Looking at the expressions of each person, it can be seen that as soon as they saw the beauty, they immediately thought that what they saw was a real person, that's why they were able to see such a perfect image. The rock, for at least five minutes at least, looks like a stone statue, motionless, for a considerable amount of time. Hong Ling's reaction was the most peculiar among all, she kept shaking her head and kept saying: Impossible!impossible! I couldn't help but ask her: What's impossible? Hong Ling kept shaking her head: If you knew the situation of our search, you would think it was impossible.

Bai Su said: You must first let people know what you are searching for! Hong Ling changed her head from shaking her head to nodding, and began to describe how she and Rock, and Gao Xing and her people, used the most advanced equipment and the most primitive methods to search the island. After she finished speaking, indeed, I also thought it was impossible. Because in their search process, let alone many people in one place, even if there is only one person, they must be found!So Hong Ling is ready to give up, thinking that there is no such place at all! Hong Ling also had a dispute with the rock because of this, Gao Xing was completely on Hong Ling's side, thinking that there was no such place at all.

Hong Ling later told me in detail what they had searched. After listening to it, I also concluded that there was no way that place existed, because all moving objects could be displayed through the observation and search of the ground by artificial satellites. It is even possible to distinguish the nature of moving objects, whether they are living or non-living. According to the rock, there are many people in that place, and the sky, stars, moon, and sun can be seen from that place, and it is absolutely impossible to escape the tracking of artificial satellites, so the only conclusion is that there is no such place at all.

However, at this time, the beauty that could be seen proved the existence of that place. The thing is so strange that none of us can produce any proof that the beauty has anything to do with that place, yet none of us doubts that the beauty came from that place. All of us have a common intuition without reason, but we all think so, even Hong Ling and Gao Xing think so. So that place has changed from impossible to exist to definitely exist.The situation is not only very strange, but also very funny, because it is not even a real person who changes our perception, but only a visible image!

Judging from this situation, I can only explain one point: the image of the beautiful woman causes shocking and abnormal activities in our brains, which makes people have new ideas, although these new ideas are very irrational and groundless. But we are still willing to move forward with this new idea. Later, Bai Su analyzed our way of thinking at that time, and believed that it was because the image of the beauty was so touching, it touched the emotional part of all of our brains, and the thoughts produced were completely out of rational control, and the situation was like falling Men and women who fall in love are the same.

At that time, Gao Xing apologized to Yan Yan, Hong Ling came to Yan Yan and said, "I'm sorry, let's continue to look for it." On the contrary, Yan Yan looked bitter and said, "How do I find it?"All available methods have been used. Hong Ling's eyebrows were knotted, and she didn't answer right away. She first went to the device on the wall, looked at the beauty for a while, then turned around, walked aimlessly, and then stopped in front of an oil lamp again, motionless. The light was shining and reflected on her face, making it even more obvious that she was thinking hard, and everyone was silent. Everyone knew that among all the people here, Hong Ling had the most knowledge stored in her brain, so the result of her thinking should be Most helpful for how things are going.

After a few minutes, Hong Ling let out a long breath, turned around, and said: "Find out this beauty first, and then ask her, she should know where her hometown is, and let her lead the way to that place." go! The result of Hong Ling's thinking turned out to be like this! All of a sudden everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing how to react, especially what Hong Ling said was very serious and definitely not a joke, which made us even more dumbfounded.Hong Ling saw our reaction, and she felt that what she said raised another problem that could not be solved.

It is the most common sense of logic that one unsolvable problem cannot be used to solve another unsolvable problem, and Hong Ling certainly does not understand it. She took a breath and said loudly: Finding her is easier than finding that place, because we can at least see her, she exists within our sight, and that place only exists in the rock's memory ! Hong Ling's further explanation sounds plausible, but it doesn't actually have any effect, she always stays where she is, just like when they didn't come, of course she wants to find this visible beauty. See how nonsense decides, and nonsense still can't decide.

