Chapter 459 Technology Changes Life
Unseen places are undercurrents, and keen people have already noticed the big things brewing.
But on the surface, most people's daily lives are still normal.
Ordinary and lively.
After all, it's almost the New Year!
During the New Year, everything is thrown aside, and even fewer people pay attention to entertainment gossip. The hot topics on the Internet every day, from year-end bonuses to Spring Festival travel holidays, from Laba porridge to New Year's Eve dinner, are constantly changing.
Before the New Year, Feng Yi went to Xiaofeng Mountain.
At the same time and place, the sun was shining brightly and warm as summer at this time last year, but this year it was cool and breezy.
Recently, Yangcheng has cooled down, and it has been cloudy for several days in a row. The foodie snakes raised on Xiaofeng Mountain have also disappeared. I don't know where they hid to avoid the cold.
It's still the old house. The Feng Family Ancestral Hall in Yangcheng has been moved, but it seems to be no different, and it may even be more lively.
Although there are no other guests here at this time today, judging from the residual smell information, there are usually many visitors.
Some come frequently, while others only appear once.
Because of the appointment in advance, Uncle Ya stayed at home. When Feng Yi arrived, he was fighting with others online with his mobile phone.
Feng Yi did not disturb him. He put down the snacks made by Xiao Bing for the elderly and walked around the house.
There was no big change. It was almost the same as the last time Feng Yi came. It was also very clean.
His footsteps stopped at the door of a secret room. This time Feng Yi did not go in, but just stood outside and felt for a while.
He did not sense anything.
There are too many secrets hidden in the things inside, and it is not easy to dig.
Behind Feng Yi, Uncle Ya, who had just finished a game, looked at him with a vigilant look of "I suspect you will dig up the ancestral graves."
It was like looking at a naughty child who might do "evil deeds" at any time.
Feng Yi turned around and smiled and said, "You worry too much."
He would not dig out the things underneath.
He had a hunch that even if someone came here to dig, they might not be able to dig it up.
That was "old technology". Feng Yi himself had not figured it out yet, so he would not dig it at this stage!
"Well, are you done? Let's spend the New Year together this year?" Feng Yi asked.
Uncle Ya firmly refused: [I have an appointment! ]
Feng Yi was not surprised by this reply.
Uncle Ya has a full schedule every day.
Now we don't need the voice assistance of mobile phones to play cards, and we don't have people to help shout cards next to us. We just put out smart voice broadcast mahjong!
Real technology changes life!
It is said that an anonymous person donated more than ten sets of fully automatic mahjong tables and smart mahjong with voice broadcast to the nursing home at the foot of the mountain. In addition to shuffling cards, the cards can also be played and automatically reported!
Those elderly people in the nursing home who are not smooth, have unclear speech, have speech disorders or have low voices, especially like these things.
Of course, the premise is that no one uses this high-tech thing to cheat.
Before, someone did want to do something, and then... and then someone did something (physics).
Since then, the atmosphere of playing cards has been much better.
Feng Yi came here today just to take a look.
Take a look at the ancestral home, take a look at Uncle Ya, and ask Uncle Ya about his plans for the New Year.
After taking a look and asking, he was stuffed with tea and mountain fruits, and then driven down the mountain.
After returning home, Feng Yi began to pack up his things. He had to go to the island before the New Year.
"The New Year is coming soon, take Xiao Xin to Yangcheng and celebrate the New Year together."
This time the housekeeper did not follow, Feng Yi just went there to pick up someone and check the progress of the decoration.
Compared with the recent winter in Yangcheng, the island near the equator is still the same.
Compared with the last time, the progress of the decoration on the island has made a big leap. The communication station, solar power generation system, security facilities, fresh water system... have all been fully upgraded.
Several houses have been formed, and the one where the owner lives has begun to do detailed decoration.
A painting more than one meter wide made of sand, shells, etc. is also placed here.
Looking at the whole island, a wilder style than the previous version is gradually revealed.
Feng Yi is very satisfied. This is a good holiday place. If there is no satellite above the head, it will be more comfortable here.
The marine iguanas on the reef beach have grown a circle bigger.
Or maybe they just expanded a circle and became more round.
Their growth trend seems to be heading in an outrageous direction and starting to call wildly.
