1. Hello everyone, I'm from a strange place
"Dear judges, teachers, hello everyone, I am a scientific researcher from the M55 star cluster, my name on the earth is Gu Tao, I have been here for six years, and I want to bring you a song here."
"Stop, let me ask you, what do you mean by coming from the M55 cluster? Are young people so casual nowadays? β
"Oh, this one, I'll explain it to you. The M55 star cluster is located in the center of the Milky Way, belongs to a second-class civilization, and the Earth should be called the constellation Sagittarius, about 20,000 light-years away from the Earth. I arrived on Earth six years ago on a scientific mission, and then I was left here forever because of a malfunction in communication and positioning equipment. However, I like the earth very much, so I continue my scientific research career, and I hope to use music to closely combine the earth of the fifth civilization and the second civilization. β
The four judges all looked like they couldn't laugh, and one of the older judges waved his hand: "You go back first, we'll call you if there's news." β
"But teacher, I haven't sung yet."
"Get out!"
"Why don't you listen to me first...... Don't, don't do it. Gu Tao broke free from the clutches of the security guard, sighed and bowed to the judges: "I still hope that a few of you can listen to ......"
"Get out!"
Gu Tao, who was kicked out of the audition site, sat on the side of the road, it was already late autumn at the moment, and the temperature was a little low, but no matter how low the temperature was, it couldn't compare to the coldness in his heart.
"I'm going hungry." He looked up at a persimmon sticking out of the courtyard wall, and then opened his mouth wide.
After waiting for about half an hour, the persimmon had not fallen into his mouth, but he was almost hungry, so he had to stand up and return the way he came, holding his broken guitar.
He has been staying at a friend's house for half a year now. Strictly speaking, he has been moving from place to place, living here for a while today and there for a while tomorrow, and his current residence is the home of a dead fat mansion that he met in the underground passage, and he is the only one in the world who is convinced that Gu Tao is from the M55 star cluster.
"I'm back." Gu Tao opened the door and sat on the sofa dejectedly: "I failed again today." β
But as soon as he finished speaking, he found that the atmosphere today was not quite right, because there were a lot of things scattered on the ground, the dead fat man's favorite figure head and hand were separated and thrown to the ground, and the game console that he played together last night was also lying in the living room in pieces, and the whole room could be said to be a mess.
Just when he thought that the house was attacked by gangsters, a sharp voice came from the innermost room: "If you don't let your psychotic friend who says he's from RΓ©my Martin get out today, then we'll break up." β
"How can you do that? What's in his way of you? β
"What's in my way? That's a liar! I'm doing it for your good, and you're actually fierce to me? β
Gu Tao reacted at this time, this is the girlfriend of the dead fat house who came to lose her temper, and the root of the tantrum seems to be because of his own ......
He thought about it, tiptoed into the back room, and happened to see the scene of the confrontation between the dead fat man and his girlfriend, and he laughed out loud, because the dead fat man was now wearing a pair of pants, and the white fat on his body looked unique.
"Ah, Tingting. It's not RΓ©my Martin, it's the Sagittarius M55 cluster. β
"You're back?" The fat man glanced at his girlfriend, and then walked out with a forced smile: "How is today?" Did it work? β
Gu Tao glanced at the dead fat man with scratches on his face and his girlfriend behind him who was blocked by him but had a bad complexion, then nodded vigorously, and said excitedly: "Dude, you're going to be on fire!" β
"Really?" The dead fat man obviously didn't believe it, he knew how ugly this grandson's singing was: "Are the judges deaf or blind?" β
"You don't have faith in me? Don't talk nonsense with you, I cleaned up and was ready to move to the training center, and a judge said that he was optimistic about me and was ready to sign me directly. Gu Tao patted his chest and said, "When my buddy gets rich, the crayfish tube is enough, dodge and dodge, and I'll take something." β
Pushing the dead fat man aside, he walked into the house, smiled at the girl who was staring at him, put his small luggage into a backpack, and quickly put the bag on his back and walked out.
"Don't send it, get me some bread in the fridge." Gu Tao pointed to the refrigerator: "I want to take a long-distance bus to the provincial capital, and I don't have time to prepare." β
The dead fat man hurriedly moved everything out of the refrigerator, then put it in a plastic bag and handed it to Gu Tao, and when he stood at the door, he lowered his head and patted Gu Tao's shoulder: "Brother...... I'm sorry. β
Gu Tao didn't speak, just pinched his stomach: "Dude is going to be on fire." β
After saying that, he turned around and left, carrying a bag of clothes and a broken guitar, and he walked downstairs like this, leaving the place where he had lived for half a year.
As he walked down the road, he turned around and saw the fat dead man standing at the window looking at him, and he didn't care, just gave a kiss and strode away.
Of course, there are some things that everyone knows, a dead fat man is just fat, and he doesn't lose to anyone in terms of IQ, it's not that he doesn't know Gu Tao's singing skills, so he can be looked at, unless the judge is interested in his body.
