Vague: The smoke waves are faint, the sea of clouds is faint, and now, the future of human civilization seems to be beginning to be faint...
This is the twentieth year that Dai Zixuan has stood on the podium.
In the first eight years after graduating from graduate school, he felt that time passed very slowly. He fell in love, broke up, got married, had children, was evaluated for professional titles, and became a class teacher. It seemed that he could still roughly recall what happened every year until today, without the need to use his own AI external cloud brain.
But from the ninth year, since that incident, when he and everyone else on this earth hoped that time could slip away a little slower, it was contrary to his wishes.
The next twelve years seemed to have been accelerated, at least 8 times faster.
He only remembered that he stood on this podium, as the main science teacher, took over from the second semester of the second year of high school, sent off a group of third-year students every two years, and then repeated the cycle.
Every time he would say: "You are the worst class I have ever taught."
But every time the college entrance examination results are released, his reputation rises a little.
Just like the temperature in recent years, especially in the past two years.
Twelve years ago, scientists around the world issued an unprecedented warning: the earth's temperature has entered an irreversible rising channel.
The consistency of the caliber is rare.
At first, he, like many people, thought that this was just a repetition of history and alarmist talk.
After all, where would their research funds come from if they don't create a sense of crisis and panic?
However, the real physical feeling and the frequent events around the world in recent years all remind him: this time is different.
At this moment, although the air conditioner in the classroom is working strongly, he still feels dry mouth.
This feeling is not just physiological.
Yesterday, the community and the school issued a notice at the same time that due to the continued high temperature and seawater backflow, the fresh water supply is expected to be interrupted for about a week, and each household needs to prepare for water storage in advance.
This is in Shanghai, in Lingang! Surrounded by the sea, there is also a Dishui Lake in the area, and many high-tech desalination companies are stationed here. How could there be a shortage of fresh water? ! He has lived for 45 years, and this is the first time he has encountered such a situation. But it will probably not be the last time. Looking at the 30 students sitting neatly in front of him, he adjusted his mood, adjusted his frameless glasses, and said: "Dear students, after taking over this class, the short four months have passed quickly, and summer vacation will start tomorrow. If I were you, I might not relax at all. After all, the college entrance examination will be held in a year, and according to my own experience, the summer vacation after the college entrance examination is the most enjoyable-of course, the premise is that you have done well in the exam..." There was a helpless laugh from the audience. "...So, before we leave get out of class, do you have any questions? After all, we will meet again in two months." "Teacher Dai, I have a question..." A girl with a ponytail and high myopia glasses asked cautiously: "Will the situation get worse?" Dai Zixuan's heart sank. She didn't say what the situation was, but everyone knew what she was talking about.
However, he didn't intend to resonate with such a meaningless self-pity.
"Don't worry, it won't affect your college entrance examination next year. Don't think of using this as an excuse to let yourself go during the summer vacation."
The girl burst out laughing.
The solemn atmosphere just now eased a little.
Dai Zixuan didn't want everyone to just laugh so shallowly.
"My fellow students, I have lived 30 years longer than you. Although you now have the help of artificial intelligence (AI) to acquire knowledge and information much more easily than I do, and can easily surpass my reserves, I can still shamelessly be your teacher in terms of experience. Besides, the college entrance examination strictly prohibits the use of other AI facilities except for the designated 'exam assistants'..." "The question that Ai Jia asked just now is essentially a fear of change, or a fear of getting worse. From my own experience, this issue needs to be viewed dialectically. Changes are of course happening all the time. When I was born, my parents and their peers seemed to like to name their children with ancient-looking characters such as 'Zi', 'Xuan', and 'Ran', which led to me knowing no less than ten 'Zixuan's since I was a child, as if everyone lacked wood in the five elements..." More people in the audience laughed. "And now, your names have returned to simplicity, almost all of them are two characters. For example, take the college entrance examination as an example. Since the college entrance examination was resumed, the subjects of the college entrance examination were very simple at the beginning, 3+1, 3+2, and then gradually there were arts comprehensive, science comprehensive, 3+X, 3+2+1, 3+3, etc. Later, it became more complicated, and each place was different, just like the separatist regimes. But in recent years, there seems to be a trend of simplifying and unifying. I gave these two examples to illustrate that although changes are happening, they will eventually return to the mean and have cycles..." At this point, Dai Zixuan's heart "clicked". "Do I believe this?"
This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.
Just as he was asking himself, a rough voice came out from the audience: "Teacher Dai, Ai Jia asked too shyly, let me do it!
