Chapter Ninety-Seven: Through Loneliness

Wang Xijia remembers that he had studied in textbooks before crossing over, and due to the plague in 2020, the tourism industry was hit hard, and it did not recover for many years.

So before his rebirth, even if he was a domineering president, Wang Xika did not set foot in the tourism industry. I am very interested in the story of opening a hotel on the moon in this novel.

He continued to read with interest, and this was measure 7, the crater

......

After visiting the fitness game hall, Wang Qianyuan asked Xiaomei to arrange a room for the second elder, but the second elder said that he didn't need to, he would go back today, saying that he was just coming to see, and there would be something later. Wang Qianyuan persuaded: "Uncle and aunt are here to travel, how can they play for a day and leave?"

The second elder just pushed hard and said that there was still something at home and he had to go back. Wang Qianyuan heard this as an excuse, the two old men have retired, what can they do? But it is inconvenient for the guests to stay, so they have to say: "Uncle and aunt have dinner and then leave, you are not in a hurry, you can visit the hotel room, give us advice, and then take you two to visit the lunar crater." ”

All hotel rooms in the human world are the same, nothing more than televisions and computers, beds and bathrooms, disposable slippers and towels, and toothpaste and soap that are too small to be smaller. It's just that the hotel room of Xingtu Travel Agency has a view of the moon outside, and you can use the remote control to make the wall transparent, so that you can enjoy the view outside the window in 360 degrees. Of course, these landscapes outside the window are also made by the computer with holographic projection, which is not a real scene, but ordinary people can't tell it.

Du Dad and Du Ma looked at the room, said a few kind words, and walked out of the hotel and followed Wang Qianyuan to visit the crater by boat. The crater can be said to be a major feature of the moon, there are not many other planets, craters are everywhere. Most of these mountains were formed by asteroid impacts, while others were formed by the moon's own lava eruptions. This time, the group went to Newton's crater, the deepest crater on the moon, located near the south pole of the moon. Newton Crater, one of the earliest tourist attractions to be developed on the Moon, was once prosperous for a while, but now it is deserted.

Several people stood at the top of the crater and looked down, and below was a deep hole with no end in sight. Wang Qianyuan said: "This is the abyss of the moon, the ancient German Nietzsche once said, when you stare into the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you." We can experience this feeling here, and there is also a bungee jumping program, you can jump into the abyss to feel the depth, uncle and aunt, do you want to try it? It's safe. ”

The uncle and aunt didn't seem to want to experiment with moon bungee jumping, so they went to the restaurant in the crater to eat. This restaurant is called the Yamaguchi Hotel, and it sells Chinese food. Now the moon is basically the off-season for tourists every day, so the restaurant here does not have many customers, but it seems as if it is a group of people chartered. The two old men said that they were too full at noon, and now they are still a little indigestible, so they can eat light at night, so they ordered the local specialty of the local dish of the ball, bitter gourd fried green pepper, and stewed rabbit brains and ate them.

Wang Qianyuan glanced at Xiaomei and asked Xiaomei to take out two gifts for the old man. What was given to Du's mother was a pair of golden woolen needles, and Du Jianguo's mother has always had a hobby of making handmade sweaters. The gift to Du's father was a bottle of Lafite in 1982, which is more than 2182 years old and is a good wine. Originally, Wang Qianyuan didn't want to give such a heavy gift, but because Dad Du spent 8888 to get a membership card with him, he didn't want to lose face.

Of course, Du Dad and Du Ma refused to accept gifts, but Wang Qianyuan insisted on giving them, looking like he would turn his face if you didn't accept gifts. Du Jianguo had no choice but to tug at the corners of his father's clothes and said, "You can accept it, if you don't accept it, it seems that the relationship between our two families is weak, and I will give a gift to the old man of his family when I go back." The second elder accepted it.

The emotions between people are so subtle, the Du family has a card in Xingtu, and Xingtu has given gifts to the two elders of the Du family, and the feelings between several people are more familiar, although they are already very familiar. A few people chatted while eating, and there was less politeness and more sincerity in their conversations.

Dad Du said with emotion: "Qianyuan, since I was a child, I have treated you as my own child, and I have the impression that you are still holding a telescope when you were a child, but I didn't expect it to be so big in a blink of an eye, and the years are not forgiving." We old people don't have any other ideas, I just hope that you and Jianguo can do well, the two of you are also not young, don't hang around all day, start a family as soon as possible, and let the family rest assured......"

Wang Qianyuan hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Okay uncle, I have written down everything you said, how do you feel about coming to the moon to play this time? Our travel agency has just opened, and if there is anything that is not done well, please give more opinions." ”

Dad Du looked at Du Jianguo, and Du Jianguo also said, "Yes, Dad, tell me your opinion." ”

Du Dad said: "I don't travel much, don't take it to heart if you don't say it well." ”

The two of them even said no, no, you just said.

