Chapter 228: Unfathomable
When Sun Xiang turned into a meteor and fell, Lightning and Lu Ning were drinking, and countless wine bottles were empty around the two. In order to defend Marina City, the two have a lot of business. Now they were relieved of all their city defense duties by the New World Society, and they were suddenly relieved.
But this wine is bitter wine, and the lightning is melancholy all night. He didn't do any of Master's instructions before leaving. The root of the mistake was that Liji was strongly opposed to handing over the exercises she had cultivated. If he hadn't stood on Yu Xiaoyue's side, maybe he wouldn't have fallen into such a passive situation today.
He fell into a deep self-reproach, some bloodthirsty impulse that kept roaring in his veins. No matter how Lu Ning dragged him out to drink, he was worried that he would make some irreparable move.
He is a person who has come from the past, and he knows that extreme states of mind breed demons. Now he can't protect Yu Xiaoyue, at least he has to save the lightning.
It's just that Lu Ning's heart is full of complaints about Sun Xiang. He is different from others, he thinks that Sun Xiang must still be alive. It's a very subtle feeling, a deep understanding of fate over a long period of time. Sun Xiang was so responsible, how could he die quietly in some unknown corner.
"It's just, why are you so inky, and you haven't come back! Lao Tzu has worked for you for nothing!"
Lu Ning sighed, poured another glass for Lightning, and said, "Drink, just drink more, don't think too much!"
Lightning Mumu took the wine glass, and suddenly crushed it in his hand. The white fur on his body suddenly appeared, turning into the image of a giant wolf.
Lu Ning was shocked, his heart was broken, and he was demonic.
So regardless of his safety, he hurriedly pressed the giant wolf's shoulders and shouted: "Lightning, stabilize your state of mind, don't be confused!"
The lightning rolled to get rid of Lu Ning, sniffed his nose and said anxiously: "Master is back, old Lu, come up quickly." β
"Huh, no, it's a good day!"

Xu Yongzhi's side.
After Binhai began to accept scientists from all over the world, Professor Xu led the establishment of the Institute of Spiritual Engineering and Technology. Located in the former Binhai University, the main research direction is the technical use of spiritual power, which is actually a combination of science and metaphysics. Because Reiki is a completely new form of energy, many of its properties are contrary to the basic theories of modern science, so it is difficult to study.
So far, the only research they have been able to draw on is a pulsed aura diffusion cannon and an energy monitoring radar that detects the aura response. Both of these are experimental subjects, and they are still far from actual combat use.
Yu Xiaoyue's policy of favoring scientific research organizations actually made many cultivators dissatisfied. After all, the aura diffusion cannon that was barely created with countless materials and manpower was powerful, but it still needed to be manipulated by cultivators.
And it's quite bulky and can only excite the wind blade. It is not at all as flexible as when a practitioner uses a spell.
The most important thing is that every time it is activated, a priceless Magic Crystal Ball is wasted. You must know that cultivators do not have this kind of restriction, and they can just use up the meditation and return qi after the true yuan is consumed.
Therefore, until now, most people have not thought that the spiritual engineering technology research institute is of little practical significance. In this regard, it is better to cultivate a few more powerful cultivators, and the increase in combat power is more intuitive.
When the New World Association was stationed in Binhai, Xu Yongzhi was actually ready for the institute to be dismantled. However, the few Tsing Yi cultivators transferred by the other party were quite polite. There was no mention of the dismissal.
Last night, he had planned to go for a drink with Lightning Lu Ning. Surprisingly, Lu Long, the president of the New World Society, suddenly summoned him in person and made a very strange request.
The powerful president hopes to visit the research projects that Professor Xu Yongzhi was in charge of. That is, the Littooral Large Hadron Collider.
