I Just Want To Retire Quietly

Chapter 22: Awakening (III)

Views:

The emotion that surged in Liang Xian's heart in an instant was indescribable. He wanted to open his arms and hug Tan Yan, and wanted to tell him how moved he was at that moment.

But before he could even move his fingers, he saw Tan Yan put down his hand, turned the swivel chair half a circle, and went to cut the nails of Asan, who was in the next bed.

The heartache during artificial respiration came again, and Liang Xian hurriedly grabbed Tan Yan's clothes.

Tan Yan felt someone pulling him from behind. He instantly realized who it was. He turned around excitedly and saw Liang Xian looking at him with longing.

"You're awake!" he said happily.

"Well," seeing how happy he was, Liang Xian couldn't help but pretend to be serious, "I think I need to..."

A hug.

Unfortunately, he only finished half of his words, and Tan Yan took a cup of warm water from the bedside and handed it to his lips: "You need to drink some water, right? I know, that's how it's played in TV dramas."

Liang Xian: “…”

If you don't read the novel, you will find the plot of the TV series clichéd! Is there a scene about drinking water in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Before he could express the tenderness in his heart, Tan Yan pressed the pager. A few seconds later, a group of people carrying equipment rushed into the room.

"Awake?" Qiao Zhixue squeezed through a pile of instruments and rushed to Liang Xian first. "How do you feel now? Are you dizzy? How is your physical condition? Come with me for a checkup. I want to check your physical data from all aspects."

Before Qiao Zhixue finished speaking, a gray-haired old professor pushed his head down with his own strength and said with a kind smile: "Young man, you are in good health. You have recovered from such a serious injury. We need to collect your blood and DNA samples. It would be even better if you have bone marrow fluid. Do you mind..."

"Everyone get out of the way." Minister Yu's majestic voice came from behind.

At once, everyone in the medical room moved aside, and a passage appeared in front of Minister Yu. He said calmly, "There are still two patients who haven't woken up yet. How can you be so disrespectful? They are the future pillars of the country, not the guinea pigs and Tang monks in your experiments. Xiao Xu, take them to learn the confidentiality agreement. Except for the medical staff involved in the treatment, no information about these four people can be leaked. All information is classified as level one confidential information."

Level 1 confidentiality... a little lower than Tan Yan's special level.

Xu Mingyu took everyone out except Qiao Zhixue. The room suddenly became much quieter, and Minister Yu walked up to Liang Xian.

"Minister Yu." Liang Xian immediately sat up straight and raised his hand to salute.

He had only raised his hand halfway when Minister Yu stopped him: "Don't move, your hand is still injured..."

Halfway through his words, Liang Xian's arms were seen to be smooth and without any scars. He had already healed himself.

Minister Yu stopped Liang Xian's arm and accepted his salute.

"How do you feel now?" Minister Yu asked with concern.

Liang Xian now had time to observe his body and discovered that not only had his frostbite and burns healed, but even the comminuted fracture that had been thought to have made his movements difficult in the future was no longer a problem.

"Why is this happening?" Liang Xian knew his physical condition. He had thought about it before he fainted. With such injuries, even if he awakened his special powers in the future, he would probably become a disabled person.

He didn't expect that superpowers could also enhance the body's self-healing ability.

"We also want to know why," Qiao Zhixue seized the opportunity to rush over, "Come with me to get some tests done."

Liang Xian was also very curious about his physical condition and cooperated very well. Qiao Zhixue pushed a wheelchair over. Liang Xian was about to say that he didn't need it as he was well enough to go out for the Pao Ge Marathon, but he was picked up by Tan Yan and placed on the wheelchair.

Liang Xian: “…”

Could it be that Tan Yan's action has become a habit

"What a mess." Minister Yu snorted, "Your injury has healed, why are you still letting someone carry you? How could the Central Military Academy produce such a delicate student like you!"

Liang Xian: “…”

While Liang Xian was doing the examination, Tan Yan also underwent a detailed brain examination, and the conclusion was that the activity rate of Tan Yan's brain cells was as high as 70%, which was much more active than the other three.

"Sure enough, the most important reason for your specialness is in your brain." Qiao Zhixue was recording the data frantically, and a new world seemed to open up before his eyes.

