Interlude Reality 01: Above the Moon Chapter 17 Human Art
Spaceport, to be honest, this place is changing every day and every year.
The space city does not have a fixed space port. Under the control of nanomachines and internal AI, the entire city is constantly developing and operating at a high speed. It is a very irrational behavior to develop in a short and reckless way with limited materials in a certain place. With AI, there is no need for a centralized port to organize.
Rather than calling it a space port, it is more like a special gathering place for humans. Humans need certain landmark buildings or things with symbolic meaning to locate their position and build their three-dimensional sense of space and time. So for people at this time, the port of the space city is the newly established history of human civilization, the Aztec Times Square. Under the surrounding silver-colored movable walls, the introduction of the ancient Aztecs is constantly presented.
Because of the optical invisibility of the spacecraft itself and the problem of authority, not many people noticed this inconspicuous person who walked down from the spacecraft. Even if someone occasionally saw him, they knew where this person came from by looking at the magnetic uniform made on Earth on Li Lin. Tourists and residents from Earth are the most common people in this space city. They seem like ghosts, and they may appear from some inexplicable corner at any time, and then take a few photos that they think are more beautiful in various places, and then upload these things to the public network to block the channel space.
This doesn't sound like a good thing, so the local residents of the space city are also full of a certain degree of disgust towards Earth tourists, just like the locals in ancient Earth hated outsiders, although just like most discrimination - most of them have only been here for about ten years.
"How many hours will it take to fully charge..."
The main thing is that the self-inspection work is a bit troublesome. Can't it be done in a snap like in novels?
Li Lin is the type who eats with a bowl in hand and curses when he puts it down. He doesn't miss the safety and comfort of the spacecraft, but is concerned about its speed. But even so, he knows that his identity doesn't make him suitable for saying such things. So he took tentative steps and began to kill time in the Aztec Times Square.
The entire Aztec Plaza actually didn't have any particularly ancient elements. After all, the ancient times were not suitable for normal modern human survival and life. The projection screen on the ground simulated the stone steps and moss marks full of historical traces. The so-called stone pillars were basically made of metal, and then painted with a layer of color similar to the surface of the rock with special dyes. A group of actors, or volunteers with nothing to do, were wearing Aztec national costumes and howling in a messy language, dancing around the campfire, as if they were performing some mysterious ritual.
As soon as the AI holding spears around saw a curious expression on a human's face, they would step over like a guardian of a temple ritual and introduce the historical charm and ancient religious ritual structure here in a vivid and moving voice. Most of the humans showed some interest. Since they showed an interested expression, the AI would start to do their own work. The quick-written 3D printing system around them kept printing out small ornaments that looked very exquisite, like a performance, and next to them were reports and content about the historical content of the ornaments, which were not sure whether they were true or false.
Every square in the era has its own marketing and performance business, but the task is not heavy. Even though it is a spaceport with a lot of people, it will sooner or later become part of the city's spiritual core when it is planned. So the petiole does not have too much compulsion or other feelings.
In the corners of the square, there are free Aztec retro-style specialties. Although they are not very delicious, you can experience the strong Aztec spirit in them.
“It’s really free.”
After taking a sip of the famous Aztec corn juice, Li Lin realized that these people still used modern seasonings and ingredients.
But it was understandable. Who would have nothing better to do than to treat the passing travelers with something sour and bitter? In the Aztec cafeteria, AI figures wearing grass skirts and painted with paint shuttled among the travelers in different clothes, placing plates on what looked like wooden tables, giving them time to rest and wait.
More people gathered in the square, as if an art consortium had issued a flash mob mission. Groups of people came out of the crowd to the rhythm of the drum music and danced happily with the Aztecs who were performing a sacrificial ceremony next to the fire. Even the people eating around them changed into their clothes with expressionless faces, and then suddenly joined the flash mob, which scared the real tourists.
“It was a wonderful time.”
Li Lin squinted his eyes and drank the corn juice. He looked at those people twisting their bodies to show themselves in the center of the square, and then he drank the corn juice in the cup.
Otherwise, it can be said that the human beings of this era have reached a certain bottleneck, or have become idle to a certain extent. If there are not enough resources or enough leisure time, no one will do these things that have no meaning other than entertainment. So when people look at those beautiful things, they will smile from the bottom of their hearts, instead of sneering and saying that they have nothing to do, and then go their separate ways.
Simply put, having money and free time is the best state of life for human beings. Why do we have to make so much drama for ourselves when we have nothing to do? Isn't it good for everyone to live a good life?
"Hello, you look familiar..."
"……Um?"
Looking in the direction where the sound came from, Li Lin raised his eyebrows in surprise.
A little girl he had never seen before looked a little uneasy and smiled at Li Lin in a friendly manner.
"Excuse me, have I seen you somewhere before?"