In general, they are living well.
Too well.
Not long after Feng Yi came to the island, a guest arrived here.
Santos, the leader of the special dispatch team in the area of the joint security bureau of the region to which the island belongs, learned that Feng Yi flew to the island and came here specially.
At that time, he personally agreed to leave these marine iguanas on the island. Santos has been paying attention to it. This time he came to talk to Feng Yi about the situation of the marine iguanas.
Since these marine iguanas settled here, Santos was surprised at the strong adaptability of these little guys.
When Feng Yi was not on the island, Xiao Xin was the person in charge here. From the last meeting to now, Santos's people have not had a pleasant communication with Xiao Xin. It was not a verbal conflict.
Santos looked at Xiao Xin standing behind Feng Yi.
This island guard has a rejection of language communication and is still not very enthusiastic at the level of text information. Apart from matters related to marine iguanas, don't even think about getting more information from him.
Returning his attention to Feng Yi, Santos said:
"I came here today just to see how they are growing. They live really comfortably here. What a lovely group of animals."
After Santos took photos of the marine iguanas, he walked from the reef beach to where Feng Yi was.
Those marine iguanas are still very afraid of Feng Yi and will jump into the sea whenever Feng Yi comes near. Jump decisively and move quickly.
Every time he saw this situation, Santos would wonder: Did Feng Yi really pickle the snake smell and make these marine iguanas so afraid?
Out of respect for the experts of the Federal Security Bureau, Santos did not insist on this matter.
Looking around, he said to Feng Yi: "This island is very interesting. If you want to change hands one day, please contact me first!"
"Okay." Feng Yi said.
Anyway, he has no intention of selling in the short term, so he only responded verbally.
When the day came to change hands, Santos didn't even know if he was still there.
However, in Feng Yi's opinion, although Santos has some interest in this island and did pay attention to the marine iguanas when he came here today, it was only for superficial purposes.
Quietly waiting for the other person's next words.
"The night sky here must be beautiful!" Santos sighed.
It means something.
"Maybe, more often than not, when I'm here at night, all I see are the clouds in the night sky, not the stars." Feng Yi said.
Create clouds where there are no clouds.
"Maybe one day when the weather is nice, we can see a more beautiful starry sky here."
Santos smiled and said a few words about the investigation of the smuggling case some time ago. Briefly talk about what can be said, and say nothing about what cannot be said.
"Recently and in the coming period, maritime patrols will be stricter. Oh, a little reminder. If you want to travel by ship, check the information in advance. There will be joint maritime military exercises involving multiple countries."
"Thanks, if I had relevant plans, I would avoid those sea areas." Feng Yi said.
Are the joint military exercises at this time purely military exercises, or preparations for something?
Santos raised his index finger: "I have a small question that I would like to ask these strange... less mainstream experts."
"What's the problem?"
Feng Yi didn't worry about the unfinished word in Santos's words, and just responded with a polite smile.
There was no trace of embarrassment about the slip of the tongue on Santos' face, and he continued: "I saw a Chinese program from a Chinese colleague, "Survivor"? Is that the name?"
Feng Yi: "Yeah, yes."
Santos: "You must have experienced a cold wave there at that time, with the lowest temperature being minus 40 degrees Celsius?"
Feng Yi: "Fifty degrees below zero."
Santos: "Oh, it's even colder. Do you think people in tropical areas can withstand extreme low temperatures?"
Feng Yi said nothing and looked at him quietly.
Extreme cold temperatures in the tropics?
What are you alluding to?
Connotation weather weapons?
How brave!
In such a sensitive period, on such a sensitive topic, you just told me to forget it, and why are you dragging me along? Our friendship is far from enough to tell the truth!
Santos: "Just a hypothesis."
Feng Yi's expression remained unchanged: "It's a very good hypothesis. I can write it in the report. It was proposed by Santos, the leader of the special investigation team of a certain region..."
Santos: "Forget it, let's talk about cute animals!"
Feng Yi said: "Cute animals are indeed worth talking about, but before that, I also have a question to ask."
"You asked."
"I know there are many opinions within the UNEP. So, Santos, what do you think of other wild animals in nature?" Feng Yi asked.
The diversity of ideas within the Bureau is not a secret, and some opinions are semi-public.
