After staying here for an afternoon with Fu Yihan, Chu Yanran boarded Zhang Fengyu's ship and prepared to go to the mainland.

Before parting, Chu Yanran repeatedly asked Yihan to protect Ye Xin's body, but Chu Yanran didn't say anything about the exoskeleton that Ye Xin was wearing...... The main thing is that she herself knows the value of that exoskeleton against the mysterious organization behind Yihan.

"Be careful on the road, remember to send me a message when you get to the mainland." Fu Yihan is completely a sister.

Chu Yanran's heart was warm: "Well, you also take care of yourself." ”

"Well, have fun."

Chu Yanran didn't say anything more, she stepped forward and hugged Fu Yihan before entering the cabin.

More than forty years of time have not left much on Zhang Fengyu's face, this man seems to have been frozen by time, he turned around silently, and when he was about to leave, Fu Yihan grabbed his arm and said, "You try not to tell her about Yilin, okay?" ”

Zhang Fengyu looked back at Fu Yihan and nodded silently.

The boat opened, the rotors brought a strong wind, and the hull slowly left the water to reveal three support-like underwater wings, and then when the boat reached a certain height, the wings on both sides unfolded, and in a blink of an eye, a ship became like a seaplane.

But the gyrocopter, called the Silver Falcon, can't really take off, it still has to rely on the wings placed in the water to maintain balance and fly at high speed, but although it doesn't "fly" high enough, it "flies" fast enough.

Chu Yanran, who was sitting in the wheelhouse, was surprised to find that only one minute had passed, and the "Silver Falcon" had accelerated to 594 kilometers per hour, close to Mach 0.5.

And what made Chu Yanran feel even more incredible was that Chu Yanran in the cabin didn't hear the slightest wind noise, and the silence of the whole cabin was amazing.

After sitting in the cabin for a while, Chu Yanran went to the lounge, and as soon as she came in, she saw Zhang Fengyu injecting herself with some kind of reagent.

Seeing this, Chu Yanran hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Are you sick?" ”

Zhang Fengyu shook his head slightly, put away the box after he finished the injection, and then said, "Are you hungry?" I'll make you something to eat? ”

Chu Yanran also shook her head, she said: "When I went to the base, I kept thinking, if it's not 2030, then you should all be old, but I didn't expect it...... It's more complicated than I thought...... Not only Yihan's body hasn't changed much...... You seem to be ...... too."

Zhang Fengyu listened silently, and when he looked at Chu Yanran, his eyes were as gentle as in the past.

Chu Yanran had already noticed this, but the more familiar it was, the more unfamiliar it felt to Chu Yanran...... This tangled emotion mixed so many things into it that she couldn't tell whether the person in front of her was still the one she was familiar with.

"You have changed...... Chu Yanran held Zhang Fengyu's hand, the palm was still wide, but the familiar temperature was gone, and now all that was left was cold.

"Tell me, what the hell happened to you?"

Zhang Fengyu was silent for a while, then withdrew his hand, and then said softly: "I signed an agreement like Yihan and accepted the transformation, which is just one of the costs. ”

Chu Yanran looked at Zhang Fengyu, she understood, and then smiled: "Okay...... Then let's leave you alone for now, let's talk about other people. ”

Zhang Fengyu nodded, and he said, "Okay, but you have to be mentally prepared." ”

Chu Yanran smiled, a very calm smile.

"Hmm."

"So who does it start?"

"From ...... My grandpa started it. ”

……

As one of the main leaders of the Tai Chi project, Chu Hongjun's contribution to the country and even to mankind is huge.

Under the leadership of Chu Hongjun, his Fifth Research Group achieved the first full-power operation of Taiji-3 at around 9 o'clock on April 11, 2035, and successfully completed the synchronous collision of multiple groups of particles to be experimented.

The scientific value of synchronous collisions of identical particles is immeasurable, because once synchronization in a relative sense is achieved, it is possible for mankind to truly glimpse the inner mysteries of quantum and confirm a variety of scientific conjectures based on theory.

Chu Hongjun and his team immediately attracted the world's attention after completing this feat, but the final results of the experiment were not directly announced to the public.

This result soon led to a number of conjectures.

Especially after Chu Hongjun fell ill, negative conjectures began to seize the mainstream public opinion media, and some experts and scholars who opposed the collision experiment even declared that the "end of the world" had arrived.

Faced with this situation, the Chinese side of the National Security Department quickly responded.

At the same time, before further determining the reliability of the experimental results, I also ask all walks of life to remain rational and rationally look at the collision experiment, and not to be used by some people with intentions."

Most of those who care about the results of the experiment are still deeply dissatisfied with this response.

But those grievances don't matter to Chu Hongjun anymore.

