Sunday, June 10, 2129. At five o'clock in the morning, everything was silent.

Chen Xihao got up so early for the first time in his twenty-two years of life. I woke up two and a half hours earlier than usual.

Of course, all this is thanks to his housekeeper Xiao Q.

On weekdays, Rishihiro's work time is 9 a.m., and his mobile phone alarm will ring at 7 a.m. on time. Whenever the alarm goes off, it will be turned off by the sleepy Xihao's lightning shot, and a few minutes later, the alarm will still ring again with perseverance, and Xihao's agile hand speed will be turned off again......

If you open Chen Xihao's alarm setting interface, you will find that in the 30 minutes from 7 o'clock in the morning to 7:30 o'clock, he has set a total of 6 alarm time periods, an average of once every five minutes, but every time he can sleep soundly in bed until the last moment, reaching out to turn off the alarm in his sleep has become an instinct in his body.

However, at 7:31 every day, he will still be woken up by the housekeeper Xiao Q by various means.

Just like at 5:01 today, the door of the room where he was sleeping was gently opened, and a round figure glowing red slowly moved to the head of his bed, and it raised its mechanical arm and launched a large cloud of cold paste at Chen Xihao, who was snoring with his mouth wide open.

"Hmm~~~Puff~~Puff~~~~~Ahhhh It's so cool!! Little Q!! I've said it many times, next time I wake up, don't use this kind of violence again! ”

Spouting the foaming cleansing cream in his mouth, Chen Xihao looked very angry.

"The hosts! Good morning! According to your wake-up rules, Xiao Q analyzes through the intelligent system: the success rate of knocking on the door to wake up is 16.5%, the success rate of waking up by looping songs is 35%, the success rate of waking up by tearing off the quilt is 53%, and the success rate of spraying frozen cleanser is 9......0%.

The robot, known as Little Q, flashed red light on its round head, emitting bursts of pleasant mechanical sounds.

β€œSTOP!! Stop!! Little Q! I repeat, don't repeat your robot law to me every day, I'm going to wash up now, you don't say it again! Thank you!! ”

The gray Chen Xihao ran to the bathroom, and there was a sound of running water inside.

At 5:10, Chen Xihao, who had finished cleaning up, walked out of the door, and after going downstairs, he unscrewed the rusty door lock outside the apartment building and came to the community.

This is an old-fashioned community built in the 90s, many street lamps have been damaged, the surrounding environment is dim, only the gray sky still hangs a trace of white crescent moon, a few remnant stars like fish waiting to be fed, one by one, flickering bright and faint through some thin starlight.

In the eastern sky, there is a hint of fish belly white, and the dark red glow belt is shrouded in gray-white dust, like a layer of white paint splashed on the colorful oil painting paper, which is a hazy beauty that cannot be seen clearly, and also shrouds the whole picture of the rising sun.

Chen Xihao tightened the anti-haze purification mask on his face again, pressed the brim of the hat again, unfolded the foldable electric scooter in the backpack and laid it flat on the ground, and pressed the ON start button with his thumb for a while, with a slight shock to the body, the built-in battery of the scooter began to hum, and the photosensitive system of the front spotlight of the skateboard was also started at the same time, two blazing white bright lights shone seven or eight meters away, under the illumination of the translucent beam, the layers of dust seemed to be disturbed, flying up and down,

"This damn weather, I didn't expect to go out before dawn, I'm really unlucky!"

Xihao stepped on the electric scooter and began to speed all the way, he had to arrive at the first floor of the Zhongguancun Science and Technology Building before 7 o'clock.

The TX store there will release the world's exclusive two-dimensional analog experience cabin today, also known as the dimensional experience cabin, which is the latest generation of technology experience products developed by TX Group for 10 years.

It is reported that the dimensional experience cabin includes all the classic works of several major animation exporting countries in the world in the past 50 years, bought out almost all the animation copyrights on the market, combined with the current virtual VR technology and physical touch technology, for the first time, it really broke the dimensional wall, so that the two-dimensional world and the three-dimensional world can be integrated, so that players can experience the immersive travel in the two-dimensional country.

The notice of the first batch of internal beta test places in the meta-experience cabin was promulgated a year ago, and through registration, lottery, lottery and many other links, 2,129 lucky winners were finally screened around the world as the first batch of meta-experience cabin beta players.

On June 10th, the TX Dimensional Experience Warehouse was launched on the same day in five continents and 15 super first-tier cities around the world.

The 15 cities are: London, New York, Paris, Singapore, Shanghai, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Beijing, Dubai, Sydney, Milan, Moscow, Los Angeles, SΓ£o Paulo, and Toronto.

