He Qianjian stayed in cell No. 15 for a few days. The atmosphere was as eerily silent as before, but nothing happened. Even the most common snatching and fighting that occurred in other cells did not happen.
This calmness relaxed him at first, but then he couldn't help but become alert.
There is no one in prison who is easy to get along with, and He Qianjian understands this deeply.
However, these past few days, he first took advantage of meal times and exercise time to find his former cellmate in the same cell and ask him if there was any special news in Cell 15 or someone who should not be offended. Later, he used the system to exchange some things from others to trick them into talking, but to no avail.
He Qianjian originally wanted to find Zhou Yang to inquire about it, but he didn't know when Zhou Yang was transferred to another place and he hadn't been on duty there for a long time. He couldn't find him even if he wanted to, so he had to give up.
But the atmosphere in cell No. 15 was so weird. For some unknown reason, it made him even more alert and nervous, like a frightened bird. In cell No. 14 before, he could still sleep for a few hours every night, but since the first night, he has never fallen asleep again.
For this reason, He Qianjian even asked the system for help, hoping that it could find out the reason why Room 15 was so strange through monitoring or eavesdropping. However, the system did not take his affairs seriously at all, and directly said: "I have to prevent Jiang Chen's system from finding me every day, and I have to clean up the virus repair program. Don't bother me if there is nothing else."
After five consecutive days of trying every possible method, He Qianjian still couldn't find the reason for the strangeness in Cell No. 15. He was even more afraid to fall asleep at night - the lights were turned off when he first entered here, and he couldn't see other people's faces clearly. When he woke up the next day, he realized that almost everyone here had dark circles under their eyes, and they looked ten years older than their actual age - this weirdness made him unable to sleep or eat, and he was no longer excited about changing cells.
After much thought, He Qianjian decided to find the warden and explain that he wanted to move back to Room 14 from Room 15. However, it was not easy to meet the warden. When Zhou Yang was here, he might not be able to help him meet the warden. Now that he was not here, it would be even more difficult for He Qianjian to start with other people and get someone to make the connection.
But perhaps God heard his voice. Ten days before the reading club, the warden came down to patrol during working hours and also inspected the venue for the reading club. It happened that He Qianjian had injured his arm a few days ago, and he did not go to work in the factory during this period. Instead, he was assigned to arrange the venue for the reading club.
When he saw the warden, He Qianjian acted decisively, stopped him immediately and explained his request.
The other prison guards frowned at him, and some even took out their batons, angrily scolding him for being blind and saying they would teach him a lesson. After the warden tried to stop them, he just said coolly: Prison is not the outside world, changing cells requires a reason, give me one.
He Qianjian naturally had no reason. Did it count as his roommates being too quiet?
He could only watch the opportunity slip away. Just when he thought he might be able to survive these ten days and wait for the time to escape from prison, a turning point occurred.
——There was a middle-aged man in their cell who had been unable to sleep for days on end. He finally couldn’t hold on any longer and fainted. The prison infirmary was unable to treat him, so he was released on medical parole.
He Qianjian seemed to have an epiphany and instantly came up with an idea. If he could be released on medical parole, the chances of successfully escaping from prison would be higher, and he wouldn't have to wait ten days.
But in this prison, it is not easy to get medical parole for an injury, He Qianjian thought about it carefully.
…
After knowing that the system was still in He Qianjian's possession, Jiang Chen replanned and devoted all his energy to the development of the military version of Changjiang. At the same time, the launch time of the home version of Changjiang was finally confirmed to be half a month later.
"Boss, we have finished parsing all the files here. Do you have any other tasks?"
Jiang Chen was talking to someone next to him. Hearing this, he turned around with a smile in his eyes: "It's okay, go back and have a rest after get off work."
"Okay." The person who spoke picked up the folder next to him and checked it. Suddenly, he remembered something and turned back and said, "However, the signal of DTW001 we captured recently is getting weaker and weaker. Does it prove that Changjiang has the upper hand?" Ever since they saw the code name of He Qianjian's system in the decrypted file, everyone in the institute has called it that.
"Not necessarily." The speaker was Shi Fengyue. He said lazily, "The weaker the signal, the stronger its shielding ability may be."
"We can't rule out this possibility." Another researcher joined in the conversation: "Although DTW001 seems to be a little weaker than Changjiang every time, it manages to escape every time, and I think its intelligence is not weaker than Changjiang. Maybe it's about the same, right, Changjiang?"
Changjiang: "DTW001's intelligence index is 77.89%, and my intelligence level is 78%. Judging from the data, my intelligence level is higher than it."
"I also think you're more intelligent. Maybe the next time you fight, you two can have a fight. The one with the bigger vocabulary is definitely more intelligent."
Changjiang: “Yes, but it’s not necessary.”
The researcher laughed loudly, then seemed to be thinking about something: "Boss, who on earth created DTW001? If it's just about intelligence, we have the Yangtze River, so it's not surprising. But its other abilities are too strange. I asked my friend who studies quantum mechanics before, and he gave a possibility, but the possibility of this possibility being realized on Earth is zero."
