Chapter 18 end as beginning

The last time Ige saw Luo Ying was the day before the delegation left.Three days had passed since the performance.Luo Ying still lives in the hospital, and Rui Ni takes care of her daily life.The delegation is about to finish the whole trip, the booths are dismantled in an orderly manner, and the personnel are packed up and ready to go.Yige took a short time in the morning and rushed to Luo Ying's ward alone. On this day, as a farewell to the people on earth, most places on Mars are full of warmth.Small balloons in the shape of two planets were hung on the street, and pastel-toned ribbons were hung in the exhibition center.The empty exhibition hall was set up as a banquet hall. For the announcement meeting and reception on the last night, Mars took out a grand ceremonial display.Screens on the street broadcast friendly smiles from the leaders of both sides.No one knows what kind of crisis was lurking behind this warmth.Luo Ying's ward is far away from the hustle and bustle, and she doesn't feel the subtle busyness. It's just like every ordinary day, as peaceful and sunny as ever.The edge of the lily is lit in gold, the soothing music is diffused in the air, time freezes, and the air is gentle.

Yige sat down beside Luo Ying's bed, and neither of them expressed much.Ige solemnly expressed his thanks to Luo Ying, Luo Ying said no, she did nothing, he supported her body twice when she fell down, this is already a grateful help.Ige apologized for his previous recklessness, Luo Ying smiled and said, it's okay.Ige said he had something for her, Luo Ying raised his eyes and asked curiously what it was, Ige took out a chip from his bag and inserted it into the 3D glasses he was carrying. Luo Ying sat on the bed, put on her glasses, and walked into a familiar space.Familiar, yet foreign.That is the other side of time.She saw the theater, the people who visited, and herself.She walks into a wonderful journey of encountering herself in the images.For many years, she had never seen her dance like this.The music is familiar music, the dance steps are familiar dance steps, and even the surrounding breath has a familiar damp smell.Her figure is in the center of the dance floor, fully invested, and becomes the focus of sight.Her real self became a bystander, and slowly, step by step, she approached the other dancing self.So close, almost touching the skin.She wanted to reach out, but finally held back.She knows no one can see her.She enters into a real drama in which the audience is the protagonist.Although everyone around her is looking at her dancing, she knows that she is the real core of the stage.She looks at the other her.She has not seen herself, but she has.She felt as if she was dancing just for her to see.She is like a transparent soul, standing on the edge of the dance floor with others, stopping to watch until the end of the song.She felt at ease.The show is finally complete once again.

Luo Ying took off her glasses.Iggy sat on the edge of her bed, looking at her calmly and calmly.She sat there blankly for a while, slowly adapting to the too bright sunlight in the room. "Does it feel okay?" "Thank you. Thank you very much." He smiled: "You're welcome. Just like it." "I've never seen myself like this before." "Me neither," he said. Both of them sat quietly and did not speak for a long time. What Yige had in mind was Tyne's hint.That was his guess about Princess Mars on Maeus.According to Tyne's original intention, Ige should create some romances related to Luo Ying anyway, no matter whether it is vague or ambiguous.It is conceivable that the final parting of life and death that isolates the entire night sky, coupled with her identity, her beautiful face full of sadness, and her light body wrapped in a translucent long skirt, will become a classic picture full of temptation, enough to be seen on the Internet. Best seller.He didn't put it into practice.He did create some ambiguous scenes and let her say that he likes him, but everything was quite different from this.He thought of all this and found it very ironic.He didn't want to tell her these things, but just gave her the real pictures for her own collection.

What revolved in Luo Ying's mind was thinking about memory.Her fragility in the past few days found a little bit of strength again at this moment.She began to reevaluate the meaning of memory.People used to tell her that with her own images, there is a time in the past, which can be often used to review, miss, and live in it.She used to feel the same way, thinking that memory is to open up the past.But today, when she saw her three-dimensional real self in the video, she suddenly discovered that the meaning of memory is to close the past.Her memory becomes a kind of physical abode, so she can safely become another.She doesn't have to be afraid of change anymore, she doesn't have to worry about losing the past and denying yesterday.Her old self has survived.So she can go on the road with peace of mind.

Yige and Luo Ying exchanged glances quietly, each with their own concerns, and didn't know how to speak, so they didn't speak. Iger finally smiled and said, "Don't worry, all your shots are here, and I won't take any of them away." Luo Ying didn't understand why he reassured her, but when she saw his sincere face, she nodded and smiled. The two exchanged some more hasty views on the exhibition, with an apparently friendly and superficial attitude, without saying much.Luo Ying's face was fair, with long and black eyelashes, while Yige's face was thin, and his curly hair covered his forehead, making his sunken eye sockets even darker.

