16. Shenyuan
Nina Hot Springs Resort, take the gravel road outside the mining area, to the northeast, less than 200 kilometers.
This is a mountain road, and the further you go inside, the less people are visible, but there is a post office along the way. This post office is open to tourists, and in the remote Arctic Circle, it is also very cool to send a postcard to home or friends.
There are very few vehicles on the road, and it takes more than ten minutes to see a trip, either a self-driving car or a sightseeing car for a tour group. The most convenient way to get to Nina Hot Springs Resort is to take a small plane, which is not a big place and has several small airports.
Ye Mu acted as a tour guide along the way, explaining all the way, and when he came to the post office, Ye Mu stopped the car to refuel, and Ye Xiao pulled Xia Qian into the post office and sent postcards to friends and family......
Ye Mu refueled the car and waited for them outside, when a four-door Wrangler drove over.
"Dude, Chinese?" asked a young man in sunglasses in the driver's seat, opening the window.
"Chinese. Ye Mu smiled and nodded.
"How long do we have to go to the hot spring village?"
"Go straight, it's about twenty or thirty kilometers, not far. Ye Mu rubbed his hands and looked back at the post office, where the two girls were still inside.
"You're also going to the hot spring village?"
"Hmm. Are you visiting from China?"
"Travelling by car. From the Canadian side. Otherwise, together, there will be a response on the road. ”
"No need, wait for someone. "Ye Mu didn't have the habit of getting together, and he didn't know each other, so Ye Mu rejected them.
"This is the post office?"
"Hmm. ”
"Can I send a letter to China?"
"Yes. Just write in English and Chinese. ”
The young man got out of the car, and there were two women and a man who got down together, looking like two couples.
"What do you call my eldest brother? My name is Chen Xing, I don't mean anything else, I came here to travel, and it was rare to see Chinese people......" Chen Xing is a man sitting in the back seat, and his age is not very old, a little bit in his early twenties.
"Leaf wood. ”
Ye Xiao and Xia Qian came out, and Ye Mu was too lazy to take care of them again: "See you soon." Bye-bye ......"
Ye Xiao and Xia Qian looked at them blankly, and hurriedly followed the car: "Who are they?"
"People who came to travel, I don't know. Ye Mu shrugged.
The spa resort is not far away.
The place where Ye Mu is going is in the middle of the mountain, and even in the current season, the temperature during the day is only ten degrees, and snow can be seen in the mountains in the distance.
It's the off-season for tourism, but it's also the peak season. There isn't really much to see this season...... But there are many people who choose to travel during this season.
Ye Mu went to rent a single-family wooden house, the kind with several bedrooms. In other places, there are male, female, and mixed hot springs.
Putting down their luggage, the two girls can't wait to experience the natural hot springs with a travel guide. Ye Mu went back to his room, went to the door with tediousness, opened the suitcase, and took out the metal cubes and hollowed-out iron pieces......
These two things were supposed to be a whole, but when they got closer, they naturally gave birth to an induction, blooming with a pale green glow.
The pitch-black metal seems to have changed color, but once separated, at a distance of one meter, the faint light will disappear again, revealing its own metallic black.
'Alien stuff?'
Ye Mu held the metal square in one hand and the hollowed-out iron piece in the other, hesitating whether to inlay it.
Probably, something bad will happen to this. But everyone has curiosity, and Ye Mu is no exception......
After hesitating for a long time, Ye Mu inlaid the iron piece into it, and the two became one. The turquoise light naturally bloomed, shining on Ye Mu's body, especially on his face and hands, and there was a burning pain......
"Radiation!"
Ye Mu's heart was beating violently and uncontrollably, and his body was also uncontrollable and unable to move.
When people are faced with the unknown, fear always comes inexplicably. The burning sensation was not very painful, based on his limited knowledge, Ye Mu guessed that it might be a kind of radiation, and instinctively wanted to drop this glowing metal cube, but his body couldn't move. Suddenly, a blank brain sounded, and a metallic voice sounded in my head.
"Discovery of carbon-based lifeforms...... Detection of cell structure, gene structure, ...... Similarity 2.35 percent...... Detection of brain domain structure...... Detect...... Detect...... Possess high-level intelligent life potential...... Activation conditions have been met...... Initiate...... Starting......
Ye Mu's body was uncontrollable, unable to move, the metal cube in his hand slowly melted, and there was a slight anesthesia in the palm of his hand, and the melted metal drilled into the skin of his palm and entered his body, leaving only a silver-white flying saucer in the shape of a button.
"Low-grade primitive carbon-based lifeforms, restoration work is progressing slowly...... Bind the Initiator...... Collect data and establish a data ...... Please do you want to enter the interior of the Shenyuan engineering spaceship? ”
When he came to his senses, he looked at his empty palm, if it weren't for a striking burning wound, Ye Mu really thought he was dreaming just now.
Thinking of the prompt in his mind, Ye Mu gritted his teeth and said silently: "Enter." Immediately after his eyes darkened, a lot of unfamiliar information appeared in his mind.
This information is strange and familiar, as if it lurks in the depths of memory, because of some kind of touch, suddenly remembered.
The Shenyuan engineering spacecraft, a piece of equipment specifically designed to extract the 'source spirits' needed to promote the evolution of carbon-based organisms.
The information that comes to mind is incomplete and intermittent. Even so, the incomplete information is shocking.
The origin of this spaceship is impossible to verify, but as long as it appears on the planet, life and intelligent civilization will eventually be born. It seems to be the communicator of life in the universe...... It does not belong to an individual or a civilization. The leaf wood only has the right to use it, and for a short time, then it will disappear again and lurk on a planet in the universe that has enough potential to give birth to life, and so on...... Cycle......
This spaceship carries the memories of the previous owner, all of which were instilled into Ye Mu, and it is known that this is a bug-like spaceship, with independent space and independent time inside the spaceship, and it is not in the same plane as the real world at all.
The world lit up, and Ye Mu appeared inside the spaceship, similar to a closed super stadium, with silver-white metal walls. The space is connected by countless silver-black metal pipes, which eventually converge in a huge 'glass tube' in the center. The glass tube is about three meters high, one meter in diameter, and contains half of the green crystalline substance, which is a good guess, this should be the source spirit, a substance that can promote the evolution of carbon-based life.
The first time Ye Mu came here, he had a familiar feeling.
'Dreaming, must be dreaming'......
Ye Mu, who woke up suddenly, slapped himself, and with a 'snap', the pain hit suddenly.
"Damn!"
