Chapter 25 9. Energy saving mode

"Oh, they're dummies made by the city's artificial intelligence nursing experts," she confessed, patting his head lovingly.In front of Xiaomu's eyes appeared the vivid appearance of his parents sitting quietly like a Buddha, stroking the ostrich, or shouting loudly while driving the car.He thought, the city is real, but the people are fake.He flew over to see them from such a far away place.One hundred and eight cities in the desert, these places called heaven, turned out to be ghost towns.But because of a dream, he traveled thousands of miles here to meet his relatives and watch them paint.He also thought that he had heard people say that there is only one fate between relatives, no matter how long we have been together in this life, we must cherish the time together, and in the next life, whether we love it or not, we will never see each other again.But it seems that there is no need to wait until the next life.

"They were all alive at first, but then the nursing specialists froze them." Xiaomi said lightly.She led him through the blank-looking array of cats.The cats stared at them coldly from all directions with bulging purple eyeballs.She introduced: "In the eyes of nursing experts, life is just a surge of some biological electricity. It doesn't think they are dead, it thinks they just have a different way of existence. The machine can be activated temporarily, releasing nano-technology-made sims, and re-layout the prosperity of the city." "Acting?" "No, just switch to energy-saving mode."

Xiaomi says the aging city experiment has actually failed.Due to the large number of old people and their insatiable greed, these hundreds of desert cities once became the most powerful energy-consuming households in the country. If this continues, they will even use up the resources of the entire planet.Even artificial intelligence nursing experts can't stand it anymore.In order for the young people in the eastern coastal cities to survive, they must switch to energy-saving mode.According to the principle of benefit priority, nursing experts made a decision to freeze. "In the universe, the struggle for life is the struggle for energy," she said. "One billion people have been frozen, doesn't the country know?" he asked. "Isn't this already a country?" "What about the country we usually call?" "Do you think it still exists?" "What do you mean?" "It doesn't mean anything." "Why are you telling me this?"" Oh, we've already slept together..." Hearing this, Xiaomu clenched his fists subconsciously.He felt that this woman was strange and dangerous.

Xiaomi said: "Actually, deep down in your heart, your parents have long since ceased to exist. So what does it matter?" "No, I dreamed about them..." "Yes, yes, but this It's your special feature. But in your generation, human beings don't dream anymore." Xiaomu then doubted himself.His application was passed so easily.And nursing professionals should know all the facts.It should stop him from coming.Yeah, why is he the only one going to heaven? "Am I alive?" He hesitated and asked Xiaomi in a low voice. "Is this important?" Her tone seemed to blame him for being so naive even in a ghost-studded paradise. "Isn't it important?..." "Oh, what is alive and what is death? Heaven has a concept of heaven. It's just a different way of combining information. From another perspective, you can think that your parents are still alive. They are living in a new way." As she spoke, she picked up a cat and shook it vigorously.There was the sound of hardened flesh colliding violently with the metal shell inside.

"This is not what I want to see..." Xiaomu said. "Actually, it's what you don't want to see. You are refusing to change. You and your parents have been competing. You are dissatisfied with their demands. Oh, after the old people immigrated to the desert city, they made a lot of unreasonable demands, which led to The consumption of energy is increasing exponentially." "What is an unreasonable request?" "Haven't you seen all kinds of strange ideas? For example, they proposed that everyone should be a king once and dispose of other people's lives at will. They also want to do space travel, go to the center of the Milky Way, and build a Garden of Eden like the Kingdom of God...Because they are old people, so nursing experts can't refuse them, they can only try to satisfy everyone's wishes. But later, they think it's too scary Existing in the old form, human beings are not only redundant, but also dangerous..." "Sometimes I think so too." Xiaomu felt that his voice was coming from the abdomen of a corpse, and he paid attention to it again. In Xiaomi's mouth, nursing experts have changed from "it" to "they".
