16 Interludes
"We will ask professionals to design and construct, not DIY by hand." Qiao Yiyu explained.
"As long as it can be guaranteed technically, there shouldn't be much of a problem...... By the way, why would you want to make your own hibernation spot? After all, the future is constantly changing, and you never know what you need when you wake up, or what the world has in store for you. β
"Maybe there will be surprises," Qiao Yiyu smiled, "Maybe it's fright, I prefer to wake up in a familiar environment than such uncertainty...... As for what the world has in store for me at that time, I can turn on the computer and get used to it slowly. β
The lawyer shook his head lightly and did not continue on this topic, in his opinion, although Qiao Yiyu was young, his ideas were surprisingly conservative and stubborn, considering that the other party was a hibernator person, it made sense.
The specific terms of the contract, the lawyer expected it to take a week, Qiao Yiyu doubled the price, this time was shortened to five days, when Han Le got up and was about to leave, the lawyer mentioned again: "Miss Qiao, I don't know what I said about the agent before......
Qiao Yiyu shook her head: "No need, I don't want me to wake up every time because of bad things." β
After going out, the elevator hadn't come yet, Han Le and Qiao Yiyu coincidentally planned to take the stairs once, the height of more than a dozen floors was not short, but it was not long. When he stepped on the stairs all the way downstairs, Han Le asked curiously: "The agent he said means that there is someone outside who can wake us up at any time." β
"Yes," Qiao Yiyu said, "now many rich people have begun to hire their own agents, but ......"
Qiao Yiyu sneered: "Because for the rich, the cost of hibernation is almost negligible, so if there is something to do, they will be woken up." In fact, I think that kind of people are the most pitiful, they originally hibernate to go to the possible future to live a good life, but they end up piling up all the bad things that they may not experience in a few lifetimes...... There is a limit on stocks, a policy change, or a great investment opportunity...... As soon as it's the slightest bit of a big deal, they'll be revived and racked their brains to deal with it...... At that frequency, you might be woken up dozens of times during your first hibernation. β
Han Le also probably understood: "That's really a crime." "Maybe after a few times like this, people are about to become nervous - every time they wake up, it's a bad thing, this life is so aggrieved, it's like an Ultraman-like existence - it's rare to come to Earth for three minutes, and all you see are monsters.
"At the beginning of the 21st century, the gap between the rich and the poor was not as huge as it is now...... But now it's too far away, and the most important thing is that the channel from poor to rich has narrowed and almost non-existent, you look at the Internet now, in recent years, there have been fewer and fewer myths about entrepreneurship. β
Han Le really didn't care about this topic, he was a little surprised, and of course he was a little skeptical: "No, I saw on the Internet that almost everyone has their own website...... The cost of starting a business should be low in this era. Han Le still remembers the Taobao online store in his time, as long as anyone with a little money can do a small business, and there are many of them.
"Online Shop ...... In this era, it is no longer considered a business, almost everyone does this," Qiao Yiyu said, "Most of the online stores in this era sell literary and artistic products, sing a song by yourself, make a movie or something...... There are also people who have made a fortune, but the biggest difference from the past is that in the past, people had money and had nowhere to spend, so they would want to do something to make more money, and now people want to hibernate when they have money, and as a result, building hibernation areas has become the hottest economic industry in the world. β
Or hibernation...... Han Le has nothing to say this time, this has become an unavoidable dead festival.
Han Le and they live in a local hotel, in order to show respect for customers, this hotel has a special vehicle to pick up and drop off, unified use of manual driving, this service in this era, is undoubtedly classical and luxurious. Probably because he hadn't exercised for a long time, Han Le was a little out of breath when he walked out of the door of the building, and the driver saw the two of them, took the initiative to drive the car over, and came out to symbolically open the door for the two of them - although this is not necessary, because in this era, car doors are automatically inducted.
Han Le had just gotten into the car, and suddenly found that the body shook a little, and then it was obviously shorter, at this time Qiao Yiyu said outside: "Han Le, come out." β
After coming out, Han Le found that the driver was taking pictures of the car tires with his mobile phone with an angry face, and the tires were fine when he came, but now the four of them are deflated, obviously the shaking just now is that the tires were deflated. At the edge of each tire, there are several small, thin transparent metal tubes that look like steel needles, but hollow in the middle.