Liang Xian frowned, he had tortured himself into that state in the other world, and finally he did feel the special energy particles that Tan Yan mentioned, but he didn't expect that it was not the body that awakened in the end, but the brain.

Looking at his healed body, he couldn't help but wonder if it was possible that the reason for awakening his power was not the near-death state at all, but something else... something else.

While they were still in the examination room, they heard the news that Ah San and Qin Li had also woken up. The two were in the same condition as Liang Xian, and their brains allowed them to regain consciousness after their bodies recovered. They were in good physical condition, and their brain activity was 35%.

After doing the same examination and confirming that all three were in the best condition and had no psychological trauma from their trip to the other world, Minister Yu and others took them out of the hospital and returned to the "Void Phenomenon" research base of the National Technology Security Department of City B.

Several core researchers were waiting for them in the conference room. There were only seven people in total, including the technical staff, Xu Mingyu and Qiao Zhixue. Among them, only five people, including Minister Yu, knew Tan Yan's real age. It could be said that it was a top-level secret.

Qin Li was a little nervous, and Asan was not very good at interacting with these old professors. Both of them were very reserved, and the experience in the other world was mainly narrated by Liang Xian.

He expressed his speculation that the other world was a parallel apocalypse to the Earth, briefly described the process of them handing over the information in the other world, and finally used a very, very concise sentence to describe the awakening process of the three people's superpowers.

But this shortest sentence was immediately caught by Minister Yu: "Trying to gain strength while on the verge of death, nonsense!"

Liang Xian and the other two remained silent.

"You are lucky this time, but what if you can't hold on? Or what if you don't awaken your power, and the injuries you suffer can never be healed? Moreover, no one knows that this kind of power can also improve the body's self-healing ability. Even if you awaken your power, you can't heal yourself? Have you ever thought about these problems? What are you all thinking?" Minister Yu was so angry that he wanted to slam the table.

Tan Yan thought of Liang Xian's efforts and wanted to speak up for him, but just as he opened his mouth, he heard Minister Yu yell, "And you, Tan Yan! What is the task I gave you?"

Tan Yan immediately stood up and said, "Select suitable talents to enter the 'Void', guide them correctly, and train them to become independent successors..."

At the end, Tan Yan couldn't continue speaking. He recalled his own performance in "Hollowness". In any way, he was not a qualified teacher and leader.

“Then ask yourself, have you done all of them?”

"Minister, I didn't do it!" Tan Yan firmly admitted his mistake.

"Fortunately, you brought back the conjecture about the parallel world, otherwise you will never be able to go in again!" Minister Yu said angrily.

Liang Xian and Asan, who had been arguing in "Hollowness", now shut up and dared not say a word, and Qin Li also lowered his head.

Thinking back on it afterwards, it seemed that their brain circuits started to become abnormal since Tan Yan punched the meteorite. They became blindly confident and dared to break into the alien base alone. They were determined to awaken their superpowers and exposed themselves to the terrible ultraviolet rays without caring about their lives. No matter how Tan Yan tried to persuade them, they would not listen.

He was really courting death with every step, and it was just sheer luck that he didn't die in the end.

"I was wrong." Liang Xian said in a low voice with his head down.

"Me too." Asan and Qin Li followed closely.

"Go back and write a self-examination. The content must be profound. If your attitude is not correct, don't even think about going to 'Hollow' again. This is an unknown world, so dangerous, it is not a place for you to play!" Minister Yu's last sentence was almost a yell, and the four people were so scared that they dared not speak.

After ideological education, Minister Yu handed over the right to speak to professionals.

"I have doubts about the assumption that all worlds after the 'void' are parallel worlds of the Earth," said Professor Feynton, the head of the research team. "When Minister Yu and Tan Yan entered the 'void', according to Minister Yu's description, the creatures in that world do not exist on Earth."

"But that can also be considered that the world has been on a different path from us since the White Period or even earlier," the deputy team leader retorted, "Before there is conclusive evidence, even if we encounter a hundred parallel worlds, it does not mean that we will enter all parallel worlds."

"I think it's a parallel world." Qiao Zhixue, contrary to his usual serious attitude, firmly supported the arguments of several soldiers. "We still don't know what the 'void' is, and we don't know why it takes us into other worlds. But if the argument of the parallel world is correct, these questions can be answered."

