Courtyard House: A System Connecting Two Worlds, Resources for the Nation

Following the normal trajectory, if you meet the right person through a blind date, it becomes natural to be together.

However, Zhou Feng did not ask Tao Muyao to move in with him.

First of all, his courtyard is kept very private. If Tao Muyao were to suddenly move in there, she would feel a little uncomfortable.

The other two have just started dating, and it seems a bit too hasty to have him move in with her.

However, during the following period, Zhou Feng became somewhat reluctant to leave.

After all, they were two young people who had just started dating and were deeply in love, so naturally they were inseparable.

Aside from the necessary daily transport of supplies, Zhou Feng spent the rest of his time happily dating Tao Muyao.

The latter was also reluctant to part with him, so she took her annual leave and the two spent a whole week traveling around Beiping, enjoying a very happy time together.

However, Tao Muyao's consumption philosophy in life is very similar to Zhou Feng's, which is to only buy what is suitable and not luxury items.

As Zhou Feng gradually came into contact with the upper class, he gained a better understanding of the value and positioning of these products.

What are luxury goods?

Even Hermès, the world's most recognized luxury brand, while insisting on handmade production, still employs assembly line processes.

True luxury, such as Yun brocade with a history of over 1600 years, is described as "woven with jade and gold threads to form the emperor's robe."

During the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, it was the brocade used exclusively for dragon robes. It was made entirely by hand, requiring two professional craftsmen to work together, and they could only weave 5 centimeters a day.

How can the value of clothing woven from Yun brocade be compared to that of mere luxury goods from abroad?

Seven days later, Tao Muyao returned to her normal nine-to-five job, and Zhou Feng also returned to the courtyard world to continue his mission.

After seven days of getting to know each other, their relationship has undergone a dramatic change. At least, except for the last step, all the other procedures have been completed.

Zhou Feng also asked Zhou Ming to help him find a suitable house in Beiping City so that the two of them could settle down.

The modern world and the traditional courtyard house world are two different worlds. Since they are two different worlds, his marriage to someone in each world does not violate the laws of the current world and cannot be considered bigamy.

Under Zhou Ming's teasing gaze, Zhou Feng returned to the world of the courtyard house. As soon as he stepped out of his room, he ran into the Special Operations Division.

"Comrade Zhou Feng, I have good news for you: the negotiations in the north have yielded results!"

Seeing the other person's slightly excited expression, Zhou Feng was also a little confused.

When he returned, he made a special trip to look up the history of the Battle of Yuanbao Island.

Although the war ended in 1969 in the original timeline, negotiations remained deadlocked, resulting in a prolonged stalemate.

I can't believe that the negotiations have already reached a conclusion in just 66 years?

This brings us to the various weapons and equipment that Zhou Feng brought back.

If it's just a regular weapon upgrade, the Russians can simply consider it a successful iteration of the arsenal.

However, the Type 59D anti-tank missiles and high-precision sniper rifles that appeared on Yuanbao Island cannot be explained by a simple iteration!

In the eyes of Russian weapons experts, these three pieces of equipment represent a technological gap that is more than one generation ahead of Russia's current capabilities, and are even beyond their comprehension.

Theoretically, a 105mm rifled gun could also kill a T-62 or even a T-64, but such penetrating wounds would never occur!

The fact that they caused such heavy casualties means that even if they thickened their armor, it would be of no use.

This cannot be explained by a simple upgrade.

Furthermore, the anti-tank missiles used by the Chinese side during the previous conflict could not only hit tanks, but also aircraft!

High rate of fire, long range, accurate, and high damage!

You know, nowadays Russian rocket launcher operators have to rush very close to the tank to fire, how could they shoot from such a distance!

And as for the sniper rifle, the Russians' current SVD has a maximum range of only about 1000 meters, which is not as far as the effective range of the sniper rifle that Zhou Feng brought back!

Therefore, at the strategic level, the Russian intelligence department's analysis concluded that the combat power currently displayed by China is not simply due to equipment upgrades, but rather a generational gap in its industrial system! China has already achieved a surprise generational lead over us in military technology.

