Mountains and seas have a home
Chapter 224
In the base, Ji Yao saw Ji Songlin who was fetching water in front of the coffee machine, stopped and said to him, "Fu Yangxia didn't attend the meeting."
Ji Songlin turned his head and looked at Ji Yao twice, his eyes changed within a few seconds, Ji Yao noticed this change, but he didn't think about it.Hot water was being poured into the cup, and the slanting sunlight shone on the glass bottle like a layer of purple ash.
"Hmm." Ji Songlin continued to look down at the cup in front of him, and he saw the coffee foaming.
"Is that the reaction?" Ji Yao asked.
Ji Songlin turned off the water, and the white froth on the coffee gradually disappeared. He stirred it with a thin spoon, smelled the fragrant fragrance for a while, and said, "Didn't I also attend the meeting?" ?So it's just a miss, what's there to say?"
Ji Yao nodded, and a breeze came in from the four open windows, bringing in a dew-like cool breath, and the heat wave that had roiled all day should subside at this time.He went to the other side and poured himself a glass of ice soda with two slices of fresh lemon.Ji Yao scooped the ice cubes out of the box and threw them in. When he turned his head, he could see two long-tailed tits parked outside the window, combing their dusty feathers.There was a purple halo on the shiny window pane in front of him, the setting sun revealed an orange corner, and a half crescent moon hung in the sky.
"You really have a tacit understanding." Ji Yao said, "But next time you won't be so lucky."
"Didn't you prohibit me from attending the meeting?" Ji Songlin took a sip of coffee, he stood a little far away from Ji Yao, and seemed to be planning to stay in the coffee shop in the evening for a while, maybe he wanted to take a look Sunset.
Ji Yao took a sip of soda water, feeling the tingling sensation on the tip of his tongue being wrapped in air bubbles, he felt that he had lived another day at least.Ji Yao looked at the long-tailed tit and smiled, the wrinkles at the end of his eyes were a little deeper than before: "You'd better not show your face in front of people other than us, it's good for yourself, and it's also good for us. Good. Our group has already disobeyed the orders of the General Administration many times because of you, no matter who you are, please be honest with me."
"You've said this many times." Ji Songlin supported his waist, and he happened to be standing where the window was open, his shirt was blown by the wind, and his sleeves were bulging, like a sail ready to go to sea at any time.
Ji Yao was silent for a while, the setting sun shone on his tanned arms, covering up those criss-crossing scars.Ji Yao saw the lush mountains covered with beeches, his gaze was long and open, the purple halo spread like a drop of water in front of his eyes, and the whole forest seemed to be shrouded in purple smoke.Ji Yao remembered some things he had experienced before, and remembered his former comrades-in-arms.
He gently shook the ice cubes in the glass, the lemon slices dangled and sank to the bottom of the water, and the fine air bubbles slowly rose.This scene is like in a dream.Ji Yao finally said, "I know I've said it many times, but some things need to be said to feel complete. It's like telling a story you like. Once you start, you have to tell it to the end. Only comfortable."
Ji Songlin drank his coffee and turned his head to look at Ji Yao's profile.He rarely regards Ji Yao as his son, and most of the time he only regards Ji Yao as a colleague.Ji Songlin felt that he was far away from him, and Ji Yao could live well without him as a father.
Ji Yao continued: "I have met such a person before, he always told me the story of his three daughters, never tire of it, and always said the same thing every time. At that time, I wondered if he had a mental illness , but when I looked into his eyes, I thought he was the most intelligent scholar in the world. It was a very conflicted state of mind until I became that person myself.”
"What story did he tell you?" Ji Songlin asked.
"I can't remember clearly." Ji Yao looked at the sea for a while and said, "I just remember him telling me that 'what the daughters want is not a wooden house, but a life with me'. If it weren't for the war, he might have to live with his three daughters."
If it weren't for the war.As Ji Yao thought about these words, Edvard Munch's famous painting "The Scream" suddenly appeared in his mind, and he saw darkness in the terrifying mouth in the painting.This is probably his deepest impression of the war.
Ji Songlin nodded his toes, wondering what he was thinking at this moment.After a while, he frowned and looked at the ocean in the distance, the golden sea made him have to squint his eyes.He said, "How's the discussion with the Military Commission going?"
"The more than 100-page decision book has yielded a lot." Ji Yao replied, "All the details have been written in, and there are four ABCD plans, and there is always one that will come in handy. Next, we will wait for the troops to come over. Exciting times are coming soon.”
"The moment of decisive battle." Ji Songlin said, he scanned the golden light at the junction of the sea and the sky from a distance.
Ji Yao smiled slightly, he folded his arms and stood like an oak tree, as if roots had taken root under his feet.Ji Yao swallowed a mouthful of soda water, he directly bit a piece of ice in his mouth, and then swallowed it, and soon he felt that his heart and lungs were freezing and hurting from the ice.Ji Yao thought of "Dream Wedding" for no reason, this piano piece could warm his cold sore place.This person Fu Zhong appeared in Ji Yao's mind again, or in other words, he never disappeared from Ji Yao's mind.He became the inscription engraved on the soul.
The taste of the sparkling water faded away, and the feeling of dry mouth finally disappeared.The setting sun was still the same, hanging below the sky, and it turned the sky into purple and orange.Earth without humans is still beautiful.Ji Yao squeezed the water glass tightly and said, "There is still about a month for us to prepare. During this month, we should think about the future."
In the future, noble people should be full of hope for the future.
Ji Yao planned to leave after drinking a glass of soda water. He rinsed the glass with water, wiped off the water and put it in the cabinet.Before leaving, he told Ji Songlin one thing: "Dragon blood pollution also appeared on the earth after 46 billion years."
"what?"
"Dragon blood pollution also appeared on the earth 46 billion years later." Ji Yao repeated.
Ji Songlin said, "You're joking, right?"
Ji Yao raised his eyelashes and looked at him for a few seconds, but turned and left without answering anything.Ji Yao doesn't want to talk to his father too much, he doesn't like hearing lies from Ji Songlin all the time, Ji Yao hates lies.The long-tailed tit suddenly spread its wings and flew away, the purple halo dissipated as the setting sun deepened, and the beeches all over the mountains and plains returned to their original colors.The sea was humming in a little distance, and a frosty moon hung in the light blue sky. A whale leaped out of the water, then sank into the water in an instant, and disappeared.
Holding the report card in his hand, Zhu Min slid down a little and lay on the chair.Zhu Min rested his head on the back of the chair. He held the paper up to his eyes for a while, then closed his eyes and covered his face with the paper.A few seconds later, someone lifted the report card on his face, Zhu Min had to open his eyes under the stimulation of the light, and saw a beautiful boy's face through the narrowed slit.He knew who the boy was, Zhu Min laughed, moved his body up, and said, "Why are you here?"
Dawn moved a chair and sat down beside him. There were rollers under the chair. He just sat on the chair and slid around, saying, "It's just a few steps away. I miss you, so come and have a look."
"Don't always say you miss me, I'll take it seriously." Zhu Min put his hands on his stomach, laying on the chair with peace of mind, and talked to Dawn with his eyes closed, "I'm also distracted when I'm doing experiments."
