Si Lan was suddenly stunned.
Perhaps she did not expect this response. Her hand on the door handle slowly stopped, and her eyes showed a slight surprise.
The words were out, and Pei Wen suddenly felt relieved at that moment.
It was like a dam that had been blocked for a long time suddenly breaking, and the torrent rushed out. The emotions that had been deeply rooted in my heart for an unknown period of time surged forward, and there was no longer any resistance.
He actually let out a sigh of relief.
But Si Lan was not happy at all.
Staring at him, her eyes changed from surprise to a slight stagnation to gradually complexity, and her reaction was a little subtle.
"You'd better explain yourself clearly." She said in a deep voice.
Pei Wen: "What else do you want to clarify?"
"What are you reluctant to give up?"
"You. Can't you hear it?"
Si Lan paused again.
This kind of straightforwardness was indeed beyond her expectations.
She asked the question, but there was no answer to it. For a long time, they both looked at each other in silence, and the atmosphere was stagnant.
Pei Wen remained silent the entire time, quietly observing her reaction. But after seeing her remain silent for a long time, he finally lost his patience.
"Why, are you so surprised?" he asked in a low voice.
Si Lan still didn't answer, her slightly furrowed brows revealing her complicated mood.
Pei Wen felt uneasy upon seeing this. After hesitating for a while, he asked cautiously, "Can we still be friends?"
"..." Si Lan reacted this time: "What did you say?"
Pei Wen shrugged: "What if you... that's what? Then we can't be friends anymore, right?"
"Isn't there a saying that goes, once the paper between friends is broken, they can either be lovers or not even friends anymore, right?"
Si Lan raised her eyebrows: "Lover?"
Pei Wen suddenly realized: This guy, hasn't he connected these two things yet?
He hesitated again: Should he continue with that topic?
The atmosphere froze again. Finally, Pei Wen looked at Si Lan, who still had a confused look on her face, and sighed deeply.
Never mind, just take it one step at a time.
A small step today, a big step tomorrow, but not a continuous step.
This is not called being cowardly, this is called following your heart!
He waved his hands and gave up struggling: "Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything. Let's leave it like this for now."
But when he wanted to leave, Si Lan looked at him again.
Before leaving, their eyes met, and Pei Wen felt an inexplicable impulse from her thoughtful look.
Unable to help himself, he raised his hand and rubbed her head.
Si Lan: “…”
Pei Wen swore that at that moment, he could see her eyes change from calm to full of waves.
The fire wave kind.
His hand trembled and he quickly withdrew it and ran out without looking back.
Si Lan took several deep breaths and was about to close the door when Pei Wen came rushing back, clinging to the doorframe: "I forgot to tell you, good night."
Si Lan: “…”
It wasn't until Pei Wen ran a long way that she came to her senses and shouted angrily from afar: "Run slower!!!"
Noticing he was going in the wrong direction, she asked again, "Where are you going? Isn't your house next door?"
Pei Wen almost fell, and he probably didn't expect that Si Lan would care about him first in the end.
Hearing her question again, he looked back at his room, was silent for two seconds, and said, "Go get some fresh air."
Si Lan: “…”
I felt so helpless that I didn't bother to pay attention to him and just closed the door.
But Pei Wen’s previous words kept lingering in his mind.
The next day, everyone in the new factory camp went to bed early, packed their supplies and prepared to go back.
The people in this oil camp were very warm and generous. Not only did they give them all the hundreds of barrels of purified oil stored in the camp, they also sent a small team to transport the newly produced crude oil for them.
Si Lan was originally planning to move with them, but thinking about what she learned last night, she decided to take Pei Wen with her and set off to the camp they passed along the way.
The reason for going there was nothing else but to discuss cooperation. To bring as many camps as possible over, to start production and operation, and to speed up the pace of the attack.
Pei Wen was so happy to see her, a person who didn't like socializing, busying around, apparently all for himself.
But he also felt a little guilty, so he activated the president's passive skill and joined in the conversation.
Finally, when Si Lan returned to the Xinchang camp, she also brought back a large group of partners.
Just then, her team rushed over and told her, "Sister Lan, Sister Lan, we've made a breakthrough! We've made all the chips!"
When Si Lan heard this, she immediately asked, "What else is missing?"
Everyone: "Nothing is missing. Once the last panel is assembled, we can try to assemble the notebook and try running it!"
Si Lan raised her eyebrows, not without surprise: "That's really fast."
Everyone: "Because of Sister Fan's automatic production queue!"
"We later researched and found that some chip basic templates are the same, and the microcircuit only needs some minor adjustments. We asked Sister Fan to copy the template and then adjust the circuit."
"The tools used to make chips can also be replicated. We replicated the tools and brought in a group of people who were skilled and had basic skills to work on them. The speed became very fast."
Si Lan nodded: "Is the finished product confirmed to be able to be powered and have no fundamental defects?"
