Chapter 5 Arriving Home
Maple Leaf Road is a street about five or six meters wide, and the two rows on the side of the road are planted with maple trees, full of red maple leaves, and the clean and tidy road surface gives people a very comfortable feeling.
Cheng Chen is a little strange, there is almost no sunlight here, but how does this plant grow?
Speaking of sunlight, he thought again, since this is not the earth, there should be no sun, right? But how would humans survive if there was no sun? There are more and more questions in my mind.
Maybe he can get the answer from Xiaoya, but he decided to put the question aside for the time being, and for now he should find his own place to live with peace of mind before thinking about anything else.
The road is quiet, there are not many pedestrians passing by, most of them are strolling leisurely. Everyone wore that wonderful pair of glasses, and their expressions were focused and quiet.
There was an occasional car on the side of the road. However, apart from the hovering bus, there are no other vehicles flying in the air. The bus also did not run on a special pipe, but flew directly at an altitude of about three meters from the road, which was not fast. Probably because there are few special pipes for hovercars in the lower city.
After about two minutes of walking, the pointer on the map had stopped and was pointing a short distance to the right. The two rows on the side of the road are full of two- and three-storey houses.
Cheng Chen judged that inside the small low wall surrounded by a row of wooden fences was his rented place.
The fence was unlocked, and it was gently pushed open and a gravel path five or six meters long was set on both sides, planted with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants.
In front of you is a two-storey building, up close, the building material is a non-stone and non-wood synthetic material, dark red, the texture is very simple.
A half-covered door was slightly closed, and there was no sound inside, Cheng Chen hesitated and didn't go in to disturb.
Seeing that there was a stone staircase extending upwards against the wall not far from the window on the right, Cheng Chen knew that he was renting on the second floor, so he went up the stairs.
The door to the second floor was closed, and there was an unsightly white sheet metal door in front of me.
He habitually touched the back of his trouser waistband, but did not touch the key, "Is it also scanning with glasses?" "I guessed in my heart.
Sure enough, I saw a peephole-sized dot, leaned in and stared at it, and with a ding, the door quietly slid open.
The indoor light was very dim, coupled with this quiet and deep environment, Cheng Chen couldn't help but feel a little hairy in his heart, and stretched out his hand to touch the wall to see if there was a light switch.
The room suddenly lit up.
It seems that the interior is very simple and clean, and the architectural style of the day room is obvious.
The entrance is narrow, and two pairs of slippers sit on an oval blanket. On the left is the foyer, which rises one step higher.
Cheng Chen changed into slippers and walked into the foyer, where the lighting was very soft, and the beige wooden floor gave people a very warm feeling.
The two walls are separated by wooden sliding doors that resemble a screen, with paper on the top, exactly like the Japanese style seen on TV before.
In the foyer, there are two sofas, a glass coffee table, and nothing else.
Cheng Chen looked around, this is the layout of one bedroom, two living rooms, one kitchen and one bathroom, the area is not big or small, it is estimated that it is about seventy or eighty square meters.
To the left of the foyer is the kitchen, dining room and bedroom, and to the right is the bedroom, bathroom and balcony. Several houses are simple, there are no furnishings, the kitchen has a semi-circular spherical appliance hanging on the wall, Cheng Chen looked at the refrigerator, there are some vegetables that he has not seen before, it seems that the owner of this body usually cooks by himself.
However, Cheng Chen judged that it was still morning, and he didn't feel hungry yet.
He went back to his bedroom and looked at the posters on the walls of many beautiful men and women, obviously the stars of this world. He had already guessed the yearning of the owner of this body for stars and the entertainment industry, but he didn't expect it to reach such a crazy point.
There is only one wardrobe and a chair in the bedroom, such a simple furnishing, which is beyond his expectations, originally Cheng Chen also hoped to find some clues in the residence to study the past information of this body owner, but now he saw a qiē, which made him completely dead.
He pulled over the chair and sat down, thought about it for a while, and decided to start with the virtual machine qì person first and see if he could ask something.
He had a hunch that the secrets of this world and the secrets of the owner of this body should be able to find the answer in that glasses, because he had been looking for objects similar to computers or books, but there were none, since these glasses were so powerful, could they have integrated the regular functions of computer data storage.
He wore the glasses all the time, but the screen had long since disappeared, and he called "Xiaoya" softly.
The translucent screen then appeared, and the mini girl appeared in front of him with a smile again, he had some immunity to Xiaoya's realistic human expressions, and if he looked closely, he found that the virtual girl's facial expressions were still a little dull.
In the bedroom, Cheng Chen sat on a chair and stared blankly at his glasses, and time passed quietly.
After a long time, Cheng Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief, the function of these glasses is indeed very powerful, not only has all the functions of the computer in the previous life, but also integrates mobile phones, ID cards, bank cards, infrared scanning, virtual space technology and other functions.
In the communication between Tong Guò and Xiaoya, he finally had some basic understanding of the world, and even knew a lot more about the owner of this body.
He knew that he should have traveled to a world that had a lot to do with his previous life, similar to a parallel space.
As far as he knew, this world was very close to the history of previous lives.
But the biggest problem is time. Yes, time!
Compared to the previous life, this is a future time and space where human technology has developed into the interstellar era.
The original timeline of this world is basically exactly the same as the previous life, but in the early nineties of the 20th century, the third world war broke out in this world, and the reasons for the outbreak of war and the process of the war have been covered up by history, and he has not found much relevant information.
It is only clear that the world war lasted for almost a dozen years, and there were even several small-scale nuclear wars.
In the course of the war, the world's political forces were constantly shuffled and combined, and finally formed a political pattern of the four major super-power blocs headed by China, the Asian League, South America, NATO, the European Union, and the East Russia, and the CIS headed by East Russia.
After the end of the war, it may be because of the combination of forces that promoted the development of science and technology, or some other unknown mysterious reason. In short, the science and technology of the major forces have developed by leaps and bounds, and in just one hundred years, there have been breakthroughs in cutting-edge technology, especially in aerospace and intelligent systems. Examples include intelligent systems, virtual space technology, and space transition technology.
In particular, the emergence of space transition technology represents the realization of transgalactic travel, and also represents the official entry of the world into the interstellar era and the application of a new era, the first year of the star yuan.
In the 100 years after the interstellar age, the four major powers of mankind have rapidly occupied their respective territories in more than a dozen galaxies that they can reach, and each has several or a dozen planets suitable for human survival. Since then, the development of human science and technology has entered a bottleneck period.
So far, in the year 308 of Xingyuan, human beings have more than 100 billion people, living on more than 40 planets.
Because human life is becoming more and more superior, but facing fewer and fewer existential threats, and the development of science and technology has been in a bottleneck period, so human beings living in this era are the happiest and most pitiful.
Because of the superiority of material conditions, so happy; But because he lost the direction and goal of his struggle, he was pitiful.
Human beings have temporarily lost the way forward and gradually shifted their interest to various entertainments, so the entertainment industry has become more and more prosperous, and even caused a grand occasion for the whole people to chase stars.
This is an era of entertainment, entertainment life has become the best way for people to spend time, and this is an era when star status is in full swing.
