Located on the Tropic of Cancer, Nanhua City only has spring and summer, and late spring is as hot as midsummer, and the electric fans at home simply cannot meet the needs of the residents. On this day, the mother and son blew the cool river breeze of the early summer night, wiped the happy beans and wahaha, and walked along the river embankment for a long time before turning back to Pingnan Village from the back door of the Nanhua Theater.

This is the first June Day after Rimu's rebirth, and there is no regret for the mother's Children's Day.

That night, Xiao Limu couldn't sleep.

His mind was full of the more than 6,000 people who died in July, including Chinese and Africans, most of them old people, children and women who could not run or swim. They soaked in a mixture of yellow, orange and orange muddy water and waited, and eventually died of blisters or starvation in their helplessness.

Drowning and starving are far more painful than hanging and hacking, bleeding too much and dying to death.

- I should do something.

He thought stubbornly.

- You can't do nothing for fear of being tracked down.

Encourage yourself not to be afraid of being tracked down by a political axe or some unwarranted organization.

——The greater the power, the greater the responsibility, whether it is an official, a businessman, three wives and four concubines, or a great cartoonist......

It's all good, how can you not do what you need to do?

What's more, Riki thinks he knows some code, most familiar with Java programming, C++ and C#, and the "injection-attack" mode is also slightly involved. Although there are many masters in the world, he is not confident that he will not leave traces on the Internet, but the coding technology that is more than ten years ahead of the contemporary era is not covered, and it must be very difficult to track him.

But there is one thing that makes Limu very entangled.

In 1998, computers and the Internet were not yet widely used in China, and even the famous Google was still in the university in an unimplemented plan, and the popular CS Half-Life was not published until November.

Forums and chat rooms are still in the state of practical concepts.

At that time, the search website did not rely on search engines, and in this era, it was only a "yellow. Page era", and the next two years will slowly show its power in the "search engine era".

INTERVIEWER Is it possible to use computers to disseminate information in China in this state?

Advertising in newspapers and on television is the best way to spread the word, but Riki can't do that, he doesn't want to implicate his family.

After a week of thinking, he finally secretly smashed his piggy bank. The little pig has a belly of flower intestines flowing out, most of these "flower intestines" are coins of one and a half cents, a lot of dollars, and there are a lot of paper notes for gross tickets, the largest of which is a dark blue old hairy head.

Ready, on June 6, he came to a place that he would never go to at his age, which was called the "Internet café" by later generations, and now because the Internet is not yet popular, the "Internet café" is temporarily called the "computer room" in this era, and if you want to access the Internet in the computer room, you need to add an additional fee.

After breakfast, he lied about going out and stood in front of this shop on the street of Jiangbin Road, and Riki saw such a boss's flamboyant signboard.

He came here from his home in the open—

Standing in the doorway, you can see the bulky monitor, and the rather ugly main chassis is still lying horizontally, buzzing under the monitor. The 3.1-inch disk port is estimated to be rarely used either now or in the future. On a flickering computer screen, only three or four computers were working, and the rest showed Diablo, Red Alert, The King of Fighters, and the like.

It was this kind of place where the crowd was complicated, and Limu walked over leisurely.

Hawkers, the public security investigation is not very strict, and it doesn't matter how old you are.

That's what Riki thought from the beginning.

During this period, although the police had issued regulations on computer rooms, there were still very few children who could play with computers, so there were not many cases of parents complaining about the computer rooms taking in children.

Recall that during the childhood of living in Pingnan Village, this computer room never seemed to be banned - it changed its name from a computer room to an Internet café, changed its name and moved the place, but in fact, it grew bigger and opened a branch. At this time, the atmosphere of Internet cafes is quite good, and there are not a large number of Internet addicted teenagers who are obsessed with playing online games, and the chance of being robbed will be relatively small.

If he was really robbed by the "big brothers", he was not very worried, he only took fifty yuan out of the house, and even if he was robbed, he would not ruin his family. Moreover, this is an avenue in Nanjiang District, and you can see the street name sign that reads "Jiangbin Road" on the roadside sign, and no one should ignore it when you run out and cry.

Fifty bucks...... It is equivalent to the mother driving five times, according to the average one or two hours in the off-season, someone only picks up the car once in the off-season, this money is equivalent to the mother's income from seven or eight hours of work, if it is really robbed of the pear wood, it will definitely resist to the end!

There are many forks on the right side of Jiangbin Road. The head of the road is the entrance of Pingnan Village, the entrance of the Nanhua Theater in the middle of the road, and the school road leading to the No. 10 Middle School and Nanjiang Elementary School not far away, and then the "Xiyuan", the place of vacation of the political axe officials, and the farthest point at the end of the road is the entrance of the village leading to Dancun.

It must be in the middle of Riverside Road by now—Riki thought, marking his location on the map in his mind. Although it is very sketchy, Riki can still guess where he is based on the stationery store next to it, and the geography of Nanjiang District, which was the first area to be developed in Nanhua City, can be described as quite complicated.

