When consciousness returned, the only feeling was cold, and although the warm wind could be felt on the surface of the body, it was really insignificant compared to the cold deep in the body. The heart was reluctantly urged by this insignificant heat, and it worked lazily, and the red river that had been stagnant for ten years began to surge......

Compared with the natural experience of hibernation technology like sleep in Qiao Yiyu's era, this backward hibernation on the earth can really be regarded as a kind of torture, and Han Le feels like a robot during the whole process, he can't do anything except consciousness itself at the beginning, and when the body gradually recovers heat, those parts are like being energized, and they return to the control of consciousness. It lasted for more than half an hour, and Han Le heard a metal collision sound from in front of him, and a light white bright block in the shape of a palm lit up in front of him, and there was a string of explanatory text on the side of the bright block: "Identity confirmation, press with your right hand." ”

Han Le noticed that the settings in the hibernation cabinet were a little different from his memory, remembering that when he came in from hibernation, there were no two pieces in the hibernation cabinet, and in his memory, the time display that had been on all the time had disappeared now, and these changes must have occurred during his hibernation. When he thought that when he was refrigerated here like a piece of frozen meat, someone was working beside him to pack these things, Han Le felt an indescribable sense of strangeness......

Han Le stretched out his right hand and pressed it on the button, and with the long-lost and unfamiliar touch coming from his palm, the door was gently removed, and the corridor light in front of him was a little dim, but it seemed to be sensitive, and then a soft white light lit up again. A person in a white coat who looked like a doctor appeared in the field of vision, and it turned out to be a beautiful woman! This is Han Le's first impression.

The beautiful doctor has an Asian face, but her hair is a little yellow, and there is a piece of glasses on the bridge of her nose that flashes characters and pictures, and her function is similar to that of a computer, and she seems to be looking up some information...... According to Han Le's English level of level 4 in 2007, he obviously didn't understand, but he roughly understood a few words: "from...... Late 20th century ...... Chinese? ”

However, the other party soon realized Han Le's language problem, and repeated it in standard Chinese: "You were really born 00 years ago?" ”

Han Le nodded, and at the same time tried to take his own steps, but this was not easy for a person who had just woken up, and the other party took the initiative to help him, carried him from the hibernation cabinet to the side of the bench and sat down, and said, "You wait." ”

Han Le opened his mouth, just about to ask her some questions, the hibernating person always had endless questions when he woke up, but the other party had already walked away. A few minutes later, the doctor came over with a wheelbarrow, took two metal-like objects from them, placed them on his legs, and showed him what they could do—similar to the exoskeletons that Han Le had seen on TV for the disabled or the military, which were used to help people walk.

A few minutes later, Han Le had learned to use this thing, that is, it was controlled by two fingers, which was similar to the feeling of mouse control, and the function of this thing was much stronger than he imagined, not only walking, but even running and jumping, but these functions were locked, and the beautiful doctor told him: "There were a few hibernators who played too much before, running and playing at the fastest speed, but they were not skilled and uncontrollable, and they actually hit the wall and died...... Because this one-person walking aid is too similar to the feeling of human walking, it will always make people forget its danger, it is not a human body after all. ”

"The development of science and technology is really changing with each passing day...... Han Le sighed a little, and then suddenly remembered one thing, "By the way, is it 2083?" Han Le remembered that before his hibernation was 2073, and the scheduled time to wake up was 10 years.

The doctor nodded, detailing the time: "May 5, 2073, 9 a.m." ”

Han Le subconsciously thought of Qiao Yiyu and Su Pei, he looked towards the two positions on the side of his hibernation cabinet, that was the hibernation position of Qiao Yiyu and Su Pei in his impression, among the hibernation cabinets densely arranged in the whole room, their hibernation cabinets were like a few drops of water in a pond, insignificant.

Han Le asked the doctor if he could help confirm the status of Qiao Yiyu and Su Pei, and the doctor shook his head with a smile: "According to the regulations, we can't reveal any information about hibernators. ”

"We're friends...... Han Le explained, "make an appointment with friends who hibernate together...... I want to check if they're awake now, and if not, I want to wake them up. ”

Many people naively make an appointment with their family, husband, and friends before hibernation to enjoy a better life in the future, but when they wake up, they often find how insignificant such an agreement is in the face of time. She just smiled professionally: "Do you have their hibernation mandate?" ”

Han Le didn't know what this was, and was a little dazed.

"We don't have the right to wake up hibernators without the authorization to respond." The doctor said it seriously, and after seeing that Han Le didn't seem to understand, he reminded him, "If you don't have a similar commission in the era of hibernation, you can also handle it now." ”

Han Le believed that if Qiao Yiyu and Su Pei woke up before him, they would definitely have something to leave for him, and he asked the doctor: "Can you find me a place to surf the Internet?" ”

"Surfing the Internet?" The doctor seemed a little surprised by the term, and quickly reacted, "Oh...... Of course, but according to the rules, I still have to do a psychological evaluation of you, come with me...... By the way, go slower. ”

The doctor's office was located in a place next to the hibernation area, and after entering the room, Han Le was a little surprised, it didn't look like a place to work, but like an ordinary person's home, the computer screen was on the table, a movie was playing inside, and there was a half-drunk coffee on the table, a little unfinished breakfast, and a medicine box with a red cross painted on it. When he first sat down, Han Le was still a little surprised, but when he thought that this was a hibernation area, and the doctor might only see a patient here for ten days and a half, he was relieved, besides, listening to this doctor's speech, it seemed that he was still a psychiatrist, so such an environment could not be more normal.

