48 hours ago.

It was another hot morning, and Wing Xiaoxiao was 45 minutes later than his usual wake-up time. I don't know if it's because of the weather, or because of staying up late to read, the weight of the eyelids is so heavy that the eyeballs can't move, if it weren't for the fact that he had to get up to finish today's work, maybe he would have slept like this, let the time pass, he always does this in his free time.

He was assigned today as a recorder. Riding the unmanned bus commuter system, he came to the north of the city again, where the old and the new coexist.

In the food street, the antique store decoration, the shouting of the clerks wearing antique clothes along the street, and the fragrance in the air are like an invisible hand teasing every pedestrian in it, stimulating the nerves of the gourmets.

Walking around the food street, there is not much difference between the food street here and the food street in other places, except for tourists and diners, there are not many novelties to record.

Yi Xiaodian found a teahouse on the street, drank a cup of tea, blew a cool breeze, and listened to a few uncles sitting next to him talking.

"Eh, did you watch the news? A few days ago, there was a big news in Wuyuefeng City in the east, saying that a large spacecraft had been launched, which was the largest manned space vehicle in history, which could fit more than 300 people. ”

"Ah, I read the news. It's quite impressive, saying that only 65% of the construction progress of the main frame has been completed, and the rest will be assembled in space. It's so big, it's all built on Earth, and it's hard to get it to the sky! ”

"I heard this thing was going to Mars."

"What, Mars? The moon hasn't been cleaned up, so go to Mars? ”

"Huh~ You don't know, this is called strategic exploration, what is strategy? Looking at the long term is called strategy, the moon is so close, this is not a few years ago and went on again, brought dozens of people up to engage in construction, in the future, after the development, it is the forward base, what to go to Mars, Jupiter, or anything can start from there, and save money and convenience, our brothers may be able to go to the top for a tour! ”

"Dozens of people? When I was young, we would have to do a project, material transportation, command, structure laying, scheduling, etc., and it would take at least thousands of manpower to do it. What can dozens of people do? ”

"You old antique. Today's young people are not doing projects like we were back then, there were unmanned robots involved in the construction of the whole process, and one person rubbed a little bit on the tablet equipment and gave an order. Good guys, those dense iron lumps are scattered in all directions, what excavation, transportation, laying structures are all unmanned, the operators are looking at the screen, sitting on the recliner, drinking tea, blowing air conditioning, it is very relaxed, very comfortable! ”

"Oh, that's amazing, drink tea, drink tea~ hahahaha."

In the eyes of these ordinary people, the progress of technology has made a lot of work easier and simpler, saving a lot of manpower, but what are the people who have been saved, Yi Xiao drank two sips of tea, looked at the bamboo forest outside the window and fell into contemplation.

"It's really lively here, I can sit like this?" A woman asked.

"Ah, what? Oh, of course, of course, there's no one here, please take a seat. Xiao Dian was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he responded, looking at the woman in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little familiar.

"We meet again, and the world is so much smaller than we imagined." The woman said.

"Have we seen each other anywhere before, I'm sorry, I don't have a good memory." He didn't know how to react.

"Something, beauty?" The owner of the tea shop came over with a kettle.

"Jasmine tea, thank you."

"Well, wait a minute. A cup of jasmine tea, table seven~~~! The boss shouted to the guys backstage in a strong dialect and a loud Mandarin accent.

"Ah, you're really, you forgot about me so quickly. Do you still have an impression of the door that was opened for you that night?" the woman looked at him with a smile as she straightened her collar.

"Huh? It's you, you're the maid lady that day?! Today's dress is different, and I really didn't recognize it at once, haha...... Hahaha. Xiao Dian was slightly embarrassed.

"How's it going, where am I today?"

"It's pretty."

"Which style do you prefer me, maid or cheongsam?"

"I think it's all good-looking, the maid outfit is cuter, the cheongsam shows off your figure, and it also highlights your elegant temperament."

"Let you choose, which one do you choose?"

"I'll choose?"

"Your jasmine tea is here, please use it slowly!" After the boss put the tea on the table, he hummed a little song and twisted his kettle to the other table.

