The alarm clock woke Tom from a deep sleep.

"Whoops ..." Tom turned around, turned off the alarm clock and got up reluctantly.

As usual, Tom will turn off the alarm clock and go back to sleep.

As a professional who works from home, Tom is employed by several internationally renowned companies with his outstanding mind and is responsible for the important affairs of network security of these companies. Because of his outstanding ability, Tom has obtained the permission to work from home.

Of course, Tom stayed at home for other reasons.

Today, Tom had to leave his country house and go shopping in the city.

As it's almost Christmas, major stores can't find time to deliver the goods to the customers who ordered them, so Tom has to do it himself this time.

Although Tom tries to avoid going out, he actually has to go out every month because of these things in the company. Of course, the expenses of going out are reimbursed by the company. Now that the Christmas holiday is over, Tom can't get rid of filling his food freezer and kitchen container in time because of his busy work before, so Tom finally made up his mind to go out a few days before Christmas.

In fact, Tom made up his mind. He measured it in his mind, planned his travel route, and made a lot of preparations, such as sticking a dark transparent protective film on his car glass and taking out a coat and a big hat that he hadn't worn for a long time before.

After washing, Tom got dressed, got into the car and started the car.

"Shit, it's still so hot." Tom muttered something discontentedly. When Tom was a child, he thought about wearing a cotton-padded jacket and a scarf at home to have a snowball fight with his friends. The year after snowballing, it may have been almost 20 years. Tom thought, and found that his forehead seemed to emit a little moisture. "Hell, this day." Tom said to himself again and then drove in the direction of the city.

When the car approached the city, Tom saw the tunnel leading to the city from a distance.

A trace of anxiety crossed Tom's mind.

At the entrance of the tunnel, there are security kiosks and various automatic monitoring equipment.

Tom's car drove slowly into the tunnel.

Suddenly, the security checkpoint was lowered and Tom's car was stopped. Three machine probes arrived near Tom's car, and the probes sent out various perspective rays, which made a thorough analysis of Tom's car.

"I'm sorry, the gasoline used in your car does not meet the requirements. You are using gasoline with excessive carbon content, which violates the newly promulgated national personal regulations on reducing greenhouse gas emissions this year and also violates the international global greenhouse gas restriction order. "

"Are you willing to accept the fine? And we will help you switch to the latest gasoline that meets the carbon content standards. "

"I am willing to accept fines and gasoline, but can you tell me why this standard is updated once a month, including the carbon content limit of this gasoline?" Tom asked.

The sound made by the security personnel through the microphone continues to come from the machine probe. "We have the latest technology to reduce the carbon content in fuel, which is also related to human survival. Please follow the rules. "

"But ..."

"Your fine is 1000F, please hand it over to the relevant department within 3 days to allow electronic transfer; In the meantime, I have changed your gasoline. Your gas bill is 500 degrees Fahrenheit, please pay now. "

Tom slowly took out 500F coins and thought, "Well, I spent 1500F coins before driving into town."

But on second thought, compared with other aspects, this payment is still a good result.

"This latest technological coat is really effective." Tom thinks that if he knows his actual weight through these safety checks, it will be in trouble.

Tom drove into town. The city is full of tall buildings and roads extending in all directions. And every 500 meters above the road, there is a UFO-like device floating. These devices are road monitors.

Are they monitoring whether the driver is speeding? No, not only the speed, but also the heat and carbon dioxide emitted by cars. As long as the driver is alive and the car is running, it will produce heat and carbon dioxide.

Tom drove carefully, and these detectors passed over his head one after another.

Tom stopped at the red light. I felt that my body was going to catch fire, so he opened the window a crack. The air inside the car was too stuffy.

At this time, a child who earns pocket money by washing cars came running with a bucket of water. He quickly and skillfully took out a bottle of detergent, quickly applied it to the window, and then poured water on the window.

Before Tom could notice the child's action of lifting the bucket, the bucket of water had been poured into the window.

A little water leaked through the window that Tom had just opened because it was too hot, and some water splashed on Tom's coat.

"Not good!" Tom was surprised. If the coat is covered with water, the protective effect will be invalid!

At this moment, we can't waste a second. We must leave this place. Tom didn't pay for cleaning the car, so he started the car quickly and rushed out when the red light just turned green. Just now, the monitor above Tom's parking lot is focusing the field of view of one of its infrared induction telescopes on Tom's car, and of course it is also monitoring the owner of the speeding car.

