Imperfections

Lin Jingheng put his finger on his personal terminal. He thought he was fearless all his life. At that moment, what he thought was not to open the door and break in, but to close the eavesdropper with his eyes closed and erase the record of Zhanlu Jump out of the window and pretend you didn’t hear anything.

Lu Bixing continued to say in a very light voice: “I don’t want him to think that it is because he made me feel insecure …”

Lin Jingheng’s breathing was stagnation.

“… He has accommodated me too much, and the pressure has always been very high,” Lu Bixing said. “People are very bored, and they will not let go of their minds.”

Dr. Harden: “…”

When he remembered what Lin Jingheng did on the asteroid, he felt trembling with liver and gallbladder, feeling that he and Lu Bixing might not know the same person.

When Lu Bixing looked at the doctor’s small expression ready to appeal, he knew that the old gentleman was afraid that Lin Jingheng pitted him with a psychological shadow, and ran to him to call a grievance.

The case appeared to be fine.

Lu Bixing had no choice but to apologize and smiled at him, at the same time, he felt that it was not a taste-everyone thought that Lin Jingheng was a bastard, and with a breath, he could stir up a world upset, even if he was turned upside down. The blasted fragments of the eco-cabin smashed through in mid-air, and turned around and resurrected with blood, as if he would not hurt, not be afraid, and not a physical child.

“I always want to escape, Dr. Harden,” Lu Bixing said. “I used to play that kind of muddy role. I gave the power of decision-making to others. Imagine relying on one mouth to make suggestions. It will make everyone happy. Forever. Do n’t make choices that may hurt some people, and always want to be a good person … Later, I found out that this is not a humanistic spirit, it is just that I am passing on the pressure-I just talk about closing the eighth galaxy, With our current level of technology, we can’t even stabilize the communication signal. How can we destroy the natural wormhole area? “

Dr. Harden sighed: “Yeah, and you are General Lu Xin after all …”

“I am the son of the eighth galaxy, and I have only one caretaker, he is in the cemetery,” Lu Bixing interrupted the old Harden flatly, and then, as if he noticed the rigidity of his tone, Lu Bixing smiled at him again. After a while, “I personally admire General Lu Xin and his Declaration of Freedom, but you also know that I only retain a bit of his genes in a part of my body, and I ca n’t talk about his blood, and he has no spiritual inheritance. It ’s a good thing, let ’s just play with emotional cards to fool outsiders. ”

Lin Jingheng looked incredibly toward the living room, his gaze seemed to penetrate the thick stairwell and soundproof door.

For so long, he hasn’t figured out how to discuss Lu Xin with Lu Bixing. Because Lu Xin was also a part of the past, the last time they talked about General Lu Xin, the two were trapped by the rainbow virus together and desperately went halfway to the old nest outside the Anti-Uzbek region. “Masterpiece” by General Lu.

Lin Jingheng thought about it a lot, and he even worried that Lu Bixing would blame him because he had concealed him for a long time, or felt that his approach was different.

But no, Lu Bixing has maintained his condition after taking the soothing agent No. 6-calm and detached from this matter.

It turned out that he didn’t care, wasn’t it because of the big format that he could think of?

Lu Bixing politely said to Dr. Harden, “I’m sorry to disturb you with these confusions.”

“No,” Dr. Harden shook his head. “If still is willing to be like you, willing to sit down and talk with me instead of forcing me to give her experimental data, probably …”

“Ms. Lin’s idea is not necessarily unreasonable,” Lu Bixing said, “if the world becomes what she imagined, at least it will not repeat the same mistakes of Eden.”

“President Lu,” Dr. Harden suddenly turned his face, and the bitter gourd-like face was inexplicable because of this unusual dignity. “In fact, no matter how diligent you are, and no matter how hard you think about it, you want to find a way The new way out, no matter what kind of new relationship and new system the future alliance and the eighth galaxy will have, in the end, they will eventually repeat the same mistakes of the alliance and fall again. This is destined-this is I lived more than 300 years old, did countless wrong things, and walked countless detours, the only experience I can tell you. “

Lu must walk for a while.

“At that time, the Eden Management Committee covered the sky with one hand. I, Laura, Woolf, Lin Jingyong … and even Jingheng all pushed the alliance more or less. On the surface, it was the struggle between us that broke the alliance apart. Dr. Harden said, “But in fact, the last census before the war showed that within the alliance, the birth rate of children with cephalopathy has risen rapidly at a rate of 0.4% per year. At the same time, in the Eden environment, emotional drugs Consumption is also increasing year by year, which means that in this way, within a generation, there will be chaos in the alliance. We are only accelerating this process at best. “

“I don’t know if President Lu has heard that there is a very classic horror conjecture in the ancient earth era.” Dr. Harden said, “Some people ask, ‘Will our future die in Orwell, or die in Huxley ‘(Note 1)? “

“Well, I heard a little bit, the 20th century, AD,” Lu Bixing said. “The interstellar civilization sprouts. Historians believe that it is the beginning of the” Earth “countdown.

