Chapter 56: The Scientists' Shock
On a high-speed rail line from east to west, EMUs departing from the imperial capital are speeding through the green grasslands at a speed of 350 kilometers per hour. It was early summer, and the vast grassland was a scene of grass growing and warblers flying.
Outside the window, bridges, lakes, and distant houses all passed quickly, but Holleth didn't have the heart to enjoy the scenery. He frowned, staring blankly at a coin erected by the window, his mind reminiscent of yesterday's meeting with scientists from the Huaxia Academy of Sciences.
Instead of instilling in him the theory of the origin of the human race that is "anti-human", as he imagined, the scientists in China immediately talked about a lot of things that Hollust did not understand at all.
That's the philosophical point of view of the East, Hollust only knows this, as for the "qi" they mentioned, Holleth is completely unacceptable, it is obviously a kind of energy, but it is not energy, and it is claimed that the life of all things is maintained by "qi", so what is this "qi"? Can it be detected with scientific instruments?
"Old man, are you still struggling with yesterday's events?"
A man sat down beside him, and Hollois turned his head to see Enoch with a cup of coffee in an elegant and casual manner.
Hollust shook his head, looked at Enoch with a relaxed face, and was a little surprised: "Enoch, don't you think all this is too illusory?" β
"What do you mean? The phenomenon of abnormal evolution of the concentration and unity of species suddenly appeared in this world? Or does it refer to the 'Five Elements Doctrine' mentioned in the report of Chinese scientists? Or is it the steles that fell from the sky and the superpowers that those who wielder have acquired? β
Seeing Huo Lesi shaking his head gently, Enoch took a sip of coffee gently, clicked his lips and smiled: "Old man, don't doubt what you see in front of you, since they happened, then accept them honestly, there's nothing bad about it!" What is the difference between a paranoid clinging to the old views and the sticks of religious dogmatism in the Middle Ages? β
Huo Lesi was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said in distress: "Of course I understand, it's just that the worldview that has been established for decades has suddenly been questioned, which is really painful. β
Hollust is a rigid person, this type of person tends to stick to his own opinions, and is very difficult to be distracted by people who disagree.
As the saying goes, what kind of world you live in depends entirely on your understanding of the world! Holleth is a scientist, and his rich scientific literacy has given him a complete set of structural frameworks for his understanding of the world! He has always been accustomed to explaining natural phenomena from an inherent scientific point of view, and there is nothing more enthusiastic than firmly suppressing the poisonous insects of superstition in the abyss.
But now that the science he was proud of had been hit like never before, and he had become like a lost lamb, how could he not feel pain?
"Old man, don't get into the horns, you might as well change the angle, maybe it's the 'Cambrian' of science now?"
Enoch said that he was more receptive to the existence of "God" than to Holleth's insistence.
"Cambrian?" Holleth's eyes lit up.
Cambrian is a term for geological time, about 600 million years ago, the evolution of geology entered the Cambrian period, and this period is also known as the era of the explosion of life. In just a few million years, the vast majority of invertebrates appeared on the earth, and before that, scientists could hardly find any animal fossils, this short explosion of life, is also a major unsolved case in geology and paleontology, and has long plagued the academic world such as evolutionary theory.
"You have a point, maybe I should change my mind......" Hollust touched his chin thoughtfully.
"Haha, that's right, you know, I can't wait to get a taste of that magical power right now, you see how charming it is!"
"That's right, I'd love to see it now!"
Holleth nodded in agreement, his eyes showing fascination.
A few hours later, Holles, Enoch and other scientists arrived at the train station in the western part of the prairie, and then transferred to a shuttle bus to the destination of the trip.
This is a military camp, located in the middle of a vast wasteland, covering an extremely large area, like a secret base.
When the bus carrying Huo Lesi and others drove into this heavily guarded secret base, the scientists on the bus clearly felt the solemnity and solemnity in the barracks, and their expressions became solemn under the influence of this.
"Welcome, I am Yi Peng, the person in charge of this special base, you can call me General Yi."
A soldier with the rank of lieutenant general had been waiting there for a long time, and when he saw the scientific delegation, he received them very warmly.
"General Yi, it's a pleasure to meet you, now let's get straight to the point and see what you have achieved!" Thinking of the purpose of the trip, a "strategic scientist" from the American Academy of Sciences, the leader of the scientific delegation, could not wait.
"Of course no problem!" Yi Peng nodded, and then led everyone towards the depths of the base.
