The next evening, Liu Yao drove Jiang Chen to Wanghai Airport. [Fengyun.com]
She sent a sweet kiss to Jiang Chen in the departure hall. Liu Yao, who was wearing sunglasses, waved her hands with a smile, bid farewell to him as he boarded the plane, and watched the flight go away.
At the same time, Liu Haotian, who was standing outside the airport, was relieved to see Jiang Chen finally leaving.
After seeing off this great god, he can go back to Shangjing City. The weather in the south has a damp and cold feel. The temperature is obviously not as low as in the north, but it is frighteningly cold, which makes him, a northerner, very uncomfortable. And these days, he is not less worried about Jiang Chen's safety.
Fortunately, no accidents had occurred in the past few days. Perhaps they were aware that General Staff agents were lingering around Jiang Chen, so the attackers who realized that there was nothing they could do chose to retreat.
Taking out his mobile phone from his pocket, Liu Haotian called his hometown in Shangjing City.
"The target has boarded the plane... This guy is gone."
"Did something happen?" A steady voice came from the other end of the phone.
"No. Everything is normal here. The escaped killer made no new moves. He may be hiding." Looking at the flight disappearing into the night sky, Liu Haotian replied.
Sitting on the plane, Jiang Chen looked out the window at the fading city. He didn't look back until the brightly lit lights disappeared from his sight.
"Dear passengers, good evening. Welcome to China Eastern Airlines flight mu771, from Wanghai City, China to Koro City, New Zealand. The flight distance of this flight is 3261 kilometers, and the estimated flight time is 5 hours and 47 minutes. In order to ensure The aircraft navigation and communication system is working normally. Please do not use laptop computers during takeoff and landing. Please do not use mobile phones and remote control toys during the entire flight... "
"I wish you a pleasant journey."
Flying is not like riding a train, and you can also use your mobile phone to access the Internet. At this time, Jiang Chen, who was not in the habit of reading books and newspapers, could only enjoy looking at beautiful women besides sleeping.
I have to say that the quality of flight attendants on international flights is really high. This is not only reflected in the extraordinary appearance. Their polite and courteous attitude also makes it difficult for people to feel the slightest disgust. Of course, this may also be related to the fact that he was flying first class.
The hat-wearing passenger sitting next to him asked the stewardess for a newspaper, but Jiang Chen just glanced at the stewardess from close range. It gave an evaluation of more than 8 points. The passenger took the newspaper and seemed to notice Jiang Chen's gaze. He gave Jiang Chen a friendly smile and then leaned on the chair.
Jiang Chen noticed that he was looking at the economic panel.
It turns out. Even if you look at beautiful beauties for a long time, you will feel bored.
Jiang Chen yawned and took out his phone with airplane mode on to check the time.
[9:00]
The plane has already taken off for an hour. By rough estimation, it should have passed Taipei and entered the sky above the Pacific Ocean.
Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Chen adjusted himself to a comfortable position and prepared to sleep on the chair for a while. Before closing his eyes, he glanced at the passenger next to him from the corner of his eye and saw that the man was still reading the newspaper.
"Are you ready to sleep? The journey is still so long. Don't you want to chat with me to pass the time?" The man said softly, still looking at the newspaper in his hand.
Jiang Chen opened his eyes, smiled, and whispered at a volume that would not affect others.
"Oh? What are we talking about?"
"First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Tanaka Yoshihiro, a biologist and astronomer."
"Japanese?" Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Because he spoke Mandarin fluently, Jiang Chen thought he was from China.
"Mr. Jiang seems surprised?"
"I'm actually a little surprised. Your Chinese is very good... Do you know me?" Jiang Chen asked in surprise.
"Yes." Tanaka spread out the newspaper in his hand and pointed at the black and white picture on the headline with his thin fingers. "This is a photo from the Phantom Helmet launch conference. It is also the clearest one you have exposed in the media so far. Photo."
Perhaps it was the language habits he had developed from years of work, but his words had the rigidity and stiffness of an old scholar. This feeling is hard to describe, as if it should be said in a very relaxed tone to fit the context, but everything coming out of his mouth turned into an emotionless and straightforward statement.
"You are really good at observing." Jiang Chen said casually.
"Observation is the basis of science." Tanaka closed the newspaper. Fold it in half, fold it in half again…
"Is this?" Looking at the Japanese scientist's actions, Jiang Chen frowned slightly, not understanding what he wanted to express.
The dry fingers were like puppet strings, folding the newspaper into a strange-looking paper boat. Tanaka placed the paper boat on the armrest between the two seats and said softly. "Black Ship, Mr. Jiang, have you ever heard of this word?"
"What's the Roman sound of origami in Japanese?" Jiang Chen teased, crossing his legs.
"You should really study world history." Tanaka adjusted the hat on his head a little, sighed deeply, crossed his fingers in front of his knees, tilted his head and thought for a moment, and then said, "Kaei 6th year , U.S. Navy Commodore Matthew Perry led a fleet into the Uraga Sea of Edo Bay. He brought the credentials of U.S. President Millard Fillmore to pay tribute to the Edo Shogunate. Finally, the two sides signed the "Japan-U.S. Agreement" the following year. Peace Treaty, known in history as the Black Ship Incident.”
"Are you going to talk to me about Japanese history? I'm sorry, I'm not interested." After hearing Tanaka's words, Jiang Chen had already recalled the description of this period of history in the middle school textbook. But understanding is understanding, whether you are interested or not is another matter.
"No, I just hope you can understand the background of the story. I also want to hear your views on the Black Ship incident, without any superficial nationalistic views."
"Your Opium War?"
Tanaka smiled and shook his head, "Although it's still superficial, it's not far behind."
"Oh? What do you have in mind?"
Tanaka's dry lips moved and he spoke softly. "The fusion of civilizations."
When he heard the word civilization, Jiang Chen's eyes subconsciously showed a hint of vigilance.
However, Tanaka seemed not to notice Jiang Chen's reaction, and continued, "In the collision between higher civilization and lower civilization, one of them will prosper, while the other will evolve in pain or perish. Just like in history, this process It may have been painful, but as a result, it led to the evolution of an entire civilization.”
After a pause, he smiled and stretched out a finger, without changing the stereotypical tone that was extremely inconsistent, and continued: "If the collection is enlarged to the scale of the universe, the scene of the collision between higher civilization and lower civilization. I don't want to see it. Do you want to get off?"
"Only a madman would want to see it." Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes dangerously and said softly.
"That's really a pity." Tanaka sighed, sat up straight, and extended his hand to Jiang Chen, "Let's get to know each other again, Tanaka Yoshihiro, you can also call me professor."
Jiang Chen didn't hold his hand, but stared into his eyes.
"What on earth do you want to do?"
Ignoring Jiang Chen's questions, Tian Zhong retracted his outstretched hand and said calmly.
"The speed is Mach 0.85 and the altitude is 9100 kilometers. If I am not wrong, your ability to travel cannot be used here. Of course, you can also try to maintain the kinetic energy of subsonic speed and travel there. Will you fall to death? On the wall.”
Jiang Chen was shocked when he heard his words.
This is impossible!
How could he possibly know my trump cards? !
At this time, Jiang Chen suddenly heard the voice of the queen who declared war on him.
Could it be...
"By the way, you just asked me what I wanted to do." Tanaka smiled.
"In short, your ability is too troublesome for us and the 'Black Ship'. Therefore, in order to welcome the arrival of the next era..." He put his hand on the brim of his hat, and his turbid pupils were like poisonous snakes. Locking Jiang Chen's eyes, "Please take your trump card to the grave." (.)
