"Yes, we all have to go, you go upstairs first, I have something to tell you."

Wu Xiaoqing walked upstairs, and in the empty room that originally belonged to his parents, he saw a strange robot that was about the same size as others, and he froze for a moment, and then realized that this was brought in by him and Chen She before, and it was said that it was a robot ordered by the search and rescue team from the United States.

"Big brother?" Wu Xiaoqing saw that the robot was staring at his computer screen, and asked tentatively.

"It's me, but I'm charging," the search and rescue team replied in subtitles, "I didn't tell you about the move before, I just made up for it." ”

"Where are you moving to?" Then he reacted and asked again, "Why did you move?" ”

"Xiaoyang Village is so remote," the search and rescue team said, "Do you know that your neighbor's house was stolen at night a week ago?" ”

Of course Wu Xiaoqing didn't know, but this matter was not news in Xiaoyang Village. In the past, Wu Xiaoqing was a part of petty theft in the village, and his absence does not mean that everyone else has become a good person. Wu Xiaoqing in the surrounding towns also understands the situation, and there are not a few people who usually steal things, so many people have dogs in the yard, which are still very fierce, and the big dogs that bark when they see people are their main function to scare thieves.

Next door to Wu Xiaoqing's house lives an old woman who lives with her granddaughter. The son and daughter-in-law both went to work in the city, and they only came back during the New Year's holidays. Usually Wu Xiaoqing has little to do with them - because of his bad reputation, the villagers usually avoid him.

"You've also seen the office in Ningzhou, that's the new place I chose, it's very big, it's still empty, and it's located in the center of the city, it's more convenient for materials and personnel to come and go, and there is a special warehouse on the ground floor of the building, and the security measures are strict, which is more suitable for being a teleportation point than here."

There are also some reasons why the search and rescue team did not tell Wu Xiaoqing, that is, since the crew was stationed in the suburbs of Dayang Village, the villagers' attitude towards Wu Xiaoqing has now become eager. People who didn't care about Wu Xiaoqing's whereabouts now hang around Wu Xiaoqing's house all day long, which is a very troublesome thing for rescue work that requires strict secrecy. Now all the secrecy work of Wu Xiaoqing's house, that is, locking the doors and windows at home, and closing the curtains, if it is determined that there is no one at home, someone who is interested can make a staircase, and get a brick in broad daylight to climb in and get things - this is how Wu Xiaoqing's neighbor's house was stolen.

"That's fine...... Do you want me to help you get something? ”

"It's mainly your stuff, you see what you have to take over, let the workers carry it. I only need these computers—Shen Changwen still has some things left here, but he said don't move. There are also Wang Youquan and Xu Yan, and some of their luggage is also in the guest room, and they are also brought over. ”

"That'...... Does the company have a place for me to sleep? ”

"Without that, it's best that you don't rest around the waypoint."

"Then it's not very troublesome to help you transport things in the future." Wu Xiaoqing is talking about the transportation of many materials now, and most of the work is done by him and Shen Changwen. For Xu Yan and Wang Youquan, they didn't dare to let them perform this kind of task.

"Now it's just for the sake of secrecy, and it's a last resort. When the scale of the rescue operation expands in the future, it will be difficult for the two of you to complete these tasks alone, and in the future, this part of the work will have to be done by special people, just like Yan Yan and He Yuqing. ”

In fact, this time, when Shen Changwen came back before and took the guards to transport a large number of sugar and spices from the teleportation point, the problem had already begun to become prominent. A total of several tons of goods can be separated enough to fill the entire living room of Wu Xiaoqing's house. In order to avoid arousing suspicion, the goods had to be bought long in advance, inspected at Shenhai, and then shipped in batches — each time the workers were carried upstairs and transported every other day. If the time is too short, the workers will definitely have doubts - where have so many things just been moved up, and where have they gone in the blink of an eye?

"So where do I live in the future?"

"You have more than three million in your hand now, and you can live wherever you like. If you don't know how to rent a house yourself, just tell Chen She. ”

……

In the afternoon, Wu Xiaoqing was going to meet a professor who needed to change his clothes according to the requirements of the search and rescue team. The suit was changed to casual wear, and the hair also needed to be slightly messed up. Suits and leather shoes, which are used to pretend to be X in front of ordinary people, but in the face of people who really don't take these things seriously, it's better to return to the truth a little.

Strictly speaking, this is also a paid consultation, but because the other party's level is very high, it is natural that you can't invite an invitation to the company like other people, have a meeting with a group of people, and leave for an hour or two. This requires Wu Xiaoqing, the boss, to come to the door with the money in person, and to be humble and ask for advice.

