[22] Sid's Experiment (1)
"Project Poseidon?" Ji Yutong asked, and everyone looked at Lin Fan curiously. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
Lin Fan said: "The National Security Bureau and Sanyo Group have mentioned this 'Poseidon Project' research project before, and they say that this is a secret research project that Professor Li Dong and Dr. Nishimura Yu participated in a few years ago, and if Professor Li Dong and they stayed here at that time, it means that they and Sid conducted the same research, and this is likely to be the experimental base of the 'Poseidon Project' project." β
"Did Professor Li Dong participate in this project when he was teaching at our school?" Chen Bo asked.
"I don't know, but I remember that the NSA inspector showed me that he became a researcher at the Constantine Institute while he was doing his Ph.D. in the United States." Lin Fan replied.
"When was that?"
Ji Yutong on the side continued: "I think it should have been before 2007, because Professor Li returned to China in 08 to teach at Haida University, and we were the first batch of students he brought with him, and he usually stayed with us and didn't have time to do research here." β
"Hmm......" Everyone thought about it and felt that Ji Yutong's analysis was reasonable.
"Brother Lin, what is the name of this 'Seagod Project'?" First mate Li Gang asked.
"This 'Poseidon Project' seems to be a project to study mysterious creatures, I have seen some pictures from the National Security Bureau and the Sanyo Group, which are all some strange creatures like Ning En, they say that these monsters are the products of the 'Poseidon Project' research, it seems that genetic technology is used to resurrect some extinct ancient creatures, it just so happens that Japan's Sanyo Group is also conducting this research, and I have seen a mermaid cloned by genetic technology at their Tokyo headquarters!" Lin Fan explained.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
"Yutong, haven't you been in contact with Sid a lot, have you heard of this from him?" Wu Lingling asked.
Ji Yutong lifted his glasses, thought for a while, and said: "Dr. Sid, they are indeed conducting some secret biological research, and the Ning En we met at sea is among them, but I think their research seems to be more than that, there are many other experts here, like not long ago, the first mate and I met the world-renowned physicists Granning and Randall on the portal, they are the leading figures in today's physics world......
Everyone hurriedly looked at the first mate for verification, and the first mate Li Gang waved his hand and said, "Don't look at me, I don't read much, I can't recognize Langning and Doyle." β
"What does that mean?" Xue Panru asked.
Ji Yutong replied: "It means that there may be some very cutting-edge physics research going on here. β
No one has the same profound knowledge as Ji Yutong, so even if I heard her say this, I was not inspired, but it just added more unknowns.
After ending this topic, everyone talked about the previous campus life, and talked about the gossip and interesting stories of Xue Panru and others, after everyone laughed, they all sighed about the sudden change of fate when they thought of the current situation, and it was a blessing that they could reunite, while the others did not know whether it was a blessing or a curse.
The expedition more than two months ago completely changed the trajectory of everyone's lives, and they prayed for the missing classmates and teachers to be safe and sound, and everyone shared this feeling, and they talked until late at night.
After Lin Fan and Ji Yutong reunited, they lived with them, and he, like Xue Panru, Chen Bo, and Wu Lingling, was only allowed to move in the accommodation area, and other areas were forbidden to go. Every day, he could only stay with Xue Panru and them, either staying in the room to play boring chess, or going to the gym and swimming pool in the accommodation area to pass the time.
And what worries Lin Fan is the girl who escaped from Urashimamaru with him, there has been no news of her for so many days, and I don't know if she is okay.
Such days lasted for many days, and it was not until Ji Yutong and first mate Li Gang returned from another mission to the sea that they changed.
"Sid wants to see me?" Lin Fan was surprised.
"Yes, Dr. Sid said he had something to talk to you about, and I'll take you to his office at 7 o'clock tonight." Ji Yutong said calmly.
"Yutong, what is Sid looking for Lin Fan?" Wu Lingling and the others were curious.
Ji Yutong shook his head and said, "I don't know very well, when I went to sea this time, Dr. Sid asked me about Lin Fan's situation, and then said that he wanted to see him when he came back." β
"Are you going to be the second Ji Yutong?" Xue Panru stepped forward and stared at Lin Fandao.
"What do you mean, fatty?" Lin Fan said.
Xue Panru said: "Except for Ji Xueba, Sid never said that he wanted to see us, and now you are the second!" β
Chen Bo also came up and said worriedly: "Lin Fan, you can be careful!" Maybe Sid wants to know something from you, but don't talk nonsense, or we'll all suffer. β
"Forehead ......"