Dawn looked at Zhu Min silently for a while, but Zhu Min just closed his eyes peacefully and stretched out the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.Dawn stroked his hair, slid the chair a little closer, looked down at Zhu Min's face and said softly, "It's obviously me who was distracted by the experiment."
Hearing this, Zhu Min raised his eyelashes, looking as if he hadn't woken up after being drunk.He lay there like this and stared at Dawn for a long time, Zhu Min knew that there were many emotions in Dawn's gaze, no matter what time it was, Zhu Min could always detect Dawn's gaze.He raised his hand with a smile, and Dawn naturally raised his hand and patted his palm.Zhu Min didn't take his hands back, neither did Dawn, they put their hands together loosely, neither of them was ready to take them back.
"I learned a new word today called 'Lianji'. I think the word 'I miss you' should be called 'Lianji' in Chinese. Am I right?" Dawn turned the chair, using a non-standard Chinese chatted with Zhu Min.
Zhu Min smiled and was silent for a while, he saw Dawn's blue eyes, Zhu Min felt that these blue eyes were like the water of Lake Ontario more than once, and he would linger on these eyes for a long time every time.Zhu Min couldn't tell Dawn that a Chinese word actually has many meanings, not only the literal meaning, but also the emotional meaning.Zhu Min finally just nodded and said, "That's right."
He raised his hands and sat up, leaning on the armrests.Dawn's fingers tightened the moment Zhu Min withdrew his hand. This was his instinctive action. He wanted to grab Zhu Min's hand, but he couldn't.Dawn curled up his fingers, and laughed after hearing Zhu Min's affirmative answer.He slid his chair around a few times, watched Zhu Min tidy up those report sheets with his body sideways, and asked, "Did you encounter any trouble?"
"Well, there are things that are difficult to deal with." Zhu Min never hides anything from Dawn, "We also found dragon blood pollution on the other side of the earth, and the epidemic has spread, and some people have died because of it. This is not a good thing This is also the news I just learned, I didn't expect that the dragon's blood would be polluted to the Arctic Ocean. We have just developed the first tube of reagents, and the efficacy of the medicine has not yet been verified, and this is a big trouble."
Zhu Min was sorting out the documents while talking, and occasionally he stopped to make gestures or shook his head.There were people working in the lab, but it was still quiet.Dawn stopped the game of sliding the chair, pursed his lips and thought.His eyes followed Zhu Min around, without moving away from him for a moment.Zhu Min noticed Dawn's gaze. He was holding a few test kits and was about to put them into the cabinet. He looked back at Dawn and said with a smile, "Why are you staring at me?"
Dawn looked away guiltily, started to slide up the chair again, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I didn't stare at you. I was just thinking about the dragon's blood contamination. Can I help you?"
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Zhu Min's face, and quickly turned his face away, and continued to play with the wheels under the chair legs as if nothing had happened.Zhu Min understood what he meant, turned around and put the kits into specific positions one by one, thought for a while and said, "How is your neuromedicine project going?"
Dawn didn't expect him to change the subject, so he pouted his mouth and replied, "It's almost there. I don't want to continue this. Let's talk about the rest later, or wait until we get back and do it slowly."
"I haven't asked you about neurosis for a long time," Zhu Min took off his gloves after locking the cabinet, walked back to the chair and sat down, and stepped on Dawn's chair leg, once and for all Help him roll the wheel, "How's the progress?"
Zhu Min helped Dawn slide the chair, pulling it far and close.Dawn propped up his hands, as if enjoying Zhu Min's service.He looked into Zhu Min's eyes and smiled, saying, "A lot of progress has been made, especially in the treatment of PTSD and phobias."
After that, he looked around, as if he was looking for something, finally he looked back, spread his hands and said: "Thanks to the commander's neural model, he is a very good experimental subject. He's saved. I dare say that a large number of people in the 'Retrospective Project' will definitely need my new research results, and the aftereffects of war and stress trauma will torture them for a long, long time."
Zhu Min nodded, expressing his agreement with Dawn's statement.After a while, he asked again: "Is there anything else you have to be busy with recently?"
Dawn thought about it carefully, then shook his head.Zhu Min and him looked at each other for a few seconds, making sure Dawn wasn't lying, then slid his chair close to him, stopped, and said, "Then can you come and work with me? It's in a lab here, let's..."
"Of course." Dawn agreed before Zhu Min finished speaking. He leaned forward, his arms propped up on the chair, stretched straight, and he sat face to face with Zhu Min like this. Thinking about doing that."
Zhu Min let out a long sigh, as if he suddenly realized.Dawn didn't avoid Zhu Min's gaze this time, his active and direct gaze made Zhu Min suddenly nervous, his heart felt a little cold, but his skin was heating up.Zhu Min felt as if he had fallen into a trap.
Dawn still sat in front of Zhu Min like that, but they were not far apart.Zhu Min stepped on Dawn's chair, but he didn't push people away. Zhu Min seemed to like talking to Dawn like this, and he didn't feel uncomfortable.They all tacitly agreed that no one left the other.Zhu Min and Dawn talked for a while, and then Dawn went to the laboratory next door to move his things to Zhu Min's workshop, and set up a home on another laboratory bench.Zhu Min looked at Dawn and smiled, got up and took off the coat hanging on the wall: "Would you like to go for a walk on the sea?"
He didn't need to think about it and knew Dawn would say yes.Dawn went to put on a down jacket and took the elevator to the sea with Zhu Min. The North Pole was still in the midst of daylight, and the glare of the sun was blowing along with the cold wind.They had applied antifreeze beforehand, but they were still shivering from the cold.Zhu Min wrapped the big scarf he won from Dawn last time around his neck, put his hands in his pockets, and stood on the snowy field looking at the dark blue water full of ice floes for a while.
Dawn tied a beautiful knot on his new scarf, and the sun made him want to cry, so he turned his back and let out a breath, and jumped on tiptoe to warm himself up.Then they walked together along a newly built road to the building complex standing on the snow field. Under the roadbed, heating pipes were laid to prevent the road from freezing and affecting the traffic of vehicles-now the building complex has become a military base. In the distance is the warship port named "Diana". The military fleet has not yet arrived, but the fleet of the Time Bureau has already settled here.
"Dawn." Zhu Min said suddenly when he was approaching the roadblock. He was clutching his pockets and turned to look at Dawn's golden hair in the cold wind. "Why did you join the 'backtracking plan'?"
Dawn was stunned for a moment, it seemed that this was the first time he was asked this question.Dawn tilted his head and thought for a while, and wanted to speak a few times, but the breath he exhaled quickly drifted in the wind.He pondered silently for a long time before answering: "When I heard about this great project, I felt that I should try it out. Maybe it could add a thrilling stroke to my future resume. That's how I signed up. Then the government chose me."
Zhu Min laughed when he heard what he said, and raised his eyebrows: "It's that simple?"
"Yeah, it's that simple, I just want to add some luster to my job resume." Dawn waved his arms indifferently, and lowered his head to step on the icy road, "But now it seems that it's more than just adding luster It's that simple."
There was a roadblock in front of it, and there was a closed iron gate with a sign in red on a white background.Zhu Min raised his head and looked at the door, the sunlight made him unable to open his eyes.The guard at the gate came to ask him for his documents, and the two were soon let through.Dawn walked in next to Zhu Min, and several Humvees painted with white camouflage quickly passed in front of him, with heavy machine guns standing on the carriages behind them.Dawn smelled war in the distant convoy of Humvees, and he heard gunships circling low.
