Chapter 45: Return to Tsinghua Garden

Early the next morning, Yuan flew back to Beijing on a helicopter from the IEA (Interstellar Exploration Alliance) Pacific base.

It's just that this time is different from when he came, without the company of Smith, the man in black, Yuan Haochen was just silent all the way.

Tsinghua University, the campus scenery is still so beautiful and pleasant, after a year of tempering, Yuan Haochen who returned to the university campus again has a lot of feelings.

University is synonymous with innocence, the soaring of youth and individuality, and a training camp and a factory for dreams.

It is said that college time is the most carefree time in a person's life, looking at the youthful faces coming and going on campus, Yuan Haochen is like seeing his former self.

The pavilions are beautiful, the trees are beautiful, the grass is green, the lake is beautiful, and the once familiar scenery on the campus is still there.

Time is like the fluttering leaves, quietly swirling away, and when you notice it, it is long gone.

Those teaching buildings that used to shuttle back and forth day after day, those campus cafeterias that were once extremely familiar, and the libraries that used to be crazy to read books by themselves, bit by bit, like a movie, the screen flashed and passed in a blink of an eye, as if no trace was left.

"I don't know what happened to Deng Xiaochao, Yang Yang, and Zhang Xiaoming," Yuan Haochen stood in front of the dormitory building of the School of Astronomy, muttering to himself.

Yuan Haochen walked up the stairs of the boys' dormitory building one by one, and traces of past memories slowly unfolded in front of him along the footsteps.

When he came to the door that was once extremely familiar, looking at the locked door, Yuan Haochen felt a strong sense of loss in his heart.

"It's lunch break, they should have stayed in the dormitory at this time"

A month ago, Yuan Haochen had contacted Deng Xiaochao, Yang Yang, and Zhang Xiaoming, and he already knew that they were going out to participate in internships in their senior year.

So as soon as he came back this time, Yuan Haochen rushed to the dormitory to meet and get together with them, but it seemed that he still hadn't caught up.

Cleaning up the lost emotions and walking out of the boys' dormitory building, Yuan Haochen went straight to Dean Li Huiqun's office.

"Knock knock" A crisp knock on the door attracted Li Huiqun's attention.

"Mr. Chen! You're back. Li Huiqun saw Yuan Haochen at the door, and immediately stood up excitedly.

"Hello, Dean Li, long time no see." Yuan Haochen saw Dean Li, who had not been seen for a long time, and all kinds of past things instantly came to his heart.

"Sit down, sit down, how did you come back today." Li Huiqun finally suppressed his excitement and hurriedly beckoned Yuan Haochen to sit down.

"Thank you, Dean Li, I just came back from the IEA Pacific base, and I just arrived, so I'll come and see you first."

"Hao Chen, have you passed the test?" Li Huiqun, who finally managed to hold back his excitement, was once again very excited when he heard about the IEA (Interstellar Exploration Alliance) Pacific Base.

"Luckily, it passed." Yuan Haochen replied with a smile.

"That's great!" Li Huiqun's face was full of loving smiles, "Quick, tell me about your experience this year." ”

"Okay"

As Yuan Haochen narrated, Li Huiqun's face was full of smiles, and he kept nodding his head.

"Hao Chen, you are really the pride of our Tsinghua University and the School of Astronomy."

"Dean Li, you have won the award."

"No, I'm really glad that you have fulfilled my dream back then." Li Huiqun patted Yuan Haochen's shoulder with emotion and said.

"I would like to thank Dean Li, it is your teaching to me that made me where I am today." Yuan Haochen said with a sincere face and from the bottom of his heart.

Indeed, Dean Li Huiqun was his first important guide on the road of science and an indispensable mentor on his path of growth.

After a period of greetings, Yuan Haochen got up and said goodbye to Li Huiqun

Walking out of the Academy of Astronomy, Yuan Haochen immediately made a phone call.

"Hao Chen, why did you remember to call me?" A hearty voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Lin Feng, are you at school? I came back to Tsinghua today just to see you. ”

"Great, I'm in the lab, you can come over now, let's have dinner together in the evening."

"Okay, I'll be there in a minute."

