“…… Is there a serialization of that book today? ”

The old man held his cane in one hand and the window edge of the balcony with the other.

It was drizzling outside the house today, and the old man didn't go out after dinner.

Standing on the edge of this balcony, listening to the sound of the drizzle outside the house and the branches and leaves of some trees,

The nurse stood beside the old man, and from time to time raised his head to look out of the window and at the old man leaning against the window.

The old man, who had been looking out of the window for a long time and had not spoken, suddenly turned his head sideways and asked.

The caregiver knew which book the old man would ask again.

"You mean the Seven Days of Hell, I haven't updated today's chapters yet. It should be later. ”

The nurse lowered his head and refreshed his phone with his phone.

This is the second time the old man has asked today, and the last time was in the afternoon.

The old man nodded, and said no more.

I just groped for the edge of the window, turned over a little more, and looked out of the window with the fresh breeze blowing in the moisture.

"Uncle Yu, should we go back to the house, it's easy to catch a cold when the wind blows on this balcony."

The nurse looked at the drizzle that was carried by the wind to the edge of the window from time to time, and said something to the old man.

“…… When a person is old, he is not only blind in his eyes, but also in his ears. ”

“…… When it rains, you can't see the rain, but you still want to hear the sound of the rain, and you can't hear it when you stay in the house. ”

The old man paused as he spoke, but still groped around to walk back into the house.

The nurse next to him hurriedly stepped forward to help.

"Jingle bells, jingle bells......"

At this time, the old man's mobile phone suddenly rang, and someone called.

The ringtone of the mobile phone made the old man pause,

"Uncle Yu, I'll pick it up for you."

"No, I'll try, the answer button should be on the right."

"Uncle Yu, you have a really good memory."

"After using it for so long, you can't tell the difference between left and right?"

The old man picked up the phone, and first heard the nurse's words with a smile on his face,

Then the smile faded.

When does he need to be praised for a phone call?

The nurse next to him saw that the old man was calling, but he didn't say anything more.

The old man put his phone to his ear as well.

“…… I'm Yu Mingzhi, give me the phone. ”

The person on the other end of the line said.

"I'm listening."

The old man paused, and answered his son's words.

“…… Ah, Dad...... I've already read the novel "Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" you mentioned earlier. ”

“…… It's very well written, it's solidly written, the details are in place, and the story development is unconventional, which is indeed very suitable for adaptation into anime. Moreover, the results of the original author's last two books are better than the other, and it can be expected that it will definitely not be a loss to start now. Dad, you have such a good eye. ”

The old man's son said loudly on the other end of the phone.

"Less sycophancy. Bought it? ”

"I've basically determined my intention, and I'm still talking to the first novel. It should be no problem. ”

"I used to read another book by this author, and now this book is also very good, and I originally wanted to buy the copyright, but the asking price of the first reading novel is too high, and now the new book "Seven Days of Hell" is obviously still rising rapidly, and the first reading novel will definitely not be willing to sell it when the potential has not fully exploded."

"yes, I see."

The old man answered, and did not say anything about it.

“…… Well, Dad, after the copyright of "Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" is in hand, the company's newly formed animation department should also be officially operational, and this animation work should be our first work into animation...... Hopefully it's off to a good start. ”

"Okay, I see. You're going about your business. ”

And then again,

The old man ended the call.

After a pause, I was about to put away my phone,

At this time, the caregiver next to him saw that the old man had ended the call.

Told the old man the news again.

"Uncle Yu, the book "Seven Days of Hell" has been updated today."

"Really?"

The old man who paused, turned to the side, and with a smile on his face, answered.

On the other side,

In the office of Pioneer Media,

The old man's son Yu Mingzhi hung up the phone,

Sitting in the chair, he paused again,

"Xiao Qian, when I talk about copyright transactions with Shiyue.com later, I will ask again if the copyright of "Seven Days of Hell" is sold, but the price will be increased appropriately."

"Okay, I see, Mr. Yu."

……

"Crackling ......"

Today, Ji Zhuo talked to the editor about the sale of copyrights.

So much so that a lot of time was delayed.

It wasn't until this point, when it was completely dark outside, that he finished writing today's update.

"Hoo ......"

Ji Zhuo stopped tapping on the keyboard in his hand,

The crackling keyboard also died down in the study, and the study was quiet again.

Ji Zhuo let out a long sigh,

Then look at the content of the chapters that filled the computer screen and write a few chapters today, and at the same time see if there are any typos and corrections.

Today's updated plot continues to build on the original plot progression.

At this particular meeting,

A somewhat agitated professor revealed the most brutal truth, that is, there is no way for humanity to determine the cause of blindness for all of humanity, and it is impossible to conduct a deeper study.

There is nothing humanity can do about it.

thereupon

The theme of the second half of the conference,

Naturally, it turns to some of the extended problems that will arise in the case of all human blindness, and how to deal with them.

“…… There is nothing we can do about our vision loss. But we can still expect some of the problems we are about to face. ”

“…… Guys, since we are in a short period of time, or even for a long time to come, we will not be able to solve the problem of our visual loss.

Then we have to think about surviving for a long time and preparing for the worst in the case of visual loss. As experts in your field, let's talk about the problems we are facing and how to solve them. ”

“…… Social order, social productivity, scientific research capacity...... These, after we lose our vision, are basically cut directly to the end. ”

“…… We still have a certain amount of grain reserves and resources, and under the current temporary military rationing system, the issue of social production is actually not the most important, and we still have some time. ”

“…… I think that the first problem that we encounter is actually the problem of social order, and in the present, there is still the inertia of the original normal society, but soon, when everyone realizes that everyone has lost their vision, they will naturally realize that we have lost the ability to maintain a large part of the order, and this will lead to some chaos, and these chaos will lead to a greater degree of chaos.

For example, our Skynet system, after the loss of vision, naturally loses its original role.

Also, to give a not-so-appropriate example, if I, or one of us, are suddenly killed right now. Who is the murderer?

The existence that needs to maintain order requires people to have reverence, so ...... I suggest that I don't make an announcement, all of us have lost our sight, at least there should be, there are a small number of 'lucky ones', they are not blind.

In such a situation, we must maintain order in order to make it possible for human civilization to continue.

Secondly, there are other problems in social production and various fields.

Some high-tech fields may be difficult to sustain.

Our electronic communications could be lost, our transportation could be paralyzed, and our medical standards could plummet.

Our scientific capacity could be severely weakened.

Because most of our equipment and instruments are guided by the reception of visual information as the final result,

If we need to observe, we need to use our eyes, and if we need to detect, we need eyes...... As long as people need to participate in the process of experimentation, experimentation, most of them need to use vision. ”
