Chapter 152 All things grow
"Oh, Commander." Lin Cheng leaned against the table, raised his hand and brushed his hair, "Why do you think the original painting will be there? I know we're going to that tower tomorrow, and we can't predict what will happen. "
Ji Yao nodded his toes, leaned on the back baffle, and said, "Don't you think the two towers are a coincidence? Who built it? Why did they build it? Who would build such a building in the no man's land of Tibet?" ? We have to think, we have to think."
"There is also a telescope there, a radio telescope, with an aperture larger than the largest telescope in the real world. But it is no longer used, and the equipment inside is still intact." Fu Zhong said, and he poured warm water for everyone, "Why? Was it suddenly abandoned? What did they observe with the telescope? What did they find in the collected signals from the universe? We can’t find the truth, and we may think about it for many years.”
Xiao Zhuoming folded the sulfuric acid paper as it was, and sandwiched it between the pages of the book.Lin Cheng took a sip of water, caught a glimpse of Xiao Zhuoming flipping through the diary, and asked casually, "What was written in the diary? Is there any record about this tower? Take a look. Well, this may not be ethical."
"This is the record of Gang Rinpoche's archaeological work. It is written about some archaeological knowledge, such as what fossils were dug today, and what abnormal geological phenomena were discovered. This is all normal." Xiao Zhuoming said lightly, and she quickly After browsing a page and turning over, it seems that there is nothing worth looking at. "There is a sentence here, the giant eagle, 'There are giant eagles in the valleys, which look like Kunpeng, hiding behind the clouds and mist, and can't tell the truth." That's it One sentence, and then write something else."
Ji Yao stood next to Xiao Zhuoming, watching her pointing to a certain sentence in the diary, his eyes stayed on that sentence for a long time, and then turned to the laboratory where Yang Qihua worked: "There are also giant eagles in Tibet, how is this?" What's going on? I can't figure it out. What else is written after that?"
"There is nothing in the back, some incomprehensible things were written in a mess, and a few pages were torn off."
Ji Yao lowered his body and carefully read the words on the paper. Those words looked a bit distorted, like a irascible lion getting angry, or like a panicked person venting some emotions.
"His emotions are not normal here, what do you think? Expert Lin." Ji Yao pressed his eyebrows and called Lin Cheng, "What was written on those pages? I guess it must be something extraordinary, Maybe the truth is on those pages."
"No, we have to think about who tore off those pages. Since Xiao Erhuai's three words are not signed by himself, it is also possible that someone else tore off the paper. Don't you think so, Doctor Xiao? "
"Of course, I want to."
"How did you get this diary? I remember you said that you were raised by the country and should live alone, so who gave you this diary?" Fu Zhong swipe the Galaxy screen twice, Zoom in on photo to inspect details.
Xiao Zhuoming pinched her fingernails and reached out to press the ventilation fan. The buzzing sound made her feel irritated: "In 2010, a package was specially delivered from above. I don't know who it came from. I only know that it came from above, high-level military and political officials, and others. I have no idea."
"Yeah." Fu Zhong nodded, propped his hands in thought for a while, and walked aside with a cold expression, "The military and the government always do some inexplicable things. Since it was sent from above, it means that your father's identity is not simple. , The content of the diary must have been processed by them, because it may involve confidentiality. What about the signature? Was it also deliberately imitated by the above?"
"What's the point of them doing this?" Ji Yao asked, "It's pointless."
Everyone was silent, and the air suddenly became thick.
Fu Zhong took out a square box from the cabinet on the other side, which contained candy cubes, which were left here when he came here a few days ago, and he has not taken them away.He picked two pieces of candy and put them into Ji Yao's cup, and said, "The question we have to think about now is why the two places are so similar. Giant eagles, monsters with human faces, black towers, no-man's land, you guys Think about it carefully, what is this like? Like an original file and a copied backup."
"Even according to the theory of parallel worlds, chiefs, this doesn't make sense." Xiao Zhuoming stood up from the chair. She was tired from sitting and wanted to stand up and take a walk. Exactly the same thing."
Lin Cheng raised his hand as a signal, got up and walked away, making way for Xiao Zhuoming: "I'm not the chief, I'm just an expert in profiling, please don't call me chief Lin, I can't bear it. Besides, Doctor Xiao, nice to meet you you."
