"Dr. Sid, may I ask what you are missing?" Lin Fan asked. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"A treasure of civilization, a key to the future of mankind." Sid said, looking at the huge oil painting on the wall.

"What does it have to do with Ning'en?" Ji Yutong asked.

"Because both it and Ningn were born here—" Sid reached out and pressed the canvas to the canvas, which suddenly blurred, the colors and lines faded, and the whole painting became transparent, and finally the whole painting became a floor-to-ceiling glass window.

Everyone looked at the "oil painting" in front of them in amazement, and a very open space appeared on the back of the painting, which looked like a huge cave.

"Dr. Sid, what is this place out there......" Ji Yutong slowly approached the window, looked out the window and asked.

Sid said lightly: "――The core area of the former Poseidon laboratory. ”

Lin Fan and Nishimura Antelope also walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, they looked out the window, Lin Fan was shocked to find that the outside was a regular spherical cave, the cave was brightly lit, at a glance, the entire cave spanned several hundred meters long, open enough to put down two large gymnasiums, in the center of the top of the cave there was a huge icicle hanging straight down, reaching the bottom of the ground, and the cave was surrounded by smooth and flat rock walls, the whole cave seemed to be artificially dug and hewn, but there was nothing inside, it seemed a little dead and silent.

Lin Fan cautiously asked, "Dr. Sid, why is there nothing in it?" ”

"There really isn't anything, because the place is empty, and everything inside is gone." Sid replied.

"Why not?" Nishimura Antagoko asked innocently.

"Because it's gone."

"Disappear? Did you move away from this? Lin Fan asked.

"No, it's just gone, suddenly disappearing without a trace." Sid looked out the window and said with a stern expression.

"Huh?" Lin Fan was a little confused.

"Dr. Sid, did something happen inside?" Ji Yutong on the side asked.

Sid glanced at her, then turned around and picked up an ornament on the table, and said while fiddling: "Miss Ji, Mr. Lin, Miss Nishimura, do you know that there are some things in this world that are destined to be connected with each other from the moment they are born. ”

The ornament in his hand is a scale, consisting of two golden compasses of the same size, one of which rotates clockwise and the other counterclockwise.

"This connection exists between you and me, between you and her, between him and her, and even anything else in this world." Sid looked at Lin Fan, then at Ji Yutong, Nishimura Antelope and Colonel Gosling, his gaze shifted among the people, and he continued: "This kind of bond is the cornerstone of the existence of this world, no matter how far apart and how many time and space crosses, it cannot be blocked, once one party is awakened, the other party will definitely respond. ”

Sid suddenly pinched one of the clockwise golden compasses with his fingers, causing it to stop spinning, and the other counterclockwise also stopped. Then he gently swiped it, so that the compass that originally rotated clockwise became counterclockwise, and at this time, the other compass that originally rotated counterclockwise also immediately changed direction and became clockwise, and the two again maintained opposite operating states.

Lin Fan didn't understand the meaning of Sid's words at all, and cast an inquiring glance at Ji Yutong on the side, but she was staring intently at the set of compasses in Sid's hand, and was falling into deep thought.

Lin Fan was puzzled: "Dr. Sid, what does this have to do with that empty hole outside?" ”

Sid said: "Of course it matters, what I just said is a very important phenomenon in the quantum world, called 'entanglement theory', have you ever heard of it, Mr. Lin?" ”

Lin Fan shook his head blankly.

The corners of Sid's mouth lifted slightly, revealing a look of contempt, and said with a smile: "Well, this is not our topic today after all. He walked back to the window, pointed outside, and said, "The hole you see is the original core area of the Poseidon Laboratory, which is the most important place in this base, but there was an accident here a few years ago, and the entire core area suddenly disappeared from the inside of the base, and all equipment and research results were gone, leaving only this huge hole." ”

"What?! The entire core area is gone? Was it an explosion? Lin Fan was shocked.

Sid said with a little contempt: "Hehe, I think it's hard to explain the truth to Mr. Lin." ”

"Gree......" Lin Fan looked at Ji Yutong awkwardly, wanting to see what she had to say, but saw that her eyes were bright, and asked Sid: "Dr. Sid, since the core area has disappeared, why do you think Ning En will know where the core area is?" ”

"That's a good question! Miss Ji. Sid's voice suddenly rose a bit.

He put the scale in his hand back on the table and said, "Because the core area is where we cultivated Ning'en, we once cultivated five Ning'en in it, and when the core area disappeared, they also disappeared, but later we found out their whereabouts. ”

"Where are they?"

"It's in the Southern Ocean, not too far from here." Sid Road.

"Are they still alive?" Nishimura Anteloko said with concern.

"Alive, they're alive and well, Miss Nishimura."

