In November 2024, Trump won the US election again. There wasn't much coverage in China, and Lin Yuhui had a hard time finding a website to watch the live broadcast of the voting. Over the years, Lin Yuhui's view of Trump had shifted from seeing him as a revolutionary movement, to a political opponent suppressed by the establishment, and finally to a political showman.
2024的11月美国大选川普又赢了,中国这边没什么报道,林语晖好不容易找到一个网站观看了投票直播过程.这些年来,林语晖对川普的看法已经是从革命性运动,到被建制派打压的政治对手,最后到政治玩票了.
Now watching the US election felt like watching an entertainment program to him. Domestic media kept tight control, with little reporting. There was nothing to be done—Lin Yuhui understood that not everyone could see the world clearly. Most couldn't, and were fooled by Trump's big mouth, so he understood this approach domestically.
现在自己看美国大选就好像看娱乐节目一样,倒是国内媒体控制得比较严,少有报道.没办法,林语晖也清楚并不是所有人都能看清楚这个世界,大多数不行,被川普的大嘴忽悠,所以他也理解国内的这种做法.
He also remembered that KFK2060 had once predicted Trump's re-election, including the postponement of the Japan Olympics, which also came true. But Lin Yuhui really didn't expect Trump to win re-election by skipping a term and then coming back.
他也记得KFK2060也曾预言了川普连任,包括日本奥运推迟也命中,但是林语晖真的没想到川普会是以隔一届再次当选这种方式连任.
However, it should have been the image of him being shot, his ear getting hit in public, seizing the opportunity to clench his fist and shout that won him the grassroots votes. His actual policies were really not very reliable. There was nothing to be done—the more realistic priority was holding onto his throne. That was his actual situation.
不过应该是他遭遇枪击,耳朵当众挂彩抓住机会握拳高喊的形象给他争取了底层选票,而他的实际政策真的是不怎么着调.没办法,更现实的是保住他的皇位,这就是他的现实处境.
Lin Yuhui didn't think his policies could make America great again. As the saying goes, it takes more than one cold day to freeze the river three feet deep. America's problems seemed deeply entrenched. But the way he dodged the bullet was truly as if aided by divine providence.
林语晖不觉得他的政策能够让美国再次伟大,冰冻三尺非一日之寒,美国的问题似乎积重难返了.但是他躲过子弹的方式确实如有神助.
While following international news, he also found new, more active bloggers on Douyin spreading Zavaroni information. They basically posted the night before, and by the next day there would be a Chinese version. This time he finally had a source to watch Liliana's real-time information releases.
在关注国际新闻的同时,他也在抖音上找到了新的,更积极传播扎娃罗尼人信息的博主,基本是昨晚发布,第二天就会有中文版,这回他终于有了观看莉安娜实时发布信息的来源.
Just that he didn't know why, whenever Lin Yuhui watched Liliana's videos, he always had a deep feeling of disapproval. Yes, her style was different from her predecessor relative—after all, Liliya was a pilot, while she was still just a little girl. Their perspectives and life experiences were completely different.
只是不知道为什么林语晖在看莉安娜的视频的时候总有种深深的,不认可的感觉.没错,她的风格是和她的前任亲属不同,毕竟莉莉娅是飞行员,而她还只是个小女孩,她们的视角和生活经验完全不同.
But Lin Yuhui still didn't understand why he had such a prejudice. If he didn't like someone's videos, he could just not watch them. But he clearly chose to watch them, yet after watching felt there was no content. There clearly was content—why did he have such a heavy feeling of disapproval? And then he would still chase after more videos to watch. It was truly unreasonable.
不过林语晖还是不理解自己为什么会有这样的成见,如果不喜欢某个人的视频,不看就好了,可明明自己选择看了,却看完以后觉得没有内容,明明有内容啊,为什么自己会有这么深重的不认可的感觉呢?然后自己还要再追着看,真是不可理喻了.
But Lin Yuhui was very interested in Liliana's videos about ghosts and the lower astral plane topics. He was curious what it was like over there, because his grandparents had once walked that path. But after watching, there was still an empty feeling. Very strange.
