In 2775 A.D., the Earth was a devastated planet. And the pictures of the earth hundreds of years ago: green waters and green mountains, fog and light rings, and full of glow. It is precisely by relying on the colorful pictures that fill in the gloomy memories of several generations of human beings, so that the earth in front of us, which has no other colors except black and gray, seems to have a trace of vitality, and there is a little bit of something called "hope".

420 years ago, the last green of the earth and the sea were gone. With their loyal subordinates, with all the resources of each country, and all the scientific research results of each country, the leaders of various countries left the earth forever on an interstellar spaceship, looking for another planet that can completely replace the earth, rich in resources, and for human beings to live.

So, how many people were left in the countries at that time? There are still 95 per cent of the population in every country, the so-called "poor" in each country. But on a planet with such advanced technology, why is it that a country is 95% poor? Shouldn't it be evenly divided between rich and poor? No, when a country's economic development reaches a certain level, monopoly will emerge and become more and more intense. resources, in the hands of a few people; Wealth is also in the hands of these people.

So, whether rich or poor, it is the wealth of a country, why is it abandoned? Because, in the mechanized line industry, there is no need for labor. Robots that can work endlessly with a little maintenance are more in line with the interests of the exploiting class than the poor who need to eat, drink, and rest. The poor have no other meaning of existence except for the occasional good deeds and image needs of politicians and tycoons. In fact, many news reports have directly declared that the existence of the poor is a waste of resources. As early as the year 2300, at an international conference, some delegates suggested that all the poor should be emigrated to nearby planets, and occasionally some tools should be sent over to give them the task of opening up Xinjiang. In this way, it not only solves the problem of excess population, but also puts itself on the highest point of morality. This proposal was unanimously approved. However, considering that the earth would be abandoned in the near future, and there was no need to waste such a large amount of resources on these poor people, the proposal was shelved indefinitely.

More than 400 years have passed, and the abandoned people on the earth, relying on super resilience and personal perseverance, have stubbornly existed on the earth that has long been left behind, relying on the scattered abandoned resources. Today, the remaining population of each country is less than 100 people, and everyone is thin and short, with a dark body and a face full of dazed despair. For hundreds of years, the artificial oxygen machine has been out of maintenance and has finally broken down in the process of continuously reducing oxygen output, and can only occasionally output a small amount of oxygen from time to time. Now the remaining oxygen is less than a month's supply. Knowledge is never in the hands of the poor, but is a weapon used by the rich to improve their lives, to improve their status, and to deal with the poor.

Those who are old, infirm, and unwilling to survive any longer have chosen to give up the hope of living to others, and they have ended their own lives. At this time, being alive may no longer be a kind of happiness; In the same way, death does not have to be a pain. Those who have died, because they no longer have to endure suffering, have been relieved, and they have also been grateful and remembered by others. The living, on the other hand, have to endure day after day of hunger and thirst, suffocating from scarcity of oxygen. However, the living have lost the right to commit suicide, and they have to guard the unwarranted "hope" and "fairness" for the generations of dead people. Maybe tomorrow, we will be fed and clothed; Perhaps tomorrow, we will be able to get the same level of status and opportunities as everyone else.

However, for these people who have no hope at all, and who may not even wake up after falling asleep, do these two things really exist?

Perhaps, such a thing can only exist in fantasy. In real life, it doesn't exist!

Sun Xiran, who lives in China's Mangran province, celebrated his 86th birthday yesterday. Of all the people in the world who have survived, she is the longest-lived and the longest in hundreds of years. In addition to Sun Xiran, the others, the oldest, are only 23 years old, and many new children have not had time to learn to eat their mother's milk, and they died because of the harsh natural environment.

The automatic transmission of the road works as usual, when there is no one, the road is stationary, and once the person reaches the road and does not move, the road begins to move slowly and automatically. There are four gears in both directions: slow, even, fast, and rapid. I choose according to my own requirements. On the side of each road, every 2,000 meters, there is a platform for people to get on the road. Standing on the platform, simply press any of the long rows of buttons in front of you on the ground, and a data screen will appear in front of you. Choose your destination, choose your gear, choose your transit route, and then a silvery green data ball will automatically rise under your feet and send you to the corresponding road. Because the road is the most frequently used and very important existence, scientists have developed a set of mechanical processes that can be repaired and maintained automatically, which is very expensive. It is also one of the few scientific research results that can be used today.