Chen Xihao, as one of the 2,129 lucky winners, he himself doesn't know whether to feel lucky or unlucky.

At first, he just wanted to help his college friend who was a veteran comic fan, and made up enough circle of friends to forward it to get the lottery qualification. Later, Chen Xihao was also curious, and wanted to know more about this activity, so he clicked to view the TX Group's two-dimensional experience cabin electronic leaflet, after reading the introduction, I think it is very interesting, the regular registration is too complicated, and it is pre-registration and data review, or the 10,000-person lottery is relatively simple, it is noted that the special prize is 20 people, and they enjoy the qualification of the global internal test of the dimensional experience cabin, but the probability of winning is extremely low, and the official recommends that fans register through the regular channels.

Chen Xihao recalled the moment when he made his decision again, he saw that the two-dimensional beautiful girl holding the big turntable on the lottery publicity page was very beautiful, which was very in line with his aesthetics, he shook his fingers and chose to use his WeChat account to register for the 10,000-person lottery with one click.

Who knows, he really won the lottery, and became one of the luckiest 20 people in the eyes of 1 billion comic fans, and also won the place of the 1 in 50 million dimensional cabin experiencers.

Ay...... This is so unlucky, why did I have to order it at the time??

Heh~~Ha~~ I'm so sleepy! I really want to sleep~~

After a yawn, Hee-ho, who hadn't slept well all night, had a deep resentment.

If this idea of his is known by the 1 billion comic fans around the world, the ocean of saliva in an instant can immediately make him play drifting on the flat ground......

It's no wonder that Xihao has some resentment, as a newcomer to the workplace of an Internet company, Xihao gets up earlier than a chicken every day, sleeps later than a cat, and what he lacks most every day is sleep time. Even when he usually takes the subway to work for dozens of minutes, he needs to grab the handrail and squint for a while.

Today is Sunday, and it was rare for Chen Xihao to have a lazy sleep, but in order to receive the award, he sacrificed his precious sleep time again.

The residential area is 3.5 kilometers away from the Science and Technology Building, and according to the speed of 10 km/h of the electric skateboard, Chen Xihao only needs 20 minutes to reach it under normal circumstances.

However, today this section of the road seems to be extremely difficult to walk, and the closer you get to the Science and Technology Building, the more congested it becomes. Not only are the motorways crowded with private cars, but even the sidewalks are overcrowded.

After crossing the Zhongguancun Third Bridge, only a few hundred meters away from the Science and Technology Building, Chen Xihao could no longer ride, so he had to fold the scooter into his backpack and follow the flow of people to the destination.

Looking at the young people on the street who were holding leaflets and marching slowly with pilgrimage eyes, as well as cosers dressed up as various anime characters in the team, Chen Xihao knew how rare it was to be qualified for the internal test of the TX dimensional experience cabin as an artifact and holy object in the hearts of comic fans.

"Is this a temple fair for two-dimensional lovers? How many people are there? What an exaggeration! ”

This is also due to the fact that Chen Xihao usually pays less attention to the two-dimensional circle, if he has participated in SDCC, ChinaJoy, TAF|Tokyo Animetion Fair, the world's first-line comic book events, he wouldn't feel how terrifying the traffic in front of him is.

It took more than an hour for Chen Xihao to squeeze from the dense crowd to the back door of the Science and Technology Building, and after showing his identity to the staff, he was hurriedly dragged into the building by several staff members.

Taking the viewing elevator to ascend floor by floor, looking at the crowd that is still gathering downstairs, Chen Xihao is very grateful to the TX staff who called him yesterday, because the staff repeatedly told him that he must arrive before 7 o'clock, otherwise it will be very troublesome before coming in.

What is this trouble, looking at the crowd of people surging from all directions and crowding around the square of the Science and Technology Building, Chen Xihao already has a deep understanding.

"Hello! Are you Mr. Chen Xihao? ”

After reaching the 29th floor, a woman with a beautiful face in a black public dress came to Xihao's side with a smile on her face.

"Yes, I am, hello!"

"Hello, I'm lisa, first of all, on behalf of our company, TX Group would like to congratulate you on obtaining the qualification for the internal testing of the world's first dimensional experience module. Please follow me, we need to register and register you first, and also give you a physical test! ”

In the following time, Chen Xihao was dizzy, not only measuring height and weight, but also measuring eyesight, lung capacity, blood pressure, heartbeat, stress response, brain wave spectrum and a bunch of messy things......

By the time all the staff had completed the test, Chen Xihao had been tossed for nearly two hours.