Santos did not hide this question: "Animals? They are important data to me, closely related to the sixth database, and may even affect the future direction of all mankind. Whoever destroys these data, I will send him to...prison" !”
"I thought you were the type who prefers animals." Feng Yi said.
"Ha! On the contrary, I am actually partial to humans. However, there are three classes of people here, good people, humans, and beasts. If a natural disaster strikes, I will try my best to protect the first class and treat the second class as appropriate."
There is no more behind.
Feng Yi asked: "What about the third kind?"
Santos: "Oh, God bless them."
Translated: Send them to God!
Feng Yi was silent.
As the leader of a special task force in a large district, Santos said this inappropriately, but in Santos' view, he said it very tactfully.
He is a passionate and casual person, and he also has a hateful side. Behind these, there may be another unknown side, or many sides.
Santos has experienced periods of abnormal weather conditions and has seen social unrest with his own eyes.
The human nature of people who have experienced abnormal climate periods is very complex.
Santos is not trying to dissect his own complexities. There wasn't much time for small talk and he quickly left.
Before leaving, Santos asked Feng Yi: "I see your plane is still parked there at the airport. Are you going back later?"
Feng Yi: "No, the weather is nice today. I want to take a look at the starry sky on the island."
Santos: "Wise decision, I wish you can see what you want to see. Even if you can't see it today, it doesn't matter. If you have a plane on your island, check the weather forecast. You can fly over to see it whenever you want. The problem is always It will be solved. Technology changes lives.”
Feng Yi also smiled and said: "Well, technology changes life."
Santos boarded the plane and returned, and there was still a lot of work waiting for him.
Sitting down, Santos opened an electronic document and marked a few symbols behind Feng Yi's name.
There was another person sitting opposite him, a colleague of Santos, who also held an important position in the Joint Security Bureau of the region. This person had never gotten off the plane before, but was just waiting here.
Seeing the symbol marked by Santos, he was slightly surprised: "Feng Yi is actually a firm supporter?"
Santos replied: "I am not sure whether it is firm, but I definitely support it."
"I am so surprised. A young man of his age who has not experienced the abnormal climate period actually has such a clear choice? It is completely different from the two people you asked yesterday who were hesitant and vague."
"Yes, I am surprised too. Before this, when I watched the variety show "Survivor", I suspected that he was only promoting it as an investor because of the tasks given by the superiors and his own interests. But today I found that this kid has different ideas from others!"
"Do you think he will appear at the first exercise site?"
"Obviously, yes! He has ideas and abilities."
"Yes, what about the shareholders of the Ancestor Factory."
On the island, Feng Yi watched Santos' plane take off and retracted his gaze.
As the invitation cards of the Butterfly Project were distributed to the invitees, more preparations were carried out, and more and more people knew about the Butterfly Project.
Compared to the overall situation, only a very small number of people know this information, and Santos's position in the local Joint Security Bureau also belongs to the "very small number".
Feng Yi and Santos both know that the other party knows the Butterfly Project, but neither of them will say it clearly.
This can also be regarded as a consensus.
Keep it confidential on the surface.
It was just a brief exchange that both sides knew.
Stop and look far away, looking at the sky where the sea meets.
I heard that during this period, many high-ranking personnel in the Joint Security Bureau have been collecting information and collecting the attitudes of experts of all ages in the organization towards the Butterfly Project.
Santos should have made a record today, right?
Wait!
Will Santos, who is not very rule-abiding, write me into the report?
Feng Yi thought of the report he had just threatened Santos with, and sent a message to Santos using the island's communication station.
Write me better when writing the report!
Otherwise, you will appear in my report too!
As time passed, the sun set, the weather was just right, and the scenery was beautiful. But Feng Yi was not interested.
Continue to wait, the light dims, and night falls.
Today, he saw a light spot in the night sky that looks like a star, but moves. That is the light reflected by the artificial satellite.
Compared with 20 years ago, a larger and more complex satellite network is deployed outside the planet.
Feng Yi looked at the "starlight" in the night sky.
From the time he encountered the "old technology" to now, he has been so cautious, and it turned out to be right!
Well, I have looked up at the starry sky, so I might as well cover it. Clouds are coming!
