Gu Fengchun nodded, wanting to say something, but his throat seemed to be blocked, so he had to nod again and again, approached Gu Zhenting's side, and said after a while: "Dad, you are so anxious to find me, what happened?" ”

Gu Zhenting coughed, his mood calmed down slightly, and said: "I just took on a very special task, I need your help, this project is very dangerous and arduous, would you like to help me?" Gu Zhenting squinted at Gu Fengchun, looked at this son who had not seen him for several years, and felt like he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle in his heart, to tell the truth, Gu Zhenting never wanted Gu Fengchun to be involved in things related to Bureau W, he knew better than anyone that once he got involved with Bureau W, it would be equivalent to losing his freedom. In particular, there is no way that Bureau W will allow any leakage of items related to Project 001. Although Xie Haidong made a guarantee, who can guarantee that Xie Haidong's guarantee is valid?

Gu Fengchun smiled quietly and said, "Dad, I'm your son." Just one word you say is enough. Gu Fengchun saw that the wrinkles on his father's forehead were getting deeper and deeper, and he said with pity.

Gu Zhenting could only smile bitterly. "The project I took on was the core task of the W Bureau. It not only affects the future direction of the W Bureau, but also affects the lives of many people. For it, enough innocent lives have been stopped breathing. So we can't fail, and if we fail, we die. Kid, are you afraid? Gu Zhenting sighed and said. Gu Zhenting thought in his heart, as long as Gu Fengchun was unwilling, he was determined to send Gu Fengchun out of this place, and he would not force his son. He was even more reluctant for his son to take risks for him.

Gu Fengchun thought for a moment and said, "Father, since it's so dangerous, why do you want to accept it?" ”

Gu Zhenting's expression was solemn, and he said with a sad face: "That's because I'm a scientist, and I'm willing to give my life for everything that fascinates me, not why, just because it's there to summon me, I have to go, and you don't have to." ”

Gu Fengchun nodded and said, "I have your blood flowing in my body, it can't be Lao Tzu's heroic son Bear, right?" After saying that, he smiled knowingly and said, "Dad, don't try to protect me anymore when I'm a child, I grew up in Director W, I can adapt here, and I can do the work you can do, don't worry about me." After saying this, Gu Fengchun turned his head to look at Colonel Zhang, and he smiled at Colonel Zhang: "Uncle Zhang, I think you must have a confidentiality agreement with you, bring it to me and sign it, I know your time is urgent, let's talk less nonsense, right?!" ”

Colonel Zhang sighed: "If there is really a father, there must be a son, Zhenting, I really admire you for having such an outstanding son." After speaking, Colonel Zhang took out a crumpled agreement from his pocket and handed it to Gu Fengchun.

Gu Fengchun took it, didn't even look at it, and signed the three words Gu Fengchun at the end. Gu Fengchun has long been very clear about the content inside, and there is only one result of leaking secrets, and that is the death penalty.

After Gu Zhenting watched his son sign his name, his face twitched, and after a long sigh, he looked at Colonel Zhang with a tired face and said, "Okay, take out all the files and objects, and I'll explain to Feng Chun about this task first." ”

Colonel Zhang nodded, walked to the side of a row of silver-gray cabinets in the reading room, and opened the cabinets. Inside the cabinet was a large stack of thick files.

Gu Zhenting closed his eyes, thought for a moment and said, "The task I took is the project numbered 001 in Bureau W. Project 001 involves a lot of things, but there is one ultimate goal, which is an underground ancient city in an area of Lop Nur.

"Bureau W was not the first institution to study this project, earlier than Bureau W was a scientific research institute named 042, which was established in 1950 and was abolished in 1967, and the reason for the cancellation was because of a major accident in Project 001; After the accident, the superiors set up a team to deal with the aftermath of the accident, which was the predecessor of Bureau W. When Gu Zhenting said this, he stopped, he looked at Gu Fengchun's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and stopped to let Gu Fengchun speak.

Gu Fengchun felt that his throat was a little dry, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "What happened?" ”

Gu Zhenting shook his head and said, "Don't worry, listen to me slowly, the things of decades are not clear all of a sudden." I saw Gu Fengchun nodded, and Gu Zhenting continued: "Let me talk about the 042 Research Institute first, the country is not long, after a long war, there are many strange things happening, when the 042 Research Institute was first established, it was only responsible for dealing with some strange and unexpected things in the people, and by the way, collecting some strange people and strange people for the central government to dispatch and perform some special tasks." It was not until 1956 that the 042 institution officially began working on the 001 project. This project originated from a great man and an ancient book. ”

At this time, Colonel Zhang and Ye Ya were already holding a thick bundle of files next to Gu Zhenting, and in addition, there were several boxes made of sterling silver. There must be something valuable stored inside. Gu Fengchun looked at it at a glance and saw a yellowed note pasted on a box, on which were written three dragons flying and phoenix dances, swallowing mountains and rivers, "Picking Immortals", Gu Fengchun didn't need to look at the second glance to know that this calligraphy is definitely the handwriting of a great man, in addition to his handwriting, in addition to being eclectic, elegant and elegant, there is also a temperament that no one can imitate in it.

Gu Zhenting gently opened the sterling silver box. Inside was a very worn-out looking book, and Gu Fengchun was quick to find that the book had been repaired many times, and the broken place had been reframed once. Gu Zhenting motioned to Gu Fengchun to take a closer look at the book.

Gu Fengchun had to hold his breath and gently hold up the book, as if he could inadvertently exhale the book that had been eaten by silverfish and turned it into confetti.

There was also an inscription on the cover of this broken book, but Gu Fengchun was very stunned when he saw it, because he couldn't understand what those three words were written. At first, he felt that the fonts were quite familiar, similar to the mature Zhuwen in the Western Zhou Dynasty. But when I tried to identify it carefully, I found that it was not, and the text at that time was far from being so neat. But it can be judged that it should be the same writing system. Gu Fengchun smiled bitterly and asked, "What kind of text is this?" ”

Gu Zhenting shook his head and said: "We call him the Western Zhou Secret Script, it is very similar to the Great Seal, but it is independent, and there is not even a single word of the same, but fortunately, we have partially deciphered this book, although it is not 100% accurate, but the experts have done their best." ”

Gu Fengchun nodded, did not speak, gently uncovered the broken book, and said softly to Gu Zhenting: "Dad, have the experts determined the age of this book?" ”

Gu Zhenting nodded and said, "After the determination of carbon fourteen, it was written about 1,600 years ago. ”

Gu Fengchun nodded and said, "To be precise, it was two thousand six hundred and thirty-four years ago, and carbon fourteen was not very accurate, but the strange thing is that paper had not been invented at that time." Gu Fengchun said a little incredulously.
