"what’s this?"

 

The speed of the ore car's taxiing in the tunnel gradually decreased, and the sound of the ore car gradually flattened. It makes the tremor of Xu Le's voice particularly noticeable. The teenager's steady hand was shaking, and he touched the smooth bracelet on his left wrist. He faintly guessed something but couldn't believe it.

 

But Feng Yu did not answer.

 

Suddenly, the metal bracelet with a thickness of 0.7cm slides like the flowing mercury with the touch of Xu Le's fingertips!

 

The metal surface highlights extremely fine lines and then cracks along the lines. It exposed the extremely complicated and delicate structure inside the bracelet. In the hollow cavity of the bracelet, three metal wires as thin as hair are strung with unclear numbers of shimmering metal particles.

 

It’s like the starlight drawn in lines in surreal oil paintings, which strung all those dazzling stars.

 

By the dim light in the pit, Xu Le's small eyes were staring round. He was staring at his wrist without blinking as if he saw a fairy or monster that does not exist in the world. Those metal wires are too thin, and the vibration of the mine car is too great. Xu Le is very worried that these wires will be broken at any time. Those shimmering metal particles are too small, and the small ones seem to have no trace of weight. They seem may be blown away by the distant wind in the pit at any time, and they can no longer trace the slightest trace.

 

In the eyes of ordinary people, these metal wires and small shiny metal particles may just be very delicate and fragile handicrafts, but Xu Le followed Feng Yu to study mechanic repair for four years and has a share of all the human-machine civilization. With the born sensitivity, he could tell at a glance that these metal particles should not be able to see the surface of the metal particles. Something made his heartbeat.

 

That’s the flow of the artwork. It’s a wonderfully arranged array of cores. Although Xu Le doesn’t know how these things are combined in such a small area and how they work, it was simply linked to the secret that Feng Yu had previously said.

 

Disguised chips? A camouflage chip that can pass all the monitoring and detection under the glory of Charter One!

 

Xu Le's neck became cold again because he knew that a similar chip was hidden in the depths of his cervical spine. The identity chip had been with him for seventeen years. More precisely, every citizen of the Federation has such a chip in his body ... and for many years, no one has ever been able to imitate such a chip. No one has even dared to try to remove the chip unless he decides to flee to another country and never return to the Federation in all the lifetime.

 

At this time, the young man's wrist bracelet is hiding a chip that can be perfectly disguised! What kind of meaning does this represent? Under the strong emotional shock, Xu Le can't figure it out clearly. But he only knows one point, a chip represents a brand-new life. He also thought of the words that the boss said before. Those who can design the disguised chip and put it into practice will receive the highest honor of federal science, the Nebula Award.

 

Of course, if a scientist in the Federation develops such a thing, he will be sentenced to life imprisonment by the federal government before he wins the Nebula Award. However, Xu Le is still shocked. What kind of knowledge and strength is needed to compete with the glorious charter of federal civilization?

 

He looked back at Feng Yu's tired and old face suddenly. He opened his mouth for a long time, but could not speak. He had never been so shaken in his life, except perhaps the loud noise of 12 years ago.

 

It was this shock that made Xu Le ignore the other convincing process of the bracelet. The fingerprint authentication and opening were completed at one moment. This is not a particularly difficult thing in itself, but quickly completing it on such a thick metal bracelet also illustrates a lot of things.

 

......

 

"I said, this is a gift I gave you." Feng Yu seemed not to know what kind of uproar the bracelet he threw to Xu Le would cause if it appeared in the federal society. He said: "If you don't want to be captured in prison and closed for a few years. Find some time and space. Take out the chip in your neck and replace it with one in the bracelet. The identity information and operation method are in the light curtain. You need to learn by yourself... It shouldn't be difficult for you. "

 

At this point, the minecart had stopped at the intersection of a certain roadway in the mine. Xu Le's trembling fingers restored the bracelet to its original position and subconsciously wanted to throw the bracelet away or return it to Feng Yu. However, He only realized that the bracelet could not be thrown away, it was round and integrated. He could not find any gap that could be pulled apart, just like he wore from childhood to age.

 

"You ... you ... you use it, otherwise ... you will ... die, you can ... use it." Xu Le looked at the boss's gray hair. It was not until today that Xu Le knew how mysterious and unfathomable the boss is. He could not help but stutter, "I’m ... at most for a few years ... you are going to die."

 

"Stupid guy, I already said the reason." Feng Yu looked at the youthful face with no expression, and said, "This thing can only be used by one person, don't ask me why. In the future, you should not try to use these chips to save the lives of other people. Go ... Change your identity. Go to the Capital Star Circle. Live a whole new life, and use another method to realize your life ideal. "

 

Another identity? Another life? Xu Le suddenly stayed. The boss said that the real cold metal touch on his wrist reminded him that the life that he thought was in despair suddenly opened another door to himself. But behind that door ... is his ideal life?

 

Hey, what about the boss?

 

"I gave you a little gift, and I want to give you a few words." Feng Yu stared blankly at his eyes and said, "After you go to the Capital Circle, these words may be useful to you. "

 

Xu Le was still in shock. He just listened subconsciously.

 

"Your double eyebrows are like a knife. They are too straight and right. This is not good. It will avoid your horizons to stay open and hurt your soul. If you can change it, just change it."

 

"There is no creator between the stars, and there is no glory to worship. The most dangerous place is the safest place, but this sentence can only be believed three times."

 

"Forget me after today. These four years should be pulled down and buried. Don't expect to look for fairness and remuneration, let alone boring things like revenge. I am not your dad, and I have not treated you well. Just keep away from those in your life, those who eat your meat but advocate vegetarianism. "

 

"I know you're curious about the explosion in the war and my charges. You want me to be innocent, but I can't say that I'm innocent. But I can tell you that it won't take long before you may know what the explosion looked like. "

 

"My words are over." Feng Yu's white hair suddenly seemed dazzling in the dark pit. His true age was finally revealed. He pulled out a cigarette from his pocket and ignited it. He took a beautifully and took a sip to Xu Le's face. I took a sip and continued, "It's almost time, they're almost there, and you can roll away."

 

Xu Le kept listening to Feng Yu. He always felt that there was a sadness deep in his heart that was constantly rising. The pain in his head was extremely painful. His voice was hoarse as if praying, "You must be alive."

 

"Of course, I'm alive. I will always be alive." Feng Yu's face suddenly showed an extremely proud look. He looked at the bracelet on Xu Le's wrist, and said, "Does it need you to tell me?"

 

After saying this, Feng Yu, the federal treason thief and an ordinary mechanic in East Forest District, kicked Xu Le. He kicked the silly teenager into the sewer beside the tunnel.
