Chapter 1: Eighty Years
It felt as if a century had passed, Zhang Lexing slowly became conscious, and his throat felt as uncomfortable as a fire, and he couldn't help shouting "water, water", but unfortunately his thirsty throat could only let out a moan. Some cool liquid flowed down his mouth, and Zhang Lexing swallowed a mouthful, and his throat didn't seem to be as uncomfortable as it began. Zhang Lexing slowly opened his eyes, and was greeted by the white ceiling and walls, and the smell of disinfectant water in the air. On the edge of the bed sat a strange and familiar middle-aged woman, holding an enamel teacup with a spoon handle peeking out from the side of the cup.
"Where am I?" asked Zhang Lexing in a hoarse voice.
"You're in the hospital now, you're fine, don't worry. The middle-aged woman replied.
"How long have I been unconscious?"
"It's been three days. ”
"There's nothing going on in the office, is there?"
"What's in it?"
"Institute of Space Physics, I remember how much the ground shook that day. ”
"What kind of research is that going on in the space room?" the middle-aged woman in front of her seemed confused.
"Then how did I get to the hospital?" Zhang Lexing felt very puzzled, did the institute not care about himself.
"Just three days ago, the car you were riding in had an accident. But you're lucky, you don't have any injuries, but you've been unconscious. The middle-aged woman asked with concern, "Do you want to drink some more water?"
"Car accident? I remember fainting in the lab. It's really strange? Really, why didn't the institute send someone here?" Zhang Lexing muttered in his heart, and suddenly there was a huge pain in his head, as if a hand was kneading his brain.
"Ah......h Before he could lose consciousness, he could faintly hear someone calling for a doctor.
……
When Zhang Lexing woke up again, he found that there was a male doctor in a white coat next to the bed. When the doctor saw him wake up, he leaned over and asked, "Well, is there anything else you don't feel well?"
"I feel much better, and my head doesn't seem to hurt anymore. Zhang Lexing replied.
"Don't worry, the headache that starts could be a head hit during a car accident and a little bit of a concussion. Rest well for a few days, and soon you will be fine. The doctor comforted, straightened up and whispered a few words to the middle-aged woman beside the bed, then turned and walked out.
Zhang Lexing closed his eyes, in the eyes of others, he may want to take a break, but in fact, he is trying to hide the shock in his heart. Because since Zhang Lexing woke up again, there seemed to be a lot more things in his mind, he remembered some fragments of car accidents, roaring engines, violent collisions, broken windows, dazzling white light, screams of fear, flying limbs, dark green water, all of which were so familiar, just like the car accident that happened when he was a child. Zhang Lexing felt that something must have happened to him, otherwise how could he suddenly go from the laboratory to the scene of the car accident.
After resting for a while, Zhang Lexing opened his eyes and sat up, looked at the middle-aged woman sitting next to him, and something suddenly popped into his mind, "She is a colleague in her father's factory, surnamed Wei."
Dad's former colleague looked quite young, and Zhang Lexing felt a little incredible, but in order to figure out the situation, he still opened his mouth and asked, "Aunt Wei, do you know what day it is?"
"Well, I remember today was March 13th. ”
"In March, I remember that the accident that day should have been on May 12th, could it be that I was in a coma for so long?" Zhang Lexing pondered in his heart, feeling a little confused.
Zhang Lexing continued to ask, "Aunt Wei, what year is this year?"
"80 years, what a poor child......" Aunt Wei touched Zhang Lexing's head with pity.
"Ah!" Zhang Lexing shouted as if he had been shocked. March 13, 1980, three days ago was March 10th, isn't this the day of the car accident that led to the death of both parents, is it like those online novels, reborn by chance? But the timing of others' rebirth is very good, and there is a chance to change the fate of their family, but when they came back, they missed it, and it happened to be that day, Zhang Lexing's heart felt extremely depressed.
"Aunt Wei, do you know where my parents are, why haven't I seen them for a few days?" Zhang Lexing had a kind of luck in his heart, hoping that his rebirth would bring a turn to the fate of his parents.
"Kid...... Well, your parents are fine, rest well, and talk about it when you are discharged from the hospital. Aunt Wei seemed to be a little speechless, and her expression was a little strange, and some tears flashed in the corners of her eyes.
Seeing Aunt Wei's expression, Zhang Lexing knew that his last glimmer of hope had been disappointed, and his body seemed to have lost his strength all of a sudden, and he was paralyzed on the hospital bed.
………………
A week later, Zhang Lexing was discharged from the hospital and went home, his body was fine, but his mood was still a little gloomy. After returning home, Zhang Lexing finally learned from the uncles and aunts who came to visit what happened on the day of the car accident, and the whole process was similar to what he remembered. That day, Zhang Lexing and his parents came back from other places, and the car had an accident on the bridge back to the city, and when the car slid down to the bridge, he was lucky to be thrown out of the car, but the other passengers in the car were not spared, and he can be said to be the only survivor.
Zhang Lexing remembers that it took him three years to slowly come out of his grief, and maybe the same thing happened twice, and the impact on people was not as great as the first time. After attending his parents' memorial service, Zhang Lexing felt that the sorrow in his heart gradually faded, and began to cheer up and think about his future.
