Gao Xuan was trapped in this sinkhole and went through three seasons: summer, autumn and winter. From the beginning of summer to the end of mid-autumn; Then change from mid-autumn to soaking, and end in early spring. In the year, he survived the exposure to the hottest period and the soaking during the coldest period!

Since Gao Xuan endured the soaking of the harsh winter, although the old man kept saying that he would torture Gao Xuan with more cruel means, for some reason, a few days passed, and he did not take action. Even the previous punishment, exposure and soaking, stopped unconsciously, and Gao Xuan enjoyed a rare leisure for more than half a year.

In fact, in these ten or eight days, Gao Xuan not only did not suffer torture, but also felt that the people here gradually relaxed their supervision of him. Several times, Gao Xuan had every chance to escape easily, but he didn't escape, he took the initiative to choose to stay. This was done for one reason: it turned out that during the devastation of most of the year, whether he was tied to a rock or sunk in a deep pool, Gao Xuan felt a helicopter hovering over his head several times, and at the same time, he was sure that people had come down from the plane and brought supplies. This reflects that the three masters and apprentices here are not isolated, and there is a larger group behind them elsewhere or outside the mountain. Being able to own or use a helicopter shows that this group has a lot of energy! Perhaps, in this group, their master and apprentice are just shrimp soldiers and crab generals. Then, if there is sin involved, the culprit must not be in this pit. If you run away and call the police now, it will be easy to destroy this place, but it will be even more difficult to make no fish slip through the net. If you startle the snake like this, the gains will outweigh the losses.

Therefore, he decided to stay first, even if he would be devastated and tortured by a bigger and more perverted person, even at the cost of his life.

Gao Xuan, who has been idle, has become a lot more well-behaved. Everything goes along with those three people, speaking softly, doing things and doing heavy work.

This trick is to pretend to be a person in front of Sun to admit it, and secretly dig deep and study it carefully. Finally one day, Gao Xuan found that another group of people had come to the pit, seven or eight, led by the old man, all the way to Gao Xuan's side. Among them was a burly man, and the old man complimented him very much, and at first glance he was the leader of the group. Vaguely, Gao Xuan heard the old man call him "General".

"General? Is it an official rank or a nickname. Gao Xuan pondered: "If the general is the identity of the person who came, then I don't know how deep the water I happened to catch up with." ”

The "general" came to Gao Xuan and stood still. After staring at Gao Xuan for a while, he asked the old man, "You mean him?" The old man nodded with his head bowed. In that case," said the general, "let him follow." When the old man heard this, he motioned for Gao Xuan to follow. The group walked towards the east end of the row of houses.

When he came to the room, the old man took out the key and opened the door, and the general, the old man, and Gao Xuan entered one after another, and everyone else stood on both sides of the door. Inside, Gao Xuan knew that this was a conference room: there was an oval conference table in the middle of the conference room, around which there were chairs, and the entire wall opposite the door was covered by a huge screen, and there must be a huge map there.

"Your name is Gao Xuan, right? Come, sit here. The general pointed to a chair beside him.

Gao Xuan was stunned and inexplicable: since he came here, no one has asked him what his surname is, and he has never told anyone about it. How does this general know his name?

The general seemed to have grasped Gao Xuan's thoughts, and laughed: "Don't panic, get closer." Today I'm here to answer your questions. And he said, "You should know, let you know, it's time!" ”

After Gao Xuan sat down, the general patted Gao Xuan on the shoulder and said, "During this time, I have made you suffer, I'm sorry!" ”

Gao Xuan looked at the old man in surprise, and the old man nodded and smiled. A deep, never-before-seen kindness was written on his face. It completely subverted the "demonic" shape that was imprinted in Gao Xuan's heart.

"First of all, I would like to formally explain to you: we are a scientific research team that is about to carry out a noble and great exploration, that is, the space exploration team. Its particularity lies in the fact that, unlike the previous means of exploration, we use a new way of exploration. In this way, it is necessary to train a person with special skills to operate. Cultivating someone with special skills is not an easy task, we have collected information from thousands of people, and in the end, you are the only one who meets the talent requirements! So we chose you.

