Boundary Convention

Chapter 7 Silver-plated Time

The Eternal Undead and his party walked a long way. They passed the scattered gravel beach and followed the winding stream to a mountain in the shape of a straw hat.

This is the iconic scenic spot in Iceland - Church Hill.

Mo You told Huang Yuan that the base of the tunnel experiment was hidden here, and ordered Tang Ren to take the undead to guard in front of the mountain, and then he and Huang Mo started looking for the entrance. At this moment, Huangyuan felt a little uneasy in his heart. He raised his eyes and saw the skuas circling in the sky, as if they were soldiers monitoring here.

"Director, can Mo You really find the entrance?" Looking at the suspicious Mo You, Huang Yuan asked in a low voice. "The professor shouldn't let others find out here."

"Don't judge people you don't know." Mo Xiao shrugged slightly.

"But no matter how you look at her, she's just a little girl...even though she's the professor's daughter." Huang Yuan looked at the little girl in front of him, somewhat disbelieving.

"Oh, it seems that you don't have a deep understanding of the concept of genes."

"Genes determine many aspects of human beings, such as personality, intelligence, and longevity, but age is also a factor that cannot be ignored. After all, people are constantly growing."

"You are wrong, nature cannot be changed." Mo Xiao took a deep breath, and began to talk to Huang Yuan.

"When Mo You was very young, the professor tried to let her study in a school affiliated to the GST Group. At the beginning, nothing unusual happened. Mo You was not only smart, but even more well-behaved than other children. A few days later, a girl of Slavic descent in the class had her eyes gouged out after class."

"She did this?" Although Huang Yuan couldn't believe it, a few drops of cold sweat still appeared on his forehead.

"It's not her, could it be me?" Mo Xiao took out a cigarette from his pocket, took a deep breath, and asked back.

Mo You was full of curiosity about everything since she was a child, including herself. She saw a poor Slavic girl in her class whose eyes were like beautiful emeralds, so she stepped forward and asked why her eyes were red. It looked weird, and the girl said it was a natural color and it couldn't be changed. Mo You was surprised after hearing this, and she wondered if there were things in this world that could not be changed.

After class, she strangled the girl, and then used the compasses in her hand to goug out her eyes, trying to replace them for herself. This incident alarmed the whole school. People from the GST security department arrived later, while Mo You stood there with her eyeballs in her hand, at a loss. No matter how the girl cried and shouted, there was no trace of sympathy in her eyes. Asked "How can I change her eyeballs into mine?"

The security department immediately took Mo You away. But they knew that this was the professor's daughter, and no one could punish her except the professor. It is said that later, the professor specially formed a team to transplant advanced prosthetic eyes to the Slavic girl.

"That girl is so pitiful." Huang Yuan sighed.

"Everyone in the GST group has some background. The girl's family is not ordinary. Later, she took the girl and left the group without hearing from him. However, this feud is forged with the Mo family."

"Didn't the professor punish Mo You? Or try to change her."

"All I know is that the professor arranged a housekeeper for her, that is, Director Tang, and then ordered that no one is allowed to teach Mo You knowledge. Simple addition and subtraction are not allowed, oh yes, including writing."

This is the first time Huangyuan understands Mo You from this angle. Through Mo Xiao's description, he can confirm that Mo You is different from ordinary people in thinking. This girl is born without human emotions and moral standards, even to a certain extent. The tyranny of the world.

"It's disgusting." Huang Yuan couldn't help but sighed. "Such a child is simply a devil."

"Yeah, you have to know that my sister has been like this since she was a child. She wants to have what other people have. Not only is Mo You's IQ much higher than ordinary people, but she is also very good at disguising her true thoughts. When she wants to harm someone, she They will bury their shady reasons very deep." Mo Xiao glanced at Mo You, who was searching for the entrance, from the corner of his corner of the eye as he spoke. "Although the professor doesn't tell her anything, she must have done a lot of tricks behind her back. As for how much she knows, I don't know. After all, even I have only seen the manuscript a few times, let alone Mo You .”

"But you saw through these after all." Huang Yuan replied with a smile.