"Brother Lin, you don't have to worry too much, Sister Yutong will also follow you when the time comes, just pay more attention to her face." Li Gang, the first mate on the side, came over and patted him on the shoulder.
Lin Fan looked at Ji Yutong, she just smiled faintly and didn't say anything.
At around half past six in the evening, Lin Fan followed Ji Yutong out of their accommodation area and began to go to Sid's office.
Sid's office is in the core research area, two blocks away from their accommodation, and it took Lin Fan and Ji Yutong about 10 minutes to reach the platform of the core research area by teleporter.
As soon as they left the station, they encountered an electronic level, which set up a lot of transparent isolation rooms in the middle, and those who want to clear the customs need to enter the isolation room, and only after checking that they can clear the customs and enter the core scientific research area.
Lin Fan came to the electronic level and said a little apprehensively: "Yutong, what should I do?" β
"Don't worry, your date with Dr. Sid tonight has been registered in the security system, you just go directly to that isolation room, and the scanning program inside will automatically determine your identity and open the level." Ji Yutong said calmly.
"Oh......" Lin Fan walked into the isolation room in the level according to Ji Yutong's instructions, stood inside and signaled the position to stand, and then swept a few green lights on the glass wall around the isolation room, and then lines of data began to be displayed on the glass wall, these data have information about Lin Fan's identity, physical signs, carrying items and other information, after the PASS is displayed one by one, the level channel in front of him will be opened, and Lin Fan hurriedly followed through when he saw this.
After Lin Fan passed the pass, Ji Yutong also followed closely and came out from behind, behind the checkpoint was a straight vaulted passage, there were many scientific researchers and army officers passing through it, Ji Yutong led the front and said: "Go all the way from here, there will be an elevator in front, we need to take the elevator to Dr. Sid's office." β
"Oh, okay~."
The two of them walked through this vaulted passage and came to a spacious hall, the top of which was dozens of meters high, like the central patio of a skyscraper, and there was a layer of crystal-like structure on the top, from which the cold and clear light was projected, the visual effect was very magnificent and dreamy, Lin Fan couldn't help but be stunned.
Ji Yutong saw Lin Fan's surprised expression, and calmly explained on the side: "There is ice on the top here, and the light shines on the ice surface and refracts back, so this colorful effect is formed. β
"Ah~ I see...... Yutong, you are so powerful, you can always understand these principles at a glance. Lin Fan said with a smile.
"Not necessarily...... The elevator arrives, let's go. Ji Yutong said a little anxiously.
The two of them took the elevator to the top floor, and when they came out of the elevator, a floor made of pure white fiberboard appeared in front of him, Lin Fan looked left and right, and found that the fiber materials here seemed to be more advanced than the sterile fiberboard he saw in the Sanyo Group, not only were their surfaces spotless, but they could also see strips of flowing light in them.
Ji Yutong did not forget to explain: "The light on the wall is an electric current, and this building material can reflect the trajectory of the flow of electrons. β
"Thisβthis is really advanced." Lin Fan was surprised.
The two walked along the glowing corridor, and finally stopped in front of a room, where Lin Fan saw the door read:
Ignorance is sin - Socrates.
"We're here." Ji Yutong said to Lin Fan, she pressed the communicator next to the door, and then said, "Dr. Sid, I'm Ji Yutong, I brought Lin Fan over." β
A moment later, Sid's grim voice came over the communicator: "Please come in." β
The door moved to either side, and Sid's office was in front of themβa very retro room with oak floors, carved wallpaper, wool carpets, fireplaces, wrought iron chandeliers, large standing bookcases, and all sorts of fine crafted ornaments, full of classical medieval charm, a far cry from the high-tech style outside.
"Miss Ji, Mr. Lin, welcome to my humble house." Sid stood up from his desk and greeted him, dressed in a white shirt, black leather waistcoat, and gray trousers, meticulously groomed like a nobleman from a famous family.
"Please sit here." Sid pointed to the couch by the fireplace on one side of the room, "Okay, Dr. Sid. Lin Fan and Ji Yutong sat on the sofa.
Sid pointed to the coffee table next to the sofa and said, "Please have a cup of tea and wait a while." β
"Thank you~"
After Sid finished speaking, he returned to his place, picked up a document and read it, Lin Fan saw that there was a huge oil painting covering the entire wall behind Sid's seat, in this painting, there was a muscular man with a trident in his hand, fighting with a terrifying monster with countless eyes and tentacles on the surging sea, like a story in Western mythology.
