CHAPTER XXIV

After I had no choice but to agree to Old Man Wu's request, my heart became restless. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoI don't know where this anxious feeling comes from, but since I promised Old Man Wu something, my heart has always been in a trance.

I was so anxious that I didn't hear what Old Man Wu said to me clearly in the following time, nor did I pay attention to the opinions of the people present on this matter again. Lost in thought, the only thought that came to my mind was that I had to find Julie right away. In order to avoid the sacrifice of innocent people because of my naivety, it has become urgent to contact Julie immediately.

For the aliens, the current earthlings are protected by them though. But in the final analysis, earthlings are not people's experiments? Just like the guinea pigs in the lab, it's normal for those aliens to take out a few problematic guinea pigs at random.

Although I now know that I am just a new human, an earth-messenger who exists among humans, as an emissary between earthlings and aliens, I should not have expressed my clear opinion on these things. But after twenty years, I don't know why I've come to think of myself as a real human being.

I grew up like a normal person on a planet full of life and increasing technological advancement. To outsiders, even to my parents, I was no different from other human beings. In general, I want to convey that I myself now have a deep, indelible affection for everything on earth, and I don't know if a new human like me can have the feelings to dominate the human spiritual world, and I don't know where this affection will eventually lead me. Of course, none of this matters now, the important thing is that I really can't bear to cause innocent casualties due to my own negligence now.

I have to grasp the rhythm of the whole thing before it can be controlled, otherwise once things develop to the point where people are out of control, and this kind of thing happens to damage Professor Du's interests, then with Julie's resolute and resolute handling of things, I think even the most innocent people will not be spared.

How easy it is for humans to trample an ant to death on this earth, but they still don't realize that it is not necessarily more troublesome to trample on them than to trample an ant to death for some existence that has completely surpassed their imagination.

Filled with too many worries, I could only sit there silently thinking about what to do, and just as I was sitting there anxiously thinking about how to find Julie as soon as possible, I felt that someone pushed me hard from behind. I first moved backwards violently, and when I had come back to my senses, I realized that it was Tang Zongli who was looking at me with strange eyes.

After he pushed me, he looked at me with puzzled eyes, and when he saw that I had returned to reality from the artistic conception of running out of thoughts, he smiled and whispered to me: "Wu Lao is waiting for you to answer, why don't you speak for a long time, what do you think?" Is there something on the mind? ”

After being pushed by Tang Zongli, I suddenly came back to my senses, and immediately looked in the direction of Old Man Wu embarrassedly. Seeing that everyone was looking at me with curious eyes, I could only smile wryly with an expressionless face.

I looked around before explaining, "Nuclear batteries and some sealing materials are hard to buy in the market, and I mean nuclear batteries for long-term stable storage are difficult to manufacture. Because of the suddenness of the incident, I had been thinking about how to make a suitable nuclear battery as soon as possible, so my mind was a little hairy. In addition, I didn't sleep well last night, so my spirit is not very good. I'm really sorry just now, I mean I didn't mean to. ”

Seeing me explain my recklessness just now, Wu Lao's face, which had been elongated just now, changed, and he immediately said with a smile on his face: "Then did you come up with any good solution just now?" Do you need some help and support from our relevant technical departments? Xiao Chen, this matter is a great responsibility, you are still young, don't be under pressure, the burden on your shoulders is heavy, we will all help you bear it. ”

I looked at Old Man Wu's unpredictable expression and hurriedly smiled and said, "I really want to thank you for your concern, but now I think I'm okay, and I don't need to help for the time being." In addition to the problem of obtaining materials for the battery, the question I was thinking about just now was how to make the aircraft fly more stably than the last model aircraft, I think this time the drone will perform a long mission, and the flight time will be longer than the last one. And in order to prevent the other party's warning radar and search radar from discovering, I can't install those things in the past on it, and in the need for stealth, the model aircraft we make this time will be more difficult, and we can't install so many sensors for stealth, which puts forward higher requirements for our flight control. And then again, in a realistic sense, after all, it's a waste to use a million to make a flying machine that can only be used once. ”

Hearing that I was thinking about his plan everywhere, Wu Lao, who was sitting opposite me, said in an excited tone: "Xinyao, I didn't expect you to have a hard and simple style at a young age, this is really a blessing for the country." The times are developing, people's living standards are getting better and better, and people who were born in peace and happiness have vague memories of the national trauma of that distant generation, and national defense construction will have to undergo severe tests against the background of this era. There are fewer and fewer young people like you who are both gifted and willing to delve into boring exploratory research, and you have given me hope for the future of our country. Xiao Chen, in the future in work and life, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you can come to me at any time, and the country will help you solve what I can't solve. You must have confidence and perseverance in the cause you are doing now, and you must have a sense of honor and mission. Although the development of the times has degenerated many people, in such a good environment is also an era of talents, you must do a good job in scientific research while you must have the spirit of self-discipline and noble personality cultivation without arrogance or rashness. You are a genius, and I believe that in the future you will become our country's own Einstein, and I am looking forward to this day. He laughed out loud.

