68. Earth Rescuers Alliance
Powell himself, who is really an academic lunatic, can stay in the cave laboratory for ten years, doing his experiments endlessly. Except for eating, he even compressed his sleeping time, sleeping only three to four hours a night on average.
Shen Yunhong is still working hard to maintain law and order in Daliang Mountain, a poor mountainous area. During this period, there were two deflagration incidents near the air-raid shelter in the west, ostensibly by drug traffickers, but in fact, according to his guess, it may be the resurrection that is causing sabotage. Those people thought that the underground laboratory had been successfully destroyed, and they never made a fuss again.
Shen Yunhong admired Powell's mind from the bottom of his heart, this kid actually knew how to use the trick called "hiding from the sky and crossing the sea" in the 36 strategies, and easily blocked the enemy's ears and eyes.
However, admiration is admiration, whether his experiment can be successful in the end is still a huge question mark, hanging high in Shen Yunhong's heart.
When he was alone, Shen Yunhong occasionally recalled the night under the stars, inspired by Powell, and had a strange dream about building a star bridge and establishing a world union, but every time he thought of the end, he only laughed.
On the evening of early July, it seemed to be raining in the mountains, and the hot and humid air was sticky and greasy, and people seemed to be smeared with glue. Shen Yunhong came back from patrolling the mountains with a few soldiers, and saw the orderly Xiao Zhang standing at the gate of the outpost in a daze, waiting for him.
For the sake of safety, Powell and Shen Yunhong never use communication equipment to communicate, and if the two sides need to meet, they will always contact each other through Xiao Zhang. Xiao Zhang's appearance here at this time was somewhat unexpected, because Powell would not normally call him over until nightfall.
Dismissing the people who came back together, Shen Yunhong and Xiao Zhang drove to Xiaoxiangling. When he arrived at the location, Xiao Zhang found a hidden place to hide and wait, so he went into the mountain from the hole at the bottom of the mountain and climbed down the ramp into the laboratory.
Ten years later, Powell is quite old before he is 50 years old because of premature aging caused by excessive use of his brain. His blonde hair was gray, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were so deep that his gold-rimmed glasses couldn't cover them.
But his personality is more flamboyant than back then, every time Shen Yunhong pushes the door in, he laughs and shouts: "My brother, I can look forward to you!" ”
However, this time, when Shen Yunhong pushed open the heavy wooden door of the laboratory, it was quiet inside, as if he had walked into an eerie tomb.
This atmosphere is unusual, even if Powell does not speak, at least there should be noise from the machinery and equipment, but why is the machine even shut down?
The first thought that jumped into Shen Yunhong's mind was that something had happened to Powell.
Is he sick? Or did you hurt yourself?
Shen Yunhong rushed in a few worried steps, searched everywhere for Powell's figure, and soon found him collapsed under a table full of optical instruments, clutching a glowing glass flask in his arms.
"Dr. Dowen, what's wrong with you? Do you want me to call the medic? Shen Yunhong thought that he expected that this person was sick, and hurriedly asked with concern.
Powell didn't answer, only "hey, hey" and smirked, and he didn't even know how to wipe the saliva running down the corners of his mouth. That expression made Shen Yunhong see it, and he felt that he was a bit like Fan Jinzhongju in Chinese stories.
After laughing for a while, Powell barely managed to squeeze out a sentence from between his teeth: "Brother, we succeeded." ”
"Success?"
The word "success" in Powell's mouth, Shen Yunhong couldn't react for a while.
For ten years, this guy hid in a cave halfway up the mountain and was tinkering around, and Shen Yunhong sent him ten years of military rations for nothing, and he hasn't even seen any feedback so far.
Among the few old experts who stretched their necks in anticipation of a miracle, some people had already passed away, and the rest were far less enthusiastic than before, occasionally meeting Shen Yunhong, his words were cold, and he complained that he shouldn't do stupid things with him.
Only Shen Yunhong's confidence in Powell remains undiminished, just like he treats every battle, he has the belief that he will win. But he was also somewhat numb to a war that had been fought for ten years without hearing any guns.
Compared to waiting for the results of Powell's experiment, the thing that really gave Shen Yunhong a sense of accomplishment was that he connected with a non-governmental earth defense group called the Earth Savers Alliance. The group's founder, an English doctor, discovered the secrets of the resurrected through clinical observation of a terminally ill patient, and has been hunted down ever since.
He was also a key member of a privately initiated association of cancer patients in the United Kingdom, through which he not only saved his life, but also developed a group of volunteers against alien invasions in the United Kingdom, thus establishing the Earth Rescuers Alliance.
Many of those volunteers were foreigners, and when they brought their messages back to their home countries, they were quickly responded to by their own people. They recruited people through the establishment of the "League of Rescuers" website, which at first only joined ordinary people, and then attracted the attention of many scholars and professionals who called them civilian guerrillas more appropriately than the regular army.
Because the website is not private, in order to prevent the infiltration of the resurrected, they generally do not accept applications from people with a history of severe illness, but in order to avoid discrimination and give enough respect to patients, for some who insist on joining, they will also conduct strict background checks, and then make the final decision by member voting. Therefore, although the Earth Rescuer Alliance has been established for more than 30 years and has not had any major troubles, the crackdown on the resurrected has increased day by day, and it has assisted the police in smashing many possible terrorist attack plots around the world.
Shen Yunhong was joined by the head of the Chinese branch of the Earth Savers Alliance, a private owner named Hao Yun. Hao Yun is a standard Beijinger, more talkative than Powell, and when he saw Shen Yunhong, he regarded him as a big brother he had known for many years.
Hao Yun showed Shen Yunhong the information he had collected over the years about the various disasters caused by the resurrected, many of which were similar to the leakage of nuclear power plants or the crash of civilian airliners, each of which was an inevitable disaster, but in fact these people were secretly infiltrating and destroying.
There is something that makes Shen Yunhong very strange, those patients who "come back from the dead" are basically ordinary people who do nothing before they get sick, and many of them have not even reached a high level of Chinese, but why after curing the proton people of the dark star, all of them have become experts who understand science and operation? There are even some that can analyze complex scientific principles and apply them to practical activities.
After Hao Yun's explanation, Shen Yunhong understood the way that the scientific walkers of the dark matter star controlled the earth - although they could not penetrate the atmosphere, they could use the low density of the atmosphere to change the spectral structure of light when it penetrated the ionosphere, so that it could form holograms, and then reach any place on the earth's surface through the troposphere and stratosphere.
"Those dog-day mongrels are really skilled in the study and use of light to the point of perversion! If that technology were mastered by us humans, we might be able to build a whole new world, and we would never again be threatened by a swarm of particles! These are the original words of Hao Yun when he was filled with righteous indignation.
