Chapter 10: Dr. Xing (2)
Just as I was looking through the thick stack of medical records, the three-dimensional display on my wrist "dripped" sounded, prompting me to have new information. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info is a very convenient gadget, only the size of a wristband, with a flip cover, which presents a magnified three-dimensional picture through the overlapping of lights. But most of the time, especially during a mission, I set it to just show flat information. After all, the battery life is only about 2 days, and it costs a lot more power to display a three-dimensional image than a flat surface.
The message prompt is from my leader, and when it is opened, there is only one line of words on it: "There is news from above, the isolation level of Wangxing Village is to prohibit all personnel from entering and exiting and electromagnetic wave communication." Therefore, you must not have any contact with anyone until the end of the mission. Please keep any items that need to be tested in a safe place and return them to the headquarters for disposal when you come out. "I was shocked at first, thinking I was going to be completely locked down. Then I remembered that in order to keep secrets, the army only replaced the original wireless communication wristband with a new neutrino communication wristband last year, so it is still within the range of use. It's just that Lao Xing's voice recorder can only be handed over to the restoration department after everything is over.
In fact, I have encountered a variety of situations in previous missions, so I didn't let this sudden news affect my emotions too much. However, this piece of news from above revealed a lot of things that I didn't know before: first, the quarantine of Wangxing Village back then was indeed an order from a higher level, and the level of secrecy was very high. Because my unit is provincial, even they don't know the level of quarantine here. It is conceivable that the leader just wanted to reuse the place of Wangxing Village with an attitude of checking, but when the situation was reported to the above, he found that the village was isolated from the whole village, and access and communication were prohibited. It shows that the orders of the year can only be issued directly by the leaders of my leadership, and they are also hidden from the people below; Second, it is very strange and rare for the state to directly order the isolation of the entire village and the prohibition of all electromagnetic communications. The only reason I can imagine is that either everyone is already infected, and the infection is extremely deadly and needs to be tightly controlled, not even known to the outside world; Either that, the state wants to seal some important secret here, and it needs to kill everyone who knows.
I quickly collected my thoughts and was about to continue reviewing the rest of my medical records when I suddenly heard a voice coming towards me not far away.
A group of five humanoid lights, led by Lao Chen, whom I am familiar with. The two next to him should be Cen Xiao and Bai Yuelu, and there is also a middle-aged woman and a tall man's light.
I put the papers in my hand aside, patted the scraps of dry food on my body, and ran over. It's useless here anyway, don't worry about being stolen.
Before he could get closer, he saw a tall and thin figure dangling from the other side with his hands behind his back. The middle-aged woman's light was the first to greet him, "Doctor Xing, where are you going?" "This voice is familiar to me, and looking at the situation, I guess it should be Bai Yuelu's mother and brother who came to pick them up and take them back to the village. It seems that this period of history should be earlier, and it may even be the scene when Cen Xiao and Bai Yuelu first came to Wangxing Village.
It makes me feel a little uncomfortable, obviously as if they have experienced their death with their own eyes, but now they are standing "alive" in front of them, living a day that was ordinary ten years ago but will change their entire fate. At this moment, these people in front of me do not know what kind of desperate situation their lives will fall into in less than half a year.
And I was like standing on the great labyrinth of time, looking at them wordlessly and powerlessly, like a swarm of ants, struggling to find a way out of the complex possibility of bifurcation.
But standing in the grand and indifferent dimension of time, I already knew their end. Looking at it again, it's just a fatalistic sadness.
"Oh, I'll go to town to buy some medicine, I haven't had enough pig vaccines lately." But Dr. Xing's light and shadow couldn't hear the sorrow in my heart, and politely greeted: "Yo, the deer is back." Now, let's come to my hometown to build an observatory. ”
"Uncle Xing is good." The short-haired young girl shouted to him crisply: "No, it's just sent to work." The observatory was originally built. ”
Doctor Xing said "oh, oh" twice and nodded, "Then this is...?" Bai Yuelu hurriedly introduced: "This is the person in charge of the astronomical observatory, Mr. Cen." She is the project leader of my university lab. ”
"Oh, oh." Doctor Xing hurriedly nodded at her, "Teacher, teacher." ”
"Hello," Cen Xiao also nodded politely at him, "Just call me Cen Xiao." I'm just a researcher, not a full-time faculty member, and I can't afford to be a teacher. Her voice is soft and soft, without accent, which makes people feel that this is a very cultured and temperamental woman.
The picture fell into a brief embarrassment, but was quickly resolved by Lao Chen: "This... Cen Xiao, a scientist who came back from the United States, came back to serve the motherland. ”
"Nope." The long-haired woman waved her hand, "It's just a matter of staying for a while." ”
"She studied astrophysics at MIT, and she read it very, very well." Bai Yuelu said proudly on the side, holding Cen Xiao's arm, and the kind of show-off that couldn't help but be overflowing.
Dr. Xing's humanoid light stood there, craned his neck, as if he thought for a moment, before he said, "Oh... M… M what kicks? ”
"Oh, MIT." Cen Xiao kindly helped him translate his name into Chinese. But it didn't seem that he understood it, so he just let out a long "oh" and repeated: "Polytechnic, Polytechnic." Uh-huh, that's amazing, I see. ”
"Yes, our deer is a doctoral student at Tsinghua University, and they all work with her, which is very powerful." Bai Mu interjected. The other party suddenly realized "oh" and nodded.
I looked at Cen Xiao standing there, not moving, as if it was just a decoration. I suddenly felt some sympathy for this MIT-graduated astrophysicist, a true high-level intellectual. She doesn't belong to this group, she doesn't belong to the small place of Wangxing Village. But there she was, I guess with a polite smile on her face, settling with a group of people who were too many levels off her. I think it's like a vision of poverty alleviation.
Thankfully, this awkward and difficult conversation ended quickly. The white mother said that she was afraid that the two children would be tired, so she ended this politeness. And the light quickly faded.
I went back to where I had put my bag and noticed that there was not a single ant on the ground where I had dusted off the crumbs of dry food.
