Under the brilliant fireworks.

The family stood at the entrance to the gym, and an old man in a grey vest looked east at Zhang Xi, his mouth whispering constantly.

“Where are the people? Why haven't you come yet? ”

Yesterday, when he separated, he made an appointment with Lu, who met him on the high-speed train. He met at the entrance of the gym, and he waited here for a while before seeing anyone...

Or people everywhere.

“Old man, it's time to check the tickets! ”

Liu Peizhong was still reluctant to leave. He glanced at the staff who wanted to help him. Then he looked at his wife and shouted with his voice, "Wait a minute... my friend will be here soon. ”

“Fuck you XXX! You and your half-brother! ”

Finally, he was annoyed by his own mouth. His wife threw down this sentence and walked into the gym herself.

Standing next to the two elderly men, the young man's face was filled with a crying expression. He hurried his daughter-in-law to take his son to catch up with his mother-in-law. Don't let the crowd disperse him, but he came to his father and persuaded his mother-in-law heartily.

“Dad, we can't wait any longer. If we don't leave, we'll be kicked out by the guards here. ”

“That's right, Uncle Liu,” on the other side of the old man, a woman in a stylish white collar dropped her mobile phone and sighed, "Can't we just watch the celebration? What do you have to introduce me to for the New Year... can't you wait to introduce me tomorrow? ”

Even if we were dating, we wouldn't be dating anywhere like this, would we?

If this encounters facial blindness, I'm afraid I don't even know if the person next to me changed it.

“You don't understand! ”

“I don't know what you're talking about. ”

Liu Pei faithfully hesitated and finally sighed and said.

“This one that I introduced you to… is a bit unusual. ”

The woman with the white collar turned a white eye.

“Stupid son of a landlord or little boy of a coal owner? This is Shanghai. How can it be any different? ”

“To pick up his old man and mother's license plate, it's Kyung A...”

“Brother, I don't think it's a good idea to let people pigeon, let's wait! ”

Looking at his cousin, the man standing next to him suddenly looked silly.

Shit, isn't that realistic?

However,

Kyo A…

Man, the wooden spot's down there.

“Well, then, let's... wait together. ”

Since when, fireworks have blossomed in the air.

Although they wanted to wait any longer, the crowd watching the disturbances and the venue staff who came up to maintain order clearly no longer had a place for them to wait.

The crowd began to move, and the other side of the ark entered the venue.

At first, Lu had missed something because he had not met the old friend and his niece, but when he entered the room, he left the matter behind.

Because everything that comes out of sight is too illusory.

The arrow floating in front of you is immersed in a column of smoke, as if it were real.

“This... can I touch it?” I don't know how to describe the illusory light in front of me, Lu opened his mouth, and I don't know who to ask, I can only point to my son.

Looking at his daddy, the Ark laughed.

“Don't worry, it's just a hologram, it won't break. ”

In order to prevent equipment loss due to pedaling, almost the vast majority of holographic projection devices, with the exception of a handful of projection devices used to replenish the full screen, are on the ceiling. Like crystal lamps hanging from the ceiling, holographic images are built from top to bottom throughout the gym.

You don't have to worry about anything, you touch something precious.

Guided by the lights, a walker followed his number to find a seat.

When seated, the Lu State fastened its seat belt at the behest of the staff beside it.

Before the celebration began, he looked around the stadium, looking at the crowd of the mountain people, and the spectacular stadium itself, and said with emotion.

“This bird's nest is pretty... it's a shame I haven't been here before. ”

Fang Mei-bai glanced at him: “What a pity, aren't you here now? ”

“It must be different now than it was in the past… Boat, how long before this celebration begins? ”

Just as Lu Bang Guo had just asked, the ark was preparing to answer, and the lights on the ceiling suddenly darkened. With this dimming light, the otherwise noisy 100,000 people's conference hall suddenly quieted down a few decibels.

The boat lifted its head and looked at the time on the watch, with a smile of anticipation in its eyes.

Looking at Dad, he replied.

“It's already started. ”

……

When the last audience was seated, the noise of the venue was washed away by the sounds of music coming from all directions.

The light from the air gradually diminishes, and the venue gradually blends into the night, almost a darkness that can't reach five fingers apart from a handful of light sources emanating from the mobile phone screen.

In this atmosphere of silence, people gradually stopped making loud noises and changed to whispering. There was a hint of excitement in that voice and a hint of anticipation.

This is a long-awaited celebration.

Finally!

The invisible fog soared in the night and quickly filled the interior of the gym like a thick cloud fog. It's like painting an entire oil painting, and it makes the darkness more viscous and more hands less than five fingers.

This time, even the light from the phone screen was swallowed up in that artificially generated fog.

