Chapter 19: Father and Son Meet
"Everything that has a appearance is false, and seeing the appearance is not the same, that is, seeing the appearance is as it comes" - "Diamond Sutra"
At 9:20 a.m. on July 16, 2016, after the 36th cycle of Jiang Huanshui's feeding cycle
When he received Jiang Huanshui's call, Jiang Henglian had just sent Li Feng away.
The recent Daxing natural gas explosion has controlled the entire media, public opinion and various media channels.
After all, on Chinese soil, although there were no fatalities in an explosion, the cross-shaped beam that rose into the sky as high as 100 meters was still terrifying.
As a staunch materialist, Jiang Henglian has always disbelieved in immortals, Buddhas, gods and demons.
But the difference in this event is not just the cross-shaped beam.
At the time of the explosion, an ultra-precision high-energy radiation detector in Miyun, Beijing, detected as many as a dozen sets of anomalous readings.
Time is just the time of the explosion.
Jiang Henglian looked at the data yesterday.
In just twelve seconds, there were thousands of abnormal changes in height and low, and the violent peaks and troughs were connected into a chaotic mad dance, making people unable to find a clue.
It declined rapidly in just six seconds, and by the time I went to the field again, it had disappeared completely.
α radiation level 0
β radiation level 0
γ radiation level 0
Trans proton detection level 0
......
At first, everyone thought it was a broken instrument
But when 76 detection instruments, 3 supercomputers, 8,600 high-precision sensors and detectors process the results point to the same fact.
No matter how stubborn the researcher was, he was silent.
The incident soon alarmed the higher-level leaders, and after a whole night of research and debate, the "Doji" project was officially launched, with Jiang Henglian as the first reporter, and he took the lead in the whole project.
Under the highly effective control of the press, it was as if nothing had happened.
But in the internal video data, the clear, bright beam of light stood there for a full twelve seconds.
And with that roar.
“Lvvvvvvvvvvvvv”
The sound is very donkey, in fact, combined with the frightening picture, and the damage caused, it is really terrifying.
If it is really as focused on in the courtyard, then it will undoubtedly be a disaster for the whole world.
Jiang Henglian tried not to think about the terrible picture behind, and submitted his suggestions and conclusions to Li Feng.
Well, a young man from a relevant department.
Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't say what you shouldn't say, and have the people above you to decide.
The phone rang.
It was the phone number of his son Jiang Huanshui.
Although since Su Baijin's death, the daily communication between the two people is not too much, but after all, blood is thicker than water.
The child is too much like his mother, seemingly lively and cheerful, but in fact, his heart is closed, he knows many people, and he has too few friends.
Alone, withdrawn like a lone wolf in the wild of Moscow.
A Volkswagen slowly drove into the parking lot of the community.
In the living room, father and son meet.
"You said, you want to sell the house", Jiang Henglian didn't have much surprise on his face, but his tone was as serious as ever.
"Yes, Dad" Jiang Huanshui lowered his head slightly, his eyes were as plain as water, and the corners of his lips shrouded in shadows under the light.
"Do you know what you're doing, you should know that if you sell it, you won't be able to buy a second home in a short period of time, where do you live?"
"Dad, I've quit my job"
"What happened, what's going on? It's not like your usual style."
"A little bit of your own thoughts, you take a look at this first" Jiang Huanshui took out a printed document that had already been prepared, thick, more than a hundred pages.
Jiang Henglian took it suspiciously, and first turned the next page number, printed on the front and back, 269 pages.
"You wrote it yourself?"
"Hmm"
Fifteen minutes later, Jiang Henglian put down the materials in his hand, closed his eyes and was silent, and five minutes later.
"Okay, I get it, let's do it"
"Thank you Dad, I ......"
"Understood, from childhood to adulthood, when did I stop you. What's next?"
"I want to go to the United States first"
"Well, book the itinerary early, I've been too busy lately, I may not have time to send you, let's have a meal together tonight." Haven't we eaten together for almost two months?"
Jiang Huanshui's tears seemed to be dazzling, not because his father supported his actions, but because he was the penultimate sentence.
It's a pity that I can finally eat a normal meal again.
He never thought that happiness would come so easily.
He will often think about it in the future, and happiness goes very quickly.
Always think about it.
Seeing off his father in the evening, Jiang Huanshui still had to make the rest of the preparations, he picked up the phone again and dialed the fifth call of the day.
At 21:11 p.m. on July 16, 2017, Sui Jianzhi looked at the ultra-pure quantitative power smelting furnace in the thick isolation glass, and lay on a chair in the studio in a lazy position.
I'm graduating in one year. Thinking of the paper that he hadn't written a few words before and the more ethereal next home, he was worried for a while.
Every day, I look at the stove here, do experiments with unknown results, and record untitled data, and my life and destiny are like collapsing and chaotic atoms, and I can't find a clear place to go.
The lighter sounded softly, and a wisp of pale blue smoke drifted into the air.
After a few seconds, the high-sensitivity smoke alarm next to it starts flashing red, and in the next ten seconds, it will alarm the fire, and the fire will be synchronized to the fire safety computer on the basement level, and the system will record and analyze the data in ten seconds, whether it is an accidental smoke or a real imminent fire.
"Pong"
The hard fist and the equally hard plastic shell make an intender touch.
The red light stops working at 0.03 seconds after contact.
"Bell bell bell"
The phone rings.
Holding a cigarette in his left hand, through the smoke, the flashing screen is a micro-tech UTK-75 avatar, the composite alloy steel processed by the precise CNC machine, and the blade presents an industrial precision artistic texture.
The source of the request is marked below: Jiang Huanshui.
"Hey, Brother Jiang, well, I'm not busy, I'm looking at the stove, don't mention it, I fell asleep watching the stove recently, and burned out a few furnaces of scrap steel, hurry up today to see if I can make up the original one" The cigarette continued to burn in his mouth, and the dark red light was constantly flashing.
"Well, it's good to go directly to the processing plant for this matter, why are you looking for me" The white cigarette roll paper was extinguished into gray-white embers, and a few wisps of cigarette ash fell on the tiles that were originally white.
"It's a lot of money, you just invite me to a meal, anyway, it's the stove in the studio, what to burn is not to burn. But okay, you have to let the materials be prepared over there, the materials on my side are all to be booked, and there are a few pieces missing, and the boss can't explain it" The burned cigarette butt was thrown into an empty canned bottle, and there was already more than half a can of "corpse" in it.
"Ah, you're coming tomorrow? not tomorrow, I'll have to go down there tomorrow, not in the studio. The day after tomorrow, just arrive early the day after tomorrow, I'll pick you up at the station" The mobile phone changed from being held by the cheek to being held in the left hand, and finally a precious hand was free to do this simple action.
"Well, okay, that's it, see you the day after tomorrow" In the ultra-pure and quantitative power smelting furnace, the item about the time setting has quietly passed the predetermined value, but there is no steel tong to clamp the workpiece out for subsequent processing.
"Mmmm, okay, really, you don't need to bring money, you can come, I haven't seen you for a long time, hahahaha" It is foreseeable that it will be difficult for the year blade to have time to sleep tonight.
Sui Zhizhi, who hung up the phone, looked at the stove inside the thick isolation glass, looked at the meter that exceeded the prescribed time for a full minute, and spat out the classic two words in his mouth.
"I*"
