All sixteen sets of special explosives were installed at various concealed support points at the central processing core of the underground base.

After the installation was completed, according to Guan Dehou's deployment, in order not to arouse suspicion, Yuehani and Olavel both withdrew to the Chinese side.

After reuniting, Guan Dehou also assigned new tasks to the two of them.

Olavel was sent to the German side of the study area to investigate the leads.

Yuehani directly changed the guard with the Chinese personnel of the Precursor Outer Guard Section, and Guan Dehou gave him the task of understanding the anomalies of the personnel in this area as much as possible.

After all the deployments were completed, Guan Dehou realized that if he wanted to survive in a desperate situation, he must be calm and calm, and the more he rushed, the more counterproductive it might be.

But now, with little knowledge of the enemy's next move, Kwan himself must always keep abreast of the various developments in the underground base.

To this end, he let Xianpinghai invade the monitoring system of the entire underground base, and presented all more than 9,000 sets of pictures on a comprehensive large screen, and arranged more than 100 people to be responsible for rotation observation.

At the same time, Xianpinghai also rushed to make a special comparison applet.

This applet is based on the face recognition system, on the one hand, it can facilitate the discovery of the missing Li Shaoan and others, and on the other hand, it can collect information on multiple contacts of the same kind of faces, and when the frequency of contact with such people is too much, it will automatically alarm and remind the observer to pay attention.

With these hardware supports, Guan Dehou is a little at ease.

But there is a more awkward problem at the moment...... That's a serious shortage of manpower.

Regarding this problem, Guan Dehou and others came up with an emergency plan after several discussions, that is, to disassemble and modify the emergency escape pod on the Weiyuan without asking for instructions from their superiors.

The goal was to create a special transport compartment that could transport people in a private cargo aisle.

This scheme is highly feasible, but it is easy to arouse suspicion if the confidentiality work is not done well.

To this end, Guan Dehou asked the upper echelons to conduct a mandatory inventory of all personal belongings to prevent information leakage.

……

It's the end of August.

Guan Dehou, who had unknowingly spent nearly a week in the underground base, has now basically figured out the underground base.

Including the number of personnel in each sub-district, their changing of guard mechanism and personnel deployment are clear.

Coupled with the information feedback from Olavel and others, Guan Dehou also learned that the German side may have an in-depth "neuronal" contact with "Forerunner 3" in the near future, and the experimental goal is to achieve root emotional resonance.

At the same time, Olaver also found that there were 11 suspicious people on the German side, some of them were ordinary security personnel, some were special guards, and some were cooks and "pseudo-scientific researchers" like Li Rang who were basically not involved in direct research.

After the list came out, in order to be sure, Guan Dehou asked Olaway to retreat in the name of sick leave.

On Yuehani's side, he also figured out the change of guards in the "Precursor" area, and found that most of the people here were in high spirits, and occasionally fell into a state of wandering for a long time, as if they were dreaming with their eyes open.

This is a common occurrence, and Tsukihani has tried to understand the reason behind it, but surprisingly, the guards themselves seem to be completely unaware of this "distraction", and do not remember what they "saw" when they were "distracted".

After Guan Dehou listened to the report, combined with Li Rang's previous words, he felt that these guards must have been too close to the "forerunners" for too long, so they were greatly affected, and their bodies may have been changed unconsciously.

However, in order to prevent it from happening, Guan Dehou has already determined one point in the preliminary strategic plan, that is, when backup reinforcements arrive, priority should be given to establishing a defensive line between these people and the experimental area.

……

"Void?" Guan Dehou looked at the report in his hand, and the lock on his eyebrows had never been opened.

"Well, Professor Zeng has been trying to prove the existence of 'Thunderbolt Life' recently, and if Professor Zeng's conclusion is true, then the problem may be even more serious." Zhang Fengyu listed all the previous and recent experiments in China.

When he saw the detailed list, Guan Dehou felt that the research direction of these people was really becoming more and more dangerous.

"Then why do you have to prove that such a thing exists? Wasn't the purpose of the establishment of the underground base at the beginning to be to study the 'gate' through the 'forerunners'? Nashapova asked this.