"What answer?" Xu Mingyu had the least experience among the team members. If he had not witnessed with his own eyes Minister Yu being taken into the "hole" by Tan Yan, he would have absolutely no qualification to join the research group. Now he was in a state of learning and observation in the group.

quantum coherence—Qiao Zhixue typed these letters on the computer and projected them onto the conference room screen.

Quantum coherence, this word came to everyone's mind.

Tan Yan: “…”

"It is currently known that the 'void' only occurs in the part of the Earth at the same longitude as City B, and it continues to spread. My hypothesis is that this geographical location has become quantum entangled with other worlds for some reason, which is why other worlds and our world have begun to erode each other." Qiao Zhixue analyzed.

"Einstein once made a prediction based on the pseudo-experiment that in a high-energy accelerator, an electron and a positron produced by energy are both in a superposition state of right and left spin when no one is observing them, and these two spins are related to each other. We have always wondered why when Tan Yan entered a 'void', another void would stop spreading. I think this correlation can explain this.

In addition, I think the reason why Tan Yan always stands in front of the tombstone every time he returns to the real world is also related to quantum entanglement. As we all know, once quantum entanglement occurs, it will not stop even at the two ends of the universe. After Tan Yan entered the other world, he was still quantum entangled with the tombstone or the person in the tombstone, which allowed him to accurately find the connection point between the two worlds every time and return through quantum transmission. "

Tan Yan: “…”

He was completely confused, but people around him were still recording and analyzing Qiao Zhixue's words. Everyone nodded, thinking that there was a high possibility that Qiao Zhixue's hypothesis was correct.

Tan Yan: “…”

He quietly nudged Liang Xian with his arm and whispered, "What are they talking about?"

Liang Xian also considered this possibility, but he knew too little, such as why Tan Yan would return to the tombstone every time. However, he had personally returned from another world, so he had some thoughts on this.

"We are analyzing the causes of the 'void' and the principles of our time travel." Liang Xian explained, "Quantum mechanics is a course we take during our junior year, but it is not a required course and there will be no exams. It is just a course for interested students to choose their future direction. I am very interested in quantum mechanics and I once studied it when I was bored in high school."

When I was bored in high school...

Tan Yan tried to recall the schoolwork at Pingxian High School. The intensity of studying from 7 am to 11 pm, how could there be any boredom? Moreover, students in the special class not only take the college entrance examination, but also have to spend half of their time on physical training...

Tan Yan, who deeply felt the gap between people, looked at Liang Xian with awe.

The junior high school Chinese textbook is not deceiving me, "There must be one person who can be my teacher when three people walk together", Liang Xian is definitely my spiritual teacher! Tan Yan thought silently.

Liang Xian thought he had answered Tan Yan's question and his ideas became a little clearer, so he raised his hand.

Team leader Feynton motioned for him to speak.

"I just recalled my experience when I returned from the other world," Liang Xian blushed, "Although I was unconscious at the time, my brain was highly active, and I should have remembered this experience in my subconscious."

"We cannot perceive the subconscious mind. It is just an influence on consciousness. Sometimes it can also become a part of intuition or sixth sense," the deputy team leader said. "How do you know that your memory belongs to the subconscious mind?"

"When I was unconscious, I had a dream," Liang Xian explained. "Everyone knows that dreams are a manifestation of the subconscious. You also said that the subconscious is a component of intuition. My intuition tells me that this dream is the experience of time travel."

"What kind of dream was it?"

"I dreamed of the void. The world we traveled through had no atmosphere, so in my dream I felt like I was in a void. There was no oxygen around me, and the sun was so hot that it was unbearable. I was instantly evaporated into particles. But the next second, the air became extremely cold, and I quickly condensed together and was frozen back into human form."

Ah San also raised his hand: "Report, although Liang Xian and I had different dreams, the main plot is the same after decomposing and reconstructing them."

The two people had similar dreams, and everyone couldn't help but focus their attention on Qin Li, who was also unconscious.

Qin Li: “…”

“… I never dream when I sleep,” he answered awkwardly.

Tan Yan was immediately touched, and held Qin Li's hand tightly under the table, saying, "I don't dream when I sleep, I sleep well!"

Seeing Tan Yan taking Qin Li's hand, Liang Xian said: "..."

