Chapter 6 Chapter 4 Pocket Watch

I read the second document that Majia sent me twice.From now on, his father's weird and mysterious experience has begun to reveal itself.Obviously, this is a game between countries, and this is a collaboration between China and the United States. Of course, the United States was unwilling to join China at first. What really made the United States compromise may not be what the words describe—our country has paid a huge price.I don't mean to deny the country's efforts, but I think the point of this matter is that without Cao Cang, our country may not be able to reach a secret agreement with the United States even if we pay a higher price.

The intention of the United States is very clear. Cao Cang is the key to their experiment.And Cao Cang is in China, and China can restrain him, so the United States can only agree to China's request. Of course, things are clear now, the most important thing is the "pocket watch" that Cao Cang handed over to Lao Wu. I was completely attracted by the story (experience) of the vest father.I really want to know what kind of experiment the Americans are going to conduct in that sea area. So I immediately looked up on Google Earth what is 20°-40° north latitude and 35°-75° west longitude.When I saw this body of water on Google Earth, I couldn't help laughing, isn't this place the Bermuda Triangle.

All kinds of strange phenomena in the Bermuda Triangle accompanied me through my teenage years.In the late 1980s and mid-1990s, China was experiencing Bermuda fever.Digests from various newspapers, often showing various events related to Bermuda.There are also many magazines that often publish documentary articles about mysterious events in Bermuda. When I was in junior high school, all the blackboard newspapers in my class had written about Bermuda.As long as Bermuda is mentioned, it will remind me of countless bizarre stories of missing planes and ships. There have been many articles speculating on the real cause of the mysterious events in Bermuda.Of course, the most common explanation is the distortion of time and space.There is an article that clearly describes a couple who went boating in the waters of Bermuda and then disappeared. When people saw them again many years later, they could not believe that many years had passed. They thought they were just playing. Just a few hours.

There are also arguments that mention alien abductions.It is said that a large group of people were found in the virgin forest of Brazil. They all claimed to be robbed by aliens in Bermuda and then thrown into the Amazon forest. Of course, there are many scientific explanations.The most objective argument is that the seabed of this water area is rich in methane.When huge tons of methane rise from the sea floor, it will reduce the density of sea water, which can explain why the ship disappeared inexplicably.Based on this theory, some people have further deduced that methane also reduces the density of air, so airplanes are not immune.

After this theory became obsolete, the argument of magnetic interference emerged.This theory can explain the disappearance of ships and planes without any warning, without giving any signal. By the late 1990s, Bermuda fever in China had faded, and attention shifted to Armageddon in 1999 and Y2K in the new millennium. A question suddenly occurred to me. China's Bermuda fever started in the mid-1980s and gradually subsided at the beginning of this century.This time is very strange, because it coincides roughly with the time when Vest's father left home for the first time and the second time.

If this time-strangeness is connected for no reason, I even believe that the incident in Bermuda has some guiding public opinion. I am anxiously waiting for the vest to go online, hoping that he will send me new documents to explain my doubts.Even if it is a false explanation, I believe there will be a better explanation. Although Vest didn't go online to chat with me, he didn't let me down.When I arrived in Shaanxi, five days after arriving at the construction site, he sent me a compressed file.I can't wait to unzip it, open the folder, there are seven or eight files in the folder, and the vest has carefully listed the order.

I open the top sorted document: There is no Wu XX in this world, only Cao Cang.I will never use the appellation "I" again to write the following text.Everything after that is Cao Cang's experience.From now on, I am Cao Cang, and I am not Cao Cang. Among the two, the fat man who walked in front grabbed my hand enthusiastically: "Cao Cang, Cao Cang. I have found you." Cao Cang concealed his dislike for him. "You guys are here." "Yes. Here we are. Our surname is Xia, and he is my younger brother. We finally met." Cao Cang wanted to ask, did we know each other before?But now the situation is unclear, so Cao Cang dare not talk nonsense.

