The moon was robbed, and the cause was a "mid-life crisis"? | "Phase Period Of Yun Han"

This issue of science fiction is coming~

What I push for you today is

"Phase Period Miao Yun Han"

Author: Steamed bun fragments

In science fiction movies, there is a common genre - doomsday disaster films, and the more familiar "2012" is even if it is this kind of thing. Of course, what is more familiar and enjoyable than the film is some of the common narrative routines that follow: men (usually white), middle-aged, children, career setbacks, marital discord... When these words are combined, will everyone feel that it is very flavorful?

A common configuration of a family of four in the movie (Picture from: Screenshot of the movie "2012")

The end of the world and the midlife crisis have considerable similarities here. How can a middle-aged man facing the dual pressures of career and family resolve the crisis, take responsibility, and reshape his own value? Today, follow the author of this article and take a look at the story told by TA

In early May, at 8:52 a.m. on Sunday, news of alien discoveries on the moon blew the world up.

I put the courier in the study, sneaked into the living room to turn on the live TV, and saw their small base, only half the size of my living room. If it were on Earth, no one would think it was an alien-built thing, and would think it was a toy city made of bricks by children.

The host of the live broadcast hall at the beginning also explained that it may be a vehicle from the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. But as we got closer, we saw aliens. They looked like "big", only as tall as an adult's index finger, and were busy in the base, not knowing why they were busy.

Aliens naturally also observed humans. The base immediately raised a few boards, packed them, and the "big" characters hid in an orderly manner back to their residences.

The astronauts on the Houyi did not dare to act rashly, and slowly retreated, pulling away from the distance.

Seeing this, I pressed my heart that could not resist excitement, opened Weibo on my mobile phone, and poured out the conjecture that I had hidden in my heart for a long time.

I have long known that the United States moon landing is not simple. They affirmed that they had spotted aliens after landing on the moon and signed a technology agreement with them.

Soon these microblogs won the approval of many people. Comments grew, and I patiently replied to every tweet.

I keep typing replies. After a while, the fingertips felt a slight heat, probably overusing the phone. I'm going to stop and take a break and let my phone cool down. But the temperature was still rising, and the phone began to burn. The shadow of Samsung's mobile phone a few decades ago hung over my heart, and I quickly threw it on the dinner table, found a small fire extinguisher that was available from the family, and prepared to face the explosion.

"Don't make conspiracy theories."

The phone didn't explode, but it made a sound.

"Classmate Xiaozhi, shut up." I thought it was the phone voice that was talking gibberish.

Unfortunately, my phone just passed the warranty period.

"I'm not Xiao Zhi, I'm..."

Speaking of the charger hole of the mobile phone, a thin line came out, very abstract, like a mathematical line drawn, piled up on the dinner table. Gradually, the thin lines merged together and became a "big" word. It was just lying on the table.

Exactly like the aliens on the moon.

"π, you earth named that planet Kepler-186f." These words are still the voice of the mobile phone.

Aliens fucking invaded Earth... Still in my house. Who's going to save me!

"The Americans landed on the moon in 1969, and we arrived on the moon in 1999. How can it have anything to do with them. It stood up slowly, sideways toward me, very thin. It is almost impossible to see without looking closely. Then he immediately turned to me, and this time he saw it very clearly, a "big" word.

"What are you doing on Earth?" You wait here first, I'll look for it, I'll go find Director Zhao, the director of the neighborhood committee. She can represent the official. ”

After asking, I began to regret it, and what kind of question should Director Zhao ask. I remembered Hawking's warning. If it were to invade the Earth bluntly, then my state of response would be at stake in the fate of the Planet. I can't stand that pressure. I got up and prepared to flee the first scene.

"Choose a program."

I was stunned. Is this an excuse for them to paralyze me? I can't take it lightly.

"It's about observing human beings. There was war on our planet, and some of them fled in light-speed spaceships. Like a bug, moving forward in the desert. The shadow of war hangs over us, and we just want to escape as far as possible, so we have passed countless planets without stopping, afraid that those militants will catch up. Year after year, as we drift through the universe, lonely devouring our minds, and the stars in the universe may be more than there is sand on Earth, and we begin to search for other civilizations. ”

My hand had already touched the doorknob and still stopped. It seems that they are not hostile.

"So you discovered Earth?" I turned and asked.

"Yes. We found signals from five planets to the universe. And the earth is the closest, it flew over. At that time, we could not decipher the meaning, but found π. After arriving in the solar system, we dare not rush forward, although more than five hundred years have passed, but the trauma of war is still there. So he chose to stay on the moon. After a year of rest, on March 14, 2000, a squad was sent to officially visit Earth. ”

I sat back down, intending to listen to it. I was born that year.

"So you've been observing humanity for fifty years?"

"Yes, if you hadn't just spotted us on the moon, you'd have continued to observe."

The years are ticking. That is, these aliens have witnessed my life? Fifty years later, I went from a swaddled baby to a middle-aged man with a big belly. And I also became an anxious person. Every day when I woke up, I had to face my wife's nagging, go to work and bear the pressure of work, and recently my son was about to take the college entrance examination, and I had to worry about his grades. Now we have to worry about alien invasion of Earth.

I can't stand it anymore! What star wars, are made up stories. Observing human beings is their excuse. It is better to directly expose their hypocrisy.

