Chapter 76
Chapter 76
Melos sat on the wicker chair, watching the people coming and going in the hospital, narrowing his eyes slightly.
Nearly a year ago, mankind entered the interstellar era. Overnight, the whole world underwent earth-shaking changes. The release of optical brains, the popularization of intelligence, the advent of mechs, changes in learning content, changes in social systems,
It impacts people's lives, but no one feels dissatisfied because of it, and people are very longing for the future.
Probably because I think that I will have the opportunity to see outer space and meet the legendary aliens in my lifetime, so I am very happy.
As early as many years ago, when humans started to implement the immigration plan, there were faint rumors about mechs, etc., but there was no positive answer from above, and people just talked about it as a joke after dinner.
Unexpectedly, there would be a day when such a change would occur.
However, because it was implemented globally at once, new problems have been encountered in the reform over the past year, and these problems have also been resolved.
And Melos was found passed out at home, and it has to be said that the place where he lived was expropriated.
Since waking up to now, he has only vaguely heard that with the establishment of the Federation, countries are replaced by area codes, and human immigration, many places on the earth are now empty, and population expansion will not threaten the earth.
In order to further protect the earth's environment, many places have started new policies, and the Chinatown where he was originally located has been requisitioned for unknown reasons.
The doctor did not tell him what was used there, but told him that when the executive staff contacted other people living in Chinatown and did various ideological mobilization work, they found that there was still a house missing, because the contact
He was not there, and the schedule to start construction in the Chinatown area seemed to be very urgent, so those people planned to break open the door of his house, plan to pack up his furniture and move it elsewhere, and return it to him after contacting him in the future.
He was found unconscious at home after they pried open the doors.
After that, those people sent him to the hospital and arranged the best treatment for him.
And during this period, those people have already bought him a small villa in another area, and the furniture has been moved in. They asked the doctor to tell him the address in detail as soon as he woke up.
Fees, etc. are all paid by the other party.
The doctor said that he was in a coma due to an unknown reason, no different from a vegetable state, but he did not expect that he would wake up again a year later.
Melos looked at those people, listened to all kinds of noisy voices in his ears, and sighed softly.
He never knew whether it was a dream or real.
He once read a comic about a man who had a strange dream. He might not be able to remember the dream on the first day, but he would continue to have that dream the next night, as if it had stopped. later
It seems to continue, and the time spent in the dream will be longer and longer.
Later, after he realized that he had been in a dream for ten years and couldn't distinguish reality from dreams, he found something was wrong, so he went to the doctor.
The doctor's description of him was very funny. Everyone has dreams, and the content of the dreams is not certain. You can't come to the doctor just because you have had nightmares for a few days, can you?
But the patient stayed in the hospital for observation, because the doctor suspected that he might have some mental problems.
There was nothing unusual about him during the day, but he spent more and more time in his dreams every day.
From one day, to one year, to ten years, then 20 years, 30 years... 100 years... Later, he lived 1000 years in his dream, it was an unforgettable 1000 years, the feelings in the dream went deep into the bone marrow, wait for dawn
When he woke up, he no longer knew the doctor and the people around him.
It took hours for the doctor to make him realize that those 1000 years were just a dream.
But later, his dream lasted for ten thousand years. After waking up, his whole body changed. stop slowly
The beating stopped, the brain waves disappeared, and then his whole body was reduced to ashes.
The doctor guessed that he probably dreamed of eternity.
So he stayed in the dream forever.
Melos rubbed his wrist with his right hand—in the dream, there should be a bracelet there.
With such a weird but real dream, Melos really couldn't tell whether it was his dream, or the current self was in a dream.
He always felt that he was very similar to the protagonist in that comic, they both had a deep-rooted dream, and when they woke up, they couldn't tell what night it was.
Dreaming back to the mythical world, Melos felt that he adapted quickly. After inheriting the memory of the gods, he thought of how to avoid Zeus in an instant.
But after waking up from the dream, facing this high-tech era, he was at a loss.
The doctor has helped him fill out his own information. He has his own optical brain, but he rarely uses it.
This world is forged on the basis of science and knowledge. Legends about gods have faded from people's lives. No matter how mysterious and weird things are, there are "scientific" explanations.
"Gods" became a product of the ignorant period.
