Wang Youquan woke up first.

He found himself sitting in the cab of the excavator, his luggage on the side, and the surrounding environment was like what Professor Shen said at the dinner table, a wilderness.

Wang Youquan got out of the car and went to see Xu Yan next door first, he didn't seem to have woken up yet, he was still snoring while sleeping, and his saliva was dripping down and ruining most of his good suit.

"Xu Yan, Xu Yan." Wang Youquan went to pat his face, and after a few seconds, Xu Yan reacted and reluctantly opened his eyes, but because he was facing the sun, he raised his hand to cover it again.

After a while, Xu Yan woke up and got out of the car, and subconsciously asked Wang Youquan: "Master Wang, where is this?" ”

"Didn't you look at the map yesterday? This is where the map is marked. Let's go to the construction site in the future, let's go over and see our tent first. ”

The terrain here is also simple, nothing more than three slopes, one side of the exit, a small stream in the middle, and a standard small valley. They walked downstream in the direction of the creek for more than ten minutes, and soon found the supply point mentioned on the map.

Sleeping tents, bottled water, assorted canned food, self-heating rice...... There were a lot of things, so Wang Youquan took some things without saying a word and prepared to move some of them over first, so that he could get the sleeping place first. Xu Yan seemed a little hesitant, and suggested, "Why don't you drive a car to help transport it." ”

"Driving a car? The oil in the car is for us to work, you really regard yourself as the boss," Wang Youquan was the team leader appointed by Shen Changwen and the "person in charge" of this project, he directly ordered Xu Yan, "Don't talk nonsense, move quickly, we have to hurry up and work later, finish it early, and we should go back early." ”

It took the two of them more than an hour to set up the campsite, and then familiarize themselves with the car conditions, and then Wang Youquan began to mark the operation area with lime powder on the ground.

He first zoned a place, asked Xu Yan to try it first, and after making sure that it met the standards of the design drawing, he began to demarcate other areas.

Although there is no one to supervise, this is not a city after all, and the two of them have not brought their mobile phones with them, so there is really nothing else to do except work. So a survey of the terrain, specific planning work, and a start to try to start the operation, and it is not a complicated job, but it seems to be orderly.

At noon, when the two of them had dinner, they had the opportunity to talk to each other.

"Master Wang, what do you say this project is for," Xu Yan ate canned braised beef, looked at the crescent-shaped grass growing on the side of the stream in front of him, and looked at the row of pits they dug in the morning, "Where are we?" Why do you think they're doing this here? ”

Wang Youquan just watched the fire intently, he was cooking rice with a firewood fire, he was not used to the taste of self-heating rice. When he heard Xu Yan's words, he had the same doubts, but he still didn't want to say more, the more he said, it would only make the two of them more troubled.

It's better to hurry up and get to work here, finish the work here as soon as possible, and then go home.

"By the way......" After eating two more bites of canned braised beef, Xu Yan suddenly said: "Master Wang, have you heard of the 2160 Project?" ”

"No, eat well, dig up the east side after eating, and have time to chat in the evening."

In the afternoon, the two of them just worked with their heads bored, and they only used a walkie-talkie to communicate with each other, and they all talked about work. The work progress of the two of them was very fast, although they did not bring clocks, but with experience, Wang Youquan knew that they had worked for at least more than five hours, and it stands to reason that the sun should set now......

However, it is a little strange that the sun in front of me seems to be an hour or two away from the ground.

But their stomachs don't lie, and they are indeed hungry. Wang Youquan still decided to get some compressed biscuits to deal with it first, and then eat a hot meal when it was really night......

By this time, Wang Youquan's heart had begun to grow a little hairy, and he began to feel that something really seemed to be wrong here.

In fact, when they first came in the morning, Wang Youquan had already discovered some details, such as the weather here, it was only the end of February when they came, the weather was biting cold, and a little wind outside made people unbearable. But when I got here, although it was very windy, I didn't feel cold at all, on the contrary, I felt a little more clothed, a little hot, and the temperature was more like autumn than early spring.

There are also some plants growing on the ground by the stream, Wang Youquan grew up in the small countryside, but he can't recognize the flowers and plants he sees now, on the contrary, he has not seen any of the dog's tail grass that can be seen everywhere on the earth.

But Wang Youquan is a person after all, he knows the severity, he has not been in contact with the gods and ghosts before, digging graves, demolishing temples, he has experienced a lot of things, and he will be a little scared at first, but these are not important, money, can get the money in his hand, these are the reasons why he came here. As long as he gives money, even if he is asked to drive an excavator to dig the Jade Emperor's Lingxiao Treasure Palace, he will not hesitate at all.

In the evening, the two of them began to rest, taking advantage of the light that was still a little bright, Wang Youquan asked Xu Yan to find some firewood to come back, and he adjusted the position of the two excavators to block the upwind outlet, the wind blew more and more a little bigger, he was afraid that the tent would not be able to bear it. After adjusting the excavator, he also used a hammer to reinforce the ground nails of the tent.

When Xu Yan came back, he didn't have much firewood in his hand, but he picked up a lot of coal. He said that a little further past where they had taken their supplies, there was a slope with ready-made lumps of coal.

Wang Youquan looked at the coal and cried and laughed: "Let's just cook a meal, why are you picking up so much coal?" ”

"Isn't coal burning?" Xu Yan obviously has no common sense in life.

