"Son, when you see this letter, I should have slept in a coffin-sized freezer for five years, and I have probably decided to continue sleeping there..."
"I made this decision hastily, and did not ask for your consent. I just informed you of the various situations unilaterally and left you.
You are only 11 years old. I know that if I ask for your opinion, the answer will most likely be no, so I took the initiative to skip this unnecessary step - after all, you do not have complete civil capacity."
"Moreover, various AI devices can now provide nanny-level services, and you have entered junior high school and started boarding. The independence you have shown makes me not worry about you taking care of yourself."
"Although your father has achieved nothing in his middle age, , doing nothing - this is also what your mother can't stand about me. But the problem is, I know what I want, a wife and children, a warm bed, good friends and good wine. Although I am not rich, I have made our family worry-free through my own labor - well, the family's worry-free food and clothing mainly depends on your mother. But I am very happy, and I think you are also happy. I have a group of very pure friends, and I don't need to care too much about interests and exchanges, because either they are like me and have nothing to gain, or they know my character and are very confident to interact with me on an equal basis without any interest - this is even more rare for people like them. " "Everyone says that mankind is going to die. The weather is getting hotter day by day, and the Spark Project has not seen any substantial breakthroughs. , many people are very anxious. But I don't quite agree, so I chose to participate in this human cryogenic hibernation plan. I want to live as long as possible and see the future of mankind. Of course, if I can't see it, I will at least live longer than your mother. It is said that I am one of the first test subjects in the world, and I may die because of the failure of the experiment. However, whether I die from the failure of the experiment or from liver cancer, the ending is the same, isn't it? What's more, the person in charge of the experiment is your uncle Chen Youran. You must meet him if you have the chance. He is the best among my friends, the kind that I look up to. Despite this, he has never looked down on me from a high position. He is a good person. I told you that he offered to pay for my surgery several times, but I refused. He could only assure me that the experiment would be successful and that I would be able to survive for five years. When I wake up later, he is confident that the hibernation time will be longer, such as fifteen years. " "As for your mother, I don't want to say anything more. Every decision made by an adult needs to bear the consequences. She said that the end of the world is coming, and she doesn't want to live a lukewarm life anymore. She wants to go to her true love and throw herself into the fire. However, she and I were once so passionate. However, I don't want you to hate her. After all, she still loves you, and she also promised me that she will not only bear your daily expenses, but also give you more money than you need-of course, the premise is that you know how to restrain yourself, otherwise, no matter how much money you have, it will not be enough. " "Five years later, if nothing unexpected happens, you should be able to see this letter. At that time, you will be 16 years old, have full civil capacity, and be more mature than today. You may think that I am not a good father, but I want to say that when you grow up, you may understand. If you really don't understand, there is nothing I can do. But no matter what, I hope you can think independently and have the ability to realize this independence, and truly live your life in your own way, no matter what the future holds for mankind. Even if the earth will become an oven tomorrow, you must be a happy duck today. "
"Love you, Lao Men."
As soon as Menjie returned to the capsule, he ignored the reminder of the VR glasses and read the letter his father left for him five years ago in one breath.
After reading it, he realized that his cheeks were a little wet, but the corners of his mouth were strangely raised.
"It's so embarrassing, I actually cried..."
But my dad actually compared me to a roast duck! What's this operation?
Also, calling himself Lao Men, doesn't it just correspond to the nickname "Forehead" mentioned by Uncle Chen?
Menjie carefully stuffed his father's letter back into the file bag, put it in the corner of the capsule, and then put on the VR glasses again, Following the instructions, he walked out of the capsule and headed for the physical examination center. The physical examination center was located in the opposite direction of Chen Youran's office. When Menjie approached his door, the VR glasses did not prompt him to take off the glasses, so he walked straight to the door with his glasses on. Two monotonous automatic sensing doors appeared in his field of vision. The material of the doors seemed to be some kind of frosted glass, which almost blocked all vision. He could not see clearly what was behind the door, but could only vaguely feel the faint light coming from inside. When he walked up to it, the door slid open sensitively to both sides. A brand new picture into his sight.
Menjie couldn't help but take a deep breath.
This place is completely different from the physical examination centers he has seen before. It is more like a factory than a medical place.
Yes, it is a factory.
The whole hall is very spacious. He even feels that it is as big as a football field. The distance from the ceiling to the ground is at least three stories high. Within the field of vision, there is no one in the hall. There is only a winding conveyor belt running through the whole place, which reminds him of the diagram of the human intestine that he learned in biology class.
