Earth Era

? Li Yunfan's words made Zhao Lan fall into a brief silence again. After a short while, Zhao Lan responded: "But... Li Yunfan, if you don't tell the police about you, it would be a complete act of kindness and righteousness. Why should I help you? After all, the relationship between us seems to be It's not that good, just not long ago, you stole my spaceship, causing inconvenience to my movement."

"I have no reason to help you." Zhao Lan repeated, "I have no obligation to help you."

"No, you have enough reasons to help me." Li Yunfan's response already brought a little smile: "For the good cooperation between you and me, I don't mind telling you a little bit about my identity. , If I'm not mistaken, when you return to Earth this time, in addition to taking a vacation, you have plans to visit Professor Sid, right?"

Professor Sid is a highly prestigious theoretical physicist. In recognition of his contributions to the scientific community, the first university in human civilization once awarded him the position of honorary professor, so people generally call him Professor Sid. But this person has an eccentric temperament and rarely communicates with others, so the general public outside of the scientific community is generally unaware of this person's existence.

Zhao Lan does have plans to visit Professor Sid. Zhao Lan got this opportunity by chance. It is very rare to be able to accept the teachings of a senior scientist in person, so Zhao Lan attaches great importance to this matter.

"How did you know that I was going to visit Professor Sid?" Zhao Lan asked with some doubts.

Li Yunfan replied with a smile: "Because...Professor Sid is me, and I am Professor Sid. This is just one of several identities I have on the surface. In addition, painter Sun Wei, psychologist Wilson, Davis, an expert in condensed matter physics, and Anderson, an expert in black hole... These are all me. Of course. These are just side jobs that I do casually. My original occupation is a thief, and I am Li Yunfan."

"What?!" Zhao Lan covered his mouth in surprise, so shocked that he couldn't believe it. Because of the names mentioned by Li Yunfan, everyone can be regarded as a leader in their own industry, and can be said to be a master figure, such as the painter Sun Wei. His paintings have been sold at auction houses for record high prices several times, such as psychologist Wilson, who even served as a psychological adviser to the Führer, and Anderson, who has published several groundbreaking papers on black holes Each of these people is so famous that even people outside the industry of Zhao Lan have heard of it. But now, Li Yunfan said that those people are just his identity, and. Just a casual side hustle?

Zhao Lan couldn't believe this at all. The most important point is that although these people are famous people. But their personalities, appearances, growth backgrounds, social interactions and other circles are all different. It can be said that they are irrelevant people. Who would have thought that these people are actually the same person?

"You must be joking, you must be." Zhao Lan murmured, "It's impossible, it's absolutely impossible."

"It doesn't matter if you don't believe it now. When you return to Earth, you will confirm all this with your own eyes and ears." Li Yunfan continued, "So now, do you believe in my ability? Especially. Now I am personally in this empty universe, and I have started researching the strange space that exists in the solar system early in the morning, so... If there is one person in our human civilization who can prevent this disaster If so, then this person can only be me. So, you are not just helping me escape this empty universe and return to our universe. You are saving the entire human civilization. In this case... Are you willing to help me? And me?"

"But... since you have so many outstanding identities, you believe in wealth or social status, honor and the like are all things that you can ask for. Why do you want to be a thief?" Zhao Lan muttered. asked.

Li Yunfan continued with a smile and said: "Because I like it. I like the feeling of playing with everyone in the palm of my hand, I like watching others even if they think about it, they can't understand my arrangement, and I like to appear in society with different identities. The feeling that everyone is being kept in the dark. Don't you think it's funny?"

"Including stealing my spaceship?" Zhao Lan asked weakly, rubbing his forehead.

"This matter is a bit special, and I will explain the specific reasons to you later." Li Yunfan replied, "Okay, let's communicate with each other first. After you return to Earth, you might as well contact a name. The guy named Rodriguez, I will send you the contact information and password later. After you tell him the password, he will take you to my laboratory. When you see mine After the experimental data, you will believe everything I say."

