Chapter 43: Oppression
Shu Changshan, who was haggard and had dry and gray hair, was pushed out of the ward, and several people worked together to push him into the helicopter cabin.
After fixing, the helicopter roared and took off, heading in the direction of the Nanli Laser Research Institute.
It didn't land, but hovered around the area.
Undoubtedly, from the air, it is the best vantage point to check whether the projection on the cliff is acceptable.
He Wei was on the helicopter with several guards and paramedics carrying first-aid facilities and medicines, accompanying Shu Changshan to ensure that any emergency could be dealt with immediately.
A temporary field hospital was specially placed in a place less than a five-minute flight away from the helicopter, with only one purpose, which was also to provide emergency treatment for Shu Changshan.
In any case, at this most important moment, Shu Changshan must not have an accident.
His significance is well known to everyone in the know.
"I'm in place."
At this moment, here at the Nanli Laser Research Institute, after Lu Ming received He Wei's report, he nodded to Zhang Dingshan.
Zhang Dingshan turned around and looked at the array of laser projectors of different heights and staggered behind him.
Each of them is the size of a large box, and each one has a thick cable attached to it. Hundreds of staff members were busy shuttling around, checking their status one last time.
Because the picture that needs to be projected is too large, it is impossible for a single projector to complete it, so you can only choose this way, and it can be completed by the combined force of the previous projector. When projecting, each projector will only project a small part of the picture, and thousands of pictures are pieced together to form the final magic eye image.
This requires a high level of precision, angles, and more. Even, as long as the projection angle of one of the projectors deviates by even one thousandth of a degree, after being magnified by several kilometers, it will cause a serious deviation in the picture, which will eventually affect the overall effect.
It is obviously an extremely difficult task to ensure that the images projected by these thousands of projectors are perfectly pieced together into the final picture.
Fortunately, the projection team's staff can accurately control them through high-precision steering rudder and electronic systems, which can be regarded as solving this most difficult problem. But even so, people don't dare to take it lightly.
"Phalanx 1 is ready."
"Phalanx 2 is ready."
"Number 3 ......"
"Number Four ......"
"The electronic control system is ready."
"The energy system is ready!"
The dozens of subsystems that make up this projection system have finally completed the final check. When the final result was reported to Zhang Dingshan, he looked at Lu Ming.
"Go ahead."
Lu Ming was silent, walked to the main console, took out a USB flash drive and plugged it into the computer.
The USB flash drive contains a high-precision image of the CSK-9602 galaxy.
Prior to this, out of the need for confidentiality, the entire projection team, including the staff of the Nanli Laser Research Institute, did not know what the picture they were going to project in the end, and they also did not know why they did it and what the meaning of it was.
They just received the task issued by the second team of action, and then simply completed the requirements, and everything else had nothing to do with them.
It wasn't until this moment that they finally knew that what these thousands of projectors needed to project turned out to be just a star map.
This star map is a high-definition image that Lu Ming specially contacted the Yuanwang Space Telescope base and obtained from them.
This space telescope has been in service for about six years, and its performance ranks in the middle of the range among space telescopes possessed by human civilization. Practical verification has proved that the image of the CSK-9602 galaxy taken by this telescope does not cause mutation at all.
Because these pictures have been published on the whole network several years ago, anyone can download and view, but there has never been any mutation incident.
As for the clearest images taken by the Mercury space telescope, they are still in the tightest phase of lockdown. No one is to view or copy unless authorized by Operation Team 2 and the Planetary Security Agency.
In this way, the star map, which could not cause mutation in the first place, coupled with the reduction in accuracy of the projection, does not need to consider the risk that this experiment may cause an unpredictable crisis.
This is the true embodiment of the attitude of the second action team to Shu Changshan's "listen to his words and watch his deeds, and not fully believe".
We can do what you ask, but these things must be carried out only after eliminating possible risks.