The Gobi desert will be looking for a situation that will inevitably destroy the existing installation at the beginning, repeating itself. For others, it is regrettable that they will never see that beauty again, but for Hu Hua, it is equivalent to losing the meaning of life. Everyone knows this very clearly, so they all leave the decision to In the hands of nonsense. Hu Hua covered his head with his hands and squatted in the corner of the room. No one wanted to hinder his thinking. Bai Su made a gesture to signal everyone to leave. When we left the room, everyone felt relieved. Rock and Gao Xing were the happiest. They originally had the feeling of grandparents, but it was because of Gao Xing's experience that he didn't believe in Rock that they often had conflicts. , forming an odd relationship between them.Now that this knot has been untied, Yan Yan said it well: Even if I can't find that place, now at least it proves that I have indeed had such an experience!

Of course I want to know Bai Su's opinion, Bai Su and Hong Ling have the same opinion, she said: "Finding out the beauty that can be seen is nothing, but that is the only starting point." I looked at Hong Ling: Did you really try your best to find that place? Hong Ling looked aggrieved, and it was at this time that she told us about their search experience, and everyone who heard it agreed that she had indeed tried her best. I know that, apart from the conclusion that that place doesn't exist at all, there must be another factor that we don't know or think about, and that's why we can't discover that place.This factor may be very simple, but it must be a blind spot in the thinking process, which is why the current situation has been formed.

