Chapter 76 2/2

【Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, I can’t say anything else other than ‘oh my god.’ I just want to say that the plot of time and space is really top-notch!】

【I just want to know one thing. Do we really have robotic dogs in our country now? Is the WarFast Bureau always fooling us? Do we really have war dogs?

【The time setting is fifty years later. I really hope that fifty years from now, we can reach that level of technology! Holographic games! Robot butlers! I can’t wait!】

Most of these comments were from young people. Elderly people mostly didn’t participate in online forums; they expressed their likes by talking to family and friends in real life.

After scrolling through the comments, the colleague finished. As expected, she didn’t find many comments from older people.

Her name was He Ai, quite a rare surname, but her daily life was very ordinary. As a cinema staff member, they could watch movies for free.

However, despite the popularity of “Interstellar War,” she hadn’t gone to see it even once.

At first, it was because she wasn’t interested in sci-fi movies. Later, she saw many elderly people going to watch the movie. Most of them even wanted to watch it again after seeing it. This made her have a bold idea.

She had a good relationship with her grandmother. She still remembered when her grandmother carried her on rural paths when she was little. In her small eyes, her grandmother, who could make grasshoppers from grass and always bring back her favorite foods, was like a magical figure.

So, when she found out that older people also liked this movie very much, Ai wanted to watch it with her grandmother.

Her grandmother was a bit surprised by the invitation, but she had been paying attention to the news of flood relief efforts and liked Shengquan, the young and charitable entrepreneur. Therefore, she didn’t flatly refuse but hesitated.

“Can I watch this kind of movie?”

She only remembered watching movies shown in the village a long time ago, with black-and-white images and no subtitles. However, her grandmother, who watched those movies, liked them a lot and took them seriously.

But that was when she was young. Now she was old.

“You can. Your heart is fine, and your eyes and ears are good.”

He tried to persuade her grandmother, saying, “I thought interstellar movies wouldn’t be popular among older people, but many of them love them.”

“And even Auntie Si, who always comes to chat with you, has watched it too.”

Grandma, he became even more hesitant. In the end, she nodded and agreed to go and watch it.

Mainly because Auntie Si had watched it.

If she didn’t watch, she felt like she was falling behind.

“Then, let’s watch it. If it’s not good, I’ll take a nap. Consider it supporting that young girl, Shengquan.”

But in the end, she didn’t take a nap.

As the movie began, the gorgeous and realistic special effects captured the attention of the entire audience.

Exploding planets, both shocking and magnificent, due to the IMAX screen, even gave them a sense of participation, as if meteorites were coming towards them.

At first, Grandma couldn’t help but dodge the “meteorites.”

As the movie progressed, her expression became more focused, and her eyes became brighter.

“Do you know why I came? Because there are very few people in the future with pure Blue Star Chinese bloodlines. They like to mix strange blood or install mechanical hearts, turning themselves into something other than humans.”

“Pure humans like me are always considered weak, but unexpectedly, in the end, those who save the world are us weak, pure humans.”

“I verify your identity. Although you are a citizen three thousand years later, Huaxia will still protect you.”

“I protect you, just like you protect Blue Star.”

“But at this point in time, your technology doesn’t meet the requirements. You can’t breathe in space, don’t have mechanical hearts, and are even prone to death. I really can’t imagine what you can do.”

“We can give everything.”

When Grandma He saw the reconciliation between Guoli and these “weak” humans and heard the line, “I thought this would be a backward era, but I forgot that our era evolved from this very moment,” He Ai couldn’t describe the feelings in her heart at that moment.

Guoli disliked technology very much because he and other pure humans were abandoned under a lot of technology.

But three thousand years ago, in a country that was striving to develop technology, his views changed.

“The development of technology is to better serve humanity, so they appear.”

“Do you know fishing? At the moment when the fish is hooked, the fisherman uses the strength of his arms and intelligence to fight it. He may win, or he may lose. But no matter the result, the excitement and joy of that moment will not disappear.”

“Technology can change everything, and technology only needs time. We will fight for that time.”

In the end, Guoli couldn’t retreat completely because of the weak human body. However, at the same time, he also accepted technology.

“No need to apologize. I can only stand up in the holographic world. I am grateful because you have created a world for me.”

This movie was truly a collision of technology and reality. Although it was just a movie, it felt so real, as if it had actually happened.

The final scene pulled back, and as He Ai watched Bone Li, who had originally been sleeping in the hospital bed, fishing in the holographic world, she couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time.

The movie ended, and the lights came on. She wiped away her tears and looked at her grandmother.

Grandma’s eyes were also red. She almost didn’t want to leave. It was only when He Ai promised to take her for a second viewing that she reluctantly let He Ai carry her out.

Outside, Grandma He sat back in her wheelchair.

She looked a bit dazed, but her eyes were bright. “Ai Ai, do you think that holographic thing will be available in a couple of years?”

He Ai didn’t know, but she answered with a confident tone, “Definitely, Grandma. Did you see the robotic dogs in the movie? They exist in reality too, developed by Shengquan. They are as capable as real dogs.”

“Wait a few years, and holography might become a reality. I’ll buy you a spot, and you can adjust yourself to be twenty years old inside.”

“Hahaha, if I could adjust, I’d go back to eighteen.”

“Eighteen is fine too.”

“Who is that, Bone Li? This young man is really impressive.”

“He’s called Jiang Zhen, an actor and also an artist under Shengquan.”

He pushed her grandmother, and they saw an old man ahead, also pushing a wheelchair. There was probably an elderly lady in the wheelchair who couldn’t walk by herself.

Their conversation was similar to the one they just had.

Grandma He was in a good mood after watching the movie, especially after He Ai promised to take her for a second viewing. With He Ai’s guidance, she even tried participating in the forum for the first time.

She first sent a 【thumbs up】.

Then, under a series of comments, after careful consideration, Grandma confidently typed out a line:

【Jiang Zhen is awesome】
