The next day, I slept very late before getting up. When I walked into the living room, I found that my mother had prepared breakfast. When she saw me coming out, she smiled and said:

"The little lazy bug is getting up! Have some breakfast! Your dad has already gone to the convoy!"

After I quickly washed up, I sat at the dining table and started to eat voraciously. My mother smiled beside me:

"Son, eat slowly, don't choke!"

I nodded in a dim manner, still ate steamed buns in big mouthfuls, occasionally taking a sip of soy milk, my mother shook her head and walked away.

After breakfast, my mother and I greeted me and went back to my room to surf the Internet. After I came back yesterday, I hadn't used this computer. I only found out that the internet speed was quite fast. I don't know how much bandwidth my parents applied for for me. The performance of the computer is OK, and I basically can't feel the difference compared to the technology that was two years ahead of me in my dream.

After downloading a QQ software myself, I logged in to QQ first. As soon as I opened it, several avatars kept flashing. I opened one by one and a Xiaoying left a message. Her family had already installed broadband. This girl left me a message when she got home. The general idea was that she had not yet told her family about the matter between us and asked me to give her some time. In a few days, I went to visit her parents. I smiled and shook my head, and replied to her a few words of encouragement.

There was also Zhang Qing's message. This guy didn't go home for the last holiday and stayed in Chongqing to spend the New Year with his girlfriend. I saw that his avatar was already dim, so I didn't reply.

The last one was sent by Jiang Hongfei, and he said:

"Changfeng, it's time for vacation! I'll contact me when I come back. Didn't you say you want to come to my unit to see it last time?"

My QQ nickname is Changfeng Polang, until my name usually calls me Changfeng. When I see that he is not online, I replied casually:

"I've returned to Fuzhou. When you have time, I'll go over and take a look."

I had long wanted to go back to my unit to check it out. Although no one there knew me, I had the urge to prove history. Although many things in the dream have been confirmed and many history have been changed, I still wanted to see my familiar comrades in the dream and colleagues appeared in that unit with my own eyes. It seemed that I would be at ease and prove that I had lived and worked there, even though it was as illusory as a dream.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Hongfei's reply was sent soon:

"Is that so? Then come here today. We are not very busy lately."

This guy started to play invisibility at any time. I replied quickly:

"Okay! Give me the address..."

Actually, I am very familiar with this address, but according to normal reaction, I should ask this question, so I have to pretend.

Hongfei sent the address, and it was indeed the place I was familiar with, and I said:

"Okay, I'll go out and take the bus."

I walked out of the room and said to my mother:

"Mom! I'll go out for a while and may not come back for lunch! I'll go to my friend's place!"

The mother, who was cleaning, looked up and asked:

"What friends do you have in Fuzhou?"

I smiled and said, "Haha, I know you in the army. An officer from Fuzhou, mom, don't worry about that much, I'll come back tonight!"

After saying that, I walked out the door. Soon, I came to the door of a base where I had been an assistant engineer for a year in my dream. Seeing the familiar door, a strange feeling surged in my heart. Logically, I had never been here, but I was extremely familiar with it, and I was even very familiar with everyone inside.

I raised my foot and walked into the courtyard. The new soldier standing guard stopped me and said:

"Please show your ID!"

I looked closely and immediately recognized the soldier. The soldier was named Wu Shuang. He was from Changzhou, Jiangsu. In my dream, he was a private. Later, he went to learn driving and was transferred to the agency to be a driver. At this time, he was still a private who had just left the company and had a strong sense of responsibility. Although I was wearing military uniform, he still stopped me. I took out the student ID and handed it to him, and said to him with a smile:

"Comrade Xiao, I am your team leader Jiang's friend, and I made an appointment with him."

I know that technical cadres are generally called team leaders in the unit. In my dream, Wu Shuang calls me "Team Leader Lu" and sometimes he secretly runs to my dormitory to surf the Internet.

