Chapter 2 102 Heart Is Sick, Now There Is a Wave
Chapter 2 1.02 My heart is sick, now I have trouble
In Puhai, the apartment where Wei Keng lives is a standard otaku suite, with a total area of 20 square meters.
This is social standard subsidized housing, which only costs 100 United Dollars per month, and is exempted or exempted based on the student's grades. Wei Keng paid three years of rent in one lump sum.
There are also 400 square meters of residential housing in this city, which is a must-have for marriage. Wei Keng has no plans to save this money yet.
In a city with crisscrossed waterways, after coming out of his apartment dormitory, Wei Keng went to the small dock at the door, swiped his card with his watch, and unlocked one of the five shared speedboats on the public charging dock.
Pulling down the power brake, he drove swiftly along the river towards the large supermarket three kilometers away.
Purchasing in person is necessary.
In fact, there are online purchasing channels in the apartment, and vacuum pipes will quickly deliver materials there, but well - such purchases will leave information records on the Internet.
The teachers at the school are already very nagging. Whenever there is an error in the exam, they will look through various records. No, I want to see you drink six bottles of happy water a week, and take out various meatballs, ham sausages, and seaweed potato chips. Tsk tsk, I’m sure I’ll be like my old mother who criticized me inhumanely. “Eat, eat, just eat. If you put half of your energy into studying, you would have gotten perfect marks on every subject.”
However, if you go to the supermarket to purchase, well, there will be no such online consumption data.
…
After the motorboat parked at the pier.
Wei Keng climbed over the railing and walked through the alley. In the 27th century, in such a bumpy corner of the city, although there is no high technology, the design style is very unique. The walls on both sides of the alley are covered with grid bricks. The grid is filled with artificial soil and covered with various types of vegetation. The long alley is like a jungle path, which makes people feel happy.
Well, at the crossroads of the alley, the crazy children stopped Wei Keng from walking.
"Hey, stop it!"
Wei Keng saw four little boys chasing a white cat that jumped out of the bushes in a square flower bed in the city, and couldn't help but stand up and yell at them to stop them.
At the same time, he threw his backpack onto a branch protruding from the flower bed on the wall and caught a naughty kid in three steps.
He showed his social reporting system on his watch, clicked on the child's avatar, and the school he was in was immediately displayed. As a citizen, as long as you submit photos and video evidence, you can ask the school to add test questions to the child.
Two minutes later, the boy with his drooped head was seen leaving. Wei Keng rambled with a hint of pride: "Next time, be clearer and don't bully the weak."
"Slightly~" The child made a face and ran away.
Wei Keng continued to speak harshly: "Don't let me see you again next time."
A few minutes later, looking at the direction the child was leaving, he let out a breath and said, "Is this considered a normal thing?" - As he spoke, he canceled the message that was about to be sent in the "Small Report" system. Photos, video content.
Being "active and destructive" is the nature of boys before they grow into men. Therefore, what is needed is guidance, not unilateral condemnation of their "evil" nature.
If he is scolded blindly and suppressed successfully, then the boy will become a submissive, bloodless "fat boy" who does not know how to resist. Of course, it is also possible that during the confrontation, one may admit that one is evil and thus become a bad person who will carry out the evil to the end. In the process, one may be further ostracized by society and go to extremes.
A minute later, even though there was no one around.
Wei Keng suddenly became excited (emphasis added): "Kicking cats and dogs at this age is definitely not evil and must not be labeled as evil. They are just boys who have not yet successfully cultivated their values!"
Speaking of this, his tone was a little sad, but for just a moment, he tried to calm down, as if nothing happened. There is a supermarket ahead, so you need to go straight to the goal.
Take the goods from the supermarket shelves to the automatic payment platform, and finally the automatic door opens, and the electronic salesperson: "Welcome to visit next time."
After completing the purchase, Wei Keng carried his bag with a bag of oden and sweet and spicy skewers, and was ready to return home with a harvest.
At this time, on the street, the screen playing advertisements suddenly interrupted an emergency message.
"The energy in Asia's No. 2344 gravity well has exceeded the peak and is being released urgently. People in the city are asked not to move in areas lacking safety facilities and to take shelter temporarily to avoid accidents. It is expected that the city will lift the high magnetic and high electricity warning in ten minutes."
