Thump ~ Thump ~
Chen Jin felt his heartbeat speed up.
This was something he had never experienced before.
In his field of vision, apart from the beautiful and noble woman, the silver spacecraft behind her, the azure sky, and the huge building seemed to have turned into a blur, completely ignored by Chen Jin's brain.
Only that woman.
As she got closer, her delicate and beautiful face gradually became clearer.
Chen Jin was stunned and lost in thought for a moment.
Until they were less than a meter apart, the beautiful woman stood in front of him. The breeze brought a trace of an itchy fragrance to the tip of his nose.
Only then did Chen Jin react. He looked at the woman and greeted faintly, "Yunhua, you're here."
"Yes, I'm here."
Mu Yunhua also roughly sized him up. Her face was full of doubts. "Jin, so you're also a human?" He was not the kind of 2D person with big eyes, a big head, and an uncoordinated body proportion.
This caused her to be extremely astonished, and at the same time, it was beyond her expectations.
The "higher civilization" that she had previously believed in, the group that represented the intelligent races, was the human race.
His appearance was unremarkable and ordinary, with only a pair of deep eyes.
Many speculations emerged in her heart. Could it be that Jin was a survivor of Haierfa, and that he had created such a civilization?
"Sort of."
Chen Jin did not want to answer too many questions. After all, they had just met. They were far from having a heart-to-heart talk.
"Let's go and settle down for the time being. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask it slowly."
…
The two of them got on the ferry.
About 20 or 30 minutes later.
The ferry arrived near the core of the Base of Operations. They got off and entered a tall building.
"This city is built on a crater left after a nuclear explosion, so I call this city 'Crater City' …"
"At present, there are only two permanent residents of this city, this planet, and even this galaxy. Me and my wife …"
Chen Jin gave a general introduction of the situation.
However, Guo Yan was not by his side. She did not go to the airport to greet them, and even took the initiative to prepare lunch.
She behaved in a virtuous and generous manner, as if she was not as wary as she was a few days ago.
But Chen Jin knew that this was called "taking a step back in order to advance." First, it was to avoid embarrassment and restrain inner emotions; second, it was to observe in secret and collect useful information.
They were all old monsters over a hundred years old. They knew in their hearts what was most appropriate and appropriate.
"Wife?"
Mu Yunhua glanced at Chen Jin and noticed the hint of embarrassment on his face.
However, she still didn't show any expression on her face, even though she knew that Jin, who was very promiscuous on the inside, had more than one special communication in the past decades.
Jin knew her body very well and was very familiar with her … There was an indescribable connection between the two of them that was beyond ordinary friendship.
This would obviously make people feel awkward. At the very least, Chen Jin felt embarrassed and a little reserved.
Even so.
Mu Yunhua still had such an indifferent expression on her face, giving people a feeling of aloofness.
It was as if she didn't have those embarrassing memories.
…
He arranged a detached villa for Mu Yunhua.
He put down his luggage.
Dozens of nannies, chefs and robots were arranged.
After settling down.
Noon.
In the living room on the first floor of the main villa.
Sumptuous dishes filled the entire dining table.
There were hundreds of delicacies, including lobster, shark's fin, sea cucumber, steak, mutton, fruit salad, common vegetables … All of them were made from pure natural organic ingredients. The smell they emitted would definitely make people salivate and increase their appetites.
It was just that the long table was too big. After the three of them sat down, there was no warm and solemn feeling.
Instead, it was a little cold and cheerless.
Seeing that Guo Yan was present, they introduced each other. After making the recruitment call, Chen Jin wasn't too enthusiastic. He only said to Mu Yunhua opposite him, "Eat more." After that, he didn't say anything else.
On the other hand, Guo Yan behaved like a competent hostess. She kept asking Mu Yunhua to eat, asking about her well-being, and asking a lot of questions.
Mu Yunhua responded politely and said a lot of polite words.
The relationship between the two women had a tendency to develop into friends.
But Chen Jin knew that everything was just on the surface.
Although the two women talked back and forth enthusiastically, the overall atmosphere was still that invisible indifference.
Chen Jin didn't like such an atmosphere.
After lunch.
In the afternoon.
Chen Jin took Mu Yunhua out of the villa and called for a sightseeing aircraft. The two people sat in a tandem cockpit, one in front and one in the back.
