(No supernatural powers! No supernatural powers! No supernatural powers!)
Thinking of Weixi's personality, Yuan Jingsong's face twitched!
Yuan Jingsong pulled out a brand-new ID card and handed it to Li Zhou. "I understand, I understand."
"Humph! ╭(╯^╰)╮"
Weixi's voice came from overhead. Li Zhou merely shrugged indifferently.
"Come on, give me a hand and get the Photon Supercomputer onto the cart."
The Photon Supercomputer was not particularly heavy, weighing less than two hundred jin.
With Li Zhou and Yuan Jingsong working together, they easily lifted it onto the cart.
However, as Yuan Jingsong looked at the Photon Supercomputer before him, something felt off. It seemed to be missing something.
Even after taking the elevator back down to Floor -10, Yuan Jingsong still could not figure out what was wrong.
When the two special forces soldiers waiting on Floor -10 saw the mission target, they immediately stepped forward to steady it, afraid it might get bumped or damaged.
Wang Yuan supported the dark "cabinet" in front of him and raised a brow.
"Squad leader, why doesn't this thing have any packaging? At the very least, it needs some protection, right? If we just haul it out like this, how are we supposed to transport it back?"
The moment Wang Yuan said that, Yuan Jingsong finally understood why he had kept feeling that something was missing.
Everyone looked at Li Zhou at once, as if asking whether he seriously had no packaging.
Li Zhou froze too. Packaging? He had been run ragged all week. How could he have thought about needing packaging?
Seeing Li Zhou hold it in for ages without saying a word, Yuan Jingsong understood.
This guy paid no attention to details. No wonder he was destined to never get a girlfriend.
"Ahem. Zhou Song, go to Procurement and take apart an air conditioner box. Bring it here."
"Got it, boss."
Less than five minutes later, Zhou Song came back carrying an air conditioner box.
Only after they packaged the Photon Supercomputer did they realize, to their surprise, that the box was exactly the right size.
At the main entrance, Li Zhou watched the five military vehicles slowly drive away and was just about to return to his office.
But when he looked up, he spotted heads in many of the windows.
The instant Li Zhou raised his head, all those heads vanished like ghosts.
Li Zhou stared at the vanished heads, stroking his chin in thought.
"Am I that scary?"
"Woof!"
A bark interrupted Li Zhou's thoughts. He looked down at Big Black, who was wagging his tail beside his feet.
"Big Black, are you here to mooch food and drinks off Xiao Nuonuo again?"
After Yuan Jingsong got the "cargo" onto the highway, his entire body tensed up.
"Everyone, stay sharp. Report immediately if anything unusual happens!"
"Received!"
"Received!"
"Received!"
Throughout the journey, Yuan Jingsong and the others remained on high alert. Fortunately, they made it to the military airfield without incident.
After a brief stop at the military district, and to avoid any further complications, Yuan Jingsong had the "cargo" flown back to the research institute without delay. Only once it reached his own territory could he relax slightly.
Just after eight fifteen that evening, the moment the Photon Supercomputer arrived at the research institute, a group of old men in white lab coats came running over.
As they looked at the dark "cabinet," every one of their eyes lit up.
"Quick, power this thing up and give it a try!"
"Yes!"
After receiving Yuan Jingsong's permission, a soldier plugged the external power cord of the Photon Supercomputer into the power supply.
Seeing that the Photon Supercomputer showed no response, the old men frowned.
Why was there no response? Could it be broken?
Zhang Aiguo adjusted his reading glasses and suddenly said, "You haven't even turned it on. What computer starts up the moment you plug it in? We really are getting senile."
At Zhang Aiguo's words, everyone flushed in embarrassment.
They had been too excited and had actually forgotten about that.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Zhang Aiguo pressed the only button on the Photon Supercomputer.
The next second, indicator lights lit up one after another. Only after seeing that none of them were red did Zhang Aiguo breathe a sigh of relief.
"Little Yuan, connect the display."
Yuan Jingsong nodded and connected the signal cable from the large console screen to the Photon Supercomputer's port.
Everyone turned to look at the big screen. Seeing the completely blank display, question marks filled their minds.
"What is going on, Little Yuan?"
"Ahem, the software hasn't been installed yet." Yuan Jingsong took out a USB drive and waved it in the air.
Zhang Aiguo was furious. His eyes widened.
"Then what are you waiting for?"
The instant Yuan Jingsong inserted the USB drive, if Li Zhou had been there, he would have noticed that what appeared on the large screen was exactly the same as when Weixi had been born.
In this little-known research institute, tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
Meanwhile, Li Zhou had just lain down on his bed to play on his phone when Weixi appeared on the screen.
Seeing Weixi frowning tightly on the phone, Li Zhou was puzzled.
At this hour, unless something urgent had happened, Weixi would not casually interrupt him while he was playing on his phone.
"Boss, within the past hour, Weixi has detected several unusual natural disasters around the world.
Within one hour, five dormant volcanoes reawakened and showed signs of impending eruption; part of Antarctica's glaciers suddenly accelerated their melting before returning to normal; 107 minor earthquakes occurred worldwide, fifty of which took place outside seismic zones."
Seeing Weixi's serious expression, Li Zhou had thought something earth-shattering had happened.
"Was there a major earthquake?"
"No. All the earthquakes were minor. Even the largest only caused slight tremors."
"See? Isn't it normal for so many earthquakes to happen around the world? At most, there were only a tiny bit more than usual."
Weixi frowned. Although her boss made sense, the data projections still suggested that something was abnormal.
After Weixi fell silent, Li Zhou reopened his battle royale game and began matching with teammates.
At that moment, Li Zhou had no idea that this anomaly was the beginning of every disaster.
After playing two matches, Li Zhou drifted off to sleep without realizing it.
After Li Zhou fell asleep, Weixi continued gathering and analyzing global data, but she soon discovered that the world had returned to normal.
The dormant volcanoes that had reawakened and shown signs of eruption went dormant again, while the frequent minor earthquakes around the world vanished without a trace.
If not for the recorded data proving that everything had happened, it would have seemed as though none of it had ever occurred.
Unable to derive any results, Weixi gave up on her calculations. As Li Zhou slept, she entered sleep mode as well.
At this very moment, no one noticed, and no one realized, that subtle changes were taking place inside Blue Star.
Unfortunately, humanity had conducted very little research into Earth's interior, and observing its depths was even more out of the question.
Everyone continued as usual, completely unaware that anything was different. They stayed up through the longest nights, refusing to put down their phones.
Even at Yuan Jingsong's research institute, everyone was still planning Nuwa's education.
