Blackstone Code

"Lynch was very small when he was born, just this big, not much bigger than a kitten or puppy."

"He was able to open his eyes when he was born. I thought he could see me, but the doctor told me that he couldn't actually see anything at that time."

"When I held him, his first pee was on my chest. What's more interesting is that a few minutes later, he started sucking milk..."

Lynch couldn't help but interrupt Serra's memories of the past, "You can skip this part, no one is interested in it."

Catherine was smiling from ear to ear, looking at Lynch with her crooked eyes, "You never told me this."

Lynch raised his brows and wiped his face, "I didn't remember anything at that time."

These things were all said by Sera, who liked to talk about the things that caused Lynch's embarrassment very much, both before and even more so now.

Of course, this is also annoying. She only talks about these things when she is around people close to her. She never shares these little stories with others.

Sierra looked at Lynch with a smile, "Then let's skip this and talk about you peeing on your face..."

Lynch opened his mouth, but seeing Catherine listening with great interest, he took out a cigarette and said, "I'll go to the door to smoke a cigarette."

Sometimes you can't resist, so don't bother anymore.

Before closing the door, he heard Catherine's voice——

"How did he pee on his face?"

Although these things actually have nothing to do with Lynch, they were done by "Lynch". Even strictly speaking, before forming an independent personality, the little baby was just acting according to the instinct of the species.

He is not Lynch, nor is he "Lynch". He is not even a person, only instinct!

You can't expect a baby who lives by instinct to know what to do and how to do it. This is unscientific.

He breathed a sigh of relief after coming out of the door. Apart from the security personnel, there were only two nurses on duty at the nurse station not far away in the entire corridor.

There is only one "resident" named Catherine in the entire building. This is the value and meaning of wealth.

Compared with having to reserve a bed almost a month in advance and then being squeezed into a ward with other people.

Giving birth in an environment without much privacy and then staying there for a few days before going home.

The convenience brought by wealth is most vividly demonstrated at this moment.

There is no need to make an appointment and you can check in anytime and anywhere. Lynch and Catherine can even take a roster and select the doctors and nurses who serve her in this building.

Pick their gender, the school they graduated from, their outstanding performance, their work history, and even their skin color and political affiliation!

This is something the patients in the inpatient building next door would never imagine!

Bodyguards have taken over the security of the entire building, and there are even several armored transport vehicles downstairs to prevent the transfer of fire lines that may occur anytime and anywhere.

Two shifts of doctors are on call 24 hours a day, and the water in the warm pool in the delivery room is changed every hour.

"Mr. Lynch..."

The supervisor of this operation took the initiative to greet Lynch. He saw the cigarette box in Lynch's hand, and then took out a lighter.

"Thank you!" Lynch lit the cigarette and patted the back of his hand. "Do you have any opinions about staying?"

You can't just stand and smoke. Lynch is not an autistic person. On the contrary, he is very talented in social aspects.

The director shook his head, "Actually, many of us don't want to leave the Federation. The environment we grew up in has always been in the country, and there are all the things here that are difficult for us to give up."

“Family, friends, those surroundings that are familiar and comfortable to us.”

People like Lynch, the middle and upper classes of Global Communications Service Company, will live in shelters along the equator.

Some Blackstone Security employees will also pass, but many more will stay on federal soil.

There is no "death order" for these people within the company. Those who are willing to go to the Equator can apply, and those who are willing to stay can also apply, and the company has issued an internal announcement.

Even if they go to the equator, they will return to the federal replacement every once in a while.

The Machinery Manufacturing Department of Global Communication Services Company has developed a single-trip route from the equator to the southernmost shelter of the Federation within three weeks, as well as mobile tools.

But no matter what, the first group of people must face some psychological pressure, a kind of psychological pressure of "Am I abandoned?"

Lynch wasn't too sure about the mood of the employees within the company. He couldn't ask about everything in detail. Naturally, there was a dedicated person in charge of this matter.

But if he had the opportunity to know some real situations, he would naturally not give up.

When those at the top lose control of power, they often start by knowing nothing about the grassroots.

