The roads of Cotton Tree City are full of potholes, as if they are fables.

In this metropolis, where motorcycles and electricity are banned in principle, the takeaway brother's motorcycle runs very happily, which is also a fable, their motorcycles will be investigated and dealt with by the urban management, and a series of joys and sorrows will be staged. The sad thing is the loss aversion habit of Homo sapiens, and the goodbye is the red rabbit in the horse that they accompany for more than ten hours a day.

Every little brother on a motorcycle is gambling, betting that they will not be met by the big brother of the city management who attends. In this uncertain world, no one can wait for the perfect decision after the information is complete, and life is a gamble.

Municipal regulations are not perfect, so we all become gamblers passively.

The delivery boy apparently lost to an oncoming colleague, whose lengthy fence on the main road forced him to go against the road to get to the next traffic light, colliding with his peer who was looking down at the navigation but still speeding away.

Something hard cut through his elbow, making the dusk even more bloody. The motorcycle fell to one side, the unprofessional red strap failed to bind the black incubator, crooked to the side, like a rooster with a broken neck.

It's not a problem, the real thing is that there are two customers in the incubator to take out. Speaking of the content of this takeaway, the little brother lost the bet again, because this is the most unsuitable for the car accident in the heavy 丨Qing super spicy tang and grain fish powder, both categories are hot and juicy, under the action of external forces, the soup broke through the packaging in an instant, staining the chastity of the plastic bag.

This little brother used to be a young Homo sapiens sitting in an air-conditioned office, with thin arms and thin legs, of course, he couldn't bargain in the collision with the big brother opposite, the big brother was good, and the little brother had a melancholy face, and scolded the street fiercely.

The eldest brother smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, you can just go back and change the packaging." ”

Little brother: "It's going to be timeout!"

Big brother: "I'm going to overtime too, I'm sorry, I have to go, in vain!"

The little brother's face was full of anger: "Don't go!" He reached out to pull, and the electric car that had just stabilized for a while fell to the side again, and the appearance of the super spicy tang and the five grains and fish noodles was even more unsightly.

In order to save the electric car, he himself fell, and a speeding taxi happened to run over his palm, and he heard the sound of bone cracking, and the legendary sound bone conduction he finally experienced firsthand.

"Ahh

The takeaway boy looked back at the panting exhaust pipe of the taxi, his mood fell to the extreme, and the words of a great man in his speech came to mind: "When I was the most difficult and helpless in my life, I went to Shaanxi and came to the holy land of Yan丨 Ange, where I meditated for a few days and made a decision that seems to be very remarkable and successful today, that is, to establish Taobao." ”

The takeaway brother may not be able to go to the Holy Land, because the economic conditions do not allow, the most he can do is listen to Guanxi's album "A Monkey - Part III", and from the voice of this master photographer, he regurgitates how he announced his permanent retirement from the entertainment industry in the most difficult and helpless situation.

The little brother went directly to the hospital for emergency treatment and forgot to call the insurance company as soon as possible. Even if he hasn't forgotten, he won't fight, go to your duck's Ji bar insurance, Lao Tzu is so painful that he killed his father, what kind of dead ghost insurance can he take care of?

Fortunately, he was an old driver and was familiar with the nearby hospital, so he soon arrived at an ear, nose and throat specialist hospital and rushed to the doctor. The little brother is a very white child, however, after becoming a delivery boy, he was tanned by ultraviolet rays, mainly on the arms, the arms exposed outside the short-sleeved overalls are very black, and the arms hidden under the clothes are snow-white.

However, he had not been doing this for a long time, and his face had not yet tanned, because ultraviolet rays were easily blocked by the oil secreted by his face, and only ultraviolet rays could darken the skin.

The nurse's sister who bandaged him said: "Look at you wearing glasses, Si Swenwen, if you weren't wearing a 'beautiful takeaway' uniform, it really doesn't look like a takeaway." Also, your name, Juchen, is more cultural. ”

Juchen gritted his teeth and said: "I didn't really do this business, I just experienced crowdsourcing work, exercised by the way, and being in front of the computer all day long is not good for my health, I have a little chest tightness, and I am only in my thirties, it's really bad." ”

It turns out that he is already in his thirties, and in the eyes of some post-00s, he can no longer be called a takeaway brother, and the takeaway brother is almost the same, Juchen suddenly felt a little sad, feeling like a "monkey".