“Yes, these two great prophets, one describes high-pressure tyranny, a society driven by endless hatred and autocracy, and the other describes a society of entertainment to death, voluntary brainwashing, and a set doll; To an eternal but inconclusive war environment, another about the era when wars disappeared, human cohesion, and everyone was immersed in psychedelic drugs. “Dr. Harden said in a hoarse, soothing voice,” but four The Epoch Times has passed, and the reality is that we often sway between these two predictions-such as the old ephemeris era overthrown by the alliance, such as Eden, which has become very dangerous … “

Lu Bixing asked: “Is there a free army?”

“The Free Army Corps … The Free Army Corps dared to think more. Lin Jinglian’s ambition was devastating. She tried to combine the two seemingly pitfalls into one. The biochip rose through the east wind after the Eden shattered, tempting those painful and It was Huxley ’s approach to fragile people to voluntarily fall into traps, undergo transformation, and use technology to interfere in the social structure-and then to manage her empire with terror, unresistable pressure and hierarchical autocracy. Will’s world. “Dr. Harden smiled bitterly.” She collected money quickly and efficiently, and killed a **** path with her sword. “

Lu Bixing thought about it: “In some ways, it is very remarkable. From a contemporary perspective, we think she may be cruel and extinct. But what if she succeeds? A few years later, everyone from the history book I read that chaotic coalition, I would despise it very much, because in them, everyone is step by step, performing their duties, and has a fixed promotion path, everyone will not be confused, very happy, they have no war, There is no oppression-the hierarchical suppression of the chip allows them to obey from the heart, not to feel oppressed, and the need to resist … “

“There will no longer be ‘survivors’ in this world,” Harden replied, “because they will no longer be in disaster. She is unsuccessful, she is a star pirate who kills and trafficks. If she succeeds, she is the future saint.”

Lu Bixing looked at him half-jokingly: “I’m almost ready to say that, I said, Dr. Harden, wouldn’t you be a spy from the Free Army Corps?”

Dr. Harden: “But I don’t agree. From the Earth age to the current era of the new ephemeris, human civilization spanned four epochs. For hundreds of thousands of years, the long-term ‘stability’ in these two predictions has not been achieved. Except In the era of great and short voyages, we always faced sharp social contradictions after a period of calm, and then went to chaos or war. After a blast, we lived in stricken lives and moved to a new cycle— — Cycles, like cursed.

Lu Bixing didn’t smile, for a long time, he said carefully: “You are saying, this is the price of freedom? Do you still believe in the declaration of freedom?”

“This is the price of pursuing freedom,” Dr. Harden corrected. “Because from ancient times, neither the elite nor the masses have ever achieved the so-called” freedom. “Chief, do you know, some even said, ‘People do not need freedom’, because the higher the degree of freedom, the heavier the responsibility becomes, the more heavy you are that you can’t afford, the more willing you can draw the prison. Even the president acknowledges that you always want to give the right to choose Someone else becomes a person who has to obey orders, not to mention ordinary people like us. “

Lu Bixing felt the same and felt even more mournful.

“At such a high price, everyone was just shouting slogans. No one knows what freedom really is. The Declaration of Freedom is more like a joke.” Dr. Harden said, “Why don’t we start from Orwell and Huxley?” Choose one of Li’s two roads and go on forever and forever? “

Lu Bixing’s expression flickered slightly, and he lowered his head to look into Dr. Harden’s old, muddy eyes.

“Some people say that the world described by Orwell and Huxley is opposite, in fact they are depicting the same thing,” Dr. Harden said. “No, I am not talking about the so-called” ironical political dictatorship “-they depict It’s the ‘claustrophobia’ of the whole society. “

“We are like a legendary footless bird (Note 2), we can never stop, we will inactivate and then perish when we stop. We must expand, we must continue to open up a new world. The concept of claustrophobia also follows the activity The scope has expanded and become more and more broad. I remember Jing Heng and I discussed this issue on an asteroid. In ancient times, billions of people were crowded on an asteroid, and no one felt that they were locked up, because in On a natural planet with good conditions, natural resources can be fully self-sufficient. But now, the president wants to sever the relationship between the eight galaxies and the alliance, and your term is still ‘closed.’ “

Anger, anxiety, pain, and ignorance are free will itself.

