Wedge (I) 2048

Next Chapter

It happened on an ordinary and special night.

To put it mildly, this is not much different from the other 300 nights in 2048, and even compared to 30 years ago. Everyone is intoxicated with the convenience of high-tech life, but they don't realize that it has been a long time since mankind has seen a revolutionary + life breakthrough in productivity similar to electricity and earlier steam.

Fortunately, this is not a column such as social commentary or current affairs needle, otherwise this topic can be expanded to 30,000 words. And the reason why this is another special night, well, even if it is not a big event that is about to happen, this day is the birthday of Rollo's father, and this night, it should be a rare family dinner together.

Rollo's father, a guy who hangs around all day. He just goes to the Internet every day to watch the news, and then goes to the rooftop to bask in the sun or the moon, often looking at the sky and not knowing what he is doing, and he doesn't work, so he naturally deserves the outside world's evaluation of his 'not doing his job'. Rollo remembers that when he was a kid, his dad used to take him to watch high-definition superhero movies filled with several hard drives, and that was one of the warmest times he can remember. However, the outside world doesn't know this, and their opinion of Rollo's father is simply bad, for no other reason than Rollo's mother.

Rollo's mother looks a little like a veteran Oscar-winning actress when she was younger, but that's not why people flock to her or even regard her as a super idol and dream girl. In fact, Rollo's mother is not in the entertainment industry, nor is she an Internet celebrity. She is a strong woman who has built a huge technology industry empire in just 20 years. And instead of 'strong woman', another word is more appropriate to describe her - queen! Not to mention it during the start-up period, when the company gradually got on the right track, she also began to appear in front of the public camera. Since then, people have found that whoever stands next to her will be completely compared to the temperament that exudes from her. Whether it's the old-school leaders of the business world, or the top executives in the political world, or even the leaders of various countries and even those who really have the throne of the queen, as long as Rollo's mother stands up, she can take all the light. She was noble and holy, and she behaved in a proper manner, and people exclaimed that the word 'queen' was actually for her!

And such a character has already married a wife, and is a little white face who eats soft rice without doing anything - now he is an old white face, and Luo Luo's father has naturally become the object of people's mouths. People blamed and even abused Rollo's father in various channels, and some admirers of Rollo's mother spontaneously organized and rented the big screen in Times Square in New York for 4 years, 4 times 365+1 for a total of 1451 days, and the same sentence was written on the big screen every day: Are you divorced today?

Also drunk.

It's also thanks to Rollo's dad who is thick-skinned enough to ignore the outside world's comments at all. He and Rollo's mother have also been very affectionate over the years, probably because of their complementary personalities? No, there should be other reasons for this. Anyway, Rollo often feels that his dad is hiding a special side. It's a pity that for twenty years, he has not been able to solve this problem.

In addition to Rollo's father, Rollo is also a 'victim'. It stands to reason that Luo Luo is only 21 years old and can become a well-known ace screenwriter of secret agent scripts in Hollywood, and with the opportunity to 'write and direct', he is actually young and promising. Although it is not as rebellious as the protagonists in those time-traveling novels, it has entered the 10 billion club early, which is a proud achievement even in 2048, when inflation is quite serious. In addition, his mixed-race face is very attractive, if not very handsome, and even in the movies he wrote, he himself was even more popular as the male lead of the movie...... But such a life is not worth mentioning under his mother's aura. In fact, to be fair, Rollo has been living in the shadow of his mother since he was a child, and he is often targeted for this, and it is rare to be able to grow into what he is now!

By the way, although he is an ace screenwriter of secret service scripts, Rollo prefers to make superhero movies. He had a lot to think about it. It's a pity that since the wave of superhero movies that began in the first decade of this century, people have long been tired of the aesthetic of that genre. In order to make the movies he wants to make in the future, Luo Luo can only give in to the market choice first, and start his reputation first.

In this way, Luo Luo, his father, his mother, a family of three with very different personalities, is not perfect, but it can be regarded as happy...... Oh yes, in fact, there is more than a family of three, there is another 'family member'.

Naturally, it won't be Rollo's girlfriend here. Luo Luo has been living on the other side of the ocean since he was in college, and after graduation, he also mixed with Hollywood over there, and was contaminated with the "vices" of many "foreign devils", so naturally he would not find a partner to trap himself so early. This 'family member' is actually Rollo's mother's secretary, a girl named 'Olivia'.

Saying that it is a 'girl' is actually worth considering. She did look similar to Rollo now, but twenty years ago, when Rollo was a newborn baby, she was already like this. Now there is a group photo at home at that time, and you can see that something is wrong at a glance. If you think about it carefully, in fact, Rollo's parents don't seem to have aged much over the years?

For this question, Luo Luo actually asked a few times occasionally, but unfortunately he didn't ask anything.

