After watching Lin Moyanya and others leave, Lin Moyan, Wang Ze, and Binzi drove to the place Wang Ze mentioned.
"Binzi, set up the radio to ensure stable communication and real - time synchronization of location with the headquarters. I estimate the people from the Scientific Research Department will arrive tomorrow night. Today, the three of us will take turns on duty." After all, things were too strange, so he had to be cautious.
"Yes." Binzi replied and then went to move equipment to set up the radio.
Wang Ze was giving a report, and Lin Moyan was setting up a tent—after all, they would stay here at night, and there were many mosquitoes, snakes, and beasts in the mountain at night.
That night.........
"Binzi, you take the first shift, I'll take the second, and Wang Ze, you take the third. Two hours per shift. Bring your guns, understand?" Lin Moyan was afraid of unexpected situations at night, so he simply had everyone on duty with guns.
"Yes." Binzi and Wang Ze replied.
Then Lin Moyan and Wang Ze went to rest.........
"Binzi, everything okay?" When Lin Moyan woke up and handed over the shift to Binzi, he asked.
"Everything's normal."
"Okay, now it's my turn. You go rest." Lin Moyan patted Binzi's shoulder and then walked over to sit next to the place where Yun Qingsheng disappeared.
"Okay, Captain, take care." Binzi yawned and then went to sleep in the tent.
Lin Moyan sat down, pulled out his gun, and kept thinking about today's events.
At this moment, he saw that the place where Yun Qingsheng disappeared seemed a bit distorted. He closed his eyes, shook his head, and then opened them again to confirm he wasn't mistaken.
Then he held his gun and slowly walked over. Wherever he went, he found that area was indeed distorted, showing a water - ripple shape. He walked around it and found only that small area was like this—probably an ellipse one meter wide and two meters high.
"Binzi, Wang Ze, wake up, there's a situation." After checking around, Lin Moyan confirmed what it was and shouted towards the tent.
"Captain, what happened........." Binzi and Wang Ze heard the voice, rushed out of the tent, and subconsciously asked—especially Wang Ze, whose eyes widened.
"This is it, this is it. When I saw Yun Qingsheng disappear, I saw this too. I closed my eyes and opened them again, and he was gone. I thought I was seeing things and didn't care." Wang Ze looked at this and showed an excited expression.
Lin Moyan frowned after hearing this and then made a decision.
"You all stay here. Never get close to this thing. Stay away from it." After saying this, he went into the tent. After more than ten minutes, he came out. When Wang Ze and Binzi saw his appearance, they looked incredulous.
"Binzi, strengthen the radio signal, ensure real - time communication with the headquarters, and give this letter to my sister." Lin Moyan said as he handed a letter to Binzi. His family only had him and his sister left—this was his only concern.
At this moment, he was fully armed—wearing an all - black combat uniform, with several rifle magazines on his chest, a pistol on his thigh, and several grenades on his waist. He also carried a radio detector, which could collect data. As long as the radio was working, the data could be transmitted in real - time.
"Captain, you can't go." Binzi and Wang Ze could see Lin Moyan's intention and wanted to stop him—everything inside was unknown. What if it was a tunnel to another planet? Wouldn't he be going to his death?
"I must go. It's not easy for this thing to appear again. We must know what we're facing. This isn't about my personal safety; it's about our country and the whole world." Lin Moyan's attitude was extremely firm. He was afraid but had to go. Binzi was a technician, and strictly speaking, Wang Ze wasn't under his command—Wang Ze wasn't a combatant. Only he was the most suitable.
As he said, it wasn't about him personally. Some things had to be done, and someone had to do them.
"Captain..." At this moment, Binzi still tried to stop Lin Moyan.
"Soldier, carry out your order." Lin Moyan suddenly shouted, his tone extremely stern.
"Yes, Captain." Binzi immediately stood at attention, saluted Lin Moyan, and replied with teary eyes.
"Binzi, remember what I said. No matter what happens to me inside, don't act rashly. Focus on collecting data." Lin Moyan patted Binzi's shoulder and instructed.
"Understood. Testing the radio." Binzi nodded, walked to the radio, and tested Lin Moyan's radio connection.
"Radio is normal, detector is normal. Good luck, Captain." Binzi checked the transmission of both devices and said.
"Wish me luck." With that, Lin Moyan walked in.
When Binzi saw Lin Moyan completely disappear, he picked up the radio and shouted, "Captain, Captain, do you copy?"
"I copy. Over." Lin Moyan's voice came from the radio.
"Captain, what's the situation inside? Over."
"Inside......there......is......buzz, buzz, buzz..." After Lin Moyan vaguely said a few words, the communication was cut off, leaving only the noise of radio electromagnetic interference.
