Chapter 25: Secret Departure
My name is Yan Shunlu, and I am about to meet Goliath the Atlantean again, this time not in his room in the dream, but in real life, with a group of experts and uniforms......
Time passed quickly, three days passed in the blink of an eye, and during the three days I tried to find Goliath, but as he said, he was not in his lab, and it seemed that he was only waiting for time to come. Of course, I haven't let go of cultivation these days, after all, cultivation has brought me a lot of benefits, I have more energy, my thinking is more agile, and of course my body has lost a little weight.
This time, Team Tan personally drove me to pick me up, not wearing a uniform, not a police car, just an ordinary off-road. He arrived downstairs early and waited, without urging me. Because when I went downstairs, I saw that the car was parked at the door, and he was leaning on the seat and napping, he must have been waiting for a while.
I tapped the glass twice, and he sat up right, relieved to see that it was me, and opened the door to let me into the car.
"Why didn't you get a good rest? The dark circles under your eyes are heavy enough, ran to my door to catch up on sleep? "I'm already a little acquainted with it, and I'm joking.
"I haven't slept much in the past few days, it's so strange, but it's real. And it's a big deal~! Team Tan started the engine, shook his head and said.
"What's so big or not, don't you think I'm going to sleep like that?" I pretended to be light-hearted. "Besides, you haven't seen any scenes in so many years of ups and downs, and this is not a big deal. Right, Team Tan? ”
"This time it's different, it's so unbelievable." Team Tan drove the car seriously, and at the same time took my words, "Don't call me Team Tan, I'm older than you, call me Old Tan." ”
"Okay, then I'll call you Lao Tan, but it always reminds me of sauerkraut-flavored instant noodles." I teased him.
"Instant noodles are the best, and when we go out to handle cases, instant noodles are the most manageable, and we often eat them." Lao Tan also laughed. "By the way, you haven't had breakfast yet, there is an early shop at the intersection in front, let's have something to eat and then go over."
"Heh, you're more familiar than me, I didn't even know there was an early shop in front of me."
"That's what the profession needs." Lao Tan patted the steering wheel, "I used to slip around when I was fine, and I have drilled all the big and small alleys in this city." ”
"So you mean you don't do that now?"
"Now I'm thinking, how can I have so much time? Now that the position has gone up, there is less time to go down, and more time to be in the office. Old Tan sighed.
"Then you still have to have someone in command, you can go into battle and kill the enemy, but you don't have to charge every time." I said casually.
"Yes, each stage has its own responsibilities, different positions have different responsibilities, and everyone has their own mission." Lao Tan said with deep feelings.
His words made me a little distracted, and Goliath's words suddenly appeared in my mind, you are the ...... destined to be chosen! What are my responsibilities? I didn't think about it before, but now I can't help but think about it, because it is predestined, and I can only accept it. What is this? The Chosen One? Hehe, I chuckled, for more than 20 years, all in a mess, and suddenly one day I was told that I needed to stand up and save the earth? Sudden heaviness.
"It's here, I'm going to have a treat today, and I'll pay out of my own pocket." Lao Tan patted me who was distracted.
"Oh? Okay, don't stress that it's you who paid for it privately, knowing that you're upright. "I understood him." Then I won't fight with you, and the province will be said to bribe you. ”
"It's good to know, even though I'm not wearing a uniform, I still have to pay attention to the details. You can't afford to be careless when you sit in this seat. ”
"Where can I feel so much emotion when I eat early, and I can bribe for one meal, so the cost of this bribe is too low, right?"
"Don't talk about this, try the authentic breakfast of old Beijing." Lao Tan emphasized the word authentic.
"Don't make a fuss, when I don't know? Bean juice, I'm still disrespectful to Xie Min. "I saw through his little tricks.
"Yo, I didn't see it, I still know this, and I know all about bean juice?" Old Tan was a little surprised.
"What's this, I've been here for two years." I wondered at his surprise.
He didn't say anything and took me straight to order. Of course, I only chose the one that suited my taste. A breakfast down, simple but plentiful.
After breakfast and got on the bus again, but in the wrong direction.
"Where are we going? It doesn't seem to be to you. "I wondered.
"How can I have enough for my little conference room?"
"Isn't that the same group last time?"
"You don't know, after you went back that day, we analyzed the results of the instrument, and you were telling the truth, that is to say, you told the truth what you experienced, this is the result of the doctor, and I also analyzed the same result from years of professional experience. The point is the group of experts, according to your description, nothing else, but if the real Atlanteans live in the deep sea for a long time, it may be very much in line with what you described. That's the result of adaptation to the theory of evolution and adaptation. This spread in their academy of sciences, and a group of experts came to be interested, including biology, archaeology, physics, chemistry, sociology, philosophy...... There are people from almost every discipline. Lao Tan held the steering wheel with his left hand, and gestured with the fingers of his right hand one by one.