不过林语晖对于莉安娜那些关于鬼魂,低星界话题的视频倒是很感兴趣,他很好奇那边是什么样,因为爷爷奶奶曾经走过那边.可是看完之后还是有种空空的感觉,很奇怪.
That day, Liliana's space news mentioned that two warships in their fleet had collided in space. One ship could not be repaired and had already returned to its home port. It was said to be a space collision accident caused by operators lacking lookout and sensor failures.
这天,莉安娜的太空新闻提到了她们舰队里的两艘战舰在太空相撞了,有一只船无法维修,已经返回母港了.据说是操作人员缺乏瞭望,加上传感器失效造成的太空碰撞事故.
Anyway, this was a bit hard for Lin Yuhui to accept. Advanced alien life, actually at the same level as the declining US Navy—they collided ships in a non-combat operation. Slightly worse than the PLA. Leaving aside the ship technology level, the personnel discipline and operational rigor were clearly not serious enough, and the equipment support level was also not good enough.
反正这对于林语晖来说有点接受不了,先进的外星生命,居然和跌落的美国海军一个水平,非战争行动状态下撞船了.比解放军差点,除了舰船技术水平不说,人员纪律性和操作严谨程度显然不够严肃,装备保障程度也不够好.
The space news said the ship that was hit was only partially damaged and could still sail back to its home port for repairs. The damaged area was the rear upper section.
太空新闻里说那艘被撞的飞船只是局部损坏,还能航行回到母港维修,被撞部位是后上部.
Seeing this, Lin Yuhui suddenly remembered Liliya's earlier information content. She had told the story of her childhood living in the forest.
看到这,林语晖忽然想起了以前莉莉娅的信息内容,她讲述了她小时候在森林中生活的故事.
Back then she was alone in the forest, very lonely, but there was a spaceport near her location. She could often look up and see spaceships entering and leaving the spaceport, flying across her field of vision. She also yearned for the outside world. It was at that time that the seed of following spaceships to explore the universe was planted in her young heart.
那时候她独自在森林里,非常孤单,但是她的所在地附近有一个太空港.她经常能够抬头看见宇宙飞船进出空港,在她的视野里飞过,她也很向往外面的世界,就是那时候,在她幼小的心灵里种下了要跟随飞船去探索宇宙的种子.
According to her memories, once she happened to see a large spaceship returning to the spaceport. From far away in the air, she could see a big hole in its rear, as if it had been bitten.
根据她的回忆,有一次她恰巧看到了一艘大型飞船,返回太空港,远远地在空中就能看到她的后部有一个大洞,好像被咬了一口一样.
So Lin Yuhui very naturally connected these two things. Was what Liliya saw this ship that was damaged in Earth orbit in Earth time 2024?
所以林语晖很自然地把这两件事联系到了一起,莉莉娅看到的是不是这艘在地球时间2024年,地球轨道上被撞坏的飞船呢?
In an instant, Lin Yuhui felt as if he could see her field of vision. A little girl, looking up at the blue sky, a damaged spaceship flying across the blue sky in her vision, returning to its home port for repairs.
一瞬间,林语晖感觉好像自己看到了她的视野.一个小女孩,仰望蔚蓝的天空,一艘损坏的飞船正在视野的蓝天里飞过,返回母港维修.
Liliya later joined the Tayget space force, piloting fighters that could travel through time and space. Her unit's main responsibility was to protect key events on the timeline to prevent accidental interventions from causing changes to the main timeline.
莉莉娅后来参加了塔吉特人的太空部队,驾驶可以穿越时空的战机,她的部队的主要职责是保护时间线上的关键事件,以免意外的干预造成主时间线的改变.
Of course her unit was also experimental in nature, and through her own repeated parthenogenesis, she repeatedly challenged tasks she hadn't completed before, which also gave her more understanding of time jumps and timeline management.
当然她的部队也是实验性质的,并且她通过自己一次次的孤雌生殖,去反复挑战自己之前没有完成的任务,也使得她自己对于时间跳跃和时间线管理有了更多的认识.