Sun Xiran stood on the slow road, and after the road automatically identified her age and analyzed her physical condition, he digitized a seat for her, and after she sat down, he automatically fastened her seat belt. Sun Xiran looked enviously at the people around him who were erecting digital railings, especially those in a hurry, and recalled his youth. After searching for a long time in his gray memories, he crossed those cold, hungry and desperate memories, and finally found something related to the road. After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't help but smile bitterly: I have been sitting since the first time I got on the road, and I have never stood up: my physical condition is really bad. The physical fitness that could die at any time, every time the seat appeared as a warning red as today, how could you ever stand?! If you look closely at the people standing around you, especially those in the hurry, everyone has a smile on their faces that they have never had before: happiness, full of beauty. It turns out that they are all people who choose to end their miserable lives with undeserved hopes and fantasies on the urgent road. Well, hundreds of years ago, wasn't there a saying about the Ferris wheel of happiness? Now there is no such thing as a Ferris wheel of happiness, so let's fantasize about it on the road. Happiness is fixed on their faces.

Shift your gaze to the surrounding buildings: this is the slum, full of dark vermilion. The residential building is 1,650 storeys high, and the first floor is unified with a variety of shops, providing residents with daily necessities. The buildings are next to each other, and the distance between them is only 20 meters, which is still the widest lot. Except for the top floor, the other floors do not see sunlight all year round.

Sun Xiran remembers that when he was a child, he listened to the old people, and they also listened to what their old people said, and the saying was passed down from generation to generation: at that time, the rich had not left, and the representatives of the poor in each area would go to the government on a monthly basis to receive the daily necessities funded by the rich, and after receiving them, they would put them in the shops on the first floor. It is precisely because of the scarcity of items that if one person uses more, there will be many people who do not have it.

Right now? A hundred years after the rich people left, no matter how much everyone saved, the goods in the shops have long disappeared. Every day, everyone, to every room, every corner, to find out if there is anything missing, to find out if there are new plants, to find out if there are any new animals. Occasionally, mushrooms are found in damp corners, and it is enough for people in a province to solve a month's nutritional problems: throw the few handfuls of mushrooms into a large pot, boil the soup, take a spoonful every day, and add it to the glass of water that each person should be allocated every day to replenish the nutrients. And if a cockroach and a mouse can be found, then the people of this province can be proud of other provinces and even countries: there is meat.

Turning the corner and retracting his thoughts, Sun Xiran found that he had arrived in the wealthy area.

Unlike the slums, the regal area is a villa with three floors, five to eight rooms on each floor, purchased according to the financial ability of each person, each person is also equipped with a car, the kind of items that the poor can only see on the electronic display screen, and each villa also has a lawn from 100 meters to a kilometer, which is also purchased according to the financial ability of each person.

There is no difference between the poor and the poor, who are already desperately poor anyway. However, the rich are different, with more money and less money, which directly affects their quality of life and social status, and involves face problems.

By the time Sun Xiran arrived at his destination, there were already several people in the community looking for food and water.

Looking at the silent looking people in front of him, Sun Xiran sighed: There are fewer and fewer people, there are still seven or eight people here, and there are only five people left today: you know, this is the entire population of China.

Every day, everyone gathers together to find food and water. Take care of each other and help each other.

Sun Xiran also bent down and looked for it slowly, everyone who touched her looked at her with blank eyes, and then turned around and left: longevity always symbolizes good luck, and everyone hopes that Sun Xiran, who can live so long, can find something that the rest of them did not find.

The lawn is still barren, and the next crop of grass will have to wait until next spring, this winter, but it is too hard.

Looking at the few dark and thin companions in front of him, Sun Xiran sighed: Hey, tomorrow, there are still a few left.

Bending over and beating his back, Sun Xiran held back the feeling of dizziness, and continued to look down after his eyes could see things again.

Perhaps, it was the happiness brought by his birthday, Sun Xiran actually found a translucent green circle an inch from his left front foot.

Sun Xiran's voice trembled a little: "Five or six, you come over quickly." She didn't look back, her skinny right hand waving behind her back.

He is five, six or eight years old, but he is only 56 centimeters tall and weighs only 20 pounds. However, even so, in the crowd, five or six did not stand out.

Five or six hurriedly ran over, and when he wanted to help Sun Xiran up, he stiffened, staring at the round block on the ground in a daze, without words.

Sun Xiran slowly straightened up, still trembling uncontrollably. He sighed and looked up at the gray sky, but he didn't feel happy.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes, and five minutes passed, and it took five or six to come back to his senses and shout loudly with all his strength: "Grandma Sun has found the food maker, come here." ”

Everyone who had been looking for something in a daze rushed over as if they had suddenly been energized. The five of them sat in a circle, staring stupidly at the round block on the ground, not knowing what words to use to express their emotions.

It seemed that a long time had passed, and it seemed that only a few minutes had passed, and everyone suddenly reacted: some cried bitterly, some laughed, some knelt on the ground to thank God, and some cursed all things in heaven and earth with their hands on their knees. And five or six, slowly squatted down, hugged his knees tightly with both hands, buried his head in his arms, and shrunk into a ball.
