In the next few days, the old people of the 501 Institute unexpectedly found that it seemed to be lively again, and most of the old people who stayed in the 501 Institute were former researchers of the 501 Institute, because this was once a confidential unit, so they did not communicate with the outside world in the past.

Later, after entering the 21st century, the old people became more and more unaccustomed to the changes in the outside world, and some of the old people returned here after leaving, planning to retire in this most familiar place.

The other part of the people simply have no children and no daughters, and there is no other place to go except for the 501 Institute.

And the 501 school has gradually transitioned to a place like a nursing home for these old people.

It looks like a regular experiment, and it seems that it may not have been done in a long time.

Once such a 501 school is busy, it is easy to arouse the curiosity of the elderly.

Lin Lao is such an old man.

He walked with his cane to the familiar laboratory, which had not been tested for a long time, and he remembered that when he was younger, there were many people here, and many people with special abilities came here to test and experiment.

Among them, he was most impressed by the clairvoyant people, who were on a table, surrounded by at least five surveillance officers to prevent cheating, and who would also have a rare and expensive video recorder in China at that time to shoot and record.

The clairvoyant would blindfold and turn their backs around the table, and then the others would place some items on the table and cover them with an opaque cover.

Then you can ask the clairvoyant what is on the table, and they start by asking the color, the number, the shape of the thing, and so on.

The clairvoyant can't answer correctly every time, but he answers correctly at least seventy percent of the times, so they are sure that the clairvoyant really has a special function.

In addition, there are other special features, such as someone can remember anything that happened around them since they were a child, and there will never be a single mistake.

There are also people who have mind-reading skills, which he personally tested, and he silently recites a number in his heart, and those who have the ability to read mind-reading can guess the number that he silently recites in his heart, of course, not every time he guesses correctly, but the accuracy rate is at least half.

For every test they 501 does, the ability of each capable person must be repeatable, eliminating the possibility of coincidences.

Thinking about it, Lin Lao once again entered this laboratory built inside the mountain, where an air-raid shelter was built at first, and later allocated to the 501 Institute, because some people felt that conducting experiments inside the mountain could reduce the interference of a lot of cosmic radiation or other human body energy, and the success might be greatly increased.

"Xiao Chu, what are you doing here?" As soon as Lin Lao came in, he saw Chu Xuan moving a huge instrument, the steel structure had been formed, and many coil devices that had been wound were being lifted step by step.

Lin Lao didn't walk in to take a closer look, otherwise he would have found that the weight of these things that Chu Xuan was carrying had completely exceeded the maximum weight that a normal person could lift, because those coils were all wound, and Lin Lao only thought that these coils were only wrapped around the outer part.

"Oh, we designed an experiment before, and we just saw that there are still some materials left over from the past in the warehouse, and they are used just right, so as not to rust and completely scrap after a long time." Chu Xuan said.

"It's okay, if you don't use these materials, they may all rot after a while, by the way, if you need any help, remember to say, I still have a little pension left." Lin Lao said with a smile, he likes the house to be lively, at least he doesn't care about the pension, he doesn't have any offspring, and he doesn't need money to eat in the house, and it's enough to buy two clothes a year.

However, Chu Xuan obviously didn't need it, and the experiment he designed was enough to use only those materials in the warehouse.

And Lin Lao came outside in a majestic manner, gossiping about the news he had just gotten.

A few days later, Chu Xuan was ready, all the experimental equipment was moved outside, and he chose a cloudy day for testing to avoid the test being discovered by satellites.

The experiment is about to officially begin, and the 501 old people who know the news have carried their small moves to the side of the experimental instrument and waited for the start, and they all came to see the excitement.

While opening, he also discussed: "Hey, you said that Xiao Chu is going to do some experiments later, these instruments look quite high-end." ”

"What's the high-end? Isn't this all those scrap coils in the warehouse? Why, I don't recognize it when I put it back together? ”

"Of course I know it's a scrapped coil, but that's its previous state, and now after Xiao Chu's hands are upside down, hey, it's not a scrapped coil!"

