Boring 21st Century 12 Library
Lunch was invited by Qiao Yiyu, Han Le had no intention of slaughtering her, and of course he would not recommend eating ramen, KFC is a good and pertinent option.
When Han Le returned to his seat with two set meals, Qiao Yiyu was browsing the prices on the KFC menu at a time, and the experience of looking for a job this morning finally made her form a deeper perceptual understanding of the price - money is not a simple stack of red paper, in this era, it is almost all measured, before today, she couldn't imagine that a person would easily change his life in order to get more of this red paper, and the profession he was engaged in went against his original intention or preferences, but it was normal in this era, She put herself in her shoes, if she came here today with no money and almost couldn't afford to eat, she would never think about which job was more suitable for her, and she would definitely be engaged in the most lucrative job within the range of options she could.
"Why don't you eat it?" Han Le separated the two meals from the middle of the plate, and when he saw that Qiao Yiyu was still in a daze, he reminded, "This is the money I was looking for." "After all, is it Qiao Yiyu who has a treat?
"Oh." Qiao Yiyu nodded, and picked up the hamburger like Han Le, but before eating, he still identified it, vegetables, fried chicken, bread, and cream......
"Han Le," Qiao Yiyu swallowed the food in his mouth and suddenly asked, "Are you very rich?" ”
This abrupt question almost choked Han Le, and after finally swallowing it, Han Le smiled awkwardly: "Why did you remember to ask this?" In Han Le's impression, Qiao Yiyu doesn't seem to be a person who cares about this kind of problem, but now it turns out that his error in looking at people is not a little bit.
"It's okay." When he spoke, Han Le's smile was a little stiff.
Qiao Yiyu naturally didn't know what the concept of okay was, but she could also see that Han Le didn't seem to be willing to answer this question, so she didn't continue, but she had calculated an account in private, if the house she rented was Han Le's, then at the current price level, the money she could get from selling it was enough for a person to live for hundreds of years.
"Actually, I just want to ask, you don't seem to be short of money, and you don't like these jobs, so why are you looking for a job?"
Han Le himself didn't realize that he was unconsciously relieved at this time, and then he realized that it was not easy to answer Qiao Yiyu's question clearly, or rather, at a relatively high level.
"I don't know this question myself," Han Le didn't choose to pass by, but seriously said something about his feelings, "Maybe it's because I've been holding it at home for too long and wants to come out to breathe...... What else can I do if I don't work? ”
This answer made Qiao Yiyu take aback, this is not intended for a modern person to hear the ancient slave say, if I don't work, what else can I do? It sounds absurd, but combined with the history that Qiao Yiyu knows, she feels that it may not be true.
"There's always something to do, right? Don't you have anything you like to do? Or want to do it. ”
Han Le smiled bitterly, yes, of course he has, it's just ...... If people can really install a controller in their brains, and when they are awake enough, they command themselves to unswervingly do what they want to do, then life is too wonderful, but in fact, the vast majority of people's behavior is fragmented most of the time, if everyone in this world can go in one direction and one way to the dark, then now human beings may be able to move to Mars to live......
This truth is easy to understand, but if you really want to say it, Han Le always feels awkward, unlike others, he doesn't have the excuse that most people have - for example, if he is replaced by Xie Yongqing, he will definitely say that it is not for food, life is forced to do nothing, Han Le does not have this excuse, these two houses are enough for him to spend in his life.
Han Le thought seriously for almost a minute, but there was still no answer - in fact, deep down he thought that maybe there would be no answer to this question at all, because man himself is an animal full of contradictions, he remembered that he would be addicted to games when he was in high school, at that time he felt that if he had the conditions, he could play games for a lifetime, how wonderful the world of games was, but now his dream has come true, and what about himself? Sometimes I start staring at the screen in a daze while playing, and I don't understand what I'm doing. What can I say? Say that the former self, the 17-year-old brain deceived the current self? But how can you ensure that your current self does not deceive your future self?
"What about you?" Han Le didn't answer Qiao Yiyu's question, he didn't know how to answer, so he could only throw the question back, "Do you have it?" ”
"Of course." When Qiao Yiyu answered, there was no trace of hesitation in his eyes. This kind of determination simply made Han Le jealous!
But this kind of emotion is only a flash - everyone is actually the same, Qiao Yiyu is still young after all, it is normal to have ideals, motivation and confidence, if she can still have this state in 10 years, then it is not too late for her to envy, but then again, if she can really maintain it at that time, maybe she will not be envious, but will only have low self-esteem.
"Then why are you still looking for a job? I don't think you like that. ”
"Of course I don't like it," Qiao Yiyu said, "I just want to try out what it's like to work." ”
Now Han Le is jealous, why doesn't he have this mentality and thoughts at Qiao Yiyu's age? When he was 20 years old, he was still working all-night-after-night-long WOW, spending two months training first as a thief, then two months as a warrior, and then ...... By now, he couldn't even remember the names of those accounts, which was a real irony to think about it now.