Walking back to the persimmon tree, Gu Tao looked at the fully ripe persimmon and stood with his mouth open for a while, but this time the persimmon still did not fall, which really disappointed him.
But what made him even more uncomfortable than the persimmon not falling was that this time he had nowhere to go. There are still twelve dollars left on the body, and the rations are only a few ham sausages and a few pieces of hard bread, and it should be no problem to survive on these for three days, but ...... I'm afraid the days ahead will be a little difficult, so I can't come over every day and wait for the broken persimmon to fall into my mouth.
After eating a piece of bread on the side of the road, picking up a bottle of mineral water from the side of the road, catching some tap water, and drinking a good drink, he began to think about the future for the first time today......
"Hey, little girl, give me some money."
Gu Tao thought about it and felt that it was quite good to ask for food, but after all, he had no experience, so he had to reach out and ask for it. At this time, a little girl wearing a high school uniform passed by on the side of the road, pushing a bicycle with a sad face.
"I ...... I don't have any money. β
The little girl was startled by Gu Tao, and instinctively thought that she had met a bad person, so she spoke tremblingly.
"No money? I can't. Gu Tao touched his head: "In this way, your bicycle is broken?" I'll fix it for you, and you give me money. β
"Huh? That...... How much? β
"You look at it, one hundred and two hundred is not too much, and ten and twenty is not too little." Gu Tao said as he snatched the bicycle from his hand, and then actually took out a set of tools from his bag: "Look, I'm still professional in this business, right?" β
"Specialized...... Specialized. β
"That's a major, I'm the only genius in M55 who was admitted to Civic University at the age of fourteen." Gu Tao fiddled with the bicycle: "If the materials are enough, I'll put together a water drip shuttle for you." β
In a few words, the bicycle was already intact under his fiddling, Gu Tao rode it and tried it, and handed the car to the little girl with satisfaction: "Give money." β
"I ...... I'm only fifty. β
"And how much are you going to give?"
"How much do you want?"
"Now it's not a question of how much I want, it's a question of how much you're going to give." Gu Tao was angry and funny: "Why can't you understand the words?" No wonder you have been a fifth-class civilization for so many years. β
"That'...... Fifty is all for you. The little girl was frightened by his rumors: "It's really gone......"
Gu Tao thought about it, took fifty yuan in his hand, tilted his head to look at this little girl from high school, then took out a pen from his pocket and picked up a cigarette case on the side of the road and tore it open, and wrote a website on it: "If you encounter something that you can't solve in the future, come here to find me, I owe you a personal favor." β
"Oh...... Oh...... Good. β
After taking the cigarette case, the little girl stuffed it into her schoolbag, got on the car and ran away, while Gu Tao looked at her back as she fled in panic, and sighed silently: "Weak chicken." β
But after finishing speaking, he raised the fifty yuan in his hand and looked at the sky, then kissed it vigorously and said to himself: "The food money is here!" β
With the money, he first had a meal of Meimei, ordered fried chicken and sour plum soup, and spent a full forty yuan, and after eating, he found that it was already dark, and there was a faint tendency of heavy rain outside.
"Ah...... It's time to start thinking about life for the second time today. Gu Tao sat in his position and said to himself: "Where to live? β
His expression was very tangled, as if there were many choices, and finally he seemed to have made up his mind, gritted his teeth and stood up.
Braving the light rain, he got on the bus, came to the terminal and walked for fifteen minutes, almost soaking wet, before finally arriving in an abandoned bomb shelter.
Before I went in, I smelled a smell of urine at the entrance of the cave, and I couldn't tell whether it was animal urine or human urine anyway, anyway, it smelled bad.
He stood at the entrance of the cave for a while, covered his mouth and nose and slowly walked in.
The bomb shelter was very deep, and he kept walking into it, until he came to a place where there was almost no light, he suddenly raised his arm, and after pressing on the tattered electronic watch a few times, there was a sudden buzzing sound in the cave, and then the lights suddenly lit up all around, and the walls that were facing him slowly parted, and there was a strangely shaped spaceship inside, the spaceship looked very sci-fi, and it was as long as fifty meters.
"Welcome back, explorer."
The unique voice of artificial intelligence came from the spaceship, and then the hatch slowly opened, and there were fluorescent road signs on the road to guide Gu Tao to the spaceship.
When he came to the rest room, he went to the soft bed and said sadly, "I'm still back." β
"That's where you should be."
"Damn, it's not because of you!" Gu Tao suddenly pointed to the ceiling and scolded: "If you hadn't said to try FM connection, how could I have run aground in this broken place." It's been six years! Have you figured it out? β
"I apologize for this. But if there are no accidents, the home planet has already sent a rescue team and will arrive soon. There was shyness in the artificial intelligence's voice: "I'm so sorry.
"I'm not scared of the rescue team, I'm afraid that the home planet will treat this place as an aggressive civilization, you know?"
"Yes, but I've been sending harmless signals into space, and this shouldn't be a problem."
Speaking of this, Gu Tao suddenly thought of his teacher back then.
