The four hundred and seventeenth chapter: West out of Yangguan without an old friend
Yamamoto reached the end of his life and did not find a girlfriend, nor did he find a so-called robot partner. Perhaps he was a perfectionist suitor, or perhaps he didn't need any partner at all...
Who knows?
There were about a thousand elderly people who left the world in this group. There were many scientists who came to see him off, especially colleagues in the Unreal Laboratory, who silently bid farewell to these pioneers who have made major achievements.
Listening to the conversation between the two, they all showed a sad look.
Several staff members carried these elderly people into devices like hibernation chambers.
Yamamoto lay quietly, put on his helmet, opened his eyes wide, and his old eyes seemed to want to take a last look at the world.
He said, "Let's go."
Zhang Yuan's throat trembled for a moment, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Life in the virtual world will be chosen by oneself. No one can predict and there is nothing to give to what he wants to do and what will happen.
Even the time spent in Kunlun Mountains is just a short period of time in a long cycle. This is the starting point of life, not the end point.
"Do you have any regrets?" the nurse around asked.
"No more." After a long time, Yamamoto replied.
"Please close your eyes."
The warehouse gate slowly closed. After the consciousness was uploaded, all the vegetative remains will be used for biological research, especially human assisted brain research...
Everyone exited the room and left silently.
Zhang Yuan leaned on a crutch and sighed deeply, without crying or laughing, and walked slowly in the corridor. It was like passing by smoke and clouds, a little numb.
A robot nurse is following behind him, always paying attention to his health. After all, if such an elderly man accidentally falls, he might go directly, and the government departments are also very concerned about their physical condition.
His wife Lin Xuanxuan also attended a similar farewell ceremony in the next room. She had just left the room and kept wiping her eyes. She was not like Zhang Yuan. She had experienced this kind of thing many times, but she still couldn't help but cry.
Zhang Yuan stayed silently by his side for a long time before Lin Xuanxuan gradually returned to normal.
"Let's go outside and see the stars!" Zhang Yuan greeted.
"I don't know if I'm leaving first, or you leaving first, or leaving this world together?" Lin Xuanxuan followed behind and whispered.
"In a few years, let's be together then... Living for a long time will always have the benefits of living for a long time. Even if your physical condition is getting worse and worse, you always want to stay here." Zhang Yuan said: "We should leave alone when we come to this world alone. Anyway, we can't really take anything away. Oh, the only thing we can take away is memory, but not drinking Mengpo soup is not necessarily a good thing!"
"You are so cold, aren't you sad at all... If your good friend leaves, you will never see him."
Zhang Yuan said: "Sadness... Sadness is really a good thing. Without such negative feedback, humans would not have learned anything. Without such emotions, humans might have become extinct in the primitive era! But the sadness of such things has no meaning."
The two walked to the observatory and sat down quietly. Their physical condition was no longer allowed to go to the gravity-free area outside.
This observatory is placed on the annular centrifugal chakra, and the entire starry sky rotates with the centrifugal chakra.
The brilliant universe can always soothe the soul. Whether it is a great scientist or a high-level civilization, compared with the great universe, the life and death of an individual, the ebb and flow of an individual seem so small that it can even be ignored.
Even stars will be extinguished, let alone humans?
Lin Xuanxuan suddenly said: "A long time ago, my grandmother said that every star represents a person. If the fall of the meteor means someone has passed away."
"Is that right? But there are no meteors in this place... The stars in the Milky Way may be more numerous than humans. Are there so many stars coming out? A cat or a dog?" Zhang Yuan joked.
Lin Xuanxuan has long been accustomed to Zhang Yuan's thinking, "You are really... But for many people, cats and dogs are also relatives, and they will be sad if they die. People are really fragile creatures. The older they are, the more they are used to staying in a habitual environment. Even if the glass you often use is broken, it will be sad."
"But we all know that any hug in this world will end in letting go."
Zhang Yuan nodded in agreement: "What happened cannot be reversed, and the past cannot be reversed. Compared with the present, the past is an eternal loss. What is the thing you miss the most?"
Lin Xuanxuan pondered for a while and said, "Maybe she said goodbye to her grandma before leaving Earth. Her parents support me very much in the decision to board the Earth Age, but grandma is different. I don't know why, but I can still recall my grandma's tears. Maybe she is very afraid that she won't see me in the future."
"…I was immersed in the excitement of the upcoming space trip at that time. This excitement is greater than the sorrow of separation, and it is difficult to feel the nostalgia of the elderly."
"In the blink of an eye, I became a grandma, I feel so sad...what are you? What impressed you the most?"
Zhang Yuan said again: "It should be after graduation and parting with his classmates. I got up a long time ago, when I just graduated from college, I was the last person in the dormitory."
"I still remember the scenes of them moving away one by one. When Ma Yidong left, I slept on the bed. When he left, he patted my bed and said goodbye. When he walked out the door and saw his empty bed, I felt that we would not have the chance to live together like this. Suddenly, there was no desire to sleep."
"Then it was Li Wu. He was admitted to the postgraduate school in his school and continued to stay in his own school. After I helped him carry the things down, I kept watching him push his bicycle away. But even if he stayed in his school, I knew that he might never meet for a long time in the future like he did a few days ago."
"In the end, it was Zhang Jun. His family was not in good condition and he had already started working before graduation."
"On that day, he came back from outside, packed up and left. I stood at the door and asked him to send him a ride. He said no, so he carried a crossbody bag. He threw the bag, and I quietly watched him leave slowly along the corridor at the door of the dormitory."
"Then he suddenly turned around and returned, hugged me..."
Zhang Yuan said calmly: "This is saying goodbye. Sometimes the period, exclamation mark, or ellipsis must be filled in by yourself."
