Chapter VII
Since the relaunch ceremony of the Z-Sally project ended, every day of scientific research tasks has been like a tsunami rushing towards Xu Zhan.
He has to set the plan, the technology needs him, and the allocation of funds needs him to have a headache. If it weren't for Song Qinghui who could still help him from time to time, Xu Zhan felt that he would have lost his vest in minutes.
Xu Zhan didn't know when the last time he slept well, probably the few seconds when he went to the toilet and took a nap.
If Song Qinghui calls him to go to KTV now, Xu Zhan will definitely order a song called "Borrow from the Sky for Another 500 Years".
Complaining is complaining, such a fulfilling and meaningful life is what Xu Zhan really wants, so he stays up all night and is painful and happy.
In the blink of an eye, it was five o'clock in the evening. There is no experiment to continue today, everyone leaves after work, and even Song Qinghui is asked by his buddies to go to dinner. Xu Zhan gritted his teeth and decided to seize every minute and second to study hard and resolutely stay at his post.
"Ah Zhan, pay attention to rest, don't work too hard. Before Song Qinghui left, he looked at his blue eyes and couldn't help but persuade.
"I'm really fine, I'll go rest after reading these things!" Xu Zhan hurriedly picked up a few periodicals on the table and waved them at him, indicating that there were really not many things.
Song Qinghui shook his head helplessly, feeling that he still had to order a takeout for this nerd for a while. Otherwise, this guy would have worked until the early hours of the morning in one go, and he would have forgotten to eat.
Sending Song Qinghui away, Xu Zhan sat on the old boss's chair, looking at the journal he had just said "no more, no more", and wanted to cry without tears.
The space-time fusion a few days ago was like it never happened at all.
"Can I only use my 'golden finger' once?" Xu Zhan sighed as he played with the notepad in his hand, which had been restored to a completely old one, and he was still counting on being able to return to that special space and make good use of the time difference to learn more!
After the previous notebook was compressed by the "space-time black hole", it was obviously the first half of the old and the second half of the new. But now, the notepad has returned to its old peeling antique appearance. There was nothing in it except a few pages of experimental outlines and pre-experiment logs.
Xu Zhan, who was immersed in his thoughts, did not notice the sudden ripples on the ceiling, showing a scene of another time and space.
The girl seemed to have just finished taking a shower and walked to the desk with her hands flicking her undried hair while holding a pile of papers.
As soon as she pulled out the chair and sat down, she felt something strange under her buttocks, and the moment she wanted to stand up to check, her figure suddenly flickered and disappeared into time and space.
At the same time, Xu Zhan, who had just thrown the notebook into his arms, suddenly sat down.
The clean and warm scent of soaphorn hit his nose, the girl's soft black hair swept his face, and the legs were in contact with the soft limbs that only girls could have.
Xu Zhan, who is definitely a leader in the takeaway brother, is a busy person who has been addicted to scientific research with Song Qinghui for more than ten years and has suffered from difficulties in life in the next few years, this mother-fetal single dog who has always ignored the existence of another gender in the world, finally at this moment, suddenly understood what it meant to "warm fragrant nephrite full of arms".
Even if it comes at the cost of another pair of symmetrical slaps in the face.
No, no, no, this is not good, maybe I have been under too much pressure recently, and my mental health seems to be in trouble.
Xu Zhan sighed: "Senior Feng Shaojun, your habit of slapping people at every turn is really bad. A girl is so fierce that she won't be able to get married. ”
Feng Shaojun glared, but a little blush climbed on his face, "If I get married or not, I want you to take care of it!"
After all, it was a little girl forty years ago, and the joke still can't be overdone.
Xu Zhan picked up the frozen mouse on the wooden table and rolled it on his face, trying to use the frozen mouse to reduce swelling, "I haven't met you in the past few days, I thought we would never see each other in the future." ”
The girl, who was still embarrassed just now, suddenly quieted down when she heard this.
She unconsciously scratched an old mark on the table with her fingernails and whispered, "I really don't want to see you again if I could." ”
When Xu Zhan heard her say this, he couldn't help but wonder: "Why don't the seniors want to see me?"
Obviously, when she came into contact with 2018 before, she was still very novel.
"On November 19, 1981, on the second anniversary of the start of the Z-Sally project, the person in charge, Feng Shaojun, mysteriously disappeared, and the Z-Sally project was urgently stopped. Feng Shaojun recited the press release verbatim with a wry smile, looked up at him for a moment, "Have you forgotten that 'I' will disappear in less than three years?"
Xu Zhan suddenly realized, hurriedly opened the folder in the laptop, turned the computer screen to her, and said: "Senior, we can check the disappearance together, you see, this is the information related to you that I found in the past few days, and it is written on it......"
Feng Shaojun stretched out his hand to stop his words, turned his head and didn't look at the content on it.
