Chapter 1335: You’re Beautiful So Whatever You Say
Huo Shaoheng held the steering wheel and nodded calmly. “surprised? Even I didn’t expect this at all. ”
Gu Nianzhi’s heart pounded.
Her hands trembled just like Huo Shaoheng’s had.
She flipped through all the data again, but she couldn’t fathom them.
In this regard, she was worse than Huo Shaoheng. She had no idea what those data were for.
From Gu Xiangwen’s simple message, she could only deduce that these were the high-energy magnetic field data that Gu Xiangwen had measured.
” … the United States, Japan, and Germany are all carrying out secret research, so our country really can’t fall behind.”
Huo Shaoheng nodded. “Our country missed out on the first and second industrial revolutions, and the third industrial revolution left us in the rear. The high-energy magnetic field opened the door to the fourth industrial revolution.”
This new energy source was several orders of magnitude higher than the so-called renewable and environmentally friendly energy source.
Of course, at the military level, it dealt with the creation of new types of weapons.
It was easy to imagine how shocked the Huaxia Empire’s military had been by Gu Xiangwen’s letter.
Gu Nianzhi listened to Huo Shaoheng’s story in silence. She was deep in thought as her fingers lovingly caressed her father’s signature.
This handwriting was almost identical to the one on her childhood photo.
When she was rescued from the car by Huo Shaoheng, she had been carrying a small backpack on her back. Other than the blueprints for the plane’s engine, there was also a single photo with her name and date of birth.
When she had been so traumatized that she had lost her memory, the Special Operations forces called her “Gu Nianzhi” based on the photo, and used it to confirm her birthday.
“But, my father… why would he be in contact with Uncle Huo?” Gu Nianzhi asked in puzzlement. “How did they meet?”
Huo Shaoheng looked at the road ahead as he said nonchalantly, ” … My uncle used to do the same job as me. However, there was no special operations forces at that time. It was a special operations team directly under the military’s jurisdiction.”
Gu Nianzhi still didn’t understand. “So they knew each other? My father said that he had never returned to Huaxia Empire… how did he know Uncle Huo’s identity?”
Huo Shaoheng wasn’t too sure about this aspect either, but he knew that it was probably Huo Guanyuan’s work that had caught Gu Xiangwen’s attention.
In other words, Gu Xiangwen had been paying attention to the technological and military developments of the Huaxia Empire.
After all, most overseas Chinese wanted a strong and prosperous motherland (with the exception of a few “foreign dogs”).
“I’m afraid only my uncle and your father knew about this.” Huo Shaoheng turned to look at Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi happened to look up at him as well.
Their eyes met, and they both thought of the same thing: perhaps their encounter wasn’t a coincidence.
Was that accident designed by Gu Xiangwen?
However, Huo Guanyuan had been dead for ten years by that time.
Gu Xiangwen hadn’t contacted anyone in the Huaxia Empire’s military.
Could it be that he only contacted Huo Guanyuan?
The two of them didn’t speak anymore. They drove all the way to Song Jinning’s Insitute of High Energy Physics.
..
“Huh? What brings you two busy people here today?”
Song Jinning, dressed in a white lab coat, opened the door for them with a smile and invited them in.
This was Song Jinning’s office. Outside was a small sitting room with two couches in the middle.
After Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng sat down, Huo Shaoheng placed the letter that Xie Shenxing had brought in front of Song Jinning.
Gu Nianzhi thought about it and placed the document bag in front of Song Jinning.
“What’s this?” Song Jinning was astonished. “My name is written on it?”
However, upon closer inspection, the handwriting looked familiar.
She frowned slightly and caressed the yellowed envelope, but didn’t open it.
” … Where did you get this letter from?” Song Jinning’s voice lowered. “If I’m not mistaken, this is your uncle’s handwriting.”
Song Jinning found out about Huo Guanyuan’s feelings for her from the lawsuit against Bai Jinyi at the beginning of last year.
She didn’t start feeling love for him, but she was still grateful for Huo Guanyuan’s pure and unadulterated love for her.
Not only was she grateful for his deep love, but he was also considerate towards her and didn’t cause her any trouble. She was also grateful for him saving her life seventeen years ago.
There was also an inexplicable sense of awkwardness.
After all, Huo Guanyuan was her ex-husband’s brother.
Huo Shaoheng looked down at the document bag on the coffee table and calmly said, ” … Uncle rented a safe deposit box in my name at a Swiss bank 17 years ago. These two things came from that safe deposit box.”
Then he added, “In that safe deposit box, there is a copy of Uncle’s will. Both of them were brought over by Granduncle this time.”
Song Jinning was slightly surprised. “Your Granduncle is back in the country?”
“Yes, he just came back two days ago.” Huo Shaoheng nodded and continued, “Grandfather just fell ill. He hasn’t woken up yet after undergoing emergency operation at the hospital.”
Song Jinning: ” … ”
” … it all happened after your Granduncle came back? ” Song Jinning smiled and shook her head. “He’s still as vengeful and intolerant as ever.”
Song Jinning immediately realized that Huo Xuenong’s admission to the hospital and Xie Shenxing returning to the country with Huo Guanyuan’s will were inextricably connected.
