Playing with High-Tech in the 70s

Xia Youyou, from the year 2220, drank a bottle of water given by her parents, causing her soul to leave her body and enter a four-dimensional space. She was then caught by the river of time and ine...

Chapter 154 Practical Operation

"I haven't caught up with him yet. When I do, you can go wherever you want."

Qi Siling had the foresight to embrace the little girl who was about to explode with his big hand, and used the other hand to smooth her fur, "Don't bother with him, whether you can catch him or not is another matter!"

"Yes! I'm going to complain to Sister Naru, saying that you bullied me!"

Cao An's eyebrows jumped. How could he have forgotten this? He turned around and smiled flatteringly, "Good sister, do you want to make me your sister-in-law? Then you can go to school and go home with her every day."

Xia Youyou shook her head proudly and walked out with Qi Siling. "Ah, I still think my sister is more approachable. Brother Qi, let's go pick up Sister Naru."

The couple led the way with their heads held high. Cao An scratched his head in frustration. Xiao Hai wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, following beside them without making a sound. Brother and sister, don't let the quarrel get to you!

When they arrived at the dormitory building, she happened to be coming downstairs as well. Avoiding Cao An's burning eyes, she walked hand in hand with Xia Youyou towards the teaching building.

A week later, Xia Youyou and Qi Siling finally had their practical computer class.

Following the first generation of vacuum tube computers and the second generation of transistors, the third generation was computers based on small and medium-scale integrated circuits. Xia Youyou's current goal was to develop microcomputers to catch up with foreign countries.

Yan Ke was talking at the podium with his mouth full of saliva flying. Xia Youyou and Qi Siling took the tools and started to try to operate the circuit boards, write the system, and keep up with the hardware and software.

The two of them were so engrossed in their work at the operating table that they didn't even notice the sudden silence in the classroom.

Yan Ke signaled everyone else to be quiet, slowly walked down the podium and came to the two of them.

Xia Youyou's fingers flew across the keyboard of the small computer, staring intently at the letters on the small black and white screen. She had already typed a series of words, but the screen couldn't react and they slowly appeared one by one. She watched closely for fear that the computer would crash.

I thought she was just typing randomly, but the more I read the string of letters, the more something seemed wrong.

"This is……"

Qi Siling, who was soldering a circuit board with his head down, suddenly looked up and nudged Xia Youyou, who was still typing away at the keyboard, with his elbow. The two of them then stood up and looked at Yan Ke.

"What are you two doing?" He was a little surprised. Why did it look like they were writing something? "What do you want to write?" He looked at Xia Youyou.

"Oh, teacher, I just wanted to modify the system and upgrade the memory. What a pity." She shook her head and stopped talking.

"What a pity?" This sentence whetted Yan's appetite.

"Unfortunately, the computing speed is too slow, and the computer language is too slow. I need hardware support."

Yan Ke rubbed his forehead and said, "Isn't this nonsense? This is a minicomputer." As if he had thought of something, he pointed at the two of them and said, "Come to my office after class."

The students in the classroom looked at each other, thinking that the two had caused some trouble, and turned to look at them with sympathy. Even Xu Qiang turned around and gave them a comforting look.

The couple sat down again, ignored Xu Qiang, and started doing their own things again.

After class, we went to the office together.

"How did you two know all this?" Yan Ke asked in a serious tone. The two men looked so natural that they didn't seem like spies.

"Teacher, we taught ourselves." Xia Youyou said directly without changing her expression.

Yan Ke was speechless. "Your fingers can fly after learning by yourself. Do you think I'm a three-year-old?"

Xia Youyou touched her nose awkwardly, glanced at Qi Siling who was calm beside her, rolled her eyes, and smiled, "Teacher, do you know how I got the mole on my forehead?"

Qi Siling's heart tightened, and he quickly grabbed her hand, trying to make her shut up.

She turned back with a smile, her face full of cunning, and her eyes told him not to worry, then she looked back at Yan Ke who was sitting upright.

Seeing the exchange of glances between the two, Yan Ke became increasingly curious about what she was going to say. He raised his chin slightly and said, "Tell me."

"I'm sure you've seen my file. I'm from the Red Flag Brigade in Bao City. I was abused and abandoned by my adoptive parents when I was a child, and I never went to school."

Yan Ke nodded. He did find it a bit strange, but she had a brother who was the top scholar. It was probably Cao An who taught her later. She was a genius who could learn things quickly.

Xia Youyou never expected that he would directly help her find the source. If she knew, she would probably burst out laughing.

"When I was dying in the dilapidated temple, the Buddha touched my forehead and I became spiritually intelligent." She remained calm and began to deceive.

"In a daze, the Buddha told me that I would be able to master anything I learn and achieve great things. You can go to the Red Star Brigade to check. I didn't have a mole before, and my adoptive parents made a big fuss about it. Everyone in the village knew about it."

Qi Siling lowered her head, pursed her thin lips, and didn't dare to laugh out loud.

Yan Ke saw that Qi Siling knew the truth, and what Xia Youyou said was true! His face was indescribable, his entire face wrinkled. He wanted to believe it, but he didn't dare to believe it. After more than ten years of destroying the four olds, he had long forgotten the concept of fantasy.

He frowned and stared closely at the red mole on Xia Youyou's forehead, and even slowly leaned over, wanting to get a closer look.

Xia Youyou stood calmly, her eyes firm and her serious expression left no room for doubt.

Recovering his thoughts, Yan Ke sat down again and raised his hand to signal the two of them to leave.

The two walked out of the office and calmly returned to the classroom. Xia Youyou didn't care whether Yan Ke believed it or not. She just gave him an excuse, a rationalization for her own uniqueness.

After the two of them sat down, Qi Siling glanced around the classroom, made sure no one noticed, then raised his hand and pinched her face.

"Little guy, you are so brave!"

Xia Youyou pouted in dissatisfaction, pulled his hand down, and held it under the desk. The man held it with his big hand and rubbed it in his palm.

"There has to be an explanation. What if they catch me as a spy?"

"Okay, whatever you say is right!" What can he do? Pamper her.

The two started over again. Xia Youyou stared at the letters on the small screen as they appeared one by one, slowly calculating the time to determine where the changes should be made.

At noon, before the two of them could get up to go back to eat, Yan Ke opened the classroom door with his men. Following him were several middle-aged men in work clothes. As soon as they entered, they found the two people who were getting up, guided by Yan Ke.

Qi Siling turned sideways and hid the little girl behind him, meeting the gazes of those people. But he couldn't help but worry in his heart, are they really here to arrest them as spies?

Xia Youyou shook his hand back and watched the people approach.

"Are you Qi Siling and Xia Youyou?"

"We are. What can I do for you?"

"We are from the Chinese Academy of Computer Science and would like you to come with us."

The two looked at each other, Xia Youyou curled her lips and gave him a sly smile, and the man shook his head and rubbed her little head lovingly.
