Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

An Xiaohai stayed in bed for two more days. Although his arm was still wrapped in thick bandages, he felt much better.

The penetrating wound looked scary, but it wasn't actually that serious. The real problem was the bone injury in my arm, which would take several months to heal completely.

Counting the time, An Xiaohai has been lying in bed for almost 10 days now; it's time for him to get some exercise.

Just as An Xiaohai was about to ask the prison guard to take him to the reading room, Tian Qiaoguang appeared as if by telepathy; he had come to deliver something to An Xiaohai.

That day, before An Xiaohai could collect the things his mother had brought in, Tian Qiaoguang brought them over for him. In addition to winter clothes and bedding, there was 400 yuan and a letter.

An Xiaohai put away the other things and gave the money to Tian Qiaoguang. Tian Qiaoguang accepted it without hesitation, after all, they had made an agreement beforehand.

After a brief chat, Tian Qiaoguang led An Xiaohai to the reading room.

Along the way, they encountered many patrolling police officers, and Tian Qiaoguang greeted them one by one. On the surface, Tian Qiaoguang got along well with everyone.

Because it wasn't open during the reading room's opening hours, the room was empty. As soon as An Xiaohai stepped into the reading room, he was drawn to a brand-new computer placed on a table in the corner.

This is the latest Creality 386 computer from Creality, featuring an 80386 CPU, 4MB of RAM, two 3.5-inch floppy disk drives, and two 5.25-inch floppy disk drives.

As for hard drives and graphics cards, they didn't exist in that era.

This configuration is considered super luxurious by today's standards, with a huge case and a bulky 14-inch Trinitron monitor taking up most of the desktop.

Twenty years from now, people will only call this computer an antique, and won't even know how to turn it on. But An Xiaohai knows very well that this computer is definitely worth a lot now, and its price is likely to be close to ten thousand yuan.

Tian Qiaoguang is quite willing to invest.

An Xiaohai didn't waste any words and went straight to the computer and sat down.

Insert the system floppy disk that was placed aside into the floppy disk drive, press the power button to turn on the computer, and a whirring sound of the disk being read will be heard. After waiting for a while, the DOS system will finally be entered.

An Xiaohai asked Tian Qiaoguang for a blank floppy disk, inserted it into another floppy disk drive, and then began typing rapidly on the keyboard. Half an hour later, a simple pinball game was successfully programmed.

When Tian Qiaoguang saw An Xiaohai start the program and use the arrow keys on the keyboard to control a line, constantly bouncing a small ball upwards, she breathed a long sigh of relief.

For some reason, Tian Qiaoguang kept overlooking a very important question: Did An Xiaohai actually know how to program? Even if he did, could he actually do what An Xiaohai claimed?

It wasn't until the computers were moved to the reading room that Tian Qiaoguang suddenly remembered this problem. At that moment, Tian Qiaoguang broke out in a cold sweat.

After all this trouble, what if An Xiaohai lies and the program can't be written? Wouldn't that be a disaster?

Now that's good, seeing how skillfully An Xiaohai handles it, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Tian Qiaoguang was unaware of this problem, but An Xiaohai had already thought of it, though he didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

The reason why Tian Qiaoguang did not doubt An Xiaohai's words was partly because he was intimidated by An Xiaohai's aura and subconsciously believed him, but more importantly, his strong utilitarianism temporarily blinded him.

The reason An Xiaohai was able to write a simple program so quickly was not because he was particularly good at programming, but because he had written the program in college and remembered every single character of it.

The same applies to other programs; as long as An Xiaohai has seen the script, he can type it out word for word.

An Xiaohai originally studied information technology and had been exposed to a lot of script cases. Moreover, programming was one of the few interests that An Xiaohai had after being released from prison in his other life.

An Xiaohai had a lot of program scripts in his mind. As long as he changed some key values ​​and keywords, it would be too easy for him to write a program for this era.

"Take a rest first. I brought you some food. Is this okay?" Tian Qiaoguang placed a large plastic bag in front of An Xiaohai.

