Chapter 4 Chapter 1.04 Brothers

Under the observation of the Earth's main world, a certain inter-dimensional area defined by the crossing department.

This is still the history of the Earth, corresponding to the historical coordinates of 1963.

The Earth has conducted preliminary exploration of this plane, and Asia and Europe and the United States in the main world have invested exploration forces in this area, but because the situation in this plane is relatively stable. The risk of conflict in the current timeline within 20 years is relatively small. The fierce conflict between the Eastern and Western space-time forces will occur in other nearby timelines.

Therefore, according to the Tian Ji horse racing strategy set by the headquarters of the main world, the capable personnel here must be temporarily withdrawn.

Current location and environment: Under the waves of the Arctic Ocean, in the observation hall of the Arctic research ship island.

A man who is similar to Wei Keng, but obviously much more capable, is reading the transfer order report transmitted from the main world in his perspective, frowning.

The report is written throughout one thing, to finish the personal work here, the remaining time to stay in this timeline must not exceed ten months, and must arrive at another plane.

Wei Qiang asked the supervisor of his system: "My mission level stability is Class B. What is the mission that was changed?"

Supervisory member Zhang Qin: "It is a military secret. We have no right to investigate. However, your successor has been nominated. Do you want to guess?"

Wei Qiang held his forehead and shook his head, "No need to say, I know. Hey~ It's unfortunate for the family. He came here? The water here is deep. With his character, can he handle it?"

Wei Keng and Wei Qiang are obviously brothers. The word "Keng" comes first. Wei Keng is the elder brother. In fact, he just came to the world five minutes earlier.

Wei Qiang completed his master's degree at the age of fifteen, and spent a year studying the high-energy physics of the target plane he applied for. When Wei Keng was still messing around in college, Wei Qiang had already arrived at the alien plane area where his father had run a business, and spent fifteen years here.

The time flow rate of the plane is faster than that of the main world. As his psychological age increases, Wei Qiang is helpless about his brother's various behaviors.

He did not admit that his brother was stupid. From childhood to adulthood, Wei Keng had shown intelligence above average in many things, but in terms of personality, he would show mediocrity whenever he had to compete with others.

Wei Qiang: ‘He never even competed with me for the title of brother. When he knew I was his younger brother when he was a child, he was very angry. Later, he never called me his younger brother, but always called me A Qiang. ’

From elementary school to middle school, Wei Qiang was always among the top students in various exams in every school year.

What about Wei Keng? He relaxed, relaxed, and relaxed again from the beginning of school, and his grades fell again and again, constantly moving towards the middle. Is it because of lack of ability?

No.

Every time it was winter and summer vacation, when there were only two of them.

Wei Qiang found that when he set the review tasks every day, his brother also set the daily learning goals.

He kept moving closer to himself in terms of learning progress. Whether it was memorizing or arithmetic, he could reach his level within one or two months. Then, school started, except for the first few exams, he was pretty good, and after one or two months, he was just like everyone else.

What impressed Wei Qiang the most was Wei Keng's catchphrase: "Isn't it normal and ordinary for me to be like this?" - From childhood to adulthood, Wei Keng never felt that there was anything wrong with his mediocrity.

...

"Alarm, alarm -

73.715046 north latitude, 64.955931 east longitude, biological and chemical targets found."

The alarm sound on the warship and the flashing in the upper left corner of the operation interface in front of him made Wei Qiang pull his thoughts out of his memories.

Wei Qiang regained his seriousness and put on his helmet. The eyepiece of the helmet pulled down projected the picture taken by the drone on the distant sea surface onto Wei Qiang's retina.

Between the white ice and the waves.

In front of it, the huge sea monster squid waved its 60-meter-long giant tentacles and destroyed an iceberg. The frequency of the infrasound waves emitted by the mechanical device tied to the tentacles gradually approached the resonance frequency of the iceberg.

The azure iceberg began to turn white. This was the scene of the cracks spreading inside, and then it began to shatter and fall off.

Wei Qiang, on behalf of the forces he belongs to in this plane, confirmed the intelligence that the northern neighbor was conducting biochemical military experiments in the Arctic Ocean.

He was recording and filing it in a procedural manner.

