The old man didn't expect Qu Ning to suddenly change his mind: "Why don't you leave again?"
Qu Ning said seriously: "I thought about it, it's okay to die."
The old man collapsed: "How can you keep your word!"
She had already said she was going to leave, but she actually regretted it in the middle. Didn't the scene just scare her at all?
In fact, Qu Ning was still a little panicked inside, but she pretended to be calm and said to the old man: "Grandpa Bai, I just thought about what you said carefully, and I think you are right. I should take work as my responsibility and finish the work."
It’s business.”
"Let's go, let's go, I won't keep you anymore." The old man couldn't resist Qu Ning and started to chase them away.
Qu Ning saw the opportunity and walked towards the wall, then without any explanation, she hit the outer wall with her elbow.
Bang.
Qu Ning's face turned blue in pain. She looked up and saw that it was indeed a visual effect. It was not what she had just seen. It was just a wall. And the old people waving to her just now were all projections and illusions.
She almost believed it.
Then Qu Ning persevered and continued to hit the wall with her arm several times. Suddenly, an alarm sounded from the corner.
[The main system has been destroyed!!!]
[The main system has been destroyed!!!]
The old man watched helplessly as Qu Ning hit the wall and the alarm sounded.
He simply didn't bother to stop her and allowed her to continue hitting the wall.
Finally the sirens stopped.
The wall gradually became transparent. Qu Ning took a step back and then raised her head. She saw a huge glass wall in front of her.
At this moment, the picture inside the glass wall can also be seen clearly.
It was a huge laboratory, and the people who lived in it were all elderly people. They were wearing white coats and walking around neatly. Even those who couldn't walk were busy in wheelchairs.
What you see before you are all technological systems.
This extremely weird painting style once made Qu Ning stunned.
She didn't expect that when the wall became transparent, she would see another world in the future.
In a world controlled by technology, high technology is everywhere.
The old man walked up to Qu Ning and asked, "Are you surprised, little girl?"
Qu Ning looked sideways and asked the old man: "What are they doing there? And... who are they?"
The old man replied to Qu Ning: "They are all diehards from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. They will retire here collectively and conduct some small experiments along the way."
The corner of Qu Ning's mouth twitched: "You call this retirement?"
The old man nodded: "Of course."
Qu Ning said: "The oldest among them is the old man in the wheelchair. He looks like he is nearly a hundred years old."
The old man frowned and raised his eyebrows: "Oh, you have a good eye and you can see really accurately."
Qu Ning was speechless: "..."
Next, Qu Ning learned from the old man that not all the old people in the laboratory were over ninety years old. There were only three elderly people who were the oldest, and they all happened to be over ninety-five years old.
The other elderly people are around 70 to 80 years old.
There are seven or eight elderly people in total.
They are indeed elites from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. When they announced their retirement, no one knew that they came to Wolong Village collectively to implement their experimental plan in this hidden and unknown village.
An experimental plan for traveling through time and space.
At first, Qu Ning listened casually as the old man explained the identities of the people inside and how powerful and influential they were when they were young, but she was not interested at all.
Qu Ning was stunned until she heard the old man say that those people inside were studying experiments related to space tunnels.
Space tunnel?
Isn't that what she has experienced before?
In fact, she knows that there are many people who study space travel in reality. They want to study whether there is a two-dimensional space in this world, whether there is a parallel world, whether there are black holes and tunnels that can travel through space...
Later, there were always various reports saying that so and so discovered a black hole in space and time, and that so and so went to a parallel world. In short, there were various rumors, but they were never publicly confirmed.
Regarding everything that is unknown, some people always have an attitude of ignorance, while other people have an attitude of awe, because they firmly believe that there is another space in this world.
Qu Ning has experienced it, so she believes it.
But she also knows that this is not something that can be said casually, because no one will believe it. Even if someone does believe it, they will arrest you and conduct various secret studies.
Qu Ning suddenly understood why these old people would hide in this little-known village after retirement and continue to conduct these unacknowledged experiments.
"Did their research succeed?" Qu Ning asked.
The old man felt that Qu Ning's reaction was too calm: "Aren't you surprised? Little girl."
"I'm not a materialist," she said.
The old man smiled: "Well, I thought you would be surprised and thought they were all crazy."
Qu Ning: "It is precisely because the things they experimentally study are not recognized by the outside world. If the outside world knew about them, they would be considered crazy. So after I came in, you deliberately created the illusion that I was in a lunatic asylum.
This gave me psychological fear.”
The old man praised her: "You are very smart."
Qu Ning said politely: "Thank you for your compliment."
Then she asked again: "But you haven't answered me yet, have they succeeded in their research?"
The old man smiled and said nothing, which made Qu Ning very confused, but then she thought about it, maybe it was because the old man didn't want to say more to her.
After all, this is not a topic that can be discussed.
But Qu Ning was just very curious. She took the initiative to discuss this topic with the old man: "I believe in parallel worlds, and I believe in space tunnels very much."
She brought up the topic and waited for the old man to answer.
But the old man was not fooled: "Just keep some secrets in your heart, and don't tell others casually, especially outsiders."
"I know." Qu Ning's attitude was serious: "I think if you are willing to bring me in, you must want me to know something, or do you know me before?"
This is just Qu Ning's self-guessing.
She was not sure whether the old man knew her or not.
Maybe it's inner intuition.
Seeing that Qu Ning was obsessed with this topic, the old man smiled helplessly and said: "Look at their gray hair. Compared with your persistence in wanting to talk to me about this topic, it is almost their obsession to continue researching and get the truth.
, they have dedicated their lives to this matter and have been pursuing an answer their whole lives."
Qu Ning suddenly turned her head and looked at the transparent glass wall.
Those old people are really very old.
They received countless honors when they were young and should have lived a relaxed and free retirement life, but their obsession made them gather here.
Qu Ning murmured: "Will they succeed in their research..."
God smiled meaningfully and said to Qu Ning: "Why else would you be here?"