"There's no doubt that the Z-Sally project is of high value. It was made clear in the news that my disappearance led to the suspension of the Z-Sally project. I think I must have not done enough handover and left important information behind before I disappeared, which is why this situation happened. I think you're going to find out about this these days. ”
Xu Zhan was silent, Feng Shaojun's reasoning was very correct. Previously, the "deity" had already discovered that Feng Shaojun did not leave the most critical part of the information.
It's said to be a reboot, but this project is actually a complete overturn and a new one.
"So if you are an investor and learn about this situation, what should be your first reaction?" Feng Shaojun suddenly turned his head, propped his hands on the desk, and looked directly into Xu Zhan's eyes.
To answer this question, you don't need to think too much. Xu Zhan replied almost immediately: "Find Feng Shaojun, or find that part of the missing core information." ”
Feng Shaojun nodded, took his hand away from the desk, and walked slowly on the wooden floor in front of the desk.
"As you can deduce, the investors of the Z-Sally project will definitely do everything they can to find me, or that information. I believe that over the years, all parties should have not stopped searching for me, but for forty years, they have not found me. So now we have to re-select a new group of people to start the Z-Sally project again. ”
"Xu Zhan, have you ever thought about under what circumstances a person can be completely found?"
Listening to her question, Xu Zhan fell into deep thought again. Forty years ago, the exchange of information was not as convenient as it is today, but with the telegraph and telephone, there was nothing that could not be reached on the other side of the world in a single day. Although transportation didn't require ID verification as it does today, finding a person is not extremely difficult.
"Before deciding to spend a lot of money to restart the Z-Sally project, the management should have confirmed your whereabouts again. Xu Zhan nodded in agreement, "I don't know if you ran out of the country." After all, the Z-Sally project was also in cooperation with the United States at that time. ”
If it was going abroad and changing the name and surname, in that era, it was indeed no different from the evaporation of the world. Maybe it was the management or some foreign company that took a fancy to her ability and poached her. "Going abroad......" Feng Shaojun was stunned for a moment, and then said firmly, "I love my motherland, and I want to stay in this land and dedicate my life." ”
Her skill in saying shameful lines at every turn is really amazing.
Xu Zhan silently spit out in his heart. However, looking at Feng Shaojun's character, with a bit of pedantic and patriotic appearance, maybe he will not be able to buy it for a little profit. Feng Shaojun sighed and asked, "Xu Zhan, have you ever thought of a possibility...... Maybe I disappeared into some 'space-time rift'?"
Xu Zhan suddenly understood, "You think...... You may have had an accident in this time-spanning data room, so ......"
Feng Shaojun bowed slightly.
"If that's the case...... No wonder you don't want to see me anymore. Xu Zhan smiled bitterly and grabbed his hair. If Feng Shaojun did disappear because she was lost in the gap in time, then it was too dangerous for her to come to 2018 as a visitor. In that case, if we destroy the opportunity to let her cross, can we avoid her disappearance?
The two of them looked at the brown notepad on the table.
At this moment, Xu Zhan's mobile phone rang suddenly, and both of them couldn't help but be startled. Feng Shaojun stared at the small piece of iron on the desk, and was amazed when he saw that its black surface suddenly glowed and appeared.
Have all 2018 TVs evolved like this?
Feng Shaojun used a search engine to search and learn a lot of "why", but obviously did not thoroughly understand all modern common sense, including mobile phones and prices.
Xu Zhan, on the other hand, looked at the "takeaway/express" mark that appeared under the caller ID, and wondered for a while, could it be that "he" bought something before?
No, why do phone calls come in? Isn't this a special area? Isn't there a time and space confusion when calls are made here?
Eventually, he got on the phone.
"Hey, hello. ”
"Hello, your takeaway has arrived, I am now at the door of the No. 7 laboratory building, can you come down and pick it up by yourself?"
He didn't order it.
As if sensing Xu Zhan's hesitation, the takeaway brother wittily picked up the list and read the words in the remarks: "'Nephew, eat well'." ”
"Huh?" Xu Zhan looked confused.
Seeing that Xu Zhan had misunderstood, the takeaway brother hurriedly explained: "This is the message in the remarks......
He's not really taking advantage of this customer.
"Thank you, someone else ordered it for me. I'll take it now. Xu Zhan hung up the phone, slightly embarrassed. is obviously discussing life-and-death matters with others, but he has to leave temporarily for takeout, and he is a little disrespectful to the other party no matter how he thinks about it.
But I didn't answer the takeaway call and didn't feel it, and I immediately felt hungry when I answered the call. Also, time passes much faster in the mirror world than the real time in the outside world, and he should have eaten about an hour ago.
"That, senior, I have a takeaway to pick up, and I'll be back in a while, can you wait a minute?" Xu Zhan said to Feng Shaojun embarrassedly, and then put the notepad in her hand, "I'll come when I go." ”
His eyes sparkled, making Feng Shaojun unable to say no for a while.
As he left, the old signs in the data room disappeared in an instant, and the strange half-new, half-used notepad in his hand also returned to a new appearance.
Feng Shaojun took the notepad in his hand, removed his feet, looked at the ground that had been restored to granite, and knew that he was back in 1979, and his heart was complicated.