Boss Xia went on to say: "Your family, after going through so many social ups and downs, must discard a lot of memories, but it doesn't matter, as long as you can remember the most important things." Cao Cang said, "Let's go." Boss Xia said: "It's time to go, we finally waited until this day." It went well, the Xia brothers didn't question Cao Cang's identity, not at all.When Cao Cang walked out the door, Cao Cang understood why they were so convinced that they hadn't missed. Because there were many people standing outside the house, the police in white uniforms and the soldiers in green uniforms had already surrounded the house.

"I am an American citizen!" Boss Xia shouted confidently, "I have the right to notify our embassy." The two brothers Cao Cang and Xia were taken away separately. Cao Cang was in the car and didn't say anything.The police escorting Cao Cang looked at Cao Cang with contempt on his face.Cao Cang understood that his current identity was a spy who had been lurking in China for many years. Finally arrived in Beijing.Cao Cang was taken to a fortified building, and then locked alone in a small room without a window.Cao Cang was very anxious. Time is precious now, but it is being wasted every minute.

After being imprisoned for five hours, the door of the room opened, and two guards took Cao Cang into the basement. The basement was small, surrounded by lead panels, and an old man was sitting in it. The old man nodded with a tired look on his face, and the guards retreated. "I have talked with them all day," said the old man, "and I will send you to them tomorrow." "Can you buy some more time?" Cao Cang said, "I have an important situation." The old man said: "No, the other party's attitude is very tough, and we actually have no confidence. Those two people have also temporarily obtained diplomatic immunity."