Back to Olivia. In the past 20 years, Luo Luo has found that she is not only his mother's secretary all the time, but also has a good relationship with his father, so Luo Luo once suspected that the two were hiding from his mother What the hell + love affair is. At that time, Rollo also went to warn his father, and it turned out to be a joke that the family would bring up every time they got together. The truth is that Olivia had been a friend of his parents even before Rollo was born. How this friendship began, Rollo doesn't quite understand, in fact, Rollo doesn't know much about his parents before he was born, but the three of them have a really good relationship, there is no doubt about it. Rollo moved a few times and changed houses a few times, and his parents would prepare a room for Olivia, and Olivia lived with them at other times except for his mother's business trip. That says a lot. If it weren't for the clear writing in the household register, he would have thought that Olivia was actually born to his parents.

So today's family dinner to celebrate Daddy's birthday, Olivia will also come. For this young lady who will play with her from time to time since she was a child, Luo Luo also misses it. It's been almost a year since we last met.

But when Luo Luo got up early in the morning, got rid of the supermodel he hooked up with last night, and then took a few hours of plane from the other side of the ocean to return to the Chinese motherland, and then came downstairs to his mother's company headquarters building, ready to pick up his mother and go home with him, but was told that his mother had something important and couldn't get away?

It turned out to be Daddy's birthday?

It was Olivia who came out to pick him up, still looking youthful and moving. It stands to reason that Olivia deserves to be a big beauty in the Hollywood circle, and it's strange that she is still single after so many years.

Well, now is not the time to say this. After Olivia came out to pick up Rollo, she didn't wait in the office, but took Rollo directly to the small tarmac on the roof of the building. After getting on a helicopter gunship with the Huaxia + military logo there, the two of them went to the next stop.

Dispatching helicopter gunships is naturally not a simple matter. Only then did Luo Luo learn from Olivia that the "important thing" she said before meant that there was something wrong with an epoch-making energy project that the company cooperated with Huaxia officials.

For this project, Rollo has also heard about it on the other side of the ocean. Since it was proposed, Silicon Valley and Wall Street in the United States have been in mourning, and there has even been a brief wave of selling of nuclear energy and oil industry stocks, which has caused repeated turmoil in the financial market. This stems from people's confidence in the strength of Luo Luo's mother's company, and also a rational judgment that Huaxia officials dare to announce the existence of the project in advance. But now, the project has gone wrong?

After several circles, the helicopter gunship finally landed in a place that resembled a rocket launch base. Then led by the head of the base, Rollo and Olivia came to a research room.

In the center of the laboratory is a metal sphere with a radius of at least three meters, which is supposed to be the result of an energy project. However, compared to this metal sphere, what shocked Luo even more was his father, his father who was not doing his job, was also on the scene, and he arrived early. And the most unacceptable thing is that next to the sphere, his father is guiding those national researchers from forty to sixty years old, and the researchers are completely convinced of his father!

His father was there, and so was his mother, but she didn't participate in the discussion with the researchers. Rollo noticed that she was quietly looking at Rollo's father, her husband, who was called "waste wood" by the outside world. The gentle and adoring look on her face was something Rollo had never seen before.

Unfortunately, the problem still exists, and it seems to be getting worse.

Rollo then noticed that his parents, after a hurried hello to him, walked to the other side of the sphere and said something they didn't know. A few minutes later, Olivia got involved, and the three of them started to discuss, with Rollo's mother and Olivia both looking a little excited. Even his father, who has not been in shape all day, has a dignified face at this time.

This seemed a bit of a disobsession, but Rollo didn't care too much, but he had to admit that he was very curious about what he had seen since he got here, and about what his father, mother, and Olivia were discussing. So, he quietly bypassed the line of sight of the white-coated researchers, approached the sphere, and gradually came to the vicinity of Daddy on the other side.

“…… Since it's not the reason here, it can only be ......"

"How is that possible! Even that person can't put his hand here! ”

"This person? No, he's not human anymore, and even the so-called gods are far less than a finger of him, you know. ”

"But ......"

"No, that's all. For you, for our son, and for Olivia......"

"No, I can help too......"

Because it was a little far away, and there was a strange sound from time to time in the sphere that seemed to be being torn apart, Rollo couldn't hear it very clearly, but the more he listened, the more confused he became. God? Person?

Before Rollo could assemble the words he had heard into logical sentences, the sound of tearing in the sphere reached an unbearable level, and then it came to an abrupt end. Immediately afterward, a huge amount of azure light erupted from the metal sphere, instantly forming a wave of air that hit every corner of the entire research room. Everyone was knocked down by this wave of air, except for ......

Except for Rollo, who is closest to the sphere. He was swept into the center of the sphere that was already full of holes. At that point, a cloud of azure energy was constantly fluctuating.

So, in the end, the project still failed? It's a pity, alas......"

That was Rollo's last thought. In the end, he also saw the frightened expression on his mother's face for the first time, saw the young sister Olivia, who had not yet reacted, and saw his father's cold face at this time. It's just that he doesn't have time to come up with any ideas about these. The next moment, he completely disappeared into the azure energy. Subsequently, the azure energy also disappeared completely. It was as if nothing had happened except for the mess.