A feeling of sadness silently rose in his heart, but he tried his best to ignore it and continued, "I originally thought it was just a dream, but after hearing Professor Qiao's quantum entanglement hypothesis, I think it might be a manifestation of transmission."

"Humans have imagined quantum transmission. For example, if I have a book in city B and want to show it to a friend in the United States, the transmission method in classical physics is that I use a scanner to send the book to my friend through the network system, and my friend in the United States prints out the book. This is classical signal transmission. But everyone knows the shortcomings of classical transmission. It is incomplete. My friend in the United States can only get part of the information about the book. He does not know its color, weight, thickness of the paper, or the molecular structure of the paper. But quantum signal transmission is different.

Suppose I am on Earth and Tan Yan is on Mars. I have electron a and he has electron b. Electrons a and b are entangled. Any action or information applied to electron a can be instantly received by electron b. So if I apply the information of this book to electron a, Tan Yan can receive this book even if he is on Mars.

I think that we were decomposed into electrons or even smaller particles at the connection point between the other world and the earth through quantum signal transmission, and because Tan Yan and the tombstone just mentioned by Professor Qiao always have quantum entanglement, we were transmitted in front of the tombstone. "

Liang Xian's words left everyone silent. This imagination was too horrifying, yet it was also well-founded and impossible to refute.

People's current knowledge is still limited to classical physics, and the observation of microscopic particles has just begun. However, in fact, the state of microscopic particles cannot be explained by macroscopic physics theory at all. The two are related but contradictory. Once all unimaginable things involve the microscopic world, they can be explained by scientific theories.

Asan also graduated from a special class. He was exposed to the theory of quantum mechanics in his junior year and had a deep understanding of Liang Xian's words. He recalled everything they had encountered in the other world, and then compared it with Liang Xian's statements, verifying them one by one.

Probably the most relaxed people in the meeting room were Tan Yan and Qin Li. Neither of them could understand what everyone was saying. They could only smile at each other and give each other a knowing look.

Liang Xian, Liang Xian was even more upset.

He had just proposed a hypothesis that even the professors had not thought of, and it was recognized and thought about by everyone. He had clearly demonstrated his future plasticity in front of everyone and made a big splash in front of Tan Yan, but Tan Yan was smiling at Qin Li.

He was silently heartbroken, the high spirits he had just shown were gone, leaving only calmness.

As a non-staff member, Xu Mingyu not only followed the research group but was also responsible for selecting talents who would enter Kongdong in the future with Qiao Zhixue. Tan Yan was strong and experienced, but his theoretical knowledge was too poor, and he could not explain it no matter how many times he went.

Liang Xian was able to analyze so many things after only entering once, and he was neither arrogant nor impatient. He remained humble under the approving gazes of the professors and Minister Yu. He is truly a talented person with great potential.

Minister Yu had told Xu Mingyu that Tan Yan couldn't keep running around like this. He was already 58 years old. Although it wasn't obvious on the surface, the number of times a person's cells can divide was limited. Who knew if he would suddenly age? Perhaps one day he would reach his limit and couldn't hold on any longer.

Minister Yu did not want to continue to exploit such an old comrade who was loyal to the country. He asked Xu Mingyu to select a suitable leader from among the people selected by Tan Yan, and focus on training him to take over Tan Yan's task.

Liang Xian is already the first candidate in Xu Mingyu's mind.

"That's a good hypothesis," Minister Yu praised. "Have you made any other discoveries?"

"Yes," Liang Xian did not back down in front of the national leader. "Before I left, I grabbed a small piece of meteorite and put it in my pocket. I planned to bring it back for research. Did you find it on me?"

"No," said Xu Mingyu, who was in charge of equipment management, "I checked all your clothes. There is nothing except the weapons and dry food in your backpacks."

"That is to say, things brought from this world can enter the other world and come back, but things from the other world cannot be taken out. Tan Yan also said that he once tried to rescue people from the other world, but they disappeared at the entrance. He felt that he had harmed these people, but I think they did not disappear, but returned to their own world."

Liang Xian glanced at Tan Yan and said, "You didn't hurt anyone, you just couldn't save them."

Tan Yan felt a little sad in his heart. He always thought that his kindness had harmed those people, but Liang Xian said that it was not the case, and he had very reasonable and well-founded arguments.