Cao Cang took out his pocket watch and handed it to the old man, "This is the key." The old man looked at it and pressed the button on the table. Immediately, several people came in and took the pocket watch away. Only Cao Cang and the elderly remained in the basement. The old man looked at Cao Cang with a strange expression on his face. "Please rest assured, I will definitely complete the task." Cao Cang said firmly. "This task is entrusted to you alone... This may be a task that will affect history." The old man suddenly changed the subject, "What do you think of history?" Cao Cang didn't say anything. "Remember, history is always changed by individuals." After speaking, the old man walked out. Cao Cang watched the figure of the old man walk out the door. Although he was only of medium height, his back looked very tall.Cao Cang suddenly became excited, and the adrenaline made him restless. Cao Cang's body trembled, and he even felt frightened. This kind of fear has surpassed the fear of death.There is only one fear beyond death, and that is responsibility.Putting personal destiny before such a huge responsibility, Cao Cang felt that he was too small.And a person who is so insignificant has to face it alone. Cao Cang was thinking wildly when the door opened again, and an old man in his seventies walked in.Looking at his clothes, Cao Cang guessed that he was a scientist. "I won't talk nonsense. I am an overseas student who returned to China at the beginning of liberation. My major is the research of metal materials." The scientist said, "We studied this thing for seven hours." "I've been here for seven hours?" Cao Cang asked in surprise. "Yeah, the time is too short, and our testing equipment is still too backward." The scientist said, "If you give me a few years, I will definitely be able to analyze the composition of this thing." "What the hell is this?" Cao Cang asked. "I found experts who specialize in high-precision machinery, and only studied for an hour. They couldn't open this thing, and they could only guess that it was a guiding instrument. Maybe it was time, maybe it was the direction, maybe even we didn't know positioning method." "I heard that this thing is very radioactive." "We have analyzed that this thing does not belong to any kind of material on our earth. Its elemental properties are very strange. The electron cloud and atomic orbit of this material cannot be explained by existing physical theories. From its nuclear charge Judging from this, this should be an isotope of gold. Of course, this analysis is very superficial." "The chemical stability of gold is extremely high, how could it be radioactive?" "I did not find it radioactive," the scientist said. Cao Cang said, "Could it be that he lied to me?" The scientist immediately took out an instrument, made gestures on Cao Cang's body, and then looked at the index on the instrument. "It's strange." The scientist said, "Your body is indeed radioactive, but it's impossible in theory. With such a strong radiation index, you should be a person who is not far from death. At least your skin will be severely burned, but You don't have this symptom." The scientist hurriedly tested the pocket watch with the instrument again, and after reading the reading, he looked at a loss. "But it's true that the thing itself isn't radioactive in any way." "I'll ask you again, what exactly is it, is it gold?" Cao Cang asked. "Absolutely not." The scientist replied affirmatively, "It just has the same nuclear charge as gold. As I said just now, its specific gravity is about eleven grams per cubic centimeter, and it is lighter than lead." Cao Cang held the pocket watch in his hand and said nothing. "Let me tell you a little more, this may be good news." The scientist said, "He won't be X-rayed, you can hide it." "This news is of no use to me. I believe I took it into action and the Americans will not take it." "I have nothing more to tell you," said the scientist. "This thing is a monster, and he has one man in his mouth." Cao Cang wanted to laugh when he heard the scientist say such irrational words, but he couldn't. Cao Cang put the pocket watch in his hand and observed it carefully. At one moment, Cao Cang suddenly found that the pocket watch had disappeared. Cao Cang then realized that if this thing came into contact with the human body, it would become transparent.Cao Cang wrapped the chain on his pocket watch around his wrist, and sure enough, the chain became transparent after twenty-seven seconds. Cao Cang thought for a while, and carefully hung the pocket watch around his neck. The pocket watch and chain seemed to have some kind of suction with the skin, and every minute was attached to Cao Cang's skin. Twenty-seven seconds later, Cao Cang bowed his head Looking at his chest, the pocket watch disappeared again, but his skin could clearly feel the existence of this object. No wonder the Cao family has been able to pass on this thing for so long. Cao Cang didn't plan to think about the pocket watch, and he didn't have time to think about it. The security personnel took Cao Cang to the gate and drove to Xiushui North Street, Chaoyang District.The car is very ordinary, and there is no accompanying vehicle.This old-fashioned Volga car was neither fast nor slow on the road. We finally arrived near the American embassy.Volga stopped, Cao Cang got out of the car, and walked slowly to the gate of the embassy. Outside the door of the American embassy, ​​there were two brothers from the Xia family and a tall American.The American stretched out his arms and spoke fluent Beijing dialect: "Mr. Cao Cang, you are welcome to join us." Cao Cang didn't go through any formalities in person, and the visa was already processed. The photo on the passport was his face, and there were various other documents, all of which were his own photos.The young man who had leukemia and mysteriously spontaneously combusted has left no trace in this world. In the hotel room, Cao Cang asked the Xia brothers when they were going to America. "You are really in a hurry." The boss of the Xia family said, "We have been stranded in China for three years, and we are not in a hurry to go back." Cao Cang looked at the yellow-skinned, black-haired compatriots in front of him who spoke Chinese, leaving his relationship with China so clean, and felt very uncomfortable. "We still have to wait for someone." The boss of the Xia family said, "The Chinese government still needs to choose five people. I don't know what kind of people they will find. But it doesn't matter. As long as you come, it doesn't matter." "Now, can I ask why you can find me?" Cao Cang said, "but I can't find you?" The boss of the Xia family called his younger brother