The captain took a big sip of hot tea, looked at Tao Yuan, was very serious and serious, and even asked with a sense of ceremony:

"So, before I give you a sincere explanation, I want to ask you a question, what do you think is the greatest discovery in the history of mankind?"

This question is actually too big, because there are so many great discoveries in human history.

Gravitation, the theory of relativity, the nature of electricity, and so on, all of them are great, but if you want to talk about high and low, it is too difficult to choose the greatest one among them, or the answer given by different people will not be the same.

Tao Yuan took care of himself, slowly lit a cigarette, and took a quiet puff.

He could not fail to answer this question.

In the previous few conversations, he has given the captain the illusion that "he knows my heart well", and in this momentum, the captain will tell more truths, and for such a high-ranking person, the value of one more word of truth is unlimited.

Therefore, for the captain's question, what Tao Yuan needs to know is not which discovery he thinks is the greatest, but to gain insight into the greatness in the captain's heart.

Tao Yuan seemed to light a cigarette unhurriedly, but in fact, he was just giving himself more time to think.

His brain was running fast, collecting all the information around him and integrating it.

The dark office like a cat's ear hole, the torch-like lights, the leather but frictional sofa, the war knife hanging on the wall, reflecting the light, all of them showed Tao Yuan the captain's aggressive character.

"Whew!"

Tao Yuan spit out a smoke ring and said lightly:

"I don't have to listen to my answer, it's certainly against you, but I know what is greatest in your heart. ”

The captain let out an "oh", tapped his fingers lightly on the solid wood tabletop, and asked with interest:

"Tell me about it. ”

Tao Yuan looked into the captain's eyes and said word by word:

"Columbus, New World!"

The captain's eyes lit up and he tapped his fingers on the table, which showed that Tao Yuan's answer was correct.

"That's right, it is the discovery of the New World, which is the greatest discovery in the history of mankind, which has allowed higher civilizations to spread all over the world, guided lower civilizations forward, and gradually changed the world from the concept of nations and states to the concept of a destiny now. ”

Tao Yuan took a slow puff of cigarette and asked in a deep voice:

"This, what does it have to do with beauty?"

The captain nodded and said:

"Yes, more precisely, in relation to the island. ”

Tao Yuan suddenly had a feeling of ridicule in his heart, such a small island, even if it was discovered by humans for the first time, was really incomparable to the former New World, the area was too small.

But he was very sure that the person in front of him would definitely not be so excited about the discovery of a small piece of land, and if he wanted to, it would not be a big problem to buy a few islands of this size to play by himself.

So what is the inevitable connection between this island and the New World?

Tao Yuan didn't make a sound, just smoked quietly, waiting for the captain's next step.

He knew very well that since the person in front of him had the patience to talk to him about this matter, there was only one reason, and that was that they needed their own help.

The captain poured himself another cup of hot tea, he could already see Tao Yuan's curiosity and confusion about the topic of his island New World, which was exactly what he wanted.

I saw him press a button on the side of the table, and said in a deep voice:

"Call the Doctor, I need him to give a lecture to our friend. ”

"Yes, Captain!"

When the captain said this, Tao Yuan saw a very complicated expression on his face.

There's triumph, mystery, and the subtext of "you must not have expected it".

It was easy for Tao Yuan to read these meanings, because the captain did not hide his thoughts in the slightest, and he deliberately did it for Tao Yuan to see.

But Tao Yuan couldn't imagine what could surprise him, and what was he proud of!

Soon, a figure walked into the gloomy office with the sound of the door opening.

Tao Yuan didn't look up, quietly drinking tea and smoking.

He doesn't need to pay too much attention to a person who explains scholarship to him, that will expose more of his heart.

Make eye contact, only when necessary.

"Doctor, you're here!"

The somewhat thin figure nodded.

"Tell this friend of ours about your findings, and let him know the greatness of our deed. ”

"Yes, Captain!"

It seems that the people on this ship all call this middle-aged man the captain, and no one has ever called his name or official title.

However, it was the four simple words in the doctor's mouth that hit Tao Yuan's head like a hammer, and even made his brain appear blank for a short time.

This voice was too familiar to him, from the sound quality to the tone, it made Tao Yuan's mind flash the appearance of a person.

But he was pretty sure that the man was dead, and he died in front of his eyes, shot by Mei.

Unable to contain his emotions any longer, he jerked up at the skinny doctor.

"Whew, whew!"

Even if he has a deep qi cultivation kung fu, Tao Yuan can't help but mess up his breathing at this moment, and his chest is obviously undulating.

Fortunately, at this time, the captain had already turned around, staring at the big screen that lit up behind him, and did not find Tao Yuan's abnormality.

The big screen was covered with mathematical equations and some complex geometric patterns, and the thin figure stood in front of the big screen, and the appearance was clear under Tao Yuan's eyes.

"Jiri?"

Tao Yuan shouted this name in his heart, whether it was his voice or appearance, this doctor was too similar to Ji Rui.

The only difference seems to be that the doctor is fatter and has a bushy beard.

"Twin brothers?clones?coincidence?"

Tao Yuan could only come up with these three answers in his mind, in short, he was sure of one thing, that is, this person would definitely not be Ji Rui, because a person who died half a month ago could not appear in half a month later and appear alive.

But soon, he denied his affirmation.

"What if this is Gilry? Mei didn't kill him, and he got out of the island, then I would be worthless to the captain, and the result would be the same for someone who had no value but had insight into some kind of secret. ”

Thinking of this, Tao Yuan not only had the playful smile of the captain just now in his eyes, but also the smile that contained the subtext of "You must not be surprised".

Yes, this result Tao Yuan was absolutely unexpected, and at this moment, Tao Yuan found that he was completely at a disadvantage.

He slowly released the teacup with his right hand, and hung it down at his side without a trace, and at this moment, a cold light was already hidden between his middle index fingers......