In this way, even if Shu Changshan is really undercover, it will not cause any unacceptable consequences to his side.
The picture stored in Lu Ming's USB flash drive is very large, a few g in size. After a few moments of copying, the staff imported it into the projection program and automatically began to process it.
It took a few minutes. After that, it was divided into thousands of copies and transmitted to different projectors according to different numbers.
The electronic chip of the projector also immediately began to work, adjusting the hardware according to different picture data, and was ready to turn these data into optical signals and project them.
"Done."
A person in charge of the projection project reported the results to Lu Ming. Lu Ming nodded and looked at Zhang Dingshan.
Zhang Dingshan's expression was still calm.
"Let's go!"
"Yes, let's go!"
The person in charge pressed the start button. Immediately, a huge amount of energy was transmitted to each projector through the cable, and the excited laser light gushed out of the outlet like a flood of different colors and intensities, passing forward at the speed of light.
Under the dim sky, in front of the projector array, thousands of pillars of light of different colors immediately appeared. But these pillars of light did not extend too far and could not be seen with the naked eye after about a hundred meters away from the array.
Lu Ming knew that this was because the air in Nanli Mountain was purer and there was less particulate matter.
The reason why people can see the pillar of light is because the tiny particles in the air reflect the light. If there is less particulate matter and there is not enough reflection, then it is naturally not visible.
Invisible light stretched forward, casting a standard straight line onto the cliff face several kilometers away. At this moment, a huge eye suddenly appeared.
This cliff wall is clearly not up to standard as a curtain. Its surface is not flat, but uneven, and the angle is not the standard 90 degrees, but is often distorted. Especially since there is still a gentle slope below the cliff, not even a cliff.
As a result, the image projected onto it is extremely rough and cannot be viewed closely. But at this moment, for He Wei, who is in the air about two kilometers away from here, from the overall point of view, this scene is still extremely shocking.
】
At this moment, it was as if the entire mountain had turned into a monster. It hibernates on the earth, its body with no end in sight, only raising its huge head, revealing one eye, silently staring at the world in front of it.
At this moment, He Wei's heart was quietly raised, and her body tensed slightly, like a leopard full of strength.
Lu Ming has always been worried about whether the overly large size will cause unpredictable risks, and the answer to this question will soon appear.
She looked at Shu Changshan, and saw that Shu Changshan's expression was extremely solemn, so solemn that he was even a little stiff. His body trembled slightly, and his previously dull eyes were extremely sharp at this moment.
Well, Shu Changshan is bound to have some reactions, which is very reasonable and does not need to be paid too much attention to.
She looked at the guards and paramedics around her again, and saw that their faces were full of shock, staring intently at the huge eyes.
Suddenly seeing such a shocking picture, it is normal to have this reaction.
He Wei quietly observed them, and found that there was no further change, and his heart was slightly lowered.
At this moment, Nanli Laser Research Institute, projector array, Zhang Dingshan and Lu Ming are also closely observing the hundreds of technicians, logistics support personnel and security team members present.
The people here can also see that eye directly.
Ever since that eye appeared, it was as if everything had been paused. Everyone stood there quietly, looking at the "eye" that seemed to have some kind of magical power in the distance, feeling its vastness and mystery, and their hearts were all taken away by it.
But...... It's just a shock, nothing else.
Lu Ming's heart also lowered slightly.
In order to ensure safety, in addition to choosing the picture of the Yuanwang space telescope instead of Mercury, and reducing the accuracy through the substandard "curtain", Lu Ming also deliberately put the time of this test in the evening, not late at night.
During the day, the light is too strong for the projector to display the picture at all. At night, all distractions are lost, and Lu Ming is afraid that the projector picture is too clear.
Put it in the evening, it is neither dark nor bright, just right.
The institute was quiet. It took dozens of seconds for a person to sigh.
"It's spectacular."
With this emotion, it was like a switch being pressed, and the venue instantly regained its vitality.
