“I meant what do you think this action implies?” Chen Yekai said.

Yu Hao said, “It’s a bit like putting a crown on someone during a coronation.”
Chen Yekai said, “But the height of the hand isn’t right, it’s not above the head but……here.” As he spoke, he pulled Zhou Sheng down slightly and placed Zhou Sheng’s hands on both sides of his temple, “This clearly isn’t the action of placing a crown.”
“It’s obvious that something is missing.” Zhou Sheng muttered.
Chen Yekai said, “The bronze people are all very small; they’re about the size of two fingers. Several bronze men appeared in a small altar in the deepest parts of the world at the same time. This altar is a very important altar; it’s situated at the core, and the deepest part of the entire 24-Bridge ruins. There’s also a mural behind the altar, but unfortunately, it’s no longer discernible. It’s been more than 3,600 years.”
Zhou Sheng watched Yu Hao, and Yu Hao instantly thought of something.
“That……the bronze man was holding the Golden Crow Wheel!” Yu Hao said, “He placed it on the other person’s head……”
“To be exact, he looped it outside the head, like a halo suspended in mid air.” Chen Yekai added.

Zhou Sheng said, “Which means they knew that the Golden Crow Wheel had something to do with people’s thoughts.”
Chen Yekai said, “Within the entire archaeological process of the 24-Bridge, this is the only riddle that remains unsolved. If the murals behind the three bronze men could be restored, then there might be more clues, but it seems unlikely at this point in time. Last but not least is the STA. The STA’s report is contained in the letter, you can take a look.”
“Material, alloy.” Zhou Sheng muttered, “Electronic image……”
Chen Yekai said, “The outcome of their examination was that inside it, there’s a ring-shaped device, a speck, as well as extremely complex nano-optical fiber connections in other places……”
“Fuck!” Zhou Sheng opened the letter and took out an image — it was a black and white picture, revealing a blurry ring image in the Golden Crow Wheel.
Chen Yekai said, “My junior was very excited and fervently requested to take a look at it, but of course, I rejected him.”
Yu Hao was instantly flabbergasted. Chen Yekai continued, “What do you think this is?”
“This is a computer?” Zhou Sheng looked at the intricate lines at the top of the Golden Crow Wheel and murmured, “Why do I feel like it’s alive?”
Yu Hao instantly felt that it seemed a bit horrifying. He stared apprehensively at the Golden Crow Wheel in the envelope that was the size of a dial —— everything was as per normal.

“A computer?” Chen Yekai said, “They speculate that these, this drop of liquid, could be its energy source, like button batteries.”

“It wasn’t switched out.” Zhou Sheng said, “It’s still the same Wheel, I can sense it.”

Zhou Sheng placed it in his palm and showed it to Yu Hao. Yu Hao touched it gently, and at that moment, he felt it, like an intuition — that was telling him, ‘this is the Golden Crow Wheel’.
Zhou Sheng tossed the Golden Crow Wheel up and down, “You didn’t need to return it to me.”
“No.” Chen Yekai said, “What prompted me to bring it back was something my junior said — he speculated that this is like a mini supercomputer……of course, he was very excited and suspected it was a device left behind on earth by some extraterrestrial civilization, and that if the research results were published, maybe the entire history of the human civilization would be rewritten……”
“……but, almost all computers will have a login password.”
“I see.” Zhou Sheng muttered.
Chen Yekai said, “The following is just my personal speculation. Don’t you think the principle is similar to mobile phones and laptops? Mobile phones can be unlocked through fingerprint or facial recognition, then if we change the method……”

“Unlocking it through brain waves!” Yu Hao said.
“Yes.” Chen Yekai said, “If this device can read brain waves, then it can naturally be unlocked by brain waves as well. I think, since only you can use it, that means that in a sense, it belongs to you. It’s your personal property. Only you can activate it, and any further research would require your cooperation. I think we must respect the intention of its owner no matter which standpoint we view this from.”
Yu Hao said, “This is really too miraculous! This……can we contact aliens through it?”
Zhou Sheng didn’t speak for a moment.
Chen Yekai smiled, “So what if we could? And you should have more caution, what if the aliens come to Earth and commit some sort of large-scale massacre……”
There was a knock on the door. Zhou Sheng immediately put away the Golden Crow Wheel. Liang Jinmin came in, holding several books and said, “I think I should put a few bottles of wine here. What are you guys talking about? Large-scale massacre?”
Yu Hao was a little nervous, but Liang Jinmin didn’t seem any different. Zhou Sheng just said, “We’re talking about what we should do if we manage to contact aliens someday.”

Liang Jinmin answered, “That’s not a good idea, I suggest you don’t do it.”
Chen Yekai laughed, “Let’s eat ba.”
