Life of the Cave People
Fan Siwen, who originally intended to make time, was brought to her post very punctually by Chen Lili.
Due to the change of work location and the limited space, Mo Yang reassigned workspaces for several people.
He stood alone in front of a centrifuge, while Fan Siwen continued to stare at the computer screen, performing data calculations. The young man and Chen Lili were practicing their skills together in front of the artificial sun.
This division of labor is fair enough, since Mo Yang and Chen Lili came later and should have a better understanding of the entire experiment. Moreover, they can better utilize their strengths in their respective fields. However, it is also unfair, because from Fan Siwen's perspective, the division of labor is really uneven. But in terms of efficiency, Mo Yang thinks it is truly twice as effective with half the effort.
In the morning, before I had even finished half of it, Fan Siwen came to complain about the unfair treatment.
Since neither of the two people on the other side were in front of the equipment, Fan Siwen was completely hanging on Mo Yang.
"Professor, Professor, look at me, I'm exhausted."
As she spoke, she stretched out both hands for Mo Yang to see.
Mo Yang ignored him, threw himself down, and continued with his calculations.
"If you're tired, go rest for a while. You're a grown man, do I need to teach you how to be lazy?"
"That's not what I mean, I mean..."
"Don't even think about the equipment breaking down again. Last time, we had to bring in a foreign expert to fix it. This place is far from the central government, who's going to come and fix it for you?"
"What are you saying? Don't try to pin this on me."
"If you don't get away from me, I'll report you directly and make you pay for the equipment."
That saying still holds true: you can mess with someone, but you can't mess with their money. Fan Siwen jumped away immediately.
Mo Yang's lips twitched slightly as he watched the person leave.
"Professor, could you please get someone to install internet for us? We're so incredibly bored. At this rate, even good people will go crazy."
"Doesn't this device have a network connection?"
"Not this website."
"What, you're going fishing?"
"I'm a law-abiding citizen, I don't fish. I want a net that I can use for gaming."
"You should learn from astronauts. They can stay in space for years without getting bored. Go get some books and study them. When you come out of space, you'll dazzle everyone."
"I wasn't an astronaut to begin with, so why should I follow in their footsteps and take their jobs?"
"If you're really bored, go find your dad and have him send you back. Doesn't he have the ability to do that?"
"Don't mention him. He'll be so happy when I'm not around."
After saying that, Fan Siwen seemed to suddenly have a flash of inspiration, his mind suddenly cleared, and his eyes lit up.
He grabbed his phone and ran away.
Just then, Mo Yang and Chen Lili returned. Seeing that this person looked like he had won five million, they asked Song Yize, puzzled, "Professor, what's wrong with him?"
"I don't know, maybe he got too excited about the data and went off to enjoy it secretly."
"Oh." After listening to Song Yize's analysis, Mo Yang didn't take it to heart and continued with what he had just been doing.
In the evening, after finishing what they were doing, the group returned to their residences. After the other two left, Fan Siwen secretly pulled Song Yize aside and said, "Professor, I have something to tell you."
"Why does everything have to be done in such a secretive way?"
"I had someone install an external network."
"Are you kidding me! This was a private project to begin with, and now people know about it..."
"Shh..." Fan Siwen put her hand on the bridge of her nose, interrupting him, "No one will know that I set the IP address in L country. Their country is very small, and no one will suspect anything."
After saying that, he looked at Mo Yang's reaction and asked, "Do you want to use it?"
They were still petty thieves.
If it were anything else, Mo Yang would definitely refuse, but this is an external website, which is very attractive to him. He still has unfinished business to complete.
Mo Yang initially wanted to reject Fan Siwen's offer, but he swallowed his words back.
The moment he connected to the internet, Mo Yang thought to himself, "It's really good."
These are two people secretly surfing the internet behind everyone else's backs. On the other side, two people couldn't sleep, bumped into each other outside, and agreed to chat. They came to a place they hadn't been to much during the day, and when they saw this spot, they both felt it was a treasure trove.
"Are you getting used to it here?" The young boy helped Chen Lili brush away the loose sand that had fallen to one side, and then wiped clean a long stone block that was visible in his line of sight.
The girl sat down.
The boy sat down next to the girl, one person's distance away.
"I wasn't used to it at first, but I'm fine now."
"I brought some astronomy-related books. If you get bored, you can come and get them from me."
"How could you..."
