Some people say that after 2012, human civilization was destroyed, and the existing human beings only lived in the virtual field of advanced civilization.

It is also said that after 2012, humans perceived the passage of time on the earth at an accelerated rate......

The Mayan civilization predicted that humanity would never see the dawn again on December 21, 2012. The fact is that after the sun underwent a violent nuclear flash, an unknown spherical ark instantly approached the sun, ingesting a huge amount of solar energy, which seemed to prevent all earthly disasters from happening.

Three days before the apocalyptic catastrophe is approaching, that is, on December 18, 2012, Earth time, a festive wedding was held in Panlong Village in the eastern part of the East Henan Plain.

"Hello! Is Pan Tianyi's home here? ”

An American girl with blond hair and blue eyes followed Yang Zhou, walked through several streets in Panlong Village, and walked towards the crowd in the east of the village.

"Yes, Pan Tianyi's family lives here!" Guo Yang settled in Beijing with his parents more than ten years ago, and after his own hard study, he entered the Imperial Capital Aero Engine Institute; Now that he had grown into a tall and handsome young man, he looked at Nina standing in front of him, and Yang Zhou beside her, thinking that they must be Pan Tianyi's college classmates coming to the wedding banquet; Guo Yang showed a lovely smile at this time, enthusiastically handed a cigarette to Yang Zhou, and his demeanor seemed to be mixed with some unrelenting shyness of students, and said:

"I'm Guo Yang, Pan Tianyi's neighbor. Are you here for Brother Pan's wedding? ”

"As you said, you came to the wedding feast. Hello, I'm Yang Zhou, Pan Tianyi's college roommate! Yang Zhou was wearing a navy blue down jacket, and his slightly tired face was instantly refreshed.

"Fortunately, fortunately! I'll take you home and rest first! Guo Yang lifted the suitcase in Yang Zhou's hand and led Yang Zhou and his wife towards Pantianyi's old house. When he passed by a courtyard that had collapsed, he paused for a short time and said wistfully:

"When I was a child, Pan Tianyi and I were very good neighbors, we caught small fish in the pit together, and knelt down together in the Guandi Temple to pray for rain...... Now the village is different, and time has changed so much! ”

"Yes! The countryside does look a little older, but the pace of life is much slower than in the big cities, and living here is more enjoyable. ”

Yang Zhou heard Guo Yang's memories of the child's past, and a feeling of returning to nature surged in his heart. He looked up and looked around the village, and found that many of the houses in the east of the village had become depressed and dilapidated, but several new buildings had sprung up in the west of the village.

"Look, what a beautiful mushroom-shaped willow tree!"

Nana went to the countryside for the first time to experience the countryside, cheering and pointing ahead.

In the faint mist, a large stout willow tree stood alone on the edge of the pit, and it hung its head with joy, watching intently at the crowd in the blue-tiled red-brick courtyard.

"That's Pan Tianyi's home!" Guo Yang quickened his pace and walked towards the crowd, "Listen! The sound of firecrackers and suona is getting closer and closer, and the big sedan chair is about to be lifted to the door! ”

After a while, bursts of firecrackers crackled in the air, a bright red sedan chair stopped in front of Pan Tianyi's house, and the bride Han Yuting wore a white wedding dress, and stepped into the groom's house across the charcoal brazier with the support of Hong'er's sister.

Because Han Yuting is the bride of another province, it attracted the views of the whole village, men, women and children, and the whole courtyard was crowded with people.

The years are ruthless, and the rolling red dust does not know how many good memories have been diluted. I vaguely remembered that after the bride and groom toasted to the elders, Pan Tianyi and Han Yuting held a husband and wife kneeling ceremony.

At this time, the couple stands together and bows to the gods and ancestors at the offering table, and then they are performing husband and wife worship.

Pan Tianyi, who was dressed in a black suit, looked at the bride wearing a white wedding dress opposite, and said silently in his heart: "Thank you, Han Yuting!" You don't dislike poverty and still marry me, so that I will be fortunate for three lives! ”

"Brother Tian, what I fancy is your beautiful future development! It's also my happiness to be able to marry you......" Han Yuting faced west, staring at Pan Tian and comprehending, blinking her big eyes that seemed to be able to speak.

Two days later in the morning.

The warm winter sun shines through the wooden windows, illuminating the happy characters on the walls of the hall house very red. Bursts of vegetable-scented water vapor floated on the white plaster table, mixed with the sound of happy conversation in the air. Pan Tianyi and his wife, Guo Yang, Pan Xiaoliang and Yang Zhou and his wife were sitting around the square table and eating.

"I heard my father say that you stopped grad school in the last year, I don't know why you did this?" Yang Zhou frowned and asked in confusion.

Pan Tianyi gently drank a full wine glass and handed it to Yang Zhou, then looked at everyone, revealing a serious and cautious expression, "I have a prediction about the future of artificial intelligence, which will completely change the living conditions of human beings. So, I went to Huajiang Intelligent Heavy Industry Group and learned about modern AI technology. ”

At the same time, Pan Tianyi took out a photo of an alien mecha from his arms, which he took at a base in the Eastern Theater, and out of secrecy, he only let Yang Zhou peek at it alone and quickly put it back in his arms. This alarmed everyone's attention, and they all stared at Pan Tianyi's mysterious face.

"You say, are there gods in this world? Or ......"

Yang Zhou glanced at the humanoid mecha in the photo, and said in surprise and cautiously.

"Perhaps, the gods are aliens!"

