The super-torus detection equipment behind the tempered glass emits extremely dazzling light when running at full load, so a special polarization fence is installed on the glass in the hall.

When Anderson and his soldiers came in, the polarization grille was closed, so the hall was softly lit. The dutiful officer focused most of his attention on whether there would be resistance from the on-site personnel, for example, whether someone would take advantage of the chaos to pull a small pistol out of a drawer.

He didn't expect the real accident to be light, and he couldn't be blamed for that. After all, the preparations for this operation were quite hasty, and even the fleet command could not figure out the entire structure of this hall.

The glare emitted by the hyper-torus detector is not deadly, but it just makes it impossible for the unprepared to see anything for the time being. The two soldiers who were about to capture Xu Yongzhi were too late to react. They pounced with their eyes closed, but only for a short time. Professor Xu ran away at the first moment.

Lieutenant Colonel Anderson cursed so hard that he had to lie on the ground and hide behind a table to barely avoid the glare light. In about a minute, the commander's eyesight gradually returned.

The scene was a mess, and the entire hall was so bright and white that it was almost impossible to see anything. The Colonel could barely see that there was a researcher next to him, holding his head and trembling.

"Close it!" he snarled as he pulled out his pistol against the researcher's head, "or you'll die!"

His roar worked, and under the threat of death, the researcher begged, "I'll go close, don't kill me." ”

"Go!"

As if he had been pardoned, the researcher crawled up to Professor Xu's command platform and slapped a black switch. Although the light was too dazzling to look up, the position of the polarizing fence switch was prominent, and he remembered where it was.

The light is finally back to normal.

Colonel Anderson climbed up and directed the soldiers to restore order and search for Professor Xu Yongzhi's whereabouts. He wasn't worried about his target running away, as the central hall was located on the tenth basement floor, with only two elevators and an escape staircase leading to the ground level.

Before he entered, he cautiously ordered several soldiers to block the two exits. The colonel interrogated the communication, and the soldiers blocking the entrance confirmed that no one had left.

Professor Xu Yongzhi must still be here, but the entire hall has been searched and nothing has been found. Anderson commanded the soldiers and drove all the researchers together.

"Where is he hiding?" the Colonel asked, standing in front of dozens of researchers, with a blank face.

The researchers in white coats were at a loss, but no one answered his questions.

Anderson raised his pistol and slammed a female researcher in front of him. The female researcher didn't react at all, she opened her eyes unwillingly, and slowly collapsed.

The colleague who was still communicating just now fell to the ground with a bloody hole in his eyebrows. The researchers were immediately frightened by the encounter, and they hugged each other, some of them crying quietly.

The colonel grabbed another researcher in his hand, put a gun to his head, and asked again, "Where is he hiding?"

The hapless fellow was so frightened that tears flowed out along with urine, and he was shaking too much to stand still.

"I don't know, I don't know, please don't kill me!" he cried and pleaded.

Lieutenant Colonel Anderson pouted, ready to shoot him directly. At this moment, a blond-haired man stepped forward among the researchers.

"No, you can't do that, sir!" the blonde man stood in front of his colleague, "no war can hurt scientists." ”

Colonel Anderson twitched his cheek unexpectedly because of the blonde man's thick Texas accent.

"Are you a citizen of the United States?" he spat at the mouth, "You actually serve Huaguo, traitor!"

"I'm not serving China. The blonde man retorted loudly, "We are all in the service of the development of all mankind!"

The colonel wiped his face. At this time, he finally realized that the researchers on the scene came from almost all over the world, and they had any skin color and hair color. Intelligence believes that this is a secret research base in China, but this is clearly not the case.

"Okay. The colonel put away his gun, "your name." ”

He was a soldier and could not shoot his own citizens.

"I'm Darren. ”

"Darren. The colonel patted him on the shoulder, "If you want to save your fellow scientists, you must help us find Professor Xu Yongzhi." I promise you, we'll take him alone. Otherwise, all of us, including you and me, will die here. ”

The Mi army is secretly operating on the soil of China, and the longer it drags on, the more dangerous it becomes. Once detected by the Chinese military, they will die with no place to bury.

But the Joint Command ordered death, and they had to bring back Professor Xu Yongzhi. So if they can't find anyone, they can't evacuate. They must continue to search until they are completely buried by the Chinese military.

Darren looked back at his colleagues in a huddle and gritted his teeth and nodded.

Darren explained to Anderson the structure of the entire LHC and told Anderson that there was only one exit above the command hall. If Professor Xu hadn't left through the elevator, he would have been hiding in a running device.

"Where's the equipment?" asked Anderson.

Darren led him to the entrance and exit of the internal work passage and gave Anderson his access card.