Most creatures on Earth are limited by nerves and cannot handle the situation after the body becomes huge. However, as long as the corresponding auxiliary skeleton is implanted, the hollow air sac structure is added inside, and the chip, artificial circuit, muscle electrical stimulation, and nutrient solution injection mechanism are added, it is possible to create such a super-large sea monster.

However, this sea monster technology should not appear here. It is a product of another timeline in this plane. The reason why it appeared is the changes made by other crossing forces.

The iceberg was half destroyed. This big octopus with an oxygen pipeline embedded in its abdomen seemed to realize that it was being monitored by the scientific research ship in the south, stopped the experiment, and dived back into the deep sea.

However, the controller of this sea monster did not know that a fish with electronic equipment was attached to the head of the sea monster, and this thing was secretly sending sonar signals.

On the scientific research ship, Wei Qiang lay on the recliner, looking at the electronic map on the large screen in front of him, and a red dot mark was floating towards the coastline.

The biological base of this sea monster, uh, seems to be located together with the nuclear submarine base of our northern neighbor.

In the main world, on this beautiful day, a tilt-rotor aircraft landed in the school. It was said that the military's national defense students were going to be selected in advance. Many high-ranking personnel came, and many people came to join in the fun. As we watched, some places seemed very empty.

Wei Keng is fishing for a cat, the same guy who robbed him of his sweetness a few days ago. Now it is looking at the skewers in its hand, very wary, but reluctant to leave immediately. Most of the skewers were eaten by Wei Keng, leaving a small piece at the end of the bamboo stick, which was also tied tightly with cotton thread.

The cat came over slowly, suddenly opened its mouth and took a bite, then wanted to retreat, but the barbecue was tied so tightly that it couldn't pull it off.

Wei Keng: "Mimi, be good~~"

Wei Keng continued to shake the skewers like a bad uncle, and at the same time blew a gust of wind with his mouth to let the scent drift towards the cat.

White cat: "Meow~"

Wei Keng: "Meow~"

Wei Keng's eyes became more and more focused, and he kept calculating the distance between his body, hands and the cat. Now when it gets closer, he will be more confident in grabbing the back of its neck.

With a thump, the manhole cover of the sewer shook. The cat was frightened and ran away. Wei Keng realized that there were many people coming behind him.

The cat fishing activity was abandoned halfway, and Wei Keng couldn't help but feel a little resentful.

Standing up and having an unknown fire attack? Sort of, but can't.

A total of four people came, including professors from the school's own disciplines, and people in formal attire who didn't know which department they were from.

However, you are a little surprised to find that the visitor is here to see you?

"Serving? Plane shuttle activities, aren't they a voluntary system?" Wei Keng asked with evasion.

"Two days ago, the new law changed to a compulsory military service system. You are a student funded by a national loan, which just meets the service system." Someone from the Time Travel Manpower Development Committee patiently explained to Wei Keng.

Then the school teacher advised: "If one person joins the army, the whole family will be honored." This tone seemed to be encouraging, but why did it sound like exhortation?

Wei Keng couldn't help but responded: "I'm going to join the army, that means my whole family is joining the army." After saying that, he couldn't help but give himself a sip of milk, "Why do you feel that your family is so loyal?"

The people in the Department of Time and Space must have Wei Keng's information, otherwise they would not pass the review.

After hearing what Wei Keng said, the people from the Ministry of Time and Space said to Wei Keng in a very solemn tone: "This classmate, the organization knows about your family's situation, but the country needs you now. After organizational research, there is such a situation One plan is that as long as one of you or your brother is in danger in the sub-plane, we will do whatever it takes to ensure that one of you leaves the front line."

With such a guarantee from the organization, Wei Keng had no choice but to go along. Together with the other national defense students who were called up, they wore the red flower to celebrate their enlistment. After completing various formalities for suspension of study at the school, they lined up to board the Tilt-rotor aircraft.

Under the organization of the academic staff, many senior students handed over cups of water, then inserted flowers into the buttons on everyone's chest, and finally stuffed an egg into each person's pocket.

This farewell process is said to have originated in the 21st century, which made Wei Keng a little confused. Of course, if they wrap their heads with a floral kerchief, it will be more authentic.

