Ten minutes later.
Tang Qing held a phone and a computer that had both been modified.
He tried them out.
Surprisingly enough.
After the modification, the previously slow-as-death internet speed saw an insane boost. Opening webpages on the phone was significantly quicker than before, and the computer too. Opening webpages or watching videos didn’t have a single hiccup, although the computer’s CPU went mad, and the device heated up considerably. Tang Qing had no choice. It was bound to its hardware limitations.
Now that’s what I call browsing the internet.
In the past, they were practically hanged by the internet.
And this is free as well.
Tang Qing decided when he had some free time, he would modify his family members’ phones too. Otherwise, their calls are still going through the telecom operators’ data channels. Once the modifications are done, once the call is made to a phone that is installed with a quantum communication module, the data channel would be directly switched over to their own communication server for relay transmission, which was very convenient.
"Tang Yi, can the battery be modified? The computer’s battery doesn’t last long at all." Tang Qing asked. This computer’s battery would probably be exhausted after watching TV for two hours, which seemed pretty standard since that’s the norm for current computers.
But if this fixed thinking was not present, people would certainly ask why it can’t last ten hours.
At this time, the manufacturers would tell you: considering whether you can afford it or not is the main issue, such a product is just right. In other words, it’s not that there’s nothing better, but rather it’s impossible to reduce costs. After considering all factors, it’s the most suitable for both manufacturers and consumers.
When Tang Qing saw the most badass military laptop on the market could keep working at high intensity for two days straight, he felt that his notebook computer was incredibly weak in comparison.
"Responding to Commander, based on the current available technology without changing its external appearance, after modification the maximum high-intensity usage limit will be eighteen hours. It would require one scientist three hours to complete it." Tang Yi replied.
"Alright, take it and modify it. Work on my cellphone’s battery too while you’re at it. How long will that take?" Tang Qing asked again, charging a cellphone is also a hassle, might as well solve this issue once and for all.
"It would take one hour. After modification, it can last for a continuous half-month usage." Tang Yi replied.
"Then modify both for me." Tang Qing handed over his cellphone as well. The battery drain of a phone, especially current phones which are not as energy-efficient as the upcoming smart ones, and without any battery killer -- games, being able to last half a month is not too out of the realms in reality. All things considered, his phone could probably go without charging for one or even two months, after all, it’s not possible for him to always be online or always be playing games, at most he will just make a phone call.
"Yes, Commander."
Tang Yi took the phone.
Seeing there was nothing left for him to do, Tang Qing went to the training area and started to practice his nerve telekinesis according to the ’secret manual’. He was full of curiosity about it and was eagerly looking forward to the day when he could truly fly and split mountains apart.
Tang Qing had pretty much finished arranging everything related to the bank.
Just waiting for the bank to officially open the next day, just follow the plan step by step, there’s nothing that can go wrong since all the guns have been collected.
After training all night, his nerve telekinesis of course didn’t make any breakthroughs. It only became a lot smoother to control, but he was a bit tired. Focusing on doing a specific task, especially those that required a lot of mental effort, made Tang Qing experience a sense of tiredness that he hadn’t had in a long time, he remarkably slept for a full three hours.
The next morning.
Tang Qing slowly woke up.
Opening his eyes, Qin Shiqi’s face filled his entire field of vision.
Now that’s quite the ’face’ to block my vision!
"Lazy pig, aren’t you getting up?" Qin Shiqi stood straight with her hands on her hips.
"How did you get in here? What’s the time?" Tang Qing chuckled and ran his hand through his very satisfying hairstyle -- buzz cut. Whenever his hair grew out, he always wanted to cut it. A buzz cut was the easiest to manage.
"Don’t you remember what day it is today?" Qin Shiqi asked discontentedly.
What day is it?
Tang Qing thought for a while.
It doesn’t seem to be anyone’s birthday.
Right, today is the day of his monthly assessment, and the system interface has turned red. Well... Monthly Assessment? June 1st?
So, it’s this day.
Tang Qing looked at Qin Shiqi with a strange expression: "Shiqi, what do you want to do? Today is Children’s Day, but you’re not a child anymore. I didn’t prepare a gift."
"I don’t care! I don’t need a gift. Today, you just need to take us to the park." Qin Shiqi shouted.
"Shiqi, you and Shiyu are in junior high school, not elementary school. Isn’t there school today?" Tang Qing asked. If his memory served him right, only elementary schools have the day off on Children’s Day.
"Hehe, you didn’t know? Our teachers have to take some exam today, so the school administration decided to give everyone a day off." Qin Shiqi happily answered.
With that, what else could Tang Qing say?
"Alright, alright, I’ll take you." Tang Qing agreed.
Qin Shiqi smiled: "Hehe, I knew my cousin is the best. Later, I’ll buy something tasty for you. Anything you want, but you’ll have to pay." If it weren’t for the last sentence, Tang Qing would have been profoundly moved.
Watching Qin Shiqi bounce away, Tang Qing’s thoughts flew to Myanmar.
Myanmar.
Xin’an Town.
The newly built town center.
Inside a framed two-story building – which was deemed a ’building’ due to its high ceilings of 4.5 meters, equivalent to an ordinary three-story building, and a length of over forty meters – used to be the largest supermarket in town. But now, it needed to accommodate the most significant project in the territory, the ’Myanmar Bank’.
After a day of intense decoration and setup yesterday, the bank started operations at an incredulous speed.
Early in the morning, many people passing by en route to the construction site or market noticed the establishment.
"What is this? A bank? Myanmar Bank, have you heard of it?" A literate Chinese from Myanmar inquired.
"No. There’s no such bank in Myanmar. Why is it here? Could it be... that Leader Ling is really from the Myanmar government?" Someone next to them said in disbelief.
"No way..." Another worker stuttered. Their prior suspicions seemed confirmed given the new rulers’ extreme discipline and ambition, alongside major infrastructure development; it was very much a governmental approach. Still, they dared not spread such speculations.
Seeing the enticing display of the bank’s name, many people were tempted to believe that it might be true, but no one dared to voice their beliefs.
"Let’s go, we need to get to work. We can ask the boss later who knows the big boss." One worker urged. No matter how surprised they were, this work was precious to them in a time when jobs were scarce.
"Right, we’re almost late."
The construction workers began to trickle away, and word of the bank spread among those heading to the market, eventually reaching farther areas. The entrance of Myanmar bank quickly became an attraction, drawing more and more onlookers. They discovered several more branches throughout town, especially when "black tech" like ATMs was spotted, hordes of people rushed over to have a closer look.
People stood in front of the bank’s open doors, pointing and muttering, but none dared to enter because four armed soldiers stood guard at the entrance, verifying the bank’s legitimacy and further inviting speculation among the locals.
Of course, Tang Qing wouldn’t just let people gather aimlessly outside the bank. Call out, "My family’s bank is open, quickly come to exchange your currency!"? That would be ridiculous and ineffective. Who would be foolish enough to exchange their money for unfamiliar new currency?
Moreover, nothing beats the effectiveness of an administrative order.
Thus.
At half-past nine in the morning.
All village heads in the territory, along with influential local figures such as merchants and construction heads, were summoned to the main conference room in Xin’an Town.
A meeting.
Once these people are dealt with.
Everything else will become much easier.
PS: Chapter 3, seeking votes, folks!
