It's a completely enclosed space.

The walls on all four sides shimmered with a cold, almost dazzling metallic sheen, and under the twenty-four hours of light, everything here seemed to give the impression of a color.

There is no day, no night, and even the feeling of time passing, such a space, but the interior is divided into extremely complicated, like a labyrinth, except for a very empty hall that is destined not to exist on weekdays, each room is full of sophisticated instruments, which is destined to be an environment that ordinary people will never touch, and everywhere is full of a science fiction-like color.

Quiet, boring, serious, rigorous.

If you combine all of the above words in one word, it's science.

It's easy to go crazy when you're alone in absolute silence, but here it's a group of people, divided into countless rooms, doing different research, counting all kinds of data, and then compiling a large amount of data to find out the shortcomings and make new attempts.

Everyone here seemed to be familiar with each other, and although they spoke very little, they cooperated very tacitly, and many times, there was obviously a group of four or five people in a room, but there was no movement in the room except for the stiff sound of the instrument.

Everyone is absolutely free in such a space, except for the necessary daily research, other times, they can walk around in any space here, but in any case, except for the middle and senior leaders here, it is impossible for any ordinary technician to leave this large space for half a step.

Even to say an exaggeration, the researchers here, individual young people, don't even know that there is a materialistic world of flowers and flowers in the outside world!

To put it bluntly, if you want to leave here and go out for a walk, unless you have made major research and are promoted to the status of middle and high-level people, ordinary technicians, these people who are called scientists by the outside world, will not be able to get out of this cold mysterious research institute for a lifetime, because everyone who enters here has sworn to dedicate the time and years of this life to the country and to science, and there are many low-level people who even choose to choose a mate here and combine, as for the offspring born, they will be in this place as soon as they are born, and they will be instilled with all kinds of knowledge, When I grew up, I continued to devote myself to research.

The so-called science and power, in any place, are things that are obtained at the cost of silent efforts and sacrifices of a group of people.

There are people here who provide food and water every day, and the food is unusually abundant, which can provide people with the most adequate nutrition, because in this environment where it is extremely difficult to feel the passage of time, people rarely have the so-called sleepiness, and only choose to rest when they are really sleepy, so in terms of food, the person in charge here has put a lot of effort into it.

I don't know the time.

I don't know the location.

Inside the mysterious and eerie Institute, a door near the center was pulled open, breaking the silence of the Institute.

A young girl who looked very delicate and quiet came out of the room with a tired and pale face, took off the lady's glasses on the bridge of her nose and wiped them, and put them in her pocket.

The girl seemed too tired to go on when she walked out of the room, but leaned against the wall and gasped, her breathing was rapid, her face quickly flushed in the pale with excitement, and then returned to pale, and she was the only one in the narrow corridor who was breathing rapidly.

In this mysterious research institute, even though she wears the same silver uniform as everyone else every day, she is still a delicate flower that makes people feel unattainable, but at this moment, her eyes are a little dazed and frightened in the center surrounded by countless people here, and then they turn into hesitation and struggle.

"Director Sun, it doesn't seem to be your turn to sort out the data room today."

A thick middle-aged voice sounded.

Because she was not mentally prepared enough, and she was in a nervous state, the girl's body trembled suddenly, obviously startled, and raised her head reflexively, and after seeing the person who spoke, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief, barely showed a smile, and said softly: "Director Liu, today should be Director Fu sorting out the data room, but he has to write a program temporarily, so I will come over for him." ”

Director Liu sighed, and didn't think much about it, he was wearing a military uniform, and he looked like a good-tempered uncle, but wherever he went, it was enough to make people subconsciously stand up straight.

Lieutenant General of the Celestial Empire!

He looked around, hey, and said mysteriously: "Xiao Sun, in the recent period, you still call me Deputy Director Liu, the one above us has not been in a good temper recently, and it naturally doesn't matter if you remove a sub-word on weekdays, but now, hehe, it is the most sensitive time for the one above, this title, it can't be messed up." ”

A lieutenant general is just the deputy director of this mysterious research institute, how many deputy directors are there?

The girl seemed to have a good relationship with the lieutenant general uncle in front of her, blinked her eyes, slowly calmed down in her heart, and whispered: "Uncle Liu, the one above is confirmed to be retiring?" ”

"It's hard to say."

