Some people say that human civilization was destroyed after 2012, and existing humans only live in the virtual field of advanced civilization.
Some people also say that after 2012, humans perceive that time on the earth is passing accelerating...
The Mayan civilization predicted that humans would never see the dawn again on December 21, 2012. The fact is that after the sun experienced a violent nuclear flash, an unknown spherical ark instantly approached the sun and absorbed a huge amount of solar energy, which seemed to prevent all earth disasters from happening.
Three days before the impending doomsday disaster, that is, on December 18, 2012, Earth time, a festive wedding was held in Panlong Village in the eastern Henan Plain.
"Hello! Is Pan Tianyi's home here?"
An American girl with blond hair and blue eyes followed Yang Zhou through several streets in Panlong Village and walked towards the crowd in the east of the village. Under the big willow tree beside the pit, she happened to meet Guo Yang who was returning to his hometown to visit.
"Yes, Pan Tianyi's family lives here!" Guo Yang settled in Beijing with his parents more than ten years ago. After studying hard, he entered the Imperial Aviation Engine College; now he has grown into a tall and tall man. He was a handsome young man. He looked at Nina standing in front of him and Yang Zhou beside her, thinking that they must be Pan Tianyi's college classmates attending the wedding banquet; Guo Yang showed a cute smile at this time. , enthusiastically handed the cigarette to Yang Zhou, and his behavior seemed to be mixed with some student shyness that could not be eliminated, and said:
"I am Guo Yang, Pan Tianyi's neighbor. Are you here to attend Pan Ge's wedding?"
"As you said, I'm here for the wedding banquet. Hello, I'm Yang Zhou, Pan Tianyi's college roommate!" Yang Zhou was wearing a navy blue down jacket, and his slightly tired face instantly brightened up.
"Nice to meet you, nice to meet you! I'll take you home to rest first!" Guo Yang picked up the suitcase in Yang Zhou's hand and led Yang Zhou and his wife towards Pan Tianyi's old house. When he passed by a collapsed courtyard, he stopped briefly and said melancholy:
"When I was young, Pan Tianyi and I were very good neighbors. We caught small fish in the pit together, and we knelt down together at the Guandi Temple to pray for rain... Now the village is different from the past. Time has changed too much. many!"
"Yes! The appearance of the countryside is indeed a bit outdated, but the pace of life is much slower than that of the big cities. You can enjoy more fun living here."
When Yang Zhou heard Guo Yang's memories of his childhood, he felt a sense of returning to nature. He raised his head and glanced around the village, and found that many houses in the east of the village had become depressed and dilapidated, while several new buildings had sprung up in the west of the village.
"Look, what a beautiful mushroom-shaped willow tree!"
Nana went to the countryside to experience the rural scenery for the first time and pointed forward with joy.
In the light mist, a thick willow tree stood alone at the edge of the pit. It lowered its head with joy and looked intently at the crowd in the courtyard with green tiles and red bricks.
"That's Pan Tianyi's home!" Guo Yang quickened his pace and walked towards the crowd, "Listen! The sound of firecrackers and suona is getting closer and closer. The big sedan chair is about to be carried to the door of the house!"
After a while, bursts of firecrackers crackled in the air, and a bright red sedan stopped in front of Pan Tianyi's house. The bride, Han Yuting, was wearing a white wedding dress. With the support of sister Hong'er, she stepped across The charcoal brazier enters the groom's home.
Because Han Yuting was a bride from other provinces, she attracted the attention of all the men, women, and children in the village. The entire courtyard was packed with people.
Time is ruthless, and the rolling world of mortals has diluted many beautiful memories. I vaguely remembered that after the bride and groom toasted to their elders, Pan Tianyi and Han Yuting held a couple's kneeling ceremony.
At this time, the newlyweds stood together, bowed and worshiped to the gods and ancestors at the altar, and then they performed husband and wife worship.
Pan Tianyi, who was wearing a black suit, looked at the bride wearing a white wedding dress opposite and said silently in his heart: "Thank you, Han Yuting! You don't mind being poor and still marry me, which makes me lucky for the rest of my life!"
"Brother Tian, what I am interested in is your bright future! Being able to marry you is also my happiness..." Han Yuting faced west, stared at Pan Tian and understood with all her heart, she blinked at her. Those big eyes that seemed to be able to speak.
Two days later in the morning.
The warm winter sun shines through the wooden windows, illuminating the happy words on the wall of the hall in an unusually bright red. Waves of water vapor filled with the aroma of vegetables floated on the white plaster square table, and the air was mixed with the sound of joyful conversations. Pan Tianyi and his wife, Guo Yang, Pan Xiaoliang and Yang Zhou were sitting around the square table and eating.
"I heard from my father that you stopped your graduate studies in the past year. I don't know why you did this?" Yang Zhou frowned and asked in confusion.
Pan Tianyi gently filled the glass and handed it to Yang Zhou, then looked at everyone with a serious and cautious expression, "I have a prediction about the future of artificial intelligence. It will completely change human life." status. So, I went to Huajiang Intelligent Heavy Industry Group and learned about modern AI technology."
At the same time, Pan Tianyi took out a photo of an alien mecha from his pocket. It was taken by him at a base in the eastern theater. For confidentiality reasons, he only let Yang Zhou take a peek and quickly put it back in his pocket. middle. This alerted everyone's attention, and they all stared at Pan Tianyi's mysterious face.
"Do you think there are gods in this world? Or..."
Yang Zhou took one look at the humanoid mecha in the photo and said in surprise and caution.
"Maybe the gods are aliens!"
