I just want to retire quietly

"Minister Yu, I'm sorry, because I am self-willed, I let you take the blame."

After everyone left, Qiao Zhixue said with a blushing face.

"Little Qiao, do you still remember what I said when I made you the main person in charge of the 'Empty' project against all odds?" Minister Yu looked at the wall with his hands behind his back.

"You said, I just need to be responsible for producing results, researching a clear result, doing what I want, and leaving the rest of the difficulties to you."

"That's not enough." Minister Yu said.

Before the meeting, they had discussed that in order not to increase the burden on the existing team, they should add at most one newcomer, and if there were more, they would really be unable to move.But during the meeting, Qiao Zhixue thought of something, changed his mind temporarily, and directly used the computer in front of him to send a message to Minister Yu, increasing the number of people to three, and made Minister Yu act tougher.

"But I took the blame, so I should know why, right?" Minister Yu turned his head with a sad face, "That kid must think I'm cold-blooded and heartless again."

Qiao Zhixue knew about Minister Yu's family situation, and Minister Yu's family members were also top-secret and had been under the protection of the military.In terms of household registration, Liang Xian didn't even dare to follow his parents' surname, but followed his grandmother's.He hadn't received much love from his father since he was a child, and that incident happened again during the one-year internship and inspection period after graduating from high school...

"He will understand in the future." Qiao Zhixue sighed. He was so focused on his research that he didn't know how to comfort him about housework.

Minister Yu rubbed his face and wiped away the sadness: "What's going on, why did you change your mind temporarily?"

"You come with me."

Qiao Zhixue will be taken by the minister to the laboratory at the base, which is dedicated to Qiao Zhixue. Without his iris authentication, no one else can enter.

He took out five transparent containers containing five pieces of skin.

"What is this?" Minister Yu asked with a frown.

"I collected the skins of five people who entered the 'hole'." Qiao Zhixue put several groups of skins in front of Minister Yu. "I conducted radiation experiments on these five experimental products, and released rays that would accelerate human aging. For a month, you watch these skin changes carefully."

Minister Yu squinted for a while with a magnifying glass, and then said uncertainly: "No. 2 is extremely wrinkled, 345 is a bit old, but it's okay, and No. 1 is very young."

Speaking of this, Minister Yu frowned slightly, and he also realized who the five sets of specimens belonged to.

"No. 1 belongs to Tan Yan, No. 2 belongs to Minister Yu, and No. 345 belongs to Liang Xian and the three of them. You are already older than them, and it is normal for you to get older. The problem is, apart from Tan Yan, other No one has shown the characteristics of anti-aging, and our previous assumption that "you will live forever after entering another world" is wrong." Qiao Zhixue explained, "Only Tan Yan has shown specialness."

"Why is that?"

"I was puzzled at the beginning," Qiao Zhixue said, "Tan Yan is indeed a human being, and all his examinations are no different from normal people. At most, his physical fitness is better, but it is not as good as it is. Those. After all, their generation was born with hardships, and they didn’t eat well when they were young, and their foundation was a bit poor. The old Chinese doctor told me that Tan Yan’s body is actually quite weak. Don’t look at him now. When you get older, you will suffer from five labors, seven injuries and all kinds of diseases, and you may have to suffer when you are old."

"But he has never aged, and he still maintains the youngest state." Minister Yu said.

"Since doing this experiment, I have read a lot of books, but I still can't explain Tan Yan's state. I even read some metaphysics books, such as ancient myths and stories, but they are not right."

Qiao Zhixue described his research process with an attitude of seeking knowledge, and Minister Yu was embarrassed to hear it.

"Until Liang Xian brought back the real root of the supernatural power this time, it provided me with a new idea." Qiao Zhixue took out Tan Yan's brainwave diagram, "Liang Xian believes that the supernatural power comes from the quantum force in consciousness, and consciousness is infinite. Composed of entangled electrons, these electrons control the microscopic particles in the surrounding environment through thinking, thereby acting on matter and producing supernatural powers. In other words, Tan Yan, whose brain cells are highly active, has a very strong consciousness, which is so strong that we cannot imagine it. What he can do is beyond our expectations.”

"Could it be that he won't grow old if he doesn't want to be old?" Minister Yu expressed doubts, "This is too ridiculous."