"You know that? Can you tell us what this coil is for? ”

"Then I don't know, but most of it has something to do with electromagnetic fields, wait and see, right? Maybe it's a change of mind to control the electromagnetic field experiment. ”

"What kind of experiment is that, pseudoscience."

"You old man, didn't you study mind transfer before? Pick up the bowl to eat, put down the bowl and scold your mother? When I do my own research, it's a special function, and when I retire, it's pseudoscience? ”

"You, unreasonable, it's just that I've studied a lot before before I know that mind control is false."

……

Everyone talked about it, and Chu Xuan also directly used the video recorder to record the video, he stood in front of the video recorder and said nonsense with a serious face: "Dear leaders, comrades, the experimental designer is Chu Xuan, a researcher at the 501 Institute, and the participant is Chu Li, the director of the 501 Institute.

The purpose of this experiment is to record the physical parameters of the nuclear fusion reaction to provide reliable data support for the real completion of controlled nuclear fusion in the future......"

Hearing Chu Xuan's words, the voice of the old man and the old lady below did not disappear, although it became smaller, more people participated.

"Controlled nuclear fusion, isn't that to create a small sun?"

"Can it be done? With such high-end technology, what can we get out of 501? ”

"It's okay if you can't get it, nuclear fusion has no radiation, and I'm not afraid of failure."

"Hey, I'm afraid that Xiao Chu will fail once and will collapse in the future, I care about young comrades."

"Wait, look, it's about to begin."

The voices of the crowd gradually faded away, because in the case of special function experiments, external interference must be eliminated as much as possible, and sometimes even the number of observers is limited.

It's good that Chu Xuan didn't drive them out.

Then, I saw Chu Li, the director of the 501 Institute, come out and nodded at Chu Xuan.

He looked at the energized coil, on which from time to time some current broke through the air, causing electric flashes, and the magnetic field confinement was also present in the coil.

Chu Li directly poured the heavy water that had been prepared by Chu Xuan for the nuclear test next to him, and then poured it into the coil device.

Originally, as soon as the water entered, it should have fallen to the ground directly due to the gravity of the earth, but a mysterious force lifted the heavy water all up.

It is as if they have lost their gravitational pull, condensed together like water from outer space, and various irregular shapes appear on the surface, constantly flowing.

"Wow!!" There was an exclamation from the old men and women, and they couldn't understand how this water could have become like this.

Such exclamations did not disturb Chu Xuan, who was doing the experiment, and he continued: "This is heavy water extracted using the ancient method, our comrades can directly separate deuterium gas from heavy water, and similarly, the helium-3 required for nuclear fusion reactions is also extracted from the ground little by little, because our comrade, Chu Li's special function has finally been able to extract this rare element from the ground recently, so we decided to carry out this experiment." ”

The old men and the old ladies thought the experiment was extraordinary.

However, when the experiment began completely, they felt that this experiment seemed to be really special.

After ignition, a 'little sun' that constantly emitted light and heat appeared in the center of the magnetic field coil, and Chu Li constrained the rate of the fusion reaction, this sun looked so beautiful and so gentle, that everyone was shocked to drop their jaws.

When the experiment went on for half an hour, Chu Xuan pretended to collect all the data recorded on the instrument next to him, and then said to Chu Li: "Director, the task is complete." ”

Chu Li nodded, and then extinguished the little sun with his own hands.

When the sunlight disappeared, some of the old people couldn't close their jaws, and some people also felt a little pity, and asked, "Director, little ...... That researcher Chu, why did this little sun go out? ”

In this regard, Chu Xuan explained: "Because the experiment has been completed, the data has been collected, and the coil is close to being scrapped at this point, the experiment can only be suspended. ”

Hearing this explanation, Lin Lao took a closer look and found a big problem.

Many of those coils were deformed, after all, they were so close to the nuclear fusion reaction, even if Chu Li had continuously controlled the power of the nuclear fusion reaction, but such a high heat still directly caused these coils that had been stored for a long time to melt.

