Chapter 1: The Light of Battle

Rongcheng Fulong Building was originally built and completed by Huatong Company in 92 years, seventeen floors, at this time Rongcheng is also a high-rise building, the faΓ§ade as a whole is real stone paint and matte clay surface bricks, like a car power crankshaft design of the building structure, plus a telecommunications transmission tower on the roof, such as Cheng Ran at this time at home with a futuristic sense of the cover painting of the local magazine "Science Fiction World".

Cheng Ran remembered that he used to like to stand at the foot of the high-rise buildings in the urban area, looking up, preferably in the clear sky and the starry night, from that vision, it seemed that he felt like he was in the middle of a group of warships, heading towards the endless cosmic firmament.

Buildings grow on this land, and the Fulong building is against the light in the mist, which is ninety-nine years.

Overlooking from the top of the building, in the interval between the high-rise buildings of the earth, there are dark blue bungalow tiles left over from the Ming and Qing dynasties, sometimes dotted with buildings with red brick walls, and more low-rise residential buildings, stretching and undulating. At the end of the day, the non-motorized lanes on both sides of the highway separated by stone piers and iron pipes are full of traffic with bicycle bells ringing.

There are large areas of suburbs in the north of the city, and in the south of the city is the construction site where urbanization is now hot, and flocks of birds fly through the city. The freight train line, which has not been diverted, is still to the west, and the only way to pass is through an underground tunnel that has exposed the red rock face due to the mottled time. So there are often men and women in plain school uniforms waving goodbye to the roar of the railroad tracks with the red glow reflecting the red glow of the train windows.

Years later, when the sound of the train is no longer heard in the city, this unpleasant sound will probably become part of their memory.

......

The train roared, going into the distance, and the times were rolling forward at the same time.

When the moment when the human world changed from radio signals to a connected world with digital signals as the mainstream, an unprecedented change took place quietly.

It's just that most people can't look up at the sky, and they don't know that the flood is coming. He didn't look down at the ground, and he walked like a fly on the cliff at night, and fell between the mountains.

Only a small number of people, who are deaf and clear-sighted, smell the damp wind in the air in advance, and carry the breath of the approaching storm, they feel the tremor of the ground, the thunder in the distance, and they will travel by starry night, stepping on the top of the peaks and mountains between the earth and the mountains, and picking the sun, moon and stars.

In such a future, the world of mankind will develop at a speed that was absolutely impossible to predict and imagine before.

On the eve of graduating from junior high school in 1997, Cheng Ran said to Jiang Hongshao that standing in the high dimension of time and space, watching human society is like a scattered and impermanent sand tower, and from such a point in time to the future timeline, the material stock and information increment of society will change rapidly compared with the speed at which the past thousands of years of society have evolved into hundreds or thousands of times. That's thousands of sand towers erected in an instant, and hordes will die in an instant.

Mankind cannot imagine that in the future, there will be a smart small metal and glass plate that ordinary people can carry with them, and they will be able to surpass the computing power of the supercomputer "Deep Blue", which can beat the chess championship today.

You may have imagined it, but you still feel that you can be connected to every moment and any place far away, and you can see the people you want to see through the video, and you can't imagine that no matter where you are in the world, you can play games and communicate with people on the other side of the world with a delay of just tens of milliseconds.

It is not yet possible to fully believe that the knowledge that was once sealed in the library, the judgments of professionals, the works and paintings of masters, and the audio-visual materials will one day be presented to individuals with only a few brief operations on personal smart devices.

Science fiction is a window for mankind to look up to the future, but even the most powerful science fiction masters of our time are dwarfed by their predictions of that future.

The era known as the information explosion is quietly coming after a long time.

Although the national pattern of the world has not changed in the future, the social pattern has indeed changed drastically.

There will be countless people who will die, and there will also be many explorers who will be reborn, who will understand the laws of development in the future, and use the laws to establish order and become the masters of the new era...... and leaders.

They had been killed in a sea of thousands of corpses and blood, and they knew that they themselves might fall into ruins one day.

Now, relying on the thing called the Internet, the wave set off from the other side of the ocean is drifting across the ocean to bombard this ancient vicissitudes of life.

This "golden age", which is praised by countless people, comes and goes here in a hurry, bustling beings, many people have achieved fame in the limelight, enjoying the bombardment of magnesium lights and the overwhelming rendering of the media, some people have built the tallest building, some people have won the standard king of this national television station, and some people have turned the tide and achieved the myth of contemporary wealth.

But soon, these momentary hustle and bustle were dimmed and dissipated in the torrent of the rapidly changing times, like a bubble, which rose rapidly, and then quickly burst and died out.