Wu Shuang didn't buy it at all. He returned the student certificate to me and said:

"I'm sorry, you are not from our unit, I can't let you in. If you are a friend of Team Leader Jiang, please call him and ask him to come out to pick you up."

I walked to the guardhouse helplessly and used their internal phone number to dial Jiang Hongfei's home:

"Hey! Feixiang? I'm Changfeng. I'm at the base gate. Haha, you are stopped by your little soldiers on guard. Come out and pick me up!"

Hongfei smiled and said, "Okay, wait, I'll come down right away."

After a while, I saw Hongfei running down. He looked the same as I did in my dream, with a medium figure, a national face, a pair of big eyes, and thick eyebrows. He looked like a very generous person. In fact, Jiang Hongfei was quite careful and very enthusiastic about his friends.

I had a red card hanging on my shoulders, and I stood at the door very conspicuously. Hongfei saw me from a distance. He smiled and stretched out his hand from afar, holding my hand tightly and said:

"Changfeng, I have been looking forward to you. Thanks to your reminder last time, we extended the backup time to twice as much as before. As a result, we found that the backup module failed for the first time. Fortunately, we recovered it in time, because it was only three days after the backup was completed, and the main module of the device failed. If we did not find the hidden dangers of the backup, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

I understood in my heart that this major accident should have happened, and history still developed according to its original trajectory. However, this accident that many people have been punishing for life was artificially avoided by me. The reason is that I have already learned about this history, and a ridiculous feeling suddenly surged in my heart. I stood blankly, and I didn't know what was thinking in my mind.

When Jiang Hongfei saw me in a daze, he came over and said to me:

"Don't stand here! Come and go to my dormitory to sit!" After saying that, he walked over and said to Wu Shuang:

"This is my friend, don't stop him from entering and leaving in the future..."

Wu Shuang stood attentively and replied, "Yes!" He looked respectful. Now he is still a little recruit. I remember when I was in this unit in my dream, Wu Shuang, as a veteran, had a good relationship with us new cadres. He would joke and occasionally go to our dormitory to play. I felt strange in my heart. I always couldn't tell whether the situation in front of me was real or the situation in my dream was real. If I didn't choose to return here after graduation, then everything in my memory would actually not happen... I feel that I can't stay here for too long, and my head wouldn't stand it after staying for a long time.

This impact is much greater than in the academy. When I was in the academy, although I returned to two years ago, all the environments were still familiar to me. Not only that, the people there were also familiar with me. I would not be as close as here. I was psychologically close to my comrades and colleagues in the unit and regarded them as my brothers. However, they did not know me yet. In their eyes, I was just a stranger, and this psychological gap was very large.

Hongfei led me to his dormitory. The treatment of the base cadres was pretty good. When a new cadre came down, he could all be assigned a dormitory in the camp, and his salary was a little higher than that of ordinary troops. He had various subsidies for working at the base. In my dream, I lived next to Hongfei. When I arrived at the door of Hongfei's house, I suddenly pointed to the place where I originally lived and asked:

"Feixiang, who lives in this house?"

Over the past few days, I have become accustomed to calling his online name. Hongfei said while taking the key:

"No one lives there yet. Maybe new cadres will be assigned to come down this summer. Then the new cadres should live there!"

I nodded, suppressed my urge to go in and take a look, followed Hongfei to his room, Hongfei put the key and said:

"Sit as you like, the room is messy, and the bachelors are like this, there is no way..."

I said to myself: "You will find a girlfriend next year, and you will report to get married like lightning..."

We chatted for a while, and I couldn't help asking:

"Feixiang, I want to go to your computer room to see if it's done? I'm more interested in the kind of equipment you mentioned last time."

Hongfei pondered for a moment and said in embarrassment:

"According to regulations, outsiders cannot be brought in to the tunnel, but you are a soldier, and last time thanks to your suggestion, we avoided a vicious accident. Let's do this. Now the director is working inside. I call in and ask for instructions. If the director disagrees, I will..."

