081 no.3

Wu Zhe stayed in Shenhai for about a week.

As a big city, Shenhai's life is still much more exciting than Amsterdam, as long as you are willing to disclose your personal information, it is easy to receive all kinds of invitations - most of them are entertainment, parties, and of course, some are similar to Lu Jingwen's organization, some of which are particularly unbelievable in Wu Zhe's opinion, but they are normal things in this era.

For example, some people will oppose the use of machines to give birth to children, and oppose the artificial and targeted cultivation of organs -- inducing stem cells to differentiate specifically to form specialized organs -- this is what Wu Zhe is personally concerned about, because the lungs he breathes now are cultivated in pigs, and the technology he uses is the predecessor of this technology.

Of course, there is opposition and support...... Just like the anti-AI and pro-AI crowds that Wu Zhe saw at Noah, everyone gathered in the square, holding slogans with mobile phones with each other, and sit-in and demonstrating with each other all day.

Then in the evening, when the demonstrations were over, everyone seemed to have completely forgotten about the-for-tat of the day, and started playing games, partying, and dating together......

Wu Zhe has read Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory before, saying that if people are satisfied with food and clothing, they will seek something more meaningful. Wu Zhe didn't know if the demonstrations were a kind of self-realization, but for these people, maybe they did.

Generally speaking, this kind of demonstrator crowd is in good condition in this era - they have a little ideal, a little idea, but they do it in a more naïve, or rather, less efficient way. More ordinary people, living their lives are the evening version of these people - no childish actions of the day, only endless entertainment.

When a little white book can make itself happy by pressing a button, it will turn the act of pressing the button into the whole meaning of its life. In the civilized world, there are simply too many buttons to choose from - compared to this repetitive way of life. Hibernation seems to have a bit more positive significance, at least the hibernating people are still looking for the future, seeking change.

Before leaving Shen Hai, Wu Zhe also wanted to meet Lu Jingwen, after all, this was one of the only people he knew in this era. But she was told by Coke that she had hibernated, and she gave Wu Zhe the right to wake up - in fact, it was given to Coke. However, Cola guessed that she should have given the right to wake up to several people, and her hibernation club should have absorbed a batch of AI 6o years ago, although the number will not be too much, but there should still be a few.

But because it is illegal to privately possess AI in China, and Lu Jingwen and the members of their club were monitored by the police at that time. So Cola guessed that that batch of AI should still be in China, maybe Lu Jingwen stored them somewhere. It may not be possible to do anything else, but it should not be difficult to wake up the hibernators - Lu Jingwen has used the money given by Coke to buy a small hibernation area and transform it into a private hibernation spot - so that they can wake up. You will be able to escape the government's surveillance on a certain level.

Wu Zhe didn't ask Lu Jingwen what she was planning. Coke didn't say anything - he could guess some, but he didn't try to get into the details. In fact, both of them knew very well in their hearts that they would not like what Lu Jingwen did, and they might even be disgusted, just like those who were demonstrating on the street.

But in this day and age. It's a good thing to have something to do, but it's not that important whether it's good or bad.

And those who have nothing to do can only go to the future and continue to search.

The hibernation location arranged for Woo Chul by Cola was on Jeju Island in South Korea. During the hibernation era, many tourist resorts became the most exclusive hibernation areas, and just like Qizhi's investment in Athens, many companies have combined hibernation areas with vacations. Hotel-style hibernation areas began to flourish in this era – and of course, this also meant high hibernation service fees.

There are several hibernation areas on Jeju Island that are Chinese-speaking - most of the people living here are Chinese. In recent years, the country has become more tightly regulated on hibernation areas, and a special law has been enacted to stipulate that the government is the default wake-up authorizer - although the government can do this before, but it is only administrative, and it will only wake up when something happens. But under the new law, it may be okay to wake up a person - of course, with good intentions, recommend a job, or give some benefits......

But good intentions do not mean that they will be welcomed by everyone, so many people prefer to start hibernation abroad, South Korea's hibernation laws have always been on par with the West, Jeju Island has a good scenery, and it is convenient to return to China, so it can be regarded as a resort for hibernation abroad.

As the most frequent surgery in the whole era, the increasingly complex and diverse hibernation methods have given birth to professional hibernation doctors, just like plastic surgeons, dentists, internal medicine, ophthalmology, and orthopedics in the past...... Like doctors in these specialties, hibernation doctors are only responsible for hibernation in principle.

Wu Zhe's doctor is the representative of Qizhi's hibernation team, a former hibernation specialist for company employees, named Adam, an Englishman with a tall nose and a bit of age - but it still doesn't seem to be as secure as the old experts with glasses in the hospital.