"It's these bastards again!" When Han Le came, he didn't pay attention, the driver turned out to be a Chinese, and his mouth was a long-lost national scolding! After scolding, he took out his mobile phone to call the police, and at the same time did not forget to take pictures of the physical evidence.
"Who is it?" Qiao Yiyu asked.
"A group of little kids who have a life and no one to teach," the driver was obviously a little angry, but still apologized to the two of them, "This is the fifth time this month, and more than 20 tires have been changed in the tire hotel alone, and solid tires are almost used!" β
In just about a few minutes, the police arrived, and unexpectedly brought four or five perpetrators, all of whom looked to be teenagers of fifteen or sixteen, and two of them had a short, gun-like improvised launcher in their hands. The police took this thing and skillfully disassembled the "magazine", and there were a lot of ammunition in it, all of which were small metal tubes that were exactly the same as those on the tires.
These people seem to be habitual offenders, and when they were brought over by the police, they were still full of indifference, and two of the slightly older ones were still presumptuously scanning Qiao Yiyu up and down with their eyes, whistling lightly.
One of the three policemen who brought them over was a female policeman, who still looked like a chief, and ordered them: "Apologize to this lady and gentleman, sincerely." β
A few bear children didn't bird her.
The policewoman took out a string of things from her hands and shook them in front of them - that thing Han Le remembered, it was he who woke up in the hospital
After that action, I saw an electric ring that was specially designed to bind the prisoners.
"If you still have no remorse, I have the right to wear these bracelets for you now, and believe me, wearing them is much more uncomfortable than going to prison!"
The policewoman's threat was effective, and the children reluctantly restrained their expressions, and whispered: "I'm sorry, we're just playing a game......" There is still a long way to go from sincerity.
Qiao Yiyu wanted to forget it, but the driver couldn't hold it back: "Will you still make up individual reasons, play games, play games, and you will always aim at my car and these four tires?" Do you want to take a look at your masterpieces again......" The driver waved his phone and put the photos on the maximum for everyone to see.
The female police officer also knew that what the driver said was true, and she couldn't guarantee that the children would have a next time. She could only keep a straight face, open the video of the law enforcement surveillance camera in front of several people, and solemnly ask them: "I want you to make a guarantee that there will be no similar situation again." β
A few children were assured, but Qiao Yiyu looked at their looks, and the effect was difficult to say.
"Why are you shooting the tires of this car?" Qiao Yiyu asked them, and when she was asking, she noticed a significant change in the faces of several people, and guessed, "Is it because of us?" β
The children kept their heads down, didn't say a word, and occasionally looked at each other, as if to encourage each other.
Several police officers and drivers didn't speak, but even Han Le could see that they must know the reason, but they were reluctant to tell them.
"Is it because we're hibernators?" As soon as the words hibernator came out, Qiao Yiyu saw several children raise their heads at the same time - she guessed correctly.
The matter was settled, and the police quickly found them a regular self-driving taxi and escorted them back in a police car β not far anyway. When the car started, Han Le turned his head and saw that the frustrated children just now were now smiling proudly, holding those launchers, that is, simple electromagnetic guns, and shooting at the broken down luxury car.
"It's just a prank." Han Le wanted to convince himself like this, but he found it difficult to do so, judging from the performance of the driver and the police just now, such behavior must be frequent, if these children show such obvious rejection of hibernation now, then what about when they grow up?
It's the same as the education I received when I was a child, even after half a century, when I think of Japanese people, I still subconsciously think of something. The point is that those things that affect themselves have slowly sunk into the dust of history, but what affects them will be like a mountain, piled higher and higher.
When they arrived at the hotel and the police left, the driver carefully reminded them: "In the future, I will stay in an ordinary place, which will not attract attention and cause less trouble." β
After the driver also left, Han Le and Qiao Yiyu looked at each other, and Han Le suddenly sighed: "Now when it comes to hibernation, I'm really a little scared, I feel that something will happen sooner or later if it goes on like this." β
Qiao Yiyu was not so pessimistic: "Crow's mouth, you are too imaginative, I have seen a lot of this kind of thing before, there are many more serious things than this, it's not good now, in a few years, they will find out that they are naΓ―ve." β
