Chapter 476 The Mysterious Department!
In her previous life, she had never seen those people on TV or the internet, nor had she ever heard of this experimental base. This place must be quite extraordinary.
After exiting the gate, all the car windows were closed, and the scenery outside could no longer be seen from inside.
Gu Yin originally wanted to ask the teacher, but seeing that the driver was wearing a military uniform and looked like this, it was obviously not a good place to ask questions.
The car took them all the way to the laboratory at Qingdao University. After the car drove away, the three of them, the teacher and the student, went into the laboratory.
There was no one in the lab at the moment, so Gu Yin voiced her doubts.
"Teacher, what is the 101 Experimental Base?"
Old Cheng paused in his drinking water: "You just saw the gate?"
Gu Yin nodded: "Yes, what's wrong?"
Yue Zemin asked in confusion, "Experimental Base 101? Where? Was that the place we just saw? I didn't see it."
Old Cheng smiled and put down his teacup, then looked at the two of them seriously and said with admiration, "The 101 Experimental Base is our country's military experimental base. It is not open to the public, and the things it develops are all classified. Every country has its own secret weapons, and every country has some mysterious things. The 101 is the same."
Secret weapon, mysterious existence, Gu Yin opened her mouth: "The kind in the movies?" Gu Yin slowly uttered the two words.
Old Cheng nodded: "More or less."
Yue Zemin's eyes widened! He struggled to utter the last word, "life..." for a long time.
Gu Yin took a deep breath: "Teacher, when we went there yesterday, I saw the names again, and... we didn't have to sign any confidentiality agreements?" If she had known it was that kind of place, she wouldn't have been curious! Curiosity kills! She should have realized it when that person was eating the egg. Many scientists are extremely crazy for their experiments. Where else could such a crazy person be? Besides that mysterious place!
Old Cheng looked at her meaningfully: "Before you went in, all the documents were already placed on the leader's desk. After you left the gate, the people monitoring you were already there. So it doesn't matter whether you sign that agreement or not. Moreover, it seems that they want you two to work there after graduation. I wonder what you think?"
Yue Zemin quickly refused: "I...I can't do it! I'm just an ordinary teacher, I don't have that ability! Besides, I'm not good with my mouth, I'm afraid I'll tell the secret when I'm asleep! Then my whole family will be finished! I can't do it, I'll pass!"
Gu Yin couldn't decide for the time being. Going there would mean being almost completely isolated from the world, but she couldn't do that right now. She was a homebody, loved being with her family, loved good food, and loved enjoying life. She was just an ordinary person.
But if she becomes powerful enough, then her ultimate destination might really be that.
"Aren't the teachers staff members inside?"
Old Cheng shook his head and then nodded: "I used to be one, but then the radiation made my body unhealthy, so I came here to teach students. If the third brother doesn't want to go, then he doesn't have to go. As for Ayin, don't rush to refuse. You can decide after you graduate with your bachelor's degree in four years. Going there really requires a lot of courage and determination, and it's not something that ordinary people can handle."
Gu Yin asked in surprise, "So the teacher's liver problem was caused by radiation from the stuff inside?"
Old Cheng nodded and said with a smile, "This is just an accident, the probability is very low, there's no need to be nervous. Moreover, the higher-ups have done everything they can, sending both Western and traditional Chinese medicine doctors to treat me. Although it can't cure me, it can at least reduce some of the pain. I'm already this old, I've lived enough. I'm already very satisfied to have completed the mission. Besides, I can still come out and teach students. With you students, I have no regrets in this life."
Gu Yin and Yue Zemin fell silent. The topic was heavy. They could understand the sentiment and belief of sacrificing oneself for the country and the people, but at present, they might really back down if asked to do these things. It wasn't that they were afraid, but that they were afraid of the unknown.
Once you're exposed to radiation, as Old Cheng said, you're gone, that's all. It's not a big deal. But if you don't die and instead turn into some kind of monstrous species that can't even die, that's truly despair!
Old Master Cheng patted Gu Yin on the shoulder: "Don't be so serious, you're still young, just focus on your studies!"
Gu Yin nodded. Her previous goal was to change her family's fate and find the enemy who had ruined their lives. After the enemy was captured and her biological family was found, she thought about studying hard, doing more experiments, and making more medicines and vaccines to relieve the suffering of patients with serious diseases. Until the time of our conversation, this was her plan.