Binzi suddenly noticed that the elliptical shape like a water ripple was getting smaller. He immediately took off his earpiece and was about to rush over. But Wang Ze, who was standing next to him, hugged him, not letting him go. During their struggle, the ellipse had disappeared, as if it had never existed.
"Captain, ah!!!" Binzi walked to the place where Lin Moyan disappeared, knelt down, and cried.
He and Lin Moyan were very good friends, having known each other since childhood. Even after joining the army—he in the information department and the Lin siblings in the combat department—they still kept in touch. Later, when this unit was formed, he was selected, and 没想到 the Lin siblings were also in it.
This was their first mission, and an accident happened. He didn't know how to face Lin Moyanya.
Wang Ze also sat aside, silent.
They didn't sleep all night, waiting until the next afternoon when the people from the headquarters arrived. Binzi seemed to grasp a life - saving straw.
"Comrade, please, please find a way to rescue the Captain." Binzi directly grabbed the leader of the group and was about to kneel.
"Don't get excited. We'll find a way for Captain Lin." The man he grabbed quickly helped him up, not letting him kneel. The man was very thin but tall, giving a fragile impression, looking about forty or fifty years old.
"You go rest first. We'll make a plan right away." As he spoke, he gave a look to the two accompanying medical staff. The two medical staff understood and came forward to help Binzi away.
The man looked very serious. On the way, they had heard that after Lin Moyan entered with equipment last night, the tunnel immediately closed. The radio was also cut off, and no more messages were received. Lin Moyan's radio had been in a state of interference.
The data from the detector was also a mess, impossible to interpret.
"Xiao Su, what do you think?" The man asked the woman standing next to him.
The woman called Xiao Su wasn't very beautiful, wearing large round glasses, exuding a mature and 知性 aura. Her name was Su Yao, an astronomer with high talent. At thirty, she was the deputy director of the Scientific Research Department, specializing in space research.
"Professor Chen, my personal guess is a fragment of dimensional space." Su Yao stated her guess.
The Professor Chen she called was Chen Han, the person in charge of their scientific research department, nearly fifty years old, and also Su Yao's teacher.
"Hmmm, similar to my inference. But we still need to wait for the test data." Chen Han nodded.
By the time the equipment was set up, it was already night.
But Su Yao and her team didn't rest. As soon as the equipment was set up, she started collecting data.
After continuously collecting data for over an hour, Su Yao frowned.
"Professor Chen, look." Su Yao handed all the collected data to Chen Han.
When Chen Han saw the data, he also frowned. If there really was a fragment of multi - dimensional space, the atomic activity here would be abnormal. But the current data showed everything was normal—too normal.
This put them in a dilemma—multi - dimensional universes only existed in theory.
When they heard there was a tunnel here, they were very excited. Previously, from Binzi's description, they thought this was the legendary fragment of four - dimensional space.
Theoretically, four - dimensional space is a dynamic space because its time is substantial. Of course, this doesn't mean four - dimensional space is time—this is a misunderstanding.
In physics, to describe a changing event, the number of parameters needed is called dimensions. For example, three - dimensional space is composed of countless surfaces, with length, width, and height.
Four - dimensional space adds time to this basis. Of course, it can't transcend time—only stretch or compress it. For example, one minute inside could be ten minutes outside, or ten minutes inside could be one minute outside.
Four - dimensional space has always only existed in theory and has never been discovered. When they heard about it, they thought they had found the "gate" to four - dimensional space.
Now there were two possibilities—either their equipment was insufficient to detect the abnormality, or there really was no abnormality. No one believed the latter.
Everyone leaned towards the former. After all, their industrial level was just starting, and their scientific exploration was also in its infancy.
Many of their devices were very backward. Even though the country allocated all high - end scientific and technological resources to them, their research institute didn't have several decent computers.
Technology limited them—foreign devices were much more advanced, but this was top - secret and couldn't be known by other countries.
Moreover, their research institute still had a spaceship. The technology inside was enough to drive the world crazy. If this was exposed, they might be violently attacked by the whole world.
Not to mention the electronic technology inside the spaceship—the manufacturing materials of the spaceship alone were enough to drive them crazy. The glass on the spaceship was dozens of times harder than the hardest metal they could currently produce.
The principle of "A man is guilty of having a treasure" was well - known. So they couldn't seek foreign aid.
In the next few days, they repeatedly tested here, but the results were the same. They had to give up.
Finally, they applied to the organization to build a research institute here, sealing off the area until they had enough technology to open it.
The final approval was granted. A small research institute was built here, with the "gate" location at the center, and people were sent to guard it 24 hours a day.
The name of this research institute was ——Space!!!