When Gu Nianzhi heard Song Jinning’s witty remark, she couldn’t help covering her mouth with a smile, then said, “Granduncle is really impressive. Grandfather Huo kept saying that he lost Uncle Huo’s will and that it was gone, but when Granduncle took out a copy of the will in the end, Grandfather Huo almost fainted.”
“The safe from 17 years ago… ” Song Jinning shook her head with a smile and asked carefully, “This is indeed something that your uncle would do. By the way, what is the exact date? Do you know?”
Huo Shaoheng thought about it for a moment. “There is a receipt for the rental of the safe in the open box keepsake. The date is probably… ”
Huo Shaoheng mentioned a date from 17 years ago.
Song Jinning fell silent for a long time before she said, ” … That was exactly one month before we officially started the experiment.”
One month later, they started the experiment again. Something went wrong and a major accident occurred.
A huge explosion not only killed almost all the participants in the experiment, but also destroyed the original data that was used as a reference.
That was because the original data had been stored in the basement of the experimental building.
At that time, the concept of cloud storage hadn’t yet been realized.
Because of the need for security, they hadn’t stored any original data anywhere else.
Also because of this, Bai Jinyi took advantage of the fact that almost all the main participants in the experiment had died to seize control over Insitute of High Energy Physics in hopes of restarting the experiment on her own.
However, the results were predictable. After 17 years, Bai Jinyi’s experiment hadn’t made any progress until she was sent to prison by Gu Nianzhi last year.
“If the accident at that time hadn’t destroyed the original data, it would have been much easier for us to restart the experiment now.” Song Jinning ran her hand through her hair and said regretfully, “At that time, my father and your uncle were the ones leading the experiment. They were the ones who mediated everything. Even I was only following orders.”
Gu Nianzhi’s heart skipped a beat. She opened the file and took out the data. There was only a short message from Gu Xiangwen on the last page. She placed the rest of the A4 paper in front of Song Jinning. “Ms. Song, take a look at this. Does it ring a bell?”
Song Jinning glanced at Gu Nianzhi and lowered her head to pick up the small stack of A4 paper. Her expression froze after just one glance.
She stood up from the sofa and said excitedly, “… Where did you get all this data?! How did you get all this raw data?!”
“This is the raw data you used for your experiment?!” Gu Nianzhi was pleasantly surprised and couldn’t help secretly giving herself a thumbs up.
She had guessed correctly!
The raw data Song Jinning and the others had relied on for their experiment 17 years ago had indeed been provided by her father, Gu Xiangwen!
Song Jinning nodded repeatedly. “Although I don’t remember the specific data values, I still have an impression of the approximate data range. This data should be the original data that I saw that year. But, how did you get it?”
She remembered that her father had hidden the original data, like it was a treasure, in the constant temperature dry safe in the basement of the experimental building. He couldn’t even make a copy. When he wanted to see it, he had to go through layers of security and go to the basement to read the data himself.
All they could bring up were the derived values from the original data.
Song Jinning had spent countless days and nights in the basement calculating and deducing the original data.
Because the magnetic field data was closely related to the natural environment, even the slightest change in the natural environment would cause a huge change in the magnetic field data.
Therefore, the original data could only provide them with a set of reference objects. They needed to find the magnetic field values that belonged to their country’s environment based on this set of reference objects.
Gu Nianzhi said, “If this is really the original set of data that you guys had, I think it should be the original. What you guys used was actually a photocopy.”
Song Jinning looked up at Gu Nianzhi, ” … You mean, this is the real original set?”
Huo Shaoheng nodded, “The original set of data that you saw was attached to the letter that Nianzhi’s father, Gu Xiangwen, had written to uncle back then.”
Gu Nianzhi quickly took out the last page of the data and placed it in front of Song Jinning. “Ms. Song, take a look.”
Song Jinning quickly finished reading Gu Xiangwen’s message and was moved beyond words. ” … Is this really Gu Xiangwen’s handwriting?! I never thought I’d have the honor of seeing the real work of this great scientist with my own eyes!”
Gu Nianzhi: ” … ”
It seemed too exaggerated..
She smiled sheepishly and said, “Miss Song, it’s good that I was able to help you.”
“Of course.” Song Jinning could barely wait. “Nianzhi, can I make a copy of these data? To be honest with you, ever since nature’s high-energy magnetic field appeared in the Sea of Japan and the magnetic field observation in Tunguska, Siberia, Russia, I’ve had a lot of new ideas about this experiment. But as you know, this kind of experiment is very dangerous.”
“Without detailed parameter verification, I wouldn’t dare to do it rashly. Now that I have the original set of data, my verification process will be even more complete!”
She understood every sentence separately, but when they were put together, she couldn’t understand a single word.
No choice but to look at Song Jinning with a bewildered smile, Gu Nianzhi nodded continuously. “Yes, yes, yes… yes, yes, yes… you’re beautiful, so whatever you say! ”
Song Jinning: ” … ”
Huo Shaoheng was amused, and he rubbed Gu Nianzhi’s head. “Don’t mess around. We’re talking about official affairs.”
