The early morning sunlight shines warmly through the window.
Li Xiao and Zhu Ningyun opened their eyes to welcome this ray of sunshine.
Although I knew it was fake, it was so fake that it was no different from the real thing, and I could even feel the temperature of the sun.
What's the difference between that and the truth?
Li Xiao can no longer tell the difference between true and false in this world.
When true and false, false is also true; when false is true, true is also false.
"An hour left."
Li Xiao got up and washed up with Zhu Ningyun. In this world, even washing your face and brushing your teeth are easy. The special face wash has strong cleaning power. The oil on your face is instantly cleaned up, and the same goes for brushing your teeth.
The two sat on the sofa and turned on a projected movie to watch.
The movies in this world are equally real, dozens of levels better than naked-eye 3D, and the pictures are immersive.
Li Xiao chose a movie about the age of dinosaurs, similar to Jurassic Century. The plot is also very simple, about primitive people surviving in the cracks of the dinosaur age.
Those dinosaurs are a little different from the dinosaurs in the Jurassic Century movie series that I remember. Maybe these are the real dinosaurs that have been restored.
The movie is very realistic. You can stretch out your hand and touch the dinosaur's body, and you can get tactile feedback. The dinosaur's skin is rough and feels like dry leather. The thick cuticle is a means of defense against natural enemies.
"Is this the creature that lived on the Blue Star tens of thousands of years ago?"
Zhu Ningyun felt incredible, and gently stroked a young Megalodon. The dinosaur seemed to feel that someone was touching it, and looked back at Zhu Ningyun. The movie also had interactive effects, but that was all, just a glance. Just go back and it won't affect the plot.
"Yes, it's a dinosaur."
Li Xiao explained: "This was the overlord of Blue Star. It had a long history, longer than humans. It was just limited to their physiological structure and no civilization was born. 65 million years ago, the climate of Blue Star changed suddenly and the temperature dropped significantly. , causing the oxygen content of the atmosphere to drop. Because dinosaurs are cold-blooded animals with no hair or warm-keeping organs, they were unable to adapt to the drop in earth temperature and froze to death. Without civilization, they could not resist nature and adapt to the new environment. This That’s probably the main reason for extinction.”
Zhu Ningyun looked at the vivid world of dinosaurs in front of him, took a long breath and said, "Do you think humans will end up like dinosaurs?"
Li Xiao shook his head: "Don't worry, human beings gave birth to civilization. From the moment they learned to use fire to grill food, they learned to use tools. Tools are also constantly evolving. When it gets cold, we will wear clothes to resist the cold. When it gets hot, it can create air conditioners to keep us cool.”
Speaking of this, Li Xiao suddenly stopped. He thought that it was just the weather. Human beings in his time seemed unable to resist natural disasters.
Human beings are powerless in the face of natural disasters.
I heard that some countries have created weather weapons, but even if they can create weather weapons and create natural disasters, they cannot resist them.
So the technology of this era should be able to withstand natural disasters, right?
But if a world-destroying natural disaster occurs, can it be resisted?
Li Xiao did not inquire about this matter.
There are 2 minutes left and they are leaving here.
Everything has nothing to do with myself.
Time passed by tick by tick.
Jingle bell, jingle bell——
The doorbell outside the door suddenly rang.
This time Li Xiao learned to use Xiaomeng to directly watch the person ringing the doorbell outside. As expected, it was Zhao Dazhi.
After Zhao Dazhi's concert ended last night, he found that Li Xiao had disappeared, but he was so excited throughout the whole process that he didn't notice that Li Xiao had actually left the venue midway.
He thought Li Xiao left after the concert, but he ran away without waiting for him. He was really not a brother.
But when he thought that Li Xiao was not alone now, but had a girlfriend Zhu Yuying, he seemed to understand again. Was he impatient?
So he didn't bother Li Xiao at night, but came over the next day to investigate.
"Do you want to open the door?" Zhu Ningyun asked.
"No." Li Xiao shook his head and was about to leave. It would not be good to disappear in front of Zhao Dazhi then.
Li Xiao rang Zhao Dazhi's doorbell countless times, and countless video calls from him, quietly waiting for the time.
Time counts down.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
time up.
It's nine o'clock sharp. It was also nine o'clock sharp when I came yesterday.
Li Xiao held Zhu Ningyun's hand tightly, but the next second, he did not disappear from this world and return to the Ming Dynasty like last time.
"What's going on? Did I remember the time wrong?"