Different from the big-leaved banyan tree on Taoyuan Road, Jiangbin Road is planted with almond trees. At first glance, these trees are difficult to distinguish from mango trees, but when they bear fruit, it is immediately apparent that they produce fruit that varies greatly in size. I don't know how the greening work was done in the first place, but two mango trees appeared among the almond trees.

The sidewalks behind the green belt are full of small shops, most of which sell badminton, swimsuits and other sports goods, after all, the other end of the South China Theatre is one of the only two gymnasiums in the city, and in the heyday of '98, black people can often be seen walking on Riverside Road. If a mischievous child calls them "", they will immediately chase after them and scream in fear.

【Weichang Computer Room】

Riki was very concerned about this bold sign, and wrote the words "Wei Chang" in gold paint on the black-painted advertising board, "Wei Chang" was undoubtedly the name of the owner, and "computer room" explained the business it was running.

The signboard is hung at the junction of the first and second floors, and the entrance is open openly, and you can vaguely see the stairs leading to the upper floors in the room, and the boss has no fear to put the computer on the first floor.

It seems that the boss is not afraid of the public security to investigate at all.

Thinking so, Riki walked leisurely into the computer room.

Suddenly he felt as if someone was looking at him from somewhere, so he looked around, only to see a man on the counter with bulging cheekbones and very southerner characteristics staring at him, his sharp eyes as if staring at his prey.

"Welcome." The voice of the guest sounded, and his voice was a little hoarse.

"How much does it cost?" Riki walked over and asked briefly.

Limu entered the Internet café for the first time when he was in the sixth grade, and then his family bought him a computer, which was a high-configuration desktop computer for 7,999 yuan. He has never been to an Internet café a few times since he had his own computer, and he often studies VC and VB at home and causes computer poisoning. In addition to comics, computers are his second interest, but there is still an essential difference between interests and ideals.

Riki's ideal is to be a big manga artist, and his hobby is computers. As a result, because of the pressure of life, he eventually developed his interest into a job, and reduced his ideals to an interest.

"Are you the only one?" The webmaster asked.

"Yes."

Riki wondered, do you have to get together a group to turn on the machine?

"Kid, what do you want to do here?"

"I want to look up study materials on the Internet."

"Finally, are you 18 years old?" The NMS makes the final confirmation.

"That...... I just want to look up some study materials. Over here...... Do I need to be accompanied by an adult? Riki asked. This is different from the situation he imagined, I used to hear that there were minors who entered this Internet café and were not investigated, and I thought that the boss had some background, but now it seems that the actual reason is that the management is strict.

At one end of the counter was a brand new registration book, with the visitor's name and ID number written on the lines, and the book had reached the last few pages, as if it was about to be replaced with a new one. A printed out list next to it reads: [boarding fee 5 yuan/hour], [Internet fee 15 yuan/hour].

"You need to dial up the Internet to check the information, we charge 15 yuan for 1 hour here......"

Riki reached into the pocket of his pants and was about to take out the money inside.

“…… However, you cannot come in without an adult. The network administrator does not doubt whether the child in front of him is here to check the information, which is impossible in his mind, and he only doubts whether the 7 or 8-year-old child will use the computer.

"Call your boss, I have the money and won't let me in." Even if he was blocked, Riki still took out the money in his pocket and used the posture of a hooligan.

"I'm the boss, I have the final say, you can't come in without an adult." The webmaster, well, the owner of the computer room is very resolute about minors entering the computer room.

In fact, when I entered the computer room, I found that there were very few computers in the computer room, not like the Internet cafes in the later period, where there were dozens or hundreds of computers. In addition to the row that can be seen at the door, there are a total of eighteen PCs. However, the total price should be about 200,000 yuan, and the boss who dares to pay this amount of money when the industry has not yet taken shape definitely has admirable courage.

There was no way, so Limu had to take back the money and walk out of the computer room in a gloomy manner.

It's not that Riki didn't think about buying his own computer, but he didn't have any money on hand, so he could only earn income after "Fullmetal Alchemist" was successfully submitted and sold. He was not very confident that he could get his parents to spend 10,000 yuan to buy him a computer, or that he would have to do enough to surprise them.

- What should I do?

It's a good idea to write anonymously. In the 21st century, when investigation technology is more mature, it is difficult to trace the source of anonymous letters containing virus powder or declaring crimes. However, the efficiency of letter writing is very slow, stationery and envelopes are quite expensive, and you can't send a few letters with stamps.

Considering the disadvantages of using letters, Riki is in a predicament again, even if he takes all the money in the piggy bank, he must only be able to send about sixty or so sheets. But Limu is not without the ability to increase the value of letters, and the letter curse is not popular in China at this time. If you send dozens of curse letters to middle school students that "if you don't forward the letter to ten people, you'll be in misfortune", there must be a few students who will be recruited.

The only problem is the slow speed of transmission......

- No, there's still a chance!

When he walked to Jin Ling's stationery store, Rimu's eyes couldn't help but light up.
