Early the next morning, Qiao Yiyu was making breakfast, and Han Le sent a text message, Qiao Yiyu put down the shovel and took a look, the text message was very simple: "Come to the balcony." ”

Qiao Yiyu walked over in a few steps, stood on the balcony and looked down, and saw that Han Le drove an open-top sports car that was exactly the same as Zhu Yuxiang 35 years ago, and parked under the balcony, Han Le wore a pair of sunglasses, leaned against the car door, and when he saw Qiao Yiyu, he turned around and asked the driver Su Pei to honk the horn, and also greeted Qiao Yiyu.

Ten minutes later, Qiao Yiyu came downstairs and circled around the "BMW" car without a mark: "Just modified? ”

"Yes," Han Le nodded, "How is it?" ”

"It's pretty good," Ms. Qiao said, "but it's not very popular now." ”

"That's how I've been aesthetic in my life." Han Le smiled, most of the cars running on the street in this era seem to him to be similar to QQ and golf carts, and the taste of leisure is too strong - but he also knows that this is the general trend, with the progress of society, some things that were considered very important in the old era, such as clocks, bicycles, and computers in history, their status is also constantly decreasing, from being treated solemnly to becoming a symbol that is used to in life. The first computer Han Le saw was a serious case in a case, and once he drove it, the owner would care about whether the machine was running loudly, but now, walking on the street has more display screens than bricks - although he understands this, but subconsciously, Han Le still thinks that the car is a very serious tool, and when the sales manager of the car store asks him what kind of car he likes, he subconsciously thinks of sports cars.

Qiao Yiyu glanced at the driver's seat where Su Pei was sitting again, but didn't see the steering wheel: "Fully automatic?" ”

"It's not fully automatic, and it won't be sold to us," Su Pei said, "neither of us has a driver's license, and we don't know how to take the test." ”

"I've seen it on TV before, is it fast?" Qiao Yiyu sat in the car and asked.

"When there are few cars, you can drive, you can drive seventy or eighty, but if there are more, you can drive slowly." To be honest, both of them were scared on the way here, the car is fully autonomous, and the only command a person can give is to stop and drive, and it is not immediate, the car automatically looks for the nearest parking spot. But fortunately, the "technology" of this car is not bad, and it did not cause them trouble.

"How do you think of buying a car?" Qiao Yiyu glanced at Han Le.

"I saw an unmanned car on the Internet, so I went to buy it and try it, I watched a TV called 'Thunderbolt Ranger' when I was a child, and there was a car in it that was intelligent, could drive autonomously, and could talk to people," Speaking of this, Han Le was a little disappointed, "but there is a bit of a gap with what I imagined." ”

In fact, this so-called fully automatic car can only pass in most areas of the city, and the driving process is also quite rigid, if you encounter a pedestrian standing in the middle of the road on the road, it will maintain a slow turtle speed to move over, and on some small roads it is even slower than walking, and several times in the middle because of the bad signal and "turn off". Not to mention talking to people, the only words that can be understood are driving, stopping, going home, or other instructions like "go to place A, go to place B", of course, the premise is that the destination must have a special parking space, and there can be no big accidents on the road, otherwise it is likely to break down at which intersection - fortunately, the car seller told them that all the consequences caused by this kind of accident are borne by the manufacturer, otherwise Han Le really doesn't dare to buy it, what if he hits someone at which intersection.

"What are you looking for me for? Are you tired of your rich life so quickly? Qiao Yiyu remembered that Han Le was on the way to the hotel yesterday and told her that she would be drunk and dream of dying for a month.

"Actually, it's not interesting," Han Le shook his head and asked Qiao Yiyu, "Do you know Liu Yi?" ”

"I've heard about it on the news."

"I went to take a helicopter the night before yesterday, and it was the plane he flew," Mr. Han said, "and I met again in the hotel pool last night." ”

"Huh?" Qiao Yiyu looked at Han Le and didn't understand why he was saying this.

"Yesterday I asked him what the rich people here like to do, and Liu Yi mentioned to me a scientific research foundation," Han Le tried to calm his tone as much as possible, instead of almost screaming out in surprise like last night, "Many rich people have invested money in it, and he said that this is mainly a foundation that studies cryonics in medicine, in addition to researching direct freezing of the human body, it also accepts services such as stem cell preservation and organ storage, and it is said that it can also *...... Do you know this? ”

Qiao Yiyu shook his head: "I haven't heard of it...... I've been subscribing to several cutting-edge medical journals and don't seem to mention any progress in these directions...... Moreover, the content of these studies is illegal in many countries. ”

"Yes, Lewy said the same, but he mentioned that he had been to that island and had seen with his own eyes the recovery process of an experimental pig that had been frozen for three years."

