Chapter 391 Do It Yourself

Ren Zhong doesn't care what other students think, but the tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps on.

Occasionally, when he has free time, he looks at those classmates who tried to play "campus bullying" on him but failed, and often thinks, maybe these people are just immature, too young, and their three views are not sound enough. Be more thoughtful, be more tolerant, maybe you can influence some people.

But he did nothing in the end. After all, he was neither afraid of bullying, nor did he want to expand social relations and expand his power here.

When Ren Zhong proposed to change classes, he encountered a little resistance.

The senior officials of the college tried to set up artificial obstacles for his rapid graduation, saying that no one in the census officer college has ever been promoted in just one week after entering the school, which is not common sense.

Ren Zhong moved out the public school rules.It is clearly stated in the school regulations that any student, as long as they feel that their level is up to standard, can apply for a single advanced exam at any time.As long as you pass the exam, you can advance on the spot.Each student can apply for advanced advanced examination three times in different stages, and if he fails to meet the standard three times, he will lose the qualification to apply for advanced individual examination, and must study step by step.

In the academic affairs office of the college, Ren Zhong argued with reason: "Since there are public rules, it is natural to abide by them. The rules do not clearly say that those who enter the school for a week cannot take the test, so I can. There was no such person as me before. It doesn’t mean that there won’t be any in the future, and it doesn’t mean that I won’t be able to do it today. If you reject my reasonable request, I will complain to the Human Resources Department of the association.”

In the end, Ren Zhong successfully passed the promotion assessment of the junior class and passed with full marks.

He didn't care about the shocked appearance of others, he had already seen it.

Since then, Ren Zhong waved goodbye to Qin Xiang and his group of unfriendly classmates, changed to the intermediate class, and started a new life.

The atmosphere of the new class was slightly different from the original class, and Ren Zhong did not encounter the routine process of beating newcomers.

The reason is very simple. Usually, there are no new students in the intermediate class, and those who can pass the single-player step-up are not ordinary people.

What's more, the heroic deeds of Ren Zhong "humiliated" Qin Xiang first, and then beat up the whole class have already been spread throughout the school.

The happy and leisurely Ren Zhong didn't talk nonsense with his new classmates from the beginning to the end.

In addition, he is also well-known among teachers.Ren Zhong even went a step further, only nominally under the name of this intermediate class, but in fact the classes are held in the small office next door.His class order is also different from others. He always catches the teacher's rest time and conducts one-on-one teaching.Of course, there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and he paid extra money to enjoy this customized course.

Ren Zhong doesn't like to owe too many favors to others, and if he can solve it with money, he doesn't need feelings.

The days continued to pass day by day, and ten days later, he passed the intermediate class again and was promoted to the advanced class.

Ren Zhong has already adapted to the first ten days of private teaching, and plans to do the same in the advanced class.

According to the rules of the census officer academy, when he passed the assessment of the advanced class, he officially left his status as a student and became a new trainee census officer.

The census officer is an administrative position. It is responsible for traveling around the world to monitor people and determine the life and death of towns. It is necessary to evaluate the status quo of one town after another to determine whether the town should continue to exist, the direction of subsequent development, and so on.

This matter seems quite metaphysical and liberal arts, but it is actually a very scientific matter, because the census officer system has a whole set of evaluation systems, and there are multiple weight indexes to judge the town in multiple dimensions.

At the beginning, Ren Zhong saved Xinghuo Town with a final decision in the evaluation of professional combat power with high weight.

But not every small town has such a leapfrog monster, most of the small towns still rely on the regular index to pass.

These indexes involve a lot of knowledge in economics, political science, psychology, management, and demography. In specific calculations, both the subjective perception of census officers and objective and quantifiable data must be taken into account.

These things are difficult for others, but Ren Zhong has already adapted to this way of thinking.

What he has to do now is just to make up the calculation formulas needed to execute this thinking mode.

Based on the progress of the past half month, he speculated that he should become a trainee census officer in 15 days.

