Chapter 40: The Guardian
What it looks like after twelve o'clock in the evening.
"Whoa~" The silver door opened automatically.
Dragging his tired body, he walked into the bedroom with a small area and a minimalist layout, and Mu Yunhua fell directly on the soft big bed.
With her eyes closed, it seemed that in just a few seconds, she would be able to fall asleep and relax her body and mind.
But......
Even if she is very longing, she still can't fall asleep like this, because after a busy day and sweating, she has to take a big bath, tidy up her image, and strive to face her subordinates and the people with a fuller attitude tomorrow.
So in terms of personal image, at least half an hour is delayed every day.
It takes a morning to deal with official business.
It will take an afternoon to guide the cultivation of the population and the building of military strength.
I also have to spare four or five hours in the evening to participate in some major scientific research projects.
The daily schedule is full.
The actual time left for her to rest and sleep was only 8 hours.
Then you have to freshen up, dress up, tidy up, and make arrangements for tomorrow, and the time for real sleep is only 6 hours.
It's like being covered in clockwork, and I've become a complete workaholic.
Even if the people around her advised her to rest many times, she still didn't dare to relax at all.
After all, what she carries on her shoulders, but the fate of the entire human race is the heaviest burden, and even a minute of spare time is a luxury for her.
……
After taking a bath.
With some wet long hair, he fell down on the big bed regardless of his image, turned over, pulled the blanket with one hand, covered his body, closed his eyes, and let his mind go without thinking about anything, so as to get the best quality sleep.
If you think too much, you are prone to anxiety and insomnia.
But even so, some memories of the past will still emerge from the depths of my mind like movie clips.
There is joy, there is sorrow, there is beauty, and there is despair.
Of course, the most is bland, the blandness washed by time, no matter how intense the pain, under the wash of time, there is no longer much sense of reality.
She even misses the more than ten years of losing her personal freedom, although she was imprisoned, she was able to sleep the most lazy every day, without worrying about responsibilities, and every day was the most idle and relaxed state.
The mind is free like never before.
And after resuming that responsibility.
She often can't help but sigh: "Freedom, desirable, above all else; Duty, heavier than Mount Tai, extremely sacred. I can only choose one of the two, and I am afraid that I will never enjoy the slightest freedom anymore. ”
Even if she is in a state of incarceration, there is more freedom contained in it than she is now.
Now she is just a working machine.
"Can anyone help me?"
With a muttering sound, she couldn't help but say a weak word.
In this extremely dark universe, who else will help you but rely on yourself?
Her nonsensical fantasies are just used to relieve stress...... As a woman, occasionally in a state of sensuality, she will also think of something unrealistic to escape from the cruel reality.
However.
Just in the next second.
A blinding white light suddenly lit up in front of him.
couldn't help but open a little slit in his eyes, and Deng Shi was quite surprised.
A small ball with white light floating thirty centimeters in front of it, as if it could be reached.
Mu Yunhua subconsciously stretched out her hand, and the glowing ball did not dodge, but fell into her palm.
"What is this?"
The small ball the size of a marble has a smooth and round surface, as if there is no friction, and there is no obvious touch, so it feels like it will slip out at any time.
"Glass balls, glowing balls, or some other toy?"
There are many children in the immigration base, and Mu Yunhua, who often goes to education and guidance, has seen many toys, and marble toys are one of the more popular.
She subconsciously thought that this little ball might be some kind of toy, which also has a luminous effect.
Suddenly.
The ball of light in the palm of his hand, the light dimmed, getting darker and darker, and gradually coincided with the weak light in the bedroom, and the surface changed for a while, and it actually disappeared.
In other words, to be one with the environment.
Mu Yunhua's face changed, she knew that the ball was still in her hand, but her eyes couldn't see its existence, and she immediately knew: This is a high-tech spy device.
A little more passed.
The color of the ball in his hand continued to change, absorbing the light around it, and the surface became darker and darker, like a miniature black hole.
Mu Yunhua can't understand what the purpose of this "performance" is?
Her face became serious and solemn, and she said to the 'black ball' in her hand, "Who are you and what do you want to do?" "She's ringing up in her heart, who is playing such a prank with her?
Hear her questioning.