"That's not the case." Qiao Zhixue took out a stack of printed A4 papers, "This is Tan Yan's transcript before, and what we asked, the evaluation of him by the colleagues of the Ping County Public Security Management Office. I think these are very useful. After reading a lot, I found that the frequency of occurrence of a word is particularly high.”

He handed the document to Minister Yu, and Minister Yu took a look. In these conversations, the word "retirement" appeared frequently.

Tan Yan himself said, "I will retire in two years", "After retirement, I will rest", "After retirement, I will travel and enjoy the happiness"; colleagues said that Tan Yan's work attitude is very good, and they keep repeating "until retirement, You must stick to it until the last moment", "People who are about to retire are not really retired, there are still two years to go, and they must work hard before that", "Tan Yan is a good comrade, and almost no veteran cadres who are about to retire are as serious as him working hard"...

These conversations were hidden in many trivial inquiries. If Qiao Zhixue hadn't marked them one by one, he really wouldn't have noticed this word.

After all, it is an objective fact that Tan Yan is about to retire. Anyone who mentions him will say these two words.

But if you really mark them all out, the feeling is a bit different.

"Consciousness, abilities, immortality, retirement..." Minister Yu tapped his fingers on the table unconsciously, and came to the same conclusion as Qiao Zhixue, "'Retirement' is Tan Yan's bottom line and the limit he has set for himself."

"That's right," Qiao Zhixue flipped through the documents, pointing out a sentence for Minister Yu, "I've read Tan Yan's words many times, and I understand his character very well, but this sentence doesn't match his character and violates his character. His style of conduct."

This conversation happened when the minister was interrogating Tan Yan alone, and it was sorted out by the minister for everyone to see——

Minister Yu asked: What if you are no longer a policeman in Ping County?

Tan Yan's answer is: If you retire, get a good night's sleep first, these years have been quite tiring.

Seeing this passage, Minister Yu picked up a pen and circled the word "sleep", feeling a bad premonition in his heart.

"Given Tan Yan's character, is it possible that he will ignore the 'empty' phenomenon after he retires?" Qiao Zhixue said, "After 40 years of ups and downs, he has not given up no matter how hard it is. What kind of difficulty is it? Can danger stop a veteran cadre like him?"

Only death.

Tan Yanhui struggled until he was exhausted and his body was bruised and bruised, but death was his biggest obstacle.

"You mean, Tan Yan will die as soon as he reaches the retirement age. His vigorous energy for so many years has been achieved by overdrawing his vitality. And his subconscious mind knows that he can't last long, so he said this sentence, and He himself doesn't know anything about it." Minister Yu's tone was very heavy.

"Exactly." Qiao Zhixue put down the document, "I didn't want to believe it when I guessed it at the meeting just now."

For them, anyone can sacrifice, but Tan Yan cannot.

This is not only because Tan Yan is currently the only person who can freely enter and exit the "empty place", but also because this veteran cadre has devoted himself to the country for so many years, has no personal life, and is not even married.Apart from work, there is no love, family and friendship in a lifetime. If such a person ushers in the end of life after work, isn't it a bit too...

Even Qiao Zhixue, a scientific madman who only knows about research, feels a little sad, let alone Minister Yu who already has a crush on Tan Yan.

"You know that Tan Yan only has two years to live, so you're in a hurry?" Minister Yu sighed deeply, "That's a bit..."

"It's not just that," Qiao Zhixue said. "Two years is very urgent, but it's not so urgent. The reason why I want to add people is because I have another idea."

"You can tell from the look on your face that it's not a good thing."

"Half good and half bad," Qiao Zhixue said. "After discovering Tan Yan's physical condition, I found a paradox in his words. It's strange why we haven't realized it all the time."

"What paradox?"

"Tan Yan said that 'powers cannot be used in the real world', but his immortality is not an 'empty' gift, but the result of the ability to enhance the activity of the body's cells. According to his previous theory, he should only be able to change in the different world. You are young, but you won’t keep your youthful appearance even in the real world.” Qiao Zhi learned the language surprisingly, and suddenly guessed the truth that Liang Xian was trying so hard to conceal.

"That's right," Minister Yu said suddenly, "Why didn't we realize it? It's strange..."

