Chapter 13: To the North Pole
"...... them Tell me. Zhao Huasheng said vigorously.
"Okay." Li Wei recalled for a moment and said, "Those conversations are like this. ”
"Let me out."
"You're getting out of here? Aren't you afraid to die? ”
"If you help me, I can adapt."
"Okay, I'll help you."
"The transcript of the conversation consists only of these four sentences." Li Wei said.
Once again, the room fell silent. Zhao Huasheng fell into deep thought, his expression changing. Li Wei looked at Zhao Huasheng with a little worry, not knowing why these four short sentences caused such a big touch to Zhao Huasheng.
"You...... Are you sure? Not a word wrong? Zhao Huasheng asked.
"That's right." Li Wei nodded with certainty: "My memory has always been very good. I also have a deep memory of this incident. You know, at that time, I originally wanted to see the conversation record between my brother and the woman I liked, but I didn't expect to see such an inexplicable conversation. So I can't be mistaken. ”
"Monjo, pass this conversation on to the psychological research team." Zhao Huasheng thought for a moment and said to Meng Zhuo. Meng Zhuo nodded, and spat out a word very dryly: "Okay." ”
Zhao Huasheng relaxed again, his eyes fixed on the white ceiling, and once again fell into deep thought.
"Who the hell is this person talking to Richie? Li Qi's behavior pattern has changed, so that he is no longer like his former self at all, and Li Qi obviously has many words but cannot say them, and can only hint at something through a blank piece of paper...... Does these things have anything to do with this mysterious man? Could it be that this mysterious man coerced Richie by some unknown means? ”
"Let me start from the beginning...... Judging from the dialogue, this mysterious man does not seem to be an ordinary person, and his views on life and the environment are very different from ordinary people. He seems to be trapped somewhere and can't get out, and as soon as he comes out, he will be "strangled to death". But Richie has some way to help him adapt to the external environment so that he doesn't get strung to death. Did he come out at the end? ”
"Perhaps he has already come out, and it is precisely because of his presence that there are many constraints on Richie's actions...... Well, by the way, Li Qi knows that the solar crisis is about to erupt, what does it have to do with this mysterious person? Is it because of the existence of the mysterious man that Li Qi will know about the solar crisis? So how did this mysterious man know? With human technology, it would have been impossible to perceive this before the solar crisis erupted, could it ...... This mysterious person does not belong to the category of humans? So what is he? Alien? Ghost? Traverser? ”
"If it's an alien, is there a connection between it and something like a Dyson sphere that appears above the sun? Or maybe they made these things at all, and this alien was also a member of a certain group, and for some reason on the way, he dispersed with a large army and met Richie on Earth? ”
"So what are they doing to make that Dyson sphere-like thing around the sun? There are so many stars in the universe, why do you fancy the sun? ”
"It doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense. Our human civilization has been trying to search for extraterrestrial civilizations, and after searching for so long and finding nothing, the possibility of the solar system being invaded by aliens is too small. But, it's ......."
There were countless pieces of information entangled and tumbling in Zhao Huasheng's mind, making Zhao Huasheng's brain almost a mess. The world that Zhao Huasheng saw, the white ceiling, the hanging bottle filled with transparent liquid, Li Wei with a worried face next to him, Meng Zhuo standing in front of the window...... Everything Zhao Huasheng saw suddenly distorted at this moment, and at the same time, Zhao Huasheng felt a sudden pain in his mind like a pinprick in his mind. Zhao Huasheng screamed, his eyes darkened, and he lost consciousness again.
By the time Zhao Huasheng woke up again, it was already dark. The milky chandelier had been turned on, reflecting the back of Meng Zhuona, who was still standing in front of the window, and Li Wei's concerned face. There was also a doctor in a white coat standing in front of Zhao Huasheng.
"Watson, the doctor said, you can't go on like this. Your mind is thinking too much, and you are now showing signs of a nervous breakdown, and if you continue like this, you are afraid that you will suffer from psychosis. Li Wei said gloomily, "I'm sorry, if I knew that you were not in good health, I wouldn't have told you these things." ”
Zhao Huasheng had woken up, but his head still felt a throbbing pain involuntarily. This is a very strange kind of throbbing, if Zhao Huasheng empties his mind, thinks about nothing, and keeps calm, the pain will disappear, but as long as he thinks about something, the tingling sensation will come like a tide.
As if seeing Zhao Huasheng's pain, the doctor said, "This is the body's protective response to stress. If you keep thinking, your brain will be severely damaged, so, in order to avoid you being harmed, your brain chooses to use pain to stop you from continuing to think. ”
"I don't know what kind of responsibility you have...... the doctor hesitated for a moment, then continued, "but I can see that you have a lot of responsibility. It is precisely because of the great responsibility you bear that you need to protect your body even more. If you fall, there's nothing. ”
The doctor said, turning his head to look at Li Wei: "Are you his lover?" ”
"No, I'm his friend." Li Wei said.