The ball changed again, emitting green light all over its body, several pillars of light flickered, and in the air, a broad bean-sized text was diffracted out.
And the text is changing, one at a time, like a carousel, changing one every 1 second.
Mu Yunhua let go of her hand and read the words, which happened to be the H characters she was extremely familiar with.
"I ...... Can...... In order to...... Help...... You"
Rumble~
Mu Yunhua was taken aback.
couldn't help but throw away the ball in his hand, moved his body back, and his face became very ugly: "What are you kidding?" Stop doing this boring prank! ”
Spying on her private life with such a disgusting thing, she will definitely not spare it if she finds out who it is!
The ball floated in the air again, slowly approaching, the top of the green light flashing, and the words were displayed one after another:
"I ...... Be...... High...... Wait...... Wen...... Bright...... Target...... Supervise...... Control...... device"
"Who the hell are you?!" Mu Yunhua's face changed greatly, is it still a Sierra Star person?
"Don't ask me who I am, but I can really help you."
"Do you think I'm going to fall for your tricks, Sierra Star, and that your plot has been used against me?"
"Guess what, of course, as a sign of sincerity, I'll give you a gift here."
The ball floated above the metal table across the bed, shooting a yellow laser from the bottom, carving a series of marks on the metal table.
After etching.
The ball floated back to Mu Yunhua, revealing a line of text: "Don't expose my existence to anyone, or I will disappear forever." ”
Immediately, the surface of the ball gradually became transparent and disappeared.
But Mu Yunhua knew that the little ball was still in his room.
Getting out of bed, she walked over to the desk across from the bed, turned on the light, and looked at the monitor device, which had left any marks on the table.
"Numbers, Letters, Constants...... This is a formula and, moreover, is related to the four fundamental forces of action. ”
Suddenly!
Her face changed drastically and said, "The Great Unification Formula!" The complete unification formula, the ultimate physics formula that we have not yet derived! ”
As a genius-level top scientist, what this formula was, she knew at a glance, and almost screamed.
But I still have doubts in my heart: is this really a unified formula?
Or ...... Is it a trap?
But...... The formula in front of her was so simple, beautiful, and elegant that her subconscious told her that it could be true.
Then she took her electronic notebook and copied the formula on the table: "Whether it's true or not, I'll verify it tomorrow!" ”
……
The next day.
Inside the Blue Space.
In fact, a large-scale particle collider was formed more than ten years ago and put into basic science experiments.
However, no significant results have been achieved.
This afternoon.
After more than 30,000 particle collision experiments.
Looking at the results that are more and more consistent with the formula curve, some excited scientists in the laboratory have already cheered in advance.
"Although the constants given are not necessarily 100% accurate, the main part of the formula is 300% accurate! The formula of unification is derived. ”
"From the perspective of science and strict prohibition, there may be some errors and omissions in this formula, but looking at its neatness and elegance, it must not be too different from the real unified formula."
"Nope! I can safely say that this is the unification formula! We've basically verified all the other equations, but this formula, even if I haven't started to verify it, has already given me the feeling that 'this is the truth'. ”
"Yes, I felt that way at first glance."
"Captain!"
The leader of the science group, Zheng, asked Mu Yunhua on the screen: "Where did you get this formula?" If it is still correct after a million verifications, our technology can be advanced by at least 50 years, saving a lot of time. ”
"It's a ...... Well, it was a dream I had last night, and I saw it in the dream, so I immediately copied it down. ”
Mu Yunhua thought for a moment and said, last night the monitor warned not to reveal its existence, otherwise it would disappear completely.
What do you see in your dreams?
Hearing this explanation, Team Leader Zheng and other scientists were thoughtful and not surprised.
"This must be from the will of the universe."
"Perhaps the captain has been thinking about it all day, and the god of science has been moved by her sincerity and has given this gift."
"God? Indeed, it can only be explained by the dreams of the gods, and with the wisdom of our mortals, how difficult is it to decipher such truths? So the answer was announced. ”
Mu Yunhua felt a little hot on his face, this is too far, right?
"Everyone, you guys continue to verify, I'm a little tired, I'm going back early today."
"Okay, you can rest early."
