Chapter 999 Core
However, when the drill bit touched the core of the earth vein, something strange happened - all the equipment began to automatically play the video of Qi Tongwei "going crazy" in public, and the pattern of dragon and phoenix totems appeared on the surface of the drill bit, and then it stopped working. The angry engineers attributed all this to technical failure, but they didn't know that this was the silent resistance of the earth vein to the greedy.
In the ecological museum of Dongjiang Village, a special exhibition is underway. Visitors wearing VR glasses seem to be in the ancient world of earth veins. They see that in ancient times, the dragon and phoenix totems were not just symbols, but real guardians of the earth veins. When humans live in harmony with nature, the power of dragon and phoenix nourishes all things; once greed takes over, the earth veins will issue warnings and even bring disasters. At the end of the exhibition, Qi Tongwei's "crazy" image suddenly appeared, and he danced and shouted: "Don't dig! It will hurt to death if you dig the earth veins again!" The seemingly absurd words made many visitors fall into contemplation.
Liang Lu knew her husband's good intentions. She kept looking for clues in the ancient books in the library, and finally found an amazing record in a book called "Geomai" from the Ming Dynasty: "Geomai are like the meridians of the human body, and dragons and phoenixes are their spirits. Those who move them recklessly will be attacked." She shared this discovery with Qi Tongwei, and the two studied all night in the secret room of the new locust tree, and finally found a way to communicate with the earth veins using quantum technology. The earth vein repair bacteria liquid they developed is one of the results of this research.
As the earth vein repair bacteria solution was secretly released around the world, miracles began to happen quietly. The once dry rivers began to flow again, new green shoots grew in the desert, and the polluted soil gradually regained its vitality. However, these changes were regarded as "abnormal phenomena" by certain forces, who increased their efforts to plunder the earth vein resources in an attempt to cover up the truth.
At an international academic conference, Qi Tongwei once again appeared as a "madman". Wearing a suit with cartoon patterns, he danced on the stage and gave a speech: "Look! This is my new geo-energy vacuum cleaner!" He held up a toy vacuum cleaner, which made the audience laugh. However, behind the laughter, he was delivering important information to geo-energy guardians around the world through quantum communication. After the meeting, many scientists were thoughtful and began to re-examine their research directions.
Time passed quietly, and the bell-ringing rice fields in Dongjiang Village ushered in another harvest season. The golden rice ears hung heavily, and the bronze wind chimes played a melodious melody in the wind. Qi Tongwei, wearing dinosaur gloves, shuttled through the fields, instructing the villagers how to use the ground vein repair bacteria liquid. The children followed him and asked curiously: "Grandpa Qi, are you really a madman?" Qi Tongwei blinked and said mysteriously: "Maybe, but the world seen by a madman may be the most real!"
Late one night, the alarm at the monitoring station suddenly sounded. On the holographic map, the ground vein nodes in the Arctic Circle showed abnormal fluctuations. Qi Tongwei quickly gathered the team, but before setting off, he deliberately put on a raincoat with a cartoon smiley face, muttering: "The dinosaur warriors are going to fight monsters!" Liang Lu looked at her husband with heartache and understanding in her eyes. When they arrived in the Arctic, they found that a certain country's icebreaker was forcibly mining ground vein energy. Qi Tongwei did not confront head-on, but used the ground vein repair bacteria liquid to create an "Aurora Show". The colorful aurora formed a huge dragon and phoenix totem in the sky, scaring the staff on the icebreaker to flee.
After this incident, more and more people began to pay attention to the protection of the earth veins. Some knowledgeable people set up non-governmental organizations to spontaneously monitor the movement of the earth veins. Qi Tongwei's "crazy words" were gradually reinterpreted by people, and every "farce" he made in public was regarded as a silent protest against the greed of capital.
On a winter morning, Qi Tongwei stood under a new locust tree, watching the children playing in the fields. The mountains in the distance were covered with snow, like an ink painting. He opened the children's notebook and wrote in between graffiti: "The sky is vast, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass low and the truth is revealed. The cause and effect of this world has always been written in the veins of the earth. When everyone is chasing the illusion of profit, I would rather be the sober person pretending to be crazy and stupid, and guard this last pure land."
The mountain wind swept across the dome of the monitoring center, and the dragon and phoenix totems in the astronomical telescope were still circulating in the starry sky. Qi Tongwei knew that the battle with capital and greed was far from over, but he firmly believed that as long as the heartbeat of the earth veins was still there and as long as there were people willing to listen to the voice of nature, hope would never disappear.
He suddenly heard a thunder-like vibration coming from underground, and the fingertips under the dinosaur gloves touched the slight tremor of the operating table - this was the unique frequency of the earth vein warning, which could sense the crisis earlier than any precision instrument.
"Professor Qi! The constant temperature cabin on the third floor underground!" Lin Xia's exclamation exploded from the intercom. Qi Tongwei ran downstairs, and the emergency lights cast distorted shadows in the corridor. The moment the cabin door was opened, the minus 18 degrees cold air wrapped in the smell of blood rushed in his face. The twelve dinosaur egg-shaped earth vein energy cabins cracked with spider web-like patterns, and the dark blue energy liquid was spreading along the ground, and the metal floor was sizzling with green smoke wherever it went.
"Activate the liquid nitrogen barrier!" Qi Tongwei took off his cartoon gloves and pressed the emergency button. Cold mist instantly filled the entire space. He glimpsed the purple lines seeping out of the cracks in the energy cabin, which were exactly the same as the curse on the Southeast Asian stone tablet three months ago - someone was secretly using high-frequency electromagnetic waves to interfere with the frequency of the earth veins, attempting to cause these sealed ancient energies to run wild.
When Liang Lu led the research team into the cabin, she saw Qi Tongwei holding the energy capsule that was about to explode with his bare hands. A faint blue light surged in his pupils, and fine dragon and phoenix totem patterns appeared on the surface of his skin. "Go!" His roar was mixed with the buzzing of energy overload, "These things are going to burn the ground veins within a hundred miles to ashes!"
At the moment of the explosion, Qi Tongwei pushed the last researcher out of the hatch. The air wave overturned the heavy explosion-proof door, and the purple energy turned into a giant dragon and rushed straight to the dome. The reinforced concrete structure of the monitoring station groaned under the heavy load. Before he lost consciousness, he saw the shadow of the new locust tree penetrate the building, and the golden dragon scales covered the energy dragon. The two phases intertwined and smashed the lens of the astronomical telescope.
When Qi Tongwei woke up in the sterile ward, his right arm was wrapped in a blood-soaked bandage. Liang Lu raised the diagnosis with red eyes: "The metal fragments cut the artery and infected anaerobic Bacillus. Tetanus antitoxin must be injected immediately." Her voice suddenly choked, "Do you know that those energy capsules contain the Cambrian period's earth vein gene chain? Once it gets out of control..."