This topic has been discussed countless times in the institute, but every time we have some free time or think about it, we will discuss it again without getting tired of it.
With Changjiang as an example, He Qianjian's system, which was different from the technology of this era, was easily accepted by them. However, how DTW's other capabilities operate remains a mystery, so its origin is even more curious.
Jiang Chen: "Isn't this the answer we are looking for now?"
The researcher nodded, packed up his things, stood up and said with a smile: "I'm going to get off work first. Tomorrow is a holiday. Boss, you guys should leave early later."
Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Goodbye."
Tomorrow is Labor Day. The country has seven statutory holidays. It is naturally impossible for everyone in the institute to have such a long holiday, so except for the researchers who are on shift to record data, everyone else can have three days off.
Jiang Chen has already figured out how to arrange these three days.
"Boss, I'm leaving too."
"The data has been rechecked, and there is no problem. I am leaving too."
"Goodbye, Boss."
Jiang Chen collected his thoughts and said goodbye to his colleagues who were leaving one after another. In a blink of an eye, he and Shi Fengyue were the only ones left in the laboratory.
"They're all gone."
Shi Fengyue turned sideways and looked at Jiang Chen, with one hand on the back of the chair and the other hand casually placed on the table, his posture was leisurely, with an ambiguous smile brewing in his eyes.
Jiang Chen tapped his fingers on the front panel, his eyes focused on the computer screen, and hummed casually as a reply.
"So cold?" Shi Fengyue raised an eyebrow and leaned closer to him and said, "When dealing with colleagues, you always remind them to be safe and say goodbye to them with a smile, but you ignore your boyfriend."
Jiang Chen stopped his fingers and turned his head. The distance between their noses was less than two centimeters. He was not affected at all. His eyes curved a little and a smile spread out: "So sour?"
"Would you like to try it?" Shi Fengyue narrowed his dark eyes, pinched his chin and bit his lower lip.
Jiang Chen's mouth curled up, and he finally let go of his hands on the keyboard. He raised his hands to hook them around his neck, turning from passive to active, and thrust his long tongue straight in.
In the quiet laboratory, the only sounds that could be heard were the sudden deepening of breathing and the ambiguous sound of water.
When they separated, both of them were a little out of breath, but their expressions were satisfied.
"Come on, I'll take you home after dinner."
Shi Fengyue stood up, picked up his coat, and reached out to pull Jiang Chen up.
Jiang Chen checked the laboratory, said goodbye to Changjiang, and the two left together.
While eating, Shi Fengyue pretended to be casual and said, "I have three days off, how are you going to plan it?"
"Spend time with my parents." Jiang Chen concentrated on shaving fish bones without looking up: "Chen Xu and Huo Bo also said that they haven't been together for a long time, so they might have a meal together."
"Hmm, then what?"
"Maybe I should go to the old house." Jiang Chen cut the fish into two pieces, put half into Shi Fengyue's bowl, and ate the other half himself: "I've been too busy recently and haven't been back for a long time. It just so happens that He Qianyang will be back too, so I have to go and see him."
Shi Fengyue ate the fish, put down his chopsticks, folded his arms and looked at him, his chin slightly raised, his features a little tense: "That's all?"
Jiang Chen picked up another piece of fish, lowered his eyes and shaved his thorns, hiding the smile and narrowness in his eyes, and said in a puzzled tone: "It's just three days of vacation, what else can it be?"
Shi Fengyue: "It was well arranged. In three days, I planned to spend time with my family, friends, and the elderly. It was very reasonable."
The corner of Jiang Chen's mouth twitched, and he suppressed the laughter that almost escaped from his throat, and coughed twice: "I think so too, but it seems that I always feel like I missed someone."
Shi Fengyue snorted coldly: "Maybe he is not an important person, otherwise how could he have missed it."
Jiang Chen nodded seriously, and when he caught a glimpse of Shi Fengyue's gloomy face from the corner of his eye, he finally couldn't help laughing out loud.
Shi Fengyue narrowed his eyes: "Funny?"
Jiang Chen quickly shook his head, but the smile on his face betrayed him.
Seeing the face of the person opposite him getting darker and darker, he finally stopped laughing and started to coax him: "I arranged all the arrangements just now in two days, and left one day for the person who missed it."
Shi Fengyue's tense expression relaxed slightly, and the air pressure around him finally rose a little: "Who did you miss?"
"Hmm..." Jiang Chen pretended to think, and when he saw his eyes sweeping over, he smiled and said, "Three days, one day for family, one day for friends, and one day for--"
Jiang Chen dragged out the words, Shi Fengyue's eyebrows twitched, and he met his smiling eyes.
"Someone I like."
Shi Fengyue's mouth corners unconsciously raised, he tried to suppress it, but couldn't help but chuckled.