"Why did you bring a book? I just casually put it in my pocket to pass the time, but who knew it would turn out so well?"
The topic of their sudden relocation was too heavy, and both of them lowered their heads in unison.
“Actually, if you think about it, things aren’t as bad as we imagine,” the young man looked up at Chen Lili. “At least, we don’t have to work overtime anymore, we don’t have to do hard labor under other people’s noses, we don’t have to watch our boss’s face anymore, and we don’t have to be punished. At least our mentor is good, even though he has a lot of bad habits.”
"You were secretly talking badly about your advisor." The girl laughed when she heard this.
"It's okay, he can't hear me anyway, and even if he could, he couldn't do anything to me."
Mo Yang, who was working here, suddenly sneezed for no apparent reason.
"I heard that your previous project was very tiring, and you often had to stay up all night." After saying that, Mo Yang changed the subject.
"It's alright, it's just a military-related project, you know what I mean."
"Yes, they are all classified, but just thinking about it makes me feel that you have worked so hard. Fortunately, we are now half free."
At this point, the girl's emotions resurfaced.
Do you think we can see the outcome of what we're doing now?
The girl's voice was faint, and it was impossible to discern the true meaning behind it, but just from the words, Mo Yang could already sense the bottomless depth of her heart.
"Don't worry, there is hope in everything that is moving forward. Perhaps the light of hope will not come so quickly, but at least we should have a devout faith in it."
"You sound more like Versailles now."
"Why bring him up? Don't mention him, it'll spoil the mood."
The girl smiled.
"Do you have any hobbies?" the young man asked, changing the subject again.
The girl thought about it seriously, "Yes, I did when I was in school, but I rarely did it after graduation. I spend most of my time working."
"What did you like to do when you were in school?"
“When I look at the stars, I like to use the school’s Harper Telescope to look at distant galaxies. Each twinkling star is like a homeland that is not far away from us. They may not have the conditions for human life, but they may be the homeland of other races.” Feeling that she had gone off on a tangent, Chen Lili brought the topic back closer. “When I was little, I loved looking at the stars so much that I chose to study astronomy without thinking when I grew up.”
“That’s great. You really have a perspective that others don’t have. The way you see the world is so romantic.” Mo Yang put his hands together on his lap and looked up at the sky as if there were stars in the sky. “This is a mid-latitude zone. The starry sky here must be very beautiful. We will definitely be able to see the stars soon.”
As the boy's sweet voice rang out, the girl seemed to begin to dream about the future.
The people next door would never have imagined that these two people would start dating on their very first day of work.
It wouldn't have been so bad without internet, but once he had internet access, Mo Yang, who had just finished his part-time job, was bored and thought he'd go online to check out what was happening in the outside world. Little did he know that he'd discovered his own big secret.
"It is reported that an astrophysicist who was just nominated for the Nobel Prize was declared missing by the police on November 3. The specific details of his disappearance are still unknown." This media report was prominently displayed at the top of a well-known website.
What's this?
You wouldn't believe it until you see it; it's truly astonishing.
He had only been gone for less than two days when the internet sentenced him to death. Not only that, but they even created a death certificate and an online altar.
What is this?
What is this?
The stories and scenes were simply incredible, leaving Mo Yang utterly astonished.
He never imagined that one day he would be able to attend his own funeral, especially one held by so many strangers.
It sounds utterly absurd. In 2025, an era before even uploading, there are already digital graveyards? It's ridiculous.
However, there is one thing that Mo Yang doesn't need to worry about: he is not afraid that no one in the world will know of its existence.
Even if he were to actually report to the King of Hell one day, the only question he would be asked is why he was late, not who he is.
There must be a joy and a sorrow, which sounds fair enough.
Mo Yang put aside his leisure time, switched pages, and sent the document he had just finished to the other party.
Let's get down to business while we have internet access, just in case, right? Making money is important.
After a flurry of activity, Mo Yang finally collapsed. He could only say that traveling back in time was his only option now; he absolutely couldn't bring himself to go back and resurrect.
Lying in bed, unable to sleep, I kept thinking about the PowerPoint presentation I'd just finished. I hadn't expected that in just one month, this company's implementation trial would already be more than halfway complete. At this rate, once they've finished the remaining 50%, they'll be very close to fully entering the market.
Time is running out for him. Although the company has offered him very satisfactory compensation so far, he doesn't want that situation to repeat itself.
