【Summer Five】Iron City Wall

The whistle pierced the air, and he was bounced away by a strong force, hitting the padded pillar heavily.The spine seemed to be breaking, and everything in the brain was stirred into a paste, vibrating and humming.

The pillars supporting him were brown in color, and the wood texture was soaked with blood, which precipitated a nondescript dark red.

"It hurts to death." He opened his eyes indifferently, and slowly moved the pressed hand.The meridians were burning, and the person involved didn't care at all—it could still move anyway.Compared with the injury, the white and cold light on the top of his head made him more unhappy: even if he closed his eyes, the long blades turned into those lights could still pierce the eyelids and pass through the back of the head, leaving a scar the size of a needle's eye.

The light suddenly softened, from bright to dim.Now he didn't hate it anymore, so he raised his eyelids and looked out - a few strands of black hair hung down in front of him, accompanied by the warm breath that was close at hand.

"Come on, you, are you so particular about changing the medicine?"

Xia You held the Creation Spray with one hand, and pressed five sticks with the other.The latter swayed restlessly on the back of the chair, reminding him of the legendary felines who don't like to take a bath.No, this old man is much harder to serve than a cat.

Not at all conscious of causing trouble to others, Wu Tiao raised his right arm hanging on his chest and snorted: "Didn't it just break a bone or two? It's a big deal, just leave it alone, and you have to deal with so much trouble." rule."

He was wrapped up like a mummy now.Xia You wanted to laugh, but her temples tingled and she almost let out a low breath.

"What?" Wutiao frowned, slid down from the chair, and squatted down in front of him.

"Didn't sleep well." Xia You took a breath, forcibly stifled the drowsiness rising up under her eyelids, and waved her hand lightly: "Don't run, what should be cured sooner or later, or you will suffer from the sequelae. "

These words were more convincing, and the five cats and cats moved back to the chair awkwardly, rolled up their sleeves and asked Xia You to apply medicine to the scratches.

Ordinarily this injury is really undeserved.They played well in the gymnasium, they obviously won, and this guy wanted to ask for trouble to go up to a burly guy in the high-end area - the reason was that the guy was bullying newcomers in the lounge, and he happened to be bumped into by Wujo, somehow. Just hit the bar.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly, and used his powered armor to block most of the impact before being sent flying.Even so, the right hand resting on the back of the head was inevitably injured, and there were many minor injuries on the torso, which scared Xia You who came after him half to death.

So the injured man remained calm, but the man who helped him to the clinic was pale and his fingertips were shaking.

Due to Wutiao's resilience, which is different from ordinary people, the doctor only prescribed some emergency medicine for them, and also advised them to avoid physical labor during this period, and then let them go.Xia You originally wanted to ask a few more questions, but Wu Tiao jumped three feet high to show that he was "nothing at all", and almost pissed him off again after scaring him to death.

This person never needs a reason to do things, only based on his mood.It's like Xia You didn't understand why he stepped forward to provoke, and he didn't have to figure it out: Gojo Satoru was never enthusiastic, and it was more likely that he was touched by a certain nerve by what he saw before him, and he didn't hold back for a while before he came up on a whim and slime.

Old Chen readily granted five leave, and repeatedly told him to cultivate with peace of mind, don't let those hands go.For a moment, Xia You couldn't tell what the old man was looking for in Wutiao—maybe it was the hand, it was so precious.

"Cancel the reservation for tomorrow." Xia You skillfully wrapped bandages around five hands, "We'll wait until you recover from your injury."

Wu Tiao quit immediately: "Is this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity wasted like this? We don't have to walk with our hands, how difficult is it to go to several places and meet several people? Besides, if I want to go by myself, can you stop me?"

This is true, Xia You can't stop him.

"Okay," he put the medicine in the drawer and stood up, "I don't care what happens, you take care of yourself."

Under the warm lamp, the chassis continued to hum, and a blue light was shining on the corner of the desk.The first batch of equipment brought by Andre has already been put into use. Xiayou and Wutiao checked several times in turn to confirm that there are no mistakes in the initial program, and they plan to start making matching chips.

But regardless of ordinary chips, this kind of high-precision operation with both bottom-up and top-down operation logic is extremely difficult, and it is not something that an independent individual can independently develop.They still have experience in forward logic, but they have only recently come into contact with the reverse version, and many of the root theories are not solid.

Therefore, Xiayou decided to visit the chip manufacturers in the big hole to see if they could learn something from them.Although Lao Chen didn't know what they were doing, he readily agreed and made an appointment for them to visit a certain factory.

This time, another day passed.

The chip factory located in No. 12 furnace is quite large, with a complete and rigorous production line, and complete rules and regulations. At first glance, it is not much different from ordinary enterprises on the surface.

Workers in the workshop, wearing orange uniforms, rush between the robotic arms.In this highly automated industry, the main role of living people is nothing more than adjusting parameters, monitoring and emergency response.Even so, the tens of thousands of products still kept the employees busy, and they didn't touch the ground for eight or nine hours, almost hanging on those shiny machines.

Wutiao hangs an arm in a high-profile way, Xia You can only formally report to the person in charge, and let the swarthy middle-aged uncle take them in.Compared with the surface, this factory is still much messier after all. The floor and walls are covered with mottled stains.

"Which department do you two want to visit?" The person in charge was quite sincere, "Master Chen didn't elaborate, please tell me, both of you."

Unexpectedly, Lao Chen was so easy to use, Xia You raised his eyebrows: "Are there any designers here? As long as they do brain work."