Zhang Fengyu explained: "Yes, at the beginning of the construction of the underground base, it was indeed only for the study of 'forerunners' and 'gates', but that was the research goal of the first stage, and now the research has entered the third stage, and in the third stage, the research direction has been expanded a lot, for example, the 'factor order' project that Professor Fu Yihan has recently been in charge of has been extended on the basis of the 'gate', and the same is true of Professor Zeng's 'Peri-based Life'." ”

Nasapova rolled her eyes, "But you still haven't been able to tell me what his purpose is in researching this thing?" ”

Zhang Fengyu was a little embarrassed, and he continued: "Actually, I don't really understand why Professor Zeng is so obsessed with 'Pygium Life', but I talked to Yanran, and her explanation to me is...... We can understand the six factors of 'Gate', 'Precursor', 'Factor', 'Peri-based Life', 'Multiverse' and 'Origin of Chaos'. ”

Belch......

There were many unfamiliar words all of a sudden, and Guan Dehou and Nasapova were both inexplicable.

Olavel, who was drinking beer on the side, became interested.

"Oh? What kind of fusion understanding is that? ”

Zhang Fengyu took out a crystal plate and put it on the table in front of him, and turned on the holographic projector at the bottom of the table, and the six factors he mentioned appeared in a specific image.

The "door" is the one found in Antarctica on Lake Don Juan.

The Precursor was the first Precursor 3 to be resurrected.

The "factor" is a small stone.

"Peri-based life" is a translucent, indefinite being depicted based on the outline of a human being.

The "multiverse" is three parallelograms that are parallel to each other and rely on two cones to communicate with each other.

There is no definite form of "Origin of Chaos", and here it is described by a single dot on a blank piece of paper.

After the six factors were concretized, Chu Yanran's projection also appeared.

Obviously, Zhang Fengyu recorded all the chats of that day, and now he is only playing them back.

……

At first glance, these six factors may seem unremarkably linked.

The only certain correlation is between the "gate" and the "forerunner", after all, the "forerunner" is found outside the "door".

However, we still cannot determine whether there is a necessary connection between the "forerunner" and the "door", and it is impossible to say whether the "door" brings the "forerunner" or the "forerunner" opens the "door".

Therefore, the first thing we need to determine is the order of the two.

The current research results show that the time of the "gate" may be earlier than the "precursor", but this is relative to our earth time, that is...... the "gate" may appear before the "precursor", but it does not mean that the existence of the "gate" is longer than the "precursor".

Do you understand this sentence?

……

Not only Zhang Fengyu in the picture is shaking his head, but everyone watching this replay is shaking his head.

Zhang Fengyu didn't speak, just looked at the picture with a mysterious smile.

……

Uh, how do you say that...... Have you seen "Doraemon"?

Zhang Fengyu in the projection replied: "I've seen it."

Then you think of this door as a random door for Doraemon, and before we open the random door and walk through it, there is a door that has already appeared in the place we want to go, so, relatively speaking, for the target location, the door appears before us who passed through the door.

Do you understand that?

……

Everyone nodded, and Olafur laughed even more: "It doesn't sound complicated like this, I thought it was such a difficult thing to understand......

However, as soon as he said this, he found that the others looked at him indifferently.

Olafur immediately stopped laughing and took an embarrassed sip of beer: "Uh, when I didn't say it." ”

……

"It's a lot easier to understand."

Yes, but it's just a conjecture, and even if we're right, it's a mystery what it means for this random door to arrive, why it appeared on Earth, and why the Precursors appeared in the form of bones.

There is still a long way to go before we can find the truth in the true sense.

To this end, we have decided to "retreat as advance".

"Retreat as advance?"

Right.

Since the existing scientific cognition and scientific research equipment cannot fundamentally solve the problem, we must not get into the horns of the bull, but must step back and look at the concrete things as a whole.

Gates do not appear on Earth for no reason, and these forerunners do not "die" for no reason.

Where they come from is the question.

At this time, the space left for our imagination suddenly became larger.

"Oh?"

Think about it this way, in those previous sci-fi or movies, what is the fundamental reason behind similar episodes?

Zhang Fengyu thought for a while and replied: "Generally speaking, it is to invade the earth, or rob the earth's resources. ”

Yes, that's why we're all familiar with it.

But in fact, the earth is not a "sweet spot" in the universe, it is far less attractive than human beings think, but for ourselves, the earth is currently unique.

If we can master the power of interstellar civilization in the future, we will gradually realize that the earth may be a good starting point, but it is only good.

The universe is full of resources that can be collected and made available to us at any time if we have the ability.

The only prerequisite is that we have the ability.

At this time, looking at those episodes in the past, don't you think the earth in our eyes is very "narcissistic"?

……

Seeing this, everyone looked at each other, looking at each other without saying a word, but they could see the surprise in each other's eyes.

Oh, yes......

It's a bit "narcissistic" too much......
