5 wake up
But Han Le immediately realized the immaturity of this idea. As he learned online more than two hours ago, as early as more than ten years ago, the global population had easily crossed the 10 billion mark. Because of hibernation, the non-hibernation population of various governments is seriously insufficient. Some countries are still introducing a series of policies to encourage childbirth. Now they are unswervingly moving towards the terrifying number of 15 billion... Once these numbers are all released, the disaster Amy just mentioned may happen immediately.
But Han Le smiled and complained to himself - what do you think is related to me?
It doesn't matter, but when talking about the details of these issues with Amy, maybe Han Le hadn't talked to people like this for too long, and he still talked a lot from all over the world. Just as Qiao Yiyu once asked him about the social form of the next few hundred to thousands of years, Han Le's science fiction novel foundation was fully utilized when facing these problems. When talking about the possibility of population disasters, Han Le even gloated and said: "If there is a disaster, I must wake up and experience it specifically. My love for the end of the world is the common hobby of our generation!"
Amy also felt the same: "I have watched many disaster films, including many old films of your era and new films recently. Although the film technology has developed greatly, I think in my imagination of disaster, people in our era still lag behind you a lot."
It is always easy to find some reasons based on a phenomenon. Han Le boldly speculated: "Because your time was so good, I remember when I was a child, the elderly also tasted the experience of famine when they were young. When they grew up, an earthquake or a typhoon would attract everyone's attention. But now, many hibernation areas and even the main urban bodies are located underground, and these factors do not seem to be very related."
"Earthquakes still have an impact, but it is indeed not as sensitive as your time... As for famine..." Amy smiled, "Maybe only those who lose weight can experience it a little."
It was during dinner that the two of them came to the cafeteria together. When ordering dishes, Han Le found that the canteen of this era could no longer see the chefs and serving dishes. The whole process was automated. Han Le ordered a piece of French fries. After coming up, he was surprised to find that the taste of the French fries seemed to be no different from what he had eaten at McDonald's before, even tomato sauce... But when you think about it carefully, it is actually not surprising. Is this the real standardization?
However, the other things have changed a lot. The burger is not a piece of bread that is clipped with two slices of bread, but a whole slice of bread with filling stuffed inside, which looks like a big bun, but the taste and taste are very good.
"You seem to be curious about these foods. Is it very different from your time?"
"It's a little different, but it's not very big. I just think it's fresh, aren't you hungry?" Han Le saw that the things in front of Amy didn't move much.
The psychologist in front of him lowered his head and didn't say anything, but he quickly raised his head and asked him, "Are you alone tonight?"
"Ah." Han Le subconsciously answered, but soon realized the sensitivity of the question and looked at her with some surprise, "You mean..."
"I think you are very interesting... I can say that you like it a little, what about you?"
This is the first time Han Le has been confessed to someone when he grew up, which is even more nervous than when he confessed to Qiao Yiyu at that time. He was even at a loss and was speechless: "Uh... I...ah, I actually already have a girlfriend..." I have to say that Han Le was a little more passionate.
Amy shrugged indifferently: "Even if you have a wife, that's nothing. She should still be hibernating now, right?"
Han Le waved his hand: "Maybe this is the difference between us. In our time, lovers have some default moral restrictions..."
"I know what you are talking about," What Han Le's surprise was that Amy's face was not unnatural when she spoke, "But if she lived in a different time and space, could this be considered betrayal? She almost does not exist now."
"But she does exist." Han Le felt that he had found the key point, that is, the emotional morality of this era seemed to be completely different from what he was familiar with. "We made an appointment to wake up together..."
"But you are alone now." Amy emphasized this fact, "her consciousness is now aborted, and there is no difference between not being there."
"But I think she exists every moment." Han Le didn't argue.
"Your thinking is psychologically a disguised obsessive-compulsive disorder."
Han Le has seen the word "moral obsessive-compulsive disorder?" in his novel.
"...Is that true." Amy's face turned frustrated at this time, "So, am I rejected?"
Han Le seemed to want to say something comforting, but his poor emotional intelligence made his tongue completely knotted at this time. He was still talking before the meal, but now he couldn't hold up a word for a long time.
"Forget it, it's not your fault," Amy's emotional self-healing ability is max, and she actually laughed out loud, "If you didn't hibernate from the past, I wouldn't be interested in you, but you came from that era, and it was expected that I was rejected..."
"It's okay," Amy comforted Han Le, "For you, our era is indeed too open... But it shouldn't be difficult to understand. If I don't tell you today, maybe you'll go hibernate tomorrow, then I'll never have the chance to say it in my life, right?"
Han Le nodded. While hibernation cuts the time of life into fragments, it also turns many eternal meanings originally rooted in it into unremarkable moments. In Han Le's era, serious love is a lifelong thing in many people's imagination. Although it rarely becomes a reality, at least everyone is willing to look at it like this. But obviously, this idea is completely unapplicable in the hibernation era. What is life and what is eternity? Only with an end can there be eternity. When the end of life itself becomes blurred, eternity will completely become an illusory concept.
Han Le finally went back to the residential area alone, which was the suites he had just woken up. These rooms were semi-temporary for each hibernator to use for a short period of time during a wake-up period. When he lay on the bed, to be honest, Han Le had already started to regret it. He still felt a little incredible when he looked back. No matter what angle he looked at, the other party was an undeniable beauty. Even in many fantasies of Han Le during the "home" period, such a beauty came to him and confessed to him was a beautiful thing that he dared not think about. At that time, he was even more unlikely to think that he would refuse as decisively as before. Maybe it happened to be a depression just now?
After a little regret, Han Le calmed down and thought about what Amy said, and found something very interesting - people in hibernation have almost stopped all their physiological activities. Strictly speaking, life has "suspended", but people who are awake are still continuing. People live in such a "fragmented" era. It is not surprising that there is a little difference in culture or morality. Even in their own era, because of the increasing pace of society, people seem to have this tendency on emotional issues - I remember before graduation from college, couples who often saw farewell on the school lawn, and that was just apart, not to mention that they are "separation from life and death".
This fact made Han Le realize that in many cases, human feelings are not as compatible as he thought. Take the example just now. If he promised Amy, then he would definitely think about "living with her for a while" first. The thing that awakens Qiao Yiyu will naturally fall aside. If Amy lives well, out of inexplicable guilt, maybe she will never see Qiao Yiyu again in her life. It is actually very simple to do this. Just cancel the authorization of Qiao Yiyu. It is just such a simple action. It turns out that two people who seem to trust and understand each other will miss each other's life.
The moment he realized this, Han Le stood up almost immediately, picked up the phone and walked out the door. After walking for a while, he realized that it was already past 9 o'clock in the evening...
No, Han Le dispelled any objection in his head. The time was only for himself. For hibernators, even one or two o'clock in the morning, it was not too late. But if he let himself go tomorrow, he might meet Amy or meet someone more beautiful than her... Han Le was not sure what kind of temptations there were waiting for him in this era, but he could only be sure that he was a person who was easily dominated by the senses. He could not determine whether he would change his mind tomorrow. His life before had proved the weakness of the so-called subjective will countless times.
The only thing people can determine is the present, and the only thing they can decide is the present! On the way to the hibernation area, Han Le identified the direction to Qiao Yiyu's hibernation cabinet based on his mobile phone, and reminded himself over and over again in his heart. He stepped on the solid tiled road surface under his feet, but now Han Le felt like a balloon in the clouds, and the whole world began to become illusory. The only real thing is the photo of Qiao Yiyu on his mobile phone and the address composed of English and numbers behind it.