Zhu Min continued the topic just now: "When we first participated in this project, everyone's idea was very simple, just a small idea. But now we are all going to be heroes, and the future of mankind suddenly It's in our hands."
Dawn shrugged, his pale eyebrows raised, his blue eyes brightened by sunlight and snow: "Who would have thought? I never thought I'd be a hero. 'Project Backtracking' It forced me to develop a quick cure for mental illness, and I didn’t expect to open up a new field when I boarded the coordinate system. I can only say that this world is wonderful, and the times make heroes.”
"The world is wonderful." Zhu Min said.
"Why did you join the 'backtracking project'?" Dawn asked while looking at Zhu Min's profile.
Zhu Min narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, then heaved a sigh of relief and said, "I didn't join the vanguard team of the 'backtracking plan', I was a member of the reserve team. But I am the commander's attending doctor, and he wrote the approval document." I was transferred from the reserve team. At that time, I didn’t expect that I was staying in the Chengdu Medical Center, and suddenly a paper approval was issued, and I hurriedly got on the tour cabin and came here.”
"It seems that our initial thoughts were very simple, and no one thought that things would develop into what they are today." Dawn spread his hands, and then clasped them again.
Zhu Min looked at the whitish blue sky, the atmosphere is always so pure and white, leading to space: "Who would have thought that a black hole would appear so suddenly, and human beings would step into the era of interstellar immigration in one step? Everything was fine a year ago."
Dawn rolled his eyes and smiled: "If I hadn't been on the ship 'Retrospective Project', I wouldn't have been able to meet you. Dr. Zhu, meeting you is a lucky thing."
Zhu Min turned his head and looked into Dawn's eyes: "For me, meeting you is also a lucky thing. It took a lot of good luck for us to get to know each other. It was a coincidence and fate."
At that time, they all felt that fate is a subtle thing, which is more elusive than any abstract philosophy, but simpler and clearer than all concrete objects.
"When did we first meet?" Dawn asked, they were walking along a straight road to the interior of the military base.Armored vehicles and artillery vehicles gradually increased, and a black tower reaching the sky stood at the end of this avenue. Although it was actually far away, it still felt as if it was close at hand.
Zhu Min frowned and thought about it carefully, but he didn't remember it, and finally replied in a hesitant tone: "I think it's probably in the laboratory on the coordinate device?"
"I can't remember." Dawn said, shaking his head.
The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and finally laughed together, the past time is not so important, what is important is that they are living well at this moment.They walked along the sidewalk along the roadside and crossed the intersections to the direction where the black tower stood. No matter how fast or slow they walked, the tower always stopped in front of them.Zhu Min didn't go after the Black Tower, he stopped when he came to an empty square, and watched the sun just hang over the top of the Black Tower, so that it drowned the spire.
This kind of scenery makes people feel shocking, as if the black tower is holding up the sun, or the crown on the head of the goddess is radiating light.Zhu Min folded his arms to keep warm, and said, "Let's name this road Sunset Boulevard."
Dawn looked back at the way he came, and then faced the sunny open field ahead, raised his hand to cover the light, and said with a smile, "The 'Sunset Boulevard' in Los Angeles?"
Zhu Min shook his head: "The 'sunset' I said just refers to the place where the sun sets."
"Will the Arctic sun set here?"
"Yes, the polar day is coming to an end, and the sun will set from here, bringing a short alternation of day and night to the polar regions. Then the days get shorter and shorter, the nights get longer and longer, and finally the half-year-long night comes."
Dawn thought of the news released by the Observatory and Meteorological Observatory not long ago that the polar day in the North Pole was coming to an end.Dawn thought of the night, they walked out of the light, and then stepped into the boundless darkness.
A plane landed on the parking platform above the square, and Dawn looked up for a while before seeing Ji Yao in uniform coming out of it.Ji Yao wore black sunglasses and lowered his head to put on the hat with the giant eagle tree.He saw two people standing in the square below, took off his sunglasses and stopped for a while, the light forced him to squint his eyes.Ji Yao stared at the two people for a while, and recognized that they were Zhu Min and Dawn.Zhu Min was waving at him, as if he had come to pick up the plane specially.
Ji Yao turned around, put on her sunglasses again and left.Zhu Min lowered his head and blinked his stinging eyes, and said to Dawn, "We should also get a pair of sunglasses."
Dawn raised an eyebrow.
Ji Yao met Geng Shuming in the geological center of the submarine base: "Are you back?"
Geng Shuming walked into the closed door of the address center in a gray-blue jacket, followed by Shao Zhesheng.Shao Zhesheng looked energetic, and he saluted Ji Yao as soon as he entered the door. He helped Geng Shuming carry a few boxes, which were quite heavy.Geng Shuming turned his head and lightly reminded Shao Zhesheng, and then reached out to shake hands with Ji Yao: "I just got off the 'Old Fox', and a new group of people went up, and now it's my turn to stay in the submarine base."
"Well, I just came back from the equator." Ji Yao replied, he took off the scarf tucked into his collar, and put it on an empty chair beside him.Ji Yao didn't take off his hat, nor did he smile. The hat made him look majestic and full of masculinity.
"Did you find anything after cruising around?" Geng Shuming asked. He walked to the table, took off the backpack on his back and put it on the table, and looked around the surrounding environment.
Ji Yao didn't care about Geng Shuming's exploring tone, he always respected this geological expert: "We found a lot of good things, and we also encountered the Dragon King thirteen times, in these thirteen times, we have almost lost all The details of the Dragon King have been found out."
Shao Zhesheng stood aside, holding a white towel in his hand, wringing out the water and wiping the table.Shao Zhesheng turned his head to look at Ji Yao for a while, and he saw the commander's calm eyes.No matter what time Ji Yao can always keep calm, as if everything can be dealt with calmly, the crisis he said is not like a crisis, but a small matter that can be easily resolved in the next second .Shao Zhesheng was silent for a while, then folded the towel and hung it on the faucet.
"I heard that many executives and researchers died during this period." Geng Shuming showed a regretful expression, he clasped his fingers, looked up at Ji Yao's expression, "I'm very sorry."
Ji Yao was silent, and the entire geological center fell into silence, as if waiting for someone to come, but those people would never come.Ji Yao took off the gloves, folded them and put them on the table, then he nodded slightly and said, "They are all real heroes."
Except for this sentence, he didn't say any more words. Sometimes a sentence contains more meaning than ten thousand sentences.Ji Yao looked at a huge copper globe at the end of the geological center, which seemed to be a black tombstone, standing above the rising pedestal.There is not only one tombstone, but many places on this earth can look like this in people's imagination.Ji Yao felt a little confused after Geng Shuming expressed his regret to the sacrificed executives. He didn't know why he came here, and what was the real meaning of all this.
He skipped this topic after tens of seconds of silence. Before commemorating the heroes, he had more important things to do: "I want to look at the data on the Arctic seabed crust. Especially the ones before and after the last earthquake. Track Record Report."
Geng Shuming took out a manila paper bag from his backpack, unsealed it, and took out a paper report from it. While he was doing these actions, Shao Zhesheng had already turned on the computer and retrieved the relevant files. It seemed that they were already prepared. of.Ji Yao took the stack of papers Geng Shuming handed him, and looked down.Geng Shuming asked: "Is there something wrong? Why do you suddenly want to check the data on the Arctic seabed alone?"