"Huh? Does that mean that you also found the vanished core in the Southern Ocean? Lin Fan asked.

"It's a pity -- no." Sid replied.

"Huh?"

Ji Yutong said: "Dr. Sid, do you think that the core area has not completely disappeared, but is still somewhere in this world. ”

Sid looked at Ji Yutong and said, "Miss Ji, sometimes I really appreciate your insight. He continued: "Yes, I also judged so, since the Ning En we cultivated in the core area survived intact, it means that the disappeared core area must still be in this world, but if you want to find it, you can only go through those five Ning En. ”

"Dr. Sid, aren't you spying on Ningn? In that case, why don't you just look for them through them? Lin Fan asked.

Sid walked up to Lin Fan, stared at him and said, "That's right! So that's why I came to Mr. Hayashi and Miss Nishimura. ”

"Scare?"

"I want you to go to Ning's lair and find the ones that were cultivated in the laboratory, and then use them to find the vanished core."

“……”

"What?! You want us to get close to Ningen?! Lin Fan reacted and said in astonishment.

"Exactly." Sid Road.

"But, but they almost killed us!" Lin Fan shouted.

"But they didn't hurt you in the end, did they? - And I'll keep you safe. ”

Lin Fan hurriedly asked Ji Yutong on the side for help, but she didn't say anything.

Sid turned to Nishimura Anteloko, "What do you think?" Miss Nishimura, your brother was one of us, and he left here because of that accident, and the vanishing core contains his life's work results, don't you want to do something about your brother's efforts during his lifetime? ”

"Hmm......" Nishimura Antagogue lowered her head and thought for a moment, then she raised her head and replied in a firm tone, "Okay! I am willing to listen to you. ”

"Hey, Miss Antelope, this is very dangerous!" Lin Fan stepped forward to persuade.

Nishimura Antelope said to Lin Fan: "I'm not afraid of Ning En, I want to try to get close to them, and if this is my brother's unfulfilled wish, I hope to complete it for him." ”

Lin Fan saw that her clear eyes were full of unshakable persistence.

Sid nodded with satisfaction, then turned to Lin Fan and said, "Miss Nishimura agreed, what about you, Mr. Lin?" ”

"I ...... I ......" Lin Fan was still hesitating, and Ji Yutong on the side preemptively said: "Dr. Sid, Lin Fan will cooperate with you, but we have a request." ”

"Request? Miss Ji, are you sure you can make a decision for Mr. Lin? Sid said.

Ji Yutong looked at Lin Fan, his eyes seemed to hope to gain his trust, Lin Fan thought for a while and replied: "Dr. Sid, I listen to Yutong, her decision is my decision." ”

Sid said: "Okay, then Miss Ji will tell your conditions." ”

"Dr. Sid, I would like to ask you to let us participate in this matter with Lin Fan, in addition to me, the other three classmates and Senior Officer Li can participate in it together."

"Miss Ji, you can consider it, but how can your classmates help me?" Sid Road.

Ji Yutong said: "Dr. Sid, no matter how much we can help you, this matter itself is inseparable from each of us. ”

"Oh? What can it do with them? ”

"We were all wrecked in the South Pacific three months ago, and we are fortunate to have been saved by you, and we are very grateful to you, but I think our encounter was not a coincidence, but a matter of fate. Our expedition three months ago was planned by Professor Li Dong and them, and what they have been looking for on the journey may be what you call the disappearing core area laboratory, I don't know if we have ever been close to it, but we paid a great price for it in the end, our classmates, Professor Li Dong, Dr. Nishimura Yu, Dr. Linda, and the captain of the ship may have all died at the bottom of the sea, and the fate of those of us who survived has also changed a hundred and eighty degrees. ”

Ji Yutong continued: "Doctor, didn't you just explain the 'entanglement theory' that 'there are some things in this world that are destined to be related to each other'? We've been through all of this, and we're finally in front of you, perhaps destined to connect with your research, to what you're looking for, so I beg you to give us a chance to be part of your action, and we want to know what our teachers and you have been looking for. ”

After listening to Ji Yutong's words, Sid lowered his head as if talking to himself: "Are you destined to have a relationship with it......

Xide didn't say anything for a long time, and the room was quiet for a while, Lin Fan was worried in his heart, he really hoped that Xue Panru and the three of them could also participate.

"That's a good angle, Miss Ji." Sid took off his glasses, raised his head and said to Ji Yutong: "Although your reason is quite far-fetched, it is quite convincing, I think I can agree to your request, but I declare in advance, if any of you do something superfluous, I will not be polite." ”

"Understood! Thank you Dr. Sid! ”

Antarctic Ocean

There is a circle of blue-yellow aurora flashing in the dark sky, and at this time, the Antarctic Circle is in the polar night, and it is shrouded in darkness 24 hours a day.

