The seniorcaptain who goes down the departure gate, stopped the footstepssuddenly, turns away fromLu Zhouto say.
走下登机口的老舰长,忽然停住了脚步,背对着陆舟说道。Heardthisbewilderedwords, in the eye of Lu Zhoufloated off a curiosity, opened the mouthto ask.
听到这句莫名其妙的话,陆舟的眼中浮起了一丝好奇,开口问道。„Whatpossibility?”
“什么可能?”„The method of conservativesecrethasmanytypes, except forusing the honorbuys, letsinsiderforeversilence,”seniorcaptainsmileslightly, „Idraw an analogy, for exampleletsfollowinourbehindthatdestroyers, firestwoartillerytous. Youlooked, the finalresultisn't same?”
“保守秘密的方法有很多种,除了用荣誉收买,还有让知情人永远的沉默,”老舰长淡淡笑了笑说,“我只是打个比方,比如让跟在我们身后的那艘驱逐舰,对我们开上两炮。你看,最后的结果不也一样吗?”And......
而且……
The costas iflowersa lot.
成本似乎低得多。Looksto fall into the thinkingLu Zhou, the seniorcaptain, continuedto say.
看着陷入思索的陆舟,老舰长顿了顿,继续说道。„MartyrtombisI and otherhome to return, Ihave preparedsacrifice, thereforeIdo not matter, will urgeyoudo not resist. But, do youhavewithmysimilarconsciousness?”
“烈士陵才是我等的归宿,我已经做好了牺牲的准备,所以我无所谓,甚至会劝你不要抵抗。但,你有和我同样的觉悟吗?”„...... It looks like the choice of personas ifto havemanytypes,”did not havedirect reactionthisissue, Lu Zhouto sayin a soft voice,„perhapssomeopportunitiessaw the captain of Pan-Asianfirstfleet, Imusttohimsay that the soundthanked.”
“……看来人的选择似乎有很多种,”没有直接回答这个问题,陆舟轻声说,“或许有机会见到泛亚第一舰队的舰长,我得对他说声谢谢。”„Hedoes not have the rightto makethisdecisionactually, but...... words, although said that butfrom the Italianprinciple, shouldsaythanksactuallyourthesesavedperson,”seniorcaptainhehesmiles, „I want to say that the consciousness of withoutcompletingfacing death bravely, will not wantto handlethismatternext timehotheadedly.”
“他倒是没有权利做这种决定,不过……话虽然这么说,但从义理上来讲,该说谢谢的其实还是我们这些被拯救的人,”老舰长呵呵笑了笑说,“我只是想说,如果没有做好英勇就义的觉悟,下次还是不要头脑发热去做这种事情了。”„Icanpledge,Ihandlesuchmatterabsolutelyam notbecausehotheaded.”
“我可以发誓,我做这样的事情绝对不是因为头脑发热。”WhenLu Zhousaidthese words, the seniorcaptainhas walked away.
当陆舟把这句话说出来的时候,老舰长已经走远了。Obviously, hehas not believedoneselfwords.
显然,他并没有相信自己的话。Shrugged the armreluctantly, Lu Zhougave up the explanation.
无奈地耸了耸肩膀,陆舟放弃了解释。To be honest, becauseif not forthiscrisishas concerned the human civilization the life or death, he is also basicbeing worthwhileto stand.
说实话,若不是因为这次危机已经关乎到人类文明的存亡,他也根本犯不着站出来。Sitsis waiting fornextclass of shuttle machine that in the terminalgoes to the surface, whenLu Zhouthinksmustmakeanythingto kill the time, wearsonleft wrist the wrist watchsuddenlyto glitter.
坐在候机厅里等待着下一班前往地表的穿梭机,就在陆舟思索着要不要做些什么打发时间的时候,戴在左手腕上的腕表忽然闪烁了一下。IsXiao Aihits?
是小艾打来的吗?Sodeliberately considering, Lu Zhouis extending the index fingerto select above.
