Chapter 79 Returning from Yin Shang
Li Zhanxiong came to the underground base where a mysterious figure was temporarily placed under house arrest. He was the immortal Lawrence, who helped the base find and pick up the Tang Long crew.
Because Katz mistook the "Express No. 1" and brought huge psychological shadow to Li Zhanxiong, he did not dare to relax his guard against Lawrence this time. Although Lawrence was almost "escorted" by Gao Tianjun to Base X, and Li Zhanxiong was forced to accept Jacob's suggestion and agreed that the immortal man would help the base to rescue Tang Long and the others. However, out of caution, Li Zhanxiong did not hand over the rescue helicopter to Lawrence himself to fly. Instead, he asked him to stay in this underground secret room and command the pilots carrying out the mission to find the entrance to the parallel space; not only that, Li Zhanxiong also put Gao Tianjun under house arrest alone in case he was controlled by the Immortal Man's intention, which brought unexpected results to his actions.
Lawrence knew very well that this was the influence of Katz, but it did not prevent him from showing his special abilities. He only looked at the pilot for a moment, then calmly went to the secret room prepared for him by Li Zhanxiong, sat on the bed and entered meditation... After a few hours, he knew that the mission had been successfully completed!
Li Zhanxiong first lifted Gao Tianjun's house arrest and took him to see Lawrence. The latter was sitting on the sofa in the secret room drinking Chinese beer leisurely.
"It seems we should raise our glasses together to celebrate!" Lawrence stood up, smiled and raised the wine glass in his hand, "Is it OK?"
Without saying a word, Li Zhanxiong poured himself a full glass, touched Lawrence, raised his head and drank it all. "Thank you for this glass of wine, Mr. Lawrence!"
Lawrence also dried the wine in one sip and wiping his mouth and praised: "Your Chinese beer is good! This is the first time I have drunk it!"
"Oh? Is that right? Then let's have another two drinks!" Li Zhanxiong said readily, "In our China, we have to have three drinks of celebration wine!"
Gao Tianjun and the accompanying staff stood aside, watching Li Zhanxiong and Lawrence toast continuously. They knew that Li Zhanxiong was under great pressure not only when it was looking for Tang Long's crew, but also mainly when it came to cooperate with the immortals! Now, he was relieved!
"Mr. Lawrence, I want to ask you a question." Li Zhanxiong patted Lawrence's arm affectionately and invited him to sit down. "Please tell me truthfully how you can control my pilot to enter and exit the parallel space in this secret room? That guy Katz needs to board my spaceship in person!"
"It depends on whether we can trust each other, Your Excellency."
"Oh? Don't I trust Katz enough?!"
"At least you don't need Katz as you need me today."
Li Zhanxiong picked up another bottle of beer and poured it into Lawrence and his own wine glasses. "I'm going to listen to you!"
"Although you agree to let Katz come here to help you, you have not clearly asked him to participate in a specific job. And I am honored! Although you only let me stay in this room, you have given me enough trust in your subconscious to allow me to meet your pilot. So, I can sense everything that the pilot is perceived here and tell him where to fly, just like I was flying a plane myself. In other words, if you could have Katz met your astronaut at the beginning, maybe Katz wouldn't have caused you trouble by himself!"
Gao Tianjun was listening quietly while thinking in his heart.
He had witnessed Jacob controlling Eisen with his own thoughts, and even experienced a collective hypnosis test under the leadership of Jacob's thoughts. Although he was not sure whether he and Eisen had really entered the "marginal space" for Jacob's thoughts, he believed that that "space" was by no means the real world. Now, the immortal Lawrence, with this long-range mind control ability, allowed the rescue helicopter pilot to accurately enter the alien space and successfully rescue the Tang Long crew, which undoubtedly proved once again that "thoughts" can play a guiding role in time and space switching.
So, is this relationship established between the transmitter and the receiver of thought that can instantly sense no matter how far apart, a real reaction of the "quantum entanglement" theory?!...
After meeting Lawrence privately, Li Zhanxiong arranged for Gao Tianjun to take Lawrence back to Kunlun Mountain. Before leaving, Li Zhanxiong gave Gao Tianjun some advice.
"The matter of Lawrence assisting the rescue of Tang Long's crew must be kept confidential, and it cannot be made public even within the '601'. After you return to Kunlun Mountain, you must pay attention to protecting the safety of Lawrence and Jacob's actions. Their role for us is unimaginable. The base will not rule out that they will provide support in the future." He paused for a moment and said a little hesitantly, "I received a notice from the joint issuance of the Ministry of State Security and CSDA that Martin is coming again. This time he changed his 'vv', and he came as a special observer of the United Nations. He will come next week. It seems that he still can't let go of you '601' and the immortals!"
