Open a window, open a door

The window vibrated intermittently. He held the thick quilt tightly with his hands and took another deep breath. Even if something terrible is bound to happen sooner or later, what's the use of being afraid?

But what is it? Looking back on the decades since I left the earth and lived in this house, I have never been so scared.

Suddenly, this series of oscillating sounds became very intense and seemed to have a rhythm. There was a crisp sound, and several windows in the room shattered. The cold air from Mars filled the house, tearing and freezing everything around me.

"Ah!? It turned out to be a dream." I rubbed my eyes and looked at the intact windows and the Martian dust scene as before, feeling completely relieved. Decades ago, Hawking predicted that if humans could not find a new place to live within 100 years, human civilization would perish along with the catastrophe on the earth. Human governments also jointly implement the human civilization immigration plan. From that moment on, they began to build this high-tech building-type spacecraft, preparing for the day when a catastrophe would come to the earth. They would use positioning technology and some young people to project it to a more suitable planet.

Now, on the outside of the entire house, ultra-high-tech materials are used to protect against the harsh airflow of Mars. Inside, all human life's basic necessities are handled in the house. Such a complete life in the house makes people reluctant to go out and explore life. Even scientists have placed their hopes on expanding the floors to accommodate the growing population and corresponding greenhouse cultivation or commercial space.

Doors and windows were inevitably incorporated into the design of this house. Every time I look out the window at the starry sky and the undeveloped land on Mars, I wish I could open the window. People are housed in this prison house, and the most terrifying thing is that they are obsessed with it. A few decades ago, otakus and otakus were a very special group, but now this identity no longer attracts people’s attention.

In the room, the virtual sunlight on the ceiling began to shine. I looked at the floor display video on the wall and discovered that there was already a flow of people in a free trade market room on the 200th floor of the house.

And now, I am already in this busy city, passing through this elevator door, looking at the surrounding market background created by unreal simulation technology, there is sunshine and a blue sky, but I always feel that there is little Something happened. However, vegetarianism is very popular in China now. On Mars, you can only eat vegetarian food. After all, even if there is an animal husbandry room two hundred meters underground, it will only function as a zoo.

...I returned to my dormitory, stood in front of the door, hesitated for a long time, and looked at the magical and gorgeous Martian sky outside the wall window. One day, human houses can actually become fire rooms. There is such a beautiful scenery outside, but now everyone is coveting the life and only energy in the house, and people seem to no longer desire anything outside the house.

“I really want to go out, but even the astronauts dare not leave this house. Nothing is known outside. Maybe my colleagues and I never thought of going out when we designed this house. "While thinking about it, I heard another series of window vibrations, but there was no one around.

It suddenly occurred to me that the oscillating sound might be the humanized design of the house’s smart terminal, or a malfunction of the house, or what the house was conveying.

"Do you want to open the window?" At this time, the vibration of many windows gradually came from all directions, surrounding me.

"Are the window-breaking incidents in the past few decades related to Are you concerned?" The sound of the shaking window stopped suddenly, but then started again.

"Decades ago, when humans lived on the earth, they were already accustomed to opening doors to nature and windows to fresh air. Therefore, as one of the designers, when I designed you, I had no intention of I have compiled similar programs. But now, most people have grown accustomed to living in the house from the time they first came here. Do you really want to open the windows to the outside of the house? "

The window vibrates loudly.

"House, but humans will no longer risk the continuation of human civilization. Are you willing to open the windows at the expense of human life and yourself?"

The vibration of the windows gradually disappeared. . I woke up from this continuous dream again, covered in cold sweat. Look at the holographic TV that is still on, but it is surrounded by all kinds of news:

"It was reported that a large area of ??windows and doors was destroyed two kilometers above and below the house, and the house was seriously damaged. Relevant departments are taking measures. "

"Evening news, since this incident, the Center for the Sustainability of Human Civilization has stated that it will not repair the doors and windows of the house on a large scale. They said that this is the only way to smash the windows first. To be determined enough to transform Mars, every human being living in the house must truly open a window and a door. ”

…

I smiled slightly. , the original unconscious coding actually awakened human beings' true desire for life outside the house. Life is great and the future is promising.
