Chapter 9 Chapter Eight: Stones from Other Mountains Can Be Mistakes

I looked at the time, it was less than 20 hours before and after, they came so fast, but when I said they came so fast, Gobi said: "We came three hours ago, we didn't want to disturb the rest of you, so there was no alarm , now, there is a little problem!" Bai Su and I both laughed, followed by the voice of the desert: "The factory personnel unanimously disagree with our proposal, so I would like to invite the two of you to make the final decision!" I was stunned for a moment: "As long as this cock can be opened, any plan is fine, what's not acceptable?"

At this time, the voice of the factory director intervened: "Mr. Wei, you'd better come to the factory immediately, I think you will also oppose their method!" Bai Su and I looked at each other: "Okay, come right away!" Ten minutes later, Bai Su and I entered the workshop and saw Gobi's expression very excited, pacing back and forth. As for the factory, several important officials were present with dignified expressions, while the desert looked very calm, but his expression was very strange: he stood in front of the laser instrument, with one hand on the laser instrument.

When I saw this situation in the desert, I was startled, and blurted out: "No!" Because looking at him, he seems to still want to use this laser device, and the huge shock caused by using this laser device last time still has lingering fears, and he will be afraid when he sees this device, let alone use it again , so I naturally called out like that. When I yelled, the director's face turned ashen, and his voice was very sharp: "Exactly!" I immediately looked towards the Gobi desert. Gobi approached the container and pointed to the top of the factory building. He pointed to the small hole pierced by the laser. We are fully aware of the situation!"

I said quickly: "Since you know it, you shouldn't use it anymore." Gobi talked eloquently: "If you use it improperly once, it doesn't mean you can't use it again. Besides, as far as I know, there is no more effective tool on earth..." I snorted, approached him, approached the container, and kicked the container forcefully: "Lasers don't work on this kind of metal!" Gobi looked triumphant: "I'm not going to deal with the metal of this container!" I was stunned for a while, not knowing what he meant by saying that.He pointed to the door of the container: "See, there is a gap between the door and the container!"

I snorted again, there is of course a gap between the door and the container.But the seam is so tight that it looks like it's just a very thin line, unless you look carefully, you can't see it at all. Gobi continued to look: "The gap in this door is so tight that no tool can be inserted in it, but the laser is an exception. The laser is just a kind of energy, invisible and intangible. It can pass through any tight gap—as long as there is a drop Sew it, and it will go in!" I sneered: "In theory, I also believe that through accurate measurement and calculation, you can shoot the laser into the gap without any mistakes. What's the use?"

Gobi pointed to the desert: "Both of us think that the door of this container is designed to be tightly attached to each other, so it is necessary to add a soft, slightly compressible material to make the door and the container fit tightly. , what we have to deal with is this layer of matter!" After he finished speaking, he looked at me with confidence, hoping to get my approval. But I still shook my head: "First, the existence of this kind of soft matter is only your imagination. Maybe alien metal crafts can make metals stick to each other. Second, even if there is such a soft substance If soft matter exists, there is a high possibility that lasers will not be able to deal with it!"

After Gobi heard what I said, he didn't know how to refute for a while, so he rolled his eyes up angrily, and the desert said in a deep voice: "Mr. Wei, any exploration has an element of adventure. If you are 100% sure, then There is no need to explore anything!" I waved my hand vigorously: "The consequences are terrible!" The desert looked calm: "It's not terrible. I can manipulate the instrument so that if the laser is reflected, it will shoot into the sky. The chance of hitting an object in the air is actually only one in a billion. If you don't even take this risk , then, let this container never be opened!"

I was moved by the words of the desert, I looked towards Bai Su, and Bai Su took a breath: "If, if there is someone in the container, won't it cause harm to him?" Desert's answer was: "Unless his body is close to the door, then he will be slightly damaged on the surface, as if the surface has been scratched." Bai Su looked at me again, and I caught the message she wanted to express in her eyes. Bai Su was obviously saying to me: "It's worth a try!" So I changed my attitude, my voice still sounded hesitant, but what I said was, "Seems worth a try?"

