After the cliff collapsed, the ground was very chaotic. It can be said that it has directly turned into a chaotic stone forest. There are big and small pieces of stone everywhere.

Thomas has been here before. Although I didn't go deeper, I took a bunch of photos anyway, first-hand photos. Moreover, it was from this place that his gems were found.

Chaotic place, quite laborious to walk. If it weren't for the remote command of the factory director Gao through the phone, he believed that he would not be able to find the helmet.

But the helmet was inside a crack formed by a few stones. Even if you get very close, you can't see it until you get almost close to each other, and you can't see it through the cracks in the stones.

A helmet made mainly of some kind of metal, similar to plastic or resin. Helmets are a very sci-fi genre that is different from all the common helmets on Earth, both ancient and modern. The helmet is open-faced, wrapping around the entire head, including the back of the head and a small part of the back of the neck, and comes with a pair of goggles that can be pushed up and lowered at any time. The goggles are thin crystals, but they feel incredibly strong to the touch, and when put down, they connect seamlessly to the helmet to form a whole.

If he brought the helmet to Thomas and asked directly, Thomas felt that he could see such props on the set of some second- or third-rate science fiction films.

But he is in a barren no-man's land at the moment. And because he deliberately avoided everyone, he was alone in a corner far away from the others. The presence of such a thing here makes people feel very abrupt.

"Put it on and try it. In the mobile phone, Director Gao said.

Thomas put it on with a little doubt. The helmet was supposed to be worn by humans, or at least creatures roughly similar in size, as Thomas found it easy to adjust the lacing. Then he subconsciously pulled down the goggles on his helmet.

A screen suddenly appeared in the air in front of me. Like a movie screen, it appeared in front of him without warning, about two steps away from him. Yes, out of thin air, without warning. A series of unfamiliar symbols appear on the screen, jumping, and pulling down line by line.

The most important thing is that there is such a thing in front of you, but it does not affect your gaze in the slightest. Thomas can still see what's behind the screen through the screen.

His whole body jumped up in fright as literally, and he almost lost the mobile phone in his hand. After a few seconds, Thomas finally realized what he was seeing.

"Retinal projection ......," he said in disbelief. This is a technology on Earth that has only come up with basic logic, and has not even begun concrete experiments. Retinal projection technology has many advantages: information can be integrated into the human body in all aspects, and the screen will not shake due to action. In addition, the image in question is projected directly on top of the macula, so it appears particularly clear. Finally, while giving you a virtual picture, it doesn't prevent your eyes from seeing anything else in reality.

Compared with this kind of thing, such as VR eyes, holographic projection and other things that ordinary people look tall, they have changed from rich and handsome to short and ugly in an instant, too backward, and there are too many problems to be worth mentioning.

Immediately after that, there was a slight crackling sound, and the screen that had just displayed the text turned into a video...... No, not the video, but the scene behind him.

Thomas spun around and immediately understood that this thing was showing the camera behind it.

"This is ......" he took off his helmet, looked around it carefully, and put it back on again. Even Thomas, who is very willing, or very good at accepting new things, will not believe his eyes for a while.

Well, this one went straight from the original Oriental occult to an alien invasion in an instant, and the style of painting changed a little too quickly.

But the truth is undeniable. Even Thomas was quick to recognize the fact that, no matter where the helmet came from, it was clearly something that was ripe for mass production.

Why does this place have such a thing?

Apparently they didn't bring it here. At least Thomas knew, there didn't seem to be a single country on Earth that had started working on this kind of technology. Even if there are really some secret laboratories that Thomas has never heard of secretly researching, they will not be able to come up with such a mature product. In fact, if you can really come up with this kind of thing, it is estimated that there is no need to hide it, and it is more convenient to announce it directly to the world. This kind of thing is very high-tech, and it is by no means a casual copycat.

Moreover, from the structural modeling of this helmet, the use of this retinal projection is added...... From the standpoint of the earthlings, it can be inferred that it is an auxiliary military equipment.

Well, there is only one explanation.

"Director Gao, this is ......"

"Thomas, you want proof, and now you see it. ”

"Are there really aliens?" I can't believe it, but this thing is really real.

"It's more appropriate to understand it as a life from another dimension," said Director Gao. "No, it's not that they came in and started the invasion and destruction, it's just that their stuff somehow ended up here. ”

It turned out that Master Lu Wu ...... Is it fighting this kind of thing? But it feels...... No, Lu Wu, they just closed the door. They don't know exactly what is outside the door. The closed portal malfunctioned, and all the things outside the door (not necessarily creatures) fell into it.

