With the birth of Chen Xi, Chen Yu and Feng Yan's parents, grandmothers and others all left their hometowns and came to Shanghai to see this little guy.
For both of them, this is another generation in the family.
The birth of Chen Xi, a little life, was a great surprise and comfort to these elderly people.
For people like them who are no longer young anymore and are getting older, money, honor, etc., have gradually become indifferent.
The things that matter most have gradually become the continuation of the bloodline.
Even as the times continue to develop, various ideological trends are rampant, such as non-marriage, DINK, same-sex love... and so on. Various deviant trends have had a huge impact on traditional concepts of marriage, love and childbirth.
but……
Most of the older generation still have very traditional ideas.
Especially when you get older, your deep obsession with the continuation of your own bloodline is sometimes so stubborn that many young people cannot understand it.
In the minds of many young people, the continuation of blood is meaningless. The most important thing is to live a good life and live a wonderful life. If you can realize your own value, that would be the best.
There is no throne to inherit in the family, so why must we have children?
Maybe this is a generation gap?
The huge ideological gap between young people and the elderly has caused increasing conflicts between parents and children in many families over the years.
Some parents with fiery personalities either seek death themselves or drive their children out of the house and are not allowed to come back.
And what about some young people?
Living in a city, I don't want to go home all year round, because I'm afraid that when I go back, I will be forced to get married or have a baby.
This phenomenon has existed in society for a long time.
Even now, even in 2035, there are still huge differences between the older generation and the young in their views on marriage, love and childbirth.
Some young people are waiting, waiting for their parents and elders to pass away, so that no one will urge them to get married and have children. They think that then they will be relaxed and liberated, and they will no longer have to worry about marriage, love and childbirth.
This is actually a very sad social phenomenon.
In the original time and space, Chen Yu once longed for family life after marriage.
But he never got what he asked for.
But in this new time and space, the birth of Chen Xi, his and Feng Yan's child, made his life seem to be complete.
In the lobby of the villa.
He looked at his parents, grandma, father-in-law, mother-in-law and others, talking and laughing around the little guy in the crib, and he felt both happy and a little emotional in his heart.
He felt that if this was a movie or TV series, when such a happy scene appeared in front of him, the movie or TV series would have ended.
But real life never has an ending.
Even if he, Chen Yu, dies, the world will continue to move and other people's stories will continue to be played out.
…
the same day.
United States, Texas, interstellar base.
"Interstellar Base" is a city built by Musk's Space Exploration Technology Company over many years.
When this city was founded, it was defined as a space port.
Musk, who founded this city, hopes that spacecrafts that will fly to the moon and Mars will fly into the universe from this city in the future.
This city is mysterious to people around the world.
Not many people know what secrets this city contains? Or how many cutting-edge aerospace technologies are hidden there.
Because this city is usually not open to the public.
Only every time a spaceship takes off from here and flies into space, will some media people witness and report here.
At this moment, on the sixth floor of a building in the center of the city called "Interstellar Base", in a hall, there were three researchers in white coats interrogating a humanoid creature.
There is a transparent glass wall between them.
And that humanoid creature separated by the glass wall...if any ordinary person from the outside world saw it at this time, they would definitely be shocked.
alien?
The image of this humanoid creature is very similar to the aliens in many science fiction movies.
The body is as thin as a child's, and the proportions of the head and body are very uncoordinated, making it look like a big-headed doll.
Moreover, there is not a single hair on the head.
The chin is pointed, the nose is small, and the two large Kazilan eyes are not moist, but appear gray.
The ears are also a bit pointed.
Separated by a glass wall, there were three researchers in white coats, all white, two men and one woman. The only woman among them, with her head lowered, was recording the interrogation on her laptop.
The blond white man on the left stared at the alien on the other side of the glass wall with his blue eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "What is the password for the automatic door in Area 17? I advise you to tell it quickly to avoid suffering more.
!”
