The Russian scientists weren't to be trifled with. When they heard Song Jinning say that the process was like sending a signal in a TV series, they couldn't help but sneer and say, "The transmission of a TV signal requires a high-power signal tower. Where do you think there is such a signal tower in New York City that can send the signal more than ten years into the future? Hmph, if I say you're delusional, then you're delusional! "
It was one thing to say that Gu Nianzhi was delusional, but she actually said that Song Jinning was delusional as well!
Gu Nianzhi couldn't take it anymore!
She turned to look at the scientist and enunciated each word clearly, "Before planes appeared, many ignorant people didn't believe that humans could fly in the sky. Before the telephone appeared, people didn't believe that one day everyone would be able to communicate freely with a small rectangular box. You're a scientist, so I thought your thinking would be a few steps ahead of ordinary people, but now it seems that you don't even have the imagination of ordinary people. "
The Russian scientist's face turned red from Gu Nianzhi's rebuke. He wanted to refute her, but he couldn't think of a practical example, so he could only turn his head and sulk.
Song Jinning patted Gu Nianzhi's hand with a smile. "Don't bother with narrow-minded people. The development of science doesn't depend on individual will. Being blinded by a leaf and looking at the sky from the bottom of a well will only become an obstacle to the development of science. Alright, let's ignore them and do our own thing. "
Gu Nianzhi nodded. "Ms. Song has good self-restraint. I shouldn't argue with ignorant people."
Calling the Russian scientist an "ignorant person" could be said to be very sarcastic and arrogant.
However, the other party couldn't refute it because this kind of "ignorance" wasn't ignorance in terms of knowledge, but ignorance in terms of vision and imagination. These two were also the bottlenecks that restricted the development of science and technology.
The other scientists looked at each other, then continued to work and didn't say anything.
Huo Shaoheng personally brought his men to stand guard, worried that something else would happen.
He said to Gu Nianzhi, "Follow me and don't run around."
Gu Nianzhi smiled and agreed, then obediently followed behind him.
While Huo Shaoheng was on guard, she looked around and took pictures with her phone from time to time.
Sometimes she took pictures of the scenery, sometimes she took selfies, and sometimes she took selfies with Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng ignored her, so she could enjoy herself.
The driver, Vladimir, Lina, and Peter were in charge of guarding the Russian scientists.
The middle-aged driver made a vomiting gesture as he watched Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng being inseparable like a perfect couple. He laughed and said, "I think I'll be too full of dog food for the next few days."
Vladimir was very envious of Huo Shaoheng. He quickly glanced at Lina beside him and saw that she still had a poker face and was completely indifferent. She didn't have the slightest intention of showing "affection" with him. He was a little disappointed, but also a little itchy.
It was his good fortune to be able to gain the favor of such a mentally strong woman.
Vladimir thought that Gu Nianzhi wasn't bad, but she was too delicate. She wasn't his cup of tea. Only a woman like Lina could live with him for the rest of his life.
He looked thoughtfully at the side profile of Lina's high cheekbones and said with a smile, "Major Lina, do you want to rest for a while? The three of us are enough. "
He pointed to the driver and Peter.
Linna shook her head. "No, I'm not sleepy."
The middle-aged driver looked at them with a grin and quickly said, "I'm sleepy, I'm sleepy! Can I go and rest for a while? "
"Get lost!" Vladimir's expression instantly changed and he kicked the middle-aged driver away.
Peter followed them with drooping, sleepy eyes, his hands clasped behind his back, oblivious to their pleasantries.
..
Time passed, and the sun rose higher in the sky.
The fog above the circular crater became thinner and thinner, and the image of New York City from more than a decade ago became fainter and fainter. The data captured on the detector also became less and less.
In the end, the fog completely dissipated, the image disappeared, and the data could no longer be detected.
Only then did Song Jinning reluctantly say, "This time, with this data, it's worth several years of hard work."
She studied magnetic fields, and the changes in the magnetic field here could be said to be the pinnacle of theoretical development. Much of the data should have only been detected in the depths of the universe.
"Could the Tunguska explosion really have been caused by the impact of a comet?"
During lunch, the scientists were chatting.
Gu Nianzhi couldn't butt in on such a high-level topic. She only picked up a prawn and planned to dip it in hoisin sauce.
Huo Shaoheng quickly picked up a few prawns and fresh Arctic shellfish for her. He placed them on the plate in front of her.
Gu Nianzhi didn't eat alone. She picked up a prawn with a fork and smiled as she put it into Huo Shaoheng's mouth.
Huo Shaoheng opened his mouth to eat and fed her the Arctic shellfish.
The two of them fed each other as if no one else was around. Song Jinning watched with a carefree heart. She thought about how she would probably have to prepare for the wedding and the baby's room when she got back …
The middle-aged driver had come over with a smile to talk to Gu Nianzhi, but when he saw this scene, he silently took his plate and left. He returned to Vladimir, Lina, and Peter's side and sat under the tree to eat with them.
Vladimir saw the situation between Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi from afar and smiled. "I didn't expect Major General Huo to dote on Cereus so much. Tsk tsk, how much does he like her?"
Peter looked at him, then placed a grilled prawn on Lina's plate.
