Earth Era

Chapter 37: Oasis Transformation Plan

"What? Four segments were restored?" Hearing what Meng Zhuo said, Zhao Huasheng was also slightly excited.

"Yes." Meng Zhuo nodded, saying, "At the same time, the researchers at the institute also said that all the data recovered from this hard disk has been restored, and it is impossible for them to recover even one word of data from the hard disk. In other words, this hard disk is no longer valuable to human civilization."

"So..." Zhao Huasheng murmured. Facing the red sunset outside the window, Zhao Huasheng picked up the report and began to look at it carefully.

The information was divided into four segments, and the time of the information could not be determined, and the order of the segments could not be determined either.

The first passage was short, just a few lines of dialogue.

"I want to go home; I want to go back to my hometown."

"This is your hometown."

"No, this is not my hometown."

"OK, I'll try to find a way to get you home."

The first passage ended.

The second passage was even shorteronly two lines.

"Who's this little guy?"

"Oh, don't do that anymore; I can't take it."

The third passage was a bit longer.

"Thank you, I'm already home. I'm sorry it took me so long to contact you. Because I was looking for an oasis, and after I found it, there was no way for me to call you with my own strength."

"Oh, you found the oasis? Have you encountered any danger?"

"Yes, it's very dangerous here. There is usually an isolation zone around the oasis, and it took me most of my strength to get through it. But fortunately, I made it alive to the oasis. I'm living well here; the environment here makes me feel very comfortable."

"I'm glad for you. Bless you, my child."

"Thank you for your blessing. But I may still need some time before I can start working. My own strength is too small; I need help. Please rest assured; I will definitely give you what I promised."

"Okay, thank you again."

The fourth paragraph is a bit longer.

"I've received everything you gave me, how have you been doing lately?"

"I'm doing alright. I've gathered a lot of helpers, and together we search for the oasis. Together, we try to break through the barrier beside the oasis. Because I'm the leader, my helpers are all trying their best to protect me."

"I feel relieved now that I know you're alright."

"I have something to tell you. I remember you once told me that survival is the top priority in life."

"Yes, is there a problem?"

"My helpers and I want to put this rule into practice. We plan to start a transformation project of the oasis. We don't want to spend every day running around looking for it and we don't want to see a large number of companions dying every moment."

"I and my helpers are planning to carry out this rule. We are preparing to launch an oasis transformation plan, and we don't want to be exhausted every day searching for the oasis; we don't want companions to die in large numbers at every moment."

"No, you can't do this; you know what it means. Also, do you have the technical and capacity to carry out the oasis transformation plan?"

"I'm sorry, life has to be the first priority. For me and my companions, we must do this. I have already given you enough things, and I think it's enough to exchange for the knowledge I learned from you. As for the technology and capacity required for the oasis transformation plan, that's our business; thank you for your concern. This is our last call, so let's just leave it at that, goodbye."

There are a total of four pieces of information, and this concludes all of them.

"Besides these four pieces of information, Zhao Huasheng has also seen some other observational data regarding the surface of the sun. These observations stated that from recent times, scientists have noticed some abnormal energy burst phenomena in some parts of the sun's surface. Furthermore, these energy bursts are different from solar flares. Attached to these explanations are also some research data from scientists about these energy bursts."

"These bursts are extremely intense, and the energy released is beyond our imagination. We speculate that this is due to the energy stored in the solar inverse fusion layer finally erupting. But according to our statistics, perhaps due to some unknown physical properties of the inverse fusion layer, this energy burst phenomenon seems to only appear in the two poles of the sun, so we need not worry about its effect on us."

After reading the passage, it only took Zhao Huasheng two minutes. Two minutes later, Zhao Huasheng put down the material in his hand, touched the glasses on his nose, and looked out the window.

The cold wind was still blowing outside the window, and the sunlight reflected from the opposite building was still gentle, and even weak. In the distance, there was still the roar of machinery, and airplanes were still flying across the sky.

