Chapter 182: The Invisible Net
"Go to the North Pole of Ceres."
As soon as Su Ruyu's words fell, the antique-level spaceship that the two of them were riding on received the command of the airport navigation and began to slowly land on the docking.
At this time, Lu An was surprised to find that this hub airport of Ceres, which had been docked densely, kept taking off and landing spaceships.
Even, even the style of the spaceship is strange, with all kinds of hideous colors and strange appearances.
Lu An also saw the spacecraft-like space shuttle in front of the galaxy, which was an eye-opener for him. In comparison, the spaceship that Lu An and Su Ruyu were riding on, called the "Armstrong Roundabout Acceleration Jet Armstrong Cannon", was very low-key in appearance and not prominent at all, and its cool-sounding name did not have any momentum compared to those spaceships that couldn't even be named.
"Let's go, let's go, let's go down quickly, we've been on the spaceship for so long, and the bones are crisp off."
Su Ruyu said, and began to put on a space suit and a helmet mask.
"You have to wear a spacesuit in the airport?"
They have all arrived at the airport, even if this Ceres is not well developed and there is no artificial atmosphere suitable for human survival, but the airport still needs space suits, which is beyond Lu An's expectations.
With today's technology, even in some inhospitable asteroids, it is possible to build an airport for human free movement, with simulated gravity and suitable air.
Why is Ceres, such a huge planet, wearing a spacesuit and a helmet mask in the airport?
"Heh, I didn't use it before, but unfortunately it fell into disrepair later, and it is said that the anti-smuggling team is too lazy to maintain this airport, so everyone has to do this."
Su Ruyu shook her head and said contemptuously.
And Lu An, who listened to it, also shook his head, what kind of thing is this anti-smuggling team!
An organization that has no time to take care of the face of its own base camp, its future and fate can be imagined, and this anti-smuggling team is really worthy of everyone's evaluation of it, and it is not in vain its reputation among the stars.
After waiting for Lu An to put on the spacesuit, he followed Su Ruyu and climbed out of the spaceship, this spaceship is really an antique-level thing, even the design of the hatch is completely uncomfortable, and the passengers need to climb out of the airtight cabin above their heads with great effort, and there is no reasonable optimization consideration at all.
Su Ruyu slid down the bow of the spaceship, and then turned back to Lu An and said, "Be careful......
Before the words fell, I saw Lu An, who climbed out of the airtight cabin, jump down directly, but when he landed, he was tripped by the pitted ups and downs on the ground of the docking, and he fell directly into the mud, not to mention, and almost broke his foot.
After Lu An got up from the ground, he endured it for a while and didn't scold.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Before I could finish my sentence, you jumped down in a hurry......"
"What's going on with this ******?" Lu An finally didn't hold back, and scolded while stepping on the ground.
Su Ruyu shook her head and said: "I have just said that the facilities here are basically not well maintained, so even the ground of the dock is so uneven, if you are not careful, you will fall, who knows that when you came down just now, you just wanted to remind you, you couldn't wait to jump down, and you fell a solid ......."
"Aren't they afraid of accidents? In case when the spacecraft lands and docks, the support frame pokes directly into a certain pit, in case the engine shakes, then people who are not a spaceship should not think about surviving? ”
"Are you talking about this? Hehe, what year does it happen that there are no accidents here? There are always a lot of people dying every year, but the anti-smuggling team never cares, who doesn't know this? Therefore, now many spaceships have turned to the air port on the side of Homo sapiens, although the Martians hate it, but the air port of the 2nd Fleet is beautifully repaired and comfortable, not to mention the ground of the docking apron, where it is said that the transformation of the artificial atmosphere is almost completed, and even most areas do not need to wear space suits. ”
"Then we ......"
Su Ruyu glanced at Lu An and said lightly, "Far away." ”
Lu An suddenly stopped talking, drifting in space for nearly two weeks had already made him so tired and tired, if he ran farther, I am afraid that not only would he not be able to support it, but the antique-level spaceship behind the two of them might strike.
Therefore, Su Ruyu's sentence of "far" is simply reasonable and well-founded, and it is very convincing to Lu An.
Seeing Su Ruyu jumping towards the outside of the dock, Lu An also hurriedly followed. This airport in Ceres is probably due to the malfunction of artificial gravity equipment, and the gravity distribution is very uneven, and the normal walking posture is completely useless, so you can only jump forward like this.
It wasn't until they came to the hall of the airport that the gravity distribution returned to normal, and the two finally stopped their ridiculously rabbit-like forward posture.
"You wait here, I'll pay the parking fee."
Su Ruyu took off the helmet mask and freed the deformed bun, which was still hand-tied by Lu An when she was about to leave, but it was piled up in the helmet just now and made her very uncomfortable.