Mu Yunhua decided to leave work early, more than two hours in advance, and returned to his residence as fast as possible.
……
The door was closed.
Turned on the lights in the bedroom.
Leaning against the door, he took two deep breaths.
Long.
Mu Yunhua's eyes widened and said to the air in front of him, "Come out, I know you're still here." ”
After more than ten seconds, there was no reply.
"Stop playing hide and seek, show your face."
Still no reply.
"Okay, okay, I beg you, come out quickly!" Mu Yunhua's attitude softened.
Really.
A small dark gray ball, untransparent, appeared in front of her.
The green light flashed at the top, revealing the text: "Well, it should be ruled out, I'm a monitor of the Sierra Star, right?" ”
Mu Yunhua nodded and said, "I don't know why you want to do this, but the Sera Star people shouldn't have the need and reason to do this, so ......"
She paused and asked, "Can you tell me what civilization you are?" ”
The green word in the air said, "Do you think I'll say it?" ”
"It should ...... No. Mu Yunhua thought for a while.
"Bingo, that's right."
"Can I ask some questions that you will answer?" Mu Yunhua raised his head and said.
"Just ask."
"Why help me? That formula should be true. ”
"Well, that's a bit hard to answer, but if you have to say it, I'm a kind partner, and in this way, I'm very kind, so I'll help you." The green text reads.
"Kindness?"
Mu Yunhua smiled, this is the worst reason, it is not convincing at all.
Her eyes were attentive, and she said with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "I'll ask directly, what is your purpose?" What do you want from me? What can I offer you? If you have a need, I will try to meet it, as long as it ...... You can also give back some help as appropriate. ”
Wise woman.
Chen Jin, who was in front of a screen, sighed: In just a few words, Mu Yunhua roughly guessed his purpose and mastered a certain initiative.
EQ and IQ are extremely high.
But......
Chen Jin didn't want to fall into her routine, easily exposing the purpose of his desire to cooperate, and lowering his mystery and style.
After thinking about it, he said: "Actually, I just want to help you, without any other purpose, if I have to say it, it is that I want to be your guardian and serve you only." ”
Bang~
Mu Yunhua's heart seemed to have been hit by something.
The heart, which has been beating normally for hundreds of years, suddenly accelerated a little bit.
"Guardians?"
But there was no expression on his face, and his tone became cold: "I can understand that you are teasing me, right?" Mysterious alien creatures of unknown race, unknown appearance, and unknown gender. ”
"It's a little romantic, do you think I'm going to say something like that, do you know how much courage I mustered? But you found out about me? But ......"
The green word said: "My words are true, I will help you and become your guardian." ”
Mu Yunhua fell silent.
I asked so much, but I didn't find any useful information.
However, no matter what the other party's purpose is, there are two points that can be basically confirmed:
One, the other is a high civilization. And it is obviously much higher than the civilization, otherwise it will not be easy to come up with a unified formula.
Two, the other party has no malicious intent. In other words, he is not aware of the malice for the time being, and has a purpose that is unknown for the time being.
Figured out both of these points.
Mu Yunhua felt that he could use the other party to provide him with some help, no matter what the "reward" the other party ultimately asked for, at present, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.
Even, there is hope for a way out of the next wave of crisis.
……
Three days later.
Mu Yunhua brought a necklace device, and a hollow bud-like container hung at the bottom of the necklace was a signal conversion device.
Put the marble-sized monitor into the bud-shaped signal conversion device, and by changing the switching frequency of the light, the monitor can use the optical coding method to achieve the fastest communication of 200MB/s.
Whether it is voice or video, it can be easily transmitted.
Coupled with the miniature headset with signal translation function worn on Mu Yunhua's ear, the two can have a direct language conversation.
The necklace is worn around a slender and fair neck, and the upper body curve is very steep due to the long chain.
The bud-like "ornament" is located just above a 'deep groove'.
And shortly after putting on the necklace.
An exclamation came from Mu Yunhua's headset: "Hey, this snow-white world, with a ceramic-like luster, a wonderful depression...... Oh, wow quack~~ Is this heaven? ”
Mu Yunhua's face turned crimson.
Quickly took off the necklace, gritted his silver teeth and said, "You damn alien!" ”
