Chapter 19: The Spiritual Position
Yu Yongqiang became like this, Li Zhen didn't expect it. But in this way, he can rest assured - presumably Aunt Liu and Qi Yuanshan will not have any trouble.
Then it's time for him to get down to business.
There is no such thing as a "taxi" on the road now, and Li Zhen can only walk. The fog on the street hazes the landscape, and dejected-faced passers-by stumble like the walking dead. He walked for a while, and suddenly felt that the world world under his eyes was very similar to the "steampunk" world described in the novels he had read before. All electrical equipment failed, and humans had to use steam engines. If this situation continues, perhaps no war will be needed, and human civilization will go to self-destruction.
Oil and coal reserves are finite, after all, and almost half of the world's energy sources in the past century came from nuclear and solar energy. If we can only rely on traditional energy in the future - how long can such a large number of people and so many industrial equipment last?
Perhaps within a hundred years, human civilization will usher in a great recession, even more terrible than the situation two hundred years ago. Because people at that time were accustomed to inefficient and ignorant days, and modern people can no longer accept that kind of society without guilt. And most importantly - the loss of hope.
After all traditional energy sources are exhausted, human beings can only be trapped on the earth, and the best result is only to restore agricultural civilization.
Actually, that's what he's trying to figure out now. What causes this? And how long will it last?
When he was in the Philippines, he watched people in the military experiment.
One battery β one battery in perfect condition, in an intact flashlight. Put through.
But it just doesn't light up.
When the aurora first fell, electronic devices malfunctioned on a large scale, and at the time it was thought that some kind of intense radiation destroyed the fragile electronic components. But then it turned out that things were much more terrible than expected.
In fact, those things are all good, and the only abnormality is the "current".
In other words, the charge is no longer moving directionally.
This kind of thing is far beyond anyone's understanding, and even psionic things are pediatric compared to this thing. This means that the electric field is gone, the voltage is gone β some physical law is changed.
This thing is already incredible.
However, what is even more incredible is that those who can manipulate electricity can also create lightning or arcs. Someone once tried to introduce the lightning transformer created by the capable person into an electronic device - and the result was that it worked normally.
This means that the competent's own abilities are not affected by the changed rules and can still function.
It's as if there is a child who can't see but has great powers and uses an invisible hand to use a certain physical law as his own toy - only people and things that are in his heart can escape some invisible shackles.
Li Zhen felt that he might not be able to think about it clearly, but he had faith in another person.
Shen curtain.
Three hours had passed when I felt that Shen Mu had rented the factory. The mist lifted. From a distance, he could see two men standing in the doorway. He wears the uniform of a certain department and holds an assault rifle in his hand.
Seeing him approaching, one of them raised his hand: "Stop." β
Then the man's face showed the kind of expression that Li Zhen was used toβsurprise, confusion. So Li Zhen opened his mouth and said, "I'm Li Zhen, I'm here to see Dr. Shen." β
The guards looked him up and down in disbelief. After that, he asked uncertainly, "Are you ......?"
"That Li Zhen from the Secret Service." Li Zhen nodded.
The other person's mouth opened wide. But because of his identity. Or try to suppress the surprise emotion. Nodding to him, the expression on his face softened a lot: "...... Then you wait a minute. β
Then he glanced at another person, who was equally surprised, opened the door and walked in.
Two minutes later, footsteps were heard in the door. Immediately, the iron door was pushed open with a bang, and Shen Mu himself walked out. Then he stood still and raised his hand: "You...... You're not dead?! β
He had already heard this sentence calloused to his ears, but he had to passively accept it again and again. I had to smile slightly: "It was a misunderstanding at the time." β
Shen Mu stomped his feet: "Hey! I've got a tablet for you! β
Listening to this tone, I wish he was dead. However, Li Zhen probably knew what kind of temper this person was, so he also knew what he wanted to express. It's just that what I didn't expect was ......
Set up a tablet for yourself?
What the?
Shen Mu had already excitedly walked over and grabbed his hand: "Engong, you come, you come and see!" β
Li Zhen had to follow him to the door.
If Li Zhen had come to this warehouse rented by Shen Mu, he would definitely be surprised by the scene in front of him. This is no longer the shabby, filthy, rusty, rust-smelling abandoned factory building. It becomes a clean and tidy place with bright windows and a very warm look.
Many large instruments are still in the center of the field, but there are several rooms separated by plates around them. Potted plants are lined with vibrant plants in the corners, and there are also relaxing spaces made of sofas, chaise longues, and glass coffee tables next to the plants.
