15/11/3008(地球时间)
亲爱的爸爸妈妈:
我现在仍然无法相信我是在接受去年获得的这个奖励。我得不断提醒自己,我真的已经进入到公元3008年了。因为担心这次旅行,头几天我心里总是不踏实,结果我得了时间滞后症。这就与你乘坐飞机会产生时差反应相似,所不同的是,在你的脑子里似乎会不断闪现以前的时光。因此,我一开始就感到神经过敏和心神不定。但是我的朋友兼导游王平很细心体贴,给了我几粒绿色药片,倒是挺起作用的。他父母的公司叫做“未来之旅”,以其技术高超而闻名。他们把我装在一个时间舱里,平安地把我送入了未来。
我仍旧记得我们被太空服务员一起叫到时间舱,爬上去进入一个小门。座位是很舒适的,喝了点镇静剂后,我们的眼睛就闭上了,感到昏昏欲睡似的。时间舱在轻轻左右摇晃,我们放松地躺在那里做梦。几分钟以后,旅程结束,我们就到了。我仍然在地球上,但是进入到了未来的一千年。我们会看到什么呢?
一开始新的环境让我很难忍受。空气似乎很稀薄,好像在混合的气体中剩下的氧气很少。由于缺乏新鲜空气,我感到头痛。正当我想努力调整适应新环境时,王平出现了。他告诉我,“把这个面罩戴上。它会使你感觉好得多。”他把面罩递给我,敦促我马上走进附近的一个小房间,叫我休息。我立刻就感到舒服些了。没过多久,我就再次站立起来,跟着他去领取了一台由电脑驱动的气垫车。这些气垫车是在地面上方漂浮着的,只要在座位上把操纵杆打弯或压下,你就可以迅速地移动。王平系紧了我的安全带,教我怎样使用它。不久,我就可以飞得跟王平一样快了。可是,当我们到达一个看上去像大市场的地方时,由于太多车子朝四面八方飞奔,我看不见王平了。他被卷入到这群车队里去了。就在这个时候我得到一次“时间滞后”的闪回,这样我就再次看到了似乎是公元2008年的那个地区。我这才懂得我被送到了未来,但却仍然在自己的家乡。就在这个时候,我又见到了王平,于是又跟在他后面飞去。
到了一幢看上去很奇怪的房子里,他把我带到一个明亮而洁净的大房间。墙是绿色的,地板是棕色的,灯光很柔和。突然墙壁移动了——原来是树形成的!后来我才发现,就是这些树的叶子为这栋房屋提供了最急需的氧气。然后王平在电脑屏幕上的开关上闪了一下,于是一张桌子和几把椅子就像变魔术那样从地板下面升了起来。“怎么不坐下来吃些东西呢?”他说道,“你第一次作这样的时间旅行,可能会感到有些困难。你可以好好休息一下。今天没有任何出行计划。明天你还要准备参观几个地方。”说完这些,他把食物摆在桌子上,又从地板下取出一张床来。他离开后,我简单吃了饭,洗了个热水澡。实在累坏了,我溜上床很快就睡着了。
以后再谈吧!
你们的儿子
李强