They controlled the aircraft to rise into the sky.
Chen Jin took Mu Yunhua on a tour of the brand-new planet Haierfa.
"Forests and plants cover more than 88% of the area. The transformation of the entire planet's environment has been completed.
"The marine ecosystem has been restored, and biodiversity has reached the level before the outbreak of the war.
"Phew, air pollution has basically disappeared, and the concentration of oxygen is obviously a little high. Except for the rainy season, the weather in most areas is blue sky and white clouds.
"There are many beautiful birds in the sky, many herds of deer and wolves in the forest, and cattle and sheep are everywhere on the grassland. In the beautiful nature, it is very lively everywhere.
"A beautiful world, a beautiful planet."
She looked at the snow-capped peaks not far away and the clouds in the sky that were whiter than cotton.
The picturesque scenery made the woman close her eyes slightly, and her heart was enchanted.
The hometown in front of her eyes, after a thorough transformation, was much more beautiful and environmentally friendly than the planet Haierfa in her memory.
Every corner of the scenery could be photographed like a piece of wallpaper.
It was very original.
But … it was beautiful.
The only thing that made people feel regretful and that something was missing was the popularity and liveliness of the past.
Humans had disappeared.
The city was gone.
Roads, railways, dams … Many man-made facilities had basically disappeared, or only a rough outline could be seen.
Only a beautiful, original planet was left.
The scenery looked beautiful and full of vitality. It made people relax their bodies and minds and penetrate their souls.
But in reality.
It was as if they had lost their souls.
Only lingering tranquility and loneliness were left.
It was no longer the old planet in her memory.
Therefore, after enjoying the natural beauty, an inexplicable sadness and loss flashed across Mu Yunhua's face.
"It's gone. There's really nothing left."
She murmured, "Everything in the past has dissipated in the long river of time. There is no way to reminisce and mourn. It's gone. It's gone. It's gone."
Disappointment.
Very obvious disappointment.
Mu Yunhua, who had some expectations, could not see anything that evoked her memories. Even the ruins in her memory had mostly turned into green mountains and clear waters, buried in endless greenery.
The traces of a civilization seemed to have been "erased," and could not be recalled.
Mu Yunhua found it a little difficult to accept.
But she did not blame Chen Jin. Why did he have to transform the environment so thoroughly?
He turned his head and noticed the expression on the woman's face. Of course, he knew the emotions in her heart.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Yun, when I first came here, this planet was like a dead cancer cell. There was radiation and pollution everywhere. It was arid, covered in dust, and very ugly … I could only invest a huge amount of energy and resources to carry out a thorough transformation.
"However, in the process of cleaning up the ruins, the robots did not use destructive cleaning methods. Instead, they collected some high-value items.
"There are library books, audio products such as CDs and tapes, some artworks such as oil paintings, ancient paintings, calligraphy, gold and silver jewelry, previous film and television works, games, and some documentaries, industrial technical information …
"As long as it is of high value, I asked the robots to collect it and store it in a museum.
"If you want to find some memories related to the past, I can take you to the museum to have a look. Maybe there will be some things that you like."
The museum was called the Tomb of Civilization Memorial Hall.
It occupied an extremely large area and stored more than hundreds of thousands of petabytes of information. It could be said to be extremely complete.
Some of the information that he wanted to find could basically be found.
Of course, so much information was not what Chen Jin wanted to collect. It was a conscious action by Nuwa, who had received the earth transformation project, from the very beginning. It could be considered as an unintentional action.
Mu Yunhua was stunned when she heard this.
A large number of books.
Works of art with artistic value.
Past film and television works, games, documentaries.
An extremely complete database.
There should also be some clues about what happened during the destructive war from the upper echelons of the Da Hua Empire.
"Jin, take me to the museum you mentioned. There are some things that I really want to check out," Mu Yunhua said.
There was some eagerness in her expression.
Chen Jin understood her mentality.
He knew that she wanted to solve a few mysteries in her heart, or was eager to know some stories of the past.
This was like the final review of a suspense drama. It made people want to summarize and review from the perspective of the overall situation.
Draw some historical lessons.
Summarize some experiences, and so on.
Was there any meaning to this?