The doctor nodded: "Take care of him during this time, don't let him touch those things again." If you have a good rest, you will be fine in about a month. ”
"Okay, doctor, thank you." Li Wei hurriedly stood up and thanked her.
The doctor looked at Zhao Huasheng, sighed, and walked out of the ward.
Li Wei helped Zhao Huasheng tuck the quilt and comforted him softly: "You can rest well during this time, don't think about anything." Don't worry, it's okay, the scientific research department and the psychological research team under the Crisis Coordination and Handling Center are paying attention to these things. ”
"But the key is on me, and only I can solve this mystery, and only I can stop the catastrophe that will befall us as humans. Li Wei, do you know, those are our kind, they have joys and sorrows like us, they also have love, they have family affection, they are living people...... If the disaster can't be stopped, they will all die. Our civilization will also collapse, and the traces we have left on this earth, and many of the stories that have happened, will disappear and no one will ever know about it again. Zhao Huasheng said very weakly.
"But now your body ......" Li Wei's worried words were interrupted by Meng Zhuo before she could finish speaking.
"Zhao Huasheng." "There's one thing I need to tell you. ”
"You say." Zhao Huasheng said.
"After the assessment of the team of psychological experts, with your mental state at the moment, you are no longer suitable for such high-intensity thinking. The doctor was right, if you continue like this, you will have a nervous breakdown and risk becoming insane. ”
Zhao Huasheng smiled bitterly.
"The team of psychologists has decided to put a break from your work and they recommend that you take a trip to relax yourself. Wait until you've adjusted before you get to work. In the interim, I won't tell you anything more about this incident unless you ask. ”
Monjo said lightly, using the word "advice" in his words, but the words sounded like a command anyway.
"It's fine." Zhao Huasheng nodded a little gloomily.
"Where do you want to go?"
Zhao Huasheng's eyes were a little distant. After a slight pause, Zhao Huasheng said: "Let's go to the North Pole first, I want to go to the North Pole to have a look." ”
"Good. I'll arrange this. Monjo said.
"He's so weak now, can he handle it?" Li Wei said eagerly.
"I bring in a professional medical team and state-of-the-art medical equipment to make sure there are no problems during the trip. You don't have to worry about that. Meng Zhuo said lightly, "Do you want to go with you?" ”
Li Wei hesitated for a moment and shook her head, "No, I'm not going." ”
"You should go." "No one in this world knows Li Qi better than you. You should be with Zhao Huasheng and be answered at any time when he has a question for you. ”
"Okay." Li Wei said.
Meng Zhuo nodded, "You go back and prepare now, and I'll take care of your work." ”
Li Wei stayed in the ward until late at night, and when she saw Zhao Huasheng asleep, she quietly left the ward. Mondra stood at the window, motionless, his body like a mountain.
Early the next morning, Meng Zhuo left the hospital with Zhao Huasheng, who was still slightly weak. A car was already waiting in front of the hospital. Meng Zhuo and Zhao Huasheng got into the car, and the driver didn't say a word, and began to speed with the two of them. After picking up Li Wei, after only a while, several people came to a clearing, where a helicopter was already waiting.
"Our goal is the Changshan Arctic Research Station. But before arriving at the Changshan Research Station, we will first rest for five days in the small town of Keweisi in the northern city. We had a three-day layover at Changshan Station this time. After three days, we will evacuate the North Pole with the personnel from the research station. Of course, if you have special requests, I will still arrange personnel to ensure your safety in the Arctic. Monjo said.
"Okay." Zhao Huasheng hesitated for a moment and asked, "Evacuate?" Are the staff at Changshan Station going to evacuate the North Pole? ”
"Yes. Because the Arctic is no longer suitable for humans to stay there. "It's summer in the Arctic Circle, the season of melting snow and ice. But just yesterday, the staff at Changshan Station measured the lowest temperature in history, minus 93 degrees Celsius. The government's resources are tilted towards the Equator Project, and the government does not have the energy to send too many special survival support materials to support the Arctic scientific expedition. If you continue to let the expedition personnel stay there, there may be accidental injuries. ”
"Of course, after the evacuation of personnel, robots will continue to guard the North Pole instead of humans. If they're broken, though, there's no way around it. ”
Zhao Huasheng, Meng Zhuo and Li Wei boarded the helicopter together. The helicopter took off with a roar, flew for a while, and then landed in the valley. Here, Zhao Huasheng transferred to a large jet airliner and flew north with Meng Zhuo, Li Wei, and a medical and security team of about 20 people.
It took more than ten hours for Zhao Huasheng and his party to finally reach their destination. The small town of Kewes is a world covered in ice and snow, but Zhao Huasheng at this moment does not have the heart to enjoy these beautiful scenery. After entering his room, Zhao Huasheng didn't even bother to wash up and fell asleep.
