Double-Cut During the War of Resistance: My Wife Came from 1937

Chapter 181 Ma Hongwei Travels Back to the Republic of China Era

The next day.

Ma Hongwei brought back the computer parts he had bought and began assembling the computer himself.

There are tutorials everywhere online now, so he doesn't need to worry about not being able to assemble it properly.

After assembling the computer, Ma Hongwei connected to the internet and began uploading and downloading the books he had bought earlier.

"These computers will be used by personnel from the Eighth Route Army headquarters in the future."

Ma Hongwei said to Xia Weiwei, "I was originally thinking of downloading all the history of World War II and putting it into a document, but I thought about it and decided against it."

"Why?"

Xia Weiwei couldn't help but ask.

"I'm afraid they'll become arrogant."

Ma Hongwei said, "Moreover, I can't guarantee that there aren't any ulterior motives among these codebreakers."

"If someone is self-serving, knowing what the future holds, they will inevitably focus their main energy on vying for power and profit."

"In this way, they may not only delay the time to decipher the Japanese code, but it will also have a great impact on the future."

"Hongwei, what you said makes a lot of sense!"

Xia Weiwei nodded emphatically.

Once a person becomes selfish, it will be a disaster.

Just like the chief of staff that Ma Hongwei mentioned before.

If he had continued the revolution, he would at least have become a founding general.

But he was too selfish.

Having witnessed the corrupt lifestyle of Kuomintang generals, he felt that he was also at that level and should receive the same preferential treatment.

Later, after being criticized a few times by General Peng, he simply took half of the 115th Division's allowances and ran away.

The entire division only received a stipend of 6, and he stole 3 of it.

Giving half to the 115th Division is still somewhat conscientious.

If they were heartless, they probably wouldn't have a single penny left.

Ma Hongwei thought to himself, "Since it's work, let's keep it simple!"

In addition to those books, he also deployed AI locally and used AI to help generate Python scripts.

Now that we know the core principles of the Type 91 cipher machine, cracking it with Python scripts will be much easier.

Besides dealing with computer issues, Ma Hongwei also needed to handle the goods.

Items like cotton gloves, thermal underwear, cotton hats, and hand warmers were delivered today.

Ma Hongwei stored all of these goods in his system space.

After all, it's summer now, and piling up heated patches with easily flammable items like clothing and hats could potentially cause a fire.

Inside the storage space, time is almost frozen, so there is no fear of causing a fire.

The wool-lined cotton coats, leather boots, and other goods were delivered on the third day at noon.

Ma Hongwei calculated that 30000 cotton military coats with wool linings would occupy 405 cubic meters of space.

It sounds like it's not even as good as the previous 12000 wool-lined military coats, but this time Ma Hongwei directly asked the manufacturer to perform industrial-grade vacuum compression, which can reduce the volume by 55%-60%.

Otherwise, it would take up far too much space.

The current storage space is only 968 cubic meters, and without vacuuming, it's impossible to fit all that stuff in.

In addition, there are 30000 pairs of warm leather boots with wool lining, 30000 woolen hats, and 30000 sets of thickened thermal underwear with fleece lining.

The space was basically filled with cotton gloves, socks, and fingerless gloves, so we could only bring over some penicillin, artemisinin, sulfonamides, and other similar drugs.

There was no way to carry anything else.

Of course, Ma Hongwei also made room for Shitai Computer.

This is of utmost importance and cannot be neglected.

"Hongwei!"

Xia Weiwei looked at Ma Hongwei and said, "I'm not very familiar with those computers, so you'll have to come with me this time!"

Although she had learned some basic computer operation beforehand and could already turn the computer on and off, type, and print.

However, she still didn't quite understand how to use AI and Python scripts.

"Can!"

Ma Hongwei nodded in agreement.

This matter is of utmost importance, and he naturally needs to make the trip himself to ensure his peace of mind.

Xia Weiwei couldn't help but ask, "Then... should we call Auntie back to watch the shop again?"

"Let's not trouble her."

Ma Hongwei shook his head and said, "Anyway, it's only for two days. I'll just ask the neighborhood aunties to come and watch the shop. I'll just give them some benefits. For older people in the countryside, their labor isn't worth much."

Ma Hongwei thought back to two or three years ago, when his grandmother was still alive.

Back then, we would collect huge bags of plastic flowers.

These plastic flowers are all components that need to be assembled together.

It will take at least three or four days to finish processing this large bag.

Those more complicated ones take up to half a month.

But after piecing together such a large bag of plastic flowers, people only paid me ten or twenty yuan for my work.

In other words, one can only earn one to a few dollars a day.

At the time, Ma Hongwei was still a little puzzled as to why he would do such a job when he could earn so little.

But his grandmother said that since they were just sitting around doing nothing anyway, it would be boring, so they might as well do some work and earn some pocket money.

……

Ma Hongwei called the old lady from last time over again and asked her to help watch the shop.

He said to Grandma Sun, "Third Aunt, I'm busy these two days, so I'm leaving the shop in your care. Feel free to drink any beverages or water you're thirsty, and turn on the air conditioning if you're hot. I'll give you two cases of milk as a reward when I get back."

Anyway, he's not short of money now, and two boxes of milk aren't worth much.

But for Grandma Sun, the other party would definitely be very happy.

"What are you saying!"

Grandma Sun shook her head and said, "Our two families have been neighbors for decades. Your family used to give us a lot of credit, so how can we ask for your things again?"

"Third Aunt, in the past, everyone helped each other out."

Ma Hongwei pointed to his own yard and said, "When we built this house, my third uncle was there for so many days without asking for a single penny. If we really calculate it based on the labor cost, wouldn't my family owe you something?"

"It's not like I'm working for free. Your family even provided meals, and I remember there was quite a lot of meat in the dishes."

Grandma Sun said with a smile.

In the past, neighbors were quite close.

When someone has something good to eat, they will share a bowl with their neighbors.

If someone is building a house, or has a wedding or funeral, neighbors, relatives, friends, and people from the same team will all come to help. They don't ask for money; they just need to provide a meal.

It's not that I want to get something for free, but rather that you help me and I help you, which is more humane.

It's completely different from living in an apartment building in the city where you don't know your neighbors' names and don't even greet them once a year.

"Well, we'll see when the time comes!"

Ma Hongwei shook his head and said, "We have something to do, so we'll be leaving now!"

When he returns, he will deliver the items directly to the other party's home, making it difficult for them to refuse.

Then, he and Xia Weiwei drove away from the village and arrived at a warehouse in the suburbs.