"Aren't you afraid it's my dream talk? A conjecture that even I believe to be true? ”
"They're obsessed with research, but they're not nerds, and they still have the ability to judge. And before you, I handed over some of the things I received to them for study, and I already had a preliminary judgment, but your words have only increased the credibility from 30% to more than 50%. Old Tan's afterglow swept over my face and said.
Also, they say that doing research is fact-oriented, but often inspiration is the most important thing, even if it is your imagination, it has some enlightening effect on them, especially in biology. And they'd love to see you young people imaginative, and if it's fake, take a break from your busy research. It is also rare for top researchers from so many disciplines to get together, and it may be of great help to them in their interdisciplinary activities. ”
What more can I say? Go ahead and accept the reality and face it calmly. It's best if Goliath keeps the promise, or else I'll be studied by them......
"So where are we going now?" I asked.
"I'll know if I go, I can't say the location, it's still secret." Lao Tan raised his eyebrows and said.
"You're all like that, and so is Goliath, and you've always told me that it's not time to tell me that you're like that here. They all tried to find me, but they kept everything a secret from me. "Speaking of this, I have complaints, why did you come to me if you want to keep it secret?
"Afraid that you won't be able to sell it? You're only worth a few bucks, no, you're a multimillionaire now. Lao Tan said with a chuckle.
"You checked me?" I immediately said alarmedly.
"When Goliath told us we were looking for you, we investigated. This is not a difficult task for us. ”
"That is, what else can be hidden for state institutions. What else did you check on me? ”
"I have checked everything that can be checked, family background, study background, work, life ......"
"Then I'm not the same as being transparent."
"We don't know what's in your head." Lao Tan leaned sideways to look at me, the corners of his mouth slightly curled.
"Hehe......" I had nothing to say, so I could only laugh a few times and bring it over.
chatted with Lao Tan like this, seeing that it had been driving for 2 hours, and he hadn't arrived at the place yet. At this time, Lao Tan suddenly stopped on the side of the road.
"Arrived?" I looked around, it seemed that there were no buildings, only green belts, and it had already left the city and headed towards the suburbs.
"No, I said that it is still confidential, so I will wronged you." Saying that, Lao Tan gave me something.
Not handcuffs, hoods, blindfolds or anything like that, but a flat plate.
"What's going on here?" I asked, puzzled.
"Please sit in the back, this is to prevent you from boring to pass the time." Lao Tan pointed to the back and said.
I had to get out of the car and sit in the back. Lao Tan sat down, pressed a button, and then saw a baffle rising behind the front seat, completely blocking the view. The windows on both sides of the rear row have dark film to block the light from the outside and prevent external observation, and there are curtains hanging in the back, so you can't see the outside at all. Small lights light up on the roof to keep the rear row from going dark.
"How? Maybe a little uncomfortable, right? You can look at the tablet with a drink on the side and take it yourself. Lao Tan's voice came from the front, separated by a baffle, and his voice was a little soft.
"It's fine. Let's go. "I raised the volume slightly.
The car started again, and I was bored with the tablet open, no password, and the desktop was clean, so clean that there was only one icon. An icon for a document with the words Top Secret written on it. Just now he said let me see, this is top secret, there will be no deliberate traps, right? Phishing law enforcement? Will I be killed if I see it? That would have to lock me up for a few years, or join an organization and participate in research, of course, the kind that will be studied.
"That thing is for you to see, this thing." Lao Tan seemed to have guessed my thoughts, and the voice came from the front again.
Now I was relieved and clicked on the document. It contains all kinds of analyses since I received information about Goliath's influence, including the unknown material, and of course, the investigation of me, even where I am used to eating and what flavors I like...... This makes me feel chills in my back, but fortunately, I'm still a good citizen, and I don't usually have any illegal behavior, at most, it's just a red light, spitting and other bad behaviors that affect civilization, if it's really a bad person, I will go in directly after being checked like this.
On top of that, there are some things I don't know, for example, the first time I received a message from Goliath was through a computer, and the second time it was weird, a box that appeared out of thin air, and suddenly appeared in a locked door. There is also the analysis of those data formulas by experts. This is followed by a large paragraph of the conclusion that those formulas and data are true, and if they can be developed in a complete version, they can raise China's national defense to a great level. There is also the energy aspect...... And so on, there are so many aspects involved, each of them has great authenticity, it is difficult to imagine that it is an individual action, more like a team behavior. What surprised me the most was the handwritten instructions of a senior leader to find out the truth with all his might!
Among other things, the mere involvement of national defense is enough to make the upper echelons pay attention to this thing, even if it is not sent by the so-called Atlanteans, or if some researcher uses the name of the Atlanteans. National security has to be more vigilant.
