After a long while, the gentleman heard a reply that surprised him.
The woman before him spoke in an unquestionable tone, "But we Xia people have been taught since childhood that man can conquer nature. As long as we haven't reached a point of certain death, there's still a glimmer of hope. Have you ever heard a line of Xia poetry?"
"What?"
Ai Yu smiled and replied, "When you are surrounded by mountains and rivers and think there is no way out, you will find another village when you turn around."
Hearing this, the gentleman's pupils contracted slightly, as if deeply touched. He slowly stood up, took off his hat, and bowed respectfully to Ai Yu. "Miss Ai Yu, I appreciate your advice. I really hope we can have another opportunity to have such a relaxing and pleasant conversation like today. However, it's time for me to take my leave now."
After saying that, he turned and left, leaving behind an elegant back.
After the gentleman left, Ai Yu reopened her notebook, took out her laptop, and sent an email to Ouyang Mingyuan. After doing this, she closed her eyes and searched for information about Blue Star in her mind.
Researchers have divided the Earth's crust into the inner core, outer core, upper and lower mantle, and crust. The outer core, composed of liquid iron and nickel, remains liquid because of insufficient pressure. It also contains Eddy currents, which are believed to affect the planet's magnetic field.
Unfortunately, humans still haven't been able to retrieve samples from the Earth's core thousands of kilometers below for direct chemical analysis. The only method available for determining the core's composition is seismology combined with mineral physics. Mineral physics determines the density and wave velocity of different components, then compares them with the corresponding values in the Earth's core to determine the core's composition.
Therefore, many mysteries remain within the Earth's core. The unknown often breeds fear. If, as the gentleman suggests, the Law Beast was born in the outer core, then with current human technology, it would be impossible to even observe it.
How could she prove this? It was a real problem, and she couldn't call on the most advanced scientific research experts to discuss it. Even if she did, they might think she was joking.
Ai Yu sighed deeply, lay on the table and looked towards the window.
There was a thick layer of ice on the glass, making it impossible to see the outside world clearly, only blurry light and shadows.
After a while, a figure suddenly appeared in Ai Yu's mind. She quickly opened her phone's address book, found the person's number, and dialed without hesitation. After the call was connected, it rang for a long time before the other party slowly answered: "Hello?"
"Ling Xiaoan, if I remember correctly, you should be a mixed-race child of Xia and Ta, right? And your father seems to be doing quite well in Ta." Ai Yu tightly gripped the pen in his hand, thinking secretly in his heart.
Her clones were able to thrive in countries around the world, but encountered some obstacles in Tajikistan, making many investigations difficult to carry out.
At this moment, Ling Xiaoan was leisurely lying on a lounge chair, enjoying the sunshine and breeze. Hearing Ai Yu's voice, she frowned slightly, then nonchalantly took the fruit slice handed to her by the bodyguard beside her, took a light bite, and said lightly, "So what? What, are you asking me for help?"
"Yeah," Ai Yu replied crisply, which surprised Ling Xiaoan. She paused for a moment, then sneered, "You want my help? That's not an easy task, and it won't be cheap. But... considering you're both my classmate and colleague, I'll reluctantly help you this time."
"I know that Ta's scientific research level is at the top level, so I want to ask you, is there any way to find Ta's latest research results on the outer core of the blue planet?" Ai Yu stated his purpose directly.
"The latest research results on the outer core? Why would you want that?" After hearing this, Ling Xiaoan's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief. She even began to wonder if there was something wrong with her ears. "I'm not Santa Claus. You can't just make a wish and have it come true."
"Okay, then I won't bother you anymore." After saying that, Ai Yu was ready to hang up the phone.
"Wait a minute." Seeing that the other party was about to hang up, Ling Xiaoan hurriedly called out. After hearing the voice, Ai Yu's finger on the hang-up button paused slightly, and he uttered a puzzled "Hmm?"
"I'll ask my dad to find out for you," Ling Xiaoan said as he gently stroked Ole in his arms. Ole had grown stronger and stronger over time, and even the patterns on his fur were more clearly visible than before. "But I can't guarantee that I'll be able to find the relevant information, so it's best not to get your hopes up too high."
Ai Yu raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile: "Well, thank you very much, Ling Xiaoan." Ling Xiaoan snorted softly, and said in a slightly rising tone: "I have helped you a lot this time. You must remember my kindness for the rest of your life."
"Okay." In response to Ling Xiaoan's words, Ai Yu simply responded.
For a moment, Ling Xiaoan was speechless, not knowing what to say next. She casually tossed her phone to the bodyguard beside her, a look of helplessness in her eyes.
The bodyguard had obviously not anticipated this situation. After frantically catching the phone, he cautiously reminded her, "Miss...it seems like you haven't hung up yet..."
"Can't you hang up for me? Don't you want to take your bonus this month?" Ling Xiaoan's face darkened as she sternly scolded him. Then, she gave another order, "Hurry up and send an email to my father, asking if he's available soon. And please help me find out about the latest research progress on Tajikistan's foreign nuclear program."
"Miss, what exactly is this 'outer core' you're talking about?" the bodyguard asked in confusion.
Ling Xiaoan rolled his eyes and responded unhappily, "You only regret not having read enough when you need it! I told you to read more, but you refused to listen and only thought about raising pigs!"
After hearing this, the bodyguard retorted aggrievedly, "Miss, you don't know that raising pigs is not an easy task these days. Even if I wanted to, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to..."
"Hurry up and go. If you keep dawdling, I'll deduct your salary later."
"yes!"
Ling Xiaoan looked at the warm sun in the sky, stretched herself, and was about to take a sunbath when someone called again. Her face darkened and she reached out to take back her phone: "Who is it? Be careful or I'll kill you."
Jian Kaiheng said nonchalantly: "Oh, then kill me, I don't want to go to work anymore."
"That won't work. If you don't go to work, I will have to go to work."
Jian Kaiheng rolled his eyes in anger and frustration: "Come to work, dear Archangel. Sister specifically told you to do this alone and not let your bodyguard do it for you."
Ling Xiaoan raised his eyebrows and said, "Go ahead."
Jian Kaiheng said as he typed on the keyboard: "000 has joined the Angels. Now Sister needs you to get along with 000."
"The non-existent S?"
"right."
Ling Xiaoan curled his lips slightly: "I understand."
