sin of lumen

The three balls have the same diameter, all are exactly nine centimeters, and they are all transparent bodies, with blue color vertically and horizontally in between, like yarn or wadding, varying in shades and thicknesses, like dyes poured into clear water and dispersed leisurely.

"It's not glass." Lu Ting took one of them and weighed it carefully. "It's like plastic. No matter how you say it, the density is too small."

"It's not like regular crystals either." Dun Mochi finished the luxurious thickened sandwich with a few mouthfuls.

"What is that?" Lu Ting led him to the kitchen. The orange juice was on the dining table. He picked it up and gave Dun Mochi a sip. line or something."

"En." Dun Mochi leaned against the edge of the table, looked at him, and bit into another bright red cherry tomato, his pupils shining brightly in the sunlight.

Lu Ting lifted the ball and put it into the beam of light from the window. It refracted a similar color to Deng Mochi's right eye, lighter than pine blue and darker than tea green, but still different.It is not thick enough, so it looks dull, Lu Ting thought, I am afraid that there is no color in the world that can be brighter than that eye.

"Boss, do you think it is not something on Earth?" He asked suddenly, "Like LastShadow, I always think it is so advanced, it must contain some extraterrestrial civilization."

Deng Mochi was deep in thought, but didn't answer.

Lu Ting thought for a while, and then said: "Under that bodhi tree... is also green, with green light, can this kind of ball shine?"

"Yes, I've seen it below." Deng Mochi said as he put down the dinner plate, grabbed Lu Ting's wrist, and threw him directly under the table.The thick canvas blocks most of the lighting for an instant. "Look," he said.

Lu Ting squatted side by side with him, the ball was still tightly held in his hands, there was indeed a faint green light, but it was much dimmer, if it was under such a complicated root system, it should not be visible at all.

"Does it look like Earth?" Dun Mochi asked.

"Ah?" Lu Ting was taken aback, and faintly, there was a light path passing through the sphere along its diameter, which resembled a tilted earth's axis. I don't know what the refraction principle is, "Indeed, then these lines...are continents? Plates? But the shape is wrong. .If it's the current line, it must be many years ago."

"There are three." Deng Mochi reminded him.

"Each has a different meaning?"

"It's also possible that they have to be put together."

"Put them together...you mean look at the overlapping of the patterns?" Lu Ting suddenly understood, but he still felt weird. The difficulty of deciphering these three nameless spheres is much more difficult than the final question of the password class, because the rules are all Not sure, "Do you think the spelling will be something like a map?"

"That's what I think." Deng Mochi cast a positive look.He lifted the tablecloth, Lu Ting got out with him and stood up straight, and came to the sunny porthole again. “A method of hiding treasure was popular among pirates in the [-]th century,” Deng Mochi explained, looking at the swaying sea, “draw more than three maps on wax paper, and overlap them to see the correct navigation route. "

Lu Ting was fascinated, and suddenly smiled: "Then let's go treasure hunting too! Let's see what we can find."

Dun Mochi looked at him sideways: "Then you need to overlap the three balls."

"What's so difficult about it? Isn't it just scanning parameters and then modeling? If the earth's axis is determined, this job is not difficult," Lu Ting vowed, "Leave it to me. You can make the parts with peace of mind. When the time comes, the ship will be repaired. The two of us will become new century pirates together, and if we really find the treasure, we will dominate the Atlantic Ocean."

Fearing that Deng Mochi would not believe it, he quickly said: "My modeling skills are not bad, and the subject of evidence close-up has a high score! And in terms of detail, I even have flower thorns..."

Lu Ting's voice suddenly dropped. He pressed his nose against the window and did not dare to turn his head. From the corner of his eye, he saw that Deng Mochi, like himself, was also staring at the melting sky and sea outside the window, doing something similar to being in a daze. Looks a little embarrassed.

Sure enough, they all thought of the printed rose.

In fact, there was no need for Lu Ting to sell himself like this. Deng Mochi seemed to be very relieved of him, or even indulged him to try. In short, Deng Mochi handed him the three balls together.As a result, Lu Ting has a lot of free time every day. In Deng Mochi's studio, he has opened up a small area for himself, and is busy with a 3D scanner and a computer every day.Since the sphere is a light-transmitting material, it forms a convex lens effect, and the transparency and molecular weight-level refractive index are unknown. Using the automatic model generation function will always be affected by it, and there will be deviations. Therefore, each green pattern needs to be calculated manually. Adjustment.

