Chapter Seventy-Two: Death in the Afternoon
Death in the afternoon.
It's a cocktail.
Lightly stirred with a dash of vermouth and champagne on the rocks.
After drinking it, you will wake up after excessive lethargy at noon.
It is also Hemingway's most commonly drunk cocktail, and as for whether it is a favorite, that's another story.
Li Lun woke up in the middle of the afternoon class.
The first thing I felt was the stuffiness and dizziness, like a moment of awakening after a hangover.
He got up, touched his head, and rubbed his eyes.
Looking around, in the middle of a university classroom, a geography professor in the audience is slowly talking about the scale and ecological changes of continental migration.
The steady voice and slow tone do have a hypnotic effect.
"I think I've had a long dream......"
Li Lun shook his head, remembering that he had come to listen to the geography class in order to save credits.
As a result, I didn't know why I was sleepy for some reason, so I fell asleep.
"So, what is the main body of our main disaster early warning system? Do any classmates answer it? ”
“…… Well, I'll add if not. ”
"We mainly take 3S as the main body, total station, GIS ....."
The professor is still lecturing, but looking at it, there are only a dozen people in this subject, and maybe there are a few who want to get an impression score like Li Lun.
"Li Lun, will you wait for the friendship? I made an appointment with the young lady from the Foreign Language Institute. ”
When he was still confused, a whisper came, and Li Lun turned his head to look, it turned out to be his old friend, Ah Zhi.
Ah Zhi wears a pair of myopic glasses, and he is a little fat, but he talks a lot, and he is very good at coaxing girls, and there are girls around him.
Li Lun scratched his head, frowned and replied, "Okay." ”
He was still remembering the dream he had had, which was too long and very clear.
The most important thing is that, for some reason, he suddenly learned a lot of strange knowledge.
There is even incredible technical data on the so-called principle of nuclear fusion.
It seems that as long as he wants to do it, he can lead humanity into a new era.
"How is it possible, it may not be successful to launch a satellite now, space or something, thinking too much."
"However, the Great Xia Empire in the dream is really powerful, across the galaxy, interesting...."
Li Lun laughed, just thought he had an interesting dream, quickly relaxed, and waited for the end of the class.
Soon.
Li Lun and his old friend Ah Zhi walked out of the university town and headed to the Akibara neighborhood, one of the busiest areas around Third City University.
Countless college students are swaying their youth here.
In this world, mankind has become a federal government, and since the 18th generation, there have been no wars, and there has never been a worry about resources.
All people enjoy a 16-year free education system, as long as they pass the grades and complete their studies, they can basically guarantee employment without worries.
For more than 200 years, happy education has been continuously increased, and basically everyone can complete their studies.
This is also the reason why hedonism prevails.
However, there has not been a big leap forward in science and technology, at least in today's view of Li Lun, the pace of development of science and technology is very strange.
It's just that I don't have a clue, so I'll forget it for the time being.
However, it is worth mentioning that cats are specially protected animals here, and there are super giant cat statues standing in every city.
It's a bit religious.
When I came to the Akibara neighborhood, I quickly contacted a woman from another college, and we went to the KTV to have fun together.
One thing to say, Li Lun's appearance is not bad, and many women have already regarded him as tonight's dinner, and they give him flattering glances from time to time.
If it was usual, Li Lun would have accepted it happily a long time ago.
It's just that for some reason, there's no interest today.
He touched his head and said, "Ah... I have a bit of a headache today, maybe I drank too much last night, and I went out to breathe. ”
"Cut, you're not going to fix ten thousand lovers, that thing isn't going to be good." Ah Zhi laughed.
"Falk U..."
Under the ridicule of everyone, Li Lun walked out of the KTV and exhaled a few breaths outside.
"What's wrong with me today?"
Confused, he walked to a convenience store, came to the cigarette cabinet, and stopped with the hand he was about to pick up a cigarette.
"I don't feel like I want to draw that much, forget it."
Turned around to the beverage area and picked up a bottle of carbonated soda, with a D icon painted on it, it was a can of caramel carbonated drink, which tasted weird, but Li Lun just liked the taste.
Li Lun, who was holding a drink, walked in the direction of KTV, he looked up at the sky, and he could see a few traces left by the airliner.
As he walked back, he heard two men talking about something, one in a suit and leather shoes, and the other in casual clothes.
It's a courtyard within the street, with large parasols on top of them and two drinks on a modern round table and chairs.
And the topic they talked about also made Li Lun stop.
"Forget it, Lao Luo, stop thinking about your fission energy, how many scientists gave up two hundred years ago, why do you bother researching."
"Even if you get it, what can you do, and now everyone is not short of energy."
The man in the suit sighed and persuaded the man named Lao Luo.
"Dr. Ohki, I know that even if I research fission energy, it will be useless, but this is at least one direction, we can't rely on a single energy source, so where is the future of mankind?"
"Are we going to stay on the planet like this all the time?"
Rorschach is a standard national character face, and he does not agree with Damu's remarks, and he is serious.
Da Mu shook his head, "In short, our Federal Research Council will not approve your application, give up, Lao Luo, I am also for your good." ”
"I know your talents best, and it won't be a problem for you to change your career to study other disciplines."
"Otherwise, we plan to build an online world based on the virtual space, and I recommend you to be the manager."
"When the project is completed and you win the scientific research award, your scientific career will not be in vain."
The two seem to be talking about energy.
In this world, energy doesn't seem to be a problem at all, Li Lun has never thought about where this abundant energy comes from, and everyone naturally enjoys this endless energy.
This happened to be where Li Lun felt strange, it was nothing before, and when he woke up today, he instinctively noticed that something was wrong.
And when Rorschach heard that Damu was going to establish a virtual space, his heart was also darkened, and he sighed: "If human beings are silent in the virtual world, there will be no way to get out of the starry sky." ”
"Hey, you don't have to be so pessimistic, there is still a long way to go...."Da Mu was continuing to comfort Rorschach, but saw a young man standing not far away.
Then he said strangely, "Students of the Third University, is there something wrong with you?" ”
Rorschach also turned his head to look over, and he didn't pay attention to Li Lun's fancy dress after seeing it, these hedonistic college students basically don't know anything about cutting-edge technology.
Li Lun was still holding the bottle of carbonated soda in his hand, and condensed droplets of water slipped down his fingertips.
He thought for a moment and said, "The two of you are scientists, I'm quite interested in the fission energy that this gentleman said, can you listen to it?" ”