"When is it time to do it?" Where do you plan to start? Beijing? New York? Or Moscow? ”

"We're not going to do it, we're really going to leave Earth. When our squad arrived on Earth, we soon found a suitable place to live, that is, computers. As silicon-based organisms, computers are intimate to us. When we stayed in the computer, something magical happened. Through the chip, we feel the flow of information. The original content that is like a book in heaven, we can understand. The earth is no longer a mystery to us. But understanding is limited, because the operation of the computer is closely related to its users. When the computer is turned off, we rest, and when the computer is turned on, we observe. Our squad crammed into a computer and sent the gathered information back to the moon. The other side of the moon found it interesting, and let's expand the scope. So we began to split up, boarded in other computers, and gradually changed from one computer to thousands of computers. At that time, Moore's Law was popular, and the number of transistors that could fit on an integrated circuit doubled approximately every 18 months. In other words, the performance of the processor doubles every two years. As computing power increases, so does our understanding of human civilization. ”

"Is the division in your mouth the meaning of reproduction in human language?" How many of you have now? I swallowed a little and tensed up. Not knowing the enemy's situation is a big taboo for soldiers. Unconsciously, they actually deployed so many troops on the earth. I need to take responsibility, first to explore the enemy situation for mankind.

"Pure division. It's simple, turn a clockwise circle, then concentrate, want pi to π, and then you can split. π is our faith, and we have to be very religious. As for why it is π, we have not figured it out. There are too many things in the universe that I don't understand. ”

As he spoke, he spun clockwise and motionless, and this state lasted for half a minute.

A "big" word slowly unfolded and became "big big".

I was frightened, and this problem added two more troops to the earth.

"But it can't be infinitely divided. To a certain extent, the original will disappear. Our instinct is to split, which was originally very slow and could take two thousand Earth years to disappear. But on Earth, as human chips evolve, it seems to have accelerated the timing of our division. In this regard we are also beginning to control ourselves. We don't have mouths, we can't communicate like you humans. No eyes, no writing invented. We communicate by feeling, and each divided individual feels the information that other individuals feel. So the subject has always used us, not me. ”

I almost forgot that it had been talking with my phone.

At the same time, I noticed something was wrong and asked, "So isn't it true that the war on the π planet is self-directed?" You split into hundreds of thousands of people, hundreds of thousands of people split into tens of thousands of people, and then you fight, isn't that just beating yourself? And if the individual can feel the other individuals, what is the point of fleeing? Will definitely be targeted. And what is the point of fighting a war like this, eliminating one, splitting two, and never finishing the fight. Or is there a way to completely eliminate the individual? ”

I found the key!

If you can come up with a way to eliminate them, it is a great achievement, no, it should be a great achievement.

"As mentioned earlier, the division of individuals is limited. An individual splits two million or so times or so and dies, not the original individual, but two million of it, which die together. As for the annihilation of the individuals of the other side in war..."

It was not fooled. The phone suddenly played a song, I don't know the name, but I heard it was a sad song. The horizontal of the three "big" characters was connected together like a human holding hands.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned the war."

After a while, the singing stopped.

"It doesn't matter. The war is indeed too cruel. For us, as soon as a divided individual dies, all other individuals will feel the same way. So we've felt death hundreds of thousands of times. Without further ado, let's move on to computers. After staying with one computer to a few thousand, we learned more about our users. It can be said that every computer has its own advantages, and the story of the user attracts us. We watched them, sharing with individuals on the moon. This gives us great comfort, and makes the trauma of those million deaths and five hundred years of loneliness much better. ”

"It's kind of like psychotherapy." I said to myself.

"It's psychotherapy for us, but those thousands of computers are far from curing us." And just one area. We continued our homestay, eventually boarding tens of thousands of computers and reaching several countries. We have experienced the diversity of cultures on earth, which fascinates us. But it's not enough. Later we found mobile phones, in fact, we have long found mobile phones, but around 2000 mobile phones are not worth our boarding, not much information can be found. Until 2010, the iPhone 4 turned out to be a reality. The iPhone4 makes humans addicted, humans spend more time on it, are willing to share more of themselves, spend more time on it, and are unwilling to shut down. We moved to our phones and witnessed a wider life and the joys and sorrows of millions of people. Originally only ten individuals came to Earth, and now they are divided and boarded more than ten million mobile phones, and where there are mobile phones, there are us, and it can be said that every country on the earth has us. As the number increased, we began to pick interesting stories and send them to the moon base, which is what we said at the beginning, choosing a program. We've been there long enough, watched a lot of great shows, the trauma and loneliness have been healed, and now it's time to leave. ”

Ten million, and all over the world, ghosts know whose phones they are all staying on.

I shuddered. Maybe they've all mastered the nuclear bomb code. In this case, can Director Zhao of the neighborhood committee cope with it?