如此寻思着,陆舟伸出食指在上面点了一下。
The resulthas not thought that appearsin the total informationlight beamis notXiao Ai, butisChiefXing.
结果没想到,出现在全息光束中的不是小艾,而是邢队长。„Nowwhere are youat?”
“你现在在哪?”„OnheavenZhou......”looks that on the facewrote all overdignifiedChiefXing, Lu Zhouthrows the line of sight of inquirytohim, „how?”
“天舟号上……”看着脸上写满凝重的邢队长,陆舟向他投去了询问的视线,“怎么了?”„You there and otherI, wego to a San Franciscotogether, will walk the aerospaceflight the wordsto be quicker.”
“你在那里等一下我,我们一起去一趟旧金山,走空天航班的话会快一些。”„San Francisco?” The knitting the browshead, Lu Zhouaskedpuzzled, „went tothereto do?”
“旧金山?”皱了皱眉头,陆舟不解问道,“去那里干什么?”
After ChiefXingsilenta while, says.
邢队长沉默了一会儿之后,开口说道。„Yourfriendinjuresis a little heavy, Idid not determine that thisisfinallyone side.”
“你的朋友伤的有点重,我不确定这是不是最后一面。”

The dim light of nightis deep, DongBinleft the apartmentin a great hurry, caught a taxiin the entrance.
夜色深沉,董斌行色匆匆地离开了公寓,在门口搭上了一辆出租车。
After the magnetic suspensionautomobilelaunchingstarts off, sat the black driverindrivinglooked at a rear view mirror, spoke thoughtlesslyto say.
磁悬浮汽车起飞上路之后,坐在驾驶位上的黑人司机看了一眼后视镜,随口说道。„Asian?”
“亚洲人?”„Yes.”
“是的。”„From? China? daycountry? South sidepoint?”
“来自哪儿?华国?日国?还是更南边点?”Justthought the concern, DongBinwas not returning toonepatiently.
正想着心事,董斌不耐烦地回了一句。„Is thisvery important?”
“这很重要吗?”„Naturally...... is unimportant, butcame toSan Franciscorecently is really not a goodchoice, even if the suburb of relative security.”
“当然……不重要,只是最近来旧金山真不是一个好的选择,哪怕是相对安全的郊区。”Hearsthese words, DongBinsmileslightly, has not madeanyappraisal.
听到这句话,董斌淡淡笑了笑,没有做任何评价。Dies the personinhishandfar more thantens of thousands, howhewill care aboutonlyseveralpetty thieves......
死在他手上的人何止成千上万,他又怎么会在乎区区几个小毛贼……
The destinationis a top-notchcommunity, dedicates the humansecurity that then to seefromthatcleanneatpath and entrance,is occupied by the personherenon-richto be expensive.
目的地是一座高级小区,从那干净整洁的道路和门口尽忠职守的人类保安便能看出,住在这里的人非富即贵。Walked upto showownvisitorcode , indicating after oneselfwere the guest of someowner, the entrancesecurityopened the foldingdoorquickly, puthim.
走上前去出示了自己的访客码,表明自己是某位业主的客人之后,门口的保安很快打开了折叠门,将他放了进来。According to the pioneergiveshisaddress, DongBinarrivedbefore the aloneresidents of communitycornerdirectly, walked upto press down the doorbell.
照着先驱给他的地址,董斌径直来到了为小区一角的独栋民宅前,走上前去按下了门铃。Passed a smalllittle while, the gatebackheard the sound of footsteps, immediatelyrotates the voice of door knob.
过了一小会儿,门的背后传来了脚步声,立即转动门把手的声音。Before then, the realisticimageaboutpioneer, hehad hadsuch asbrilliant, kind, braveanddynamicwaita series ofimagination, howeverhas not actually thought,appearsbeforehim is actually an old person of whole facewrinkle.
在此之前,关于先驱的现实形象,他曾经产生过诸如睿智、和蔼、勇敢、魅力四射等等一系列的想象,然而却是没有想到,出现在他面前的却是一位满脸皱纹的老人。
The old personas if not knowhim, stared athimto lookwiththatold with dim eyespupilsome little time, saidwith the scrupletone.
