The 2018 Summer Graduation Ceremony was arguably the most star-studded moment in the history of the school, with many names and photos printed on the first page of the alumni directory in the future, and even portraits hung in the Hall of Fame in the corridor.

But now they are still nobodies.

At this moment, the "chosen ones" of these times, some are standing on the stage, and some are standing off-stage.

But at the moment, everyone knows nothing about the future, everyone thinks that the summer of 2018 is just an extraordinary summer, and they are not aware that this summer is brewing a huge change related to the fate of the entire human race.

The period from 2017 to 2018 is a crucial time node in human history.

The date of the birth of Homo sapiens has been advanced by another 100,000 years; scientists have discovered a mysterious void in the Great Pyramid of Khufu; mankind has successfully changed the DNA in human embryos using gene editing technology CRISPR-Cas9 for the first time; the artificial womb experiment has been successful; quantum communication technology has achieved a major breakthrough; the curtain of modular quantum computer networks is gradually being opened; AI has defeated humans in the game of Go; the Huaxia Qimen Neutrino Laboratory is about to be completed, and plans to build a large hadron collider.....

China's scientific research has shifted to basic science in an all-round way, and scientific research in the United States has shifted to biological science in an all-round way.

Whether this is a tacit understanding or a bet, no one knows at this time.

For Changya's students, although these are closely related to the fate of every human being, they are not things they can care about.

At this moment, the only thing they care about is their final exam results.....

In addition, what they care about is the final exam results of Cheng Mo and Shen Mengjie.

and suddenly, Du Leng, the former student president of Changya, confessed in front of all the teachers and students of the school whether Xie Minyun could succeed.

In fact, Du Leng originally did not plan to confess at the graduation ceremony, because he knew that he would be rejected nine times out of ten, but an incident happened this morning that changed his decision......

——————

July 1.

Morning.

When Du Leng woke up from his intermittent sleep, he felt that he was even more nervous today than the moment the college entrance examination results came out. There is no doubt that today is the most important day of his life for him.

After sitting on the bed for a while, Du Leng got off the bed, went into the bathroom to take a bath, and after the shower, he blew his hair in the mirror, but he was a little absent-minded, and looked at the time and text messages of his mobile phone again and again.

What he cares about is not today's graduation ceremony, not even the biggest gamble in Changya's history this time.

Du Leng was waiting for a piece of information.

A message that is crucial to him.

According to his father's instructions, Du Leng worked hard in Changya for three years, controlling the learning point, just for today, in fact, only a few people know that the learning point system involves another set of evaluation system.

As for why this evaluation system is set up, no one knows, and Du Leng doesn't know.

But his father told him that through this evaluation system combined with college entrance examination results, political surveys and physical fitness tests, he could enter a special sequence, what kind of sequence, his father Du Jun did not tell him.

Therefore, Du Leng didn't know what it meant to enter this sequence, but he knew how much family resources his father had consumed in order for him to enter this sequence.

Du Leng felt that he had never been so nervous in his life, because his father, who had always been steady, had not slept well in the past two days, and he didn't even go to the company, just waiting for him to pass the news, which made Du Leng feel very stressed, until 8 o'clock, Du Leng received a message, "Your assessment notice is already being delivered, and it is expected to arrive before nine o'clock." ”

Finally received the news, the stone in Du Leng's heart did not fall to the ground, but because he was about to know the result, he jumped more violently, he ran to his father's study in a panic, the room was full of smoke, his father Du Jun stayed awake all night, his eyes were swollen into fish bubbles, the cigarette butts in the ashtray were piled up, and the messy hair was shiny.

Seeing Du Leng coming in, Du Jun hurriedly stood up on the table and said, "Is there a letter?"

"The assessment notice is being delivered, and I can get to ..... before nine o'clock," Du Leng said excitedly with his mobile phone.

Du Jun patted the cigarette ash that fell on his body, and moved his slightly bloated body out from behind the desk, "Let's go, let's go to the door and wait!"

Du Leng has never seen his father so impatient since he was a child, in his heart, his father has always been a calm person when facing major events, even if the company went public many years ago, his father can still eat, drink and have fun, not worried at all, so you can know how strong his father's heart is.

But today, my father obviously stretched his nerves to the limit.....

Seeing his father's expression, Du Leng's heart became more and more bumpy and curious, and he followed Du Jun downstairs.

The sun was already very strong at eight o'clock, and there were workers with straw hats sprinkling water on the lawn outside the living room, and the sparkling water droplets were shining like diamonds in the sun, and the maid who was wiping the table saw that the Du family's father and son had come down, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Master, young master, good morning.....