Lina: "…"
Vladimir was nervous and didn't hesitate to place his grilled prawn on Lina's plate.
The middle-aged driver suddenly stood up.
He had lost all hope in this world where people were showing off their affection everywhere!
Without looking back, he left the tree and found a secluded place to eat alone.
..
After that day, the scientists' observations came to a standstill.
The circular crater seemed to have run out of energy from the projection of the image of New York that day, and no magnetic field data could be detected anymore.
Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng held hands and walked on the hillside around the giant circular crater.
She looked at the giant circular crater not far away and said with emotion, "Could it be that there really is special energy here?"
Whether it was the wave curve that had appeared here at the beginning or the projection of New York from more than a decade ago that had appeared a few days ago, they all pointed to this result.
But no one knew what it was.
Everyone could only analyze the existing data in an attempt to find a scientific conclusion.
However, this conclusion couldn't be obtained in a day or two.
Song Jinning returned from the giant circular crater in disappointment for several days in a row.
On the last day, she stood in front of the giant circular crater and said to Gu Nianzhi, "I'm afraid there's no research value here for the time being. I think we can go back."
Gu Nianzhi comforted Song Jinning, "There's already a lot of good stuff. Go back and study it carefully. The conclusion should be waiting for us not far away."
Song Jinning nodded with emotion. "I hope we can come to a conclusion immediately. Actually, when I said that it was a projection of the image from more than a decade ago, it was just a bold assumption. We still need to verify it carefully. Our assumption might be right, or it might not be. The field of science is broad and profound, and anything can happen. "
"Ms. Song, you can do it. I believe in you!" Gu Nianzhi said with a smile. She turned around and saw Lina climbing up a long rope from the bottom of the giant circular crater.
"Huh? Major Lina, why are you here? What's down there? Is it fun? You're so brave to have just gone down! "Gu Nianzhi greeted her in surprise.
Lina looked at her calmly and removed the long rope from her waist. She said, "Hello, I'll go down and help the scientists put away the cameras and detection equipment."
Song Jinning took the long rope and handed it to the staff member beside her. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Major Lina."
"You're welcome. I still have a few cameras here. They're from our country's scientists." Lina nodded at them and turned to leave.
Vladimir and Peter were standing about 200 meters away from them, with the Russian scientists.
Gu Nianzhi asked curiously, "Why are the Russian scientists' cameras on our side?"
She had thought that this place was divided into districts. The Huaxia scientists were in one district, and the Russian scientists were in another.
Song Jinning was amused by her and said, "How can there be districts? Everyone is doing scientific research, so of course there are all kinds of angles. Our cameras are also on their side. That gentleman sent them back to me just now. "
Song Jinning pouted at Peter.
Gu Nianzhi understood and smiled embarrassedly. "I made a fool of myself again. Ms. Song is the best. She never laughs at me."
If it had been the mean Russian scientist, he would have laughed at her for being ignorant again.
As they spoke, a few more staff members climbed up from the bottom of the giant circular crater. They were all tied with long ropes and carried a lot of equipment and cameras in their hands.
These people were all from the Huaxia Empire's entourage. Most of them were field personnel from the Special Operations Forces.
Gu Nianzhi saw that Huo Shaoheng had actually gone down as well. He had mixed in with the personnel and had disguised himself, so most people wouldn't be able to recognize him.
However, Gu Nianzhi was so familiar with him that she could sense him as long as he appeared around her, no matter what he disguised himself as.
Of course, she didn't acknowledge him.
Since Huo Shaoheng had chosen to disguise himself, he definitely didn't want anyone to know that he had gone down.
Gu Nianzhi didn't know why he had gone down, but she guessed that it was for his work.
She smiled and turned to talk to Song Jinning. She accompanied her to pack up the equipment and prepared to return home.
That was when something strange happened.
There was a loud bang, as if the earth was shaking and the mountains were shaking.
In fact, the entire ground beneath their feet shook.
The mountain rocks rolled down with a rustling sound, almost bringing with it a mudslide.
The tall birch forest began to collapse, and the water in the giant circular crater rippled. There were also bursts of flames that shot into the sky, and smoke filled the air.
Gu Nianzhi reflexively hugged Song Jinning and threw herself to the ground. She rolled towards the open space to avoid the explosion at their feet!
On the other side, where the Russian scientists were, the flames of the explosion were even stronger.
There was a loud bang at their feet. This time, it wasn't a fake "electric spark", but a real explosion!
Vladimir didn't have time to think about who could break through his and Huo Shaoheng's guard and bury the explosives at the edge of the giant circular crater. He just instinctively turned around and used his body to protect the Russian scientist beside him.
The blue circular crater appeared in front of him and kept getting bigger.
At that moment, he saw his life experiences from a young age. He thought regretfully that he hadn't gotten married and hadn't had children yet …
At that moment, Lina pounced over without hesitation and used her body to protect Vladimir.
The bang was even louder. Lina pushed Vladimir hard, but she couldn't withstand the impact of the explosion. Her feet slipped, and she tumbled rapidly towards the bottom of the giant circular crater!
"Lina –!" Vladimir, who had been pushed away, turned around and shouted at the top of his lungs. He wanted to jump down as well, but Peter and the middle-aged driver held him tightly.
