Looking at the guilty Su Yongnan, Lin Feng said: "Mr. Su, don't be sad first, please tell me what happened back then." ”

"Hey, I almost lost my life because I insisted on killing your father, and your father was my savior. Without your father, I wouldn't be where I am today. It all started that night twenty years ago......"

In 1983, in a research institute in L Province, two men in white protective clothing stared at the reaction furnace in front of them, looking tired but full of infinite strength.

"Lin Hua, you said that your wife is about to give birth, why are you still working overtime in the laboratory?" You go home and accompany your wife, I'll just stare here, don't you know that pregnant women are insecure, if you don't go home, your wife still thinks you're having an affair. ”

"I want to go home too, my wife can't do anything with a big belly right now, and every time she calls, she complains that I don't come home to be with her. But now we have reached the most critical stage of research on the "TI" substance, I have to collect experimental data, we have paid too much for this project, if I cause the project to fail, I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life. You go home, Yongnan, you just got married, so come with me on this troubled water, to be honest, I feel very sorry for you. ”

"Look at what you said, Yu Gong is the person in charge of this project, Yu Zhi and we are good friends, how can I go home if you don't go home, from entering this project team, we are grasshoppers on a rope, one is prosperous, one is lost. I'm here with you. ”

"Alright then, thank you. By the time this project is over, my wife is almost about to give birth, and no matter whether my wife gives birth to a son or a daughter, I will let this child recognize you as a godfather, what do you think? ”

"Of course you can, haha."

The two people who are talking are Lin Hua and Su Yongnan, who are known as the "twin stars" of the institute, and they are not only the youngest doctors in the institute, but also the future leaders of the institute.

Just as the two were immersed in joy, something unexpected happened. A buzzing sound from inside the reactor instantly alerted the two of them.

Lin Hua, who was still immersed in the joy of becoming a father in the last second, suddenly widened his eyes when he heard the humming sound coming from the reactor and said, "Yongnan, let's take a look at whether the readings on the dashboard have exceeded the critical point again?" ”

"The dashboard reading has exceeded the critical point, and the "TI" material in the reactor has fissioned again. We failed again this time. ”

Listening to Su Yongnan's answer, Lin Hua lowered his head and said: "This is already the twelfth fusion failure, and what's worse is that all the "TI" in our inventory has been used up, and we can't even carry out basic experiments in the future." ”

Su Yongnan on the side looked at the frustrated Lin Hua and comforted: "It's okay, as long as you are still there and you are not defeated, our project has not failed, and we will go to the director together tomorrow to report the situation." ”

"Hey, that's all for the time being, let's go home and rest, and we'll report to the director when we go to work tomorrow."

After taking off their protective clothing, the two went home after a simple meal.

After returning home, Lin Hua looked at his sleeping wife, and couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in his heart, since taking over this project, he and his wife have gathered less and separated more. Thinking of this, Lin Hua, who was so strong by nature, couldn't help but cry quietly.

Wang Qian, who was awakened by her husband's crying, slowly got up, patted Lin Hua on the shoulder and said, "What's wrong with you?" People who are about to become fathers are still crying, and there is no shame in it. ”

Looking at Wang Qian, who was woken up by herself, Lin Hua said embarrassedly: "I knew that I wouldn't come back if you fell asleep, and I woke you up again." ”

Wang Qianhan smiled: "You will be embarrassed, you yourself said that since we got married, you have been at home for a few days, and every time you come back, it is the middle of the night, I have long been used to it." ”

As he spoke, Lin Hua gently took Wang Qian into his arms and said, "Tomorrow I want to apply to the director to go to a special place." ”

The corners of Wang Qian's eyes were slightly red and said, "Where are you going?" Do you know that if you don't know that I'm about to give birth, you can't bear to leave me alone? ”

Lin Hua felt Wang Qian's grievances, and said gently: "Wife, you should know the importance of my project, one more minute of delay, the country will have more economic losses, this project has invested too many manpower, material and financial resources, I don't want all my efforts to be in vain, I hope you can understand me." ”

At this moment, looking at the high-spirited Lin Hua beside him, Wang Qian said helplessly: "Then you go, I know I can't stop you, but you must pay attention to safety, I don't want our child to be born without a father." ”

Lin Hua touched his wife's head and said, "Don't worry, wife, I will definitely come back alive, anyway, Lin Hua hugged his wife in his arms and fell asleep." ”

Early the next morning, after saying goodbye to his wife, Lin Hua walked quickly to the research institute, and when he was about to arrive at the research institute, Lin Hua saw his friend Su Yongnan standing at the door waiting for him.

"Good morning, Yongnan, why are you here so early."

"Well, let's not talk about this for now, let's go to the director and report the situation."

In the director's office on the third floor of the institute, Lin Feng, who failed the project, is desperately apologizing to the director......

I'm sorry, Zhou, it was because of me that the experiment on the "TI" substance failed many times, and I have failed to live up to your trust and the efforts of my colleagues in the institute.