"I can only think of one answer. Tan Yan's consciousness has affected our judgment. First of all, he is convinced that it is true, so we followed him to believe it."

Hearing this sentence, Minister Yu's face suddenly became serious.

"Looking at your expression, I also realized how terrible it would be if the real world could use consciousness. So I said this thing is half good and half bad. Think about it better, speed up human evolution, and the bad thing is this The result of evolution is terrible, if there is a person whose brain development far exceeds that of Tan Yan, can the country control the speed of this progress?" Qiao Zhixue asked.

"It's hard," Minister Yu shook his head, "Tan Yan's simple words can even affect our consciousness, so this kind of supernatural power cannot be solved by rockets and cannons. Before we can fully master this power, this matter Things must not be leaked.”

Especially in the future, they may also act together with foreign soldiers. If even people from other countries know about this, the world will be in chaos and the consequences will be disastrous.

"Yes, I decided to take what Tan Yan said to be true." Qiao Zhixue sighed, "If I hadn't told myself, I would have remained skeptical no matter what point of view I had, and would not have believed in any so-called truth, nor would I have been able to realize this matter. It’s true. This kind of influence is really terrifying, it doesn’t force you to believe like hypnosis, but it affects the root of thinking from the subconscious level, and once it is influenced, it’s hard to get rid of.”

Minister Yu calmed down, organized his thoughts again, recalled what he said before, and then asked: "Then what does all this discovery have to do with your sudden increase in the number of people?"

"I suspect that the awakening ability of the three of Liang Xian is not because of their near-death state, but because Tan Yan can't accept seeing them dying, and hopes that they can awaken."

"Wait, I'll take it easy." Minister Yu rubbed his temples with a headache.

Almost every sentence Qiao Zhixue said today challenged his ability to accept. If Minister Yu had not seen many incredible incidents in the State Technical Security Bureau over the years, his old bones would hardly be able to accept the explosive amount of information.

How many secrets does Tan Yan still have for them to discover?

I have to say, fortunately, Tan Yan is a good young man who grew up under the socialist red flag. If he accidentally grows crooked after coming out of the "hole", with Tan Yan's power, what will this country be like now? Not sure yet.

"As I said, Tan Yan's strength is enhancement. This definition is not random. I think his consciousness can enhance the frequency of activity of microscopic particles themselves, and even bring about qualitative changes to the outside world by enhancing the frequency. Minister, human beings are not So easy to evolve, it took millions of years for us to change from ape-man to human, if there is no stimulus of "void", Tan Yan's change will be delayed by at least tens of thousands of years, and will the universe give us Tens of thousands of years are not certain." Qiao Zhixue said seriously, "I tend to think that Tan Yan is the only 'example' that has appeared in these millions of years, and the rest are only in the process of changing and not changing. The enhanced ability gave everyone a push, and this one pushed forward the process for at least ten thousand years."

If Liang Xian and the others hadn't had Tan Yan at that time, they might have become disabled and completely ruined their future because of their deaths in a different world.But first, they have a strong desire to evolve; second, after the "void" is decomposed and reconstituted in a different world, their subconscious minds feel the operation of the quantum force field during this process. Although they may not be able to understand it, they still I have an impression; third, Tan Yan's promotion.

His strong sense of not wanting the three of them to have an accident gave them a push, thereby promoting their awakening.

It took Minister Yu a long time to straighten out Qiao Zhixue's words. He felt that his head was not enough. Hey, young people have big brains. Everyone had a meeting together. None of him and the old men in the research team thought of it. Yes, but Qiao Zhixue analyzed so many things in a short meeting.

How does the head grow.

"I understand a little bit, so you want to force Tan Yan."

"Yes, the number of three people is on the verge of danger, but it is also the limit that Tan Yan can protect." Qiao Zhixue analyzed, "With his character, if he knows that he will sacrifice those who cannot be awakened when necessary, Tan Yan will definitely I strongly hope that everyone can awaken. If you can’t awaken under this circumstance, it means that this student really has no such possibility.”

"My approach may be more risky, but it is the fastest way to cultivate as many talents suitable for entering the 'hole' as possible within two years."

"Two years?" Minister Yu said with a wry smile, "We are putting the survival of human beings on one person."

He is still a dying person who burns his whole life for the country.