The beauty took off her coat to the side, sat down and drank all the coffee that was already cold, ate her breakfast in a few bites, looked up and smiled at Han Le: "Do you like to stare at people like this in that era?" ”

This sentence is really familiar, but now Han Le is a little better than in the past, not so red-faced, just shifted his gaze and said, "I didn't see anyone on the way here...... Isn't there usually no one in the hibernation area? ”

"Not necessarily......," said the doctor as he cleaned up the things on the table, "it can be busier on some holidays, Chinese New Year, Valentine's Day...... Many people will choose a similar day to wake up. What about you, did you make an appointment with the friends you told you to wake up today? ”

"No," Han Le shook his head, "I was thinking of waking up once in 10 years and seeing what had changed in the world." ”

"Oh," the doctor nodded, "and then continue hibernating?" ”

"Yes."

"That'...... Have you set yourself an end? For example, when will you decide to stop forever, stop at a certain era. ”

Han Le didn't think about this question, it was like a tourist who had just gotten on the departing train and was asked where his destination was...... "I don't know, I haven't thought about it yet." ”

"It seems that you are quite optimistic," the doctor laughed, "that the future is better than the past." ”

"Isn't that so?" Han Le asked rhetorically.

"That's right...... the doctor lifted his glasses, "let's talk about something within my scope of work, well, I'm a psychiatrist, did you just say that?" ”

Han Le also forgot to say that he hadn't said it, but he had this impression, so he nodded.

"By the rule, every hibernating person awakens to undergo a psychological evaluation, and the results of this evaluation determine when you will have full personal freedom in this world, you know?"

Han Le could understand this concept, it sounded like an assessment to be made when a criminal was released from prison, although he didn't mind, he still asked, "What is such an assessment...... Well, the purpose? It is to prevent crime...... Or ......"

"Oh...... No, no," the doctor waved his hand, "not what you think, it's not a restriction for you...... Well, as much as it may seem, trust me, this restriction is more of a protection for you guys......"

Even 60 years ago, in the era of bombardment of universal values, Han Le's sense of personal rights was very weak, let alone in this strange era, he was just more interested in what the doctor meant by protection.

"Hmm...... First of all, to answer my question, before hibernation, did you make any plans for the future, oh that is, in this era, or in other words, did you have any imagination for the future, especially the kind of things that you personally value......

Han Le didn't understand.

"For example," the doctor said, gesticulating, "let's say two friends you mentioned, you made an appointment to meet in the future, and if you now learn that they woke up early and are now missing, or worse, they are dead...... Or maybe you used to be rich and now you find your account empty......"

Han Le was a little furious when he was said, and asked, "Will this happen?" ”

"I'm just saying if, hypothetical," the doctor said, "but in hibernation, this kind of thing is not uncommon, so we need to make sure that you can be prepared, not just for bad things, but also for good things, you know?" ”

Han Le probably understood the meaning of this psychological assessment, and nodded: "I understand." ”

"So, tell me, what would you do if something happened to me just now?"

"I think I'll be very disappointed," Han Le said frankly, "but I shouldn't do stupid things." ”

The doctor looked at Han Le seriously for a while, then lowered his head again.

"You're pessimistic, but you're honest, which reassures me, and that you're from nearly a hundred years ago," said the doctor, "and I heard that you didn't have computers and telephones in your day?" ”

"When I was a child, I didn't," Han Le said, "and when I grew up, I had ...... Computers and phones, are there any more popular personal tools these days? ”

"No, are you disappointed? Maybe it's because the people who invented computers and mobile phones were so genius......"

As the doctor spoke, he turned the computer around, asked Han Le to press his fingerprint on a document displayed on the computer, and said while writing a psychological evaluation for him: "According to the regulations, we can't say much about this, you can go and see for yourself...... Whatever the problem, you can call me, as well as the numbers of others in the hibernation area. ”

While speaking, the doctor took out a brand-new mobile phone from the cabinet, handed it to Han Le, and made a basic explanation: "The contact information is all inside, this is fingerprint and pupil double recognition, you have to check your personal information, including account deposits, contact information...... You can use it to authenticate online, the website address has been saved in it, if your friend authorizes you, or leaves something, it is generally on it, if you can't find it on it, then it is impossible to find it elsewhere. ”

After saying this, the doctor shook his hand again, and a smile on his face was completely different from the professional face just now: "Finally, welcome to 2083, you are free now." You can call me Amy, there is a bar on the other side of the living area, I suggest you can go and relax in the evening, it is good for relieving the psychological symptoms of hibernation. ”

"I think I'm okay." Han Le said, "I didn't feel any symptoms. ”

"On the psychological level, no one is absolutely healthy, let alone hibernating people," the doctor's smile was very sunny, "We have a saying here, that from the moment you choose to hibernate, people have already begun to be perverted, don't think too much, this is a psychological level of 'perversion', not derogatory." ”
