Chapter 155 Uninvited Guests
"What on earth is that thing in the basement?"
Zhan Xinyong lay on the bed with his clothes on, his hands behind his head, and whispered as if in a whisper.
Ning Shiming said as he changed his clothes: "We signed a confidentiality agreement."
"I know, but it's just the two of us, so it's okay to talk about it, right?" Zhan Xinyong lay on his side and looked at Ning Shiming, saying, "You entered the laboratory earlier than me. Did you hear what the teacher said?"
"No." Ning Shiming said dryly.
The assistants who were assigned with Ning Shiming at the beginning were disqualified and sent back because they failed to meet the assessment requirements. Zhan Xinyong was the first one in the second batch of experimenters to prepare the rx solvent. It took him only five days to get the qualification to enter the underground laboratory, which was faster than Ning Shiming. Ning Shiming knew very well that the most important thing for the successful preparation of the medicine was extreme precision, meticulous attitude and high concentration. The whole preparation process took about eight hours, and any negligence would lead to failure. Zhan Xinyong succeeded, but his personality did not seem to match the requirements of the experiment.
Zhan Xinyong lay back down, looking at the ceiling and guessing: "I think...it might be some kind of weapon."
"No matter what it is, we will know after we finish it." Ning Shiming said.
"Maybe not. That thing is almost built, and the most core parts are completed by Mr. Rong and the robot. Before that, we may be asked to leave the laboratory. Don't you have any curiosity at all?" Zhan Xinyong asked aggressively.
Ning Shiming was silent.
"Forget it. I thought you were the only one who could talk in this damn place, but you're such a taciturn person! I'm leaving!" Zhan Xinyong jumped up from the bed, patted his clothes and left.
Hearing the door behind him being slammed shut, Ning Shiming took out a piece of notepaper from his pocket, pulled a pencil out of the pen holder and started writing on it. Gradually, several lines of numbers appeared.
He stared at the numbers for a while, took out a notebook from the bottom of the drawer, turned to the blank page in the middle, and copied down the line of numbers carefully.
【3651057010385】
【338435010877】
【3441352011679】
【032766012390】
He didn't know what these numbers meant, but he saw the solemn expression on Rong Yuan's face when he wrote down these numbers, and sensed their importance, so he took the risk of tearing off a blank piece of note paper underneath when leaving the laboratory.
After writing these numbers, he put the note paper in the middle of the page and flipped forward. On each page of the paper, there were scattered mechanical structure drawings - he had a photographic memory, and he could draw an image without changing a single stroke even after a long time.
After checking the time, he closed his notebook and stuffed it into the inside pocket of his clothes, zipped it up, and walked out the door without taking anything with him.
Wei Jie was leaning on the railing outside the institute building smoking. When he saw Ning Shiming coming out, he waved and said hello: "Xiao Ning, do you want to go out for a walk?"
"Well, I'm a little bored, so I just took a walk." Ning Shiming replied.
"Go ahead, but don't walk around for too long . I heard it will rain tonight." Wei Jie warned.
"I know." Ning Shiming nodded and walked out calmly.
…
"Already left?"
"Yes, he walked two kilometers, then took out a motorcycle from the bushes, filled it with gas, it was very clean, and installed a navigation system. It seems that someone has been waiting to pick him up. He is now ten kilometers away, but has not yet contacted other people." Noah said, and the TV screen was divided into eight or nine small squares, each containing different surveillance images. Then it enlarged one of the images, which was Ning Shiming who had already left the institute.
"Well, it's about time to notify others." Rong Yuan held a stack of notepaper in his hand, rubbing the edge of the page with his fingertips, and dialed Wei Jie's number: "Colonel Wei, something is not right, I think you should come over and take a look."
After hanging up the phone, Noah couldn't help asking, "I don't understand, how do you know there's something wrong with Ning Shiming? He was able to get in after going through a lot of screening, and I checked all his background information and didn't find any problems. That low-level little guy, the optical brain, can't possibly get more detailed information than me. If I can't find anything, it certainly can't. Why..."
"Shut up!" Rong Yuan felt that this word was almost becoming his catchphrase. He looked at the surveillance footage on the screen. Wei Jie would be outside his door in one minute. He said, "Remember..."
