At the beginning of the new era, the plains were covered with dense forests, and then the singularity rose and burned forests to open up farmland, and gradually there were stable settlements in the east.

Trois-Rivières is the largest.

Thick chimneys spewed red mist, and a four-wheeled car emerged from Trois-Rivières, muscle tires crushing over a smooth dirt road and into a river valley.

The car stopped, the mechanic holding his heart to the car, and the throbbing engine went completely quiet in a few breaths.

Someone came and opened the back door, and a man with an unusually high hairline came out.

The man's footsteps fell to the ground with a heavy, muffled sound.

"Dean!" People around salute.

The man stretched out a metal hand and waved it forward.

Martial law had already been imposed at the bottom of the valley, and just in front of it, there were semi-underground bunkers made of sandbags and wood, and many people were gathering.

Seeing people with extremely high hairlines, these people saluted one after another.

"How's the preparations, Shirozen?" The dean asked.

"Ready." A middle-aged man named Bai Qian is an elegant middle-aged man: "You can start at any time." ”

The dean looked into the distance and could see a flag planted on the ground, and said, "Then let's begin." ”

"Yes!" Bai Qian responded and said to the ordinary-looking middle-aged man next to him: "Researcher Yang Mingqiang, please be my deputy, if I fail to ignite, you will pick it up." ”

Yang Mingqiang said solemnly: "I am ready. ”

Bai Qian commanded, and a soldier wearing a singularity leather coat raised a red flag and shook it vigorously.

Nearby, a sharp whistle sounded, and someone shouted: "Three minutes countdown to the experiment!" Clear! Clear! All immediately retreat to safety! Everyone immediately retreats to a safe area! ”

Shirazen took out his brass pocket watch and watched the hands on it move, and the time of three minutes passed in a flash.

He buckled up his pocket watch and put it away, and gave a command to the person next to him, and the sharp and short whistle sounded three times in succession.

Dean Duke stared ahead, as the director of the Singularity Institute, he knew that this could be an invention that changed the whole world.

Yang Mingqiang accompanied Bai Qian to the ignition place, and the fuse, which soaked into red, stretched out through the preset opening of the bunker.

Bai Qian was a little nervous, and his hands trembled slightly.

Yang Mingqiang encouraged him: "Lao Bai, steady!" ”

Bai Qian smiled reluctantly, strode forward, and pulled the fuse.

The red mist came out, and in an instant, it turned into sparks, burning all the way along the fuse, and after getting out of the bunker, it was no longer red mist, but white smoke!

Boom –

An earth-shattering explosion sounded, the ground shook, and the flags planted in the distance had already been torn into countless pieces by the explosion, and a cloud mixed with fire rose into the sky and gradually turned into a mushroom shape.

"It worked!" Yang Mingqiang was very excited, and hugged Bai Qian: "Lao Bai, you have succeeded!" ”

Bai Qian's eyes were red, and there were faint tears flickering, but he kept chanting: "Success, success, I succeeded......"

Since more than ten years ago, he has been researching related projects, and the progress has been slow, and the research results obtained are not of high practical application value in the face of blood energy technology, and have been criticized by many colleagues and leaders, and even almost swept away by the research institute.

Now, ironclad facts have proved that he insisted on the right direction of research!

Bai Qian finally came back to his senses and hugged Yang Mingqiang: "Old Yang, thank you!" Without your encouragement and support, I couldn't have persevered in the past two years. ”

Yang Mingqiang smiled: "How many years of friends do we still talk about this?" Lao Bai, congratulations! ”

This explosion experiment verified the non-blood energy technology theory proposed by Bai Qian, but the road ahead is still not easy.

Because this is not the same path as Singularity's mainstream blood energy technology at all!

Dean Duke stood there, looking at the mushroom garden vacated in the distance, motionless as a mountain.

The world is about to change.

As the director of the Singularity Research Institute, Duke still has this vision, and Bai Qian almost didn't use blood and source crystals, so he used some ordinary materials to create an explosion that was no less than consuming a large amount of source crystals and blood.

The raw materials are not complicated, and the singularity may have one more weapon!

But once I thought about it, once these circulated, they could pose a huge threat to the singularity.

This is not a complex blood energy technology after all.

