The historical process of mankind has been in a state of acceleration, from primitive society to slave society, from slave society to feudal society, and then from feudal society to today's civilization, the time of each stage is decreasing, and the speed of change in the future world will be far beyond our imagination. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info200 years from now, it will be the so-called ultimate earth for us, where the social structure, social outlook, and worldview of human beings are very different from what we have now. There is no concept of the country there, because all the countries have long been integrated, some backward civilizations have long disappeared in the long river of time, although the language, customs, culture is different, but this is no longer an obstacle to people's communication, the advanced level of science and technology can make many impossible possible, there are many tools and equipment that we have never tried, even in science fiction novels have been mentioned, and even artificial sky and earth have appeared, where human creativity is incomparable, It was a completely different world.

Although the environment has changed dramatically, the way of life of human beings still continues the tradition of thousands of years, some people are born to be tall in the office, some people need to run for a living, here almost every adult uses a tool called "paddle machine" to travel, like a car suspended in the air, and some like a small plane flying close to the ground, in the parking lot of each building, you can see countless paddle machines stacked in layers in the docking station, forming a swaggering flag.

A man in a black trench coat stepped out of an elongated paddle machine and stood in front of a small Chinese-style building. The servant stepped forward and took the man's top hat and opened the door to the small building for the man. The man walked slowly, and trembled slightly, the man walked into the lobby of the western-style building, the lobby was also a retro decoration, the dim yellow light reflected the dark nanmu floor on the colorful murals on the dome of the hall, the ebony furniture, a whole polar bear skin, the sandalwood fragrance in the air, the goldfish swimming in the canal dug out of the ground, and all kinds of furnishings all showed the noble identity of the owner. The man stood in the doorway, a little bewildered, twisting his toes back and forth on the ground, his trench coat resting on his left arm, and his right hand in his pocket and hanging down to one side.

"Don't be so nervous, relax." A woman's voice came from upstairs. The man looked up, a long-haired woman leaned on the stairs on the second floor, the sequins on the woman's black robe shimmered in the light, the man quickly lowered his head and bent down slightly respectfully. The woman "kicked" down the stairs in her high heels and sat down on the crocodile couch while the man sat down.

The man straightened up and sat cautiously in the corner of the sofa, while the servant brought the hostess a cup of coffee and the man a cup of tea.

"A cup of tea to relieve fatigue, brewed with pure water extracted from the groundwater of Europa, taste it."

The man looked shocked, and hurriedly picked up the teacup with both hands, put it to his mouth and took a sip gently, making a look of unfinished: "The taste is really unusual, and the water in the future has a unique crisp sweetness." ”

The hostess smiled lightly and said, "Director Li came here for the first time, how did he feel along the way, this kind of experience is something that ordinary people can't experience." ”

"It's a great honor to be able to fly on your company's shuttle."

"Director Li has a ruddy complexion, and he must be very satisfied with our service. So let's talk about business, how is that kid now, what have you been busy with lately? ”

"Recently, a couple of traitors have suddenly appeared within us, and he has also mixed up with those people, and they have taken a few of our shuttles, and now I don't know where to hide. But rest assured, Chairman, I've sent the best searchers and I'm sure I'll be able to find him. ”

The female chairman looked unhappy when she heard the report: "So now he is out of control?" ”

Director Li lowered his head and quickly nodded twice, trembling and said, "I will definitely find him as soon as possible." ”

"I'm going to have a board meeting in a month, and I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer, knowing that the man is still with me, and if I put him back, I think you won't be able to sleep."

"Yes, yes! Thank you Chairman for your great help, I will definitely live up to your hopes. ”

"Don't be nervous Director Li, we have been working together very well, I think there will be no problems this time, the position of director is waiting for me now."

"Thank you, chairman, if it can be realized, the space agency will be at your disposal."

"Okay, let's talk about flattery later. Someone will take you to the hotel in a while, you can walk around, pick whatever you like, and someone will pay the bill. With that, the chairwoman got up and walked upstairs.

After the chairman disappeared from view, Director Li followed the servant out of the small building, and waited at the door for an ultra-luxurious paddle machine, four times the size of the one he was riding in when he came. The servant carried Director Li and slowly started the wind paddle machine, the wind paddle machine slowly rose, climbed steadily, and stopped rising after about 1000 meters, at this time the wind paddle machine has stopped on top of other wind paddle machines, looking down, each wind paddle machine is like a small fish in the water cruising in the air.

