Rhett. Peibo's success has not been without its challenges. Eighteen years ago, he was a homeless man wandering through Mexico City, unclothed and unfed. Later, a local gangster saw that he was tall and had no stupid symptoms, so he half-lured and half-coerced him into a car that was smuggled across the U.S.-Mexico border. In this way, he began his career as a black worker in the United States.

Under the control of local Mexican gangs, he traveled to underground factories in many places in the United States. He worked hard to repay the gang's so-called smuggling fees, and at the same time he had to study English to adapt to local life. In addition, he has never given up his ideals, and he is constantly looking for opportunities to get ahead. Finally, he met the angel of his life in Boston, his wife, Mandy.

Mandy was a top student at MIT at the time. At that time, the martial arts group and internal force weapons were just emerging, and the internal force alloy had just come to the United States from China as a new type of material, and its refining and forging processes were not yet mature. Mandy's major is metal materials.

One day, Mandy's mentor asked Mandy to take a piece of internal force alloy material to a workshop near the school to process it so that it could be used in the laboratory for the next experiment.

And Ritter was an apprentice in this internal force weapon workshop at that time. He was dredging and forging a piece of internal force alloy material that day. In the process, he had to heat it up on the electric stove from time to time, and constantly send what little internal force he had to it inside, while also forging it repeatedly with an air hammer. Because it was too hot, he took off his overalls and wore only a tight vest with two bronzed arms exposed. At this time, he saw a girl with a small nose and small eyes, and a plain-looking girl walked directly into the processing workshop from the outside. Her most striking feature is that she wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses that are as thick as the bottom of a bottle, and if someone tries to look through them to look into her eyes, she will quickly develop a vertigo sensation. So Ritter didn't dare to look at her more, just said hello to her and asked her what she was coming from. After knowing her identity and intentions, he told her to put her things down and go back, and he would process them as required, and when the processing was complete, he would call her to pick it up.

But the girl did not go back at once, but watched him work with great interest, and seemed to be eager to study it. So the two began to talk. At first, Ritter was reluctant to say much because of his stumbling spoken English, but he slowly discovered that the girl named Mandy had a natural affinity for the people she was with, as if she could keep anyone from treating her as an outsider if she spent a few minutes with anyone.

Since then, Mandy has often looked for opportunities to talk to him, and as the two have come into contact with each other, he and Mandy have come together.

Mandy often taught him English in his spare time, and when he was interested in materials science, he took him to school. And Ritter does have a talent for this, and he learns very quickly. Later, Mandy managed to raise a sum of money to pay off the smuggling fees that Rhett "owed" to the gangsters. Later, the two got married, and Ritter finally had legal status in the United States.

Whenever Ritter talked to someone about this painful and sad romantic experience, if Mandy happened to be there, she would laugh and add that at that time she just took a fancy to his tall figure and coveted his beauty, and she didn't expect that he would achieve such great achievements in internal force weapons later.

The beginning of the husband and wife was also quite difficult. After graduating, Mandy turned down the invitations of several large scientific research institutions and established her own small internal force materials research institute with her husband. The purification technology of internal force alloys was invented by Ruiter during this period. But the market has reacted lukewarmly to this technology. He later figured out that the use of internal force alloy to make internal force cold weapons is not to make the purer the material, the better, but to make the "impurities" in the weapon tangibly distributed, and form a special function inside the weapon is the best quality. Although the purified internal force alloy can make the internal force flow smoothly in it, it cannot produce any auxiliary functions directly, and it is not considered a high-quality product for martial artists. But he didn't think about it at the time, so he put down the technology for a while and turned to inventing something else.

That's when they work the most and earn the least. Coupled with the birth of their daughter Samantha, their lives were even worse. Mandy is also a workaholic, and she was in the middle of a long experiment with internal heat weapons, unwilling to give up the job she loved to take care of her daughter. So she brought her widowed mother to Boston to take care of her daughter. Mandy is a mixed-race woman, her mother is Chinese, and unlike the old ladies in the United States, she is ecstatic to be able to take care of her granddaughter. When the old lady came, she took care of her granddaughter and took care of all their housework, and also subsidized her own pension, as if she was afraid that her daughter and son-in-law would not let her do it.