Qiao Yiyu was obviously interested in this news, because hibernation technology is of great historical significance, and many opinions even believe that it is more important than the commercialization of nuclear fusion electricity, and if such an organization really exists, then there is a lot that can be mined: "Did he mention how to contact them?" ”

"Not really." Han Le shook his head, at that time he also wanted to ask how to join, but Liu Yi mentioned that this organization takes the initiative to contact other members, does not accept any form of application, and does not accept the recommendation of members of the organization - this is naturally for confidentiality. At that time, Leoy also warned him not to get too close to these organizations, because he had heard some very extreme statements from the founders of these organizations, many of whom were extreme liberals and had a strong tendency towards technocracy, and Leoy mentioned that one of the craziest ideas he thought was to create a machine-based life-sustaining civilization that was completely separated from the poor.

"The poor people he said shouldn't be the poverty you understand," after listening to Han Le, Qiao Yiyu didn't think it was very strange, "This is an Internet term, more to refer to a way of life...... There are a lot of similar remarks on the Internet, and they are actually an extension of the phenomenon of your home at that time......"

As soon as Qiao Yiyu finished speaking, Han Le subconsciously thought of the bet he made with Su Pei when he went out together last night, as well as the two people who talked to him, Han Le was a little puzzled: "Are people living like this now?" ”

"The more advanced information technology is, the less motivated people are to go out of the house and communicate with other people, and their lives will be relatively closed and independent...... This social phenomenon has been discussed all over the world for more than ten years, and some people think that it is a characteristic of the times, a sign of social progress, and some people think that it is a pathology. Many opponents call this kind of person poor, because the word poor means that the power is under the hole, and the power cannot be used, and poverty also has the meaning of the end, saying that if people choose this way of life, life will be no different from the end. ”

Of course, Han Le felt that such a statement was excessive: "This should be just a personality reason, I just feel that it is troublesome to go out...... And the online world is no worse than the real world. ”

Su Pei heard some information from Qiao Yiyu's words: "No wonder I said that now that the world's population exceeds 8.5 billion, there are not many people on the street, and all the feelings stay at home, they don't have to work?" ”

"If you use the economic definition of your time, the current economic situation is not optimistic, the average unemployment rate is more than 30 percent, unemployment is the norm in some countries and even the younger generation," Qiao Yiyu said, "but correspondingly, social subsidies have also increased accordingly...... In general, developed countries are more secure, but the employment rate is low, but in developing countries the employment rate is high, and there is never a shortage of jobs, it is just a question of whether they are willing to do it......"

"Then according to you, many people in China can't eat?"

Qiao Yiyu glanced at Su Pei: "China is now counted among the developed countries. ”

Seeing Su Pei's mouth wide open, Qiao Yiyu added: "Most countries in the world have already stepped into this threshold...... And according to the latest estimates, in another 20 years, there may be no so-called developing countries on the planet. ”

"And to what extent are the most developed countries now?" Han Le finally realized something from Qiao Yiyu's words, and asked, "Why do you have to build a moon base?" ”

Qiao Yiyu shook his head: "Space technology has not been developed much, and the current rocket launch technology is not much different from 35 years ago, it is still mainly based on chemical propulsion, and it is said that there have been more efficient particle rocket engines, but I don't know why they have not been put into use." Perhaps because in the last decade or so, most of the world's attention has focused on the legislation of artificial floating islands and the development of Antarctica. Since the commercialization of nuclear fusion began, there have been some voices mentioning going to the moon to dig helium-3, but now the governments of the earth are not even divided between several islands and a continent, let alone the moon. ”

The last sentence of Qiao Yiyu's words inadvertently expressed contempt made Han Le feel a little uncomfortable, but what she said was also the truth, not so much that the diplomatic work of these governments was not done at home, but that it was simply a characteristic of people - people will always be afraid of the future that they can't see, even if it is close at hand, and tend to compete in the environment they are familiar with, in reality, the results of this kind of zero-sum game competition are often not very good, in the past, everyone agreed that they could not develop, but now because of the rise in sea level, Many countries are inundated – and this agreement naturally has loopholes.

But what does this have to do with you? Han Le laughed at himself, he was just a passerby in this era.

"Is that Leo Yi still in the hotel?"

"It should still be there, he said that he has received a few customers here in the past few days," Han Le looked at Qiao Yiyu's face, a little surprised, "You don't really want to ask him about that organization, do you?" ”

"That's right," Qiao Yiyu didn't hide what the two meant, "Take me there." ”

……

Celebrities in this era are not as difficult to see as imagined, maybe because the last chat was quite happy, Han Le asked the other party out with a phone call, and the other party showed surprise when he saw Qiao Yiyu in the café, and then asked her: "Do you know Han Yu?" ”

Korean? Han Le was a little confused by Liu Yi's question, and turned his eyes to look at Qiao Yiyu, who gave Han Le a sweet smile - this smile appeared when Han Le pretended to be Qiao Yiyu's boyfriend before, and Han Le certainly understood that this was implying that he was pretending to be stupid.

"I don't know," Qiao Yiyu denied, "Who is Han Yu?" ”

Liu Yi was a little unconvinced, stared at Qiao Yiyu carefully for a while, but finally gave up, and finally asked people to go to the bar to get a CD, pointing to a woman on the CD box who was almost exactly the same as Qiao Yiyu, and sighed with some emotion: "A character from decades ago, she released a guitar CD, which is very good." ”

Han Le's heart was full of surprise, and when he took the CD case, he understood that the character on it must be Qiao Yiyu himself, to be honest, this is much more shocking than when he heard Qiao Yiyu say how much money she made - in fact, an album is nothing at all, but looking at Qiao Yiyu on plastic paper with long hair and holding a guitar, Han Le still couldn't help but lose his mind - how many beautiful scenery he missed.