"Hello Mr. Ma," Walking into the office, Wu Xiaoqing bowed slightly to the person in front of him - this etiquette was also learned by him in the mirror before going out, "I'm Wu Xiaoqing, Professor Shen asked me to come over and explain some information, related to the report." ”

"Oh......" Ma Qianhua looked at Wu Xiaoqing and asked him in surprise, "Are you a student under Shen Changwen?" He also takes undergraduates? ”

"No," Wu Xiaoqing explained, "I know Professor Shen, but I'm not a student, I'm from Qinglan Consulting." ”

Qinglan Consulting is a company registered by Shen Changwen in the name of Wu Xiaoqing, of course, the name of the company is rarely used externally - most of the current relationships are based on the premise of Professor Shen Changwen's name, as for the name of the company, no one cares.

"Oh, Lao Shen asked me to make the report, just for you," Ma Qianhua said, "Is there anything wrong with the last report?" ”

"No," Wu Xiaoqing said, "the report is very well written, very professional, very helpful to us, and the customer is also very satisfied." "Nominally, they asked Ma Qianhua to make a report, which was to match the film project.

"I'm here today to add some information related to this project." Ma Qianhua's second consultation was contacted by Shen Changwen before, and the content was no longer about the determination of the refuge area, but the long-term deduction of the entire volcanic eruption, which refers to the geological activity between 50 and 1,000 years. For Professor Ma, it is also a good research topic.

For the rescue mission, the significance of this second report is naturally to remind these people they have rescued to try to avoid in the later life. It is conceivable that after such a catastrophe, this civilization, which has less than 200,000 people, is extremely fragile, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not suffer the secondary damage caused by this disaster. The point of this report is to try to avoid these harms.

The information that needs to be supplemented naturally comes from Wu Xiaoqing's return trip, the geological data of the entire place he passed through, and the information that Shen Changwen sent people to collect later.

The materials brought by Wu Xiaoqing were all placed in the mobile hard drive, and after copying, Ma Qianhua took a brief look at it and asked, "Or is it for filming?" ”

"The client said it would be confidential, and we didn't know." Wu Xiaoqing is not Shen Changwen, and he is not familiar with this Professor Ma, of course he can not explain, and directly say that he doesn't know.

"Well, the project is being done, and it will take more than half a month, so there is no problem in terms of time."

"No problem, no problem," Wu Xiaoqing said, "This matter is not in a hurry, and they also know that with such a large amount of calculations and small data, it will be difficult to model." "After all, there was a volcanic eruption last time, and Wu Xiaoqing specialized in exploration with extraterrestrial technology glasses, and the target was only one volcano. The calculation of almost the entire continental plate is based on a simple photograph and a simple record of historical sources, many of which can be said to be a blank slate. Fortunately, the requirements for reporting are not too high – unlike the first report, which is accurate to the exact number of days and hours of the eruption, the subsequent report only needs to identify the approximate geological risk zone. It is a reference for risk avoidance, not an early warning.

"It's good that you're just making movies, if it's really to save people, you can't be so sloppy...... The decimal point in this report may be tens of thousands of lives. By the way, young man, what did you study? ”

"Ah......" Wu Xiaoqing said embarrassedly, "I didn't go to college...... I didn't even go to high school, but I came out to work after graduating from junior high school. ”

The so-called junior high school graduation did not graduate through the exam, but the principal of the school was really afraid of him and gave his graduation certificate to Wu Xiaoqing in advance.

"I really can't see it...... Interested in geology? Wu Xiaoqing just said that these words are not at all serious, and it can be seen that he is quite familiar with the report.

"It's my job, I'm ...... Learn a little more. Wu Xiaoqing said cheekily.

"Oh, it's good, just rush at you with this attitude, and you will definitely do something in the future. When we were admitted to university, many of us were new to Chinese, read books in their hands for a few years, and did not also go to college. As long as you want to learn, it's the same everywhere......"

As long as it's a teacher, it's the same everywhere, Wu Xiaoqing only thinks that this Professor Ma is so familiar with what his junior high school teacher once persuaded him to learn...... Of course, the current Wu Xiaoqing must behave very decently, nodding his head while listening, and making an appearance of humbly accepting.

When leaving Professor Ma's office, Wu Xiaoqing suddenly thought of a question from the conversation just now, which was also the question he wanted to ask the search and rescue team before, but he never asked it clearly: "Professor Ma said just now that a decimal point is tens of thousands of lives, what does it mean?" ”

"It's literal," the search and rescue team said, "with the Earth as a backdrop, of course." If there is such a large-scale volcanic eruption on Earth, tens of thousands may be considered a small number. ”

Wu Xiaoqing suddenly realized another problem for the first time, a question that he had always ignored and did not pay attention to: "How many people are there in that world, that is, in that king's world?" ”

"One or two million." This is a conservative estimate, after all, many people in that era could not be counted.

"We only saved...... Less than one percent? In the past, Wu Xiaoqing would not think about these problems, he would only think about how many people they rescued, and he would not think about how many people they abandoned while they chose to save and formulate a plan.

"From a civilizational point of view, one percent is enough."