People sometimes lie in front of others to respect each other, this kind of lie has no malice, on the contrary, it can also play a role in protecting the life safety of others.

Listening to the old man Wu in front of me, he had already taken all the words I had just made up and praised randomly, so I continued to say without distinguishing between truth and falsehood: "Old Wu, don't hide it, the difficulties we have encountered are problems that no one can solve now. I had no choice but to buy the world's best engine on the deep web to propel my model airplane. But even so, in the state of high-speed operation and overload, the Russian engine will be quickly scrapped under the huge energy impact of the plutonium nuclear battery. However, I believe that with the continuous updating and development of our science and technology. Through the research and exploration of a new generation, new and better thrusters will be developed, and at the same time, we will be able to develop more stable small plutonium energy reactors. ”

"It's really commendable that you have this determination, and this is really a successor when the country is thriving. I believe that through your efforts, the rejuvenation of the country and the nation will be realized in advance in the hands of your generation. Alright, since you've promised to help us, and time is pressing, then I won't bother you with your work anymore. Besides, I, an old man, and you young people have been together for a long time, and they don't have a common language, and you will feel very restrained when I am here. Although I am confused, I still have this bit of self-knowledge, so I will go back first, hoping that you can give me good news as soon as possible. With that, he stood up and shook hands with us one by one with the help of Wu Guoxiong, and then walked out of the door with the farewell of all of us.

After sending Old Man Wu to the car and seeing him leave, I returned to the room without saying a word, and then sat down on the sofa with a butt. Seeing that I had been sitting and not speaking, Ouyang Jing first broke the deadlock and said: "Although we know that what we are doing is wrong, there is also a meaning of cutting first and then playing. But I think this is also a patriotic act, we as enthusiastic young people should contribute to the construction of national defense, contribute our own strength, this is what the teacher told us in our primary school classroom, do you say it is Xinyao? ”

"Love your size, is there a country like you? I don't think if you don't get this right, you won't know how you died. Listening to Ouyang Jing's defense, I immediately pointed at the nose of the three of them angrily and said reprimandingly.

"The matter is not as serious as you said, even if things are really like that, then why did you agree to Old Man Wu's request just now? You can completely refuse him. Listening to my reprimand, Tang Zong thought about it and said softly.

"You guys are too innocent. From ancient times to the present, politics has served the personal ambitions of politicians. This businessman pursues economic interests differently, and politicians can often sacrifice everything in order to achieve their own revenge. If there is anyone in the world who is the craziest and who can cause the greatest disaster to the world, it is the conspiracy of politicians. Besides, you are stupid or am I stupid, since people can open this mouth with me just now, Old Man Wu will naturally not let me have room to refuse. Old man Wu has buttoned me up with the political hat of national righteousness and national rejuvenation, what reason can I refuse his request again? Am I going to be a traitor? Or will he be secretly executed on charges of espionage? Tang Zongli, tomorrow I don't care what method you use, it doesn't matter how much money you spend, you have to let Zhang Hailiang and them get out of the military, you must, immediately, immediately. Also, the three of you, no matter what happens in the future, our affairs will be absolutely confidential in the future, and no one outside us will be allowed to know about anything, otherwise we will be responsible for the consequences of the incident. After saying this, I stood up angrily, and then grabbed the Daben key on the table with one hand and rushed out angrily. Seeing me walk out angrily, the three of them who were still sitting in the suite could only look at my departing back and be stunned.

I drove aimlessly forward, and as I walked, I found that the car I was driving had come to the vicinity of the Temple of Heaven. At this point, I felt a little hungry, so I parked in a nearby parking lot and started looking for a place to eat.

After turning around two snack streets with antique buildings, a coffee shop with its entire storefront painted bright red immediately caught my eye. I looked up at the name on it, and saw a huge red hot stamping plaque with five big black characters written on it neatly written in imitation Song style.