Sitting in the plane, Wei Keng saw the white cat squatting on the treetop outside the window and looking at him, as if to say goodbye to him. The white cat stretched out its paws and licked its lips, then stretched it out and waved it. put. Such a "farewell" action left Wei Keng dumbfounded.

Most of the students recruited this time had very good grades, and Wei Keng was selected at discretion.

There is a reason for this.

In the twenty-seventh century, plane development is still in its initial stages. When exploring various planes, in addition to dispatching personnel on various timelines, permanent nodes must be left after the dispatched personnel return.

These resident nodes have different shapes because the physical rules of each plane are different.

However, the resident nodes in some planes are often locked in the genes of the previous explorer! This creates the actual situation of inheritance across positions.

So in terms of family background, Wei Keng belongs to the second generation on earth.

[Wei Keng’s father’s group of time-travelers did not have this awareness at the beginning. As the first batch, they inadvertently left these ‘inheritable’ things to future generations. 】

Now in the sub-plane world where my father traveled, the organization wants to send a replacement, and he and Wei Qiang are the best candidates! Other travelers who want to go through will face the trouble of accumulating interruptions and having to start over.

Now, in the world where Wei Qiang is preparing to end his mission, there is already a foundation left by his parents for the two of them to join the army and travel here.

Wei Keng's father traveled through time in 1937. The first pot of gold is to export chips, special steels, engines, and electronic control system technologies across dimensions, and then the capital accumulated there can be used to organize production and scientific research. He left that plane as the founder of a large trading enterprise.

In the early exploration process of plane missions, in order to facilitate the launch of the mission, it was necessary to quickly accumulate capital, so many methods could not be said to be just. If capital needs to expand, it must participate in the war.

As a state-supported plane exploration operation, forced trade-offs in order to open up the situation are the norm in time-travel operations.

Four hours later, Wei Keng was assigned to the corresponding training base.

The big red flower on my chest had already flown to that corner along with the billowing air waves when I got off the plane.

After arriving at the assembly point, he received a call from his younger brother across the plane.

Cross-plane calls require special facilities, and the training base is near the gravity wellhead facility in Puhai.

Wei Keng found his destination, lay down in the dormant chamber, connected his brain nerves, and completed the docking of the dream state and the phase particles of the gravity well under the control of the chip.

[The time of the two planes is different, so to complete the call, Wei Keng's consciousness must shield his body perception in dormancy and complete the time synchronization with the other side. ]

After opening his eyes in the dream, Wei Keng saw that he was in a cabin. Before he had time to look at the surrounding environment, Wei Qiang, who was holding a Jingdezhen ceramic tea set in the captain's room, spoke.

Wei Qiang: "My dear brother, I read the comments given to you by your school over there, uh, 'This student is helpful and hardworking', tut tut, such a conventional comment, there should be nothing else to say, I feel that you are not a good student." This crosstalk tone is waiting for Wei Keng to support the joke.

Wei Keng: "It's you, right? You signed me up, right?"

These three questions were like Ma Chao's attack on Cao Cao, exuding resentment. Of course, this resentment was just like oil on the water, just floating on the surface.

While speaking, Wei Keng also confirmed that he was the proportional projection in front of Wei Qiang, because he couldn't pick up the teacup and drink with him.

Wei Qiang also shouted: "Brother, cross-dimensional is very good, drunk on the lap of a beauty, awake in power. If you have tasted that, you will definitely be reluctant to give it up."

Wei Keng: "What beauty's lap, power of the world? I heard that there are conflicts in time and space, and you don't have enough people, right."

Wei Qiang smiled and said nothing.

Wei Keng: "Take care, be careful."

Wei Qiang: "You too."

There is no need to be so lyrical when talking to brothers, as long as they have a tacit understanding.

Wei Qiang had other things to arrange, so he walked to the communication screen and started a fierce conflict with the company's management over the issue of "group successor". Wei Keng had nothing to say and went offline.

Wei Keng looked at the closed screen, looked at the wall, and was stunned for a while.

In this life, Wei Keng actually has his own plan.

Wei Keng: First, spend a hundred years in mediocrity, forget the bad things in the previous life. Forget the self who was pushed to the extreme and could only deal with the world in an extreme way. Then hold on to the simple efforts and hope of self-rebirth in this life, throw off the shackles of the past, and live like yourself.

But, living is often out of your control.