During the conversation between the two, Mo You led everyone to the unknown entrance of the base. After bypassing a huge basalt rock, only a weather-beaten stone tablet appeared as a marked entrance.

Probably because there are many solar panels and geothermal generators hidden in the hills, the electronic lock at the entrance of the base can still be used, and Moyou took out an artificial finger from his pocket.

"I didn't expect you to get the professor's fingerprints. You shouldn't be able to get close to the professor at all. How did you do that?" Mo Xiao exclaimed.

"Hee hee, when I was just learning to speak, one night I took advantage of her to hug me to sleep, stuck it out with tape, and then tinkered with rubber. This thing will come in handy sooner or later." Mo You said with a smile .

"That's your mother, not your enemy..." Huang Yuan muttered softly.

With the sound of the gas valve, warm gas gushed out from inside the base, and the rising white mist rushed into the air and turned into a skull-like air mass. Mixed with the unpleasant musty smell, it's hard to imagine what else of value could be left inside the base.

The three of them entered the base, and the water vapor dissipated. When the indoor scene gradually became clear, Mo Xiao found that the layout here was the same as that in the library, the only difference was the chilling atmosphere.

Helium lamps are hung on the high dome, the slings are creaking due to the surging wind, the sound of dripping water can be faintly heard from the depths of the base, faint water traces outline the seams of the walls, It is dotted with slightly red moss, which seems to be a creation watered with human blood. The faint mountain-shaped signs in the distant mist seem to describe the connection between oneself and a certain mountain.

Dead silence.

That word is probably the most apt description here. There are no signs of living things in the entire base, some are just reports scattered on the ground, some are stained with brown coffee stains, and some still have scarlet bloody handprints. What I saw in front of me seemed to be a change in the interior, and everything was covered with a breath of death.

"It took me three years to finally find you. Mom, I didn't expect that your final choice would be here." Looking at the scene in front of her, Mo You couldn't help but sigh with emotion. "Beyond the panic and the penance of death, there is an enchanted sense of stillness that is..."

"After the Kunlun base was destroyed, the professor hid here for a while, and she wanted to continue her experiments." Mo Xiao was walking around the room with a flashlight. "This place is almost built according to the blueprint. I recognize the metal high platform for shock absorption on the opposite side, and these special curved dome structures are used to confine free particles."

"Sister, where do you think she will hide her secrets, text or images? Or other media." Mo You suddenly stopped Mo Xiao.

"Oh, you haven't spoken to me in this tone for a long time, but I can't answer this question. From the perspective of a professor, she can be hidden in the computer code, or placed directly under the toilet seat, depending on Who the professor doesn't want to find out."

Speaking of this, the two tacitly said in unison: "People from the supervisory committee."

For the rare tacit understanding between the two sisters, the wilderness on the side seemed to turn a blind eye, just staring at the seemingly flat floor under their feet. After a long silence, he said, "Director, the ground here seems to be inclined."

After speaking, the wilderness seemed not very sure, walking around while talking, trying to prove his conjecture. "The foundation is sinking?!" Mo You said with a hint of uneasiness in his tone, "It's not going to collapse here." "The professor will not allow this kind of thing to happen," Mo Xiao said from the mechanical arm beside him. Roughly removed the round bearing, then took it off and placed it on the ground. Sure enough, there was a small slope on the ground, and the balls placed on the ground began to slowly roll towards the wall in front of the wasteland. It was as if there was a thin thread pulling the ball, and finally stopped in an area with few scattered documents. "Hiding in this way? What is the professor thinking?" Mo Xiao stroked the smooth wall with his hands, trying to find a mechanism that could be opened. "According to the height of the professor, I guess there must be a switch nearby." Start it." Just as Mo Xiao thought, the seemingly smooth wall was covered with metal, and after the button is opened, it will be a different start switch, but the correct password must be entered.

"God, if you can't crack this mechanism, just guessing, who knows what the old man is thinking," Mo You leaned against the wall a little discouraged.

"Maybe the password is 123456, and if you enter it wrong, it may activate a self-destruct program," Mo Xiao echoed.

"Um, the two of you just said that the professor doesn't want anyone to find it, that is to say, maybe the professor wants someone to find it?" Huang Yuan said.

