38. Father's watch
The anomaly of the watch is that there are no hands on the dial, and the time cannot be read when the light is slightly dim, and only when the sun is pointed can you see two extremely thin beams of light representing the second and hour hands moving at normal speed. As for the minute hand, it probably doesn't exist.
To the average person, they will think of a new electronic technology that uses the phenomenon of sunlight refraction and uses two beams of light as a pointer, but those who know a little about the principles of physics can see that it is actually a certain energy hidden in the watch movement that is excited by strong light, revealing a specific shape.
Yun Shen is a Stanford University majoring in biological sciences, with a specific focus on the neural composition of the biological brain. But because of this watch, she developed a strong interest in space physics, and for no apparent reason, she combined the structure of the watch with some mysterious energy in the universe.
This is a bold idea, in order to verify the authenticity, she once asked a fellow physics student to help and took her to the Hasten physics laboratory to test the watch.
First, they illuminate the dial with artificial bright light, assuming that the hands will appear properly. However, this assumption was quickly falsified, the artificial light intensity was not weaker than the visible light of the sun, the dial did not react, and the time hand did not appear.
The most plausible explanation for the failure of the experiment is that the spectral composition of the material embedded in the core receives only sunlight, and the dispersion test of artificial strong light also shows that there are slight differences in the multichromatic structure of the two types of light.
Shen Yun also wanted to further analyze the influence of the sun's invisible light - infrared light and ultraviolet light on the watch, but it was too much to be discovered, so she had to put the plan on hold for the time being.
This particular watch comes from Shen Yun's father, General Shen Yunhong. This was a birthday gift given to Shen Yun by her father on her fifteenth birthday.
On that day, as soon as the birthday cake was put on the table, the telephone bell rang in a hurry, and my father received a notice from the military department about the urgent task of Daliang Mountain, and he must immediately set off to lead the troops into the mountain.
Simply pack up, and my father is leaving. Before leaving, he stretched out his arms and took her and his sister into his arms, and tears flowed down his eyes.
His father had a strong will as steel, and the tribulations of life were like drops of water dripping into the soil to him, and soon there were no water marks on the surface. People who rarely show their emotions suddenly show reluctance to their daughters, and Shen Yun feels ominous in her heart, but she knows that even if she asks, she will definitely not be able to ask the truth, because secrecy is the duty of a soldier, and as a senior army officer, his father will always regard the duties of a soldier as more important than life.
When Shen Yunhong's back was about to disappear from sight, Shen Yun cried and chased after him. The general stopped, did not shed any more tears, only whispered in his daughter's ear: "Protect that watch, don't give it to anyone, and when the critical moment of human fate comes, you and your sister can live on it." ”
Fifteen-year-old Shen Yun heard these words as if she was falling into a fog, and she stupidly wanted to ask more, but the military jeep that came to pick up her father had disappeared around the corner of the street, leaving only the white smoke and the pungent smell of gasoline that had not had time to disperse, just like the magician of fate, who made another wonderful performance on the stage of life.
Later, according to his father's instructions, Shen Yun was indeed inseparable from the watch, and even pressed it under the pillow when he slept. She cherished this watch so much, not because she saved her life when the fate of mankind was at a turn, but because she missed her father. As soon as I see the watch, my father's voice and smile will come to mind.
One night three years ago, my sister Shen Yin asked a few good sisters to go out to sing K, and before leaving, she clamored to borrow her sister's watch, because the style of the watch matched her little sister's outfit quite well.
When Shen Yin was five years old, she fell in love with a pair of pink ballet shoes and began to learn ballet. But just five years later, she gave up ballet with the same dedication and switched to modern dance. She was only ten years old when her father died, and in the years that followed, Shen Yun loved her as much as she could, but unfortunately her sister's love could not replace her parents' love no matter what.
Like many fatherless and motherless orphans, Shen Yin became extremely rebellious after entering puberty, not only did she have fewer and fewer topics to talk about with Shen Yun, but also ridiculed her as an old woman who was abandoned by the new era and never wanted by anyone. Shen Yun tried her best to pull her to the right road, but she still couldn't stop her from hanging out in nightclubs often.
The younger sister wanted to wear her father's relics to the entertainment venue, but of course Shen Yun resolutely refused. Shen Yin failed to do so, and left in a huff after falling and beating at home. After she walked for almost an hour, Shen Yun found that her watch was gone.
At that time, Shen Yun's heart seemed to be drained of blood, and the whole person was in extreme panic. She went crazy and desperately dialed Shen Yin's mobile phone, no one answered at first, but then finally got through, and the person who answered the phone was a man, saying that Shen Yin took their goods and didn't give money, and the person was now lying in the alley at the back door of the KK bar.
Take the goods and don't give money? What is he referring to? Is it a drug?
When Shen Yun took a taxi to the back alley of KK Bar, she dragged her numb legs out of the car, which had been cordoned off by the police as a murder scene.
Shen Yin's delicate body was contained in a zippered black body bag, and a pair of big eyes couldn't be closed. When she died, she was like a dancing doll falling into a music box, and even if she tightened the bottom of the box, she would never be able to dance to the music again.
In the police station, the chubby female police officer looked apologetic. Although she sympathized with Shen Yun's plight, she had to refuse her request to retrieve her sister's relics. Shen Yin's death is a criminal case, and the relics have to be collected as evidence, and even if the case is over, she can't get it back.
So his father's relics became his sister's relics, and they were left in the evidence showroom of the police station forever, and Shen Yun no longer expected to be lost and regained.
However, one afternoon a few days ago, while she was preparing the script, the doorman called to inform her that someone was waiting for her, and that the person had promised to hand over something very important to her.
Coming to the communication room downstairs of the broadcasting building, Shen Yun met a country man in his early fifties, dressed in shabby clothes and with a tired face. She had never dealt with such a person, and she was surprised to hear that she had come to find her.
The country man claimed to be surnamed Chen, called Chen Tongzhong, and traveled thousands of miles from Heilongjiang to Beijing just to hand her a brown paper bag. Shen Yun took the paper bag, feeling heavy, and suddenly felt uneasy in her heart, and didn't dare to open it easily. The world is not very peaceful these days, and if the bag is full of bombs or biochemical viruses, her rashness may kill many people.
Chen Tongzhong saw Shen Yun's concerns, and hurriedly explained that it was a watch, which was entrusted to him by a gentleman in his twenties surnamed Qu.
"Surname Qu? Wristwatch? ”
As soon as she heard Chen Tongzhong's words, Shen Yun chuckled in her heart, and Qu Zhaodi's face that always looked underbeat appeared in her mind.