Duke nodded before the dialogue: "Old Bai, you did a good job." ”

Bai Qian just smirked, and when Yang Mingqiang pushed him from behind, he realized: "It's all the dean, you are the leader." ”

Duke gave an order to the adjutant next to him: "Issue a gag order, no one is allowed to divulge the content of this experiment, and violators will be severely punished!" ”

The adjutant responded: "Yes!" ”

Duke looked at Bai Qian and Yang Guoqiang: "You are all old researchers who have joined the research institute for more than ten years, so I won't say more about discipline." ”

Yang Mingqiang immediately said: "Strictly confidential!" ”

Shirazen hurried to follow.

Duke moved his feet and walked towards the car, and the explosion shook the loose pavement, leaving deep footprints one after another.

After collecting various experimental data, Bai Qian and Yang Mingqiang also returned to Sanhe City by car, and the follow-up finishing work was specially taken care of by the Einsatzgruppen.

Back in the lab, Yang Mingqiang assisted Bai Qian in recording data.

After finishing this, the two sat in the laboratory and chatted, Bai Qian said: "I am conducting another experiment, most of the guns of the last era were powered by steam, and the steam stove is more inconvenient to carry than the blood canister, and the sealing required is also high. If today's experimental object is used instead of steam as the power to fire bullets, Lao Yang, do you think it is feasible? ”

"You can try." Yang Mingqiang's professional ability is not as good as Bai Qian.

The two had a heated discussion and did not leave until the end of the day.

Back at home, Yang Mingqiang entered the study, found a blank piece of paper, cut his fingers with his fingernails, squeezed out the blood, and wrote on the paper.

After a while, a faint red handwriting appeared on the white paper: "Pay close attention, I will send half a person to Three Rivers City as soon as possible!"

In another house, not far away, the basement was lit with candles, and a man in singularity overalls stood on an altar held up by a twisted branch, holding a golden branch and chanting a word.

Singularity Research Institute, a mouse burrowed into a hole in the ground, and as soon as he came out of the other side of the wall, he was caught by a dog waiting.

In the central area of Trois-Rivières, the inhabitants are either rich or expensive, resulting in the existence of such a strange existence as stray dogs in this big city with countless hunger and cold.

In a nearby clubhouse, the golden head is battling with one of the leaders of the Einsatzgruppen.

In the evening of the same day, a letter engraved with the mark of the fist was sent to the Holy City through a special passage.

The Singularity Research Institute is surrounded by tall walls, and barbed wire and dense sentinels are drawn up on the walls to prevent outsiders from entering.

But the strongest fortress is never breached from the outside.

…………

On the wilderness, a mule and four horses, dragging three people and a large pile of luggage, all the way to the depths of the wilderness.

The shadow man led the way in the front, Zhuo Cheng followed half a horse behind, and Toba rode a horse and led two horses carrying Li and followed behind.

It's been five days since I entered the wilderness, and since this morning, the sky has suddenly become cloudy, obscuring the sky.

The filmmaker kept changing the direction of his progress, and Zhuo Cheng couldn't say what was going on, and he lost his way as he walked.

It is no longer possible to distinguish between east and west, north and south.

Zhuo Cheng has always been a frank confidant who has something to say in front of the filmmaker, and immediately said: "Sacrificial wine, I fell in." ”

The shadow man didn't reply: "Follow me." ”

Zhuo Cheng understood that it was not he who fell, but the surrounding environment that made him lose his way.

I couldn't help but look up at the sky and found that the clouds were a little red, like pink clouds.

Toba drove the horses to walk a few steps briskly, keeping up with Zhuo Cheng, and asked suspiciously, "Auxiliary priest?" ”

Zhuo Cheng only said: "Don't ask more, follow along." ”

The clouds in the sky are fluttering, and the people on the earth do not know the direction.

After another day of walking, the direction kept changing, and Zhuo Cheng secretly used a lot of methods to identify the direction in the 2020s, but all of them had no effect.

He guessed that the clouds in the sky and the surrounding environment were most likely not real, but artificially created.

The purpose is to disturb people's sense of orientation.

Half a day passed, and the group left the wasteland and entered the rolling hills.

Here, the trees are densely populated and still verdant in the cold winter months.

"Don't mess around." The filmmaker said to Zhuo Cheng.

Zhuo Cheng restrained his curiosity, knowing that what he saw was not necessarily true.

The Flying Goat had experienced a rebellion, and after the relocation of the General Altar, it was difficult for outsiders to find its place except for the high-ranking priests.

The clouds in the sky became more and more red, and Zhuo Cheng looked up from time to time and found that it had changed from light red to flesh red, just like the color of fresh meat.

In the woods, suddenly a voice sounded.

"Bah...... Baa...... Baa ......"

It screams like a sheep, but it sings like a dolphin!