Lynch also seemed very happy to hear his supervisor talk about the issue of staying behind so optimistically, "This is a very smart choice!"

"The remaining employees will be paid according to the standard work allowance, with at least three credits."

When talking about this, Lynch slightly emphasized his tone. Three credits are not a small amount of money.

Judging from the current situation, the price of one ounce of gold has soared to nearly 300 yuan.

One ounce of gold is exchanged for one credit point, and three credit points are close to one thousand yuan.

In fact, after two years, each credit point will definitely exceed 300 yuan or even 400 yuan compared to the current monetary system.

More than a thousand yuan a month, even now with severe inflation, is an unimaginable amount of wealth for ordinary people.

The supervisor was a little curious, "If we can't use the current federal Sol, how can we find a reference object to refer to its value?"

"I mean, I have to talk to the other employees and let them know how much they are getting paid a month."

"A lot of people are troubled by this."

Lynch listened to him and nodded, not sure how strong the credit was, which was actually normal.

Nowadays, gold prices and currency values ​​fluctuate greatly, and people are actually unsure.

Lynch used a very simple example to explain specifically, "My view is after the letter of credit system completely replaces the existing currency."

"You only need one credit point to help a young and beautiful girl solve her dilemma and bring her an income."

“Two credits can allow a person to live comfortably in a shelter for a month!”

The supervisor was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Lynch to use such an example, but at this moment, he knew the approximate value of the credit points.

"Should I say this is a great example?", he wasn't sure if he should praise Lynch.

Lynch patted his arm and said, "If you have the idea of ​​praising me, there is no need to ask my opinion."

The supervisor couldn't help laughing, "Mr. Lynch, you are the funniest, most likeable and respected person I have ever met, bar none!"

Compared with those big shots who put on airs, Lynch behaves like a very ordinary person, not a rich man.

He doesn't have much airs, is not arrogant, and can even be said to be very kind.

Lynch gave him a cigarette and said, "Praise me once is enough, too many words will make me embarrassed!"

"Please pay more attention these days. I will ask the sergeant to add a level of settlement to your work later."

The conversation should have ended at this point. The supervisor was not an idiot and he immediately expressed his gratitude.

Adding one level of settlement can increase their income from this mission by about ten percent, which is also a considerable amount of income.

After taking the last puff of his cigarette, Lynch put out his cigarette on the trash can at hand and returned to the room.

"Ladies, are you done talking about my terrible childhood?"

Sierra patted the sofa next to her, "Of course, you have already hid, I can't let you hide anymore."

"Let's talk about names again."

"The doctor said it might be next month. Do you have any thoughts on the naming issue?"

Naming is not a simple matter.

His eldest son, the child of Momo and her girlfriend, is called Adam.

This name is actually “big” because according to the story in the Bible, God’s first child was called Adam.

Severella's two children were named after Mr. Wardrick's family tradition, the older one Haynes, the younger Haynes, and then a string of names with various meanings.

From the perspective of naming, these two children have actually broken away from the "patrilineal family relationship" with Lynch as the core.

And Catherine's child, in another world's way of calling it, is a "legitimate son."

This is the first child that Lynch himself will publicly admit, and will definitely have a legally recognized father-son or father-daughter relationship with Lynch in the future, not just a physical connection.

So the naming was very careful, but it was also a bit difficult for Lynch.

He thought for a long time, took out all the knowledge in his mind, and finally found a suitable name.

"If it's a boy, call him 'Lius'."

"What if it's a girl?", Catherine asked.

"Then call her 'Fei Jiali'."

Catherine repeated the two names back and forth, not sure she understood what Lynch meant by them.

On the contrary, Sera on the side quickly reacted, "This means the sun and the moon. When did you read Ancient Common Language?"

"When studying world history."

The lingua franca used in the world today is actually a language system that has evolved many times. Before that, it was not as simplified as it is now for the convenience of communication.

And the pronunciation has also changed very significantly.

In Old Common, the name Lius means "sun" and Figali means "moon".

After hearing this, Catherine thought about it twice and nodded in approval of Lynch's decision.

"The name is good, that's it!"