I said this to the factory manager and the others. The factory manager hesitated for a moment, and then nodded with hesitation. Gobi cheered loudly, but Desert did not delay for a moment, and had already started to adjust the laser instrument. He came to operate it himself, so he was naturally much more skilled than the factory's technicians. He adjusted for a few minutes, and repeated it again and again. Then, he let out a long breath and glanced at the desert. The desert made a gesture, and Gobi pressed a button, and the laser shot out. When the laser is fired, there is actually no sound at all, but in various movies or TVs, it is accompanied by a "sizzling" sound as usual, so there is that kind of illusion, that laser beam, just from watching Shot through a crack in the door that didn't exist.Gobi's action was really fast. The laser didn't reflect for a few tenths of a second at most, so he knew that he had initially succeeded. He quickly moved the range of the laser up and down, and immediately pressed the button again One button and the laser disappears.

The time before and after is definitely not more than one second. During this second, everyone is sure to hold their breath, and after one second, everyone's eyes are wide open, because everyone is watching. Hey, the door of that big box is just opening a little bit! Gobi first jumped forward, stretched out his hand, and opened the door! Sure enough, the laser broke the door lock, but everyone was stunned behind the rectangular door. Inside that door was another smaller oval door. That kind of door does not look unfamiliar, like the kind commonly found in submarines, or the kind of permanent door in large vaults. There is a turntable on the door. At that time, I also came to the door. Gobi made a gesture to me, I took two steps, grasped the turntable with both hands, and turned it vigorously, but unexpectedly the turntable was very light, I used too much force, and almost couldn't stand still.