The probability of the surprise in the forecast's "Be careful not to happen" scenario is very small.
The head of a gravity well spreads strong electricity toward the atmosphere, which may produce ball lightning. However, most of the ball lightning will be directed underground by facilities near the gravity well. A few slip through the net, and the probability of someone encountering it is as high as summer thunderstorms being struck by lightning. The probability of hitting is the same.
Most buildings in the city have lightning protection and nuclear magnetic pulse protection structures, but the alley where Wei Keng just came is an area without any protection. The automatic positioning system on personal electronic devices clearly indicates that entry into the danger zone is not allowed. Now --There is no retreat.
Wei Keng raised his head and looked at the sky. At this time, there was a distorted lens in the sky revealed by the tall buildings.
The entire lens is like the circles on the lenses of glasses for myopia, but in this sky even the innermost ring is hundreds of kilometers in diameter. Now this lens is spreading rapidly.
Directly below the center of the wavy circles in the sky is the gravity wellhead facility on the ground in the center of Urakai.
It is at this facility that the earth's space-time exploration department vertically accelerates high-energy particles to the center of the earth to conduct detection of outer physical areas.
Since the basic principle of shuttle is to use the earth's energy facilities to create a micro-wormhole in the center, the application of a large electromagnetic field above the gravitational wellhead will cause strange optical distortions.
When the circles of distorted lenses in the atmospheric area above the gravity well continue to shrink, it indicates that something is passing through. And if this lens spreads outward, it means that high-energy particle information in the gravity well returns.
Now it is obviously the latter, and the speed of information release has exceeded a peak. The distorted lens ring of the atmosphere above emits white light like lightning as it spreads.
Wei Keng covered his head and prepared to find a place to hide.
At this time, the communicator on Wei Keng's wrist rang, and a message was displayed on it: "Student Wei Keng, what are you doing in Area 833? Don't you think the school is not quiet enough, so you are studying in the dormitory?"
Wei Keng opened his mouth and spit out one word: "Fuck!"
However, misfortune never comes singly. The plastic bag in his hand suddenly fell to the ground, and strings of sweet and spicy were spilled out.
Yes, the white cat outside the supermarket had been staring at Wei Keng for a long time. Seeing Wei Keng in a daze, he knocked over Wei Keng's plastic bag and ran away with a trophy in his mouth.
Didn't get the snacks and was caught by the teacher? Alas, it seems that in the school year assessment, my evaluation will be mediocre for another year.
…
Forty kilometers away.
From the dark gravity well, a capsule cabin four meters long and two meters wide rose up.
In this energy cabin, the energy level of the originally electromagnetic human body continues to decrease, and finally the high energy level is released, and life activities can continue.
This is a girl, well, physically she is an Earth girl in her twenties, but her consciousness and thinking have been in an alien plane for a long time.
The bed board of the capsule cabin was lifted up and she was pushed out of the cabin flat.
The robotic arm in the base wrapped her naked body in a white examination suit.
A large number of electronic devices on this test suit detect the condition of the body through more than 6,000 contact points throughout the body to ensure that humans on Earth are physiologically normal when they return from the high-energy state of the gravity well.
The examination suit was wrapped tightly, and even the head was covered with a delicate white helmet, with only the face exposed, looking heroic.
Well, to be honest, you do need to wear a helmet, because during the process of electromagnetic high energy, the non-neural sensing parts of the body are not protected.
To put it simply, there is no hair. Well, in the high-energy process, these cuticles, which have no bioelectricity, are all burned away.
Her eyebrows were freshly painted. If you play back the scene of you just climbing out of the energy warehouse, your skin will be as white as snow-white jade.
…
This woman is a monitor, not a time traveler.
The monitors maintain a high-energy state during the entire process of traveling. After the anchoring particles on their bodies arrive at the sub-plane, they will not turn into normal human beings. Instead, they maintain a state of energy that is difficult to observe on the sub-plane through the travelers. Special phase.
As for the time traveler, after the consciousness and thinking have completed the journey, after finding the normal physical structure in the sub-plane, they land completely and become an ordinary person in the normal state of that plane, walking in that world, touching flowers, trees, soil and rocks.
