The next day, after a sincere exchange of technical terms, Aunt Susan finally admitted the judgment of the young nobleman, and found her home with the resentment that rushed straight to the palace.
Since then, Xu Le, a combat hero of the Federation, has begun his long career as an illegal assembly worker in the slums of the imperial capital, using the brains of mechanics who design mecha to design the wiring of rudimentary players, and using the fingers of repairing mecha to install those shoddy imitation components, accompanied by dim lights and dim moonlight, night and night.
"Here is a six-jumper, the sensitivity value of the power supply induction disconnect switch must be adjusted smaller, according to the voltage stability of this block, if it is according to the original design, I am afraid that it will be restarted thirty times to watch a movie."
"This yellow silicon chip box is the decoder stabilization valve, the most critical thing for the whole player is the decoding device, there are professionals responsible for flashing the software, we don't care, but we can expand the transmission rate of the storage channel as much as possible."
"If the decoding rate can be hard decoded, of course, the effect is much better than soft decoding, but the problem is that even if it is to encroach on the computing frequency of the main chip, a special hardware device is still needed, and the price is not very clear to me, which will probably account for seven percent of the cost."
Xu Le explained to the mother and son beside him, while quickly flipping ten ordinary fingers, easily and quickly assembled the player in front of him, and then put it in the basket on the side.
Aunt Susan's eyes widened, and she suddenly realized that she had mistaken this poor young nobleman, this hands-on level can be compared to a skilled skilled worker, thinking of what hard decoding this guy just mentioned, she scratched her head and asked in a rough voice: "I don't understand these technical terms, but if you can make the high-definition picture smoother, the cost of seven percent shouldn't be a big problem." ” "Brother, your work is so beautiful, I can't learn it."
Aunt Susan's son, Paul, was on leave to-day, and had rushed home in the ghetto from the Second University, and like his mother, the lad was extremely kind-hearted and full of compassion, and never objected to his mother's move to take in the exiled nobleman.
Today, Paul wanted to learn from this young exiled nobleman how to assemble a machine, so as to make his mother's life easier, but he did not expect that the ten smart fingers of the young exiled nobleman greatly dampened his self-confidence.
Xu Le laughed, showed a mouthful of neat white teeth, and said, "I have some talent in this area. ” Although it is only the simplest assembly process, with the help of that gifted exiled aristocrat, the pirated audio and video player produced by Aunt Susan's small courtyard is more stable, smoother, clearer than other competitors' players, and more importantly, the bitrate is incredibly strong.
With a good surname, the player assembled by Aunt Susan gradually became famous in the market "industry", and there were more and more repeat customers, and even some housekeepers in the aristocratic mansion in the central area of the city came to buy it for their little masters, and it is said that those young aristocrats were completely addicted to the perfect restoration effect of this set of players for three-dimensional love action movies, and they couldn't dial themselves, and their hands were sore As business got better and better, and more and more money was earned, Aunt Susan simply took out a large amount of money to bribe the market management office and those vicious ruffians, rented a small store in the market, hired a middle-aged female salesman, and officially bid farewell to the unstable 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 is becoming more and more abundant, the hearty laughter of the aunt is increasing, and Paul is going home more and more often, but Xu Le has been staying quietly in the attic and has not stepped out of the courtyard.
It was windy and rainy outside, and the Imperial people's search for him certainly did not relax, and he began to ask Aunt and Paul about the movement outside from time to time, but he did not try to go out the door.
The cold ice rain gently knocked on the window, and the small courtyard that had paid the heating bill this year was as warm as spring, and the three people who had finished dinner began to play cards in the attic to pass the time, which had become a routine program in the small courtyard.
Playing the flower card on Imperial South Road, the quiet attic sounded from time to time the laughter of the aunt and the voice of Paul's chagrin, Xu Le smiled and played cards with the mother and son, but he knew very well in his heart that this was the aunt and the son who were worried that they would be claustrophobic in the attic for too long.
Paul lost this game, the young college student rubbed his brown hair in annoyance, and began to shuffle the cards, at this moment, Aunt Susan suddenly said: "You don't have to worry about implicating us, the people in this neighborhood we live in have always only taken care of their own family's 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 documents, there is no three-dimensional image of you in the noble roster, maybe those officials and old men have long forgotten about you, an inconspicuous little guy."
