"Professor Shen also went over?" Wu Xiaoqing was surprised, "Doesn't he still have to study flying swords?" ”

After seeing the flying sword brought back by Wu Xiaoqing, Shen Changwen has been soaking in the space station, and he has not returned to Earth for a few days, and his food and accommodation are solved in the space station.

Wu Xiaoqing also sent them a few times to eat, and it was obvious that Shen Changwen's whole complexion looked different from the past.

According to Xu Yan, in addition to sleeping every day in the past few days, Professor Shen is in the laboratory, and then he will scream in the laboratory from time to time. When we eat together, we eat in a daze and laugh out loud with "hey, hey...... – while they all know that people who do science may have a weird personality, it's a little too frightening.

In the past, Shen Changwen looked quite normal, and sometimes when he explained some problems to them, he really had a bookish atmosphere, but in the past few days, after getting along with each other in the space station, Xu Yan found that it was not the case at all - after entering the state of full devotion, Shen Changwen even showed some nervousness, if he hadn't known Professor Shen for so long, Xu Yan almost thought that he was a fool who had just finished taking a pyramid scheme class and came back planning to start a business and make a fortune.

"Yes, he goes," the search and rescue team said, "and this project is critical." ”

"What business?" Wu Xiaoqing began to be a little curious. In the previous mission, there were only two occasions when he and Shen Changwen appeared together - once when they accepted the worship of primitive people together, and the other time when they went to meet King Elise as doctors. Those two times were in another world, which was also the key point of the mission, and he could understand it somewhat. But this time it's on Earth, the resort town of Hawaii.

"Deep-sea salvage."

"Salvage what?" Wu Xiaoqing couldn't imagine what the rescue of the trapeze world would have to do with the deep sea. But he didn't care about the details - whatever he did, he just carried it out.

“*。”

……

Ningzhou Airport, Lounge 2.

"Coffee, sandwiches."

"What about you, sir?" The waiter turned to ask Wu Xiaoqing.

"Ah...... I...... The same. ”

"You've already eaten, and you don't drink coffee," Shen Changwen shook his head and corrected the waiter, "Just give him a cup of hot chocolate." ”

"Okay, wait a minute."

Professor Shen slept all the way, and the search and rescue team said he stayed up all night yesterday. It wasn't until after the airport that he regained some of his spirits. But at this moment, it seems that Wu Xiaoqing is the one who stayed up late, and the whole person looks like a fool.

"What's wrong? Still worried about the * thing? Shen Changwen seemed to be in a good mood, and he didn't have the paranoid appearance that Xu Yan said at all. He had never smiled before, but now he could see a stretched smile on his face. To be honest, Wu Xiaoqing hasn't really seen Shen Changwen laugh since he met him. In Wu Xiaoqing's heart, Shen Changwen will always be the image of an unfathomable scholar.

"Professor Shen!" Wu Xiaoqing lowered his head and said in a low voice, "The collection team said that this should be kept secret!" ”

"I know I have to keep it secret, and I didn't tell anyone about it," Shen Changwen shrugged indifferently. The coffee had already been delivered first, Shen Changwen took a sip, frowned, and said, "Let's have another cup, I forgot to say, don't add milk and sugar." ”

Then he pushed the cup to Wu Xiaoqing: "Why don't you drink more?" Coffee is refreshing. ”

Wu Xiaoqing shook his head: "This thing is easy to go to the toilet if you drink too much." ”

Then he lowered his voice again: "Others will hear it." ”

There were quite a few people in the café, and most of them were waiting for the plane like them. Wu Xiaoqing looked at these people now, and they all looked like plainclothes policemen, and he felt as if he had become a wanted criminal.

"Hearing what you're afraid of," presumably working all night, making his spirits look a little excited, "Salvage*, haha, how many times did you laugh when you first heard this?" ”

Wu Xiaoqing pursed his lips, and he smiled twice. It wasn't until the search and rescue team repeated it for the third time that he realized that it wasn't a joke.

The search and rescue team had no interest in the humor of the earthlings, and had never had the interest in showing them humor.

"So specifically...... Let's ......" Wu Xiaoqing looked around, paused twice worriedly, and made sure that the search and rescue team did not stop him from speaking, before holding back the content after the pause, "Salvage this thing...... What is it used for? ”

"Do you need to ask?" Shen Changwen smiled, "What is it for, just use it for anything." Or do you think we're here to collect scrap? ”

"That's going to kill a lot of people."