Looking at the dejected Lin Hua, Zhou Yang comforted: "Silly boy, you have paid so much for this project, I don't blame you, the "TI" substance itself is very unstable, and it is not your problem that our experiments have failed many times. ”

Su Yongnan on the side also comforted: "That's it, Lin Hua, it's not your fault, the "TI" substance itself is a new type of substance, not only us, when I was studying in the UK, my teacher, the world's best physicist Nobel Prize winner Rivers, has not solved this problem, so don't blame yourself anymore." ”

Looking at the two who comforted him, Lin Hua said firmly: "I must overcome this problem." ”

Zhou Yang looked at the determined Lin Hua and said with relief: "That's right, if we are engaged in academic research, how can we continue our research in the future if we are defeated by a few small difficulties, I believe that you will overcome this problem one day." ”

"Zhou, can I make a request?"

"You say, as long as I can do it, I will fully support it."

After getting Zhou Yang's affirmative answer, Lin Hua pleaded and said: "Zhou Institute" I want to go to X County, the "Ti" substance in the laboratory has been used up, I want to take my colleagues from the institute to get some back, I hope you can agree.

Without waiting for Zhou Yang to answer, Su Yongnan said: "Lin Hua", are you crazy, we all know that there is a "Ti" substance in X County, but we have never gone to X County to collect "Ti" substance, I don't believe you don't know what the reason is.

"Yes, Lin Hua, Yongnan is for your own good, I also think it's better for you not to go, we would rather wait a few more days and buy from somewhere else, rather than you take this risk, you just listen to our advice, stay at home honestly, and take care of your wife and children." I will inform you as soon as the Ti material bought from outside is delivered to the institute, and it will not be too late for you to continue your research at that time. ”

"Zhou, Yongnan, I have made up my mind, don't persuade me, of course I know why I can't go to X County to collect the "Ti" substance, I'm not afraid, I already told my wife last night, she is very supportive of me, in case something happens to me, please take care of their orphans and widows in the future. ”

"Okay, I agreed, you can go, but I don't know if other colleagues in the institute are willing to go with you, you can ask yourself, I can't guarantee that someone is willing to go with you."

"Zhou Suo, I am willing to go with Lin Hua, the two of us can also take care of each other, to be honest, I really don't feel at ease when he goes alone."

Looking at the two young people in front of him, Zhou Yang shook his head and said, "Okay, you guys go, I wish you success." ”

"Thanks to Zhou's trust, we will set off in the afternoon."

Lin Hua, who walked out of Zhou Yang's office, said solemnly: "Yongnan, why do you want to accompany me to X County, I know that no one wants to go with me, I am ready to go alone, you are the only child in the family, in case something happens to you, how can I explain to Teacher Su." ”

Su Yongnan said with a smile: "I'm an only child, you're not, you're not afraid of death, I'm not afraid, old man, you don't have to worry, let's just hide from him, I think it's too pitiful for you to go alone, I want to go with you, don't you don't appreciate it." I'll go home and pack my things first, and I'll be waiting for you at the airport at three o'clock in the afternoon. ”

As he spoke, Su Yongnan had already left the institute humming a song.

Looking at the back of Su Yongnan leaving, Lin Hua silently swore in his heart that even if he lost his life, he would definitely let Su Yongnan come back alive.

In the L Provincial International Airport, Su Yongnan stood at the boarding gate and jokingly said: "Lin Hua, I heard that the bacon in X County is very delicious, and you will be responsible for buying it for me when we come back, don't you know, my Li Yao's favorite thing to eat is bacon." ”

"Okay, it's a little thing, it's on me." I brought a few sets of protective suits and a few injections of antidote from the institute, which should be enough for us. Alright, let's sign up.

Lin Hua, who was on the plane, looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window and said silently in his heart: "Wife, child, I will definitely come back safely, you are waiting for me to come back." ”

Lin Hua and Su Yongnan both knew very well in their hearts that the work of searching for "Ti" substances in X County was full of all kinds of unknown dangers. However, in order to successfully complete their project and benefit the public after the completion of the project, they still resolutely chose to go to the lost place.

X County of G Province is located deep in the mountains, and the surrounding mountains are covered with snow all year round, and the mineral deposits are abundant. Unable to tolerate the harsh natural environment and radiation from unknown substances, all the local residents moved out of the county two years ago. At this time, X County was already a veritable empty city, and the "Ti" material they were looking for this time was buried in the permafrost deep in the snow-capped mountains. Since then, County X has been known as the off-limits area of life, the graveyard of scientists.

"I've asked myself countless times if I would stick to my heart if I had to choose again. The answer is yes every time. No matter how many times I am asked to choose, I will always yearn for the faith in my heart. ”

After Lin Hua wrote this sentence in his notebook, he turned his head to look at the sleeping Lin Yongnan and silently read in his heart: "Yongnan, I believe that we will succeed." ”
