.....

As he read, Liao Guoxing's voice gradually lowered. On the contrary, the fire in his chest became more and more intense.

From these comments, what he saw was definitely not just a flattery of this technology, because besides the comments he read, there are actually many other comments questioning the practicality of this technology, the cost of this technology, and even the application prospects of this technology itself.

However, even the most critical comments maintain a basic point of view, that is:

After this technology appears, it will definitely be used by ordinary people.

This is completely different from the public opinion environment of the South Island. In the South Island, if there is a technological breakthrough in a certain direction, then the first thing that comes to mind is "the officials and men need to enjoy again."

This is a fundamental difference.

Liao Guoxing scratched his head, trying hard to figure out when this difference occurred and why he had never noticed it before.

The network environment is clearly public.

I once thought that the news media on the other side and the public opinion on the other side were all shackled, but now it seems that the one who is really shackled... seems to be myself?

Liao Guoxing sighed lightly, turned to look at his father on the bed, and then asked:

"Dad, can you continue reading?"

Liao Huazhi shook his head and replied:

"No, read something else."

"What do you want to hear? I'll read it to you!"

A hint of joy appeared on Liao Guoxing's face. This was the first time since he was discharged from the hospital, his father took the initiative to ask for listening to the news.

He has been regaining his language skills for more than a month, but for more than a month, he has been blocking himself in a world where others cannot be relieved, as if he only hopes to die silently.

Now, being willing to accept information from the outside world means that his hope for life has come back.

Liao Huazhi was silent for a few seconds, then spoke:

"Read... read the news about the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge."

"And their 003 aircraft carrier."

"I also have to tell the railway, and the big plane they took off last time."

"Let me read Yuan Longping's story about our hybrid rice."

"And... I heard from TV two days ago that which fishing boats in Qiandui Fishery have already gone to that island, please read it for me."

"I want to know what's going on with our island now..."

Liao Guoxing nodded heavily, and his wife, who was watching him, made tangerine peel tea for him to moisten his throat, and then carefully helped him adjust the position of the hospital bed so that the elderly on the bed could burn the sunlight from the window.

Then, the youngest member of the family, her daughter Nana, also pushed her grandmother into the room. The family of five sat around the window.

The man in the middle was holding a small mobile phone in his hand, and he struggled to identify the simplified Chinese characters on it. Every time he found the result he wanted, he would read it intermittently to others.

"The Qilian-3 engine is a super-large thrust commercial engine independently developed by my country. Its maximum thrust reaches 165 tons and its normal thrust is 140 tons. On the future C989 commercial large aircraft, only two Qilian-3 engines can drive thousands of tons of cargo..."

"The aircraft carrier 003 has left our country's Djibouti supply base in Africa today. Their next stop will be to Ireland, where they will have friendly exchanges with European countries..."

"The high-yield rice in 'Longping-Qiong No. 1' has once again ushered in a bumper harvest. Local farmers bluntly said: There is too much food, and I hope the country will ensure that the grain prices will not fall."

"Hundreds of Chinese fishing boats went to the relevant waters of the Diaoyu Islands to conduct fishing operations. The Island Coast Guard Bureau stated that it will not interfere, and fishing with confidence."

...

After reading the news one by one, everyone's faces were first surprised, then turned into doubt, but in the end, only admiration was left.

At the end of reading, my wife stood up and opened the curtains. The brighter sunlight shone into the small room. For a moment, everyone's eyes stinged.

But, this sting is only temporary after all.

After adapting to the light from the sun, they suddenly felt a strange warmth.

Maybe, this room has been dark for too long?

Maybe my family has been isolated from the world for too long?

At this moment, even if you can't walk out of the room immediately, you should indeed let the sunlight shine in, kill the viruses, molds, and even those ghosts and monsters in this dark and humid room...

So, on this afternoon of a sunny weekend, Liao Guoxing and his family gathered quietly, sat in the sun, enjoying the long-lost heat of ultraviolet rays scorching on their skin.

At this moment, people who did the same thing as their family were spread throughout the South Island.
