When the big screen showed the successful docking of "Express No. 1" and "Fuxi No.", the crowd at the X Base Control Center was excited and burst into applause!
However, Gao Tianjun couldn't get excited. He had a vague worry in his heart, feeling that everything seemed to be going too smoothly. "Fuxi" had been out of contact for half a year, how could "Express No. 1" find it so easily? It again
How did it break away from its original orbit around Saturn and fall into the rings?
He had such suspicions when the base received a signal from the "Summer Solstice" about battery damage. He had seen the unknown creature that appeared on the "Summer Solstice" in Eisen's dream.
It is believed that it may be something from outer space or "marginal space", and this unknown creature is highly similar to the soft luminous object that appeared at Uncle Zhang's house in Arctic Village. If this really happened, then the "Summer Solstice" would now
It has been controlled by it. As a result, the authenticity of the message sent by the "Summer Solstice" to the base will be difficult to distinguish.
"Could it be that the unknown creature did all this?! Is its purpose to lure us to go to Saturn again?! Is there any danger on the 'Fuxi'..."
Gao Tianjun did not dare to think about it anymore. He prayed silently in his heart, hoping that Deng Kai would escape as soon as possible after pulling the "Fuxi" out of the Saturn ring to avoid falling into a trap.
At this time, a staff officer came over and informed him that he should go to Li Zhanxiong's office immediately. Gao Tianjun looked at the big screen again and followed the staff officer out of the control center.
With a tired look on his face, Li Zhanxiong leaned back on his chair and closed his eyes to take a nap. Since the launch of "Express No. 1", he had not slept soundly for many days. Until he just received a telex notification from his superiors.
Finally, he returned to his office. As soon as he sat down, he closed his eyes involuntarily.
Seeing that Li Zhanxiong was so tired, Gao Tianjun did not dare to disturb him and found a chair to sit down. However, Li Zhanxiong still heard the slight sound of him moving the chair.
"I'm getting older, and after staying up for several days in a row, I can't stand it anymore!" Li Zhanxiong rubbed his face vigorously with both hands, then took out a fax and handed it to Gao Tianjun, "The Ministry of National Security has found traces of Eisen!"
Gao Tianjun took the fax, looked at it, and said in surprise: "They arrived at XJ?"
"According to the investigation of the Ministry of National Security, they found that the last location where Eisen and Jacob appeared was in Hotan, XJ. They disappeared later. However," Li Zhanxiong took out a stack of satellite pictures and placed them in front of Gao Tianjun, "We also collected
When we got a set of high-resolution photos of that area taken by the reconnaissance satellite, we can see something from the photos."
Gao Tianjun picked up these photos and looked through them one by one. The upper right corner of the photos were marked with longitude and latitude coordinates, and the upper left corner recorded the shooting time. The content of the photos were all mountains, rivers, and because they were taken from a high altitude, only the lines could be seen.
The texture and the changes in light and shade under sunlight make it difficult to identify the specific shape. But one thing is obvious, that is, there are no traces of human habitation in this area.
The last two photos have been processed with high magnification and computer clarity. A solitary man in a robe can be seen above. The difference between the two photos is that the position where the man is standing is one or two meters off.
;Then there is one with his shadow, and the other with him in a shadow.
"Did you see anything?" Li Zhanxiong asked.
"Is there something wrong with this person? His face can't be seen from this angle."
"Look at the information on the photo and the shadows around this person."
"These two photos were taken at 11 o'clock in the morning on the 7th and 6 o'clock in the afternoon on the 8th. They are from the same location; as for the shadow..." Gao Tianjun couldn't figure it out.
Li Zhanxiong stood up, paced around the room, and said: "The area where these photos were taken is the hinterland of the Nalengrad Valley in the Kunlun Mountains of XJ. It is an uninhabited land and is called the 'Death Valley' by the locals. Almost everyone
Dare to go in. This man's location is at least 50 to 60 kilometers away from the nearest herdsman village, but he appears in the same place for two days in a row, and he is just a solitary person with no sheep around him. Obviously he is not a herdsman.
.What is he doing there?!"
"Yes! Your analysis makes sense! Is he lost?"
"This possibility exists. But I judge that there is another possibility: he lives there!"
"How is that possible? There are no tents or anything like that around him. He can't live in a cave, right?"
"Look carefully at the details in the two photos. In the photo taken on the morning of the 7th, there is a shadow under the man's feet. This is because there is a wide river valley in front of him, and the sun can shine on him.
A shadow formed on the other side. But in this photo taken on the afternoon of the 8th, he was standing in a shadow. What caused this shadow?"
"Is it...a cliff?"
"Yes! Due to the angle of satellite photography, we cannot visually see the terrain features around this person, but this shadow can just reveal this. In front of this person is the Nalengrad River Valley, and behind him is the
It’s cliffs and rolling mountains! If he lives here, he probably lives in a cave under this cliff! The question now is, this is a no-man’s land, why would he live here?”<
/p>
"Could it be said that he is also an immortal person and is part of Jacob's gang? They all live here...Aisen is also in this cave?"
"The Western Theater Command has sent a special force to search there. But the 'Death Valley' is uninhabited for hundreds of miles, and the weather environment is very harsh. Moreover, if Jacob is really hiding there, he must be prepared.
.So, it’s hard to say whether we can find Eisen and successfully rescue him.”
"I want to take Ding Yushi to participate in the search and rescue operation! The special forces are sharp blades in war, but they are not necessarily opponents in front of the immortals. I have dealt with Jacob, and the relationship between Ding Yushi and Aisen is also
There has been a tacit spiritual interaction, and I believe that letting us go can make a difference!"
