Future Traveler

  "You can't do this, give me the last half hour, my device is complete, just press the button and my long-term work will be done, give me thirty minutes, just thirty minutes!" The old scientist wearing a white coat, hunched over his dry throat, said to these military uniformed men.

  The first one was still in a good mood and said to the old man, "Mr. Zhao, you have spent nearly ten years on this project, consuming a large amount of national funds and precious foreign exchange, but there is no visible effect. This 'Parallel Plane Bridge Theory' is too far-fetched for us. The country is now focusing on economic development, and the party and state are leading everyone to get rich. Our resources are limited, and we cannot invest in projects that do not see any benefits."

  An elderly scientist stepped forward, followed by a relatively young and pretty female researcher who said: "Scientific research is like this. Without persistent investment and perseverance, nothing can be achieved in the end. If everyone has such a short-sighted vision, then there's no need to develop two bombs and one satellite."

  The soldier also didn't get angry and said, "I don't understand science, but I know that our two bombs and one satellite intimidated the American and Soviet empires, raising our country's international status. What use is this thing of yours even if you research it successfully?"

  The female researcher argued: "Our world is so narrow, mastering this bridge-like structure technology will allow us to obtain more arable land, more resources, and people can live in a safer environment. We may also encounter other civilized beings, engage in cultural and technological exchanges, and surpassing the UK and the US is not a problem."

  The man in uniform shook his head: "Listen to yourself, Comrade Xiao Sun. What you're saying is no different from a fairy tale."

  The old academician sighed and said, "We've completed all the preparations, can you at least give us a little time to press the button? It won't take long. If it doesn't work this time, you can dismantle the equipment again, okay?"

  The military man saw the old academician who had been warmly received and recognized by Chairman Mao, knew that he had made outstanding contributions to many national scientific research projects in the past, but did not know what evil he had committed in his later years, and was engaged in this strange field, wasting the country's time and money, as well as his own talent.

  "Alright, you have thirty more minutes, if nothing works out, we will still dismantle the equipment."

  The old academician was very excited, nodded, and no longer paid attention to the senior staff member from the Military Commission, directing his students and colleagues to speed up the experiment.

  "The Dawn Project's first bridge framework test, begin!" The old academic looked at the data on the imported computer from abroad and issued the command with caution and excitement.

  The female researcher pressed the green jade finger onto the red button, and saw that the two parts that were like a pair of opposing steel forks emitted a bright blue electric light, and the atmosphere in the entire laboratory underwent a huge change.

  "Energy increased by 40% - 50%..."

  "Energy increased by 70%..."

  The female researcher was also watching the screen, constantly reporting data.

  "88%... It's no good, the equipment is starting to become unstable, there's a risk of explosion, Professor Zhao, request to stop this experiment, we've failed!" A middle-aged researcher with bottle-bottom glasses shouted in alarm.

  "Absolutely not, we can't stop now, this is our only chance and we can't give it up."

  The female researcher was a disciple of Academician Zhao, and she also saw that the experiment was approaching the critical value, producing great danger. If something went wrong with the experiment, it was very likely to create a disaster similar to the Tunguska explosion. She immediately pulled Academician Zhao: "Teacher, let's evacuate the building first, don't shut down the instruments, let them run by themselves, it's too dangerous!"

  The military-clad man immediately said: "Academician Zhao, this is experimental equipment purchased by the country at a huge cost, you have no right to destroy it, I order you to stop!"

  The researcher of the wine bottle bottom glasses was already pale at this time, and muttered: "Can't stop, stop and explode, don't stop and there's still a chance to survive."

  "Ladies and gentlemen! Evacuate the building!"

  Then the two security guards hastily supported Academician Zhao, a national key talent, and ran wildly towards the outside of the laboratory. The other researchers also didn't care about the data and equipment problems anymore, and rushed out of the building in chaos.

  Just as everyone ran out of the building, a shockwave burst out of the building, and a blue light wave instantly swept away all people. All electronic devices within a radius of one kilometer were damaged. Fortunately, this experimental laboratory was established in the remote area of Dalinor, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, where there are no people, and there is no other important facility except for this experimental zone, not even a town, so there was no major damage.

  "Good heavens, look!" At this moment, a researcher struggled to get up from the ground, pointing in the direction of the building, with a shocked expression.

  Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and saw that the original small building was slowly melting like an ice cream on a hot summer day. As it melted to the end, a blue light door appeared at the core of the building, flashing with a gorgeous light that this world had never possessed before.

  "How beautiful!" After all, she was a girl, and Zhao's female disciple couldn't help but be enchanted by the most magical changes in the light and shadow.

