This is the site of a time travel experiment in Japan.
At the same time as Z and their experiment, on the morning of July 16, 2007, in Niigata Prefecture in northwestern Japan, there are two artificial caves made of reinforced concrete on a small hill. The two caves are about 800 meters apart, with one opening facing northeast and the other facing southeast.
In the middle of the two caves, more than forty people passed in front of four young men with white ribbons on their heads in turn, shaking hands and saying goodbye to them. The white band was marked with the word "Surely win".
"Mr. Yamamoto, please!"
"Mr. Okamura, the hope of the empire lies in you!"
"Mr. Ono, I really envy you!"
"Tanaka-kun, it's up to you to build the great land of the King's way!"
These four are the people who were to be sent back to World War II in a time and space experiment prepared by a right-leaning group in Japan for more than a year. They were selected from hundreds of young people through rigorous training and assessment.
After shaking hands, the old man would pat the young man on the shoulder, and the four young men would only say, "Hey!" "Hey!" A constant bow. Fortunately, all four of them were extremely strong, and after bowing several hundred times and having their shoulders tapped countless times, they were still able to assume a powerful posture and split into two groups to enter the artificial cave. Inside each of the caves was a large steel ball made of tungsten alloy high-temperature resistant high-strength steel, which was the time travel capsule. The inner diameter of the steel balls was 1.25 meters, and they could fit two people inside. There is a huge amount of explosives piled up outside the steel ball. If the Effery space-time theory is correct, as soon as the explosives explode, the steel ball and the contents inside will go back to seventy-nine or eighty years ago.
This spherical "time travel capsule" has been precisely calculated and designed: it must be able to withstand the tremendous pressure and high temperature during an explosion. The total pressure is directly related to the outer diameter of the sphere. If the diameter of the sphere doubles, the total pressure will quadruple and the thickness of the sphere wall will quadruple accordingly. As a result, the weight of the ball is greatly increased, the amount of explosives required is greatly increased, and the pressure of the explosion is also greatly increased, which in turn requires the wall thickness of the ball to be increased...
So the material used to make the time-travel capsule should be strong at high temperatures and as light as possible in itself. And, with the current level of materials science, this "time travel capsule" can be made as small as 1.5 meters in inner diameter.
That would fit a maximum of one or two people inside. If a person is short, they can fit into a sphere with an inner diameter of 70 centimeters, but at the same time, nothing else can be placed inside. The right wing group designed a double cross cabin with an inner diameter of 1.25 meters to carry something necessary and to ensure a certain level of safety for the sphere.
On a small hill in Niigata Prefecture, the designer of the time-travel capsule is nervously directing the time-travel experiment on the spot. In fact, all those involved in the planning and preparation of this time and space experiment, that is to say, all the people in the right-wing organization who knew about this event, came to the scene to watch. How much they were looking forward to the success of the experiment! Though they themselves can't go back to the past, at least they want to see this historical scene on the spot!
At 10:0am local time in Japan, two artificial caves burst in a huge explosion. More than 40 people who watched the send-off were hiding in a large cave that was in the shape of the two caves.
The large cave, which is a weapons depot, has now been cleared in the front part to provide temporary shelter for the people seeing them off, as they have to wait at the site for the outcome. It is planned that after the explosion, excavators prepared outside the site will start working to confirm the success of the test.
But an unexpected accident occurred: the explosion triggered an earthquake in Niigata Prefecture! The explosion did not shake the large cave much, at least not beyond the pre-calculated level. But the cave shook more violently amid the cheers of the people seeing it off. Finally, a box for detonators, which had been temporarily moved deep into the cave to make room in front and piled up high up, shook and fell down. The detonator in the box exploded, causing the other shells and explosives in the cave to explode together. On average, each of the people seeing them off could spread out 250 kilograms of TNT equivalent explosives.
The explosion of the spacetime test caused an earthquake in the area partly because the tungsten alloy steel balls were quite heavy and required a considerable amount of explosives; And when two were sent at the same time, the explosion was even greater; But the main reason is that Japan is full of seismic zones and is prone to earthquakes in itself! There's no way around it. It's God's arrangement.
At the same time as the farewell ceremony for the time-travel experiment in Japan, in the cave of Wuyi Mountain, only the only assistant of the experiment, who also served as the farewell and prepared for the aftermath, the King Kong, who directed the experiment, and the protagonist of the time-travel, Mr. Z, was nowhere to be seen.
King Kong glanced at his phone. It was almost nine o 'clock. "Why hasn't this little Z come back yet?" "Didn't he say he would go down to Ganxi Town to go to the Internet cafe and send a farewell email to his friends and family and then come back?" he thought. .
But it's almost nine o 'clock and I remember the stock market is about to open again. I wonder if his stock will go up or down today? Last year he invested one million in stocks, and now it has become more than two and a half million. The daily ups and downs are just tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan for him. "What a pity this place doesn't even have a mobile phone signal!"
The cave is located on the Jiangxi Shangrao side of Wuyi Mountain, more than 200 kilometers from Jingdezhen, but it is the nearest sparsely populated mountain area to Jingdezhen. It's really not easy to find a place with few people in Jiangxi now.
The cave is only about 30 kilometers away from Ganxi Town, but since it is mountainous, there is no mobile phone signal here. So he couldn't see the stock market and couldn't get in touch with Little Z. "It's all this damn little Z! If my stocks lose because of this, it's all up to Little Z to pay!" But he knew it was just a curse, because the one million in stock trading was given to him by little Z, and it saved his company at its most difficult time.

