Chapter 1: Clearing
[Updated daily, never interrupted, brothers rest assured to collect~~]
Outside the city of Fuzhou, there is an ancient road, but there is no west wind, in the early spring of January, the swishing north wind is still blowing strongly.
In the distance, along the official road, a group of businessmen drove the truck unhurriedly, and when they saw the towering city tower in the distance, there was a burst of excited shouting from the team.
Qin Kai wrapped in a set of robes and horse coats that didn't fit very well and followed the caravan slowly, he looked at the real world around him, thinking about what he had seen and heard in the past ten days, and he couldn't help but feel depressed in his heart.
Because a few days ago, he was a field clerk of the East China Security Agency in the 24th century, and he leisurely drove the K170 shuttle to the reef number 77348 to deal with the evidence of little Japan's secretly digging resources under our territorial waters.
After putting down the smart machine and collecting evidence automatically, Qin Kai still couldn't help but greet this neighbor who was difficult to change, and the guys in the navy were also bored, in fact, they had already detected the movements of Little Japan, but they had to wait until they installed all the equipment before launching this destruction operation.
At the end of the mission, when he returned, his shuttle accidentally passed through a vast white curtain on the sea, and by the time he woke up, he was already lying in a wood, which made him extremely strange that the shuttle was nowhere to be seen, which made his brain almost short-circuit.
Shenma situation...... Qin Kai couldn't help but want to roar loudly, this qiΔ was too weird.
After searching around, he was depressed to find that in addition to his belongings and the set of individual tactical suits he was wearing, even the 9501 photon submachine gun used for self-defense was nowhere to be found.
Implantable optical brain, which is an important scientific and technological achievement made by China in the 22nd century, through ultra-nanotechnology and bioelectric engineering, the seamless connection of the optical brain and human peripheral nerves has been realized. Of course, as a scientific and technological achievement at the level of never decryption, this kind of high-end photo-brain equipment can only be used in special departments and the military.
On Qin Kai's retina, a group of light brains' activation information jumped out normally, but after a few short seconds, two "Di Di" alarms made him realize the realm of "drinking cold water and astringent teeth" again, and the light brain that he used smoothly on weekdays also malfunctioned.
What made him even more depressed was that at this time, the light brain was repeatedly prompting in a very soft female voice: "Hello, Qin Kai, the system guidance is wrong, and it can only guide the mandatory repair plan!" And when he confirmed the guidance, the light brain told him very gently-"Hello, Qin Kai, because the biological energy reserves are insufficient, it is not enough to guide the repair plan!" "It made him almost vomit blood again......
For this implanted light brain, Qin Kai is extremely proficient in using it, but he has never encountered the damage of this light brain, after restarting it many times, he finally gave up this favorite on weekdays, and took out a small superconducting communication device, but the communication equipment is very innocent - "The device is not in the Beidou system service area!" β
"MD, am I falling out of the galaxy! Disasters don't go alone......" Qin Kai looked up at the sky depressedly, "No, it's obviously one after another!" β
As a last resort, Qin Kai could only exert the spirit of special training, and devoted himself to the great cause of conquering the two nearby mountains, fortunately, the weather was good, when he climbed the second peak in sweat, a prompt sound of "ding" suddenly sounded in his mind, and a soft voice sounded in his mind again: "Hello, Qin Kai, the biological energy reserve has reached the first level!" β
"Damn! It turns out that there is such a ......" He immediately redirected the light brain, but the soft prompt sound sounded again and again, shattering his dream.
Looking at the well-made compass on the dagger he carried, this allowed Qin Kai to find some evidence that he was still on the earth, and after two hours of walking, Qin Kai found a big road, which was a three-lane hard dirt road, and in his memory, this kind of road should not be stored even in the poorest villages, which made him a little confused.
Soon after, he encountered a large group of merchants' horse-drawn wagons and Fuzhou merchant He Xing...... He was stunned to see what he could only see in this TV series!
He Xing is a standard southerner, he has long passed the age of standing, not tall, slightly vicissitudes of life, bronzed skin shows his professional characteristics, he has traveled by sea to Qinzhou and other places in the westernmost part of Guangdong all the year round, and trafficked goods from Fujian and Guangzhou to the inland cities there. ,
He was at the port of Canton, where there were soldiers and Western merchants from all over the world, all dressed in strange costumes. Relatively speaking, Qin Kai's tactical suit, in the evolution of later generations for hundreds of years, has become more casual style, and has a style of Chinese elements, so he was the first to judge that this young man must have some origins.