But then when he thought of the meaning of Han Yu's pseudonym, Han Le couldn't help but be happy - it seemed that his meaning to Qiao Yiyu was not just a stranger.

"I'm here to ask you about hibernation, I just heard Han Le mention it, do you have a mature hibernation technique now?"

Liu Yi glanced at Han Le and Su Pei, and seemed to blame them for saying this easily, and their mouths were inevitably faster, but this is not a big deal, and they generally care about this kind of organization is either a human rights organization or an ethics association, and the relevant state departments can't control it - the island that Liu Yi said is actually a desert island around Bermuda, and the organization mentioned was initiated by some financial people registered locally, and the main purpose at the beginning was very simple, that is, a group of rich people had too much money and were reluctant to die, If you want to live longer by technology, and as far as the science of mankind knew it at the time, there was no easier and more immediate way to do it than hibernation.

"In fact, what they do is no better than mainstream medicine," Liu Yi saw that Qiao Yiyu listened carefully, and persuaded her, "It's just that they have achieved accidental success in some animal experiments, and there are more examples of failure, and the reasons are unknown...... In fact, in some regular pet hospitals, there have been such successful precedents, the owner goes to the hospital to freeze the pet, and after a few years of thawing, the pet is still alive. However, these experiments have not been able to be accurately repeated. The so-called hibernation is actually more of a gimmick......"

"I know," Qiao Yiyu said, "I just think these people are quite interesting, and I want to learn about them." ”

Liu Yi waved his hand: "I've only been invited once, so I can't talk about it...... If you really want to contact these people, there are only two ways, either you can make more money, talk more about these topics in public, and if they notice it, they may come and invite you, or you can go directly to Bermuda to find them and say ...... to their faces" When he said this, Liu Yi shrugged his shoulders, and the meaning of this action could not be clearer - it is not recommended for Qiao Yiyu to do this, no one knows what these people will do to her.

Qiao Yiyu didn't care, just smiled lightly: "I know, thank you." ”

The food in the hotel was good, and after eating, at the invitation of Han Le, several people went to swim in the swimming pool in the hotel together. Han Le had already come once yesterday, he was a landlubber, so he wore a swimsuit and lay on the side to watch the beauties, and finally hung a swimming ring like a bath and went in to flutter.

Qiao Yiyu, who has changed into a swimsuit, is very eye-catching, with a well-proportioned and tall figure, this image reminds Han Le of what he looked like when he first saw her, at that time he subconsciously thought that Qiao Yiyu was a gymnastics, and now it seems that she does have a body of the same standard as an athlete, and the most important thing is this temperament, she is not stage frightened at all, facing the eyes of most men in the swimming pool, she behaves very generously and decently. I did a few stretches by the pool, and with a light jump, I slid into the water like a dolphin without even making a splash.

Han Le also wanted to go to the staff to borrow a swimming ring, but was greeted by Qiao Yiyu: "Han Le, I'll teach you." ”

"It's not good." Han Le was a little embarrassed, but he went down anyway.

Su Pei and Liu Yi looked like good swimmers, and when Han Le was still choking there, the two of them put on swimming goggles and began to dive there.

Han Le remembered that he took swimming lessons once in college, and his deepest impression of swimming was the slightly cool smell of disinfectant water, as well as the scenery of a large area of white flowers in the girls' area, which was honestly not very beautiful, but today is obviously different, the pool water here is all overheated, and it may not be a problem to drink it directly, and the most important thing is that Qiao Yiyu is beside him to guide his movements.

Ten minutes later, Han Le touched his stomach, frowned and said, "Take a break, I can't drink anymore." ”

Qiao Yiyu laughed: "You can't let go too much, your movements are very stiff." ”

Can you not be stiff...... There is one place where it is even more ......

"How did you go about singing? Also released an album. When he sat down, Han Le frowned and looked at the drink sent by the waiter, and asked Qiao Yiyu. Qiao Yiyu gave him the impression that he has always paid attention to the confidentiality of his identity, and the difference between him and the album is too big.

"I'm going to say I was poor and had no money, can you believe me?"

Han Leleng paused for a moment, but immediately remembered that Qiao Yiyu had said that the bubble tea shop failed, thinking that she must have been financially unsatisfactory during that time, he opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Qiao Yiyu: "I know what you want to say...... It's not that I don't want to spend your money, which I've always used as a last resort, and playing the guitar is my hobby. ”

"I think you've been ......" Han Le didn't know what to say, and hesitated for a long time, "It's been too clear, which gives me the feeling that you are ready to break up with me at any time." ”

Qiao Yiyu didn't speak, just stared at the water in a daze, and after a while, he slowly said, "I do think so...... It's a bad habit, and I learned it when I came here. ”
