One step closer to reality every day

Chapter 459 Technology Changes Life
The dark tide is surging in the invisible place, and keen people have already noticed the big event that is brewing.

But on the surface, most people's daily life is still as usual.

Ordinary and lively.

After all, it's almost Chinese New Year!

During the Chinese New Year, everything is put aside first, and there are fewer people who pay attention to entertainment gossip. The hot topics on the Internet every day, from the year-end awards to the Spring Festival travel holiday, from Laba porridge to New Year’s Eve dinner, are constantly changing.

Years ago, Feng Yi went to Xiaofeng Mountain.

At the same time, at the same location, last year at this time the sun was shining brightly and it was as warm as summer, but this year it was cool and windy.

The temperature in Yangcheng has dropped recently, and the clouds have been overcast for several days in a row. The food snakes raised on Xiaofeng Mountain have disappeared, and they don't know where to hide from the cold.

It's still the same old house, the ancestral hall of the Feng family in Yangcheng has been moved, but it doesn't seem to be any different, maybe even more lively.

Although there are no other guests here at this time today, judging from the residual smell information, there are usually many visitors.

Some come frequently, while others appear only once.

Due to an appointment in advance, Uncle Dumb stayed at home. When Feng Yi arrived, he was fighting with people on the Internet with his mobile phone.

Feng Yi didn't bother, he put down the snacks made by Xiao Bing suitable for the elderly, and walked around the house.

There is no big change, it is almost the same as when Feng Yi came last time, and it is also very clean.

The footsteps stopped at the door of a certain secret room, this time Feng Yi did not go in, but just stood outside and felt for a while.

Nothing was perceived.

There are too many secrets hidden in the things inside, and it is not easy to dig.

Behind Feng Yi, the dumb uncle who had just finished a game walked over, with a vigilant look in his eyes, "I doubt you will dig up the ancestor's grave".

It's like looking at a brat who may do "evil deeds" at any time.

Feng Yi turned around, smiled and said: "You worry too much."

He doesn't dig out what's underneath.

He had an intuition that even if someone came here to dig here, they might not be able to find it.

That is "old technology", Feng Yi himself has not fully understood it, and he will not dig it at this stage!
"Cough, are you done? Let's celebrate together this year?" Feng Yi asked.

The dumb uncle resolutely refused: [There is an appointment! 】

Feng Yi was not surprised by this reply.

Uncle Dumb has a full schedule every day.

Now there is no need for mobile phone voice assistance to play cards, and no one will call the cards by the side to help, and directly put out the smart voice to broadcast mahjong!

True technology changes life!

It is said that an anonymous person donated more than a dozen sets of fully automatic mahjong tables and smart mahjong tables to the Shanxia Nursing Home. The one with voice broadcast, in addition to shuffling the cards, it can also automatically announce the call when the cards are played!
Elderly people in nursing homes who have poor hands and feet, slurred speech, dysphonia, or low voices especially like these things.

That's assuming, of course, that no one cheats with this high-tech gadgetry.

Someone did try to do something before, and then... Then someone did it (physically).

Since then, the poker atmosphere has gotten a lot better.

Coming here today, Feng Yi just came to have a look.

Look at the ancestral house, look at the dumb uncle, and ask the dumb uncle about the New Year's arrangements by the way.

After reading and asking questions, I was stuffed with tea and wild fruits, and then I was driven down the mountain.

When he got home, Feng Yi started to pack his things. He had to go to the island a few years ago.

"It's almost New Year's Eve, let's take Xiao Xin to Yangcheng to celebrate the New Year with everyone."

This time the housekeeper didn't follow, Feng Yi just went there to pick up someone and check the progress of the renovation.

Compared with the recent cooling winter in Yangcheng, the islands located near the equator are still the same.

Compared with the last time, the renovation progress on the island has taken a big leap forward.The communication station, solar power generation system, security facilities, fresh water system... have all been fully upgraded.

Several houses have already taken shape, and the one where the owner's family lives has already started to do detailed decoration.

The one-meter-wide paintings composed of sand and shells are also placed here.

Island-wide, a wilder style than the previous edition gradually emerged.

Feng Yi is very satisfied, this is a good vacation spot, if there are no satellites above the head, it will be more comfortable here.

The marine iguanas on the reef beach have grown up again.