Seeing Qin Kai's surprised expression and unpredictable look, He Xing took the initiative to step forward and talk, "This little brother, where are you going?" β
Seeing that someone was talking, Qin Kai put away his face, and it was not difficult for the other party to communicate with the official dialect with a Hokkien accent, he thought about it, and still asked very idiotically, "This big brother, are you here to shoot the exterior?" β
He Xing was stunned and asked rhetorically: "Shoot the exterior ...... This little brother, what is that? I heard that there is a photo studio opened by Westerners at the Guangzhou port, what does the little brother refer to? β
Westerners...... Qin Kai was depressed for a while, this term seems to be the general name of the Chinese people for European and American countries before the 19th century, after the New Democratic Revolution, with the popularization of world geographical knowledge, it was replaced by the name of the country.
"Damn, is it really a crossover? Or the XIX century! Who made such a big joke on me and sent me to 500 years ago, did you want me to come to find a marriage in my previous life? Qin Kai secretly cursed every god in his heart. Of course, he also knew that if he said too much, he would lose, hehe said two sentences, and no longer discussed this issue with He Xingduo, and immediately changed the topic very professionally, "This eldest brother's surname, my name is Qin Kai!" β
He Xing hurriedly arched his hand, "Don't be expensive, the surname is He Danmingxing, we are going back to Fuzhou, little brother, where are you going?" It's not safe to walk alone on the official road, so why don't you follow the caravan! β
"I'm also going to Fuzhou, but there is Brother Lao He", Qin Kai immediately responded.
Along the way, it was calm, calm and even a little boring, except for quietly listening to He Xing's chat with his buddy, he rarely expressed his opinions, however, it can be seen that He Xing is also very interested in himself, and often has nothing to do with himself to talk a few words, but when it comes to privacy issues, He Xing is very interested in bypassing it, which makes him quite good.
Qin Kai's explanation of his origin is also vague that he returned from studying abroad and went to Fuzhou Mansion to find relatives, and it was a little surprising that He Xing did not show any surprise at all for this overseas study, obviously studying abroad in this era is no longer a fantasy.
Although he was very low-key and rarely spoke, but soon everyone in the caravan knew about Qin Kai, because Qin Kai was the only one who never sat in a car, and he had a large amount of food, and he had nothing to do when he was full, so he ran with the captain of the caravan all the way.
Qin Kai was very depressed in his heart, but his current appearance is indeed similar to that of a madman, the tactical suit can no longer be worn, that thing is too abrupt, he is now wearing a set of short coats and trousers given by He Xing, you must know that he is a whole head taller than He Xing, so this set of clothes is really very "decent", and it can almost be described as concave and convex......
Finally, after running with the caravan leader for more than ten days, in the moonlit night, the soft prompt tone of the light brain sister finally changed, "Hello, Qin Kai, the bioenergy reserve has reached level 10, and you can guide the mandatory repair plan!" β
After being confirmed, after a full two hours of operation, when the last half of the bioenergy display was left, the lovely voice of the light brain sounded, and it hit Qin Kai again.
"Hello, Qin Kai, I am very sorry to inform you that due to unpredictable reasons, the light brain has not been able to complete the repair, this is the current repair situation!"
A hologram was displayed in Qin Kai's mind, which showed that the repair rate of the number jΓΉ area of the light brain was only 10%, but this was not the crux of the problem, the hologram showed that the core components of the light brain had an unexplained failure of 0.03 per thousand, which was the most fatal problem.
"Can the light brain work now?"
"Hello, Qin Kai, it can only be run in basic mode, and it can provide number jΓΉ calculus, holograms, and partial number jΓΉ retrieval and analysis." The light brain replied elegantly in a soft female voice.
Hearing that a revolutionary light brain had this function left, Qin Kai was furious, "Is it possible for the light brain to be completely repaired?" β,
"Hello, Qin Kai, since there is no similar historical record to compare, with a scientific attitude, the probability of complete repair is less than 10%!" At the same time, the light brain also informed him that only with sufficient bioenergy reserves could he carry out the next step of repair.