Ji Yao put down the paper and asked Shao Zhesheng to open the holographic projection pool. After turning the map, he pointed at a crack with a pointer, as if presiding over a meeting in a tactical operation center: "Is the epicenter of the last major earthquake here?" ?”
"Yes, that place was quite shaken at that time, and the epicenter was there." Geng Shuming looked at the edge of the projection pool, and stretched out his hand to roughly draw a range, "The extreme earthquake area is about this big, beyond Imagine. If the entire undersea base was not taken into the black hole, it would have become a pile of dilapidated ruins, and it is really close to the epicenter."
The black hole Geng Shuming mentioned was the pendant of the necklace hanging around Ji Yao’s neck. Geng Shuming had seen the magic of that pendant more than once. After learning that a controllable black hole was compressed in the pendant, he immediately Went to Ji Songlin to discuss this topic.Like any scholar, Geng Shuming is always full of exploration for new things. In his eyes, the world is just a land for people to cultivate.
"What's the cause of the earthquake? I've read your previous reports. Is it just caused by simple plate movement? I hope you don't try to hide the truth, it's not good for you." Ji Yao took off his hat and wiped his hair on the ground Going back, he didn't go to see the two geologists, but his sternness could be felt without eye contact.
This time it was Shao Zhesheng who answered: "Yes, it was indeed just a disaster caused by plate movement. The earth wanted to loosen its muscles and bones, so a big earthquake happened like this. It can be said that the two plates were fighting fiercely. We observed There was a noticeable shift."
Ji Yao raised his eyelashes and looked at Shao Zhesheng. He only needed one glance to tell whether the other party was lying or telling the truth.Shao Zhesheng didn't avoid Ji Yao's gaze, his right hand clasped his left wrist, and he used a standard standing posture. He was very disciplined in front of the commander.There was a time when he wasn't afraid of the commander before, but now Shao Zhesheng felt that Ji Yao had changed, and he couldn't tell exactly where it changed, but he just didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Ji Yao anymore.
"When the earthquake happened, did you observe any abnormal changes in seawater? I don't want to talk about tsunamis, I know that. I want to hear about other things, such as the huge abyss formed after the crust of the seabed was torn apart. Is there any seawater coming from there? The place is leaking, or something else. I want to hear this." Ji Yao said, he scanned the report papers one by one, and then lifted his eyes to the projection pool.Ji Yao turned on the simulation animation and slowed down to check the whole process of the earthquake recorded by Xinghe.
Geng Shuming retrieved the data on the floating screen. He said that he was going to check the database of the Oceanic Administration about the problem of sea water.Ji Yao waited for a while, and when he brought the projection closer, Geng Shuming handed over another document.Ji Yao swiped the screen twice, and he quickly found what he wanted.Ji Yao stared at a table for a while, and then saw in the text below: "Sea water poured into the crack, forming a huge vortex on the sea surface, which lasted for 30 seconds, and finally disappeared. The reason for the disappearance is unknown." Such a sentence .
Ji Yao underlined that sentence with a red pen, and then he went to look at the form above.This is a comparison table of sea levels near the North Pole before and after the earthquake, but the values before and after the earthquake did not change much, and the tide gauges stationed on the coast did not send any warnings.Geng Shuming propped himself up, stared at the form for a while, touched his chin, pushed up his glasses, and said, "There seems to be nothing wrong?"
Ji Yao folded the documents and stood up straight. He tapped his fingers twice, turned to look at the two of them and said, "Do you know why I came here in person today? That's because I received a notification from the North Pole. They told me that the epidemic of dragon blood contamination broke out there. In the Arctic 46 billion years later, some people were infected with this strange disease, and there is a tendency to spread it on a large scale. So I got I’m here to ask you, is there any problem with the sea water here?”
Shao Zhesheng's eyes widened, he stared at Ji Yao in a daze, but Ji Yao didn't stare at him.Geng Shuming supported the handrail of the projection pool, and raised his chin in surprise. It could be seen that he was also hit in the heart by the sudden news.
Professor Geng nodded his head thoughtfully, he waited for Ji Yao to finish speaking, but Ji Yao had already finished speaking.Geng Shuming frowned, and he would frowned when he was nervous: "I just came down from space, and the ground has changed a lot?"
"Oh yeah, it's changed in a blink of an eye, and we're still panting behind the ass of time to catch up. Listen, this thing is not a joke, we have to think about how the dragon's blood is polluted 46 billion years later Yes, where did it go?" Ji Yao emphasized.
The two scholars had to be vigilant immediately, the dragon's blood pollution scared away the slack thief in their minds.Shao Zhesheng's nerves were tense at this moment, as if he could go surfing on a windsurfing board in a second.Geng Shuming began to look at the reports and projections seriously, and there was another piece of land in this world waiting for people to cultivate it.Shao Zhesheng rubbed his chin and thought for a while, and then expressed his own thoughts: "Did the sea water flow over here?"
Ji Yao turned to look at him, Shao Zhesheng gesticulated twice, then raked his curly hair, and added: "There are time loopholes everywhere in this place. When the space is folded, it's normal for some seawater to leak through."
"There was a big hole in the earth's crust," said Geng Shuming, who zoomed in on the projection and pointed his index finger on a cone-shaped crack. "It split into two continents, as easily as God tearing his toast." Bread. But no magma sprayed up, nothing."
Ji Yao reopened the report card of the Oceanic Bureau, his gaze stayed on the sentence "a huge vortex was formed", then he raised his head, and the frame of his glasses was shining with light.Ji Yao pursed his lips and thought for a while, then asked a question he knew the answer to: "Under what circumstances does the sea water form a vortex?"
"It's like the sink in the kitchen, you take the plug off and the water all piles up and goes down that little drain hole and it forms a vortex."
"So I can think that this big crack is the sewer, and the seawater is the dirty water in the sink. Once the crack appears, the seawater will fall down due to gravity. Is that so?" Ji Yao made a rendering model on the screen. He used The finger guides the sea water to flow down.
Shao Zhesheng saw the growing eddies on the simulated animation, like ripples in a lake.Geng Shuming nodded, indicating that this was the reason.But he didn't make a sound at this time, but stopped to think about the relationship inside, although he had thought about it before, but in the end it was nothing.Now Ji Yao's words picked up the things that he had left behind at the beginning, patted the dust and continued to study.The shadow the Dragon King cast on them was too great, as long as it didn't appear for a day, everyone would have to live in a nightmare.
"If the sea water flows down here," Shao Zhesheng stepped forward and gestured with his fingers. He is now standing ten centimeters away from Ji Yao. Yes, the sea water falls down like a waterfall, and will be evaporated when it reaches a certain depth. But I really want to know why there is no magma sprayed up? The crack that leads directly to the mantle layer is still there, and there is no movement, it seems that there is only A deep, empty hole."
Ji Yao took off his glasses and put them on again. Since he went out on a cruise, he seldom wears glasses.Ji Yao nodded and said, "That's exactly what I thought. There's nothing under the crack, it's a dark hole, there's no magma, and there's no mantle layer."
"Nothing." Geng Shuming said, staring at the purple form on the screen.