"Then you can use it to cook rice and try it." Even honeycomb coal, a secondary product, needs to be set up on the road for more than ten minutes to light a fire, this lump of coal thrown into a small fire, no different from stones, before the coal burns, they finish eating and prepare to extinguish the fire.

Make a fire, put the pot on the shelf, and when the rice is cooked, Xu Yan began to ask again: "Master Wang, do you remember the question I asked you during the day?" ”

"What."

"Do you know Project 2160?"

"Tell me about it." While listening, Wang Youquan took out a deck of playing cards from the pocket of his clothes and dealt cards to himself on the ground.

"Do you know Area 51 in the United States?" Xu Yan said mysteriously, "During the Cold War with the Soviet Union in the last century, why did two countries as big as they desperately want to carry out the Star Wars program? Because they have found aliens on Earth. ”

Wang Youquan hummed, but what he subconsciously counted in his mind was the remaining cards in his hand. He dealt 48 cards, and should now have a 5 of hearts and a 6 of diamonds left in his hand, and if he asks for another card, the straight will be very likely...... How are probabilities calculated...... Well, yes, and at the same time raise......

Thinking so, he sent himself another one, which was a 9 of spades, miscalculated, miscalculated...... If this is really on the table, this one may be thousands out.

"Later, China developed, the Chinese landed on the moon, and then also discovered aliens, which led to the 2160 program. Do you know why China is suddenly letting go of the second child now? China now has 1.5 billion people, why is it too little? Because we're going to immigrate to an alien planet soon. Did the Silk Road know? Everyone knows that sea freight is cheaper than land transportation, so why do we insist on building trains for land transportation.

Do you know the first cosmic velocity? If we build a train that is fast enough to exceed the speed of the first universe, then we can fly directly along the railroad tracks into outer space. But to reach this speed, it takes a long train track to accelerate, and what is the largest land mass on Earth? Eurasia, from Shanghai all the way to Paris, do you think this track is enough......"

As soon as Xu Yan opened the conversation, a string of terms was thrown out like no money, from aliens to Einstein's theory of relativity, from national strategy to investing in the future, until the rice was cooked, when Wang Youquan served him rice, he said to the point: "Start investing now, as long as you insist on investing 1,000 yuan every month, you can get 2 million out of the game after 2 years, or directly change the quota of immigrants to foreign planets." If you insist on 5 years, you can bring all your immediate family members...... Until 2160, aliens will descend on Earth, and all those who invest will be immortal......"

Wang Youquan knew the details of Xu Yan, and he didn't believe in this set of things at all: "Then how long have you invested now?" ”

"It's only been more than 1 year."

"Then if you borrow another 10,000 yuan, won't you be able to wait until 2 million? You have fifteen thousand settling-in money in hand, right? So what are you doing here? ”

"No, my goal is not 2 million in 2 years, 2 million is nothing, and now I can't even buy a house. Every citizen of the People's Republic of China has only one investment opportunity in his life, of course, he must grasp it well, and I am ready to invest 12 million in 5 years. ”

"Then counting the treatment of this project, you are only less than 20,000 yuan, right?" Wang Youquan asked.

"That's right."

"Then let's make a bet, you know that I can get 20,000 yuan after completing this project," Wang Youquan picked up the playing cards in his hand and said, "I'll bet 20,000, you can draw three cards from these cards, I only draw one, if one of your three cards is bigger than mine, 20,000 will belong to you, in turn, as long as I am bigger than yours, you only need to give me 2,000 yuan, this is very cost-effective, right?" ”

Xu Yan shook his head, resolutely rejected the temptation, and said righteously: "The 2160 Project is a great cause at the national strategic level, and it is the biggest opportunity for the rise of the Chinese nation in 5,000 years. Gambling is a zero-sum game that does not create real wealth for society. ”

Wang Youquan silently pulled the food and vegetables in his mouth, not wanting to deal with this neurotic anymore. Xu Yan also seemed to see Wang Youquan's stubbornness and distrust, but he firmly believed that as long as he persisted, Wang Youquan would eventually be convinced, just when he was about to organize the language again and carry out the second wave of offensive, he found that Wang Youquan was looking at himself with a long mouth, and he was slowly stuffing rice and braised beef in his mouth, but at this moment he seemed to have completely forgotten them and forgot the instinct to chew.

"What you just said, Project 2160, do you mean where are the immigrants going?" When Wang Youquan spoke, his mouth opened and closed, as if his jaw was cramping, and it looked extremely unnatural, as if what he was stuffing in his mouth was not rice, but *, and his mouth would explode if he did something wrong.

"A sun 27 light-years away, 12 times bigger than us."

"What about the Earth there?"

"There are seven livable planets out there, each of which is bigger than Earth."

"How many moons are there?"

"This ...... I won't know until I go back and check the information. Xu Yan really doesn't remember it so clearly.

"No need, look back, have we been selected by the state to participate in this project?"

Xu Yan turned his head, then raised his head again in surprise, and then his neck was the same as Wang Youquan's mouth, as if he had been half-clicked, completely forgetting the instinct to move. All that was left of the whole body was the eyes working desperately, staring back and forth desperately at the four moons in the sky, the four round moons that were as big as a silver plate.