ββ¦β¦ All right! Qin Kai shook his head, he cursed this damn light brain no less than ten times in his mind, it seems that he didn't come to this era to look for the marriage of 500 years ago, but to conduct devil training!
But now the light brain can finally run, and when communicating with the light brain, he feels that he is not a time-traveling molecule, but more like the feeling of returning to his previous life, and seeing the images of his parents, girlfriends, and iron buddies in his previous life stored in zΓ i's light brain, he has a dream-like feeling, but soon reality destroyed his dreams again, and now even eating is a problem......
After retrieving the information collected in the small talk, Qin Kai's speculation was verified that the current era should be after the Opium War, but the specific era or year name, He Xing never mentioned it in the chat.
The road was peaceful, two days later, when entering the city, Qin Kai encountered a little trouble, a team of Qing soldiers guarding the city gate, after blatantly collecting the caravan's filial piety, one of the leaders looked like a person unexpectedly glanced at Qin Kai, found that he did not have that eye-catching pig tail, and immediately came up to interrogate the matter.
Qin Kai explained his origin in a low-key manner, and He Xing explained two sentences very righteously, but obviously, it seemed that it was He Xing who took out a handful of copper coins that played a role.
After entering the city, he naturally wanted to thank He Xing for his timely help, but the embarrassing thing was that he couldn't take out a copper plate on his body, He Xing was very righteous and wrapped a handful of copper coins to him, and said happily: "Brother Qin Kai, our He family is next to the West City Gate, it's easy to find, if you have something, you might as well come to me!" β
He was quite moved by the generosity of this Fujian man, and after waving goodbye, Qin Kai figured out the only living expenses at present, but now he had to find a place to settle down.
The map of Fuzhou Mansion in this era and the map in his portable light brain is very different, which makes Qin Kai a little depressed, after walking for a while, after buying a few baked cakes, he was surprised to find that a newspaper was sold at the door of a bookstore, and after spending 30 wen to buy it, he found a cheap small inn, and after paying 150 yuan for three days, he hurriedly hid in the house.
The current situation made Qin Kai understand the situation of "a hero who is hard to die for a penny", and after thanking the generous He Xing again, he took out the bag of copper coins and counted them carefully, these are Guangxu heavy treasures, which are marked with Chinese characters for five and ten, with a total of 540 texts.
Started the light brain search, only to find that these copper coins in later generations can be regarded as treasures, this is the last measure of currency issuance at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and in his time, the Shengshi heavy collection, this kind of copper coins are more than a high-end household light brain, but unfortunately, just now he bought three baked cakes on the side of the road, and used up three Guangxu heavy treasure copper coins.
Qin Kai took out the newspaper while nibbling on the baked cakes, saying that this is a newspaper, which is actually a bit far-fetched, because this newspaper has no name at all, and the guy in the bookstore said that this is called "Beijing Daily", but in fact it is just a large white paper, with dense words printed on it, and the layout is a vertical layout from right to left in the old style, and the first line is printed: "The full record of Beijing News on January 20, the fifth year of Guangxu!" β
The content is a certain official in a certain place to play a certain matter, which seems to be a special way of transmitting national information in this era, and the merchants of Beijing have printed all kinds of official information copied into pages, which has become the prototype of the newspaper of this era, and at the end of the Beijing newspaper, the date of reprinting, the seventh day of the second month.
This time I finally found important information, the light brain immediately gave the result, it is now 1879 AD, the fifth year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, and some unexpected information is that two important people appeared in this year, Einstein and Stalin were just born. The former ushered in an era of science, and the latter, no matter how the West denied him, no matter what its aims, Stalin was of great help at the beginning of the republic.
Subconsciously, Qin Kai looked at the Japan of this era in the twelfth year of the Meiji era, and the neighbors who were difficult to change in their previous life had begun to change for twelve years, and in this year, they began to expand their crimes, and the Ryukyu Kingdom, which had been a vassal of China for thousands of years, was forcibly incorporated into the Japanese territory and renamed Okinawa. ,
Qin Kai was very depressed thinking about his future livelihood, although the more than 500 copper coins in his pocket could be used for ten days if he was thrifty, but he had always been accustomed to making plans early, and he was not prepared to think about eating until he couldn't open the pot.
