Hou Zhen's funeral was on an ordinary morning, and in the center of the hall of the funeral home was Hou Zhen's body, and a tablet was placed upright on it—replacing the position of the photograph in Wu Zhe's impression. The computer shows all the video footage of Hou Zhen: thinking in class, running on the football field, subduing criminals in police uniforms, aiming at the shooting range......

In order to show solemnity, all the pictures are tuned to black and white, and there is no sound, it looks like a black and white pantomime from the time when the film was just born. The funeral company also made special cuts to the video, and there were freeze-frame close-ups in some of the more important video frames, with subtitles - in general, this is a documentary about Hou Zhen's life.

There were about forty or fifty people who came to the funeral, most of them police. Wu Zhe tried to find the people he was familiar with in the crowd, but failed.

The funeral in this era is not the same as the group ceremony in which everyone gathers around the body in Wu Zhe's imagination, but the mourning in this era is separate - after the ceremony officially begins, everyone lines up outside the mourning room, and then enters the room one by one. Whenever someone enters, the glass of the memorial room automatically adjusts to black, isolating the inside and outside of the view, so that the mourners have the opportunity to contact the body alone.

When there was a glass outside, Wu Zhe couldn't actually see Hou Zhen's face clearly. But when he mourned alone, he was only one meter away from Hou Zhen's body, and he saw the lying old man in front of him, who was already a complete stranger to himself. Time on his face, on his body. left too deep traces, Wu Zhe had to use the video to connect the old man in front of him with the Hou Zhen in his impression.

6o years, for himself, 6o years ago was yesterday, and the last time he and Hou Zhen met was a month or two ago. From waking up to the present, although Wu Zhe intellectually accepts the idea that he has been hibernating for 6o years, but in reality. His mind was still stuck in the past. It can even be said that it is stuck in its own time.

In the age of hibernation, everyone became a guest of the world.

Hou Zhen's brother wanted to stay with him for a meal, but Wu Zhewan refused. Wait until you get in the car. Qimo, who was installed in his mobile phone, reminded: "You shouldn't refuse. He seems to have something to do with you. ”

There is a regulation of AI technology in China. Coke in Amsterdam, this is something that will not change in the next 6o years, in any case. If he wants to communicate with Wu Zhe remotely in the Netherlands, according to the interpretation of domestic law, it is illegal. So Wu Zhe can only bring Qi Mo with him - he is the only one who doesn't know what to do, and following Wu Zhe is an acceptable option for him, so that when Wu Zhe hibernates, he will naturally hibernate.

So Wu Zhe got out of the car again, turned back and gave Hou Dong a contact information - that was to contact Coke.

……

Noah's area is no different from what he remembers, but the people he is familiar with are almost gone, and the current size of the security officer has dropped again, Wu Zhe casually flipped through the complaints on the webpage of the hibernation area, and no one seemed to bother with rats anymore, or where the power and water leakage and the like.

My room was still there, and no one lived in it. Wu Zhe rented this room for one day with a month's rent. The room seems to have been renovated, but the daily necessities in it have changed the style, but the difference is not much, it seems that there are more tables and computers than I remembered, and I had to pay for them before.

Wu Zhe lay back on the bed, recalling his life here for more than half a year, as if his current self was just a continuation of that half-year life.

Until a voice interrupted Wu Zhe's memories.

"Wu Zhe, there's something I want to tell you." Keimer and Coke have different personalities, Coke is more like Wu Zhe and only speaks when necessary, but Keimer seems to be more lively - which doesn't quite match its name.

"Hmm."

"I entered your mailbox just now without your permission."

"Huh?" Wu Zhe picked up his mobile phone and opened his mailbox by the way—there were about 30,000 unreceived emails.

"Has my email address been made public?"

