December 15th.

Country Z, Imperial City.

The seat of the highest authority of a country.

In a secret meeting room, several senior senior officials from country Z, as well as some officials from the Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of Industry, sat at a large round table, discussing a top-secret topic with serious faces.

In addition, on several screens hanging above the conference room, several figures appeared through remote video links... and behind these figures, there was an office computer.

The monitors of these office computers were all turned on, and what was displayed on the monitor screens was the same scene - a giant technology tree growing on a planet under the starry sky.

After a long time, Mr. Zhang, who was sitting at the top, spoke.

"Is this a gift from aliens or a prank by a hacker group? Who can explain its origin?"

"Several of our state-owned enterprises use encrypted networks that are impossible for ordinary hacker organizations to break. What's more, to break into multiple computers without leaving any trace in a short period of time, it may only require alien network technology. , to achieve this level.”

The Cyber ​​Security Department official shook his head and said.

Si~

Everyone in the conference room took a deep breath. Could it be that aliens are eyeing this planet that has not yet left the universe?

"Maybe they are not aliens. How can aliens learn Chinese so well? They use words appropriately, have standard pronunciation, and also add some cuteness elements. Obviously, if it is not for the culture of country Z, We have a deep understanding of it, and it is impossible to translate those technical materials into such... localized form."

Mr. Li said, putting forward his point of view.

"What if the alien is an expert in Country Z and loves the culture of Country Z? Otherwise, why does it seem that this website is only found in Country Z, but not abroad?"

Another old man said, firmly believing: The developer of this website is an alien or a group of aliens!

Earthlings are excluded!

Why?

Because some of the technologies on this website have not been fully mastered by the people on earth so far, or are still being studied.

If a mysterious organization on the earth had developed these technologies, the earth would have been ruled by them long ago.

Of course, an official who is familiar with Internet literature wondered whether an ordinary person had obtained the technological inheritance of aliens and wanted to help Country Z in this way?

From the technical information on this website, which requires payment, we can see that ordinary people who own these alien technologies may be short of money.

But this reasonable-sounding guess was quickly unanimously rejected.

Because if that ordinary person is short of money, with so many technologies, if he just takes out a few of them, opens a few companies of his own, and becomes the richest man in the world in a few years, he may be short of money?

There is also the hacker technology that can enter the internal network of state-owned enterprises without anyone noticing. If he is willing, he can get tens of billions from banks in minutes. Is it necessary to take out these technologies and sell them at a low price?

Besides, so many valuable technologies are given away without receiving a penny. Are aliens fools?

Always charge a nominal fee!

So after eliminating all kinds of speculations, everyone unanimously concluded that the creator of this website is most likely an alien!

The intention is not very clear, but it seems that he is an alien who wants to help Country Z.

"Our intelligence force has conducted an exhaustive investigation. It is true that this website does not exist abroad. Even in China, there are very few people who know about this website."

"Is all the information in it true? Is it 100% usable?" Mr. Zhang asked.

"Experts have conducted analysis and unanimously believe that the reference value is huge! It is recommended to conduct research!"

"How many technical branches have we collected so far?" Mr. Zhang asked again.

"There are six branches in total, namely the power branch, alloy materials branch, energy branch, industrial machine tool branch, chip manufacturing branch and computer branch." said the Minister of Industry.

This is the strange thing about the technology tree website. It only opens a small branch to each binder, and it is not fully open. Binders can only follow this branch in the field they are struggling in. Keep going to avoid the waste of resources and prevent the expansion of personal desires from generating some destructive ideas.

In addition, each person bound to this website is unique and cannot be changed (even the computer cannot be moved or replaced). Only they have the authority to log into the technology tree network, as well as the authority to purchase and download information (downloaded information) It has an anti-theft function that cannot be cracked and can only be downloaded once. If you download it twice, you need to pay again). Other non-bound users are strictly prohibited from watching free content at close range (the camera will automatically scan).

"These six branches are crucial to the future development of our country. Although we have achieved some international leading advantages in a small number of fields, it is not enough! Investment should be increased to accelerate the development of these fields, especially in the field of materials, In the field of power and chip manufacturing, we have too many debts. If we spend tens or hundreds of billions, we may not be able to recover the time lost. Foreign countries have not relaxed their blockade on us for a day. Now there are There is an opportunity in front of you, even if you have to pay some tuition, it is very worth it!"

Mr. Zhang said in a deep voice.

"What does Comrade Zhang mean?"

Everyone looked at him, vaguely guessing what he was going to say.

"Set up a top-secret technical team and ask the Ministry of Finance to allocate 10 billion to be responsible for the procurement of advanced technology!"

Mr. Zhang finally made the decision.

…

Hangzhou.

Demon Liquid Research Institute, President's Office.

The Rubik's Cube on the desk lit up again.

"Master, master, someone has placed an order again. They placed many orders at once and bought a lot of technology." Yuanyi's excited voice came.

"Oh, what technologies were purchased separately?" Zhou Ming asked.