Xiao Zhuoming shook hands with Lin Cheng, Fu Zhong stirred the slowly melting sugar in the glass, and looked down at the words on the experiment report.After a while, Ji Yao withdrew his hand, rubbed it, covered the still warm cup, and said, "There is another hypothesis, that if a person accidentally falls into a parallel world, then the only way for him to return home is to find the parallel world. The common ground with his real world, and then through the bridge effect of the other world, the two worlds can be interconnected."
"The 'homologous intercommunication' hypothesis published by Professor Kuian Aibier and Professor Qi Mingli in the journal Science?" Fu Zhong frowned. He put down the things in his hand and asked the electronic secretary to call up the paper. "It's still controversial in academia to this day."
The entire content of the thesis was displayed on the screen, along with photos of Professor Quinn Abil and Professor Qi Mingli.Lin Cheng crossed his arms and looked at it for a while, then said: "Professor Aibier is an amazing person, he is the one who calculated the expansion coefficient and explosion critical point of the cavity, and his name is honored to be used to name this value."
Ji Yao smiled slightly, and he moved the paper to his tablet, making it easier to read.Xiao Zhuoming didn't quite understand the mechanism of this aspect, and Lin Cheng was explaining it to her.Ji Yao turned sideways and whispered in Fu Zhong's ear: "Do you think that black tower will be a bridge connecting the two worlds? Professor Qi Mingli said very clearly, the bridge effect from another world, similar things always attract each other , the same is true for particles.”
"It's the same with people." Fu Zhong turned around and agreed softly. He lowered his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were always gentle, like a magnolia flower after rain. "Similar people always attract each other."
"I'm telling you something serious, what nonsense are you talking about?" Ji Yao tapped Fu Zhong's chest with the tablet, her ears were always red and delicate, filling the air in the laboratory with a sweet cherry fragrance, " How could you be so dishonest."
Fu Zhong smiled warmly, he didn't make a sound when he laughed, just quietly, like sitting under the eaves of Kunming Spring, looking at the woody flowers climbing on the shelves.The dense leaves cover the half-opened white flowers and the full flower buds, which are all soaked by the rain.
The door of the laboratory suddenly opened from the inside, and Professor Yang Qihua walked out wearing protective clothing, closed the door, took off the protective hood on his head, and went to fetch a cup of hot water.He looked very tired, took off his glasses, pressed his eyeballs, and sat down to rest.
"What are the leaders doing in the laboratory? What can I do with my students?" Yang Qihua asked. He took off his protective clothing, revealing the thin sweater and white coat inside. "Tomorrow you have a mission, pay attention to rest."
Ji Yao glanced inside the laboratory, the lights were on, the instruments were working, and a perspective image of a dragon crawling was displayed on a screen: "How is the professor's work going? Have you confirmed what creature it is?"
Yang Qihua closed his eyes, leaned against the back of the chair, pressed his fingers on his temples, and said: "The primitive type of reptiles is similar to the forest lizard-Hylonomus, the most primitive non-porous type. But it is not right, the non-porous body type Smaller, but this reptile is so big, which is not normal. Ordinarily, the subapora can grow to such a large size, but the subapora appeared very late, and the time is not right."
"Then it seems that a new type will be added, maybe this is an original species that we have never discovered." Ji Yao said, he smiled shallowly, and couldn't see much temperature, "But professor, you once said you came After passing here, didn’t you encounter this kind of creature then?”
Yang Qihua opened his eyes upon hearing this, but there was no expression on his face.He seemed to be thinking about something, and he answered after a while: "No, there was nothing here when I came here. Climbing dragons were created later."
Fu Zhong put down his work, stretched his long legs, and asked the professor, "Created? What do you mean?"
"It didn't exist in the first place, but was created out of thin air. In this sense, it's like making a scientific invention." Yang Qihua spread his hands and made a gesture, "It's a very simple truth."
What else did Fu Zhong want to ask, Ji Yao raised his hand and patted his arm lightly, signaling him not to continue talking.Ji Yao put on a relaxed expression, and he smiled lightly, like an old friend reminiscing about the old days, with a calm tone: "Then what happened after? After being created."
