Technological Hegemony

Shanghai, Songjiang University City.

Late at night, in No. 406 dormitory of Tunghai University, on the bed near the window, Luo Jia rubbed her hair with her hands and let out a soft sigh.

Roommate Jiang Lei was snoring evenly, and he reached out to take out his cell phone from under the pillow, and the time was displayed as 4:06.

Two hours before dawn, Luo Jia woke up.

Get out of bed along the ladder, sit on the chair and put on your shoes, then tiptoe out of the dormitory, closing the door gently.

In the playground, with the help of dim street lights, Luo Jia walked alone along the plastic track.

He was a little hungry, but the cafeteria was not open at this time, so he could only endure it.

Tick ​​tock~

The ticking in his ears irritated him, like an old radio broadcasting Moore code.

Luo Jia heard this voice two weeks ago. He asked the school doctor for help, and the school doctor gave him a few pills of melatonin to enhance sleep.

Later, he couldn't stand the noise, so he went to the No. 1 Hudu Ear, Nose and Throat Hospital in the country, and spent 40 yuan to sign up for an expert account.

After some tests, the expert said to Luo Jia, "Your ears are all normal. Could it be a mental problem? I suggest you go to a psychiatrist."

"I'll transfer to your sister's psychiatry department!" Luo Jia was so angry that he was so angry.

In short, there is something wrong with Luo Jia's ears, a big problem.

Twenty-four hours a day, I can always hear the sound of ticking, and only when I am extremely sleepy can I barely fall asleep.

When he was absent-minded in class, his roommate Gao Feng asked Luo Jia to help him bring Roujiamo, but Luo Jia brought back two sets of pancakes and fruits.

Since ancient times, blessings have been unparalleled, and misfortunes never come singly.

Last night, my mother called and said that due to the increasingly stringent environmental protection inspections in the past two years, the small factory that made decorative beads at home was fined by the Environmental Protection Bureau in succession, ordered to stop production for rectification, and the bank took loans, and finally went bankrupt.

After paying the factory rent, supplier payment, and worker severance pay, I still owe relatives and friends more than 800,000 yuan. Only by selling the only house in my family can I solve the problem.

The mother said that when Luo Jia returned home during the summer vacation, the family might have to rent a house.

Luo Jia wanted to help, but he himself was only a freshman, so there was nothing he could do. He could only comfort his mother on the phone.

"It's okay, mom, if you rent a house, you can rent a house. As long as our family is doing well, it's better than anything else." Luo Jia said optimistically on the phone, but she didn't like it in her heart.

The more I thought about it, the more melancholy I felt. Luo Jia took out a crumpled cigarette from his pocket and lit it.

He didn't smoke originally, but before leaving the dormitory, he took one from Jiang Lei's cigarette case and took Jiang Lei's lighter along the way.

cough~

cough~

As soon as he pretended to take two puffs, Luo Jia was choked by the pungent tobacco smell, coughed violently, bent down, felt as if he was going to cough up all his internal organs, and his mind went blank.

suddenly~

The excessive coughing seemed to activate some kind of stress response in the body, and Luo Jia's brain began to hallucinate.

The hall with a golden dome, with exaggerated and sharp lines, keeps flashing colorful lights.

In the distance, huge buildings like Tongtian Tower rise and fall one after another like the sea. Everything shows that this is a high-tech world.

Huge cities and planets are big enough to accommodate tens of billions of people, but in this world, it is unusually quiet, and there is no sign of people as far as the eye can see.

The residents didn't know where they all went, only the sacred and majestic golden dome like the church was still running.

It sends radio waves into the deep galaxy, and the radio waves cross the eternal night starry sky and go to the distant and unknown shore.

The ticking sound in his ears suddenly turned into a stream of data, flooding into Luo Jia's brain like a tide, causing him a splitting headache, and he fell down on the plastic track in pain, his whole body twitching.

Cybernetics, reverse engineering, astrogeology, electromagnetic physics, graviton physics,

Magnetic fluid physics, nanomechanics, mother star engineering, starship engineering, space transition science, space acceleration science, space folding science...

