There were not many people at this table, and Han Le only joined five people. Amy stood up and introduced to everyone: "This is Han Le, who just woke up today." The other three people on the table picked up the beer glasses and raised them. Qi gestured, and it was obvious that this was a celebration. After sitting down, the conversation at the table continued. Sitting opposite Han Le was an old European and American man with gray hair. He seemed to be somewhat interested in Han Le: "Are you Chinese?" Han Le nodded. ¡°I went to China a few years ago,¡± the old man said. ¡°Compared with many other countries, it¡¯s a completely different world.¡± Han Le didn¡¯t quite understand what he meant. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? "The Chinese government restricts any hibernating behavior that is not for medical purposes" The old man's tone seemed to be very nostalgic, "I still remember the day I got off the airport and then took the subway to the city center. The people I saw along the way were more than those in other places. I have seen more places in my lifecompared to there, living here feels like a group of exiled prisoners" "Look here," the old man pointed to the other people in this room, "This is our life. In this world, there are tens of thousands of people crammed into the entire hibernating area, but I don¡¯t think there are as many people as a tribe of primitive people.¡± ¡°That¡¯s what we chose ourselves,¡± another bearded man continued, ¡°If we really want to send you to China. , you must feel that it hinders your freedom If you didn't hibernate, you might not be alive now." "That's the truth!" The old man smiled, "We always envy other people's fate." Han Lefan. Looking through the chat history of this table, most of the recorded words were similar to these complaints. Compared with other tables, it seemed a bit boring. Just now, Han Le saw a table discussing the establishment of a "hibernation political party", which seemed to mean I want to create a mechanism to gain a certain voice for the hibernating people Several other people kept saying one word after another. Han Le ordered a glass of beer and listened slowly, but his mind was thinking about other things. Although the current hibernation technology has greatly reduced the physiological discomfort after waking up, excessive information is always unavoidable. There is a Chinese idiom called "Huang Liang Yi Meng". Sometimes you temporarily wake up from more information. For a moment, Han Le always has an illusion. Maybe the next second, he really opens his eyes and finds that everything he has experienced is actually a dream, hibernation, 2083, Qiao Yiyu "Han Le," Amy's voice interrupted Han Le's memories. When he raised his head, he realized that he and the doctor were the only two people left on the table. "Are you thinking about your two friends?" Amy asked. Han Le shook his head: "No." "You looked a little disappointed You didn't participate in the conversation just now." "Maybe I'm not good at talking." Amy didn't ask again, but Han Le suddenly remembered something and turned over Looking through the chat history: "Chatting here is not part of your psychological treatment, right?" Amy nodded with a smile and said, "Why, do you reject the idea of ??psychological treatment?" "No." Han Le also said Ai smiled, but subconsciously argued, "I don't have to." "Didn't you say you made an appointment with your friends? Didn't find any news about them?" "I found them, I just want to stay alone for a few days." Ai Miha laughed: "Be careful, your days may turn into years or more if you're not careful." Han Le understood what she meant, but didn't say anything. He just subconsciously controlled a button on the desktop computer with his fingers. Minigames. "Let's change places, you won't say anything." Amy seemed to feel a little bored and stood up. Han Le had no problem with it, so why didn't he feel the same about boredom and emptiness? He might have felt it more deeply than the doctor. The two of them came to a large table with more than a dozen people, which was also the table with the largest number of people in the bar, and sat down. At that moment, Han Le noticed that this was the group he had just passed by that discussed the "hibernating political party." "Introduce yourself, this is the rule here." There is a host at this table. She is an Asian woman in her 30s. Her face looks a bit Southeast Asian. After sitting down, the host spoke, "Just say anything. " Han Le subconsciously gave in, but it couldn't be delayed for long. Amy's self-introduction was very short: "I am a psychiatrist in this district. I have been on duty for half a year. The next time I wake up will be 17 years later, January 1, 2100. "Is anyone with me?" Some people raised their hands, but some people joked: "I have a feeling that the next 17 years will be scary." "What are you afraid of?" . "All beautiful women are afraid of hibernating when they grow old. For men, this is simply the end of the world" Before the man finished speaking, the whole tableEveryone laughed together, including Han Le. "The more terrifying thing is yet to come. On the first day of the 22nd century" the man continued seriously, "All the beautiful women in this hibernation area will wake up together to watch the sunrise of the new century. When the time comes, you will find that all the men here They all looked at you with harmless eyes and hugged each other tightly" This joke had a good