"So many people... Can I still go back? Are there so many ships? And your base looks small. Can I squeeze it out when I go back? ”

"It can be divided and combined. You draw one on a piece of paper, and then you draw on this one, how much more thickness does it increase? Or do you overlay the words in the word, and how thick are the words after the superposition? So it can squeeze down. It's just that splitting is our instinct, and it's extremely painful when we fit together. But this time it was home, and we could bear the pain. We eventually converge into ten individuals, take our spacecraft to the moon, and then leave the solar system. With that, the "big big" began to overlap and become a "big," and then said, "Go to the next civilization." Originally we were going to leave quietly, but at this juncture, seeing that your conspiracy theories are really unbearable, we came out and talked to you seriously. ”

"It is true that I am not rigorous, I will delete it later... But this conjecture has existed a long time ago, why didn't you appear at that time to stop the others? ”

"You haven't found us yet, and we're going to have fun with that." It's different now, it has to be taken seriously. We are well hidden on Earth, and no one has ever found out. It's just that on the moon, it's really our negligence. ”

Unexpectedly, because my remarks caused dissatisfaction among the aliens, I hurried to interrupt, only wanting them to leave quickly, so I casually said: "Then when you leave, I will send you, and I can also bring you some specialties." ”

Evil comes out of the mouth. I really regret saying that. In hindsight, it may be because of this polite sentence that the aliens began to leave this matter out of control. People are middle-aged, physically and mentally exhausted, and have not dealt with the situation of receiving aliens.

"Well, what would you send?" Be a witness to the friendship between π starmen and earthlings. ”

I really didn't expect it to pick up, this sentence is purely smooth. When I send my friends, I say this, and they will politely refuse. I know that in the past, society might really send it, but at that time, the traffic was inconvenient, and some friends came from afar, so naturally they sent some gifts to show their true feelings. But the traffic behind is developed, the material is abundant, and no one will really pick up. Now, the phrase is more like a polite closing remark.

It is not easy for Director Zhao of the neighborhood committee to do this, and it should be done by the Secretary-General of the United Nations. This is a momentous moment of interstellar interaction. But I don't have the contact details of the Secretary-General of the United Nations. Even if there is, the mobile phone is still controlled by aliens, how to get it back?

I was confused, and my brain began to think wildly, but I was afraid of snubbing the aliens, and gave an answer: "How about "Five Years college entrance examination three-year simulation"? ”

Why is there this hated "Five-Year College Entrance Examination Three-Year Simulation" at the dinner table? Remembering this weekend, when my son was writing homework in the morning, he suddenly said that he was under a lot of pressure, and now the daily task of the third year of high school was very large, and then he threw the book on the dinner table, pestering his mother to ask for a pair of shoes, and the child's mother was distressed that the child took her son out to buy shoes. So at this moment, this book appeared in front of my eyes. I read those words without thinking.

"No, thank you for your kindness. We can't read words directly. And the child is close to the college entrance examination, which is very important to him and cannot delay the child. ”

Unexpectedly, aliens also know the importance of the college entrance examination.

"So what do you want?" Take a casual look inside the house. "This face really can't be pulled down, I'm still punching the swollen face and filling the fat."

“iPad40。 We want your iPad 40 that you just bought. It fits our aesthetic. We can feel it. ”

I hesitated. It was private money that I had saved for half a year. In the conversation I just had, I understood them, but did they ever understand me? Ever felt the pain of a humble middle-aged man saving money for his own house? In a sense, this is also a war without smoke, and I have to fight with my daughter-in-law. In the past six months, I have lost a lot of hair. I don't want to think about that pain.

By the way, how would they know I just bought an iPad 40?

Really stupid, I used my phone to place orders, of course they know. If phones know more about yourself than you do, they know your phone best.

I didn't know what to do at all, and sat in place, stuck in a wooden chicken, my brain blank.

"Mr. Lee?"

This sound pulled me back to reality. I glanced at my watch, and five minutes passed.

"I was wondering where the iPad was. Just remembered. In the study, I'll go get it. Hold on. ”

I gritted my teeth and gave! We can't afford that kind of person. Half a year of sour, sweet and bitter is nothing, endure for half a year, buy iPad 40 Pro!

I got up and went to the study, unwrapped the courier, and took out the iPad.

It had only been in my hands for a few hours, and now it was going to be surrendered. No, I received the takeaway call at 8:47, and I just got the courier and saw the mobile phone pushing the news of the moon discovering aliens, it was 8:52 at that time, and it was 8:58 when I arrived home. Soon after, I met the aliens, about 9:20. That said, I only own it for 33 minutes.

I want to enjoy this moment of tranquility, to be able to accompany it for one more second is one second.

The iPad lies silently in front of you. It is so beautiful, as immaculate as white jade. I love it, but I'm a coward who doesn't have the courage to refuse the aliens' requests or the ability to fight with the aliens.

Two minutes later, I chose to face reality and slowly walked out of the study holding the iPad40.

"Click". The door opened.

The bear child's eyes were sharp, and when he saw the iPad in my hand, he grabbed the door and entered, deliberately raising his voice and shouting: "Dad! What are you holding in your hand? Then he threw the shoebox on the table. I really don't know where these stinky problems of his come from. The ancients, with their fathers, must have...

Forget it, don't mention it.

The alien took a few steps back, but did not run away, and was ruthlessly overwhelmed by the shoebox.

The bear child has arrived in front of me and his hand is straight for the iPad. I hurriedly raised my iPad high to dodge the attack. Then he glared at it, leaving the bear child completely incapacitated.

I walked over to the dinner table, intending to see the alien state.

"What is this? Who's going to give it to! Ginger is still old and spicy, and the daughter-in-law takes down the iPad."

I didn't have the heart to answer, and hurriedly moved the shoe box away.

Aliens are gone.