Before his rebirth, Zhang Lexing was not successful in his life, not only did he not have much achievements emotionally, but even the money he had saved up to buy a house came to naught because of a stock market crash, and he didn't make any achievements in the things he was interested in.
Now reborn, according to those online novels, he is a person who has mastered the development trend of the future world, and he should be able to achieve fame by using a few of them, Zhang Lexing believes that his parents will be happy if they have a spirit in the sky. After this period of observation, Zhang Lexing found that the biggest change after rebirth was that his memory was much better, of course, he knew that this was not a rebirth ability, because the average person in his teenage years was the best time to remember, at least much better than adults in their forties.
Zhang Lexing didn't know how long the memories he brought back when he was reborn could be kept, in order to seize his greatest advantage, he decided to write down some important events while he still remembered it more clearly. Sitting in front of the desk, Zhang Lexing recorded on the notepad while reminiscing.
"Around August 2007, the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States caused the world's stock markets to fall, especially the domestic A-share market, which fell first in the world, and it seems that it has not bottomed out in May 2008."
"Around April 2000, the dot-com bubble burst, and the stock prices of many high-tech companies in the United States plummeted"
"Around October 1987, the U.S. stock market plummeted and spread to the world, causing a stock market crash"
"After the signing of the Plaza Accord in 1985, the yen began to enter an upward channel, and by the beginning of 1990, the Japanese property market and stock market had plummeted. ”
"September 11, 2000, 911 Incident, Don't Die Trade Center Twin Towers"
"U.S. stocks with buying potential: Microsoft, DELL, BBY, Cisco, Yahoo, Google"
……………………
It's been two weeks since he went home, and Zhang Lexing has slowly adapted to his current life. Because his family had just suffered a catastrophe, the factory took into account the actual situation of Zhang Lexing's family and helped him take long-term sick leave, planning to let him rest for a while and wait until he was in a better mood. If the situation is good after a while, arrange for Zhang Lexing to go back to school.
Of course, Zhang Lexing did not eat and wait for death during this leisure time, he often went to the reading room of the factory to read various newspapers during the day, and went to the neighbor's house to watch TV at night. But the more I read and the more I knew, the worse my mood became, and Zhang Lexing felt that his future path would not be as simple as in YY's novel.
In many time-traveling novels, the protagonist is always reborn with one or two abilities, at least a clear memory of the future. But Zhang Lexing reluctantly found that reality is often different from imagination, if it weren't for the constant use of notepads to write down some important things some time ago, he wouldn't even remember the future development clearly. Legend has it that the 80s were a paradise for adventurers, a golden age full of opportunities, but unfortunately the timing of Zhang Lexing's return was not ideal. Although the reform and opening up has begun, it is found on television and in newspapers that the individual economy is still suppressed and is in a period that has not yet been legalized. According to his memory, it will be at least five or six years before the individual economy can be put on the table, and now is obviously not a good time for individuals to start their own businesses.
But Zhang Lexing is unwilling to waste several years of time in his student days, and it seems that he has to plan his future path well. Zhang Lexing's technical expertise is programming and network technology, in the current environment, network technology is not used at all, let alone China, even the United States, which has developed science and technology, the network is still in the depths. Fortunately, in the next few years, domestic computer technology will develop rapidly, especially the system based on Apple II There are many opportunities, Zhang Lexing is very fortunate to have studied Apple II before coming back, maybe he can grasp the opportunity to bring the first pot of gold in his life to himself.
However, the top priority at the moment is to support himself, and if he does not have independent financial ability, when the factory arranges for Zhang Lexing to go back to school, he will have no resistance. If you want to support yourself, you have to find a job, and now it is still fashionable to go out to work these days, and the goal of work can only be put in the factory. Zhang Lexing plans to go to the factory in two days to take a serious look around and see if he can find a suitable job for himself.
Before going to the factory, Zhang Lexing decided to fully tap his potential. As the saying goes, art is not pressing, Zhang Lexing was addicted to comics when he was young, and he also copied it when he was interested, especially a set of comics related to Journey to the West, and even when he was working in the Institute of Physics, he was able to draw a few scenes at will. Now this cartoon should only stay in the mind of a certain cartoonist, there are still several years before he is officially published, Zhang Lexing decided to draw a part of it first, maybe he is lucky enough to meet the opportunity to publish, and it is always right to prepare more.
Thinking of what to do, Zhang Lexing found a drawing board and pencil for art class and began to draw. After starting to do it, Zhang Lexing found that after leaving those familiar comic tools, the effect of drawing was much worse. Fortunately, there are some tools that can still find alternatives, although they are relatively rudimentary, but they finally make the comics slowly look like that. Zhang Lexing knew that he was not a superman, and it was impossible to draw the entire comic in just a few days, so he focused on the first sentence, and only wrote a story outline for the rest of the content, and the images of some important characters were also simply depicted, and annotations were added to them. After these tasks were completed, Zhang Le walked out of the house and took an important step for his future.
