Chapter 37 Meaning is such a thing, just say it
How can there be such a TV show in the world, live broadcast alien tourists moving bricks on the construction site. Is there still a heavenly principle?
"Well, what we're seeing." In the live broadcast rooms around the world, the hosts were speechless and kicked the ball to the experts, "What's the situation?" β
The experts cleared their throats and analyzed:
"We know the 'butterfly effect', and by extension, when you move a brick on Earth, you can trigger a super solar storm 10,000 light-years away. Maybe, I mean maybe, this is their precisely calculated operation, a kind of dark forest deterrent. β
"The three standards of civilization are writing, city, and ceremonial architecture, and the last two are in fact related to bricks. We may have overlooked the humanistic significance of something like bricks, but advanced civilizations are different. They get pleasure from moving bricks, just like we play with art. β
"When we say that a guy is honest, they say, 'He's a brick.'" The English word for brick also means "good man". It's actually a more advanced good guy card, and once the other party can't accept that he is out of control and wants to hurt you, you can slap him down with a brick. This may be the reason why aliens love bricks. β
Can you believe these words yourself, bastard!
The audience is so angry, why isn't it obvious, human beings have gone to Africa to build houses and mountain villages to build pig sheds, this is the current situation!
In any case, the alien tourists can move energetically, and there are also muddy water, steel bars, and excavators...... Although they are wearing spacesuits, they are not the bulky kind of earthlings, and they are all as light as clothes, so they are nimble with their hands and feet, especially those Zerg tourists. The bubbler spaceball released a wave of energy to operate, and it looked like the bricks were flying in the air.
In the shady rest shed in the distance, Lin Fang, Dongmo Tonggong, and Wei Miao all sat on chairs and played with their mobile phones, but Wei Miao played with an Apple mobile phone.
An hour passed, a few hours passed, and the tourists' experience time ran out one after another, and they were driven away by the contractor.
They sweated profusely and took a few holograms of their results with their mobile phones and cameras, and of course they had to enter the mirror and then post them to the circle of friends:
"Moving bricks on the earth (coordinates) with children, primitive life has taught us a lot."
"I am very happy to be able to seriously move the bricks for half a day in this impetuous universe."
"I used to think that the spirit of craftsmanship no longer exists, but in fact, as long as you are willing to look for it, you will definitely find it."
"Guys, it's hard work." At this time, Dongmo Tonggong came with a bright smile, and the bigwigs followed behind with a few boxes of drinks, and she said: "All these earth drinks are 100 yuan a bottle, do you want anything?" "What are those drinks, such as Wang Laogu, Likou Duobao, Red Afternoon, and Oba Niu...... Some are leftovers from previous drink shops, and some are bought from Pinduoduo.
The alien tourists hesitated, although most of them were carbon-based life, but could this be drunk?
"Won't you try it out?" Lin Fang walked away and said, picking up the bottle from the box casually, "For example, Long live Jingtian Mountain." It is known as the 'nobility of the water' by some earthlings, who think that it is holy water and has a special status to drink. Actually, it's just ordinary water. β
Listening to him, many tourists are moved, the primitive customs of the aborigines? Water god worship?
In the end, they paid for a bottle of "holy water", mostly as a souvenir, and a few humanoid tourists took a sip, yes.
Another tourist took a photo and posted it to Moments: "This drink is called Jingtian Long Live Mountain, a kind of holy water on the earth, pure and delicious." β
After leaving the construction site, the next detachment action, the tourists freely choose to join the Lin Fang team or the Dongmotong bow team, and meet again at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
Lin Fang's team went to the bottom of an overpass, there were a lot of pedestrians, some mobile small stalls, one of the stalls stood a sign: "professional film, mobile phone, camera, laptop, package machine, high-priced recycling of mobile phone" There is also a sign next to the stall: "Ancestral film, all kinds of mobile phone film, everything, the price is fair"
The two middle-aged masters were concentrating on applying the film to their phones.
"Wrapping is a characteristic custom in the land of China." Lin Fang introduced to tourists, "Mobile phones without membranes almost do not exist. β
"Why?" An alien tourist asked, "Is there any reason for this?" "Everyone was quite puzzled, but this was a novelty.
"Well, yes." Lin Fang thought for a while, "To put it simply, we think that the film has the meaning of auspiciousness, longevity, and wealth. β
Oh! The tourists nodded suddenly, and then looked at the two film masters, who looked serious and meticulous craftsmen, amazing.
Are you sure? Wei Miao has to believe it, why does the film have what meanings? What's so special about membranes? He cast a questioning look at Lin Fang.
"We in China like to put good meanings on things." Lin Fang said, "There are a bunch of plants called the Fortune Tree alone. Okay, the film project, paste 50 pieces at a time, send it once for three times, and send it twice after ten times. Anyone want to post it? β
Tourists are scrambling to raise their hands, just two stalls, and they can't grab it after a while!
At the same time, when the Statue of Liberty arrived, visitors were amazed at the unique artistic style of holding a fat cat, which really represents the earth. They follow her through the streets and alleys, experiencing the life of a shoe-shiner, a homeless man, etc.
The two teams worked until 4 p.m. before meeting at the Bund in Shanghai.
"Today's last item." In front of the teleportation booth, Lin Fang announced to everyone, "Traffic jam. β
Wei Miao held up the bendable screen: [Traffic jam: Have you ever tried to be stuck on the road for hours and couldn't move? Do you wish you had a moment to stop and look at the scenery in your busy life? Charge per visitor per hour: 250 Earth Dollarsγ
"I want to participate!" "I want three hours!" Tourists are rushing again, rare, too rare.
Traffic jam? They haven't even sat on land vehicles, and the speedcars and airships have precise air traffic control, and the city's intelligent system will arrange the route properly. Here, the roads are messy, and they are all antique cars.
Lin Fang and Dongmo Tonggong were not disappointed, and the registration was full again, of course, the children were pulled by their parents to participate.
Dozens of buses have already been prepared, and since some of the tourists are large, some large flatbed trucks with guardrails and chairs are also ready. After the tourists got on the bus, the drivers stepped on the accelerator and set off immediately. And Lin Fang and the three of them followed in the sky in the whistler airship.
It didn't take long for the convoy to be stuffed on the inner ring elevated, and there were endless cars in front of and behind, left and right, and it was not a dream to be stuffed until midnight.
"Wow, traffic jams can really happen!"
"Everybody's stopped, it's amazing."
Alien tourists were amazed, looking out of the windows of the buses and directly from the vans. The smell of exhaust fumes wafted into the nose, the shouting of the owners, the beeping of the horns, and the-for-tat high beams...... All blended into the atmosphere of this pristine nature.
This feeling, of course, should also be taken and posted on Moments.
"I can finally get away from my busyness for a while, stop and look at the scenery and think about life. Thank you, traffic jams! β
"See, everyone stopped and enjoyed the traffic jam together, full of ritual."
"The first day on Earth was hard, but it was super rewarding! It's really worth it. β