effect. The whole table laughed for three or four minutes before gradually calming down. Han Le also relaxed a little, Following Amy's example of self-introduction, she said: "My name is Han Le. I plan to stay here for a month or two, and wake up in 10 years for another month or two. Is there anyone with me?" No one raised their hands, but there was a black man. The young man said: "My hibernation strategy is the same as yours, we wake up every few years, but our deadlines are staggered." "This is normal," the host said, "We need to find someone who is on the same page. It is almost impossible for a hibernator. Best friends, family no matter how close the relationship is, the role is very weak. This is why we discussed setting up a new coordination organization. Han Le, you can take a look at our previous work. Chat records In this era, personal control over information and the pace of life has been completely disrupted. Not everyone is an idealist, just to wake up from hibernation and see a perfect world at any cost. , that kind of world probably does not exist, and the future may not be as beautiful as we imagined. You should be able to feel it by now. Do you still remember the young man a week ago? He said that he was a software engineer before hibernating. He wanted to find someone. A job in a related field After reading the automatic compilation software, he was almost desperate In hibernation, not only are we abandoning the times, but the times are also constantly abandoning us. " It seems that he wants to strengthen his language. In order to be convincing, the host asked Han Le: "What kind of job were you doing before hibernating? Have you ever thought about doing something in the future?" Han Le was a little embarrassed: "I don't have a job I haven't thought about it either. ¡°I think in the future, everyone may not need to work.¡± ¡°Indeed, people always need to do something. As a popular saying on the Internet a few years ago, a day of leisure is rest, a month of leisure is enjoyment, and ten years of leisure are blessings. , a lifetime is tortureyou always have something you want to do, right?" Han Le obviously had not heard this sentence, but he understood it quickly, because before hibernation, his life was already changing between happiness and happiness. He hesitated between tortures. Because of his understanding, Han Le now felt a little inferior: "Not yet I haven't thought about this problem yet." The host saw Han Le's uneasiness. This is a good thing and deserves comfort. : "I dare say that most people here have not thought about this problem But fortunately, what we are most indispensable for now is time. But from another perspective, time is often a double-edged thing. Sword, every hibernating person only sees the good side before hibernating. Now you have also seen the bad side. We are hiding in a small bar dozens of meters underground, drinking beer and chatting to pass the time. Time, but no one is willing to go to the ground and come into contact with real life. I dare say that among many of you, unless you spend all your last dime in your bank account, you will not consider doing any hibernation work at all (those who have no money will do so). Paying for hibernation, arranged by the hibernation organization, and waking up at intervals (this is the case for Amy when she is a doctor) is not something other than paying for hibernation, because you think reality has nothing to do with you. Hibernation has changed the way we see the world. The problem is that everything is unimportant now and the future is important. This is the same as Buddhists who always place their hope in the afterlife. " The host's words obviously resonated with the people present. Many people lowered their heads and stopped drinking. "The hope of Buddhists is the unconditional and irrational belief in the existence of Buddha. Your hope seems to be a little more The practical significance is science and technology. Human beings are always willing to believe that the future will be better than the past Maybe in a certain period of human society, this is indeed a fact, but there is no evidence that this kind of beauty will last forever. It can even be said that, This idea itself is just a kind of belief. Sometimes I watch some movies from the early 21st century to see people¡¯s lives and mental states at that time. I have to admit that I envy them. Hibernation gives us the future, but deprives us of the present. Escaping reality has become everything we have. People's subconscious thoughts, but there are always people who have to face these problems" "Hey, Caroline, do you know what is the biggest difference between you and a politician? "Just when the host was talking passionately, someone in the crowd interrupted. The host was stunned for a moment, and the voice continued: "It's your speech that always goes off topic. "The host known as Caroline smiled awkwardly, but continued: "Okay, what I want to say is, since we have the same idea, why can't we organize it and form a hibernating environment?Organize more compact groups. I believe you have all seen it online. There are already many such 'complete trust organizations' in Europe. They are a group of like-minded people who hibernate together and wake up together. They come from different eras and countries, but they can be together at the same time. Living together in a time and space relies on the common will to do something together, and we can do so if we want to. "
