Near Jiuquan in Gansu Province, under a certain strategic fortification, an old man was standing in front of a large pile of drawings and computers at a loss.

"How can we do such a big project with just us?" a young engineer behind the old man said with a wry smile.

The old man also sighed, he threw the third document on the end of the Central Committee back on the table, how could he not know, if he wanted to launch another quantum communication satellite, relying on their dozens of people alone, it was completely a fool's dream. He is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences - Wang Yuanguang, who survived by luck after the end of the world, and then was taken here to preside over scientific and technological research, but about this mission.

Not to mention that many of them were not aerospace talents before, even if they were, it was far from enough, behind the launch of a quantum satellite, there are too many things, not thirty or fifty people, one hundred and eighty people, not even thousands of people can do it, in addition to science and technology, it also needs a very cutting-edge supporting industrial setup, which is not at all possible in a short period of time.

"I'll hand it over, it's impossible for us to launch such a satellite anytime soon." The old man said helplessly.

"But... Academician Wang, if we can't do it within a month and a half, the high-level side will definitely reduce our resource allocation again, or even transfer some of us to study life sciences, and then there will be fewer personnel..."A young scientific researcher said.

"Life science..."Wang Yuanguang was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Life science, is it also science..."

"Forget it, let's do our best, even fifty years ago, when we were poor and white, didn't we also launch satellites?" He said, waving his hand. Wang Yuanguang actually knows very well in his heart that there is little hope of launching a quantum satellite again, but he still has to leave a glimmer of hope for these people behind him, these people are all high-end talents of mankind, if they all go to the so-called life science research, then I am afraid that mankind will really have no future...

"Teacher, why do you think that life science is not science?" A very young one asked.

Wang Yuanguang turned his head and looked at this young man seriously, he has been a discipline leader for many years, and many times he says the same, and few people dare to question him.

"What's your name?"

The young man was neither humble nor arrogant, and said, "Li Yuan." ”

Wang Yuanguang nodded and asked rhetorically: "What is the basis for thinking that life science is science?" Wang Yuanguang's voice was calm, and he didn't have too many expressions because the other party questioned him.

Li Yuan thought for a moment and said: "There are many definitions of science, according to my understanding, in fact, it is just to discover and summarize the laws of truth, and use these laws and truths in practical operation. ”

"The reason why any of my life sciences is science is also very simple. The idea of bioenergy and energy/body ratio is very new, and although there is no systematic theory, several conjectures that have been raised from this point of view have also been tested and positive. ”

"For example, a creature with a high level of bioenergy is not necessarily a creature with a high degree of evolution, but a creature with a high energy-to-body ratio must be an organism with a high degree of evolution. There have been many examples of this to prove, just like the human third-level evolutionary who has just been cultivated in the biological laboratory recently, the biological energy in the body is over 100, but the body has not changed much. ”

Wang Yuanguang looked at the young man in front of him with a smile, feeling both relieved and sad in his heart, this young man was so similar to an apprentice he brought out before, and even the argument with him was exactly the same...

"Half a month ago, someone asked the same question as you..."

…

"I'm sorry, everyone. I'm too reckless, I've caused a lot of trouble on everyone, and I guess I won't be able to enter the safe zone in the future. Yang Fei said apologetically.

Under the auspices of Zhou Zhi, the public trial has been going on, and people have been found out, and Yang Fei and others have slipped out of the chaos.

"No, it should be me who has caused everyone..."Yang Youzhi said with guilt.

"Don't say that, if I encounter this thing, I can't help it." Wu Gang said with a smile.

Jiang Shiyu pouted and did not speak, but there was an extra gun in his hand, which he got from Daniel Zhang. A pistol without bullets was replaced by a rifle, and she was still very happy in her heart, at least the upturned corners of her mouth could be seen.

"Although you said it in an apologetic tone, how can I think you have excitement in your tone..."Jiang Zhi said speechlessly.

Yang Fei smiled awkwardly and said, "How could it be, there is no such thing!" What am I excited about..."

Jiang Zhi rolled his eyes, didn't expose him, thought for a while and said: "Actually, the safe zone is not necessarily really impossible to enter, although it embarrasses some people in the military this time, there should still be a chance to redeem it..."

"A gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall, and if the safe zone can't accommodate us because of this, it's okay for us to leave." Jiang Shiyu said nonchalantly.

Everyone looked at her in surprise, and Jiang Shiyu had no choice but to continue: "For ordinary survivors, the safe zone is naturally impossible to leave. After all, only there can they live, albeit not very well. ”

"But we are different, Yang Fei and I are both evolutionaries, so there is no need to look at their faces. If they want to retaliate against us for this incident, we won't let them succeed easily, it's a big deal to retreat with one blow, leave them some thoughts, and we'll just leave. Of course, if we can stay, it is the best, after all, only by cooperating with the army, can we get such good things..."Jiang Shiyu held the rifle in his hand, and he couldn't put it down.

"That's right, for us, it's better to just live in it than before. Our relationship with the security zone should ideally be a partnership, just like the Hunter's Guild, they issue tasks, we complete them, and then we get the rewards. Qian Yong added.

After Yang Fei listened, he thought about it carefully and said: "Actually, I've always wondered, it is said that the strength of the army is definitely far beyond that of the evolutionaries, at least for the time being, it is impossible for evolutionaries like us to fight against the army, so why do they still want to establish the Hunter Guild, and it seems that they attach great importance to it." ”

"Because of the ammunition!" Jiang Zhi said suddenly: "No matter how powerful the army is, it will consume weapons and ammunition, but no matter how much weapons and ammunition are hoarded, there will always be a day when the war will be finished, and the military factories that produce weapons and ammunition must have stopped production because of the end of the world, and it will not be a moment to recover." ”

"And the evolutionary is different, even if the evolutionary uses cold weapons, he can exert a lot of power, not to mention that it has only been more than a month since the end of the world, and the strength of the evolutionary will definitely become more and more powerful in the future. Therefore, if you want to be safe enough for the security zone formed by each army, in addition to your own army, you also need to attract a lot of evolutionaries in order to be able to hold the security zone. ”

"What my sister and Fei Ge did in the security zone today is, at best, against the army and against the security zone, but at worst, it is actually just sweeping the face of a certain leader."

"In other words, if the head of the security zone is smart enough and not the kind of short-sighted person, most of them will still win us over, after all, according to my sister, the number of people who have reached the second level of evolution at this stage should not be much."

Jiang Zhi's eyes flashed, and he concluded: "So we don't have to hide too far in a hurry, we just need to find a station outside the security zone and within the army's border guard post according to the requirements of the Hunter Guild, and they will come to us in a short time." ”

Out of trust in Jiang Zhi's judgment, everyone found a temporary resting place not far from the wall of the security zone and fell asleep.