The turntable, which looked like the steering wheel of a car, turned six or seven times, and then pulled hard, and the oval door opened. The door is extremely thick, just like the steel door of a general vault. After the door is opened——at that time, all the people present have gathered in front of it, so everyone can see the scene after the door is opened. For a while, everyone was silent, and it was surprisingly quiet. The moment of silence was naturally due to the fact that the scene everyone saw surprised and inexplicably surprised those who saw it. When the heavy door opened, I was about to open it, so I was the last to see the scene after the door opened. Behind the door is an oval-shaped space, like an enlarged cocoon, about two meters high and one and a half meters wide. Compared with the entire volume of the large rectangular box, it only takes up half of it at most. , are all layers of metal layers, with different colors. These many metal layers seem to play a protective role—at least one of them is to prevent X-ray perspective. In that cocoon-shaped space, the first thing you see is a seat with a slightly upward angle. The size of that chair is just enough for a person of ordinary stature to sit comfortably. The chair has a fairly wide width. The armrests, on both sides of the armrests, are densely packed with buttons, at least over a hundred of them. On the top of the seat is a silver-gray screen divided into nine grids. It looks similar to a fluorescent screen, but it is different, but it seems that at least it is certain that these silver screens are functioning as a fluorescent screen. No one, Mr. Hassan is not in the big box, anyone can tell at a glance. But none of the people present, including me and Bai Su, thought that after the "container" was opened, the internal situation would be like this. Everyone stared, but no one said anything.It was Gobi who had the first reaction. Instead of making a sound, he stretched out his hand with a dreamy expression, wanting to press the button on the armrest of the seat. His movements were very slow, showing that he was very hesitant in his heart, and the desert also made a move at this moment, and grabbed his hand immediately, not letting him stretch forward. Bai Su and I also shouted at that time: "Don't mess with those buttons!" Until then, it was the shouts of several other people: "God! What... is that?" The Gobi desert looked at me immediately, I took a breath and pointed to the seat: "I'm not sure what that is, but I've seen similar setups, I think it's a..." I've definitely seen something like that, and it looks like, like, a space capsule, or the cockpit of a one-man spaceship, or whatever.But I can't say exactly what it is. It couldn't be a flying object—the shape of a flying object, there is no reason to be large, like a meat freezer. So what is it?Is it a lounge?a laboratory?A place to hide?Or a control room for some kind of instrument? I paused for a while, and had to spread my hands: "To be honest, I don't know what it is!" Although the desert stopped Gobi from touching those buttons, he has already probed to check them——Desert, Bai Su and I both stopped Gobi from pressing those buttons, because we don't know what those buttons are, and we can't touch them at all. Anticipate what happens when one of these buttons is pressed: maybe nothing happens, maybe the consequences are dire! Because what is before us is all our ignorance, and we don't even know what the consequences of a slight mistake are! Not only the desert is observing, but others also know that each button must have a function, and there are symbols on the buttons, which may indicate the functions of those buttons.But every symbol seems to be just some inexplicable combination of lines, absolutely nothing intelligible! I took a deep breath and repeated over and over: "This isn't something from Earth, no!" There is a lot of reason for me to say this, because there are some symbols, which are almost universal characters on the earth, and everyone can understand them at a glance. For example, adding a horizontal line in the middle of a circle means prohibition, and red means danger. mean, wait.But here, none of the people present could understand the symbols on the hundreds of buttons! Some of those symbols are composed of geometric lines, but they don't understand what they mean.For example, if there is a small triangle inside a big triangle, what does that represent?What does the inversion of the corners of the small triangle mean?There are three points in a circle, what does it represent?Who can know that there are three small circles in a parallelogram, which means what is the function of this button? There are also some symbols, which do not consist of geometric figures at all, and look like a kind of quaint script. Under such circumstances, who dares to press a button casually? When I was surprised, everyone talked about it, and my statement was recognized: "Hashan fished it from the sea. It is a kind of unknown purpose from unknown aliens. So many of us can't handle it." Knowing what this thing is, Hasan has absolutely no reason to figure it out, there may be some factors that we don't know about!" Bai Su was a little embarrassed: "This Mr. Hasan claims to be my father's old friend, but he has owned this thing for so long, and he never even mentioned it to my father. I really don't mean it!" Bai Su seldom showed such agitation, at this time her dissatisfaction was naturally mostly due to her heartache for Boss Bai's failure in the bet! . Seeing that Bai Su was unhappy, I immediately stood by her side. I angrily closed the thick and heavy door hard, and there was a "bang" sound. Then, I lifted my foot again, kicked the door hard, and said loudly: "It's best to sink it back into the sea, and when Hasan reappears, maybe I can fish it out of the sea again." !" For my few words, everyone present showed a look of disapproval. From everyone's expressions, it can be seen that everyone is ambitious and wants to research something famous on this thing.I waved my hand and continued to develop my opinion: "Everyone, this thing comes from an alien planet. It is certain that we don't know what it does, and I believe it can't be researched, because any advanced organisms on