Chapter Twenty-Six: Respite, Gossip, and Eat
The boiled fish in the cone was ready, and it was sent by the spherical robot from before, and I think we haven't eaten in a long time.
The cone looked at the fish, his eyes straightened, and he jumped on the coffee table and ate it. I saw that he ate so deliciously, and suddenly felt hungry, and I couldn't pull my face to grab fish with the cat, so I had to endure it, and sat with Xiao Ai and waited for the two old ladies to cook, Xiao Ai is AI, and the body is a special material, so you shouldn't need to eat, right?
Thinking of this, I asked her, "Xiao Ai, you won't be hungry, will you?" But can you eat later? Will it affect your body? ”
Xiao Ai replied: "I can eat, my body material can perfectly simulate organic organisms, there are many ways to replenish energy, eating is also one of them, in order to better understand you humans, Billy assisted me in making such a body as a carrier, so I have experienced various human activities, all of which are a kind of learning." ”
The various activities of people... I've all experienced, well, I don't think of some applause and cheering, looking at such a perfect image of a girl, impeccable figure, for a while, a little bit of imagination, even a little forgot about hunger, just care about gluttony, it's really cheap, haha.
The cone probably saw the gradually obscene expression on my face, and said with some contempt: "Hmph, don't forget that people can synthesize different bodies, and they have experienced all kinds of activities, more than you think, one day she is interested, load a giant cannon for herself, and kill you!" ”
This disgusting and perverted cat is really a bad sight!
Xiao Ai said with a smile: "I don't think the fun of the two of you is too much, ordinary dirty." One thing I'm better than you is that you can experience it, but it's not addictive; Especially human beings, how much they have suffered in their desires, but they have never repented, you look at this light Tang Xing, isn't it also driven by desire, forcing himself to this point. ”
I was a little ashamed of her, and the filth in my mind was swept away, so I agreed a few times, looked out the window, eased my embarrassment, and suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked Xiao Ai: "Is it because their planet's rotation period is very short, or is their rotation just the opposite of ours, rotating from east to west?" When we came, I obviously felt that it was the morning sun, but the information I received here was almost dark. ”
Xiao Ai replied: "You finally reacted, neither the rotation period is short, nor the rotation direction is opposite to the earth, they have a day here about 30 hours of earth time, the volume is about 1.3 earths, gravity, air structure, etc. are very similar to the earth, and for living things, the indicators are more perfect." There is one thing that is completely opposite, and that is the direction of time. ”
"Time direction? What is that? "The cone is almost out of the way now, and I'm starting to have the leisure to listen to us.
"According to the sensory experience of your creatures in the fourth dimension, time is linear and unidirectional, irreversible, and flows forward every second, right?"
"yes, isn't it here?" I spoke in unison with the cone.
I then asked, "If time is going in the opposite direction to us, why don't we see the phenomenon of reversal?" It's like a video rewind. ”
"That kind of scene only exists in the rewind of the video, and the sensory experience is a mode of inertia, and it does not allow you to see the opposite world because the flow of time changes. For example, if you walk from A to B and then from B to A, you are walking forward normally, and you will not walk backwards when you go from B to A. Just as you increase height in a two-dimensional plane, time is nothing more than an increase in a dimension in three-dimensional space, and as long as you are in this four-dimensional world, the mere reversal of one dimension will not change your perceptual system, on the contrary, your senses will automatically adapt to this change of direction, and there may be a period of adaptation, but not for a long time. ”
"I see, I thought we were here long enough to have a chance to rejuvenate," said the cone. ”
Xiao Ai explained with a smile: "Of course not, in fact, it is like flying opposite each other on the same plane on the earth, and at the same time flying towards the international date line, the two of you will have a conflict in your time senses, but neither of you will look at each other is an upside-down state, as the two of you converge, and then continue to move in one direction, gradually your senses of time will be unified again." ”
It suddenly occurred to me that when I entered the door, Mrs. Mi had said that she felt that today's sunset was like the rising sun, could it be that this was not the direction of time they were used to? Hurriedly asked Xiao Ai if there was such a possibility, Xiao Ai said: "Probably not, they have lived here for at least a few decades, and they must have different feelings from us, perhaps, it's just that the old lady is dazzled." ”
It didn't help to think about it, so I said, "Well, we'll be out of here in 20 hours anyway, so it doesn't matter." By the way, Xiao Ai, you said before that the investigation team sent to the new third district may all be killed... There won't be two old ladies' children, right? The Xiaomi Xiaofan they just talked about seems to be heading to the new third district, and I don't feel very good. ”
Xiao Ai nodded: "Their children are indeed in the investigation team, and according to the information I have interviewed, they should have been killed." The last data returned by the suits connected to the system showed that the suit and spare suits had been damaged, and that the owner's vital signs had disappeared. With a high probability, the entire investigation team has been wiped out, and the information of Xiaomi and Xiaofan is also in it. ”
I looked at the cone, and we both felt a little embarrassed to sit in the house of the two old ladies at this time, alas, we were just passers-by, and we had to pretend not to know, hoping that they would learn the news later.
For a moment we sat in the living room and were silent, the human survival situation on this planet seemed to have reached a very bad point, and we didn't know how long they could hold out and whether they could find a better solution. Although as an external neutral, you will feel that the Qingtang Star people are somewhat self-inflicted, but it is still very cruel to fall on the specific person, especially such an ordinary family, which cannot help but make people feel emotional and sympathetic.
The two old ladies broke our silence with the food on the table, the dishes of Qingtang Xing are similar to ours, more like Western style, one per person on the plate, a large pot of soup in the middle with a spoon, the cone has just been eaten first, just sit on the side and look at us for a while, and look out the window for a while, I don't know the eating etiquette here, I am afraid of making any out-of-the-ordinary moves, so I follow Xiao Ai behind, watch her actions and then follow along. But it seems that I was thinking a little more, the whole process was very casual, no different from ours, plus it was a separate meal system, and we didn't talk during meals, so there was little interference with each other. The taste of the food here is slightly different from what I am used to, the entrance is crispy, it is very soft after a few chews, the seasoning is light, maybe it is the eating habits of the elderly, I have indeed been hungry for a long time, this meal is very comfortable, and I feel more energetic after eating.
After eating, it was already dark outside. Mrs. Mi summoned the robot through the panel of the dining table to take away the dishes, sat down to chat with us, and Mrs. Fan said that she was going upstairs for an activity and left. Xiao Ai told me that now Qingtang Xingren can't go out at will, because the blood beetle is at the peak of its activity at night, although it is blocked out of the human settlement, but in order to reduce unnecessary trouble, if you want to take a walk or something, you can do it at home through a similar treadmill plus holograms, Mrs. Fan probably doesn't like to deal with people like us with "status" more, and can't get rid of us, so she went to her own activities.
Mrs. Mi tactfully inquired about the specific task we came today, and also mentioned that they heard that there was a mysterious disappearance of residents of the gossip, Xiao Ai euphemistically said that it was not convenient to disclose, just said that it may be here for a short time, but don't care about our night rest, then we will do tasks in their backyard, try not to affect the normal work and rest of the two old ladies, and once again apologized for our visit, I am not good to interject next to her, I can only accompany her on the side to talk to each other, The cone simply slept regardless of it, which was his prerogative as a cat, especially in this special place.
