"What is this?"
The speed of the mine cart gradually slowed down in the tunnel, and the clanging sound gradually subsided, making Xu Le's trembling voice particularly obvious. The teenager's hand, which was always steady, was also trembling. He touched the smooth bracelet on his left wrist. He vaguely guessed something, but he couldn't believe it.
Feng Yu didn't answer.
Suddenly, the 0.7 centimeter-thick metal bracelet slid like flowing mercury under the touch of Xu Le's fingers!
Very thin lines appeared on the surface of the metal, and then the bracelet cracked, revealing the extremely complex and delicate structure inside. In the hollow of the bracelet, three thin metal wires were strung with an unknown number of shiny metal particles.
It was like the starlight drawn into lines in a surreal oil painting, stringing all the dazzling stars together.
Under the dim light in the mine, Xu Le's small eyes were wide open, staring at his wrist without blinking, as if he was looking at an immortal or a monster that didn't exist in this world. Those metal wires were too thin, and the vibration of the mining car was too strong. Xu Le was very worried that these metal wires would be broken at any time. Those shiny metal particles were too small, so small that they seemed to be weightless. They could be blown away by the faint wind in the mine at any time, and no one could find any trace of them.
In the eyes of ordinary people, these metal wires and tiny shiny metal particles might be very delicate and fragile handicrafts, but Xu Le had studied mechanical engineering with Feng Yu for four years. He had a natural sensitivity to all the crystallization of human machine civilization. At a glance, he could tell that there was something on the surface of these metal particles that the naked eye couldn't see clearly.
It was the flow of lines that were as beautiful as a work of art. It was a crystal core array that was arranged and combined in a very wonderful way. Although Xu Le didn't know how these things were combined in such a small area, and how they played a role, it was very simple to associate it with the secret that Feng Yu had mentioned before.
Camouflage chip? A camouflage chip that could pass all the monitoring and detection under the glory of the first charter!
The back of Xu Le's neck turned cold again because he knew that there was a similar chip hidden in the depths of his neck that had accompanied him for 17 years. To be more precise, every citizen of the Federation had such a chip in their body … and for countless years, no one had ever been able to replicate such a chip, and no one had even dared to attempt to take it out, unless they decided to flee to another country and never return to the Federation for the rest of their lives.
At this moment, the bracelet on the youth's wrist … contained a chip that could perfectly disguise him! Xu Le could clearly control what this represented under the strong impact of his emotions. However, he only knew one thing, and that was that this chip represented a brand new life. He also remembered what his boss had said before. The person who could develop and put the camouflage chip into practice would definitely receive the Federation's highest honor, the Nebula Award.
Of course, if there really was a scientist in the Federation who had developed such a thing, before he received the Nebula Award, he would definitely be sentenced to life imprisonment by the Federation government. But in any case, Xu Le was still shocked. What kind of knowledge and power was needed to contend with the Federation's most powerful civilization, The Glory Of The Charter?
He turned his head to look at Feng Yu's somewhat tired and old face in astonishment. His mouth opened for a long time, but he couldn't say anything. He had never been so shocked in his life, except perhaps for that loud noise twelve years ago.
It was also this kind of shock that made Xu Le neglect another admirable workmanship of the bracelet. The fingerprint authentication and activation were completed in an instant. This itself wasn't a particularly difficult thing to do, but for it to be completed so quickly on a metal bracelet of such thickness, it also explained many things.
…
…
"As I said, this is my gift to you." Feng Yu didn't seem to know what kind of uproar the bracelet he had casually thrown to Xu Le would cause if it appeared in the Federation society. He said, "If you don't want to be locked up in prison for a few years because of me, find some time and space to take out the chip in your neck and replace it with one in the bracelet. Your identity information and the operation method are all in the hologram. You can learn it yourself … With your ability, it shouldn't be difficult. "
At this time, the mine car had already stopped at a certain intersection in the mine. Xu Le's gently trembling fingers replaced the bracelet in its original position. He subconsciously wanted to throw the bracelet away in fear, or return it to Feng Yu. However, he found that the bracelet couldn't be thrown away. It was perfectly round, and he couldn't find any gap to open it. It was as if he had worn it since he was a child.
"You … you … you use it. Otherwise … you will … die. You can … use it." Xu Le looked at Boss Feng's white hair. Only today did he know what kind of mysterious and unfathomable person his boss was. He couldn't help but stutter, "I … will be locked up for a few years at most … you will die."
"Stupid guy. I already told you the reason." Feng Yu looked at the young boy's young face expressionlessly and said, "And this thing can only be used by one person. Don't ask me why. In the future, don't try to use this chip to save other people's lives. Go … change your identity, go to the capital ring, live a new life, and use another method to realize your life dreams. "
Another identity? Another life? Xu Le was suddenly stunned. The boss's words and the real cold metal touch on his wrist reminded him that his life, which he thought was hopeless, suddenly opened another door for him. But behind that door … was it really his ideal life?
And, what about the boss?
"I gave you a small gift and a few words of advice." Feng Yu stared at his eyes expressionlessly and said, "When you go to the capital ring in the future, maybe these words will be useful to you."
Xu Le was still confused, but he listened subconsciously.
"Your eyebrows are like knives. They are too straight and too straight. This is not good. It will press down on your vision and hurt your mind. If you can change it, then change it.
"There is no creator among the stars, and there is no glory to worship. The most dangerous place is the safest place, but you can only believe this sentence three times.
"After today, forget about me. Forget about what happened in the past four years and bury it. Don't expect to find any justice or reward, and don't do boring things like revenge. I am not your father, and I don't have much kindness for you … Just be careful to stay away from the people in your life, the kind people who eat your meat but advocate vegetarianism.
"I know you are very curious about the explosion in the war years ago and my crime. You are willing to believe that I am innocent, but I can't say that I am innocent. But I can tell you that it won't be long before you find out what that explosion looked like. "
"I'm done talking." Feng Yu's white hair suddenly looked dazzling in the dark mine. His real age was finally exposed. He took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a deep breath. Then, he blew it on Xu Le's face and continued, "Time is almost up, and they will be here soon. You can get lost now."
Xu Le listened to him in a daze. He felt that there was a sadness that kept rising from the bottom of his heart, piercing the top of his head. He said in a hoarse voice, as if he was begging, "You have to live."
"Of course I will live. I will live forever." Feng Yu's face suddenly showed an extremely awesome expression. He looked at the bracelet on Xu Le's wrist and said, "Do I need you to tell me that?"
After saying this, the Federation's number one traitor, Donglin's normal mechanic Feng Yu kicked Xu Le, kicking the silly teenager into the sewer beside the mine.