"Eh, I don't know what your name is, what do I call you?" Xiao Dian took a sip of tea, intending to divert the topic just now, he was really grateful in his heart for the boss's sudden appearance, so that he had time to take a breath, this kind of topic answer, he is not so good at it, especially with a beautiful woman who seems to be familiar with himself.

"My name is Wu Zixin. Just call me Purple Core. Purple ~ core ~ yo ~ " She held the upper part of the transparent long glass between the tips of her fingers, and gently took a sip of flower tea.

"Zixin, that's a nice name. Anyway, why are you free to come here today, are you on vacation? ”

"Yes, come here for a walk, eat delicious food and go shopping, I didn't expect to meet you here, it's really fate."

"It's a coincidence." Then fell into silence for a while, no one spoke, silently feeling the breeze blowing.

"Are you working today, look at the way you still carry the recording equipment, what have you gained, can you show me?" Wu Zixin took the initiative to break the silence.

"Ah, yes, just walked around here today. I haven't found anything worth documenting yet, but I still have some images and records from the past here that I can show you. With that, he opened the tablet and handed it to her.

"Eh, this is interesting, I saw this thing when I was a child, I miss it so much, I can't imagine that there are still people here who will do this! What is this, that's it, you tell me. As he spoke, Zixin took the opportunity to change from the seat facing him to sit next to Yixiaodian.

"Ah, this, this is a very traditional handicraft product, when communication was not developed before, people used this to convey their feelings of longing, which is made of bamboo and ............" I don't know if it's too close, Yi Xiaodian is a little nervous, this distance can clearly smell the fragrance of the woman's body, her hair from time to time movements, plus the cold texture of silk and the occasional touch and friction of the slightly hot body. His heart was pounding.

"Eh~ You really know a lot about these things, you must have done a lot of research and homework~" Zixin supported his cheeks with his left hand, tilted his head, and the tip of the index finger of his other hand gently slid on the tablet, his eyes scanning his eyes from time to time, a look of worship.

"Ah, haha, because of my work, I had the opportunity to walk around and see some new objects that aroused my curiosity, and I unconsciously learned more about the stories behind these objects. Don't keep talking about me, tell me about you, talk about your work or something? ”

"Are you interested?"

"A little curious. You should be working with Ouyang Zhengzong, right? ”

"Yes~ We are colleagues, working in the same department."

"Isn't he your leader?"

"Of course."

Yi Xiao was thoughtful.

"What are you usually busy with at work, can you say that?"

"Of course, I'm usually responsible for observing data and studying the behavior and psychology of users."

"Sounds amazing, you're a psychology major, huh?"

"That's what I did in graduate school."

"Hey~ Awesome, awesome."

Wu Zixin paused, looked at Yi Xiaodian, and then looked at the street and said, "Look at the people coming and going on this street, what do you think?" ”

Xiao Dian also looked at the street and said, "They are very laid-back and relaxed. ”

"Do you think they have anything to do with you?"

"What does it matter? What can it matter. They are them, I am me, close in front of me and yet far away. You suddenly asked this and I was a little confused, what do you want to tell me? ”

"Let's talk casually, relax, little brother."

"Oh, of course, you go on, Purple Core."

"Have you ever tried to look at the crowd and the things around you as abstract symbols or concepts, such as the crowd on a specific occasion, subjectively regarded as some cabbage turnips, or an event as a metaphor for life?"

Yi Xiaodian felt in his heart that the woman in front of him was a little special, he had rarely met a girl, and she was a person she had not known for a long time, talking about some very strange but interesting things. Of course, maybe he had too little contact with the opposite sex to come up with such an idea.

"It's an interesting proposal, I want to think about it...... These strangers on the street have nothing to do with me, but they have similar physiological and social attributes, and we can think of them as energy bars, just like the health in a video game. And the relationship and connection between people is a connecting line, a bit like the magnetic field emitted by a magnet, but there is a choice and direction. How about this? ”

"Energy bars and connecting lines, wow, this abstract symbol you came up with is very concise, very intuitive, and easy to understand."

"You're going to tell me a story, aren't you?"

