I really have special powers

Chapter 176 Divine Mission and Numbers

"coming."

Mr. Grunfield, who was wearing a childlike suit and tie like a little adult, sat on the swing in the back garden of his home, watching the fallen leaves on the ground begin to move without wind, and quickly gathered to form a string of numbers.

202906170115
This string of numbers must appear on time at 14:[-] on the last day of the month.

Appearing in various supernatural ways, like magic.

Sometimes it appears in his notebook, sometimes it shows up in the form of water stains when he goes to the toilet, and even more magically, it appears in his room with his clothes, and there are numbers formed by building blocks and toys. .

Without exception, they are all numbers.

In 1977, Grunfield, who was only 9 years old, faced this string of numbers for half a year. From the panic at the beginning to the calm acceptance later, he couldn't help but have such an idea in his mind.

He wants to figure out what this string of numbers means.

At only 9 years old, he likes to read a lot of books. It is not uncommon for him to spend all day in the library. The adults are even worried about his health and tell him to play on the lawn more. Maybe football is more interesting than reading books. Fun.

Grunfield refused. He had to figure out what the numbers meant.

He began to look up books, trying to find the answer from the book, but it was not easy, and it was impossible to explain this in the book as a teaching material.Until one day, when he was thinking hard about this number in the library, the librarian, who was already familiar with him, came over, glanced at him, and said, "Isn't this time?"

"time?"

Little Grenfield asked in confusion: "20:29 minutes and 06 seconds? But what about the numbers behind it?"

"No, I'm talking about the year and month..."

"Year and month? There are only 12 months in a year, where are the 20 months?"

"No, the standard date format in the United States is month/day/year, and the standard date format in the UK is day/month/year, but in East Asia, their standard date format is year/month/day, so this string of numbers looks like It looks like 2029:6 a.m. on June 17, 1."

After the librarian finished speaking, he took the mop and left.

Grunfield suddenly realized, "Is it time?"

However, when the boy understood this, a bigger doubt arose, "If it is time, why is it 51 years later?"

This is half a century apart!

Grunfield couldn't understand.

It just happened by accident.

The 8-month number appeared, changed, and after the time, a more complex long sequence of numbers was revealed.

And this string of numbers was so complicated that Grunfield couldn't figure it out.

Ever since, he was born with such a sense of mission. This string of numbers must be related to saving the world...

Well, although after that, this string of numbers continued to appear on time at the end of every month, it never appeared again after Glenfield turned 12 years old.

After that, Grunfield entered high school where study and life were more complicated, entered university, entered society, entered the workplace... and had long forgotten the string of numbers and life experiences.

Now he is 55 years old and is a senior official of NASA. He has a wife and children who are about to graduate from college. He has a happy life.

but……

Grenfield's eyes were blurred for a moment, and then he met Yu Ze's eyes again. He secretly felt that this young man's eyes were so clear.

He knows this young man from China. Perhaps everyone in the United States who has not left society must know this young man who has been particularly popular recently.

Grunfield was very surprised when he heard the other party calling his name. Didn't he just see this young man talking to the president?
Why do you come to say hello to yourself?No, how did the other party know his name?
Logically speaking, he is not a famous NASA official. There are so many celebrities here, so it is not his turn anyway, right?
Besides, how did the other party know his name? "Hello, Mr. Yu!"

Despite his surprise, Grunfield responded quickly.

"Mr. Grunfield, can we two talk?"

Yu Ze glanced at the man next to him.

The man was very smart and nodded politely and walked away.

"Mr. Grunfield, do you remember this time?"

Yu Ze took out a note and handed it to Grunfield.

He was still wondering what Yu Ze wanted to discuss with him in private, so he took the note and read it in confusion - 202906170115.

"what is this……"

Before Grunfield could finish his words, memories that had been buried for a long time suddenly hit his brain, like being struck by lightning.

"And this..."

Yu Ze handed over another note, and Grunfield took it again blankly. This time, not only the dusty memory, but also the feeling that he already knew the answer came to his heart.

"ICRS coordinates!"

Grunfield blurted out.

Yes, he remembered!

My childhood experience made this dusty memory really profound. Even if I forget it as time goes by, I can quickly recall it after triggering the keyword.

Forget about 202906170115, he also recalled the second string of numbers.

Only then did he realize that the number that he couldn't figure out when he was a child, and even after asking many adults for help, couldn't figure it out, turned out to be ICRS coordinates!

This is normal. ICRS is the abbreviation of the International Celestial Reference System. It is the celestial reference system standard currently adopted by the International Astronomical Union. However, it was only adopted at the 1997rd General Assembly in 23 and was officially launched in 1998.

No wonder he couldn’t understand the meaning of those numbers when he was a child, because it would be a full 20 years before ICRS would be adopted, and it wouldn’t be launched until he was 30 years old!

"Why you……"

Grunfield stopped talking and looked sideways solemnly, "Mr. Yu, please follow me."

They walked to another uninhabited corner, and Yu Ze motioned to the two guards to pay attention to the approach of others. Only then did Grunfield suppress his excitement: "Mr. Yu, why do you know these two sets of data?"

"Mr. Grenfield, the end of the world is about to come."

As soon as Yu Ze spoke, he calmed Grenfield.

There are two reasons. The first is that these two sets of numbers are supernatural phenomena he witnessed when he was a child. He forgot them as time went by, but he can also recall them after triggering the keywords, which is unforgettable.

The second reason is his position. He is the head of the Planetary Defense Coordination Office. He is a senior NASA official who is responsible for preventing doomsday disasters on Earth. He is quite sensitive to the word doomsday.

After taking several deep breaths, Grunfield calmed down: "Mr. Yu, why do you say that?"

"These two sets of data are time and ICRS coordinate systems. Perhaps, Mr. Grunfield, you should verify it through your own efforts."

Sometimes curiosity and confusion are the best sources of motivation to drive a person's actions.