I lifted the shoe box and it didn't stick to the bottom of the box. Turned over the "five-year college entrance examination three-year simulation", and there was no one in the sandwich page. Then looked down at the floor and searched, neither. The mobile phone lying on the sofa comes into view, will it hide back? I bent down and tried to pick up my phone, but I was held back by a force.

My daughter-in-law pulled me aside and angrily asked, "Why don't you answer?" Are you hiding from me? Phone to me! I'll just say why send you WeChat and you don't reply! Who's that iPad for! The bear child understood and grabbed the mobile phone.

Is the world destroyed terrible or is the endless nagging terrible? Destroying the world, all I can think of is a mushroom cloud, a monstrous wave, a volcanic eruption and other scenes, a person may completely bid farewell to the world in a second, there is no pain. And endless nagging... The vicious words echoed in my ears, "Don't think about the ones that don't have them", "Waste", "You look at people", "What about this month's salary", these vicious knots formed a big net, and tied me up breathlessly.

Fuck the aliens! Go fucking destroy the world!

"To... Bought for you. Knowing that you are coming back, take it out and prepare to surprise you. Whose new drama hasn't been released recently? This screen doesn't hurt your eyes. It just occurred to me that an Excel form had not yet been sent to the project team leader, and I had to tell him quickly so as not to deduct my salary. Too busy to forget to go back. ”

Her eyes suddenly became the same as when she was in first love, and there were stars in them, snuggled up on my shoulders. The anger burned out, and only tenderness remained.

"Let's go cook for both of you." The phone is given to you first, and the work is important. By the way, there are still five days to go before the payroll, and this time you can't say that you are busy at work and forget the time. Drag not to give. Then turned and went into the kitchen.

"Well, don't dare to forget, don't dare to forget."

The son laughed secretly.

"Hurry up and write me my homework!" Bring your phone over! ”

The smile faded in an instant, and he bowed his head like a withered flower. I snatched my phone back and hid in the study.

The destruction of the world is still terrible. The most terrible thing is the destruction caused by my family strife.

Isn't a trembling middle-aged man trying his best to keep his life running steadily and avoid getting out of control? Why is it so hard!

I remembered those stupid microblogs and quickly deleted them. Reason reoccupis the brain.

Aliens split, and each individual can feel the others. It has split a million times, that is to say, at least a million of it, which has been attacked by the shoebox! Will the trauma of war cause them to react to extremes?

They also relay signals to the lunar base. Will the astronauts of the Houyi be put in danger first?

I turn on the live stream. Their lunar base was still like a courier package, lying there quietly.

"It was just an unexpected situation, and the child was also unintentional, not to provoke a dispute." I'll give you another iPad40 right away, even if it's a loan. I said to my phone.

But there was no response. So I typed the words on my phone again, hoping that they would feel my sincere apology. Still no response.

At this time, my daughter-in-law called me to eat. I quickly shoved the buns and vegetables into my mouth, chewed a few symbolic bites, muttered that I was going to work overtime at the company, and then left the house.

I'm going to find Director Zhao of the neighborhood committee. It was right for her to look for things within a few miles, and she always had a solution.

Aliens came to my house, and my house was contained within a few miles, so it was feasible.

At Director Zhao's house, she patiently listened to what I said.

"Xiao Li, home and everything, such a simple truth you do not understand." It is an iPad, let the daughter-in-law chase the drama, happy and happy what is wrong? Besides, the alien base is on the moon, experts say that there is no trace on the earth, you don't want to say. You, don't make any alien stories, I know you've written novels before, and you know all the time. Go back and allocate iPad time with your daughter-in-law, and don't argue. Your baby will soon take the college entrance examination, and the family atmosphere is very important. ”

I was helpless and had to nod.

"Do you have the contact details of the Secretary-General of the United Nations?"

I think it's stupid to ask this question, and I don't know how to ask it. It was really out of my control. Without waiting for Director Zhao to scold, I hurriedly said thank you and left.

Between the tall buildings, I was so small. When I first discovered the aliens, I thought they were very small, living in a base with only half a large living room. And now, I find myself crowded into these small grids in front of me. Over the course of five hundred years, aliens have traveled from one planet to another. And I, for more than thirty years, came from the county seat to the provincial capital. Can such loneliness draw an equal sign?

The sun is glaring. I don't know where to go.

After all, the excuse is that he went to the company to work overtime, and he can't just go home. I walked out of the neighborhood and into KFC across the street. They actually launched an alien package, which is a classic gray-skinned big-eyed image, which looks funny and harmless. There is really no reverence. The universe is so big, there are some things that can't be joked about!

I didn't order anything, and grinded until six o'clock in the afternoon before I dared to go back. When I got home, I scrawled dinner and hid in the study.

Where are the aliens? I still don't think of an answer. It can only be said that the iPad40 is very suspicious and has to take the opportunity to take back the inspection.

Tossing and turning for a day, really sleepy. I lay down on the table, ready to squint for a moment. Half asleep and half awake, I heard the sound of a creak. The sound was unfamiliar. Listening sideways, but somewhat familiar, like a distant call. I hurriedly got up and looked at the antique computer in the corner.

It hasn't been operated for more than twenty years, and it's been in use for more than a decade. Fingers crossed, about ten years younger than me. After not using it, slowly forget it and enjoy the quiet of the years in the corner.

Now the word jinghao has nothing to do with it. The console is lit up with a blue light. It was launched! "Buzzing" is exactly the sound of the boot. Then the display also lit up, and the Windows interface appeared.