"You're so smart. Using the model you just invented, let's talk about what I'm doing. As you just said, if you think of each individual in the crowd as an energy bar, they can be seen as a carrier of energy, a container. They are independent and isolated from each other, and only when two individuals are connected to each other do their energies begin to flow with each other, that is, they emit antennae like magnetic fields to influence each other.

But as you may also know, the energy flowing is directional and does not always have the desired good effect, and the energy can be constructive or destructive. ”

"It sounds like a human relationship. A good connection leads to a good constructive positive effect, while a bad connection brings a bad destructive negative impact. ”

"Exactly. The efficiency and quality of connections between individuals depend on the way energy flows and the adequacy of information acquisition. However, due to the different size, texture, and flow mode of each energy container, the quality and radiation range of the connection are not very stable and coordinated, and there will always be energy disturbances, which in turn will give rise to turbulence and cause destructive cycles. ”

"This is how incomprehension, contradictions, and conflicts between people breed, develop, and then erupt."

"Little brother, your brain is spinning very fast, and you can switch between abstract concepts and real phenomena without barriers."

"Mainly because you explain it well and are easy to understand."

"Hee-hee~ I continued, the development of productive forces is always inseparable from the effective use and liberation of energy, as well as the full connection of information. Now the scientific and technological development of our world has reached a critical point of milestones, and our human subjects, who carry and accommodate these, are not much different from our ancestors hundreds of years ago in terms of essential humanity and culture, and the discovery and evolution of humanities is very slow.

If we continue to develop further, the serious asymmetry between humanities and science and technology will sooner or later lead to a huge disaster. In order to balance the negative consequences of this development, and at the same time to better liberate our productive forces and continue to promote the development of science and technology within the safe range, the founding partners of our company have planned what can be called the greatest and most huge idea of this century: to connect all people to each other, to connect all intelligent machines with all people, and to build human society into a brain community with few disputes and conflicts that are efficiently connected, and to evolve together. As a community of new human beings, we will discover and explore everything in the world and the universe as far as our eyes can see. ”

When Yi Xiaodian heard this, he didn't speak, just stared at Wu Zixin, and his heart was stirring with something unknown, obviously having some resonance with this grand idea. The possibility and ambition to explore the boundaries of the world is exactly what he has always desired.

Wu Zixin didn't speak, paused for a few seconds, she observed Yi Xiaodian, although he didn't show obvious mood swings, but the woman's intuition still told her that yes, he was touched something.

"Wow, that's a big ambition and a vision! I only vaguely knew that you were working on a social software project for virtual experiences, but now after listening to you, I have to say, this is amazing! ”

"Due to the need for confidentiality, I can't say too much about the rest of the things, please understand~"

"Ah, understood, understood, trade secrets, hahahaha."

Zixin looked at the time, and then put on a small satchel and said goodbye to Yi Xiaodian: "I have some things next, I have to go, let's leave a contact information, this is my business card, remember to add me, I look forward to the next time I have the opportunity to meet you again, little brother Xiaodian~"

"Ah, okay, okay, if you have something to do, let's go and get busy first, it's a pleasure to chat with you, and I've gained a lot of knowledge. Looking forward to seeing you soon! ”

Xiaodian took the business card she handed over, this era business card this kind of thing continues to exist in a new form, it is a kind of bioelectronic products made of degradable materials, when the human hand touches the piece of paper, the microcurrent in the human body can stimulate the tiny circuit in the paper, and a solid color card will display characters. It reads the phone number and social software number of Wu Zixin, as well as her job information - Western Lighthouse City Data Technology Development Co., Ltd., Life Division, Researcher. Recently, people in their circle have been very fond of using this thing, a new form of retro fashion.

Zixin smiled, squeezed out two small dimples, winked at Yi Xiaodian playfully, and the two waved their hands separately.

On the way out, Wu Zixin seemed to be in a good mood. Walking in stride, with cat-like steps, twisting his body forward, his black smooth black wavy curls fluttered in the wind with the regular beat. On the street, her passing attracted the attention of the people around her, and the whole person exuded a seductive light.
