Chapter 2 Addiction

Tossing and turning and unable to fall asleep, Zhou Tianyang subconsciously got out of bed, picked up the turned off mobile phone on the desk, called up the picture of the Demon Eye Galaxy, and looked at it again.

The mobile phone screen is of course far worse than the high-definition projector,Many details cannot be displayed,In comparison,The shock is much less。 But it still looks beautiful at the moment.

Zhou Tianyang saw the picture, and the anxiety in his heart was much less, but it still couldn't be completely eliminated.

For no reason, a very strange thought arose in his heart.

"It's not hard enough......"

Just like an old farmer who is accustomed to smoking dry tobacco and smokes fine filter cigarettes, he feels that his addiction has only been solved a little and cannot be completely relieved.

"I've been too tired from work lately."

Zhou Tianyang grunted, turned off his mobile phone again, turned over and fell asleep.

This time I finally managed to fall asleep.

Early the next morning, Zhou Tianyang still had breakfast at the breakfast shop downstairs as before, and then came to the laboratory unhurriedly. After handing over to the students on the night shift and waiting for the day shift students to arrive, I started working again.

The days that followed, like this, passed slowly in a busy way. There are more and more clues, which are parsed from this vast amount of data, and then turned into details that are filled into that ultra-high-definition picture.

And, every day before getting off work, Zhou Tianyang will summarize the day's work and present it through more and more real, more and more gorgeous pictures.

At this time of the day, the entire staff will come to the conference room to enjoy the beauty of the Momonocular Galaxy through a high-definition projector in a dark-light environment.

Even if he has seen it many times, every time the Demon Eye Galaxy appears, it will still cause Zhou Tianyang to be amazed in his heart. Every time he saw it as if it was the first time, from beginning to end, from top to bottom, from left to right, carefully and carefully, he looked at this picture thoroughly little by little, and his eyes always refused to look away for a long time.

In this way, more than half a month passed quietly.

Early in the morning, Zhou Tianyang got up.

His wife is not in good spirits and is still sleeping at the moment, and his eighteen or nineteen-year-old son is also sleeping in another room. Zhou Tianyang didn't disturb his family, washed himself, and left the house directly with his computer bag.

In the breakfast shop downstairs, he still asked for fried dough sticks and tofu brain according to his previous habits, and ate them with a snort.

Zhou Tianyang always feels that this time of day is the moment he enjoys the most.

The tofu brain is spicy and red. The fried fritters are sweet and crispy, and with the boss's own pickled radish sticks, it is a great pleasure to eat in your mouth.

There's no better way to start your day than with energy.

In the past, Zhou Tianyang would always chew slowly and eat carefully, and then he would go to the laboratory leisurely and unhurriedly.

But today, I always seem to have something in my heart, and I don't even have much to enjoy the breakfast that was very good in the past.

After eating in a hurry, Zhou Tianyang hurriedly came to the laboratory.

It's still early, and it's not time to go to work. As for those students of his own, Zhou Tianyang knew very well and knew that they would not come a minute earlier.

After swiping the card in, Zhou Tianyang first saw a few researchers on duty at night who were unkempt and tired, eating breakfast. When I looked at it again, I was surprised to find that the rest of the students had already arrived at the moment, and they were working intensively in front of the computer at the moment.

】

"Why didn't Wang Yue come?"

As soon as this thought came to my mind, there was the sound of hurried footsteps behind me. When he turned around, he saw Wang Yue, whose hair was not messy, walking over.

"Teacher, are you here? So early. …… Hey, what's the situation, the students are here? ”

Zhou Tianyang waved his hand: "Go to work." ”

It was only at this moment that he suddenly realized that since the start of this project, there have been fewer and fewer late arrivals and early departures. Not even once in the last week. Moreover......

More and more people are coming to the lab to start working before they start work. Today, all the staff arrived at least half an hour early.

"Tsk, this can be regarded as a change of character......

Zhou Tianyang was relieved.

He also returned to his office and began to coordinate the analysis and collation of the data.

But I don't know why, today, he always has some unrest in his heart, as if something is missing. There was always an impulse, a thought, to look at the picture of the MONOCULUS galaxy again.