"I understand. Shut up, keep quiet, and disguise yourself as a real computer. No problem, I can do it, so easy!" Noah said as he turned off all the surveillance images on the screen. He suddenly poked his head out of the darkness and said with a wink, "Honestly, Rongyuan, I think you are different from other people on earth, very different - you have more magical powers than them, right?"
As soon as it finished speaking, it retracted its head and at the same time, there was a knock on the door.
…
Rong Yuan was in a good mood when he saw Jin Nan again, whether it was because Jin Nan had risked his life to protect him, or because of the huge amount of merit he had brought him, or because of his relationship with Jin Yang.
"Long time no see. Are you healed from your injury?" It was a rare occasion that Rong Yuan took the initiative to say hello.
"Thank you, I'm fine now." Jin Nan showed him his ID and said, "I'm Jin Nan from the Public Security Bureau . I'm mainly responsible for investigating Ning Shiming's defection. I heard that you were the first to discover the problem? Can you tell me about the process?"
"No problem." Rong Yuan asked him to sit down, then took out the stack of sticky notes that had been packed in a vacuum bag and handed it to him, saying, "I found that this one had been moved by someone. The position and angle were different. Then, just in case, I covered it with a pencil. The mark is blurry, so there should be another one with a clearer writing mark on it, and it was taken away by someone."
Jin Nan took the note and looked at it, then asked, "Can I ask what was written on the top?"
Rong Yuan hesitated for a moment.
Jin Nan understood, took out a file bag and said, "I know you have a confidentiality policy, this is my authorization document."
Rong Yuan carefully read the contents of the document and returned it to him. He then took out a piece of paper and placed it on the table, saying, "This is what I originally wrote down."
Jin Nan looked at it and asked, "Is it important?"
Rong Yuan said: "It's not that hard to crack. I didn't even think of making it into a code. Even if the person who took the note didn't understand it at first, they should understand it after the first set of numbers appear. At the same time, they will also know what kind of machine we are making, and the note will be the evidence."
Jin Nan said: "I understand. Can you tell me what you think of Ning Shiming?"
…
When Jin Nan was asking Rong Yuan about the situation, everyone in the institute was being interrogated, but they were not treated so politely, and everyone's personal belongings were carefully checked. Out of curiosity or thirst for knowledge, Zhan Xinyong memorized a lot of descriptions and guesses about the mechanical products underground, and was also isolated and repeatedly examined as a dangerous element.
At the same time, the hunt for Ning Shiming was also in full swing.
…
“Swoosh—”
A dazzling light fell from the sky. A little girl with blond hair and blue eyes was lying on the windowsill. When she saw the light, she pointed to the sky and shouted happily: "K! R!"
The girl thought it was a "meteor" that streaked across the sky and fell into the sea with a long flame.
"boom!!!"
Accompanied by huge waves and water mist, the "Meteor" sank to the bottom of the sea.
Beneson was humming a tune as he sailed when suddenly the boat shook and the engine creaked and stopped.
"What the hell..."
Benneton slapped the steering wheel hard and turned to check what was going on. As soon as he stepped onto the deck, a thin, soft, fleshy whip was wrapped around his waist.
Beneson was stunned for a moment, then his body flew into the air. He screamed "Ahhh" and flew up, watching his ship getting farther and farther away, and a monster crawled onto his ship from the sea.
The monster muttered to himself. If someone could understand the low sound waves it emitted, they could hear what it said: "Why! Why! Why! Why did we fall to this planet! This dirty, backward, stupid planet! Oh my God, I seem to be poisoned. What's in their sea? The air makes me feel uncomfortable too. I hate it here! Hate, hate, hate! How can I leave? The spaceship was destroyed when passing through the wormhole. I doubt whether this planet has any spaceship capable of space travel. It would be great if it does! Oh my God, why am I so unlucky?"
It finally dragged its body completely onto the deck, lowering the ship's waterline by two centimeters. It rested on the boat for a while, then raised one hand and pressed on its neck. Suddenly, a semi-liquid substance like water covered its whole body. After a moment, it turned into Benneton and stood there.
—Or, it looked exactly like Benneton.
But the ship's waterline did not rise a millimeter.
