Chapter 51



The next day, Si Lan woke up and acted like a normal person.

She was not joking. She demolished the wooden house she lived in that day and rebuilt it next to Pei Wen to carry out the supervision work to the end.

Pei Wen was a little uneasy because of the conversation yesterday. Seeing her busy all the time, he stared at her motionlessly.

But Si Lan was very calm, and there was no sign of any difference from usual. Pei Wen watched her and began to doubt himself: Was he being too sentimental?

He didn't give up and kept watching from the side.

So when Si Lan finished, she looked over helplessly: "What are you looking at?"

Pei Wen hesitated, wanting to speak but not knowing how to say it. After hesitating for a long time, he just shook his head and said, "It depends on you. No way?"

Si Lan frowned. She couldn't sync with his train of thought, and she was too lazy to ask any further questions.

After the house was rebuilt, she saw him still squatting there motionless, so she nodded towards the house and asked, "Are you free?"

Pei Wen: "You won't let me be busy."

"Come here then. Let's continue with yesterday's question."

Pei Wen's eyes lit up, thinking she was talking about the last question from last night: "Really? Are you really going to talk about it?"

Si Lan looked puzzled. "Didn't I say there was a problem with the formula? This time it's real. Come and take a look."

Pei Wen: “…”

My enthusiasm instantly dropped by half, but luckily I was curious about what the problem was, so I turned around, took my notebook with me, and listened to her.

It was the same formula she had found out yesterday.

When she first saw it yesterday, she only had a subtle feeling, but because she had more important things to do last night, she didn't pay much attention to it.

Later, when she went back, she re-examined it and determined that it was missing several elements. The results calculated according to this logic would deviate more and more from the actual situation.

After listening to her explanation, Pei Wen stared at the formula in silence for a while.

Finally, he nodded and admitted frankly: "It was me."

Si Lan returned the notebook to him: "Then you continue to improve it. I will leave it alone. I still have things to do."

Pei Wen took the notebook and couldn't hide his admiration: "Now you can even do my job."

Si Lan smiled, her fingertips marked a limited area around him, and then she pointed: "Stay still."

What else could Pei Wen say? They were already living next door to each other, so they might as well stay put.

Si Lan distributed the list given yesterday to some people whose experience points were already low, so that they could verify it while also accumulating some experience.

Apart from her intelligence, which is close to 5000, there are no other numerical items that can be quickly broken through.

Her strength increased quickly at first because she often went hunting at that time.

But later on, she had too many things to take care of, and the residents had already taken the initiative to help her share the hunting work, and now it was impossible for her to catch up in a short time.

Not to mention socializing, she will never be able to put effort into this aspect in her life.

Management is not the main area of ​​development at present. Intelligence is the only thing left. She thought about it for a while last night and she thought Pei Wen should arrive faster than her.

So strictly speaking, she has no area to focus on for a breakthrough right now, and she has put her energy back into the factory.

This place has a large population and has made considerable progress. Now the most important assembly lines are almost completed.

Once this is completed and a few auxiliary small machines are built, the factory can officially start operation and cables can be included in the production plan.

Si Lan had automated production skills, so all they had to do was make the first prototype. Seven days later, the entire set of machines Si Lan had put into the production line was finally complete.

Everyone stopped all work that day and gathered around her to see if the machine could be used like other small machines that were automatically produced.

Si Lan found enough space and carefully moved the machine out.

As soon as the machine arrived, everyone rushed over to check the connection status of each part first, and then carefully powered it on.

When everyone saw that everything was running smoothly without any problems, they finally felt relieved and cheered.

"Oh my god, can we finally free our hands? Here's our chance to win without doing anything?!"

"This 5,000 reward is quite interesting. Did the professor get the formula right? This factory is officially open now, so I'm going to go gain some experience points. I also want to enter the era of automation!"

Si Lan looked in the direction of Pei Wen's house and replied, "It should be soon."

Everyone's anticipation was heightened, and during this time, someone suggested, "Let's hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new factory."

"Although this kind of ceremony isn't really necessary in the game, this is the first factory we've all worked so hard to build. It's not excessive to celebrate, right?"

The people of Country T have always attached great importance to this sense of ritual. Even though technology is now at the forefront, these traditional customs are still continued.

Si Lan had no objection, but she felt that it was not completely completed yet. She was very curious about the significance of cutting the ribbon at such an awkward moment.

Li Duanqing, who has considerable experience in factory operations, replied with a smile, "It's called a pre-launch ceremony. Anyway, we already have the machine running, right?"

Si Lan never thought that she could have such a title.

However, everyone has been too tired recently, working overtime day and night. It would be nice to have some programs to celebrate and relax after finishing one busy job.

She nodded. "Alright, let's do it. I'll put those assembly line machines back into production today. In exchange, everyone can have a day off."

Everyone laughed and thanked him, and immediately went to make various preparations.

This kind of celebration usually has nothing to do with Si Lan, so she doesn't care about it. After filling her production queue, she goes to find Pei Wen.

But everyone who was taking a break didn't intend to keep the two busy, so they pulled them away from work and took them out to play.

In the evening, everyone prepared everything needed for the ribbon-cutting ceremony. The red ribbon used for the ribbon-cutting ceremony was made using the factory's new textile machine.

