Boom!!!!!
Boom!!!!!
Boom!!!!!
The annihilating white light arrived punctually once again, not a second off.
...
...
...
...
In a corner of the bedroom, Lin Xian opened his eyes.
“So far, the white light still exists in this dream, destroying everything, and humanity is still completely unaware of it.”
Gao Yang had said something similar before.
He mentioned that humanity’s astronomical observation methods are quite advanced now, capable of detecting gravitational waves, extraterrestrial crises, and more.
Whether or not prevention is possible is another matter, but at least it wouldn’t be a total surprise like in Dream World.
Now, in the second dream, after 600 years of rapid technological development, even New Donghai City, a cyber science fiction city, has appeared. Cars fly in the sky, and robots crawl all over the ground...
With such an explosion of technology, has there really been no progress in the field of astronomical observation?
“Unrealistic.”
Lin Xian shook his head in denial.
It was already evident from the mysterious black hand shadow on the moon that humanity in the future world had mastered the technology for massive construction projects on the moon at least several hundred years ago.
Logically speaking, if they could leave such wonders on the moon hundreds of years ago... then after centuries have passed, humanity has neither flown starships beyond the Solar System nor built space cities in outer space... Could it be that the technological development took a wrong turn?
“Hmm...”
Lin Xian pondered while supporting his chin:
“Thinking about it, even if technology in the future world has rapidly evolved after the Temporal Flux, the level of development still seems too low.”
Is it difficult to construct a science fiction city like New Donghai City?
Or is it harder to create a huge black hand shadow on the moon?
Undoubtedly, it’s the latter.
“But it’s hard to say.”
Lin Xian’s thoughts were somewhat conflicted.
While it’s true that by the year 2023 humanity had lost the capability to land on the moon, it cannot be denied that as early as 1969, Mi Country had already succeeded in manned moon landings.
Colonel Armstrong’s famous words, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” still echo in our ears.
Over the years, numerous countries have managed to send lunar robots to the moon successfully.
So from that perspective, perhaps placing an immense structure using light-absorbing materials on the moon is more a matter of the hassle and expenditure involved, rather than a question of technical difficulty.
“Let it go, no more thinking.”
“It’s better to take the opportunity to visit New Donghai City and look at historical records, or to ask astronomers in reality, rather than trying to figure it out all by myself.”
Lin Xian decided not to trouble his brain further.
“Because of you... I’m quite looking forward to and hold a favorable impression of East Sea University’s top talents. We need more outstanding talents like you.”
Having said that, she stood up and picked up her coat:
“Then you’ll head to the university this afternoon. Just make sure everything at the company is organized. Coincidentally, I won’t be at the company this afternoon either; I’m going to a party.”
“A party?”
Lin Xian looked up, reminded of the black shadow engulfing the full moon in his dream world...
“Yes, an afternoon tea gathering for a small group of musicians.” Zhao Yingjun stepped into her high heels and went to pick out a scarf:
“I want to talk to one of the composers about creating a theme song for a Rhein Cat MV.”
“The influence of this cat keeps fermenting; it has already surpassed our expectations by far. Any related merchandise sells out immediately upon release, and supermarket agents from all over are pressuring us for more stock. Even with the factories working overtime, they can’t keep up with production.”
“Mainly, I don’t want to ruin the good IP that is Rhein Cat, so I choose factories with high-quality standards for the dolls. There are not many that meet my criteria.”
Zhao Yingjun picked up a blue scarf and came back to her desk, looking at Lin Xian:
“You’re going to East Sea University for a lecture, right? Well, why not inform the logistics department to transport a truckload of Rhein Cat Dolls there? Hand them out to the students attending the seminar; it’s better than going empty-handed.”
She smiled:
“After all, you’re an alumnus returning to your alma mater with glory. Bringing little gifts for the juniors seems more befitting.”
“No need, really, there’s no need,” Lin Xian waved his hands:
“It’s just a small lecture organized by our counselor... At most, there’ll be a few dozen people. There’s no need for so many dolls.”
“Since you’re going, just take them with you. You don’t have a car, so let logistics arrange that too,” Zhao Yingjun quickly tidied up her desk, grabbing her handbag:
“Although you’re not officially representing the company, we still need to consider your reputation. One business car to shuttle you and one small cargo van carrying Rhein Cat Dolls should suffice; just give them out for free as advertising.”
It was an offer he couldn’t refuse.
And with Zhao Yingjun in a hurry to leave, Lin Xian was compelled to accept this kindness.
Bang.
The double-password office door closed.
Lin Xian returned to his own office, picked up his black notebook filled with the outline for his speech, and went downstairs.
...
Sitting in the business car, Lin Xian observed the scenery along the way through the window.
He had traveled this road many times lately, whenever he went to see Xu Yun.
Unfortunately...
He would never have the chance to see Xu Yun again.
Whenever he thought of his old friend, Lin Xian felt a sense of longing.
Xu Yun was truly a good person. Despite many misunderstandings about him, they did not prevent him from being a pure scientist.
To this day, the culprit who had killed Xu Yun remained at large.
There were scathing criticisms online.
The Donghai police were under immense pressure, but with no leads, there was nothing they could do. The two cars had vanished as if into thin air, and no one understood how it was done.
This was Donghai City, a place covered in surveillance cameras...
Resting his chin in his hand, Lin Xian wondered:
“Those two cars... How did they disappear?”