Liu Yi, nicknamed King Kong, and Zhang Yong, nicknamed Little Z, are completely different types of people. If they hadn't sat at the same table for three years in high school, they would never have become friends. There was a huge disparity in their family backgrounds: Zhang Yong's grandfather was an old Red Army soldier, a high-ranking official, and his father was a big boss, a rich man; Liu Yi's family was just an ordinary one.
Liu Yi is from Ningbo. His parents belong to the generation that encountered difficulties when they were growing up, the Cultural Revolution when they should be studying, going to the countryside when they should be working, family planning when they got married, and being laid off when they needed to take care of their old age. My father was a member of the third batch of the Cultural Revolution. After graduation, he went to the Production and Construction Corps in Heilongjiang Province. After the Cultural Revolution, he returned to the city and worked as a welder at the Ningbo Boiler Factory. He worked hard on his skills, not only buying books on welding equipment and techniques, but also on boiler design and mechanical processing to teach himself, and became a well-known technical expert in the factory.
Liu Yi's mother, who was sent to the countryside during the Cultural Revolution, became a "barefoot doctor" in the production team after several months of training. After returning to the city, she entered the Ningbo Dachang Cloth Factory and worked in the factory's medical room. The older men who returned to the city had nothing to complain about. If they took a fancy to each other, they got married and had children, and Liu Yi was born.
This was an ordinary family, so they also encountered the ordinary things that ordinary people would encounter: when Liu Yi was in the third year of junior high school, his parents were laid off one after another. Liu Yi's father set up a bicycle repair stall on the street three days after he was laid off.
The hardship of life can be imagined, which made Liu Yi very sensible. Not only was he thrifty, but he would also come to the stall to help fix bicycles after school. As a result, Liu Yi's academic performance was not affected much. He was admitted to a key high school in the high school entrance examination, Ningbo No.1 High School by Xingning Bridge. A year later, Xu's father opened an appliance repair shop that also repaired watches and made keys. Mother also found a job as a clerk in a drugstore. It wasn't hard, but the work was long and far from home. So Liu Yi also went to his father's repair shop to eat and do his homework after school. When his father went out to repair, Liu Yi would look after the shop and serve customers. To serve customers, of course, one needs to know some repair skills, so he also learned various repair skills, and later was able to help fix clocks and appliances.
Zhang Yong grew up in a military compound in Nanjing. His grandfather was an eighth Route soldier, a division-level cadre of the Nanjing Military Region, who retired at the end of the Cultural Revolution. Zhang Yong's father became a soldier in the Beijing Military Region through connections during the Cultural Revolution. The soldiers of that time were different from those of today. According to Zhang Yong himself, they "danced the loyalty dance for a few years."
The year after the end of the Cultural Revolution, Gao's father, who was then a deputy company commander, asked to leave the military himself and started a business in Beijing with the children of several high-ranking officials. They got some "notes" from their father's comrades-in-arms and made a lot of money in business. Grandpa Gao was so angry about his discharge that he almost denied the son because he was suspected of evading the fight against Vietnam. But it was an injustice to the son, for he had no idea that war was coming when he got discharged.
After three years of running a business together, they had what seemed like a large sum of money at the time, and most of them had the idea of taking profits. So they broke up, and some of them went abroad, and some retired early to enjoy life. Anyway, the money was enough for a lifetime. Mr. Gao, however, went on with his business, because he still had some employees under him. When the bosses broke up the company, the employees suddenly had a hard time finding work. He started a company on his own and later expanded it into several companies. Real estate, import and export, industrial factories, companies that make money, business mainly in Beijing.
When Zhang Yong was one year old, his father took him to visit his grandfather's home in a military compound in Nanjing. His grandparents, who had been idle at home after retirement, were very happy and asked the child to "stay for a few more days".
This stay lasted for more than ten years: initially because his parents were busy with business, and the quality of the kindergarten in the military compound was decent, and most importantly, it was conducive to easing and communicating with the old man. So they agreed to let the child stay in Nanjing and move to Beijing when he was about to start primary school.
But before Zhang Yong could start primary school, two years later things changed. Zhang Yong's father encountered what often happens to the rich: he accidentally got a mistress pregnant. So he divorced Zhang Yong's mother and Zhang Yong went with his father. Two months after the divorce, Zhang had a stepmother, and half a year later, a younger brother.
Zhang Yong's mother, who was divided into tens of millions of assets (including two companies), also got married two years later. Zhang Yong has been living with his grandfather, seeing his father and mother only a few times a year. Perhaps influenced by the environment of the military compound, Zhang Yong became a military enthusiast.
Zhang Yong did poorly in the high school entrance examination (which was actually a little better than his normal level) and failed to get into a key high school. His father wanted him to attend a prestigious high school, but his grandfather wouldn't agree; His father refused to let him go to a regular high school like a group of classmates in the military compound. At this time, an old comrade-in-arms of his grandfather in Ningbo came to see him and gave them an idea: to go to a key high school in Ningbo. The old comrade-in-arms' son was a high-ranking official in Ningbo, and he had long wanted to invite Grandpa Gao to live there.
In this way, through connections, Zhang Yong's father paid the "school selection fee", and Zhang Yong was admitted to Ningbo No.1 High School. Zhang Yong's father also paid a visit to the colonel's home, asking him to pay more attention to Zhang Yong's studies. The school leaders asked the head teacher to find a good student to be Zhang Yong's deskmate. So Liu Yi became Zhang Yong's deskmate.
