After dinner, Chen Ci cleaned up the tableware, wiped the clean plates with kitchen paper, and put them in the cupboard.
He simply cleaned the kitchen, then tried to mop the living room floor. Finally, he stood at the entrance with his mop on his hips and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Doing housework is more tiring than he imagined.
Fortunately, Chen Ci was in very good physical condition and did not feel tired at all.
He cleaned every possible place in the house, and felt a sense of accomplishment when he stood in the living room and looked around the newly tidy rooms.
This is a whole new experience.
Chen Ci cleaned the mop and it was time to set off.
He put on his clothes, put on his mask, pulled down the brim of his hat, and headed for the station.
Half an hour later, Chen Ci got off the car on the south side of Information Processing Area No. 13.
He drove into the cave with ease and familiarity, weaving through the many low huts, found Fu Tianhe's residence, raised his hand to lift up the heavy plastic curtain, and went in.
Fu Tianhe hasn't returned from get off work yet, but he should be here soon.
Chen Ci sat on the sofa covered with clean towels, waiting quietly and patiently.
Fu Tianhe walked into the pavilion more than ten minutes later.
Seeing the familiar figure of the young man again, he was no longer as surprised as he was the last few times. Fu Tianhe put the shopping bag on the machine tool and smiled at Chen Ci, "Sorry for the wait."
The old saying shook his head.
Fu Tianhe took off his coat and took out a small individually wrapped cake from his bag: "I bought something for you, I wonder if you like it."
Chen Ci walked closer to take a look. The palm-sized cream cake was decorated with freshly cut strawberries. In Fu Tianhe's opinion, this was something an Omega would like to eat.
Chen Ci was not hungry, and he seldom ate sweets, but when Fu Tianhe washed his hands, carefully unwrapped the package and handed the cake to him, he still took it.
He lowered his eyes and stared at the cake for a few seconds, then took a gentle bite.
The cream was indeed too sweet and not delicate enough, and it could not be compared with the various snacks he ate every day.
But Chen Ci still took a second bite.
Seeing that he didn't say he didn't like it, Fu Tianhe felt relieved and went to pour water for Chen Ci. Since he realized that Chen Ci would come over suddenly from time to time, he specially bought a paper cup.
Chen Ci, who was not hungry at all, ate a piece of cake and felt a little full at the end.
"Have you eaten?" he asked Fu Tianhe.
"I ate in the company cafeteria." Fu Tianhe wiped the machine tool and recalled the progress of yesterday's teaching.
Chen Ci's learning ability is so strong that Fu Tianhe is amazed at the speed at which he accepts and understands knowledge. In just a few days, he was able to use machine tools to program parts with functions that meet Fu Tianhe's requirements.
Last night, Fu Tianhe specially took out a book he had used a long time ago, smoothed out the corners that were curled up like rotten pickles, and carefully revised it so that it would not fall apart with the slightest touch.
This was the reference book he used when he first started learning. Over the past decade, Fu Tianhe traveled across oceans, from one beacon to another, and from one residence to another, with no fixed place to live, but he always carried this book with him.
Fu Tianhe never went to school. He learned all his engineering knowledge by reading books and forming his own system. He also continued to study and deepen his knowledge through day-to-day practice.
This book that carries so many of his memories is about to be handed over to another person. Fu Tianhe feels quite emotional, but he doesn't feel reluctant to part with it.
Because Fu Tianhe knew that Jiuyue would definitely take care of it for him, at least more than he was doing now.
"This is the book I read when I first started learning." Fu Tianhe handed the book to Chen Ci, "You can read it when you get home and have nothing to do. There are notes I made inside. The handwriting may be a little blurry. If you have any questions, feel free to message me."
"Okay." Chen Ci took it. From the way the book was patched up, he could tell it was quite old. In today's world where sea flooding can hardly last for a thousand years, paper books are very precious because wood is extremely scarce.
He put the book into the small bag he was carrying, taking care not to curl the corners.
Since he started studying with Fu Tianhe, Chen Ci has found a small shoulder bag to carry with him so that he can carry some of the small parts and tools he has finished.
Fu Tianhe made a special study plan for Chen Ci. According to the schedule, he should go looking for new parts today.
Seeing that Chen Ci had not been averse to going to the garbage dump to "search for treasure" in the past few days, Fu Tianhe no longer held back and said openly, "Let's go and see if there is anything first."
Chen Ci nodded. He took out another mask from his small bag and put them on. Although it was a little difficult to breathe with two layers of cloth covering his face, it was able to basically filter out the smell of the garbage dump.
The two men carried their tools and walked along the path into the garbage dump, where there were many scavengers.
Strictly speaking, this is a temporary storage place for garbage from the No. 13 information processing area. Once a certain amount of garbage is accumulated, Cinnabar will transport the garbage to the suburban outer wall of the base for centralized processing and recycling.
Today, most of the world's land is submerged in water, and the extreme shortage of various material resources can only be alleviated as much as possible through efficient waste recycling.
So scavengers have to pick up the garbage before it is taken away.
This time, Fu Tianhe took Chen Ci to a deeper place. He seemed to be completely oblivious to the stench of the garbage dump. He turned his head and talked to Chen Ci without hesitation: "Let's go together today. Maybe we can find something good."
