Chapter 1 Exhibition Hall
"Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen." An elegant and beautiful voice came from the ubiquitous electronic loudspeaker: "Today is the last time the exhibition hall is open, and from tomorrow, several antiquities here will be transferred to the collection of the Federal Museum, please ......"
The exhibition hall is crowded with people, although it cannot be said that it is shoulder to shoulder, but it is not much worse.
"Mingwei, do you think we spent all this effort squeezing here?" A clear accent complained outside the exhibition hall.
"I don't know if it's counted, I just know that this is the homework assigned by the doctor, and if I don't finish it, we will have good fruit to eat." An equally young voice sounded, listening to the tone, and the owner of the voice was also quite complaining about this visit.
After separating from his companions, Fang Mingwei sighed and squeezed into the exhibition hall that was overcrowded for the first time in decades.
Fang Mingwei's grade is not very big, only eighteen years old this year. In this cosmic era where the average life expectancy has reached 200, he is not even an adult.
His home lives on the planet Karim, a beautiful planet that is one of the thousands of habitable planets under the jurisdiction of the Grand Alliance.
Since there are not many humans on the planet, everyone owns a large private field. Here, there will never be a traffic jam, there will never be muddy air.
But, again, there is a lack of a sense of competing crises here.
According to a popular saying in the major leagues, this is a great place to retire, not for young people who want to work hard to make a career.
At least, the current Fang Mingwei appreciates this sentence very much, although he does not have any ambitious hopes in his heart. All he yearns for is to go out and see the world. It's just that for a young man of his age, this wish is still a bit extravagant.
Because, his parents will not agree with his wish at this time, and once he loses the financial support of his parents, Fang Mingwei can only be reduced to the ranks of the rescued.
When I entered the exhibition hall, in addition to the human head, what I saw was the human head.
Fang Mingwei secretly complained, Karim Planet would never have been crowded like this. However, this time is the exception, the first in the thousands of years of history since humanity transformed this beautiful planet.
Just a month ago, a batch of antiquities was excavated from this planet, which is said to be very valuable. The Archon of the planet Karim made a lot of hype and pulled up enough political capital for himself.
However, I don't know what channel was passed to let the Grand Federation Museum know about it, and after the identification of several inspectors, it was decided to include these things in the Grand Federation Museum.
Although the ruler was not satisfied, he could only unconditionally obey the order from the federal capital.
However, due to the wishes of the inhabitants of Karim, these artifacts will remain in Karim's largest exhibition hall for the last week, and today is the last day of the week.
Professor Fang Mingwei is a knowledgeable person, but last week he didn't know what the nerves were, so he arranged an observation report on the topic of this antiquity, and ordered all students to conduct a physical investigation.
For a week, there have been many people on the entire planet who have gone to the exhibition hall to see the last glance of these antiquities, and Fang Mingwei has never been used to being crowded with so many people, but seeing that this afternoon is the last chance, he can only frown and grit his teeth and rush in.
There are still a lot of people inside, and it seems that this thing has indeed aroused the curiosity of everyone on Karim.
Fortunately, everyone's quality is good, and they line up independently and walk towards the inside of the exhibition hall.
I heard that the antiquities unearthed this time came from the aborigines of this planet who have disappeared for an unknown number of billions of years, which is why they are so eye-catching.
The real objects are placed in the very center of the exhibition hall, and the periphery is just ordinary exhibits.
Of course, the interest of the crowd is not here, and there is no one on the periphery who wants to appreciate these things that can be played with in the virtual space.
Patiently following the movement of the crowd, it was finally Fang Mingwei's turn to walk to the large booth in the middle.
There are many things that have been separated from the rocks, but there are not many that can be called valuable. A small booth is all it takes.
The crowd hadn't moved to the booth yet, so Fang Mingwei's eyes couldn't see the items very clearly. From a distance, it was still a blur.
As the crowd moved slowly, finally, Fang Mingwei came to the front of the booth.
On top of that were some strange things, big and small, and no one could tell what they were.