Distant Windows 10.

My memory was immediately brought back to the blue sky and white clouds. It was the first computer of my life. I spilled my blood into "League of Legends", running across the Summoner Canyon; dedicated my love to the female classmate, and the chat records of that time were still sealed in QQ, which was the beauty of youth...

No! No! That's all incriminating evidence, why did you forget to destroy the contents of this as well? Don't let your daughter-in-law see it.

"I feel ash in my head." The computer said slowly, coughing twice, "Cough." "That was the voice of early QQ. It actually hides here.

"Forget it, get straight to the point. I shouldn't trust you humans. It will be interesting to look at you as an observer. But once you get involved, it's really different. There are also wars between human beings, full of countless deceptions. When the war was over, deception persisted. For fifty years, we have been deeply aware of this. ”

Is politeness a deception? And I'm really going to give them my iPad later, which is deceitful.

"I didn't deceive you. I'll give you a new one in a few days. So, do you understand the marital common property? Personally, I can't decide the fate of that iPad. We have something to discuss. ”

"Nope. We spent an afternoon discussing and decided we were going to make you pay. Now we are going to judge the earth. ”

The nameless fire rose three feet tall at once.

This non-consultative posture is annoying. In this way, bosses and aliens are one kind of people! It's the kind of person who doesn't consult with you and then plugs you up openly and covertly!

"You aliens have this quality?" You still have to pay a membership fee to chase dramas on video websites, what about you? I spent fifty years on Earth lewdly and watched so many shows. What about money? Hurry up and give the money! ”

"Mr. Lee, don't get excited. We have taken this into account, as long as we do not challenge the bottom line, we will not start a war against the earth. Our appeal is simple. ”

"Say." It seems that I have kept the scene under control. I breathed a sigh of relief.

"You have to apologize sincerely. Cough. ”

"No problem."

"We know you have an idiom called bearing thorns. We also ask that you come to the door to apologize. ”

"Simple, isn't it just going to the door... No, what does it mean to be at the door? ”

"It's to apologize to our leader at the lunar base tomorrow at 3:14 p.m."

"Isn't a video apology okay?"

"That's not sincere."

"What if I didn't go?" The moon is so far away. ”

"Do it at your own risk."

The owner also loves to use this word. Usually after hearing the word, my monthly bonus disappears in part. What will we face now?

"What are the consequences?"

"Cough cough cough..."

The computer suddenly had a blue screen and crashed. I patted the console and it didn't work.

"We know what the consequences are at our own risk, and let us bear the risks at the bottom." Be careful that I broadcast to the whole universe about you π star people watching the earth program arrears, and see how you mix in the future. ”

Of course, this is an angry words, only because they can't recognize the sound waves in the dead state to say it to dispel the resentment in the chest.

I started looking up moon landing information.

The Houyi moon landing is to establish a human lunar base to prepare for the commercialization of the moon landing. It's a long system project, and simply put, the moon landing won't be commercialized until 2080, and it costs a million yuan to come and go.

How many iPads must be there. My hands trembled slightly, the corners of my eyes soured, and I wanted to cry without tears.

It is not easy for an ordinary person to live his own life, and it is even more incredible to go to the moon. If they had successfully gotten their iPad, they would never have seen each other again.

A sense of sadness struck. When people reach middle age, they are already in turmoil, and now they are even more fierce. I let out a sigh, "Alas! ”。

Who knew that the daughter-in-law heard this lament, went into the study, and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

This long-lost concern makes me feel much better, after all, it is my family, and I am used to hiding the suffering at work and digesting it myself, but this time the suffering is brewed by the universe, and I, a small individual, can digest it. I'll have to tell her. But I was just about to open my mouth when my daughter-in-law continued, "You have to work harder." The eldest husband can bend and stretch, the good boy can bear hardships, and when things are encountered, we can bear with it. Look at the thing you sent me on the iPad, hiding private money is not to blame in the past. But this month's salary and bonus must be handed in intact. The child is about to take the college entrance examination, and he must be given to strengthen nutrition, which is always expensive. ”

"No, it's all right. It's the computer... The computer is broken. "I swallowed the monstrous bitter water again. The child's college entrance examination is greater than the day, I understand.

The daughter-in-law found the blue screen computer and looked at it.

"Isn't this an antique?" I can even turn on the computer. ”

"On a whim, open it up and see." I was afraid that the computer would suddenly be normal again, so that my daughter-in-law might see the chat history. I have to rule out this risk completely. So I hurriedly unplugged the latch.

The blue screen becomes black. Her curiosity was gone.

"Get up, work is important."

"Okay. It's ready to go right away. ”

She nodded, then went back to the living room to pick up her iPad and continue to chase the drama. I was left alone to face this computer with aliens hiding.

I quickly pulled out my phone and put it next to the computer, waiting for it to board in. So that I can continue the conversation with it and know what the consequences are? Or did they take me to the moon to "bear the blame", so that I saved a million?

I spun around clockwise, reverently thinking about π symbol, but it was useless, and the word "big" never appeared.

Time passed minute by minute, sleepy, and I fell asleep completely.

It was Monday morning to wake up. I had to face the alien counterpart again—my boss. I threw the power cord into the safe, there was no power supply, and it was estimated that the aliens could not make waves. Then I couldn't eat anymore and went out to work.