Pan Tian thought that before, when Huaguo's fleet went to escort ships in the Gulf of Aden, they had found the remains of a ring-shaped structure on the seabed of Yemen, from which an alien-shaped mecha was salvaged.

At this time, Pan Xiaoliang's eldest son looked at Pan Tianyi and Yang Zhou with bright eyes, and immediately cheered: "Immortals are aliens!" Where are they, can you show me? ”

"When adults speak, how can children interject! Go out and set off firecrackers...... Play for yourself! ”

Pan Xiaoliang used a small spoon to serve the soup, feeding the youngest son who was about one year old in his arms, and looked at Yang Zhou embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I interrupted your conversation, my eldest son was taken by his grandmother, and he will take him to the temple to burn ......incense every New Year's holiday."

"Wow wow...... Grandma ...... "Pan Xiaoliang's eldest son seems to be crying."

"Your eldest son is so cute, and curiosity is in the nature of a child."

Han Yuting sat next to Nina and was gossiping about interesting things about living in China. When she saw Pan Xiaoliang's eldest son standing on the ground, Douda's tears almost fell. So he coaxed him, picked up a big chicken leg from the plate with chopsticks and put it in his hand, showing a sweet smile: "Little friend, don't cry, listen to your father, go play outside." ”

"Oh, go out and set off firecrackers......" In the courtyard of the Pantian family, bursts of firecrackers suddenly sounded.

"Guo Yang, tell me about your development and changes over the years." Pan Tianyi looked at Guo Yang, who was sitting next to Pan Xiaoliang, and said.

"There haven't been many changes over the years, unlike you all entered the research institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences." Guo Yang said calmly. "However, I recently heard Dean Deng Weiming say that for the needs of the motherland's lunar exploration project, we are preparing to secretly move west in accordance with the requirements of the organization in the Aerospace Engine Institute in the imperial capital."

"Huh...... Hearing you say that, the young people of our generation have been given a mysterious mission and duty! Yang Zhou looked at Guo Yang, looking at Pan Tianyi, and seemed to have a feeling.

"Haha...... Perhaps, we are all arranged by fate! Pan Tian wiped the black frame and said with deep meaning.

At this time, in the mottled and old courtyard, several firecrackers exploded. Suddenly caused a burst of palpitations in Pantian, he had a headache and dizziness and sat unsteadily, and the fragments of familiar memories came one after another:

On a strange blue planet, thousands of three-body spaceships fell from the sky, burned and exploded, and fell into the vast ocean like dense rain.......

Then, his eyes were pitch black, and a star ring like a "silver bracelet" was gradually enlarged, as if to light up the end of the darkness. As the shuttles approached, they came to the space city and saw hundreds of strangely shaped shuttles, being piloted by strange bugs...... A strange fear arose in his heart, so he looked panicked and asked the blue-haired girl beside him for help: Take me out of here......

"Brother Tian, what's wrong with you!" Seeing this, Han Yuting stepped forward to help Pan Tianyi with a worried look.

"Brother, didn't you toss for too long last night! I haven't rested well......" Pan Xiaoliang showed a thief's face and smiled secretly. At this time, a blank sweep swept over everyone's faces, and they unconsciously cast their concerned eyes on Pan Tianyi.

"Ahem...... I'll go outside to breathe, you eat first, and leave me alone! ”

At this time, Pan Tianyi looked at Han Yuting, who was blushing, and then faced everyone, and said apologetically. Then, taking a deep breath, he walked to the big willow tree behind the house.

Seeing this, Yang Zhou also followed Pan Tianyi to the big willow tree by the pit.

"Didn't you ask, are there immortals in this world?"

Pan Tianyi looked at the surface of the pond with thin ice, and brought up the topic just now. "I said he did, do you believe it?"

"Is the humanoid mecha in the photo really from alien technology?" Yang Zhou held the mottled and rough willow tree next to him with one hand, and once again showed an unbelievable look, "I thought the photo was made by you using the computer to photoshop." ”

"I remember when I was a child, our four children went to Guandi Temple to kneel and beg for rain, but it really rained heavily the next morning, and Guo Yang also knew about it!" Pan Tianyi did not directly answer Yang Zhou's question, and then continued: "Before going to university, I was desperate, and I went to Guandi Temple to make four more wishes, and they have almost come true one by one. Now he has entered the Chinese Academy of Sciences as a researcher in high-energy physics, realizing his third dream; And the fourth wish, perhaps, is that the time has not yet come and has not yet been fulfilled......"

"What is the fourth wish?"

Yang Zhou asked curiously, then thought for a moment and then asked, "What does this have to do with 'whether there are immortals'?" ”

"Hehe... The fourth wish is kept secret for the time being, how boring it is to say it! ”

Pan Tianyi's gaze shifted from the surface of the lake to Yang Zhou, "I remember that the old man in the temple once said, 'I will make my wishes'!" ”

"Yes, listen to your heart's call and act on it, and that's half the battle! Just like the wisdom of human civilization, with thoughts, there is also the glow of science and technology. We all live in the back garden of the gods, and our consciousness comes from their transmission, and it is the gods who guide human beings from the barbaric primitive into the wisdom circle of civilization. ”

Yang Zhou said excitedly, "Today, the dialogue between you and me has aroused ideological resonance, which is really commendable!" By the way, Brother Tian, what about your third wish? ”

"Haha, it's been realized, I just married a virtuous and beautiful wife!" Pan Tianyi showed a happy smile and couldn't help but laugh.

"Really!" Yang Zhou looked at Pan Tianyi, and there was a feeling of enlightenment.

"I have the answer in my heart, and the gods are hidden in the depths of each of our consciousness......"