The overwhelming force of the ever-evolving tanks represents the overwhelming power of the nation's comprehensive strength in metallurgy, chemical industry, electronics, and precision manufacturing!

Although it's unclear whether China received top-tier technological support from the United States or experienced an incredible technological leap internally, one thing is certain: China has indeed surpassed them!

The most frightening thing is that the Russians' most prized tactic of overwhelming force with tanks, relying on tank swarms for assault, may be completely ineffective when facing China.

That's why they took the initiative to seek help from the United States to negotiate with China and ease tensions.

As the saying goes, truth only exists within the range of artillery fire. Only when your own fist is strong will the other side learn to talk to you properly.

This battle also showcased the prowess of the Dragon Kingdom. At least within the world of the Four Courtyards, the Dragon Kingdom is no longer, in terms of the overall international situation, an agricultural country that can be easily taught a lesson, but a powerful nation with a huge lead in the field of land warfare.

"Tsk tsk tsk, as expected of you guys, you've managed to subdue the Russians so quickly."

In response to Zhou Feng's exclamation, the other party chuckled and patted Zhou Feng on the shoulder.

"What truly defeated the Russians wasn't just our soldiers; the most important factor was the equipment you brought!"

The man's expression as he looked at Zhou Feng carried a hint of flattery.

Only those who have experienced poverty know how rare it is to fight such a wealthy war.

If Zhou Feng brought hope for the development of the Dragon Kingdom in the Siheyuan world, then the battle on Yuanbao Island this time showed the gap between two dimensions.

Judging others by one's own standards, the Dragon Kingdom of the Siheyuan world believed that the weapons Zhou Feng brought were definitely not the most cutting-edge technology of the future world.

Even so, it still overwhelmed them.

How could things have changed so drastically in just 60 years?

In other words, Zhou Feng was not present during their discussion; otherwise, he would have told them that, let alone 60 years ago, even 20 years ago, Zhou Feng did not believe that he would one day go out with only a mobile phone and not even need to carry any money.

If currency, an economic medium that has been passed down for thousands of years, has become digital, what else can't be developed?

Not to mention the Russians who were attacked and the Chinese who did the attack, even the United States was taken aback.

What are all these things in this circle?

Let's not even talk about the Russians who have always been at odds with them.

In recent decades, China has been like a honey badger, never suffering any loss, always ready to act, and most frighteningly, winning every single battle it takes.

Although that small island had been defeated by those two giant mushrooms, it was still a tiny place before they dared to bomb their port's cargo.

Even that backward little monkey, has been fighting since 1961, for 5 years now!

The fighting escalated two years ago, and now they have admitted that there is no hope of winning the war, but there is also no chance of a dignified withdrawal.

So much money was spent, so many people died, and we didn't achieve anything.

Is East Asia toxic?

Everyone says that the European theater of World War II was a meat grinder, but the United States really doesn't agree.

He didn't care whether it was the French rooster, the British bull, or even the Hans cat. He even made a fortune from their war and developed himself.

Compared to these East Asian country bumpkins, America would rather deal with those aristocratic gentlemen.

Zhou Feng was naturally unaware that the weapons he brought would cause such a great shock to the world, but he could still understand the attitude of his comrades from China.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with the other party, he left the courtyard and walked outside.

I've been spending a lot of time in the modern world with Tao Muyao lately, and I'm getting a little tired of it.

It's a good time to go out for a walk and relax.

And having not seen Bai Ling for so many days, I've started to miss her.

Although there are no convenient communication tools like mobile phones in the world of courtyard houses, Zhou Feng believed that as long as he showed his face, someone would naturally notify Bai Ling.

We've been in this world for so many days now, and the security camera at the door has been there for just as long.

Zhou Ming pointed out all the familiar faces who had lingered outside the door countless times.

He was well aware that he was always under the protection of the Special Operations Unit.

However, I don't really dislike it. Isn't it good to have someone protect you? It also makes getting things done much more convenient.

Zhou Feng, after wandering around outside, also felt a bit bored.

After the New Year, the entire city of Beijing returned to its original order, and everyone got busy.

Although there were quite a few people on the streets, they were all walking in a hurry, busy with their own things, especially since several factories around Beiping were about to start production.