"you mean……"

Huang Yuan turned his head to look at the mechanism, and entered 000841 on the electronic screen next to him, which was Huang Yuan's ID number in the library, and the mechanism started to rotate after making a strange noise.

"Wait...Damn! Are you her illegitimate child!" Mo You, who was next to her, asked in surprise, while Mo Xiao was thoughtful and did not speak.

As the wall slowly moved back, the violent wind carried the documents scattered on the ground and flew up, all of them poured into the dark dark room. The furnishings in the room are very in line with the taste of the professor. The minimalist desk is equipped with a European-style sofa, and there are various research reports along the bottom of the cabinet. There are even charcoal pencils placed on the side for ready use. Mo You couldn't wait to rush in and start searching, and soon found a simple diary with the outline of a bust of a man printed on its cover. She raised her hand: "Is this it?"

"This is a notepad issued to employees by the previous generation of GST. On the cover is the user's DNA identification system, which is more reliable than face recognition. However, this regulation was inexplicably abolished later, and GST no longer issued such a notebook to employees. Notepad, I guess the professor is afraid that someone will do tricks behind his back." Mo Xiao said while wiping the notepad.

"That is to say, only the professor can open this diary, alas, then why should we bother, let's burn it," Mo You replied.

"Wait, there's a man's silhouette printed on it, will this kind of notebook be divided into genders on the decoration?" Huang Yuan leaned forward to take a look.

"Yes, there will be a difference in image for women." Mo Xiao said.

"I deduce that this diary should belong to the professor's father, and then it was passed to the professor. Maybe the program in it has been changed..." Huang Yuan picked up the diary and handed it to Mo You, "The blood of the Mo family, try it Bar."

Sure enough, after Mo You took the diary, the outline on the cover shone brightly, and with the sound of gears turning, the diary was opened.

Mo Xiao couldn't help laughing at himself: "Oh, the professor still doesn't treat me like his own daughter."

Ignoring what Mo Xiao said next to him, Mo You nervously opened the diary: "I pray that I don't have a role in this."

Time went back to the sealed memory of 20 years ago.

...

I couldn't believe my ears, just now the observatory received the first set of regular electromagnetic wave signals, and the regularity even surpassed the WOW signal. The 'music' that echoed in the universe like an eighth note actually lasted for an hour in that unobserved frequency band.

Although astronomical agencies around the world believe that this is a misjudgment caused by the wrong return data from the International Space Station, I firmly believe that this is a sign that extraterrestrial civilizations want to get in touch with the earth.

I'm going to try to prove it, to prove it to my father.

...

July 20, 2053

...

As I thought, this is completely the signal sent by extraterrestrial civilizations to the earth, and it is the preamble of the channel occupation, used to tell humans that they are about to communicate with us, and even the encoding method is the same as that of the travelers back then The golden record carried by the number is exactly the same.

Uncle Chen Yang and those scientists who were not reused by GST will assist me. Now the opportunity is in front of me, and the opportunity to explore the truth of the universe is in front of me.

...

August 5, 2053

Today I met with the first batch of recruited researchers. It seems that they are all researchers from top institutions, but their vision is still somewhat narrow. They are too entangled in the so-called implementability. I believe that the lack of talent can be made up by a lot of experiments.

I am relieved that more and more people will join in the research, and I need to plan a new research site in the future.

...

August 27, 2053

Today's experiment didn't make too many breakthroughs, but there were new discoveries in the detection signal. Recently, as long as the angle of the antenna is adjusted, the same signal will always be received in a certain frequency band. Moreover, the amplitude of these signals is increasing linearly, it seems that the real information is about to reach the earth.

To be honest, the number of researchers has exceeded my expectations. It seems that the research site needs to be expanded in advance. I want to choose my father's hometown to give new vitality to the old-fashioned city.

...

October 21, 2053

Let's call the new city Dyson's Bay, I decided the name Freeman Dyson would be a good fit for the city.

I'm so tired, I'm craving steak, and I hope the asparagus will be fried better today.

...