Shen Mu grabbed his hand as he walked and said, "I was reading the newspaper at that time, and the newspaper said that you were dead - I thought at the time, why didn't those officials die, why did you die?" The more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable I became, and I didn't get a good night's sleep for two days. Then I thought about it - it's better to die early, and I don't need to be angry with those people. To be alive as I am - what's the point? I'm surrounded by a bunch of idiots, and I get angry when I see them......"
Li Zhen interjected when he stopped to breathe: "Dr. Shen, you are ...... Got it wrong? How do you call me Engong? β
"Hey! Without that sentence you said back then, I wouldn't be able to do this now! Shen Mu shook his head, "You may not care, but I do." If I couldn't get the money that day, I would have committed suicide by going out to Jinghu - but it didn't really matter if I didn't die...... No, I can't die. Once I'm dead, can those fools take out these things from me? Impossible, right? No way! β
Li Zhen had no choice but to stop talking, and let him pull himself to a small room at the end of the hall, and pushed the door open.
As a result, I saw an incense case.
An incense burner was placed on it, and three sandalwood sticks were inserted in the stove that were about to be burned. Behind the incense burner is really a spiritual position - the position of Engong Li Zhen.
Li Zhen stared at the thing for a long time. It wasn't until Shen Mu asked in a triumphant tone, "How is it, I didn't lie to you?" that he came back to his senses a little, and grinned reluctantly: "Dr. Shen, your kindness...... Well, I get it. β
Shen Mu waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "This is as it should be." Without you, there would be no me now. Just leave this thing there - you can use it again when you do die one day. β
Li Zhenzai didn't know how to answer this.
Fortunately, a middle-aged woman came over with a few clothes in her hand and pinched Shen Mu's arm: "What are you talking about?" β
Shen Mu grinned in pain. And the woman looked at Li Zhen in surprise a few times, and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, don't be like him, Lao Shen doesn't like what he says, but his heart is good......"
Shen Mu rubbed his arm and waved his hand at her impatiently: "What do you know?" Hurry up, hurry up, go, don't interject! β
The woman didn't care, and only nodded at Li Zhen: "Mr. Li, stay and have lunch." β
Li really wanted to reply, but was pulled up by Shen Mu again. He complained to Li Zhen as he walked: "Alas, this woman is really troublesome. β
However, Li Zhen could hear the flavor of these wordsβlike a person complaining, "Alas, I really don't know which girlfriend to go with tonight"βit's not so much a complaint as a show-off.
Shen Mu is a very interesting person. He thought to himself, it's a straight gut.
From the time he entered the door to the present, Shen Mu didn't give him time to speak. Now he has been pulling him into a large room, slamming the door: "I used to have a large area here." As a result, after this woman moved over, she found someone to make it like this - tsk, clean is clean, how troublesome! β
He scratched his head, let go of Li Zhen's hand, walked to a desk in the room, and picked up a stack of materials: "I'm quite satisfied here." β
Li Zhen smiled and looked at the room. It looks like a spacious study, with walls that seem to be made of fluorescent material, and two outward-facing windows that keep the room from being dim. Right now, Shen Mu was standing at the desk, surrounded by a pot of lush cloud bamboo. He was wearing a neat shirt, trousers, and shiny black leather shoes on his feet. The glasses he wore were no longer the black plastic-rimmed glasses he wore a year ago, with white threads wrapped around the temples, but instead a pair of clean rimless glasses.
The whole person looks very different...... It all seems to be the credit of that woman.
Li Zhen responded: "Yes." That was my sister-in-law just now? β
In fact, he really just said it casually - to set the stage for what he was going to say next.
As a result, Shen Mu raised his head and grinned: "Hey, it's all from last year." β
Li Zhen realized that he had asked a stupid question.
"I got the model out last year and joined that research group. I said there was an aurora in April, but they didn't believe it, but it turned out that there was an aurora in May! But they said there was something wrong with my theoryβand it happened that another idiot came out with something specious, and as soon as it happened, they thought the idiot's theory was correct, and kicked me outβ"
Li Zhen interrupted him: "Hmm...... You say it's April, but it's actually May β and they're not wrong about you, are they? β
Shen Mu slapped the table irritably: "It's the same thing!" How far apart can April and May be? My theory is large-scale-" He opened his arms and drew a large semicircle, "high-end atmosphere!" β
"Isn't it ridiculous if I asked you to use a needle to stick a target the size of a coin at a distance of a kilometer, and you hit it β and then I said that your needle hit but was a millimeter away from the center point β isn't that ridiculous?"
