Earth Era

Just like airports were always built outside cities a long time ago, the air-space interaction base is also a long way from the capital city. Zhao Lan took a commuter bus and started heading towards the city while adapting to the gravity on the earth, which was greater than that of Mars and Research Institute 105.

People who are used to living in space or on Mars will feel uncomfortable returning to Earth. There is gravity on Mars, and the space base also has artificial gravity brought by rotation, but it is smaller than the gravity on Earth. Living in that kind of environment for a long time will cause a decrease in bone density and muscle strength, which will make people feel that every move on the earth is very difficult.

However, Zhao Lan has always paid great attention to his health, and carried out a month-long weight-bearing process in strict accordance with the manual requirements before coming to the earth, so the gravity above the earth will not have much impact on Zhao Lan.

In today's highly developed world of science and technology, small private flying instruments have replaced cars and become people's first choice for transportation. Correspondingly, the government has also delineated many waterways in the sky that are like highways in the past. Those small private flying instruments can fly safely and quickly in every corner of the city under the dual control of electronic systems and human pilots.

The commuter car Zhao Lan took was such a vehicle. After driving at a high speed of hundreds of kilometers per hour for just a moment, it sent Zhao Lan from the Air and Space Interaction Base to Watson Plaza in the city center.

Watson Square is a square built in memory of Zhao Huasheng. All social vehicles are strictly prohibited here, and only walking is allowed. It is also the largest and most luxurious entertainment, leisure, shopping and other places in human society, so it is always crowded with people. . The first stop of Zhao Lan's journey to the earth is here.

After finding a place to live and settling down, Zhao Lan started walking on Watson Square. Looking at the bustling place and feeling the noisy place, Zhao Lan unconsciously relaxed. The breeze blew Zhao Lan's face. The temperature is also just right, neither too cold nor too hot. Everywhere you look there are gorgeous display screens, which look extremely colorful.

In the distance, in the center of Watson Square, the huge statue of Zhao Huasheng is clearly visible. There are many people standing in front of the statue and taking photos with the statue. No matter what time of day the statue is always filled with flowers, and there are dedicated staff responsible for taking care of these things. This made Zhao Lan know, even if hundreds of years have passed. Zhao Huasheng's contributions to human civilization are still remembered by mankind and have never been forgotten.

"I wonder how my ancestors would feel when they saw the current appearance of human civilization. Thinking about it, he must have felt very pleased." Zhao Lan thought, "But now the sky of human civilization has once again begun to shroud Wu Yun, this time...I wonder if there are people like my ancestors who will stand up and turn the tide."

Zhao Lan looked at the huge statue of Zhao Huasheng in trance. There, Zhao Huasheng stood calmly, looking calmly into the distance, his eyes full of depth. Full of wisdom. Zhao Huasheng just watched quietly, seeming to be looking at the future of human civilization. As for whether the future of mankind that Zhao Huasheng sees is good or bad, no one knows.

Although Zhao Lan is the same as everyone in human civilization at this moment. Zhao Huasheng has only been seen in film and television materials, but Zhao Lan knew about it. Be different from others. He is a descendant of Zhao Huasheng. When standing here looking at the statue, Zhao Lan seemed to be able to feel the faint blood connection between himself and the statue.

Zhao Lan bought a bouquet of flowers and placed them in front of the huge statue, then bowed respectfully, and then left and returned to the hotel where he was staying to rest. Originally, Zhao Lan planned to visit Professor Sid the next day, and then go on a tour of Mount Everest with the tour group. But now, because of Li Yunfan's sudden appearance. All this was in vain.

The night passed in peace. The next morning, Zhao Lan came to a quiet breakfast room. Here the waiting begins. Zhao Lan had already contacted the man named Rodriguez according to Li Yunfan's guidance. After reporting the code given by Li Yunfan, Rodriguez's attitude became extremely respectful. In the communication, Zhao Lan made an appointment with him to meet here, and then Rodriguez would lead Zhao Lan to a secret base belonging to Li Yunfan. Li Yunfan said that there, Zhao Lan could find everything that would make him trust him. evidence.

"Li Yunfan... what kind of person are you? Do you really have so many different identities, as you said, and have single-handedly built your own underground empire under the nose of the human civilized government? And... …You did all this just for fun?”

