While Ye Zhou and Chen Hao were sitting on the sofa easily discussing the development of the South Island, Liao Guoxing was standing by the bed sweating profusely, helping his paralyzed father turn over and wash it.

His arms were sore and soft, but the expression on his face was not at all impatient.

"Dad, you should move on the bed often and try to turn over. Your back is always close to the bed, and you will develop bedsores in the future."

The old man on the bed took a few breaths and said with difficulty in a vague voice:

"Look..... The people are dying, and there are still so many people..."

"What are you talking about? The doctor said that your body organs are still healthy. As long as you keep exercising and recovering well, you may be able to stand up by yourself in a few months."

Hearing this, the old man sighed dejectedly and replied:

"What's the use of standing up? I'm blind and I'm a useless person..."

"So what if you're blind? Dad, I'll read you a news later. I'll tell you that the technology on the other side of the shore is now very powerful. The eyes are removed and you can see things with an electronic camera!"

While speaking, Liao Guoxing helped his father to the bed again, and the latter looked at the ceiling with a dazed look on his face with a little disdain.

"How can you see things without eyeballs? You're just joking around..."

"This is not a joke. Not only the media on the other side of the shore have reported it, but the newspapers of the ugly gangsters are all very good. Their skills are really advanced, and I heard that they are not expensive either."

"Dad, you should take good care of yourself. When I save enough money, I will also pretend to be a mechanical eye for you. Have you seen the Robotics? It's cool."

Liao Huazhi's expression gradually became a little unbelievable. Although he has been completely disappointed with the South Island official and the Chou Kingdom in the past few months, under the long-term propaganda and indoctrination, his subconscious still feels that only things recognized by the Chou Kingdom are truly useful.

Now, the Ugly Kingdom has issued a document to admit it, so this technology... maybe it is true?

"You read the news to me-----No, don't read the news, read other people's comments to me!"

"Okay, okay, your son told you that you don't believe it, and you still have to listen to others..."

While complaining intently, Liao Guoxing dragged over the chair and wiped the sweat off his head with a tissue beside the bed. He took out his phone and clicked on the news interface he had seen before, cleared his throat, and began to read the above content to Liao Huazhi.

"The title of this report is 'Let the blind see, the incomplete ones'----it' is quite literary!"

"I won't read the content anymore. You don't want to listen to it anyway. The comments below... I'll start with the popular ones for you first."

"This person said: I'm typing with voice recognition now. I hope in two years, I can just look at my phone to type."

"I hope the price can be cheaper so that we ordinary people can afford it."

"Our scientists always surprise me in places I didn't expect..."

"What ugly people cannot do, and we can do it. Who can truly care about their people?"

"This technology is true. I am the neighbor of the little girl in the news. I went to see it that day. Unfortunately, I can't use that device, but I believe that I can use it myself soon..."

"I wish everything upstairs is fine, hold on, and the light is right in front of you!"

.....

As he read, Liao Guoxing's voice gradually lowered. On the contrary, the fire in his chest became more and more intense.

From these comments, what he saw was definitely not just a flattery of this technology, because besides the comments he read, there are actually many other comments questioning the practicality of this technology, the cost of this technology, and even the application prospects of this technology itself.

However, even the most critical comments maintain a basic point of view, that is:

After this technology appears, it will definitely be used by ordinary people.

This is completely different from the public opinion environment of the South Island. In the South Island, if there is a technological breakthrough in a certain direction, then the first thing that comes to mind is "the officials and men need to enjoy again."

This is a fundamental difference.

Liao Guoxing scratched his head, trying hard to figure out when this difference occurred and why he had never noticed it before.

The network environment is clearly public.

I once thought that the news media on the other side and the public opinion on the other side were all shackled, but now it seems that the one who is really shackled... seems to be myself?

Liao Guoxing sighed lightly, turned to look at his father on the bed, and then asked:

"Dad, can you continue reading?"

Liao Huazhi shook his head and replied:

"No, read something else."

"What do you want to hear? I'll read it to you!"

A hint of joy appeared on Liao Guoxing's face. This was the first time since he was discharged from the hospital, his father took the initiative to ask for listening to the news.

He has been regaining his language skills for more than a month, but for more than a month, he has been blocking himself in a world where others cannot be relieved, as if he only hopes to die silently.

Now, being willing to accept information from the outside world means that his hope for life has come back.

Liao Huazhi was silent for a few seconds, then spoke:

"Read... read the news about the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge."

"And their 003 aircraft carrier."

"I also have to tell the railway, and the big plane they took off last time."

"Let me read Yuan Longping's story about our hybrid rice."

"And... I heard from TV two days ago that which fishing boats in Qiandui Fishery have already gone to that island, please read it for me."

"I want to know what's going on with our island now..."

Liao Guoxing nodded heavily, and his wife, who was watching him, made tangerine peel tea for him to moisten his throat, and then carefully helped him adjust the position of the hospital bed so that the elderly on the bed could burn the sunlight from the window.

Then, the youngest member of the family, her daughter Nana, also pushed her grandmother into the room. The family of five sat around the window.

The man in the middle was holding a small mobile phone in his hand, and he struggled to identify the simplified Chinese characters on it. Every time he found the result he wanted, he would read it intermittently to others.

"The Qilian-3 engine is a super-large thrust commercial engine independently developed by my country. Its maximum thrust reaches 165 tons and its normal thrust is 140 tons. On the future C989 commercial large aircraft, only two Qilian-3 engines can drive thousands of tons of cargo..."

"The aircraft carrier 003 has left our country's Djibouti supply base in Africa today. Their next stop will be to Ireland, where they will have friendly exchanges with European countries..."

"The high-yield rice in 'Longping-Qiong No. 1' has once again ushered in a bumper harvest. Local farmers bluntly said: There is too much food, and I hope the country will ensure that the grain prices will not fall."

"Hundreds of Chinese fishing boats went to the relevant waters of the Diaoyu Islands to conduct fishing operations. The Island Coast Guard Bureau stated that it will not interfere, and fishing with confidence."

...

After reading the news one by one, everyone's faces were first surprised, then turned into doubt, but in the end, only admiration was left.

At the end of reading, my wife stood up and opened the curtains. The brighter sunlight shone into the small room. For a moment, everyone's eyes stinged.

But, this sting is only temporary after all.

After adapting to the light from the sun, they suddenly felt a strange warmth.

Maybe, this room has been dark for too long?

Maybe my family has been isolated from the world for too long?

At this moment, even if you can't walk out of the room immediately, you should indeed let the sunlight shine in, kill the viruses, molds, and even those ghosts and monsters in this dark and humid room...

So, on this afternoon of a sunny weekend, Liao Guoxing and his family gathered quietly, sat in the sun, enjoying the long-lost heat of ultraviolet rays scorching on their skin.

At this moment, people who did the same thing as their family were spread throughout the South Island.
Chapter completed!
