Chapter 325: Chapter 325: The Spring Festival Gala of the 1980s

Someone moved a large box off the truck.

Qiao Qingyu also looked curiously and, lo and behold, it was a color television.

So the color television was placed on the TV stand in the living room.

It took quite an effort to purchase this color television, over two months of time, visiting several places before it finally arrived in Yun City.

Once the power was connected and the antenna adjusted, Qiao Qingyu watched the Spring Festival Gala of the 1980s.

Thus, Rongrong, Doudou, and Feifei didn’t go anywhere, sitting on the sofa, their eyes almost glued to the screen. Rongrong had seen television before, but it was black and white, and not very large, so the impression wasn’t vivid. By the time she arrived at the base, the power supply was insufficient, often leading to outages, especially at night, and even more so in winter. Radios and cassette players were one thing, but television sets were easily damaged.

Moreover, due to being so remote, the signal reception was much weaker, which is why no one at the base bought televisions.

Naturally, even Rongrong, who thought she had seen much of the world, couldn’t tear her eyes away from the TV.

Wu Xiucai called He Xiuyu into his study, opened a wooden box, and said, "Here are the books and some documents you need. I’ve gotten them for you."

He Xiuyu took out the books and documents from the box and glanced over them quickly, a hint of surprise flashing across his forehead.

He said with genuine gratitude, "Grandfather-in-law, I really can’t thank you enough."

"What’s there to thank me for?" Wu Xiucai responded, "You’re my granddaughter’s husband; isn’t it natural for me to help out a little?" Then, pointing to the books and documents on the table, he said, "Xiu Yu, theoretically speaking, our country already had related documents more than a thousand years ago. Myths and legends, achieving immortality, gathering herbs, refining elixirs—they all boil down to venturing to another world. But to this day, although the theory keeps expanding, no real results have been achieved."

He Xiuyu nodded and said, "The times are evolving, and so is science. Furthermore, the goal of science is not necessarily to find the existence of another space. However, if we can unlock the code of time, we will welcome a new era."

Wu Xiucai was very interested in this topic and after discussing it with He Xiuyu for a while, he continued, "Some say that the end of science is theology, and I think there’s some truth to that. By the way, do you know the surname of Wu Hong’s maternal grandfather?"

He Xiuyu had done his research and replied, "Zhang, with a long bow—Zhang."

"Right, the Long Bow Zhangs. Naturally, they also originated from our Huaxia. I just remembered the other day that old Master Zhang Xuanzi’s ancestors are said to be related to the renowned celestial masters of Taoism."

He Xiuyu put down the book in his hand, sat opposite old Master Wu Xiucai, knowing he wouldn’t mention this out of the blue.

"I’m not sure if Wu Hong’s gesture is a simple act of goodwill or if there’s a conspiracy behind it, but I’ve heard that their family knows some Taoist practices and possesses some secret techniques. Apparently, they didn’t leave Huaxia due to the chaos of war but because they had offended someone and had to leave. Now that their enemies are gone, they’re preparing to return to Huaxia."

Wu Xiucai had his sources of intelligence, and they were all the latest.

"Are they all coming back?" asked He Xiuyu, frowning slightly. If Wu Hong were to return, then Liu Ge would naturally come back as well.

"I’m not sure about that," replied Wu Xiucai. "I suppose if they have the capabilities, they will return to this land."

Then, leaning forward, Wu Xiucai lowered his voice and said, "Xiu Yu, I’ve heard that the Old Zhang Family’s ancestors had a Transmission Array that required a significant amount of Energy Stones to activate and needed eighteen powerful individuals to operate. It’s said that this Transmission Array could transport people to another world."

"Another world? What kind of world would that be?" asked He Xiuyu, truly astonished by how much the old man knew.

Seeing He Xiuyu’s expression, Wu Xiucai curled his lips smugly and said, "I know you’re a scientist and you don’t believe in these things, but you can think of it this way—as if the Transmission Array, like these books and documents you wanted, could be understood as a gateway through space and time. Perhaps it has already deciphered the code of time you mentioned, opening the gates to a higher-dimensional world. As for what the Immortal Realm or Divine Realm is, I’m not so sure, but I believe in the existence of higher intelligences. We humans are not alone in this universe, so despite the different terminologies, the ultimate paths might converge."

He Xiuyu pondered these thoughts, actually working on deciphering the secrets of the Space Device at the moment.

Wu Xiucai took out a document and whispered, "This is a so-called secret document from Country M. Of course, whether it’s real or fake remains to be seen. But look at these photos; if higher intelligences truly exist, they have indeed visited Earth before."

He Xiuyu scrutinized the document and said somberly, "This is indeed a classified file, but with a nation like Country M that blurs truth and fiction, you never know what they’re up to. Sometimes, they deliberately release such misinformation to deceive other countries, allowing them to reap greater benefits."

Wu Xiucai nodded in agreement.

"Grandfather-in-law, this information can hardly be called top secret, as I’ve also happened to see it. It’s likely a sham designed to mislead, and from the perspective of cytology and biology, such life forms wouldn’t possess high intelligence."

The old man nodded, "You make sense, but I’m telling you all this so that you and Qingyu can be careful. Those with such abilities always consider themselves superior. While they appear to value cause and effect in their dealings, they are ruthless in pursuing their own benefits."

He Xiuyu nodded solemnly; gathering this information and documents could take Director Lin some time and would not be easy.

He hadn’t expected the old man to have already considered this.

He Xiuyu placed the items back in the box, not very large, so when leaving, he could simply put all the books and documents into a leather bag.

Then, he helped the old man into the living room, from quite a distance away, and heard the laughter emanating from there.

It seemed the entertainment programs on TV were indeed serving their purpose to the fullest.

Everything sounded lovely, and every program was worth watching.

Wu Qianyun decided to bring the noodle board to the living room and started making dumplings with her daughter-in-law and daughter.

After watching TV for a while, the old man saw that the dumpling-making was lively, so he rolled up his sleeves and joined in.