Looking at this diary, Mo Xiao seemed to have come into contact with another side of the professor for the first time. Rather than saying that this is a diary that records various scientific research experiments, it is more like a personal diary that records the professor's thoughts.

In Mo Xiao's view, even a few words in the diary can read the environment and mood of the professor at that time.

Unfortunately, the later pages were somehow torn out, so they had no idea what else the Professor was up to during his first days at Dyson's Cove. But what is certain is that the professor's goal of pursuing the truth of the universe has never changed.

January 18, 2054

There is basically nothing special today, and the test equipment is functioning normally. I haven't seen Ruoyue all day, and I don't know how many prisoners have been interrogated. However, having said that, strange remarks began to spread in the research team, and it seemed that everyone was too easily disturbed by emotions. Some people's structure is too small, small people party but not group.

I need to find a way to solve this problem.

...

June 13, 2054

The signal from the extraterrestrial civilization to the earth has undergone the greatest change in history, from the initial change in the rules of channel construction to a meaningful shock code. Moreover, this group of signals has been detected almost all over the world, even affecting the mice in the biology laboratory.

A researcher reported that after receiving this set of mutation signals, a mouse passed the maze box once without induction.

I need to dig into this phenomenon.

...

October 30, 2054

All the research during this period was in vain. The electromagnetic signal interference on Dyson Bay is too serious. The current impact code is just a countdown. According to this situation, if more information is transmitted, it will be overwhelmed sooner or later.

Some words that I don't like to hear came out of the group again, huh, the Dunkeld family still hasn't been killed.

...

November 12, 2054

The people in the casino are really boring, do I need to play tricks to achieve card counting? There are no truly random numbers in computers at all, they just have a longer period.

It doesn't matter if you don't mention it, it's just entertainment anyway.

...

December 30, 2054

The fruit these days is really unpalatable. If it wasn't for the good movie, I might yell and kill the fruit farmers who produce this disgusting thing immediately.

To be honest, the world view formed in the movie is quite interesting, especially the exploration of the Creator. I don't know if this signal we received came from another ancient civilization, it would be great if that is the case.

...

Seeing this, Mo Xiao was almost surrounded by a lot of daily and scientific research content of the professor. During this year, she witnessed the professor cracking the secrets from the depths of the universe while climbing the ladder of power.

Just when Mo Xiao was about to skip this period of time and read the rest, the content of the diary changed dramatically. The source of the change was that the professor officially received the first meaningful signal, to be precise, it was a preface.

【Log content】

January 12, 2055

It is unbelievable that the observatory received a complete signal of extraterrestrial civilization in the same frequency band. It took them a year to learn the language in the Voyager 1 Golden Record, and broadcast a reminder in French, English, and Chinese that humans need to establish inter-dimensional communication technology as soon as possible, and attached a single word—" CELL (cell)".

If so, then I need to speed up my plan, I can't pass up this opportunity!

...

April 7, 2055

The significance of forming an army is to reduce useless social interactions. To be honest, I really don't like dealing with certain heads of state.

...

May 29, 2055

I haven't had a pair in a month, neither in hand nor flop, which is weird. Forget it, it's nothing more than losing some money, let Ruoyue figure out a way later.

...

June 10, 2055

There is always a faint fruity fragrance on Ruoyue's body, she is playing hard-to-get tricks to let me release my sensibility, give me a little more before I am addicted to it, I won't feel too much.

I love waking up to my scented self.

...

July 3, 2055

There is nothing special today, Ruoyue is not around, and she is going to interrogate the prisoner again. Some demonstrators suddenly appeared at the gate of the group. It was because of that incident. It has been so many years. What's the point? , If it’s useless, kill it. I just want to eat a steak and have a good sleep. I’m so tired from work these days.

...

Huang Yuan, who was watching with relish, couldn't help feeling: "Professors are recording less and less trivial things in life."

Mo Xiao smiled and said nothing, she also found this point, as the signal became clearer, the professor's attention was gradually occupied by power and seeking the truth, and he even seldom went to the casino. Of course, it's a different matter if the professor didn't record this.

