Son of the Stars

Chapter 16 Risk

Before the big crash, human beings were keen to leave things like "time capsules".It seems that leaving a time capsule will allow people in the future to establish a closer connection with the present.

But things like time capsules were basically a joke in the distant past.After the collapse, they became a "serious risk" in the eyes of the coalition government.

Who knows what danger is in there.

People in the past did not pay much attention to the risks. They filled the shell of time capsules with asbestos, painted some children's toys with radioactive elements, drank alcohol with plasticizers, and ate betel nuts.

The coalition government is worried that the trigger for the general collapse may be hidden in a time capsule—the earliest batch of patients identified so far have basically participated in the work of a time capsule that has been buried for more than 300 years .

Although there is no direct evidence to prove this, the coalition government has listed the opening of time capsules, as well as all types of archaeological work, as strictly controlled items.

But the trouble lies in this "strict control".A lot of information before the big crash has been lost or even unreliable, and people who are extremely keen on burying time capsules during the events of more than ten years have buried these strange sealed containers everywhere.

For example, a time capsule from 370 seven years ago was dug up near the Lushan mountain trail of Central University today.

Although it says "Niu Niu's Treasure" in crooked, child-like handwriting, in the eyes of the affiliated institutions of the coalition government, as well as the teachers and students of ordinary Central University... this is a thermonuclear weapon that may get out of control at any time.

Even if there are only crayon drawings drawn by Niuniu herself, this time capsule will never be opened—it will be thrown directly into the fusion reactor, where it will be burned directly into a stream of plasma at a high temperature of one billion degrees Celsius.

But before this time capsule becomes a stream of plasma in the fusion reactor, it needs to be transported away by professionals along with four cubic meters of soil and rock around it.Before the completion of this difficult and high-risk handling work, the students in the entire Central University had to be evacuated.

This is a huge project that is estimated to take about two days, and it is also an excellent opportunity for Lu Chen to take Mu Zhiran to a camping holiday in the suburbs.

Of course, Mu Zhiran was not very happy to do this.Although the committee has not yet approved Mu Zhiran's acceptance of samples from patients who died in the massacre, Academician Tang's "face" is still valid.Dozens of other professional research institutes of Central University are "coordinating" samples with Mu Zhiran.

At the same time, the face of future academician Yang Weimin also played an important role in the experiment—the pathology departments of the six affiliated hospitals of Central University began to sort out brain tissue samples.Since 30 years ago, all human brain tissue samples that have signed the "permission for scientific research" will take part of the samples and send them to the laboratory of the Institute of Physics.

In order to properly preserve the samples, Academician Tang urgently applied for a large sum of funds to build a 1000-[-]-square-meter cryogenic storage facility on the second basement floor of the Institute of Physics.The kind where the temperature can drop as low as minus eighty degrees.

When the cold storage is built, the number of samples may be so large that it is difficult for automatic instruments to quickly complete the detection.At that time, Mu Zhiran really won't have time to come out to play.

Lu Chen's pressure was similar. Academician Tang forced him to study quantum mechanics for his own good. With such an important experimental group and such a major subject, if Lu Chen wants to stay in the group safely, he needs to have enough advantages.At least there must be one handle Tang Qinglong can cut off other people's idea of ​​"replacing Lu Chen".

What could be better suited for this experimental group than a clinician who is good at and understands quantum mechanics?
After this short vacation, Lu Chen is bound to fall into the ocean of quantum mechanics for the first time. If he wants to rest... then he can only take advantage of it now.

Riding a small motorcycle to the campsite, Lu Chen couldn't help being elated and looking forward to it.Although I practiced setting up a tent several times, I also learned how to light a campfire safely.But this is really the first time for a real camping vacation.Although there is no moisture barrier, it should not be a problem if you want to camp on the grass.

There was a trailer behind the scooter, and Mu Zhiran was also looking forward to sitting on the back seat.The two have been together for such a long time, and this is the first time they have prepared for such a long trip.Xiao Mu is ready. She has mastered the specific technical means of frying steak through thermodynamic analysis and calculation.

This young couple, whose minds are full of theoretical knowledge, both look forward to and believe that they will be able to leave some wonderful experiences during this camping process.

The motorcycle with a small trailer drove all the way to the lake area—the camping lake area is located 85 kilometers northwest of Central University. The water area of ​​this lake is more than [-] times that of Dongyang Lake in Central University. Replaced with small rocks suitable for camping.

After arriving at the camp, after saying hello to the kind and extremely strong camp administrator, Lu Chen unloaded all the luggage from the car.He didn't start to set up the tent right away. After removing the small trailer from the rear of the motorcycle, Lu Chen rode on his own small motorcycle again.

"We have to go to the village to buy some supplies first." In order to ensure that the weight of the small trailer did not exceed the limit in the manual, Lu Chen deliberately did not bring drinking water.Fortunately, there is a village next to the campsite, and it is not difficult to buy some water and food in the village.

Mu Zhiran thought for a while and said, "It just so happens that I also have some condiments to buy, let's go together."

So, the little motorcycle set off again. Ten minutes later, the two appeared together in the central store of the village - the size of this place is between a supermarket and a convenience store. The sales of fresh vegetables and fruits account for a very small proportion, but various condiments and prepackaged Food quantity is quite high.

"Normal adults drink about 1.7 liters of water a day, and we can buy 4 liters." Lu Chen muttered while picking up two water bottles and asked, "What condiments do you want to buy?"

"Meat tenderizer powder, but I didn't find papain..." Mu Zhiran's voice, who was speaking across three rows of shelves, sounded a bit ethereal, and after a few seconds, her voice was completely inaudible.

This situation is not too unusual... Dr. Mu is not very good at doing two things at the same time.It's totally understandable not to speak while she peruses and flips through the labels of bottles and jars on the shelves.

However, understanding belongs to understanding.Dr. Mu's silence doesn't mean she doesn't remember things.Lu Chen put down the mineral water bottle in his hand and walked towards the condiment area.He intends to help Dr. Mu - two people find things faster than one.

Passing by the snacks and drinks area, when he was about to reach the condiment area, Lu Chen suddenly felt a pair of hands covering his mouth and nose with something.

A strange, sweet and stinky smell rushed straight into the nostrils, and the pair of iron-like hands did not move at all.After a few breaths, Lu Chen lay on the ground like a felled metasequoia.

Before his consciousness completely disappeared, Lu Chen saw Mu Zhiran lying unconscious on the ground like himself.And the man standing behind her.

The camp administrator was holding a yellow wood pulp sponge, with fierce eyes and nervous expression.

Seeing that both Lu Chen and Mu Zhiran fell to the ground, the administrator put down the sponge in his hand, and then spat hard on the ground, "Damn government dog!"