Du Dad said: "Although I rarely travel, I still read the news a lot. It used to be very prosperous when there was a trip to the moon, but then it declined, do you know why the moon is declining?"

Du Jianguo said: "Because people are all looking for a new thing, at the beginning, there was only one alien tourist spot on the moon, and of course it was booming." Later, Mars, Jupiter, and Venus developed and the moon seemed boring. Now that the transportation is so developed, people like the new and hate the old, why do they still come to the moon?"

Dad Du asked, "In that case, why do you still come here to open a travel agency?"

Wang Qianyuan talked about the theory that 20 billion of the 30 billion people have never been to the extraterrestrial world, saying that his goal is to let the 20 billion people who don't like to travel to the moon travel, and said that his tour group is mainly for the elderly, and the market is still very broad.

Du Dad said: "The truth is that although it is now considered the era of great astronautics, the tourism of various planets and galaxies is in full swing. There are still settlements on many planets, but the planet with the most humans is still our home planet, Earth. Travel is a human instinct, but nostalgia is even more human instinct, I think you should make a fuss about nostalgia. ”

Wang Qianyuan asked, "How can you talk about this nostalgia?"

Du Dad said: "I'll talk about it casually, it's not necessarily right." Qianyuan: You just said that the target group is mainly the elderly, and I think that's very correct. But how attractive are those museums and video game rooms to the elderly? Where are you not equipped with those game games? You can play games at home, or you can just walk a few steps away from a game hall, why do you have to come to you? I think your travel agency is still a little interesting about the health care products and the crater project. ”

Du Jianguo was a little unhappy when he heard it, and felt that his father could find fault with everything he had done since he was a child, so he interrupted his father and said, "Dad, don't just talk, you can eat some food." ”

Du's father was talking about it, and he didn't pay attention to Du Jianguo at all. He continued: "I just said that I was nostalgic, I think you can make a fuss about it. I also said that the planets in the universe now still have the most people on the earth, so the moon is actually very promising to become the second most populated planet. Because the moon is the most familiar planet for human beings besides the earth, there are so many stories and legends related to the moon throughout the ages, it stands to reason that it should be very prosperous, and it really shouldn't be so desolate now. Nowadays, people are always too impatient, thinking about developing Jupiter when they develop the moon, and thinking about going to Mars after developing Jupiter, all of them are swarming. The bear broke corn, picked up sesame seeds and threw away watermelon......"

Wang Qianyuan asked: "Uncle, what you just said about making a fuss about the old days, can you be more specific?"

Du Dad said: "For example, have you heard the legend of Chang'e? Your hotel is called Guanghan Hotel, and Guanghan Palace is Chang'e's palace. But does your hotel have something to do with Chang'e? According to the old saying, Chang'e is a big IP, and it shouldn't be wasted. You can take advantage of it. In addition, there are many legends about the moon in foreign countries, such as seeing a full moon werewolf will appear in its original form, such as the braggart king Minhausen said that he has been to the moon. You can use these big IPs to make theme parks. ”

Du Ma also interjected: "And Ah Qianyuan, we elderly people like to dance a square dance, take a selfie or something." Like craters, you can do a square dance activity here, there is no need to do bungee jumping, how many elderly people like bungee jumping?"

Wang Qianyuan nodded yes, thinking that he could go back and let Xiaomei go to cosplay Chang'e. She has a good image, if she can dress up as a fairy Chang'e and take a photo with customers or something, it should be helpful to the business.

......

This novel made Wang Xijia more and more interested, and he remembered that he had read a legend that said that the moon was once part of the earth. 4.6 billion years ago, there was a moon about the size of Mars in Earth's orbit called Thea, and Thea later collided with the Earth and threw out a new celestial body, the Moon.

There have been many asteroid impacts on Earth, one that created the moon and the one that wiped out the dinosaurs.

Could the sinking of Atlantis also be related to the impact of an asteroid on Earth?

After thinking about it, Wang Xika gave up this idea again - if an asteroid really hits the earth, it will not only destroy Atlantis, but the whole world will be destroyed.

Looking at the appearance of this novel, it seems that the people in the story did not experience the world-destroying disaster in 2080, but directly in 2300. So, when was this novel written, and is the destruction of the whole world in 2080 true or false that Yuan Qingniu said?

This Yuan Qingniu has disappeared since he met him in Peach Blossom Town, where has he gone? Although Wang Xijia has a wife and children in this world, as well as brothers and friends, he always feels lonely, and no one can talk to him about the world before he crossed over. It would be nice to meet a few more traversers.
