Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 111 Lucas is a little dizzy (Third update, please subscribe and vote)
After getting in the car, Lucas sat in the passenger seat!
Looking at Li Song, who was unusually young and handsome, Lucas said in English, "Li, I didn't expect you to be so young, and I didn't expect you to like this kind of car. I like this kind of car too!"

“Yes, this kind of car is a true fusion of industry and steel art!” Li Song replied with a chuckle.

“Yes, I used to love racing, but then something happened and I left racing.” Lucas nodded.

"I don't know much about Hong Kong Island, I didn't expect it to be so prosperous!"

“This airport is just too dangerous!” Lucas said, looking out the car window.

"Yes!"

“Mr. Li, I’m sorry, but I still can’t believe it. You are the author of the novel. Is the novel really your personal creation?” Lucas was still somewhat skeptical.

"It was written by our boss himself!"

"Including the characters and props for which we have registered copyrights."

"We, as employees, were also shocked when we first saw it," Liu Jiale replied from the back seat.

"Mr. Lucas!"

"Age and mindset are not necessarily related!"

"Imagination in one's mind is not necessarily related to age."

"Mr. Lucas, what do you think our future transportation will look like?"

Will we still drive ourselves?

"So what is the state of autonomous driving?" Li Song asked.

"It should be computer-controlled. As long as you get on the bus and state your destination, the bus will automatically take you there," Lucas replied after thinking for a moment.

"wrong!"

"Mr. Lucas!"

"In the future, network terminals will connect everyone."

"We just need to set up our itinerary on the terminal computer before we leave the house!"

"Then when we go out, we will see the car waiting for us. When we get to the car, the vehicle will recognize the owner through the in-vehicle facial recognition system."

"Then the car doors will open automatically!"

"And the vehicle's computer will store the preferences of everyone in the family!"

"Including the types of music the male and female owners' children like, their preferred temperature environment, and their preferred car speed."

"Once you get in the car, the computer will adjust the car's interior temperature to your liking and play your favorite music or movie."

"We can watch movies in our car then."

"And flying cars will be developed in the future!"

"We will also develop green and environmentally friendly vehicles that can travel 2,000 kilometers on a single charge!" Li Song said while driving.

"And when your vehicle is involved in an accident, the computer will automatically dial a roadside assistance number!"

"In addition, the vehicle will be equipped with various detectors that can detect the safety status of passengers, including heart rate, temperature, and pulse!"

"It will also release various fragrances that you like."

After listening to Li Song's words, Lucas asked, "Then how does the vehicle navigate automatically?"

"Through various radars, I believe that by then the radar will have been miniaturized."

"Another one is the image recognition system, which is like our human eyes. It can recognize the text on signs, as well as the wires and various signal signs on the road!" Li Song replied.

Lucas found it hard to imagine the things Li Song had mentioned.

If you want to put the radar on the car, how big would the car have to be?

“Maybe!” Lucas saw the registered copyrighted characters and props he had seen.

Then he asked, "I want to know, what kind of novel would have these characters, copyrights, and props?" "The novel is set in an extremely advanced civilization deep in the universe, and the protagonist...!" Li Song began to explain.

When Lucas heard Li Song describe the plot of the novel, he began to talk about the registered props and character copyrights that he had seen.

Anti-gravity flying cars, biochips, virtual projection, cerebral cortex virtual projection technology, neural connection technology, space jump, spaceships, high-energy ray weapons, high-energy laser weapons, and super-powerful weapons capable of destroying planets.

Drones, drone armor, and even unmanned automatic bombs are everywhere.

Once they reached the building where Li Song lived, Lucas combined what Li Song had said with what he had seen, and thus formed a complete picture of society.

“Mr. Lucas, welcome to my home,” Li Song said after getting out of the car.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't bring any gifts," Lucas said, surprised that the other party had arranged for him to stay at their home.

"We Easterners have a saying: 'Guests are always welcome!'"

"Oh!! It's so beautiful." When Lucas walked into Li Song's house and saw the interior design and the sea view that was right in front of him, he knew that the house was not cheap.

Now that the two aunties had finished cooking, Li Song asked them to start serving the dishes.

Li Song told the two aunties to take the extra food they made home with them.

The two women thanked him repeatedly. It turned out that Li Song had told them to prepare more food so they could take it home and eat it.

Then Li Song even paid for the taxi fare!
Because it wasn't convenient for Li Song to eat here, he asked the two aunties to have their meal here.

"Because I was cooking all by myself, I temporarily hired two people to help me with the cooking!"

“Come on, Lucas, don’t be shy!” Li Song explained to Lucas.

"Oh, I'm sorry!" Lucas felt he had been very rude today.

Then the three of them sat down, and a knife and fork were specially prepared for Lucas.

“Thank you, Lee, for your hospitality!” Lucas said.

"From the moment I saw those registered copyrights, I had one thought in my mind: I want to meet the authors in person!"

“There are actually people in this world more talented than me,” Lucas said while eating.

Li Song chuckled. The reason Lucas said that was because he simply couldn't imagine things he hadn't seen.

Li Song had never seen most of the things in Star Mercenaries, but he had seen a lot of them and personally experienced the arrival of the intelligent era.

People cannot imagine things they have never seen, nor can they experience lives they have never lived.

In his previous life in 2080, Li Song was actually quite numb to life at that time.

However, comparing the current lives of those at the bottom of society, Li Song believes that if everyone were given a choice, probably 90% of people would still choose the life of 2080.

At least at that time, everything you enjoyed was provided free of charge, including food, clothing, shelter, and medical care.

Of course, you can't expect to be treated like an emperor just because something is free.

Li Song finally understood why his parents didn't care about that kind of life in his previous life, but instead lived a more refined life.

Because Li Song's parents experienced life before the advent of the intelligent era.

Li Song had never experienced that kind of life, so he was still somewhat dissatisfied with his life at that time.

Moreover, by 2080, only one or two countries in the world were powerful, while the rest had all reverted to agrarian societies.

Because the output of goods from a country's smart factories is enough to supply the whole world.

As for resistance, then you're willing to buy goods produced in smart factories.

We are still facing drones and robots.

Not to mention various biotechnologies and weather weapons.