People rushed out of the sky and into the stars in an advanced way. Who would believe that tens of thousands of years ago, there was a god sitting on a towering throne and receiving people's worship?
Melos got up, picked up his things, and walked slowly towards the hospital door.
He was fine and was discharged from the hospital with the doctor's approval.
When he was sent to the hospital, other people paid for the medical expenses, so he didn't have much to take away at this time.
He should be thankful that those people forcibly demolished his house but didn't really plan to throw him away, and arranged a place for him so that he was not homeless.
Back to my new home, the furnishings here are all according to the previous furnishings of my home, except for a different location, it seems that there is no difference in other things.
After taking care of himself, he went to buy ingredients to make something for himself. Although robots are basically popular now, he has no plans to buy one.
Melos turned on his optical brain after eating something, and it took him a long time to figure out how to do it - he didn't understand the mechanism of the optical brain, which was similar to that of a computer, but the influence of "dream" on him was really
Too big, now he is almost half a primitive man - he connected his mobile phone that he had shut down for a year to his optical brain, and copied the information in it. This mobile phone can no longer keep up with the times.
There are still some new messages in the phone, which are sent to him by his friends. He doesn't have many friends, and he has less contact with him after graduating from university.
He sat in front of the optical computer, did not enter the virtual network, but slowly adapted to the optical computer in the way he treated a computer.
This year, the world has really changed a lot.
He has to learn a lot of things, and his "dream" has been too long, so long that he already feels that he is out of tune with this world.
He read a lot of information on the Internet, and unconsciously, he suddenly wanted to check the myth that had appeared in his dream.
However, there is very little information about mythology nowadays.
Melos pursed his lips tightly as he watched the so-called "Pluto" appearing on the video screen.
What appeared on the screen was a man in his 40s, with a beard and curly hair, naked, looking at something expressionlessly.
Melos frowned and closed the page.
That's not his Hades.
his……
Melos turned off the optical brain, took a glass of water and poured himself a mouthful of cold water.
It was just a dream.
Melos warned himself.
No matter how real it is, it's just a dream.
He climbed into bed to sleep, but tossed and turned.
He always felt that he wanted to do something, but he couldn't do anything.
He finally understood why the protagonist of that cartoon sought help from a doctor so painfully.
It is really painful to be unable to distinguish between reality and dream.
Melos tossed and turned. After a long time, he finally got up, fumbled to turn on the optical brain, and then looked at the current global layout and common means of transportation.
After that, he inquired about the federal currency in his account.
After the federation was established, the currency was uniformly used as federal currency. It is said that in a few years, credit points will be added to the general currency, and the money of Melos has been exchanged, and a large amount of money has been added.
These are part of the compensation that residents of Chinatown will receive.
Now, a year later, the plane is still there, but it has also undergone major changes. The reform of transportation in the short term is not too big. It is said that the old transportation will be eliminated within three years at the shortest.
Melos booked a plane ticket to the original Egypt.
After doing all this, he slowly returned to his bed, this time he did not suffer from insomnia.
……
In the gloomy world, a child who looked only seven or eight years old frowned and walked slowly towards a lake.
The surrounding undergrowth was so bare that there was no doubt that they would no longer pull out their branches.
The child sat by the lake, looked at the lake, and said, "Mom, my dad is awake."
No one answered him.
The boy gritted his teeth, but the voice in his throat was clear and sweet like a boy's: "Hey, hey, mom, my dad was injured more seriously than you, but he's awake, why are you still here?" fail
Gang's eyes looked at his own reflection in the water, "My sister has already gone to see my father, why don't you take me to see my father, I haven't seen him yet."
The lake slowly became turbulent, but before the boy's eyes lit up, the lake calmed down again.
The boy's eyes widened, and he was about to get angry. In the gloomy world, an indifferent voice echoed around: "Peleus, you are too loud."
Peleus snorted: "I don't care, I'm going to find my father, I've been waiting for so long, and I heard that Zeus has woken up! Mom, don't you worry about my father?"
"Go back to your palace," the voice ordered.
Peleus stamped his feet and ran away.
Although he was short, he ran fast and disappeared into the bushes in a short time.
The originally calm lake became turbulent again. In the darkness, only the indifferent voice whispered a name softly: "Meros..."
And listen carefully, that voice, it is a male voice...