As a result of Mr. Cheng's words, Gu Yin was a little confused. Forget it, she decided to stop thinking about it for now. The teacher was right. She was still young, and her main task was to study hard. She could deal with the rest later. Maybe when she got older and had more experience, she would be able to figure out what she wanted to do!
Thinking of her teacher's soldiers, Gu Yin felt helpless. She originally thought that Teacher Cheng had ordinary cirrhosis, but now that she knew it was from radiation, his genes and other things might have changed. This really couldn't be rushed! All her previous plans were disrupted, and she had to start from scratch.
After saying goodbye to her teacher, Gu Yin returned to her dormitory. Yu Lulu and Xiang Xingmang had just woken up and were surprised to see her return.
Xiang Xingmang put on his glasses and looked at Gu Yin: "Why are you here at this hour? You only have two classes at ten o'clock today!"
Gu Yin put down her bag: "I stayed in the lab all night last night and I'm really tired. I'm catching up on sleep now. Are you guys going to have breakfast or go to the library later?"
Yu Lulu lay back down: "It's the beginning of the semester, don't curl up so much, I'm going to sleep."
Xiang Xingmang, who had originally planned to go to the library, lay back down upon seeing this: "If you're not going, I'm not going either!"
Gu Yin took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and went to bed.
I woke up again at 9:30.
When Gu Yin got up, she saw Xiang Xingmang and Yu Lulu reading books in their seats.
Seeing that Gu Yin had woken up, Yu Lulu pointed to the milk and boiled eggs on the table: "We woke up around eight o'clock, but we didn't wake you because you were sleeping soundly. We went to the cafeteria and brought you some food. Just eat this for now. You can have lunch after two classes."
Gu Yin nodded: "Thanks! I'll go wash up first."
After washing up, Gu Yin peeled an egg and asked, "Did you all get to know each other in class yesterday? Tell me about your class."
Xiang Xingmang put down his book: "There are 30 people in our class, half male and half female. Ten of them are top scorers in their respective provinces. Your student number is 01. Our class teacher is Meng Yu, a young female teacher who teaches us biology. Our counselor is a boy, and a handsome one at that! His name is Liu Chong, and he just graduated from university. I haven't paid much attention to the others."
Yu Lulu nodded in agreement: "Yesterday we introduced ourselves and then got our textbooks. We've already brought yours back for you. Right now, everyone is in their own dorm and doesn't know anyone else. We're all still getting to know each other, but we'll probably get to know each other in a few days. Oh, by the way, we're electing class officers tonight. Are you free?"
Gu Yin nodded: "I think so."
Yu Lulu and Xiang Xingmang exchanged a glance and sighed in unison: "People with mentors are just different. They're so busy! We'll have to wait until we're in graduate school to get mentors. Seeing how busy you are, we feel guilty even if we get a few extra minutes of sleep!"
Gu Yin smiled and took out the textbooks for today's class: "Isn't that great? Pressure is the best motivation! When you graduate, your biggest feeling will probably be having a roommate like me who spurred you on!"
The two shook their heads, picked up their textbooks, and went downstairs.
"1021, 1022, over here, 1024 over here!" Yu Lulu pointed to the classroom, and Gu Yin and Xiang Xingmang walked over from the other side.
This is a small classroom. Today's two classes are for students from our own major, not large lectures, so only students from our major are attending.
The first class was Meng Yu's class.
When Meng Yu came in, she saw Gu Yin in the last row. Gu Yin smiled and stood on the podium.
"Gu Yin, come sit in the first row."
The whole class looked back.
Gu Yin silently stood up and tugged at Xiang Xingmang and Yu Lulu: "Come with me to the first row."
The first and second rows were empty; everyone had gathered in the last few rows.
It would indeed be a bit awkward if Gu Yin sat there alone, so Yu Lulu and Xiang Xingmang followed suit, willing to risk their lives to accompany her.
Meng Yu looked at the others: "I won't say anything about the first class. I hope the first and second rows will be full next class. You're here to attend class. If you're not going to sit in the front and listen to the lecture, do you want to sit in the back and play on your phones or sleep? Then I suggest you withdraw from school now and go back to retake the college entrance exam, otherwise you'll all be wasting your lives! Alright, let's start class."
Everyone was terrified during this class, and dared not make any small movements.
