Chapter 140: This University Student Is Weird
The next day.
Due to the “earthquake” in Zhu Hua District, earthquake experts, geologists, and other relevant researchers immediately rushed to the scene to begin testing.
According to the data a.n.a.lysis, the source of the tremors was on the west side of the Zhu Hua District.
It was a mountainous region.
The experts came here and found the mountain split into two.
After repeated testing, the cause of the earthquake was not a crustal fracture or collision. It was a sudden eruption of some powerful energy, causing a phenomenon similar to an earthquake.
But they didn’t know what kind of energy explosion could cause an earthquake. It couldn’t be nuclear weapons.
Nuclear weapons could not cause an earthquake of this magnitude.
And, the radiation levels at the scene were normal, and so were the radioactive values.
Therefore, the ‘earthquake’ this time was very confusing.
The second thing was even more shocking and strange.
In the Zhu Hua District, after the noises and the so-called earthquake, a few people strangely appeared in another place.
This situation was similar to teleportation in science fiction novels and movies.
This supernatural phenomenon quickly attracted a lot of attention.
Cheng’an was the capital of culture, and there were many universities here. Naturally, there was no lack of scientific research inst.i.tutes.
On the contrary, the scientific inst.i.tutes in the area were high ranking in the country.
Before the report was released, the various research inst.i.tutes immediately sent experienced researchers to question those people and even conducted physical examinations for them.
Sun Lingxiao and Fu Xuemei were undergoing scientific observation at the Cheng’an Number One Natural Science Research Inst.i.tute.
There were many others who came with them. They were all people who had experienced the supernatural incident last night.
“Xiaoxiao, if anyone asks about your relations.h.i.+p with me, you must not say that I’m your grandmother.”
Fu Xuemei suddenly thought of something.
Because of her cultivation, she looked like a young woman. Although her explanation to the outside world was that it was because of some kind of high-tech medical cosmetology technology, it would only work with her relatives and friends. The people in the research inst.i.tute certainly couldn’t be fooled.
Hence, she needed to communicate with Sun Lingxiao beforehand.
“Grandma, why?” Sun Lingxiao stared blankly at Fu Xuemei, expressing her confusion.
Fu Xuemei didn’t want to explain too much either. “Xiaoxiao, don’t worry about it. For now, just tell others that I’m your older cousin.”
“Ah!” Sun Lingxiao lowered her head and poked her fingers together. She whispered, “Is… is this appropriate?”
“It’s okay. Just do as Grandma says.” Fu Xuemei patted Sun Lingxiao’s head.
“O… okay!” Sun Lingxiao agreed timidly.
Not long after, the research inst.i.tute staff called them over.
“Sun Lingxiao!” A staff member wearing a white protective suit came to Sun Lingxiao with a record book.
“Grand… Cousin!” Sun Lingxiao looked at Fu Xuemei with uneasiness in her gaze.
Fu Xuemei smiled. “It’ll be fine. Don’t worry and go!”
“Mm, mm!”
Then, Sun Lingxiao followed the staff member to a sealed laboratory.
In the laboratory, a gla.s.s wall divided it into two areas, the testing area and the observation area.
In the observation area, more than ten researchers in protective suits held small notebooks and talked to each other.
The staff member led Sun Lingxiao into the testing area.
There was a simple changing room set up using a curtain.
Sun Lingxiao changed into a special set of clothes in the changing room.
At this moment, she was feeling very uneasy. She didn’t know what these people were going to do to her.
In the middle of the night yesterday, everyone, including Sun Lingxiao, had been a.s.signed to a special accommodation by the relevant departments.
The staff had mentioned some arrangements for the next day and told them to stay calm. They would be fine.
Even so, Sun Lingxiao was still very afraid.
The staff said, “Let me confirm your ident.i.ty first.”
“Sun Lingxiao, 19 years old, freshman at Cheng’an Business University.”
“Mm!” Sun Lingxiao nodded.
Then, the staff brought Sun Lingxiao to a long circular instrument.
“Please lie down.” The staff pointed at the workbench on the instrument panel.
Sun Lingxiao glanced at the panel and felt a little resistant.
The staff said calmly, “It’s alright. The others before you all got on like this. Nothing will happen. Don’t be afraid.”
Sun Lingxiao hesitated for a while before deciding to get on.
The workstation was cold, and Sun Lingxiao felt like she was lying on a chilling piece of ice.
Sun Ling was afraid. She had gooseb.u.mps all over her body, and she clenched her fists tightly, not daring to open her eyes.
At this moment, the staff’s voice sounded again.
“Don’t be nervous. It will be over soon.”
“Yes… Yes!” Sun Lingxiao gritted her teeth and nodded.
After a while, the staff left.
The testing area instantly became exceptionally quiet.
Sun Lingxiao, lying on the work table, could not help but feel his heart beating faster and her hands clenched even tighter.
Very soon, the long circular instrument moved.
The device made a very soft sound, just a slight buzzing vibration.
When the apparatus was activated, the panel emitted a pure white light. Sun Lingxiao felt a warmth on her back, and her nervousness instantly eased.
At this moment, in the observation area, the researchers were focused on the screen, especially on the numbers on it.
“Which one is this?” an older researcher asked.
“Teacher, this should be number 32. She’s a student from the Zhu Hua District’s university town.”
The senior researcher stared at the screen and frowned. “This university student is weird.”
The other researchers seemed surprised.
They carefully observed the numbers on the screen and immediately made a discovery.
The older researcher said,
“Look at the peak of the gravitational factor. There is only a difference of 5 to 10 percentage points between the fluctuations every ten seconds. Isn’t that close?”
“You should know that the so-called teleportation is actually folding s.p.a.ce, from a line to a point.
“Achieving the necessary conditions to fold s.p.a.ce is an extremely powerful gravitational force.
“But the students that came in earlier had large differences between the peaks of their gravitational factor.
“This student’s values are quite stable as if she hasn’t been affected. Or rather, her body can bear the gravitational factor.
“Recently, the higher-ups have been selecting people with such physiques. If this student really has such physiques, then…”
…
A few minutes later, the equipment in the testing area slowly stopped.
After recording the relevant values, the researcher instructed the staff to bring Sun Lingxiao down.
The staff member entered the testing area and patted Sun Lingxiao, who was on the panel.
“You can come down now.”
Upon hearing the staff member’s voice, Sun Lingxiao opened her eyes.
After leaving the laboratory and breathing in the air outside, Sun Lingxiao finally relaxed.
“Xiaoxiao!” Seeing that Sun Lingxiao had returned, Fu Xuemei beamed with joy and asked in concern, “They didn’t do anything to you, did they?”
Sun Lingxiao nodded. She wanted to describe the process, but the staff quickly called Fu Xuemei’s name.
Fu Xuemei stood up and smiled. “Xiaoxiao, I’ll be right back.”
“Mm.”
Then, Fu Xuemei was led by the staff to the laboratory.
At the same time.
Deep underground, in a pitch-black s.p.a.ce.
After Qin Chuan used his full strength, he saw that the barrier was completely undamaged. He had to give up for now and recover his exhausted True Qi.
After a few hours, his True Qi recovered, and he looked at the colorful crystal in front of him again.
At this moment, he heard a whistling sound in the silent s.p.a.ce.