"Units check!"
"Yes! Phalanx No. 1 is normal! The energy supply is normal! The equipment is working properly! ”
"The energy load is normal! The interface is normal! ”
“…… Normal! ”
Everything was normal, and there was not the slightest surprise.
The hard work of hundreds of technicians over the past few days has clearly shown the results at this moment.
Next, it's up to Shu Changshan.
At this moment, in the helicopter, Shu Changshan was still staring at this huge eye, motionless.
He Wei resisted the desire to ask him out loud and continued to wait patiently.
Suddenly, Shu Changshan's face became flushed, and his face began to distort a little. He Wei straightened up, holding the pistol on her waist with one hand, her face full of solemnity and concern.
She stopped the medical staff who wanted to come forward to check on them, and just asked, "Mr. Shu, what's wrong with you?" ”
Shu Changshan coughed violently, coughing and coughing, and suddenly with a wow, he spit out a mouthful of blood. The next moment he was languishing, and his body collapsed weakly in his wheelchair.
"Mr. Shu? Mr. Shu? ”
The medical staff wanted to step forward, but saw Shu Changshan waving his hand weakly, indicating that he was fine. But his eyes never opened, and he didn't make any other movements.
"He Wei, what's wrong with Mr. Shu? What happened? ”
"Homecoming! Back to base! ”
He Wei first ordered, and then said in a deep voice: "Mr. Shu vomited blood just now, and the situation is unknown at the moment." I'll return to base first. ”
"Okay."
Zhang Dingshan responded, and said to the team leader: "The test is over." You overhaul the equipment first. ”
"Yes."
After that, Zhang Dingshan and Lu Ming also hurriedly boarded the helicopter and hurried to the base.
"I hope he's okay, I hope there won't be any more twists and turns......"
Lu Ming thought silently in his heart.
Regardless of whether Shu Changshan is undercover or not, Lu Ming doesn't want more accidents to occur at this moment.
When the two arrived at the base, they saw that Shu Changshan had been sent to the emergency ward. After a long time, a doctor came out and said, "The patient's physical condition is very bad, but it is basically stable, and there is no danger to his life for the time being." Now he's asleep. ”
"Why are you vomiting blood?"
"The gastroscopy detected several bleeding spots in the patient's stomach, which were gastric bleeding."
"Why is it bleeding?"
"Suspected stomach ulcer, but why there is a stomach ulcer, we can't be sure. You should also be aware of this disease, which can only appear due to a combination of factors. ”
He Wei gave up the intention of asking further.
There is no final result of this kind of thing, and it is impossible to determine whether the stomach ulcer is due to natural causes or some strange force, such as a curse.
The doctor left, and He Wei told the two the details of what happened.
"It shouldn't be a big deal. Let's talk about it when he wakes up. ”
That's all there is to it.
Shu Changshan didn't wake up until the next day, but he was still in a bad state, with malaise and weakness.
He had an oxygen tube under his nose and was inhaling oxygen.
"I underestimated the evil power of MONOCULUS. It's just a low-definition picture, and it oppresses me so much. ”
Shu Changshan's face was full of bitterness.
"So...... What are the implications? ”
Shu Changshan sighed: "I'm afraid we only have this one chance." I...... I could feel that I didn't have much to live, a month at most. ”
In the next month, only eighteen days later could the guiding ceremony be held. If you miss this opportunity and can't wait for the next time node, Shu Changshan will die.
and...... I didn't expect MONOCULUS to be so oppressive. I'm afraid you're going to build a hospital in that cliff to keep me alive. Otherwise, under its oppression, I would die if I couldn't hold on for even a day. ”
"Of course, it's okay to build a hospital. It's just that...... Mr. Shu, will you be able to survive until that day? That day when you ...... Can you still sense the monsters? ”
Shu Changshan was silent for a moment, and after a long time, he said quietly: "I'll do my best." ”