Aunt Susan looked into his eyes seriously, "You can't hide in the attic for the rest of your life, you often look blankly out of the courtyard these days, I know you want to go, but Aunt wants to say that if you want to go, it's best to go when you are sure to go." ” Paul also stopped shuffling his hand, looked at Xu Le and frowned and said: "Brother, there are also a lot of speculations in the school about the truth of this rebellion, Mom and I have asked you many times, but you refuse to say, naturally there is a reason why it is inconvenient to say, but Mom is right just now, you 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 very seriously.
The city with winter rain is like a dilapidated building in a slum shrouded in smoke, which is all the pictures that Xu Le leans on the window and observes, although this small courtyard is so warm, but he does not belong here after all, and he always has to leave.
He didn't know what kind of situation the hometown federation was in now, whether the troops had attacked, whether the seven groups of those guys had already brought guns to the battlefield, and what kind of situation those dear friends were in.
On the third day after that conversation, he carefully dyed his black hair hazel with the hair dye his aunt had bought, carefully repaired his eyebrows, put on the color-changing contact lenses Paul bought, and walked out of the courtyard for the first time.
Gradually, the partners who knew Aunt Susan well in the market, and the few neighbors in the streets, knew that Susan's family had come to her poor relatives.
The people living in the Tianjing Star Capital City have a natural sense of pride, even if they live in a slum, it is also a slum where you can see the majestic palace walls from a distance, a slum where you can feel the breath of His Majesty up close, and it is still a great place in the eyes of the countrymen In this quiet life, the cold and rainy winter has passed, the green and charming spring has arrived, and the life of the people in the slums has been repeated and repeated, and nothing seems to have changed.
The same is true of Xu Le's life, he assembles a pirated player in the attic, chats with Aunt Susan about her touching past at night, and occasionally points out Paul's difficult problems in the university's mechanical department, which is as smooth as an unflowing river and an unflooded 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, it was impossible for him to leave through the normal way, and it was impossible for the ordinary shipping system of the empire to get close, so he could only try to get close to the underground society of the empire, and wanted to use the smuggling channels of those dark forces to leave this planet, but before his plan could start, he was stunned to find that the original road had been completely broken long ago.
It was only through the small talk of the neighbors and the discussion that Paul brought back from the school that he understood the whole story.
A few months ago, the Emperor suddenly sent a cold-hearted final notice to the underground world of Tianjing, ordering the dark forces to immediately suspend all smuggling operations.
This is rarely the case in history, because those in power know very well that these underground worlds are the existence of the entire empire that cannot be completely erased from the roots, and these smugglers of the underground world often represent the hidden 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 those members of the royal family and the great nobles, the Tianjing Star Underground World did not immediately stop this request of the military department.
What followed was a bloody massacre that sent shudders through the entire Empire's underworld.
All the smuggling ships that dared to leave the surface of the planet were indifferently destroyed by the military fleet before they could break through the atmosphere, and the battleships that were bombarded with thousands of guns seemed to care nothing about what cargo they carried on board and which family they belonged to.
The largest smugglers were secretly arrested by the Royal Anti-Smuggling Division on the same day, and no one saw them again, and their smuggling base was turned into a pile of broken bricks woven by countless corpses under the powerful firepower of the emperor.
The most shocking part of the rumor was that the royal family members and nobles behind the smuggling merchants were unceremoniously invited back to the dark courtroom by the officials of the Royal Intelligence Service, and no nobles dared to resist, because it was said that His Highness personally led the team.
The vast majority of people in the imperial society did not understand why the royal family would think of bloodbathing the underground world and spending so much effort to fight smugglers, and some people linked this incident to the recent noble rebellion, but one person knew very well in his heart that all this was just to cut off the possibility of his escape.
Huai Cao Shi, you are really ruthless.
Xu Le walked in the muddy vegetable field, bargaining with the muddy vegetable vendors, smiling and putting the fish in the basket, suddenly, he raised his head and squinted at the majestic palace in the distance, and his heart was helpless and disappointed.