In Chen Jin's eyes, there was not much meaning to it. The tragedy had already happened. There was not much use in reviewing, analyzing, and summarizing. Under the inertia of history, mistakes that should be made would still be made.
Development became an inevitability.
Just like the increase of entropy in the universe.
But …
"Alright, I'll take you there!"
Chen Jin turned around and returned to the city of Crater.
The next day, he brought Mu Yunhua into the huge museum.
…
In an underground space that covered an area of more than one square kilometer.
The two people wearing oxygen protective suits entered an environment full of room temperature nitrogen.
They looked up.
The circular bookshelves or storage cabinets were filled with all kinds of items.
A set of advanced and complex machine retrieval devices could intelligently collect information based on the questions raised by the user, and then use a robotic arm to grab the information. The retrieval efficiency was very high.
After Mu Yunhua came in.
She immediately showed her excitement and asked a lot of questions to the intelligent retrieval system.
For example, she asked about the outbreak of the destructive war, the attitudes and performance of the upper echelons of various countries.
She asked about the operation mode of each survival base during the nuclear winter.
There were also some scientific and technological doubts.
Some small details in the long river of history, and so on.
The inquiries were very detailed.
And more than 70% of the questions could be answered with relatively clear answers. She nodded continuously.
…
Then.
It was in that huge underground museum.
Half a year.
Mu Yunhua stayed in there for a full six months.
Every day, she asked a lot of questions and downloaded some research materials.
Like a history researcher, she fell into a state where she forgot to eat and sleep.
Because the information was complete, the credibility was generally high. She, who had gained a lot, had no intention of leaving.
She even told Chen Jin that her gains in the past six months had improved her information by 5%.
In about ten years or so, she would know the truth of everything.
Seeing her like this.
Chen Jin felt a little annoyed.
"What is the use of this kind of research?"
He expressed that it was very difficult to understand. "Even if I know the truth, so what? Can time be reversed? Can the tragedy be stopped? "
He shook his head. It was a waste of energy and time.
He had some opinions in his heart.
But more than that, he was embarrassed.
Because he had told Guo Yan that Mu Yunhua would stay here for three to five days at most and would leave soon.
As a result, she had been in a state of obsession for half a year.
What should he do?
He didn't even know to mention this to Guo Yan. After all, Mu Yunhua was a distinguished guest. Wasn't mentioning this a little like chasing her away?
Guo Yan also understood this truth. Although she wanted Mu Yunhua to leave, seeing her like this, it was difficult to say anything impolite other than taking care of her meals and smiling to express that it was not a problem to stay a little longer.
Other than that.
After half a year of understanding and contact.
Guo Yan also had doubts in her heart. She was not sure whether Mu Yunhua was a "threat."
First, Mu Yunhua was too cold. She only focused on her own matters and was very polite to Guo Yan. Occasionally, she would talk to him. But towards Chen Jin, she was a little indifferent, which often made Chen Jin feel uncomfortable.
A state like hers was called the "researcher state." She would not take anyone to heart except for the matter at hand.
Second, Mu Yunhua's experience was pitiful. The more contact you had with her, the more emotional you would feel, and then develop feelings of admiration.
Over time, you would let down your guard and lose your wariness.
Guo Yan even came to the conclusion: "A woman like Mu Yunhua is not worthy of her husband Chen Jin at all. There is no possibility of them developing together." Her worries were purely superfluous.
If Chen Jin understood what Guo Yan was thinking, he was afraid that tears would fall. Was he really that bad?
But no matter what.
On Haierfa, Chen Jin and Guo Yan gradually became familiar with Mu Yunhua's existence. They even felt that she was quite good. After all, humans were social animals and needed a certain amount of popularity.
However, on this day.
Mu Yunhua realized that she had stayed a little too long and had forgotten to go back early.
"It seems that I have to go. The All-Stars Federation still needs me. As for the research here, it will not stop. Please arrange a few remote robots for me to remotely control and learn."
Mu Yunhua stood up and said, with the intention of leaving immediately.
"Wait."
Chen Jin raised his wrist and looked at a message that he had just received. The expression on his face changed. "Yun, you may not be able to go back. There seems to be a situation in the All-Stars Federation."
“？？？”
Mu Yunhua suddenly looked puzzled.