“Declaration of freedom, sounding, false sky and no logic, but the reason it can stand there is because it conforms to human nature, the total length, nature is not necessarily logical, otherwise the reproduction and mating, why are you young Are people obsessed with love that is useless and brings painful love? “Dr. Harden asked the robot to lift the instrument and make a resignation.” Unless this nature disappears one day, but humans on that day may be the same as now We are not a species. President Lu, since you finally gave up the path of human evolution, you should be ready for mentality at any time. “

Lu Bixing helped him pick up his coat.

“Be ready,” Lu Bixing whispered, “Yeah, after all, the natural wormhole has been opened by ourselves. It’s self-inflicted. But I still have to thank you on behalf of the expedition. It is said that we will build a cross-wormhole communication. The expedition has benefited a lot from you. Dr. Harden, as a human-computer interaction expert, is also quite experienced in communication technology. It seems that being trapped in a space prison makes perfect. “

Dr. Harden smiled wryly, “No, only the tools of primitive people in his hand, and the best space prison to fight for, more than ten years, let alone me, even that school day all day Absenteeism and violence have become half experts. “

Lu Bixing said casually: “He said he couldn’t remember how many times he had failed.”

Dr. Harden naturally thought that Lin Jingheng had said this before, and said smoothly: “I can remember that more than two thousand transmissions failed, and another one who is not so iron-hearted is probably crazy.”

Lin Jingheng: “…”

How did a wise old expert spanning multiple fields fall into the trap of health product fraud … on the scene.

It’s almost invisible.

Lu Bixing’s hand holding Harden’s wheelchair back shuddered.

Two thousand … many times.

So every time I get a failure message, I climb to the roof and watch the stars alone?

Isn’t that dark?

But he was no longer the young man who dragged him to the bazaar and held an orange to make him smile. He could no longer promise without hesitation “I will go with you wherever you go.”

“Doctor,” Lu Bixing ghostly blurted out, “If in a relationship, you find that you can no longer bring happiness to the other party, but have been forcing him and dragging his feet, shouldn’t it be …”

Before he finished speaking, the door of the living room was slammed open, and he slammed into the wall. The door shaft and the wall screamed at the same time.

Dr. Harden was old and nervous, and almost scared off the wheelchair by the movement.

The robotic arm Zhanlu quickly slid down the ceiling: “The door shaft is damaged and the wall is sunken. Please turn on the home maintenance function-sir, I need to remind you that this is very uncivilized violence …”

Lin Jingheng: “Go away.”

Zhanlu shut up, slipped off the ceiling, and fell into a man with short flax hair. He quickly stepped forward to pick up Dr. Harden’s wheelchair: “I’ll take you home.”

Only then did Dr. Harden, who was standing on the height of human beings, pointed out the history and the future, and did not dare to put on his farts. He clamped his tail decisively and followed Zhanlu to dodge.

Lin Jingheng stood stiffly, nailed Lu Bixing with his eyes on fire, motionless.

What’s more, there was someone outside, and he had to save some face for the Chief, so Lin Jingheng waited until the door rang, and knew that Dr. Harden was gone, he picked up Lu’s collar and pressed him against the wall: ” Come here and talk. “

Lu Bixing has not returned yet, and said in a panic, “When did you come back, why didn’t Zhan Lu …”

Lin Jingheng interrupted him, extruding a sentence from his teeth: “What did you say to the old man just now, tell me again.”

Lu Bixing-just standing on the height of human beings and looking into the distance, Mr. Chief, who has not had time to step down from the high platform-I have no such courage, and I can’t wear it back a minute ago, and put my own ghostly words back to my throat In the eyes, the legs are a little soft.

Lin Jingheng pressed hard: “What should I do?”

Lu Bixing’s lips opened: “I …”

His frantic virtue was like pouring a handful of hot oil onto Lin Jingheng’s heart, which was blasted with magma and his limbs boiled. Lin Jingheng felt that he had never had such a big fire in his life. Thinking of Lu Bixing The chip on his body, the medical records in Zhanlu’s complaint, the finger joints were “cuckling” by his fingers … I just hate that I can’t round the person and throw it on the ground to make a spinning top.

Of course, the miser was mad and did n’t want to smash the jade bottle. Lin Jingheng’s heart exploded three times, his thoracic spine was burned, and he couldn’t bear the total length of his hair. He froze for a moment and hit him with a punch on the wall. , Turned around and left, intending to find a place to fight the fire, was dragged by Lu Bixing.

“You said you weren’t injured. You said you were just taken back by the Freedom Corps and locked up for a few years. What is the brain injury? What is ‘Lin Jinglian wants you to be a vegetative all the time?’” Lu Bixing’s voice was in his throat. Here, grabbing the hem of Lin Jingheng ’s shirt, Lin Jingheng earnestly and did not break away—the animal had cheated with biochips, and Lu Bixing could not help digging his fingers into his clothes, pressing on the scar on his lower abdomen, “This again what’s going on?”