In the past, this feeling was also felt, but today it is even stronger.

Zhou Tianyang controlled himself and forced himself to focus on the work in front of him. During a short break, he walked out of the office and was surprised to see that the students were also a little distracted.

He was furious and reprimanded the students.

By five o'clock in the afternoon, the feeling in my heart was getting stronger, but it was still a full hour before the end of work. looked at the progress of today's work and found that when it was time to wrap up, Zhou Tianyang finally made a decision.

"Everyone has been working hard for so long, let's leave work early today. Wang Yue, come and sort out today's clues with me and fill in the details. The rest of the people went to the conference room and waited. ”

Hearing Zhou Tianyang's words, the students and researchers were all in good spirits, and their originally slightly absent-minded expressions disappeared in an instant.

It took more than ten minutes to complete the picture processing, and Zhou Tianyang and Wang Yue came to the conference room together. The students who were talking about each other immediately closed their mouths. pressed the projection button, and in an instant, the vast and gorgeous picture of the magic eye galaxy appeared in front of people's eyes again.

At this moment, as if he suddenly drank a sip of ice cola under the scorching sun on a hot day, the refreshing feeling burst from his mouth and instantly spread to the whole body, Zhou Tianyang only felt comfortable with his limbs, and the little irritable flame in his heart was instantly extinguished.

"That's enough."

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

After watching it for ten minutes, he turned off the projector and went home in good spirits.

The next day, before he got to the lab, a phone call came to him. He had to change his itinerary and go to another field to attend an academic conference.

The meeting lasted for three days, and he waited for three days. Among them, he asked Wang Yue to send him a picture of the Magic Eye Galaxy with a size of 100m, and then open it on the computer. But the compressed, small-sized picture looks completely boring to him at the moment, and it is not enjoyable at all.

forcibly suppressed the feeling in his heart, and finally waited until the meeting ended, Zhou Tianyang hurried home.

It's already dark by now. I can't go to the lab today.

Lying in bed at night, Zhou Tianyang tossed and turned again, unable to sleep. After a long hesitation, I finally got up and put on my clothes.

In another room, the wife, who was mentally weak and slept very lightly, also came out.

"Lao Zhou, it's a big night, where are you going?"

She complained a little.

Zhou Tianyang said sullenly: "I'll go to the laboratory, it's a bit urgent." You sleep first and leave me alone. ”

"Okay."

The wife was dumbfounded: "Why are you so busy, you have to go overnight when you come back from a business trip." ”

Zhou Tianyang ignored her and drove directly to the laboratory. After swiping the card to enter, I saw that there was no one in the laboratory.

There was some anger in his heart.

Obviously arranged for someone to be on duty at night, why is there no one! I haven't seen you for a few days, how did my work attitude become like this!

I wanted to call someone, but after thinking about it, I decided to go to the conference room first, looked at the pictures, and relieved my addiction.

He hurried to the conference room and pushed the door open. There's some light in there. He raised his head, and his heart beat wildly in an instant, and his whole body froze there.

At this moment, his mouth was dry, his ears could not hear, and his mouth could not speak.

He saw that the small conference room was now full of people, like in a movie theater. The projector projected an ultra-high-definition image of the Magic Eye Galaxy, and his students, who were supposed to be resting at home or on duty for the night, were now sitting in their seats, looking at the pictures on the projection screen with solemn facesβ€”or sluggish.

There were twenty-seven in all, no less than one, and all of them sat here.

The students didn't say a word, they couldn't even hear their breathing. No one moved, no one moved. A mixture of dark red, cyan, and white reflected on the students' faces from the curtain, making them look less like living people, but like ghosts in some horror movies, sitting in a movie theater.

At this moment, perhaps because they were disturbed by the sound of pushing the door, or because the light coming from outside the door interfered with the picture quality of the screen projection, the twenty-seven students turned their heads together and looked at Zhou Tianyang who was standing at the door.

Zhou Tianyang's heart was still beating wildly. Seeing Zhou Tianyang's figure, the students seemed to have come back to their senses, and the conference room seemed to finally have a little living breath and some movement.

"Teacher ......"