At this moment, a soft radio voice came from his ears: "The newly unearthed ancient relics this time contain a magical energy, and no instrument can define the origin and function of this energy......"
Unconsciously, Fang Mingwei's eyes were firmly fixed on one of the small round beads.
He didn't understand why he had suddenly become so interested in it. In the dark, he seemed to have a very familiar feeling about this round bead, as if it was supposed to be his own.
However, although his eyes were firmly fixed on the thing, his footsteps still subconsciously followed the flow of people.
Someone sighed in surprise kept coming from his ears: "Sure enough, you must see them with your own eyes to feel that they are different......"
"Yes, it must be a gift from the Lord, Amen!"
Although Fang Mingwei is a thorough atheist, he still has a certain sense of identity with this sentence at the moment.
Now this society is already a thorough Skynet era. As long as it is in the territory of the Human Alliance, Skyweb is as omnipresent as a spider's web. Information has become something that anyone can easily grasp.
When these ancient artifacts were just unearthed, their photos and videos had long been widely circulated on Skynet. However, what really touches people is that all those who have seen them say in unison that they can only notice their differences when they see them with their own eyes.
As introduced on the radio, there is a mysterious power in their body that cannot be explained by human technology at present. And that's why the bigwigs in the federal capital are interested in them. It is also for this reason that the final result of the overcrowding of the exhibition hall has been caused.
Fang Mingwei's gaze didn't notice the other objects, from beginning to end, his eyes were condensed on this small round bead, as if as long as no one disturbed him, he could watch it forever.
However, the movement of people was not centered on his will, and soon, he had to walk through the large platform in the center of the exhibition hall.
At the moment when he reluctantly withdrew his gaze, Fang Mingwei's heart swelled with a strong sense of reluctance, as if he had suddenly forgotten something extremely important, so that he was lost.
"Bang ......"
There was a loud sound of glass shattering, and then all the lights in the entire exhibition hall went out at the same time.
"Ah......h
There was a continuous stream of screams from the crowd, accompanied by some hoarse and heavy male exclamations among the vast majority of the sopranos.
Fang Mingwei and the others at the corner fell into the embarrassment of not seeing their fingers, and suddenly someone asked: "What's the matter?" ”
"God knows, what's going on with this gallery?"
"So dark, what's going on?"
"Why is there no light? I want lights, I want complaints. ”
A moment later, a strong man's voice came: "Guests, please forgive me, there was an accident just now, and the power went out in the exhibition hall. The voice was not loud and loud, but everyone in the huge exhibition hall could hear it clearly.
"Blackout?"
"Trick the devil into it."
"Ahh We were lucky to have a legendary power outage......"
Whispered curses and cries of surprise were constantly heard from the crowd, and in this extremely technologically advanced society, the word blackout has long been insulated from human life.
With the exception of those humans who live on planets with extremely harsh environments, it can be said that the vast majority of people do not know what a power outage is like from the moment they are born until they die.
However, today, the people in this exhibition hall are fortunate to enjoy a special treatment, and since then they have the capital to show off in front of others.
Just when Fang Mingwei couldn't cry or laugh, there was the sound of someone walking around him. The man did not seem to be affected by the darkness, avoiding the crowd with every step and moving quickly towards the door.
Fang Mingwei didn't care at first, but at the moment when the person walked by him, he suddenly realized that there was a familiar feeling on that person's body, which was exactly the same as when he saw the small round bead just now.
His heart skipped a beat, and a horrible thought crossed his mind.
The man's footsteps didn't stop, and in a blink of an eye, he walked past Fang Mingwei, and at this moment, the feeling of being lost returned. So, for some reason, he immediately judged that the little round bead was on the person who walked by at this moment.
A strong unwillingness welled up in his heart, and in the depths of his mind, someone seemed to be shouting, this is my thing, it belongs to me.
Suddenly, the small round bead on the man's body disappeared without anyone noticing. Even the mysterious man carrying it didn't know.
The small round bead came to Fang Mingwei silently, no one paid attention to it, and no one noticed it with any instrument, and the small round bead flew to Fang Mingwei's ears.