And the professor’s way of eliminating dissidents is the word “kill”. Obviously, the professor gained the power of the sky during the time in Dyson Bay, and the influence of the GST Group seems to have reached its peak. In history, I am afraid that only the East India Company It can be compared with it, and the source of these propulsion is probably not only the professor's progress in scientific research, but also the ever-growing mining ice business.

October 13, 2056

A new research site has been selected - Kunlun Mountain, which is simply an excellent isolation experiment site. After getting rid of the light pollution of Dyson Bay, we will definitely be able to obtain a clearer signal.

The people who supported me basically voted for it, and it is basically certain that the gang of old diehards have lost all the right to speak in the group. Then, I can devote myself to research.

Kunlun Mountain will allow human beings to break away from communication barriers and communicate with extraterrestrial civilizations, and become a way to connect the two. So let's call it a tunnel.

...

November 24, 2056

My father and I were getting closer and closer to parting, and I was terrified.

...

February 10, 2057

I'm pregnant, and I feel a little guilty about it, I'm sorry for that man.

...

October 31, 2057

On the eve of Halloween, my baby was born. I don't want this little guy to be disturbed by all the outside world. I hope she can live a carefree life. Mo Xiao has also made great achievements in academics, and I am very pleased.

...

November 31, 2057

The tunnel base in Kunlun Mountain is about to be completed, and it is finally possible to have a dialogue with the civilization deep in the universe. The signal is getting stronger and stronger, just like Wakatsuki and all of them said, only by moving forward by any means can the tunnel experiment be 100% operational.

Only in this way can I prove my point to my father.

I will go to Kunlun Mountain in a few days, I hope Tang Ren can take good care of Mo You.

...

October 28, 2058

It will be Mo You's birthday in a few days. I didn't expect that the set of signals changed again today. If I guessed correctly, that set of signals is heralding the real information that is coming!

In the end, the remaining old antiques can no longer control the current situation, and the tunnel base in Kunlun Mountain will definitely be more perfect. Now they are talking about those meaningless arguments, obviously implying to me that they have lost the initiative to attack, and the reason for avoiding responsibility in order to protect the future of mankind can also be said. Looks like I'm about to make a final purge.

I must not miss this opportunity, as Wakatsuki and the others said, I need to increase the intensity of the tunnel experiment. I must contact this gravitational civilization as soon as possible, and this message clearly points us to the path of dialogue.

As I thought, "CELL" is the key to unlocking the secrets of the universe!

...

August 17, 2067

Maybe my previous life lived in the sea, goodbye, my father.

...

"Director, did the professor change the diary?" Huang Yuan asked Mo Xiao, who was flipping through the follow-up diary quickly. "I'll go over there and see if there are any other leads."

The diary came to an abrupt end here, and the professor left an intriguing sentence. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the diary was just a fragment. As the surface of the paper became smooth, many contents had disappeared. At first glance, it seems that the professor did not continue to record what happened at the tunnel base, and he didn't even record the content of the dialogue on extraterrestrial civilizations. What happened to the professor became a question.

At this time, Huang Yuan and Mo Xiao were helpless, and at the moment when they were about to touch the truth, a seemingly insurmountable mountain appeared in front of them.

"Is this silver-plated paper?" Mo Xiao twirled the smooth paper with his fingers and said to himself doubtfully, "Wilderland, go and get the purple light table over there, it's the device that looks like a clip, I thought that It's just a decoration, I didn't expect the professor to use this method to hide the second half of the log."

Huang Yuan hurriedly fetched the inconspicuous little clip on the workbench and handed it to Mo Xiao. Just as Mo Xiao thought, when he clipped the Ziguang Table to the page of the book, the decoding of the diary started immediately.

The original smooth silver-plated paper gradually became gray and white like a genetic map. After another round of scanning by the Ziguang Station, the other end of the small clip projected a dark green log interface in front of Mo Xiao. The original physical log became a holographic projection under the influence of the silver-plated paper.

Under the interpretation of Ziguangtai, the small protrusions representing the changes of 01 on the paper gradually returned to the hidden content. The characters suspended in the air together constitute an interactive log. The original linear time is no longer linear at this moment. Like a library, all the important content keeps emerging from the page, and the terrible past is once again unfolded in front of everyone.

