In the garden of a building, a blond lady carried a watering can and roamed freely among the chrysanthemums. When she got tired, she returned to the bamboo chair and stared blankly at the towering white "parabola".
She looks very young, but her mental state is similar to that of an elderly person. She is Nina, Yang Zhou's wife, an old lady who has lived for nearly seventy years.
"Grandma!" An eight-year-old boy ran up to her and looked up at the blue sky.
"Yangyang, my good boy, what weird questions are you going to ask grandma again?" Nina reached out to hold her grandson in her arms and glanced at the track clouds in the sky.
"Do you think aliens will come to Earth from there?"
Yang Yang pointed to the parabolic orbit in the sky. At the end of its deep space, a huge circular space city could be vaguely seen. There were too many aerospace planes coming in and out from there, traveling between the earth and the lunar space. .
"Haha, this child must have been influenced by your aunt and has heard too many stories about the deep space."
Nina looked at her grandson's cute and serious look and couldn't help but smile, "Your aunt said that the Moon's Sky Eye once observed the Cygnus starry sky, and many gamma ray bursts were produced there. Perhaps alien civilizations once existed there. .”
"My aunt also said that there are civilizations shining in the Orion starry sky!"
Yang Yang stared at his grandma with his shiny black eyes. The aerospace plane in the distance quickly pierced the atmosphere, and another bright light flashed in his eyes.
"Ahem! Yes, the Orion stars will also have civilization." Nina showed a kind look and looked with him into the space at the end of the mountains.
Occasionally, she made a slight cough, which was heard inside the house, and melancholic subtitles began to pop up on the computer screen in the living room.
Jingle Bell--
A pleasant doorbell rang, and the home robot nanny suddenly projected two holographic portraits in the open-air garden.
"Hello, we are here!" Yang Ying and his wife stood in front of the electronic gate and greeted their mother and nephew.
"Speak of Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!" Nina looked at the virtual light and shadow in mid-air and stood up to greet her, "Xiao Ju, open the door quickly and let them in!"
"Okay, Aunt Nina, I'll open the electronic door right now!"
The robot nanny in the living room looked at the anti-theft metal door with its electronic eyes, scanned and opened the smart lock, and Yang Ying stepped in from the outside.
"Aunt and uncle, I miss you so much!"
Yang Yang quickly ran from the living room to the corridor door, showing too much excitement, "Hey! And Sister Mingyue, you are here too!"
"Yangyang, you are too playful. Why didn't you go to school today?" A nine-year-old girl broke free from Pan Tianming's hand, happily ran to Yang Yang, and scolded him.
"Sister Mingyue, I can complete my studies by entering the virtual classroom at home. There is no need to go to school!" Yang Yang pulled Mingyue and walked towards the living room.
"Well, I am also in the Yuanti virtual world and have learned all the knowledge from elementary school to high school. Now only my brother is still living a traditional education in college!"
"I hate teachers supervising my studies!"
Seeing the children chatting with gusto and having so much fun, Yang Ying felt much more relaxed, and she walked towards the garden outside the house.
"The times are changing so much. If we are not careful, we will fall behind!"
"Technology has changed our basic necessities, food, housing, and transportation. No one even cares about a doctorate degree." Pan Tianming looked at his back in the sun and said with a wry smile.
"Mom, the air outside is too humid. Let's go back inside!" Yang Ying came to Nina, a little unhappy. She always felt that her mother was like a naughty child running around.
"Staying in the house for a long time can easily reduce physical fitness, so I went out to water the flowers and bask in the sun. My health is good now and I don't need your help!" Yang Ying wanted to help her mother but she refused. I had no choice but to follow her slowly back to the living room.
"Ah sneeze!" Nina just sat down
As soon as she got off the sofa, she sneezed. She kept covering her painful chest with her hands, "This rhinitis is really deadly!"
"This season is getting cooler, and the dust in the air can easily cause rhinitis." Yang Ying frowned and said worriedly, "Mom, you'd better stay indoors. Our room is a duplex building with two floors. There are more than 300 square meters, enough for you to move around!"
"That virtual room takes up too much space. Even us adults can't experience it. It's all for children to have fun..."
On the wall opposite the red sofa, there is a picturesque ultra-thin TV hanging, which is playing a piece of Tiancheng science and technology news:
"Recently, the Tiancheng City *** working group invited hundreds of scientists from all over the world and the red monitors of the tesseract to discuss the ethical and moral system that is about to be reformed in human society in the mid-to-late 21st century.
