You Say You Believe in Science, But You Fly on a Sword - Chapter 83
Chapter 83: Who Can Say What The Future Holds?
That night, the noise in the entire Base gradually subsided around two or three o’clock.
Su Qin’an said that everyone could sleep in the next day and didn’t need to wake up early.
They hadn’t slept for a month and a half, and they had almost forgotten what sleeping felt like!
The entire Base’s lights went out, like a machine operating at an overload suddenly stopping, collecting all sounds and auras, and sinking into sleep under the night.
As a result, the next morning, besides Su Qin’an, who didn’t need to sleep but had lain down all night, even Li Weimin, who woke up the earliest, only woke up at two in the afternoon.
He was woken up by hunger.
The people in charge of assembly had already arrived, about forty or fifty people. Although there were many people, the discipline was very strict. Su Qin’an had instructed them to keep their voices down, and they really didn’t say a word.
So much so that Li Weimin didn’t hear any noise outside the Room.
Su Qin’an had already given them the Blueprints, and the Materials were also delivered this morning. The assembly team had already started working.
After leaving the House, Li Weimin realized just how loud they were.
But why couldn’t he hear a single sound inside the Room?
Li Weimin looked back at the House, feeling that Su Qin’an might have set up a Barrier or something.
“Up so early? ”
Su Qin’an was sitting downstairs watching the assembly team work in an orderly manner. Hearing the footsteps beside him, he guessed it was Li Weimin: “Didn’t sleep a little longer? I haven’t slept for a month and a half. I thought you guys would all be unconscious for two days! ”
“Sleeping too long is bad for the body. You’ll get more tired the more you sleep. ”
Li Weimin smiled, didn’t move a stool, and sat down on the ground beside Su Qin’an: “Sleep for a while, then get up and do something, and sleep again after a few hours. That’s the Way of Health Preservation. ”
“I didn’t know you understand health preservation. ”
Su Qin’an looked at Li Weimin with interest: “How’s the effect? ”
“Pretty good. I can run and jump, eat and wear. ”
Li Weimin rarely made two jokes, then asked: “Team Leader, have we completed our Quest? ”
Su Qin’an smiled: “If you’re talking about building the Mech, then it’s more than half done. Next, we just need to see what problems they’ll encounter during assembly. ”
In the Laboratory, they could only simulate as much as possible and solve all the problems they could consider. But Mech manufacturing is complex, and it also involves Traditional Chinese Martial Arts, Basic Cultivation World Fist Technique, Human-Machine Neural Interface, etc. To really do it in one go is still unrealistic.
“The next month will be tough on them! ”
Su Qin’an leaned back in his chair leisurely: “If the Efficiency is enough, it’s fine. If the Efficiency isn’t enough…”
Li Weimin looked at Su Qin’an’s strange smile and inexplicably felt a chill down his spine: “You’re not going to make them work 007, are you? ”
“Hey, how are you so smart? You’re worthy of being from the Nine Heavens! ”
“… ”
“Team Leader, have you ever thought about what the future of China will be like? ”
After the silence, Li Weimin asked: “If we want to develop, we need a Blueprint, right? ”
“The future…”
Many people have asked about the future. Especially in middle school, they often ask questions like “China in your eyes ten years from now” or “Write a letter to yourself five years from now”.
But now, Li Weimin’s question about “the future” has no time limit.
It could be five years, ten years, twenty years…
Because Su Qin’an cultivates, his lifespan is very long. He can even think about China a thousand or two thousand years from now.
The longer the time, the more problems to consider.
Especially recently, the Dongting Lake bottom Spatial Node with full technological sense and the mysterious Imperial Seal which made the System go “Beep beep beep~”, and before that, the Ghost Race which also made the System go “Beep beep beep~” and he personally killed a few people.
If these three things are not resolved, the future will always be shrouded in fog, making it unclear how to proceed.
There is also the looming Western Cultivation World, the Eagle Sauce military strike that is no longer a big deal, and various unsolved mysteries of the Universe…
What he couldn’t see through the most was this System.
It’s clearly helping him, but sometimes it makes him so angry it hurts his liver.
Where did it come from? Who created it?
Whose Influence is it? How did it enter his mind?
Most importantly, how strong is this Influence? Why does it have technological products so much more advanced than China and even humanity now? Why does this Influence want to help China?
And what is his role in all this?
Countless mysteries enveloped Su Qin’an, making him feel like a small boat surrounded by countless storms and winds, walking alone in the vast ocean, always in danger of capsizing.
It seems that the light boat has passed ten thousand mountains, but in fact, it’s a backflip after the Titanic!
Thousands of thoughts in his heart, but only a few seconds in the outside world: “The future… who knows? ”
“Shouldn’t you cultivators be able to predict the future? ”
Li Weimin asked: “Why don’t you calculate now and see what the future of China will be like? ”
Su Qin’an looked at Li Weimin speechlessly: “You know I’m a cultivator, not a fortune teller! At my Master’s Cultivation Realm, one can have a slight perception of the future, but I haven’t calculated it. If you want to learn, when the Cultivation School opens, I’ll introduce you and see if I can get you into a Sect that is proficient in Divination? ”
“Cultivation is out of the question. I heard that you cultivators all practice Child’s Body Cultivation. I’m in my thirties and forties. What kind of cultivation can I achieve? ”
Li Weimin smiled: “Besides, I think what you just said is right. Who can tell what the future holds? ”
Su Qin’an’s Cell Phone suddenly rang.
This time it wasn’t Liu Qiming’s call, but a video call from Xie Yingqing.
Although Li Weimin had never been in love, seeing Su Qin’an’s expression, he immediately guessed eight or nine out of ten: “Okay, you two chat first. I’ll go back to sleep. ”
Su Qin’an looked approvingly at Li Weimin, then answered the call.
The Girl was flying on her sword in the air, her three thousand strands of hair dancing in the wind, her beautiful face reflected in Su Qin’an’s eyes, as if carrying countless beauties.
“Why did you suddenly think of calling me on video? ”
Before Xie Yingqing could speak, Su Qin’an said, “Did you miss me? ”
Xie Yingqing nodded lightly: “Yes! How have you been? ”
If Li Weimin were still here, he would definitely shout, “He made us work 007 for a month and a half. ”
“I’m fine, just a little overworked. ”
Su Qin’an’s lips curled up slightly: “But this is something that has to be done, after all, the recent work is relatively urgent, and the research of the Mech is also very important… it’s okay to be busy for a while. ”
“Didn’t you sleep again? ”
Xie Yingqing looked into Su Qin’an’s eyes and suddenly asked, “Don’t you know yourself? When you lie, you never dare to look directly at me! ”
“Ah, this…”
Unexpectedly, Xie Yingqing knew him so well that Su Qin’an couldn’t hide it anymore, so he had to say, “It’s not that long, and I’m a cultivator, so it’s okay to stay up late…”
“You’re still lying! If nothing else, you probably haven’t slept for a month and a half! ”
Xie Yingqing said helplessly: “If you want to stay up late, stay up late, why did you get everyone else involved? They are all Ordinary People who cannot cultivate! ”
Su Qin’an quickly said: “This… I helped them with Spiritual Energy, it’s fine! ”
Is it fine?
It really is fine.
After all, they’re still alive.
It’s just…
They’re all still asleep now.