Only a handful of flashlights were switched on, although they were soon confiscated by staff following the light source. Once the identity information has been registered, the phones are taken to the security room and returned after the celebration.

Darkness did not last long.

Just as people were puzzled by what the festival was really about to say, the starpoint light suddenly appeared next to everyone. That pale red particle, like a firefly dancing in a flower bush or a flame of stars in the plains, dancing in the invisible fog, outlines a small and unnegligible trajectory.

More and more fireflies are dancing, like stars crossing their heads.

By this spectacular and romantic scene, people stopped talking and began to curiously gauge what was happening around them.

A child sitting in the arms of an adult reaches out to his right hand to hold a firefly that doesn't exist.

Couples who snuggle together, pointing excitedly at the light point of the sky, like meteors, took the opportunity to make a wish to spend the rest of their lives together...

Everything in front of you, like a mirage in the fog, is full of fantastic beauty and not real feelings.

At this point, when no one was ready, all of a sudden all the brilliant light particles flew into the air, gathering in a fiery red colour.

The flame is like a torch, emitting energy like a lava burst, illuminating this thick fog wall into a depressed dark red. A ray of light rises like a flame boiling in a trench, like a cannon that breaks through the night sky and soars on a silent and silent earth.

Under the cover of that repressive atmosphere, the children unconsciously stopped crying, the couples stopped your nonsense, the adults held their breath, the old people squeezed their fists, the colour reflected in their pupils, seemed to be evoked memories of the years...

All of a sudden, a fighter pushing a propeller broke through the cloud fog, diving out of the air with a flame sprayed from the muzzle. The screams in the stadium fluctuate, making it impossible to tell whether it was the ambient sound or someone's scream.

As if in the scene of a war film, in the middle of a fierce exchange of fire, people swayed their bodies around to hide, and if they were not tied to seatbelts, most of them would have fallen to the ground.

It was only a moment of opening that was frightening, although the crisis was far from over.

The battlefield turned into 10,000 acres of good land, followed by 10,000 acres of dead yellow.

In the freezing snow, people climbed Everest. On the marshes, on the frozen soil, in the mountains, people move forward irreversibly with sickles and hoes in search of industrial lifelines...

In an era of low productivity, people are the least valuable machines.

But it is precisely this most worthless machine, born on a piece of rubble, that opens up heaven and earth with its own hands.

There's no other reason.

They believe that tomorrow will be better, and they are convinced.

This is the only fuel that supports their movement, except for carbohydrates.

Maybe they don't have any idea of automation, and there was no such novel thing as artificial intelligence in those days. But they still firmly believe that there must be a day in the future when everyone can eat and wear warmth, do decent work unlike them, and realize the value of life on things that are worth more time than wasting their lives on the pipeline...

The best thing is to be able to do a little bit of correction after eating… and this is something that most of them have never experienced before.

Even if they knew, by the time the day truly arrived, most of them would be invisible.

But it's nothing.

They believed that, even if they could not see it, their children would certainly see it for them, telling them about the future in their dreams, without wasting their sacrifices.

Movies of the times flashed in front of people, like walking lanterns.

When the memories of the past come to mind, many old people's eyes are filled with tears. The children sitting next to the adults, although they understood it, could not help but squeeze their fists under the infection of the atmosphere.

Until, a car appeared.

It was taken off a landing ship.

The honking whistle seemed to blow the horn of accession, and the good times finally opened a corner in front of people. The atmosphere of repression finally wandered away in the undulating music, followed by the rise of the skyscrapers.

Oriental Pearl, Bird's Nest, Exposition Hall… and the Xia Guang that conquered the Earth's Moon Track, as well as the Moon Palace floating above the Nine Mixes.

In the final act of the celebration, an astronaut with a red flag came from a dusty moon, just like his fathers, with powerful arms, and put the red flag heavily on the moon.

The screen is switched again.

The red flag is gone.

Instead, the gray wasteland beneath his feet had become a space city that seemed to appear only in science fiction films. Rail trains suspended between high-rise buildings, and that crawling container along the mine, I don't know where to go...

The Ark noticed that the old man sitting next to him quietly lifted his arms and rubbed his lower corner of his eyes with his cuffs.

Instead of speaking, he shifted his gaze silently.

He knew very well that Daddy was a man of honor, and that was just like himself. If my son finds out about his weakness, I'm afraid he won't be able to sleep all night.

“… feel. ”

“Feeling?”

I couldn't think of any words to describe it. Chen Yushan sucked on his nose and said with some choking voice.

“It's spectacular. ”

The ark laughed and gently lowered its head.

“Yeah, it's spectacular. ”

Although he didn't know if the celebration would be considered a success, he wasn't sure if Startech's holographic projection system had struck the first gun...

But the most precious aspect of this celebration is undoubtedly achieved.