With the support of the Central Ladder Project, the mechanical prostheses and electronic organs jointly developed by the Bronze Divine Tree and the Super Cube will soon welcome the new world and be promoted and applied to all human society under the framework of respecting individual will and social ethics.
For those soldiers and heroes who are physically disabled in accidents in order to protect their homeland and national beliefs, they can have priority in obtaining the right to use mechanical instruments!
At the same time, in order to respond to the appeals of people around the world, in a new era of frequent earth disasters and rapid population decline, popularizing mechanical prostheses to human society and establishing sound laws and ethics for prosthetics will help improve the scientific productivity of the current society and Promoting the exploration of space technology has far-reaching and great civilizational significance
..."
At this time, Pan Tianming was sitting on the sofa, watching TV with the children. Next to him, Nina was half-lying on the sofa, closing her eyes and relaxing, and began to enjoy the massage* service of the robot nanny.
Yang Ying stood in the living room, wearing transparent virtual glasses on herself, and saw a middle-aged man walking towards her with a touch of melancholy in his eyes.
"Yang Ying, you have finally returned to your home on Earth. Can you still adapt to life on the moon?"
"Dad, everything is fine!" Yang Ying stepped forward, gave her father a deep hug, looked at the corners of her wrinkled eyes, and comforted:
"In addition to the low gravity environment, Guanghan City is like a huge flat glass bubble, half embedded in the moon rock. The Crescent residents living here rely on their legs or ride four-wheeled moon carts to and from the kilometers-long streets. . There are hundreds of bubble-shaped cities like this scattered around Guanghan City!"
"Well, that's good! Next time you go, bring more vegetable seeds, and you can become self-sufficient." Yang Zhou reminded his daughter, and then asked with concern:
"Why has there been no news about your brother recently?"
"Oh, Brother Huan will come back to visit you soon. But recently, he is busy with the "Existence of Light" International High Energy Physics Symposium organized by CERN. Yang Ying said happily for her younger brother.
"Beings of Light" is a particle accelerator club jointly established by high-energy physics laboratories in Europe, Asia, and North America. During the half century of stagnation in basic human science, scientists around the world have reached a unified scientific ideology and interacted with each other. Exchange and share the most advanced physical research and theoretical conjectures, aiming to explore a development direction that can be used by all mankind to study space and particles.
"Busy, busy! You have almost forgotten that I am a dead person!"
Yang Zhou's virtual image seemed to be trembling, and he was obviously angry with the children. Then he said in a consultative tone: "It's hard for you to have a month's vacation on earth during the year. There is something I want to say to you." Can your lover help me?"
"dad!"
Yang Ying instantly started sobbing, her eyes were slightly red, and she shed tears, "Whatever you want Tianming to do, just ask, and I will let him fulfill his father's wish!"
Looking at his excited wife, Pan Tianming walked over. He put on his transparent glasses and looked at the father and daughter in front of him, his eyes full of doubts.
"Tianming, there is something I implore you to help me with." Yang Zhou saw Pan Tianming entering the virtual space and was the first to say:
"In the past, your father and I were very good friends.
friend! I want you to take me to the tesseract and let the red supervisor replace me with a brand new human-machine body. Do you think that's okay? "
Forty years ago, Yang Zhou was in a car accident and became a vegetative state. He has been lying in the bedroom, losing all personal freedom, and only his own thoughts can move in the virtual world of the source body. new
"Ordinary people want to graft mechanical prostheses, but the high cost is beyond their reach!"
Pan Tianming's mood began to fluctuate violently. He tried hard to calm down. He looked at his father-in-law and said, "Now mechanical prostheses are beginning to spread to the whole society. With the advanced scientific and medical technology of the super giant cuboid, coupled with the genes of the bronze sacred tree, Using cloning technology, we can perform surgery on you and replace your human body with a full-body instrument. This is not impossible! However, my father has died long ago, so please don’t mention him again!"
From the time he could remember, Pan Tianming never seemed to feel the presence of his father. The latter seemed to have disappeared from the world, abandoning Han Yuting and her son.
"Silly boy! Yang Huan, like you, also hates my ghost-like father very much!"
Yang Zhou said in despair, "It is said that your Aunt Nine appeared in the super giant cube ten years ago. Maybe she can help us. For the rest of my life, I hope that I can come to reality!"
"Dad, I have met Aunt Jiu several times. This time I went to the Super Cube on behalf of my mother to attend the Council meeting of the Source Body Matrix. I think she will help you complete the transformation of the body." Pan Tianming laughed at himself. For a moment, he thought about taking over the Bronze Sacred Tree, which was a bit like trying to force someone to do something difficult, but he couldn't give up observing the universe.
