32 days

There were already few living people in the city, but after Zhou Yan'an left, the level of silence seemed to rise to a new level.

The little nurse and Liang Fei could still chat about mother and baby issues, but Yi Alan couldn't intervene at all.

"Wait, your name is Liang Fei?" The little nurse realized later, "The person who made a big fuss in the newborn care center of our hospital?"

Liang Fei smiled bitterly in embarrassment.

Only then did the little nurse carefully look at the newborn in the incubator who was not much different from other children: "My God... Could this be the death..."

Liang Fei said sadly: "You should know that I am not crazy."

The little nurse murmured: "I feel like I'm going crazy!"

Yi Alan returned to her room, which is the ward next door, and turned on the computer to see what the community was discussing on the 32nd.

Perhaps because this is the second time to experience the 32nd, and knowing that we can return to the normal world, everyone’s mentality is more optimistic than before, and they can sit down and let their imaginations run wild, and even some optimistic people jokingly call the 32nd a vacation.The posts on the homepage of the community are refreshed steadily, and the discussion is stable.

The most popular post is guessing that this time it will stay in this world of few people for a few days. Most people think that it will be one day like last time, a full 24 hours; but many people think that there will be two days. As an end, after all, today is only the 32st.

Yi Alan clicked into the national exchange area of ​​his country, and the first thing he saw was an advertisement: [Dongling City Power Supply Service].

Yi Alan clicked in out of curiosity. The person who posted the post proved to be an employee of the power plant. In order to save electricity, he claimed to have cut off the city's power supply.If someone wants to continue to use electricity, please return to the real world and transfer 500 yuan to his account, pay once a month, and attach the name of the power supply community. It is best to specify the building, and he will direct the power supply.He said this would allow the small amount of surplus coal to be used for a longer period of time, preventing people from having to move around.

Business genius.

Yi Alan couldn't help laughing, but had to admit that doing so could indeed make money.Assuming that a medium-sized city can have one hundred people on the 32nd, and only half of them are willing to pay sky-high electricity bills for the world, then he can also earn [-] a month.

Will anyone complain about him?What can I complain about?It is said that there is another world where the electricians of your power plant use the public property of your plant to charge blindly?Maybe the power plant thought that he had encountered a psychopath who wanted to blackmail him.

Taking a step back, the power plant really believed this kind of nonsense, so what if the employee was fired?Anyway, in this world, the power plant belongs to that employee.He may be happy to work only one day a month, but his salary can easily be tens of thousands.

At the bottom of the post, some citizens of Dongling City scolded him for being blind to money, but there were also a few people who said that it was very good, that things were rare and expensive, and that the world lacked people, let alone skilled electricians, and the charges were reasonable.Some citizens in the city next door to Dongling also hope that he can develop the power supply business in their city, anyway, it will take only a few hours to drive back and forth.

Yi Alan realized that when the 32nd was linked to the real world, real interests began to gain the upper hand.

Sure enough, soon another person who seemed to be inspired by electricians also started a business, not limited to regions, and delivered goods nationwide.

He sells white/powder by the pound.

[Brothers, sisters, uncles and aunts, when I appeared on the 32nd, I just followed the boss to take over the goods from country M, which weighed a few hundred catties!In the end, before I blinked, everyone disappeared, which made me think that the anti-narcotics police invented a super new weapon and suddenly wiped them all out.Now I have hundreds of catties of goods on hand, and I sold them by coincidence. It costs 1000 yuan per catty. I support self-pickup, and I can also deliver them to my door. You must know that in the normal world, you can’t even buy a gram for 1000 yuan.

I know that people's faces change when they hear about drugs. Hey, that's human nature. If I hadn't been forced to do so, I wouldn't be in this business.But it’s not a special situation right now. If we smoke a little on the 32nd, it won’t affect the normal world at all. In that world, we should go to work, and the body can’t become addicted!Don't you want to try the feeling of ecstasy?There is no harm to normal life at all!Even if you have an addiction in 32 years, 1000 yuan a catty of things, wouldn't it cost a lot to eat all you can? 】

The posts are all ridiculing him and persuading him to turn around.But this person left his contact information, no one knows if anyone will contact him privately.

Yi Alan was terrified when she saw it. These are still trivial matters. With the periodic repetition of the 32nd once a month, will there be more unpredictable and unending disasters?

Yi Alan always feels that she cannot be optimistic.

He looked at the watch Zhou Yanan had left behind. It was nine o'clock in the evening on the 32nd, but it was already past eleven o'clock.It's time to go to bed, but it's not sure whether he will return to the normal world after 32 o'clock on the 24nd today, or continue to stay here. It is impossible for him to fall asleep.Presumably at this moment, people all over the world are waiting for that moment together.

A dialog box suddenly popped up on his computer screen, and Joker sent him a private chat.

Yi Alan was very speechless. On the 32nd, the community did not set up a private chat function, but Joker reserved privileges for himself.

Joker: After a busy day, I can finally chat with you.I think you guessed my identity.