Yang Qihua looked at the ceiling and blinked once for a long time: "Then? Then I don't know. After all, I returned early, and I don't know anything about it. It's a pity, how many wonderful things I missed."
Ji Yao raised his long eyebrows and smiled softly: "Is it wonderful? I don't think so."
"Why did you return early?" Lin Cheng asked.
"Some technical reasons. There was a sudden problem with the channel. There was no room for all the personnel to return at once, so they were transported in batches. The first batch was mainly scholars, experts and civilian personnel, and the second batch was armed forces and executives. I am The first batch returned, and the second batch stayed here and waited." Yang Qihua paused, "It was already half a year later when the second batch came back. Many of them died."
After he spoke, his tone dropped, as if he was thinking about it, and it stagnated in the air for a long time, like cooking smoke, pulling a long string, but he refused to let go.The old things of the past are rarely mentioned, and when they are mentioned, the eyes are covered with dust.
While listening to Lin Cheng's talk, Xiao Zhuoming recorded the key points on the paper, which was clear and neat.She has always learned everything she has learned, is serious and correct, and has always been like this since she was a child.Not only is one ear listening to Lin Cheng's speech, but the other ear is also listening to the conversation of the person next to her. She can use her mind several times. Lin Cheng feels that her mind is absent every time, but he can answer questions fluently when asked her.
"The 'dragon' has been mentioned many times in the diary, but I'm not sure whether it exists." Xiao Zhuoming quickly wrote the last line and turned the paper over, "You can think about it, how did this happen?" What's the matter. Also, teacher, I remember you once said that if you don't return early, you will capture the world's first living dragon specimen. What does this sentence mean? Have you ever seen a real dragon? "
Yang Qihua clasped his hands together without any unnecessary movements. He leaned back in the chair, but his gaze was long-term.After a while, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked back: "Did I say that? I don't remember. Gentlemen, I'm a little tired and need to rest."
Ji Yao was wearing a windbreaker and stepped on the heels.He was neither angry nor annoyed, and had no emotion at all.After Yang Qihua said he was going to rest, he closed his eyes, covered his lab coat and began to doze off.Seeing him falling asleep, Ji Yao turned off a light in the laboratory.
There is no need to continue the conversation. The clock on the wall has changed a few numbers. It is very quiet outside. There is a mission tomorrow, and everyone is recharging their energy.After Xiao Zhuoming copied all the contents in the diary, Ji Yao turned off the remote control system, and Xinghe said goodnight to him.
Xiao Zhuoming put on the protective clothing and entered the laboratory again, raised his hand to make a goodbye gesture to everyone outside, walked to the back of the test bench and started working.Ji Yao glanced at the alarm system on the wall, turned around and left here, Lin Cheng shook his body twice, and was taken away by Shanhua.
"Why did the professor say that the reptile was 'created'? What did he mean, creatures cannot be created out of thin air." Fu Zhong walked over the porthole, with guns and magazines tied to his arms, "at least the theory of evolution has not been overthrow."
Ji Yao took his hand, took it back, put it in his pocket, and said, "Of course creatures cannot be created out of thin air. What Yang Qihua meant may be that the crawling dragon was suddenly transported by something from another place, and suddenly appeared in front of them, so say 'creation'."
There was a cabin door ahead, Ji Yao slowed down, pointed at the bright white light behind the cabin door, and said, "For example, there is a group of people behind that door, and they have never seen me. When I go through that door and arrive at When they're in front of them, they're seeing me for the first time, and it's like I just fell out of nowhere. That's kind of what it means."
Fu Zhong was silent for a while, and they walked towards the door together.The light is getting closer, Fu Zhong said: "If this is the principle, then there must be a distorted space, an entrance and an exit, which function as a space door."
Ji Yao stood in front of the door, the scanner on the top automatically identified his identity, the door opened slowly, and the white light behind it flowed over like milk, dripping over the upper of the shoe.They walked through the door and came to the back cabin, and the staff raised their heads and greeted them briefly.
"You are right. So what does this mean? It means that there is indeed an unknown force that can change time and space at will. Think about the strange things you encountered before, and you will understand. Here, there is another thing that is above time."
