Gu Fengchun nodded, wanting to say something, but his throat seemed to be blocked, so he had no choice but to nod his head repeatedly, walked closer to Gu Zhenting, and said after a while: "Dad, you came to me in such a hurry, what happened?"
What happened?"
Gu Zhenting coughed, feeling slightly calmer, and said: "I just took on a very special task. I need your help. This project is very dangerous and difficult. Are you willing to help me?" Gu Zhenting
He squinted his eyes at Gu Fengchun, sizing up the son he hadn't seen for several years. He felt like he was shaking his head. To be honest, Gu Zhenting never wanted Gu Fengchun to be involved in the W situation.
He knew better than anyone else that once he got involved with Bureau W, he would lose his freedom. Especially for things related to Project 001, Bureau W would not allow any possibility of leakage.
Although Xie Haidong made a guarantee, who can guarantee that Xie Haidong's guarantee is effective?
Gu Fengchun smiled calmly and said, "Dad, I am your son. Just saying a word is enough." Gu Fengchun saw the wrinkles on his father's forehead getting deeper and deeper, and said with pity.
Gu Zhenting could only respond with a wry smile. "The project I took on is the core task of W Bureau. It not only affects the future direction of W Bureau, but also affects the lives of many people. For it, I have already
We have stopped breathing enough innocent lives. So we cannot fail. Once we fail, we will die. My child, are you afraid?" Gu Zhenting sighed and said. Gu Zhenting thought to himself, as long as Gu Fengchun does not
If he was willing, he was determined to send Gu Fengchun away from this place and would not force his son. He was even more reluctant to let his son take risks for him.
Gu Fengchun thought for a moment and replied: "Father, since it is so dangerous, why do you accept it?"
Gu Zhenting looked solemn and said with a tragic face: "That's because I am a scientist. For anything that fascinates me, I am willing to give my life for it. No reason, just because it is there to call me. I
You have to go, but you don’t have to."
Gu Fengchun nodded and said: "Your blood is flowing in my body. It's impossible for me to be a heroic son, right?" After saying that, he smiled knowingly and said: "Dad, don't think of me as a child anymore.
And you want to protect me. I grew up in Directorate W. I can adapt here and be qualified for the job you can do. You don’t have to worry about me." After saying this, Gu Fengchun turned to look at Colonel Zhang. He said to
Colonel Zhang smiled and said: "Uncle Zhang, I think you must have a confidentiality agreement with you. Bring it to me to sign. I know your time is very urgent, so let's stop talking nonsense?!"
Colonel Zhang sighed: "Like father, like son, Zhen Ting, I really admire you for having such an outstanding son." After saying that, Colonel Zhang took out a crumpled agreement from his pocket.
, handed it to Gu Fengchun.
Gu Fengchun took it and signed the words "Gu Fengchun" at the end without even looking at it. Gu Fengchun knew the contents inside very well, and there was only one result for leaking the secret, and that was the death penalty.
After Gu Zhenting watched his son sign his name, his face twitched. After letting out a long sigh, he looked at Colonel Zhang with a tired look and said, "Okay, take out all the files and objects. I'll start with that."
Explain to Feng Chun about this task."
Colonel Zhang nodded, walked to a row of silver-gray cabinets in the reading room, and opened the cabinet. Inside the cabinet was a large stack of thick files.
Gu Zhenting closed his eyes, thought for a moment and said: "The task I took is the project numbered 001 in Bureau W. Project 001 involves a lot of content, but there is one ultimate goal, which is an underground building in a certain area of Lop Nur.
ancient city.
"W Bureau was not the first institution to study this project. Earlier than W Bureau, there was a scientific research institute named 042. This scientific research institute was established in 1950 and was canceled in 1967. The reason for the cancellation was because of 001
A major accident occurred in the project; after the accident, the superiors set up an accident aftermath team, which was the predecessor of Bureau W." Gu Zhenting said this and stopped, he looked at Gu Fengchun who was about to speak but hesitated.
Look, stop and let Gu Fengchun speak.
Gu Fengchun felt that his throat was a little dry. He swallowed and said, "What accident happened?"
Gu Zhenting shook his head and said, "Don't worry, listen to me slowly. Things that happened over decades cannot be explained clearly at once." Gu Fengchun nodded, and Gu Zhenting continued.
: "Let me talk about the 042 Research Institute first. It was not long after the founding of the country. It has been in war for a long time, and many strange things have happened. When the 042 Research Institute was first established, it was only responsible for dealing with some weird and unexpected things among the people. By the way, it collected some strange people and strangers for reference.
Dispatched by the central government to perform some special tasks. It was not until 1956 that 042 Agency officially began to study Project 001. This project originated from a great man and an ancient book."
At this time, Colonel Zhang and Ye Ya had already placed a thick bundle of files next to Gu Zhenting. In addition, there were several boxes made of sterling silver. There should be something valuable inside. Gu Feng
Chun took a quick look and saw a yellowed note on a box. On the note was written three Chinese characters: "Collection of Immortals". Gufeng Chun didn't need to take a second look to know that this calligraphy was
It is definitely the handwriting of a great man. In addition to being eclectic and elegant, his handwriting also has a magnanimity in it that no one can imitate.
Gu Zhenting gently opened the sterling silver box. Inside was a very shabby-looking book. Gu Fengchun noticed with sharp eyes that the book had been repaired many times, and the damaged parts had been reframed. Gu Zhenting
Ting motioned to Gu Fengchun to look at the book carefully.
Gu Fengchun had to hold his breath and gently hold up the book, as if exhaling inadvertently could turn the book riddled with holes by beetles into scraps of paper.
There was also an inscription on the cover of this shabby book, but Gu Fengchun was very surprised when he read it because he couldn't understand what those three characters were written on. At first, he thought the fonts were quite familiar, similar to the mature Zhouwen of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
Almost. But when I wanted to identify it carefully, I found that it was not the case. The writing at that time was far from being so neat. But it can be judged that it should be the same writing system. Gu Fengchun asked with a wry smile: "What kind of writing is this?"
Gu Zhenting shook his head and said: "We call it the Western Zhou Dynasty secret script. It is very similar to the seal script, but it is independent of it. It does not even have the same character. Fortunately, we have partially deciphered this book. Although
It’s not 100% accurate, but the experts are doing their best.”
Gu Fengchun nodded, said nothing, gently opened the broken book, and said softly to Gu Zhenting: "Dad, have the experts determined the age of this book?"
Gu Zhenting nodded and said: "After carbon 14 determination, it was written about 1,600 years ago."
Gu Fengchun nodded and said: "To be precise, it was 2,634 years ago. The measurement of carbon 14 was not very accurate, but the strange thing is that paper had not been invented at that time.