What exactly is this blind spot? Bai Su thought the same as me. When I thought of this, we looked at each other, and she shook her head at me, expressing that she could not break through this blind spot at this time. Rock was beside Bai Su and me, he hesitated to speak several times.I understood what he was thinking, so I said to him: Although there is no basis, we all believe that what we see is from a real person. Rock smiled wryly, his thoughts turned out to be deeper, he said: Of course the first images are from real people, but what we see is not necessarily the first images! For a moment I didn't understand what he said, Rock added: For example, the image we see now comes from a photo, and the photo is of course from a real person. Rock's worry is that even if we can find the source of the image we can see now, it does not mean finding the real person. We have also thought about this point, and I believe that at this time, Hu Hua, who was alone in that room considering whether to conduct a search, is also thinking about this issue. For Hu Hua, the problem is quite serious, because the images that can be seen now may be lost , but got nothing. Yan still had a further worry, he said: Even if the real person is found and the real person can be revived Here I am correcting his words: no one can revive her, what can be done is to create a copy of her, and the copy may have her original thoughts, which cannot be regarded as resurrection. Rock waved his hand: the same. What I mean is: even if she lives, she may not be able to find that place! Gao Xing said aside: How could it be?She is from there! Rock smiled wryly: I also came from that place, did I find that place? Hearing the conversation between Rock and Gao Xing, Bai Su and I naturally looked at Hong Ling, because it was Hong Ling who first proposed to find that place through that beauty. Hong Ling reacted immediately, she said: Mr. Rock, you are different from her, you don’t know anything about that place, but she is from that place. We still can’t find that place after searching like this, there must be one of us Unexpected key, she may give us the answer. What Hong Ling said was exactly what Bai Su and I were thinking just now, so Bai Su and I immediately agreed. Although everything is just our imagination, which may be extremely far away from the reality, this assumption also gave Yan Yan hope, Yan Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and murmured: I hope so! And not far from us, only heard the tycoon shout loudly: Great!Very good! Tycoon, Tao Qiquan, Zhu Jin, Shui Hong and the others looked very happy, but the Gobi Desert showed disapproval, and obviously disdain to be with them, leaving them with strong body language to express their dissatisfaction and walking towards us. As they walked, they said to us angrily: "It's too much!"You actually want to take the whole poem back to your own home, typical nouveau riche! It turned out that it was Zhu Jin who proposed to disassemble the wildly written "Will Enter the Wine" and put it in her home as a decoration. There are indeed many vulgar wretches who like arty and elegant decorations, so the tycoon first applauded . Gobi Desert's strong reaction made the tycoon very unhappy. Of course Gobi Desert would not be afraid of offending the tycoon, so he raised his head, looking down on the tycoon. I just thought it was funny when I saw this situation, Bai Su smiled and said: "It's a good idea, I don't know if the owner of the big house will agree?" The tycoon is very clever, knowing that Bai Su's words are giving him a step down, so he immediately slapped him: "It's just talking, why take it seriously!" Gobi Desert snorted and walked to the door of the room, just at this moment, Nonsense came out of the room.Seeing the nonsense look on his face, his consideration has already come to fruition. Sure enough, when Nonsense saw the Gobi Desert, he immediately waved his hand vigorously and said loudly: Please do it, no matter what the consequences will be if you find her, you must do it! The Gobi Desert responded: Good!Do it now!Please, as the owner of the house, shill the idlers to leave, so as not to spoil our work mood! Bai Su and I held back our laughter, talking nonsense for no reason, not knowing what the Gobi Desert meant by saying that. The tycoon laughed: It seems that we are not welcome, let's go! Zhu Jin and Shui Hong were quite reluctant to give up, and they were dragged away by the tycoon and Tao Qiquan. Yan Yan didn't know what to do, so I said to him: "If there is nothing for you, you can stay during the whole search." The Gobi Desert yelled that this was the opening act when they were about to start a major project, and they started working immediately. The process of searching in the Gobi Desert was actually very boring, just like the documentaries of the archaeological work I saw, very careful and very slow, Hong Lingyan and Gao Xing, as their assistants, Bai Su and I also helped at the beginning, but When they carved those ebony into characters and it took more than an hour to remove each one, Bai Su and I didn't stay any longer. I will try my best to simplify the description of the progress of the project. I started going to the big house every day, and then I went the next day, and then I told Hong Ling that if there are any discoveries or changes, just notify me. It was half a month after Hong Ling notified me every time, she told me: I can see that the image has disappeared! I rushed to the big house immediately, and I was very surprised on the way, because the Gobi Desert has said more than once that once the search work starts, the image of the beauty may disappear if there is a slight change. Why did this look happen after half a month? Phenomenon just happened? After entering the big room and entering the room, I finally understood the reason. The reason was the work in the Gobi Desert, which was done with extreme care, as