"That's why. The personable president explained to Xu Yongzhi, "Before the revival of Reiki, the contemptible man was a little science enthusiast. The Coastal Large Hadron Collider project has long admired the name but has not been seen in person. Today is a favoritism to satisfy some of the previous hobbies. I also asked Professor Xu to lead the way. β
Seriously, Professor Xu Yongzhi had a bad impression of Lu Long. He knows the grievances between the Marina and the New World Society. But in any case, he is responsible for the thousands of scientists at the institute. These are the elite of human scientific research, and if they are disbanded, scientific research in this world will not be sustainable.
Lu Long is interested in scientific research, which is good news. Xu Yongzhi pressed the discomfort in his heart and asked, "Where does the elder want to visit?"
The Large Hadron Collider has been shut down for a long time, but it has not been completely abandoned. This is a huge artificial creation with a radius of dozens of kilometers, and Xu Yongzhi can't take Lu Long to visit inch by inch.
Lu Long took out a map, pointed to a circle on it, and said, "That's it." β
Professor Xu looked at it and saw that it was the former Binhai Institute of Particle Physics. Below it is the Large Hadron Collider supertoroid.
More than five years ago, Sun Xiang took out a picture scroll from there.
Countless thoughts flashed through Xu Yongzhi's heart, and he looked up at Lu Long, the chairman with an unpredictable smile on his face.
"Then let's go now. β
~~~~~~
After the revival of Reiki, the Hadron Collider, an expensive experiment, has been shut down. Moreover, on the day that Sun Xiang got the picture scroll, the hyper-torus detection section had a violent explosion due to various accidents, and it was not repaired until it was closed.
Xu Yongzhi took Lu Long and entered the equipment through the temporary maintenance channel. A large number of subsystem units were destroyed beyond recognition by the last accident, and Xu Yongzhi introduced the structure and principles of the unit to Lu Long one by one according to his memory.
But Lu Long didn't seem interested, he left all his men outside the door, and followed Xu Yongzhi alone.
Professor Xu had a faint feeling in his heart that this unfathomable president was looking for something. This is very strange, because if I remember correctly, there are still a few hours, which is the time for Lu Long and Yu Xiaoyue to get married. The president didn't go to prepare for the wedding, and what did he do with himself so deep underground.
"Professor Xu. Lu Long's eyes suddenly lit up, pointed to a small door and asked, "What's in here?"
Xu Yongzhi was silent for a second, he had originally planned to skip this equipment room. But my suspicions all along may be true.
"This is the replacement unit. β
"Turn it on. β
Xu Yongzhi's suspicion was not wrong, Lu Long was looking for the place where Sun Xiang got the scroll that day.
He reluctantly opened the blast door, and it was a mess inside. The accident at that time completely destroyed the energy level separation device and the condensed matter automatic table below. The two are completely dissolved, and their original functions are no longer restored.
Lu Long walked up, pressed his hand on the workbench and was silent. Xu Yongzhi could feel that Lu Long was exuding a strange power.
After a long time, the mysterious president sighed and removed his hand.
"Professor Xu, can you recover here?" he asked, leaning behind his back.
"It's hard. Xu Yongzhi replied, "There are many precision instruments in the separation device that are handmade, and now in this world, I don't know if we can get these people." β
Before Lu Long could say something, three elders suddenly broke in from outside. The chairman looked back at them strangely, it was the three people he sent to spy on Yu Xiaoyue.
They knelt in front of Lu Long and reported what had just happened. Xu Yongzhi's heart moved, and Sun Xiang actually came back.
His fiancΓ©e was robbed, and Lu Long didn't seem particularly angry. Instead, he looked at Xu Yongzhi's reaction with interest and asked, "Professor Xu, do you know this person?" Oh, don't worry, I'm not going to blackmail him. As the president of the New World Association, I don't care to do such a tasteless thing. β
Xu Yongzhi said helplessly: "Yes, I know." β
Lu Long asked again: "Back then, it was this person who took something here, right?"
Xu Yongzhi didn't want to answer this question, but his shocked expression betrayed his true thoughts.
Lu Long smiled: "This is very interesting. Then, let's go and meet this Sun Xiang. β