Or maybe it just swelled around and became more rounded.

Their growth trend seems to be starting the call of the wild in an outrageous direction.

Overall, they've had a good time.

Also too good.

Not long after Feng Yi came to the island, a guest was welcomed here.

Santos, the leader of the Special Dispatch Team of the United Nations Security Bureau of the region to which the island belongs, learned that Feng Yifei was flying to the island, so he came here specially.

At that time, he personally decided to keep these marine iguanas on the island. Santos has been paying attention, and this time he personally came to talk to Feng Yi about the situation of the marine iguanas.

Since these marine iguanas settled here, Santos was amazed at the strong adaptability of these little guys.

When Feng Yi was not on the island, the person in charge here was Xiao Xin.From the last meeting to the present, the communication between Santos' people and Xiao Xin was not very pleasant.Not a verbal conflict.

Santos looked at Xiao Xin who was standing behind Feng Yi.

This island keeper is repulsive in terms of language communication, but he is still not enthusiastic about text information.Don't try to pry more information out of him, except about the iguana.

Turning his attention back to Feng Yi again, Santos said:
"Come here today just to see how they are growing. They are really comfortable here. What a lovely group of animals."

After taking pictures of the marine iguanas, Santos walked from the reef beach to where Feng Yi was.

Those marine iguanas are still very afraid of Feng Yi, as long as Feng Yi approaches, they will jump into the sea.He jumped decisively and had a quick posture.

Every time he sees this situation, Santos will wonder: Is Feng Yi really pickled, and the snake smell is not clean, which makes these marine iguanas so afraid?
Out of respect for the experts of the United Nations Insurance Bureau, Santos is not obsessed with this matter.

Looking around, he said to Feng Yi: "This small island is very interesting, if you want to change hands someday, please contact me first!"

"Yes." Feng Yi said.

Anyway, he has no intention of selling in the short term, and he just responds verbally.

On the day when it was time to change hands, Santos didn't even know if he was still there.

However, from Feng Yi's point of view, although Santos is somewhat interested in this island, and he did pay attention to the marine iguana when he came here today, it is only for superficial purposes.

Quietly waiting for the other party's next words.

"The night sky here must be beautiful!" sighed Santos.

means something.

"Perhaps, I'm here more often. At night, I only see the clouds in the night sky, but I can't see the stars." Feng Yi said.

Create clouds without clouds.

"Maybe one day the weather is good, and we can see a more beautiful starry sky here."

Santos smiled, and said a few words about the investigation of the smuggling case some time ago.What can be said is simply said, and what cannot be said is not mentioned at all.

"Recently and in the next period of time, maritime inspections will be stricter. Oh, a small reminder, if you want to travel by ship, check the information in advance. There will be a joint maritime military exercise involving multiple countries."

"Thanks, if I have relevant plans, I will avoid those sea areas." Feng Yi said.

Is the joint military exercise at this time a pure military exercise, or is it a preparation for something?
Santos raised his index finger: "I still have a small question, I want to ask you strange...not mainstream experts."

"what is the problem?"

Feng Yi didn't bother with the unfinished word in the middle of Santos's words, but responded politely with a smile.

Santos didn't have the slightest bit of embarrassment on his face, and continued: "I saw a Chinese program from a Chinese colleague, "Survivor"? Is it called this?"

Feng Yi: "Yes, yes."

Santos: "You should have also experienced a cold wave there at that time. The lowest temperature was minus forty degrees?"

Feng Yi: "Fifty degrees below zero."

Santos: "Oh, colder. Do you think people in the tropics can handle extreme low temperatures?"

Feng Yi didn't speak, just looked at him quietly.

Extremely low temperatures in the tropics?

What are you alluding to?
Intrinsic weather weapon?
Big guts!
In such a sensitive period, with such a sensitive topic, you can just say it yourself, and you still drag me?Our friendship is far from enough to tell the truth!
Santos: "Just hypothetical."

Feng Yi's face remained unchanged: "It's a very good hypothesis, I can write it in the report. It was proposed by Santos, the leader of a special dispatch team in a certain region..."

Santos: "Forget it, forget about that assumption, and let's talk about cute animals!"

Feng Yi said: "Cute animals are indeed worth talking about, but before that, I also have a question to ask."

"You ask."