"Hehe~ I have a hunch at dawn that this time you may meet the father you haven't seen for many years. I hope you two can have a good talk..." Yang Zhou's melancholy face showed a lot of hope. I really hope Pan Tianyi can have a happy harvest.
Pan Tianming did not reply to his father-in-law's words. He silently took off his glasses and went straight to the open-air balcony. He looked at the mountains deep in the plateau. The ridges were continuous and the peaks were stained with white snow.
Not long after, the unmanned aircraft in the sky descended and unloaded all the food Yang Ying bought at the Yuanti virtual store to the open-air platform; the robot nanny loaded the vegetables and meat into the truck one by one, pushed it to the kitchen, and started Start making lunch.
At the same time, a private helicopter landed on the open-air platform, and two middle-aged men in black suits stepped out. The former was Yang Huan. He walked towards the living room carrying a password file box.
"Dad, you're back!" Yang Yang saw his father walking into the living room with his unfamiliar uncle, and ran over excitedly and threw himself into Yang Huan's arms.
"Are your aunt and uncle here too?" Yang Huan knelt down and stroked his son's head.
"Well, they are all here!" Yang Yang stared at his father, and then glanced at Cavinson, who was standing behind Yang Huan, "Hello, uncle! Welcome to my home!"
"Haha, Yang Yang has grown up, and uncle is going to give you a big toy! One day, you can do a vacuum accelerator experiment in space like your father!" Cavinson praised with a smile on his face, in the sunshine Under the outline, the European face appears more three-dimensional and clear.
"When you come back this time, can you stay at home for a while? Father hopes to get your understanding!" Yang Ying filled a cup of tea and handed it to Cavinson, indicating to Yang Huan to put on the virtual glasses and communicate with his father.
"Sister! I will move back to the imperial capital tomorrow." Yang Huan said firmly.
"Brother Huan, the big cities around the coast are now thinking of ways to relocate to the plateau. Why are you as stubborn as grandpa and insisting on returning to Qinhuangdao City, which is about to be swallowed up by the sea?" Yang Ying was filled with worries, and she was even more worried about what would happen to her grandpa Yang Yitong. Safety, he is now a centenarian.
"Do you know how people outside the world view physical science? They all say that "science is dead" and that humans will eventually be trapped and die on the earth and will never be able to get out of the solar system! "Yang Huan said angrily, with a lot of unwillingness in his heart. He was pulled up by his sister and brought to the outdoor garden.
"Brother Huan, if you look up at the sky of the Earth, you will find that our scientific research is vast and far away. I really hope that extraterrestrial civilizations will come to the Earth and bring new research directions to human development and scientific exploration."
Yang Ying released all the depression in her heart. She looked at the abyss of the starry sky at the Moon Sky Eye Base and found that human civilization seemed to have been deliberately hidden.
"Sister, you, like your father, want to use your heavenly eyes to spy on the footprints of civilization in the universe!
However, the speed of light is an insurmountable gap for human beings at present, not to mention that communication with alien civilizations will bring new breakthroughs to human civilization!
Therefore, people believe that science is getting further and further away from us, while religion and theology are getting closer and closer to us! This is my original wish to return to the particle accelerator base of the Institute of High Energy!
Aliens, creators, may be huddled in a certain space dimension and are trying to establish contact with humans through high-energy particles in the universe! "
Yang Huan and her sister started arguing, and neither of them could convince the other. They could only let the long years eliminate the differences in consciousness between them.
At this time Yang Yang ran over and broke the calm between the two people. He held the big toy in his hand and said curiously:
"Dad, why is this spaceship shaped like a ring?"
Yang Huan glanced at his son coldly, ignored his mother and wanted to leave with Cavinson.
Yang Yang stood in the garden, as if frightened by his father's sharp eyes, and began to cry.
Yang Ying looked at the helicopter disappearing in the sky and let out a long sigh. She walked up to Yang Yang and comforted her with a smile: "Yangyang, let aunt tell you! Your father is a great physical scientist. He is a great physicist. The motherland and the nation have made too many sacrifices. And the big toy in your hand is like a parabolic circular space station. It is an earth-orbiting space city built by our Chinese nation with wisdom and sweat after years of hard work!"
Yang Yang looked at his aunt and nodded heavily, as if he understood the firm look in his father's eyes when he left.