After a hard day of gnawing on the baked cakes, early the next morning, he asked the guy about the address of the nearby pawnshop, and gave a tip of 10 Wen, and learned about the rules of this pawn. β
Turning two streets, Qin Kai finally found the pawnshop introduced by the guy, the store is not big, it is only four meters wide, after entering, the place is even more cramped, the place outside the entire counter is not more than five or six square meters, he also came early, there is no one at this time, behind the counter more than four feet high, there is a gentleman sitting high.
Qin Kai was wearing the robe and horse coat that He Xing had gotten, because it didn't fit well, it naturally made people look very awkward, the gentleman of this family was called Lin Shan, and he was squinting at this time, doing this business, they were all characters with iron mouths and steel teeth and vicious eyes, and this Lin Shan's vision was also the best in Fuzhou.
He immediately noticed that the pair of military leather boots that Luo Dong was wearing, although they were quite dusty because they were not carefully wiped, but this style was a little better than the boots of the official master in the yamen...... What era is it now, and without braids, it is one of the few things that only a few cows dare to do!
Qin Kai saw that Mr. Dangdang was staring at him, and he didn't know what the other party was thinking, so he raised his legs and went to the counter, only to find out that the counter was really high, thinking of the situation in the film and television dramas he watched in later generations, he realized that the pawnshop counter was deliberately made so high.
The one who came to the pawnshop was not in a hurry to wait for money, such a high counter, and the things had to be lifted up, which made people feel like they were begging, and the Mr. Dangdang, who was high up behind the counter, would naturally make good use of this psychological hint and say that the pawn was worthless, so that the pawnshop could make more money.
Smack, Qin Kai put a small cloth bag on the counter, and said in a rough voice: "Shopkeeper, look at how much silver I brought back from the West!" β
When Lin Shan heard it, he was right, it seems that this is a big deal today, for the sake of the business, he can lower his figure, pick up the cloth bag and open it carefully, inside is a delicate clock, but this volume is too small, even if he is well-informed, he doesn't know it, "Guest officer, this is a small clock?!" β
Qin Kai heard the black line on his face, and his light brain immediately found the reason, although the clocks for timing have been produced for nearly a thousand years, and the Western clocks have a history of hundreds of years, but the oldest watch that can be worn on the wrist is the bracelet watch made by the Hungarian Royal Jewelry Factory for the Queen of Hungary a few years ago, and the watch began to be popularized, and it was not until the First World War that this closed Fujian pawnshop naturally did not understand these.
Qin Kai nodded and said, "This is a clock that can be worn on the wrist!" How much can it be? "Actually, in addition to timekeeping, this watch also has functions such as encrypted call communication, and under special circumstances, it can also become a murder weapon, but in a different time and space, these magical functions have become pure decorations, and he didn't expect to be able to use these auxiliary functions, first solve the problem of eating.
Lin Shan was out of sight today, because he really couldn't estimate the specific value of this thing, just looking at the titanium alloy shell and workmanship and the exquisiteness of this watch, the value was already very amazing, he thought about it and asked, "Guest officer, are you going to die?" Or do you want to live? β
"Dead? Live? What does that mean? "Poor Qin Kai, who was born in New China, played pawn things for the first time, even in the era of information explosion, he was never prepared to understand these special languages.
"Death, is a one-time sale to the store, no longer redeemed, the price can be 5% higher, if you live, redeem within a week, add a cost, add 3 percent a month, add 5 percent in two months, and after two months, you can't redeem it again." Mr. Lin saw that the guest was a rookie, so he naturally began to sharpen his knife without hesitation.
"Live, I'll come back in a month at most to redeem it!" Qin Kai replied without hesitation.
"That can be 100 taels of cash, redeemed within 7 days, ransom 110 taels, 130 taels for one month, 150 taels for two months, can the guest officer?"
Qin Kai didn't have the heart to bargain, 100 taels of silver, the light brain had already calculated the purchasing power according to the price at the end of the Qing Dynasty, it was a lot of money, enough to deal with the problem of eating for a long time, and immediately after he signed the drawing, he went out with the silver, he still had important things to do......
