Chapter Seventy-Two: European-style villas

The only casual book Haige has ever read is called "The Most Beautiful Life", which is an essay written by an English writer seventy years ago. When he read that book, he seemed to have really found the form of a beautiful life and understood the true meaning of a person's life in the world. The life that is as quiet as water and fragrant as the wind is in stark contrast to the inhuman life in the wolf's den. Perhaps it was for this reason that he not only did not feel relaxed when he read the last page, but also grieved even more for his own tragic fate with the stupid dragon.

Since "The Most Beautiful Life", he has fallen in love with the spiritual food of "books", and has always longed for new books to read frequently, so as to use those beautiful words as a filling for his empty soul. Unfortunately, after reading that book, he never got any new books.

On the semi-curved ceiling of the library area of the lobby, a circular chandelier is hung that symbolizes the planets of the universe. The light was bright and soft, just the perfect light for reading. Hai Ge looked at the bookshelf that filled the wall, but he didn't notice that there was a metal wire with a slightly thick tip and a slight red light, as thin as iron wire, quietly reaching the top of his head, and after staying in his hair for a while, a piece of metal popped out of the bookshelf and was sent to his nose, and the electronic window showed that the book was "A Beautiful Life", the author was Tolman from England. Hoffman.

"Oops~"

Hai Ge screamed defenselessly, only to find the metal wire that had "sneak attacked" and grabbed it in his hand.

Seeing his fuss, Wedel was happy again and explained: "This is the thinking detector commonly used by our Wedel-U people. Its internal microchip senses brain waves in the range of 01 to 100 Hz, covering all bands of brain waves. Of course, it can read what is going on in your head, and wave frequency sensing alone is not enough, this work has to be done by a miniature mirror reader. In short, it's the same as putting information into a computer's hard drive and then interpreting it through the central processing unit. ”

"What? What is in my head, this thing can be understood as long as I probe through my scalp? Hai Ge didn't understand why the human brain can be electrified, and the current can also form wave frequencies, but the mind detector can interpret the thoughts in the minds of living people through mirror images, and he is very uncomfortable, and he feels like a voyeur when changing clothes.

Wedel's explanation is that the shelves are full of books, but all the written works that have appeared on Earth have been archived here. Using a detector to help you find a book can save you a lot of time.

Besides, the e-book is really interesting, and Hai Ge can't associate it with a palm-sized e-reader. As soon as the flakes come into contact with the hand, they will "poof" and unfold, becoming the same thickness as the real book, and you can turn the pages one by one.

In the era of e-reading, it is difficult for people to enjoy the fun of flipping books, but this small reading room seems to bring people back to the past, although it is still with the help of high-tech means.

Leaving the reading area, you enter the hospitality area on the left side of the hall, which is the living room in the true sense of the word.

The room is furnished with a coffee-coloured sofa and coffee table. In a bright green vase on the coffee table, there are a few pale pink flowers picked from the botanical garden, and some of the petals are still fresh dew, which looks quite refreshing and adds a bit of elegance to this empty area.

The whole place looks inlaid with gold and jade, but it is not unconventional, and its color combination can be described as perfect, even a spotlight placed in the corner can reflect the light on the wall.

Wedel said that he didn't put a little thought into the design of this villa, and all the decorations, as well as the matching between the decorations, are all determined by AI intelligence according to his appreciation criteria, and perfectly match his visual aesthetic requirements. And he himself can devote all his attention to his work.

Sitting on what appeared to be a corner couch made of rhinoceros leather, with a white blanket of what could be mink at his feet, Haige's tired body relaxed. But as soon as he took a breath, there was a soft feeling under his buttocks, as if someone had added a comfortable sponge pad to him, and the sponge pad was still hot, just in balance with his body temperature.

"When did you put this mat here? Didn't I get up? Hai Ge twisted his body twice, very dazed.

Wedel proudly explains: "Without the cushions, your sensation comes from the sofa itself. This sofa is non-leather, and I will never hunt any wild animals to get groceries or food from them. The basic material of the sofa is titanium, which is added with a lot of vegetable oil, and every square millimeter of molecular structure hides a human comfort regulator, when people sit on it, the sofa can automatically adjust the hardness and temperature for you according to the ergonomic requirements. ”

Haige nodded, his gaze turning to the wall at eye level with the person sitting on the couch.

As long as the walls are not obscured by bookshelves, there are large and small picture frames. Most of the pictures in the frame are incomprehensible, and seem to be more incomprehensible than Vincent. Van Gogh's abstract paintings are more difficult to understand. But he praised some of the paintings that beautifully depicted the landscapes of the earth, including the Great Wall of China, the Taj Mahal in India, and Machu Picchu in Peru.

However, the most attractive thing is the two portraits, one of which shows a redhead in a blue dress smiling sweetly, she is none other than Wedel's wife, Marie. The other picture shows a little girl about seven or eight years old, with big eyes, pink skin, and brown and red hair, and she is obviously Weddell's lovely daughter, Elle.

All the drawings are three-dimensional, the landscapes give an immersive sense of magic, and the portraits give the impression that the person in the painting is about to come out of the frame with a smile.

Seeing that Hai Ge's eyes had been resting on the two portraits of his wife and daughter displayed side by side, Wedel's happy face was overshadowed by gloom, and he sighed secretly.

"Hai Ge, Aunt Lucy is preparing a sumptuous dinner for us, so we better not waste the waiting time and make the meeting boring. Let's talk about the topics that we both care about, and talk about our experiences. I've always been curious about your experience, but I'm not going to use technology to find out, but to listen to you if you want to. Wedel said to Hai Ge.

"Huh?" Haige, who was immersed in his thoughts and couldn't extricate himself, suddenly came back to his senses. The host made a request, and the guest did not dare to slack off, and he turned his head to meet Wedel's gaze.

Seeing his hesitation, Weddell said, "I have always been fair, and I promise not to listen to you alone. You have been promised, and when the time is right, I will tell you my story without reservation. So, you shouldn't have any worries, right? ”

Suddenly asked about the past, Haige was caught off guard. He longed to hear Wedel's story, but how dare he? The other party said this as if he was treating the experience as a transaction, which embarrassed him. Of course, even though he didn't mean it, he couldn't resist the temptation to hear Wedel's story after he finished speaking.

Most people tend to hide their experiences as secrets, not because they are really secrets. They just understand that when a person pays attention to the lives of others, they can always show calmness and objectivity, but it does not mean that they really understand, because they have no personal experience. It's the same as knowing that boiling water is scalding and putting your hand in boiling water to know what it is.

"I ...... My experience? Haige asked in a snort.