Person in charge: "No problem. You guys came just in time. The head office has just arrived for a break, and everyone should be in the corridor right now."

As they spoke, they walked up several flights of stairs and stopped in front of a long corridor that suddenly opened up.

The place is bright on all sides, and the light from the glass windows penetrates into the room, bright but not glaring.Although the windows are not bright and clean, they are still comfortable. The doors of the several offices in the row are open, and there is not much dust.

According to the person in charge, the employees responsible for design, calibration, operation and management of the entire factory are here.They are more or less talented down-and-out people who were forced to live here because of their lives, but fortunately they were able to stand out and become the head employees of this high-end factory.

"There's a huge age gap." Wutiao adjusted his sunglasses, "There are old ones and young ones. Let's start with the first one?"

His shape is quite unique: half of his face is covered by sunglasses, and his right arm is tightly bound by plaster and hangs high in front of him. Anyone who looks at him looks like a big brother who is out of his mind.The person in charge hadn't concealed his surprise since he entered the door. Due to Lao Chen's reputation in the artisan circle, he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only echo cautiously.

Xia You didn't see through it, so she pulled Wutiao and knocked on the first door.

These "civilian" personnel have different personalities, but most of them are friendly.In particular, Xia You and Wu Tiao are both very eloquent and knowledgeable. As long as someone doesn't make trouble, communication has never been an easy task.

They call themselves Master Chen's apprentices. They are interested in the chips produced by Dakong, but they dare not do it themselves, so they ask their seniors to pass on their experience.When encountering someone who was difficult to talk to, Xia You took out a powered armor from his backpack, secretly picked up the important parts and put it on the table, the effect was amazing.

At the end of the day, they got acquainted in the factory.Wu Tiao, who is physically disabled and strong, won a lot of sympathy points for the two of them—no matter how old or young, a craftsman always cherishes his talents.The older man frowned, and talked about his experiences like crackling beans. Xia You nodded and took notes, and then his hands were numb, and he started to write almost mechanically, regardless of what kind of ghostly symbols he wrote.

When the bell rang at six o'clock in the evening, Wu Tiao, who was discussing eagerly, stopped talking, hung on Xia You's shoulder and yawned.The high-intensity and concentrated wear and tear during the whole process was very severe. Xia You sweated profusely without knowing it, but her heart was full.

He came to be the one who opened the box, and Wu Tiao used biased and in-depth arguments to force others to fight back, so tacitly "lured the enemy to go deep", and in the end a bunch of close friends came out.Knowledge and experience that he had never been exposed to poured in, and he tried his best to surface, allowing himself to keep up with the lightning-fast thinking of these people.

When work was done, the brand-new notebook was completely stuffed, nearly two knuckles thick.

Back at NO.13 melting pot, they immediately planned and sorted out the knowledge systematically, and listed them one by one according to the main points.The wall facing the desk was covered with notes, and the entire row and column were filled with densely packed handwriting. The red thumbtacks squeezed the parts with similar content into one place, like a field of hidden snow.

Wutiao recovered quickly, and clamored to take off the bandage to go to work within a few days. It was only because of Xiayou and the doctor's advice that the plan was finally postponed.During this period, Xia You symbolically assembled a few prototypes, first took them to Lao Chen to check for omissions and filled in gaps, and then brought them back to Wutiao for tinkering, to see what he could come up with.

To some extent, Xia You's superb cooking skills made up for Wujo's resentment.

His cooking is not only full of color and fragrance, but also ridiculously healthy—even in a place like the Big Hollow, he can still control the nutritional balance to a near-perfect level.After trying it once, Lao Chen immediately quit, claiming that if Xiayou cooks from time to time, he can double his salary.

Minako once used this to tease her son, saying that even if he couldn't go to school, he could become a famous chef. At that time, Xiao Xia was so angry that she wondered how she could waste her talent on pots and pans. My mother was just talking nonsense Gossip.

Unexpectedly, as he got older, not only did he not abandon this way, but his skills became more and more perfect.

Xia You has always been careful, but whenever he heard Wu Tiao muttering "stomach pain" one morning, he would immediately adjust the diet for the next few days, so serious that he didn't dare to put more oil and salt.

I don't know how Wutiao lived before. When I first got home, I often suffered from gastritis. I couldn't eat this or that, it was like a glass that could break at the touch of a finger.Xia You learned to find out his taste little by little. After several years of trying, he really figured out some tricks.

If things go on like this, the noble stomachs of the five young masters have been nourished with gusto, no matter how picky they are usually, they will definitely not be able to pick Xia You's dinner table.

After a few weeks of raising her like this, Wutiao finally fully healed.

Jonny came to visit that night and told them that the operation Ann was planning was about to begin.He said that he didn't come here to recruit the two of them into the gang, he just wanted to let him know, so as not to cause some oolong in the future.

Wujo Daixiayou rejected him, and said with a smile that unless Andre came in person, he would be regarded as a "sincere" rank.Jonny only said that he would convey it, and left in a hurry.

Xia You didn't comment on the matter until she fell asleep.He just waited quietly for Wujo to fall asleep, and then quietly got up in that long and steady breath, dressed neatly on tiptoe, pushed the door and left.

When stepping into the furnace factory, Xia You clenched the goggle in his pocket as always, as if drawing power from the brilliant spar forged by the two of them together.

As every night before, he would be surrounded by coals and fire and steam until the bells struck and dawn came.