Hollust and other scientists hurriedly followed, and along the way they saw rows of neatly lined soldiers walking in front of them, their complexions darkened by years of drilling, and the desert camouflage set off the fortitude on their faces.
Walking towards the depths of the base, the scientists were amazed by what they saw.
"It's really a great military appearance, such an army is used for war at first glance."
"Look, there's a live-fire drill going on over there, look at the power of this explosive explosion!"
Soon, they arrived at their destination.
"Oh God, what did I see!"
Huo Lesi was silent in the live ammunition drill not far away, when suddenly an exclamation attracted his attention, and when he turned his head, he saw several teams on the side of the school field not far away, these teams were in groups of more than a dozen people, and they seemed to be doing some kind of drill at this time.
"What are they doing?" Holmes' eyes showed bewilderment.
I saw that in front of those soldiers, there were bluestone slabs about three fingers thick, and their hands were raised high in the shape of knives, as if they might fall at any time.
Splitting stones by hand?
A thought flashed through Huo Lesi's mind, he understood that there seemed to be a kind of juggling technique called "chest crushing boulders" in Chinese folk, but after a little research, he knew that it was more of a clever application of the knowledge of physics.
"This kind of backward acrobatics is also practised in the Chinese army? But if this is smashed with bare hands, the bones of the hand will have to be broken! β
After a short period of thought, Holles came to a very scientific conclusion. But the actual situation is that the hand bones of those soldiers were not broken, and with their loud shouts, the knife-like hands fell high, and then there was a series of crisp sounds, and the thick bluestone slabs actually broke into two pieces in response.
Holeth swallowed, he looked at his hand, then at the broken bluestone slab, and shuddered at the pain in his mind.
"How did they do it?" His eyes widened and he muttered to himself, a look of confusion on his face.
Then he saw that those soldiers began to increase the size, one bluestone slab, two bluestone slabs, according to the different limits of each other, the cumulative number of slabs is also different, the most one soldier has increased to five, that is, the yard has become a stone bar almost twenty centimeters thick!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The raised hands fell in unison, and the five bluestone slabs broke in response.
The members of the scientific mission were completely stupid, and they knew that this was not something that ordinary people could do! Suddenly, they had a stirring spirit, and their minds recalled the report they had heard at the Huaxia Academy of Sciences yesterday. My heart trembled violently, could I say...... These people are all supermen who have practiced special exercises?
That's right, it must be like this!
Holles' heart suddenly became hot, and if that was the case, he must study it carefully.
"Don't be surprised, it's just their daily training...... It's a bit shabby and a little funny to look at, but it's the most effective way to do it. Seeing the shocked expressions of these scientists, the corners of Lieutenant General Yi Peng's mouth were slightly hooked, and he said calmly.
"General Yi, it's not funny at all, I mean, this kind of scene is really shocking! These soldiers are the elite recruited by your country, right? β
The leader of the scientific delegation came to his senses immediately after a short period of stunnedness.
Lieutenant General Yi Peng nodded and said, "Yes, these soldiers are our elite selected from all over the country, a total of a thousand people, and they are currently undergoing special training. What you're seeing now are a couple of teams from the third echelon. β
"In other words, there is a first echelon and a second echelon above this?" Someone reacted.
"Yes."
The members of the scientific mission were silent, knowing very well what "special training" meant, and that was the purpose of their visit. Next, under the leadership of Lieutenant General Yi Peng, they met the legendary second echelon. The number of people in the second echelon is not large, there are only a hundred people in total, and these people are all martial artists who have refined their sense of qi and have a certain amount of internal strength.
Their training method is to fight, only to see hundreds of people scattered on the spacious circular school field, fighting each other fiercely, looking at it from a distance. From time to time, mechanical stone throwers throw huge stones weighing dozens of pounds from all angles. These fighters have to deal with falling boulders in the sky while fighting each other, which can be described as quite difficult.
A thumping sound came from the field, and a scene of rubble flying all over the sky.
To the surprise of the people of the scientific delegation, the soldiers of the second echelon were vigorous and vigorous, not only fighting each other vigorously, but also dealing with the stones that fell from the sky.
The stones were like papier-mΓ’chΓ©, punches and kicks, and the volley shattered into pieces.
A few scientists even suspected that there might be fraud in it, and after personally testing it, they learned that these stones were hard granite, and there was absolutely no fake!