"What you mean is that the things we bring over can come back through the 'void' because of the quantum entanglement in this world, but the people or objects in the other world are entangled in this world. They are still decomposed and transmitted in the 'void', but are transmitted back to their own world." Qiao Zhixue asked.

"That's right," Liang Xian concluded his own guess. "My current point of view is that the 'void' is a quantum transmission channel in the parallel world. I don't know why it appears frequently in our world, but the harm it brings is obvious. If no one stops the 'void', it will continue to transmit the space of our world to the parallel world, and not everyone has the strength to come back. Even if it is us, if we don't have Tan Yan's protection, we will die from lack of oxygen or low temperature when we arrive in that world. It can be said that any 'void' is a world-class disaster!"

Everyone took a deep breath, and Minister Yu recalled that he had once said, as if jokingly, that Tan Yan had saved the world for forty years. He was half joking and half praising Tan Yan's spirit of perseverance, but he didn't expect that his words would come true.

Recalling the number of "voids" that appeared in the records, the members of the research team felt a chill in their hearts. The Earth had faced so many crises so many times, but they were completely unaware of it and treated "voids" as an interesting phenomenon to study and even discussed it with relish.

Many people also think that studying the "void" phenomenon is a waste of money and is of no use.

Those who knew the truth all looked at Tan Yan. Liang Xian and the other two were not clear about it, but they knew it clearly.

"I hope to add team members who can awaken abilities like us, have superb physical fitness, and have studied quantum mechanics," Liang Xian continued. "I still don't understand the principles of superpowers, but since time travel can be explained by scientific theory, so can superpowers. Once you understand the principles, there is no need to be in a near-death state, and you should be able to use conventional and conservative methods to try to awaken. But the big premise remains unchanged. We can only gain power if we enter the other world through the 'void', perhaps being affected by the rays when traveling, or perhaps feeling something in the process of being decomposed and reshaped.

The focus of the next mission is to select suitable and loyal team members, continue to enter the other world, and strengthen our strength. Even if there may be a loss of talent in this process, we must not stop. We must think of a way to completely solve the problem of the "void", otherwise the world will sooner or later usher in the destruction of the world like those worlds. You have not seen the destruction of the world, so you don't know what it feels like. People... are no longer human. "

Without backbone, dignity, or even the most basic conscience, humans are left with only the instinct for survival and the desire for plunder. He doesn't want his world to become like that.

"I understand," Minister Yu said seriously, "You three can go out. Tan Yan stay. We still have things to discuss."

Why did they leave Tan Yan behind? The three of them were full of doubts, but they all obeyed the order and did not speak.

"In addition," Minister Yu said as the three of them walked to the door, "You handed over the information on cultivating new seeds to the other world without authorization. Although there is no precedent for this and there is no legal restriction on you, you still have to accept disciplinary action. Is this how you solve emergency tasks? Go to the other world to play! Remember in the future, no matter what happens in the other world, life comes first, understand!"

"clear!"

The three of them stood at attention, saluted, and turned to leave the room.

After they left, several other people who did not know Tan Yan's true identity also left. Only Minister Yu, Qiao Zhixue, Xu Mingyu and the group leader and deputy group leader were left in the meeting room.

These are the only five people in the world who know Tan Yan’s real age.

"I dismissed the uninformed personnel as you wished. What do you think?" Minister Yu said to Qiao Zhixue.

"The information we know now is: 1. 'Voids' are very likely to appear in pairs due to quantum coherence, and due to quantum entanglement, if one disappears, the other will disappear as well; 2. 'Voids' are very likely to be a quantum transmission channel that will be generated between the Earth and other parallel worlds; 3. Things transmitted through 'Voids' will return to their original worlds. Although the above are all conjectures, I assume that based on them as facts, the problems we need to solve in the future are as follows: 1. The cause of the 'Void'; 2. The principles of the so-called 'superpowers' and 'immortality'; 3. Who is 'Tan Yan'?"

Tan Yan only half understood the first few sentences, but when he heard the last part, he looked at Qiao Zhixue in confusion: "I am Tan Yan, an ordinary policeman in Ping County."

"No," Qiao Zhixue shook his head, "You are not ordinary. What we are going to investigate next is your uniqueness and who is the person in the tombstone or the nameless tombstone that is most likely to be quantum entangled with you."

