from harmful substances and reduce the probability of infection."

"Okay, okay, I'll remember that."

"besides."

The couple discussed in the study for more than half an hour and finally completed a list of supplies.

Later, he felt that the supplies on the list were not safe enough, so he called Cai Genhua in and asked her to check whether there were any supplies missing from the list.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, Li Qingfeng, who was forcing himself to stay awake, received a call from Fang Wanzhen.

On the phone, Li Qingfeng asked Fang Wanzhen to report the list of materials they had discussed in the meeting one by one.

After listening to Fang Wanzhen's report, Li Qingfeng added the medicines and other supplies that they had missed, and asked Fang Wanzhen to arrange for their purchase tomorrow, and also prepare a sum of donation funds, which should be donated as soon as possible after receiving the call for donations.

At night, Hu Jiabao didn't sleep well. He was awakened by nightmares twice, and he cried loudly each time.

In the following days, the rainfall in East China showed no sign of abating, especially in Jiangsu and Anhui provinces. It was as if there was a hole in the sky and rain was pouring down madly.

The latest news is that the water level of the Wuxi Grand Canal next to Gusu has reached 4.88 meters, 30 centimeters higher than the historical highest water level. Many river embankments have collapsed, and emergency evacuations have been launched in various places.

As roads were blocked and communications were cut off due to floods, Hu Jiabao was distressed every time he received news from his hometown. He was worried about the affected villagers and his elderly parents at home.

Seeing that she was not in good condition, Li Qingfeng personally went to the medical school to ask for leave for Hu Jiabao so that she could stay at home and rest.

On this day, Li Qingfeng was cooking in person. When he was making soup for Hu Jiabao, someone knocked on the door.

As Cai Genhua opened the door, a familiar figure walked in.

As soon as the visitor entered the room, he said casually: "Brother, you don't know how heavy the rain is in Wuxi. I almost couldn't come back this time."

Hearing Wang Weimin's voice, Li Qingfeng poked his head out of the kitchen in surprise. When he saw that the person coming was indeed Wang Weimin, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wang Weimin, why did you come back from Wuxi?"

"That's how I got back. I saw that the situation was not good and Wuxi was about to be flooded. I ran to Shanghai overnight while I could still take the train, and tried to take a boat to Tianjin to come back."

At this point, Wang Weimin continued with a look of emotion: "Fortunately, my buddy ran fast, otherwise he would probably be soaking in the water now" (End of this chapter)