"Director Li, we have the highest authority for the height of the civilian wind paddle machine here, and then up is the military height." Said the driver of the paddle machine.

Director Li, who was originally afraid of heights, saw that he was in the highest position, and his heart was even more trembling: "Hurry up and go, it's too dangerous to be so high." ”

The driver did not answer, directly pushed the machine out of the maximum horsepower, and flew out like a catapult in an instant, but there was no movement in the cockpit. "Director Li, we are flying at subsonic speed now, and we will be there in about 15 minutes."

"Isn't it three hundred kilometers away from here, why go to a hotel so far away?"

"Our group's real estate is all over the world, and the place we are going to is the most luxurious hotel in our group, and 300 kilometers is very close in this era, please take a break." After saying that, the glass in front of the cockpit and the cockpit instantly turned black, separating Director Li in a private space.

The bulkhead is made of video screens, and the cockpit is almost occupied by a huge sofa with two bottles of red wine and a plate of fruit on a small table in one corner. Director Li minimized the visibility of the bulkhead, allowing him to see a trace of the outside world and at the same time giving him a sense of security. Fifteen minutes passed in a flash, and when Director Li was about to fall asleep, the paddle machine had begun to descend slowly, and he magnified the visibility of the bulkhead slightly, and what he saw in front of him was a series of hills, and several buildings of different shapes were inlaid among the green trees and red fruits all over the mountain. At the foot of the hill is a completely modern futuristic city, with a variety of odd shapes, including a huge playground-like playground, a golden cone-shaped building on one side of the playground, which shines a golden dazzling light on the surface of the sun, and a huge letter "M" stands at the top of the cone, which is particularly dazzling in the complex.

The paddle machine slowly landed and stopped on the special apron on the side of the conical building, and the servant opened the hatch, "Director Li, welcome." A young woman in a black uniform and top hat was standing outside the cabin smiling and waiting, and when Director Li walked out of the cabin door, he said, "I accompany you for all your activities here, you can call me Jove." After speaking, he stretched out his hands and grabbed Director Li's arm.

Jove led Director Li into the building, the four walls of the lobby are a huge ocean fish tank, and it is connected to the ground, all kinds of sea creatures swim back and forth between the feet and the walls, the walls are also dotted with various green plants, the five-story high hall dome is also created into a natural world, a huge tree vine spreads down from the dome, and the purple flowers between the green leaves on the vine are dotted.

"Are these plants and fish real?"

"Director Li, everything you see here is true. This is the newest hotel in our group, and the facilities are also the most luxurious, and I will show you around the room. Jove said as he walked into the sightseeing elevator with Director Li.

The elevator rises smoothly, and through the glass of the elevator, you can see the panoramic view of the hills in the distance, which makes people sigh at the greatness of the Creator. The elevator stopped on the penultimate floor, and Jove took Director Li into the room, a luxurious suite, the floor-to-ceiling glass on the front has a panoramic view of the outside scenery, the wall and desktop are made of displays, and the air quality in the room, external weather conditions, current major news and even his own body monitoring data are presented on the wall in real time.

Jove hung up Director Li's clothes and poured a cup of coffee: "Director Li, taste our homemade coffee, the coffee beans are roasted from the igneous rock in the mantle. ”

"Mantle?"

Jove nodded and said, "In our time, we have been able to reach the surface of the earth's core, and the heat in the mantle has become the main source of our energy supply, and the mantle contains tens of billions of tons of diamonds, so diamonds are as common here as pebbles, I thought the director had packed some good color, and I think it should be able to sell for a good price in your time." ”

When Director Li saw the diamond he had prepared for himself, he was overjoyed in his heart, and said with a smile: "How can you prepare such a valuable gift, you must thank the chairman for me." ”

"Director Li, what are you talking about, these are just a little caution from the chairman, if you like it, I will have some rare gems to bring back for you, and I hope Director Li will not shirk."

"Haha, that's so polite." Director Li laughed and said, "Jove, don't want Director Li anymore in the future, Director Li doesn't sound like you're outside, just call me Li Jian or Brother Li." ”

"Yes, Director Li, oh no, Brother Li." Jove's voice Brother Li called Li Jian numb, and he couldn't stop laughing, "Brother Li, you wash up first, and I'll take you around in a while." After speaking, he left Li Jian's room.
