Chapter 585: Number Three [Malacca]

So, for the long time that followed, it was as if Ge Wei was enjoying the most luxurious dinner ever. As he feasted on a French meal that made him roll his eyes, he listened to Monis tell a shocking and unbelievable story.

"After receiving the order from General Norton to start the test, I gave the order for the assistants to activate the magnetic field generator at the same time. When I first started it, I could clearly feel the huge impact of the electromagnetic field on the surrounding environment, and the instrument also showed that two ultra-strong magnetic fields had opened. However, for the next few minutes, nothing happened. The magnetic field generator was running steadily, but nothing happened.

"Just when I was discouraged and thought that the experiment had failed again, it was at this time that my assistant suddenly reported to me that a device had detected a strange peak, a band and this kind of data that they had never encountered before. I thought there was something wrong with the instrument, so I ordered the assistants to review the instrument. Because at this time, we can only rely on ourselves, the strong magnetic field interferes with the communication between the ship and the shore, and we have no way to get in touch with General Norton, and we cannot know the changes that have occurred on the outside of the destroyer's hull at this time. It wasn't until later, after coming to this world, that I learned from the literature that at that time, the Eldridge was optically invisible!

"At that time, the assistant gave me feedback that everything was working with the instrument, that there were no hardware failures, and that no external interference sources were detected. So, I ordered the experiment to continue. After all, this experiment took a lot of effort from my mentor and me. I don't want to give up so easily. But then everything else. Suddenly it was completely out of my control, and it was beyond my imagination! I saw that everything around me seemed to be suddenly thrown into a honey jar. It's a state that we can't comprehend, and the surrounding scenes, people, and instruments become unreal. The voices of the people slowed down, and so did their movements so slowly that it was as if time had begun to stop. Or maybe. It's just that something is wrong with my perception. Anyway, I felt as if God had dropped the entire Eldridge into a huge container filled with sticky honey, and I felt suffocated.

Then I saw the firelight and heard a very unreal shout that seemed to come from a distance. There is an assistant. He put his hand on the counter, but his palm immediately sank in. Yes, stuck in the machine. It's as if the machine is made of melted butter and can easily reach into it. But. The assistant's hand never pulled out. All he pulled out was half of his arm. And his hand has been lost inside the machine. I was stunned.

"I used to be at the Guru's. I've heard him talk about an underlying theory called the 'honey effect'. The mentor believes that some kind of high-strength magnetic field. Not only will it cause a change in the motion of the 'field', but it will also likely affect the basic properties of the elements. But this theory cannot be proved by the instructor himself. At one point before the experiment, I thought I had lost a parameter that I hadn't taken into account. And then, I finally came to my senses. The honey effect is the effect of the basic arrangement of the elements, which causes a serious change in the molecular density of the substance. Objects affected by strong magnetic fields will become very 'soft', like honey. At this time, the metal no longer has the strength of metal, and the strength of the human hand alone can make the hand penetrate the metal. However, this is not the most terrifying.

"Because, it's not just the microscopic level of metals that is affected, but all matter in a strong magnetic field. That's why, the protective and countermeasures we took at the beginning completely lost what they were supposed to do. The human body, which should be more fragile than metal, entered the honey effect at the same time. The assistant's hand, with its own strength, reached into the metal, causing the metal elements to interact with the human elements and rearrange them into a new, denser substance. And when he pulled his hand out again, you can imagine what he pulled out......

So, at that moment, I didn't dare to move. I didn't dare to make any moves, not even make a sound, and breathe carefully. Because I'm not sure if the rarefied elements in the air will have any effect on me. Strangely, because of gravity, even if I didn't move, my feet would automatically sink into the deck below. The only explanation I was able to make later was that the strong magnetic field, under the influence of the 'field', made it no longer gravitational within the range of the magnetic field.

"Tragedy, all kinds of tragedy that made my heart tremble, happened scene after scene in front of my eyes! Some people caught fire because the machine caught fire, some people fainted in fright, and most of them were so frightened that their whole bodies were completely embedded in the wall...... Time seems to have passed through a century. The magnetic field generator is still running, and I'm desperate...... Until, suddenly, I fell into the sea. ”

"Fell into the sea?" Ge Wei picked up a snail's tail with a fork and put it into his mouth, chewing it while the urn chirped angrily.