Both father and son squeezed out a similar smile slightly, and replied "Good morning", and the maid said, "I'll go and see if Mama Zhang has made breakfast." ”

Du Jun hurriedly said, "Don't worry", and led Du Leng to the gate of the mansion.

"Dad, now can you tell me, what's the use of passing this assessment, right?" Du Leng couldn't help but ask again.

"If we want our Du family to become a family, someone in our family must pass this assessment.... If you can't do it this year, you can only wait two years for Du Hong to give it a try. Du Jun walked towards the black carved gate with his hands behind his back.

This answer was too ethereal, the same as not answering, so that Du Leng still felt that he was in a cloud and mountain fog, but he didn't continue to ask, he guessed that his father didn't know much, if his father really knew the details, he should tell him more.

The two walked to the doorman at the gate of the villa and asked if there was any letter, the doorman who was napping was startled, and when he saw that the old man and the young master were there, he immediately stood up in fright, looked for a long time on the table in a panic, and thought for a while before saying: "It seems that there is not...."

Du Jun and Du Leng didn't stop much in the narrow gatehouse, and walked out and stood under the shade of the laurel tree next to the gate and watched the road outside the door.

Neither father nor son spoke, just waited quietly, time in the air like glue about to solidify, completely unable to flow, every second seemed extremely hot and long, until a green east wind warrior appeared in their field of vision like a gust of wind.....

The warrior stopped steadily at the black carved gate, and then Du Leng's mobile phone rang, it is very likely that this car is here to deliver the letter, Du Leng pressed the answer, and hurriedly walked out of the door, and at the same time replied "Hey!"

"Du Leng?"

"Yes. ”

"Your notice has arrived, please come to the door and pick it up. ”

Du Leng walked quickly to the green warrior and said, "I'm .....", and Du Jun also rushed over out of breath.

At this time, a tall man wearing a black special service uniform came down from the co-pilot, in the hot weather, he was still wearing a uniform that did not look light, he looked at Du Leng who was holding a mobile phone and asked, "Du Leng, right?

Du Leng didn't expect to ask for an ID card, so he hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, wait", and immediately ran back to the room to get it.

Du Jun, who was sweating profusely, smiled and invited a tall man with a serious face to come into the house to sit and have a cup of tea, but was rejected expressionlessly, and then Du Jun smoked and handed water, but the other party did not accept it.

When Du Leng took the ID card, the tall man took it, glanced at the ID card, looked at Du Leng carefully, handed him a brown paper envelope sandwiched under his armpit, changed the ID card to him, and said, "It's okay." He got into the car without looking back, and then the warrior left the gate of the Du family mansion at a gallop.

Du Leng watched the warrior go away, looked down at the envelope, in addition to his name written on the front, the lower right corner was also printed with red "749 Research Institute", Du Leng had never heard of the name "749 Research Institute", and after a while, he heard his father say urgently: "Open it quickly.... Take it apart. ”

Du Leng tore open the envelope and took out a page of delicate blue letterhead, "Dear Mr. Du Leng: After the recommendation of your school, I have obtained your detailed information, after carefully evaluating your comprehensive conditions, we believe that you are qualified to become a probationary member of the 749 Research Institute, please deposit 100 million yuan into the Huaxia Bank Account: XXXXXXXXXXX within 24 hours, and follow the arrangement, please fill in the first choice of the college entrance examination volunteer form: Tsinghua University, Department of Mechanics."

After paying the membership fee, we will arrange for a specialist to contact you for a summer camp. ”

The last inscription is "Huaxia 749 Research Institute", there is a seal on the inscription, this seal is not the same as the general red seal, but two black and white Chinese dragons, the head and tail are connected to each other into a ring, there is a white spot on the head of the black dragon, and there is a black spot on the white dragon's head, like the Taiji Yin and Yang fish pattern, the two dragons are lifelike, as if they are painted.

Du Leng looked confused, the excitement and expectation in his heart all turned into disappointment, the content of this letter looked like the kind of low-end scam of: "I, Qin Shihuang, playing money", Du Leng was full of questions, could it be that his father was deceived? He subconsciously said: "This is too fake!" Then when he turned to look at his father, he found that his father was staring at the seal with tears in his eyes.

Du Leng was a little confused, "Dad, you ....."

Du Jun took the letter with one hand, "I'll take a look." After carefully reading this simple letter, he breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and rubbed his eyes, patted Du Leng's shoulder and said, "Congratulations, Xiao Leng.... I'll transfer the money in the afternoon. ”

Du Leng hesitated for a moment and said, "Dad.... This.... It can't be a scam, right?"

Du Jun shook his head, "It is impossible for ordinary people in the 749 Research Institute to know about it, and even fewer people know about the Ouroboros badge....."