A: What?

Joker: Don't be afraid, even if you really didn't guess it, I will tell you.

Yi Alan doesn't think it's a good thing to know too many secrets, but Joker has already said it to himself.

Joker: I'm an engineer related to quantum computers. I won't tell you what to study specifically, and it might hurt you.

A: You did not hide your global blocking behavior. If someone reports this matter, more professional people will quickly find out your identity based on clues.

Joker: I did it on purpose, it's a little test.

A: Quiz?

Joker: Yes, quiz.They know that the person who can do this is not simple, and they will draw a specific range of personnel, but even so, they still can't find out who did it, and they can't find out where the blocked command came from.

Yi Alan didn't reply for a long time.

Perhaps Joker sensed Yi Alan's fear, and said: Don't worry, I am absolutely neutral.

A: Neutral?Which side and which side's middle ground?

Joker: Normal world and 32 days.

Joker: To be precise, in the normal world, I resolutely protect the interests of the group I belong to. On the 32nd, I enjoy the 32nd very much. I will protect the world and the people in this world, even if I know all the information about you , and I won't disclose it to anyone.

Joker: I checked your login address (don't regret not using the proxy IP, you know, that little trick is completely useless in front of me), and then searched for active mobile phone signals in the nearby area.There is a mobile phone that is really boring, there is no entertainment software, this person might as well use an obsolete old-fashioned phone, anyway, I think that person is gone; I confirmed your mobile phone, I saw you made an appointment Psychiatrist, I have browsed homosexual websites, you only have mothers and no fathers in your contacts...

Yi Alan felt the hairs on his back stand on end.Even though he knows well that in today's information age, personal privacy is not guaranteed, but he still feels sad that he has nowhere to hide after being told one by one.

A: You already know so much, how can you divide the normal world from the 32nd?

Joker: Of course I can.Because there are actually two mes in the normal world.As early as a long time ago, I loved the Internet, I loved computers, and I loved the network world combined by the two.But you know, some people are so good that they often can't help themselves. If I want to study quantum computers, it is impossible to avoid organizations and governments. I have to work for them.I even have to use the great quantum computer to do things that hurt people along the internet.But it annoys me, even disgusts me.

Joker: When I noticed my negative emotions, in order not to let it affect my work, I used a quantum computer to make a smart applet, a virtual villain, and I fed him the information I knew, and let him Instead of me making decisions about the world, instead of me dealing with annoying superiors and colleagues (hahaha, the colleagues I communicate with through the Internet don’t know that the answers to them are actually group data), when I don’t know whether a project is worth it or not As I proceed, I will also ask him, and he will tell me what to do from a purely rational point of view.I'll just bury my head in the research and it'll take a lot of guilt out of me.Little A, I like you very much, because my quantum villain is also called A.

Yi Alan understands that in poker, A is the second only to the trump card in a single card. If it is anthropomorphic, A is probably the first right-hand man of the trump card.

Joker: In the normal world, A doesn't know the 32nd yet, only I know, but I won't tell him, never. The existence of A is for the strength of the country, and my existence, my person, this soul, just want to build an Internet utopia that is absolutely neutral and isolated from the world.In your words, it is the Taohuayuan of the Internet.It will hide in an unknown corner of the network, and it cannot be scanned by any device, and it cannot be tracked by any top hacker.Internet residents living in Utopia can socialize and live online with peace of mind. They can even cut off from real life. They don’t have to go to work. They only need to keep a small and innocuous connection channel with the outside world, because Utopia will use the redundant computing resources on the Internet They continue to mine Bitcoin and other valuable virtual currencies for their daily use.In the online world, a resident can choose to create art, or clean the virtual city streets—as long as he loves to do it, there is no difference between the two, and I will issue them virtual currency of equal value.This may be another form of communism that your country is pursuing.

Joker: It is a wonderful world, everyone lives in their own avatar, no nationality, no skin color, no gender, little A.This means there is no discrimination whatsoever.I can't build such a beautiful world yet, but within 32 days, I will break through all the current quantum computer plans, learn from the strengths and weaknesses of the research results that are cherished by various countries, and make them for my use.After I understand them thoroughly, I may be able to use their power to construct my Internet world without anyone noticing in the normal world.And those who live within 32 days will have the opportunity to become the first residents of Utopia.

Joker: This is just the beginning of an internet utopia.With the advancement of science and technology, ten or 20 years later, virtual technology will advance by leaps and bounds, and people will live more freely and happily online; even one day in the future, people will be able to give up their bodies and upload their spirits to the Internet.

A: Your idea is too idealistic.The Internet is still fake after all, it serves reality, not escapes reality.It is impossible for the Internet to become a truly independent and free kingdom apart from reality.

Joker: Little A, after experiencing the absurd 32 days, do you still think reality is reliable?Still firmly believe that there is an insurmountable gap between virtual and reality?Are you sure you know, what exactly is reality?What is virtual?

Joker: Why do you think the Internet is more fake than reality.
