Chapter 1708 It's been a thousand years since the big dream woke up
Binhai City a thousand years later?
Zhang Zian's mind did not react to this sentence for a long time.
For him, a year has passed so long. I don’t know if I can marry a wife within ten years. Living until the 22nd century is already a great victory. What does a thousand years mean?
When his consciousness finally accepted the reality, he almost became scared!
The only reason that could stop him from peeing his pants was because he kept telling himself that it was a dream.
"You... aren't you kidding? This is a thousand years later... will human beings perish?" he asked in a stern voice.
No wonder he thought so. Standing on the top of Hidden Mist Mountain, he could not see any signs of human activity. The huge Binhai City was like a dead city, as cold as a tomb.
Zhuang Xiaodie restrained her smile, "This is not necessarily the case."
"Not necessarily...what does it mean?" He had a glimmer of hope.
She said calmly: "This is just one of the future I deduced based on the existing technological trends of human beings, state relations, social changes, group ideas and other conditions. It does not necessarily mean that this is the future. After all, I will not travel through time and space."
Zhang Zian was stunned again, feeling mixed feelings, but she felt a little relieved. This is the future she deduced, not the real future. And according to her meaning, there are many possibilities in the future, and this is just one of them.
"Where have all the humans gone?" he asked tentatively.
"In different futures, human beings have different endings: in some futures, human beings use nuclear war to destroy themselves; in some futures, human beings successfully leave the earth and move towards the starry sky; in some futures, human beings are destroyed... But no matter which future, the future of Binhai City will be like this, not only Binhai City, but also existing big cities in the world will be like this. Human beings will not be able to live in primitive cities on the surface a thousand years later, otherwise this thousand years would have lived to a dog." She answered confidently.
Zhang Zian: "..." I think you are swearing, but I have no evidence.
"It's really interesting. I created a copy of the dream world in the real world, and then accelerated the time flow in the copy without any interference. This is what the real world will look like in a thousand years... As long as the initial conditions are extremely subtle adjustments, the evolution results will also change, but the appearance of the city will be basically the same after a thousand years." She recalled her experimental process leisurely, and the expression on her face seemed to be a scientist who was obsessed with exploring the essence of the world.
The only difference is that she regards the entire earth as her experimental subject and uses it to observe the evolution of human society, which is similar to what humans will see after a nest of ants reproduction for hundreds of generations.
The more Zhang Zian heard, the more speechless he became. If he hadn't been afraid of getting the ball, he would have wanted to split her fork.
She squatted down, picked up a broken brick and tiles, and rubbed it gently, "Civilization is really fragile. Whether it is the giant steel ships spread across the sea or the aviation network covering the world, it is vulnerable to time. Only stone and concrete can survive thousands of years and be immortal, just like the pyramids of Egypt."
Zhang Zi'an looked at Binhai City again. As she said, as long as she looked carefully, she would find that the entire city was left with only concrete outlines, and debris such as billboards, glass, neon lights, cars, garbage cans, etc. had all turned into scrap copper and iron that could not distinguish shapes and attributes.
The Wuyin Teahouse on the top of Yinwu Mountain, the wooden structure of the building can never escape the erosion of time, and there is not even a grain of wood residue left.
"Let's go." she said.
“Where to go?”
He thought she was kind enough to let him leave his dream.
She glanced at him angrily, as if she blamed him for being confused, "Where are you going? Of course, I'm going to Binhai City to go shopping."
Zhang Zi'an: "..."
If it were in reality, refusing this kind of invitation to be a peerless beauties would probably be punished by God, but what he is most unwilling to be shopping now is to think about his birth, growth, living, and living in the streets he lives in have turned into ruins. This kind of mood is really a big deal.
Having said that, he didn't dare to offend her, so he could only try to ask a question: "From here to Binhai City? Walk?"
Anyway, Yinwu Mountain is also located in the suburbs of Binhai City. Although the straight line distance from the city center is not too far, you can run a desperate horse on the mountain, let alone go down the mountain.
Of course, she doesn't care about time, and he doesn't actually have to care. A day in the dream world may be just equivalent to a second in the real world.
She didn't explain much, and took a step forward, and actually walked directly to the edge of the cliff, with one foot flying into the air.
Even though he knew it was a dream, Zhang Zi'an was still frightened and sweated in his palms.
She did not fall from the sky as he imagined, nor did she fly across the wings on her back, but there seemed to be a rainbow path under her feet, leading from the top of the mountain to the city. She walked slowly along the rainbow.
Zhang Zi'an was convinced. Not to mention anything else, at least in terms of her ability to show off, she was better than her.
He stood on the edge of the cliff like her, and took a casual look at his feet. He was afraid of heights, but there was nothing he could do. If he didn't want to be looked down upon by her, he could only follow him with a tough bullet.
He stretched out one foot and tried to step on it. He stepped on the rainbow, as if he was stepping on a plastic track, strong and elastic without slipping.
Walking on a rainbow is really a magical experience. The earth extends under your feet, and because the rainbow is tilted downward at a small angle, it is not difficult to walk at all.
The wind was a little strong, and he felt that he might be blown down along the rainbow at any time.
The straight line between the two points is the shortest. Before he walked, he had already entered the traditional coastal city area.
Due to the dense trees and weeds, most landmark buildings in the city are no longer recognizable, and there are some high-rise buildings that he has never seen before than he remembers. The most obvious sign nearby is the main teaching building of Binhai University. He still remembers the main teaching building. After all, he has been wandering in it for a long time to find Richard, but he has never observed it from the outside at such a close distance. I am afraid no one has.
The rainbow path passes through the teaching building at a distance, and most of the ceramic tiles on the building have peeled off. Even if there are occasional residuals, they have been abraded by wind and sand and lost their original luster.
Walking over the familiar and unfamiliar city, the more you move forward, the closer you get to the ground, the clearer the buildings get, which makes people feel like they change.
After walking for a while, the rainbow was getting lower and lower, and Zhuang Xiaodie took the lead in stepping on the ground.
"This is……"
Although everything around him was strange, a familiar feeling suddenly surged in his heart.
"Zhonghua Road, the former site of Qiyuan Pet Shop." she said.
