In the deep darkness of the night, the large complex of buildings on the horizon is still brightly lit.

This secret research center under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which is also a special institution with close cooperation with the military, has no public name at all, and even has an inconspicuous code name in the internal secret files.

At this moment, in the underground laboratory, in the hall with a radius of more than 100 meters, countless instruments and equipment of different shapes and sizes are placed in turn, and they are all in full power operation, or low, or gentle humming sounds.

These devices representing the highest level of technology in China and even in the world, the function of each one is not simple, and the origin of some equipment is absolutely confidential.

Hundreds of men and women in white dust-proof overalls are busy at their posts, their faces calm and their eyes focused.

On the central test bench, in the suspended magnetic field, a dark golden round metal disc is slowly rotating, with a circle of faint blue texture that is finer than the head wire, and under the stimulation of some unknown mechanism, countless subtle light symbolic patterns flash out of thin air around it, and then disappear silently after a few seconds, mysterious and inexplicable.

Several low-power probing lasers scan back and forth on the surface of the metal disc, and a flood of data is gathered into the stage computer on the side of the test bench, and several senior engineers are engrossed in staring at the information on the display.

On the left side of the screen is a translucent three-dimensional model of a metal disc, and the accuracy of the model is extremely high, every detail is meticulous, as long as the mouse clicks to a certain position, the data of the corresponding part will be automatically presented at the bottom of the screen, and the scanning laser is still constantly collecting the data, enriching and improving the existing database.

On the command seat, academician Pan Yuanshan was frowning and staring at the disc on the experimental table without saying a word.

"Old Pan, what do you think?" asked Major General Wang Rui, director of the research center next to him.

Academician Pan pondered for a while and said slowly: "Very sophisticated and complex creations are far from the current level of industrial manufacturing of human civilization, and the scientific and technological heights that this civilization has reached are indeed beyond our reach now. ”

"In other words, we don't have the ability to parse its material composition and working principle now, let alone copy one of these things?" asked Major General Wang Rui.

"Well, we can still work on the previous mission, and as for replicating it, not to mention that we, the national laboratories of those big countries, can't do it either. Maybe it will take at least another thirty or forty years for our descendants to consider giving it a try. Academician Pan said.

Forty years, that is, two generations, if the exhibition process of Huaguo was not interrupted by unexpected factors, the level of industrial science and technology at that time should have looked down on the entire Blue Star. Major General Wang looked at the experimental table and thought thoughtfully.

Of course, the current research work still has to continue, and this prehistoric civilization artifact transferred by the secret department has made clear requirements on it, hoping that the research center can figure out its material composition and use within the specified time.

After all, what can make that group of old and young people care so much must contain an extraordinary secret, so as long as possible, the above still hopes to be able to completely control this secret in their hands.

Major General Wang Rui was about to speak, when a piercing alarm sounded suddenly, and a mechanical electronic sound came from the built-in speaker on the dome of the hall:

"Warning! Unknown Persons Intrusion! Warning! Unknown Persons Invasion!"

As the chime sounds, the clad metal automatic door in the lobby closes and locks, and then the independent circulating air filtration system is activated.

The backup power supply is activated, and if the external power supply is interrupted, it will be automatically connected to the power supply center, ensuring that some important core equipment of the research center continues to operate stably.

Major General Wang Rui's face changed slightly, and he immediately connected to the general control center through the internal communication system and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Report to the general, there are unknown people breaking in, the number is unknown, they are carrying high-powered firearms, the offensive is very fierce, and it is preliminarily judged to be professional soldiers......" The officer on duty at the control center reported nervously.

At this moment, a series of violent explosions were faintly heard outside, as well as the rapid and muffled sound of gunfire, as if the guards were exchanging fire with the other side.

Major General Wang Rui snorted coldly, and immediately ordered: "Activate the No. 3 plan and counterattack immediately!"

He has been born and died many times on the secret front, and he is no stranger to this kind of combat scene at all, just listening to the sound of gunfire and explosions, he can understand what equipment the other side uses, even individual grenades and RPGs have been taken out, and there is also high-power electromagnetic interference, it seems that the other party has a big plan.

With the entry of instructions containing a special cipher, supplemented by the verification of the general's personal authority key, his orders were executed to the letter.

In all corners of the research center, there are constantly alloy secret doors quietly opened, and many elite special forces wearing heavy sealed individual armor and holding various guns swarm out, and from time to time you can also see armored vehicles and main battle tanks, camouflage steel turrets rotating, and the muzzles of black holes pointing forward.

The level of secrecy in the research center is extremely high, and the corresponding security force is naturally not much weaker, and no matter where the attackers come from, they will inevitably pay a very heavy price.

The fiercer the fighting became, the gates of the research center had already been breached, and there were deafening explosions and shrapnel everywhere.

Nearly a hundred rhinoceros-shaped beasts hit the head, covering hundreds of black-clothed people approaching the area where the main building was located from different directions.

Those tall pitch-black beasts were covered with thick external alloy bulletproof armor, carrying special unmanned turrets, spitting white mist from their hideous mouths, and bursting out of strange roars, fearlessly charging against the artillery fire of the guards.

Through the ubiquitous surveillance cameras, the scene outside was quickly revealed by the control center.

"It's these guys? Are they still not giving up?"

Major General Wang Rui sneered slightly: "Put on such a big battle? They are showing off their family background, right? Just to grab this thing?"

A colonel next to him muttered, "These offensive forces are indeed powerful, but they are not enough to break through the base's defenses. I think they should still have a backhand, and since they have already moved, they will never stop without gaining something!"

"Of course, after all, this thing is too important to them!"

Major General Wang Rui said, stuffed the metal disc into his arms, and said in a deep voice: "Activate the highest-level counterattack plan, and at the same time call for support from nearby military regions, and see how big the waves they can make!"

"If you want a holy relic, just step on my corpse!"
