take care of

They didn't go to the lab for the entire Christmas-New Year holiday.

Gu Qing opened the third floor that had not been used for a long time, and carried out the black box that had been put away.Leon followed him every day to review the homework assigned by Suzanne. Seeing that Lu Qing's complexion was getting worse day by day, he became more and more silent.When the two were eating, Gu Qing looked at the plate several times and seemed to be full, and kept watching Leon eat.Leon ate several times under great pressure, but finally couldn't take it anymore.

"Dad, isn't your secret work going well?" Leon asked him quietly when he was going to bed at night.

It's not going well.Gu Qing went to London to preliminarily set the formula for the queen to use. In the past few days, he made several social predictions for the implementation of the queen. It seems that the queen did not solve the problems that human society will face, but would cause fundamental social unrest.Lu Qing knew that his actions were just a waste of time, what he needed to do was to perform a real simulation in his mind, but he was worried that he would not be able to come back - he will be 33 soon, and Juan at this time has rarely done anything This kind of large-scale prediction is too much, let alone him who has no anchor.

The child blinked and looked at him with concern, as if he had stepped out of the shadow of the two who were not his own.Lu Qing didn't want to hit him again at this time, making him feel like losing his adoptive father, but he seemed to have no choice.The relationship between him and Leon seems to be true as Willis said, it is better to hand him over to a more suitable person.

"Leon, if I haven't woken up by this time on the 2nd, you can go to Willis's house and call him."

"You have to sleep for so long?" He opened his eyes wide.

"I've been too tired recently, take a rest." Gu Qing said to him, "Go back to your own room and call Mingyue if you're afraid."

"Are you lying to me? You don't eat much, and you don't sleep much." Leon asked him.

"Ghostly and clever," Lu Qing stuffed him with a pillow, "it's a 'secret job', and you'll sleep a little longer, don't be afraid."

"Oh." Leon picked up his pillow, stood on the ground and said goodnight to him.

Leon hugged the pillow and peeked at him from the crack of the door.Daddy in the shadow soon breathed evenly, and it was not the same as before.Leon walked back lightly and pushed him, but Gu Qing remained motionless.He climbed up from the corner of the bed and put the pillow back where it had been.

"I don't want to sleep by myself." Leon lay on his stomach and said softly, "I'll wait for you here."

Gu Qing didn't answer, Leon stuffed his hand under his, and fell asleep in a daze.

The time of Gu Qing in the dream starts from 2030.After several large-scale wars, the total number of human beings who have lost the ability to reproduce has dropped to 20 billion. Government organizations have disappeared, and people have formed online communities to manage each other. In 2030, science and technology will be developed unprecedentedly. Compared with pets that need to be taken care of, companionship with robots has become a mainstream way of life. The queen became a new breeding method at this time, and the world ushered in a baby boom. The sweet time did not last long. Because of the ethical issues caused by the queen, the newborn population became a new type of pet, and many people adopted non-parental babies for their pets. Playing, abandoned babies, and baby abuse occur frequently.

In 2050, the parent-child relationship is unprecedentedly weak, the concept of family is also forgotten, and the marriage relationship officially disappears from human history.

In 2080, the year Juan predicted came.The new artificial man imprisoned all natural persons together, and massacred and killed those old people in the same way.The new artificial humans use the queen as a way to supplement the labor force, centralize the management of babies, implement a strict hierarchical promotion system, and young people become the targets of being squeezed.

In 2130, the robots cultivated by natural people killed the new artificial humans, realizing the liberation of the working population.The new working population destroyed the queen and decided to eliminate human beings, and robots represent the continuation of human civilization.Robots longing for a human body will save the queen one or two as a kind of memorial.

The history in calculation is far more sensational than what the machine sees.Lu Qing wanted to restart the deduction, but continued to calculate according to this timeline.

He went all the way to 3020. Robots have replaced humans and become synonymous with the new concept of "human beings". There are very few real humans, and only a very small number of people are born from queens every year and are carefully raised by robots.Those who are alive are no different from the current pandas. Living is the meaning and value of their lives.

Standing outside the door of the artificial human organ, Gu Qing saw several cats and dogs.They used to be human's pets, and now live much more freely than humans.

This is the cruelest version of his deduction.In the version with the largest population, the government organization was not disbanded, but was directly integrated and changed into a strict imperial promotion level, maintaining the principle of the new population as a labor force supplement, and it has survived stably for more than 900 years.After that, the oppressed labor class set off a revolution. Although most of the population still died, there were still [-] million people left.

Although there were many people in that version, there was no technological explosion, and it was more like a donkey trapped in the previous historical nightmare and unable to extricate itself.Standing at the door of the artificial human mechanism where the grass was growing taller, Gu Qing lowered his head and petted a cat.In his deduction, he seems to have forgotten the factor of animal evolution, and he will have to take this into consideration next time.

The cat under his hand disappeared, and the grass slowly retreated. Lu Qing looked up at the bluer sky and better technology than before, and suddenly found that he had forgotten when the "before" he thought of was.After a moment of hesitation, the cat rubbed against his palm again, the grass grew wildly, the queen mechanism was dilapidated, night fell quickly, and there were large beasts roaring in the jungle in the distance.

He has gone too far, it seems that there is really no going back.

Lyon wakes up early in the morning.He hugged the pillow and quietly climbed down from Gu Qing's bed, and made himself some breakfast.The house is very quiet, he is the only one active, very boring.He finished the sandwich by himself, took a bowl of cereal and went into Gu Qing's room.

"Dad?" Leon pushed him.