Since the supervisor has no body, he can more conveniently manipulate energy and perform calculations and analyzes that are difficult to complete with a mortal body.
Every contemporary traveler carries a system, and the administrator of this system is the supervisor. They are not only the traveler's secretaries, but also responsible for monitoring the traveler's morality, intelligence, and body during the process of traveling through the planes.
Now that the supervisor has returned, there is no sign of the time traveler returning. Obviously, something important has happened on the plane.
In the hall of the East Asia Time and Space Exploration Department, the supervisor entered the communication warehouse and contacted his superiors to report the matter.
Nine minutes later.
In Urami's New Pearl Tower, a landmark building that was bombed during the Third World War and then completely rebuilt, light shines through the window where the conference room at the top is located.
The director of the Space and Time Management Department contacted the heads of various relevant departments.
Holographic projections appeared one after another, and everyone in the venue was absent.
After the returned supervisor explained the situation at the meeting, the participants couldn't help but be highly concerned about the current developments in time and space.
In today's world, despite economic globalization, the influence of the nation is still there.
The space-time department on the Asian side and the space-time department of the Atlantic Ocean compete with each other in time and space.
Now the travelers from both sides collided.
Because the two sides have conflicts over their dominance over the cultural development of certain planes.
Plane dominance is a concept that exists in various aspects and is quite broad.
As early as the 21st century, this was the case in movies. In European and American movies, all aliens in the universe spoke English. In animation here in Asia, Japanese was the official language in the first half of the century, and in the second half of the 21st century, Chinese was the official language. If the movie world is a plane, then speaking Chinese or English will represent the direction of which force dominates this plane.
At present, some of the dimensions explored by the earth are still developed before the industrial age, so in many concepts, they will be "dumped" by travelers sent by the earth's civilization.
The development of humanities in some worlds, which side of the earth favors the form of civilization, is very important!
This is just like the significance of launching a rover on Mars and the Moon in the 21st century to declare sovereignty.
…
Comrade Yuan Yue, who was the chairman of the Spacetime Exploration Committee at the time and was also a senior traveler, was full of indignation.
This person made a rare radical move at the meeting. He knocked on the table and said: "We can't give it up! (Our) right to guide the known sub-civilizations of the sub-plane is the sovereignty of space and time!"
Another supervisor, Bai Hengqian, glanced at him lightly, but also expressed his agreement, and explained the seriousness of the problem: "The time flow of the sub-plane is special. In those conflicting plane space and time areas, we or they have initiated changes in the target space and time today. After decades, we can locate the downstream thousands of years later to take shade and cool off. So if we retreat today, the consequences will appear decades later."
At the meeting, most of the travel teams gradually understood the situation.
"This is war!" The head of a travel team defined it.
"Yes," Yuan Yue confirmed again, "This is related to future development. We must not forget the spirit of fighting on Mars and the Moon in the last century. Today, we cannot be afraid of colliding with them in time and space."
The East and the West, in these centuries, from ideology to cultural system to racial differences. The various rifts in the past cannot be bridged in a hundred years.
In the conference room of the New Pearl Tower, when discussing the direction of "competition, sovereignty" and so on, there was no wavering opinion.
The head of the crossing team of a certain interstellar development plane realized that the conflict had a very wide range of impacts, so he raised some objective questions: "After a full-scale conflict in time and space, can we expand our military resources? What kind of cooperation system should different teams follow? What must be determined is that the personnel strength of the Atlantic Space Shuttle Department is no less than ours."
Bai Hengqian of the Supervisory Committee took out the information she had and gave a response plan: "Tian Ji's horse racing, using inferior horses to compete with the opponent's superior horses, using superior horses to compete with the opponent's medium horses, and using medium horses to fight against their inferior horses."
She unfolded the information column on the screen in the hall.
This three-dimensional icon system lists the existing forces in the four major planes according to the four warning levels of red, orange, yellow and blue, and marks different levels of confrontation risk.
The supervisor's intelligent voice began to explain the strategy to everyone: "You can withdraw the main traversers from the time and space areas with less confrontation, replace them with newcomers who have just joined the shuttle, and gather the main forces in the conflict area."