November 16, 2058

We have received the information about the convention issued by the gravitational civilization. We don’t know whether it is a blessing or a curse. It is also difficult to understand what the so-called joining means. I'd love to know the meaning behind it, but unfortunately the signal has ended there. However, this also reminds me that the gravitational civilization will lead mankind to a new platform, and I must seize this opportunity and seize the opportunity to make mankind move forward again.

...

June 23, 2059

The information released by the gravitational civilization back then is almost untraceable from the source, not even a bit of spectrum shift, and the Doppler effect has lost its effect at this moment. The information about the convention seemed to appear out of thin air. I must seize the time to study how they did it. Only in this way can I have a dialogue with them again.

As Wakatsuki said, only I can fulfill my father's wish now, and only by seizing this opportunity can human beings be promoted!

...

March 24, 2060

Sure enough, the initial "CELL" is the key, and the gravitational civilization has already looked at the current universe from a higher level. Then to have a dialogue with them, we must have the same conditions. I need a more radical way to achieve this, using a real advanced creature composed of "CELL".

...

July 9, 2063

My health is getting worse and worse, I'm very tired, and speaking of which, I haven't shown up in the group for a long time.

...

December 8, 2065

Damn hacker, actually froze all my bank cards! I don't know who lent him the courage to make such a joke with me, I want Ruoyue to catch this group of people, and then skin him!

...

January 24, 2066

I will not have any further conversations with Chen Yang until the experiment is successful.

The secrets of the universe lie ahead, within easy reach.

...

April 13, 2066

The experiment was a success! as I expected,

We only need to create a dimensional bubble, let the objects leave the space first through this bubble, and then exocytose like cells, the bubbles enter the gap between dimensions and re-merge above the destination, and finally realize the rapid development of this space transfer.

So that's why we have no way to trace back to the source of the convention, because at that time, it seemed to us that the information appeared on top of our heads out of thin air.

I was so excited, the experimental subject appeared at the designated place, although the specific location was a bit problematic, but he was still embedded in the wall, and he was much older. For the experiment, this is a milestone achievement, which means that we can have a dialogue with the gravitational civilization!

...

May 6, 2067

Why is this happening! The experiment will fail for no reason, why! Why did the bubble collapse at a critical moment, obviously the father's coffin should be sent to another dimension together. The sudden collapse of the bubbles was completely different from previous experiments, and even affected the few researchers present.

In the end, there were no remains.

...

June 19, 2067

The archaeological team from the supervisory committee entered my base, they claimed to have found something in the mountains, I am not interested in archeology, no one cares what they dig up, let them go.

...

July 10, 2067

The third test is ready, and then only a few qualified subjects need to be selected. No words can describe my emotions at this moment, the excitement of being about to touch the secret of the universe. I will let my father see all this. Although his body has disappeared and his soul does not know where to go, I want this sense of ritual.

However, it seems that the supervisory committee has discovered the problem of the failure of the tunnel base experiment. Even though they are afraid of me now, I still need to think about how to deal with it. And recently some people have been trying to inquire about the situation here, it seems that I need to take Ruoyue's suggestion.

...

September 15, 2067

I started the "Hourglass Project" and put this device called an hourglass around the necks of my three children. Hourglass can monitor them at any time and remind them what not to do when necessary, which can not only prevent them from accessing more confidential information, but also protect their personal safety.

...

"Fart!" Mo Xiao blurted out when he saw this, "It's clearly because he was afraid that we would betray her at that time!"

"However... it seems that you have not been greatly affected?" Huang Yuan asked.

"Of course!" Mo You came over at some point and said triumphantly. "Lake cracked that thing easily, and I heard that the structure of this thing is very simple, just a rough imitation of some kind of space-time technology."

"Yes, I also agree with this point of view, otherwise the four entropy stones would not easily reverse the device to make it fail." Mo Xiao subconsciously clutched his chest tightly to protect the seemingly empty hole. "As for Ingolf, I think it is easy to find someone to help crack it with his talent. I think Zwingli is the perfect person for this someone."