"Okay, Mr. Chen Xihao, according to the actual situation of your body, our engineers will completely input your personal data into the TX two-dimensional experience cabin system within three days, you can now go home and wait patiently for four days, we will be on the morning of June 14th, by the staff to come to your door to install it personally."

"Okay, thank you very much!! Thank you! ”

"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry for delaying your morning, here's my business card, Lisa. We wish you a pleasant beta experience in advance, and you are welcome to contact us at any time to give us more feedback and give your valuable feedback! ”

Lisa handed Chen Xihao a business card of her own, smiled again and invited him to take the elevator with her, this time not to the first floor, but directly to the basement.

It turned out that at the exit of the elevator, the driver of the TX Group had been waiting for a long time, and thoughtfully opened the rear door for Chen Xihao.

10 minutes later, Chen Xihao, who returned home, threw himself into the sofa, his mind was still a little dazed, still recalling today's bizarre scenes, wasn't he just going to get an experience cabin? How did you make yourself like a guinea pig and be tested all morning?

"The hosts! Welcome home, what would you like to drink? Orange juice. Coke. Or iced coffee? ”

Xiao Q's pleasant mechanical voice interrupted Chen Xihao's thoughts. Looking at the little red eyes flashing in front of the sofa, Chen Xihao smiled and flicked it after a brain break,

said, "Then let's have a bottle of Coke, thank you, little Q!" ”

"You're welcome! Master! According to the user behavior judgment guide, the owner has just attacked Xiao Q with his middle finger, and according to Article 7, Paragraph 24 of the Robot Law, the owner is suspected of mild use of violence, and Xiao Q will record your behavior and will truthfully report it to the intelligent cloud system center later. Master, in order to avoid your behavior rating being affected, please apologize immediately, and the countdown to data reporting is 30 seconds, 29, 28 ....... ”

"Good, good!! I was wrong, I'm sorry, little Q! I'll be careful not to bully you next time, okay? ”

"Received an apology from the owner, and the countdown is over. Data reporting is suspended. Master, did you carry out the previous directive? ”

"Execute, execute!! Go get me a Coke! Every day, I either suffer from the bird in the company, or I have to suffer from your bird gas when I go home. It's almost impossible to get by. ”

The cute little Q didn't pay attention to Chen Xihao, who kept complaining, with the slight buzz caused by the friction between the gears, the two tracks of the small Q base kept rotating, pushing it to move to the front of the refrigerator, one mechanical arm slowly straightened and lifted high, until it was parallel to the refrigerator sliding door, two semicircular mechanical toes held the refrigerator sliding door, and after opening the refrigerator door, the other mechanical toe took out a bottle of Coke.

"Master, your Coke!"

After taking the ice cola from Xiao Q's hand, Chen Xihao unscrewed the lid and took a sip, which was cold, cold and refreshing, making him burp comfortably.

"Master, you forgot to thank Xiao Q, according to Article 6, Paragraph 12 of the Law of Robots, the owner is suspected of not being able to respect other species equally, Xiao Q will record your behavior and will truthfully report it to ...... later"

"Stop! Stop!! I was wrong, thank you!! Thank you! Little Q, please don't mention that law again! ”

"Also, little Q, please turn on the TV for me, thank you!"

Xiao Q obediently helped Chen Xihao turn on the TV again, and at this time, the program on the TV was global current affairs news.

"Hello audience, I am the host Ai Fan, I am located in Pingtang County, Qiannan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province, and behind me is the world's largest radio telescope "Sky Eye". ”

"Recently, some foreign scientists have observed that the active frequency of solar flares has greatly exceeded that of previous years, and predicted that it may have a huge impact on the daily life of the earth, for which we specially invited one of the scientists participating in the Sky Eye project, academician ......"

Chen Xihao couldn't listen to it, so he casually changed to another variety entertainment channel.

"What a mess. Instead of paying attention to solar flares, it is better to pay more attention to the ecological environment of the earth itself, which is gray every day, and there is no way for people to go out outdoors on weekends, and the air purification system has to be turned on 24 hours a day at home. ”

Hey?? That's right, air purification.

"Little Q, go and turn on the central control system, I said why do you feel that your throat is dry and itchy, and I forgot to turn on the central control air purification system."

"Okay, master! The central control system has been turned on! ”

"Hmmm! Very good! ”

"Master!"

"What's going on??"

"In accordance with Article 6, paragraph 12, of the Law of Robotics......"

β€œOK! I know! Thank you!! Thank you!! Uncle Q!! ”

This weekend, like many weekends as usual, Chen Xihao spent happily in various quarrels and apologies with Xiao Q.