You have a certain talent, it doesn't mean that you can join directly, to train you in special skills, you must first stimulate your natural potential. The best way to let your innate potential be released and exerted to the greatest extent is to make you hateful, only deep hatred can make your potential play the fastest and most efficient. Perhaps this is the truth of the historical lying salary. What we have achieved with you today is enough to show that this view is true: you have performed better than we expected, and you have unknowingly mastered the ability to withstand the cold. "

Listening to the words, Gao Xuan's heart turned over and over, and he had mixed tastes. The sum of his sins turned out to be a conspiracy that had been set up a long time ago! Being calculated deeply is the biggest pain in Gao Xuan's heart at this time. He really wanted to rush out desperately and find a place where no one was around and cry. The shame and humiliation of more than half a year cannot be eliminated all at once. Gao Xuan clenched his power, gritted his teeth and wanted to smash the general's nose to vent the anger in his heart.

The general also felt that Gao Xuan bit his lip with blood. I know what kind of perseverance this young man is withstanding himself. Seeing that Gao Xuan still didn't say a word, he said: "I know that you are bitter enough, but I still have to make it clear: the cause we will carry out not only carries the high hopes of the country, the nation, and all mankind, but also the inevitable development of the times." Gao Xuan, you tell me clearly, although you were passively involved before, you suffered a lot of grievances and suffered a lot without knowing it. But now that you know a little bit about it, you still have the freedom to choose whether you want to join our team or not. From now on, you can stay or leave, it's your right. I would like to remind you that once you choose to leave, everything here should have never happened in your life, which is a requirement and a discipline, you know. Otherwise, you can't afford to leak the secret. ”

Gao Xuan remained silent.

"That's it," the general said briefly, "I know that it will be difficult for you to accept the reality in front of you for a while, and I will not force you to make a choice to stay or go immediately. Let's talk about this today, give you some time to digest and digest. Three days later, still here, to go or to stay, you have to give me a clear answer. ”

As for how Gao Xuan walked out of the conference room later, he himself didn't know. It was all so sudden, too unexpected. In an instant, sin is gone, and hatred is gone. The pillar of the heart collapsed with a bang. If this continues, what is the goal and what is the direction?

Three days passed, and Gao Xuan's mood was calmed. When he returned to the conference room as scheduled, the general and the three of the old man and apprentice were already waiting there.

"I've thought about it," Gao Xuan said when he met, "I decided to stay and join you!" ”

"Well, it really lives up to expectations," the general said happily, "he is a man and responsible!" After a pause, he continued: "Although our team as a whole is large, the backing is also at the national level. But you are a relatively independent and special detachment. And quipped: "Tang Seng took three apprentices to Tianzhu to learn scriptures, and when they came back, someone wrote a book for them, called "Journey to the West", and in the future, you will go to the universe to 'learn scriptures', and you will constitute a story of Tianzhu's travels." Everyone laughed.

"Now that Gao Xuan has become one of us, it is necessary for everyone to be further familiarized." The old man said: "My name is Sun Weifu, a professor of astrophysics, and the captain of our team" and pointed to the rough man and the thin man respectively: "Yuexiu, Hengken, the two of them plus Gao Xuan, you are the central members of our team." If we want to go to the west to learn the scriptures, our people will be counted."

So far, after getting along day and night for more than half a year, Gao Xuan really knows the names of the three of them. But Yuexiu is three thick and five big, not "showy" at all, Hengken is slender and thin, and it is not very "ruthless" at first glance.

Next, Sun Weifu said: "It is imperative for human beings to move towards space, investigate space, and finally develop and utilize space!" And whoever is the pioneer in this area will come out on top. Its significance in the fields of politics, economy, culture, science and technology, and military is unpredictable! Of course, the universe is boundless, and we know very little about it at this stage. The undercurrents of space are turbulent and frightening step by step, and to explore, develop, and utilize it, sacrifices will be inevitable and even enormous. We must have a full understanding of this point and be mentally prepared.

In the past, the first phase of our exploration was superficial. I call this period the show period. You see, using rockets and other external forces to push spacecraft, space stations, space warehouses, and sky probes into space, walk around a certain orbit, and return almost fruitlessly, and declare to the outside world empty-handed that space exploration has been carried out, as if it is a show? In this kind of exploration, it is difficult to make an effective breakthrough even in the range of the Earth-Moon system, let alone the solar system, the Milky Way, and extragalactic galaxies. Next, we want to break the traditional model, not limited to rocket push, get rid of clumsy detection equipment (such as spacesuits), give explorers a high degree of ease and freedom in the sky, enhance the flexibility of detection and strive to break through the speed of light while traveling, so that our detection is not only in-depth and detailed, but also does not lose the breadth and depth of its detection. ”

Although Gao Xuan is a layman in theory and knowledge, he can also listen to it at this time, and his blood is boiling.