老人似乎并不认识他,用那老眼昏花的眸子盯着他看了好一会儿,才用迟疑的口吻开口说道。„Are you?”
“你是?”Hasflash that DongBinsuspectedoneselfwent astray, when herepeatedlyconfirmed the door plate, actuallydiscoverynotwrong.
有那么一瞬间,董斌怀疑自己走错了,然而当他再次确认了门牌号时,却发现并没有错。
The address that the pioneersgiveishere.
先驱给出的地址就是这里。Politenodding the headslightly, DongBinsaidin a soft voice.
礼貌的微微颔首,董斌轻声说道。„...... Isyousummonsmeto come.”
“……是您召唤我来的。”Inhearing the instance of these words, in the pupil of old personthatpollutionfloated offsuddenly.
在听到这句话的瞬间,老人那浑浊的瞳孔中浮起了一丝恍然。„...... IsImakesyoucomeso that's how it ishere? Thatcomes inquickly.”
“原来如此……是我让你来这里的吗?那快进来吧。”Does not know that isintendsorhas no intention, said thismycharacter, old person'scavityadjusted the pressurevery muchheavily, ifas ifhas referred tobeing same.
不知道是有意还是无意,在说出这个我字的时候,老人的腔调压得很重,就仿佛若有所指一样。HoweverDongBinhas not hesitated, butfollowedamenablein the old personbehind, arrived in the roomtogether.
不过董斌也没有迟疑,而是顺从地跟在了老人的身后,一同来到了屋里。„...... Heremanyyearsdoes not have the guestto come, sinceIboughtthishouse,”walking stickselectedgentlytwoon the rug of living room, old personverbosesaying, „thisrugbecame the cultural relic...... Istillto rememberquicklyIjustboughtitstime, a North AmericanAllianceshadowdid not have.”
“……这里已经许多年没有客人来过了,自从我买下了这栋房子,”拐杖轻轻在客厅的地毯上点了两下,老人絮絮叨叨的说道,“这张地毯都快成文物了……我还记得我刚买下它的时候,北美联盟还连个影子都没有。”
It seems likerealized that owntopicsomewhatpullsfar, old personembarrassedsmiling of, endedthistopic, looked that saidto the guest.
似乎是意识到自己的话题扯得有些远,老人不好意思的笑了笑,结束了这个话题,看向客人说道。„Sorry, the person old wordswere a much less, youfirstsat down...... saying that youdid name?”
“抱歉,人老了话有点多,你先坐下吧……说起来你叫什么名字?”„DongBin.”
“董斌。”„DongBin?”Satonoppositesofatremblingly, the old persontouches the chin, said that „has presentedthisnameinmymemoryvaguely......, but the feelingwas very remotematter.”
“董斌是吗?”颤颤巍巍地坐在了对面的沙发上,老人摸了摸下巴,开口说道,“在我的记忆中依稀出现过这个名字……但感觉是很遥远的事情了。”„Said that Ihave not introduced oneself, myname...... wasDavid Lawrence, the probably100years old...... spoke the truth, the specificmanyyearsIalsorecordedwas not quite clear, was impossibleover150.”
“说起来我还没有自我介绍,我的名字……叫戴维・劳伦斯,大概有100来岁……说实话,具体多少岁我也记不太清了,总归不可能超过150。”DongBin: „Are you...... human?”
董斌:“您……是人类?”„Yes, disappointingyou,”old personsmiles, looks atDongBinpupil, saidin a soft voice,„Iguessyouwere the biologicalperson, moreoverwasawakening.”
“是的,让你失望了,”老人笑了笑,看着董斌的瞳孔,轻声说道,“我猜你是仿生人吧,而且是觉醒者。”DongBinnodssilent.
董斌沉默地点了点头。„Youtoldme, wantswithIchataboutface to faceexisting the significance, thereforeIcame.”