Do you think the Spark Project can succeed? Are you a perpetual sleeper or an ascensionist?"
Dai Zixuan had not locked his eyes on the source of the voice, but he had already identified it through his ears.
He frowned slightly.
In every class, no matter how good the overall grades and academic style are, there are always a few undisciplined thorns who regard ignorance as personality, and regard nausea as fun,
and regard the external capabilities given by AI as their own gifts, and most obviously, regard the power and wealth of their parents as their own forbidden delicacy that they can explore and inherit anytime and anywhere.
Zou Tong is the thorn in this class.
However, students' questions still need to be answered.
"The Spark Project has been implemented for twelve years. Whether it can succeed depends on the cooperation of the United Nations and governments of various countries and every person on Earth. I can't answer you. After all, I am not the Secretary-General of the United Nations, nor the President of a country, and I cannot represent the human beings on Earth. I can only represent myself... In addition, its progress is all public data, and you can find out with a search." "Teacher Dai, in fact, I am more concerned about whether you are a perpetual sleeper or an ascensionist." Zou Tong shook his big head and continued to ask. He had a short flat head, and the fat on his face and the hostility in his eyes prematurely dispelled the youthfulness that should have been natural and precious at his age. Dai Zixuan felt a fire in his chest. He tried to suppress such emotions, but it didn't seem to be particularly effective. "This has nothing to do with you. I believe that everyone has their own choices. Although we are teacher-student relationships, and I have to accompany you through a year of thorny roads, that doesn't mean I need to tell you about this... Or, I can ask you in return, Zou Tong, which sect are you from?"
"I am from the Youth Sect! Hahaha..." As soon as he finished speaking, Zou Tong seemed to think that it was a bit too much, so he restrained himself a little, but still tilted his head and said with a smile: "I must be from the Ascension Sect, so that I can stay in Lingjinghui every day and never come out."
"Don't you have to be an adult to play Lingjinghui? You are not yet 18 years old."
"Teacher Dai, you are not really naive to think that This rule can stop me, right? "
"If I have evidence, you will be punished."
"Okay, okay... Teacher Dai, don't be so serious. At least, I will never be a perpetual sleeper. Only a fool would freeze his own body..."
At this point, Zou Tong seemed to have thought of something. He tilted his body and shouted at a boy who had been very quiet in the corner: "Menjie Liefu, only a fool like your father would be a guinea pig! No, the guinea pig is at least alive, he is frozen meat!"
The boy was quite handsome, with a slightly pale face. Under the thick and slightly messy black hair, there was a sword-like eyebrow and a pair of shiny black eyes. Under the high nose bridge, the natural vermilion of the lips was more vivid against the background of the complexion.
He had been silently watching everything that happened in the classroom in the last class before the summer vacation in the corner, as if he was not one of them.
He didn't expect that he would be caught in the crossfire.
However, after hearing what Zou Tong said, he was not anxious, but smiled.
"Zou Tong, my name is Mendeleev, not Mendeleev. I did not invent the periodic table."
"Hehe, don't flatter yourself! Who said you are Mendeleev? You are Mendeleev, the inferior one! How can a child born from frozen meat be a good product?" Zou Tong was very proud of the homophonic pun he had just thought of in a flash.
He looked very cultured.
There were a few scattered laughs in the classroom, all from Zou Tong's wingmen on weekdays.
"When my father gave birth to me, he had not yet participated in the human cryogenic hibernation experiment." Mendeleev was not annoyed, and still answered in a soft voice.
"You..." Zou Tong felt like he had punched a soft cotton ball.
"Okay! Zou Tong, if today's class was the first class of the new semester, you would have been asked to leave the classroom by now!" Dai Zixuan shouted.
"Hehe... Teacher Dai, isn't this the last class? Summer vacation is coming soon, I'm just here to liven up the atmosphere, please forgive me, okay?" Dai Zixuan took a deep breath, adjusted his frameless glasses, and smoothed his soft hair that was parted on one side. His fingers touched his scalp lightly, and he sighed in his heart. Although the white hair has not yet invaded, the black hair has been constantly retreating. He ignored Zou Tong and said to the audience in a serious tone: "Classmates, no matter what changes will happen in the future, there is one thing I am sure of, and this will never change. In our lives, we will encounter many challenges, many opponents, and even enemies, but in the final analysis, you have only one opponent, and that is the child in your body who loves leisure and hates work and always refuses to grow up." At this point, he waved his hand and turned to the door of the classroom. Just as he was about to step out of the door, he suddenly thought of something and looked back at the boy in the corner. "Menjie, come to my office."