With expectations in his heart, he really has a bottom line.

But the heavier the burden, the more panicked some people become.

Quietly, an emergency response team has been set up in the association to discuss the situation of Ren Zhong.

When Ren Zhong was successfully sent to the Academy of Census Officers, some people in the association breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this was a clever plan that could easily trap him for several years.

Now that half a month has passed, with the loss of the backbone of Ren's Group, the situation has changed.

Although Ren Zhong himself created a five-party alliance in Xiayuanjing City, the economic influence has gone far along the vein of Zijing Mining and Tanggu Group, and even got an important port town from Tang Xiangyun. However, controlling resource recycling companies and opening mines does not allow large-scale military deployments, and the Ren Group does not have so many elite fighters who are strong enough to disperse and station outside. Therefore, the pace of external military expansion of the heavy-duty forces has been greatly slowed down.

During this period, driven by the self-government order, other forces in the First Continent are rapidly integrating, and one behemoth after another is rising up in the First Continent.

Several of the forces secretly supported by the Mengdu Group have even approached the scale of the Ren Group.

Moreover, these companies also have a natural strategic alliance. After being united, the overall force size is even greater than that of Ren's Group.

Everything was moving in the direction Hewitt Augustus wanted, so the emergency response team didn't want to see Ren Zhong regain his freedom early.

After much deliberation, they finally found a way, which is to secretly deploy within the association to move out the most vicious and difficult official census officer, and make this person a responsible mentor.

With a heavy-duty personality, he would get into trouble with his mentor on the first day.Well, Ren Zhong thought that the internship period of at least three years would not be so easy.

After a series of undercover operations, the emergency team moved out the "schedule" of the vicious census officer, just waiting for Ren Zhong to take the bait.

……

On the 26th day of entering school, it was another busy day of classes. Ren Zhong returned to his villa, opened the Monternet system loaded in his watch as usual, and prepared to communicate with many trusted subordinates.

A strange thing happened, the Monternet system actually showed that it was offline, and he couldn't connect no matter what.

Ren Zhong had to switch back to the public "WeChat" system, trying to contact his information director, Hua Yuelan.

It's okay this time, just dial the number once and connect directly.

The two began to fight aggressively.

Ren Zhong: "What's the situation in the research institute? What's the recent progress of the recovery plan?"

Hua Yuelan: "It's okay, everything is stable, there are some small bugs that need to be fixed. Just wait for me for 10 minutes."

"Row."

Ren Zhong hung up the WeChat communication, and 10 minutes later, Hua Yuelan sent him a voice message, "It has been repaired."

Afterwards, Ren Zhong switched to "Monternet" again, and now he can speak freely.

He asked: "What happened just now, why can't I log in to Monternet?"

Hua Yuelan on the opposite side sighed, "No way, although I have embedded our own communication system into the underlying logic of the recovery plan, we still have to perform a lot of localized calculations to maintain the depth of information encryption and prevent being monitored. But Now we are facing a new situation.”

Ren Zhong: "How do you say?"

Hua Yuelan: "Whether it is the maintenance of 'Monternet', or the comprehensive development of the internal combustion engine being promoted by the Academy of Sciences, or the development of various supporting machinery, or the new construction of oil and coal mining areas, or the entire industrial chain under the entire group , The communication and maintenance of military equipment requires huge computing power. You recently set up a dragon-slaying camp in the Academy of Sciences. It was okay a few days ago, but in recent days, the people in the dragon-slaying camp seem to be on the road, and the demand for computing power is increasing Growth, more exaggerated every day."

"In the past, this level of computing power demand was usually impossible to be solved by local enterprises like us. They all sent the request to the 'net' through the cloud computing power service of Shenxun Group, and got' The computing power quota of the network' is supported by the 'net'. Because the 'net' has unlimited performance, no matter how huge the computing power is required by the enterprise, it only needs to continuously enlarge the scale of the ghost particle communicator array. very simple."