  "Academician Zhao broke free from the two security guards beside him, extremely excited and dancing with joy: 'We succeeded, we opened a bridge to a parallel space, we found a new world!'"

  Even the military-clad man who came to dismantle the equipment was shocked beyond measure. If Zhao's research had indeed been successful, then even if all this equipment were destroyed, it would be worth it.

  At this time, the blue light gate suddenly shook violently, and no one understood what was going on. The light gate suddenly expanded, and a head like that of an ultra-giant truck stretched over to this side.

  "What's that?" a small guard shouted, trembling, while reaching for his Type 54 pistol at his waist.

  The female researcher came to her senses and shouted: "Hurry up and leave this area, that thing is too big, maybe it's something from another world, whatever it is, if it opens like this, it will crush us all to death, hurry up and leave."

  The military man's face changed greatly. If there is intelligent life in the opposite world, and it is highly advanced intelligent life, as long as they have bad intentions, good things will become bad things.

  "Director Zhao, how do we turn this thing off? We can't let people of unknown identities come in!"

  Academician Zhao stared blankly at the vehicle-like object that was as tall as a high-rise building, without any reaction.

  "All instruments and equipment have been destroyed. The bridge gate is now out of our control and we can't close it."

  "How could it be like this?"

  A group of people had retreated to a position several hundred meters away from the light gate, but that massive vehicle-like object was still extending outward. It was covered all over with various armor and exposed parts, looking extremely sci-fi, with a taste of the Iron Age.

  It wasn't until more than a minute later that this massive object finally emerged from the light gate. And in that instant, the light gate suddenly contracted like a pulse and completely disappeared behind the tail of this giant vehicle.

  "My god, even the Great Hall of the People may not be bigger than this thing, what is it?"

  "It must be some kind of mobile building from the opposite world, is the technology in that world so advanced?"

  Researchers were abuzz with discussion as this massive vehicle stood still right there, without any signs of danger.

  "Where's the bridge gate gone? Where's it gone!" Professor Zhao rushed forward, disregarding the obstruction. He seemed to be not afraid of the giant vehicle at all, but rather more concerned about the disappearance of his completed space-time bridge gate.

  "Professor Zhao, it's too dangerous!"

  A man in military uniform held Zhao tightly, not allowing him to approach the massive vehicle. Fortunately, he did hold onto Zhao because just as he blocked Zhao's path, this enormous vehicle suddenly transformed, extending numerous parts from its body and then striking the ground. Several researchers who had seen "Transformers" thought that the transformation of this giant vehicle was just like an Autobot or a Predacon.

  In about half a minute, this giant vehicle actually transformed into a huge building in front of everyone's eyes. A large metal-glossy building appeared with gates and porthole-like things. Although the structure was very strange, at least it had the appearance of a building.

  The timid ones had long since fled to the back, leaving only a few people like Zhao Yuan standing not far from the metallic building. After a few minutes, there was no change in the thing, and the researcher with the bottle-bottom glasses rubbed his messy hair and asked cautiously: "Shouldn't be a problem anymore, right?"

  At this time, the military uniformed man also knew that if there was danger, they would definitely not be able to stop it either. This gigantic building that suddenly appeared out of nowhere had completely exceeded their understanding. Sticking one's head out would get it chopped off, and withdrawing it would also get it chopped off; might as well go in and take a look at what's going on.

  Professor Zhao calmed down and carefully entered the grand entrance of this mysterious building with his female disciple and the military-clad man, where the interior decoration also had a strong sci-fi tone. However, what caught their attention was not the staircases, corridors, or strange command panels, but rather a young man lying in the great hall.

  "Is he still alive?" Professor Zhao was somewhat excited, because this person must be from another world, a living being from another world, enough to gain a lot of knowledge, and for an instant, he even thought of dissecting him.

  The soldier in uniform was very bold, letting the researchers retreat and approaching with a security guard: "He's still alive! The pulse is very stable, as if he had fainted. Wait, there's something in his pocket."

  What he fished out was surprisingly a leather wallet. The man in military uniform opened it and pulled out a card from inside, the text on which he could all recognize were Chinese characters. On the front side was this person's photo and personal information, while on the back side several big words were exceptionally eye-catching - People's Republic of China Resident Identity Card.

  Looking back at his birth date - June 29th, 1990.

  The military uniformed man was stunned, handing the ID card to Professor Zhao and said: "If this ID card is real, this child will not be born until five years later, but looking at his appearance, he is at least 25 or 26 years old."

  Female researcher was shocked: "He is from the future?!"