"Thank you, Officer Tian!" An Xiaohai smiled slightly. This Tian Qiaoguang is quite interesting; once he's determined that he's truly of use, his attitude changes all too obviously.

However, An Xiaohai likes it, and it's already quite good that he's done this well.

The plastic bag was full of high-calorie foods. An Xiaohai thought that Tian Qiaoguang might have some misunderstanding about nutritional supplements, but it didn't matter, these requirements could be raised slowly.

An Xiaohai took out a box of wife cakes from the plastic bag. He first let Tian Qiaoguang take two pieces, and then picked up one for himself, tore open the packaging, and ate it.

The sweet, oily sensation exploded in his mouth, bringing immense satisfaction. An Xiaohai, who originally disliked this kind of food, now ate it with extraordinary relish.

After carefully finishing the wife cake, An Xiaohai ate all the other snacks that interested him.

"This is a circuit diagram recently designed by the electronics factory. It's a new type of access control system, and the drawings are almost finished. Take a look and give me your feedback. If you have any ideas, you can modify them directly on it."

The other party promised that if your suggestions for improvement were truly effective, you could receive a reward of 2000 to 5000 yuan, depending on the circumstances.

Seeing that An Xiaohai had almost finished eating, Tian Qiaoguang took out a stack of blueprints and placed them in front of him, saying...

An Xiaohai nodded. Tian Qiaoguang was quite generous, offering a decent reward, but the range of variation was a bit large, indicating that he had clearly left himself a backup plan.

After looking at the design drawings for a while, An Xiaohai frowned and said, "These functional designs are somewhat complex and need to be integrated with the monitoring system. It's quite challenging, and I need some time."

"No problem!" Tian Qiaoguang nodded readily.

Tian Qiaoming had already explained to him that this design was considered quite advanced in the industry. Tian Xiaoming and Chief Engineer Zhao of the company had studied it for nearly half a year to perfect the design to this extent, so it was perfectly normal for An Xiaohai to need some time.

At the same time, Tian Qiaoguang's regard for An Xiaohai increased even more.

Not only can An Xiaohai really understand the blueprints, but it's also easy to tell from his expression that he's confident!

Tian Qiaoguang couldn't help but have a few more ideas.

An Xiaohai's sentence is three and a half years, which is neither short nor long. With a criminal record, it will definitely be difficult for him to find a job after he gets out. If we can get him to work at his older brother's company, that would be a very good option.

Yes, that's definitely a good idea! It seems like we'll need to use more tricks on An Xiaohai in the future so he'll be more obedient.

"An Xiaohai, are you tired? If you are, go back and rest."

"I'm fine, not tired. I'll just be lying down when I get back anyway, so I might as well rest here."

There are a few issues with the circuit diagram that I can only think about slowly. I want to familiarize myself with the computer first, since I haven't used it for quite a while. I need to get back used to it, and besides, designing circuits also requires a computer.

"Alright, how about this, you stay here and I'll go to the cafeteria to get some food and we'll eat together."

"Thank you, Officer Tian!"

An Xiaohai smiled brightly. Tian Qiaoguang's actions were clearly a gesture of goodwill, leaving him alone in the reading room. Although he couldn't escape, Tian Qiaoguang was still taking a huge risk.

"Okay, I'm going now, I'll be right back," Tian Qiaoguang said as she stood up.

"Officer Tian, ​​if it's convenient, could you bring me some information about the officers?"

I'm not very familiar with the personnel structure of prisons, so if I want to create an office management system, I need to learn more about this area.

No need for detailed information, a simple introduction will suffice, such as a roster, including basic job titles and responsibilities.

"This...this might be a bit troublesome! Even if we submit a report, it might not work..." Tian Qiaoguang frowned, but quickly relaxed.

"I'll go check the reception area. If there are any simple documents there, I can bring them over for you to look at. You can only look at them; I'll return them immediately afterward. I can't hand them over to you, understand?"

"Understood, I just need to take a quick look."

"Okay, I'm going."

Tian Qiaoguang locked the door and left, and the smile on An Xiaohai's face gradually disappeared completely.

Whether or not retribution will come is up to fate!
