'SEE YOU MORNING' 011 Bird's Wings 《晓欣卿》011鸟儿的翅膀
Since Li Haojun’s solar farm was built and provided more electricity, he also spent more time in the basement there. Although he always took care of Qin Wenjing’s feelings before leaving, Qin Wenjing still felt lonelier. So whenever she had no business to handle here, she would go find where Li Haojun was. After finishing her company work today, she came to Li Haojun’s solar farm again. In order not to occupy ground space, aside from the solar panels and windmills, all other facilities were placed underground. Following the downward corridor, Qin Wenjing arrived at the basement. First was a large-area basement for electrical equipment, then further in was the electrical equipment room, and finally the electrolytic capacitor storage room.
自从李皓珺的太阳能农场建好了,有了更多电力,他也把更多的时间花费在了那里的地下室中。虽然他总是照顾好覃文静的情绪,然后离开,可是覃文静依然感觉更孤单了。所以只要她没有这边的事情要处理,就会找去李皓珺所在的地方。今天处理完公司的工作,她又来到了李皓珺的太阳能农场,为了不占用地面,除了太阳能板和风车,其它设施都放在了地下。沿着向下的走廊,覃文静来到地下室,首先是一间大面积地下室用于安置用电设施,再往里才是电气设备室,最后是电解电容存储室。
Li Haojun was usually in the first room, and today he was still there, but with new equipment: aircraft and vehicle operation terminals, which could operate devices and also be used to play games. Today he sat in front of a monitor watching something. When Qin Wenjing approached, Li Haojun had already noticed her arrival. He turned around in his chair and stood up to welcome her.
通常李皓珺都在第一个房间,今天他依然在那里,只是增添了新的设备,飞行器和汽车类操作终端,可以操作设备,也能用于玩游戏。今天他坐在监视器前看着什么。覃文静走近的时候李皓珺已经注意到她来了,转过椅子起身欢迎她。
Even with these big toys, Li Haojun had not become indifferent to Qin Wenjing, but objectively they did take up the time they spent together. Qin Wenjing’s heart was also conflicted: she wanted her man to stay with her, but she also wanted her man to have his own profession, career, or at least something he was focused on — that was what a man should be like. And a man’s ability, like a bird’s wings, once he starts to use it, it seems he is destined to no longer stay by the woman’s side, but to roam the vast blue sky.
虽然有了这些大玩具,李皓珺依然没有对覃文静淡漠些许,但是客观上确实占用了他们同处的时间。覃文静的内心也很矛盾,她希望她的男人陪着她,她也希望她的男人有自己的专业,事业,或者至少是专注的事情,那才是男人该有的样子。而男人的能力,就像鸟儿的翅膀,一旦男人开始施展它,似乎他便注定再无法围绕在女人身边,要去畅游广袤的蓝天。
Li Haojun took Qin Wenjing’s hand and sat her down in front of the monitors. On one of the screens, it seemed to be footage from a pet wearing a camera, which was making its way through the grass.
李皓珺拉着覃文静的手坐到监视器前,其中一个屏幕上似乎是一只携带摄像头的宠物拍摄的,它正在草丛中寻找道路通过。
“Are you watching a live video?” Qin Wenjing pointed and asked, but in her heart she was thinking, let’s see how you answer — you’re watching online videos instead of spending time with me.
“你在看直播视频吗?” 覃文静指了指问,心里却想看你怎么回答我,你去看网络视频却不陪着我。
“Hehe, this? It’s not an online video. I made something like John’s robot dog video signal.” Li Haojun explained while showing the uses of the other monitors.
“嘿嘿,这个吗?不是网络视频,是我弄了一只类似约翰那个机器狗的视频信号。” 李皓珺一边解说,一边展示其它监视器的用途。
“I installed navigation on the shopping dog. From now on, it can walk on its own without being led. This video is the dog’s visual signal.” Saying this, Li Haojun pointed to the monitor next to it.
“我把导航装到了购物狗上,以后不用人牵着,它可以自己上路了。这个视频就是狗视觉信号。”说着李皓珺指着旁边的显示器,
“This is the neural network processing of the robot dog’s video signal: identifying environmental objects, judging a passable path. After making the decision, it directly converts the directional signal into the original leash signal. Slightly modified, fun, right?” After saying this, Li Haojun looked at Qin Wenjing proudly.
“这个是机器狗视频信号的神经网络处理情况,识别环境物体,判断通过路径。做出判断后直接把方向信号转换成原来牵绳信号。稍微改造了一下,好玩吧。”说完李皓珺得意地看着覃文静。
“Is that so?” Qin Wenjing replied with a smile, then asked, “How far has it walked?”
“是吗,”覃文静笑眯眯地回答,然后又问,“它走了多远了?”
