Luo Nan's elevator stopped at the 133rd floor. Everyone else went down, leaving only Luo Nan and Tian Si. The number of floors rapidly jumped up. It looked like the elevator was going to be silent all the way until he suddenly spoke.
"What kind of person is Professor Pan?"
Half of Tian Si's mind was still hooked by the berserk devil ray, and some of it was on Ju Maoxun's side. She was stupefied for a few seconds upon hearing Luo Nan's words. Only when the elevator stopped and the metal door opened did she wake up from her reverie.
She was about to speak, but Luo Nan had already stepped out of the door. She could only hurry to keep up. She was completely brought along by his rhythm, like a secretary accepting an inquiry from her boss.
Tian Si suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and responded, "Professor Pan Wen is a first-rate design theorist in the world. At least half of the reputation of our Design Institute is supported by her."
Tian Si knew very well what Luo Nan was truly concerned about. She paused for a moment before continuing, "Senior Sister Qingwen was personally taught by Professor Pan when she was at the Design Institute. I asked a few of my senior brothers and sisters who stayed at the school. They all said that Professor Pan loved Senior Sister Qingwen like a daughter back in the day. She's a very amiable old lady, even if she doesn't care about academics. She will certainly be very happy if you pay a visit. "
Luo Nan said solemnly, "I will certainly pay a visit."
"That's fine. I can help you introduce her."
Luo Nan didn't care how many thoughts were contained within Tian Si's words. He seriously memorized Professor Pan Wen's contact information.
The two passed through the walkway and entered the open-air viewing platform. They were already seven hundred meters in height. The buildings in the Pingjiang District were generally short. Aside from the main building of Cloud City, there was a vast expanse as far as the eye could see. Tian Si said that they could see the wetlands and jungles of the school from here.
Dusk had arrived, and the weather had turned cold. Strong winds howled from high up in the sky, causing the protective glass at the edge of the platform to buzz. There was also the sound of water beneath the sound of the wind.
"The peak of the central crystal pillar is the 142nd floor."
Tian Si pointed at the raised frame structure in the center of the platform. The frame was both a support and a separation. A vast body of water with a diameter of nearly fifty meters was cut out. This body of water rose to a height of approximately two meters, and it was surrounded by protective glass.
"This is the rather famous Heavenly Ocean Lake. It looks like a part of the crystal pillar, but the two are actually separate. The bottom of the lake is separated by reinforced glass. So, it's just a swimming pool. It's just a gimmick that the operator modified. "
The two needed to pass by the edge of the frame structure of the Heavenly Ocean Lake. Luo Nan only shot a glance at this' gimmick '. He wasn't interested.
The current time was just before most of the salaried workers got off work. The sky was getting dark, and there weren't many people on the viewing platform, making it seem a little deserted.
Luo Nan identified his direction a bit and walked to the edge of the viewing platform. He cast his gaze in the direction of the academy. He did see the wetland forest of the academy, and the outline was still clear. There was also the long river that passed through the forest, winding in and out, reflecting the light of the setting sun, appearing and disappearing at times.
Luo Nan was able to determine the specific location of Gear by relying on the silhouette of the forest and the river. But now, the sky was gradually darkening. Separated by a distance of more than ten kilometers, that single building was really like a small component, lost in the shadows of the boundless jungle, difficult to find.
Luo Nan still wanted to give it a try. He believed that Tian Si wouldn't lie about this matter. He wanted to use his spiritual sense, but in this situation, his spiritual clairvoyance, which had always been successful, didn't seem to be as far as his vision.
"It's too late. My field of view is limited. But there are viewing mirrors here. I should be able to see." Tian Si pointed to a row of high-powered viewing binoculars at the edge. These were specially prepared for tourists, and there were only two or three people using them right now.
Luo Nan didn't say a word. He walked forward, moved his head to take a look, and then stood up straight.
Tian Si carefully observed, "Is it not okay?"
Luo Nan shook his head. The oppressive world he saw through the limited field of view through the binoculars was absolutely not the feeling he needed.
He stood stupidly at the edge of the viewing platform for seven or eight seconds. Then he suddenly spoke without any warning, "Coupling design. What in the world is this?"
He had a general understanding of the definition of coupling. It referred to the interaction and linkage phenomenon between various systems. But what did it specifically refer to in his mother's architectural theory?
Tian Si had to answer this question. She grew all the more cautious and cautious. She thought over and over before saying, "The design institute has a relatively unified view. It is a new interpretation of the classical eastern philosophy of 'man and nature are one'. And the practical train of thought is in the same vein as green buildings that borrow solar energy, water energy, wind energy, and other natural energy sources. "
Luo Nan furrowed his brows. Tian Si immediately increased her tone, "But from what I can see, Senior Sister Qingwen's core idea should be that she hopes to use the orderly architectural layout created by humans to carry out an effective influence on the grand natural system. And the level involved in this influence method is incomparable to green buildings in the traditional sense …. Professor Pan has an evaluation of this called the 'Eye of Heaven and Earth'. It's a mystery within a mystery."