"Boss ......"

The students greeted each other nervously. Wang Yue turned on the headlights.

In an instant, light enveloped the entire room, and a little strange aura from before immediately dissipated.

Zhou Tianyang's heart finally calmed down a little, and then he was full of anger after being annoyed.

"What are you doing! Do! Big night, hiding here to look at pictures? Who's on duty tonight? ”

Several students stood up in trepidation.

"Get out of here! And you guys, don't go home and sleep what are you doing here! Not going to work tomorrow?! Get home and go to bed! ”

Zhou Tianyang was furious, and the students were silent one by one. In a matter of moments, the conference room was completely empty.

After driving away the students, he was still angry. When he walked over, he just wanted to turn off the projection, but Zhou Tianyang himself was unconsciously attracted by the beautiful picture scroll on the curtain, as if the sky full of stars was really presented in front of him.

"It's so beautiful......"

He couldn't help but sigh.

Before this galaxy scroll, the feeling of the past three days like a hundred claws scratching the heart quickly dissolved. It's like a drug addict has gotten it, like a gambler sitting at a card table, like a starving ghost with a full table of people, like a miser coming to his vault......

He unconsciously closed the door, turned off the light, and then sat down in his seat and looked at it stupidly.

By the time he finally woke up, an hour had passed. He looked around and saw that at some point, several more students had come in and huddled in the corner to watch with him.

At this moment, a chill finally appeared in his heart.

Even the dullest person finally noticed something at this moment.

This is not normal. Abnormal.

He stood up abruptly, turned on the light, and turned off the projector. The students immediately woke up.

"Why are you back again? Come back and do what! ”

Facing the angry Zhou Tianyang, several students trembled, and one female student couldn't help crying.

"Teacher, I don't know what's going on, I, I can't control myself......"

She sobbed and said intermittently: "I don't know why, I just want to see it, but I can't control it, teacher, teacher, are we all sick?" Woowoowoo......"

That little chill in my heart turned into fear at this moment.

What's going on here? What the hell is going on here? ……

Looking at the other students, the rest of them were also full of horror, dazed and helpless.

Clearly, they also sensed that this was not normal.

Faced with the frightened eyes of the students, Zhou Tianyang forced himself to calm down, and also tried to make his tone gentler.

"You've been looking at this in the conference room all this time?"

"Nope." One student shook his head vigorously: "In the beginning, I just watched it when I got off work. But I don't know why, I always think in my heart, so I just stay in the laboratory and work overtime, and take time to watch at night. But the more I watched, the more I wanted to see it, and later, later, everyone came here to see it......"

The female student choked up again, "Teacher, this is not normal." We don't know why we want to see it this way, if there is some magic in this picture...... What the hell is going on! ”

Zhou Tianyang tried to calm his thoughts: "Other students shouldn't have gone far yet. Call them all back. ”

"Yes."

Just five minutes later, the students who had been forcibly evicted returned again. One no less.

Zhou Tianyang knew that they should not have gone far at all before, and had been waiting at the door.

At this moment, all the people in the laboratory are gathered here, counting Zhou Tianyang, there are a total of twenty-eight people, no less than one.

One by one, the students were distracted and panicked.

Zhou Tianyang sighed secretly in his heart and said gently: "Everyone knows about the recent events.

Recently, there has been a lot of work, and everyone is very busy and tired. It's been a long time, look at the star chart, relax your mood, it's normal, it's not a big deal. After all, philosophers have said that the most sublime thing is the starry sky and morality, right? ”

Reluctantly told a bad joke, and the students reluctantly laughed twice, and the atmosphere finally eased a little.

"You don't have to think about it. To be honest, this photo of the CSK-9602 galaxy is really beautiful, even I want to see it, is this normal?

In this way, everyone has been busy for a long time. Starting tomorrow, I'm going to give you three days off. Everyone goes out for a walk, relaxes and relaxes, goes home to find their mother, falls in love when they should fall in love, and comes back to work after three days.

Don't stay here, go back quickly, and disperse. ”

The decision was announced, and the students left with their heads bowed. Zhou Tianyang told one by one: "Don't be nervous, it's okay, take it easy......"