Perhaps sensing that this topic was a little heavy, no one continued then, and after eating the hamburger, Han Le began to eliminate the fries one by one, and broke the silence again: "Do you still go to the talent market if you go down?" ”
"The resumes are almost gone," Qiao Yiyu said, "I have to make copies if I go again, in fact, I think it's enough, twenty, there will always be one to contact you." ”
Han Le smiled awkwardly, he felt that Qiao Yiyu was a little more optimistic - Han Le had an experience of looking for a job after graduation, that time he spread the net and scattered more than 50 copies, and finally the four notified the interview, only one welcomed him to work - to be an insurance salesman, Han Le estimated that he should have accidentally voted wrong, of course, that time was also related to his low eye, at that time he felt that he was a college student, at least he had to find a reliable big company, but he didn't want to think about it, Who would be able to see the transcript after four years of playing.
"Where are you going that afternoon?"
"I don't know," Qiao Yiyu tilted her head sideways to look out the window, the rain disrupted her previous plans, "Do you have any good suggestions?" ”
Han Le obviously wouldn't have it, if there were, he would have tried it himself, and as for the house? But at this time, even if the man squeezes it, he has to squeeze out an idea: "Do you want to go to the zoo?" ”
Qiao Yiyu shook her head, although the vast majority of animals were almost extinct in Qiao Yiyu's time, and only specialized research institutions kept their embryos, but she didn't have the idea of going to see them at all - after reading it, she could only sigh that their fate was tragic.
"To the gym?" Although Han Le doesn't like sports, he doesn't mind making an exception for Qiao Yiyu.
Qiao Yiyu still shook her head, she already had an idea: "Is there a library nearby?" ”
……
"Why are you here?" Xie Yongqing looked at Qiao Yiyu and Han Le, and said in surprise, surprised by Han Le, happy by Qiao Yiyu, "What's the matter, I found a job and came to treat you?" It was the only explanation he could think of.
"After smashing my resume all morning, I realized my shortcomings and decided to come to the university to enrich myself," Han Le joked, and then said, "I will borrow your library card and visit your library." ”
"I didn't bring it with me, come with me to the lab to get it."
On the way to the laboratory, Xie Yongqing acted as a tour guide, introducing Qiao Yiyu to various buildings of the university, although it was Saturday, many classrooms were still full of people, which also had a certain relationship with the weather, when he arrived at the laboratory building, Xie Yongqing couldn't help but boast: "When the SARS virus was studied, the P3 (biosafety protection level 3) laboratory was inside, and there were more than 20 in the country, and it took 20 minutes to enter and disinfect and wear clothes, and the money for maintaining it alone would be more than one million ...... every year."
"I heard you say that there is a P4 in Huhan?"
"P4, that's basically weapon-grade...... It's just going to be built......"
"And when will you get a chance to go there?"
"Don't give me a chance!" Xie Yongqing deliberately sneered, "Who made me like Resident Evil...... But then again, the P3 virus that can be touched is already very powerful, of course, we can just look at it, and there are usually special guards. ”
Han Le: "It turns out that you have already done the investigation." ”
Xie Yongqing: "Yes, when do you think it's appropriate?" ”
Han Le: "Sooner rather than later, now!" ”
Xie Yongqing: "Right now!" After speaking, he strode towards the experimental building, of course, Han Le only dared to say it, and stood at the staircase with Qiao Yiyu and waited.
In just three or four minutes, Xie Yongqing came back with his library card, and kindly offered to send the two to the library.
"When I filled in the application in high school and chose a major, I felt that molecular biology was very emotional," Xie Yongqing seemed to feel a little emotional on the way to the library, "and then I thought about it, I actually felt that the virus was very emotional...... At that time, I thought that I would make a virus by myself in the future, which would be as easy to contag as a cold, and have a long incubation period and a high fatality rate like AIDS...... If HIV does not exist, human beings will certainly not imagine the existence of this virus, and this truth is actually the same, since that universal virus does not exist in nature, it means that it cannot exist. ”
Xie Yongqing's call was full of twists and turns, and he really couldn't understand it if he didn't analyze it carefully, but Han Le was used to his way of speaking: "If this virus really exists, it will kill all the hosts, and it won't die itself...... I read on the Internet that the most successful virus should be mitochondria, and you see that it has become a cellular necessity, and those without mitochondria have become low-grade goods. ”
"In fact, there are many viruses that have a positive effect at certain times, let's talk about AIDS," Xie Yongqing said, "at least there is no need to worry about the rejection of organ transplants...... Because the immune system is all broken, haha......"
After all, it is almost the end of the semester, many people are coming here temporarily, if it is just them, the seats will definitely not be found, but Xie Yongqing is obviously prepared - they often need to come here to check materials for their projects, so a small room on the side of the library is reserved for master's students who do projects, which can be regarded as a special treatment.