"Have you ever detected the cracks? What's the situation below?" Ji Yao asked, looking down at the tablet, "Many days have passed, I seem to be
Ji Songlin turned his head and looked at Ji Yao twice, his eyes changed within a few seconds, Ji Yao noticed this change, but he didn't think about it.Hot water was being poured into the cup, and the slanting sunlight shone on the glass bottle like a layer of purple ash.
"Hmm." Ji Songlin continued to look down at the cup in front of him, and he saw the coffee foaming.
"Is that the reaction?" Ji Yao asked.
Ji Songlin turned off the water, and the white froth on the coffee gradually disappeared. He stirred it with a thin spoon, smelled the fragrant fragrance for a while, and said, "Didn't I also attend the meeting?" ?So it's just a miss, what's there to say?"
Ji Yao nodded, and a breeze came in from the four open windows, bringing in a dew-like cool breath, and the heat wave that had roiled all day should subside at this time.He went to the other side and poured himself a glass of ice soda with two slices of fresh lemon.Ji Yao scooped the ice cubes out of the box and threw them in. When he turned his head, he could see two long-tailed tits parked outside the window, combing their dusty feathers.There was a purple halo on the shiny window pane in front of him, the setting sun revealed an orange corner, and a half crescent moon hung in the sky.
"You really have a tacit understanding." Ji Yao said, "But next time you won't be so lucky."
"Didn't you prohibit me from attending the meeting?" Ji Songlin took a sip of coffee, he stood a little far away from Ji Yao, and seemed to be planning to stay in the coffee shop in the evening for a while, maybe he wanted to take a look Sunset.
Ji Yao took a sip of soda water, feeling the tingling sensation on the tip of his tongue being wrapped in air bubbles, he felt that he had lived another day at least.Ji Yao looked at the long-tailed tit and smiled, the wrinkles at the end of his eyes were a little deeper than before: "You'd better not show your face in front of people other than us, it's good for yourself, and it's also good for us. Good. Our group has already disobeyed the orders of the General Administration many times because of you, no matter who you are, please be honest with me."
"You've said this many times." Ji Songlin supported his waist, and he happened to be standing where the window was open, his shirt was blown by the wind, and his sleeves were bulging, like a sail ready to go to sea at any time.
Ji Yao was silent for a while, the setting sun shone on his tanned arms, covering up those criss-crossing scars.Ji Yao saw the lush mountains covered with beeches, his gaze was long and open, the purple halo spread like a drop of water in front of his eyes, and the whole forest seemed to be shrouded in purple smoke.Ji Yao remembered some things he had experienced before, and remembered his former comrades-in-arms.
He gently shook the ice cubes in the glass, the lemon slices dangled and sank to the bottom of the water, and the fine air bubbles slowly rose.This scene is like in a dream.Ji Yao finally said, "I know I've said it many times, but some things need to be said to feel complete. It's like telling a story you like. Once you start, you have to tell it to the end. Only comfortable."
Ji Songlin drank his coffee and turned his head to look at Ji Yao's profile.He rarely regards Ji Yao as his son, and most of the time he only regards Ji Yao as a colleague.Ji Songlin felt that he was far away from him, and Ji Yao could live well without him as a father.
Ji Yao continued: "I have met such a person before, he always told me the story of his three daughters, never tire of it, and always said the same thing every time. At that time, I wondered if he had a mental illness , but when I looked into his eyes, I thought he was the most intelligent scholar in the world. It was a very conflicted state of mind until I became that person myself.”
"What story did he tell you?" Ji Songlin asked.
"I can't remember clearly." Ji Yao looked at the sea for a while and said, "I just remember him telling me that 'what the daughters want is not a wooden house, but a life with me'. If it weren't for the war, he might have to live with his three daughters."
If it weren't for the war.As Ji Yao thought about these words, Edvard Munch's famous painting "The Scream" suddenly appeared in his mind, and he saw darkness in the terrifying mouth in the painting.This is probably his deepest impression of the war.
Ji Songlin nodded his toes, wondering what he was thinking at this moment.After a while, he frowned and looked at the ocean in the distance, the golden sea made him have to squint his eyes.He said, "How's the discussion with the Military Commission going?"
"The more than 100-page decision book has yielded a lot." Ji Yao replied, "All the details have been written in, and there are four ABCD plans, and there is always one that will come in handy. Next, we will wait for the troops to come over. Exciting times are coming soon.”
"The moment of decisive battle." Ji Songlin said, he scanned the golden light at the junction of the sea and the sky from a distance.
Ji Yao smiled slightly, he folded his arms and stood like an oak tree, as if roots had taken root under his feet.Ji Yao swallowed a mouthful of soda water, he directly bit a piece of ice in his mouth, and then swallowed it, and soon he felt that his heart and lungs were freezing and hurting from the ice.Ji Yao thought of "Dream Wedding" for no reason, this piano piece could warm his cold sore place.This person Fu Zhong appeared in Ji Yao's mind again, or in other words, he never disappeared from Ji Yao's mind.He became the inscription engraved on the soul.
The taste of the sparkling water faded away, and the feeling of dry mouth finally disappeared.The setting sun was still the same, hanging below the sky, and it turned the sky into purple and orange.Earth without humans is still beautiful.Ji Yao squeezed the water glass tightly and said, "There is still about a month for us to prepare. During this month, we should think about the future."
In the future, noble people should be full of hope for the future.
Ji Yao planned to leave after drinking a glass of soda water. He rinsed the glass with water, wiped off the water and put it in the cabinet.Before leaving, he told Ji Songlin one thing: "Dragon blood pollution also appeared on the earth after 46 billion years."
"what?"
"Dragon blood pollution also appeared on the earth 46 billion years later." Ji Yao repeated.
Ji Songlin said, "You're joking, right?"
Ji Yao raised his eyelashes and looked at him for a few seconds, but turned and left without answering anything.Ji Yao doesn't want to talk to his father too much, he doesn't like hearing lies from Ji Songlin all the time, Ji Yao hates lies.The long-tailed tit suddenly spread its wings and flew away, the purple halo dissipated as the setting sun deepened, and the beeches all over the mountains and plains returned to their original colors.The sea was humming in a little distance, and a frosty moon hung in the light blue sky. A whale leaped out of the water, then sank into the water in an instant, and disappeared.
Holding the report card in his hand, Zhu Min slid down a little and lay on the chair.Zhu Min rested his head on the back of the chair. He held the paper up to his eyes for a while, then closed his eyes and covered his face with the paper.A few seconds later, someone lifted the report card on his face, Zhu Min had to open his eyes under the stimulation of the light, and saw a beautiful boy's face through the narrowed slit.He knew who the boy was, Zhu Min laughed, moved his body up, and said, "Why are you here?"
Dawn moved a chair and sat down beside him. There were rollers under the chair. He just sat on the chair and slid around, saying, "It's just a few steps away. I miss you, so come and have a look."
"Don't always say you miss me, I'll take it seriously." Zhu Min put his hands on his stomach, laying on the chair with peace of mind, and talked to Dawn with his eyes closed, "I'm also distracted when I'm doing experiments."
Dawn looked at Zhu Min silently for a while, but Zhu Min just closed his eyes peacefully and stretched out the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.Dawn stroked his hair, slid the chair a little closer, looked down at Zhu Min's face and said softly, "It's obviously me who was distracted by the experiment."