"Well, there are "Manufacturing of High Temperature Metal Alloys", "Aerospace Engines with a Thrust-to-Weight Ratio of 20", "5-nanometer Photolithography Machines", "5-nanometer Chip Manufacturing", "Exascale Electronic Computers", "Graphene Batteries", There are also "High Thrust Rocket Engine" and "Nuclear Fusion Power Plant"... I bought more than 20 pieces of information in total and spent more than 2 billion." Yuanyi's voice revealed the joy of spending a small amount of money.

Zhou Ming was no longer calm.

Generous.

What a great deal!

Except for the country, he could not imagine that ordinary people would spend money so readily, spending billions of dollars without batting an eyelid.

A slight smile appeared on his lips.

Interesting.

The next development will definitely become very interesting.

then.

In the next few days, as expected by Zhou Ming, more and more people paid to place orders on the TechTree website. Among the first batch of 104 binders, 101 people paid to purchase information. .

Zhou Ming was annoyed by the remaining three people who had not paid for it, so he asked Yuanyi to push a notification: if they did not consume within a month after binding, TechTree would unbind them and never come back again.

The next day, the last three guys quickly took out their money. Such unfavorable behavior made Zhou Ming consider whether among the 864 "destined people" selected in the second batch, they should be eliminated based on their performance. A batch, otherwise this great website, this piece of pie is almost a piece of pie falling from the sky, and no one will cherish it.

…

December 24th.

This day is the day before Christmas.

Zhou Ming drove to Hangzhou University of Science and Technology to pick up his wife and go home.

The weather is very cold, and the festival atmosphere is very strong on campus. You can see people dressed in Santa Claus costumes walking around, and you can see some student couples giving gifts to each other, showing off their love and spreading dog food.

This is the best time to express your feelings. You can take this opportunity to express your feelings and good feelings that you couldn't express in the past to the person you like.

Naturally, the owners of hotels near the school will also seize this opportunity and make a lot of money.

To be honest, Zhou Ming doesn't like these festivals from the West. He doesn't enjoy his own country's festivals well. He always does them to find opportunities for romance and excuses for depravity. But there are just some people who like to make noises, set the rhythm, and have some fun. The test game of "Do you love me or not?" is really boring and childish.

Downstairs of the teaching building in Building C.

get out of class ends in five minutes.

Zhou Ming saw a young man wearing brand names and dressed like a slut, holding ninety-nine roses in his hand. Next to him, there were nine hundred and ninety-nine roses in a luxury sports car worth tens of millions. There were a lot of girls around him. Amid the screaming crowd, smiling, waiting for the person to express his love to appear.

Zhou Ming just glanced at this scene, didn't pay much attention, and prepared to walk into the teaching building.

But in the midst of the discussion, after hearing the words "Teacher Su" in his ears, Zhou Ming paused, stretched out his hand to pull a boy and asked: "Who does this guy want to confess his love to?"

"Who else could it be? Of course it's Teacher Su, the most beautiful teacher in the Philosophy Department of Hangzhou University of Science and Technology. You don't even know her, do you?"

the boy asked strangely.

Test!

Zhou Ming let go of the boy and walked straight to the man holding the rose in his hand. He looked at him with a sullen face and said, "Who wants to confess to my wife?"

"?"

The man was stunned for a moment and said in confusion: "Um, who are you?"

Zhou Ming snatched the rose from his hand, threw it to the ground amid exclamations, stamped it with his foot and said: "My wife is more than three months pregnant and she doesn't know where to stop. What are you doing with these flowers? Don’t you know my wife is allergic to pollen?”

Boom~

There was a crash all around, and the man's eyes widened rapidly, and he said in disbelief: "Pregnant, she is pregnant, how... how is it possible?"

"Don't bother her again, you know?"

Zhou Ming glared at him with a slightly ferocious look, which made the man tremble and couldn't help but nodded.

"Ling ring ring~"

The bell rang. Su Yuxiang, wearing a thick windbreaker, holding a lesson plan in her hand and holding her belly with her other hand, walked out of the corridor with the support of her cousin Song Feifei.

Zhou Ming came over, took the lesson plan, supported her with his hand and said, "Honey, just take good care of the fetus at home. Don't come to any classes. This is not good for the fetus."

Su Yuxiang nodded lightly and said, "I understand. There are only a few days of classes this semester. After this class of students is finished, they will not come to school in the future."

Zhou Ming then said: "In the future, I will take care of my children at home, or go to the company to help me. I don't need to be a teacher anymore."

"Hey, isn't that Chen Zihao? Why is this annoying guy here again?"

When she saw the man driving a sports car, loaded with roses and preparing to leave, Song Feifei said with an unhappy expression.

Turning on the accelerator, Chen Zihao looked back and suddenly saw Su Yuxiang supported by Zhou Ming and Song Feifei walking on the other side. He was speechless and asked the sky in his heart. He shouted in his heart: Brother, you are mistaken. I am confessing to Song Feifei. Not your wife!