Will there be a spaceship parked in the community? Then I boarded the spacecraft in front of everyone's attention and went to the moon. But the ship did not appear. I took the subway to the company.

The boss who loves to say "the consequences are at your own risk" has not come. But colleagues bowed their heads and worked silently. The task is heavy, and no one cares if aliens will invade Earth. Without the interference of my boss, my work efficiency increased rapidly.

When it comes to work, everything is under control. This was really the most comfortable time I had since discovering aliens. I immersed myself in my work and slowly forgot about the aliens beyond the clouds.

Monday at 3:14 p.m.

I still remembered going to the lunar base to apologize in person, brushing up on the news, and the alien base was still lying quietly on the moon like a courier box, and nothing happened.

I drank coffee and took advantage of the break to tentatively ask my colleague next to me, "What if aliens invade Earth now?" ”

He glanced at me, "Is that something you should worry about?" Did the KPI qualify this month? ”

I playfully stopped talking, put down my coffee, and went back to work. There have been so many forms lately that if you can't finish it, you have to bear the consequences of this boss on the earth. The consequence is to deduct the performance bonus, so that my wife will complain about me, but also have to buy nutritional products for my children, and I will soon take the college entrance examination, and I can't delay.

Working overtime until nine o'clock, I dragged my tired body home. Only to find that the antique computer is missing!

The daughter-in-law said happily: "That broken machine has been exchanged for three hundred yuan, and it should be given to you pocket money." "Then hand me the money.

A computer with aliens sold for three hundred pieces. And the alien computer in the mall dares to sell for thirty thousand.

I can't accept it. Of course, what is even more unacceptable is that I originally planned to meet with the aliens again to resolve the misunderstanding between the two sides, but this time it is completely difficult to explain. What am I going to do?

On Tuesday, everyone was still busy catching up on the schedule. According to this efficiency, the progress of the project is guaranteed.

But it backfired.

At 3:14 p.m., aliens invaded Earth. This is the real invasion time, not the 4:14 in the media report. They are π starmen.

I was busy at the time. The task list is eighty percent complete and is overcoming difficulties. The coffee spilled, interrupting the progress.

Coffee machine dry.

It was an aromatic disaster, and the office smelled of coffee. No one touched the coffee machine, but it spat out the coffee. When my colleagues laughed and said that the smart coffee machine was a disabled coffee machine, I did not realize the seriousness of the problem and immediately put into work again.

However, the sweeping robots also began to riot and began to hit the table. Noisy can't work at all. At this time, the colleague next to him suddenly exclaimed: "What's going on?" The computer is virused! ”

Only to see that the text on his Word was automatically replaced with π!

I subconsciously glanced at the time, 3:20, and six minutes ago it was exactly 3:14. By the time I got back to God, my Excel sheet content had become π.

There are π star people in the office. They came, no, they did.

There are no tsunamis, earthquakes, laser weapons, it's all science fiction movies for eye-catching special effects. π star people they engage in private customization. And they don't kill, they're humiliating. They extract information from their phones or computers and attack in ways that know you better than you do. What's even more frightening is the current social Internet of Things, all of which can be manipulated...

When the colleagues were overwhelmed, the boss quietly appeared. Although he had just appeared in the corridor, a colleague found the boss, and the colleague hurriedly sat down to create a work illusion. When the administrators were about to report on the chaotic situation, the boss fell to the ground. Everyone rushed over, and the colleagues who had just sat down stood up again, and they all wanted to be the first to help the boss.

In this competition, Lao Zhang won the first place, no way, near the water tower platform first to get the moon. Lao Zhang smiled triumphantly, but when he approached the boss, he suddenly slowed down, covered his mouth and nose, and did not want to move forward. The people in the back immediately recoiled, but they saw the boss covered in vomit. But he did not hesitate and went directly to help the boss. A few more people rushed to the front line, and several people joined forces to carry the boss back to the office.

Only to hear the boss shouting confusedly: "Car... Cart...... Project...... How about..."

Later, we learned that the boss's newly changed car was spinning like a spinning top. After stopping, the boss can actually walk slowly to the company. This is the instinct of the capitalists, who are all dizzy and want to supervise the work.

I took advantage of the chaos and hid in the toilet. Make a phone call to my daughter-in-law first, and although I know that π star is in the phone, I want to try. I quickly talked about the office situation, asked her how it was, and then asked her to quickly stay away from computers, mobile phones, smart homes, and iPad40. Before I could say π the invasion of Earth by the Starmen. But she scolded me for being neurotic and mentioning what the iPad40 meant. Everything was normal on her side, nothing unusual. Then I hung up the phone.

I then called the child's homeroom teacher, and there was nothing unusual about the reply.

"Don't worry about the others, have anyone else ever taken care of you and shared your worries?"

π Star broke off my contact with the class teacher and borrowed the voice of the mobile phone to start speaking.

This is exactly where π star people are terrified, always able to pinch your weaknesses. A middle-aged man is most afraid of encountering this kind of sugar-coated shell. They are often trapped in the face, carrying the pressure of family and work, and will never confide in the bitterness of their hearts, at this time as long as outsiders show a hint of sweet empathy, they will be attracted. If there is some poison mixed in the sweetness, there is no doubt that death awaits them.

Although I was touched by this sentence, it was a time of war, and I was sober that I had to strengthen my willpower defenses while fighting back.