In the dark sea at night, two submarines sailed through the icy waters, they were sailing from a secret base in Antarctica, heading for an unknown place in the Southern Ocean.

These two submarines, one named "Seawolf" and the other named "Hague", both belong to the U.S. Navy, and in the "Seawolf", there is Lin Fan and his party, they are following Dr. Sid to Ning'en's stronghold, as Sid promised before, everyone participated in this operation, and now Lin Fan, Nishimura Lingzi, Ji Yutong, first mate Li Gang, Xue Panru, Chen Bo, Wu Lingling and a group of seven people are waiting for Sid's instructions in the rest cabin at the front of the "Seawolf".

The rest cabin is a narrow closed cabin, which has upper and lower beds, in order to save space, Lin Fan folded the beds on the upper bunk, and everyone sat on the lower bunk and chatted.

"Antelo, are you the sister of Dr. Yuki Nishimura? Oops, I really didn't expect it~! Xue Panru was leaning around the Xicun Antelope at this time, and said in an exaggerated tone.

"Why?" Nishimura Anteloko asked innocently.

"Because you don't look like a mother." Xue Panru said.

Wu Lingling next to her hurriedly slapped Xue Panru on the head.

"Ouch! Why are you hitting me!? Xue Panru touched his head and shouted.

"Fat Xue, you can't speak!" Wu Lingling crossed her waist and said.

"What? Am I wrong? You see that the antelope looks so cute, doesn't it look like Dr. Nishimura~" Xue Panru argued, in Lin Fan's impression, Nishimura Xiong looked mediocre, but Nishimura Antelope looked like a beautiful girl, so it was not surprising that Xue Panru had such thoughts.

"Fatty, you should fight, Lingling, do you want me to help you do it~" Chen Bo rolled up his sleeves and said eagerly.

At this time, Ji Yutong, who was holding an English science magazine on the side, explained: "Sometimes the offspring's appearance genes are inherited from the father, and sometimes from the mother, so even if the two siblings are not similar in appearance, it is not surprising." ”

Lin Fan was drinking water, he nodded silently when he heard it, and felt that Ji Yutong was right.

Unexpectedly, Nishimura Antelope said a little embarrassed: "Arnold, that, classmate Xue is actually right, my brother and I are indeed half-brothers and sisters......

When Lin Fan heard this, he almost squirted out the water.

"Ouch, I was really hit by the dead fat man, you crow's mouth." Chen Bo said with a smile.

"Hey, of course, my judgment in this regard is very accurate, wasn't it the monkey face mask last time?" Xue Panru took out the monkey face mask that Lin Fan bought, and said, "If it weren't for this mask, I don't know if we would be able to survive, Lin Fan, you say yes." ”

"Uh." Lin Fan's mask has now been taken by Xue Panru for himself.

"That's why you say you're a crow's mouth! If something happens again this time, I'll ask you, yes, put that thing away, I looked cautious and panicked. Chen Bo said.

"Hey, hey! You two don't talk nonsense! It's taboo to be a boat!" At this time, Li Gang, the first mate on the side, was dissatisfied.

Chen Bo and Xue Panru realized their gaffes, their expressions were embarrassed, and Wu Lingling on the side hurriedly persuaded them: "First mate, don't be angry, they are used to being so virtuous." ”

"Alas, it's not that I'm superstitious, but after doing this for a long time, I know that there are some things that need to be feared by the gods." First mate Li Gang said.

Everyone remembered the scientific expedition three months ago, and the mood couldn't help but be a little heavy, Ji Yutong on the side put down the scientific magazine in his hand and said: "The more people worry about a certain situation, the more likely it is to happen, this phenomenon is called Murphy's Law, which is actually a psychological effect, because the probability of bad things happening in reality always exists, and when people's worries happen to come true, we will think that our hunch is doing the trick." But this is not a bad thing, the existence of Murphy's Law reminds people to admit their ignorance, try to do things more rigorously, and at the same time have the courage to face problems, because bad situations will always exist and cannot be eliminated. ”

Ji Yutong's words rounded the atmosphere very well, freeing everyone from heavy emotions, sometimes Lin Fan felt that Ji Yutong was really higher than their existence, because her thoughts and insights completely surpassed their peers, and even more profound and insightful than some adults, she was the best partner for someone like him who was hesitant and lacked assertiveness, so with her by his side, Lin Fan couldn't help but feel very relieved.

"Bang bang bang" at this moment someone knocked on their hatch.

Wu Lingling went over and opened the door, and outside the door were two U.S. Navy soldiers, who said in English: "Please Mr. Lin and Miss Nishimura come out, Dr. Sid has a mission!" ”