The curious nurse sister interrupted the monkey's ramblings and asked, "What is crowdsourcing?"

Juchen: "It's to let the public contract the work, there are no fixed employees, there are no fixed working hours, it's very free, I like freedom, although I don't make much money." ”

Nurse sister: "It's a good job, and I like freedom, but it's a pity...... I can't deliver food, the sun is so hot outside, I don't want to be a black rose, hehe!"

Juchen said: "Not now, there will be more and more such work in the future." Even the programmer's work can be crowdsourced, and when it develops to the extreme, each programmer only needs to complete one function at a time, hand it over to the test program, and get a sum of money immediately after passing the test, and only need to complete a function for a few minutes after each start. In the future, programming will be like an assembly line, and each programmer will only need to be proficient in a few functions, which may be easier than delivering food now, and then programmers will truly become coders. ”

Nurse sister: "Can a girl like me be a programmer if she doesn't learn or know anything?"

Juchen nodded: "Yes." ”

He chatted happily with his sister nurse and forgot about the pain in his body for a while, but unfortunately people are very busy, and nursing work is not just to earn money.

The happiness was really short-lived, because the two customers who were delayed by him called to urge the order, and another customer saw that his positioning had not changed in one place for a long time, and he was even more angry, and they all scolded.

Juchen was already in a bad mood, and when he encountered this kind of hanging hair, he hung up the phone directly, and suddenly, he didn't pay much attention to this job, because he was really hurt, and he felt that this job could not last, it was too dangerous. Fortunately, today I just crushed the palm, and it is a big deal to become Yang Guo, if I crush my head, it will be over, and it is impossible to use cryonics technology to hibernate myself.

Therefore, there are two more bad reviews on his account, as well as compensation, and he lost more than 100 yuan, and the day's hard work was in vain.

On the first day, the main feeling was pain, and on the second day, the insurance company contacted and said that it was impossible to conclude that it was a work injury, and a female customer service elegantly denied it in a sweet voice, leaving Juchen speechless, and an unprecedented irritability surged into his heart, an unprecedented anger brewed in his heart, and he felt that he was about to explode at any time.

In the midst of extreme resentment, the things he usually cared about suddenly vanished, and he entered a mode of "epiphany".

He Juchen also worked hard 7 or 8 years ago, and once wanted to change his fate, but then he hid this obsession, like a mammoth that has been frozen for 10,000 years, and now global warming has seen the light of day again.

Let me try again, and suddenly he had another idea. His so-called effort is not as easy as gritting his teeth and stomping his feet, but masochistic like an ascetic, forgetting all the worldly and mundane, and devoting himself to one thing, of course, he has not thought of what this is at the moment, and he will talk about it first.

"Small achievements need friends, big achievements need enemies. Ju Chen muttered to himself, the delivery brother who hit him, the hit-and-run old driver, and the customer service lady of the insurance company are all the image spokespersons of the setbacks he encountered, and he wants to turn hatred into motivation and let them all become whips with poisonous hooks to spur themselves. As long as you think of them, the dantian will be filled with restless energy, and not masochistic is not enough to make people angry.

He can't deliver food anymore, and doctors say it will take at least a year for his wrist to be good, and it's not necessarily 100% good, in other words, he could be disabled for life. I don't know why, Ju Chen's mind instantly thought of such a picture - after he became famous, he went to eat women's bodies, and he gently stroked the body of a virgin tender model with his disabled strange hands.

Why do you want to touch it with your own strange hand? Why don't you use that sound hand? Is it to show your uniqueness? The meaning of your life may be to pursue to be different from others, he thinks.

The old mistake is made again, once he is full of fighting spirit, he always imagines that he has achieved fame and rehearses in advance, so as not to let others see that he has just won the first pot of gold. Someone asked on the Internet, "How can I make people think that they come to Starbucks often?" In fact, everyone has this kind of funny mentality, after all, 90% of people grew up from slings, and 89% are like that forever.

Juchen suddenly remembered his grandfather, one of his fingers was also weird, it seemed to be a middle finger, no nails, like a small head, he was very curious to ask when he was a child, and the answer had been forgotten, even if he hadn't forgotten, maybe his grandfather didn't tell the truth to a child.

