Up Day

In 2122, human civilization set an alarm clock for itself. The fertility rate has collapsed, the population has been cut in half, and 4.7 Billion people around the world (official: 6 billion) collectively look forward to the same day - "Up Day". On that day, the selected people will board the spaceship, leave their sins for tomorrow, bring their hope to the sea of ​​​​stars, and open up a new home for human civilization. No one doubts this, just as no one doubts that the sun will rise tomorrow. Lin Weiwei never doubted that she was once the number one graduate in psychology in the country, and took the initiative to apply to enter the "Upward" preparation base to serve as a psychological observer - her job was to send desperate people to the road of hope. On her first day on the job, she found a stack of old evaluation odds that had been rummaged through in her drawer. The name of the former observer was blacked out in ink, the date was blacked out, and only the tail of the character "Xu" was faintly revealed. She called and asked. "There is no predecessor," the personnel officer said in a calm tone, "you are the first." Lin Weiwei is a person who loves to laugh. Colleagues say she has a venomous tongue. She can make three logical errors from a promotional lyric and read seven Mandarin translation accents from a commendation order. But there are some things at the base that she can't laugh about—— The screening and elimination rate is as high as 70%, and those who are returned are never heard from again; There is also the silent number 1096 who is always working in the corner. The way he looked at the countdown card didn't look like he was looking at hope, but like he was watching a play whose ending he already knew. There are 2498 days left until the uptrend day. The whole world is counting down. Only a handful of people are counting another account—— Where did the people who were sent up go?