over and said, "If you want to ask him about this, I won't say more." The younger brother of the Xia family dragged Cao Cang into the room. His elder brother said, "At this point, what are you afraid of? Besides, if the Chinese side still doesn't know his identity, then their intelligence personnel are too scared." Bad." This sentence is in English.Cao Cang could barely understand. Cao Cang and Xia's brother were silent for a while. "The Xia family, like the Cao family, are waiting for the opportunity to go back." The younger brother of the Xia family said, "I will tell you what I know, which is also a secret that our Xia family has always kept." The younger brother of the Xia family gently put his mouth close to Cao Cang's ear, "Only you can lead us back from that place..." The door opened suddenly, and the boss of the Xia family walked in, and said excitedly: "We may be leaving soon, and those five people have already arrived." Cao Cang kept thinking about what Xia's younger brother said.Is this a temptation to him, or is it true.Of course Cao Cang would not rely on Xia's younger brother's assertive tone to believe that what he said was the truth. A spy like the Xia brothers can successfully lurk in the country for such a long time, and can also cover up people's eyes and ears, and secretly investigate the whereabouts of the descendants of the Cao family. It is difficult to distinguish the truth from what this kind of person says. Cao Cang can only rely on the situation he has mastered to analyze.Now, Cao Cang understands why his training content includes the ability to distinguish speed.The first sentence that the instructor who trained him taught him was: "Don't be deceived by your own eyes and ears. The things you see and the sounds you hear are not necessarily real things. It is your own subjective Thoughts cannot be believed. The only thing that can be believed is to analyze them one by one with an objective attitude. Perhaps the most absurd thing is the real existence. And under the ordinary appearance, there are countless undercurrents surging..." Cao Cang is still not sure whether the Xia family brothers know the pocket watch, if they know, then maybe they will know the purpose of the pocket watch.At this point, Cao Cang could do nothing but keep silent. Six people, including Cao Cang, four men and two women, went to the United States in the name of visiting relatives and boarded the plane the next day. From this moment on, Cao Cang knew that behind him, the support of a strong national background would no longer exist.The operation has already started, and now there are only five companions around, and Cao Cang knows nothing about them.Among the three men and two women, except for an old man in his fifties, the other two men were all in their thirties or forties.The two women are very young, one is a few years older than Cao Cang, and the other looks less than twenty years old. These five people are somewhat alienated from Cao Cang.This is easy to explain, because Cao Cang was designated by the United States, and they were carefully selected by the country. In terms of identity, Cao Cang is very different from them. During the long flight, Cao Cang and Xia's brothers did not have any communication.The five people showed a well-trained unity, remained vigilant against external unity, and were very cautious about eating, talking, and so on. The plane landed in a city in the United States, and then, led by the American entourage, transferred at the airport, and the next flight destination was Miami. It was already evening when we arrived in Miami, and six people were arranged on a warship.When the brothers of the Xia family were connecting planes, they didn't follow them on the plane again. Cao Cang and others spent a week on the warship.The six people were arranged in two cabins, and Cao Cang lived with three other men. Now, Cao Cang knew the names of the other five people. Cao Cang called them Lao Yang, Lao Luo, Lao Song respectively, and the two lesbians, and Cao Cang called them Zhou Jie and Xi Mei. Ximei was the first person to talk to Cao Cang, and she called him Ximei if she wanted Cao Cang. Ximei, it sounds like a southern woman's name.For the other four people, Cao Cang couldn't tell where they came from, even from their accents. The U.S. Navy on the warship should have received an order-not to contact the Chinese.As the six walked the deck, they watched curiously from a distance.The eating time of the six people was also staggered from that of the people on the warship.In the empty restaurant, there were only six people sitting, eating in silence. The warship sailed to sea on the seventh day.Judging from the direction, it is heading for the water area that the officer mentioned to Cao Cang. The sea is calm and the sea is as calm as a mirror. After driving for several hours, Cao Cang felt the warship stop and float quietly in the sea.An officer on the warship led all six to the deck. "Which of you can speak English?" the US Navy officer asked in English. "I can." Lao Yang, the oldest gay man, raised his hand and replied in English, "I can speak English." "That's good." The officer quickly said to Lao Yang, "Please tell your companions that a ship will pick you up soon and start your mission." "Isn't it your ship?" "Here's where we'll take you," said the officer. "Look, here they come." Cao Cang tried his best to resist the urge to look at the sea, and waited until Lao Yang said to everyone, "There is a boat to pick us up", and then followed everyone to look at the sea. An ordinary ship on the sea, no more than 500 tons at most, is several miles away from the warship.A small boat was coming towards the warship, approaching the warship, the officer commanded his subordinates, and sent six people including Cao Cang to the small boat. There were two sailors on the small boat, and when Cao Cang and the six put on their life jackets, they turned the small boat and drove towards the ordinary boat quickly. Cao Cang and others boarded the boat twenty minutes later.Judging from the equipment on the ship, this is a scientific research ship.Cao Cang felt a little puzzled: "Why is the United States so stingy, and just got such a small boat to carry out this extraordinary experiment?" There were not many people on board, and there were only twenty or thirty sailors.Six blond-haired and blue-eyed Americans stood opposite Cao Cang and the others. One of them, who was about the same age as Lao Yang, said to Cao Cang and the others, "I hope our cooperation will go well this time." Lao Yang said on behalf of everyone: "This is also the wish of our government." The scientific research ship began to sail eastward. The experiment begins.