Tian Si spoke very vaguely. She was far from researching coupling design theory thoroughly. She just picked out a nice evaluation from her predecessors to appease Luo Nan.
Luo Nan was well aware of this. He pursed his lips and didn't respond. He had a rough idea, but he wasn't sure. He didn't want to say it to Tian Si.
It was this feeling that seemed clear but wasn't clear that stimulated Luo Nan's heart. It made him impatient to tear down the bewildering barrier. No matter what the answer was, it possessed incomparable value from his perspective!
He took another step forward. The tip of his nose pressed against the protective glass wall of the viewing platform. He strove to look into the distance. Unfortunately, this step was meaningless when compared to the distance of a dozen kilometers. What he saw before his eyes was still only a rough outline. There was still no trace of the element belonging to Gear.
His field of vision had already expanded to its limits, but the precision of his resolution was still a bit lacking. As for the mental plane, he was barely able to probe forward in the void. He was still far from it.
In this way, his gaze could see, his mental senses could be sensed. Two domains, two planes. He was unable to find a precise target. He was tangled up quite fiercely, and his mind was in chaos.
Luo Nan knocked his forehead against the glass. He wanted to calm his emotions. Then his wristband received a call at this time. It continued to vibrate. He wanted to turn it off, but he glanced at it before he could do so. The name that entered his eyes stunned him.
Zhang Yingying.
Luo Nan had nearly forgotten that he still had the number of a fellow member of the Society in his hands. It had been a long time since he last contacted this person. It was said that Zhang Yingying had gone into seclusion. She had hopes of advancing her White Rainbow to the next level.
It must be said that Luo Nan really wasn't in the mood to deal with Zhang Yingying right now. However, Zhang Yingying had specifically changed channels to contact him during the maintenance of the Psychic Wave Network. He feared that something had happened.
In the end, he still connected. He was just about to open his mouth to greet her when the other side gave him a barrage of words:
"Where are you? Are you at school? "
Luo Nan was stupefied for a moment before he responded: "Something the matter? I'm not at school. I'm at Cloud City Water Village. "
"You're not there? Excellent … … Wait a minute. Cloud City Water Village isn't that far away! " Zhang Yingying's voice rose in pitch. She immediately asked: "What about Xue Lei? Is Xue Lei with you?"
Though the distance was a bit far, it still counted.
Luo Nan gave a vague response.
Zhang Yingying clearly let out a sigh of relief: "What kind of mode did you set up? The Secretary asked me for your number, but she couldn't get through. In the end, she even asked me to tell her … … When will you let people be a bit less worried!? "
Luo Nan sweated a bit. He had listened to He Yueyin's advice to concentrate on cultivation and had modified the settings of the HexaEar. He had also conveniently set the wristband's communication to restricted mode. He only allowed contacts who had already been recorded to enter. He never thought that a problem would crop up.
Zhang Yingying grumbled a few words, and her tone deliberately turned serious: "Listen carefully. I'm just passing on the Secretary's words."
"What's wrong?"
"Trouble's coming! I don't know what the investigation team from Headquarters heard, or maybe someone misled them. Right now, they are completely convinced that you are a key figure in the Frost River Reality incident and that you know a few secrets. They want to dig out information from you and summon you for interrogation. "
"Interrogation? They want to interrogate me? "Luo Nan's mood was originally very anxious. He couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. What kind of play was this?
"It's the usual style of Headquarters' bureaucrats. There's nothing strange about it." Zhang Yingying's words were filled with disdain. She immediately snorted and said, "Of course President Ouyang refuted this unreasonable request. But this group of people won't give up. They used the high-level privileges in their hands to create a malfunction, forcing the Psychic Wave Network to disconnect for maintenance … …"
"President Ouyang just let them mess around?"
"Shut up and listen to me! Time difference. Do you understand time difference? You're a rookie who hasn't even passed basic training. You probably won't even know what's going on when you encounter those guys who are proficient in torture and interrogation. Then you'll pour out everything in your belly! "
Luo Nan asked curiously, "Hold on. You're saying that they've already come to find me? At school? "
"Nonsense! Otherwise, why would we have called you in such a hurry? Right now Headquarters has already sent people out. There might be reinforcements here in Xia City as well. For this group of people, as long as they don't take your little life, then even if their methods are too extreme and produce some minor repercussions, President Ouyang and our boss won't be able to kill them. Naturally, they'll be unscrupulous. "
Zhang Yingying spoke faster and faster, "On the contrary, as long as you're under the protection of the branch, they won't dare to act forcefully in order to avoid things getting out of hand. Right now the Psychic Wave Network is disconnected, and the branch is in a complete mess. We don't know who can rush over to help you first. Luckily, Xue Lei is here. That fellow's abilities are worth trusting. "
"How about this. Find a place with a lot of people and stay with Xue Lei. Don't move. It doesn't matter who is looking for you. As long as the secretary doesn't personally confirm it, you absolutely won't go with them. If they really want to play forcefully, then let Xue Lei deal a killing blow. You'll be fine after holding on for half an hour at most. What about Xue Lei? Let him respond. I'll make some arrangements. "
"...... He's on the phone over there."
"Luo Nan!"
