Chapter 1: Genius White Feather
The first year of the Star Era
People's Square rostrum
"Congratulations to Bai Yu, known as the most outstanding scientist of this era, his invention of the time shuttle has also been rated as a great invention across the era, and I would like to invite Comrade Huang Fuling, vice president of the Federal Assembly, to present Bai Yu with the Most Outstanding Scientist of the Year Award, and everyone welcomed him with warm applause. The audience immediately burst into warm applause, and some people who admired Huangfu Ling and Bai Yu directly shouted their names. Under the backdrop of everyone's cheers and applause, Bai Yu walked onto the rostrum, bowed slightly to Huangfu Ling, received the certificate, turned around and bowed to the audience again.
"Our scientist Bai Yu is really young and promising, he has become the most outstanding scientist at the age of sixteen," Huang Fuling's enchanting voice spread throughout the square through the loudspeaker, "Next, I would like to invite our Comrade Bai Yu to give an acceptance speech." β
"Thank you for your support, I can't get to where I am today without my dear friend Yuan Pi, who has always been with me, encouraged me, and gave me the confidence to complete this research, and thank the Federation for cultivating me, without the Federation, I would not be where I am todayΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· I believe that our future will be better, and that's all for my speech, thank you!" After speaking, Bai Yu bowed again, turned around and signaled to Huangfu Ling and the host, and walked off the stage.
"Thank you Comrade Bai Yu for your speech, in addition to the award ceremony today, we also want to announce a news, in order to commemorate Comrade Bai Yu's invention of the time shuttle, after the federal unified review and decision, to create a new era, called 'Star Era', and set this year as the first year, a new era is about to open, let us look forward to a better future. The voice of Huangfu Ling was heard again in the loudspeaker, but this time it was a little more impassioned.
Underground laboratory
Bai Yu sat there quietly alone in a daze, and no one knew what he was thinking. At this moment, Yuan Pi suddenly patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "What's the matter? Is it too famous? Haha, why are you alone here in a daze." After speaking, he smiled at the white feather demon.
"It turned out to be Yuan Cheng, don't tease me, you don't know what those people in the world government are thinking, they just want to give me a false name so that I can keep to myself," Bai Yu glanced at Yuan Cheng and said angrily, "Others don't know, can you still not know." Although the countries of the world are unified, and on the surface it may be peaceful coexistence between countries, but in fact this is only the ambition of the world government, which is only to be able to bind the countries with a unified approach and make them easier to be deployed. After all, in this era of peace, conquest by force is no longer in the flow, which will only provoke people's anger, so there is the theory of world government. β
Hearing this, Yuan Cheng suddenly changed his usual style, no longer had a hippie smile, and looked at Bai Yu with a calm face: "Bai Yu, promise me, if one day I do something that you don't expect, then no matter how ridiculous this thing is and how unfavorable it is to you, you have to believe me, okay?"
Bai Yu saw the best friend in front of him who had known him for many years, and smiled secretly: "Needless to say, I don't even believe you, who else can I trust?" It is estimated that in addition to your parents, only you are really good to me." β
At this time, Yuan Pi didn't know where to take out a bottle of red wine, gently poured two glasses, and came to Bai Yu and sat down: "Come, taste, this is my treasured wine." β
Bai Yu looked at this best friend, took the wine glass, and sighed lightly: "The next days will not be peaceful, and I refuse that matter." β
"That thing?" Yuan Cheng sighed, "It's normal to refuse, after all, it is the world government that has the final say, it seems to be democratic, but in fact it is a monopoly, but even without our support, it is estimated that it will not affect their plans." β
"yes, maybe we shouldn't have invented the plane-shuttle, but they didn't know that I had quietly rerouted it so that it could only be used once. Bai Yu drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.
"That's right. Yuan Cheng thought thoughtfully, as if he was planning something.
In this way, the two fell asleep unconsciously.
Early the next morning, Yuan Pi kicked Bai Yu, who was lying on the ground sleeping, with his foot: "Big lazy worm, get up quickly, the sun is drying your butt." β
Bai Yu stretched his waist, turned over, and muttered: "This is the basement, where does the sun come from, let me sleep again!"
"Today, the Emperor Fu Ling will come, wake up quickly, and think about countermeasures. Yuan Cheng said helplessly.
"No, what is that woman doing here, spying on us? Bai Yu got up and stretched out.
At this moment, the door suddenly opened, Huangfu Ling and two entourages walked in, Bai Yu and the two were startled, Bai Yu stepped forward: "I don't know why Lord Huangfu has time to come to our small laboratory, where is the wind blowing." But no matter what, it's rude to enter someone else's house without knocking on the door. As he spoke, Bai Yu's head was raised forty-five degrees, and he put on a high-spirited look, without the humility of the award ceremony.
"What kind of attitude do you have, what do you call your family, this is an asset owned by the World Government, Lord Huangfu can come whenever he wants, and he still needs your consent?" a younger attendant scolded.