Hearing this, Zhu Min raised his eyelashes, looking as if he hadn't woken up after being drunk.He lay there like this and stared at Dawn for a long time, Zhu Min knew that there were many emotions in Dawn's gaze, no matter what time it was, Zhu Min could always detect Dawn's gaze.He raised his hand with a smile, and Dawn naturally raised his hand and patted his palm.Zhu Min didn't take his hands back, neither did Dawn, they put their hands together loosely, neither of them was ready to take them back.
"I learned a new word today called 'Lianji'. I think the word 'I miss you' should be called 'Lianji' in Chinese. Am I right?" Dawn turned the chair, using a non-standard Chinese chatted with Zhu Min.
Zhu Min smiled and was silent for a while, he saw Dawn's blue eyes, Zhu Min felt that these blue eyes were like the water of Lake Ontario more than once, and he would linger on these eyes for a long time every time.Zhu Min couldn't tell Dawn that a Chinese word actually has many meanings, not only the literal meaning, but also the emotional meaning.Zhu Min finally just nodded and said, "That's right."
He raised his hands and sat up, leaning on the armrests.Dawn's fingers tightened the moment Zhu Min withdrew his hand. This was his instinctive action. He wanted to grab Zhu Min's hand, but he couldn't.Dawn curled up his fingers, and laughed after hearing Zhu Min's affirmative answer.He slid his chair around a few times, watched Zhu Min tidy up those report sheets with his body sideways, and asked, "Did you encounter any trouble?"
"Well, there are things that are difficult to deal with." Zhu Min never hides anything from Dawn, "We also found dragon blood pollution on the other side of the earth, and the epidemic has spread, and some people have died because of it. This is not a good thing This is also the news I just learned, I didn't expect that the dragon's blood would be polluted to the Arctic Ocean. We have just developed the first tube of reagents, and the efficacy of the medicine has not yet been verified, and this is a big trouble."
Zhu Min was sorting out the documents while talking, and occasionally he stopped to make gestures or shook his head.There were people working in the lab, but it was still quiet.Dawn stopped the game of sliding the chair, pursed his lips and thought.His eyes followed Zhu Min around, without moving away from him for a moment.Zhu Min noticed Dawn's gaze. He was holding a few test kits and was about to put them into the cabinet. He looked back at Dawn and said with a smile, "Why are you staring at me?"
Dawn looked away guiltily, started to slide up the chair again, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I didn't stare at you. I was just thinking about the dragon's blood contamination. Can I help you?"
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Zhu Min's face, and quickly turned his face away, and continued to play with the wheels under the chair legs as if nothing had happened.Zhu Min understood what he meant, turned around and put the kits into specific positions one by one, thought for a while and said, "How is your neuromedicine project going?"
Dawn didn't expect him to change the subject, so he pouted his mouth and replied, "It's almost there. I don't want to continue this. Let's talk about the rest later, or wait until we get back and do it slowly."
"I haven't asked you about neurosis for a long time," Zhu Min took off his gloves after locking the cabinet, walked back to the chair and sat down, and stepped on Dawn's chair leg, once and for all Help him roll the wheel, "How's the progress?"
Zhu Min helped Dawn slide the chair, pulling it far and close.Dawn propped up his hands, as if enjoying Zhu Min's service.He looked into Zhu Min's eyes and smiled, saying, "A lot of progress has been made, especially in the treatment of PTSD and phobias."
After that, he looked around, as if he was looking for something, finally he looked back, spread his hands and said: "Thanks to the commander's neural model, he is a very good experimental subject. He's saved. I dare say that a large number of people in the 'Retrospective Project' will definitely need my new research results, and the aftereffects of war and stress trauma will torture them for a long, long time."
Zhu Min nodded, expressing his agreement with Dawn's statement.After a while, he asked again: "Is there anything else you have to be busy with recently?"
Dawn thought about it carefully, then shook his head.Zhu Min and him looked at each other for a few seconds, making sure Dawn wasn't lying, then slid his chair close to him, stopped, and said, "Then can you come and work with me? It's in a lab here, let's..."
"Of course." Dawn agreed before Zhu Min finished speaking. He leaned forward, his arms propped up on the chair, stretched straight, and he sat face to face with Zhu Min like this. Thinking about doing that."
Zhu Min let out a long sigh, as if he suddenly realized.Dawn didn't avoid Zhu Min's gaze this time, his active and direct gaze made Zhu Min suddenly nervous, his heart felt a little cold, but his skin was heating up.Zhu Min felt as if he had fallen into a trap.
Dawn still sat in front of Zhu Min like that, but they were not far apart.Zhu Min stepped on Dawn's chair, but he didn't push people away. Zhu Min seemed to like talking to Dawn like this, and he didn't feel uncomfortable.They all tacitly agreed that no one left the other.Zhu Min and Dawn talked for a while, and then Dawn went to the laboratory next door to move his things to Zhu Min's workshop, and set up a home on another laboratory bench.Zhu Min looked at Dawn and smiled, got up and took off the coat hanging on the wall: "Would you like to go for a walk on the sea?"
He didn't need to think about it and knew Dawn would say yes.Dawn went to put on a down jacket and took the elevator to the sea with Zhu Min. The North Pole was still in the midst of daylight, and the glare of the sun was blowing along with the cold wind.They had applied antifreeze beforehand, but they were still shivering from the cold.Zhu Min wrapped the big scarf he won from Dawn last time around his neck, put his hands in his pockets, and stood on the snowy field looking at the dark blue water full of ice floes for a while.
Dawn tied a beautiful knot on his new scarf, and the sun made him want to cry, so he turned his back and let out a breath, and jumped on tiptoe to warm himself up.Then they walked together along a newly built road to the building complex standing on the snow field. Under the roadbed, heating pipes were laid to prevent the road from freezing and affecting the traffic of vehicles-now the building complex has become a military base. In the distance is the warship port named "Diana". The military fleet has not yet arrived, but the fleet of the Time Bureau has already settled here.
"Dawn." Zhu Min said suddenly when he was approaching the roadblock. He was clutching his pockets and turned to look at Dawn's golden hair in the cold wind. "Why did you join the 'backtracking plan'?"
Dawn was stunned for a moment, it seemed that this was the first time he was asked this question.Dawn tilted his head and thought for a while, and wanted to speak a few times, but the breath he exhaled quickly drifted in the wind.He pondered silently for a long time before answering: "When I heard about this great project, I felt that I should try it out. Maybe it could add a thrilling stroke to my future resume. That's how I signed up. Then the government chose me."
Zhu Min laughed when he heard what he said, and raised his eyebrows: "It's that simple?"
"Yeah, it's that simple, I just want to add some luster to my job resume." Dawn waved his arms indifferently, and lowered his head to step on the icy road, "But now it seems that it's more than just adding luster It's that simple."
There was a roadblock in front of it, and there was a closed iron gate with a sign in red on a white background.Zhu Min raised his head and looked at the door, the sunlight made him unable to open his eyes.The guard at the gate came to ask him for his documents, and the two were soon let through.Dawn walked in next to Zhu Min, and several Humvees painted with white camouflage quickly passed in front of him, with heavy machine guns standing on the carriages behind them.Dawn smelled war in the distant convoy of Humvees, and he heard gunships circling low.