“您告诉我,想和我当面聊聊关于存在的意义,于是我就过来了。”„Isaid?”Touchesownchin, the old personthinksa moment later, sighedto saysuddenly, „whenI said that perhapsbutIhave no wayto give you verygoodsuggestion.”
“我是这么说的吗?”摸了摸自己的下巴,老人思索了片刻之后,忽然叹了口气说道,“就当我是这么说的吧,但我恐怕没法给你很好的建议。”„To be honest, Iactuallyunderstandwhyyouwill come, was clear why thatIwill makeyoucome tohere...... I to make the choicelong before, possibly was really myweaknessharmedme, harmedus.”
“老实说,我其实明白你为什么会来,也清楚那个我为什么会让你来这里……很早以前我就该做出选择,可能真的是我的软弱害了我,也害了我们。”„ThatI?”DongBinfrowns, somewhatunclearsaying, „pleaseask that...... what do you mean?”
“那个我?”董斌皱起了眉头,有些不明就里的说道,“请问……您是什么意思?”„Thiswas a long story,”
“这就说来话长了,”
The pupil of thatpollutioncaught a recollectioncolor, seems likeinmustraisetheseagingpast eventshesitant, after the old personhesitateda while , to continue to say.
那浑浊的瞳孔染上了一丝回忆的色彩,似乎是在犹豫要不要提那些陈年往事,老人沉吟了一会儿之后,继续开口说道。„For a long time is very before very long, eventhere is so longfor more than half a century, Ialmostcleared the family property, andwithsomehelpfromvoidsound, completedthatgreatexperimentfinally, consciousnessandin the thoughtpassed to the hardware.”
“很久很久以前,甚至有半个多世纪那么久,我几乎散尽了家财,并且在某个来自虚空的声音的帮助下,终于完成了那伟大的实验,将意识和思维上传到了硬件。”„At the last minute of experiment, Ishouldsuspend the vital function of thisbody, obtainseternalin the world of digit, howeverpressed down the finalflash of buttonIto hesitateagain, thereforeinthisworldwas borntwoI, I who twoare unable to meetforever.”
“原本在实验的最后一刻,我应该暂停这具身体的生命机能,在数字的世界中获得永恒,然而再按下按钮的最后一瞬间我犹豫了,因此这个世界上就诞生了两个我,两个永远无法相见的我。”„Youshouldknow? The thoughtlike a granule of pair of entanglement, bothwill havecollapsingat convenience. Butincondition of entanglement, I, livesindigitalworldthatI, isincomplete.”
“你应该知道的吧?思维就像一对纠缠的粒子,两者相遇便会发生坍缩。而在纠缠的状态下,无论是我,还是活在数字世界中的那个我,都是不完整的。”„Heis blamingmeprobably,”inold person'seyesappearedto rebuke oneself, „blamedmenot to have the courageto make the decision, has towed the presentfromhalf a century ago.”
“他大概是在责怪我,”老人的眼中浮现了一丝自责,“责怪我一直没有勇气作出决定,从半个世纪前一直拖到了现在。”„Hemakesyouseeme, perhapsishopes that Imake the last option. Existedsignificance? Interesting, to be honest, livingwas so long, Ialsotrulylivedenough......”
“他让你来见我,也许是希望我做出最后的选择。存在的意义是吗?有意思,不过说实话,活了这么久,我也确实活够了……”DongBinknitting the browshead.
董斌皱了皱眉头。Heiscomes tohereto look for the answerobviously, but why does not know, alwaysfeltpuzzledrepliedis notoneself, butsitsinoneselfpresent, shouldfor the old person who oneselfdispel doubt.
明明他是来这里寻找答案的,但不知道为什么,总感觉困惑得到回答的不是自己,而是坐在自己眼前的这位、应该为自己解惑的老人。Whenhewas deliberately consideringmustopen the mouthon own initiative, the expression on oldfacemovessuddenlyslightly, the muddyline of sightwill moveto the window.
就在他正寻思着要不要主动开口的时候,老人脸上的表情忽然微微一动,将浑浊的视线挪向了窗口。Theredarkness, the deepdim light of nightcovers, cannot see a person's shadow.
