[Morning International: On January 15, 2030, Li Qian, the world's top human biologist, decided to implement a cryonics program because he was suffering from advanced lung cancer, hoping to thaw and cure himself in the next ten to fifty years when medicine is highly developed. 】

[Morning International: In 2060, the third world nuclear war is nearing its end, and countries can no longer bear the losses caused by the three nuclear wars, and have signed armistice agreements, and the world's population has plummeted to 100 million......]

……

【Warning! This is the Cryonics Base, the reserve energy is about to run out, the cryonics program will end in three hours, and you will be forcibly awakened. 】

【Warning! You have been forcibly awakened, it is now 32148 AD, you have been frozen for 30,000 and 120 years, and this freezing project is completely over. I regret to inform you that due to the impact of the world's nuclear war, medical technology has regressed to the early 19th century, and your cancer is still incurable......

[Warning, the energy has been depleted, the dawning system has been taken offline, respected human biologist Li Qian, goodbye! ] 】

……

"The new AR reality virtual game is on sale! 100% realistic scene simulation, the most immersive experience! ”

"Buy Dawn now and start your second life!"

The huge fuchsia stereoscopic projection like a god, enthusiastically repeating the advertising slogan, makes people's hearts surge.

Under the colorful neon lights, the mechanical repair shop hidden on the street corner looks particularly dilapidated.

The young mechanic sat in the doorway, and the sewage flowed down the ditch into the gutter under his feet.

He lit the cigarette and took a deep breath, the smoke swept through the vicissitudes of life, listening to the mechanical repetition of the advertising slogan, and laughed at himself: games can start a second life, but I can't.

The mechanic is none other than Li Qian, a scientist who chose to freeze himself 30,000 years ago.

He thought that in a maximum of fifty years, mankind would be able to overcome cancer, but he did not expect that ten years after freezing himself, the world would break out three nuclear wars that lasted for a full fifty years.

As a result, mankind began to frantically study all kinds of military technology, and countless resources were consumed under the great stride.

However, people's livelihood technology has stagnated, and even regressed.

When starry solo flying ships and small, faster-than-light spaceships streak across the sky, there are slums below that can't even deal with sewage discharge;

Laser guns, mechanical prosthetics, androids...... All kinds of products that once appeared only in science fiction novels are now walking alive and well, but most people are unable to solve the problem of food and clothing due to the impact of nuclear war.

This is a deformed world with a deviated timeline, a world that makes Li Qian desperate.

"Boss Li, I heard that the people of the Tianmu Group were driven away by you again? Don't you really think about accepting their invitation? That's the world's largest chaebol group that developed the Dawn game, after the ruins! If you can become their researcher, you can get out of the slums and rise to the sky in one step! ”

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in Li Qian's ears, completely interrupting his thoughts.

In the shop, a black-robed man dismantled his high-precision artificial prosthesis, and said with curiosity on his face.

Dawn, the world's largest virtual reality game, claims to be 100% realistic.

Holographic imaging technology, surreal world simulation and other advantages, it almost includes more than 90% of the human user group. The remaining 10 percent is mostly because they can't afford realistic equipment.

Half a month ago, they sent Li Qian three consecutive invitations to become a researcher of the group.

If someone else were invited by such a giant group, I am afraid that they would have been ecstatic.

But for him, a dying man, the so-called future is not attractive at all.

Li Qian smiled, and said: "Tianmu Group, after the nuclear war, relied on the rapid rise of pre-war science and technology, it is said that five of the seven satellite fortresses have their capital injection. ”

"The No. 1 Research Institute of the No. 1 Satellite City has 80 percent of the controlling stake in them."

"The First Research Institute was established by the only remaining scientists in various places after the nuclear war, and it pioneered technologies such as simulators, virtual reality, and individual warships, and is now the world's highest scientific and technological research and development center."

He looked at the man with a smile and said with a smile: "Lao Zhang, this is the third time you have persuaded me to join today, I'm afraid it's not just for my future." ”

Lao Zhang, after the first time he repaired at home, was amazed by his own skills, and since then he has become a loyal customer of the repair shop.

was punctured, Lao Zhang was not embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Didn't there be a saying before the era, let one person attain the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven, if you become it, I will also drink the soup." ”

In today's world, people regard the pre-nuclear world as the pre-epoch world.

"If they can cure me, why not let you be a chicken dog once."

Li Qian frowned without a trace, felt that his lungs seemed to hurt even more, and coughed vigorously twice.