"Well, after all, it's still a child, so don't worry too much. Huang Fuling pinched Bai Yu's chin with one hand as he spoke, his eyes full of teasing, "Such a beautiful face, coupled with such a smart brain, is simply the best in the world! Huang Fu Ling slowly brought his face closer until they could feel each other's breath.
Seeing this, Yuan Pi stepped forward to relieve the siege: "I don't know what Lord Huangfu is here for coming to us today, should it be just to make fun of our little Bai Yu comrade." β
"That's one of the reasons, but I think you know exactly what I'm here for. Huangfu Ling let go of Bai Yu, put his hands on his chest, and looked at Yuan Cheng tightly.
"If you're here today for that, then I'm sorry, we have our own plans, forgive you. Yuan Pi didn't let in the slightest, and looked at Huangfu Ling's sharp gaze.
"Well, since you've said so, then bother," Huang Fu Ling turned to his entourage and said, "Let's go, I'll wait for your good news." Obviously, the latter sentence was for Bai Yu and them, and they left the laboratory after speaking.
"Alas, it seems that the plan is about to be pushed forward, Bai Yu, please remember, you have to believe me no matter what, I won't harm you. β
Looking at Yuan Pi's serious face, Bai Yu nodded, Yuan Pi is three years older than Bai Yu, Yuan Pi has always been Bai Yu's best friend and colleague, and Bai Yu's eldest brother, Bai Yu has always received a lot of help from Yuan Yu. Although Bai Yu is smarter, Yuan Cheng is more calm, generally Bai Yu is responsible for design, Yuan Cheng is responsible for commissioning and planning, and has been working together seamlessly.
Soon night fell, and the day was about to pass, and the stars in the sky did everything in their power to illuminate the earth with a little starlight, without the splendor of the sun, nor the indifference of the moonlight, but only the light of the stars. It was so peaceful and serene, the leaves rustling.
A week later
The sun was shining, but the time outside didn't have much impact on the laboratory, and Bai Yu was still lying on the sofa in the living room and taking a nap. Suddenly, the door was opened, and it was none other than Huangfu Ling, who had only come a week earlier, but this time she did not bring an entourage.
Bai Yu woke up and saw Huangfu Ling: "Why are you here again, is there something wrong?"
"It's not a big deal, it's the one I talked to you about before. I think you also understand that now the situation does not allow any further delay, we are not taking action, and the only thing waiting for us is destruction, do you really bear it?" Huangfu Ling looked at Bai Yu and asked softly.
"Even if our previous calculations are correct, they won't pose a threat to us anytime soon, so why rush?"
"I know you won't compromise easily, and I've convinced your good friend for that. With that, Huangfu Ling walked towards Bai Yu, and at this time, the figure behind her was revealed, yes, it was Yuan Yu.
"Yuan Pi, why are you by her side? Why don't you hurry over. β
"Bai Yu, maybe we were really wrong, maybe we should really start our plans. Yuan Pi looked at Bai Yu and said helplessly.
"Yuan Pi, what are you talking about, besides, no one can use my technology without my consent. β
"Bai Yu, now is not the time to be willful, obedient. β
Bai Yu looked at Huangfu Ling, and saw her smiling, as if she was looking at something very happy: "What did you say to Yuan Cheng, you bad woman!"
"Ho, I didn't say anything, I just explained some truths, Yuan Pi move quickly, I don't want to wait too long. Huang Fuling said, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was tired of seeing.
"Bai Yu, listen to me. β
"Why are you listening to that woman. β
"You're still the same, then I can only grab you with my hands and forgive me. Yuan Pi walked towards Bai Yu step by step, Bai Yu wanted to dodge, but was grabbed by Yuan Pi, and the two scuffled together. The lab gradually became chaotic, and at some point, the time shuttle had been turned on. At this time, the two of them happened to be in front of the passage, and Bai Yu struggled to break free from Yuan Cheng's control. Suddenly, he felt as if the power that was holding him had disappeared, and his body fell uncontrollably towards the passage, and disappeared in an instant.
"What are you doing, look what good things you've done!" Huang Fu Ling looked at the closed passage and scolded Yuan Pi.
Yuan Pi slowly took out a remote control from his pocket as if he was fine, pressed the button, and saw that the wall next to the laboratory door slowly recessed and moved horizontally, revealing the secret room inside. At this time, a person was walking out of it, wasn't this person the "white feather" who had just disappeared.
"What's going on?"
"This is the clone I set up for Bai Yu, just in case, after all, if he dies, it will not be easy to find another person so smart, this is what we said in advance. This clone has different abilities in addition to different memories, but it is basically the same as Bai Yu, so from now on he is Bai Yu, don't say that he leaks. β
"So that's the case, I'm wrong to blame you, so is it okay to execute the plan next?"
"Yes, it's just a pity that this time shuttle machine was deliberately made by Bai Yu when it was made with some metals that were not very bearable, so it could only be used once. β
"Let's put that aside, what we're going to do next is what really matters, and it's about the fate of humanity as a whole. β