Zhu Min continued the topic just now: "When we first participated in this project, everyone's idea was very simple, just a small idea. But now we are all going to be heroes, and the future of mankind suddenly It's in our hands."
Dawn shrugged, his pale eyebrows raised, his blue eyes brightened by sunlight and snow: "Who would have thought? I never thought I'd be a hero. 'Project Backtracking' It forced me to develop a quick cure for mental illness, and I didn’t expect to open up a new field when I boarded the coordinate system. I can only say that this world is wonderful, and the times make heroes.”
"The world is wonderful." Zhu Min said.
"Why did you join the 'backtracking project'?" Dawn asked while looking at Zhu Min's profile.
Zhu Min narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, then heaved a sigh of relief and said, "I didn't join the vanguard team of the 'backtracking plan', I was a member of the reserve team. But I am the commander's attending doctor, and he wrote the approval document." I was transferred from the reserve team. At that time, I didn’t expect that I was staying in the Chengdu Medical Center, and suddenly a paper approval was issued, and I hurriedly got on the tour cabin and came here.”
"It seems that our initial thoughts were very simple, and no one thought that things would develop into what they are today." Dawn spread his hands, and then clasped them again.
Zhu Min looked at the whitish blue sky, the atmosphere is always so pure and white, leading to space: "Who would have thought that a black hole would appear so suddenly, and human beings would step into the era of interstellar immigration in one step? Everything was fine a year ago."
Dawn rolled his eyes and smiled: "If I hadn't been on the ship 'Retrospective Project', I wouldn't have been able to meet you. Dr. Zhu, meeting you is a lucky thing."
Zhu Min turned his head and looked into Dawn's eyes: "For me, meeting you is also a lucky thing. It took a lot of good luck for us to get to know each other. It was a coincidence and fate."
At that time, they all felt that fate is a subtle thing, which is more elusive than any abstract philosophy, but simpler and clearer than all concrete objects.
"When did we first meet?" Dawn asked, they were walking along a straight road to the interior of the military base.Armored vehicles and artillery vehicles gradually increased, and a black tower reaching the sky stood at the end of this avenue. Although it was actually far away, it still felt as if it was close at hand.
Zhu Min frowned and thought about it carefully, but he didn't remember it, and finally replied in a hesitant tone: "I think it's probably in the laboratory on the coordinate device?"
"I can't remember." Dawn said, shaking his head.
The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and finally laughed together, the past time is not so important, what is important is that they are living well at this moment.They walked along the sidewalk along the roadside and crossed the intersections to the direction where the black tower stood. No matter how fast or slow they walked, the tower always stopped in front of them.Zhu Min didn't go after the Black Tower, he stopped when he came to an empty square, and watched the sun just hang over the top of the Black Tower, so that it drowned the spire.
This kind of scenery makes people feel shocking, as if the black tower is holding up the sun, or the crown on the head of the goddess is radiating light.Zhu Min folded his arms to keep warm, and said, "Let's name this road Sunset Boulevard."
Dawn looked back at the way he came, and then faced the sunny open field ahead, raised his hand to cover the light, and said with a smile, "The 'Sunset Boulevard' in Los Angeles?"
Zhu Min shook his head: "The 'sunset' I said just refers to the place where the sun sets."
"Will the Arctic sun set here?"
"Yes, the polar day is coming to an end, and the sun will set from here, bringing a short alternation of day and night to the polar regions. Then the days get shorter and shorter, the nights get longer and longer, and finally the half-year-long night comes."
Dawn thought of the news released by the Observatory and Meteorological Observatory not long ago that the polar day in the North Pole was coming to an end.Dawn thought of the night, they walked out of the light, and then stepped into the boundless darkness.
A plane landed on the parking platform above the square, and Dawn looked up for a while before seeing Ji Yao in uniform coming out of it.Ji Yao wore black sunglasses and lowered his head to put on the hat with the giant eagle tree.He saw two people standing in the square below, took off his sunglasses and stopped for a while, the light forced him to squint his eyes.Ji Yao stared at the two people for a while, and recognized that they were Zhu Min and Dawn.Zhu Min was waving at him, as if he had come to pick up the plane specially.
Ji Yao turned around, put on her sunglasses again and left.Zhu Min lowered his head and blinked his stinging eyes, and said to Dawn, "We should also get a pair of sunglasses."
Dawn raised an eyebrow.
Ji Yao met Geng Shuming in the geological center of the submarine base: "Are you back?"
Geng Shuming walked into the closed door of the address center in a gray-blue jacket, followed by Shao Zhesheng.Shao Zhesheng looked energetic, and he saluted Ji Yao as soon as he entered the door. He helped Geng Shuming carry a few boxes, which were quite heavy.Geng Shuming turned his head and lightly reminded Shao Zhesheng, and then reached out to shake hands with Ji Yao: "I just got off the 'Old Fox', and a new group of people went up, and now it's my turn to stay in the submarine base."
"Well, I just came back from the equator." Ji Yao replied, he took off the scarf tucked into his collar, and put it on an empty chair beside him.Ji Yao didn't take off his hat, nor did he smile. The hat made him look majestic and full of masculinity.
"Did you find anything after cruising around?" Geng Shuming asked. He walked to the table, took off the backpack on his back and put it on the table, and looked around the surrounding environment.
Ji Yao didn't care about Geng Shuming's exploring tone, he always respected this geological expert: "We found a lot of good things, and we also encountered the Dragon King thirteen times, in these thirteen times, we have almost lost all The details of the Dragon King have been found out."
Shao Zhesheng stood aside, holding a white towel in his hand, wringing out the water and wiping the table.Shao Zhesheng turned his head to look at Ji Yao for a while, and he saw the commander's calm eyes.No matter what time Ji Yao can always keep calm, as if everything can be dealt with calmly, the crisis he said is not like a crisis, but a small matter that can be easily resolved in the next second .Shao Zhesheng was silent for a while, then folded the towel and hung it on the faucet.
"I heard that many executives and researchers died during this period." Geng Shuming showed a regretful expression, he clasped his fingers, looked up at Ji Yao's expression, "I'm very sorry."
Ji Yao was silent, and the entire geological center fell into silence, as if waiting for someone to come, but those people would never come.Ji Yao took off the gloves, folded them and put them on the table, then he nodded slightly and said, "They are all real heroes."
Except for this sentence, he didn't say any more words. Sometimes a sentence contains more meaning than ten thousand sentences.Ji Yao looked at a huge copper globe at the end of the geological center, which seemed to be a black tombstone, standing above the rising pedestal.There is not only one tombstone, but many places on this earth can look like this in people's imagination.Ji Yao felt a little confused after Geng Shuming expressed his regret to the sacrificed executives. He didn't know why he came here, and what was the real meaning of all this.
He skipped this topic after tens of seconds of silence. Before commemorating the heroes, he had more important things to do: "I want to look at the data on the Arctic seabed crust. Especially the ones before and after the last earthquake. Track Record Report."
Geng Shuming took out a manila paper bag from his backpack, unsealed it, and took out a paper report from it. While he was doing these actions, Shao Zhesheng had already turned on the computer and retrieved the relevant files. It seemed that they were already prepared. of.Ji Yao took the stack of papers Geng Shuming handed him, and looked down.Geng Shuming asked: "Is there something wrong? Why do you suddenly want to check the data on the Arctic seabed alone?"