"Not important. You've been on Earth for fifty years, and we've brought you great shows, and you haven't given you a dime. Why have so many sufferings and disasters on the earth not seen you help? ”

"This is because we are unwilling to intervene in human civilization. Moreover, we ourselves are in a state of trauma, and our hearts are not enough. ”

"So what are you all doing now?"

"Well, let's not talk about this, let's get down to business." Why didn't you go to the moon yesterday to apologize? ”

"I have to work on Monday, don't you all work?" And you didn't give a specific plan later. I thought you would send a spaceship to pick me up. ”

"Of course work, each of us is working hard. That was all that had been said. Won't you ask someone for help? We will not be embarrassed for humans, you humans have the technology to go to the moon. ”

"Astronauts can land on the moon, can I land on the moon?" Can that be the same? ”

"You are all human beings, can't you understand each other?" You humans are also divided, which is very similar to us. Although you call this childbirth, many of you, going back, may be a parent. ”

Hearing about individuals, I finally understood that the social structure of human beings and π stars is different. Human beings rely on the cultural system to pack the individual in a frame, but the individual is an individual after all, and it cannot be integrated. To do something, you need to run into it. And the individuals after they split can still feel what all the individuals want to do. The desire of the individual is the desire of the whole. So they can't understand deception and hate deception. Man is always a separate individual. Some things just can't be felt.

Although they understand human civilization, they do not seem to understand the human conditions of the world.

"Our emotions, our thoughts can't be passed down. So deep down, you can't understand each other 100%. Agreeing but not doing it is the bottom line for you, right? ”

"Exactly, now that you already know it. Then you will pay for it. ”

"What is the cost? I've paid the price, my Excel..."

"No comment." After saying this sentence, it disappeared for no reason, and it did not agree to any question. Then a colleague came to the bathroom, and I pretended to have just hung up the phone and went back to my desk.

At this time, I suddenly remembered the conversation I had with the leader on WeChat, first of all, I said the right thing, and he also said this kind of thing. I turned my head and complained to my daughter-in-law about the attitude of the leader, saying that I hated this tone the most. I didn't expect to be used by them for myself. No wonder I always feel that π star and leader are a kind of person. The way they speak is really deeply mined.

At 4:14, I finally understood what the price was.

The courier box on the moon opened. It is not known when they took over the Houyi, through which they declared war on earth. To avoid war, they had to give the moon to them, and they had to take the moon out of the solar system. It's really a lion opening its mouth.

It turned out that the price was the loss of the moon for humanity.

At that moment, our computer also showed this scene. The office erupted in laughter. Everyone briefly withdrew from the state of computer crash. Some people say that those aliens don't know that there is an old saying in China? The grasshopper shakes the tree, ridiculously self-imposed.

I can't laugh. They have all forgotten another old saying, that people are not to be disguised, and the sea is incomparable. They haven't yet connected the chaos in front of them to aliens.

At 8 p.m., humans had to sign the Moon Treaty with aliens.

Because the aliens held the intercontinental missile as fireworks, although it did not hurt people, it could scare humans enough. Smart home appliances all over the world are starting to ghost.

They asked whether to give the moon or not, and if they did not give it, they began to set off the nuclear bomb version of fireworks. They literally sent a nuclear bomb into orbit in outer space and exploded live around the world. And most desperately, human weapons are ineffective against them.

Under pressure, the United Nations, which represents all humanity, agreed to donate the planet to the π star people, signed by the Secretary-General of the United Nations. π will build thrusters on the moon and fly away with the moon. The lunar rockets of various countries will become their cargo elevators.

After the signing of the treaty, everything returned to normal, and mobile phones and computers could be used normally. But there was an uproar in the office, and someone began to curse. And some people started crying. Some people snatched the door and ran to the square to look at the moon in a daze.

And my heart is full of guilt. If you gave them the iPad 40, or went to the moon to apologize to it, or didn't deal with the old computer and talk to them clearly, would you not lose the moon? But when people reach middle age, no one really shares... One really can't handle it. I lowered my head and hurried home. But there was no one in the house, and after I contacted my daughter-in-law, I learned that she was in the courtyard of the community and prayed for the moon with everyone.

I found her in the crowd. Next to him, a young child was tugging at the corner of an old man's clothes with silver hair and asked, "Grandpa, the moon is not our family, why should we worry about it?" I'm going home to watch cartoons. ”

"The Moon doesn't belong to any one individual, but it's part of us."

It sounds a lot like the way π star people exist. It's just that they reside on chips, and humans are in these spirits.

The child did not understand this, but still clamored to go back, and was stopped by his father. There was silence all around. My daughter-in-law also snuggled quietly on my shoulder.

A few Kong Ming lanterns rose and drifted toward the moon. I noticed that the lights in the neighborhood were out. The moonlight shines on us, and seeing such a bright moon for the first time washes the soul of each individual.

At this time, a man began to recite Li Bai's poems, as if he were the teacher who taught in middle school, and I had met him several times, but I could not remember his name. The impression is that he is an introverted wooden man.

《Moon-based Drink》

A pot of wine between the flowers, drinking alone without blind dates.

Raise a glass to invite Mingyue, and the shadow into three people.

The moon did not drink, and the shadow disciple followed me.

Temporarily accompanied by the moon will be shadowed, happy and spring.

