    Having just learned about the situation of this era, Han Le and Qiao Yiyu changed their original principles. They originally planned to treat this month as a short stay, find a place to play, "travel", and hibernate until  Wake up next time.  But now, not only the two of them, but also Su Pei has begun to take a keen interest in the entire era itself, as well as hibernation itself.  Allen expressed his appreciation for their new idea. Among the guests he has served, few people have such an attitude towards hibernation itself - many people have experienced multiple awakenings and have already taken hibernation as a natural part of it, but  The three people in front of them always seemed to have reservations about hibernation. This kind of cautious attitude was very rare in this era. Of course, Allen would not know that this attitude was largely due to the few people in front of him.  The individuals come from an era before hibernation. Although they have all personally participated in hibernation, the concept of hibernation itself is still unfamiliar to them.  The best way to understand an era deeply is to start from the lives of ordinary people.  Obviously, people in this era will not live and eat near the hibernation area like Han Le and others - although this can be called a prosperous area compared to other places, the nature of the hibernation area has been determined.  It is impossible to form a stable social and cultural atmosphere. As Han Le saw before, a group of people gathering to chat in a bar is already the limit.  Allen's place is not close to the hibernation area. It is nearly hundreds of kilometers away from the hibernation area. His coming to work in the hibernation area can be regarded as a business trip. According to his own introduction, the job here is pretty good. Every day  He works four days a week and does not exceed six hours a day. Of course, the nature of his job is the same as that of the tour guide in Han Le's memory. The basic salary is not much, and the bulk of it is commissioned from the products sold - that is, he  Those things introduced before.  For this "free trip", Han Le and the others bought a set of cultural products for one month, worth almost more than 100,000 Canadian dollars - of course, the monetary value of this era is far different from what Han Le had in mind.  This amount of money is only about half a year's income for ordinary people, and Allen can get more than 30% of it.  When the car just drove out of the underground, the car windows were covered with a layer of cold air. Unlike the underground, which is always warm like spring, it was still winter on the ground at this time. Looking around, there was no end in sight on both sides of the road, and it was completely white.  In the snow-covered forest, if it weren't for the billboards that can be seen from time to time on the railings on both sides of the road, Han Le almost thought that he had traveled through time and space and returned to the primitive era.  The road is very wide and clean, but there is not much traffic. You only see a car every few minutes - there may not be passengers among them, most of them are freight trucks. Some of these cars are driven alone one by one, with music playing on the side of the car.  In the advertising animation of the freight company, there are several, or even dozens of vehicles lined up in sequence. From a distance, it looks like a moving train.  Occasionally, I saw a vehicle transporting people, and they all greeted each other warmly. Allen said that the people who knew how to say hello must be travelers like them. They always seemed a little excited, but Han Le and the others were considered  exception.  Taking a car in this era is not a relatively free enjoyment. Because traffic is managed uniformly by computers, there are strict speed limits. You need to apply for a speed increase in advance, and you will be charged speeding fees if you exceed a certain speed range - this makes Han Le unable to help himself.  Reminds me of a certain penguin game project in my mind.  However, after a brief explanation, Han Le still expressed his understanding - if there were no similar regulations, I am afraid that more than 90% of people would keep their cars at the highest speed at all times.  In some snowy areas on the road, the car automatically slowed down. Han Le saw several "snow plows" similar to cleaning vehicles plowing the road ahead. Unlike regular vehicles, these tool trucks had drivers.  They generally look young, wearing orange eye-catching work clothes, sitting in the cab, staring at their computer screens, chatting with each other, looking more like they are on vacation than working.  Allen told them that similar jobs are a bit like "civil servants", and the work content is very relaxed, but it does not come without a price - workers must sign a work agreement with the government, and generally speaking, it is limited to at least five to ten years.  hibernation.  If it had been 60 years ago Han Le could not help but think about this. Every time he thought about the huge gap in treatment and changes between the two eras, he could not help but sigh in his heart - yes, it was only 60 years.  The world has become like paradise. What about another 60 years?  What about 600 years?  Maybe those people who are obsessed with hibernating have the same idea as him now, so they are so determined to do so.  When he arrived at his destination, Han Le barely noticed the change in the surrounding scenery. The car just turned along a fork on the roadside and entered an underground passage. Then the white snowy world outside the car window turned into bright lights in front of him - no impression.  