The next day, Zhang Luotuo got up very early, went out when the spaceship was not blocked, went to the restaurant to have breakfast, took the elevator at [-]:[-], walked into the parking lot and waited for Joad.

Joad hadn't come yet, they agreed at nine o'clock.It's five minutes to nine o'clock.Zhang Luotuo walked to the smoking area.He has no desire to smoke, but the view here is very good, and he can see the scenery of Chongqing.Zhang Luotuo looked down, and he could see the giant egg building, the glass thousand-story building where he was, the bright and noisy slums, and the glimmering wealthy district in Jiulongpo far away.

He finds it amazing that all the world is gathered here, Chongqing.In other words, the world is Chongqing.

He once read "Chongqing History" from a book when he was a teenager. Everyone in Chongqing has read it. It is equivalent to the chronicle here.

At that time, he was repairing things while looking absent-mindedly: at the beginning of the 21st century, due to various reasons, the living environment of human beings deteriorated, the climate became worse day by day, the sky became gray, and the frequency of the sun appearing in the sky became less and less, until Finally disappeared in the cloud.The scope of human activities narrowed rapidly, and then experienced a major earthquake, which triggered a tsunami, and many countries disappeared as a result.

At that time, more than 20 surviving countries held a meeting overnight and decided to carry out national integration in order to deal with the cruel natural environment.They chose a safer place to build their capital on the surviving earth ruins, that is, Chongqing, a place where it rains all day long.This moment represents the end of the old world and the establishment of a new one.

He tried to learn more about the old world, but "History of Chongqing" only talked about it in one page. Create a brilliant era of intelligence within the year: imitating people, spaceships, and the computer world.

It mentioned Eleven Company, where Zhang Luotuo worked, in an enthusiastic tone.Eleven Company was established at the beginning of the capital and grew up with science and technology. It provides a lot of job opportunities for people living in Chongqing: food, toys, clothing, Eleven Company provides almost everything, and later, it has taken over employment in Chongqing 90.00% of nine.

On the cover is a photo of Q. He is the founder of Eleven Company. His eyes are firm and persistent, and his cheeks are thick. He seems to be chewing the opportunities the world gives him. He is more like a philosopher than a businessman.

Someone was talking on the phone behind him. He was smoking and talking loudly. Zhang Luotuo could hear him clearly.He speaks mainly in Chinese, and when some nouns are mentioned, the language changes to Japanese and Korean.Zhang Luotuo guessed that he used to be Chinese, but was influenced by other languages.

After living in Chongqing, people from different countries have to learn their own languages ​​to communicate, because they are all from the same country now.In this era, the language system gradually merged into one, and people expressed their ideas in various languages.Zhang Luotuo speaks a little Spanish, but mostly Chinese.

bang bang.Someone knocked on the glass door of the smoking area.Zhang Luotuo looked back.Joad nodded at him from outside the glass door, frowning, in a gray suit and trousers, with a quartz watch in his left hand.

They boarded Joad's spaceship. Zhang Luotuo secretly looked at his own spaceship when he got on the spaceship. He didn't know if the navigator was turned off.It has always had some opinions on the latest spacecraft, because they are uniformly equipped with the new No.15 generation navigator.

He fastened his seat belt. This was his first time sitting in the co-pilot. He had been in Zheng Zheng's spaceship in the past, but he was in charge of the pilot, while Zheng Zheng painted bright orange nail polish on the side.

The spaceship took off, and it seemed to stop smoothly on the ground, without any sound from the engine.If Zhang Luotuo hadn't looked out the window, he wouldn't have known he had left the land.The horizon slid downward, and countless spaceships were left on the dock like beetles.

The glass building has become smaller, and under the translucent blue body of the virtual image, pedestrians are walking, with hundreds of millions of invisible network cables passing through it, and everyone's language forms a heavy blue rain in the sky.

A sculpture towers into the sky.That is the statue of Q, which was erected for him in Chongqing. It was built in Yuzhong District, the center of the city, in front of Eleven Company, to commemorate his bringing human beings into the intelligent age.Zhang Luotuo could imagine his appearance without looking at his face: wearing a windbreaker, hands behind his back, eyes wide open, lips tightly pressed, and an obvious scar on his thick cheek.The sculpture is silver in color as a whole, and even on a rainy day, it can be seen that he is freshly washed and glows in the night sky.