Just as Lin Fan was paying attention to this painting, Ji Yutong on the side took the lead in asking, "Dr. Sid, I don't know what you are looking for us today?" β
Sid stared at the document in his hand, and said without raising his head: "Please don't be impatient Miss Ji, we still have a guest who hasn't arrived, and I will naturally say it when everyone arrives." β
"Understand ......," Ji Yutong replied.
Neither side spoke again, and the room fell silent, and the silence remained for a long time, when it was suddenly broken by a voice from the communicator at the door, and a loud voice said, "Dr. Sid, Miss Nishimura has brought it." β
"Well, come in, Ryan." Sid replied.
The door of the room opened, and a tall, tall and tall young officer in uniform walked in, Lin Fan recognized this as Colonel Gosling, the captain of the previous "Seawolf", and behind him there was an Asian girl in a sailor's suit, she looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, with a thin figure and a delicate appearance, Lin Fan's eyes lit up, wasn't this the girl who escaped from Urashima Maru with him!
The girl also recognized Lin Fan, with a look of surprise on her face, and exclaimed, "Hey?!" It's you! (Japanese)
Lin Fan said excitedly: "Great! Are you alright? β
The girl nodded excitedly and said something in Japanese, and suddenly she realized that Lin Fan couldn't understand, and changed to awkward Chinese: "No one told me where you were, I thought something happened to you!" I've been worried for a long time! β
"I don't know where you are, so I can't go to you, but it's really good that you're okay......" Lin Fan said with relief.
"Mr. Lin, let's catch up with Miss Nishimura later." Sid interrupted the conversation.
When Lin Fan heard this, he hesitated: "Dr. Sid, what did you call her just now?" β
"--Miss Nishimura, what's the matter, am I calling it wrong?" Sid asked the girl.
The girl shook her head.
Lin Fan looked back at the girl, he remembered that when she was dying on the ice floe before, she told him that her name was "Antelope", and he couldn't help asking, "Your name is Nishimura...... Antelope? β
"Yes." The girl nodded, looking at him a little puzzled.
ββ¦β¦ You say you have an older brother? And what is his name? β
"--Male Nishimura, my brother went to sea with a group of friends and went missing in an accident...... she replied.
"What?! Are you the sister of Dr. Yuo Nishimura? That ......" Lin Fan just wanted to ask who the woman who lied that she was Nishimura Antelope and took him to Tokyo before, but he heard Sid say angrily: "Okay, Mr. Lin! I don't want to say the same thing a second time, you have to talk about it, and then I'll give you a chance. β
"Ah...... I'm sorry. Lin Fan hurriedly sat back on the sofa.
"Please be seated, Miss Nishimura." Sid signaled, Nishimura Antelope went over to sit next to Lin Fan, and sat side by side with Lin Fan and Ji Yutong, while Colonel Gosling, the captain of the "Seawolf", stood beside Sid.
"Now that everyone is here, we can get down to business." Sid said, he took off his glasses, wiped them with a white silk cloth and asked, "Mr. Hayashi, Miss Nishimura, I heard that you once had a close encounter with Ning En on Urashima Maru?" β
"Yes." Lin Fan and Nishimura Antelope replied.
"Did they hurt you?"
Lin Fan hesitated a little, and the Nishimura Antelope replied affirmatively: "They didn't hurt us. β
Sid noticed the difference in the attitudes of the two, and asked Lin Fan, "Mr. Lin, you seem to have reservations?" β
"Eh, there is no ......" Lin Fan subconsciously looked at Ji Yutong beside her, and she shook her head slightly.
"Don't try to hide anything, tell me in detail about your condition at the time, which is at stake for your future fate." Sid said grimly.
"I'll tell you." Nishimura Antelope preemptively said, but Sid interrupted her and said, "No, you all have to say it, but Mr. Lin, please say it first." β
"Uh, okay." Lin Fan wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then he told all the stories of meeting Ning En and falling into the water on the Urashima Pill at that time, Sid nodded frequently, and he asked Nishimura Antelope to say it again, Nishimura Antelope's version is not much different from Lin Fan's, but there is an extra section in front of her who ran to the Urashima Maru deck alone to release Ning En.
After listening to the narration of the two, Sid said with relief: "I see, I see." β
"Dr. Sid, has their experience helped your research in any way?" Ji Yutong asked at the right time.
"Of course, Miss Ji." Sid replied, putting his wiped glasses back on, turning to look at the huge oil painting on the wall behind him, and said, "We have something very important missing, it suddenly disappeared from my eyes, no one can find its trace, and the only clue to find it is on Nyn." β