While waiting, Zhao Lan's thoughts kept fluctuating and he could never calm down.

After waiting for about ten minutes, a man wearing a straight suit but with an unusually ordinary appearance came to the restaurant, walked straight to Zhao Lan, sat down opposite Zhao Lan, and asked, "Zhao Lan." Miss Lan?"

This man is probably in his forties. Although his appearance is ordinary, there is always an aura of rigor and solemnity exuding from his movements, making people unconsciously become serious when facing him. Upon hearing the man's question, Zhao Lan said: "I am Zhao Lan, are you Mr. Rodriguez?"

"It's me." Rodriguez nodded, then stretched out his hand to shake Zhao Lan's hand gently, "The boss hasn't contacted us for several months. Although the boss often disappears like this, he never It lasted for such a long time like this time. I am very happy to finally get news from you about the boss again. We are relieved to know that the boss is fine. "

Zhao Lan noticed that when Rodriguez mentioned the title "boss", his demeanor would always become respectful involuntarily. Zhao Lan could tell that Rodriguez must be a high-ranking figure with good cultivation, rich knowledge, and a strong self. Such a figure should be the leader of a party, but such a figure actually has a crush on Li Yunfan. Maintaining a respect that is close to worship. This made Zhao Lan couldn't help but raise Li Yunfan's evaluation to another level in his heart.

Zhao Lan went through some twists and turns in his mind, but then said: "Mr. Rodriguez, your boss is in a very hidden place now. It's just that it's not convenient to come out for the time being. He is safe now." .”

"I know this." Rodriguez nodded: "The boss has agreed with us on thousands of secret codes in our daily interactions. Each of these thousands of secret codes has a different meaning to indicate his current situation. And the implicit information about the trust level of the password holder. The password you hold indicates that the boss is temporarily safe, and it also indicates that your trust level is A level. Except for top secret information, other information in the base can be Open to you.”

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Zhao Lan was surprised, "Thousands of passwords? Each password has a different meaning? I originally thought this was just an ordinary password. In other words... thousands of passwords? Secret codes, can you clearly remember the different meanings of each secret code?"

"I can't do this, but the boss can do it." Rodriguez said: "The boss can clearly remember the meaning of each password. After we receive the relevant information from the password holder, we need to electronically Only systematic inquiry can determine the specific information represented by the code."

"So that's it." Zhao Lan nodded, thinking to himself: "This Li Yunfan does seem to have some skills."

"You don't know the purpose of my coming, right?" Zhao Lan continued to ask.

"Yes, we only know that your trust level is level A. Correspondingly, we will open to you all information with a confidentiality level of A and lower. You can freely query this information, or ask us Helps you do everything with difficulty level A and lower.”

The curiosity in Zhao Lan's heart was like a cat's paw, and he couldn't help but ask: "Is that so... So what specific things can I ask you to do for me? Well, just pick something with A-level difficulty. Give me an example."

"For example, assassinate the chief executive of a provincial administrative region." Rodriguez said calmly, his voice did not waver at all, and his expression remained as serious as ever. Everything Rodriguez did showed that what he said was not a joke.

"Is your power so huge?" Zhao Lan asked in surprise.

"No, our power is not strong in terms of operations." Rodriguez shook his head and denied this. "You have to know that this is peacetime, and the government's defenses are lax. To assassinate a chief executive, only a special operations team is needed. That's it. Moreover, after the assassination, you can be sure that the government will crack down on us severely, and we will pay a heavy price for it. So... we have the ability to make small moves in secret, but we do not have the ability to confront the government at all. Strength. In fact, if it weren’t for the boss’s wisdom, we would have been wiped out by the government ten thousand times.”

"So that's it..." Zhao Lan patted his chest and breathed out quietly, "I don't want to know too much about your organization... I'm a good citizen, I don't want to participate and I don't want to know too much. You'd better hurry up Please take me to the base. After getting the information I want, I will leave there immediately."

At this moment, Zhao Lan had made up his mind. After arriving at the base, apart from looking for information that could prove Li Yunfan's words, he would never look at other information to avoid having too much interaction with this mysterious organization. (To be continued ~^~)