"The annular orbit is a completely closed structure, and it is impossible for Professor Xu to drill into the acceleration orbit. So he must have been hiding in one of the more than a hundred auxiliary unit control rooms in the back. ”

Speaking of which, he looked at the colonel's face and hesitated.

"It's best not to touch anything, high-energy equipment in operation is extremely dangerous. He suggested.

"You stop the collider first. "The colonel ordered.

"I can't do it. Darren shook his head, "Professor Xu just twisted the key, the whole system has been locked, and no one can stop this big guy except him." And...... I'm afraid there's something worse. ”

As if to verify his words, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded in the control hall, and a cold and beautiful female voice kept repeating between the alarm bells:

"Warning, emergency stop is permanently offline, the self-destruct program has been activated! The program is irreversible, please evacuate immediately!"

Hearing such a warning, not only Darren's face turned pale, but the other researchers who were huddled together also changed their faces.

As we all know, the Littocratic Large Hadron Collider is an open international cooperation project. Given the dangers of high-energy equipment, there are indeed some disaster recovery facilities.

But why is there a self-destruct program! This is not the Empire's Battle Death Star, it's not the Umbrella Corporation's Hive Research Center, it's just an open scientific research project!

~~~~~~~~~~~

When Professor Yu Zheng designed this collider, he considered the invasion of hostile forces. In order to ensure that the secret of the catalyst will not be cracked, the core mechanism of the energy level separation device will not be obtained by hostile forces. He added this self-destruct program to the underlying code of the collider.

Once activated, the program will cause the entire collider to fall into an irreversible overload state. And within half an hour, all the subsystem devices were melted down, and the secret of the catalyst was buried forever.

When Xu Yongzhi started the self-destruct procedure, he had a will to die in his heart. He needed to destroy not only all the equipment, but also himself.

All the secrets of the room temperature metal hydrogen catalyst are in his mind, and if it falls into the hands of Mi Jun, he doesn't think he can resist Mi Jun's various high-tech interrogation methods.

At the same time as the polarizing fence turned on the bright light to illuminate the hall, Professor Xu had already rushed to the entrance of the internal passage with his eyes closed. He was so familiar with the place that he could find the location even with his eyes closed.

He bypassed the still-spinning glowing super-torus device and passed through the partition hatch. There is no bright light here, and you can finally open your eyes.

At this point, the entire collider system was already wailing overwhelmed, and many auxiliary systems were on the verge of collapse. Xu Yongzhi saw that in some of the cooling grids, hazy and almost transparent white smoke slowly fell.

He quickly turned sideways and dodged.

This white smoke is not a phenomenon that accelerates the evaporation of the coolant in the pipes, but a plasma fluid produced by extremely high temperatures, sticking to a little bone and leaving no bones.

A puff of transparent white smoke fell onto the metal floor, and the ground immediately appeared to be in a large molten state.

There is another, more lethal threat, which is the overhead collider acceleration orbit. The super permanent magnet that was originally firmly fixed on the track has fallen off at high temperatures.

Unfettered jets of light-tachyon particles, sweeping across space in unpredictable trajectories. Such a jet of particles cannot be seen with the naked eye, but its power can be clearly seen.

On the entire device in front of Xu Yongzhi, a honeycomb-like trajectory suddenly spread. The structure of a high-strength alloy quickly turns into tofu residue in front of a jet of high-speed particles.

The device is located in the scattering trajectory of the particle jet, as if it had been cleanly cut in half by an invisible knife.

For this danger that ordinary people cannot believe, Professor Xu turned a deaf ear and walked in it. Scientists are like this, he is more afraid of Colonel Anderson outside, but he is not afraid of these natural phenomena.

He bypassed these deadly traps and entered the replacement unit that he had visited with Sun Xiang and Yu Xiaoyue not long ago. He locks the door and intends to usher in his own end here.

He is the only one in the world who holds the secret of the hydrogen catalyst at room temperature. But fortunately, a few hours ago, he had explained the core principles to Sun Xiang and Yu Xiaoyue in detail.

As long as the two of them repeat these core principles to another reliable physicist. It is believed that relying on the financial resources and research capabilities of Luhe Group, it is not difficult to reproduce a complete set of catalyst preparation systems.

When Yu Zheng and his wife chose Xu Yongzhi, they took a fancy to his loyal qualities. Xu Yongzhi did not live up to this trust, and he decided to use his life to fulfill his promise to his mentor.

The only regret is that I can't see my daughter again. Professor Xu took out his mobile phone and wanted to call Xu Yishan's ward, but as expected, there was no signal.

I believe that Sun Xiang will definitely take care of her, he thought to himself.

Professor Xu put down his phone and sat down slowly against the wall, bursting into tears.
