"Well!"
Just as he was about to get up, Liu Yu suddenly felt a piercing pain in his lower back.
"Oh right," Li Lechen quickly explained, "We originally wanted to move you to the bed, and we tried our best, but you're too heavy to lift, so we had to let you sleep on the floor."
There is no doubt that Liu Yu's excruciating back pain was caused by being "forcefully" carried up to the upper bunk.
Although indignant, Liu Yu had no excuse to explode.
The crucial point is that he had absolutely no idea what had happened from beginning to end.
In fact, I felt something was wrong as soon as I entered the classroom this morning. Everyone's eyes were strange, and someone even suddenly fell asleep, which sounded unbelievable.
No! We have to get to the bottom of this!
So Liu Yu, ignoring the pain in his lower back, got up, put on his coat, and hurriedly headed out. Before leaving, he glanced at Li Lechen with a puzzled look, then suddenly felt a pain in his face as well.
That's right, Liu Yu, who hadn't had a chance to look in the mirror, didn't know that his face was actually quite symmetrically swollen, after all, he had been slapped several times on both sides.
After Liu Yu left, Li Lechen logged onto the live streaming platform and went straight to find Huo Jiujian.
The reason I'm in such a hurry is that the smart assistant I just got back has lost the program that I had previously installed to help me calculate the numbers for the Super Lotto.
Although I've won over three million, claiming the prize isn't something that can be done today. For such a large sum, I have to go to the provincial welfare lottery center in person, so I can't go until the weekend.
The 8,000 yuan he won in the square lottery has already been donated, and he can't get the more than 3 million yuan from the lottery for the time being. He has also spent a lot of money these days, and Li Lechen is already in a tight spot.
Therefore, he urgently needs some small prizes to replenish his pockets.
As soon as I logged on, I saw that Huo Jiujian and Lai Haoren had sent me one-on-one video requests at the same time.
Originally, Li Lechen wanted to find Huo Jiujian, but thinking about how he almost got banned online because he didn't listen to Lai Haoren's advice in time, he decided to listen to what Lai Haoren had to say first.
really.
"How could you be so careless?!"
As soon as the signal was connected, Lai Haoren launched into a tirade of abuse.
"What's going on? Tell me in more detail?"
Did you sell four water purifiers yesterday?
"Yeah, so what? Are they not even allowed to sell water purifiers anymore?"
"The water purifier itself is fine, but the materials used to make it are even worse than the bottles you used to store water last time!"
"..."
Li Lechen was speechless.
This water purifier, which looks cheap at first glance, is sold for 50 yuan at a charity price. Its cost price is only a few yuan. Naturally, you can't expect it to be made of good materials. It might even be made of recycled plastic.
Although we've been careful to avoid environmental hazards, compared to the environmental standards of 2000, it's really impossible to meet the standards for anything we have now—except for food.
Lai Haoren sighed and said, "Luckily, I discovered it in time and got three back for you. As for the one that Mo Longao has, he definitely won't sell it for a higher price. But fortunately, that person isn't cunning and probably won't harm you."
“Actually, the most crucial part of your water purifier is that black substance on the lid,” Lai Haoren said.
“It should be activated carbon,” Li Lechen explained immediately.
"So this is called activated carbon." Lai Haoren seemed quite surprised.
It seems to be another knowledge point that has been deleted. Even without the intelligent knowledge chip, Lai Haoren currently has no way to obtain that additional knowledge.
Li Lechen then quickly searched on Baidu and sent all the descriptions of activated carbon from Baidu to Lai Haoren.
"No wonder the thing I printed out directly couldn't absorb impurities at all; it turns out it needs to be activated."
Although Li Lechen simply recited the content from Baidu, Lai Haoren already had a preliminary activation process in mind. He figured that as long as he spent some time, it wouldn't be difficult to make a set of equipment that could produce activated carbon.
After talking with Lai Haoren, Li Lechen quickly accepted Huo Jiujian's request for a one-on-one video chat.
To get straight to the point, Li Lechen briefly told Huo Jiujian that he had missed the renewal of the smart assistant because he forgot about the trial period, and thus lost the prize-winning software.
He thought Huo Jiujian would scold him for this, or make some demands, but to his surprise, Huo Jiujian was in a good mood. "It's nothing, I'll just send it to you again."
"Then who are you looking for...?"
"I have extracted ultra-pure allicin from garlic, which can completely neutralize toxins in circulating water. I have been researching this issue for over a hundred years."
"Then what?"
Li Lechen asked while installing the new lottery-winning software on his smart assistant.
"Then I need a lot of garlic to make allicin, but unfortunately..."
Huo Jiujian remembered that Li Lechen had said before that a single garlic clove cost 1 billion Sunshine Coins. At that price, even knowing that allicin could neutralize the toxins in the circulating water would be meaningless.
For Li Lechen, although garlic is not particularly expensive, it is clear that extracting allicin and then using it to neutralize the circulating water that everyone can drink for free would require more than just a few kilograms or tens of kilograms of garlic. He is not a vegetable wholesaler, so this is indeed not an easy task.
I suddenly thought of someone because I had just talked to him before.
"Do you know Lai Haoren?" Li Lechen suddenly asked.
Huo Jiujian was a little puzzled. "I know him, but we haven't had much contact. He just lives in Anc District."
Although Lai Haoren's "One-Stop Solution Company" produced quite a few things, it was only a small-scale operation overall, and the products did not have a high profile. In addition, since he was not a permanent resident of An District, Huo Jiujian did not pay much attention to him.
However, Li Lechen's mention reminded Huo Jiujian of some recent rumors, so he said, "Do you also think that this person is most likely to replace Ouyang Feng and obtain permanent residency in An District after this large-scale population screening?"
"I don't know about that," Li Lechen answered truthfully. "It's just that this person is quite innovative and always invents things that can solve the problem in one go. If he could make some disposable garlic extract, where you just eat one and then drink recycled water to automatically detoxify, it might be a good method that saves time and effort."
Upon hearing this, Huo Jiujian was taken aback. "You mean you want me to cooperate with him?"
"What? Can't we cooperate? Do you have a grudge against him?"
"Of course there's no enmity."
"Then why can't we cooperate?"
"Because the Patent Law explicitly prohibits two people from collaborating on the same project, it could lead to patent disputes over the patented product."
Although Li Lechen wasn't very familiar with the legal regulations, even a non-legal person could tell that, at least under current laws, it's impossible to prohibit two people from collaborating on a project. After all, as the old saying goes, "Three cobblers are equal to one Zhuge Liang," and "Unity is strength" is even sung about.
I no longer ask why future laws would prohibit collaboration among multiple people; it's clearly to avoid the clash of ideas.
With such strict controls in place, what exactly is happening in the future? And what path will it take? Li Lechen is increasingly confused.