“Over ten li. In the future, it can handle buying daily necessities without any problem. It could go farther, but its four legs are much slower than wheels.” Li Haojun thought for a moment and said, “I haven’t decided yet. Maybe a wheeled unmanned vehicle would be better. But homemade unmanned vehicles on the road might have legal issues.”
“十几里地了,将来用它采买个生活用品什么的不成问题。太远也不是不能走,就是它的四条腿比轮子慢很多。” 李皓珺想了想说,“我也没想好,也许用轮式无人车辆更好些。只是自制的无人车辆上路,可能有法律问题。”
Qin Wenjing looked at Li Haojun with a grin and said nothing. She liked his serious expression — serious and responsible, always thoughtful. But she didn’t like spending time with Li Haojun in the lifeless, cold basement.
覃文静看着李皓珺笑嘻嘻地什么也没说,她喜欢他认真的样子,认真且有责任感,总是考虑周到。可是她不喜欢把时间与李皓珺花费在毫无生气的阴冷地下室,
“Come here,” said Qin Wenjing, pulling Li Haojun above ground. The afternoon sun was casting a yellow glow over the earth, and the lawn, under the sunlight, gave off the scent of grass and soil. Pulling Li Haojun to sit on the stone steps at the basement entrance, Qin Wenjing enjoyed this moment of harmony and tranquility.
“你来,”说着覃文静拉着李皓珺来到地上,过午的阳光正泛着黄韵照在大地上,草坪在日照下散发着青草与泥土的气息。拉着李皓珺坐在地下室入口门廊石阶上,覃文静享受着这一刻的和谐宁静。
Her upturned face felt warm in the sun, her closed eyes perceived the color of sunlight filtering through her eyelids. After a while, she turned her head and asked Li Haojun, “Is this good?”
她仰着的脸在阳光下感到温暖,闭着的眼感到阳光透过眼睑的颜色,过了一会她扭头问李皓珺,“这样好吗?”
“Mm,” Li Haojun understood that she only wanted his company, that she had an unstoppable attachment to him. So he put his arm around her waist, held her hand, and enjoyed this afternoon time together with her…
“嗯,”李皓珺明白她只想要自己的陪伴,她就是对自己无法停止的依恋。于是他搂着她的腰,拉着她的手,和她一起享受这共度的午后时光……
“Hey, do you know what my family situation is?” Li Haojun, prompted by the current moment, thought of the past, but he had no memory of it, so he had to ask Qin Wenjing.
“哎,我的家庭什么情况你知道吗?” 李皓珺由当前的时光想到了过去,可是自己毫无记忆,只好问覃文静,
“Sorry, your relatives are all gone. You slept for a long time, but before that, you had already seen them to their graves.” Qin Wenjing said.
“抱歉,你的亲人都不在,你睡了很久,不过在那之前你已经给他们送终了。” 覃文静说,
“Oh, may I ask about your family situation?”
“哦,我可以问你的家庭情况吗?”
“Same. We caught the dividend of biotechnology, and they have already passed away.”
“也一样,我们赶上了生物科技的红利,他们已经走了。”
“Oh,” Li Haojun understood why Qin Wenjing was so attached to him. Aside from her personality, he was her only relative — well, if a loving partner without blood ties could be counted as a relative.
“哦,”李皓珺明白了覃文静为什么对自己如此依恋,除了她的性格,自己能是她唯一的亲人了,好吧,如果没有血缘的相爱的伴侣也可以算作亲人的话。
“Hey, then when we weren’t together, did I get married?” Li Haojun’s habit of getting to the bottom of things resurfaced.
“哎,那我们不在一起的时候,我结过婚吗?” 李皓珺刨根问底的劲头又上来了。
“Yes, but you were dumped.” Qin Wenjing answered firmly.
“有,但是你被甩啦。” 覃文静斩钉截铁地回答。
“Hahaha, excuse me for making you laugh,” Li Haojun said, laughing at himself, while thinking, is this little girl trying to keep me from remembering my ex or other women?
“哈哈哈,让你见笑了,” 李皓珺一边自嘲着回答一边想,是不是这小丫头不想让我想起前任或者其他女人呢。
“Why was I dumped? Do you know? Ah, no, did I tell you about it before?”
“为什么把我甩了呢?你知道吗?啊,不是,我以前和你说过吗?”
Qin Wenjing looked at Li Haojun with a smile, hesitated for a moment, then said, “She divorced you because she thought you were poor.”
覃文静笑眯眯地看着李皓珺迟疑了好一会儿说,“她跟你离婚了,嫌你穷,”
“Me? Isn’t this alright? I have a job, I’m a quasi-interstellar citizen,” Li Haojun was a bit surprised.
“我不是?这不还行吗?有工作,还准星际公民了,” 李皓珺有点诧异,
“You only improved after you met me, alright!” Qin Wenjing said loudly.
“你是后来遇到我才好转的好不好!” 覃文静大声说,
“Haha, alright, so you’re my lucky star,” Li Haojun could only agree, mocking himself.
