Darkness appeared, and before that there was no darkness, only nothingness.

Nothingness is colorless, nothingness is nothing, there is darkness, at least it means that space appears.

Soon, there were some disturbances in the dark space, like a breeze that pierced everything, which was the feeling of time passing.

The previous nothingness had no time, and now time has appeared, like a melting glacier.

The appearance of light came after a long time, at first, as a bright spot without a shape, and after a long wait, the shape of the world was revealed.

The first thing that catches your eye is Moss's camera, hanging from the ceiling and staring at him tightly with the big eyes in the middle.

"Is it time?"

This period of time was shorter than Qiao Lu imagined in terms of physical feeling, and he thought that he would spend an unknown number of years in a dream, but he turned out to be a dreamless person.

When Jolu woke up, it felt as if he had just fallen asleep last night, but everything around him had left traces of time, and Moss's camera had changed to a different model.

"How long have I been asleep?" Qiao Lu got up from the sleep pod and asked.

Moss replied faithfully, "You've been dormant for 21932821 hours, which is about 2,500 years of human time." Welcome to a new era, Jolly. ”

This should be a touching news, but it will feel a little incredible. But for some reason, Qiao Lu's heart has no waves, and there is no real feeling.

Of course, this has to do with the fact that he is still in a state of mental retardation at the end of his hibernation, and he has not dreamed for a long time, but when he wakes up, he feels that he is still in a dream.

Qiao Lu slowly got up from the sleeping pod, and immediately saw 2B waiting next to her, although her appearance had not changed at all, she could still see the traces of the passage of time on her.

2B's clothes were old and a little torn, his white skin was covered with dust, and he looked like an abandoned puppet standing motionless by Qiao Lu's sleeping pod, and he didn't know how long he had been here.

Qiao Lu reached out to 2B, trying to wake her up. Unexpectedly, before he could speak, 2B suddenly clenched the weapon in his hand, and stood up with lightning speed, reflexively assuming a posture to meet the attack.

After completing this series of actions, 2B Fang fully came to his senses and found that the person in front of him was Qiao Lu.

She was completely stunned for a while, waiting for more than two thousand years, and now finally when Qiao Lu woke up, she originally had thousands of words to confide, but when the words came to her mouth, there were only three short words:

"You're awake."

"Hmm."

Qiao Lu found that 2B's body not only had traces of time, but also some of the damage was obviously caused by the battle.

"Someone broke in?" Qiao Lu asked suspiciously.

2B nodded silently, and only in this case would she step up to fight.

Moss explained the details on her behalf: "During your hibernation, there was a time when human society became very chaotic, and some people questioned that the Wandering Earth Project was a hoax, and that the coalition government had made up such lies in order to establish an autocratic rule. ”

"They claim that the coalition government is asking for the construction of 10,000 planetary engines, which is no different from the construction of the tombs of Qin Shi Huang and the construction of the pyramids by the Egyptian pharaohs. It's all about the lives of thousands of people to satisfy the meaningless perverted desires of a tyrant. ”

"Since the Wandering Earth Project was a thing of the past, the only people who could testify were the Transformers and the Parasitic Force, but the rebels believed that they were both tools of the coalition government, and did not recognize the status of mechanical life as equal to humans."

"So at that time, there were still many racial supremacists who joined the rebellion, they opposed the coalition government, anti-artificial intelligence, and all intelligent life forms other than humans, and demanded the use of cosmic law weapons to carry out a great cleansing of other civilizations in the universe, claiming that only in this way can the continuation of human civilization be guaranteed."

Sure enough, what Qiao Lu was most worried about at the beginning still happened, in such a long time, it is indeed a luxury to let human beings keep their sanity forever.

Moss continued: "At the height of the rebellion, even the Earth Wheelhouse fell. The rebels are trying to use Earth Cannon to destroy the Trisolaran civilization that has joined the One Ball One Way Project, and the Trisolarans were once enemies of humanity and should now be ethnically cleansed. ”

"As a former permanent representative of the coalition government, you are still a key person in saving the three-body civilization, and you are rightfully recognized as a traitor to mankind, and at the same time a brutal dictator, you should be responsible for all the people who died in the Wandering Earth project, and you are burdened with hundreds of millions of blood debts."

Qiao Lu not only felt a little funny, it was really hard to imagine what this group of rebels had distorted history into in order to put themselves on so many black pots.

The whole era has become like this, and I'm afraid that I will be unable to argue when I wake up.

"As you can see, the rebels once sent people to invade here, but fortunately their main target was the Earth Wheelhouse, and it was only a small force that invaded here, and 2B managed to repel them without causing more damage."

"And the rebels did not succeed in the end, and after the initial defeat, the coalition government quickly received support from other planes, and cooperated with the returning Wandering Earth Expeditionary Force to quickly recapture the Earth Wheelhouse and suppress the rebellion."

Since that incident, the coalition government has also rehabilitated all those who were falsely accused, and cited a large amount of evidence to restore the authenticity of the Wandering Earth project. This rebellion added an inglorious touch to history, but the wheels of history are still rolling forward. ”

After listening to this passage, Qiao Lu's mood couldn't help but become heavy, sure enough, the development of human civilization is not forever forward, and occasionally regression, even if it is only short-lived.

It seems that during his own hibernation, countless changes have indeed taken place. If you still count according to the Common Era, it is now after 4500 A.D., and there is really no way to imagine what will become of it.

"So what's become now?" Qiao Lu asked Moss.

Moss replied, "On that point, I hope you can see for yourself." As a reminder, you have a visitor waiting outside, please go and receive it as soon as possible. ”

"Visitors?"

Qiao Lu couldn't help but wonder what visitors would come to see him after 2,500 years.

In any case, Qiao Lu didn't expect to meet someone he knew in this era, and he could only know when he met.

"Let's go." He turned to 2B.

After 2,500 years of hibernation, Qiao Lu undoubtedly has an extra layer of intimacy with 2B who has always been by her side, especially after knowing that she protected herself in the rebellion.

"Hmm." 2B replied with his head down.

Qiao Lu silently took 2B's hand, facing the gradually opening door, and took the first step towards this new era.