if it was manufacturing high-precision instruments. I saw that all the words on the wall had been erased, neatly placed on the ground in the original order, and it was still a complete song "Will Enter the Wine". And on the wall, at the device where the image of the beauty can be seen, the wall has been peeled off. That layer is made of unknown fiber, about one centimeter thick, and the paint on the layer of fiber is on the wall. Once the fibers are stripped away, the complex mechanism behind it is revealed. When I arrived, the Gobi Desert was being illuminated by strong lights. Since the device is almost composed of crystals of various shapes and many smooth planes, it has a very high ability to reflect light, and when the light passes through those crystals, It is decomposed into various colors, and the colors reflect each other, entangle, flow, and shine to form a large, ever-changing, extremely gorgeous and eye-catching color group, which is a spectacle. Seeing this kind of scene is amazing, but the stronger feeling is the admiration for the Gobi Desert. The Gobi Desert has long pointed out that behind this optical device is an extremely complicated set of devices. Now that this set of devices is presented in front of us, it is indeed extremely complicated. For me, the degree of complexity is that I don’t know what it is! At this time, Hong Ling was very careful to follow the Gobi Desert and work with the Gobi Desert. She was very serious when she worked, and her serious attitude made her look like a successful person! Hu Shuo hugged a large stack of printed pictures of the beautiful woman tightly to his chest, and kept muttering to himself: She disappeared, she disappeared Hu Hua could have been regarded as a promising young man, but in his current state, it is absolutely difficult to use any good adjectives to describe him. Gobi Desert pointed to the exposed crystals and said, "Don't be intimidated by them. These crystals formed by reflections, reflections, and refractions many times are all deceptive and confusing. It's like when a person wants to look in a mirror, but stands between two mirrors, the mirrors reflect and reflect the images, and what he sees are endless images, but in fact there is only one.The main purpose of the people who designed this device is to make it difficult for people to find the source of the images that can be seen through the device! The explanation of the Gobi Desert is not easy to understand, but as long as you think about it, you can easily understand that the real purpose of those complicated devices is to prevent anyone from finding out where the beauty is. This is the focus of the question: where is the beauty? I raised this question for the first time. The Gobi Desert took a breath: looking, we are looking! Then they explained how to find it.It is estimated that behind this wall, there are more than 300 blocks that can refract images. It is necessary to trace one by one to the last block, and then from the last block here, go to track another group that has not yet been discovered. Similarly, the optical device that may be more complex does not know how many groups of such optical devices there are in total and where I was dizzy just listening to it, but the Gobi Desert was very confident. They said: To trace the whereabouts and sources of light, but no matter how complicated the dead work is, the light must travel in a straight line, so as long as you are careful, you It can be traced all the time, the device here deliberately set up many mazes, trying to attract people to be fooled, but they can't fool us! I sighed and said, "How much time will it take to track down the last piece of 稜鏡 like this part?" The answer from the Gobi Desert shocked me, but they said it very naturally. They said: There are a total of 360 yuan here, and three yuan have been traced. It took an average of two hours for each yuan, and it is estimated that it will be more expensive. Come and go faster, so keep working, after 300 to 400 hours, you can find the last piece, from the last piece, you can find another set of devices. I did the math, of course it is impossible for them not to rest at all, even if they work twelve hours a day, it still takes about a month. Of course I'm not in a hurry, but judging by the way he talks, I don't know if he can keep waiting for so long! I watched them work, they used various instruments to determine where the refracted light went, and the process was extremely tedious. After watching for a while, I became very impatient, comforted nonsense, and left the big room.In the evening, I mentioned this situation to Bai Su, and said: The person who designed these devices is absolutely insane. He doesn't want people to find that beauty, but makes people see that beauty. I don't know why! These days, Bai Su has obviously been thinking about this question, so she heard me say this, and said: I don't understand, maybe I want to tell the world about the existence of such blue people! I really can't agree with Bai Su's statement, I shook my head: There are more than seven thousand simple ways to let people know the existence of blue people, to let people see a real blue person, Why is it designed to be so complicated!Is it easy to build such a complex device?Who would do this except a psychopath! Bai Su sighed, said: There must be a reason, but we didn't think of it. After she said that, she paused for a while, and said: The whole device looks very hidden, but it is actually not difficult to find, and the clues are very obvious, so the designer of the device hopes that people can find the device and see it through the device. of the image. I agree with Bai Su's words, the whole device is indeed not difficult to find, it is because of this that nonsense saw that beauty. But that was obviously a very vile prank nonsense. After seeing the beauty, he was fascinated, and he didn't know what would happen if it continued.And