"How do you prove it?"

"How do you prove it?"

Hopkins frowned, the existence of "Poseidon" is a secret, but since he decided to take out "Poseidon" to make money, it is only a matter of time before "Poseidon" is exposed!

This made Hopkins a little uncomfortable, and it was like letting his wife go out and sell it.

But people are poor and short-minded, nothing more than this.

After thinking about it, he replied: "Three days later, this Saturday at two o'clock in the afternoon, Marbury Beach, I will prove it to you!" ”

Soon, Hopkins received a reply: "Tell me your phone number, I'll call you when I arrive!" ”

Hopkins hesitated for a moment and replied, "I'll send you tomorrow." ”

The next day, Hopkins applied for a non-real-name mobile phone number and sent the new number.

……

Three days went by in a flash.

Early Saturday morning, Hopkins arrived at Marbury Beach in his pickup truck and two sets of scuba gear.

Marbury Beach is a well-known public beach near Los Angeles, with many tourists, and the reason why this place was chosen was to prevent danger, once the negotiation could not be reached, the other party might not dare to do anything to him in front of so many people.

On the other hand, Marbury Beach is not far from the sea where Poseidon cruises, and further north of Marbury Beach is the Santa Monica mountains, which are inaccessible to people, and it is convenient to hide the traces of Poseidon's appearance at that time.

Upon arrival at Marbury Beach, Hopkins left his pickup truck and scuba equipment in the parking lot, rented a umbrella and a deck chair, and drank juice while waiting for the mysterious man to arrive.

Although Hopkins seems calm on the surface, judging from the way he picks up his phone from time to time to check the time, it is enough to show that he is stuck inside.

Unbeknownst to Hopkins, at this time, on a small hill about a kilometer away from him, Pang Xuelin was observing his performance through a telescope.

Minutes and seconds passed.

Past eleven.

One point forty.

One point fifty.

Two o'clock!

……

In the Bluetooth headset worn by Pang Xuelin, MOSS's voice came: "Professor Pang, it's time, do you want to call him now!" ”

Pang Xuelin smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, hang him for a while." ”

Sure enough, seeing that the agreed time had passed, Hopkins began to get anxious.

Get up from time to time and look around.

But he never meant to leave.

It wasn't until half past two in the afternoon that Pang Xuelin put away the telescope to observe Hopkins and returned to his car.

Fifteen minutes later, Pang Xuelin parked his car in a parking lot near the beach and walked straight to where Hopkins was.

Hopkins was very good-looking, he looked surprisingly thin, and his neck was like a thin stick, so thin that it was hard to believe his disproportionately large head, which made him look somewhat unusual.

At this time, Hopkins was wandering the beach with some restlessness.

Pang Xuelin walked straight forward and said with a smile: "Hello, Professor Hopkins!" ”

Hopkins raised his head, couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly smiled: "Professor Pang, hello, are you also coming to Marbury Beach today?" ”

Both are professors at the California Institute of Technology, and they have met several times in school and know each other.

However, in terms of academic status, the two sides are very different.

In this world, Pang Xuelin is a BSD conjecture proover and a Fields Medal winner, and he can be regarded as a big man in the entire California Institute of Technology.

Hopkins is nothing more than an ordinary professor of an unpopular major.

The two are not the same level at all.

Pang Xuelin smiled and said, "No, I'm here to find a friend, Professor Hopkins, what about you?" ”

"Ah...... I made an appointment with my friend to come over, but he still hasn't come. Hopkins said a little absent-mindedly, "Professor Pang, I still have some things, so I won't talk to you more, let's miss me first." ”

With that, Hopkins turned to leave.

Pang Xuelin smiled faintly, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Hopkins.

"Professor Hopkins, are you waiting for me?"

Listening to the voice on the phone, Hopkins suddenly turned his head, and an incredible look flashed in his eyes: "Professor Pang, you are MOSS?" ”

……

Ten minutes later, the two came to a parasol rented by Hopkins and leisurely drank ice juice on a deck chair.

"Professor Pang, why do you want to post such a message on the dark web?"

When he learned that his employer was Pang Xuelin, Hopkins' originally nervous state of mind calmed down a lot.

Pang Xuelin said: "Dark web trading, don't ask the reason, Professor Hopkins should understand this principle!" ”

Hopkins was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

Pang Xuelin said: "Professor Hopkins, I'm curious, what is your way to make the goods evade the neutrino detector of the customs and send the goods into the United States silently." ”

Hopkins looked around and said, "Professor Pang, it's not convenient to display here, please come with me!" ”

With that, he got up and took Pang Xuelin into his pickup truck, and drove directly to a relatively secluded beach.

Hopkins then got two sets of submersible gear off the body of the pickup truck, as well as a more odd cylindrical piece of equipment.

Hopkins said, "Professor Pang, change into a diving suit." ”

"Professor Hopkins, are you going to tell me that I can get in and out of the North American continent through this wetsuit?"

Pang Xuelin said deliberately.

Hopkins said, "Just put it on, and you'll understand later!" ”

"Okay, then I'll put it on first!"

Soon, Pang Xuelin put on a diving suit, put on diving fins, put on an oxygen cylinder, and said: "Professor Hopkins, it's the first time I've played this kind of diving, and it's up to you to be safe in the sea!" ”

"Don't worry, with me, there will be no problems!"

In the marine environment, Hopkins showed unprecedented self-confidence, and on weekdays, he seemed to be a different person.

Pang Xuelin nodded, and together with Hopkins, he carried the cylindrical device and walked towards the sea.

After taking a closer look, Pang Xuelin found that the cylindrical device, with a small spiral award underneath, according to Hopkins, was an underwater power unit that could help the two dive further.

But Pang Xuelin always felt that this equipment had something else to offer.

Because if you want to get in touch with "Poseidon" underwater, Hopkins will definitely have to do it with the help of some kind of equipment.

So far, it looks a bit like this equipment.