Pan Tian thought that before, when the Chinese fleet went to escort the Gulf of Aden, it had discovered the remains of a ring-shaped building on the seabed of Yemen and salvaged an alien humanoid mecha from it.
At this time, Pan Xiaoliang's eldest son looked at Pan Tianyi and Yang Zhou with bright eyes, and immediately cheered: "The gods are aliens! Where are they? Can you show me?"
"When adults are talking, no children can interrupt! Go outside and set off firecrackers... and play by yourself!"
Pan Xiaoliang filled the soup with a small spoon and fed his one-year-old son in his arms. He looked at Yang Zhou embarrassedly and said, "I'm sorry for interrupting your conversation. My eldest son has been led astray by his grandma." , I would take him to the temple to burn incense during every festival..."
"Wow...grandma..." Pan Xiaoliang's eldest son seemed to be about to cry.
"Your eldest son is so cute. It is the nature of a child to be curious."
Han Yuting was sitting next to Nina, gossiping about interesting things about life in China. When she saw Pan Xiaoliang's eldest son standing on the ground, Douda's tears almost fell down. So she coaxed him, picked up a big chicken drumstick from the plate with chopsticks and put it into his hands, showing a sweet smile: "Kid, don't cry. Listen to your father and go play outside."
"Oh, I went out to set off firecrackers..." In the courtyard of Pantian's family, bursts of firecrackers suddenly burst out.
"Guo Yang, tell me about your development and changes over the years." Pan Tianyi looked at Guo Yang who was sitting next to Pan Xiaoliang and said.
"There haven't been many changes in these years, it's not like you all entered the Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences." Guo Yang said calmly. "However, I recently heard Dean Deng Weiming say that for the needs of the motherland's lunar exploration project, we at the Aerospace Engine School in the Imperial Capital are preparing to secretly move westward in accordance with the organization's requirements."
"Haha... I heard you say that, the young people of our generation have been given a mysterious mission and responsibility!" Yang Zhou looked at Guo Yang, and then looked at Pan Tianyi, seeming to be inspired. .
"Haha... maybe, we are all arranged by fate!" Pan Tianyi wiped the black frame and said with deep meaning.
At this time, several more firecrackers exploded in the mottled and old courtyard. Pantian suddenly felt panic, he had a headache, dizziness, and could not sit still. Fragments of familiar memories came one after another:
On a strange blue planet, thousands of Trisolaran spaceships fell from the sky, burned and exploded, and fell into the vast ocean like dense rain...
Then, darkness appeared before his eyes, and a star ring like a "silver bracelet" gradually enlarged, seeming to light up the end of the darkness. As the shuttle approached, they came to the space city and saw hundreds of strange shuttles being driven by strange bugs... Strange fear arose in their hearts, so he showed his face Panicked, he asked the blue-haired girl next to him for help: Take me out of here...
"Brother Tian, what's wrong with you!" Seeing this, Han Yuting stepped forward to help Pan Tianyi up, with a worried look on her face.
"Brother, did you work too long last night? Didn't you get a good rest..." Pan Xiaoliang showed a sullen face and laughed secretly. At this time, a moment of confusion swept across everyone's faces, and they all unconsciously turned their concerned eyes to Pan Tianyi.
"Ahem... I'll go outside to get some air. You guys eat first and don't worry about me!"
At this time, Pan Tianyi looked at Han Yuting who was blushing, then faced everyone and said deeply apologetic. Then, he took a deep breath and walked towards the big willow tree behind the house.
Seeing this, Yang Zhou followed Pan Tianyi to the big willow tree beside the pit.
"Didn't you ask, are there gods in this world?"
Pan Tian looked at the thinly frozen water surface of the pond and brought up the topic just now. "I said he did, do you believe it?"
"Did the humanoid mecha in the photo really come from alien technology?" Yang Zhou held one hand on the large and rough willow tree next to him, showing an unbelievable look again, "I thought you used a computer to Photoshop the photo. of."
"I remember when we were young, the four of us went to the Guandi Temple to kneel down and pray for rain. It rained heavily the next morning. Guo Yang also knew about this!" Pan Tianyi did not answer Yang Zhou's question directly, and then Then he said: "Before going to college, I was desperate and went to the Guandi Temple to make four more wishes. So far, they have almost come true. Now I have entered the Chinese Academy of Sciences to become a high-energy physics researcher, realizing the third dream; and the fourth A wish, maybe the time has not come yet and it has not been realized yet..."
"What is the fourth wish?"
Yang Zhou asked curiously, then thought for a moment and then asked, "What does this have to do with 'whether there are gods'?"
"Haha... The fourth wish is kept secret for the time being. It would be boring to say it!"
Pan Tian shifted his gaze from the lake to Yang Zhou, "I remember that the old man in the temple once said, 'I will make all my wishes come true'!"
"Yes, listening to the call of the heart and then taking action is more than half of the success! Just like the wisdom of human civilization, with thoughts, there will be the glory of science and technology. We all live in God's back garden, we All consciousness comes from their transmission, and it is the gods who guide human beings to gradually enter the wisdom circle of civilization from the primitive wilderness."
Yang Zhou said excitedly, "Today, the conversation between you and me has resonated with our thoughts, which is really valuable! By the way, Brother Tian, where is your third wish?"
"Haha, it has come true. I just married a virtuous and beautiful wife!" Pan Tianyi smiled happily and couldn't help but laugh.
"It's true!" Yang Zhou looked at Pan Tianyi, feeling like he was suddenly enlightened.
"I have the answer in my heart. God is hidden deep in the consciousness of each of us..."
