Chapter 848: Shock!
When the four arrived at the foot of the Kunlun Mountains, it was already evening. It was the familiar transit station, where a special vehicle was already waiting.
Gu Yin looked at the two who were already a bit tired: "Are you going to rest here tonight or travel through the night?" The two were still doctoral students and usually did morning exercises. It would be difficult to continue doing experiments if their physical condition wasn't good, because they often had to work overtime and stay up late. So they would exercise whenever they had free time.
Wenxin was observing the mountains that she had only seen in geography magazines. Before she could even marvel at the wonders and marvels of nature, she heard Gu Yin's question.
She quickly shook her head: "No need, we're not tired. We've been sitting the whole way, how could we be tired? Let's hurry to the base."
Zhang Chengming nodded in agreement to travel through the night. Besides, neither Gu Yin nor Gu Ran, who were younger than them, complained of being tired, so how could he, a young and strong man, complain of being tired?
Seeing their attitude, Gu Yin agreed. She didn't want to waste time on the road; she wanted to get back sooner, do the experiments earlier, and Chu Yan could return sooner as well.
"Alright, let's eat something first, which will also serve as a rest. We'll set off after we finish eating. You guys should eat more later. After we go in, there's no man's land, then desert, and glaciers and snow-capped mountains. It will require a lot of physical strength, so make sure you eat your fill."
The guards brought Gu Yin and the others warm food. Gu Yin was surprised: "Why is there food this time?" The altitude here is high, so cooking is not very convenient. Most of the time, everyone eats noodles, which is simple and convenient.
The soldier delivering the food smiled and said, "The higher-ups called us in advance and even sent over the food. From now on, there will be a special route to deliver the supplies our transit station needs. Next time you come out, it will still be food!" There aren't many guards here, so everyone eats as simply as possible. It's not that the leaders don't provide, it's just that they don't want to go through all that trouble!
That's good. She had thought about it last time: even if you're alone here, you have to make sure the logistics are in place! The environment is already harsh, and the food is so simple, who can stand it? It's pointless, isn't it? She originally wanted to mention it to Jinla when she went back this time, but she didn't expect that someone had already made the arrangements.
"Thank you. Could you please bring me some more hot water? We'd like to drink some to warm ourselves up."
The soldiers nodded, and when they came out again, Gu Yin and the others were already eating.
"These are the clothes for going into the mountains. Remember to change into them later. Here's hot water and a thermos; they were just delivered this morning." He then turned to leave.
Gu Yin called out to them, "We are destined to meet. I have come and gone three times, and you have been the ones to entertain me. I don't know when I will come out again, or even if you will still be here. This is medicine I made myself. It can improve physical strength. I'll give you a few pills. Share them with me!" After giving him the medicine, Gu Yin then distributed some to Wen Xin and the other two.
"Eat up, so you'll have the energy for the journey."
Wenxin and Zhang Chengming knew how good Gu Yin's medicine was, so they swallowed it without any hesitation. Gu Ran was simply greedy! When the medicine came out again, she smelled its spiritual energy!
In front of the soldiers, Gu Yin made Gu Ran and the other two eat it so that they wouldn't suspect anything.
The soldier wasn't ungrateful. They knew about the special nature of Gu Yin and her group, though not much. But they knew that these people didn't have anything simple. What they gave them must be something that money couldn't buy outside, or something that even the higher-ups wouldn't have.
"Comrade Zhou, we have regulations that prevent us from taking your things," the soldier said, looking troubled.
Gu Yin understood: "Don't worry, I can make the decision about this. But I'll let my superiors know. You can also report it to them. Take it."
The soldier nodded happily upon hearing this, took the things, and went back.
After telling his comrades, he immediately reported to his superiors. The leader on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, then smiled enviously and said, "You guys are incredibly lucky. Alright, it's yours now. Take good care of it, and don't use it unless absolutely necessary. This thing is for saving lives! Stand guard properly!"
"Received!" The soldier jumped up and down with joy after hanging up the phone, then straightened his clothes before continuing his guard duty.
After Gu Yin and the others finished their meal and rested for a while, they began their journey.
All the scenes they encountered on the road exceeded Wenxin and Zhang Chengming's understanding of what they had grown up with. If the food on the road exceeded their understanding, then what they saw and heard when they entered the base in the canyon shattered and rebuilt their worldview!
"Is this really modern civilization? Or is it interstellar civilization? Or is it definitely the 21st century?" Wen Xin followed behind Gu Yin, walking quickly while keeping her eyes glued to the square, which was clearly not a modern building.
"Welcome to the future technology, the construction base for space battlefield equipment and weapons. Here you will witness the birth of a new world, or rather, the birth of a new world will be built by your own hands! Think about it, the fighter jets, space carriers, aircraft, transport planes, and other high-tech weapons and equipment flying in space in the future will all be built with your participation. This is our country's most important project, the 'Wuji Project.' Wuji means endless and boundless. In ancient Chinese philosophy, it is considered the origin of all things in the universe. Because it is formless, imageless, soundless, colorless, without beginning or end, and cannot be named, it is called Wuji, see 'Taiji.' So you should know that you are about to participate in such a great and unimaginable project! Aren't you excited, thrilled, and full of passion?!" Gu Yin opened the office door and smiled at the two people who were already stunned.
Who hasn't read a few space novels? Who hasn't seen a few space movies? Who hasn't been awestruck by the scenes and weaponry while watching them? Or who hasn't wished their own country had these things?!
Now someone has personally told them! The things they've been waiting for are already under research! And some research results have already been achieved! And they will both participate in even more research in the future! They will be involved in those future technological devices! Who wouldn't be excited?!
"Can we?! Can we really participate?!" Wen Xin's pupils were slightly unfocused; it felt like a dream. This was something they, who hadn't even graduated with their doctorates, could participate in? All that equipment and weaponry—weren't they all built by top-tier professionals? Even the odd jobs were done by professors or something like that. Just the two of them? Could they really do it?
Gu Yin laughed and patted her hard: "Snap out of it, I'm here, you can do it! Okay, come over here, this is my office, inside is the biomedical lab, across from it is the physics lab. You'll be helping me with the biomedical lab from now on, as for the other lab, you'll just be my assistants. Work hard, everyone here is our teacher, so be diligent. These are all national-level experts, it would be a blessing if we could learn something from them!"
Gu Yin never considered herself a big shot. She was still just a student in her early twenties, still on the path of learning. Not only did Wen Xin and others have to learn, but she also had to learn.
"We know!" Wen Xin nodded vigorously!
Zhang Chengming was so glad that he agreed to come. He truly had no regrets in this life!