Zhang Luotuo stared out of the window intently until Joad said sarcastically, "Have you never been in this kind of spaceship?"

Only then did Zhang Luotuo realize that he was surprised.He thought about it, and decided to answer honestly instead of going back provocatively: "I haven't been on it, my spaceship model is very old."

This answer may have surprised Jod. He showed a strange expression, like that time when he was holding a beer in front of the office, and Zhang Luotuo looked at each other, and didn't know what to say for a while-they were completely quiet.

The spaceship continued to move forward.

Joad controlled the spaceship with one hand, and picked up the cigarettes in his pocket with the other. Zhang Luotuo noticed that he was a little anxious.When the flying police in front were routinely inspecting the spaceship, causing them to stop accordingly, Joad looked forward unconsciously and tapped the flying disc slightly with his hand.

His anxiety was so slight that it was almost imperceptible. Zhang Luotuo looked at it for a while before he asked with certainty: "Are you nervously waiting for a visit later?"

This is related to the performance of Eleven Company, and the toy department is ready every year.

Qiao De was stunned for a moment with a cigarette in his mouth, as if he didn't expect Zhang Luotuo to ask this.But he didn't answer Zhang Luotuo's question, instead he answered irrelevantly: "Today we are going to meet a craftsman, you may have heard of him, Fan Liu."

Zhang Luotuo knew about Fan Liu, he had read about him in a book, and the book introduced him like this: one of the most famous craftsmen in Chongqing when the capital was established, he created the first generation of robotic pet dog Liuliu, which became popular in Chongqing as soon as it was launched, At that time, Chongqing had just been established as the capital, and people who were at a loss needed to be comforted. Liuliu occupied people's hearts like this, because people had never seen such a thing.But not long after, the "Liu Liu Chao" declined.Infinite toys, endless new functions, the era of technological explosion, in the city where silver light tubes and neon lights are intertwined, new things are the easiest old favorites to become obsolete. With the advancement of technology, Fan Liu gradually disappeared on the huge toy map.

"We visited him before, and we have almost talked with him. Today I will sign a contract with him, and you have a greater responsibility." Joad said.

"How to say?" Zhang Luotuo asked, abandoning his previous question, he saw that Qiao De didn't want to answer.

"We are going to reproduce Liuliu this time." Joad said, "Robot toys have reached a bottleneck period. We want to try to use memories to arouse people's freshness. In the past, Liuliu was almost synonymous with robot pets."

Zhang Luotuo nodded, but Qiao De didn't pay attention, and continued: "He agreed to let us reproduce Liuliu. He still has the model of the original Liuliu, but he has a weird temper. He doesn't want us to take it away, but only allows us to face it. Observe Liuliu, that is to say, when you go this time, you will use microelectronic instruments and your brain to sort out Liuliu's various data records."

He threw over an electronic instrument, which was also the latest model.Zhang Luotuo caught it from the air: "So this time it's just a reprint? Or will new functions be added?"

"Add a new function - sickness and death system. The robot toy will simulate the sickness and death of a real person." Joad looked ahead, overtaking a spaceship. "Usually robotic toys break, but they don't die or get sick. We're going to simulate that to add realism to the toy."

"It doesn't sound good." Zhang Luotuo put the electronic device on his chest, it looked like a brooch.He changed his sitting posture, "It will make the owner very sad."

Joad said coldly: "But it is also very fresh for the owner. The current pets are not special. And new engineering projects can be added, such as the robot toy hospital and the robot toy cemetery."

His words made Zhang Luotuo angry, and he immediately retorted: "Not necessarily. Mao Mao is special to me, and I don't want to keep other toys. I can't think of it dying. Maybe after I die, I will be buried in the In Feishan Cemetery, I will entrust it to someone else and ask him to take care of it." Speaking of this, he thought of something, "You saw it yesterday. What do you think? Isn't it cute? "

There was no answer, and Zhang Luotuo felt that there would never be an answer.Joad said nothing, facing forward.

Zhang Luotuo moved his eyes away.

"It's okay." Suddenly, a voice came from the side, and Joad muttered, coughing unnaturally.

Zhang Luotuo turned around and looked at him holding the steering wheel, the tip of his nose was a little red.

"Your nose is red." He tilted his head maliciously and reminded.

Joad's ears were also red.