His body no longer allows him to pay attention to the world's reactions......

……

The old man on the tombstone was smiling happily, and it was the only one of his few photographs showing a smile.

Chu Yanran's eyes immediately turned red when she saw this photo...... Because she remembers that picture...... It was when she graduated from college, and her grandfather took a photo in front of the school......

But now, the photo is gray, and Chu Hongjun's name is written below "Meritorious through the ages, eternal and eternal, 1960.8-2036.2".

"Grandpa......" Chu Yanran knelt down in front of the tombstone sadly, choking up......

Zhang Fengyu looked at the gray sky, took off his coat and put it on Chu Yanran, and then knelt down like her, quietly looking at the venerable old man who had passed away for many years.

……

Chu Hongjun's cemetery was built on a hillside not far from his hometown, which was selected according to Chu Hongjun's last wishes. Because of its remote location, few people know that such a world-class engineer is buried here, but the flowers in front of the tombstone have not stopped for so many years after the old man left.

After paying tribute to Chu Hongjun, Chu Yanran suddenly felt that death was much closer to her......

It was a strange feeling...... It can only be felt by people who have lost their parents.

This reminded her of that sentence......

Parents are here, and there is still a place to come in life...... Parents go to ...... Then there is only a way back in life......

……

Back in Jinan, Chu Yanran locked her next stop in Xuzhou, and she wanted to go to You Gege's former residence.

……

You Gege's contribution to the world may be far less than that of Chu Hongjun, but her influence on the world is not at all less than Chu Hongjun's, and even more far-reaching.

This is mainly related to You Gege's famous work "Self-Consciousness".

And more specifically...... It is because AOA, who has created several shocking disasters with the purpose of "spurring" the world, has made You Gege's book their belief.

Although the National Security Department has fully proved that there is no direct relationship between You Gege and AOA, the creation of You Gege's "unintentional willows and willows" has also made the National Security Department begin to be vigilant about the evolution of ideas other than scientific and technological progress.

You Gege was also labeled as "extremely dangerous" for a time, and the personnel were closely monitored.

But...... You Gege, who escaped the shock and survived the "cold winter" for ten years, mysteriously disappeared during a major meeting and has not been heard from since.

No one knows where You Gege has gone, and if she is still alive......

But in short, in the past three decades, no one has seen her again.

At the same time, she also disappeared with the outrageous and helpless extremist organization AOA.

This extremist organization, which had caused great trauma to the world and even tried to intimidate all mankind by creating a "nuclear winter", suddenly appeared and disappeared without warning.

……

Now, 29 years after her disappearance, her former home is still in isolation, and from the outside, passers-by who don't know the truth will only think that construction is going on, but when they see the patrols outside the wall, they may realize that this place seems to be more than just construction.

Although Zhang Fengyu's identity is special, and Chu Yanran is You Gege's former partner, the rules are the rules, and no one can enter You Gege's residence.

Although she was a little disappointed, Chu Yanran was quickly relieved...... The main purpose of her coming here is to find the traces that You Gege may have left, but now it seems that since You Gege disappeared, there must be many people who are eager to find her, and if they can't find it, Chu Yanran doesn't feel that she has anything special.

So Chu Yanran shifted her focus from You Gege to several people related to You Gege.

These people include Wang Yi, Liu Panyang, Liu Panyang's sister Liu Yaning, Liu Panyang's daughter Liu Yinrou, and You Gege's student Yan Haowen.

But after understanding, Chu Yanran learned that only Wang Yi, Liu Yaning and Liu Yinrou are still alive.

Liu Panyang died on the job when the blackout broke out, and Yan Haowen died earlier...... And so far it has not been possible to find out who killed Yan Haowen.

Chu Yanran didn't have a deep impression of Liu Panyang, but she had met her once when she attended a seminar in Xuzhou before, but Yan Haowen was a person Chu Yanran who often heard You Gege mention it.

You Gege's evaluation of him is that he is humble and friendly, but he dares to speak and think in theoretical discussions, and some of his opinions are still very unique, and he is a talent that she is very optimistic about.

It's a pity that Chu Yanran didn't have time to meet this Yan Haowen, and the others were already gone.

……

At noon on the 10th, Chu Yanran met Wang Yi with the help of Zhang Fengyu.

Chu Yanran also has an impression of this, because he was once a thorn in the side of feminists and the most controversial "big celebrity" on the Internet.

But when she saw Wang Yi, who is now seventy-nine years old, after more than 40 years, Chu Yanran felt a very unexpected strangeness.

Wang Yi, who is close to eighty years old, is still handsome, his back is also straight, and he looks like a master who has lived in seclusion all year round and pays attention to self-cultivation.