The giants are rising, the giants will fall, and the unicorns who have enough influence to change the future are hibernating, surviving, evolving, and waiting in the corners...... The beginning of the period that broke out of the cocoon in the times.

......

Cheng Ran was on the roof of the Fulong Building, and he saw from afar that the red bricks on the top of the "bird trapping device" he had built with five red bricks had been covered, indicating that there were already goods inside.

In fact, in the final analysis, it is to surround a "mouth" with four red bricks, support the red bricks on the top with a bamboo piece, expose the pit surrounded by the bricks below, and then sprinkle some rice grains in it, after the supporting bamboo pieces are knocked off, the top bricks knock down, just forming a sealed structure.

Cheng Ran carefully opened the gap between the bricks, revealing a small gray finch below, the eyes of the black beans were looking around with some horror, Cheng Ran probed the sparrow in his left hand, took out a handful of rice from his trouser pocket with his right hand, and fed it carefully, and after a while, he let go of his hand, the sparrow didn't fly, and the little guy was probably hungry, so he was pestled on the ground, and his head kept pecking in Cheng Ran's hand.

There is a faint singing below, it is the Spring Festival group meeting in the Fulong building, this Spring Festival, Fulong days probably do not have to be tight, a basic point, the disaster prevention system is rolled out under the promotion of the government, the order gives Fulong strong support, and the sales get a lot of cash reserves.

Then immediately after the incident in Rongcheng, the collapse of Lei Weipai and Beituo Wang Ligang liberated the productivity of the local factories in Rongcheng.

Secondly, Cheng Feiyang established a staff training plan, carried out in batches, will send employees to relevant universities and enterprises in developed countries to visit and learn from experience, not behind closed doors, so that the vision is in line with international standards, the first stop is some Japanese enterprises, at the group meeting, Cheng Feiyang announced the news, and said that "many famous companies in Japan have experienced nine deaths, but now they are still alive, this is success." Therefore, the current theme of Fulong, who has grown up, is to go out and let everyone learn from this success. ”

Fulong has also done a lot of things this year, investing in research and development, establishing joint ventures with some local telecommunications departments, and of course, diversifying investment, Cheng Ran's CQ is just a small project of these many projects, Li Mingshi has studied it, and many people feel that he is not doing his business and is useless, but it must be difficult to say on the surface.

The Spring Festival group meeting is still the same old way of thinking, Fulong's various departments have shows, most of them are choruses of this era, this morning Cheng Ran saw many people's faces with makeup like monkey buttocks, and some men in the department wore suits and leather shoes and red ties. The woman is wearing a white shirt, a red bow tie and black cargo pants, full of a century-old style.

Cheng Ran suddenly heard a voice behind him, Cheng Ran turned his head and saw Cheng Feiyang walking to the top of the building through the corridor door, the most eye-catching thing was also two red faces, some wanted to laugh, but it made people laugh.

In my memory, Cheng Feiyang was still in his prime when he was dressed up, but now he has more forehead lines on his forehead, and the lines at the corners of his eyes are deeper.

The group meeting was not over yet, but after he had spoken, he hid.

Cheng Ran smiled, "Dad, is your apprentice asking you to go up and sing again?"

I thought that this is also this year, and I have to push it back again, if Fulong can reach that height that no one dares to think about at present, will Cheng Feiyang's appearance at every group meeting be able to occupy the headlines of the portal?

Cheng Feiyang waved his hand with an expression of "unbearable to look back", sat down beside Cheng Ran, and then said, "Recently, you still have to go home early, don't walk around, I still let Chen Wenguang pick you up." ”

Although Lei Wei has been arrested, and the people related to his group have also been investigated, these are only the conclusive parts of the evidence, and there are indeed some people who have private relationships with Lei Wei, or his relatives, who are not on the list of his group, and there are even some dark lines that have not surfaced. Although the role played by Cheng Ran is only known to those who are at the core of this anti-crime and evil storm, and because Lei Wei has already entered, some of his remaining peripherals may not dare to act rashly, but just in case, it is best to be cautious when this matter is not completely calmed down.

Although Cheng Bin is now the eye of the storm and is very busy, but a few days ago, he still met with Cheng Feiyang, for this operation, although there are Cheng Bin and all aspects of the mobilized forces, even behind this Xie Houming knows that he is using his own energy to participate, and Cheng Bin doesn't know the key role played by Cheng Ran in the early stage.

Cheng Bin and Cheng Feiyang met, although they all knew that Cheng Ran had the Tianxing Daoist Pavilion in his hands, the sales system of board games, and a group of people, but the key things in this storm, Cheng Ran really relied on what he knew?

One is his son and the other is a nephew, but they all feel that this kid is on the eve of graduating from junior high school, as if there has been a rapid change, but this change cannot be explained by the exact reason, if you really want to say, it is probably ...... Let's grow up suddenly.