Five kilometers away, the famous No. 100 red light district.At [-]:[-], they arrived here and parked the spaceship in the expensive parking lot.The dock is facing Qianhui Market.The famous black market, drugs, jewellery, antiques, rare twentieth-century books, you name it.At the door sat a weary boxer, fresh from a bout, his face hidden behind cigarette smoke, a Japanese yen bill in his hand.Zhang Luotuo raised his head. There are hundreds of hanging tags hanging on this [-]-meter promenade, bright blue and dark black. They shine instead of the sun during the day.

Joad walked in front, and many people looked back at him. He was different from the people here, and everyone could see it.

It was easy to cross the corridor, except for a few men in sequined raincoats to catch up. "Coffee?" they asked.Zhang Luotuo followed Qiao De closely and tried not to look at them. His experience in dealing with girls only came from Zheng Zheng, so he didn't know what to do.

The sound of □□ slipped through the spicy steam and sounded behind.

"I see, they are a couple, boyfriend and boyfriend." They said with a brazen smile.

Zhang Luotuo was a little embarrassed.But Joad seems unresponsive, in fact, when he walks into Qianhui market, he is just moving forward, he turns a blind eye to everyone, with his usual arrogant irrelevant attitude, just like in the company Zhang Luotuo admired him a lot.

They gradually walked to the end of Qianhui Market. Zhang Luotuo will never forget the fresh air outside the blue canopy. The thick cigarettes and addictive taste in the second half of the market are too pungent. People here have given up on themselves and indulged in it .He looked up, and behind Qianhui Market was a row of six-storey Chinese-style apartments, which looked dwarf in the urban jungle.Zhang Luotuo remembered this.The area of ​​the former wealthy district.

He said: "Jinshan Apartment."

Qiao De was surprised: "You know?" It seemed that he didn't believe that Zhang Luotuo would understand this place.

Zhang Luotuo explained: "I know there is no name here now, but it was written on the previous map."

Zhang Luotuo likes to look up everything about Chongqing, including history and maps.Zheng Zheng named his behavior "boring curiosity caused by too much work".But Zhang Luotuo didn't care, this was his favorite thing besides repairing.When the map is opened and the fingerprint switch is pressed, tens of thousands of buildings and spaceships are erected on the paper, as if looking at a small world.The slums, the rich districts, the place where he lives, he memorizes almost everything about the map of Chongqing, and every year when a new version of the map comes out, he will go to buy it.He even thought that when he retired from the company in a few decades and was no longer busy, he would drive the spaceship, stay in each place for a while, and then go to find the hidden no man's land, just like an adventure.

He couldn't help smiling.And Joad noticed his smile, showing a look similar to confusion, maybe because he didn't understand what he was thinking.

Together they entered the apartment and took the elevator to the fifth floor.

Only then did Zhang Luotuo understand why this place was called the former rich district.The outside of the building looks ordinary and outdated, but inside the building, everything uses the latest technology.When Joad rang the doorbell, a blue screen popped up from the cat's eye, grabbing Joad's face like a net for facial recognition.Five seconds later, the door issued crisp music, and the inner screw and lock began to rotate, as if the bell of the Spring Festival was ringing, and the door slowly opened.

Zhang Luotuo felt that Qiao De was a little anxious, but it might be a hallucination.The anxiety was like an instant tide, flickering in a tiny amount of time, and then fleeting with the opening of the Qiao Demen.

"Come in." For a moment Zhang Luotuo thought it was his hallucination.The curtains in the room were not drawn, and his vision was dim, so he couldn't see clearly.He could only look at Joad beside him.He caught Joad nodding somewhere in the room.Zhang Luotuo blinked and exhausted his energy when repairing things, only to find that at the end of the room, a huge white crane swam down from the ceiling and flew to the round table facing the door, where an old man was sitting.His hair was rough and white, and his body was bloated and huge, like an old giant whale, with a slight soft light all over his body.

He caressed the ring on the middle finger of his right hand with his left hand, and said in pure Mandarin, "Sit."

Before he could finish the word "sit", his body shook for a bit, then flickered, and his head became transparent.After a few seconds, the color around him slowly returned to richness.

Zhang Luotuo remembered something, he looked towards the curtain, there was indeed a small round hole in it.It was throwing a beam of light downward, and the light was falling on the old man and the white crane.When the light shakes, the white crane and the old man also flicker, sometimes even disappearing.

He understands.

Both Baihe and the old man are virtual images.