"Yes," said Keimer, "Coke has made a movie about you, and for the sake of publicity, released some of your information, do you need me to help you sort it out?" ”

Wu Zhe browses roughly the same in chronological order. In the past few days, most of them are concerned about themselves, saying that they are people who support AI, and there are also some people who oppose him and scold themselves openly; A few months to more than ten years ago, most of them were selling themselves, saying that they had dreams of hibernation about themselves - and then recommended ideas, hoping to cooperate with Qizhi, etc., and there were also many women who were promoting themselves and sending themselves photos, among these people, some of them in order to show their sincerity, and even many of them gave their own right to wake up.

"Let's tidy it up." In the face of a vast number of emails, Wu Zhe himself relied on his own eyes to see, how could it take several days of effort.

Soon, the number of unread emails began to get smaller and smaller, and when the number became O, Qimo automatically opened the inbox, and the first few emails were marked.

Wu Zhe opened the first letter, and inside was a painting, the painting Wu Zhe was very familiar, almost subconsciously, he dragged the letter down, and sure enough, below was a very familiar smiling face and name - Anna.

The email was two days ago -- it seems that many people in this world are like Lu Jingwen, who "followed" themselves. In her heart, Anna mentions that she came to Wu Zhe this time to raise money for her spaceship project. She will wake up in this era for three months, and if Wu Zhe sees her email and is interested in her project during this time, he can write back to her.

Finally, there was the address of the spaceship website, and Wu Zhe clicked on it.

The website is more complex than I think, and there is a lot more content. Wu Zhe remembers that when he saw this 6o years ago, the website looked more like a forum, with a group of people talking about all kinds of ideas and some basic fundraising progress. But now there are a lot of design drawings - all very detailed and professional industrial design drawings, some of which are instantly recognizable. It's a spaceship, and some of them look very strange, I don't know if it's a specific part, or a related facility.

Underneath each drawing, there are a whole bunch of units that have been reviewed and certified. From any part on the design drawing, you can directly find the individual design drawing of the part, the relevant processing manufacturers, and detailed technical information.

Qi Mo counted that the large and small drawings of the entire website added up, and there were forty or fifty total design drawings. If you count all the parts. The facilities, the tool design, is almost astronomical. What's even more surprising is that these drawings are all free. The website is not only free to download. You can even contact those manufacturers through the guò website - in theory. As long as you have the money and place an order with the manufacturer, these spaceships can be built immediately. This site is more than happy to support people doing this.

But why haven't these ships been in space yet -- the comments below those blueprints have given the best answer -- weight, weight, weight.

Even the lightest, most conservative spacecraft orbiting the Earth, which can barely be called a space station, weighs more than 1,000 tons. According to Qimo, if these weights are shot by rockets, even if they are calculated according to the thrust of a giant rocket of 5o tons, they will have to be spliced together with 2o shots.

It has been more than 17o years since the time of Wu Zhe and two centuries since the time of the Apollo moon landing, but the eyes of mankind do not seem to turn to the sky. According to the information gathered by Qimo Understanding, the focus of countries in the field of technology is still on the further application of intelligent technology and newer computer principles. Even in these areas, progress has been lackluster, and the concept of a quantum computer has been shouted for two centuries, but now there is not even a real prototype, and it is still in the theoretical era.

"Scientific research is a kind of innovation, and what is needed most is enthusiasm for life." Enlightenment seems to have its own opinion on this issue, "Humanity now...... This enthusiasm for life is already lacking. ”

"I think you're the same, haven't you been waiting for hibernation all the time?"

"So I'm more like you guys in that sense," Keimer said, "are you going to contact her?" ”

Wu Zhe nodded: "You can help me go back...... Let's just say I'm interested in this project, and I can make an appointment to talk about it online. ”

In addition to Anna's letter, there are several letters from Shi Cheng, which are also the projects mentioned on the phone last time, and this time I also sent a lot of detailed project technical information.

"Anyway, I can't understand it, so you can help me see it by the way."

"I don't understand it either," Qi Zhi's words surprised Wu Zhe, "unless you give me a professional computer...... If you want to understand it all on your phone, it can take months. ”

"I thought you were ...... Everything......"

"Even if Coke only gave him the computing resources of a mobile phone, he would not be able to give the results of this data in a few minutes...... I don't understand it, but from my personal point of view, these projects should be much more feasible than your ship. ”

"How so?"

