When the four people who "looked upon death as home" stood in front of Uncle Wen and "forced the palace", Uncle Wen was stunned, struggled, hesitated, and was relieved.

How could he not understand the mood of these children? Even he himself couldn't help but want to find out the mystery that had been in his heart for four years, let alone them who were in the middle of it and were full of energy.

Uncle Wen struggled for a long time before finally making up his mind and nodded stiffly: "Okay. But, Zhuangzi, you can't get involved."

"Why?" Zhuangzi was stunned and asked in a panic.

"Both Zhuo Zhan's parents were killed in that accident. Although Duan Fei and Duan Yue's father escaped, he is now dying. They are all insiders. Zhuangzi, you are an outsider. You can go back now.

Home."

"No, I won't leave! Their business is my business. Zhuo Zhan and Duan Fei and I have been brothers wearing the same pants for a long time. I only have an aunt in my family, which is not my home at all. For Zhuo Zhan and Duan Fei

Fei, I am not an outsider."

"This is not children's play. This matter has nothing to do with you. If anything happens, how can I explain it to your parents?" Uncle Wen still wanted to try his best to persuade Zhuangzi.

"Uncle Wen, you don't need to say anymore. I have made up my mind. If my parents were really worried about me, they would not stay abroad and leave me alone at home for half a year. I have not seen them twice.

I’ve seen you a lot. In order to follow Zhuo Zhan and Duan Fei, I entered a school as difficult as No. 13 Middle School. If you didn’t let me go, I would have suffered from depression!” Zhuangzi didn’t want to be blocked out alone.

He was afraid of being alone, so afraid that he risked his life.

"Uncle Wen, let Zhuang go." Zhuo Zhan also advised.

"Okay, okay, I've convinced you! Young people, full of blood, alas..." Uncle Wen waved his hand helplessly and sighed longly.

"However, for those of you who have no experience, the environment and encounters there are extremely dangerous and may even lead to death. Do you have such willingness and determination?" Uncle Wen changed his kind face from the past and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle.

Looking at everyone present.

"I do." "I do too." "Me too!" Several people looked at each other and smiled, their eyes extremely determined and bright.

"Now that you are all mentally prepared, let's reorganize the exploration team and travel through the mountains and seas for generations again." Uncle Wen said in a sonorous and powerful voice.

"Wait for me." Uncle Wen said and turned around and walked into the storage room. He came out after a while, holding a wooden basket in one hand and a mop in the other.

"Uncle Wen, what are you doing?" Everyone looked at the basket and mop in Uncle Wen's hands, confused.

Uncle Wen smiled proudly, turned the mop over, and took out a small ceramic box from the mop head. After opening the lid, a silver pancake-shaped precision instrument came into view.

"Hey, what is this thing? It looks like a bean paste bun." Zhuangzi asked curiously.

"Sikong." Uncle Wen said with a smile, "In the past four years, how many people have been interested in this thing, but none of them could have imagined that I would hide such an important thing in the mop head. They couldn't even think of it.

out."

"This...is this Sikong?" Everyone's eyes widened and they hurriedly gathered around to take a look. At this moment, their excitement could no longer be described as surprise.

This Sikong looks like a compass, except that it has three sets of hands and a concave circular small dial in the middle. I don’t know what kind of material is inside the small dial. It can flow like mercury, like an unpredictable cosmic nebula.

, it seems that one can be sucked in just by looking at it. The periphery of the small dial is also precisely inlaid with three circles of tiny colored stones, with dozens of varieties.

"Oh, this high-tech precision instrument does not forget to inlay gems. Mr. Jiang is so arrogant... Oh, no... that... fastidious, fastidious... haha." Zhuangzi couldn't help complaining.

Uncle Wen smiled: "Haha, what do you know? These circles of colored stones are an important element in stabilizing Sikong and tearing apart the time tunnel. Don't forget, Mr. Jiang is also a mineralogist. He said many years ago

However, gems are the relics of the earth, and it is the essence of the earth’s energy that has been condensed for thousands of years into this beautiful thing. Different gems have different magnetic fields and mysterious powers.”

"Lao Jiang studied and integrated the magnetic fields, elements, and properties of various minerals and gemstones, and finally arranged this energy ring to allow the magnetic forces between the various minerals to restrain and balance each other, thus successfully connecting the two time and spaces."

"And this." Uncle Wen said and took out a dozen bracelets from the wooden basket. They were all arranged and combined with mineral gems like Sikong Shang. The beautiful gems were arranged in three circles and tightly connected together.

, very beautiful.

"Ah, so beautiful!" Duan Yue couldn't help but admire, picked up one and put it on his wrist.

"This was designed by Mr. Jiang himself. Because people travel through the time and space tunnel through Sikong, they must wear a bracelet with the same mineral elements and magnetic field as Sikong in order to be brought to that generation when time and space is torn apart, and it can also be maintained to a certain extent.

This ensures the stability and accuracy of transmission." Uncle Wen explained.

"If you look carefully at this bracelet, it is not inlaid with any metal or fixed with any glue. The gems are completely carved with precision. The mortise and tenon method is used to make dozens of gems fit together completely under the action of force. This is better than metal.

The inlay must be stable so that it cannot be scattered or broken. This kind of craftsmanship is extremely difficult. At that time, Jiang Lao asked a master of gold and silver jade carving named Ma to make a batch of them."

"The main reason why it takes so much trouble is because you cannot carry any metal when traveling through the time and space tunnel, not even denture hooks and women's birth control rings. Because metal elements are single and highly pure, they are extremely sharp and can be easily damaged.

