When boarding the plane in Washington, Muyang met his other three companions. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Professor Robert Atkins of the Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics at Harvard University, Professor Rem Koolhaas, an expert in genetics at Columbia University, and Professor Yuri Bronfenbrenner of Crystal Materials Science at Princeton University.

This time, the four of them will be sent to Area 51 together.

After the four of them met, they said hello, in fact, all four of them are from Ivy League universities. Mu Yang and Professor Robert Atkins are both professors of astronomy, and they had met at the annual meeting of astronomical sciences before, so they naturally chatted together.

With Muyang's little astronomical knowledge, how could he deal with Professor Robert Atkins, he could only be an audience member and not provoke discussions, even if he occasionally answered one or two sentences, he had to rely on Xiaoying's constant reminders to confuse the past.

In the end, Muyang was also unbearable, went to the toilet, and when he came back, he said that he was a little uncomfortable and wanted to take a break, and then took a sedative, and lay down next to him and pretended to sleep.

The other three got together to discuss other cutting-edge science.

A few hours later, the plane announced that it was ready to land, and Mu Yang looked out the window to see the earthy Gobi, the low hills with sparse bushes, and the military base in the distance, all of which heralded the arrival of Area 51.

The plane landed, stepped on the suspension ladder and got off the plane, and a major came to pick them up with two cars in a dry and earthy northwest wind.

Raise your hand and give an American military salute, "Hello four professors, I am Major Engel of the base, responsible for coming to pick you up, please get in the car first, the specific situation, when you get to the base, someone will be responsible for explaining to you." The major said.

Although the Major had already said this, Professor Rem Koolhaas couldn't help but ask, "Are there aliens here?" ”

Well, the professor is also human and curious, and like Muyang, they are also the first to come into contact with this place, which is known as the most mysterious place in the United States.

Major Engel was unimpressed, and replied ambiguously: "When you enter the base, you will find the answer, and perhaps the answer will surprise you even more." ”

After a few minutes of driving around the base, the military vehicle drove directly into a large warehouse, and everyone got out of the car, which was more like an office building, and the four of them were invited into a room, Major Engel said: "The base is not allowed to bring in any electronic equipment, so we need to check a few of them." Then soldiers came forward and examined their bodies and belongings.

The inspection was so careful that the cell phones, laptops, and even electronic watches they were carrying had to be left behind, and only mechanical watches were allowed, and after making sure that there were no electronic devices, the four were taken to a rest area.

Professor Robert Atkins complained to Major Engel, "You took away my personal devices, there are a lot of software that I use regularly, and I wouldn't be able to work without them." ”

Major Engel didn't like him at all, but said lightly: "The base is equipped with bigger and more advanced equipment, as well as all kinds of software, I believe they are enough to meet the needs of experts, we have dozens of experts here every year, and this rule is never allowed to be violated." ”

Professor Atkins had no choice but to spread his hands.

After lunch and a little rest, Major Engel reappeared, this time with Colonel Peter Eisenman, the head of the base's security department, who handed each of the four professors a document and said: "This is a confidentiality agreement, although I have great trust in the personal integrity of the professors, but this is the rule of the base, anything you see or hear in the base is not to be disclosed to the outside world, if you violate the principle of confidentiality, you will be prosecuted by the government." ”

"Also, this time you enter the base, you will spend 60 days underground, and you are not allowed to leave halfway, of course, if you want to renew your contract and continue to study, we are very welcome, there are many experts who have stayed here after coming to the base, and some have not even left the base for 2 years."

"If you don't agree with this rule, then I'm sorry, I'll send someone to send you back to Washington, D.C., and you should be on a short trip."

The four of them glanced at each other, and Muyang took the lead and said, "I have no opinion, I agree with this agreement." "Then he picked up the pen and signed his name, 'Carl? Sagan'.

The other three only hesitated slightly, and their curiosity about Area 51 instantly overcame them, and they signed the agreement one after another, isn't it two months, if it's really unpleasant, it's a big deal to leave in two months.

Colonel Peter Eisenman accepted the four agreements to satisfaction, and then led the four professors to an elevator room, where he introduced them to the four of them while checking their identities with their cards: "The base is between 50 and 80 meters underground, with a total of three floors and a total area of 200,000 square meters. ”

"When you go underground, you're going to be divided into different groups, like Carl? Professor Sagan and Professor Robert Atkins. They will be assigned to the Astronomy Laboratory, and as for the specific work, they will need to be assigned by the department head. ”

The elevator started and slid down quickly to the ground, so fast that it even felt a little weightless.

Muyang was a little excited, and finally entered this mysterious place that many people yearn for, the elevator door opened, and a hidden world was unfolding its own picture towards him.

Walking through the all-metal corridors, there is even a feeling of entering a science fiction world, Colonel Peter Eisenman leads them into an office, and then informs several departments to pick them up, and Muyang, along with Professor Robert Atkins, is taken to the Astronomy Laboratory of Cosmos.

The man who came to pick them up was a middle-aged white man in his thirties, not very tall, about 1.7 meters, with a full beard, who greeted them very respectfully after seeing the two, and then took them to the dormitory where they lived.

The dormitory is somewhat similar to that of a university in the United States, with two bedrooms and separate rooms, and Muyang lives with Professor Robert Atkins.

After putting down the luggage, the beard took Mu Yang and the two to an office, and pushed open the office door, Mu Yang didn't feel anything, but Professor Robert Atkins exclaimed, "Professor Howard Hawkes, Professor Wenceslas Kraus, Professor Stephen Hadley, you are all here." ”

"Hey Robert, I knew you were coming the other day, and you're slow." An old professor said with a smile.

"By the way, there happens to be a problem in your field of expertise, we are discussing, assuming that the cosmic string exists, because it has a huge mass, it has the nature of distorting space-time, and it is necessary to rotate less than 360 degrees around the center of the string in the distorted space-time, that is, it can do a warp-like jump......"