This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author's consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.
There are "beds" placed on the conveyor belt - —If that white and neat mat can be called a bed, judging from its size, it should be for people who are taking the physical examination to lie on.
There are instruments of different sizes on the conveyor belt, some of which are placed directly next to the conveyor belt, and some are wrapped around it.
Judging from the shape, Menjie can roughly tell which ones are used for ultrasound and which ones are used for blood pressure measurement.
The conveyor belt is moving at a very slow speed, and it stops from time to time, as if waiting for the end of some tests.
"Such a large place is only for me to have a physical examination? Do I have such a big face?"
Menjie had such an absurd idea.
The VR glasses seemed to detect his brain activity and prompted: "In the physical examination center, you can choose to take off your glasses or wear them. The physical examination process is very simple. If you wear glasses, you just need to walk to the conveyor belt and see a bed with a light blue light flashing, and lie down on it. If you don't wear glasses, just choose an empty bed."
"Empty bed? Looking around, aren't there empty beds here..." Menjie took off his glasses while thinking, and then he was shocked. There were dozens of people standing and lying in the physical examination center, some wearing glasses, some not, and there were still some empty seats on the running conveyor belt. He felt as if he had entered a subway car that was not too crowded. He couldn't see his expression at the moment, but judging from the faces of several people who didn't wear glasses, he was sure that he was the same as them, just like looking in the mirror. Surprised and at a loss. And the noise also came in from his ears. When I put on the VR glasses just now, it was a little too quiet because my ears were covered. "Could it be... when I put on the glasses, it automatically filtered out all the images of other people and the sounds of the outside world? Let me only feel my own existence and the target route? It then uses some kind of algorithm to plan my path in real time, so that I will not collide with others, and I don't even have the opportunity to feel their existence? "
Menjie had played with VR equipment before, but never once did he feel the difference between reality and illusion like this VR glasses.
He chose not to wear glasses, walked around a few people, found an empty space on the conveyor belt, and lay down directly.
As soon as he lay down, his wrists and ankles were gently tied with translucent tape.
At the same time, a soft female voice came from his ears: "Please relax and follow my instructions to start the physical examination. The next item: height, weight and body fat percentage measurement..."
It was a female AI again...
But I have to say, it sounds really good...
With the slow rhythm of the conveyor belt, he felt a burst of sleepiness and fell asleep unconsciously.
Soon, he was gently awakened by a female voice and started the next item, and then closed his eyes during the transmission.
After repeating it countless times, he finally heard this voice prompting: "Congratulations, all physical examination items have been completed. Now, please continue to follow our instructions and go to the laboratory. ”
The straps on his hands and feet were also untied at the same time.
He struggled a little, sat up, jumped from the side to the ground, and looked back. Sure enough, he was already on the other side, and he could see the door from afar.
He put on the VR glasses again.
The familiar scenes and sounds just now all disappeared again, and there was only a clear arrow in his sight, pointing to the direction he was going.
While walking along the arrow, he took off the VR glasses and observed the surrounding situation with his naked eyes to verify his previous judgment.
In the huge complex of IHC, there were indeed many people.
However, unlike the physical examination center just now, everyone was wearing VR glasses, and he was the only exception.
Somehow, he tried to find the bright red color he saw not long ago in the crowd, but to no avail.
"Please wear VR glasses, otherwise it will deviate and may trigger the alarm system. "
Menjie put it on again and found that the direction he was walking in was 30 degrees away from the direction of the arrow.
Not long after walking, he came to a heavy door. Even though the door was closed, he could not help but feel a chill.
"The 'coffin-sized freezer' that Dad said is in there..."
Thinking of this, he seemed to say to himself: "Can I record a voice message for myself? Please help me transfer it to the capsule, so that,
when I wake up, I can hear my message from many years ago. "
The VR glasses did not respond.
"Come on, don't play dumb, you can do it!"
"Okay, go ahead, but I would like to remind you not to speak too loudly, so as not to disturb the people around you. "
Menjie snorted in his heart: this hypocritical AI.
He thought for a moment and slowly said the letter to himself.
Then he was silent for a few seconds.
He was full of peace at this moment. This was a moment he had been preparing for a long time.
However, there were still some ripples in his calm mind.
"What will it be like when I see my father again in a few years? Do I really have to take the college entrance examination? Or will I take the exam paper for next year? Who is that mysterious girl in the red skirt......"