Du Leng glanced at the Shuanglong seal on the blue letterhead, "749 Research Institute?"

Du Jun whispered: "Actually, I don't know much, this is an opportunity that I have been loyal to the white glove for so many years, from the old leader, I only know that the 749 Research Institute is the most mysterious institution in my country, and the level of secrecy is higher than the 507 established by Qian Xuesen, if you can pass the assessment of the 749 Research Institute, you can get the power that can be inherited, as for what kind of power, the old leader didn't say, he just made a gesture." ”

Then Du Leng saw his father, raised his index finger, and pointed to the sky.....

——————

Du Leng took the envelope and stationery back to the room, searched the 749 Institute on the Internet, and did not find any useful information, but searched for 507, and got a lot of information.

The so-called "507 Institute", that is, the abbreviation of "Huaxia RMJFJ No. 507 Research Institute", was established in April 1968, the full name is "Institute of Aerospace Medicine and Engineering", and later renamed "Huaxia Institute of Aerospace Medical Engineering", which belongs to the "Huaxia RMJFJ Fifth Research Institute" (i.e., "Huaxia Institute of Space Technology") headed by Qian Xuesen.

In the overall plan for the development of spacecraft, the 507 Institute is responsible for the comprehensive research of aerospace medicine, as well as the selection, training and training of astronauts. The focus of the work of the 507 Institute shifted to "human science", which can be traced back to the early 80s at the latest.

In 1987, the "Chinese Society of Human Sciences" approved by the National Defense Science and Technology Commission was also affiliated to the 507 Institute, with Zhang Zhenhuan, director of the National Defense Science and Technology Commission, as the chairman and Qian Xuesen as the honorary chairman.

Du Leng read the letter again, no matter how he looked at it, he felt a little incredible, he flipped through the envelope again, and found that there was a badge inside, and when he poured it out, it was a hollow black and white double dragon badge that was exactly the same as the seal on the letterhead, I don't know what material it was made of, it was very delicate and beautiful.

Du Leng flipped over and over the badge and looked at it, and found that there was a web address engraved in the groove, he immediately typed this URL on the computer, and then a video popped up, and after clicking play, it was a clip like a Hollywood special effects blockbuster that made him a little dumbfounded, he never thought that Huaxia's special effects blockbuster had such a high production level.

The video shows a woman with huge metal wings standing on top of a tower-like mountain, fighting an angel, but the camera does not look like a movie shot, like a fixed shot, making people feel like they are looking through the window, looking at the figures of two "people".

This sense of realism is just too strong.

The woman with metal wings was covered in ivory skin, the lines of her outline were distinct black lines, silver wings glittered in the dark, and behind her was a terrifying fiery red eye, somewhat similar to the Eye of Sauron in "The Lord of the Rings".

She flew in the air, accompanied by a constant stream of lightning to the angel opposite, but the angel appeared and disappeared in the void.

The effect of the video is not particularly good, Du Leng wants to squint his eyes and try to watch, the electric light continues to burst out from the hands of the metal woman, more and more, and then fills the entire space, so that the angel has nowhere to hide, the electric light jumps and splashes around, densely woven into a net, binding the angel, the metal woman holds a long sword and flies straight to the center of the sky, straight into the sky, blending with the sky.

Then he jumped down, slashing at the angel with his sword, and the sword carried a blue light that slanted down, like a waterfall that flowed straight down, and poured his head on the angel's body....

Then the camera suddenly zoomed forward, and Du Leng saw the ring-shaped double dragon logo inlaid on the ivory-like shell-like skin on the metal woman's chest, which was exactly the same as the badge.

Du Leng was taken aback, and wanted to watch it carefully, but the video was gone, and he retyped the website, but he couldn't find the video anymore....

He remembered what his father had told him, stared blankly at the computer, and muttered, "Power..... A power from above?"

Such an incredible idea made Du Leng shiver in the hot day of July, he felt as if his world was about to be turned upside down, he looked at the badge again and again, and found nothing else special, so he pinned the badge to the pocket of his shirt.

Du Leng's heart was beating like thunder, and he began to think, what if the video was real..... So.....

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Du Leng's heart, and he remembered that he seemed to have seen this badge somewhere, Yan Yitong's genius brother Yan Funing, as if he had worn it.

Du Leng was short of breath and his heart was agitated, perhaps, all this is really true!

At this time, the mobile phone rang a few times, Du Leng glanced at it, a message came in, Yu Junshan sent a message to tell him that he had confirmed that Cheng Mo had scored zero in the test, and asked him what to do next?

Du Leng replied: "Come as planned." Without further asking, he had no interest in the game.

On the contrary, he was full of confidence in confessing to Xie Minyun......
