Rebirth: Super Banking System-Chapter 451 - 367 1 trillion times (Please subscribe!)_1

After finishing this seafood feast.

Uncle’s family was a little full, even Qin Shiyu, who usually pays careful attention to her diet, couldn’t resist reaching for the prawns and crabs on the table, Qin Yugang, who always ate till he was eighty percent full, acted as if he was competing for it.

Tang Qing was also surprised, was it really that delicious?

While he was pondering.

"Brother, these prawns and crabs are really delicious, I want to have them again tonight." Qin Shiqi, still unsatisfied, said while holding her belly.

Just as Tang Qing was about to agree, his auntie said, "We had it at noon and you still want it in the evening? Leave some of them."

Qin Shiqi immediately disagreed, "What’s the use of saving them? I can’t help but want to eat them when they’re here." Even though she was full, she still wanted to eat.

"You only think about eating, these are for your grandparents and your other grandparents to take back." Auntie glared at her and said. Even though she also wanted to eat, whenever there were good things, besides giving them to herself and her children, she would typically save some for her parents. Over the years, this gesture made Tang Qing’s grandparents very fond of their daughter-in-law, often sending up things from the fields.

The relations within the family were harmonious.

"Oh."

Qin Shiqi obediently replied, hearing that these were going to be sent back to her grandparents, she didn’t have any further thoughts, but... she still had a secret weapon.

"Brother, let your friend send some more to you." Qin Shiqi said to Tang Qing, grinning.

"There’s no need to have people send more gifts." Qin Yugang admonished.

Hearing her father’s reprimand, Qin Shiqi could only pout, looking at Tang Qing with a pathetic expression.

Alright then.

Tang Qing also couldn’t stand the look.

He agreed, "Uncle, no problem, I’ll ask him to send them regularly, consider it I bought them." He already planned to send them regularly, with Qin Shiqi leading the way, he was happy to go along.

"That’s not possible, these are so good, they must be very expensive." Qin Yugang objected. He was also a good judge of value, he thought this meal could be bought with two months salary saved from him and his wife, but now it seemed, a year’s salary might not be enough to cover it.

Even though Tang Qing’s net worth was in the billions, they couldn’t squander money like this, a meal costing a year’s salary? Qin Yugang just couldn’t wrap his head around it.

"They’re not expensive, it’s all a friend’s price. I find it heartbreaking to give it as gifts, but I can afford to feed my own family." Tang Qing laughed.

"No, they’re so delicious, I don’t want to gift them to anyone." Qin Shiqi hurriedly said, appearing as though she was defending her food.

"..."

And so, the matter was settled.

They chatted some more about this and that, and it was time for everyone to go to work.

"Brother, you’re the only one who didn’t overeat, you drive us to school." Qin Shiqi said to Tang Qing, who was the only one not over-full and was washing dishes in the kitchen.

"Alright, no problem." Tang Qing agreed. He hadn’t expected that eating this stuff would be addictive, with even his uncle and aunt unable to resist eating heartily. Confused, he asked the system.

"System, will they become addicted after eating this stuff?"

"Host, this is a substance that can maintain genetic stability, it is a desire engraved in the deepest level of species’ gene, a desire to perfect and protect oneself. It’s like someone who hasn’t eaten for many days looking at food, unless they’re already full, like you, since you’ve unlocked the gene lock, you only find it delicious and aren’t addicted. However, they’ll only have this desire when they see it, without the sight of it, the impulse will disappear."

"Oh, I see."

This was so simple, Tang Qing didn’t have a problem with comprehension.

Plainly speaking, this was like an instinct.

That’s it, isn’t it? On television, some good things will make some creatures can’t stop, fight for it even risking their lives, even if they don’t have intelligence, they know to fight for it. This substance is like that, but fortunately, it’s limited, not always wanting to eat it all the time, if that’s the case, it would be absurd, what’s the difference with banned drugs? If it was like that, he would definitely scold the system.

In the afternoon.

Tang Qing didn’t go to school.

Instead, he followed the instructions of the Command Room and went to the store to buy carving tools.

In summary, it was all sorts of knives, round, flat, triangular, and even saws, axes, hammers, etc. He bought hundreds of them, including backups. For practicing small objects, Tang Qing bought quite a lot of camphorwood. He was still a beginner, the more expensive such as red sandalwood, phoebe, and rosewood were still off the table, so as not to waste stuff.

The skill will be talked about later.

This stuff worth several thousand yuan made the shop owner very happy and he promised to deliver them to Tang’s home.

But when he saw Tang Qing’s Mercedes-Benz, he stopped talking, mumbling in his head: rich people surely know how to live, learning wood carving at such a young age. But there was no contempt in his heart, as he was a shopkeeper and also a wood carving craftsman, how could he look down upon his profession. In fact, he was somewhat relieved that there was someone to continue the craftsmanship.

If it wasn’t for his average skills, he would definitely be itching to teach a few strategies. In the end, he insisted on giving a beginner’s book on wood carving to Tang Qing and, with such a warm reception, Tang Qing had no choice but to accept.

Back home.

Tang Qing opened the tutorial that the Command Room had made and began practicing from the simple ones.