How could Ritter, as a man, be indifferent to this situation! His mother-in-law's behavior stimulated him even more, and during that time he desperately sold his inventions to everyone who could talk to him, but I have to say, with little effect. After all, the number of martial artists in the world at that time was too small, and there were very few people who used the goods, and the people who knew the goods were even rarer. Until he met the little girl.

At a gathering of MIT-graduated Chinese technologists, he met a Chinese named Sima Zhengyi. He was told that although this person was not a martial artist, but just an ordinary person, he was the leader of the largest martial arts organization in China. He came this time to attract Chinese scientists to return to China to conduct research on internal forces. However, according to his observations, the study of internal forces was still a side door at that time, and the truly talented people did not waste their time on it, and Sima's solicitation did not seem to have any effect.

At this time, Ritter was already destitute and crazy, how could he let go of this good opportunity. So he took the initiative to talk to Sima Pan. He didn't know Chinese, and Sima didn't know English. Fortunately, Sima also had a little girl of seven or eight years old with him, although she was young, she spoke English very well, so she acted as a translator between them. At that time, Sima may have listened to too many various sales pitches, so he seemed to be a little absent-minded about the various technologies and products he introduced, and he did not show any interest in the purification technology of the internal force alloy promoted by Ruiter. (I heard that whenever Sima mentioned this incident, he would bang his head against the wall to express his deep remorse.) Later, someone joked that this was actually the source of his encephalopathy. ）

Several other inventions of Ratter failed to arouse the interest of the Chinese. When he was about to despair, the invention called the memory collector succeeded in attracting the attention of the little girl. Only then did he realize that in fact, in this old and young duo, the little girl had quite a big say.

He was surprised that the memory collector could arouse the interest of the other party, because the memory collector can be said to be a very frivolous invention. He originally wanted to invent a new type of communication tool used between warriors, but in the process of research, he found that although this invention can indeed use internal forces to send information, there is currently no corresponding method to decipher the received information. He studied for a long time, but he couldn't overcome this difficulty, and finally had to give up. It can be said that he has only completed half of this invention and has no practicality at all. The reason why he finally said this invention was that he saw that those inventions did not arouse Sima's interest, so he became a dead horse doctor to see if he could seize the last opportunity. As it turned out, he did it right.

He eventually reached an agreement with the Chinese to buy a memory. It's a good deal for him. He asked the other party not to settle all in money, but to take half of the money payment and half of the barter transaction. He demanded twenty amnesticians in exchange for $20,000 plus five hundred kilograms of blackiron. The other party agreed to his request. But the other party also made a request, that is, the 10 memory collectors paid for in money should be completed before the other party leaves the United States, and the other party will bring them directly back to China. The remaining ten memory collectors will be bartered after he has finished making them. Ritter thought about it, and although he felt that the time was a little tight, he was able to complete it, so he also agreed to the other party's request.

So Rhett worked overtime, and finally finished it before the other party left the United States. But the other party's timing is not very accurate. It was not until two days after the agreed time that the Chinese came to pick up the goods. But the other party not only brought 20,000 US dollars, but also brought a volunteer, saying that he wanted to test the performance of the memory collector on the spot.

This volunteer is not Chinese, but a handsome guy with blond hair and blue eyes. Rhett also didn't know how he got together with the Chinese. But that's none of his business, his invention is harmless to the human body anyway, and there's nothing to experiment. In front of the Chinese, he injected a miniature memory collector into the handsome guy's internal bones. It stands to reason that there is no anesthetic treatment, and it is very painful to implant it directly with a needle in such a hurry. But the young man was strong, and did not cry out in pain.

Ritter saw that the little girl felt the effect of gathering memories through the instrument, and nodded at Sima, it seemed that she was very satisfied with the results of the experiment. Ritter couldn't figure out how she was checking. But it was still none of his business, all he could see and think about was the $20,000. Finally, when the other party paid, he put his mind at ease, and watched the other party leave with the remaining nine memory collectors and the handsome guy for the experiment.

Later, the two parties made the other half of the transaction as scheduled. So Ritter used this chicken rib invention, which was useless to him, to get both money and experimental materials. It was also the first pot of gold brought by this transaction that opened the great voyage of the Peibo family to occupy half of the world's internal force weapon research.