different stars , is completely different from us!" Gobi disagreed: "At least, that seat proves that the advanced creatures on that planet have bodies similar to ours, and any of us can sit on that seat." Desert added: "That alien at least has fingers or similar organs, otherwise, those buttons cannot be used!" The chief engineer said: "Of course there are eyes, otherwise, what kind of organ would you use to see those symbols!" I didn't insist, and made an exaggerated gesture: "Okay, then, let's start researching. First, someone must sit on the chair that fits!" I stood in front of the door all the time, and while speaking, I stretched out my hand and pulled hard, and the door opened again. I mean, anyone please go in and sit down and see what you find. So, when I opened the door, I faced everyone, and people stood behind the door, so they couldn't see the seat, and all I saw were other people.In an instant, I knew something was terribly wrong!Because everyone I saw, including Bai Su, who was the calmest, was inexplicably horrified, like seeing a ghost! Everyone showed this look, naturally everyone saw what they should never see, but I was the only one who didn't see it, it was naturally because I was behind the door! So, while I was greatly shocked, I didn't have time to ask others what they saw, so I turned around and passed the door. At this time, I also saw it, and believe me, the look on my face was absolutely no exception, and it was also extremely shocking! Yes, anyone would be astonished, and I believe that the calmest person is no exception: the scene he saw was not much different from just now, except that there was an extra person on that seat! It was clear that there was no one there just now, but suddenly there was an extra person on the seat between the opening and closing of the door—this kind of scene is very similar to some large-scale magic performances, but since no one thinks that the container is a large-scale The props of the magic show, naturally no one would think that it was a magic show! That's shocking enough!Where is this man from? This person is an old man. When I saw him, he was slowly opening his eyes. It can be inferred that when others saw him, his eyes were closed. His expression was very peaceful--he was very peaceful until he opened his eyes completely, and when he opened them and saw so many people looking at him with strange and inexplicable expressions, he was more peaceful than anyone else. Even more alarmed! The man was an old man, a very old man. I was shocked when I saw him, but I knew right away who he was.Bai Su obviously did the same, she stepped to my side, we naturally held hands, both hands were cold. At this time, everyone was silent because of extreme surprise, and the old man was the same. He looked extremely horrified, but he was the first to regain his composure. He was sitting on the chair, which was tilted slightly up and not facing the door, but his finger pressed one of the many buttons on the armrest of the chair, and the chair turned. , became facing the door, and no longer slanted upwards, and became facing us. I noticed that he was so skilled at pressing the buttons that he didn't even have to look. When he faced us, his eyes quickly passed over everyone, and then stopped on Bai Su's body. At that moment, he clearly recognized Bai Su's identity. Bai Su smiled, and said loudly in Shanghai dialect: "You found me, Boss Bai really has two hands!" He didn't open his mouth, and Bai Su and I already knew that this old man who suddenly appeared like a magic show was Mr. Hasan. Hasan would suddenly sit on that chair, it was shocking enough, but when he opened his mouth at this moment, he uttered such a sentence, which surprised Bai Su and me even more! Because he said it like he was sitting there and we opened the door and saw him! But in fact, I don't know how many twists and turns have taken place during this period, so why didn't he know anything about it? When Bai Su and I were stunned, Hasan had already stood up from the seat. As soon as he stood up, there was a step that was hidden somewhere under the seat, and it stretched out automatically. He stepped on the steps, walked down, and walked out of the container. His eyes stayed on Bai Su's body all the time, and after walking out of the container, he pointed at Bai Su and said with a smile, "It's Missy, Boss Bai is so lucky to have a daughter like you!" He has been speaking Shanghai dialect. Some of the Shanghai dialect is very vulgar and some are very polite. Among friends, they often call each other's children "Miss" and "Master".Bai Su was originally very clever in dealing with it, but at this moment, because she was so shocked, she still froze and couldn't make a sound. Hasan was still smiling, still speaking in Shanghai dialect: "Someone must have betrayed me, otherwise, you will never find me—" "Chilaomazi" is a curse word. He entered it like this, naturally he thought that the captain had told him where he was hiding.And when he said this, Bai Su and I were even more surprised, because it sounded like he was hiding in that container all the time! When Hasan said this, he didn't focus on Bai Su, he glanced at me, and then at the environment he was in. Suddenly, his expression became strange and inexplicable, and he called out: "You two What has changed to my ship? This—" He yelled halfway, then stopped abruptly, looked at us, his expression was even more strange and inexplicable, first waved his hands a few times, made a few meaningless noises in his throat, and then asked in a choked voice: "Am I on the boat?" ?Yes or no?" Until then, I could not make a sound, and my voice was hoarse, and I called: "Mr. Hassan!" Hasan looked at me, and Bai Su and I were holding hands all the time, since he recognized Bai Su, he would naturally know who I am, so he didn't even greet me, and asked directly: "What's going on?" I let out a long breath, and called out together with Bai Suqi: "It's a long story, Mr. Hasan, you've been—" Having said that, Bai Su and I pointed to the container together.At that moment, Hasan became a little nervous again amidst his surprised expression. He took a step back, first closed the thick oval door, and then closed the heavy door outside. Then, his expression became