Usually, when ordinary people learn this, they definitely start with history, outstanding works, recognitions, wood identification, post-processing, etc. But not Tang Qing. Because when he started, Little Two’s text explanation began.

"Commander, you are holding camphorwood in your hands. It’s an evergreen tree. The bark is yellow-brown, with irregular vertical cracks. It is mainly found in places south of the Yangtze River and in the southwest regions such as Shu, Yun, etc."

With Tang Qing’s current memory, what he hears is basically unforgetable.

Finally, Little Two also demonstrated through a video simulation on how to polish and varnish.

Only there was no varnish.

Ten minutes later.

Looking at the wooden cup in his hand, Tang Qing satisfiedly stared at his own masterpiece. Uh, although it was a bit rough, it was his first time. He could slowly improve over time.

Just like that, Tang Qing spent the afternoon in the house, with woodchips and wood blocks all over the ground. Eventually he managed to make a set of teaware which were polished and looked very rustic and primitive.

At night.

Seeing the room full of woodchips, Qin Shiqi was excited. This meant another money-making opportunity.

So, with Qin Shiqi’s desperate ’help’, Tang Qing’s room was cleaned by her... Uh, and ’hired help’ Qin Shiyu. Finally, Qin Shiqi happily received a red note as reward, overjoyed.

Tang Qing didn’t know how many more scenes like this would take place in the future.

When Tang Qing first started playing with wood, his Uncle and Aunt didn’t say anything. They knew about Tang Qing’s painting skills, which impressed them greatly, and they felt like he’d hit a peak. Now, it was not bad for him to switch hobbies. It was certainly better than him going to Internet cafes to play games or hanging out with bad kids.

At twelve o’clock.

In the command room.

Tang Qing laughed a bit while looking at the task requirements sent over from Beijing this time.

After helping them get account access to the Blue Gene Supercomputer from the U.S., and acquiring 300 trillion computing resources, this supercomputer had been working non-stop, serving the domestic market day and night. A fee of one million RMB per month was super cheap, but it also shouldn’t be wasted.

So, the boon fell on all the research institutes in Beijing.

In the past, when they applied for supercomputing resources, all the scientists who were over fifty would roll around, act cute, and even block the doors. They tried all sorts of methods and would only manage to get a pitiful amount of computing resources.

In the past, the computing resources in the country were simply not enough for everyone’s use. Whether it was the tasks that had accumulated over time or the ones that had just appeared, they all virtually piled up. Each scientist was in a miserable state. But they were helpless, as both the hardware and software fields for computers in our country were incomparable to that of foreign countries.

However, at the beginning of the month.

A great news came that the Chinese Academy of Sciences said anyone who needed to apply for computing resources should hurry up. This is, however, only limited to those computing tasks that are not state secrets.

Upon hearing the news.

All the research institutes went crazy. The application reports almost piled up on the table of the president of the institute so high that they were about to spill over. If it were the past, he would have berated them, but now, a ’new’ supercomputer has emerged in China and there were 300 trillion computing speeds available, which was a must-use and must-be-consumed resource. This embarrassment made the president of the institute happy.

With the principle of making the best use of everything, they used all twenty-four hours in a day to upload computing tasks.

Tang Qing was actually a bit irritated. They didn’t have to be so insane. The operation of these hardware does consume electricity. He could manage to hide the data, but he couldn’t hide the power consumption. After all, it was not connected to the internet. How much electricity was used could be seen at a glance. It had already caught the attention of IBM. But since this was a national-level laboratory, power consumption was not a concern. It was similar to national key projects where money was not a problem.

Therefore, the IBM engineers spent half a day investigating, but not finding anything, they decided to let it go. A little more power consumption was acceptable. The lab was the US Nuclear Security Administration’s after all, so it had its own nuclear power plant supply. Profit was not a consideration as the US government provided subsidies.

In China.

Although this method solved some of the problems of shortage of computing resources, it also had its limits. With more and more problems being solved, more applications were reported. This was just the situation in the capital. There were also a pile of computing tasks backloged in scientific research institutes in other provinces. When they found out their colleagues in Beijing were overjoyed, the scientists in other provinces couldn’t sit still. A wave of applications was sent in.

In one sentence.

I want to use it too.

So.

Computing resources went back to being scarce again.

All of this was expected. The plan was actually for Tang Qing to acquire more computing resources. It was just that previously, for the purpose of testing, they didn’t ask. Now, the test results were really good, a trust basis was established, and the capabilities only made people feel more and more omnipotent. They started to feel a little trepidation, not because of Tang Qing’s power, but because of the future when humans enter the intelligence era. How much privacy can people still keep?

It had been a month. The Blue Gene has been used almost twenty-four hours a day without any problems. So they came to Tang Qing, wanting to obtain more computing resources.

What else could Tang Qing say about this?

Let’s do it.

So he let Tang Yi reply to them.

"We can take this task. However, as the computing resources increase and the number of supercomputer account permissions increase, then the maintenance cost will also increase. We’ll take care of this, and can provide you with an additional 700 trillion computing resources. Coupled with the previous one, you will have a total of 1,000 trillion computing resources. The price will be 20 million RMB per month."
