Parental Qualification Certificate - Chapter 2
In 3018, the main means of transportation of the Earth people has become flying saucers.
This is a new type of vehicle that uses a cold nuclear fusion reactor to drive a gravitational field engine and fly silently. It can fly in the atmosphere or soar in space.
At 8.20 am on Friday morning, Xinhai City was at an early rush hour. Countless flying saucers, under the control of the automatic driving system and the global transportation network, quietly shuttle between high-rise buildings, forming a layer of layered, very spectacular “disc flow”.
Among this spectacular stream, a very humble silver-gray comet flying saucer was flying towards the Xinhai City Social Affairs Bureau.
In the saucer of the comet flying saucer, a young woman with short hair sat.
On her right index finger, she wore a tungsten gold ring, reflecting the dim cold light.
Her entire eyes were a kind of gray-black.
This is not a disease or a mutation, but for the contact smart glasses to facilitate her to read electronic documents, reduce the amount of light entering the glasses, and automatically become a pair of gray and black contact lenses.
The woman, Su Yutan, is 25 years old and was the victim of Xu Zhenni’s murder and abuse of a woman who once caused a sensation throughout the Earth Alliance.
She was imprisoned at the age of six and was rescued at the age of nine. After living in a psychiatric hospital for two years, she was retired at the age of eleven and adopted by a childless doctor, Dr Song Songning.
Three years ago, Song Yongning passed away, leaving her entire heritage to her, and this flying saucer was one of them.
The flying saucer steadily flew into the underground disc library of the Social Affairs Bureau, and stopped automatically at the reserved disc position before takeoff.
Smart contact lenses faded to gray and black, and returned to a transparent color, exposing Su Yutan’s black and white eyes.
Near to work, a lot of flying saucers have been parked in the disc library, and a cute girl came out of an orange flying saucer next to it.
“Good morning, Atan!” The girl Jiao Qiao greeted Su Yutan warmly.
“Good morning, Sister Shui!” Su Yutan returned her a smile.
The charming girl is Chen Ruoshui, and her nickname is Sister Sister. She is both Su Yutan’s assistant and her friend.
“Today is your last day at the test center. How are you feeling?” Shui Mei asked Su Yutan with a smile.
“Except for some who are reluctant to you, there is no other mood.”
“Since I can’t bear it, why should I apply for a transfer to be a social worker? I thought … we have been working very well together.” Shui Mei said bitterly.
Su Yutan sighed: “I told you. I’m a little confused about this job now, I don’t know if I’m doing right or wrong, so I want to change my position …”
The “Parental Qualification Certificate” system has been officially implemented for five years.
The examination requires three levels: the first level is a basic knowledge written test; the second level is a mock test and an interview; the third level is a stress resistance test.
For the past three years, Su Yutan has been a stress tester, responsible for judging whether candidates are capable of being qualified parents when facing heavy life pressures and major life setbacks.
The reason for the “resistance test” is that the Anti-Domestic Violence Foundation submitted the results of their follow-up investigation to the Earth Alliance Parliament for more than two decades: more than 70% of serious domestic violence, child abuse, It all happens when a strong family member feels the pressure of life and suffers a severe setback in life.
They convinced most members of the public and lawmakers to agree on one thing: to be a good parent, you must have a big heart that can laugh at the storms of life; no matter what setbacks and blows you experience, qualified parents will not take the most Weak children are the targets of anger and resentment.
For the setting of this level, Su Yutan was very supportive, otherwise she would not be a tester.
But three years later, she was gradually confused, and bored with her job duties that always tried to push the worst side of human nature.
“I … just want to try something different.” Su Yutan looked at Chen Ruoshui and was very sorry.
Shuimei took her arm and sighed slightly: “Actually I can understand your choice. It’s just … you’re gone, I’m going to get used to the new tester, and I’m a little embarrassed …”
The two chatted along the way and took the elevator from the underground disc library to the third floor.
This is the Parental Certificate Examination Center of the Xinhai Municipal Social Affairs Bureau.
Turn left from the elevator to the third floor lobby.
On the east side of the hall is a written test room and a mock test room, and on the west side is the compression resistance test center.
In order to protect the privacy of the testees, the test center is semi-closed, and only the testees and their limited relatives can enter. There is a security guard at the entrance of the test center located on the northwest corner of the third floor lobby.
The test center has twelve test rooms. They are backed by the north wall, west wall, south wall of the building, the partition wall between the test center and the third-floor lobby, and are arranged in a ring in a counterclockwise direction, just forming a capital “g” shape.
The blank area in the middle is a small lounge area with some simple tables and chairs for the testees and their relatives and friends to wait for a rest.