The skyscrapers unique to modern cities attract the eye only with the crowds that can be seen on the roadside at all times - Han Le is already very??I have never seen so many people.  The car finally stopped under a two-story building. The four people went out and the car left automatically.  Allen went to open the door and introduced them: "This is where I live. What do you want to drink? Coffee?" "Tea." Han Le is not used to drinking Western coffee.  There are about four or five rooms on the two floors, and there are seven or eight people living there. Basically, they are mainly couples. Most of them are not at home at this time. There is a man with an Asian face sitting in the living room, staring at several people with curious eyes.  The stranger asked Alan in English: "Your customer?" "Yes, where is the tea?" Alan asked while looking for it in the refrigerator.  The man went to find the tea leaves, then turned back and asked Su Pei: "Are you Japanese? Korean?" "Chinese." Qiao Yiyu said.  "Oh," he smiled, "That's rare, then you must be very old in hibernating, in the 1940s or 1950s?" Several people didn't say anything because they all knew that it was impossible to tell the truth -  ¡ªIn 2013, hibernation technology had not yet appeared on Earth.  At this time, Allen shouted: "Hey, don't talk so much." Then he explained: "That's just how he is, he talks a lotbut we don't have many hibernators." Han Le could see it a little bit, the look in the man's eyes.  There is always a bit of dissatisfaction - not unfriendly, but it seems that they don't recognize their status as hibernators.  In Allen's room, he explained in a low voice that in this era, no matter whether people want it or not, everyone has a subtle psychological tendency towards hibernation technology. Among young people, this mentality always tends to oppose it.  Hibernation is regarded as irresponsible, and when they grow up a little and economic conditions improve, they will gradually tend to support it - this sentiment is more obvious in some non-hibernation cities, such as here.  "The age of hibernation is the age of the poor," Allen picked up a physical book on his bookshelf and told several people. "Wealth in this era is more about the control of time. The living have the right to enjoy life, but those without  The right to get rid of the domination of sleepers - one percent of sleepers may be able to determine the living world for a century within one day of waking up. " Han Le looked at the title of the book, "Sleeping in the 21st Century", and looked at the title page.  A series of influential statements, it should be a contemporary bestseller.  "The government doesn't care?" Su Pei was a little confused, "It can't be done through means such as tax adjustment" "The consequences of similar means are mentioned in the book," Allen said, "If there is no corresponding response to excessively high taxes,  Relying on services, the flight of capital is inevitable Many wealthy people have begun to build their own hibernation areas underground You must have heard of Polar Bear, right? That was a famous hibernation organization in the past."  All nodded.  "When the polar bears were at their largest, it was said that their economic influence exceeded that of any single country in the world. Later, with the Chinese government as the leader, and other countries involved, the entire organization began to split, and one of its branches later established the so-called Hibernating Free Federation.  , specifically attracting wealthy people, and then building hibernation areas on a large scale in South America, Africa and other places. To curb hibernation, unless all countries around the world unite, otherwise the people at the top of the real wealth will not be affected. "  "The whole world unites" Han Le smiled. Even as an idealistic person like him, he felt that this idea was too unrealistic. Maybe in another 500 years.  "What do you do when you are not working?" When asked, Han Le looked at the computer in the dormitory and guessed the answer.  "Games, parties" Allen laughed at himself, "What else can we do?" Yes, what else can we do? Han Le was not surprised that he guessed the answer.  Allen opened the window and pointed to an eye-catching blank billboard in the distance outside the window and said: "Did you see that sign? There are often some activities on it. Sometimes we are asked to be extras, sometimes we organize marches to protest, and some  "It sounds like a government bulletin board." "It was a community initiative. This environment started when I was a child," Allen recalled. "The most common thing on the sign at that time was to help each other."  Take care of the children At that time, the content on the sign was always full, and there was always something to do. " "What if no one does it?" Su Pei interjected. In his opinion, since it was spontaneous, then  Reliability is often very low.  "So we live in different eras, and our life experiences are different," Allen said. "Non-hibernation areas like ours are generally relatively united. As long as we can free up space, we can generally  Just help. Especially here, more than 60% of people are abandoned by their parents, and some are.Single-parent families where parents take turns hibernating. I remember when we were young, our kindergarten teacher said this to us, saying that your parents think the world is terrible, so they all want to go to the future. You have to use actions to prove them wrong.  of.  "