"I don't know either," Tan Yan shook his head, "but I went back to the tombstone the first time, and I've been there every time since then."

"There must be a connection, and it must be an extremely close and inseparable connection. Only in this way can you return to Earth from another world countless times. Once the connection between the tombstone and you disappears, you will most likely not be able to come back." Qiao Zhixue said seriously, "We must protect this tombstone. This is why I have never dared to open the coffin to extract the DNA from it to investigate the people in the cemetery."

As early as the beginning, the research team discussed whether to open the coffin for investigation. The tombstone was too obvious, and it was obvious that there were many secrets hidden inside. However, this was the only way for Tan Yan to return. No one dared to guarantee what would happen after disturbing the cemetery, so the research team did not dare to do it. Now after listening to Liang Xian's analysis, everyone was even more afraid to act rashly.

"I hope you can recall as much as possible about the first time you entered the 'void', because that was most likely the first 'void' that occurred on Earth, the source we have been looking for. Only by finding the root cause can we find a solution."

"I have told you everything I can." Tan Yan shook his head. "It's already very detailed."

To summarize, after retiring from the army, Tan Yan was assigned to work at the Ping County Public Security Management Office. On his first day of work, he encountered a "void" and foolishly ran into it. He almost died in the "void", but finally awakened his power, found the exit according to his intuition, jumped in and returned to Earth.

It was as simple as every time he traveled through time in the past forty years. There was nothing special about it except that it was the first time.

Minister Yu saw that Tan Yan had nothing to hide. If there was anything missing, it must be because he did not understand it or did not think it was important, so he forgot about it.

But everyone knows that this is not permanent forgetting. It must still exist in Tan Yan's mind. Once important information is triggered, the memory will emerge.

The problem now is that Tan Yan doesn't understand at all. Minister Yu can also see that Tan Yan didn't understand anything that was said in the meeting today.

Qiao Zhixue was also helpless about this. He had no idea how to teach Tan Yan to understand such profound knowledge that even humans are still exploring.

If only Tan Yan had the same IQ as Liang Xian, how could he not learn when his brain is already 70% developed? Is his learning ability hidden in that 30% and not developed at all

“Tan Yan…” Minister Yu showed that kind and compassionate expression again, which made Tan Yan’s hair stand on end.

He swallowed and said nervously, "Minister, I'm listening."

"I originally thought that it was too much for you to study math, physics and chemistry at your age. I was even thinking about giving you a green light when you take the exam, but now it seems that you have no choice but to study." Minister Yu looked at Tan Yan and said with heartache.

Tan Yan: “…”

"There are some things that others cannot do for you. If you don't understand or realize it, you can't provide us with important information. So..." Minister Yu gritted his teeth and finally said cruelly, "I'll give you two years. You don't have to catch up with Liang Xian's level, but at least you have to be like 'Jackal No. 3' and understand when others mention it."

Tan Yan: “…”

This may be the only time in his life where he failed to complete a task.

Qiao Zhixue was also worried about Tan Yan and whispered, "Minister, Tan Yan has just learned high school physics. He can't even draw a junior high school physics circuit diagram."

Minister Yu: “…”

So slow? It was quite simple when he was learning it. For example, quantum mechanics is a difficult subject. Because his job requires him to understand it, Minister Yu read books and studied on his own after work, and he has learned it almost completely.

As the Minister of the National Department of Technology Safety, Minister Yu must have a genius-level mind and cannot understand why Tan Yan doesn’t understand.

"Then let's do four years..." Minister Yu looked at Tan Yan deeply, "I originally wanted you to retire after two years when you have thought it through."

Tan Yan: “…”

It turns out that the organization has always been considerate of his age and has been considering his retirement!

Tan Yan was immediately moved. He stood up and saluted Minister Yu, straightened his chest, and said loudly: "Minister, I will not retire until I have trained a successor and solved the 'Void' incident. This is the last mission of my working career, and I will definitely carry it out to the end!"

"Good comrade!" Minister Yu walked up to Tan Yan excitedly and held his hands tightly. "You have to learn English too. Many original works on quantum mechanics are in English!"

Tan Yan: “…”

The last task in life is too difficult qaq.