Does Tom just want to drive his car to a safe place, a corner of the city, the depths of an alley, or a garage? Anyway, just get away from these damn detectors.

Tom drove as full as he could.

Soon, a few harsh sirens sounded behind the car, and at the same time, the horn in Tom's car began to sound like a man.

"The owner of the car number WZ 1209, please stop for inspection!"

Tom knew that the police were using the satellite positioning system to spread his voice, and the receiving speaker in the car had successfully received the police's orders.

Tom knew exactly what parking meant, so he stepped on the accelerator.

There is a street across the street. Tom turned his car to the right and sped along the road with less traffic. For traffic police motorcycles, Tom's four-wheeled vehicle still has an advantage.

Seeing in the rearview mirror that the traffic police were being thrown farther and farther away, Tom felt that he had the hope of escape. By this time, Tom was sweating profusely, but Tom didn't want to wipe the sweat, so he had to find a safe place to hide first.

When driving to the intersection, Tom didn't know which way to take to avoid the traffic police completely and safely. Suddenly, the traffic police seemed to fall from the sky and rushed out from one of the intersections.

Tom was startled by the traffic police. I wonder how much adrenaline is released at this moment. He reflexively turned the steering wheel to the right and the car turned right into a fork in the road.

Not long after the car drove out, Tom found that the fork in the road that came in in a hurry was actually a lonely dead end, and the exit was blocked by a high wall in front.

In this way, Tom is like a turtle in a jar, and he can only give in easily.

"The car in front, don't make unnecessary resistance, stop quickly!" The police gave the order again.

Tom had to stop and wait anxiously for the coming situation.

Tom opened the window when the traffic police came to Tom's car.

The traffic police began to announce: "You have violated the new national regulations that restrict individuals from reducing greenhouse gas emissions this year. Don't you know that hiding your weight is a serious illegal act, and you also tried to cheat the monitor with an electromagnetic shielding coat. The data measured by the monitor shows that your weight is about 225 Jin, which exceeds the legal limit of 205.76 Jin. Every time the body weight exceeds the standard value 1 kg, the amount of carbon dioxide exhaled by the human body increases by 4%. According to the law, we have the right to ask you to pay a fine of 200,000 F and escort you to the "Zero-emission Weight Loss Center for Deep Obesity", and all the expenses of the weight loss center will also be borne by you. You will receive various treatments and measures for you in the weight loss center until the carbon dioxide in your breath reaches the level stipulated by law ... "

Tom began to regret why he took the risk. He looked at the policeman in despair. After all, Tom paid a huge price for this shopping trip before Christmas … ..

One of them is a huge fine, which of course does not include the expenses in expensive zero-emission weight loss centers and various painful treatments … ..

A huge fine ... money ...

Tom decided to take a chance. He said to the traffic police as calmly as possible: "Mr. policeman, I am guilty, but please understand my feelings." Christmas is very sad. " I basically don't go out every month now. If there is a genetic obesity gene in my family, I will live a normal life. "

The traffic police gave him a cold look, said nothing, and began to take out the ticket book to write.

"This fine will ruin all the money I earned this month, and my work will be delayed because of treatment in the weight loss center. Look, can you make an exception? I might as well give you half my money instead of giving all my money to the country ... "

Then, a few seconds of gambling silence.

The traffic police stopped to write a ticket, looked at him and said, "What do you mean?"

"Do you accept checks or electronic transfers?"

At dusk, a car with translucent gray tape on its window drove out of the city, full of various commodities and a 225-pound Tom.

Tom thought that this trip out of town was a desperate trip.

After receiving Tom's check, the traffic police have informed the central computer automatic monitoring system to unlock Tom on the grounds that Tom's personal data analysis is wrong. And in order to prevent the police from exposing him again, the clever Tom has secretly recorded the whole process of communication with the police with the micro video equipment in the car. If the police expose Tom, Tom will continue to face huge fines and zero-emission weight loss centers, and the police will face the punishment of being executed for shielding the excessive emission sources.

With this in mind, Tom felt at ease. However, he decided to eat less in a planned way from tomorrow. After all, it is very unwise to pay a large fine for the exhaust gas he exhaled … ..