Coordinates, integral calculations, curved lines... Lu Ting stared at them, and sometimes his head would get dizzy. The time and energy, in order to appear to be able to do a job with ease.But now he doesn't want to be an idiot anymore. Whenever he wants to be lazy, he will look back at the person who is working hard on the welding table with thousands of degrees of heat, and remind himself not to walk too slowly to keep up with Deng Mochi's Trajectory - if they are two planets, if they fall too far beyond the gravitational range, the distance will only increase at an exponential rate, which is a terrible thing.

However, Lu Ting's life has not actually increased too much pressure because of the appearance of these three balls.He still has time to go down to the bottom of the sea with Deng Mochi, tinkling with the newly made parts, making them with his own hands, and then adjusting them to see them fit in perfectly, just like filling up the holes and making them brand new. It always gives people a sense of accomplishment, even if the high heat of the incoming air from the reactor in the power cabin will give the human body the illusion that it is about to become dehydrated.

He also liked to pull Dun Mochi on top of Elnath when the wind died down in his free time.The amount of radiation exposure in the nearby sea area is within the safe value, and the haze and dust are nowhere to be seen. In the rare cleanliness, they can bask in the sun unscrupulously.A sunset above sea level is always huge and bright red, while a sunrise looks farther and hazy than it is.At noon, the sea water is very warm. Lu Ting likes to slide down from the side of the spaceship, fall into the water happily, plunge into the water, and pop out his head with a bang.

The light flaxen hair was wet and stuck to the side of the face and forehead, as soft as if it had been atomized, and the water droplets hung on his skin, flashing like broken diamonds.Every time, he would remove the blindfold, step on the water and lie on the edge of the hull, raising his face to Dun Mochile.

Deng Mochi would frown at first, but later it became normal. He looked up at the sky as if nothing had happened, and communicated with a few thin clouds at the same frequency. He would only lower his eyes when Lu Ting was talking to him, and occasionally smiled cooperatively. .Later, when Lu Ting pulled him into the water, he didn't even resist.

"I've never swam in the sea before!" Lu Ting hugged him in the water, warmly leaning close to his ear.

"I never learned to swim." Deng Mochi said.

Lu Ting was shocked, he kept supporting his waist, and pushed him onto the spaceship, but Deng Mochi was very calm, pushed him and said, "But it seems to be possible."

After all, he swam from the wing to the bow, and then to the stern. The standard freestyle proved Lu Ting a circle.

"Is this also a talent..." Lu Ting was puzzled.

"Maybe I learned it before I was ten years old." Deng Mochi casually gave a reason, with a look of indifference, for some weirdness of his body and mind, he has already passed the stage of investigating the cause.

From then on, he often accompanied Lu Ting into the water. The two of them only wore underwear and a vest, lying on their backs on the water, looking at the open and vast sky together, imagining seabirds flying by.

Clothes soaked in seawater are very difficult to clean. In order to save space, there is no automatic laundry system installed in the cabin. After Lu Ting struggles to clean the clothes of the two of them, he often doesn't want to dry them one by one with a portable drying board up.So he chose to erect Elnath's power-off radar antenna, set up two steel ropes on it, and hang the clothes one by one.Summer has already passed, and even autumn is half past, and the time spent at sea has gone from a week, two weeks... to a month.And these days, there are only a few storms, and bright sunny days sprinkle a lot of it. With the hunting sea breeze, Lu Ting's clothes drying efficiency is always very high.

The corners of the clothes were blown up high, and the shadows were connected to each other, casting on his face, as well as Deng Mochi's T-shirt, white or black, he was used to wearing them to sit on the top of the boat with Lu Ting, holding his own I wrote and drew on the straw paper, and sweated a little more.Another thing that I have never experienced in my life in the special zone for more than ten years.Whenever this happens, Lu Ting will feel a kind of real happiness.