Because Wu Zhe asked for high-frequency hibernation this time, this is also a relatively new technology in the field of hibernation in this era, and the real commercial application will only take more than ten years - in this era, it can be regarded as "contemporary" within half a century, only in a few small countries in Northern Europe, specific rich hibernation areas are used more, because the scale of hibernation there is very small, if you don't use high-frequency hibernation, a awakened person may wake up every time, it will be similar to staying in a coffin. This technique can better plan the appearance time of people, so that the awakened person will not be so lonely.

There are no such hibernation areas in South Korea, and there is no professional equipment to produce them - so we have to ship a few sets from the Netherlands. In addition, it will have to negotiate terms with the hibernation area, unless Coke buys a new one here.

All these things add up, even for Coke, it takes two or three days. In fact, Coke still prefers to let Wu Zhe go to Northern Europe, or even go to the Netherlands to hibernate - but because of the impact of the previous case, Wu Zhe has already gained a bad reputation there, and he is afraid that it will be embarrassing to encounter the hibernation area and join this "not serving Wu Zhe" action.

For Wu Zhe, more importantly, Jeju Island is not far from the country, in Qimo's words, if he were a person, he could swim back - in the past, it may have been a joke, but it is not particularly difficult here, there are many artificial islands for sightseeing and vacation in the East China Sea, some of which are filled out from the bottom of the sea, just like the kind of resort where Lao Hou lives after retirement, and there are also brackets like drilling # platforms, and some are simply floating, and they also have a little power system. It is not difficult for a swimmer to relay down the islands one by one.

The hibernation area where Wu Zhe is now located is called "Peak", which is a very clichéd way of naming - presumably referring to the so-called upper-class people who live here. The hibernation area is different from other underground hibernations, where the hibernation area is located between the mountainsides, the entire mountain is almost dug through, and in the top membership package, each resident has his own villa, even during his hibernation, which is not used by anyone else.

On the top of the hill there is the most expensive vertical take-off and landing apron, where the standard and military airfields are, according to the staff of the hibernation area, are of the same level; There was a large golf course at the foot of the hill, but no one was seen swinging, only a few fully automatic lawn mowers running around on it; There are countless yachts moored in the harbor, flying all kinds of flags, from small boats of several hundred tons, to professional cruise ships of thousands of tons, and even icebreakers to the North and South poles; The hibernation area also specially selected a number of "professional hibernation service personnel", basically bought from the awakening market, including the most beautiful women, bodyguards, game design teams - yes, games in this era have also begun to be personalized, and rich people like to play whatever game they like, they can find someone to do it themselves, and even find someone to play with them.

But this service doesn't seem to be very popular, in the words of Qimo, game creation is also a kind of creation, and if it becomes a purposeful thing, then the product can only be a rich man's YY tool - even if you spend money to raise a group of players to, then what's the point? It's not as realistic as those batch AI in the game market in the past.

Two days later, the professional high-frequency hibernation cabinet was transported, as Qimo said, this high-frequency hibernation room looks like an enlarged version of the microwave oven - when it is time to sleep at night, he can lie in it as usual, put on a special "hibernation pajamas", when he sleeps the deepest, the blood vessels will be quickly injected with antifreeze, and then the entire hibernation suit will be quickly cooled with high-flow liquid nitrogen in a few tenths of a second, so fast cooling, he can't even feel the cold, he has been frozen, So there is no need for even basic anesthesia.

The interval between awakenings was initially set at 6 years, which was the conclusion that Cola had come to after investigating the pinnacle and several other hibernation zones in the vicinity - and the smallest common multiple of the hibernation interval for those who had awakened in the published hibernation records in this area, waking up every 6 years, theoretically speaking, Wu Zhe could come into contact with more of the same kind of people.

This is Wu Zhe's third hibernation, as the saying goes, one is born, two are ripe, in the words of the hibernation era, three hibernations, is enough to produce "addiction".

When Wu Zhe first lay down in the hibernation cabinet, he was terminally ill, and the hibernation cabinet was almost the same as the refrigerated cabinet in the morgue to him; The second time I lay in, I had nothing, no relatives, no friends, some money, but in theory it was all borrowing, and only an endless, unknown future awaited me; And this time, he has a lot of money, but he begins to hesitate and doubt the future.

But in any case, maybe it was the habit of hibernation that made him no longer afraid and resistant to hibernation, maybe as many people said, he was addicted to this behavior, but Wu Zhe preferred to believe that it was human instinctive curiosity that prompted him to continue to move forward in this endless river of time.