Li Xiao frowned slightly, not daring to let go of Zhu Ningyun's hand. If he misremembered the time and suddenly went back, leaving Zhu Ningyun in this world, it would be too late to regret it.
"Huh? Why didn't you go back?" Zhu Ningyun looked at Li Xiao.
"Wait a moment." Li Xiao said.
"Okay." Zhu Ningyun said.
"Grab my hand and don't let go." Li Xiao reminded, "No matter when."
"Yes." Zhu Ningyun nodded obediently, leaned on Li Xiao's shoulder, and continued watching the movie.
Ho ho ho——
In the movie, the natives clashed with the dinosaurs and used spears to deal with the dinosaurs. The scene was very shocking.
But Li Xiao's mind was not on this at all.
Time passed little by little.
Until the two-hour movie was completely over, the ending song was played.
The two of them are still in this room.
Zhu Ningyun began to worry a little, could he not go back? She couldn't help but start to get nervous, and her palms began to sweat slightly.
Feeling Ningyun's nervousness, Li Xiao comforted him softly: "It's okay. It's okay. Maybe there's something wrong. Just wait."
Let Xiaomeng play soothing music.
Zhu Ningyun's uneasy heart slowly calmed down. As long as she could see Li Xiao, she would not be so afraid.
One hour.
Two hours.
Three hours.
Until three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Xiao still did not leave.
At this time, beads of sweat were already rolling on Li Xiao's forehead.
He had never been so nervous. Even when he faced the assassinations of the four killers in the Ming Dynasty, Li Xiao always faced them calmly.
But now Li Xiao is afraid.
For the first time, the system lost the effect it was supposed to have.
Twenty-four hours of time travel has exceeded a full six hours.
Something is wrong. There must be something wrong.
Li Xiao carefully recalled everything that had happened in this world, starting from the beginning.
Soon, he discovered a problem that he had ignored all this time.
That's time.
Whether it's his own records or the information obtained from Zhao Dazhi.
The working experience of these two people alone spans nearly hundreds of years.
It's time!
There is a problem with time!
"Come on, we have to find out some things."
Li Xiao pulled Zhu Ningyun to stand up. Ningyun said nothing and became nervous, but she did not dare to make a sound. She just held Li Xiao's hand tightly. She told herself that no matter what the situation, she could not let go.
Pushing open the door, there is a silver-white metal corridor outside.
There are rooms in the corridor, similar to the structure of a hotel, and Li Xiao is one of them.
Li Xiao pressed the door of the room next to his. He knew that this house was Zhao Dazhi's house, and the two of them were adjacent to each other.
"Ding Dong——"
The door opened quickly. After seeing Li Xiao, Zhao Dazhi asked with concern: "Li Xiao, are you okay?"
Li Xiao smiled and said, "It's okay."
Zhao Dazhi breathed a sigh of relief and complained again: "It scared me to death. I almost called the police. Last night you left without saying goodbye and didn't answer the phone. This morning I knocked on the door and you were not there. I thought you were missing."
Li Xiao glanced at Zhu Ningyun, then looked at Zhao Dazhi and explained: "Dazhi, you understand last night."
Zhao Dazhi chuckled and said understandingly: "I understand, I understand. When you have a wife, you will forget about me as a brother. Oops."
With that said, he invited the two people in: "Sister-in-law, please come inside."
Li Xiao took Zhu Ningyun's hand and walked into the house. He found that there were two young people in the house, who looked about the same age as him and looked about eighteen years old.
One is a foreign man with fair skin and blond hair, and the other is a very beautiful woman with many freckles on her face and chestnut hair.
The structure of the house was exactly the same as that of his own house. Li Xiao held Li Xiao's hand and sat on the sofa nearby.
"let me introduce."
Zhao Dazhi introduced with a smile: "This is Ding Junda, and this is Ai Xiangyan. They both just came from the 'Enlightenment District' and are 'newcomers'. The one who just moved here today also lives on our floor." , everyone will be neighbors from now on.”
With that said, Zhao Dazhi introduced Li Xiao to the two people: "This is my best friend Li Xiao, and this is my sister-in-law Zhu Yuying."
The two 'newcomers' immediately stood up respectfully, bowed to Li Xiao and Zhu Ningyun with great respect and said, "Hello, we will be neighbors from now on. Please give me your advice."
Li Xiao was a little uncomfortable being greeted by two people who looked a bit like foreigners, but wore Ming Dynasty clothes and spoke fluent Mandarin.
"Well, from now on we are all neighbors, and we should take care of each other." Li Xiao responded with a smile.