Uncle Lieutenant General shook his head, his smile was calm and gentle, with some emotion in his tone, the one above he and the girl's mouth was naturally the number one here, he looked at this junior whom he admired a lot, smiled, shook his head and said: "A few years ago, that one began to be nervous, our place, the military rank is very high, and when it reaches the director level, it will be awarded, at least it is a lieutenant colonel or colonel, but in the end, we are a technical department, and we can be respected outside, but when we encounter major events, Not many people are willing to contribute to us, although our No. 1 is also a general, but there is a gap between the generals and generals of the Celestial Empire, a general who has entered the military committee of the Celestial Empire and a general who has not entered the military committee are not a level at all, to take the simplest example, if the ministerial-level cadres in the political circles are not elected as members of the Central Committee, then some of the deputy ministers with real power can talk to him with a hard back, now you understand, right? Originally, the one above could hold out for a few years, but now it seems that Xuanla, our No. 1 has been angry that he can't enter the military committee, and now he is about to change his term, hey, his age should also retire, but he hasn't paved the way for his back yet, and it's normal to be in the wrong mood during this time. ”

The girl blinked, her eyes were clear, and she whispered, "Then Uncle Liu thinks that if No. 1 leaves, who is most likely to come here?" ”

Uncle Lieutenant General glanced at her, it seemed a little strange how the little girl who was not interested in these things on weekdays began to care about this issue, but he had no intention of hiding it, there were many people in the institute, and there were more outstanding ones, and the girl in front of her, whether it was her or the forces behind her, was worthy of his wooing, he smiled lightly, took out a cigarette and lit it, took a deep breath, and asked slowly: "Do you know when No. 1 became nervous?" ”

The girl shook her head slightly, looking dazed.

It's really a simple young man.

Uncle Lieutenant General smiled inwardly and continued: "Among the three giants of the Chen Department today, there seems to be a big man who has no specific position but is always on the list of the Military Committee. ”

Former commander of the Military Region of the Three Eastern Provinces, General Chen Zhengde!

The girl sighed, a smile on the corner of her mouth, and she suddenly realized.

This is obviously very unexpected news.

"Admiral Chen should have come over two years ago, but considering the contribution of No. 1 over the years, he was deliberately given some time, at least so that he could pave the way for future generations, but our old leader is too greedy, and he is still in a mood, I can understand it, but I can't understand it."

Uncle Lieutenant General chuckled softly and took a puff on his cigarette.

The girl smiled too, but bowed her head a little absent-mindedly, thoughtfully.

"Okay, I won't tell you, I'll go look around somewhere else."

The lieutenant general's uncle threw away the half-smoked cigarette and turned around to leave.

"That's... Uncle Liu..."

The girl's body shook, hesitated for the last time for a moment, gritted her teeth suddenly, and suddenly spoke.

"Huh?"

The lieutenant general stopped and looked at her with some confusion in his eyes.

"I... I want to take a leave of absence, I want to go home and see. ”

The girl raised her head and looked at the middle-aged man in front of her with a worried expression, her two small hands clasped tightly together, although he had tried his best to remain calm, but the constant fluctuations in his eyes still revealed the tension in his heart.

The lieutenant general frowned, but simply thought that the girl was homesick, and lowered his head and thought for a while before softly saying: "Yes, it's just that your recent research progress is very critical, I can only give you three days of vacation, can you come back?" ”

"Yes. I want to go back now. ”

The girl nodded vigorously.

The lieutenant general finally noticed that something was wrong with the girl, his brows furrowed even tighter, and he said with some concern: "Qingying girl, what's wrong with you?" Is there something uncomfortable? ”

Sun Qingying!

The girl, who never seemed to be cared too much about by Wang Fuxing, lowered her head to hide it, and smiled reluctantly: "No... It's just a little homesick, and I want to go back now. ”

"That's right, it's not very comfortable in this kind of place after a long time."

The lieutenant general smiled and understood: "You come with me, and I will send someone to send you back." ”

Sun Qingying breathed a sigh of relief, casually took off his outside uniform, dressed in casual clothes, followed behind the middle-aged man, and entered the elevator.

There is a musty smell in the elevator, and the button in the elevator, which clearly shows this place, is -5.

Five floors underneath!

"It's time to apply to the above for a change in the air circulation system, it's okay in other places, every time I enter the elevator, it's uncomfortable, it's terrible!"

The middle-aged man muttered and pressed the button.

The elevator stops at the -2 position.

The two walked out of the elevator, led by the lieutenant general, bypassed the heavily guarded checkpoints, and finally came to the ground.

It was dark at this time.

The north wind is howling!

Sun Qingying's delicate and quiet body stood on the ground, one of her small hands reached into her pocket and held something tightly.

There is a vast expanse everywhere you look, full of yellow sand, as far as the eye can see.

The night wind whipped up the sand and dust and brought up a wisp of green silk on her forehead, she should have felt cold, but at this time, there was a warmth and affection like water in her bright eyes.

"Go back and have fun for two days, and say hello to your parents for me."

The lieutenant general waved his hand to take care of a nearby guard, and after giving him a few commands, he turned to look at Sun Qingying and chuckled.

Sun Qingying smiled, nodded but shook his head, and said softly, "I'm not going back to play." ”

"Huh?"

The lieutenant general looked at her suspiciously.

Sun Qingying smiled, the desert wind at night was very strong, her head was full of green silk floating backwards, her body trembled slightly, and continued: "I want to do what I should do the most, I figured it out." ”

Without waiting for the lieutenant general to speak, he added unusually firmly: "No regrets!" ”

The lieutenant general smiled slightly.

What a cute and innocent young man.