When Xie Yongqing mentioned this, Qiao Yiyu said that she didn't need it, she just came to have a general understanding of the technical level of this era, so as to prevent losing proportion when talking about related topics - just like when Han Le and Xie Yongqing were chatting just now, she always chose to be silent.
Xie Yongqing gave Han Le his library card and told him that he could only borrow two more books on this card, and that he would send a text message and go back when he left, after all, his time was not as generous as Han Le's. Han Le glanced at Qiao Yiyu, she was reading a physics textbook very seriously, and the quiet atmosphere of the library also made him dispel the idea of saying something, so he also found something he was interested in.
Han Le remembered that in his sophomore year, because of his parents' car accident, he had insomnia all night long, and once felt that there seemed to be something wrong with his psychology, so he borrowed Freud's psychology books a few times and brought them back for "research", and the result may be precisely because Freud and his old man specialized in the study of the subconscious, dreams, etc., which played a blessed effect, and Han Le found that it was used to sleep on a pillow, which was good for treating insomnia...... He went to the kind of school that he gave up all three books in the end, so there was no exam pressure, so he almost never came into contact with it later, but in high school, he kept borrowing books in that little bit of the library, and almost read all the "first push series".
If the library in high school is compared to a small pond of knowledge, then how can it be regarded as a reservoir, but it is a pity that he has not been in water for a long time, and he is afraid that he will drown - Han Le picked a few books almost randomly, and he no longer had the urge to read them just by looking at the catalog, and the area where he was was involved were all books involving physics and chemistry, and he could understand the catalog with his high school foundation.
Qiao Yiyu and Han Le's situation seems to be similar, they both open a book, look at the catalog, and then flip it twice, read it for dozens of seconds, turn a few more pages, and repeat it a few times before putting it back - Qiao Yiyu is slightly better than Han Le, she can understand some general descriptions, but that's all, after all, she is not learning this aspect.
However, Qiao Yiyu is better than Han Le to know some "scientific knowledge", as if almost all modern people can know ignorantly, there is relativity behind classical physics, and quantum mechanics behind relativity, although there will not be a few people who can really say why, but it probably means that if a modern person reaches an era where he does not know the specific level of science, as long as he opens the physics book to see what is involved, he can guess it approximately, Qiao Yiyu is doing this now.
Qiao Yiyu was a little surprised by the results, the development level of physics in this era is much more advanced than she imagined before, but it is not surprising when she thinks about it, physics in her eyes is like ancient alchemy in the eyes of modern people, it belongs to the kind of discipline that is easy to find phenomena, but has not yet developed into a complete system, and physics is not like chemistry, which has so many basic elements and can produce such complex chemical reactions - the whole life is almost developed on the basis of chemistry, But who saw life in the nucleus? Compared with chemistry, physics is so simple that in Qiao Yiyu's time, physics in the narrow sense has long become a discipline that has reached the end of its development, and in a broad sense, it is similar to the merger of astronomy by physics in human history, and has become a part of mathematics.
Of course, this is not reflected in the mathematics of this era, obviously the mathematicians of this era are not so ambitious, and mathematics is more integrated with information technology in this era...... However, it is difficult for people of this era to see many things, and only the condescending ones can appreciate this human development thread hidden deep in history.
Qiao Yiyu is more concerned about biotechnology, because it is this development that has the most profound impact on human history, even more than all other disciplines combined...... However, biology is still a relatively broken discipline in this era, she has checked it on the Internet, and even the basic theory of biological evolution has not been basically recognized - this is Qiao Yiyu's mistake, after all, there was no religion in her time.
Biology is broken, mainly because it is a highly applied discipline - the biggest difference between biology and any other existence is that it is active, changing, and the time of this activity can even be traced back to billions of years ago, a physicist wants to study a particle, as long as he keeps hitting the collider, as long as the model is determined, he can explain all the phenomena, but a virologist wants to study a virus thoroughly and find a solution once and for all. Even on this basis, it is almost impossible to find a solution to all viruses, because as long as the virus exists and is circulating, no one can say exactly what it will become after a while.
Qiao Yiyu stayed in the library for more than two hours in total, during which her mobile phone rang several times, and she was asked to go for an interview, because of the agreement with Han Le, and she was afraid that the ringtone would disturb the quiet of the library, so she simply turned off her mobile phone. After coming out, the two of them originally wanted to go to Xie Yongqing to return the library card, but no one answered his mobile phone - they should be busy.
By the time the two of them left the school, the rain had almost stopped, but the sky was still gloomy, and it was uncertain when it would fall.
Just as the two of them were walking towards the subway station, Han Le's mobile phone finally rang once, and after answering the phone, he said to Qiao Yiyu with a smile: "Let's go, let's go to the interview together." ”