He once had such a fantasy - on the top of a mountain piled up with mechanical debris in the fourth district, he sat with one leg raised to stabilize the guitar, and played and sang certain songs for Dun Mochi.For example, in the song "Sitting here in silence on my own", the band is called Oasis, and he often felt that the ruins mentioned by other people were also his oasis. It was vast and quiet, and could hold every secret meeting between him and Deng Mochi.He's also going to change "onmyown" to "withyou" in the lyrics.

This fantasy is so beautiful, so beautiful that it frequently appears in his dreams, but now it seems to have come true, even though he didn't bring a guitar, Deng Mochi sat with him, as small as loneliness, as big as the ocean, it was an oasis Composition, they all have in common.

Two days after No.40 lived off the ground, Lu Ting finally completed the modeling of the three spheres and successfully synthesized the shapes of the overlapping parts.He took them out individually and represented them in red on a blank spherical model. After the representation was over, he still had no clue.There are both surface and interior of the sphere, and most of them are small and long and narrow. Try to think of it as the earth, and those red flocs are all over every continent and every ocean.

If there really are so many treasures... Then there is a reason to wander around with Deng Mochi all his life, Lu Ting thought so hopelessly.He also knows that this is an idiot's dream, but when he can do it, let himself be an idiot for the time being, which has always been his hobby.

More than a week later, on the day of living off the ground, on the day when Lu Ting installed the fourth replacement core for the seawater conversion machine, Deng Mochi embedded the last part into the core of the engine.

"I can fly now." He put down the test pen and said.

Lu Ting was so excited that he couldn't speak for a moment, followed him with sweat profusely, and walked together from the power cabin to the main control room, but saw this man stop halfway, and took out a set of anti-pressure equipment from the equipment cabinet on the wall. Diving suit, you have to take off your clothes and change on the spot.

"What's wrong?" Lu Ting stopped him, "You want to go down?"

"An electromagnetic anchor is installed to prevent the tsunami, and it can only fly when it is closed." Deng Mochi lowered his head and untied the straps of his sweatpants.

Lu Ting tied him back again, "Do you have to do it manually?"

"En." Deng Mochi's hand was stiff, and he didn't know where to put it.

"Why don't you pretend to have remote control?" Lu Ting sighed and tied the knot.

"Because it's cheap." Deng Mochi said it as it should be.

When Lu Ting thought about it, this was indeed the case, especially since the magnetic anchor is a disposable consumable that can be thrown away after use.But he has his own plan, "I'll go down, you've been up all night, the water depth is more than 70 meters, maybe you will feel uncomfortable," he straightened the collar of Deng Mochi's shirt, and said, "That kind of magnetic force I have also come into contact with the anchor, and I have also received professional diving training, so there is no problem."

"Learned at the police academy?"

"That's right," Lu Ting squinted and smiled, "I'm a Class I criminal police officer, trained as a special forces reserve."

Deng Mochi didn't say anything else. When Lu Ting changed his diving suit, he didn't know where he went, but then he suddenly appeared and helped Lu Ting put on the oxygen cylinder and oxygen mask, and also replaced the lighting with a higher wattage one. one.

"There are four in total, close them in order," he urged, and then asked, "Did you see it?"

Four light spots appeared on the eyepiece in front of Lu Ting, symmetrically distributed on the two wings and the central axis of the triangular spaceship, and marked with serial numbers in turn.

"See, one, two, three, four, let's go clockwise." Lu Ting patted Deng Mochi's hand, reassuring him.

"Oxygen is enough for an hour."

"I'll finish it in 10 minutes."

This is not bragging. LastShadow itself is not big, and Lu Ting's physical fitness and diving skills are the best. Only 8 minutes passed after solving the second electromagnetic anchor.The density of the undercurrent around the spaceship was moderate, and occasionally fine sand rose up, blocking some of the line of sight, but Lu Ting was not panicked. He also had the lighting that Deng Mochi changed for him, as well as the diving suit worn by Deng Mochi.The smell of rust seemed to be stored in the oxygen cylinder, wrapping him as docilely as a diving suit.

Lu Ting even developed a sense of belonging. This feeling is too solid and safe. In the dark seabed, his beam of light seems to be able to immediately illuminate the nest where he can live.