The newly recruited workers were busy with family matters before starting work, so they wouldn't be overwhelmed with things after they started working.

"Eh? Comrade Zhou Feng?"

While Zhou Feng was shopping, he suddenly heard a voice greeting him from behind. He turned around and saw Yu Li carrying a cloth bag.

Ever since Zhou Feng arranged a job for her, when she spoke to Yan Jiecheng, he was always dismissive and rude.

Even Yan Bugui and the Third Aunt didn't treat her well.

After all, according to their logic, this position should have been given to the Yan family by Zhou Feng, and Yu Li, being an outsider, had taken such a big advantage from their family.

So during this time, Yu Li often went back to her parents' home. Her family was happy for her when they learned that she had gotten such a good job.

Those like the Yan family, who scheme against their own family members, are still a minority.

"Comrade Yu Li, what's wrong...?"

Zhou Feng looked her up and down. Although the woman looked busy, her energy and spirit were much better than before.

"Oh! I went back to my parents' house and happened to run into you. Shall we go back to the courtyard together?"

"Okay, let's go."

Zhou Feng had finished his walk and turned to walk towards the courtyard house with Yu Li.

They didn't notice that a figure had quietly appeared behind them.

Unlike Yu Li before, Yan Jiecheng, who was following behind them, stared intently at the two who were chatting and laughing.

During this time, he couldn't even touch Yu Li, and when he tried to talk to her, she barely responded. In addition, Yu Li was constantly going to her parents' house, so he followed behind her out of concern.

Unexpectedly, such a big discovery was made. No wonder Zhou Feng gave the job to Yu Li!

Once I get back to the compound, I'll tell my parents about it, and then I'll go directly to the neighborhood office to report it!

Only idiots like Sha Zhu and Grandpa Yi would think that holding a hospital-wide meeting would affect Zhou Feng.

Even he could see that this whole-court meeting was just people in his own courtyard entertaining themselves. If they really wanted to get things done, they would have to go to the government!

Just as Yan Jiecheng was still plotting how to report Zhou Feng, he didn't notice that two expressionless strangers had appeared beside him, and their actions didn't seem very friendly.

"You just wait! No matter what your connections are, you're going to get away with this hooliganism charge!"

He was still staring at Zhou Feng's back, muttering resentfully, when he felt a gust of wind behind him.

The next second, his arms were grabbed by two people, who simultaneously pressed him to the ground.

"Who are you? What do you want? Help!"

It must be said that Yan Jiecheng reacted very quickly.

The instant he was knocked down, he remembered that he was on the street and frantically screamed for help.

However, the sound was only uttered for a second before the person next to him covered his mouth.

Zhou Feng and Yu Li, who were walking in front, also heard the sound behind them. In the instant they turned around, they were blocked by the crowd that had surrounded them.

"What happened next? Why does that voice sound so familiar?"

Yu Li curiously peeked back, while Zhou Feng shrugged indifferently.

"They're probably catching criminals! Otherwise, in broad daylight, who would dare to do anything besides Uncle Hat?"

"That's true, I must have misheard. I don't know any criminals."

Hearing Zhou Feng's words, Yu Li, who had been somewhat curious, immediately turned around and walked forward.

These days, who wants to get involved with criminals?

"My uncle... also said that you helped me a lot with this matter and he wanted to find an opportunity to express his gratitude."

For some reason, just as Yu Li was about to say the word "father-in-law," she instinctively changed it to "third uncle."

"Didn't you already thank me? You even cooked dumplings especially for me."

Zhou Feng didn't care about this kind of thing, after all, he hadn't paid anything for it, it was just something he did casually.

But they didn't know what such a job meant in this era.

At this moment, Yu Li's eyes lit up as she looked at him, but a few seconds later, she sighed softly, and the two walked towards Nanluoguxiang step by step.

The comrades from the Special Operations Unit behind them also showed their identification, dispersed the crowd, and then escorted Yan Jiecheng toward the Special Operations Unit.

They naturally knew that Yan Jiecheng was Zhou Feng's neighbor, but the malice in the other party's eyes was very obvious, and they had to investigate thoroughly.