"Our purpose is to find it. Where is it hiding? I think it is all around us, but we can't see it." Fu Zhong said, he put on his executive coat and gloves, "It will be hidden in the black In the tower? The four families sealed the tower, could it be that they sealed that thing in the tower?"
Ji Yao shrugged, and stood below to watch Fu Zhong climb up the stairs and open the skylight on the top of the machine, and the stars twinkled in the dark sky.He looked at the stars and said: "I don't know, we have to go there and see. If we succeed in this move, it will prove the correctness of the hypothesis of homology intercommunication, the effect of bridges between different worlds, and the effect of door openings. Then we will be awarded What grand prize? Let me see, I'll have to pick."
They all laughed, Ji Yao asked Fu Zhong to wait, and went to the side to change clothes.After putting on the executive suit, he walked up the stairs to the top of the cabin, where the wind was strong, and Fu Zhong stood next to the vertical launch equipment to check its stability.
"Do you want to be on duty with me?" Fu Zhong asked him with a smile, and quietly held Ji Yao's face in the wind and kissed him, "I must be the one who is pitied by God to be on duty with the commander. "
Ji Yao was holding a rifle in his hand, and he was very heroic in his executive uniform.Fu Zhong thinks that he looks heroic and energetic in whatever he wears, and at first glance, he looks moist and lively.Ji Yao turned around and buttoned Fu Zhong's collar, his lips were almost touching him: "I want both love and work, and I can't delay either. Let me sleep and I can't sleep, why don't we watch the stars together to distract ourselves?" Be lonely for a while."
"Why are the chief's eyes always so beautiful? It's like the moonlight in his eyes."
"There is a reason for my beautiful eyes. I was born on a moonlit night, and the stars fell into my eyes." Ji Yao said, and he nodded his heart, "Be attentive when you are on duty. If you don't want to work, you want to miss your lover."
Fu Zhong brushed up his hair, then smiled and looked down at the toes of his shoes.He raised his eyes and glanced at Ji Yao, his voice sounded like Matsushita's spring water: "I dare not look at the stars from now on."
The mansion of Lord Zanying has not yet arrived, the car is still speeding on the highway, and the snow falls intermittently.Sandie saw the village hidden in the mountains, the grain in the fields had been harvested, the straw had been dried in the snow all winter, and the turtledoves were standing on the ridges of the fields looking for food.
Bai Zhu sat aside and read old newspapers. The newspapers were more than 80 years old, but in Bai Zhu's hands, they looked as if they had just been published last year.Sancha was surprised. It is said that the paper could not be preserved for such a long time and remain intact. This thing should have existed in a museum or a national archive.
"Ma'am, are these newspapers printed and distributed in 1938? Or are they later photocopied?" Sandie asked, "This paper doesn't look like it was preserved for 83 years."
Bai Zhu picked up a corner of the newspaper, making a rustling sound, it was pink and brittle.Bai Zhu spread out a newspaper, put the other end on three laps, tapped his forehead and said: "It's the newspaper from that year, you can see it after reading it. It was sealed in the national archives for a while, and then It was taken out by the old Patriarch and kept here."
Pointing to the box at her feet, she continued: "Time in the box is static, and things stored in it will not break. So these newspapers can be preserved for a long time."
Sandiao nodded, and asked: "The time in the box is static, what is the principle?"
"The core of the work is the separate accelerator, and through a series of complex physical transformations, the time is relatively static." Bai Zhu said, she wiped her ear pinna with a gloved hand, "the coordinates of the time bureau will be equipped with This time freezing device."
"It's really amazing. I can't believe that such a small box can freeze time." Three stacks stroked the newspaper, looking at the font printed in thick ink on it, the font was still legible, and it seemed that there was still warm ink on it. fragrant.
Bai Zhu smiled slightly, noncommittal to Sandie's words, and replied lightly: "These are the research results of the Ji family. My husband studied astrophysics, time and space back then, and he was one of the developers of the freezing device. He There are even more proud research results, he even compressed a black hole into a necklace pendant."
"Is he the Ji family?"
"Well, his surname is Ji, the current head of the Ji family." Bai Zhu nodded, stopped his hands, and looked at the sky and fields outside for a while while pressing his knees, "The 'old head' I just mentioned is me. Husband's grandfather, my son's great-grandfather."