Chen Ci, who was regarded as a mascot by Alpha, nodded slightly.
As usual, Fu Tianhe found the obsolete equipment from the garbage mountain with his sharp eyes, pulled it out with force, and squatted on the ground to dismantle it.
Chen Ci stood by and watched, occasionally handing him tools but never doing anything himself.
Also consciously avoid places that may cause pollution.
Fu Tianhe's movements were quite skillful, and the bag was soon filled with different parts. He threw aside the discarded parts that had lost their usefulness and stood up to look for other equipment.
Searching for usable items in piles of garbage is definitely a job that requires a lot of patience and eyesight. You also have to endure the pervasive stench. Sometimes, after smelling it for too long, you can't help but vomit.
The expansion screw fell off the appliance and landed at Chen Ci's feet with a clang, still stained with oil.
Fu Tianhe was so busy dismantling the machine that he didn't notice the lost screw. After a few days of study, Chen Ci realized that this thing could be used in many places and should not be wasted.
He looked at Fu Tianhe, and seeing that Alpha really couldn't spare the time, he silently moved his gaze to the screws at his feet.
The mental force was quietly released, condensed into a solid bond, and quickly changed shape according to Chen Ci's thoughts.
As if being manipulated by an invisible hand, the screw trembled, rose silently into the air, and flew into the open sack with an unmistakable and precise trajectory without attracting any attention.
Anyone who sees this scene will definitely wonder if there is something wrong with their eyes.
Fu Tianhe, who was closest to Chen Ci, had no idea. He was a very strong Alpha, but as Chen Ci guessed, he had no mental power.
Chen Ci looked at Fu Tianhe's profile, and seeing that Alpha didn't notice at all, he became bolder, spreading his mental power behind him and "picking up" the half of the circuit board.
Fu Tianhe finally finished dismantling the home appliances at hand and made sure that all the useful things were taken away before he straightened up.
He weighed the sack and felt his shoulders sink.
Huh? Is it that heavy?
Fu Tianhe didn't think about anything else. He dragged the sack for a while and suddenly found a Samuelton component set lying alone in a corner.
What did he see!
A 90% new Samuelton component set can be disassembled into a lot of good things with a little modification!
Fu Tianhe rushed over immediately. Just as he was about to squat to check the model, an iron rod stretched out from the side and quickly pushed the spherical component set aside.
Fu Tianhe raised his head.
A middle-aged man in work clothes was also staring at him. The man was quite short and fat, with a fleshy face and a pair of fierce and evil eyes.
The end of the iron rod in his hand was bent into a hook shape, locking the component assembly tightly, just like the iron hook used to stir up dirt in a slaughterhouse to grab the dark dirt.
This is stealing directly from him!
It looks like there will be some discordant episode today.
Fu Tianhe stood up, the smile on his lips disappeared, Alpha put away all his kindness, even the black eye on his left side became as cold as his artificial eye, and said lightly: "Brother, if I remember correctly, I found this thing, can we be in a first come first served order?"
The man sneered and said in a gruff voice, "Your name isn't written on it, how can you prove that you found it first?"
The man knocked on the Samuelton component set with an iron hook. The sound of metal collision fell into Fu Tianhe's ears, making him feel heartbroken.
This person has no idea how valuable the component set is. If it falls into the hands of someone like him who doesn't know the value of things, it will be a complete waste!
"This is a Samuelton component set. If you sell it directly, you will get less than half of its real value. It is a complete waste."
Fu Tianhe's attitude made the man firmly believe that this was a good thing and he must not let it go easily. He didn't care whether it was wasted or not, as long as he could sell it for a good price.
"I don't have time to listen to your nonsense. Take your lover home and go to bed." The man glanced rudely at Chen Ci, who was out of place behind Fu Tianhe, and bent down to pick up the component assembly.
Fu Tianhe's eyes turned completely cold.
He suddenly stretched out his foot and stepped on the man's arm: "What did you say?"
The man was not afraid at all. He sneered and waved his hand to shake off Fu Tianhe's foot: "Oh, are you still in a hurry? Isn't this your mistress? Why are you trying to make money at such a young age? Go home quickly, have more children, and contribute to the world!"
Fu Tianhe's feet were thrown away, and the next second, the hard sole of the shoe stepped accurately on the man's face!
Fu Tianhe was stomping around in the garbage dump, his shoe soles stained with sticky dirty water, imprinting heavily on the man's fat flesh, and he even crushed it twice without any mercy.
This was a huge insult. The man staggered and fell to the ground, which immediately aroused tremendous anger. He twisted his body with an agility that was not in line with his size, picked up the iron hook and was about to take Fu Tianhe's vitals!
Fu Tianhe threw the sack, and piles of parts blocked the iron hook.
He struck the man on the wrist. Perhaps he had hit a vital spot. The man screamed in pain and the iron hook in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.
In this chaotic place, even if someone is killed, no one will care. The body can be thrown directly into the garbage dump, and there is only the effort of cleaning up the scene.
Chen Ci calmly took two steps back to prevent the two men from making such big movements that they might affect him, or for blood to fly over and splash onto him.