The great construction project of mankind is still going on, and the Equator City is still maintaining its operation. At this moment, Zhao Huasheng was trying to construct a chain of evidence that he had been unable to construct, and at this moment it was filled with eighty percent of the missing parts.

"I think I probably know what happened. It's just that there are still a few key points that can't be connected. If I can also find these key points, I can give a complete report to the research department about my guess." Zhao Huasheng thought silently.

These are the key points: 1. What was Li Qi's motivation for choosing to be the puzzle solver? 2. What was the purpose of the white paper and what message was it trying to convey? Since up until now, even until Zhao Huasheng was about to solve the puzzle, Zhao Huasheng had not used the white paper. 3. What method did Li Qi use to send the mysterious person home? 4. Why did Li Qi commit suicide after sending the mysterious person home? Why didn't he just explain the situation clearly? Was it simply out of guilt? That doesn't seem to make sense. 5. After knowing the course of events, what was the solution to this incident?

These are still the key questions lingering in Zhao Huasheng's mind. However, these are no longer important, because Zhao Huasheng believes that he has already solved the most difficult puzzle, and in the future, these remaining questions will also be found and answered one by one.

Zhao Huasheng stood up, pushed open the window in front of the desk, and let the cold wind blow on his body. Along with the feeling of coolness, Zhao Hua Sheng also felt a sense of relaxation throughout his body. It was like he had been carrying heavy burden, and now he had finally taken it off.

Zhao Huasheng felt a sense of relief.

Meng Zhuo had disappeared without Zhao Huasheng noticing, and Li Wei had just brought a cup of coffee for him at this time. Zhao Huasheng took the coffee, put it on the table, then turned around and hugged Li Wei. "I think I have almost solved the puzzle your brother left behind."

"You finally solved the puzzle your brother left? You are amazing ... So, what happened to your brother? Why did he die?" Li Wei's body stiffened, and her voice began to tremble.

Zhao Huasheng knew that Li Wei had always had a very deep relationship with Li Qi, and she had never been able to let go of her brother's death. This was an eternal scar hidden in Li Wei's heart.

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you yet, because my ideas are not complete and I still need to confirm some things." Zhao Huasheng said, "After these things are confirmed, my speculation may be correct."

"I know you can do it." Li Wei let go of Zhao Huasheng and looked into his eyes with trust and determination.

"Meng Zhuo." Zhao Huasheng called out, and Meng Zhuo came in and said lightly: "Have you read the material? Any thoughts?"

Zhao Huasheng nodded and said to Meng Zhuo, "I need you to help me verify a few things... First, in the past two years, has Li Qi been involved in or hosted any scientific exploration mission that required the launch of a solar probe? If so, give me all the details of the mission and the status of the probe. Second, if I am not mistaken, isn't there a light intensity detector installed on the Crimson Heart spacecraft that is executing the solar exploration mission? Due to its proximity to the sun, it must be able to get a higher clarity and resolution than the Helios Solar Telescope. So I want the Crimson Heart to immediately aim the light intensity detector at the sun, randomly select an area to record the changes in solar intensity, and the recording period will be... let's say three minutes. After three minutes, switch to another area and continue until I give the next command."

"Ok, I will go and do it now." Seeming to detect Zhao Huasheng's excitement and urgency, Meng Zhuo did not dare to delay and immediately took out the instrument similar to a mobile phone and reported it to the higher-ups. In just a minute, Meng Zhuo said: "The thing you asked for has been taken care of. The information about Li Qi will arrive soon, but it will take some time for the information from the Crimson Heart."

Zhao Huasheng nodded and said, "If my guess is correct, Li Qi should have launched at least two solar probes in the past two years. One of the probes should have crashed onto the sun shortly after arriving, while the other existed for a while but should have been destroyed within a few months to two years before the solar crisis erupted."

"Why do you have such a guess?" Li Wei asked. Zhao Huasheng shook his head and said, "You will know soon. For now, I can't tell you these things yet."