But Lin Yuhui remembered that Liliya mainly mentioned the ancient Egyptian era, and of course also key events from the early twentieth century to the present. So, following human habitual thinking, Lin Yuhui had always felt that Liliya was a figure born a very long time ago, equivalent to ancient times in Earth time, or even prehistoric, back when ancient Egypt existed.
不过林语晖记得莉莉娅主要提到的还是古埃及时代,当然也有二十世纪初至今的关键事件.所以,按照人类的惯性思维,林语晖一直觉得莉莉娅是一个出生在很久之前的人物,相当于地球时间的古代,甚至史前,古埃及那个时候.
But today, in an instant of enlightenment, he realized: could it be that Liliya was a person living in the same era as himself, only she piloted a hyperspace ship and jumped to the past, or the future?
但是今天一瞬间的灵光开窍让他意识到了,是否?莉莉娅是和自己生活在同一个时代的人,只不过她驾驶超时空的飞船跳跃到了过去,或者未来.
Or could it be thought this way: Earth and the Tayget people's location in the Pleiades cluster have no comparability in time? Not two parallel flowing rivers, but petals falling from the same tree landing in two rivers, drifting downstream from the same starting point at the same speed.
或者能否这样想?地球与塔吉特人所处在的昴宿星团在时间上没有可比性?不是两条平行流动的河流,同一棵树上飘落的花瓣落在两条河水里,在以同样的起点,同样的速度,顺水流去.
The petals might not move at the same speed as the water, and even the starting points might be different.
可能花瓣随着水流的速度并不同,甚至起点也不同.
People who often follow UFO and alien information know that it's rumored there's a threshold in the universe: once a civilization masters interstellar travel capability, advanced civilizations in the universe will automatically contact it. Because there are some basic rules to follow in the universe. For example, the most important prime directive is that advanced civilizations cannot interfere with the development path of civilizations that haven't reached interstellar capability, and certainly cannot invade them.
经常关注UFO,外星人信息的人都知道,据传宇宙里有一个门槛,就是当一个文明掌握了星际旅行的能力之后,宇宙中的先进文明就会自动联系它.因为在宇宙里有一些基本的规矩需要遵守.比如最主要的首要指令,就是先进文明不能够干涉未达到星际能力文明的发展路径,当然更不能侵略人家.
Just like a teacher teaching a newly enrolled student the school rules, the rules of society in the future. Because mastering interstellar travel capability basically cracks the essence of spacetime. Travel is no longer limited to space, but also time. So not interfering with the development of existing timelines, so as to avoid causing major events across the entire universe that would affect other lives, seems to be a basic requirement.
就像老师教一个新入学的学生,学校的规矩,将来社会上的规矩.因为掌握了星际旅行的能力,基本上就破解了时空的本质了,旅行将不再只是限于空间上的,还有时间上的,所以不干扰现有时间线发展,以至于发生整个宇宙的大事件,对其它生命造成影响看起来就是一个基本要求.
Looking back at Liliya's life experience, on the scale of interstellar civilization, she has the ability to travel through time and space, so for her, her world's time is very likely also nonlinear.
再回来看看莉莉娅的人生经历,在星际文明的尺度下,她有穿越时空的能力,所以对于她来说,她的世界时间很可能也是非线性的了.
During missions, she can return to the past, like ancient Egypt, to complete her tasks. If she doesn't succeed, no problem—she can go back again. This time with previous experience, she should be able to do better. She might also be able to go to the future to check on the completion status of her tasks.
任务中她能回到过去,比如古埃及,去完成她的任务.如果没有成功,没关系,她可以再回去一次,这次有了之前的经验,应该可以做得更好.她或许也能去未来,去检查自己任务的完成情况.
Besides military missions, she should also be able to return to the past to say something to her past self, or go to the future to see if she's developing according to her own plan.
除了军方任务,她应该也能回到过去,对过去的自己说些什么,或者去未来,去看看自己是不是按照自己的计划在发展.