"Because these projects are all very professional research, and your spacecraft is already a systems engineering, and it is a system engineering that a country cannot complete in a short period of time, look at this ......"

Wu Zhe watched Qimo open the webpage for himself, and it was the people in the forum who were arguing, if according to the existing design drawings, how much national financial resources would be needed to shoot the largest spaceship -- the results were very optimistic, as long as the average person in China could make up this money for six months of hibernation within 1o years -- not only to build a spaceship, but also to consider everything from the basic electromagnetic catapult device to the construction of several important supply stations in space.

But the reality is that people would rather wait an extra six months in a hibernation cabinet than make such an attempt at that cost. Of course, Keimer took into account more shady things on this point - if a group of people really walked out of Earth in a spaceship, would the people who hibernated on Earth still be able to sleep peacefully?

According to what Qi Mo said, on the earth now, the mainstream propaganda and public opinion is -- the present day is very good, very good, it is the best era in the history of human civilization, everyone should eat, drink, sleep, let the people do the work, the government will help you take care of it, and let ten thousand hearts go. It's okay not to keep thinking about hibernation, the future may be dangerous, and don't think about outer space, most planets are not suitable for human survival, even if you go, you can't live a better life than on the earth, so take a look at it from afar with a telescope, and you will have it after the eyes, or the earth is good, and the most meaningful life should be to live this life on the earth with peace of mind.

"I've seen an AI, there aren't many people who talk like you...... Wu Zhe laughed after hearing it, "It seems a little, cynical." ”

"There are a lot of people like me," Qimo said, "In the past, when everyone made movies together, I didn't have to be responsible for anything, just complaining...... But I talked too much, and I didn't feel bored. I can understand why most people hibernate, because the reality is really boring, every day is repetitive, people need freshness, and we need it. But the world is creating zào freshness so quickly...... Only hibernation is equivalent to increasing the dose in disguise. ”

"By the way, when are you going to start hibernation? When will it end? ”

"I haven't figured it out yet." Wu Zhe's attitude towards hibernation has always been ambivalent. He didn't have much affection for hibernation, but intellectually he knew that it was impossible for him to leave hibernation - seeing Hou Zhen's body this morning strengthened his confidence. But when it came time to think about it, I couldn't face him squarely.

This kind of situation is like a death row prisoner who knows that he will be executed after all, but deliberately does not count the days, does not calculate how long that day is left.

"I do have a Jianyì," Qimo said, "and it is also a hibernation method that has only become popular in the last dozen years or so." ”

"Tell me about it."

"This method is called multiple hibernation method, also known as high-frequency hibernation method, first of all, the time interval between each awakening and hibernation is fixed, take a fixed number, such as 1 month, 2 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years...... There are many such points in time online. And then this hibernation wakes up for one day each time -- when you fall asleep that day, when you wake up, it's time to wake up next.

The advantage of this hibernation method is that every time you wake up, the contact with the group will be more fixed, the sense of time passage will be more stable, it is not easy to have the psychological problem of irregular hibernation, and it is convenient for you to adjust the hibernation plan by yourself - if you want to increase the hibernation time, you can adjust it from 1 month to 2 months, or longer - in this way, you can be very emotional, from the change degree of contact with the fixed population, you have a grasp of the degree of hibernation.

Just like driving a car, you always have to find some fixed references to know how fast you drive, so that you can know whether to add or subtract. In the past, hibernation was to treat people as goods, stuff them in the car, and take them out at the station, but the high-frequency hibernation method is much better, at least you can see the scenery along the way. ”

"But I've heard...... Isn't there a limit to the shortest hibernation interval? ”

"That was before," said Keimer, "because there was no way to solve the problem of safe thawing, and antifreeze had to be injected into the blood." Because antifreeze has a certain amount of time to metabolize, it is necessary to set a minimum hibernation interval...... But now it's all microwave thawing - it's like a microwave oven, an instant, very precise instant warming of the whole body, of course, this method will cost much more than regular hibernation, but the last thing you need right now is money.