While everyone was discussing the Hourglass Project, the diary jumped to a new page, and the story told on this page was beyond everyone's imagination, and too much of the content described in it deviated from common sense.

December 21, 2067

I can't tell now if what I saw last night was a dream or reality.

The entire tunnel is covered with dark green slime, and all subatomic particles fall from the dome as if passing through jelly, and make strange noises when they hit the ground, just like the convention they received at the beginning.

The people who died in the experiment also appeared in mid-air, their eyes were only dark, their distorted faces gradually dissolved in the air, and finally turned into some twinkling star clusters.

I didn't see my father, where the hell did he go?

Just now, this scene appeared in my office again. Whispering voices echoed in the small space. I couldn't tell whether these voices came from the memory palace or not. But one thing I can be sure of is that these sounds all come from the top of my head, as if someone deliberately used dimensional bubbles to project these sounds above my head.

I saw myself in a dirty lake with crows and insects eating my flesh. I need to evacuate from here as soon as possible, Obsidian Beach, where my destiny lies.

...

The log ends without warning.

"So, the professor ran away afterwards?" Huang Yuan broke the silence and took the diary handed over by Mo Xiao. "What about the tunnel experiment?"

Mo You put down the collected manuscripts and said firmly, "It must be God's guidance! It's the same as what I heard."

Mo Xiao sneered: "I didn't have access to this information at all back then, but now it seems that there should be some things we don't know about."

Mo Xiao unscrupulously stepped on the manuscripts on the ground, making a rustling sound, but she didn't seem to have much interest in these discarded manuscripts, but instead kept her eyes on the fluorescent spots deep in the base. With the sound of water droplets hitting the stone, the spots swayed rhythmically in the dark depths.

Under the illumination of the flashlight, its original appearance was exposed in the dark depths. At first glance, it seemed to be a military base for researching high-tech.

The blue-gray cement pillars reach the dome and are covered with scratches. The ground is covered with neatly arranged optical cables connecting various servers. The rivet chassis stands at the end of the line of sight. There are trolleys piled up with lab coats all around. Between the trolleys Linked by plastic chains with flecks of fluorescent light. Army-green plastic film covers the electronic picture tube that is prone to dust, and the steam will cover the deeper depths tightly.

"You are really sure." Mo You handed the crystal core he just found to Mo Xiao for identification. "Although it does resemble her style, it's so dilapidated that I doubt there's anything left."

"It doesn't matter if you can find the test traces or not." Mo Xiao turned on the flashlight and continued to go deeper. On the wall behind him was a DNA helix composed of scattered dots that was about to disappear. "The most important thing is what else was discovered after the professor was found and caused her to suddenly leave her scientific kingdom and abdicate her throne at GST."

"Could it be that there is something wrong with the Hourglass Project?" Huang Yuan looked at the log carefully and threw out his own guess. "From the log, the professor doesn't seem to notice anything unusual about you."

"Of course we cracked it quietly in private, and of course there will be no problems." Mo You said confidently.

"I think the professor still understands our little trick." Mo Xiao's voice also came from the depths of the tunnel. "Speaking of which, I have almost nothing here, all broken monitoring equipment and scattered manuscripts. It will take a long time to sort it out. Wasteland, please help me!"

Before Huang Yuan got up, white noise echoed in his mind, just like when an old TV could not receive a signal, the difference was that the flickering snowflake noise seemed to dynamically present a certain pattern.

Huang Yuan quickly picked up a piece of waste paper on the ground and began to draw: "Director, that voice came again with pictures."

Mo Xiao hurried back from the depths. The wasteland in front of her was the same as usual, but because she needed to grasp the inspiration and kept drawing, her forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

"He seems to be drawing a floor plan?" Mo You poked his head over to see Huang Yuan's brushwork clearly. "Hey, what are you drawing?"

Mo Xiao pulled Mo You over and said with a hint of warning: "Don't disturb him, do you want others to disturb you when you are acting like a demon?"

Obviously, Mo You didn't like this analogy of Mo Xiao, but Huang Yuan was really immersed in his own art world, so he didn't pay attention to Mo You at all.

In this way, Wasteland drew one after another, so that there was a steady stream of paper on the ground for him to draw on.

