Nanhua City, located on the Tropic of Cancer, only spring and summer. Late spring is as hot as midsummer. The electric fan at home cannot meet the needs of residents at all. On that day, the mother and son blew the cool river breeze of early summer nights, smeared the joy beans and wowhaha. They 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 1st after Li Mu was reborn, and it did not leave my mother with regrets.

That night, Xiao Limu couldn't sleep.

What he thought about was the more than 6,000 people who died in July, including Chinese and Africans, most of them were elderly, children and women who could not run and could not swim. They were soaked in a mixture of yellow and orange mud and water and waited hard, and eventually they were soaked or starved to death in the water without help.

Drowning from drowning and starving are far more painful than hanging, hacking, and dying from excessive bleeding.

——I should do something.

He thought stubbornly.

——You can’t do nothing just because you are afraid of being investigated.

Encourage yourself not to be afraid of being investigated by the government or some false institutions.

——The greater the strength, the greater the responsibility. Whether you are an official, a businessman, three wives and four concubines, or a great cartoonist...

No matter what, how can you not do what you should do?

More importantly, Limu thinks he knows some code, the ones he is most familiar with is Java programming, C++ and C#, and the "injection-attack" model is also slightly involved. Although there are many experts in the world, he is not confident that he will not leave any traces on the Internet, but the encoding technology that is more than ten years ahead of contemporary times is not a big deal. It will definitely be very difficult to track him down.

But there is something that makes Limu very confused.

In 1998, computers and the Internet were not popular in China, and even the famous Google, which later generations, was still in an unimplemented plan at the university. The big-name CCS half-life was not published until November.

Forums and chat rooms are still in a practical concept state.

At that time, search websites did not rely on search engines, and in this era it was just the "yellow page era" that manually entered web page directories in the database. It would only be the "search engine era" that slowly showed its power in the next two years.

——Can information be spread in China using computers under this state?

Listing advertisements in newspapers and going to TV is the best choice to spread information, but Limu cannot do this, and he does not want to involve his family.

After a week of thinking, he finally secretly smashed his piggy bank. The piggy had a lot of colorful intestines. Most of these "colorful intestines" were 150 cents coins, a lot of one dollar, and a lot of banknotes for red tickets. The largest one was a dark blue old man.

It was ready. On June 6th, he came to a place he would never go to at his age. It was called an "Internet cafe" by later generations. Now, because the Internet is not popular yet, "Internet cafe" is temporarily called a "computer room" in this era. If you want to surf the Internet in the computer room, you will have to add additional fees.

【Weichang Computer Room】

When he was standing in front of this store on the street of Jiangbin Road after breakfast, Limu saw such a boss's ostentatious sign.

He came here openly from his home—

You can see the bulky monitor standing at the door. The rather ugly host case is still placed horizontally, pressed under the monitor and making a buzzing roar. It is estimated that 3.1-inch disk ports are rarely used at this moment or in the future. On a computer screen with some flashing flashes, only three or four computers are in the office, and the rest show games such as Diablo, Red Alert, King of Fighters.

It was this kind of complex place where the crowds were so complicated that Limu walked over in a leisurely manner.

Well, the police investigation and handling are not very strict, and it doesn’t matter how old it is.

From the beginning, Rimu thought so.

During this period, although the public security has issued regulations on computer rooms, there are few children who can play computer games, so there are not many incidents of parents complaining about the computer room taking in children.

Recalling the childhood of Pingnan Village, this computer room seemed to have never been banned - it was changed from the computer room to an Internet cafe, and changed its name and moved the place, but in fact it became bigger and bigger and opened a branch. The Internet cafe atmosphere was pretty good at this time. There were no large number of Internet-addicted teenagers who were obsessed with playing online games, and the chances of being robbed were less.

If Li Mu is really robbed by the "big brothers" of Li Mu, he would not be very worried. He only brought 50 yuan out, and even if he was robbed, he would not lose all his money. Besides, this is a highway in Nanjiang District. You can see the street name sign with "Jiangbin Road" written on the roadside sign. No one should ignore it when he ran out and cried.

Fifty yuan... is equivalent to five trains from my mother. According to the average situation of someone taking the car every one or two hours off-season, this money is equivalent to the income of my mother for seven or eight hours of working. If she is really robbed Limu, she will definitely resist to the end!

There are many forks on the right side of Jiangbin Road. The first is the entrance of Pingnan Village, the middle is the entrance of Nanhua Theater, and not far away there is the school road leading to No. 10 Middle School and Nanjiang Primary School. Later, there is the "Xiyuan" where government officials take a vacation. The farthest at the end of the road is the entrance of Dan Village.

It should be located in the middle of Jiangbin Road now. Limu thought so and identified his location in the map in his mind. Although it was very sketchy, Limu could still guess where he was based on the stationery store next to him. As the first area to develop in Nanhua City, the geographical situation of Nanjiang District is quite complicated.

