It’s great to have modern equipment. It was only half an hour before Liu Qiaoer brought Cui Boyao to the island.
Seeing everything in front of him, Cui Boyao was sure that he had been here before.
The familiar tent, a burning fire, and a hammock.
Liu Qiaoer glanced around and knew that these were the traces left behind by their last landing on the island. The traces showed that there was no concept of time and space on this island.
Just in case, Liu Qiaoer and Cui Boxiao both took out wooden warehouses.
"Let's go. I'll lead the way. The center of the island is our destination."
This island is uninhabited and there are few animals around. It is overgrown with weeds and has a humid climate, making it suitable for living, but it always feels a little weird.
Following the same route as last time, Liu Qiaoer took Cui Boyao directly to the center of the island.
Unexpectedly, when I was halfway there, I heard a rustling sound and a man in a space suit came towards me.
The man was slightly startled when he saw Liu Qiaoer. He raised the weapon in his hand and confronted Liu Qiaoer and Cui Boxiao.
Suddenly, the man glanced at Liu Qiaoer and opened the eyes of his space suit.
"It's you. I was looking for you. Why are you here? Great. Come with me."
Liu Qiaoer was also surprised. The person who came was none other than the person she had been trying every means to find, Du Zixu.
This person has been very mysterious since he appeared, and now he appears on the island again, which makes Liu Qiaoer suspicious.
"Where are you going? Who are you? Du Zixu..."
Liu Qiaoer struggled while being pulled away by Du Zixu.
Suddenly, Cui Boxiao punched Du Zixu fiercely and shouted angrily: "Let her go."
Du Zixu was not hit. Instead, he retreated a few steps at an incredible speed. Cui Boxiao didn't hit him at all, but he still let Liu Qiaoer go.
Du Zixu sighed heavily and raised his hands in a gesture of surrender: "Okay, to be honest, I don't have any ill will towards you. I understand your current state because some of your memories have been sealed. You just need to come to the base with me, and I promise you that everything will be clear."
Liu Qiaoer held Cui Boxiao back and said, "I'll trust you again."
Du Zixu turned around and walked back, mumbling as he walked: "If you don't trust me, who else can you trust? Can you survive in such a world? Are you willing? Don't you think there is something wrong with your own space system? Don't you want to find the answer?"
"Traveling through time once can be considered an accident, but traveling through time twice is an event. If I were you, I would have been unable to live a peaceful life and would have found the truth. You are so patient."
Liu Qiaoer was a little confused when she heard what he said: "Aren't you from the future? It seems like you know everything?"
Finally, Du Zixu brought Liu Qiaoer and Cui Boxiao to the empty space in the center of the island.
Last time, Liu Qiaoer was brought here by Du Zixu, and in the blink of an eye, she traveled through time.
This time, Liu Qiaoer refused to go in no matter what: "No, I can't travel through time again. Traveling through time without knowing why will make me collapse."
Du Zixu took out two sets of space suits exactly the same as his from somewhere and handed them to Liu Qiaoer and Cui Boyiao.
"Don't worry, we won't travel through time this time. I'll take you to the base, and when we get there, you'll know what's going on."
After putting on the space suit, Liu Qiaoer found that the material of the space suit was very light and she could breathe freely after putting it on. Before she could study what the material was, she felt dizzy.
She was taken by Du Zixu and Cui Boxiao to an unfamiliar place in an instant.
"The experimenter has returned safely and is confirmed to be in good health, so the hatch can be opened."
"Scanning, please wait."
"Confirmed to be healthy, the hatch can be opened."
"The experimenter returns."
"Welcome Experimenters 31 and 41, you are back safely."
A series of mechanical voices made Liu Qiaoer feel as if she was in a dream. The environment here was both familiar and unfamiliar.
The glass cover covering the three of them opened, and Liu Qiaoer slowly walked down from the high platform.
What I saw closely looked like an experimental base. Everyone was wearing space suits and it was hard to tell who was who, but each of them had a name on their chest.
Liu Qiaoer looked down at her chest and saw a name on it. It was her own clothes.
Look at Cui Boyao again, he also has his own clothes, and his clothes have their own names.
In front of the glass cover is a row of operating tables with various data displayed on them. There are people who are specifically responsible for performing the operations and are also recording something.
When he saw them, he just nodded politely, as if everyone knew each other.
But Liu Qiaoer was sure that she didn't know them, and they were all wearing space helmets so no one could see each other's faces.
"Is this an experimental base? What is it used for? Where is it?"
Just now Liu Qiaoer was very surprised when she heard their numbers, one was No. 31 and the other was No. 41.
"What is a test subject? We are already number 31, where are the people before that?"
"Don't worry, just follow me."
Du Zixu brought Liu Qiaoer out of this space, crossed the corridor, and walked towards another room, which was labeled "Time Traveler's Memory Storage Room".
Liu Qiaoer and Cui Boxiao were both shocked that the memory could still be preserved.
Du Zixu used his card to open the door of the room, and saw many cabinets inside, which looked like ancient medicine boxes, and each medicine box had a name written on it.
"Liu Qiao'er is No. 31, Cui Boxiao is No. 41. Find your own code, aim it at the pupil device above, and scan the pupil to open the cabinet."
Liu Qiaoer and Cui Boyao looked at each other, scanned their pupils, and opened the small drawer, revealing a rectangular box inside. When they opened it, there was a chip inside.
Du Zixu instructed them, "Open the cuff on your left hand and put the chip on your left wrist."
The two of them did as they were told. The chip seemed to be alive and it stuck to the flesh immediately when it touched the skin. Not long after, Liu Qiaoer felt a headache and felt dizzy, and a stream of information and memories suddenly flooded her memory.
After Liu Qiaoer and Cui Boxiao had absorbed each other's memories, the look in their eyes was different.
"Have you remembered? If so, you can go back to your respective offices and type out your respective behavior reports, along with various data. We'll contact you again in three hours."
Du Zixu waved at them and said, "I have to go upstairs to pick up other experimenters. Let's talk later."
Memories filled her brain, and Liu Qiaoer finally understood the meaning of her existence.
In 3023 AD, humans have built multiple space stations in the universe.
Even if the Blue Planet is destroyed, these people can still survive in the space station, but the prerequisite for survival is that they are all high-tech personnel.
The operation and maintenance of the space station, as well as the development of science and technology, all require the efforts of high-tech personnel, who were sent here a long time ago.
More than two hundred years ago, they encountered a black hole in the universe. After one of the space stations entered the black hole, time ceased to have any meaning.
The space station stays in the black hole. In this high-dimensional space, they will not age or die. Their metabolism seems to have slowed down a lot, and they quickly mastered the technology of time travel.
