Chapter 62 Jingyuan and Laptop

Jingyuan plugged in the silver laptop and pressed the power button. A boot animation appeared on the screen and an electronic beep sounded, but it did not enter the desktop as he expected.

This laptop requires a password to log in, even in safe mode.

After trying several passwords such as "11111111", "88888888" and "123456789" to no avail, he could only give up temporarily.

But suddenly I remembered that some computers have a factory reset button. As long as you press it, it will return to the state when you just bought it.

This is a button that will only be used in extreme situations such as a virus on your computer, so it has a very high priority.

He groped around and found a sliding case on the left side of the computer. After opening it, there was indeed a factory reset button, and there was no need to enter a password. After long pressing, a prompt popped up.

[You are trying to restore factory settings, are you sure you want to do this? (Files that are not backed up in the cloud will not be saved)]

【whether】

Jingyuan selected No. If he pressed it like this, all the hard drives would be formatted and the various files saved in them would disappear.

In this way, the meaning of this computer to him is almost equal to zero.

Without the Internet, could he turn on his phone and play Spider Solitaire and Minesweeper to pass the time?

He thought that if this computer had dual hard drives, both mechanical and solid-state, he could disassemble the computer, remove the mechanical hard drive, reset the system with only the solid-state hard drive left, and then replace the mechanical hard drive after it was installed.

Put it back and you can break the password and save the files on the mechanical hard drive.

This kind of operation is not difficult for him. After all, he studied computers in college and took elective courses on computer assembly and maintenance. If there is a USB flash drive with an image file on it, he will reinstall the system on the spot.

Yes, the computer he uses is one he bought parts online and installed by himself.

Take a look at the power supply and it says "0% charging". Wait until the battery is fully charged before removing the case. Don't worry.

He put his laptop and spare battery in the house to charge and while the generator was on, he didn't dare to run too far and stayed in the villa area.

Like a terrorist, he violently opens doors and enters other people's rooms to search.

The main things he searched for were sheets, bedding and clothes. He found a four-piece velvet bed set and brought back three more beddings. In addition, there were several sets of cotton-padded jackets and pajamas, as well as shoes, socks and underwear.

Take less.

Anyway, they are all ownerless things. If he likes them, they are his.

He unceremoniously moved those high-end decorations to his hall, including but not limited to jade dragons carved from jade, high-end calligraphy and paintings, and Buddha statues carved from pure gold.

A villa area is a villa area. People who buy villas near scenic spots like Zhoushan City definitely do not regard this place as their permanent residence. When they buy a villa here, it is equivalent to buying a holiday villa. They may only live there all year round.

Every two or three months, I occasionally bring my relatives, friends, or my mistresses here for a vacation, and then I leave.

All the things left by these wealthy owners were cheap to him.

Taking advantage of the time when the spare battery was charging, he dressed up the hall. He hung a calligraphy and painting on the wall over there, and placed an jade statue on the cabinet here. After a few operations, the seemingly empty hall became...

It feels very high-end.

He found a clothesline and tied the rope straight at both ends of the yard. All the beddings he had picked up were hung on the rope to bask in the sun to get rid of the musty smell. He also washed a set of sheets and hung them to dry.

.

After finishing all this work, it was almost getting dark. In the stone pavilion, there was a fire table that he had built with large bluestones. He placed a cooking pot on the stone, poured water and rice, and started cooking.

Back in the hall, the four spare batteries including the laptop were fully charged. He turned off the generator, put the batteries away, and began to disassemble the casing of the laptop.

Use a screwdriver to unscrew the small screws and pry gently to remove the casing.

The power supply and motherboard are exposed to the air. Unplug the power cord and find the hard disk area. This computer seems to be a relatively new model. It is indeed a dual hard disk type. Unscrew the four small screws that fix the mechanical hard disk and then disassemble it.

data cable, pull it out, and the disassembly of the hard disk is completed.

Plug the power cord back in, press the factory reset button, and the system reinstallation page will appear on the screen. Depending on the performance of the computer, this may take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours.

This time was just for eating. He cooked a large pot of drained rice. The white rice was steaming with clear grains and soft and glutinous. It also had no taste. It tasted much better than those cold and expired cans.

While sitting in the room cooking, I don't know why, but I feel a little moved. Maybe it's because his current life finally looks a little more "human".

The place we live in is no longer a shabby haunted house, and the food we eat no longer looks like leftovers picked up from trash cans.

Looking back at this neat and magnificent room, I felt like I was dreaming.

He didn't know what kind of mood he had, but after it got dark, he started the generator again.

Perhaps just so that the bright light could illuminate the room for a while, looking at the bright room, he lay completely relaxed on the soft sofa, stretched out his hand towards the luminous ceiling lamp on the ceiling, and gave it a shake.

Squinting his eyes slightly, the light flowing from his fingers formed a rainbow-like circle in his field of vision, which was ethereal and dreamy.

Xiaobai lay down at his feet and yawned. He felt that this gray world finally had a little color.

Patting his face and sitting up, he thought of his agreement with Xiao Yun'er to go back and see her when the sun sets and rises twice. Tomorrow is the time for the agreement.

I have to go back to the city center again to bring her a gift.

Jingyuan felt that she was too lonely alone, so it would be best to give her a gift that could relieve her loneliness.

What did he do when he was alone at home?

Watch TV, read novels, watch anime, listen to music, and play with toys

Thinking about it, his childhood was full of fun. His parents didn't put too much pressure on him. They almost let him do whatever he wanted. He didn't like to go out to play and just liked to stay at home.

Bring some comic books to Xiao Yuner, so that when she is alone, she can at least read the comics and not feel too bored.

When I was thinking about where to find comics, my laptop suddenly made a "ding dong" sound.

After the system reinstallation was completed, he sat up, shut down the computer, and then happily put the mechanical hard drive and casing back together.

With excitement, he turned on the computer again, and this time successfully entered the desktop and partitioned the hard drive.

The sensitivity of the mouse is slightly distorted, but it doesn't matter. It doesn't affect him from clicking on the mechanical hard disk area.

A large list of folders came into view, most of which were installed office applications that could no longer be used due to reinstallation of the operating system.

He followed his experience and found the folder with the word "download". These were downloaded files from the Internet.

There are indeed many video files in it, including TV series and movies, but no animation.

This seems to be a female computer, and the titles of the TV series and movies are all Korean dramas and romance movies such as "Seven Days of Love" and "My Boyfriend is a Delinquent".

Although I don't know what the point is for him to watch this kind of romance movie alone, but forget it, it's okay, it's better than nothing.

It's better to have a sexual partner than to daydream alone.
