Han Le stared at the blank screen for a long time and asked, "Can everyone write on it?" It's like leaving a message online? ”

Alan explained: "It's still a little different, usually there will be an administrator to review the content, and I remember that someone was bored and wrote on it that I wanted tens of millions of ......\ words have dropped to less than a day." ”

Han Le probably understood the literal meaning, but he still didn't quite understand the meaning behind the indicator, just as he never knew what GDP meant.

"The lower this indicator is, the more dependent people are on hibernation, if everyone wakes up 365 days a year, then there is no hibernation, if it is 0, it is forever hibernating. In the world of economics, this indicator is usually linked to GDP, and it is often seen in the news anyway, the lower the indicator, the higher the GDP. ”

"That's not right," Han Le questioned, "GDP is the gross social product, the more people hibernate, the lower the GDP should be?" ”

"This is the view of classical economics, and this era has long changed!" Alan smiled, "It is precisely because there are many people hibernating that more people want to join hibernation, and they will be willing to work and create wealth for hibernation...... If everyone is awake, then according to the total population of the earth now, about 90% of the people will be unemployed, where will there be so many jobs for people to do? If so many people don't work, the government will definitely have to support them, and those who have jobs don't want to do it. So for hibernation economics, hibernation is stronger than unemployment. ”

"Look here, more than 400,000 people," Alan pointed out the window to the streets and crowds, "more than half of them are working, supporting the regular operations of hundreds of nearby hibernation sites, hibernation tourism, hibernation site expansion, energy supply...... While the vast majority of people here hate hibernation, would we still be working if hibernation didn't exist? Anyway, if it were me, I would definitely quit, I'd rather live at home with computer games for the rest of my life. ”

Han Le's thoughts were a little confused all of a sudden, Allen's words sounded very reasonable, but he always felt that something was wrong. However, his last sentence was the truest portrayal of Han Le's previous life, which made him subconsciously laugh.

Su Pei originally came with Han Le purely to watch the sightseeing, but after Allen said so much, he seemed to start to feel that all this around him began to have a terrible meaning, and when he thought of the scene described by Allen's words—on the one hand, the global population was skyrocketing, and on the other hand, everyone was desperately burrowing into the hibernation cabinet—he had a chilling feeling, and he wrung his brows and asked, "But these people will wake up one day, what should I do at that time?" ”

"Someday you will wake up, this sentence has been said since the beginning of hibernation techniques," in fact, every guest Alan has received has this worry, and the same explanation Alan himself does not know how many times he repeats it, "But will it really wake up?" Human desires are endless, you can imagine that at the next awakening point you wake up, if the era is bad, then you will definitely go to hibernation again, wait for a good time, but if it is a heavenly good time, I am afraid that after you enjoy it for a month or two, you will still go back to the hibernation cabinet, because you still expect something better. As I said before, the average annual awakening rate has been declining for more than a decade...... Why? Because hibernation is a more powerful drug than methamphetamine, it gives everyone the superpower to travel through time, and its experience has a surreal magic...... No normal person can resist this temptation. For example, if you were to be allowed to stay in this age forever until you die, would you be willing? ”

Su Pei had nothing to say, although the uneasiness in his heart still existed, but Allen's logic was impeccable.

……

In the evening, Alan took a few people to a party at the town's bar—a town that the locals still call it, even though it is home to more than 400,000 people. INTERVIEWER Because of the stratification of the underground city and the height restrictions, there is not much deviation from a visual point of view. The kind of megacities of the early 21st century are few of those in this era, and the so-called cities of this era look more like a patchwork of many small towns.

However, when Han Le saw the so-called "bar", he was still frightened, the bar in this era is not the kind of place in his memory or in the hibernation area, where dozens of people, at most hundreds of people drink, chat and watch shows, the "bar" of this era is located in a large square in the center of the town, when he entered, Han Le looked at it, and the entire square was densely packed with human heads, which made people feel dizzy.

After entering, Han Le realized that the so-called "party" in this era is actually a big carnival of thousands of people, this kind of party is basically every month, sometimes even for several days in a row, and people with jobs can even use the "party" as a reason to ask for leave from the company, which cannot be approved according to the law...... The party uses the public funds of the town government, so the locals are free, but outsiders like Han Le have to pay a lot of money.

The party was lively, but it didn't look messy, basically a small circle performed their own shows, some were video game competitions, some were bands, and some were purely entertaining themselves, such as Allen brought them into the arena and went to a group event to play games, while what Han Le is watching now is a group of people playing a static game - the kind of game where everyone poses and no one is allowed to move. Only bored people like Han Le will go around the square - it is because they are bored that they will come to watch, and most of the people in the party do not want to watch the show, but to participate in the show.

The party starts at 7 p.m. and is said to last for two full days. At first, Han Le was still a little constrained, and he always felt that he was an outsider and couldn't fit into this carnival atmosphere, but after entering an area for water fights, he quickly threw himself into it, and the water fights in this era are much more professional - imitating the routines of many games, and you can change weapons after "killing" the opponent, because the "water power" is too fierce, and the participants even need to wear impact-proof helmets.

Maybe since graduating from college, Han Le has not played as happily as today, and in the second half of the night, Han Le has even exchanged for a "water cannon", which can be used to abuse future novices. On the way back, Han Le suddenly felt that maybe a month or two of waking up time was too short.

"Maybe I changed my mind again in a month," Han Le laughed at Qiao Yiyu again, he suddenly remembered that when he had just graduated from college, playing computer games at that time brought him no less happiness than today, but later, he ......

"What kind of life do you want so that people will be willing to be satisfied forever?" Han Le peeked at Qiao Yiyu's soaking wet body curves, thinking frivolously, and sighed heavily in his heart.