It is different from the big-leaf banyan on Taoyuan Road. The almond trees planted on Jiangbin Road. At first glance, it is difficult to distinguish this tree from the mango trees, but when they bear fruit, it is clear at a glance. The size of the fruits they bear is very different. I don’t know how the greening work was done at the beginning. Two mango trees appeared among the large almond trees.

On the sidewalk behind the green belt are all small shops full of men, including badminton, swimsuits and other sports products. After all, the other end of the Nanhua Theater is one of the two unique gymnasiums in the city. In its prosperous period in 1998, black people can often be seen walking on the riverside road. If a naughty child calls them "nigger", they will immediately catch up and scream.

【Weichang Computer Room】

Limu cared about this ostentatious signboard, and wrote such words in golden paint on the black advertising page. "Weichang" is undoubtedly the boss's name, while "Computer Room" illustrates the business of it.

The signboard is placed at the junction of the first and second floors. The entrance is openly opened below. You can vaguely see the stairs leading upstairs in the room. The boss put the computer on the first floor without fear.

It seems that the boss is not afraid of the police coming to investigate.

Limu thought this way and walked into the computer room leisurely.

Suddenly I felt like someone was looking at him from somewhere, so I looked around and saw a cheek bone bulging on the counter. A man with a very southern characteristic was staring at him, with sharp eyes as if he was staring at prey.

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

"How do you charge?" Limu walked over and asked a short question.

Limu entered the Internet cafe for the first time in the sixth grade, and then his home bought him a computer, which was a high-configuration desktop computer worth 7,999 yuan. He has never been to the Internet cafe several times since he had his own computer. He often studied vc and vb at home, which caused computer poisoning. As he practiced, he became a good computer repairer. In addition to comics, computers are the second thing he is interested in, but there is still a fundamental difference between interests and ideals.

Limu's ideal is a great cartoonist, and his interest is a computer. As a result, because of life, he eventually developed his interest into work and derogated his ideal into interest.

"Are you the only one?" asked the network administrator.

"Yes."

Rimu wondered, would it take a group to start the computer?

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

"I want to search for learning materials online."

"I'll ask, are you 18 years old?" The network administrator made the final confirmation.

"That... I just want to check some study materials. Here... I need an adult to accompany you to enter?" Limu asked. This is different from what he imagined. I used to hear that minors were not investigated when they entered this Internet cafe. I thought the boss had a major background. Now it seems that the actual reason is that the management is strict.

There is a brand new registration book at one end of the counter, and the visitor's name and ID number are written line by line. The book has been written to the last few pages, and it seems that it is about to replace a new book. A printed order next to it says: [The fee for accessing the machine is 5 yuan/hour], [The fee for accessing the Internet is 15 yuan/hour].

"We need to dial up and access the Internet when checking information. We charge 15 yuan per hour here..."

Limu put his hand into his pants' pocket and was about to take out the money that was put inside.

"...But you can't come in without an adult accompanying you." The network administrator did not doubt whether the child in front of him came to check the information. This was impossible for him to think. Now he only doubts whether the child who seems to be 7 or 8 years old will use the computer.

"Call your boss, I can't let me in if I have money." Even though he was blocked, Limu still took out the money from his pocket and acted like a gangster.

"I am the boss, I have the final say. You can't come in without the accompanying you." The network administrator, well, the computer room boss is very determined about minors entering the computer room.

In fact, when I entered the computer room, Limu discovered that there were very few computers in the computer room, unlike the later Internet cafes, which had dozens or hundreds of computers. Apart from the row that could be seen at the door, there were only 18 PCs in total. However, the total price should be about 200,000 yuan. The boss who dared to pay the money when this industry was not yet formed has absolutely admirable courage.

There was no choice but to collect the money and walk out of the computer room in shame.

Limu had never thought about buying a computer himself, but he had no money on hand. He could only earn money after the "Alchemist of Steel" was successfully submitted and sold. He was not very confident that he could ask his parents to spend tens of thousands of dollars to help him buy a computer, or that he had to do it that was amazing enough to do it.

——What should I do?

Writing anonymous letters is indeed a good way. Not to mention the past and present, even in the 21st century when the investigation technology is more mature, anonymous letters containing virus powder or proclaiming crimes are difficult to trace to the source. However, the efficiency of writing letters is very slow, and letter paper and envelopes are quite expensive, and if you add stamps, you can't send a few letters at all.

Considering the disadvantages of using letters, Limu is in trouble again. Even if he takes all the money in the piggy bank, he will probably only send about 60 copies. But Limu is not unable to add the value of the letter. There is no popular letter curse in China at this time. If you send dozens of cursed letters to middle school students [if you don’t forward the letters to ten people, you will encounter misfortune], there must be a few students who will be caught.

The only problem is that the spread is slow...

——No, there is still a chance!
