Miao Jin said solemnly: "What the Holy Majesty said is very true, you can change your job in the future and come to Taicang to study with you."

Gao Xu turned his head away and shook his head slightly.

The two walked blindly in the suburban town, sometimes walking to the vending machine, brushing their faces to get two bottles of water to drink.If it was normal, it would be tiring to walk a little farther, but this afternoon Gao Xu did not know how long he walked, and he felt that the time passed very quickly.

Gao Xu found everything she said very interesting.He saw her every smile and frown, and thought it was wonderful.

But time flies, Miao Jin is going home.Gao Xu wanted to drive her off, but it was only two hundred miles away, and it didn't take long to take the expressway.But she insisted on going back by bullet train, and said that her family would pick her up at the station.

So Gao Xu took the car and sent her to Suzhou Station.

After booking the ticket, Miao Jin walked to an electronic screen, and after hearing the voice, the two walked to the security checkpoint.She turned around, looked up at Gao Xu, and suddenly asked, "Do you like that Miss Annan a little bit?"

Xiao Ruan was mentioned again.Gao Xu suddenly thought that Miao Jin must be dissatisfied when he had many concubines in the past, he was just patient.

Gao Xu said helplessly: "Don't worry, I've always dared to admit it, and I will tell you if I really have anything to do with her. Of course, that's impossible."

Miao Jin still muttered: "You are a remnant of feudalism, very greedy."

She thought for a while and said, "But men are careless. Look at what they are wearing. I will come over tomorrow and take her to buy some clothes."

Gao Xu: ""

Miao Jin observed him, and said with a smile, "Don't think about it. My brother's friend has a state-owned enterprise in Annan. When the time comes, I will ask someone to help her and find her a better job, so that you and I will be relieved. "

Gao Xu said casually, "I owe you a favor."

"Don't be so out of touch, okay? You make it sound like you and Mrs. Annan are on your own?" Miao Jin frowned and snorted.

Gao Xu said, "Okay."

Miao Jin persuaded again: "I don't want to control you too tightly, but I sympathize with the little girl. This kind of young girl is greedy for your money at the beginning, but after getting involved, she can easily rely on you. At that time, you were just playing around, what should I do?"

Gao Xu rubbed his forehead and said helplessly, "I didn't do anything."

Miao Jin held his hand, and then gently let go: "Then I'm leaving."

Gao Xu said: "My family has received you, send me a message."

Miao Jin smiled and nodded, "Yes."

Gao Xu stood outside, watching her walk in.Miao Jin turned her head several times in a row, and when she reached the stairs, she smiled and waved to him again.

After Miao Jin disappeared under the escalator, Gao Xu turned around and left, went to the parking lot to pick up the car, and went home alone.I listened to the broadcast for a while in the car, went home and took a shower, and then continued to watch TV alone.Xiao Ruan didn't come this afternoon, probably because he thought there was a woman at his house.

In the Ming Dynasty after urbanization, a large number of people gathered in cities and towns, but people's lives became more and more alienated.In the past two months, Gao Xu found that he was alone most of the time except for working hours.

Gao Xu took the remote control panel and changed several channels, some old mechanical equipment appeared on the TV, and the camera was aimed at several people in white robes and helmets.

A woman's voice said: "50 years ago, Sheng Changqing, the richest man in the world, invested in a cryonics institution before his death, and it is still operating normally. Mr. Sheng Changqing suffered from lung cancer. Because the medical technology at that time could not cure it, he chose to freeze himself. , hoping that future technological breakthroughs will allow him to receive effective treatment. Mr. Sheng Changqing has also become the world's first human body to be frozen."

Then a microphone was placed in front of a man in white robe.The white robe said humanely: "Mr. Sheng signed the document, and the wake-up time is set to be 50 years later. Today is the deadline."

The woman said: "Are you going to wake up Mr. Sheng?"

The white robe said humanely: "Currently, there is no such technology, so the terms cannot be fulfilled. The organization decided to continue to maintain the status quo."