"Well, everything has been tested, and there's absolutely no problem with it running. Whether it can be applied to a computer depends on the next experiment."
So Si Lan asked them to keep working hard and come back to her when they could test it.
She brought some of her collaborators with her to have a detailed discussion with the factory manager, clearly communicating the current situation of both parties and the projects they could collaborate on.
A few days later, the computer team actually assembled an entire laptop.
Everyone was so excited when they saw the first computer in the game that they called Si Lan over again.
At this time, the collaborators brought by Si Lan were still in the camp.
Seeing this massive device, which is supposedly a laptop but is actually much larger than a regular notebook, I couldn't help but exclaim, "Amazing! It feels like a product of the future appearing in primitive society!"
Si Lan was also a little nervous: this was an attempt she personally led the team to make, and it was also her first attempt.
Even in the infinite flow world, she had never tried this thing, so of course she was unsure about it.
The team quickly confirmed the details and officially connected the power lines.
At the moment the power was turned on, everyone held their breath, fearing that any accident would occur.
Fortunately, the power-on process went very smoothly. After the power was turned on, everyone waited for another 5 minutes and performed leakage tests on the outer casing and all interfaces. No leakage or overload was found.
So with Si Lan's nod of agreement, the team carefully turned on the laptop.
For a moment, all the onlookers held their breath, and the scene was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
When the charging indicator light came on, everyone opened their eyes wide at the same time, wishing to cover all the pores on their bodies so that no breathing in the body would disturb this sacred moment.
When the power indicator light comes on and the laptop makes a short roar, the person who started the laptop should immediately step back to avoid any accidents that could cause harm to themselves or others.
Fortunately, although the laptop was roaring, its operation was not hindered.
Soon, the startup instructions appeared on the screen. The cursor flickered on the computer screen made of raw materials, and after a moment the screen switched to the next picture—it worked smoothly!
There was a burst of enthusiastic applause.
Everyone was still waiting nervously. After a while, the screen switched to the next picture.
This was the first generation of the notebook. Due to material and technical limitations, the program did not run very fast, so it took about a minute before everyone finally saw the long-awaited home page appear on the screen.
Success!
The laptop runs without any problems!
Everyone sat in front of the computer for a while before their excitement gradually subsided.
At this time, a person walked over and first tried to move the mouse and click.
This computer has no software yet, and everything has to be programmed and improved bit by bit by programmers.
So the initial test was just that simple.
After confirming that there were no problems with the basic operations, the team members looked at Si Lan to ask for instructions on the next step.
Si Lan looked at Pei Wen's employees, and the two programmers immediately came over and prepared to program on the spot.
"Boss, what should we do first?" they asked Pei Wen.
Pei Wen thought without hesitation: "Create a calculation program, combine the data of the infrastructure group, and calculate and summarize all the resources, behaviors, and corresponding experience points in this game."
"After you've done this, we'll see later. As long as we can achieve our goal, the process is up to you."
After saying this, he looked at Si Lan again: "Do you need to use it?"
Because of what happened the night before, even though the two of them were not strangers, their relationship was a bit subtle. Whenever they were together, there was always a strange wall of air between them.
So Pei Wen didn't dare to speak to Si Lan in the same tone and manner as before, and was extremely cautious when asking this question.
Si Lan shook her head after hearing this. "I've already put it in the automatic production queue. I'll use the one at the back. You guys can run the data first."
Pei Wen then turned to his employees and said, "Let's do this, you can get started."
The two employees started working.
While they were discussing and programming, people with relevant knowledge gathered around and gave them advice.
Seeing that they were now able to act independently, Si Lan did not disturb them and turned to report the matter to the communications station and the infrastructure team.
The infrastructure team suggested that she complete the networking work as soon as possible. In this way, communication between the infrastructure team and them might be more convenient, and they might even be able to transmit data in and out through specific means.
Si Lan thought about it, nodded in agreement, and told them: "Once we are sure we can run the data, the infrastructure team can put aside their work and focus on plan B."
"Plan B" is to find game bugs. In order to avoid detection by smart chips, they deliberately used a pseudonym.
The infrastructure group also responded quickly, saying that it was already being carried out simultaneously.
Si Lan didn't say much. Before disconnecting the contact, she specifically learned about Pei Wen's current situation and then returned to her dormitory.
The experience value strategy summarized by Pei Wen was of great help throughout the entire map.
When Si Lan and others were summarizing the experience points and skills from other sectors, a considerable number of people in Country T had already broken through the 5,000 mark of creation and unlocked a considerable automatic production queue.
At the call of the Infrastructure Corps, these people also spontaneously rushed to the new factory camp to meet up with everyone and discuss the important task of cooperative production.
The author has something to say:
Recently, my little female cat was neutered. The postoperative care was really worrying, and I haven't updated for a few days. I set a flag and strive to finish this article this month so that everyone won't have to wait any longer.