"I know that there are many ideas within the UNPA, so, Santos, what do you think about other wild animals in nature?" Feng Yi asked.

Diversity of opinion within the FBA is no secret, and some perceptions are semi-public.

Santos did not hide this question: "Animals? They are important data to me, closely related to the sixth database, and even affect the future direction of all mankind. Whoever destroys these data, I will send him to... Prison !"

"I thought you would be the kind who prefers animals." Feng Yi said.

"Ha! On the contrary, I am actually biased towards human beings. But here I divide people into three classes, good people, human beings, and animals are inferior. If natural disasters come, I will try my best to protect the first class and treat the second class as appropriate."

No more behind.

Feng Yi asked: "What about the third type?"

Santos: "Oh, God bless them."

Translated: Send them to God!
Feng Yi was silent.

As the head of the special investigation team of a large region, it is not appropriate for Santos to say this, but in Santos' view, it has been very euphemistic.

He is passionate and casual, but also has a side that hates evil, and behind these, there may be another side, or many sides that are unknown to everyone.

Santos has experienced climate anomalies and has seen social unrest firsthand.

People who have experienced climate anomalies have a very complicated composition of human nature.

Santos doesn't try to dissect his complexities.There was not much time for small talk, and he quickly left.

Before leaving, Santos asked Feng Yi: "I see your planes are still parked at the airport, do you want to go back later?"

Feng Yi: "No, the weather is good today, I want to see the starry sky of the island."

Santos: "Wise decision, I wish you can see what you want to see. It doesn't matter if you can't see it today, your island, you have a plane, check the weather forecast, you can fly over to see it whenever you want, the problem is always It will be resolved. Technology changes lives."

Feng Yi also smiled and said, "Well, technology changes life."

Santos boarded the plane back, and there was still a lot of work waiting.

Sitting down in his seat, Santos opened an electronic document and marked a few symbols behind Feng Yi's name.

There is another person in the seat opposite him, a colleague of Santos who also holds an important position in the UNPROFOR in the region.This person had never gotten off the plane before, just waiting here.

Seeing the symbol marked by Santos, he was slightly surprised: "Feng Yi is actually a staunch supporter?"

Santos replied: "Whether it is firm is not sure, but it is definitely supported."

"I'm so surprised. A young man of his age, who has not experienced an abnormal climate, has such a clear choice? It's not like the two hesitant and vague attitudes you asked yesterday."

"Yeah, I was also surprised. When I watched the variety show "Survivor" before this, I suspected that he only promoted it as an investor out of the mission given above and his own self-interest. But today I found out that this The kid thinks differently from others!"

"Do you think he will appear at the first exercise site?"

"Obviously, yes! He has ideas and ability."

"Yeah, where is the shareholder of the ancestor factory?"

On the island, Feng Yi watched Santos' plane take off and looked away.

As the invitation cards of the Butterfly Project were distributed to the inviters, more preparations were made, and more and more people knew about the Butterfly Project.

Compared with the whole, those who can know this information are still only a very small part, and Santos's rank in the local UNPROFOR also belongs to the "very few".

Both Feng Yi and Santos knew that the other party knew about Project Butterfly, but neither of them would say it clearly.

This is also a consensus.

Surface secrecy.

It was just a brief exchange that both sides knew well.

Stop and look far away, looking at the sky that meets the sea.

I heard that during this period of time, many high-ranking personnel of the United Nations Insurance Bureau were collecting information, collecting information on the attitudes of experts of all ages within the organization towards the Butterfly Project.

Santos should have made a record today, right?

and many more!

Will Santos, the unruly man, put me in the report?

Feng Yi remembered that he had threatened Santos with the report just now, and sent a message to Santos using the communication station on the island.

Write me better when writing the report!
Otherwise you will appear on my report too!
As the day wore on and the sun went down, the weather was perfect and the view was stunning.But Feng Yi is not interested.

Continue to wait as the light dims and night falls.

Today, he saw points of light in the night sky that looked like stars but moved.That is the light reflected by the artificial satellite.

Compared with 20 years ago, a larger and more complex satellite network is deployed outside the planet.

Feng Yi looked at the "starlight" in the night sky.

From encountering "old technology" to now, I have been so cautious, and it is indeed right!
Well, I've looked up at the starry sky, so let's cover it up.Come on!