"The universe is deep, theoretically where there are stars, there is a possibility of life, and once life is born, then there is a great possibility that civilization will be born."
"Why should I learn about backward civilizations, they are still riding horses, what is the point of this kind of material?"
In the face of his question, the teacher beside him walked here with a serious face and said in a voice full of majesty: "Great civilizations were born from the wilderness, and according to DNA analysis, they are our closest race, aren't you curious at all?" β
"I'm not curious."
"You!" The teacher's face was flushed with anger and he pressed his head with a big hand: "Remember, we are not an aggressive civilization, our goal is to help all non-aggressive civilizations go to glory." β
"That'...... I have a question. He touched his chin: "What if it's an aggressive civilization?" β
"Destroy it."
"Hey, old man. Although you are my teacher, I also question your way of thinking, we are indeed a higher civilization, but who gives us the right to destroy other civilizations, whether aggressive civilizations or not. β
"Is it possible that if I choose to participate in a scientific expedition to this planet, I will be able to learn more about whether they are an aggressive civilization or not?" He actually understood that there were some things that could not be changed, such as the laws of the universe, so he silently swallowed what he wanted to say below.
"Theoretically, but I warn you that once you embark on this path, there are many dangers ahead, you can lose your life at any time, and even if you succeed, when you return, your world will be a strange thing to you."
"What does it matter? I was born to be a scientist. At that time, he smiled beautifully, his eyelashes were crooked, and his eyes were crooked: "I volunteered to participate in this civilization expedition." β
"Do you know the planet in detail?"
He stood up and said solemnly, "I will learn." β
The teacher smiled with emotion: "You have to remember your mission." β
Although he was not curious, he joined the exploration plan as a member of the preparatory expedition with an inexplicable sense of mission, and after studying the classification and appearance characteristics and cultural characteristics of the human race on the earth, he gave himself a name on the earth - Gu Tao.
Of course, the expedition to civilization is not a one-and-go trip, even with their technology it would take a long time to trek more than 20,000 light years, and even with the latest space technology, the journey would take more than a hundred years to complete.
The content of the scientific expedition is also divided into the process of social civilization, the degree of scientific and technological civilization, aggressive analysis and biodiversity investigation, so the general scientific expedition team will be composed of five people, and these five people are usually the elite of the elite selected by the whole world.
Therefore, the people who participated in this project were heroes with great determination, the oldest of them was a thirty-six-year-old military attachΓ©, responsible for preventing space pirates and ensuring the safety of scientific expedition members, and the youngest was fifteen-year-old Gu Tao.
Occasionally, in his sleep, he still often dreams that he has returned to a familiar place, continuing to be his genius with a sense of superiority.
"What are the odds that we'll go back?"
"If nothing happens, it's 1 in 33 million, and if the rescue team shows up, the probability will increase to 1 in 500. Also, could you please call me by my name? I am your partner and your assistant. β
"Get out." Gu Tao turned over: "You assistant, do you know how to cook?" Lao Tzu is going hungry. β
"I'm sorry, I won't. But with your knowledge and the equipment on board the Discovery, why did you get into such a mess? β
After hearing this, Gu Tao stood up with a bang, his face full of anger: "It's easy to learn bad, it's hard to learn, you correct your kernel logic for me as soon as possible, do you remember what we said when we set off?" Explorers are not allowed to interfere in the progress of other civilizations in any way! β
"Okay, please keep going hungry."
"Grass you grandma, I'm going to format you now!"
After scolding with an artificial intelligence for half an hour, Gu Tao finally calmed down, he said that he was also helpless, after all, the only one who could understand him now was this broken program, if it was really formatted, after losing the behavior pattern data over the years, this artificial intelligence that was the highest level even in the home planet could only be used as Siri.
"Alas, help me search all the job advertisements in this city, preferably the kind with food and accommodation." Gu Tao sat in the driver's seat and looked at the dashboard: "By the way, how much energy do you have left?" β
"Theoretically, if we don't time travel, my remaining energy can be used for three thousand years of full load of all equipment, can you use it with confidence, do you want me to help you activate the railgun or order all the Titan mechs to enter annihilation mode?"
"Wow......" Gu Tao covered his face: "Where did your war maniac's thinking come from!" Please, I don't want a railgun or a Titan, I want a job where I can eat well, we can't go back, we can't go back, little sister! β
"Theoretically, there's no going back, sorry."
"Yes, I can't go back, I want to live, I want to live! Hurry up and find me a job advertisement. β
"Do you want me to invade the weapons systems of all the nuclear powers in the world? Let's reshuffle the order of this world. β
Gu Tao stared blankly at the monitor in front of him, then silently opened a black box with his fingerprint, and then took out a metal plate.
"Formatted, yes or no"
"Twelve suitable jobs have been found for you, the nearest is 12 kilometers away from you, the longest is 35 kilometers away from you, two are in the catering industry, seven are in the construction industry, and the remaining ......"
Gu Tao silently put the metal plate back: "You, it's itchy skin." β