Seeing this coffee house with a unique style and a very incongruous theme, I immediately remembered what they told me before I broke up with Yang Yue and them. I remember they saying that as a liaison between me and them, Julie would open a coffee shop or dessert station in the city where I went to college, so that we could easily communicate with each other. Maybe I'm too anxious in my heart, but now when I see the coffee house, I remember what Yang Yue told me before, but even so, I don't think the coffee house in front of me can be opened by Julie.

Looking at this strangely decorated coffee house, first of all, the aesthetic taste is not enough, with Julie's eyes, how can it be possible to decorate the Western-style coffee house with a mix of Chinese and Western. The decoration of the overall building feels like it is not adaptable, and Yang Yue also told me in advance that Julie's coffee house is near our school, but it is far beyond the scope of our school.

Even though the analysis in my mind was like this, my curiosity made me want to go in and have a look. Ever since I left the hotel, all I had on my mind was how I could find Julie as quickly as possible. For the safety of everyone's lives, it has come to the point of no further ado. But before I saw this coffee shop, I had forgotten what Yang Yue had told me at the beginning, maybe I should look for all the best coffee houses in Kyoto. Thinking of this, I immediately strode towards this dream coffee house.

"Welcome." As soon as I walked into this weird high-end café, I was immediately caught by the sight of two tall welcoming girls in Qing Dynasty cheongsams standing in the doorway. If the exterior architecture of the café just now made me feel very weird, the welcome costume in front of me pushed this weirdness even further. I have to say that I have now entered a world that feels very mysterious, like exploring an ancient town, and I began to look around with curiosity.

Although the architecture is unique and the waiters are dressed in a unique way, the furnishings in a café are not much different from those of a regular coffee shop. Led by one of the girls, I sat down in a window seat on the second floor. On the elegantly decorated coffee table on the second floor sat a few people who were whispering while drinking coffee. There are also some young people playing with computers and headphones in their ears, sitting by the window facing the street and quietly surfing the Internet. After the welcome left, a waiter in a black uniform walked over.

At this time, the waiter, who was already standing in front of me, asked softly, "Sir, are you one?" Or do you want to wait for someone? ”

"I'm coming alone. Miss, you have the best coffee here, bring me a cup and let me taste it. Before she could ask again, I asked before she did.

"Sir, we don't have the best coffee here, only the one that best suits your taste. Sir, just write down your expectations and feelings about the coffee in your mind on this piece of paper, and our chef will brew the coffee that best suits your personal taste. As she spoke, she gently placed a piece of dark blue gilded paper like an invitation and a delicate fountain pen in front of me.

Listening to the waiter's words, I felt a little funny in my own heart. How is this possible? How can you cook the flavor you want? Although I was skeptical, I waited for her to finish and immediately asked, "Can this really be the case?" You're going to cook what I want it to taste? ”

"You might as well try." Looking at my puzzled gaze, the waiter ignored my suspicious eyes. She continued to smile at me, and at the same time confidently insisted that I write down the taste in my mind on a piece of paper.

I had no choice but to pick up a pen and write casually on the paper, "Please let me spend this torturous day quietly, there is a smell that can calm me down, no matter what, I need to be calm now." ”

When I finished writing this, I looked at the piece of paper and smiled self-deprecatingly. After I looked at the note and admired it, I was suspicious and handed it to the waiter next to me.

She politely took the piece of paper, looked at the contents of the card, she smiled at me slightly, then she smiled and told me to wait, and then she turned and went downstairs. Although she didn't show overly surprised at my request, the moment she turned to leave, I could clearly see the confusion written on her face through the mirror on the wall.

Faced with this puzzled expression, I could only shake my head. Basking in the golden sunlight refracted by the window, looking through the soundproof, cleaned spotless landscape glass, and watching the bustling crowd walking back and forth through the square, in fact, my mood was extremely bad at the moment.

Anyway, even though things have gotten a little bad, I still want to take control of my own destiny. This idea of wanting to control my own destiny became even more eager in my heart after Old Man Wu visited me.

Although this morning's events are not obvious on the surface, I have become clearly aware of the existence of a danger that is slowly approaching me, and as it watches, my fate is quietly in the hands of others. This is something I don't want to see, and it's something I can't tolerate after going through too much.

Everything I experienced in the sun made me deeply understand the importance of freedom and the preciousness of life, and I don't know if this is a kind of rapid maturity that is fueled by seedlings, or that this kind of maturity should not appear too early in my life journey. In any case, I hope that the future will be completely in my own hands. I don't need others to dominate my world anymore, although Julie's presence is irresistible, but at least the people here can't, I don't need them to run my world.