"You heard it right, it did fall into the sea. Moreover, it fell into the sea suddenly, without any warning. Monis didn't care about Ge Wei's interjection, and continued: "I don't know what the reason is. One moment I was in the cabin, witnessing the miserable sight of my assistants, and the next moment I fell straight into the sea straight through the air. When I woke up, I found that the Aldridge was gone!

"The warm waters made me suddenly realize that I was free! In any case, the desire to survive and reason made me immediately strive to swim to the sea, of course, in the direction I thought I was on the seaside. It wasn't until I was exhausted and I should have swam to the beach that I realized that something was wrong again.

"Thankfully, I survived. Monis said this, showing a look of extreme luck: "A fishing boat that happened to pass by found me in the water and rescued me. And I also learned from the fishermen that at this time, I was no longer near the coastline of the Port of Philadelphia, or even in the territorial waters of the United States. I actually got to the Strait of Malacca!"

"Strait of Malacca!" Ge Wei almost chewed his tongue: "Malacca is half a world away from Philadelphia!"

"Yes, I was as surprised as you were! No matter what the fisherman said that they were indeed Malayans, and claimed that they had taken advantage of the Japanese inattention, they had slipped out to fish to supplement their families, and even found the British flag to show me, I did not believe that I would suddenly come to Malacca from the east coast of the United States, halfway around the world! The fisherman looked at me as an American, thought I was from the American Navy, and was very close to me. And I happened to be familiar with the world situation at that time, so I asked the fishermen to show me the way and took me to a nearby Allied base. After some inquiry, I finally had to believe that I was in South Asia at this time......"

Monis lit a cigarette for himself, took two puffs, stared fixedly at the rising smoke, and continued:

"I've asked to call the country and want to contact General Norton. The commander of the Allied base did not embarrass me when he saw that I was an American, and the phone was quickly connected. However, one thing I didn't expect was that it was General Norton on the other end of the phone, but he said that he had never heard of the name Monis! I was completely confused, and my subconscious reminded me that something special must have happened!

"As it was still a time of war, my request to return to the United States was rejected for many reasons. I had no choice but to stay at the Allied bases, eating and sleeping every day, reminiscing about what had happened, trying to find clues that could explain everything. Even I didn't expect that I would stay at the base for two years! When I finally received the news that I would be able to return to the United States, I also received the news that the United States had just dropped two atomic bombs on Japanese soil not long ago.

"A month later, I was back in Philadelphia. By this time, the Second World War had also ended. We won. It wasn't a surprise to me, it was just a matter of time. After I went ashore, I learned from the outside world a series of major events that had happened in the past two months or so. Including news of Hitler's suicide, the surrender of Germany and Japan, and the death of US President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The funny thing is that at that time, as an American, I didn't know where Roosevelt was sacred! I was still wondering when Martin Luther King Jr. had left office, and there was no news about it.

"I went home. Well...... Let's call it home. Because when I arrived, I found that there was already someone else living there. And I inquired around and learned that this family has been living here for more than ten years. Moreover, no one had heard of someone named Monis, and she, was not there. ”

Monis stopped and looked at the black-and-white photo on the table. Ge Wei just saw the photo, which shows a young woman with a typical hairstyle and outfit typical of women from the Second World War era, on Einstein's right. Ge Wei noticed that every time Monis looked at the woman, his gaze would become soft, and this time was no exception.

"She's ...... Your girlfriend?" asked Ge Wei tentatively.

Monis smiled, "We're engaged. ”

"Oh......" Ge Wei didn't know what to say, it was obviously not a good story in front of him.

As expected, Monis's gaze gradually darkened, and he whispered in a somewhat lost tone, "Her name is Tina, Tina? We've known each other since college, and we've been together since then, and we've gotten along very well. I'm sure Tina won't leave me at any time. So, at the time, I even thought I was in the wrong place, that it wasn't my original home. Later, I tried to inquire about Tina, and in the end, I did find her. ”

"Is that her?" Ge Wei didn't think he was gossiping.

"Yes and no. Monis said with a sigh. (To be continued......)
