"We will ask professionals to design and construct, not DIY by hand," Qiao Yiyu explained.
"As long as it can be technically guaranteed, there should be no big problem... By the way, why do you want to do a hibernation point by yourself? The large hibernation area must be much more perfect, whether it is hardware facilities or supporting services. After all, the future is constantly changing. You will never know what you need when you wake up, or what the world has prepared for you?"
"Maybe there will be surprises," Qiao Yiyu smiled, "Maybe it was a fright. Compared to such uncertainty, I would rather wake up in an environment that I am familiar with... As for what this world has prepared for me at that time, I can turn on the computer and slowly adapt."
The lawyer shook his head gently and did not continue on this topic. In his opinion, although Qiao Yiyu is young, her ideas are unexpectedly conservative and stubborn. Considering that the other party is a hibernator, this makes sense.
The specific provisions of the contract are expected to take a week for the lawyer. Qiao Yiyu doubled the price, and the time was shortened to five days. When Han Le got up and was about to leave, the lawyer mentioned again: "Ms. Qiao, don't know what I mentioned about the agent..."
Qiao Yiyu shook her head: "No, I don't want me to wake up every time because of bad things."
After leaving the elevator, Han Le and Qiao Yiyu planned to walk the stairs once. The height of more than ten floors is not short, but it is not long. When he walked down the stairs all the way, Han Le asked curiously: "Is the agent he mentioned that there is someone outside and can wake us up at any time?"
"Yes," said Qiao Yiyu, "Now many rich people are starting to hire their own agents, but..."
Qiao Yiyu sneered: "Because for rich people, the cost of hibernation is almost negligible, so once there is any disturbance, they will be woken up. In fact, I think that kind of people are the most pitiful. They originally wanted to live a good life in the future, but they piled up all the bad things that they might not experience in their lifetimes... Stocks hit the limit, policy changes, or there is an excellent investment opportunity... As long as there is a little big thing, they will be awakened and racked their brains to deal with it... If you follow that frequency, the period of your first hibernation may be woken up dozens of times."
Han Le probably understood: "That's really a life-threatening person." Perhaps after a few times like this, people will almost become nervous - every time they wake up, it's a bad thing, how frustrating this life is, it's simply an Ultraman--it's rare to come to Earth for three minutes, and all they see are monsters.
"The fundamental reason is that many people are too scared," said Qiao Yiyu. "In the early 21st century, the gap between the rich and the poor was not as huge as it is now. At that time, everyone had money or not, and they all watched the same movies, went on the same Internet, and listened to the same music... But the difference is too far away now, and the most important thing is that the channel from poverty to wealth is narrow and almost no longer exists. Look at the Internet now, there are fewer and fewer myths of entrepreneurship in recent years."
Han Le really didn't care about this topic, and was a little surprised, of course he was a little suspicious: "No, I saw it online that almost everyone has their own website... The cost of entrepreneurship in this era should be very low." Han Le still remembers the Taobao online store of his time. As long as people with a little money can do some small business, and there are still many people who have made it out.
"Opening a store online... in this era is no longer considered entrepreneurship, almost everyone does this," said Qiao Yiyu. "Most online stores in this era sell arts and art, singing songs and filming movies and so on... Some people make money, but the biggest difference from the past is that people in the past have money and have nowhere to spend it, and they will want to do some business and make more money. Nowadays, people who have money want to hibernate when they have money. As a result, hibernation areas have become the most popular economic industry in the world."
Still hibernating... Han Le had nothing to say this time, and this has become an unavoidable death festival.
Han Le and the others stayed in a local hotel. In order to show respect for customers, there are special vehicles to pick up and drop off in and out of this hotel, and manual driving is uniformly adopted. This service is undoubtedly classical and luxurious in this era. Perhaps because he had not exercised for a long time, Han Le was a little breathing when he walked out of the building. When the driver saw them, he took the initiative to drive the car over and came out to symbolically open the door for the two of them - although this was not necessary, because the car doors in this era were all automatically sensed.
Han Le had just gotten into the car and suddenly found that the car body had shaken for a while and then became significantly shorter. At this time, Qiao Yiyu said outside: "Han Le, come out."