The woman asked again: "Is there no treatment technology?"

The white robe said humanely: "Yes, cancer experts from Jingshi Medical University have confirmed that there is still no way to cure patients with advanced lung cancer. The bigger problem is that we don't have the technology to wake up frozen people."

He took a breath into the camera, and said again: "The cryonics plan 50 years ago was to drain the blood before he was alive, fill it with freezing liquid, and freeze it quickly after obtaining the authorization of the person concerned. damage. If we thawed the body now, we all agreed that it would be impossible to bring the frozen body back to life."

The woman said: "Come back to life? You mean, these frozen people are already dead?"

The white-robed man smiled, and immediately said with a straight face: "Of course, how can a person who has been frozen for half a century still be alive? But we cannot give a rigorous answer. Because the subject of individual consciousness is not our research direction.

There are psychologists in the fake museum who are studying consciousness, you can ask them.As far as I know, research and analysis are mainly carried out through experiments on people in a state of near-death.In addition neurologists also have research in this area. "

The woman said: "I heard that after death, the mass will decrease. Do you think people have souls?"

The man in white robe shook his head and said, "I don't know."

The woman asked, "How many frozen people are here?"

The man in white robe turned his head and took a look: "More than 30."

The woman asked again: "Are they all rich?"

The white-robed man was silent for a while, then waved his hands and said, "I have no right to answer this question. Mr. Sheng Changqing's identity was made public at that time, so we only mentioned him, which is harmless."

The woman took back the microphone and said, "Thank you for your cooperation in the interview."

Seeing this, Gao Xu smiled to himself.

It seems that from more than 2000 years to the present, people's minds have not changed much.Qin Shihuang once pursued immortality, but now that industrial science and technology have been highly developed, the world is still unwilling to face death.

Sometimes I feel that if I think too far, everything is just tragedy and silence.

Just then, a message came from the phone.Gao Xu opened it and saw a message from Miao Jin: Here we are, see you tomorrow.

With a smile on his face, Gao Xu replied: Received.

He half-lyed on the big soft Chinese-style chair, recalled it for a while, and thought: When Miao Jin was lying on the bed in the imperial concubine's palace with his eyes closed, if he could say "see you tomorrow", it might relieve his pain.

Gao Xu turned off the TV, stood up on the small bookshelf behind the chair, picked up a book, and threw it on the coffee table.

He was sitting alone in a chair reading a book, unknowingly the light outside the glass door of the balcony was dim, and the night was gradually falling.He boiled water to make a pot of tea, held the teacup and pushed open the glass door to the balcony, with his elbows on the railing, still admiring the night view of the town.

Behind the lights everywhere, in the faint sound of music, there should be a variety of modern nightlife, and the urban area is densely populated and may be more abundant.Gao Xu has no interest at the moment, and his mentality is still not as good as that of the native young people here.

Chapter One Thousand and Eight

The next day Gao Xu went to work as usual, and when he was in the car, he sent Miao Jin the address where Xiao Ruan lived.Then he called Xiao Ruan again, talking about his friend taking her shopping in the afternoon.

Sun Jing was quite busy in the morning, calling the managers for a regular meeting, and then dealing with various things in the office, and Xiao You has been helping her.

Gao Xu is a little free when he doesn't go out to work, his desk is next to Xiaoyou, and there is still a computer on the desk.

Usually, Xiaoyou has something to do, so he won't ask more questions, and he won't sit and check her phone.Sometimes Xiao You has free time and is interested in the books Gao Xu is reading, so he takes the initiative to chat with him, and only then will Gao Xu take the opportunity to ask some questions.He was reading a printed book by the computer: common office software study manual.

Near noon, Sun Jing walked to the French window with her mobile phone and began to talk about private matters there.

Seeing this, Gao Xu put down the book, turned to Xiaoyou and said, "Xiaoyou, does our company provide employee benefits, such as buying products at a relatively low price?"

Xiao You immediately nodded and said, "Yes, but you can't buy too much."

"Just one set of things." Gao Xu said, "How to operate?"