The No. 7 test room where Su Yutan and Shuimei worked, backed by the western wall, was located in the southwest corner of the entire test center, the farthest from the exit.
In the locker room of the staff at the entrance, Su Yutan changed into work clothes, took off the smart watch and put it in the locker, took off the invisible smart glasses and invisible smart headphones, and put them in special medicinal solutions.
According to the working discipline of the test center, none of these personal electronic products can be brought into the test room, so as not to inadvertently cause the privacy of the testees to be leaked.
After closing the locker door, Su Yutan and Chen Ruoshui walked out of the locker room, passed through the middle rest area, and reached the No. 7 test room.
To enter the test room, you need to be authenticated.
Su Yutan aimed her eyes at the door-side eyepieces, and let the eyepieces scan the iris.
After the iris was verified correctly, the picture in front of her eyes turned into a “line-of-sight password input interface”.
The upper end of this interface is a virtual keyboard with randomly distributed keys, and the lower end is a nine-digit password box.
Su Yutan focused her eyes on a key of the virtual keyboard and stayed there for one second. The letter or number or symbol represented by this key jumped directly into the password box. There was no need for manual input, and no one else could snoop on the password. Sex.
The test room door opened and Su Yutan walked in.
Chen Ruoshui, who was with her, also verified her identity-it was not her extra effort, but the identity verification combined with the function of checking in and checking in, so she had to come over again to prove that she had gone to work on time.
The test room is not large, only about ten square meters, and the walls, floor and ceiling are all charcoal gray.
A bit north of the middle, there is a human-shaped metal high-back chair with adjustable angle and movable joints, which is covered with a black leather pad.
Above the high-back chair, there is a huge hemispherical helmet suspended from a robotic arm.
The helmet is very heavy, with tiny spikes on the inside, and it looks beautiful and sloppy.
The console is very wide, with a holographic projection screen on the front, two rows of faders on the left, and a console on the right, with dozens of dense and dizzying buttons and knobs.
Su Yutan sat down in front of the console, entered his own license number and password with the same “sight password”, and started the device.
This set of equipment is the “Compression Resistance Tester” and it is also an “interactive consciousness mapping instrument” commonly used in psychiatric diagnosis and treatment.
Using this set of equipment, it is possible to diagnose mental illness in most areas of consciousness, and to allow people to enter a special mental state commonly known as “fantasy” and scientific name “deep consciousness floating state” for special mental treatment.
Therefore, in order to operate this equipment, a bachelor’s degree in clinical psychiatry or above is required-this is why Chen Ruoshui can only be a test assistant and cannot be a tester.
Su Yutan’s stress-resistance test is to put the testee into a “fantasy”, let him or her experience various life pressures and life setbacks, and see how he or she responds.
This is why she is getting tired of this job-she always feels that she is doing evil.
Fortunately, this is her last day to do the job.
After starting the tester and carrying out a routine inspection according to the procedure, Su Yutan looked at the time displayed on the corner of the console and said to Chen Ruoshui, “Go ahead!”
Today’s first test subject, a girl with big eyes named Li Ziye, was brought in and lay on a humanoid lounge chair.
While fixing her head and limbs firmly with a leather buckle, Chen Ruoshui gently explained: “The tester must accurately locate your brain area, so your head cannot move during the test, and your limbs must be fixed … “
The test begins. The lights in the room gradually dimmed; the human-shaped high-back chair slowly tilted, taking the girl’s body into a posture that was conducive to relaxation; the robotic arm sent the huge helmet over, and falsely wrapped around the girl’s head.
Su Yutan skillfully operates the tester, uses the tester to guide brain waves, and uses brain waves to control neurotransmitters.
The holographic projection screen of the operation platform projects one by one realistic or illusory or dark or gorgeous pictures.
The people in the picture are vague, and basically men and women cannot be distinguished.
But most people carry a reminder of their identities-this is the memory of the girl.
Su Yutan pressed the buttons on the console, and the picture of the holographic projection screen began to undergo various changes …
When the test was about to end, the door of the test room automatically opened strangely-under normal circumstances, the door would not open until the test was over.
Su Yutan focused on operating the tester. When he had no time to take care of it, she heard a scream in the ear, followed by stutteringly, calling her: “A … A … Atan …”
Knowing that something must have happened, she quickly controlled the big-eyed girl Li Yezi to escape from the “fantasy”, so as to avoid accidents causing her mental damage.
Just after the operation, Su Yutan felt that someone had come to his side.
A cold object rested on her temple.
“It’s so focused!” A man said mockingly.