"Docking fees? What is this? ”
Lu An found that since he got close to this Ceres, he had become a curious baby again, and everything in front of him had become very fresh. Everything he was exposed to seemed to have become "abnormal", very different from his habits for the past twenty years.
Aren't all airport docks free to use? When do I have to pay for the stop? Even in the busy airport as the zero area of the earth, the thirteen districts and nine regions, Lu An has never heard of such a thing as "docking fee".
"It's the protection money paid to the anti-smuggling team, so that when we come back and find that our spaceship is missing, when we are dumbfounded, it is not as simple as wanting to cry without tears."
"Huh?!" Lu Anfang heard the big joke, and his face showed an incredible application, "Could it be that a huge spaceship can still be stolen?" ”
"Steal?" Su Ruyu glanced at Lu An and replied, "No, they will directly tow your spaceship away, and then take it for themselves openly." ”
After hearing this, Lu An's eyes widened, and he asked rhetorically, "Them? Could it be the anti-smuggling squad? ”
"Or else? When you spend money, you are stingy with a little money, but you are not merciless when you collect money, otherwise how do you think the reputation of the anti-smuggling team came from? ”
"But ,......"
Lu An looked down at the bare wrists of the two after removing the gloves, and asked, "How do we pay the money?" My money is all in the brain......"
As soon as his words were spoken, he saw Su Ruyu stretch out his hand, put it through the neckline of the space suit, dug it out on his chest, took out a plastic card, and shook it at him.
"Are we going to die without the brain? Don't say that the brain is just an artificial organ, even if it is a real organ, wouldn't we live without it? ”
Su Ruyu pursed her lips and said with a little pride: "I've never had a smart brain, don't I live a good life?" Really, are these things worth all the fuss about? ”
After Su Ruyu finished speaking, she turned around and walked to the side of the airport hall, leaving Lu An alone to stand still stupidly.
Never had a brain?
Lu Anzhong thought unconvinced, "Even if you can't use the brain on the asteroid, it's reasonable, but you've never used the brain?" Who believes ——, you! ”
However, what she said was not unreasonable!
The people who survived in the interstellar era have long been connected into a whole by the interstellar quantum synchronous network, and all people who are normal gods in human society are inseparable from the network node they carry with them - the intelligent brain.
But has it really become an artificial organ that people can't live without? Not necessarily.
Just like a normal person, sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, etc., are indispensable.
But if the vision is gone, can't people live? Not necessarily. If the sense of hearing is gone, will people not be able to live? Not necessarily. What about the sense of smell? Not necessarily, many people are born with a weak sense of smell, and even many people with rhinitis can't smell at all. What about taste? In the same way, life may be a lot less fun, but it is still far from being able to live. What about the sense of touch? It's the same thing.
Lu An recalled his experience on the moon, after that incident on the line of life and death, he seemed to have experienced the taste of not having an intelligent brain for the first time in his life, at that time he felt that he was separated from the normal human world outside by an invisible barrier, and he seemed to be locked in a transparent cage.
Although at that time, he forced himself to calm down in front of Tanaka Baie, but his heart was still full of anxiety, he didn't know what was going on in the outside world, he couldn't contact everyone he knew, and he felt as if he had been forgotten in that corner of the moon.
If there was no real threat to his life, Lu An might be desperate to return to the "human world" as soon as possible.
However, since coming to the asteroid, Lu An discovered that people can really survive without the brain. Without an interstellar quantum synchronization network, people wouldn't really be unable to live. Although Lu An has been trying to return to that normal "human world", he understands that he just wants to see his sister Anna.
In other words, he later realized that what he cared about was never the invisible network, but just someone in it. The reason why that invisible net can envelop all mankind and make the whole world operate around that invisible net is only because no one can alone extract all the people he has connections from, independent of that net.
Even if a person can, but the person he contacts cannot guarantee this, and so on, all mankind can only be honestly coerced in, and willingly.
For those who are outside this net, there is never one for those who are in this net.
When Lu An was in the monitoring post, he was sometimes bored and in a daze, and he also thought about this problem crankily. Is it at this moment, for that "human world", that there is no existence? So how did the whole of humanity exist before this web that engulfed the whole world? Is it like an isolated island, independent of each other and non-existent? After the Great Coalition Wave, why did this net suddenly appear? How did human society function before the Great Coalition Wave?
It's a pity that this kind of question has been thought about too much, and there is never an answer. History is there, but future generations don't know it.
Therefore, Lu An also had some strange ideas.
For example, in the "Guanghan Palace" on the moon at that time, was he locked in an invisible cage, or did he escape from the invisible cage by accident? Is it that you are locked out, or is everyone locked inside?
Etcetera......
Lu Anzheng was thinking wildly, and saw Su Ruyu walking back from the side of the hall with a gloomy face.