I continued with a smile: "If you don't agree, then forget it."

Actually, I just want to go in and see the equipment I was in charge of before. They were as friendly as my old friend. And I had a vague premonition in my heart that I might not return to work in this unit in the future, although my own wish is still to come back to work.

Jiang Hongfei called the computer room, and after some requests, he smiled and said:

"The director agrees, I'll take you there now!"

We walked along the path covered by green trees for about five minutes and arrived at the entrance of the tunnel. Hongfei gently rang the doorbell and waved to the camera. After about five seconds, the door of the tunnel opened with a "click". I knew very well that this door switch was controlled in the duty room. The on-duty officer could monitor the images of more than a dozen cameras in front of the desk. After someone outside rang the doorbell, the on-duty officer could easily see who was ringing the bell.

It was familiar that the tunnel was brightly lit, and the entire tunnel was decorated quite well, with a beautiful ceiling, a row of neat fluorescent lights illuminated the tunnel as bright as day, and the walls on both sides were also white. We walked in along the long tunnel, and after a turn, I vaguely heard the roar of familiar equipment, and the director came out in person. In my dream, he was transferred to the base office a few months after I arrived at this unit.

The director enthusiastically stretched out his hand and said, "You are Changfeng! I heard from Xiao Jiang that last time you suggested that we pay attention to the backup module, which allowed us to avoid a major accident!"

I smiled and shook hands with the director and said:

"Actually, it's nothing. I'm quite interested in these things. After meeting Hongfei online, he provided me with some information. I also gave some immature opinions casually, haha!"

The director said: "You are still a student in school, that's all. It's not simple! How about it? Are you interested in coming to our unit after graduation? I can suggest to your leader and send a letter to your school and ask you directly."

I thought about it and said, "I haven't thought about where I will go in the future yet. Haha, maybe I will really do it under your command in the future!"

I can't be sure where I will be in the future now. I feel that I may not be able to come back for various reasons, and this feeling is getting stronger and stronger. I think the history here has begun to deviate from its original trajectory since the accident was avoided. I don't know where it will go.

I remember hearing the theory about the butterfly effect before. I think that if history is changed partially, it will inevitably lead to changes in the overall situation. Now I don’t want to think too much about these questions. As long as I am a soldier, I will fulfill my mission. No matter where the history goes, I am a soldier of the Republic, and this will not change. Also, Xiaoying, no matter how it changes, I will not leave her, even if the past history proves that she and I will be separated.

The director took me to visit the entire computer room, constantly explaining the performance and uses of these equipment to me, and also introducing me to the layout of the tunnel. In fact, I am very familiar with these things. In my dream, I spent almost half a year on duty and maintenance in this tunnel. However, I still looked very excited and asked some questions from time to time.

After visiting my old guys, the director was about to get off work, he said:

"Xiao Lu will have dinner together in our canteen at noon! Everyone belongs to the army, not outsiders."

I thought about it and said, "Thank you, Director. I'd better go back and eat. My parents are waiting for me to have a meal!"

Actually, I really want to have dinner here, because I can see almost all the comrades I miss in the canteen, but because of this, I also feel a sense of fear in my heart. I am afraid that my brain will not be able to stand seeing my comrades. It is conceivable that the group of veterans who had already retired in my dream must have just been promoted to the top corps at this time, and they have to serve here for one year! I saw the veterans who personally sent the train back to their hometown in the canteen. How strange is this scene? So I thought about it and refused the invitation from the director. Today I have achieved my goal. I came back to see my colleagues and my "old guys", and have confirmed that the units and comrades in my dreams do exist.

The director kept a few words, but when I saw that I had a firm opinion, he stopped forcing me. He told Hongfei to take me out and told me to come and play when I have time. Naturally, I agreed. In fact, I knew in my heart that I would never come again, unless I could return to this unit as I wished.
Chapter completed!