Luo Ying thought for a while and asked, "Are you leaving tomorrow morning?" "Yes." He nodded, "Early morning flight. I have to be present at this afternoon's press conference and evening banquet, so I may not have a chance to come back before I leave." "Well. Safe travels." "Can we still contact you when we go back?" "I don't know," Luo Ying said, "Grandpa said that the communication between the planets is being discussed, but I don't know if there is any result." "I think I may have misunderstood many things before, and I don't know if I still have the opportunity to ask you."

"I hope so. There are too many things I don't understand." Then they said goodbye to each other calmly, neither mentioning the fact that they might never see each other again.The morning sun was warm, and they both felt that it was not comfortable to break this warmth.They talked kindly and said goodbye amicably.Yige got up to say goodbye, turned around and nodded at the door of the ward.Luo Ying looked at Ige's back and made decisive steps, as if watching a small sailboat sailing into the depths of the vast sea. ※※※ In the early morning of the next day, Luo Ying watched the delegation leave from the rooftop.Lu Di sat with her in the early morning sun.

On the endless red soil, the sun casts distinct shadows.The land was neatly sliced ​​half dun and half golden.The straight line slides inch by inch over the rough sand and gravel, like opening a silk curtain for a sculpture.The cliffs in the distance are jagged, and the edges are sharp and glaring. The tranquility of the early morning makes people forget words.Luo Ying and her brother sat in a rare leisure, silent for a long time. It took Luo Ying a long time to remember the real big event: "What is the final decision? I don't know yet?" Lu Di smiled briskly: "It's good for us."

"How to say?" "First of all, two water conservancy experts stayed and taught us the necessary closing techniques. Secondly...our price is not much." "They didn't want a fusion engine?" "No. They gave up." "why?" Lu Di showed a sly smile and said: "Because our fusion technology requires advanced nuclear fission waste treatment technology and seawater treatment technology. Europe has the strongest nuclear power on earth, but seawater treatment is in the hands of the Americans. They don't want to The technology is disclosed to each other, and they are afraid of losing future benefits. China and Russia can master it if they cooperate, but for some reason, they seem to be afraid of each other, so they attack each other. Representatives of other small countries are even more reluctant to let big countries get fusion technology, which will become their survival in the future threat, so in the end the whole regiment gave up."

"Then what do they want?" "They want two things, the theater wall and the tunnel car. They have been coveting the tunnel car for a long time, and they have talked about it in the first two times. The main reason is that the earth is full of skyscrapers. If the tunnel car can be used to achieve inter-building transportation, it will be better than cars and airplanes." Much more convenient. As for the theater wall, it was mainly me and a guy named Tyne who were in private contact." "Tyne?" Luo Ying was stunned, "Visiting that day..." Lu Di raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Yes, I arranged it. Although I want to fight, but Grandpa doesn't want to fight, so I can only help to find a way. I didn't expect to succeed in the first try. Tyne seems to be quite Influential, beyond my expectations. I thought he was just an entertainment figure, but it seems that I underestimated him. Yesterday I heard that the earth’s economic crisis is largely related to him. I’m too lazy to care about it, but I can use such a small technology to replace nuclear fusion and get a big deal, so why not do it?”