As the two were moved and admired, Qiao Zhixue whispered to Feynton: "If we can't move the tombstone, how can we continue the investigation?"

"We need to find a way to re-establish quantum entanglement," Feynton said. "Although we don't know what the connection is between Tan Yan and the tombstone, maybe he can no longer establish a deeper entanglement with other things, but others can. Train new team members, establish new entanglement to free Tan Yan, so that we can study the tombstone."

"It seems that this is the only way," Qiao Zhixue sighed, "How long will this take? We have already seen some progress, but we can't do anything here. We can only wait for the team members to fight hard in the other world."

"Who said that nothing can be done?" Feynton said, "We can be the backup force for the front line, research the cause of awakening, help them improve their strength, prepare supplies and weapons for them, and research measuring instruments. Every result they bring back will become our research target for the next stage, and every result of our research can become equipment to support them."

"That's true..." Qiao Zhixue said dejectedly, "Ah, I also want to enter the 'void', but unfortunately my physical fitness is too poor."

"You can't," Feynton immediately refused, "We need your brain and your ability to think beyond the ordinary. You are irreplaceable."

After more than half a month, Tan Yan and Liang Xian finally returned to their respective teams. At this time, Ah San was no longer a member of the "Jackal" plan, but was assigned to Tan Yan's "Hollow" team and entered the Central Military Academy as a special class instructor to assist Tan Yan in selecting team members.

Although they were in the same team, the secret of Tan Yan's age was not revealed to other team members. The information obtained by Liang Xian and the other two was still vague. Only Tan Yan had entered the "void" and returned many times, but it was not clear how many times this was.

The three of them guessed that Tan Yan might be older than the age on his ID card, but judging from his face, no matter how baby-faced he was, he was only about ten years old. Liang Xian recalled the look in Tan Yan's eyes as an experienced person and guessed that he could be around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, at most one or two years older than Ah San.

The age difference was still acceptable. Liang Xian felt relieved when he looked at Tan Yan's face.

As for what to accept... Liang Xian, who has never been in love, can't explain it clearly. Now his heart beats faster when he sees Tan Yan, he feels sad when he sees that he treats himself and others equally, his heart feels sweet when he thinks of his interactions with him, and he feels excited when he thinks of going on adventures in another world with him in the future.

Liang Xian didn't understand the source of this feeling, but he decided to follow his heart.

Asan returned to his base to go through the procedures for leaving the team. He will then appear as Instructor Zhou's deputy, Assistant Instructor Chai. This surname is obviously made up based on the word "jackal". Asan said that he might be called Chai San in the future.

Liang Xian and the other two secretly felt sad for him. The name "Chai" and "San" sound like "separation" in Chinese. What kind of casual leader would give such a name to his team members

But Ah San has gotten used to it. He said that Liang Xian and others will also have to change their names after graduation. Names contain a lot of information, and some intelligence agencies can even find their parents and family members through their names. So as long as you work on the front line, you have to use a pseudonym. It's fake anyway, so it doesn't matter what you call it.

After saying goodbye to San, the three were sent back to school.

The military training had ended at this time. It was said that under the leadership of Qiu Qizhen, Cui Heyu's intelligence was fully utilized and the task was successfully completed with the strength of only two people.

As soon as Liang Xian returned to the classroom, he met Cui Heyu's smug eyes.

The author has something to say: Ah San: Author, tell me, what kind of parents can give their child a crappy name like "Shanshu"

Ah San: Today I still have no name

Tan Yan: Today, my study tasks are still heavy.

Liang Xian: Tan Yan will not be older than 26, 7 years is not bad~

Qin Li: What are they talking about today? Where is my Western fantasy magic world

Ahem, Lan Qing once said in the copywriting that all the content of this article is the pseudo-science of Lan Qing school, the kind of serious nonsense, please don’t study it or take it seriously, it’s all assumptions!!

However, if you are interested, you can learn about quantum mechanics. The theory in it really... breaks everyone's common sense.

In addition, for those who leave comments in this chapter, the first 200 will receive a red envelope, and the next 100 will be randomly selected. Although Lazy Qing may not be able to get 200 comments, after all, I am recognized as having a cold constitution_(:3∠)_

Let's look forward to it qaq

The update time tomorrow will probably still be around 14:00~~