All these profound and complicated knowledge are entering Luo Jia's brain along with the magical electric waves.

 …

"Hey, classmate, are you okay?"

"Why did you fall asleep on the runway?"

After an unknown amount of time, Luo Jia opened his eyes in a daze, and found that the east had turned pale, and the sky was about to dawn.

Two girls who got up early and ran in the morning found Luo Jia sleeping on the side of the road, so they shook his body vigorously to wake him up from his dream.

"I'm fine. There was a buddy in the dormitory who snored too loudly and couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. I went out for a walk, but I was really sleepy. I rested on the side of the road for a while, and unexpectedly fell asleep." Luo Jia lied casually.

The two girls ran away laughing. They looked back at Luo Jia and discussed in low voices.

"The boys' dormitory is terrible."

"Yes, yes, what kind of thrilling snoring can drive this junior to sleep on the playground?"

Luo Jia was about to go back to the dormitory, but he found that he was really hungry, so he turned another corner and went to the school cafeteria.

Fortunately, I brought my meal card with me when I went out. Unfortunately, it was too early. Although the cafeteria was open, Luo Jia's favorite Roujiamo hadn't been served yet.

So he bought two tea eggs, a bowl of eight-treasure porridge, and two meat buns, and sat in the corner while eating and thinking.

He took out his phone to check the time, it was five forty-nine, that is to say, he was on the playground and fell asleep for about an hour and twenty minutes.

For more than an hour, Luo Jia's brain was loaded with a lot of wonderful knowledge.

The ticking sound is still there, but I no longer feel irritable, because Luo Jia has understood that it is not noise, but a signal of some kind of data transmission.

The data turned into folders in Luo Jia's head. As long as you click on the folders with your consciousness, the corresponding knowledge will be stored in your brain, which feels a bit like the working logic of a hard disk.

It's just that the current knowledge is still relatively rudimentary, and what makes Luo Jia more excited is the rudimentary artificial intelligence.

Of course, even the primary knowledge of extraterrestrial civilizations is many times higher than the current artificial intelligence on Earth.

Peel off the tea egg and bite off half of it.

Luo Jia analyzed, "The civilization in that illusion may really exist. After all, these messy things in my head can't be conjured out of thin air."

"It's a pity that for some unknown reason, all the humans who created that civilization have disappeared. The huge golden dome is preset to transmit the knowledge of civilization to the universe. Maybe it is hoped that our civilization can be continued."

"Then for some unknown reason, I received a signal when I was on Earth..."

The two tea eggs were quickly wiped out, leaving a pile of brown egg shells on the plate.

Luo Jia took a sip of the eight-treasure porridge, and began to chew on the steamed buns again. The freshly baked steamed stuffed buns were a little hot, so he bit a hole and blew air into them.

"Knowledge is a good thing." Luo Jia thought, "Nowadays, knowledge is wealth. Edison never invented the electric light, but he developed carbonized bamboo filament as a filament, and since then he has embarked on the road to wealth. His company has evolved several times. It became the current General Electric, which ranks among the top 500 companies in the world."

"As for me today, I have received an inheritance from an alien civilization. Can I also use this knowledge to create a Fortune 500 company? At the very least, it would be nice to be able to keep my family's house, so that my parents will not have to suffer for a lifetime and grow old. Still have no place to live.”

After the meal was over while thinking, Luo Jia suddenly realized that he was so calm.

As an ordinary first-year student, he suddenly received a civilization inheritance that could shock the world, so he didn't panic at all.

Stand up, pat your butt, and immediately start thinking about how to realize knowledge, isn't it normal?

Crazy, frightened, is a normal person's reaction?

"Could it be that knowledge not only supplements the memory area of ​​my brain, but also makes me calmer?" Luo Jia wondered.

PS: The new book sets sail, from now on, knowledge creates wealth.

Jiu'er thanks the new and old book friends for their support, and asks everyone to give a recommendation ticket.