What I have seen and heard today is really amazing. Everything this guy named Li Yunfan said sounds like nonsense, like the ravings of a lunatic, but there is something that makes people difficult to find. Logic and persuasion from faults and flaws. Especially the sentence: "When you see my laboratory, you will completely believe me", which made Zhao Lan begin to believe that all this is true.

"Okay, I'll make a decision after I see your laboratory data." Zhao Lan replied.

After this sentence, the communication between the two was cut off. During this period of communication, Zhao Lan's spaceship has advanced a distance of more than one million kilometers. At this moment, Zhao Lan is no longer far from the Earth Port, and the spacecraft also received orbital parameters such as the channel and speed from the Earth Port, so Zhao Lan raised his spirits and prepared to drive the spacecraft to the Earth Port.

The Earth Harbor is located above the Capital City, which is located above the Earth's equator. The capital city gradually developed on the basis of the city of life during the solar crisis. Because of its special geographical location, it eventually became the political, technological and economic center on the earth. At the same time, it was also the most populous city on the earth.

Under the guidance of the port staff, the Sylvia spacecraft finally berthed gently into the port. Before leaving the spaceship, Zhao Lan deliberately kept the communication interface of the spaceship open, and also deliberately brought a small communication device with him. The communication interface opened on the spaceship allows the spaceship to maintain contact with Li Yunfan, and the communication device carried on him allows him to maintain contact with the Sylvia spaceship. Through the transfer of the spacecraft, no matter where Zhao Lan is on the earth, Zhao Lan can talk to Li Yunfan.

Under the guidance of the staff, Zhao Lan took the shuttle bus to the front of the space interaction system, and then took the space elevator to embark on the journey to the earth. A space elevator built on Earth is bigger and more spectacular than a space elevator built on Mars. The scenery on Earth is also more beautiful than on Mars.

It was daytime now, so Zhao Lan, who was at an altitude of tens of thousands of kilometers, saw the blue, white, yellow, and green colors on the earth. Green is the forest, blue is the sea, white is the cloud, and yellow is the desert. The earth seen from the sky is more gorgeous and more peaceful.

Zhao Lan has not been on Earth for several years. The food and beautiful scenery that have been missed for a long time in memory, as well as the bustling city and crowded people, all have such a special attraction for Zhao Lan now. Zhao Lan has been waiting for this moment for a long time, but when this moment really comes, Zhao Lan does not have much anticipation and excitement in his heart.

The words that he talked to Li Yunfan in the spaceship were always lingering in Zhao Lan's mind. About the empty universe, about the fate of the earth, about the disappearing stars and the coming disaster, about the mystery of Li Yunfan... All of these things weigh heavily on Zhao Lan's heart, making Zhao Lan's emotions always high not get up.

"Don't worry about these things." Zhao Lan comforted himself like this, "Maybe that so-called Li Yunfan is just a liar, everything he said is nonsense. There may be many reasons for the disappearance of the stars, Maybe the truth of the truth is just a physical process that we haven't discovered yet~www.readwn.com~ It will not affect the earth at all, where is the fold in space and the fall into the empty universe..."

Because the space elevator descends too quickly, Zhao Lan has been in a state of weightlessness. This is not a good experience, but Zhao Lan has to stay in this state for several hours.

These few hours were spent in Zhao Lan's wild thoughts. Over time, outside the window, everything above the Earth appears larger and more detailed. Here, Zhao Lan could even see the towering mountain peak and the equally tall building.

The clouds outside the space elevator also went from being sparse at first to denser. During this process, gravity gradually returned to Zhao Lan's side, allowing Zhao Lan to finally sit firmly on the seat without being restrained by the seat belt. Even, because of the constant deceleration, Zhao Lan even felt a greater sense of oppression than normal gravity.

After a while, gravity was completely back to normal. The space elevator stopped, Zhao Lan untied his seat belt and walked outside, finally breathing the fresh air above the long-lost earth. Looking up, the space elevator extends into the sky just like on Mars, until it is invisible. (To be continued.)