Originally, he came here to ask Zhao Dazhi something.
But now that someone was here, it was hard to say some words, so he could only ask sideways questions.
Also, what exactly is this enlightenment zone?
Thinking of this, Li Xiao smiled and said: "By the way, how about over there in the Enlightenment District? Let's talk about it and let me see if there have been any changes in these years. Is that convenient?"
Speaking of this, Zhao Dazhi was obviously interested and looked over curiously.
"Hey, what's the inconvenience?"
Ding Junda, who looks like a foreigner, said with a smile: "From the time I can remember things, probably when I was 3 years old, it was three o'clock and one line every day. From the dormitory to the college, I just played every day, playing with various toys, and thinking logically. Games. When we are fifteen years old, we can do whatever we want. The college has various hobby classes, and I signed up for painting."
As he said that, he looked at the freckled girl Ai Xiangyan aside and said, "She is my classmate. We are all the same, but she is not very interested in painting and studies music. Right Ai Xiangyan."
Ai Xiangyan nodded, as if she didn't like to talk much. She looked at Li Xiao and smiled shyly, "That's about it."
After listening, Zhao Dazhi smiled and said: "It's no different from what we used to do."
"Indeed." Li Xiao responded.
These conversations brought a lot of information to Li Xiao.
The academy in this enlightenment zone does not teach knowledge from textbooks at all, but trains people's logical thinking ability.
As for hobbies such as painting and music, they stimulate children's creativity and imagination.
Yes, this is a world where knowledge can be implanted directly into the mind.
Knowledge is at your fingertips.
It saves countless people time to study and shortens the cost of cultivating talents.
A thousand ordinary scientists cannot compare to one Einstein.
The theory of relativity was proposed by Einstein. It was a manifestation of a flash of inspiration, a skill that transcended ordinary people.
The most important thing is creativity and imagination, a flash of inspiration.
So this enlightenment zone is a place to cultivate creativity and imagination from children.
In other words, children in this world will be sent to the Enlightenment Zone to spend their childhood until they reach adulthood at the age of eighteen and be sent to this city.
So what district is this city in?
Li Xiao was wondering.
And Zhao Dazhi quickly gave him the answer.
Zhao Dazhi, who likes to be a teacher, smiled and said: "Welcome you two to the new world. The teachers in your college should have told you that this is a paradise for mankind. When you come here, your bodies will age slowly and you will have a long life. In addition to work, we have a lot of time to enjoy life. Thanks to Patriarch Sanqing, Buddha, and countless scientists for their great inventions, we live in this wonderful era."
"Yes, the teachers told us that time in the new world is slowed down a hundred times, and we gain a long life because of this."
Ding Junda clasped his hands together and prayed: "Thank you Buddha, thank you, Patriarch Sanqing, for allowing us to live in this wonderful era."
The words fell.
Li Xiao and Zhu Ningyun widened their eyes at the same time.
I never understood it before.
All the questions were finally solved.
Why has he been able to work here for decades?
Why didn't they return to the Ming Dynasty when the time came?
Because time here is slowed down a hundred times.
"A hundred times!" Li Xiao couldn't help but say.
Others looked at Li Xiao as usual, feeling that his expression was a bit strange. Zhao Dazhi said strangely: "Yes, Li Xiao, is there any problem?"
"No problem, that's it."
Li Xiao nodded, "Well, it's a hundred times."
But his heart was already turbulent, like the waves crashing on the shore.
So, twenty-four hours, slowed down a hundred times is one hundred days.
Therefore, they need to stay in this era for a hundred days before they can return to the Ming Dynasty.
sky.
Li Xiao roared in his heart, this was simply unbelievable.
Humans have taken control of time and even slowed down the time of the entire city a hundred times!
This is simply something that only God can do!
Judging from their conversation just now, the passage of time in the Enlightenment Zone is normal.
In other words, a couple in the New World gave birth to a child. They sent the child to the Enlightenment Zone. In just 2 months, when they saw the child again, the child had grown up.
If a person's life span is one hundred years, excluding the eighteen years that normally pass in the Enlightenment Zone, there are still eighty-two years left.
In this city where time is slowed down, humans can live a long life of 8,200 years.
What is the difference between this and immortality?
Li Xiao finally understood why the world's population was so large, a full 30 billion people.
The more developed science and technology is, the lower the fertility rate is. This is the consequence of the development of science and technology in that era. However, this world has used slow time to perfectly solve this problem.
Li Xiao finally understood why all the people at the concert yesterday were young people, because with such a slow passage of time, everyone was young.