"But now, the 'net' is gone. A large number of market animal chips produced in our territory have to be handed over to the Tanggu Group to meet the consumption of the recovery plan. Although we are also the leading research and development organization of the recovery plan, we can continue to rub some The leftovers, you can also intercept some wafer crystal nuclei, but it is still not enough."

Hua Yuelan explained the matter very clearly, and Ren Zhong felt quite helpless when he heard it.

He thought for a while, "In this way, I will ask Ju Qingmeng to send more people out to the town newly transferred to me by the Tanggu Group, and bring back more market animal resources from other places."

Hua Yuelan, "This can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. Those people in the Dragon Slaying Camp are really consuming too much research."

Ren Zhong: "As long as I can handle it, I'll figure out how to do it later. In short, you still have to try to maintain the stability of 'Monternet'."

Hua Yuelan: "Okay."

After hanging up the communication, Ren Zhong began to scratch his head.

Before, he made others feel pain by destroying the "net" secretly, but he didn't expect to become a victim of this now.

As for how to develop a supercomputer, he, who was born in the 21st century, does have a whole set of ideas in his mind.

If he is given enough time, Ren Zhong believes that he should have the opportunity to re-build two technological routes of silicon-based chips and carbon-based chips outside the system of beast chips.

However, just a dragon-slaying battalion that researches and develops controllable nuclear fusion is enough to consume resources. Now that further opening up new battlefields, I am afraid that it will only slow down the progress even more, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Ren Zhong thought hard all night, and various ideas appeared in his mind over and over again, but were rejected again, and no solution was found.

The next morning, it was another new study day, so he suppressed his distracting thoughts for the time being, and went to the academy again.

At twelve o'clock at noon, he saw off the private teacher first, then returned to the desk in the small office, and started to chew on the book again.

Now that he no longer goes to the cafeteria, Zhuo Yihang will show up outside the office on time at [-]:[-] and bring him a sumptuous lunch enough for ten people.

For more than [-] days, he has completely gotten used to Zhuo Yihang's meticulous care.

Zhuo Yihang is not only punctual, but also takes the initiative to adjust the menu recipes to meet the taste of the heavy duty. He is an absolutely competent assistant.

Time flies, and unconsciously, my heavy stomach growls with hunger.

He raised his hand and looked at his watch in doubt. It was already 01:30 in the afternoon, and the teachers who had been appointed were coming soon, but Zhuo Yihang did not show up.

"It's weird."

While muttering, Ren Zhong dialed the communication code of Zowyihang with his watch.

The call application notification sounded for 1 minute, but the other party did not connect.

Dial again, waited for nearly 40 seconds, and finally connected, but the voice from the opposite side was not Zhuo Yihang's voice, but a stranger.

"Hello, dear seventh-level citizens, I am Liu Tao, director of the Urban Health Management Department of Xiayuanjing City."

Ren Zhong frowned, with an ominous premonition in his heart.

He asked, "What's going on? Where's the owner of the watch, Zhuo Yihang? What happened to him?"

Director Liu on the opposite side was a little puzzled, "Mr. Ren, I don't know the specific reason. But he was just dragged to my place by a corpse removal vehicle. I will remove a restricted citizen like him in accordance with the city management regulations." brain. As for his body, I will sell it to the Mengdu Group at a reasonable price."

Ren Zhong suddenly stood up from his seat, "What! What's the situation? Dead? How did he die!"

As he asked, he immediately knew that he could not get an answer from the other party, and then changed his words: "Director Liu, wait a moment, Zhuo Yihang is my assistant. You must not deal with his body first, I will come over in person Autopsy."

Director Liu on the opposite side paused for a moment, and said puzzledly: "Mr. Ren, I got his identity plate here. He is just a permanent contract employee of the Census Officer Academy and has no direct relationship with you. Your request is not Reasonable."