However, once he was done with the third magnetic anchor, things seemed to be going wrong.The physical sign recorder that came with the diving suit began to remind him that his body temperature was rising and his heartbeat was accelerating. Once every minute, Lu Ting himself felt the heat. What was even more exaggerated was that some liquid appeared at some unknown time. The diving suit wrapped tightly around his legs and thighs became smoother, clinging to his skin like a suction cup.

Lu Ting held onto the hull almost in a panic, and swam to the last magnetic anchor.As he turned the wrench he remembered desperately that he didn't have any inhibitors with him, and despite Lucy's reminder before setting off, he forgot.

You are too that!He scolded himself, the heat flow was still spreading, and he was too embarrassed to even come up with specific words.But he thought again, he couldn't blame himself entirely, wearing a fake sharkskin diving suit worn next to his body... This is a very erotic thing in itself!

In the end, Lu Ting returned to the transition cabin with his excellent technology, the airtight door was opened for him, and he was able to return to the interior of the spacecraft.The overhead radio rang, and it was Deng Mochi's voice: "Thank you, I'm in the main control room."

Lu Ting took off his mask, and before he could catch his breath, he started to run: "I'll be right away!"

He didn't even bother to change his clothes. In fact, he didn't have the courage to see what he had done inside the dive suit he took off. He sneaked into the main control room, and the mummy on the co-pilot disappeared without a trace, and all the dirty things were gone. Wipe it clean, this is obviously the seat prepared for Lu Ting, so he took a deep breath and sat on it.

"Come on, let's fly! The greatest spaceship of the 21st century!" Lu Ting was full of unnatural pride.

"Seat belt." Deng Mochi typed the command on the operation panel normally, and did not forget to remind.

Lu Ting consciously said something stupid again, stuck out his tongue, and fastened the buckle angrily.The power cabin is behind, the faint sound of the engine is like the heartbeat of a healthy racehorse, and the movement occurs in the next second, so smooth that people can't feel the resistance of the water. What carries them is a sharp knife, and the sea water I just couldn't help but grasp the tofu, it was broken open neatly, and the sky filled the cabin in an instant.

The blue sky opened its broad mind to them, rushed in, and this old warship, which had been silent for a long time, became its newborn citizen.Lu Ting squinted his eyes from the sunlight, and at the same time he held his breath unconsciously. He realized that he was at a speed that no previous spaceship could provide, and the torrent of time was also moving in an unprecedented speed. He ran over him with dense force, and what is the end of the world if he continues like this?The world is flattened into a blank sheet of paper, the special zone, the capital city, the cold America and the equator...even the clouds rolling in the sky are all left behind by him!

Only the white rose was stable, fixed in the groove, in front of him.

Unable to explain the reason, Lu Ting actually shed tears.

Deng Mochi smiled, very lightly, but it was always stuck in the corner of his mouth, as if he could also smile so calmly for his devotion, ambition, and persistence over the years.

"Feel it?" he asked softly.

"What?" Lu Ting stared blankly at his profile.

"Connect." Deng Mochi said these two words firmly.

"Connect." Lu Ting repeated in a daze.

Finally, when they circled back to the original point of departure, they began to descend at a constant speed, and Lu Ting lowered his head subconsciously.Through the down-view mirror, he saw the shadow of the spaceship imprinted on the sea surface, an inverted triangle, constantly zoomed in and zoomed in, and landed next to the thin Elnath.

Last Shadow.Lu Ting repeated the name again in his heart.

The surface of his diving suit was dried, his tears were also dried, and his heart was filled with ecstasy. When he fell back to the surface of the sea and floated, the spaceship was still light and did not stir up a big wave.

But the two stayed in their seats, looked at the sky, looked out the window, looked at the dashboard, and finally looked at each other, as if they couldn't move, their eyes fused together silently, and they couldn't be separated anymore.

"...Boss, I'm sorry to say this when I'm so solemn," Lu Ting finally spoke first, his thoughts returned, his voice rose and fell with his chest, his hands crossed in front of his lower abdomen, and his tightly knit fingers steamed with him. With a red face, she seemed at a loss, "But I seem to be in heat."

"I know." Deng Mochi looked at him peacefully, without deliberately looking away, but his cheeks couldn't tell a lie, as if he had been infected by Lu Ting, and his ears were flushed together.