There are more and more paintings scattered around the wasteland. At first, they were more of the top view of the building, and later, there are more and more detailed patterns inside the building. Mo Xiao squatted aside and picked up one of the sketches to look at, and found that the wasteland was indeed drawing the blueprint of a certain building, but it was divided due to the limited frame size.

So, Mo Xiao pieced together one picture after another, and soon the architectural blueprint drawn by the wasteland was completely presented on the ground, which looked even more mysterious under the flickering light of the fire.

In the square building design that runs through the mountain, only the rear of this building has support columns, and the front entrance is almost an open space outlined by a dome. In contrast, the rear is the main operating place. The support column divides the rear into several independent areas. According to the trend of the wires, it is not difficult to see that the organic unit server also has a detection and observation area.

Seeing this, Mo Xiao suddenly raised his head to confirm the surrounding environment, and then told him intuitively that the blueprint seemed to describe the place they were in, the Icelandic base, but this kind of design was basically adopted by many military bases, so she had no choice but to continue to piece together A painting of the wasteland.

But then it fell into a stalemate. The remaining drawings basically had no logical relationship. It can be said that no standard reference could be found. Seeing this, Mo You also joined in the jigsaw puzzle. As expected, they could only piece together a circular structure, which was completely inconsistent with the base in front of them. But a strong sense of déjà vu lingered in everyone's minds. Although the picture in their hands indicated that the circular structure was located under the square building, the entrance was not marked, but an icon was used instead.

Beads of sweat from the wilderness slid from her cheeks and dripped onto the drawing on the ground. Mo Xiao wondered how long he would last if he hadn't eaten dinner. Suddenly, she found a very familiar pattern on the drawing stained with sweat—— —In the circle is the DNA helix composed of scattered points.

Mo Xiao stood up abruptly, making Mo You, who was watching secretly, jump in fright. Afterwards, Mo Xiao turned on the flashlight and rushed not far away, pointing to the icon on the drawing to search for something: "The icon I saw just now!"

"Could it be another kind of déjà vu of yours?" Mo You asked after brushing off the dust from her body.

"No, I'm sure I saw it." Mo Xiao said while shining his flashlight on the surrounding walls.

Before Mo You could complain again, Mo Xiao pointed out the pattern with the flashlight, and at the place where she had spoken and stood earlier, under the light of the flashlight, the original scattered dots and elongated shadows jointly restored the complete DNA helix structure.

Mo Xiao shook the flashlight to confirm the drawings and the patterns on the wall, and said with a little excitement: "This is the place, the hidden entrance marked on the map is here."

Suddenly, there was a burst of fluorescence in Mo Xiao's body, followed by a violent vibration of the entire base, the old transmission was slowly recovering, the DNA icon began to roll to the side, and the hidden stone door faded to reveal a downward direction. entrance.

"Haha, sister, you finally stopped hiding it. You used this thing to cause the explosion in the library, but you were a little short of killing the professor." Mo You looked at the alienated Mo Xiao and sneered.

"Heh, it's not thanks to you and Lake. I have always treated other people as guinea pigs. I never thought that you two would treat me as guinea pigs."

"Haha, I didn't admit that I or Lake were the ones who pushed you down the ice cave, but we are indeed your saviors."

"Shut up, I don't have time to settle old debts with you," Mo Xiao replied harshly.

The light emitted from Mo Xiao's body became more and more intense, the monitoring equipment on the ground started up one after another, and the unpleasant smell of ozone came from the depths of the tunnel, and the flickering light spots indicated that the servers had started to work. The holographic projection marked the name of the entrance——

"Tunnel Test Entrance Zero"

"Could it be that the professor knew about the existence of the four entropy stones back then?" Mo Xiao's vibrating pupils stared at the line marked. "Under our feet is the tunnel device."

The ground was still trembling violently, as if a behemoth that had been sleeping for a long time was waking up.

"Mom actually moved the tunnel installation from Kunlun Mountain here." Mo You couldn't help but sigh.

"Wait, she's hiding here?!" Huang Yuan suddenly realized something. "Director! Stop!"