When Luo Ying heard this, her heart moved. "What about Uncle Juan?" "For the time being, there will definitely not be a motion to send troops." Lu Di smiled, "But you know, things like diplomatic relations..." He didn't finish speaking, and stopped talking with a smile.Ludy switched to plain cotton shirts today, not wearing a uniform for the first time in days.He sat on a sandstone pier and spoke with interest and understatement.He had his hands on his knees, and one foot seemed to be tapping lightly to the music.Luo Ying quietly stared at his vivid eyebrows.By this time the sun was high and bright, and his blond hair was beginning to glisten.Luo Ying looked at him, feeling a sense of alienation in the familiarity.My brother is no longer the brother I was when I was a child, and she is no longer who she was when I was a child.She didn't know if this was the biggest loss of wandering to the earth.Politics is the best destination for her brother, but she doesn't know where her destination will be. ※※※ Meanwhile, Iger buckled up in the cockpit of the shuttle.He stared out of the window, the flat and rough land reflected the golden light, and the round pits and gravel stretched to the distant horizon.On one side of the wing, the long and narrow white boarding building acts like a bridge, establishing the final link between the plane and the city.The bridge has a metal skeleton with a beautiful curvature. The long metal tubes are built together with neat gaps, revealing the glass inside and shining under the sunlight.The airport is an orderly and mechanical playground, with boarding buildings extending in all directions, and aircraft of various shapes sleeping in precise positions. The plane started slowly.Contact disappeared.The plane soared upwards, gently cutting off the connection with the mother body. Iger looked into the airport farewell hall and saw Janet in the corner of the glass.She didn't come with the official send-off team, but was alone, standing silently in the corner of the terminal.Yig couldn't see her face, but he could guess it.Janet was wearing a white loose dress, perhaps the same dress she had worn to send off her teachers when she was young.Ig imagined the teacher's mood.Ten years ago, at that moment, he might have been like himself now, sitting by the porthole of the plane, looking at the white figure behind the glass of the terminal building, waving goodbye, and thinking about his next visit.At that time, he should have hesitated in his ambitions like himself, and he might be like the teacher, thinking that he could come back, but he would never return.Yige began to understand the teacher's later feelings for Mars, the more desperate he knew that he was farewell there, the more he thought in his heart, hoping to go back. Janet helps him bury the teacher's memory.Iger has not entered the database since then.He didn't know if the teacher was doing well now, whether he was as peaceful and joyful as old man Ronning, completing the eternal watch in the tower of eternal wisdom.He may still be as radiant as ever, and he may still be able to chat with Janet often.Ig couldn't see that anymore, but he hoped so. Sitting beside Ige, Tyne looked at the document on the screen in his hand, processed it quickly, and looked up occasionally.Iger knows that he is the biggest winner this time, and the theater wall technology negotiated will greatly decorate his "dream tour" and become an experiential movie viewing mode, bringing huge profits to 20 cities around the world.He considered Jill's clothes, but settled on the theater wall. "Why didn't you trade with Luo Ying, but with her brother?" Ige asked him, and he knew it wasn't because of himself. Tyne smiled slightly and said: "Because I can see what that kid wants. He is responsible for the technology of the wall. If the negotiation with the earth is completed, there will be a stable team and project funding for the next few years." .This kid is very ambitious and wants to climb up quickly. It is an excellent opportunity to be this kind of person in charge. We each get what we need, and we are all happy. But as for Luo Ying... I can only say that I don't understand. " In Tyne's context, people who do not seek to maximize their self-interest are incomprehensible.He is proficient in various economic utility functions, but there is no function that does not seek to maximize profits.He has insight into various situations, but he is frank, he can't understand Luo Ying and Arthur.He doesn't care about it, there are many people who can't understand, he doesn't seek to understand everyone, he only wants to understand what he can understand.He did everything he could for Arthur, the best doctor, the best house, the best friend to visit him, but he didn't try to understand.Ige knew that he could not blame Tyne, he just always did what he thought was right, made precise decisions according to his own formula, calculated every possibility, and optimized the result.He doesn't think there are other meanings in this world, so he doesn't understand the search for meaning. Tyne had a saying that Iggy felt he had to admit.When the result of the negotiation was announced, Tyne smiled and said that haggling is the root of the state of mind.Iger admits that he is right. The members of the delegation are divided for their own interests. Only Tyne gives them a common advantage. They all rely on Tyne to spread their image and build the trust of voters.This time, the sharp drop in wisdom stocks is a strong blow to researchers and knowledge buyers in every country, and only Tyne is not affected too much.He is just a maintainer of the market, collecting money from buyers and sellers, but not participating in buying and selling.He had foreseen this kind of sharp drop long ago, and he could also foresee that the governments of various countries would become more dependent on themselves after the sharp drop.The trip to Mars is his best opportunity to expand the direction of his business.From the very beginning, he was determined to align with Mars, no matter how much the rightist Professor Chuck advocated the unity of all countries on the earth. In addition to Tyne, there is another person who is very happy this time, and that is Beverly.He will be the image ambassador of Thales' new generation theme park. The theme park is based on Mars and environmental protection. Beverly will also use the experience of Mars to spread his elegance all over the world.Beverly didn't know what was going on.He and Tyne got what they needed, and the danger of war passed quietly. Yige didn't want to bother with this.He knows that calculating ethics has calculating philosophy, and the whole world is built on such a philosophy, and he doesn't worry too much about it now.What he wants to focus on has changed. He wants to gather the mirrors of the world and reintegrate the broken light.The teacher's memory has been put to sleep, and his last wish is waiting for him to continue.There was still a certain spirit in the world waiting for him to approach, and for him to collect.He looked out the window at the city that was getting smaller and smaller, and said goodbye quietly in his heart.This is the planet he saw when he was fifteen, and it is also the planet he remembers when he was twenty-five.He thought he would never forget it. The golden land is long and peaceful, with a flat river, and the Mars in the field of vision has a bagpipe flavor. ※※※ "Brother, look!" Lu Di was talking, when Luo Ying suddenly interrupted him softly. Ludy stood up and turned to the window.The sky was still deep and dark blue, a huge silver-white plane hovered into the sky, flying at an extremely fast speed, the light reflected by the wings swept across the top of the head, like a meteor, falling into the sky from the earth, slashing out Perfect arc, facing the invisible ancient spacecraft in space. Luo Ying's mind suddenly went blank.She knew that all connection between herself and the earth was finally severed at this moment.Since then, the earth has officially become a word that can only appear in memory.One part of her life is over and another is just beginning.She didn't know what the future would hold, where to find her mission in life.The sky is full of stars, and the vast land is silent.