I see, the journey to Kunlun Mountain really has a purpose, not an ordinary trip, but to check whether the portal is closed. Maybe it's in the middle of the check-up...... An accident happened. It is not clear how the accident happened, or what the accident was about. But apparently, it was this accident that caused the previous natural disaster.

But these are not important. Now Thomas understands that Lu Wu belongs to an Eastern mysterious group with a long heritage and cultivates a certain supernatural ability. They have a mysterious and great responsibility to guard the entire civilized world behind them. It's simply ...... That's cool!

"By the way, Thomas, take out the gems. Director Gao said suddenly and seemingly casually.

"Oh?" Thomas said, pulling out the gem. Of course, most of his attention was still on the mysterious retinal projection system. After all, it's an experience like never before.

"Lift it up, lift it up a little higher...... Lift it a little higher, it's okay, put it away. ”

Thomas had no idea what was going on, but he didn't really care. As mentioned earlier, this helmet temporarily attracted most of his attention.

"Director Gao, this thing...... Can I take it back with me?" he asked.

He had expected to be rejected. Because this kind of thing is obviously not a technological product of the earthlings, Lu Wu and the others probably won't allow it to remain in the hands of a person who has nothing to do with their group. And it's fair to say that this thing has an incredible value. Anyone knows that it is very difficult to make a technological product from scratch, but if it is reversed, based on an existing product, the technical aspect is reversed, and the difficulty is immediately reduced geometrically. To put it bluntly, if there is no such situation, then it is simply a matter of paper for the technologically backward countries to catch up with the technologically advanced countries.

The other abilities of this thing are unknown, but this retinal projection alone is extremely important and precious.

"Thomas, I told you to keep it a secret......"

"Yes, but it would be a great waste to hide such a thing. It's not harmful, it's ......" Thomas could hardly find the right words to describe it. "It makes the world a little bit better. ”

Through the mobile phone, the director of the factory on the other side fell silent. I can't tell if he was moved by Thomas's words, or if he was just trying to convince Thomas.

"I was able to ...... That one...... Take it to the lab," Thomas remembered about the lab. Like many conglomerates, his family, in fact, his grandfather, has a very close relationship with some high-tech laboratories. In fact, the group itself has its own laboratories as technical research units. "If you can interpret the technology...... It's obviously of great value......"

"This," Director Gao obviously hesitated. "Thomas, you know you're doing this against our philosophy. We can't meddle in national politics, which would destroy our future. If we use these things to provide to a certain country, then it means that the country is very powerful, and we do not have the ability to control the country. ”

"I," said Thomas, with some excitement. "It will be responsible for making the interpreted technology completely public, so that every country in the world, every human group, can get it if they want it. "This thing will bring progress to the people of the earth.

"But what if someone goes to the source?

"I'll just say, this thing comes from a genius. Thomas scratched his head and thought of a reason to fight all doubts. Everyone who wants to be held accountable will probably feel confused, and of course, everyone who wants to be held accountable cannot overturn this assumption. Human beings on the earth, in fact, have genius worship in their hearts.

Then others will ask who this genius is. Is this genius's name Thomas?"

"Of course not," Thomas knew very well that even if he said so, no one else would believe it for the time being, and his family would not believe it first. Moreover, it was a mule or a horse, and it would be exposed if he was pulled out for a walk, wasn't it? He was not at all confident that he would be able to keep this secret despite the fierce questioning of those curious people (especially the relevant technical experts). "The name of this genius is Gao Shou...... No, it's called Lu Wu!"

……

"Director Chen, this is the latest report. Someone handed me a document.

The young secretary picked up a small stack of printed paper. The paper should be staple into a booklet with a particularly striking title: "Some Cases on the Current Situation of Maritime Smuggling Crimes and the Development Trend of Technological and Covert Crimes."

"Thank you," he thanked in a very polite tone. In front of him was a veteran of the customs anti-smuggling police, surnamed Wu, in his fifties, who had worked in the customs all his life and had very rich experience in fighting smugglers. It can be said that on the side of W City, he is the authority on anti-smuggling. To paraphrase an exaggerated sentence from the customs, no matter what goblin it is, Lao Wu can see through it at a glance. Some people secretly said that if Lao Wu changed his career to smuggling, it is estimated that he will be able to make a fortune in a year or two. He was all too familiar with the various doorways.

"The anti-smuggling situation in recent years has been severe. Old Wu shook his head.

"Hey, haven't you cracked big cases many times, and how many times have you cooperated with brother units to solve big and important cases?"

"The problem is not for outsiders. Lao Wu replied, "There are gains every year, but the ones that are basically those with low technical level or even halfway out of the house are smugglers." Those smugglers, who are the most harmful, the most high-tech, and who are collective, technological, have hardly been hit. ”
