Chapter 7: Conjecture
Inside the house, Lao Xu was still hesitating.
"I'm really not sure about this, I'm afraid of misleading you, so I haven't said it. Originally, your origin was inexplicable enough, and today I heard you talk about so many even more inexplicable things, so I think it's better to tell you, whether you use it to judge for yourself. ”
"Okay, you speak."
"The night I rescued you, because there were very few street lights in Zhenghe Park, the light was very dim, I couldn't see the surrounding situation clearly at that time, and the flashlights of me and the Gao team suddenly went out when we approached the Dragon King Temple."
"Extinguished? Then you just said that you saw me lying on my back at the water's edge? Wei Lingdong was puzzled.
"I've told you this before, when something on your chest was shining."
"Did you tell them about the flashlight going out?"
"No, I don't think it's a big deal, after all, my hands are burned like this, and it's normal for the flashlight battery to burn out."
"Actually, the light on your chest was a little weird at the time, and I seemed to see ... I saw those white lights drifting into the air like mist. Lao Xu said as he gestured in mid-air with his slightly old right hand, trying to do it like a water wave, but he shook his head again, as if he wasn't sure and didn't believe it, "Because I was going to save people at that time, I didn't look carefully at all, and I didn't have time to think about anything." ”
"Light? Fluttering? How is this possible?! There is no quality in light, and I learned this last year! Wei Lingdong was confused.
"I also know that light has no quality, but when I think about it over and over again, I always feel that there is an uncomfortable feeling when I am close to the back of the Dragon King Temple, and that feeling almost starts to occur when the flashlight goes out, it doesn't come from you, nor from the willow tree, but... Rather, it came from mid-air. It was a strange feeling, like static electricity in the air, and the hairs were going to stand up, as if it was going to pull people's perception into the air! It's not pulling the body, if we have a soul, it's like pulling our soul! ”
"That night is the eighteenth day of the winter moon? Moonshine should be bright, right? Wei Lingdong remembered the date that Lao Xu had mentioned earlier.
"Moonlight?" Lao Xu was confused for a moment, trying to remember, and after a few seconds, he shook his head, and then seemed to think of something, his eyes widened like copper bells, "I don't remember the moonlight at all!" ”
Wei Lingdong straightened down, and he thought of a possibility from Lao Xu's uncertain words.
"Do you think ... There was also a black hole there at the time? ”
"Well, the more I think about it, the more likely it is, and with what you told me today, I'm even more sure. This black hole should be the Einstein Rosen Bridge in physics. Lao Xu's tone was a little excited, and he seemed to have found the answer.
"Wormholes?"
"Yes, in layman's terms, it's a wormhole," Lao Xu nodded, "but this wormhole is not like in science fiction movies, stirring up the surrounding air like a tornado, it's very quiet, like a ghost, so quiet that I almost ignored it, and also ignored the moonlight that should be very bright, only its abnormal attraction effect made me vaguely feel its existence." ”
As a person born in the nineties of the last century, when Lao Xu was young, college students were already everywhere. Although he studied science at a third-rate university, his basic knowledge was there after all.
"According to your common sense of physics, it is impossible for a black hole to appear on the surface like this. Neither the Oppenheimer limit nor the Schwarzschild radius will allow it to occur. Wei Lingdong is now very conflicted in his mind.
"I can't answer you about this, after all, I'm not in physics, but there is someone who may be able to answer your doubts."
"Who?"
"Lu Fengyang."
"The boss of Fenghua International?"
"Hmm."
"Why?"
"First of all, he must be proficient in physics, secondly, he single-handedly promoted the Yuanwang Project, and finally, and most importantly, from the time you appeared, all the information of you and me was in his hands, and he was present when I was in the hospital and when I reported to the higher authorities after I was discharged."
"Every time?"
"Hmmm! It stands to reason that he just needs to know the details and watch the live video. Why be there every time? And he's a businessman, and as far as I know, he doesn't have any political status, so why is he qualified to intervene in such a secret place? So, I think if you ask him, you might get a lot of information that you want to know and I can't answer you. ”
"Okay, I'll call someone to check his address." Wei Lingdong got up and prepared to leave.
"Wait," Lao Xu called him, "he lives on the top floor of Fenghua Building, which is his office and his bedroom. Also, I want to ask you something. ”
"Huh?"
"Have you ever seen each other? Like what... Was he present when you communicated with the above? ”
"Nope"
Wei Lingdong shook his head and walked out of the room to close the door.
Back in his room, he began to think about what to do next, whether to go directly to Lu Fengyang or find someone who contacted him officially. After weighing it, he chose Lu Fengyang, whom he had never met.
The time pointed to 12 midnight, and the downstairs of Fenghua Mansion was empty, and there were hardly pedestrians in sight. The street lamps cast long shadows on the ground, and the orange lights shone on the rows of cars, reflecting a brilliance that was different from the true color of the cars.
Looking up, except for the aviation obstruction lights on the roof outlining the outline of the building, there are not many windows in the whole building, and Fenghua International does not advocate overtime. Moreover, a lot of work can be done from home. Due to the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, the organizational structure of "company" is being eliminated by society little by little, and more fragmented and flexible working methods are gradually replacing people's traditional thinking of "going to work".
For example, Lao Xu went to Zhengheyuan at night to patrol (although it was a night patrol, there were also two shifts off--- it was really a surplus of labor, and too many jobs were replaced by AI). During the day, you are free to choose to pick up some jobs online. During the day today, he took on three jobs at the same time, one was to help a user living in a villa in the south of the city clean up the swimming pool, and the other was to send a disabled resident near Zhenghe Park to seek medical treatment, and the hospital was on his way to the south of the city. Another is when I came back from Chengnan in the evening, I helped a customer bring back some goods sent to the Chengnan high-speed rail station from other places. Traditional truck drivers have almost disappeared, all trucks in big cities are unmanned, and the owners of trucks are new types of truck "drivers", they no longer drive trucks, only responsible for taking orders on the intelligent network, set up to do some of their favorite things, or have greater economic pressure, to pick up some work that requires manpower to complete, such as tutoring, such as elderly care, organization and planning of various activities, etc.