"Why did the Ministry of State Security intervene?"
"Because, according to overseas intelligence, Martin had contact with a CIA staff member after returning to China, and the CIA had hunted Katz and Lawrence one after another, but neither succeeded. We are not sure about Martin's true identity at this time. Therefore, the Ministry of State Security put him on the list of key concerns."
"That's right!" Gao Tianjun paused for a moment and asked again, "Will you arrange for him to go to Kunlun Mountain?"
"It depends on the attitude above. However, if he was just allowed to stay in Nanbin, he would probably be uninterested."
Li Zhanxiong held a small secret meeting in the conference room of the X Base Command. The meeting was attended by the crew of Tang Long, the base's political commissar, deputy commander and several staff officers, and an archaeological researcher from the National Museum.
Tang Long's head and arms were still wrapped in gauze. His eyes swept across the white walls around the conference room and finally stopped on Li Zhanxiong. After several days and nights of isolation from the world, he returned to this familiar and intimate real environment!
Li Zhanxiong cleared his throat and began to speak: "Today's meeting is an informal ventilation and discussion meeting within us, mainly to understand some issues. So, don't take notes.
"More than 20 days ago, unknown cloud bodies arrived at the base. Major Tang Long, the squadron leader of the helicopter squadron, led Li Hui and Xu Xin, to fly the Zhi9 helicopter to approach the cloud bodies for reconnaissance mission. The aircraft lost contact when entering the cloud bodies. After the cloud bodies dissipated, the helicopter squadron sent multiple flights to search for three consecutive days, but no trace was found. At the same time, the base also urgently requested the air force to assist in the search, and the search scope was also expanded to the northwest, and many areas in North China were still unable to find them.
.Until yesterday afternoon, the flight control center of the helicopter squadron received a call signal from crew crew member Xu Xin, but the signal lasted very short and had strong noise interference. Fortunately, the squadron and several other pilots also received text messages from Li Hui, and we learned about the approximate area of the missing helicopter. However, these are all the situations on the surface, which are actually much more complicated than this. What I will talk about later is the most core, mysterious and strange situation of the entire incident.
"In the third week after the Tanglong crew lost contact, Gao Tianjun from '601' reported to me that they had received the news of 'marginal space'. The Tanglong crew landed somewhere in the North China Plain, with an unknown location, and it is said that it may be in another 'parallel space'. Regarding the main tasks of the '601' and the unknown events and 'marginal space' they are tracking and researching, I will basically know more or less, so I will not repeat it. I just want to tell you that the warning information of 'marginal space' received by '601' is accurate to date. Therefore, we have always chosen to believe it."
Li Zhanxiong took out an A4-sized card stock with the hieroglyphic word "Rainbow" printed on it.
"This is another message from the 'marginal space' received by '601' after the Tanglong crew lost contact. Coincidentally, at the landing site of Tanglong and others, the crew member Lieutenant Lie Hui also received such a symbol on the mobile phone. This is a hieroglyph that appeared in the Shang Dynasty, which represents the word 'rainbow' in modern Chinese and the rainbow'. At first, we guessed whether it could be interpreted as the word 'bridge', because in ancient times, the rainbow in the sky was often regarded as a bridge connecting the heaven and the mortal world. According to this
One meaning, we can understand it as: if we can find a certain passage - the bridge represented by this rainbow, we can find Major Tang Long and others and take them home. Obviously, it has indeed come true as a harbinger of the 'bridge', because we finally found the Tang Long unit and took them home; but today, I think we should understand another meaning of it - that is, it may mean that the parallel space where Tang Long and others are located was in the Shang Dynasty more than 3,000 years ago!”
"During the Shang Dynasty?!" Tang Long was stunned.
"Yes. Regarding this issue, please ask Comrade Liao Changqing, a first-level researcher at the National Museum to give you an explanation." Li Zhanxiong said.
Liao Changqing, a first-level researcher at the National Museum, was the only one among the participants who were not wearing military uniforms. He looked over 60 years old, with gray hair and a pair of black-framed glasses. He stood up and bowed politely to everyone, then held his glasses and took out a stack of photos from his briefcase, including several pictures of the bronze spear brought back by Tang Long.