More than two years have passed since the discovery of the [Haochen Meteorite] in the ancient country of Loulan.

At that time, Lu Qinglian, Chen Xi and others who went with them had already graduated and left the school one after another, but Lin Feng was still staying in school to study for a doctorate.

At the School of Archaeology, Culture and Museums of Tsinghua University, Yuan Haochen came here for the first time, and after going around and around, he finally found Lin Feng's laboratory.

"Hao Chen, hello. I haven't seen you for two years, and you've gotten a lot stronger! When Lin Feng, who was sunny and handsome, saw Yuan Haochen who walked into the laboratory, he immediately stopped what he was doing and greeted him warmly.

"Long time no see, Lin Feng, you are still the same sunny and handsome." Yuan Haochen said with a smile.

"I heard that you went to Cambridge to study for a PhD, why did you think of coming to me today?" Lin Feng asked as he cleaned up this thing.

"Actually, I came to you today on purpose to ask you for some information." Yuan Haochen replied.

"Oh, that's right, let's go, let's find a place to have dinner and talk while eating."

While talking and laughing, Yuan Haochen and Lin Feng had already arrived at a small restaurant with a very warm environment not far from the School of Archaeology, Culture and Museums.

"Come, congratulations on your Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge." Lin Feng raised his glass to Yuan Haochen and congratulated.

"Thank you, you're about to graduate, and I'll congratulate you in advance."

"Ha, this year is the last year, and I will graduate after completing the next project."

"Speaking of research topics, I came here this time to learn from you about the research situation of the ancient city of Loulan." Yuan Haochen said solemnly, "I hope you can help me." ”

"Don't be so polite, you are the number one contributor to the archaeological discovery of the ancient city of Loulan, I must know everything, and I will say everything!" Lin Feng said with a smile while pouring a full wine glass for Yuan Haochen.

"Do you have any special discoveries related to meteorites in the ruins and cultural relics that have been excavated later?"

"You're still looking for clues to the [Chenchen Meteorite]."

"Yes!"

Over the years, Yuan Haochen has always remembered the research work of the [Haochen Meteorite], and now that he has obtained a doctorate, he is going to carefully supplement and sort out all the relevant information of the [Haochen Meteorite] when he comes back this time.

"Hao Chen, the discovery of the ancient city of Loulan has filled a very important cultural gap in the history of Loulan for the historiography, which is of great significance. In the compilation of cultural and historical materials in the follow-up excavations, although there is also some information about the [Haochen meteorite], it has no special research value. Lin Feng said regretfully.

"That's a shame." Yuan Haochen pondered for a moment and continued, "Lin Feng, can you provide me with a copy of the excavated items and the text and pictures of the site?" ”

"No problem, I'll send it to your mailbox, feel free to call me if I have any questions."

"Thank you so much!"

"You're welcome, I also want to thank you for letting me join the meteorite expedition team, that expedition was really meaningful."

Lin Feng continued to smile and recall some things back then, "After you returned to school, we also continued to inspect the royal cemetery of the ancient kingdom of Loulan, the Sun Tomb. ”

"Did you find anything special?" Yuan Haochen asked with interest.

"If there is anything special, we found an empty coffin among the many royal coffins, which only contained some burial items, but there were no traces of any corpses." Lin Feng seriously recalled the plot of the excavation at that time.

"Through the burial items, we can determine that the owner of the coffin should be a princess or princess, but we cannot determine the identity of the owner of the coffin after researching and studying all the relevant information." Lin Feng said this, and his face once again showed a look of regret and helplessness.

"Princess or princess, empty coffin" A name vaguely appeared in Yuan Chen's mind, as well as some fragmentary memories of dreams.

"Hao Chen, do you have any clues?" Lin Feng looked at the pensive Yuan Haochen and asked excitedly.

"Oh~ No, I just think it's weird, and there are no specific clues."

Yuan Haochen remembered the two strange dreams he had experienced in the ancient ruins, but he felt that they were not very real.

"I guess I'm thinking too much."

(Some book friends reported that the abbreviation of IEA does not look intuitive and impressive.) Therefore, in the future, except in the dialogue between the characters, the description of the narrator will be changed to: [IEA (Interstellar Exploration Alliance)].