Ji Yao put down the paper and asked Shao Zhesheng to open the holographic projection pool. After turning the map, he pointed at a crack with a pointer, as if presiding over a meeting in a tactical operation center: "Is the epicenter of the last major earthquake here?" ?”
"Yes, that place was quite shaken at that time, and the epicenter was there." Geng Shuming looked at the edge of the projection pool, and stretched out his hand to roughly draw a range, "The extreme earthquake area is about this big, beyond Imagine. If the entire undersea base was not taken into the black hole, it would have become a pile of dilapidated ruins, and it is really close to the epicenter."
The black hole Geng Shuming mentioned was the pendant of the necklace hanging around Ji Yao’s neck. Geng Shuming had seen the magic of that pendant more than once. After learning that a controllable black hole was compressed in the pendant, he immediately Went to Ji Songlin to discuss this topic.Like any scholar, Geng Shuming is always full of exploration for new things. In his eyes, the world is just a land for people to cultivate.
"What's the cause of the earthquake? I've read your previous reports. Is it just caused by simple plate movement? I hope you don't try to hide the truth, it's not good for you." Ji Yao took off his hat and wiped his hair on the ground Going back, he didn't go to see the two geologists, but his sternness could be felt without eye contact.
This time it was Shao Zhesheng who answered: "Yes, it was indeed just a disaster caused by plate movement. The earth wanted to loosen its muscles and bones, so a big earthquake happened like this. It can be said that the two plates were fighting fiercely. We observed There was a noticeable shift."
Ji Yao raised his eyelashes and looked at Shao Zhesheng. He only needed one glance to tell whether the other party was lying or telling the truth.Shao Zhesheng didn't avoid Ji Yao's gaze, his right hand clasped his left wrist, and he used a standard standing posture. He was very disciplined in front of the commander.There was a time when he wasn't afraid of the commander before, but now Shao Zhesheng felt that Ji Yao had changed, and he couldn't tell exactly where it changed, but he just didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Ji Yao anymore.
"When the earthquake happened, did you observe any abnormal changes in seawater? I don't want to talk about tsunamis, I know that. I want to hear about other things, such as the huge abyss formed after the crust of the seabed was torn apart. Is there any seawater coming from there? The place is leaking, or something else. I want to hear this." Ji Yao said, he scanned the report papers one by one, and then lifted his eyes to the projection pool.Ji Yao turned on the simulation animation and slowed down to check the whole process of the earthquake recorded by Xinghe.
Geng Shuming retrieved the data on the floating screen. He said that he was going to check the database of the Oceanic Administration about the problem of sea water.Ji Yao waited for a while, and when he brought the projection closer, Geng Shuming handed over another document.Ji Yao swiped the screen twice, and he quickly found what he wanted.Ji Yao stared at a table for a while, and then saw in the text below: "Sea water poured into the crack, forming a huge vortex on the sea surface, which lasted for 30 seconds, and finally disappeared. The reason for the disappearance is unknown." Such a sentence .
Ji Yao underlined that sentence with a red pen, and then he went to look at the form above.This is a comparison table of sea levels near the North Pole before and after the earthquake, but the values before and after the earthquake did not change much, and the tide gauges stationed on the coast did not send any warnings.Geng Shuming propped himself up, stared at the form for a while, touched his chin, pushed up his glasses, and said, "There seems to be nothing wrong?"
Ji Yao folded the documents and stood up straight. He tapped his fingers twice, turned to look at the two of them and said, "Do you know why I came here in person today? That's because I received a notification from the North Pole. They told me that the epidemic of dragon blood contamination broke out there. In the Arctic 46 billion years later, some people were infected with this strange disease, and there is a tendency to spread it on a large scale. So I got I’m here to ask you, is there any problem with the sea water here?”
Shao Zhesheng's eyes widened, he stared at Ji Yao in a daze, but Ji Yao didn't stare at him.Geng Shuming supported the handrail of the projection pool, and raised his chin in surprise. It could be seen that he was also hit in the heart by the sudden news.
Professor Geng nodded his head thoughtfully, he waited for Ji Yao to finish speaking, but Ji Yao had already finished speaking.Geng Shuming frowned, and he would frowned when he was nervous: "I just came down from space, and the ground has changed a lot?"
"Oh yeah, it's changed in a blink of an eye, and we're still panting behind the ass of time to catch up. Listen, this thing is not a joke, we have to think about how the dragon's blood is polluted 46 billion years later Yes, where did it go?" Ji Yao emphasized.
The two scholars had to be vigilant immediately, the dragon's blood pollution scared away the slack thief in their minds.Shao Zhesheng's nerves were tense at this moment, as if he could go surfing on a windsurfing board in a second.Geng Shuming began to look at the reports and projections seriously, and there was another piece of land in this world waiting for people to cultivate it.Shao Zhesheng rubbed his chin and thought for a while, and then expressed his own thoughts: "Did the sea water flow over here?"
Ji Yao turned to look at him, Shao Zhesheng gesticulated twice, then raked his curly hair, and added: "There are time loopholes everywhere in this place. When the space is folded, it's normal for some seawater to leak through."
"There was a big hole in the earth's crust," said Geng Shuming, who zoomed in on the projection and pointed his index finger on a cone-shaped crack. "It split into two continents, as easily as God tearing his toast." Bread. But no magma sprayed up, nothing."
Ji Yao reopened the report card of the Oceanic Bureau, his gaze stayed on the sentence "a huge vortex was formed", then he raised his head, and the frame of his glasses was shining with light.Ji Yao pursed his lips and thought for a while, then asked a question he knew the answer to: "Under what circumstances does the sea water form a vortex?"
"It's like the sink in the kitchen, you take the plug off and the water all piles up and goes down that little drain hole and it forms a vortex."
"So I can think that this big crack is the sewer, and the seawater is the dirty water in the sink. Once the crack appears, the seawater will fall down due to gravity. Is that so?" Ji Yao made a rendering model on the screen. He used The finger guides the sea water to flow down.
Shao Zhesheng saw the growing eddies on the simulated animation, like ripples in a lake.Geng Shuming nodded, indicating that this was the reason.But he didn't make a sound at this time, but stopped to think about the relationship inside, although he had thought about it before, but in the end it was nothing.Now Ji Yao's words picked up the things that he had left behind at the beginning, patted the dust and continued to study.The shadow the Dragon King cast on them was too great, as long as it didn't appear for a day, everyone would have to live in a nightmare.
"If the sea water flows down here," Shao Zhesheng stepped forward and gestured with his fingers. He is now standing ten centimeters away from Ji Yao. Yes, the sea water falls down like a waterfall, and will be evaporated when it reaches a certain depth. But I really want to know why there is no magma sprayed up? The crack that leads directly to the mantle layer is still there, and there is no movement, it seems that there is only A deep, empty hole."
Ji Yao took off his glasses and put them on again. Since he went out on a cruise, he seldom wears glasses.Ji Yao nodded and said, "That's exactly what I thought. There's nothing under the crack, it's a dark hole, there's no magma, and there's no mantle layer."
"Nothing." Geng Shuming said, staring at the purple form on the screen.
"Have you ever detected the cracks? What's the situation below?" Ji Yao asked, looking down at the tablet, "Many days have passed, I seem to be