For the roast pig, we specially go to the nearby hills to find a suckling pig. We start processing and roasting it carefully at night, and it can be served fresh out of the oven in the early morning of the next day.

That night, everyone came up with several programs, and for the first time, people from several camps didn't have to worry about anything and gathered together to watch everyone's performances.

Although everyone's performance had not been rehearsed much, the long-lost relaxed atmosphere still made everyone enjoy the show.

Tao Zhenzhen and a group of children also performed archery. In order to make it easier for them to learn hunting, Si Lan had specially made small, light short bows suitable for children. Now everyone has practiced very well. This performance won unanimous praise from the audience and won the first place in the performance tonight.

The camp was full of joy, and the observers from the infrastructure team were also very happy.

So before everyone left, the observer set off a meteor shower for them as a "gift", which brought the atmosphere to a climax again.

The atmosphere in the new factory camp infected Si Lan with joy.

Since entering the infinite flow world, she has been exhausted by various challenges every day, fighting for life and death with countless opponents from all dimensions, and engaging in intrigue and deception. She really hasn't felt such a simple and lively atmosphere for a long time.

Even her eyes were gentle tonight. Even though she didn't participate in any activities, it was obvious that she was very involved throughout.

When the show was about to end, Pei Wen saw that she was still watching intently, so he couldn't help but move closer and follow her gaze. "What are you looking at? So engrossed?"

Si Lan finally regained her composure. Seeing his curious expression, she asked unhappily, "Aren't shows for people to watch? Isn't this question redundant?"

Pei Wen: "I've never seen such patience or concentration in even the most spectacular shows before. It's a bit strange."

Si Lan recalled it and rarely refuted: "That's right."

Pei Wen: "Are you in a good mood today?"

"That's not the reason."

Pei Wen really didn't understand and asked seriously, "What happened? What made you so gentle? Tell me so I can learn from you."

Si Lan: “…”

Looking at the bustling crowd, she said calmly: "Do you believe me when I say I'm moved?"

Pei Wen: “…”

Although he wanted to restrain himself, he still looked over with a look of astonishment on his face.

Si Lan was so tense that she couldn't help laughing. She shook her head and said, "No, it's still the same thing. It's good to be home."

Her going home did not simply mean going back to her own home. Pei Wen knew what she meant as soon as he heard it.

Looking at the citizens who all shared the same great homeland, he nodded as well: "That's true."

If you want to ask which country can make people feel truly at home, it must be Country T.

He changed to a more comfortable position, sat next to Si Lan, and looked up at the meteors still streaking across the sky.

"Hey, how about we make a bet?"

Si Lan asked, "What bet?"

"I bet we can spend the New Year here at most and then go back."

Si Lan looked at the crowds of people gathered in front of her, chatting, and shook her head, very confident: "There is no need to celebrate the New Year. If we move faster and focus our strength a little more, we can go back in winter."

After hearing her tone, Pei Wen immediately changed his words: "Then I'll bet with you."

Si Lan: “…”

Pei Wen: "If we win, I'll treat you to dinner at the restaurant on the top floor of the tallest building in Beijing."

Si Lan thought about the place and suddenly hesitated: "Why do I remember it was a famous couple's restaurant?"

Pei Wen was stunned for a long moment, then pretended not to know: "Really? Isn't it just an ordinary restaurant?"

Si Lan stared at him silently for a long time, her eyes full of scrutiny.

But in the end, she said nothing. She looked away and watched everyone moving things for a long time before she said calmly, "Okay, whatever you want to treat me to is fine."

Pei Wen nodded happily, and laughed foolishly for a long time before he suddenly came to his senses: Wait a minute.

This is promised...

Um? ? ? ?

The next day, the ribbon-cutting ceremony was held with great fanfare.

Si Lan, Pei Wen, Fang Xun and other leaders who took everyone on the flight naturally took on the important task of cutting the ribbon.

All the props used in today's ribbon-cutting ceremony were made in a new factory with new machines.

This feeling was even more exciting. The moment the ribbon fell, the surroundings roared with applause. Li Duanqing, the person in charge of the new factory, put down his scissors and said loudly: "I wish our new factory a grand opening and a large output!"

"I also wish us to reach the top of the game soon, complete the game quickly, and have good luck!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a light thunder suddenly sounded in the sky.

Everyone thought it was going to rain, but they heard thunder that became irregular in pitch and gradually formed a rhythm.

When everyone listened carefully, they found that the infrastructure group actually used thunder as a medium to play a piece of classical music - "Good Luck Comes" for everyone.

After the music finished, the newly improved communication station in the factory, which was still in the debugging stage, continued to type out a line of words. It read:

Congratulations on the opening of the new factory! On behalf of the entire people of Country T, the Infrastructure Team wishes Empire's first factory a smooth opening!

Thank you all for your hard work, and I wish the new factory all the best, leading the people to reach new heights and return home safely soon!

When everyone saw this, their first reaction was to run towards Si Lan with the paper in hand: "Success! Success!"

"Sister Lan! The typewriter communication station you modified was a success!!! This time, the Infrastructure Corps' words were printed out word for word. We can finally understand what they're saying!!!"