Sandie moved his wrist, hesitant to speak, and after thinking for a while, he asked: "Your husband...isn't he already dead? Why is he still the current Patriarch?"
"Yes, he has passed away. But so far no one has come to inherit the position of Patriarch, so he is still incumbent. My son is the heir, but he..." Bai Zhu hesitated, "He seems Didn't realize that."
After Sandie Moran didn't continue this topic, he saw the headline in the newspaper and said: "This is a report after the Huayuankou Dam was blown up in 1938. Did three dragons really surface? I just listened to the folks before. In this legend."
Bai Zhu folded the paper and put it together with the others, revealing the black-and-white photo attached to the newspaper at that time, the Yellow River breaking its embankment, and the waves rolling.She glanced lightly at the photo and said: "After the dam was blown up, the government shifted the responsibility to the Japanese. They are really smart! Then they created the illusion that the national army filled the dam, so that everyone agreed that it was Japan. Man-made. This is Chiang Kai-shek’s biggest secret, a forbidden zone that no one dares to touch, but have you ever thought about it, other than the government’s scandals, there are other reasons for it?”
Sandie didn't speak, Bai Zhu continued: "The father of the old head of Ji's family works in the Yellow River Committee, and the Yellow River Committee lives by the Yellow River. On the day when the embankment broke, people witnessed the dragon floating into the sky, and this matter was quite a commotion. Big. The government immediately blocked the news, ordered all newspapers not to publish the incident, and destroyed most of the documents, and sealed a small part. This stack of newspapers belonged to the sealed part until the old owner transported them from the archives come out."
"For such supernatural and mysterious events, the government generally blocks the news. The purpose is to avoid panic among the people, to promote science, and to oppose strange forces and chaos. It is understandable. Even now, it is the same."
"If the government can make the government feel like facing a big enemy, then the incident of the dragon floating into the sky is probably true." Bai Zhu said, "Judging from the documents and records left by the old Patriarch's father, old Patriarch, and previous Patriarch, this kind of It's not just once or twice. Dragons, that's what we've been trying to find, but we've never found. We don't know if it's a creature or something else, and we're just looking, forever, generation after generation. Thousands of years have passed, and they still haven't been found."
"So the Bai family wants to slay the dragon? Why do you want to slay the dragon? You don't even know what a dragon is."
"Dragon slaying is just a way of conquering. This dragon is not the other dragon. The dragon in our mouth refers to the kind of supernatural power we are looking for. Because it is mysterious and unknown, we imagine it as a dragon and give it The name. Our purpose is to find it, conquer it, and use it for me."
Sandie smiled, and the car finally drove off the viaduct. The snow was spread on the holly tree, a thin layer that was about to melt.Sandie looked at the fast-moving scenery and said, "You guys are really ambitious, but you are also awe-inspiring."
"Ambition stems from greater desires, and interests, and a deep belief in them. You will understand, Mr. Ambassador."
The car drove through a section of the road near the water, and there were mountains next to it. The roadside was full of neat red shirts and pine trees, and there was a long pebble beach by the water.After driving for a while, the car stopped at the foot of the mountain, and the driver reminded: "The mansion is here."
After getting out of the car, Sanchai gathered up his coat and wrapped the scarf behind his back.He stood at the bottom of the mountain with his pockets on and looked up. A villa was erected in the middle of the mountain, buried in snow, as if it had grown directly from the stone.There is a pond of hot spring next to it, and a circle of plum trees is planted, and the steam rises.
Such a building is indeed majestic and solemn, and it is the style that a gang leader should have.Bai Zhu went up the stairs with three stacks, and the steward of the mansion had been waiting for a long time.The snow had been cleared away, and in the garden, the bushes stretched out tall single branches, with a few leaves hanging from the top.
"Are there any other guests in the mansion?" Bai Zhu asked, and the steward helped her carry the suitcase.
"There is a lady living in the museum. Someone from the Tang family came over a while ago and said they would send that lady here to live temporarily."
Bai Zhu stopped and asked, "The Tang family? Which Tang family?"
"Under Lulang's sect, the head of the family is Tang Lin. The one who lives in the hall now is his sister, Ms. Tang Chu."
