Darkness is Coming

   There are willows hanging on the embankment, and the water is on all sides. In the center, there is a pavilion and a boat in the water. The sardine birds are idle, the curved room is deep, the rattan flower is on the side, and the water is purple.

   This is the description of Diaoyutai in the Ming Dynasty literati Liu Liutong's "Scenery of the Imperial Capital". This building complex, which was built in the Jin Dynasty, has now become an important place to display the Chinese culture of the past dynasties. It is the first choice for state leaders to conduct foreign affairs activities.

   Chairman Wen chose the Diaoyutai State Guest House as the meeting place. What does it mean?

This question made Yang Xiaoqian ponder for a long time along the way, but the staff of the 19th Bureau took him around the famous buildings such as Yangyuanzhai, Tongle Palace, Qinglutang, Chengyi Pavilion, Wanghai Building, etc., and finally walked into a building. In the humble building, Yang Xiaoqian realized that he had thought too much before.

The leader's black suit, apart from his skin tone and hair color, resembles Schwarzenegger, who starred in the Terminator, and brought Yang Xiaoqian into this modest-looking bungalow with a hard face and said: "Wen The chairman is receiving foreign guests, President Yang, please wait a moment."

   Well, it turns out that the location of Diaoyutai has no special meaning, just because Chairman Wen is meeting foreign guests at Diaoyutai tonight. Yang Xiaoqian felt a little lost in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged, and he looked at the arrangement of the small bungalow.

Different from the rustic appearance that affects the round landscape, the interior of the building is very fashionable, with a near-future sci-fi feeling in the movie and TV drama. The huge LCD screen is embedded in the main wall, occupying most of the main wall area, surrounded by embedded Stereo, light and shadow projectors, and all kinds of game equipment that Yang Xiaoqian has never seen before.

   Yes, gaming equipment. This large room is filled with all kinds of game equipment, chess and card props, only Yang Xiaoqian can't think of it, and there is nothing that can't be found here.

   "What is this place?" Yang Xiaoqian turned his head and asked, holding back his strange expression.

   "Schwarzenegger" twitched his thick eyebrows, and squeezed three words out of his teeth: "Game room."

   "Oh, okay." Yang Xiaoqian shook his head and smiled bitterly, speechless. Leaders are also human, and they also need relaxation and entertainment, but it is hard to imagine that Chairman Wen and the others will play these. I think this is a game room for some special foreign guests.

   Maybe Chairman Wen thinks I'm a young man and likes to play games, so let me wait here? Yang Xiaoqian thought so in his heart, looked down at the Zhongshan suit on his body, and felt inexplicably ironic.

  Since the meeting place was chosen in the game room, the content of the conversation should not be too serious. Thinking of this, Yang Xiaoqian relaxed and simply sat down on an ergonomically designed chair and started looking for the remote control. He played very little games, and it was less than half an hour before the meeting at eight o'clock, so he might as well watch TV.

Yang Xiaoqian searched for a while, but did not find the remote control, but found a control panel next to the chair. After turning it on, he found that the tablet could remotely operate all electronic instruments in the room. This technology is rarely used in the civilian field. Sense of novelty.

   After turning on the TV, Yang Xiaoqian didn't do anything else, and a movie started to show on the screen automatically.

  The background of the film is very daily, the sun is shining, the spring is strong, the children in the compound are playing and playing carefree, and the streets are full of traffic.

   One of the cars parked next to a building, and four people, two police officers and two officers in military uniforms, got out of the car, and they knocked on the door of the family.

  The head of the household opened the door and frowned when he saw the plainclothes policeman wearing a leather jacket with a cigarette in his mouth.

The plainclothes policeman raised his chin rudely and asked, "Wang Miao?" After asking, he lit a cigarette and ran into the house.

  The head of the household reached out and stopped him: "Please don't smoke in my house."

   "Oh, I'm sorry, Professor Wang. This is our captain Shi Qiang." A young police officer next to him smiled and winked at the middle-aged plainclothes policeman while speaking.

  This is... The content on the screen made Yang Xiaoqian's heart beat faster, and he suddenly raised his spirits.

If I remember correctly, this scene is the beginning of the famous science fiction novel "The Three-Body Problem". When "The Three-Body Problem" started serialization in the sci-fi world in 2006, Yang Xiaoqian, a second-year junior, was so infatuated with it that he forgot to eat and sleep. Have to read it dozens of times.

"The Three-Body Problem" is a great milestone in Chinese science fiction. The story tells the story of the Three-Body Problem, which is four light-years away, abandoning its unlivable homeland, preparing to invade the earth, and using sophons to lock the basic science of human beings on Earth, bringing the earth to life. The end of mankind. On the other hand, the human beings on Earth tried their best to break free from the shackles and organize a counterattack. In the end, the two civilizations disappeared in the dark forest of the universe.

   The movie on the screen continues to be shown, and the follow-up plot is exactly the same as the original. It really is the movie version of "Three-Body Problem".

   As time goes on, the plot progresses to the point where Professor Wang enters the combat center and has a dialogue with a general in charge of command.

General    said, "Professor Wang, you must have many questions to ask."

  Wang Miao replied: "What does what you said just now have anything to do with the military?"

General    nodded: "Of course war has something to do with the military."

  Wang Miao frowned and asked, "Where is the war? There is no hot spot in the world right now. It should be the most peaceful era in history."

The general smiled and asked: "You will know everything soon, everyone will know. Professor Wang, did you have a major change in your life? This change suddenly and completely changed your life. For you, the world is changing. It became completely different overnight."

  Wang Miao shook his head and replied, "No."

General    nodded again and said, "Then your life is an accident. There are so many unpredictable factors in the world, but nothing changes in your life."

  Wang Miao grinned, but did not smile, and said, "Most people are like this."

   "The lives of most people are accidental." The general was still in his unsalty tone.

  Wang Miao was stunned for a while, and said, "But... how many generations have come here so plainly."

   "It's all accidental." The general said firmly.

  Wang Miao opened his mouth wide: "I have to admit that my comprehension is too poor today, don't you mean..."

General    raised the corners of his mouth, his smile seemed unfathomable, but also helpless and bitter, he looked at Wang Miao and spoke slowly.

   At this time, the camera was adjusted to the opposite side of the general. From the audience's point of view, the general's deep and boundless eyes seemed to be falling on him.

   "Yes, the entire human history is also accidental. From the Stone Age to today, there have been no major changes. I am lucky. But since it is lucky, there will always be an end; now I tell you, it is over, prepare your mind."

   The door opened, someone pressed pause, and the screen stopped. Yang Xiaoqian stood up and turned around, and saw a figure who often appeared in news broadcasts walking into the door.

   Chairman Wen is here.
