Chapter 1 The New World
Shanghai, Putuo District.
After the alarm clock rang, Han Tang rubbed his eyes and got up from the bed. He stretched his waist and subconsciously touched the cigarette, but the table was empty.
Looking up at the electronic clock on the wall, it showed the words "temperature, humidity, rainfall probability" on August 5, 3018. Han Tang then remembered that cigarettes have long disappeared in this era and are only in museums for people to see.
After changing his clothes, Han Tang came to the desk with his coffee and sat down, turned his head and looked out the window.
The sun rises eastward, the sky is light and white in the blue sky, the morning light radiates the earth, and there are skyscrapers in the city, like countless steel monsters, the height of the building is generally more than 1,000 meters. It is formed in one go by 3D printing technology, and then lifted high by the aircraft, and placed it into the long-lost foundation like planting trees.
In addition to the tall buildings, flying cars kept whistling past the windows. They were extremely fast, and they were rushing and flashing, which was dazzling.
In general, life in the thirty-first century is very dreamy, and Han Tang is also satisfied with it. However, as an ancient person, so far, Han Tang does not have an ID card, so it is not convenient to travel.
Han Tang was born in 1997. His parents died early. His life experience was ordinary. There was nothing worth reading. He was obsessed with online games. Later, he quit because of the college entrance examination. What he didn't quit was anime. His ideal wife was Yui Aragaki.
In 2018, Han Tang, who had just graduated from university, was diagnosed with a late stage of brain tumor. The doctor advised him to be hospitalized, but he felt that his death was approaching anyway, and instead of lying on the hospital bed and suffering, it would be better to spend it as much as possible in the last time.
So, Han Tang sold the property left by his parents, traveled far away with his savings, dived, bungee jumped, and leaped in the jungle, and tasted the most dangerous games. He relied on his unskilled foreign language and drank with the blonde foreign girl all night.
When he arrived in Phuket, Han Tang was terminally ill, weak, and had not spent much money. He planned to find a beautiful sea, tied heavy objects on his feet, sank into the sea, and ended his miserable life.
At this time, Han Tang suddenly received a call from a medical institution with a mysterious background. They were conducting a human freezing experiment and invited Han Tang to join. Han Tang thought about it and agreed to them with the idea of giving up the jar.
Looking back now, his life was like a dream.
After a thousand years of freezing and sealing, three months ago, Han Tang was finally thawed and successfully performed a brain tumor removal surgery.
However, just as Han Tang was full of joy and was about to start his second life, the situation suddenly took a sharp turn. After the brain surgery, he suffered from a more bizarre disease.
One morning, Han Tang sat down on the sofa, but didn't notice that there were scissors on the sofa. The scissors pierced into Han Tang's butt, and he didn't feel any pain at all.
With scissors inserted on his butt, Han Tang moved as usual until he was caught while taking the elevator and was immediately pushed into the operating room for the second time.
After repeated expert consultations and physical examinations, no one could explain why Han Tang could not feel the pain.
Anyway, the result was that Han Tang became a piece of wood, and anyone could poke him twice. After poking it, Han Tang didn't know that he would take off his clothes and check in the mirror before going to bed. If he found two holes on his body, Han Tang would think, Oh, I was poked today.
If there is no pain, it is considered a superpower. Han Tang felt that he might be called a Blade Man or something.
Han Tang had no habit of eating breakfast. After drinking coffee, he walked out of the room, took the magnetic levitation elevator, and came to the sky garden on the 185th floor.
After saying hello to someone who is familiar with him, Han Tang found a bench to sit down, turned on his tablet to read a book.
Not long after, Ye Wei came. He was a graduate student at the Center for Life Sciences and a fan of Han Tang. He often pestered Han Tang and asked him to tell the past of the 21st century. After a long time, the two became friends.
When Ye Wei saw Han Tang, his eyes lit up, his face showed a smile, he raised an envelope in his hand and shouted: "Ancestor! Ancestor! Your ID is sent!"
Han Tang frowned and felt a little helpless. Since his theoretical age was 1,021 years old and his seniority was tens of generations older than any Earthling, he had this strange nickname.
Han Tang took the envelope from Ye Wei, opened it, and poured the contents in the envelope on the bench. In addition to some official letters, there were two thin holographic data cards, one of which was an ID card. Han Tang's birthday on the ID card was 1997, which looked particularly dazzling.
The other one is a social security card. The social security card also has the function of a bank account. On the first day of each month, the Ministry of Social Security will deposit 2,400 earth yuan in the card as a basic living allowance. According to the exchange rate, the money is equivalent to RMB 21st century, about 5,000 yuan.
The social welfare in the 31st century was very generous, and Han Tang was deeply moved. He never expected that after the earth joined the big family of cosmic civilization, he would actually make a fortune with his unique skills in cooking.
Yes, cooking.
Foodies on Earth are majestic. In order to satisfy the picky appetites of foodies, although the earth has not developed black technology, it has developed a good cooking skill and makes the food very delicious.
In comparison, the earth is a bit like Thailand in the 21st century. It has low prices, good people, good natural scenery, and delicious food, which has attracted alien foodies to flock to it and used the earth as a destination for travel.
In addition to developing tourism, the Earth Republic also has a very strange department, the Food Department.
The main job of the Food Department is to promote the earth's food culture. They operate the earth's food city in various parts of the universe, exporting earth's food such as Lao Ganma to the entire universe, and earning money from aliens.
Ye Wei bought two bottles of Coke from a vending machine, handed one of them to Han Tang, and said, "By the way, this morning, the Earth Guard called you to go there."
Han Tang was surprised. He frowned and asked in confusion: "What are the army doing for me?"
Ye Wei unscrewed the Coke bottle, fed it twice, and said in a corrective tone: "Oncestor, don't make a mistake. The Earth Guard is not an ordinary army. Ordinary army uses guns to fight, while the Earth Guard uses star armor, which is much higher in level."
"They said on the phone that because your genetic information is incorrect, you need to be corrected again, so I let you go there. It's not a big deal anyway. I have reported to the dean. I will accompany you tomorrow, just treat it as a tourist trip. By the way, we can also visit the Star Academic Research Institute."
Han Tang nodded. It was good to have the opportunity to visit the Star Armor Research Institute. I have heard that Star Armor is the number one combat artifact in the universe. Unfortunately, Han Tang only heard of it and has never seen it with his own eyes.
Ye Wei put down the drink, took out a disinfection box, put on gloves, and used a silver needle to perform daily pain tests for Han Tang.
Han Tang saw the silver needle pierce in and out, and a drop of red blood flowed out between his fingers, and sighed helplessly.
It is said that ten fingers are connected to the heart. If an ordinary person's finger is stabbed by a silver needle, it should feel very painful. A weak girl may even cry out loud, but Han Tang did not react at all, as if the stabbed finger was not his own.
"How is it? Do you feel pain today?" Ye Wei asked while spraying healing agent on the wound.
Han Tang shook his head gently, "No, no at all."