Grandpa is the most literate person in Juchen's family, at least he is a civil servant, lives in a government compound, and can tell stories, when he was a child, Juchen liked the stories told by his grandfather the most, of course, what is the specific story, the forgetful Juchen has long forgotten it. According to his grandfather, Juchen was very talkative when he was a child, and he chattered non-stop when he teased him, but when he grew up, he was silent, which disappointed his grandfather.

There's no way, Ju Chen's mind is full of knowledge like blockchain, or useless knowledge such as how to use standard candlelight to determine the distance of a star 100 million light-years away, and the villagers' cognition doesn't seem to be much different from the ancestors of the Stone Age. How do you communicate with the folks in your hometown? I had to be silent.

My hometown is not far from Cotton Tree City, and it took me three hours to get to my home, and after washing off the dust, I went out to visit my family. Juchen didn't go to his parents' house immediately after returning to his hometown for the first time, but went to his grandfather's house, went to eat at dinner, bought a bunch of vegetables, and asked his grandparents and two old people to cook for him, after all, the disabled have privileges.

This meal was particularly delicious, which made Juchen, who was in his thirties, feel like he was back in his childhood, except that today he was telling a story to his grandfather. My grandfather especially didn't understand why the People's Liberation Army didn't even come to a country as weak as India, so he should have killed them.

Juchen smiled and said: "Go to the army to fight, then to fight the enemy, the last time to fight the army, diplomacy is more important than force." China has hundreds of nuclear warheads, India also has hundreds, and if a war really starts, both countries will be destroyed, so it will not be good for everyone to come hard. If we want to impose economic sanctions, India basically does not import goods to China, but China has a large amount of exports to India, so China still suffers.

Besides, if you offend India, the country's Belt and Road strategy will be over. Because the Maritime Silk Road passes through the Indian Ocean, and the Indian Navy dominates the Indian Ocean, aircraft carriers have been operating for decades, unlike China, which has not yet formed combat effectiveness. Even if China's aircraft carriers can fight, it will also be India's home turf in the Indian Ocean, and China's aircraft carriers may be trapped in the first island chain and will not be able to get out, let alone cross the Strait of Malacca.

One of the Silk Roads on the road passes through South Asia, and India on the South Asian subcontinent is the regional hegemon, so it still depends on India's face. The only China-Europe railway that has now been officially opened is actually a failure. Because we can only go to Europe through China's ally Russia, but our Chinese railways use the track width of the West, which is different from Russia, and there is a cost and time cost to change tracks.

This is not counting, diplomatically, there are still many countries that have not been done, resulting in many Chinese goods to be stopped and inspected in some countries, which is not in line with the original setting of a smooth road, so if there is no state subsidy, the goods are still willing to run by sea from the Strait of Malacca to Europe. Subsidies are certainly not a long-term solution. ”

Grandpa didn't expect that his grandson, who was accustomed to silence, would talk so much in one breath, and many things that his old man had never thought of, I'm afraid that his old man probably guessed why his grandson didn't like to open his mouth before, because what he said couldn't be understood by others, and his grandfather didn't know what the first island chain was.

"Is the Belt and Road a failure?" asked my grandfather.

Ju Chen said with a wicked smile: "There is an entrepreneur named Lao Luo who said that as long as the founder does not give up, the project will not fail. ”

Because my grandfather cares about national affairs, so Juchen only talks about this, in fact, he is now not interested in these ethereal distances, it is impossible to change the world, it is impossible to change the country, a person is just a grasshopper facing the giant wheel of history, that sense of powerlessness When you really feel it, there will even be a feeling of freedom, just like you know the vastness of the universe for the first time, and its nature of taking all things as a dog.

The most important thing for him now is that he has no money, the mortgage costs money, it costs money to eat, it is easy to solve the problem, you can buy a few boxes of instant noodles, you want the kind of new Master Kong, what golden soup beef noodles, golden soup shrimp ball noodles, white pepper meat bone noodles, black pepper steak noodles, Japanese-style pork bone noodles, seafood pork bone noodles, hot and sour pork bone noodles, buy online, the cost is only 2.3 ¥ / package, but the material is very sufficient, there is a package of eye-catching dehydrated vegetables, and the taste is also very good.