"Okay! I will report to my superiors. You two can make preparations first. However, this search and rescue operation must be kept secret from '601'."
Gao Tianjun felt excited. His intuition told him that meeting Jacob again this time would be a major milestone for the scientific community to completely reveal the mystery of the immortal man!
Shortly after Jacob received the message that Katz had entered the cockpit of the "Fuxi", he lost his mental interaction with him. Jacob realized that there must be something interfering between him and Katz, or perhaps
, Katz entered another space with the "Fuxi".
Jacob's ability is different from other immortal people. He can not only interact with everyone around him within a certain range, but also interfere with other people's consciousness and behavior. He can also transcend other immortal people who have established consciousness induction.
Communication of ideas in space. After the experience of working together in "601", he and Katz have established this kind of real-time awareness and interaction ability that is not limited by space.
However, this real-time interaction was interrupted shortly after Katz entered the "Fuxi".
After many fruitless attempts, Jacob could only place his hope in Aisen, the transcendent telepathy between the latter and Aibin, which was also the value of Jacob's decision to take him to the Shenhui Cave.
.
When Jacob came to Eisen again, Eisen was staring at the hourglass in trance.
"Mr. Jacobs, is this hourglass blocked? Why can't I see the sand flowing down?"
"It just flows slowly, you can take a closer look."
Eisen looked at the hourglass suspiciously and found a thin stream of quicksand falling from the bottom of the funnel. "Huh? Strange! Why couldn't I see it just now?"
"It is the sacred vessel of our Immortal Anu God Society. If you think that the sand in the bottle is not flowing down, you really can't see the sand flowing; but once you believe that it is flowing, then you can see it
Got it!"
"Is it so magical?!" Eisen thought to himself and wanted to try again to see if he could stop it, but it had no effect.
"You have now acquiesced that it is flowing. This idea in your heart can no longer be eradicated, so you can only see it continuing to flow."
"You mean to say that whether the sand in this hourglass flows or not is entirely determined by the observer's thoughts? How is this possible?!" Eisen couldn't believe it.
"Ideology, as a kind of ability, also has multiple levels depending on the level difference between ordinary people and immortals. A young child who is not deeply involved in the world has the lowest level of ideation; as he learns and grows, the level of ideation gradually increases; immortality
Due to the inheritance of genes, humans already have a higher level of consciousness than ordinary people when they are born - just like you and Ai Bin. Ai Bin should be an immortal person who has evolved to a higher level. His consciousness level can
Help him transcend time and space. This is why you can receive his message but cannot reach his realm."
"Is Ai Bin's mind level higher than yours?" Eisen asked Jacob tentatively.
"Yes, he is far above me."
"But he is only in his 30s, how come he is above your level?"
"Because God chose him as the messenger!"
Eisen looked at Jacob thoughtfully. After a moment, he asked: "Can your thoughts stop the sand in this hourglass from flowing?"
"Okay." Jacob glanced at the hourglass, "Look, it has stopped."
Eisen turned his gaze to the hourglass and found that the trickle in the bottle was indeed gone, just like what he had seen at first!
He thought for a long time, and a hint of stubbornness gradually appeared in his eyes. "Can you let me meet Ai Bin again? I want to have a longer meeting with him, unlike before... I need a kind of reality that is like
It’s just as true, I need to communicate with him normally! As long as you can do it, I can agree to any conditions!”
Eisen's request is exactly what Jacob wants.
During the two days when Aisen arrived at the Shenhui base, Jacob was not in a hurry to control his consciousness. If he were an ordinary person, Jacob would not wait for a moment. But Aisen is different, he is also an immortal
, the level of thoughts is much higher than that of ordinary people. Before he has understood and accepted the purpose of the Society of God, Jacob cannot be sure that he can form telepathy with Essen as smoothly as he did with Katz; especially when Ya
When Jacob realized that Aisen was God's messenger, he even had a sense of reverence for him. Moreover, Jacob had some scruples about whether it would be against God's will to rashly kidnap him here this time.
Therefore, Jacob first needs to let Eisen have a psychological adaptation and acceptance process, otherwise he is likely to encounter psychological resistance, which will affect the interaction between the two parties.
The hourglass was the sacred instrument used by Jacob to test and guide Eisen. Now, Eisen has obviously been changed by Jacob's thoughts.
"Okay! I can help you." Jacob rearranged the hourglass and said to Eisen: "Please focus on observing this hourglass first and see if you can see anything from it."
Eisen guessed that this was a method of hypnosis. He thought: Ding Yushi and Easton used advanced AR helmets and equipment for their hypnosis experiments, while Jacob might just use this ancient hourglass and his thoughts.
It can be done.
He stared at the hourglass with all his concentration.
Gradually, he saw that the originally silver-white fine sand began to become colorful, and tumbling in the two inverted glass funnels, like two groups of colorful clouds... There seemed to be something else inside...
Eisen saw two faces, one was Deng Kai and the other was Katz. Two colorful clouds were surrounding them, separating them...
"I saw Katz and an astronaut being surrounded by two colorful clouds. The two of them seemed to have lost consciousness..." Eisen told Jacob.
"I understand. Thank you!"
In fact, when Eisen saw these scenes, Jacob's brain had simultaneously received the transmission of his thoughts. In other words, what Eisen saw, Jacob also saw.
"Katz and the astronaut may be in danger now!"
"What are the colorful clouds I saw? Is it real or a symbol? Where is Katz's spaceship now?"
"Everything you see is real! They are on Saturn right now!"