In a moment, he let go of the palm covering his mouth, and a little blush came into view.

When Lao Zhang saw this scene, he shook his head regretfully: "Your tuberculosis is always not good, if you join the heavenly canopy, maybe you can ascend to the upper level and find a cure." ”

Speaking of this, he showed a look of reverence on his face: "I heard that the place where the upper class people live, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and there is no pollution, just like a paradise, it will definitely help your illness." ”

Li Qian wiped the blood at will and looked up at the sky.

Under the lead-gray clouds, from time to time eagle-like individual combat ships whizzed by.

Above the clouds, there is a huge shadow like a kunpeng, which is the sacred place in the hearts of all the lower classes.

A steel city that never falls, known as the city that never sleeps——

Starship!

After a while, he withdrew his gaze and muttered in a voice that only he could hear, "The upper class...... It's not useful. ”

As a former top human biologist, he has thoroughly understood today's top technologies such as simulators and neural networks in half a month.

In order to study the possibility of virtual reality as a cure for cancer, he also openly invaded the canopy, as well as the starship's core database.

It is precisely because of this that the canopy notices itself.

Having mastered all the advanced technology of today, Li Qian came to a conclusion.

There is no cure for cancer either!

The hint of the dawn is true, even after 30,000 years, cancer is still a terminal disease with no cure.

Lao Zhang removed his prosthetic leg and put it on the counter at the door: "It's your own business whether to join or not, but it's not a matter for you to stay in the shop every day, I heard that they are developing a new game, to restore the world before the nuclear war, do you want to buy it and play it?" I heard that the world before the nuclear war was completely different from what it is now! ”

Pre-nuclear ...... The world?

Li Qian was slightly stunned, and countless pictures suddenly passed in front of him.

Blue sky and white clouds, green grass and green trees, rushing and roaring rivers, clean streets.

"yes...... It's completely different. There was a look of remembrance in his eyes.

Perhaps, it was a mistake to choose to live until now.

Compared with today's smoke and dust, he would rather die in the green mountains and green waters.

"I knew you were interested." Lao Zhang patted his prosthetic leg and staggered on one leg, "The money and things are here, I'll get them tomorrow." ”

Li Qian's repair speed is notoriously fast in this piece, and his techniques and techniques are top-notch.

Everyone thought that this sick young man was a nobleman from the upper echelons.

But Li Qian never admitted this in public, and the neighbors could only talk about it in private.

Sending Lao Zhang away, Li Qian dropped the roller shutter door, walked back to the house quickly, and turned over the body scanner assembled by himself from the bottom of the counter.

A burst of blue light swept across his body, revealing a string of text on the screen.

"Cancer cell spread: 64%"

Li Qian suddenly fell silent.

Tested half a month ago, it is still 50%.

In just half a month, the cancer cells have spread by 14%.

At this level of diffusion, it is estimated that they will not survive for more than a month.

After all, it's in the late stages!

"Really...... Hades told you to die for the third watch, who can keep me until the fifth watch. ”

After being silent for a long time, Li Qian took out a pen and paper and quickly wrote down a note.

Immediately, he packed his bags and stuck the note in the crack of the door.

After taking two steps out, he seemed to hesitate, and then turned around and put the key in the mailbox at the door, and then left with peace of mind.

The wind brought by the footsteps just exposed the side full of words.

"Lao Zhang, I'm going back to my hometown, I don't think I'll come back in the future, I can't repair your prosthetic leg, this shop still has half a month to expire, I should compensate you for the repair fee, the key is in the mailbox."

In the dim mist, Li Qian's back gradually drifted away, like a traveler in the past years.

……

Half a day later, he returned to the institute.

"Turn on the lights."

A hoarse voice rang out, and the incandescent light illuminated the entire research institute again.

Li Qian stood in the laboratory, looked around, and finally landed on the freezer.

"Where you come from, you go from there, this can be regarded as a beginning and an end."

He smiled wryly, put down his bag, took out the toiletries from it, and seriously carried out the last cleaning.

As a person of the old times, he should die in the relics of the old times.

After cleaning, he packed his bags and sat down in the freezer.

Just as he was about to lie down, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something different.

In the corner, a potted plant is emitting a faint light.

On the branches, even a green leaf sprouted.

He was stunned for a moment, and then his heart was shocked.

This bonsai ...... But a plant from 30,000 years ago!

How is it possible to be alive?!
