Tie of Peace Chapter 29 Meeting
"Are you okay?"
"You have to go there now! The farm is 25 km from here. β
"Meet Rod!"
The sound passed through Bai Fengyi's eardrums, but it didn't give him a clear vibration, but he could feel the most basic nervous responses, and what was happening in himself. His body was sent into a hovercar.
He felt like he was in the water, and then ...... Suddenly sober.
"Where am I?" Bai Fengyi opened his eyes, took a sharp breath and said.
"It's 7 o'clock in the morning and you've slept for about 25 minutes."
"How long is it left?"
"It's 5 minutes away, and you're awake in time." The driver answered him.
Bai Fengyi didn't ask anything more, he wanted to sort out what had happened during this time. At around 6 o'clock in the morning, Fang Chenxi woke him up by knocking on the door. Then I got dressed, was put in the car by her, and then came to the present. He remembers being conscious, able to talk and walk, but falling asleep when he got into the car, and it seemed that being awake was only a reaction from his body.
After the hovercar delivered Bai Fengyi to the designated place, he left, and only one robot received him. It is a bot that stops at the site. Bai Fengyi greeted it, and it could simply reply: Hello. But now it's not boring to joke with it.
"Do you know where Rhodes' house is?" Bai Fengyi looked at it, it didn't have a simulated human skin on it, and it didn't even have a face cover, but it looked a lot better than the robots that chased him before.
"Do you mean Farm 7? Please walk south and you can see it through the woods. The robot replied. Its voice is not as beautiful as that of humans, it is completely a patchwork of words from a database, clear and dull.
"Thank you." Bai Fengyi dropped a sentence and left, he didn't expect the robot to send him a map or reply with a word, but he was pitiful of its situation, and it was fixed there forever.
The road in the farm area is made of bee plywood, which is very much in harmony with nature in this place where there is no steel and iron skeleton. The bee plywood is wear-resistant and can be used to keep the sound of rain out on rainy days.
It was a beautiful day, with warm sunshine and fresh air, giving people a feeling that they had never experienced before. Bai Fengyi began to plan the direction of the future in his heart, he didn't have a big dream, so he could buy a farm here, and then run it well, and when he was not busy, he could come to Rhodes's house to have a fun and make trouble.
Before he knew it, Bai Fengyi walked to the gate of the farm, and he saw a little girl playing with her mother at the door of the house, and a little white dog picking up a branch in the distance, and then, they all noticed him. A sense of guilt arose in his heart, blaming himself for disturbing other people's lives.
The place was indeed Farm No. 7, with a common house and a large warehouse, surrounded by freshly sown wheat and other food crops.
Rod's wife invited him to the house, and they did not welcome the unknown visitor, and even chatted.
"You're here for Rod?"
"No, he's coming for me, though I don't know what's going on."
Rod's wife turned around and left the living room, looked outside, walked in again, and said with a smile, "He's coming back, you can sit down first." β
Bai Fengyi bowed, but after hearing the news, he seemed restless. He's about to meet the man who saved him, or rather, the man who caught him. At this time, Rod's wife brought tea and biscuits, and his daughter also looked at him from the side, and asked in a childish voice, "Big brother, are you here alone?" β
"yes, I'm here alone." Bai Fengyi smiled, he really had no resistance to a child, and bent down to ask her, "How old are you this year?" It's so cute! β
"6 years old." She posed "6" with her fingers, which couldn't help but make Bai Fengyi's eyebrows fly. Children at this age are too naΓ―ve.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of a helicopter.
This is an ancient flying vehicle, which is not commonly used now, because of the high noise and high danger, at the end of the 21st century, it was withdrawn from the stage of history. Bai Fengyi didn't expect to see him today.
Bai Fengyi walked out of the door, a civilian helicopter was flying not far ahead, and after waiting for a few minutes, it slowly landed in front of the house. The man who came out of it was Rhodes.
Bai Fengyi didn't know what to do, the two looked at each other for 1 second a few meters apart, and then Rod took the lead in speaking: "You are here, I received a message from Fang Chenxi last night." Your name is ...... Bai Fengyi, right? β
"Well, that's the name Dr. Fang gave me." Bai Fengyi watched him walk up, and an indescribable feeling suddenly came to his heart. Rhodes wears a gray shirt, blue jeans, and a pair of regular sneakers. He doesn't have the captaincy of the photo anymore.
"You sit as you like." Rod invited him into the house and asked, "You didn't have breakfast when you came so early, did you?" Would you like to join us if you don't mind? β
"Yes." Bai Fengyi smiled, but he was still very shy.
After breakfast, Rhodes drove him in an electric car to a place where the ruins of a 21st-century countryside, an unmanaged pond and dilapidated red brick houses were not protected by the state because they were not of great value.
"You know what? This pool is the whole universe. Rhodes stood on the shore, staring at the murky water.
Bai Fengyi walked up to him and said, "The universe is so big, how can this be compared to it?" β
"You're right, but in the eyes of microbes, this is the whole universe." Rod continued: "It is impossible for them to reach the boundary of the pool, and they cannot go beyond the water. β
"Why? As long as you work hard, even the smallest creatures can do it, right? β
"Really?" Rod turned his head to look at him and said the reason why he was brought here: "For so many years, I have always believed that my sister Luo Ming was not buried in space, and your appearance also proves my idea. But you have amnesia...... To be precise, it was my impatience that caused your amnesia! I can only talk to you now, and talk to you about my heart. β
Bai Fengyi didn't speak, just looked at Rod quietly. He could not and could not understand the pain of losing his family. He began to think about where he came from and what he really worth, but ...... Not everyone's coming into this world has meaning.
"Blame myself and humanity for curiosity!" Rhodes stooped down to pick up a pebble and threw it into the pond with all his might, and the splash of the jump was fleeting, leaving only a ripple of agitation. This reminded Rhodes of one thing.
"Do you understand dimensions? An indestructible barrier to modern physics. In my sister's time, it was the hottest academic activity, and countless scientists were fascinated by it. β
"It seems to be the basic quantity of the universe."
"Listen to me, if this pond is two-dimensional, then we are three-dimensional. The microbes in it cannot and cannot see how big the universe is, but we can see it clearly, and they can change its scale. Rod guessed that Bai Fengyi definitely didn't understand, this already involved the apex of advanced physics.
There are three moments in the history of mankind when physical theories exploded, namely the mid-20th century, the mid-21st century, and the late 22nd century. But as more and more physics knowledge is applied to life, people no longer care about the small discoveries.
"Why do you think I'm here? The universe is so big, and I have crossed such a long distance to come to Earth. Bai Fengyi watched the ripples on the water gradually disappear, and recounted the only question in his heart.
"I don't know, I thought about it for a long time before I finally convinced myself that you had nothing to do with the Pioneer Project. So many people didn't return, and you were the only one who came back in an escape pod, which is simply inexplicable. β
"I'll find my worth, even if I'm not."
"Have you ever thought about leaving the pond?" Rod asked, "If you were a microbe, would you ever think about leaving the water and going to three-dimensional space?" β
Bai Fengyi replied: "No, but I believe that human beings have a way to leave the three-dimensional space." β
"Maybe." Rhodes said, "Would you like to hear my sister's story?" β
"Okay, I'll be with you all day." Bai Fengyi replied innocently.