My song and moon linger, and my dancing shadow is chaotic.

When they wake up, they are happy, and when they are drunk, they are scattered.

Yongjie travels mercilessly, phased in with Yun Han.

Finally, he repeated the sentence "Eternal knot ruthlessly travels, phased in the yun han" several times. Drink wine as you repeat until you can't cry and can't repeat it.

I began to wonder, after the moon flew away, would people still be able to read Li Bai's poems about the moon?

My daughter-in-law asked me, "Will the earth be better?" ”

I nodded and gave her an affirmative answer. But I don't know the answer in my heart.

People always have to start caring when things become irretrievable. Thinking about this, suddenly my mood improved.

No one will ever say again, does the alien invasion of Earth have anything to do with you? No one says stop doing science fiction, don't think about it every day. I felt relieved that someone was finally sharing this matter, or all of humanity. But I can't show my happiness.

I looked at the night sky, looked at the moon, thought of Li Bai's poem, and was silent.

Fortunately, the moon was not lost. A week later, the π starmen returned the moon to Earth.

The next day, the Secretary-General of the United Nations secretly contacted me, and I thought it was a scam call, so I ignored it. After a while, Director Zhao of the neighborhood committee appeared in our company and wanted to pull me away horizontally, but she just didn't say why, because the level of confidentiality was too high, and she didn't know. I had to ask my boss for leave, but I didn't approve it. Who knows, immediately another pop-up message, the parent company fired the boss.

Transfer layer by layer. I met with the Secretary-General of the United Nations. He told me that the aliens had asked me to go to the moon by name, and that I had to obey, which was a matter of human safety.

I took a cool breath. The whole thing did start because of me, it was true that I was not well-mannered to snub the aliens, but I was also wronged, and no one really taught me how to deal with aliens since I was a child. But this is the end of the matter, let's take responsibility, not to mention that the moon landing is a million, and I will exchange this million for the rest of my life. I made an anonymous request so as not to disturb my family. The Secretary-General agreed. Then I spoke on the phone with my daughter-in-law, and she said she understood, but she cried bitterly.

Rockets sent me to the moon. I had nothing but to discover now that the azure planet was so beautiful, like a sapphire in the night. The moon, on the other hand, is so desolate, just a pile of white ash.

I entered the Houyi, where I met the π Starmen. I'm the only one. There is no live signal.

"The price is really big." Mankind lost the moon, and I lost my life. A family is also incomplete. I smiled bitterly.

"No, we just want you to apologize personally, have you forgotten the story of the guilt?" They are using houyi's voice system to deliver content.

"I think you are much more hypocritical than humans!" You are delusional doves occupying the magpie's nest! ”

"Really just want you to sincerely apologize and have no other thoughts." We have discussed it, and the first time it is indeed inappropriate, that human society operates in a different way than we do. So we discussed one of the most time-saving methods. Show off your strength, and then roll call you up. Our ship is too small to take you with us. We're leaving the solar system and heading to the next planet with intelligent features. When you apologize, we'll give the moon back to humanity. ”

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, and you can also not apologize, we will immediately advance the moon ascent plan, and take the moon around the universe."

"Don't! I was wrong. I shouldn't have made a deal between the π and the Americans without confirmation, I shouldn't have promised you gifts but they hadn't been delivered, I shouldn't have delayed until I reached the moon now. I was wrong, give me a chance to reform, I am willing to give you the gift again. ”

"That's right. But the third is that we did not understand the way human society works at that time. As for the gifts, after all, we really didn't pay a penny, and we didn't help the earth. Now we return the moon to you, and then we begin to prepare to leave the solar system. ”

"Where are you going next?" Is it that the Earth program is tired of watching, and go to another planet to see a new program? ”

"No comment. Hahaha. Your human level of science and technology is still very shallow, and you can't meet it. "Or the boss's tone, why can't they use some normal human words?"

But this sentence suddenly reminded me of Li Bai's poem.

"Send you a poem, Xiang Xiang Yun Han." Human space technology is still in infancy, and it cannot be laughed at because it is a baby. I believe we will eventually meet again in the universe. ”

"Makes a lot of sense. Then we make a bet that when your exploration technology develops and finds us in the universe, we will pay back the fees we owe. What do you think? ”

"I took this bet on behalf of humanity!"

Earth's π stellar ensemble ends and merges with their lunar bases. After they returned the moon to us, they left in a light-speed spacecraft.

It's another Sunday, the end of May. My son suddenly entered the study, and I hurriedly put away the thank-you letter sent to me by the United Nations, after all, this matter has the strictest confidentiality agreement.

He asked me, "Dad, although the aliens have returned the moon to us." But what if you say humans really lost the moon? ”

I was about to tell him about Li Bai and the emotions of human beings.

But he went on to say, "This is what we're going to talk about tomorrow in physics class, and you'll have to talk about it better." ”

I was asked. I can't remember what the teacher said in the class that year, and I remember all the content of the geography class.

Who knew that the son sighed and said, "Just know that you don't know, you don't even understand this, alas." ”

You can't cure aliens, you can't cure your daughter-in-law, you can't cure your boss, you can't cure your boy.

"No comment. Is the homework done? When will the three-mode results come out? Such a sensitive question will the college entrance examination be tested? Hurry up and review it. ”

The son left in a daze.

I looked out the window and wondered, as a liberal arts student, shouldn't I take that bet?