After coming out, Han Le found that the driver was taking pictures of the car tires with his mobile phone with anger. When he came, the tires were still fine. Now the four were all shrunk. Obviously, the shaking just now was the tires being deflated. On the edge of each tire, several slender small transparent metal tubes were inserted, which looked like steel needles, but there was hollow in the middle.
"It's these bastards again!" Han Le didn't notice when he came. The driver was actually a Chinese man. He spoke a long-lost national curse! After the scolding, he took out his cell phone and called the police. At the same time, he still didn't forget to take photos of the physical evidence.
"Who is it?" Qiao Yiyu asked.
"A group of little kids who have lived and no one taught me," the driver obviously couldn't suppress his anger, but he still apologized to the two of them. "This is the fifth time this month. The tire hotel alone has changed more than 20 times, and it's almost like using solid tires!"
In just a minute, the police arrived and unexpectedly brought four or five perpetrators over. They looked like they were just teenagers of fifteen or sixteen years old, and two of them were holding a very short, simple launcher similar to guns. The police took this thing over and skillfully opened the "magnet clip" and there were a lot of ammunition for preparations for firing, all of which were small metal tubes exactly the same as those on the tires.
These people looked like habitual offenders. When they were brought over by the police, they looked indifferent. Two slightly larger ones were scanning Qiao Yiyu up and down with their eyes, and whistling frivolously.
One of the three policemen who brought them over was a policewoman, who seemed to be the commander, ordered them to say, "Apologize to this lady and gentleman, sincerely."
A few naughty kids were gone.
The policewoman took out a string of things from his hands and swayed them in front of them - Han Le remembered that he woke up in the hospital
After that operation, I saw a electric ring specially used to restrain prisoners.
"If you still have no regrets, I have the right to wear these bracelets for you now. Believe me, wearing this thing is much more painful than jail!"
The threat from the female policewoman was effective. Several children barely restrained their expressions and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, we're just playing games..." It's still a long way to be sincere.
Qiao Yiyu originally wanted to forget it, but the driver couldn't hold it in: "Can you make up some other reasons? Play games and play games, you keep aiming at my car and these four tires? Do you want to see your masterpieces before again..." The driver waved his cell phone and put photos one by one to the largest for everyone to see.
The female police officer also knew that the situations that the driver said were true, and she could not guarantee whether these children would have the next time. The electric ring was a threat, but she was under pressure if she really had to put it in the hands of several minors. She could only raise her face and turn on the law enforcement and surveillance camera in front of several people, solemnly demanded them: "I want you to make a guarantee that no similar situation will happen again."
A few children promised it, but Qiao Yiyu looked at their expressions and it was hard to say the effect.
"Why do you want to shoot the tires of this car?" Qiao Yiyu asked them. When she asked, she noticed the significant changes in the faces of several people, and guessed, "Is it because of us?"
Several children lowered their heads and said nothing, occasionally looking at each other, as if they were encouraging each other.
Several police officers and drivers didn't say anything, but even Han Le could tell that they must have known the reason, but they were unwilling to tell them.
"Is it because we are hibernators?" As soon as the words "hibernators" were expressed, Qiao Yiyu saw several children raising their heads at the same time - she guessed it right.
Things were left unresolved. The police quickly found an ordinary self-driving taxi for them and escorted them back with a police car - it was not far away anyway. When the car started, Han Le turned around and saw the dejected children just now smiling smugly, holding the launchers - simple electromagnetic guns, posing for shooting at the broken luxury car.
"It's just a prank." Han Le wanted to convince himself like this, but he found it difficult to do it. Judging from the performance of the drivers and the police just now, such behavior must be frequent. If these children show such obvious repulsion to hibernation now, what if they grow up?
This is just like the education I received when I was a child. Even after half a century, when it comes to Japanese people, they will still subconsciously think of something in their hearts. The key is that the things that affect themselves have slowly sunk into the dust of history, but what affects them will be like a mountain, piled up higher and higher.
When we arrived at the hotel and the police left, the driver carefully reminded them: "In the future, we will stay in a more ordinary place, which will not attract attention and will be less trouble."
After the driver also left, Han Le and Qiao Yiyu looked at each other. Han Le suddenly sighed: "When it comes to hibernation, I am really a little scared. I feel that something will happen sooner or later if this continues."