The stability of the space-time magnetic field can at least cause confusion in the transmission time, and at worst can distort the space-time tunnel and damage the body of the teleporter." Uncle Wen said sternly.

"I'll go, if it's so scary, wouldn't it mean that someone's life would be in danger in a short while?" Zhuangzi asked with a look of horror on his face.

Uncle Wen nodded helplessly, looked up at Duan Fei and Duan Yue, and said sadly: "Yes, Chengkui became like that because of the iron arrowhead on his knee. Technical Team

It is speculated that the iron element destroyed the established magnetic field, distorted the space-time tunnel, and tore Chengkui's body."

Uncle Wen was very heartbroken by what happened to Duan Chengkui. In the first two years, Uncle Wen went to see him full of expectations, trying to find out the truth of the matter, even if he only knew a little about the situation back then, but he couldn't find out anything.

.

At this time, looking at the brother and sister with red eyes, Uncle Wen felt uncomfortable, so he could only divert their attention and continue: "The research team has gone through dozens of large and small research expeditions, although overall it is considered

It went smoothly, but it still experienced some hardships and setbacks, and a large part of the setbacks were caused by some hostile forces and profiteers in this world. They don't have Sikong, but they have bracelets."

"Didn't Mr. Jiang specially ask someone to make the bracelet? How did it get into the hands of those people?" Zhuo Zhan asked puzzledly.

"There is no airtight wall in the world. Although a confidentiality agreement must be signed every time, the information about the bracelet is still leaked. The bracelet does not have technical barriers like Sikong. Although the process is difficult, if top masters work together, it will still be

It can be copied. The two foreigners were the first to get it, and then the gangsters also got it. So every time the exploration team went through time, they would sneak in like thieves."

"And this, the universal currency, which is shells." Uncle Wen said, taking out a small cloth bag from the wooden basket and shaking it vigorously.

"In that era, the land was sparsely populated and the minerals were rich. There were gold, silver, and jade mines everywhere. But the most valuable thing at that time was shells, because shells in the sea were extremely difficult to salvage due to the conditions at that time. They were rare and precious, and they were also

The common currency they use to barter."

"Hey Mom, let me eat a few kilograms of scallops tomorrow, Mr. Zhuang, and take the shells over there to exchange for treasures. This trade will kill my parents in minutes!" Zhuangzi's eyes gleamed with excitement.

"I said you are not stupid anymore, you are completely stupid. Why are you using shells? Didn't you listen to Uncle Wen? There are gold, silver and jade mines all over the mountain. No one wants them, so just move them." Duan Fei

He slapped Zhuangzi mercilessly again.

"Hey, you two are on to something!" Uncle Wen's voice suddenly rose and he said in a serious tone: "It's always difficult for people to control their desires in the face of such huge interests, such a wealth of rare birds and animals, and rare treasures.

It has great commercial value to the present world. Therefore, Mr. Jiang has set a strict rule from the beginning: except for organizational research needs, members of the exploration team are not allowed to bring minerals, animals, and plants into the present world in any form. Once discovered, they will immediately

I will be kicked out of the research team and will never be hired back."

Uncle Wen paused, stared at everyone, and said solemnly: "So, the new exploration team you formed must also abide by the rules left by the previous exploration team, do you understand?"

"Hey, the new exploration team? It's very cool." Zhuangzi, a middle school student, was so excited that his eyes gleamed.

"That's right, the new exploration team." Uncle Wen repeated it again.

"However, as your new research team, don't forget me as an insider."

A cold voice came from upstairs. Everyone looked for the voice and saw Jiang Xueyan dressed in home clothes appearing behind the railing on the second floor, looking at them with a smile.

Uncle Wen smiled cheerfully: "You don't need to say anything, I will let you accompany them. You are experienced, so you can help me keep an eye on these stupid young people and don't cause anything else."

Disaster is coming."

"Uncle Wen, you underestimate us. We are very stable." Zhuangzi said harshly.

"Huh, steady? You are the most unstable guy." Uncle Wen curled his lips and reached out to touch Zhuangzi's nose.

"Hey!"

Zhuangzi ducked back. It didn't matter if he dodged. Uncle Wen's finger poked right into Zhuangzi's nostril, causing everyone to burst into laughter and relaxing the tense atmosphere.

Uncle Wen also laughed together, feeling so relaxed for the first time in several days.

Uncle Wen breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly: "Okay, I've let you know everything you need to know. Since we are going to restart Sikong and travel to the mountains and seas again, a lot of preparation work is indispensable. Next Friday night, after school, we will

Meet here, we will set off on Saturday.

"This week, I will work with Xue Yan to prepare the equipment for you to go there, and also re-adjust the observation equipment. What you have to do is to ensure your physical condition is healthy. You will still suffer some minor impacts when traveling through the time and space tunnel. You must

Only those with strong physiques can bear it. You must pay special attention to food hygiene and don't eat bad things." Uncle Wen glanced at Zhuangzi meaningfully.

"Master Zhuang, your stewed, spicy and fried skewers are all broken!" Duan Fei said sarcastically with a smile.

"Hey, it's easy to talk about this. How can a man as determined as me, Mr. Zhuang, still keep his mouth shut?"

"I don't think so, haha!" Duan Yue laughed.

"Okay, it's not too early today. It's almost 10 o'clock. You should go home quickly. Get ready when you go back, both mentally and physically."
