Chapter 214 Contact
"Takumo bought today's plane ticket and said he would arrive on time to see us no matter what." Mayumi's words were full of happiness.
Although Takumo didn't say it, she could imagine that Takumo spent a lot of effort in order to get ashore and take the plane to leave. After all, Takumo's ship was temporarily docked, but you still want to go ashore to the airport. Taking an international flight is not just about buying a ticket.
There are a series of formalities and processes that need to be completed such as applying for a visa for the country and entering the country, but Tuomo can complete it in just one day. In addition to running around, you also have to go outside. Only by clearing the way for banknotes can Southeast Asian administrators, known for their sloth speed, complete relevant procedures as quickly as possible.
He did this not only because he wanted to see himself earlier, to tell his brother that important thing earlier, but also to spend as much time with himself as possible.
"Tonight?!" Xincheng's sleepiness just now disappeared, and his face looked ugly as if he had heard the most terrifying ghost story.
"That's right, it's just tonight. There's no need to cancel the dinner reservation. It's the top-notch sushi that Takumo spent a lot of effort to order. It's settled. Bye, I want it. Let's go prepare for tonight's meeting." After Mayumi finished speaking, she hung up the phone without giving Shinjo a chance to speak.
Xincheng perfectly performed what it means to be dumbfounded. He stood there holding the PDI that had been hung up. He was speechless for a while. Horii, who had finished eating his breakfast apple, helped him close the PDI and said: " Why are you looking like this? Isn’t it a good thing that we can meet tonight?”
“But I.I.” Xincheng seemed to be crying in the next second. Said: "I haven't prepared anything, I haven't bought any clothes, I haven't slept, I haven't even shaved."
"Oh," Horii nodded with sudden realization, thinking that Xincheng was worried about this, and looked at the time , then patted Xincheng on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Then I pray that you can complete all this in the next ten hours."
It was just a joke, but Horii still gave a solution, let Xincheng go to bed immediately, and he would help order a set of clothes online. When Xincheng woke up, he would go to the store to try and pick them up immediately. Horii's enthusiastic help earned Xincheng a rare gratitude. .
After Shinjo left, Horii did not look for clothes. Instead, he turned on the communication device and contacted Dr. Mizuno, who had been drifting in the ionosphere for several days, to inquire about their progress.
I didn’t hold out much hope, it was just a routine inquiry. After all, the cross-sectional area of the ionosphere is larger than the ocean plus land, and its thickness reaches 900 kilometers. The space is incredibly vast.
The Lightning Man's lair can also absorb electromagnetic waves, so conventional detection methods have no effect at all. We can only look for a needle in a haystack, and we don't know when we will find it.
As a result, Dr. Mizuno told Horii very excitedly that they observed an abnormal discharge phenomenon two hours ago at an altitude of 532 kilometers above the Solomon Islands. After observation and comparison, it was suspected that it was The settlement of the lightning people.
"Really?" Horii was pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect to find the missing Lightning Man so quickly. It was really great.
“It’s not certain yet,” said Dr. Mizuno, who had the rigorous attitude of a scientist. Until he saw it with his own eyes, no matter how much evidence he had, he would still be suspicious, but he couldn’t hide the joy on his face and said, “But based on what we currently have, Judging from the situation, it should be "
"Congratulations, Doctor!" After Horii congratulated him, he thought of the issues discussed yesterday, and hurriedly expressed his concerns, and warned Dr. Mizuno not to get too close, in case of encounter. Gazot's words, wouldn't it be terrible.
"Don't worry," Dr. Mizuno said with a smile: "I won't risk so many people's lives. I still want to be the first ambassador of friendly exchanges with the Lightning people. I have already done that. I am fully prepared. The range of influence of Gazot on electronic instruments is one kilometer. I have ordered the detector to keep a distance of five kilometers to avoid electromagnetic interference. Even if there is Gazot, there is enough distance to escape, and nothing will happen. ”
"Then I'm relieved," Horii nodded and said, "Doctor, I'm waiting for your triumphant return at the base."
"Yes!"
After hanging up the communication, Horii muttered Author: "It is really a pity to miss this opportunity. Doctors and others have made such great progress." , Alas."
Across the bay, in Kisarazu, Chiba Makoto was loading essential items for going out, such as vegetarian bread, drinking water, cameras, etc., and placed the bulging backpack at the door. After putting the lunch on the table, he went to the kitchen to bring out the lunch, hurriedly settled it and went to take a shower and get ready to go.
Originally, he was doing his daily exercise when he suddenly "saw" Gazot. He immediately stopped exercising and hurried home, preparing to leave for the Jingnan District of the metropolis, where Gazot was attacking. The goal-solar power generation research and experimental center.
The distance is very close. You only need to go through the Bay Tunnel to reach it. The straight-line distance is only 20 kilometers. You can get there in half an hour by motorcycle. However, Chiba Makoto decided to leave early and wait there to avoid intercepting the monster. Can't let the monster land.
The reason is very simple. The so-called experimental center has been receiving solar microwaves from the universe since the beginning of the solar power generation plan. It stores a massive amount of energy. Once it explodes, it will be no less powerful than a nuclear bomb. Ten kilometers will be destroyed, and tens of millions of people will die
This is no joke, and there can be no mistakes. That's why Chiba Makoto is so anxious to cook and pack his luggage, just to Race against time.
Putting his lunch into his mouth as quickly as possible, Chiba Makoto grabbed his backpack and was ready to set off. He was riding a motorcycle on the road at full speed, still thinking about how he was about to descend from the ionosphere again. Gazot on the ground.
It has been less than a year since the last appearance. The second mutation occurred in such a short period of time. Humanity’s solar power generation plan definitely contributed a lot. I don’t know if it was absorbed by the Lightning Man’s lair. How many microwaves required such a fast speed to give birth to the second Gazot.
But the problem is that no matter how fast or slow it is, as long as humans don't give up electromagnetic waves, Gazot will appear sooner or later, allowing humans to give up electromagnetic waves, unless a more convenient and faster way to transmit information and energy than electromagnetic waves can be found.
Like telepathy?
Chiba Makoto was just thinking about this when he accidentally caught a glimpse of a plane taking off from the Metropolitan International Airport and about to fly over the bridge above his head. He suddenly thought of Takumo in this episode and thought inwardly. : "I remember reminding him, he shouldn't be able to fly, right?!"
