Chapter 80: Is It Her, Not Her?
Yuan Haochen kept returning to his office all the way.
"Hao Chen, you're back, will the report go well?" After entering the office, the elder Goethe was busy sorting out his papers.
"It went very well! Thank you for your concern. Yuan Haochen didn't say anything, and hurriedly walked into the data room.
"Look at you always in such a hurry." Goethe said with concern, "How about I get you a pot of hot tea?" β
"Thank you, Goethe." Yuan Haochen suddenly felt a little soothed.
Although I haven't been here for a long time at the IEA (Interstellar Exploration Alliance) Pacific Base, there are a lot of things saved in the data room.
After a long search, Yuan Haochen finally found what he was looking for.
"That's it." The file box in Yuan Haochen's hand was the information about the excavation project of the ancient city of Loulan that Lin Feng sent to him before he came to report to the IEA Pacific base.
After receiving the email sent by Lin Feng, Yuan Haochen sorted out and archived these materials for future reference.
Since he unexpectedly met Commander Roland of the IEA Indian Ocean Base at the report meeting today, Yuan Haochen's heart has not calmed down for a moment.
"Perhaps, some clues can be found in these materials." Yuan Haochen thought to himself.
"Hao Chen, the hot tea is ready." Old Goethe's slightly hoarse voice could be heard outside the reference room.
"Okay, I'll come over here." Yuan Haochen replied while packing up the required materials.
"This is green tea from China!" Goethe Sr. said with a smug look on his face, "I spent a lot of effort to get this here." β
"Thank you, Goethe, for bothering you." This situation made Yuan Haochen's mood more and more soothing. It is not easy to meet a foreign old man who cares so much about him in this foreign country.
"I know that you are tired of drinking coffee and milk every day, I will prepare some snacks for you, you can go to work with peace of mind." When the elder Goethe had finished speaking, he turned and left, and went to prepare.
With a smile on his face, Yuan Haochen didn't say anything, just quietly watched the back of old Goethe leaving.
Later, Yuan returned to his seat, opened the file box, took out the electronic storage device, and connected it to the computer.
Relying on his superb reading and memorization skills, Yuan Haochen began to quickly browse through a large amount of information.
"yes, that's it." Shown in the information are several pictures of stone coffins.
Yuan Haochen looked at these pictures and recalled his conversation with Lin Feng at Tsinghua University again
"After you transported the meteorite back to school, we also continued to investigate the royal cemetery of the ancient kingdom of Loulan-Sun Tomb."
"Did you find anything special?"
"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."
"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."
"Roland, Loulan," Yuan Haochen fell into deep thought, "Could this vacant coffin have anything to do with her?" β
"Could it be that Commander Roland really has a connection with Princess Hanyue?"
"If it's really her, it means that Commander Roland has been living in this world for almost 2,000 years! No, it's too unnatural."
"In this world, there are still many life science puzzles that we can't explain, maybe Princess Hanyue has encountered some special experience"
Yuan Haochen thought of his experience with the strange meteorite, isn't it also a mystery that can't be solved yet?
At the desk, the light fragrance of tea wafted over with the thick steam, attracting Yuan Haochen's attention.
Yuan Haochen looked at the crystal-textured teapot, and a few tea leaves stretched, floated, and sank in the clear and turquoise liquid.
He just watched quietly, the pot of tea soaked in the crystal teapot, at the moment under the reflection of the light, the buds and shadows of the water, reflecting each other.
Yuan Haochen poured a cup with great interest, and a bud leaf slowly sank to the bottom of the cup with the tea.
Served in the mouth, the tea taste is slightly bitter, but bitter but not astringent, bitter and sweet.
A long-lost sense of familiarity cleared the boredom in Yuan Haochen's chest, and there was only a piece of emptiness left in his mind.
There are many unexplainable things in the world, but this does not mean that it is impossible and unreasonable, maybe it is just because of the limitations of our cognitive abilities.
"However, the feeling between Commander Roland and Princess Hanyue in the dream is really too different." Yuan Haochen put down the teacup in his hand and continued to think.
Princess Hanyue is beautiful, elegant, gentle and dignified, while Commander Roland is bewitching, weird, and full of oppression.
It was precisely because of this that Yuan Haochen gave up the idea of direct communication with Commander Roland.
Obviously, you can't get a concrete answer by just thinking about it, and Yuan Haochen is busy in front of the computer again.
Half a day has passed.
"No, nothing!"
Yuan Haochen not only searched all the information provided by Lin Feng for the excavation of the ancient city of Loulan, but even consulted all the information related to the ancient kingdom of Loulan on the Internet.
However, they did not find even the slightest bit of information about the character of Princess Hanyue, as if this character was only fictional and not real.
In Yuan Haochen's view, there may be three possibilities for this:
1. After the mysterious disappearance of the ancient kingdom of Loulan, most of the relevant historical documents and archival materials also disappeared into the vast sea of sand with this mysterious country;
Second, in the past years, some people deliberately hid the relevant information of the character of Princess Hanyue from the long river of history.
3. Princess Hanyue is nothing more than an illusory existence in a dream, and the resemblance between Commander Roland and her is just a coincidence.
"The third possibility is relatively large, but the first and second possibilities cannot be ruled out" Yuan Haochen was constantly weighing and judging in his heart.
"Hao Chen, take a rest, it's not too early." Goethe the Elder knocked on the door and walked into the office.
"Okay, wait a minute."
"By the way, Goethe, do you believe in immortality?" Yuan Haochen suddenly asked thoughtfully.
"Hahaha~, I definitely hope that there is such a thing as immortality, so that I can live a few more years." When the elder Goethe heard this, he laughed, and after laughing, his eyes showed a little sadness.
"I'm sorry, Goethe, but I didn't pay attention to my words and made you sad." Yuan Haochen immediately realized that there was something wrong with his problem.
"It's okay, I'm still confident that I can live another 50 years." Goethe Sr. shook his head and said comfortingly, "I am now living happily every day and in good health. β
"Although life is hard to resist the passage of time, I believe that our life will be meaningful!" Yuan Haochen looked at old Goethe and said with emotion.
"Life is limited, but you are in control of the wonders of life. In life, it is inevitable that there will be regrets, and everything always wants to be fulfilled, so it is often a big disappointment. β
The elder Goethe sat down on the sofa, and he seemed to remember the past, and he also recounted it.
"In the past 60 years, many of my memories have faded away, but there are always a few things, a few people, always like stars in the night sky, flashing in the sky of my heart, making me sigh, regret or warm."
After listening to the old Goethe's narration, for a long time, Yuan Haochen did not say anything more, but picked up a pen and wrote a line of Chinese characters on the tableββ
There is no end in heaven and earth, and human life is like the morning glow. Between the world and the earth, if the white horse passes through the gap, it will be all of a sudden!
After writing this, Yuan Haochen was even more firm in his beliefs and goals.
"Because life is short, I shouldn't waste a morning and a night! The vast universe, I will spend my life for you"