Instant noodles are not only convenient, but also very healthy, you will not eat gutter oil, the only thing to worry about is that palm oil is used for frying, which is equivalent to fat, margarine for bread, and artificial cocoa butter for cheap chocolate. If the nutrition is not balanced, you can add two eggs, change the sausage for the next meal, and if you still feel that it is not enough, you can buy vitamin complex tablets, or buy a large bag of dehydrated vegetables, and occasionally use a cooking bag to add food. After a meal, the cost is about 5 yuan.

Of course, in my hometown, I can often visit my relatives to help them repair their computers, tidy up their mobile phones, and have a delicious and hearty home-cooked meal by the way.

As for the mortgage, he can't afford a house that is too expensive, so it's not much, whether it's his father or his mother, one-third of the pension can pay off the mortgage, first ask his parents to borrow money, as for when to repay the money, then I don't know, it is estimated that the parents don't care.

In this way, he only needs to spend less than ten yuan a day to get his living expenses, and he can plan how he should work hard, so that his life, which has passed more than 30 years of spring and autumn, will have a second spring.

He had previously learned a programming method called Test-driven_development (TDD), everything is test-centric, as he told his nurse sister, TDD may be the key to programming crowdsourcing, if you want to find a grand goal, this may be - to build a programming crowdsourcing system. This is the conclusion of his accumulated knowledge over the past eight years, and it is also in line with his knowledge structure.

So why did he prefer to deliver food rather than be a code farmer? of course, because of laziness. Programming is hard, programming for others is even harder, although he has this skill, but most of them do their own projects, and they don't make money, because they are afraid of hard work, and the work assigned by others is meaningless, and it feels like a waste of life. Just like India's so-called "strong IT industry", in fact, it is all outsourcing, giving other people's projects a dead trick, and the result is not as good as China's copycat industry.

Using Ethereum to program a general purpose is extremely complex, and even Microsoft scientists find it very difficult, and it is estimated that it is unlikely to become popular at this stage. Some people think that this distributed computing platform is impossible to succeed because there is a fatal flaw - it is too inefficient.

This inefficiency starts with Bitcoin, you think, the ledger is kept in everyone's computer, and centralized services only need one server to guarantee work, at most like Google, where data is kept in three places at any one time in case of accidents.

Because of this inefficiency, it takes 10 minutes for a block to be generated for Bitcoin, and it is considered irreversible after 6 blocks are formed, that is, an hour. Even the improved Bitcoin variant can only be optimized to confirm a payment in 10 minutes.

The one-armed hero Ju Chen spent ten days and ten nights in front of his laptop thinking about how to break through the ceiling of distributed computing, and finally groped for the edge of the solution—— Find an open-source supercomputer system, understand how it distributes computing resources, and then apply this technology to distributed computing, but replace the trustworthy computer with a unit that needs to be vigilant, and each instruction needs to be distributed to three nodes, and only if the results of the three nodes are the same, it will be regarded as a reliable operation, otherwise the node that went wrong will be recorded, and the reputation index will be accumulated.

Because the huge amount of computation will be broken into tens of millions of small programs, it is impossible for a single node to know the intention of the original program by analyzing trivial small programs, which achieves the purpose of reliable computing. This was originally a very complicated programming, however, Juchen also had a way to get around, because someone had already written a similar program to search for aliens, and each computer could do its part, called: SETI.

Ordinary people don't even dare to think about it, and they want to combine Ethereum, three-point computing and SETI, but Juchen has entered a state of selflessness, and has long left behind the feelings that ordinary programmers think is impossible, and goes all out to figure out how to achieve it.

He didn't dare to think about it before, but now it's different, he seems to have become a Buddha on the ground.

In any project, especially an innovation that has never been done before, obstacles will always come over like a flood of beasts, and a careless explorer will be defeated. Juchen held out in front of the flood beast for a month, and he knew that he had once again entered a state of fearlessness, including defeat itself. There was only one thought in his heart: forward, forward, forward.

Just when he was going all out to devote himself to the dream of salted fish, his family came to make trouble again and wanted to introduce him to a girlfriend, but of course he resolutely refused. I don't know why, the woman also called him to sneer at him, and he was inexplicable, forget it, he was too lazy to bother with the woman.

It is normal for women to have no brains, because their positioning is not to participate in cruel competition, for example, in the previous wars, there could be no women, because women took on the function of giving birth and raising cubs, and the tribes that did not taboo the women's army that once appeared were extinct, and the tribes that could survive, that is, our ancestors, including us, were accustomed to allowing men to participate in high-intensity mental and physical activities, and gradually became privilege and culture.