The alien on the other side of the glass wall is wearing gray clothes. In fact, its skin color is also gray, like a rock.
Its hands and waist are thin, and they are locked on the metal chair by metal hoops, and the three silver-white metal hoops are also connected to wires.
As it remained silent for a little longer, brilliant arcs of electricity suddenly flashed across the three silver-white metal hoops. Its body continued to tremble with the flashes of arcs, and the cherry's small mouth opened, emitting a sharp, harsh sound.
cry.
Fortunately, the arc on the three metal hoops appeared suddenly and did not last long.
After about 5 seconds, the arc disappears.
It looks like flowers and plants that have been exposed to the sun all day long, with its body hunched and its head drooped, showing a wilted look, and its forehead is covered with fine beads of sweat.
His thin chest was heaving violently, and he was breathing heavily. He looked very sluggish, and looked like he might die at any time.
The brown-haired white man outside the glass wall coughed lightly, showed a gentle smile, and said softly: "Ian, why are you doing this? You know you can't escape, and you also know you can't handle us.
Torture, haven't we cooperated very well over the years? I thought we were already friends. As a friend, I really don't want to see you resist fearlessly again. After all, the taste of electric shock is very unpleasant, isn't it?
What's more, we just want to learn some technology from your spaceship, that's all. We really don't have any bad intentions! We just want to help our race learn more technology and benefit our race. As an alien planet,
As a friend, just think of it as helping humanity on earth to progress a little bit, wouldn’t it? If you cooperate a little bit, we humans will remember your friendship in the future.”
Alien inside the glass wall - Ian.
I don’t know if this name is his original name? Or it was the name given to him by these white people.
With the persuasion of the white man outside the glass wall, Ian's condition improved a lot, and his chest finally stopped rising and falling violently, and his breathing was no longer violent.
It slowly raised its head, its gray eyes looking outside the glass wall at the white man who kept persuading him.
After the white man finished speaking, its high-pitched voice sounded, "You are greedy and untrustworthy. What did you tell me before? You told me at that time that as long as I tell you the gate code of Area 16, you will
I was allowed to live a stable life for two years, but what about now? Only a few months have passed? You are here to ask me for the password to Area 17, can I still trust you?"
Brown-haired white man: "..."
The blond white man suddenly slapped the metal table in front of him angrily, "Bang..."
The alien Ian inside the glass wall looked at him with gray eyes, his expression unchanged.
The blond white man said angrily: "You don't have to believe us! I'm just asking you if you are afraid of electric shock? If you are not afraid, we will continue! I don't believe in electric shock and I won't accept you!"
Ian's gray eyes looked at him dimly.
His expression remained unchanged.
It wasn't until it saw the blond man raising his hand to hit a red button on the table that represented an electric shock that his expression changed slightly.
There seemed to be ripples in the gray eyes, and it suddenly said: "You are too impatient! The languages of our two civilizations are different, and the password of Area 17 is a dynamic password. It changes all the time. It uses
The dynamic code text of our civilization. Even if I tell you the password now, with your IQ, you still can’t understand our dynamic code text. I estimate that even if you develop for another hundred years, you will not be able to understand the code of Area 17, let alone enter.
It’s District 17.”
The two white men outside the glass wall looked at each other and frowned.
Similar words were heard by the alien more than ten years ago.
But that time, the alien said that the password for area 16 was ultrasonic code text.
Given the level of civilization on earth, it would take at least ten years of research before it would be possible to understand that kind of code text.
At that time, they didn't believe it.
They all thought that this alien was deliberately talking nonsense to them and lying to them.
So that time they shocked the alien again and again, until its skin and flesh were torn apart, and when they finally stopped, they seemed to be able to smell the aroma of barbecue even through the glass wall.
But after more than ten years of research, they discovered that the alien was not lying.
Ultrasound can literally be written into text.
But, as we all know, ultrasonic waves... are inaudible to human ears.
