Chapter Ninety-Four: Humans and Lightning Men (I)
Although Dagu entered the infirmary again, this time he actually just fell into the water, so he came out quickly.
As the culprit who caused Dagu to fall into the water, Horii naturally took on the responsibility of combining with Dagu and carrying out the mission again.
Well, in fact, Xincheng and Lina are now being banned from flying by the captain because of dangerous driving, and in addition to the ban on flying, there is still a 10,000-word review to write.
As an organization with a formal establishment, review and explanation of the situation are of course indispensable, especially in the case of an accidental plane crash, the 10,000-word review is only within the victory team, and if such a thing happens several times more often in peacetime, there will even be people from the investigation team directly stationed in the victory team to inspect the personnel involved.
Of course, the current Dagu is not familiar with this set of processes.
After a day of recuperation, Oko and Horii once again began patrolling duty, only this time Oko was the main pilot, and Horii was sitting in the back seat as an auxiliary personnel.
"By the way, have you ever seen the Lightning Man?" Dagu asked curiously, "According to the information that was previously lifted, Castor once drove a fighter jet into the interior of the ionosphere, and then dispersed the lightning man located over the city. ”
"I haven't seen it, that incident was very sudden, and after that, it seemed that there was a connection, and the lightning people who had gathered together either left the earth or scattered"
"By the way, I heard that your teacher wants to study the Lightning Man? I think you said something like that, right? ”
Horii nodded, "But it's difficult, my teacher is a pure scholar, and after Castor confirmed the existence of the lightning man, my teacher's research didn't seem so meaningful, so he has actually started to move on to other research directions now." ”
"So, why did your teacher study the Lightning Man in the first place? In the record that Castor is talking about, it should be a civilization that is completely different from humans. ”
"It's because it's completely different, so my teachers want to study them, they probably have been on Earth longer than humans, and if we can establish some communication with them, then we will definitely be able to know a lot about them before the birth of humans."
"Before the birth of mankind?" Da Gu pondered this sentence, and he didn't know why, but when he said this, some fragments would flicker in his mind unconsciously.
Horii didn't notice Dagu's expression, he nodded and said, "There is actually a civilization on Earth that is older than humans, and humans don't even have any intersection with them, and there is no hostility between them, if you can make friends with them, isn't it a very dreamy thing?" ”
"But... Didn't Castor attack them a long time ago? "Da Gu is a little unsure, can it be regarded as no hostility between each other in such a situation?
"Yes, but according to Castor, the situation was complicated, and it was impossible to say who attacked who attacked first, but if we could unite with them, wouldn't the humans be equivalent to having one more friend?"
"And whatever the truth is, no one has really been in contact with them except Casto, so I think it's a bit of a bit necessary to have a little contact if I have the chance." Horii paused for a moment, and then continued uncertainly, "Actually, it's not right to say that there is no contact at all, and TPC observation sites around the world have received reports of this. ”
"What report?"
Horii looked at the clouds outside the window, "Many civil aircraft have detected abnormal electromagnetic phenomena, but they are all under thunderstorm weather, so no one has paid attention to this matter. ”
Da Gu thought for a moment, and then said very suspiciously, "Since a possible anomaly has been detected, why hasn't anyone notified us, I think the victory team should be dispatched at this time?" ”
"Although we are an institution that studies the paranormal, we are also an institution that deals with the paranormal, and since the existence of the lightning people has been determined, as long as they don't attack humans, you can ignore them for now, after all, they are not even carbon-based creatures."
Suddenly, the communicator of the Victory Feiyan rang, and there was a somewhat helpless voice from Munakata, "This is something that cannot be helped, the lightning man was confirmed before the establishment of TPC, and it can even be said that at the beginning of that revolution, at that time, the eyes of the whole world were focused on Director Sawai." ”
"Yes, even my teacher was busy running around the world to support Director Sawai's TPC project at that time, otherwise he would still have had the opportunity to study the Lightning Man at that time." Horii continued, "Although the establishment of TPC was peaceful, the time, energy, and manpower required during this period was much greater than expected, but fortunately, TPC was eventually established, and the effort was worth it. ”
"But that's the case with scientific research, some projects are originally supported by a certain team, and once the leader of that team stops halfway, it is not necessarily easier to restart the project than to start from scratch."
Horii turned on the screen in the back seat and looked at Munakata, while continuing to Daigu, "Maybe this is also the reason why my teacher wants to try again to restart the Lightning Man project, after all, according to Director Sawai, no, it should be said that according to the accepted view of the scientific community around the world, the future human world is likely to have no time to study any lightning people." ”
"Yes, it's because the research value of the Lightning Man was denied, so our winning team didn't bother with this matter, and everyone felt that we should still spend more time on training."
Munakata sighed, in fact, there was nothing wrong with such an idea on the surface, compared to the lightning man who was not a threat, it was indeed more important for the victory team to keep training all the time.
But as a soldier from the army, Munakata knew that this statement was actually very wrong, and that training was important? Of course it's important, but if you don't have a drill, you won't be able to find a problem.
What's more, the lightning man is not a drill, it can even be said to be a real battle.
It's just that the victory team doesn't have much say in this matter, as an organization with a certain amount of armed force, their every move is watched by the whole world.
Humanity will not allow the victorious team to do anything that could lead to conflict, at least not yet.
And there is actually a deeper reason for ignoring the lightning man, which is a reason why neither Munakata nor Megumi Koma, whether it is Director Yoshioka or Chief of Staff Nanyuan, or even Director Sawai is reluctant to take the initiative to mention it.
Da Gu heard the helplessness in Zongfang's words, he thought for a moment, and then said with some uncertainty: "If we don't use the equipment of the victory team, but use... What about civilian equipment? ”
"You mean... With Keigo Masaki's equipment? ”
"I don't know, but I'd like to try."