"We have tested the copper spear brought back by Major Tang Long, proving that it was built more than 3,000 years ago." Liao Changqing said, "And the hieroglyphs engraved on the copper spear also mean that it belongs to the leaders of a country on the North China Plain during the Shang Dynasty. During the Shang Dynasty, in addition to the royal family having a strong army, the leaders of various clans, or subordinate countries also had a considerable number of troops. These leaders were responsible for maintaining local stability in normal times and leading troops in wartime. And the army at that time
Most of them are composed of infantry and chariot soldiers, and the combat methods are mostly mainly chariot warfare. The chariots are usually led by two horses, each with three armored soldiers. The drivers are in the middle. The soldiers on both sides hold bows and arrows and long spears, and shoot with arrows from the distance, and attack with long spears when the nearest. Under the chariot, several infantry people follow them, thus forming a basic combat unit, also called 'Chi'. Based on the production date of the bronze spear and the hieroglyphs above, we judge that this bronze spear is the head of the long spear used on the chariots of the army of the states in the Shang Dynasty."
"No wonder!" Tang Long said, "Li Hui and I once saw a team of people there, like a team of marching soldiers. There were chariots and flags in the team... but it was foggy and couldn't see clearly, and then it disappeared instantly! At first I thought it was a performance team or film and television crew in a village. Later, I discovered this bronze spear and felt that such a heavy metal could not be a prop. Moreover, after I obtained the coordinates of the landing point through observation and measurement, I became even more suspicious. Because I was very familiar with that area - now there are no continuous farmlands, but industrial new areas, and the transportation and road network is also very developed, and there is no large area of wasteland at all!"
"Tang Long's description is the most critical!" Li Zhanxiong said. "Let's imagine if the team that Tang Long and Li Hui saw suddenly appeared and mysteriously disappeared in the wilderness was not a film and television crew or a rural performance team, but a team of leaders of the Fang Kingdom, and this bronze spear happened to be left behind by that team, then is all this revealing to us that Tang Long's crew really traveled through time and landed in the territory of a Fang Kingdom during the Shang Dynasty?!"
"I would like to talk about my personal views on this issue here." Researcher Liao Changqing continued, "We are no longer surprised by the UFO incident, but we don't know whether it is an alien or a time-traveling of humans on Earth. However, after understanding the entire incident of Tang Long's crew losing contact to being rescued, I suddenly thought of a question - there were many records or legends about witnessing UFOs in ancient my country, such as the "Shiyi Ji" that "In the third year of the reign of King Cheng, a country of Nili came to pay tribute, and the person said that he was spontaneous.
The country has been walking through the clouds, and the sound of thunder is underneath...' and the "fire from above to below, as for the king's house, it flows into black, its color is red, its sound is soul, etc., all records events that occurred more than 3,000 years ago during the Shang Dynasty, and they also describe UFOs and people falling from the sky. Therefore, can we make such a bold assumption that the events recorded in ancient books are not pure myths or monsters, but may be real? Or maybe it is what we modern people travel through?!"
"Old Li," said the political commissar, shook his head, "It may not be appropriate for you to infer this way! As the political commissar of the base, I need to remind you that if you think about it casually, it is not appropriate to express it publicly!"
"My point of view is that science is just a summary of known things and their operating laws, and when facing unknown things, sometimes it still needs to rely on imagination and speculation."
"Okay, I don't object to your way of discussion. It's just that I'm a layman in this regard, so it's useless to listen. You can continue. I'll have a few more talks later, so I'll withdraw first." The political commissar gently left a step for himself and Li Zhanxiong, and then left with a smile.
Li Zhanxiong's emotions were not affected by the political commissar's departure from the middle of the journey. He seemed to have already opened his mind. "In addition, I also noticed a very strange phenomenon: we asked Tang Long, Li Hui and Xu Xin respectively, and they all answered with certainty that it only took less than 4 days from their landing to their final rescue; but in the base record, they had disappeared for a full 21 days! This made us think of Gao Tianjun and Eisen who came back from the UK on British Airways Flight 4577, the plane had only 30 minutes in the clouds, but they disappeared on the ground for 10 days. And according to the report of '601', Flight 4577 also entered the so-called 'parallel space'. Therefore, we may also need to prove the question: Assuming there is 'parallel space', will the law of time be different in parallel space and in the real world?"
"Not only that, judging from the sudden disappearance of the team that Tang Long and the others saw, even in parallel space, time may be disordered." said a staff officer.
"Maybe, that's caused by our time travel..." Tang Long thought about it and asked another question: "Chief, since we have traveled to the Shang Dynasty, how did the rescue team pass?"
