Bai Yujing came out of the room and saw Old Wu waiting outside. Upon seeing Bai Yujing, he immediately walked over and said, "Bai Yujing, I'm sorry for the wait. This is all part of the process; I hope you can understand!"
"Of course! It's late at night, and I really appreciate you waiting for me!" Bai Yujing quickly replied.
Old Wu shook his head. "It's not just me waiting for you; there are quite a few others who are eager to see you. The people at the research institute have been looking forward to your arrival!"
"Oh!" At this late hour, Bai Yujing hadn't expected the scientists to be so anxious. He quickly entered an elevator, and after Old Wu pressed his fingerprint and swiped a card, they saw the elevator descend.
At that moment, Old Wu asked, "So, did Xiao Zhao take you around the base?"
Bai Yujing immediately responded, "No, no! I didn't dare to wander around; it's better to know less about this place!"
Old Wu laughed heartily. "It's not that serious! Aside from a few launch sites that you can't approach or view freely, there aren't that many restrictions in other areas of the base. The restricted areas are off-limits to you anyway!"
The elevator doors opened, and they stepped into a large hall. Bai Yujing noticed many people in military uniforms and Zhongshan suits walking around, while there were relatively few in lab coats. This was different from what he had imagined; he thought most researchers would be wearing lab coats and masks.
"This way, this way!" Old Wu led the way and waved to Bai Yujing. Following him, they walked inside through an automatic door and stood on a circular balcony. This was a passageway with many people coming and going or standing above looking down, operating computers to control certain instruments and conduct observations.
Looking down, Bai Yujing saw a group of men and women averaging around forty years old gathered around a control panel, continuously debating something. A large screen displayed a hexagonal Rhombus that looked almost identical to the Magnetite Bai Yujing had brought back from Europe!
However, there was still a slight difference from the genuine Magnetite. Bai Yujing noticed that the Magnetite on the screen also had lines appearing inside it as if it had been activated but dimmed instantly as soon as its power was activated; the light extinguished before it could even escape!
"Ah, another failure! What is going wrong?"
"The photons escaped; we can't contain them at all! How did those Atlantian manage to do it?"
"Everyone needs to study this further; there must be something we've overlooked!"
"If only we could understand what they're saying down there! Just watching the visuals and guessing makes it easy to miss some key information!"
"Old Sun! Old Sun!" As soon as Old Wu entered, he called out to an elderly man standing in the center below. The old man turned around and immediately focused on Old Wu before noticing Bai Yujing approaching.
“Old Wu, this must be Comrade Bai Yujing, right? We've been waiting for you for a long time, just like waiting for the stars and the moon!” The old man immediately stepped forward, his face full of smiles.
Old Wu quickly introduced Bai Yujing: “This is the base's Deputy Commander, Sun Hongqi!”
Bai Yujing had never met such a high-ranking official before; the title of Commander sounded intimidating: “Hello, Sun Hongqi, I am Bai Yujing!”
Sun Hongqi immediately shook hands with Bai Yujing: “No need for that, this Sun Hongqi sounds like a warlord, not good, not good!”
“Then I’ll just call you Sun Lao! Since I came here, what do you need? Just let me know!” Bai Yujing was not here for nothing; first, this matter was something he couldn't refuse. No matter how impressive he was, he couldn't outmatch someone of higher authority. Moreover, if he wanted to make a name for himself abroad, it was better to have the backing of a powerful country. Coming here also allowed him to meet many people, which would be beneficial for networking in the future. He was here to help, and someone had to owe him a favor.
Furthermore, the people present may seem unremarkable at first glance, but their influence far exceeded his imagination. They were about the same age as Bai Yujing's grandfather, so he had no right to act arrogantly.
“Alright, I happen to have something I need you for. We haven't been able to sleep well these past few days; we've been waiting for you!”
“Come on, play that video again!”
Bai Yujing was pushed to the front of the large screen and seated. Immediately, Old Wu brought over a notebook while everyone lowered their heads to look at Bai Yujing, making him feel somewhat uneasy under all those gazes.
“Come on, whatever you hear later, write it down in the notebook!” Old Wu said immediately.
Sun Hongqi added: “Yes, pause after each sentence and translate slowly; don’t miss anything!”
Bai Yujing nodded: “Okay, but the grammar of Atlantis Language is very different from ours. Translating it into Chinese will definitely lead to some discrepancies in meaning; it won't be that faithful or elegant!”
Sun Hongqi nodded: “We understand that; as long as you can convey the general meaning, that’s good enough. This Atlantis Language, we really can’t find anyone who understands it now!”
Bai Yujing leaned over the table as the large screen began playing a documentary about Atlantis. The figure of Great Sage Jing appeared on screen, exactly as Bai Yujing had seen before.
“Everyone quiet down! No noise!” Sun Hongqi shouted loudly. Everyone fell silent except for Bai Yujing, who focused intently on the screen.
As Bai Yujing watched the story unfold, he began to explain: “The figure appearing on screen is known as the Great Sage by the Atlantian. She was the first to invent Magnetite, advancing the development of Atlantis Civilization, allowing Atlantis to truly enter the era of interstellar navigation.”
"Atlantis distinguished ancient civilizations from interstellar civilizations by using the Star Calendar when entering the Interstellar Era. The development of Magnetite occurred in the year 121 of the Star Calendar..."
"Photons are the fundamental particles that transmit Electromagnetic Interaction; they are a type of gauge boson. Photons carry electromagnetic radiation and inherently contain immense energy. If this energy can be harnessed, it would provide an unimaginably vast source of power, inexhaustible and easily obtainable even in the vastness of space!"
"However, energy photons are a form of supermatter that is difficult to utilize. How to harness and bind them has become a..."
The ancient documents from Atlantis were quite lengthy, with pauses and interruptions throughout. The experts were persistently questioning Bai Yujing, grabbing his arm as they pressed for details. At times, their passionate discussions nearly escalated into arguments.
Seeing these elderly experts passionately debating late into the night, full of energy, made Bai Yujing feel a deep respect for them.
It was only when dawn broke that Bai Yujing completed his work. By then, he felt somewhat fatigued, while the experts immediately dove back into their tasks with great enthusiasm. The results he had just translated provided them with significant inspiration, and no one seemed inclined to take a break.
After discussing tasks with several colleagues, Sun Hongqi came over to shake Bai Yujing's hand. "Thank you very much for your help. I feel bad that you traveled such a long way and immediately started working without rest!"
"No, no! It's your dedication as experts that I admire! Oh, right!"
Bai Yujing suddenly remembered something and took out a thick stack of documents from his backpack. "This is a dictionary of Atlantis Language that I spent some time organizing at home. I thought you might find it useful. Based on my previous explorations, Antarctica should not only contain the Poseidonia ruins; there are likely many other cities related to Atlantis. In fact, not just in Antarctica but possibly all over the world. I believe these documents could be helpful to you!"
"The technology of Atlantis far exceeds our imagination; it is referred to as Light Civilization. Magnetite utilizes their core technology, but their other technological advancements are also what we desire. Your dictionary is incredibly important!" Sun Hongqi exclaimed joyfully as he held the folded documents.
"Once you go up, Xiao Zhao will be waiting for you. He will guide you to the accommodation area. Please stay here for a few more days; there may still be some unclear areas where we will need your assistance. Also, let Xiao Zhao show you around!"
