We unknowingly arrived at the huge building in the depths of the ocean, and came out for a walk after two days of repairs in the hospital, but Lao Wu didn't say how we got down, only gave some ambiguous answers.

I knew that no one could make him open his mouth if he didn't say anything, unless Sister Lan was reincarnated, so I gave up asking.

The place we are on is the lowest level of the building, and we don't know if there are more floors underground. From what I know of Maple Grove, they probably built the building many floors underground. I don't know how such a large building was built.

The whole place is in the shape of a spinning top, shaped like a child's hand spinning top, and the middle part of the building extends upwards and is hundreds of meters high.

The ground floor is a reticulated building, with a circular perimeter, and where we are is a branch of the large net.

"Old Wu, is your office in the middle high?" I asked.

Lao Wu shook his head: "There is no office here, only a conference room, and the other floors are used to place instruments." ”

His answer surprised me, and Guan Zixuan and the others were also puzzled.

"As you might have guessed, this is here to resist a great catastrophe. Lao Wu said, "So this huge building is not a tall secret base, but a huge instrument, a useful tool!"

Hearing this, my heart immediately lifted: "Old Wu, what is that disaster? You can tell me now!"

Lao Wu sighed: "Originally, you shouldn't have intervened in this disaster so early, but since Xiaolan arranged it like this, there must be her reason, and I won't hide it from you anymore." ”

After speaking, Lao Wu took the four of us into the elevator, saying that he wanted us to see something.

Lao Wu pressed the button on the 80th floor, and the elevator climbed up at great speed, and when the number jumped to 50, Lao Wu pressed 8 and 1 at the same time.

We couldn't understand Lao Wu's operation, but I didn't ask because it didn't matter.

The number of the elevator slowly changed to 80, and we thought it was over, but the elevator doors did not open, and the elevator was still going up.

What's going on? Could it be...... There's another layer on top of this?

Sure enough, the elevator went up one floor before stopping, the elevator door slowly opened, and we went straight to a room.

Lao Wu said that this was their conference room, but I didn't look like it no matter how I looked at it. Immediately afterward, I saw him press a switch in the room, and the place that had been glass moved from the middle to both sides, and another secret room appeared.

"You've been to the headquarters, so why be so surprised! You should know that the designers of Maple Grove are very fond of doing this kind of visual deception. Lao Wu smiled proudly.

"Cut, that's Maple Forest is powerful and not you're powerful, look at you. Uncle Wang said dissatisfiedly.

I shook my head unconsciously, almost forgetting the relationship between the two men. In other words, Uncle Wang has a lot of grievances, he is just the president of a maple forest branch, but he has grievances with two maple forest leaders, which is really his ability.

When the door opened, we walked in, and there was a cave inside. At first glance, it is full of electronic displays, and there is a person working hard in front of each display, but I only know a few of these display instruments.

Lao Wu Mei introduced the employees here, programmers, equipment administrators, debugging personnel of various instruments, and maintenance personnel.

At the end of the hall was an old man with long gray hair and reading glasses, who looked to be seventy or eighty years old, but his eyes were bright and not confused at all.

"Third Master!" Uncle Wang saw the third master running over excitedly, like a happy child.

"Hey......" Lao Wu shook his head, "You Zhao Jie is counted as one, and the third child is counted as one." ”

I smiled, this proves that Uncle Wang and I are close.

There is no seniority in the maple forest, or it is not according to common sense. For example, Lao Wu, a fifty-year-old man, is called the third master, an old scientist in his seventies and eighties, and for example, I was asked by Wang Chong to call him his real name, and I don't know why.

I knew that he might not want to say it when I asked Lao Wu, so I simply didn't ask and tried to get used to it. And didn't I, a young man in his twenties, call him Lao Wu too? Old Wu doesn't look old, so I'm used to being called that.

"Oh, little Zhao Jie, why did you come down? Aren't you accompanying me, an uncompetitive apprentice, to step into the cave?"

When he heard the phrase "an apprentice who is not angry", Uncle Wang was not the slightest dissatisfied, but lowered his head, which showed that he really respected the third master and was also very afraid.

"Third Master, we ......"