Therefore, even if researchers decipher the so-called ultrasound code text, they cannot hear it.
To put it simply: it is a kind of text that cannot be seen or touched.
At this moment, the alien actually proposed a "dynamic code text".
As the name suggests, they can barely understand this kind of writing, which may change at any time.
but……
This is incredible. Can the ever-changing words still be regarded as words? When a word changes shape, doesn’t it become another word?
"I don't believe it! You must be lying!!"
The blond man cursed angrily and raised his hand to slap the red button on the table without hesitation.
Almost at the same time, light blue arcs of electricity jumped out of the metal hoops on the wrists and waist of the alien inside the glass wall, Ian again.
The arcs of electricity were dancing, and the alien Ian on the metal seat seemed to be dancing too. His whole body was shaking, and his gray eyes began to roll up uncontrollably.
An electric shock lasts about five seconds.
Five seconds later, Ian was sluggish again, his head drooped, all the muscles in his body were trembling, his thin chest was rising and falling again, and in Cherry's small mouth, he was breathing heavily and drooling with sympathy.
A few minutes later.
It finally recovered some, the result?
The blond man outside the glass wall tapped the red button on the table again.
Then, within the glass wall, light blue arcs flashed again on the three silver-white metal hoops.
The alien friend, Ian, started to sift through the chaff again, his whole body shaking non-stop.
The teeth in his mouth made a chattering sound.
again and again……
The skin on its body was dry and cracked due to the electric shock. Light blue blood seeped out from the cracked skin, and two streams of light blue blood also flowed out of the nostrils that were not cracked.
It looked extremely miserable.
When the blond man outside the glass wall raised his hand again and was about to hit the red button on the table, the brown-haired man sitting next to him raised his hand to stop him.
"John! Enough! Enough! Stop! Stop! Let me persuade Ian again, let me persuade him again! Ian is our friend, you can't do this to him!"
The blond man looked ferocious, breathing heavily, and said angrily: "We treat it as a friend, does it treat us as a friend? It did it on purpose! Even if the password of Area 17 is really a dynamic password, if it really teaches
Us, I don’t believe we can’t learn it in a hundred years, it just doesn’t want to really teach us! What kind of friend can such an alien be?”
The brown-haired man shook his head repeatedly and tried his best to defend: "John! I know you are angry, but you can't keep shocking Ian like this. Even if he is not our friend, if you keep shocking him like this, even if he really wants to teach us that
Dynamic password, it doesn’t even have a chance to speak! So, please stop! Can you please stop? Let it speak! Give it some time to speak, can’t you? Just treat it like I’m begging you!”
The blond man glared angrily at the alien Ian inside the glass wall. He still looked angry and cursed angrily: "I don't think it wants to talk at all!"
It was obvious that these two white men were playing a double act.
One is a good person and the other is a bad person.
If such poor acting skills were seen by Chinese people, they would probably be able to see through their little tricks at a glance.
Maybe Ian, the alien inside the glass wall, also saw through it at this time.
But it was unable to speak at this time.
If it had been electrocuted once or twice before, it was just a little sluggish and looked a little wilted, but after just being electrocuted for more than a dozen times, it really looked like it was only breathing its last breath.
At this time, not only was light blue blood flowing out of its nostrils, but the eye sockets of the two Kazilan's big eyes were also cracked, and light blue blood was also flowing down.
It looks like an alien ghost.
At this moment, almost every inch of its skin exposed outside its clothes was cracked and torn. Even the simple gray clothes on its body were so electrified that it began to smoke.
This time, it rested for nearly half an hour before finally regaining some energy. It slumped on the metal seat, its hands and feet motionless. Only its gray eyes turned to look at the blond man outside the glass wall.
Seeing that it had regained some energy, the brown-haired man quickly said: "Ian, please stop resisting and say it! Otherwise you will die. You will really be electrocuted to death. Please, don't
If you continue to resist, please agree to cooperate with us!"