"Will it?" Shen Changwen said, "Don't forget, they are all immortals. ”

Wu Xiaoqing realized that the environment they wanted to use was beyond the earth. On the way here, Shen Changwen had already told him this truth: "In different worlds, there will be different morals. * The reason why it is so awe-inspiring on Earth is itself because human beings only have one lifespan, and life is too precious and fragile. But this, for the flying man civilization, is completely absent. ”

"I heard Xu Yan say that you haven't slept in the past few days?" Wu Xiaoqing asked, "Is there anything new to discover?" ”

"What's new?" Shen Changwen shook his head, "Ningzhou University's library, you should have been there." ”

Wu Xiaoqing nodded. During the first rescue, Wu Xiaoqing went to Ningzhou University to preside over a meeting, and also saw the library there.

"How do you feel when you read the professional books of those universities?"

"Heavenly book, I can't read it at all." Wu Xiaoqing said.

"Yes, that's how I feel," Shen Changwen said, "If these discoveries are brought back to Earth, every minute will be a scientific and technological revolution...... Pity...... At the Elis meeting, didn't Xu Yan still steal a lot of gold and want to transport it back? I have a feeling with him now, a head of things, suffocated in it, I want to find someone to talk to, happy. ”

Wu Xiaoqing smiled, he didn't understand Professor Shen's emotions very well, but he could feel Professor Shen's excitement. In the past, he didn't like to talk very much, and he liked to stay alone when he had nothing to do, or watch things in his profession by himself, but this time he took the initiative to talk to Wu Xiaoqing about these topics.

"Do you know why those people can't die?" Shen Changwen's coffee and sandwiches were delivered, and he almost didn't care about his demeanor, chewing the sandwich while speaking, "The search and rescue team has known for a long time...... But he didn't say it, and I verified it later. ”

"Their brains are already digitized – just like we do with our mobile phones, every few hours, the latest data is sent to the Internet. But we haven't figured out how to read this data in the end, and there must be genetic factories that are used to produce human bodies on a large scale. ”

"They look like people, but they don't have the ability to have children at all—Yan Xiu confirmed that with me. But after everyone dies, they will always come back to life in a remote corner and regain consciousness - this thing is simply haunted according to our earthlings' thoughts. ”

"And what about them...... Don't think it's weird? ”

"Of course, I think that their nine major factions have been investigating this matter for more than a thousand years, wondering who resurrected these dead people and how. But after checking for a thousand years, there was no news at all. According to their own explanation, it means that after death, the aura will not disperse, and it will be combined by itself. That's what they all believed. Also, I'm afraid you won't believe it when you say it, I don't know why they can store electricity in their bodies? ”

"I should have put a battery...... Wu Xiaoqing guessed.

"The body is made of proteins, how can you put the battery alone, aren't you afraid of leakage and breaking through the body," Shen Changwen sighed and said, "They have changed the chemical reaction mode of the whole person...... We are breaking down starch proteins, getting energy from them, and they ...... You know they eat heavy metals – but they don't get poisoned. ”

"It stands to reason that lead, a heavy metal, can easily accumulate in the body. But they are different – they digest food not by stomach acid, but directly by electricity...... A human body is simply an electrochemical reactor. Heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, the function of each organ has been changed...... Heavy metals not only have no effect on their own physiological functions, but can also be used to enhance electrical conductivity...... So it's stupid for earthlings to alchemy and eat heavy metals, and they are alchemy...... It's really useful. ”

At this time, Shen Changwen's phone rang, he picked it up and looked at it, and smiled at Wu Xiaoqing: "Our guests have already arrived first, and we are almost there, what, do you want to eat something?" ”

"No, you don't."

The boarding went smoothly, and there was no TV scene where Wu Xiaoqing imagined that they were being treated as spies or *intercepted.

Because they had to fly for 12 hours, Shen Changwen still had to catch up on sleep, and Chen She booked them a first-class cabin. After entering, Shen Changwen regretted it a little, he originally wanted to continue talking to Wu Xiaoqing, but the atmosphere in the first-class cabin was quiet, and it was very inconvenient to speak.

It wasn't until the plane left the ground that Wu Xiaoqing saw through the window that the familiar city of Ningzhou gradually shrank and finally disappeared, which gave him some sense of reality. From the time he set off from home to the time he got on the plane, Wu Xiaoqing kept asking himself in his heart: "Are we really going to find *?" Are we really going to use *? We really ......."

Wu Xiaoqing wanted to get rich overnight, thought about the beauty of the fragrant car, thought about heroic sacrifice, thought about becoming a hero, or a public enemy of the world.

But he never imagined that his life would have the opportunity to intersect with *, a term so familiar but completely unfamiliar.

This emotion, as summarized by the search and rescue team, is an illusion caused by a strong sense of sacredness - sacred things cannot be contaminated by mortals, but he is going there now - in the mouth of the search and rescue team, their trip to the depths of the ocean to catch a few nuclear bombs is as difficult as picking up a few coins from the ground - it is much easier and easier than him to go to the world of the flying man.