If everyone finds that the little sun has not disappeared when all the coils have melted, wouldn't it be a direct telling everyone that these coils are useless?

When Lin Lao saw this result, most of the old people were still extremely surprised in their hearts, and their brains were still a little confused, so he reacted the fastest and asked, "By the way, Researcher Chu, how are you going to hand in this experiment?!" ”

"Ah, of course it's a normal process to turn it in," Chu Xuan said as a matter ......of course.

"That's not good, it's hard for you to quickly get the attention of the above if you hand it in like this, I'll directly help you make an appointment with someone, you can see if you can replicate this experiment again, by the way, give me a copy of the experimental materials and videos." Lin Lao said anxiously.

"This ...... is a bit out of line......" Chu Xuan hesitated.

"Hey, Comrade Xiao Chu, I definitely won't give these materials to others, I'm handing them over to Qian Lao, don't you worry about me, don't you worry about Qian Lao? In this way, I will call Qian Lao now and say it in front of you. Lin Lao said.

"That's good." Chu Xuan nodded directly and agreed, which made Lin Lao a little embarrassed.

But soon I didn't care, this is the turnaround of the 501 Institute, Qian Lao has always supported the study of special functions, and has come to the 501 Institute many times to give lectures.

Unfortunately, due to some other reasons and physical limitations, it is difficult to come back.

But Lin Lao believes that with Qian Lao's reputation, he can definitely quickly make the experiments of the 501 Institute and the 501 Institute get the attention of the above.

Soon, a call came to the capital, and an old man answered the call.

And the plot of the three-body world is also rushing in another direction.

——

Wang Miao felt that what she had encountered in the past two days was a bit unusual, and this unusualness began after she received the invitation to the boundaries of science.

He felt that the scientific boundary was by no means a simple scientific academic organization, otherwise how could he suddenly be relied on by someone like Shi Qiang?

However, after attending the meeting that afternoon, especially after seeing Yang Dong and the death of those scientists, he felt that he had to completely figure out the truth of this scientific boundary.

So he chose to promise Shi Qiang to find a way to go undercover into the boundaries of science and investigate what this organization does, and why do those scientists commit suicide one after another?

Why, Yang Dong said in his suicide note that physics never existed?

And most importantly, the countdown number, what does it mean exactly, and what will happen to you when the countdown disappears completely?

For human beings, a string of numbers is not terrible, and a string of countdowns is not terrible, but a string of countdowns that only you can see, and you don't know what will happen after the countdown ends, such a countdown is the most terrifying.

Wang Miao forced himself to calm down, now he must rest, and he will return to the laboratory tomorrow to conduct experiments.

However, at this time, there was another knock on the door of his house, who will knock on his door at this point in time?

So if nothing else, it should be another accident.

Sure enough, after opening the door, standing outside the house was the police officer named Shi Qiang, who was very reckless and violent in handling the case.

Seeing this, Wang Miao subconsciously said: "I will investigate the matter, you don't have to knock on my door at night." ”

As he spoke, he wanted to close the door, because he always felt that as soon as this Shi Qiang came, there would be trouble waiting for him.

However, Shi Qiang grabbed the door and said with a smile: "Professor Wang, don't be afraid, there is a great thing this time!" ”

"I don't want to hear it." Wang Miao wanted to keep closing.

"Hey, aren't you asleep yet? Look at this sweaty head, the house is so hot and you don't turn on the air conditioner? Let's go, there is really a good thing this time, it is related to Yang Dong, the chief specially asked me to pick you up, and I can't make phone calls. Shi Qiang said with a smile.

Hearing this, Wang Miao understood what Shi Qiang meant, maybe there were some things with a high level of confidentiality that he wanted to participate in, otherwise he wouldn't even make a phone call, and came directly to find himself.

At this time, he also happened to be unable to sleep because of the countdown he saw with his eyes, so he thought for a while and said, "I'll change my clothes." ”

"Okay, go ahead, I'll be waiting for you at this door!" Shi Qiang said.