the designer of the device just made people see the image without any explanation, so that the people who saw it couldn't imagine what was going on at all. Isn't this guy's behavior like playing tricks on people? I thought about this, and snorted: the worst luck is nonsense, a good young man, now Thinking of the way I was talking nonsense when I left, I shook my head, I couldn't describe it, so I couldn't continue. Bai Su suddenly asked at this time: Should we inform Wen Baoyu and tell him the current situation? I said that Bai Su brought it up suddenly because I had never connected this matter with Wen Baoyu before.Firstly, because Wen Baoyu had nothing to do with this matter, and secondly, since I had many disagreements with Wen Baoyu and almost broke up, I really don't want to see him again! It is conceivable that when he met Wen Baoyu, he would inevitably publish his ridiculous theory based on his thoughts after being influenced by the elders. It was unbearable.So not only did she not want to meet him, she didn't even want to think about him. At this time Bai Su mentioned Wen Baoyu, I was surprised, but I knew Bai Su's intention immediately. Bai Su wanted to tell Wen Baoyu the matter, not because Wen Baoyu had anything to do with the matter, but because of the elders. Things seemed to have nothing to do with the alien who had been trapped in the mountainside for an unknown number of years, but when I first saw that beautiful light blue skin, I had a feeling I thought about it for a moment, I thought of the blue race, and I thought of the blue race among the seven aliens that transformed the earth's environment, made the earth chaotic, appeared, and gradually evolved. And according to all kinds of information we already know, when the evolution reaches a higher level of biological human beings, there should also be blue races. But there are no blue races on Earth. Wen Baoyu mentioned that in his communication with the elders, when he told the elders about the current situation of the earth, when he said that there are no blue people on the earth, the elder felt very strange, and he felt that there should be no blue people. When Wen Baoyu mentioned this to us, none of us paid attention.Because at that time we didn't even know that there were blue races, and of course we couldn't get to the bottom of why there should be blue races but they didn't. After hearing about the experience of the rock, I realized that there are indeed blue races, and after seeing the beauty, I had no doubts, so when I saw the beauty, I immediately thought: in the treasure land. Elder, you should have a certain level of understanding of the blue people, because they have cooperated in the past, and of course they have come into contact with the earth-shaking transformation on the earth. At that time, he just thought about it for a while, but now Bai Su proposed to find Wen Baoyu, of course the purpose was to get information about the blue race from the elders. If the elders are willing to provide it, it is indeed the best way to obtain information! I thought about it, and said with a wry smile: Wen Baoyu is getting more and more weird, he was brainwashed by the elders, it is really hard to communicate with him! Thinking of Wen Baoyu's situation, Bai Su couldn't help but sighed, and said: But the elders can tell us a lot about things related to people of the blue race. I nodded, "Just tell him that if he still has some humanity on earth, he should care about his friends; if his appearance has not changed, but his heart has completely become an alien, then there is no other way!" Bai Su said slowly: Aliens also care about their friends! I'm upset: who knows!Even people on earth can't know what's going on, let alone aliens!Any kind of outlandish point of view is possible! Through the computer, I sent a message to Wen Baoyu: Nonsense is in a very, very critical situation. I am helpless and need your help. The details must be discussed in person. Please take the time to come and solve the predicament.The matter is related to the blue race. If possible, please try to learn all the information about the blue race from the elders. If Wen Baoyu is careful, of course he should be able to detect my dissatisfaction with him between the lines, otherwise, in terms of my relationship with him, there is no need to use such a polite style.However, I expect he won't know. After the message was sent, there was an immediate response, and the answer he sent was: Coming soon! This was quite unexpected, and I snorted: After all, the boy has not completely lost his humanity! Bai Su was noncommittal. At that time, I was quite surprised by Bai Su's reaction, but later I realized that she knew Wen Baoyu better than me.It turned out later that the factor that attracted Wen Baoyu's arrival was not nonsense in a crisis, but Wen Baoyu's own high interest in the blue race! That's for later. I discussed with Bai Su, and instead of telling Gobi Desert and Hongling nonsense about Wen Baoyu's coming, we spent some time discussing how to tell him what happened after Wen Baoyu came. This is very uncomfortable, even painful. Our relationship with Wen Baoyu was originally so harmonious that there was absolutely no need to have any scruples, but since Wen Baoyu's thinking has undergone a fundamental change, the situation is completely different, and we are even out of tune with each other. I don't even call him Xiaobao. Unable to call out, I feel from the bottom of my heart that I should call him Mr. Wen! Suddenly a best friend becomes a stranger, which naturally feels extremely unpleasant. It is precisely because Wen Baoyu has basically become a stranger, and a stranger with a completely different way of thinking, so how to explain this complicated situation to him must be studied.The result of our research is to tell him about the experience of the rock first, arouse his interest, and then talk about other things.