I must be in charge of my own destiny, and this is the beginning of the rise of the strong. In the sense of benefiting mankind, as a cosmic messenger, I should serve the entire human race. I shouldn't be a tool for someone's political ambitions, and in that regard, I don't want to be used by others to do something relatively unfair. My own existence is already a challenge to the fairness of the world, and from this understanding, I don't want to disturb the balance of the game in this world any more.

I can create a new scale, but that doesn't mean I'm willing to be a weight.

When I think of this, I begin to deeply regret the decision I made on the spur of the moment. The model airplane that should not have been created too soon is now a dagger to my heart, the price I paid for being too impulsive. Thinking about it now, I was really naïve at that time.

"Sir, your coffee is ready, I hope it will suit your personal taste, here are some delivered desserts, I hope it will help you have a pleasant afternoon." When the waiter reminded me that the coffee had been served, I suddenly came to my senses. Looking around, and then at the coffee and desserts in front of me, I realized that I had just lost my mind.

When the coffee was served, a faint aroma of coffee beans came to my nose accompanied by a strong milky aroma, and I couldn't help but feel the urge to taste it immediately. I took a sip of the coffee first, and when I tasted it, I only felt that it was a slightly bitter, sticky, and just right feeling in my mouth.

After a cup of coffee, I felt like my whole body was relaxed. I grew so big, drank countless bags of instant melt coffee, and went to a lot of cafes with my buddies to pretend to drink high-end coffee many times elegantly, but until today I felt that coffee can have the taste you want, and you can enjoy it like this and taste it slowly. This really verifies the waiter's saying, there is no best coffee, but it has the most suitable taste.

"The coffee I brew is to your taste, handsome little man. The coffee tastes good, but you can't drink it like you. "Just as I had three glasses in a row, about to ask for a fourth cup while eating toast, suddenly a familiar voice came to my ears.

"Julie?" As I reflexively whispered the name, I saw a white figure disappear in a corner of the second floor.

When I saw the figure flash, I immediately stood up and chased after the figure where it had disappeared. When I chased to the corner, I found that the corner was a carpeted corridor, and at the end of the corridor was a room with double doors, and on the left side of the door was written with a striking yellow sign that read five large characters in the general manager's office.

When I rushed into the office, Julie was sitting on the couch and fiddling with the tea ceremony. She didn't look at me as she burst in, and when I walked into the office, the door closed automatically.

When I saw that the person in front of me was really Julie, I sat on the sofa opposite, first ate tofu on her bad body, and then complained repeatedly: "You have a leisurely day here, I thought you disappeared." According to our plan, you are my liaison officer. But how long has it been since you disappeared last time, and I haven't heard from you since you except that note. If I hadn't happened to come to your lair today, wouldn't you still be hiding and unwilling to see me? ”

"Xinyao, don't be angry. Come, drink some of the big red robe of Wuyi Mountain first. Tea is really wonderful, and people here really enjoy it, not only do they have different types of tea, but they also invented tea culture, and I think tea is much better than coffee. With that, she carefully moved a small cup of tea in front of me with a fork, and then gently put it down.

Seeing Julie's casual appearance, I said a little angrily, "Tell me, what the hell is going on." Why haven't you left me alone since the last time you returned from the sun? Are you asking me to carry out the plan alone? If that's the case, then I'll demand the highest privileges. I'll do it myself, so don't get involved, anyway, you're busy, and you take care of a lot of things all day, so how can you remember a little person like me. ”

"Xinyao, haven't you always done it well? You've built model airplanes, you've got people, you've got money, and you've got a company. Everything is going according to plan, of course, as for the reconnaissance plane that we helped the people of country M to shoot down, and it is now parked at the base on Tuping Island, which is also part of the plan. Listening to my question, Julie sipped her tea, and then looked at me and said slowly.

"What? Did you get the plane down? Why? What does this have to do with our plans? Did you also expect that Old Man Wu would come to me after the reconnaissance plane lost contact? But even if that were the case, what did it have to do with our plans? I was very surprised to hear Julie say this.

"There's information about those two ships on Tuping Island, so we're planning to let you take a ride and see for yourself if the ship is there, and maybe you'll find some clues about the ship there. On the other hand, we have received information that humanity is doing something unfair to the world there, and you can also remove some scourge from humanity by the way. Julie smiled at my words, and then explained to me briefly.

"Could it be that Old Man Wu is also running for the spaceship?" Listening to Julie's answer, I quickly asked, feeling even more shocked.