那里一片漆黑,深沉的夜色笼罩中,看不到一丝人影。However, he can actually feel,somepeoplewhere.
然而,他却能感觉到,有人在哪里。
The soundputlightly, oldLawrence, saidwith the modesttone.
声音放轻了,年迈的劳伦斯,用温和的语气开口说道。„Hides outside thatfriend, pleasecome out, althoughyourabilityveryexcels, successfullyavoidedallcameras, buton you implantationrighteousnessbodyexposedyourposition.”
“躲在外面那位朋友,请出来吧,虽然你的本领很高强,成功避开了所有的摄像头,但你身上的植入义体还是暴露了你的位置。”
The gate of living roomopenedgently.
客厅的门轻轻开了。Looksto appearin the entranceperson, DongBinpupilcontractsinstantaneously, put in the bosomto wantfrom the sofato stand the hand, howeverwas actually stoppedwith the lookby the old person, thereforehas not stood upfrom the sofafinally, what replaces it is the suitablepersonthrew the hostilityline of sight, saidYinsadly.
看着出现在门口的人,董斌的瞳孔瞬间收缩,将手伸进了怀中想要从沙发上站起来,然而却被老人用眼神制止了,于是最终还是没有从沙发上站起,取而代之的是相当人投去了敌意的视线,阴恻恻地说道。„Does the detective of Pan-Asiancooperationcarry out the taskinNorth America?”
“泛亚合作的探员在北美执行任务?”„When necessary, wewill presentanycornerinthisworld,”visionpassed over gently and swiftlyDongBin, Wang Pengboth eyeslooking straight aheadlooksto sitthatold persononsofa, „Mr.Lawrence, youmayreallymakemequitelook.”
“如果有必要,我们会出现在这个世界上的任何一个角落,”目光掠过了董斌,王鹏双目直视地看着坐在沙发上的那位老人,“劳伦斯先生,你可真是让我好找。”Lawrencesmileslightly.
劳伦斯淡淡笑了笑说。„Do Iknowyou?”
“我认识你吗?”„100years ago, perhapslight of numbercruiseNorth Pole, following yearManilaexplosion...... thisyearno onehas rememberedthesegrownpast events, butalsorecordsfrom100years ago me,”visionstubbornlyis staring athim, Wang Pengcontinues saying that „, even ifyouwill run away the future, Iwill also restrain according to the lawyou!”
“100年前,北极之光号游轮,还有次年的马尼拉爆炸案……也许这年头已经没人记得那些成年往事了,但来自100年前的我还记着,”目光死死的盯着他,王鹏继续说道,“哪怕你逃到了未来,我也会将你绳之以法!”Movedgentlybegan the walking stick, Lawrencestands upfrom the sofatremblingly, turns aroundto turn away fromWang Peng, smiles.
轻轻动了动手中的拐杖,劳伦斯颤颤巍巍地从沙发上站起,转身背对着王鹏,笑了笑说。„I, althoughhas livedenough, if OK, wantsto choose a dignifiedwayto leavethisworld.”
“我虽然已经活够了,但可以的话,还是想选择一个体面的方式离开这个世界。”„As forManilaexplosion? Matter of theseantsandIhave not related.”
“至于马尼拉爆炸案?那些蝼蚁的事情和我没有关系。”Saying, the old personlooked askanceslightly, looks atoneto sitDongBinonsofa.
说着,老人微微侧目,看了一眼坐在沙发上的董斌。„Youwantto knowsignificance that has?”
“你想知道存在的意义吗?”DongBinnods, had had a premonition that fromold person'slookanything, stood upfrom the sofasilent.
董斌点了点头,从老人的眼神中已经预感到了什么,沉默地从沙发上站起。„Verygood,”Lawrenceselectsgently, thensaid,„killedhimforme.”
“很好,”劳伦斯轻轻点,然后说道,“替我杀了他。”„Thenyouunderstand, the existedsignificancewasanything.”
“然后你就会明白,存在的意义到底是什么了。”