It's just that this growth is a little scary all of a sudden.

Cheng Ran nodded. Cheng Feiyang sat side by side with him, and saw at a glance the red brick bird trapping devices that seemed to travel through time and space, and the gray finches next to him were still walking and pecking, which also attracted many birds to land on the ground in front of them.

Cheng Feiyang was a little in a trance, he still remembered the lack of material back then, where there were so many other children in the family who held covetous toys in their hands, but he couldn't resist the blinding Cheng Ran, so he had to think of a way, and took a few years old Cheng Ran to set up this kind of bird catching device on the roof of the old building in Shanhai, at that time Cheng Ran was still a short and naughty egg, and the roof of the old building was overgrown with weeds, so deep that it could not pass Xiao Cheng Ran's head.

And now, it is also such a simple bird-hunting childhood fun, Cheng Ran's head is already above him, he still has a javelin-like straight back, but the whole person seems to have shrunk a circle, not so tall.

The father, who was no longer too tall, reached out and touched the head of his son who was sitting side by side, and rubbed it, Cheng Ran's soft hair was rubbed messily by his powerful hands with calluses, and Cheng Ran's eyes were resentful...... This is my father.

As a result, he didn't wait for words that were originally touching in this kind of scene, such as "Taller than me, dad is old", but Cheng Feiyang smiled and looked at Cheng Ran, who was not below him for a long time, and advised, "Is it the end of the semester that is coming, and the results of the thirty-eighth place should be taken a big step?"

Seeing Cheng Ran's stunned look, Cheng Feiyang smiled proudly again, as if to say that you are still your boss, don't think that now that you are busy with work, you think that I am careless......

......

......

"It's a big deal, it's really a big deal. ”

In the small building leaning on the river in Huanhuaxi, Chen Huiyan applauded Jiang Yueqin about what was happening and going on in Rongcheng at present.

"You are still the hot-tempered Weiwei I knew before, on that occasion, you unswervingly promote the fight against the underworld and eliminate evil, what kind of political consciousness is this...... I'm optimistic about you, this kind of outspokenness, the will to be incompatible, I think the road you can go in the future is limitless, just waiting for the day when you take command......"

Jiang Yueqin smiled, "I'm killing indiscriminately again." ”

Chen Huiyan said, "This is not a killing, this is in line with the hearts of the people, before Lei Wei's group of people had become a miasma, and the atmosphere was also very problematic, Lei Wei Lei Wei's name was like thunder before, who dared to provoke, now you see, it is really the wall that everyone pushes, it can be seen how angry they were before." I heard that they teamed up with Wang Ligang of Beituo Company to suppress some factory matters, which is a proper obstacle to the progress of social productive forces. ”

"It's just a set of words. It's a good thing that people like Lei Wei have fallen," Jiang Yueqin said, "In the process of building Lei Wei Group, the relevant issues, whether we can get rid of the chaos and whether we can learn a lesson, this is the fundamental." ”

Chen Huiyan smiled and said, "But then again, is that Fulong company the biggest beneficiary this time...... I heard that the classmate of Red Peony is from Fulong's family......"

The smile on Jiang Yueqin's face gradually subsided. She stared at her friend who didn't think it was a big deal, "What do you mean?"

Chen Huiyan hurriedly shook her head and said with a smile, "How dare you mean anything...... I just want to know, what will you do next, the master mother of the wise and martial arts?"

"This little flower in our family has also grown up and has its own judgment, as I said, there are many things, I will not interfere...... However, I would like to meet this ...... named Cheng Ran."

Chen Huiyan was slightly stunned, "What do you mean?"

"Isn't Red Peony going to invite some friends to dinner......" Jiang Yueqin paused, "When the time comes, let's come home." ”

Chen Huiyan suddenly, when she looked at Jiang Yueqin again, she found that her best friend, who had been in a hurry since she was a student, had her eyes slightly half-closed, and her inner pupils flickered and gathered light.

She had seen such a look many times.

It was their entire glorious college days, and Jiang Wei, who used to be able to fight the Confucians in the democratic council, and no one was their opponent. is also because I can't get used to those who claim to "marry a chicken and a dog", "scramble to grab the public faction", and see that they can go abroad to be superior to others. It was still the era of TOEFL 600 and GRE 2000, and when there was a sensation at that time, when countless foreign universities threw olive branches to her, she turned away the recruiters who came to negotiate, and did not accept those domestic universities that others looked up to, which shocked her eyes......

This is the most legendary Jiang Wei in the school back then, and now this old classmate and friend Chen Huiyan is familiar with, and her eyes at this time are the same as back then......

That's the light of battle.