more puzzled, he stared at the laser device, and shouted hoarsely: "God, what happened? Where am I? Tell me quickly, where is Boss Bai?" He became He was very excited, but it was fine if he wasn't excited, his mood changed all at once, and everyone present felt that they couldn't bear it, and they all exploded emotionally. The chief engineer called first: "Don't ask us what happened, ask yourself what happened!" There were at least three other people who, regardless of being polite, pointed at him and asked, "Where did you come from?" A person (probably the deputy director of the factory) shouted: "He is not human! I don't know what kind of monster..." Hasan was startled and angry. Seeing the chaos, I shouted, "Everyone be quiet..." I called out three times in a row, and everyone finally calmed down. I hurriedly asked Hasan: "Mr. Hasan, the matter is very complicated, and it is really difficult to explain it in words. You have many questions, and we also have many questions. Do you want to find a place to talk about it?" Talk, don't stand in this factory building?" Hasan yelled again: "Factory? Why am I in the factory? How did you open this container? Where's Boss Bai?" He was still asking nonsense, and was very angry and agitated. I spread my hands, not knowing how to deal with this situation.Bai Su spoke at this moment.At this time, everyone was very anxious, confused, and shocked, but Bai Su's voice was very soft and calm, and it first played a soothing role in everyone's uneasy emotions.She said: "Uncle Hassan, we have many questions to ask each other, can we put them in order?" Upon hearing this, Hasan said, "I'll ask first." Although I am impatient and don't know how many questions I have to ask, I also know that under the current situation, if I argue with Hassan first, it will only make things more confusing, so I will not argue with him, but there is a saying , but I have to declare in advance. Because among my many questions, some must have been about that container.And after Hasan got the container, he didn’t even mention it to his best friend, Boss Bai, so he might not be willing to tell us the truth, so I said loudly: “No matter what the question is, answer it truthfully. " Hassan glared at me immediately. It was only then that I had a chance to introduce myself: "I'm Wesley." Hasanmen snorted: "What is it? Interrogation of prisoners?" I insisted: "There is only one key question, and without a definite answer, the whole mystery cannot be solved." Hasan obviously had as many mysteries as we did, so he immediately agreed: "Okay, let me tell you the truth, let me ask first—" He paused for a while, then looked at the people in the factory with very suspicious eyes, and said very bluntly: "Waiting for idlers, let's go in and avoid..." I felt very embarrassed. Without the help of the factory personnel, I couldn't open the container at all. How could I tell people to leave? The Gobi Desert, which has been silent for a long time, only protested in unison: "We are not idlers waiting..." Hasan glared at the two of them: "What is that?" The Gobi Desert sneered again in unison: "It may be your savior!" Hasan Ren was taken aback, I don't know what Gobi Desert meant by saying that, but Hasan's reaction was even more peculiar, he seemed unsure whether what the two said was correct, and looked hesitant. I took the opportunity to say, "Without the help of these friends, we wouldn't be able to open this container?" Hassan didn't care about the fact that we opened the container, and he became angry again: "Who told you to open it? You probably can't open it at all!" Gobi said coldly: "It's just something left by some alien. What's the big deal? It doesn't mean that there are no capable people on the earth. Didn't they just open it all at once?" Hassan's angry face disappeared suddenly, and his expression became very depressed. He stayed for a moment and sighed.He waved his hand, indicating that he would no longer pursue the matter of the container being opened, and Gobi pointed at the factory manager and the others: "They are not idlers, of course, this is not a good place for a long talk—" Hassan cried out, "God, find a place with wine." It is of course very easy to find a place with wine. Our group waited and sat down in the living room of Yun Sifeng's residence. , It also became a need for wine, everyone had a glass, and Hasan even had three glasses in a row before repeating: "Surely there will be no idlers near my container?" The factory manager repeatedly assured: "Absolutely not." Hassan sighed again: "I have to be nervous, because I don't know much about what the container is and what it can do. If you press it casually, you will cause a catastrophe!" We all expressed our understanding, and I urged: "Mr. Hassan, you can ask first, you can ask now!" Hassan opened his arms: "I want to know everything!" So, I started to talk—starting from the fact that Boss Bai couldn't find him, so he came to me and Bai Su for help. I said it very simply, but I said everything that should be said. When I said that Boss Bai bought the captain with half of the bet, he sighed: "You can't blame the captain, the temptation is too great!" And when I said that the eighty days were over and he didn't show up, Hassan looked strange and inexplicable. And when I said that we finally opened the container, and there was no one in it, Hasan suddenly jumped up and shouted: "What are you doing!" In a moment of desperation, he yelled another Shanghai dialect, which meant "what are you kidding?" I took a breath: "I'm not 'friending' you, the first time I opened the door, there was no one on the chair, I was disappointed, I closed the door, opened it again, and you were on the chair!" Hasan blinked vigorously, sat down again, and muttered to himself, "Could it be that I pressed the wrong button by mistake?" Everyone was shocked: "Don't you know what happened? Don't you know where you are?" Hasan looked hesitant, hesitant to speak, and I quickly said: "Speak the truth, tell the truth!" Hasan was stunned for a while before he said, "Do you all know how...the big box came here?" I nodded: "It's floating in the sea, did you pick it up?" Hassan agreed and took another swig of wine before telling his story, which we all wanted to know.