Ren Zhong was furious: "Then I don't care! I must see the corpse, and I must know what happened! Otherwise, I don't care what your role is, Director Liu, I will make you pay a heavy price! You can do it yourself, I will only warn you once. "

Hearing the almost furious tone of the opposite party, Liu Tao secretly swallowed his saliva, decided not to provoke the other party, and just changed his words honestly: "Okay. I'll wait for you for 10 minutes, and I won't wait when it's over."

Ren Zhong gritted his teeth, "Waiting or not waiting, it doesn't matter what you say." After speaking, Ren Zhong quickly jumped out of the small office, regardless of the fact that it was the third floor, he jumped into the air and landed brazenly.He turned twice on the ground to relieve his strength, and then rushed to the aircraft docking station opposite the teaching building at an extremely fast speed.

At this moment, he couldn't tell how much anger was in his heart.

Instead, he was calm.He also knew that he could find out the cause of Zhuo Yihang's death without going for an autopsy, and he already had some vague guesses in his mind, but he just wanted to see the corpse to determine what strategy he should adopt and what to do next. kind of thing.

Chapter 392 "Turning an Enemy into a Friend"

Twelve minutes later, Ren Zhong arrived at the health management office in the outer city of Xiayuanjing City.

This area is surrounded by white walls.Several factory buildings are scattered among them.

Director Liu Tao was waiting outside the gate early on, and when he saw that the heavy responsibility was coming, he took the initiative to go forward to meet him.

In terms of citizen rank, Liu Tao is also at the seventh rank, which is the same as Ren Zhong.But he has been stuck in the rank of seventh-level citizen for many years, and there is basically no possibility of further promotion, and he is not comparable to the rising star of Ren Zhong.

After a while, Liu Tao will be able to retire smoothly, get the qualification for long-term freezing, and go straight to the new world after the great migration.Therefore, even though he knew that it was not against the rules to ask Ren Zhong for an autopsy, he still gave in.He didn't want to completely offend this popular newcomer.

Three minutes later, Ren Zhong walked into the morgue.

The temperature here is low, close to zero.There was a strange smell in the air.One automated machine after another continuously sends in new corpses, which are scanned and inspected by automated machines, and then sorted and placed.

Ren Zhong saw Zhuo Yihang in the corner.

He lay there quietly, bruised all over, his eyes swollen like two red apples.

Opening the body bag, Ren Zhong found that Zhuo Yihang's limbs were twisted in strange postures.

Ren Zhong checked briefly, and judged that the injury that caused the bruise and distortion should have occurred when Zowihang was still alive.

This proves that Zhuo Yihang experienced inhuman torture during his lifetime.

At this time, Ren Zhong didn't feel much sadness in his heart.He is no longer the Mengxin he was back then, and he is used to seeing life and death, and he knows that he can save everyone if he wants to, so he is very calm now, he just squeezed his fist a little, then turned and left.

Without investigating, he already knew who the murderer was.Except for the group of ex-classmates headed by Qin Xiang, don't think of anyone else.

Ren Zhong took a look at the corpse just to decide his next course of action.

Back at school, Ren Zhong went to the Academic Affairs Office for a brief investigation.Sure enough, in the morning, as a slave employee of the college, Zhuo Yihang was seconded by the junior class to participate in a social ethics experiment.

This elementary class is exactly the class that Ren Zhong once attended.

In the Census Institute, such experiments do not happen often, but occasionally.Its main significance is to examine the different psychological states that human beings may display when facing different situations. By the way, it can also examine the self-discipline ability of the census officer who has absolute power when facing inferior people.

It was hard work, but those chosen to be samples were either killed or wounded.

Usually this kind of experiment only happens to barren people or low-level citizen slaves, and professional guides like Zowihang who have a certain position will not be selected.

I don't know what tricks Qin Xiang and the others used to mention Zhuo Yihang's name.

What happened next was logical.

As for the motives of Qin Xiang and others, it is also very simple.They knew that Zhuo Yihang was getting close to Ren Zhong, and they just wanted to use this incident to disgust Ren Zhong, a "small" revenge, that's all.