“哈哈,好吧,那你是我的贵人咯,” 李皓珺只好自嘲着附和。
Seeing Li Haojun’s puzzled expression, Qin Wenjing couldn’t help but find it amusing. He always took everything so seriously. It seemed she needed to explain it to him carefully.
覃文静看李皓珺疑惑的样子,不由得觉得好笑,他总是什么事都认真,看来还是需要仔细给他解释一下,
“You had a low period in your life before: unemployed, in poor health, a midlife crisis. So she chose to leave you.” After a moment’s thought, Qin Wenjing added, “At that time, you were also like now, spending too much energy on your own development, neglecting her emotions and feelings, and overdrawing your own health. But unfortunately, she couldn’t understand you, so she chose to leave.” After saying this, Qin Wenjing looked at Li Haojun. “But your strength is that you can reflect on yourself — you told me all this.”
“你之前人生有一段低谷期,失业,身体不好,中年危机,所以她选择离开你了。”想了想覃文静又补充,“那时候你也是像现在,在自身发展上用了太多精力,忽略了照顾她的情绪和感觉,也透支了自己的健康。但是很遗憾她不能理解你,所以她选择了离开。”说完,覃文静看着李皓珺,“但是你的优点是会反省自己,这些都是你告诉我的。”
“Oh,” Li Haojun looked at Qin Wenjing and nodded gently.
“哦,”李皓珺看着覃文静,轻轻点了点头。
“Well, it seems you can understand me,” Li Haojun’s serious expression turned into a smile.
“那么,看起来你能够理解我,” 李皓珺严肃的表情变成了微笑,
“Hmph, you were the one who pursued me, alright? It’s not like I was throwing myself at you, as if I were cheap,” Qin Wenjing said, pouting her little mouth like a little trumpet.
“哼,是你追求我的好不好,又不是我上赶着你,好像我很贱一样,” 覃文静一边说一边小嘴儿撅得像小喇叭一样。
“Oh, so that’s how it is. Come,” saying this, he took her hand and returned to the basement. “Stand here.”
“哦,原来是这样,你来,”说着李皓珺拉着她的手回到地下室,“你站在这里,”
“What is this?”
“这是什么?”
“3D scanning.”
“三维扫描,”
“What’s it for?”
“有什么用?”
“I’m pursuing you.”
“我追求你呀,”
“Hmm?”
“嗯?”
“I’m going to take you for a ride together, okay?”
“我要带你一起体验兜风,好不好?”
“Oh.”
“哦,”
“Stand with your legs apart, arms stretched out. Make a 3D model of you, take you for a ride in the virtual world.”
“双腿分开站立,两臂平伸,给你做一个三维模型,带你去虚拟世界兜风。”
“Oh, what’s the point of virtual?”
“嗐,虚拟的有什么意思,”
“If you really crash, you’ll be dead. Only in virtual can you race.”
“真的撞死就没了,只有虚拟的才可以飙车,”
“Oh.”
“哦,”
“Take off your top and pants.”
“把上衣裤子脱掉,”
“What for?” Qin Wenjing asked angrily.
“干什么呀?”覃文静生气地问,
“This is optical scanning, to record your skin texture and color.”
“这次是光学扫描,记录你皮肤质地和颜色。”
“Oh dear,” Qin Wenjing complained, but she did it anyway. She was always so obedient.
“哎呀,”覃文静抱怨着,但是照做了,她总是那么乖。
“Come on, take off your bra too,” Li Haojun said, and before Qin Wenjing could react, he did it himself.
“来,把文胸也摘了,”说着李皓珺没等覃文静反应过来便亲自上手了,
“You… you’re so annoying!” Qin Wenjing frowned, glared at Li Haojun, bit her lip and said angrily, “You’re a big pervert,” but she didn’t stop his hands.
“你……,你讨厌!”,覃文静皱眉瞪眼看着李皓珺,咬着嘴唇生气地说,你是个大变态,但是她却没有阻止他的手。
“Now follow my movements. This is to record your skin and muscle elasticity.” Saying this, Li Haojun demonstrated the movements while explaining, “After recording these response data, in the virtual world, when you make any movement, your muscle and skin vibrations will be just like in the real world. Then we can calculate the state of the clothes you’re wearing based on your body surface. Remote virtual clothing customization uses this technology.”
“来跟我做动作,这次是记录你的皮肤和肌肉弹力情况,”说着李皓珺一边做示范动作,一边解释,“把这些响应数据记录下来以后,在虚拟世界里,当你做任何动作的时候,你的肌肉皮肤震动就会像现实世界里一样,然后才能依据你的身体表面解算你穿着的衣服的状态,远程虚拟服装定制用的就是这个技术。”
Qin Wenjing obediently finished the movements, quietly stepped down from the scanning platform, and silently looked at Li Haojun.
覃文静乖乖地做完动作,悄无声息地从扫描平台上走下来,默默看着李皓珺。