Most males in nature are highly competitive, such as the male bird of paradise, who is far more beautiful than the female, or versatile. And human beings, too, are competitive, but intellectually and physically. Once a man gets married and has offspring, there will be a feeling of "completing the man's mission", and from then on, both physical and intellectual strength will decline, and this psychological state is imperceptible, and many people do not notice.

Juchen believed in this strange theory, so he refused to start a family before he was done. What's more, with his current state, it is impossible to find a good match.

Juchen looked at his twisted left wrist, then at the trash can full of instant noodle bags, sighed, then took a deep breath, and continued to delve into the world of zero and one, in the company of anti-human code.

Parents also came to harass themselves, complained, and when they were sent away, Juchen silently changed the lock cylinder, isolated himself from the world, and was not ready to go out except for the takeaway and express delivery he ordered.

Of course, this move also angered his parents, and after scolding him, he threatened to cut off the payment of his mortgage. Juchen said to his mother lightly: "It's a big deal to take it away from the bank, anyway, I can't afford to pay it for the time being, so I can't find a job." ”

By the next month, my mother's anger was gone, and she still paid him the mortgage, and after knocking on the door to no avail, she left a note outside, saying that she had paid the mortgage, and let him recuperate from his illness and injuries, don't think about it.

Mom and Dad thought he was mentally ill because he couldn't think about it because of a car accident.

It doesn't matter, the master always has his own suffering, and others don't understand it, so it's called a master outside the world, when I first entered this state before, a girl in the same class also said that everyone thinks Juchen is a weird person, in fact, this is another name for mental illness. Not only do the older generation not understand, but also the people of the same generation will not understand that Juchen is a horse with a dream.

He has spent 90% of his waking hours pondering projects, occasionally pushing open the balcony door and looking out into the sky on the 9th floor, the highest floor of the building, where sometimes a cold moon will appear, silently reflecting him and the earth, just like the "late heavy bombardment" 4 billion years ago, when the solar system was still unstable, and a large number of asteroids frantically crashed into the surface of the moon, forming the shocking craters that humans found when they first saw the far side of the moon.

Well, that's the case, whether it's the inexplicable woman I've never met, or the so-called parents, it's all asteroids, I'm just standing still, it's always like this at the beginning of the great new life, everything can really be connected, and there is no need for the theory of the six degrees.

Sometimes he also thinks about philosophy, what is the loophole in Ma Zhe's "universal connection of everything"? From a scientific point of view, it is the ubiquitous dark matter and dark energy that binds everything together, right? The mass of dark matter accelerates the rotation of the Orion spiral arm of our banking system, which orbits the center of the galaxy in 250 million years. Therefore, some scientists hypothesize that the solar system will enter a major ice age every 250 million years, because the entire solar system will enter an endless cloud of interstellar dust at that time, obscuring the sky and the sun, leading to mass extinctions.

This is really interesting, but unfortunately, it is only encountered once in 250 million years, and if it can be encountered, it will be a great honor, even if you are a ghost, you will be happy.

Belch...... Wait a while, 250 million? How does this number seem to have been seen somewhere? Juchen frowned, pondered for a while, and finally remembered the theory of continental drift! Continental drift is exactly 250 million years of reincarnation, and all the continents converge into a supercontinent.

Is there any connection between the two? Ju Chen smiled, this is too outrageous, thinking too much.

Speaking of whimsical ideas, he also had another idea in his mind -- why was the moon just able to shade the sun during the solar eclipse? Was it just a coincidence? I wonder if it was a coincidence, could it be because the earth's gravitational pull on the moon and the sun happened to be equal to that of the sun during a total solar eclipse? According to the magnetic field lines invented by Faraday, the "gravitational lines" from the earth to the moon and the sun can be drawn, and the cross-sections of the two are comparable, isn't it the same gravitational force?

Could it be that the moment of a total solar eclipse is the so-called "Lagrange point" where the Earth is in the equilibrium of the Moon and the Sun's gravity?

At first, Juchen was still complacent about his whimsy, but soon slapped himself and said to himself like a madman: "Damn, do all the useless stuff, no wonder you are still a Loser, continue like this...... Don't think about it!"

Putting aside these habitual "tidbits", Ju Chenjun returned to the inhumane world of code, like a soldier who was reprimanded by the commander to enter the battlefield.