Gu Qing didn't respond.Leon put the bowl on the rug and quietly placed his hand on his cheek.It's okay not to touch it, Leon was immediately let go by the high temperature on his face.His dad looked normal, his eyebrows stretched.Leon went back to his room and took a forehead temperature gun to take a picture of him, and the forehead temperature gun beeped "beep beep" - 104℉.

Gu Qing told him not to worry, but he was almost worried to death now.He tried to feed Gu Qing a spoonful of water, and the water flowed down the corner of his mouth.He's just sick and won't die, and he promised to grow up with him a few days ago.Leon squeezed his eyes hard, climbed onto the bed, knelt there and looked at Gu Qing.

Lu Qing didn't dare to move forward, and he didn't dare to retreat rashly. He slowed down the timeline and stayed in 3020 first.Not being anchored is a very troublesome thing. He may not be able to go back in the future, or he may not be able to get out in the past.Rather than being trapped in the known past, Gu Qing hopes that he can stay in the future. He can deduce endlessly until the body left in reality dies.

Truth is the unstoppable pace of human pursuit.The happiest moment in every Gaia is the moment when you can see the endless future actually happening before your eyes, compared with this moment, all reality is illusory.

He was stationed in the artificial human institution that had been abandoned for a long time, and wanted to see if someone would wake up from the fate of watching animals and start the machine again.The characters and props used for deduction would not have discovered him and talked to him, but slowly, they discovered Lu Qing and tried to start a conversation with him.

"My name is Dodd, I have never seen you in the human world." A humanoid robot said to him.

"I know a robot named Sedleia, she lived in 2005."

"As far as we know, the first ancestor with simulated genitals."

"You thank the natural person." Gu Qing said to him.

"Of course they are our gods."

"God is dead." Gu Qing said.

"We want to bring God back to life," said the robot. "We've always wanted to bring them back to life. There will be pregnant mothers in the streets, born with love, and we will protect them forever."

That's something that can't happen again.Lu Qing looked at the robot that seemed to have a real mind, and said to him: "It's so big outside, leave the earth and go out and have a look."

"As soon as we are gone, these human pets will be killed by other animals immediately, so God can never be resurrected."

"Try it, in the years without you, human beings have continued."

After all, Lu Qing did not stay in 3020.He removed the robot from the causal chain, and once again human beings and animals that were many times more ferocious than "before" remained in the world.He saw people die, someone restarted the queen, and humanity ushered in another baby boom.In the face of the threat of animals, they stood together again, family and family were redefined, and everything returned to the starting point where everything was left to be done.

There is nothing terrible about artificial people, and there is no need to worry about the queen's future.The population sometimes increases and sometimes decreases, but it continues.Standing in the 3060 breeding facility, Gu Qing saw this.

The timeline can continue to move forward, and Lu Qing still has the ability to move forward, since he can't go back, then let's continue to move forward.

In the afternoon, Gu Qing's fever was still high. Leon found Willis's phone number, but he couldn't get through.He locked Gu Qing and set off on the bicycle in his yard.It was hours before Dad sent him to Willis, but he couldn't wait until then.He vaguely remembered that he seemed to have lived by himself when he was very young, and that feeling was too bad, so he didn't want to try.

He braved the cold wind and rode all the way to the gate of Willis's house. He was stopped by the police twice on the way, and he passed the pass smoothly by relying on his communication skills.

"Willis!" He slammed on the door of his house.

"Why are you here?" A few minutes later, a fat man in a hunting suit opened the door.

"Quick, my dad, go and see my dad." Leon said to him out of breath.

"What's wrong? You speak slowly."

Leon told Willis everything he could think of since the holiday.

"He had a fever before you came?"

"Yes," Leon nodded, "the fever is extremely severe."

"Didn't you give him medicine and injections?" Willis frowned.

"No, I dare not and I won't." Leon replied simply.

"Good boy," said Willis.

Leon lifted the bike into the trunk and drove home with Willis.

"You know you're adopted?"

"Well," Leon nodded, "It's much better. Dad has been with me these days. Do you have any good ideas? I don't want to lose him again."

"Leon," Willis said after driving steadily for a while, "he asked you to call me, probably not for him, but for you."

"I don't believe it," Leon shook his head, "Stop talking, I don't believe it."

"That's what I thought when my best friend left me," Willis told him.

"Then what can we do?"

"Pray," Willis said. "Pray that he comes back from the fever."

Gu Qing never prays, he has no religious beliefs, and he does not celebrate any festivals.Preachers would stop him on the road, and he would listen calmly, but never nod in agreement.Will God bless such a person?

"How can I help him?"

Willis glanced at him in the rearview mirror: "You may not remember, he refused your help when you were very young."

Leon thought hard, but couldn't think of anything.All he could think about now was a bad Christmas and his dad lying unconscious in bed.What is the "secret work" that Lu Qing has been busy with?How could he help him?

"I want to help him, work secretly!"

"If you're like Darcy, you might be able to help him now and then," Willis said to him. "You're too young now."

Too small, and Leon knew it.Because of his young age, he couldn't do anything except pull Gu Qing's hind legs. If Gu Qing hadn't brought him back, wouldn't his "secret work" have been successful long ago?A different kind of sadness and depression came together in my heart.

"Hey, don't cry, or he will blame me again when he wakes up."

Leon rubbed his sore eyes, holding back the tears, as long as he can wake up, he is willing to do anything.

The author has something to say:

There was a major power outage in the community, and the hotspot of the mobile phone was even more frequent.

The imperial capital will leave the air conditioner this month, please don’t pass o(╥﹏╥)o