"Since I'm here, I have to tell you, this is not an ordinary place, this place is very special, like these instruments, you see, the one that shows the lines is called the oscilloscope, the thing on the other side, called the Geiger counter, and this, this is amazing......"

The third master did not leave me the slightest room to speak, and pulled me to introduce the various instruments in the hall, some of which he made himself.

"This big cover inside, it's amazing, the enhanced version of the Wilson Cloud Room I made, and ah...... Huh, who is this little girl, is your girlfriend, or Xiao Wang's little wife?"

The third master was excitedly outputting words, and suddenly turned his head to see Guan Zixuan, and asked curiously.

This question made Guan Zixuan stop, and the three masters asked indiscriminately, and I could clearly see that Guan Zixuan's expression had become bad.

"Zixuan, don't mind, Third Master, he is such a person. I could only explain to Guan Zixuan in embarrassment.

"It's okay, the third master is a Frankenstein, I don't hate her. Guan Zixuan smiled, and she didn't know if she really didn't blame the third master.

"Oh...... It turned out to be your little girlfriend, and she looked so cute. Gossip gossip gossip, come, let's continue to look at this ......"

The third master dragged me to see a lot of instruments, but I couldn't quite remember them. The main thing is that there are too many and the names are difficult to remember, so I only remember a few things that I am more interested in.

"Third Master, it was Sister Lan who asked me to come down. "Seeing that the third master was having a good time, I mentioned the reason why I came here.

The third master took a deep breath: "Secretary Lan must have her reason for letting you come, so you just follow me and do a good job, I will teach you some earth-shattering scientific magic, and I can also teach you ......"

"Third Master. I interrupted him, fearing that he would go on and on again, "I wonder what calamity you are resisting?"

The third master clapped his hands: "Harm, I almost forgot about this." I'm telling you, what you've seen this time is truly unique, truly spectacular, truly incredible, and you're absolutely blown away......"

As he spoke, the third master put his arm around my shoulders and led me to the window.

"I won't explain, tell me what you see. You'll never guess, you'll be amazed, you'll be absolutely shocked, you'll never imagine, you'll never imagine......"

The words of the third master are really not ordinary. But he talks a lot, and he still has the rigor of being a scientist, and if he can describe it that way, I think what I want to see will definitely be very shocking.

When I came to the window, I could see the circular reticulated building on the ground floor, which was very small when viewed from here, and I could only see the black circle of buildings surrounding the main building, like an upside-down enoki mushroom.

"It's not for you to look down, why are you so stupid, I'm telling you to look over there, from here, at forty-five degrees. The third master reminded.

I looked diagonally down as he instructed, and saw a huge cliff in the distance, bottomless, and I couldn't see the other side of the cliff.

"What do you see?" the Third Master asked.

At this time, Uncle Wang and the others also came to the glass window and observed the place with me.

"Third Master, there should be a trench there, right? Bottomless, I'm afraid it's a trench. I said.

The third master smiled mysteriously and looked at Guan Zixuan and the others: "What about you? Do you think it's a trench?"

"It's supposed to be a trench. Guan Zixuan nodded, but Uncle Wang did not speak, probably for fear of criticism from the third master.

"No!no!no!" The Third Master shook his head: "You are all wrong!"

"What's that? is it related to disaster?" I asked curiously.

"That's right, that's part of that catastrophe, and it's the core part. The third master said.

"And what is this?" I asked.

"It's a crack! a crack in the earth!"

The Third Master's answer made my mind like a lightning bolt, and I was extremely shocked!

"This crack has been around for a long time! Not only that, but there are similar cracks in many parts of the ocean, except that the largest crack here is the largest, and we have measured it, it is a full three thousand meters wide and tens of thousands of meters deep!"

"These cracks have crept in, and it took several years from their appearance to their current size, and their appearance caused the sea level to drop. ”

"The global warming effect is severe, and the glaciers are melting a lot, causing the sea level to rise, but the emergence of these cracks has suppressed the upward trend, so the outside world is calm. ”

The Third Master's explanation was so shocking that I couldn't come back to my senses for a long time, and my mind felt like it was caught in a storm, constantly stimulating my brain.
