Chapter 23: The Mysterious Laboratory
"That's right, it's an underground lab."
The elevator kept descending, and after nearly a minute, Wang Shuai felt that the whole car was stunned and finally stopped.
"Here we are."
A burst of bright light lit up overhead, illuminating everything brightly, and after a while, Wang Shuai gradually adapted to the brightness of the light.
"Mr. Zhong, we're here."
The two bodyguards with sunglasses had already gotten out of the car, opened the car door, and very respectfully asked Zhong Zhentao and Wang Shuai to get out of the car.
"Come down and have a look." Zhong Zhentao smiled slightly, got out of the car, and walked towards the exit of the huge elevator.
Wang Shuai got out of the car, and in front of his eyes, there was a huge underground world. Based on the time Wang Shuai spent on the elevator, he guessed that this underground laboratory was at least twenty or thirty meters above the ground, right?
The elongated version of the Lincoln looked so small in front of the huge lift. On the other side, in the direction of Zhong Zhentao, there seemed to be a few people dressed as bodyguards waiting.
"Mr. Wang, this way." The two bodyguards gestured to Wang Shuai.
Wang Shuai nodded, then followed with a step, and as he walked, Wang Shuai looked around.
The huge underground space, like a huge underground kingdom, has all kinds of facilities, all kinds of signs can be seen everywhere on the ground, walls, and escalators, and you can vaguely feel a gust of natural wind, which shows that the ventilation here is very good.
"Mr. Chung."
Walking quickly to Zhong Zhentao's side, they had already passed through the huge corridor to an intersection, where there were also several people dressed as bodyguards waiting.
"Dr. Sun is here?"
"Yes."
"Alright, let's go to the lab."
As the words fell, the bodyguard-looking men opened the way in front of them, out of the hallway, and they turned to an elevator.
This elevator is different from all the elevators Wang Shuai has ever seen, from the outside, this elevator is unusually strong, and the materials used seem to be different.
One of the several bodyguards first entered a secret order on the elevator door, and the heavy door of the elevator slowly opened. Entering it, there is no button to select the floor like a general elevator, and there are only a few cameras.
Wang Shuai was puzzled, only to see Zhong Zhentao turn around and face a camera in the corner, with a "Didi" scanning sound came, a voice sounded in everyone's ears.
"Identity confirmed! Mr. Zhong, how many floors do you want to go to? ”
The soft computer-synthesized sound made Wang Shuai wake up, it turned out that Zhong Zhentao was confirming his identity just now at the camera, but he was only confirming his identity through the camera, is it so safe? Wang Shuai thought puzzled.
Zhong Zhentao stretched out his hand and made a "4" gesture to the camera, and the heavy elevator shook and seemed to begin to descend slowly.
Turning his head, he found that Wang Shuai seemed to have doubts, Zhong Zhentao smiled slightly and explained: "Handsome guy, this is a laboratory, safety is the top priority, and the safety equipment used here is the latest products." ”
"Just ......"
"Handsome guy, don't underestimate that camera, it's not an ordinary camera, just now through the camera, the machine can read my retina and face information, and by comparing it with the existing data, it will confirm the identity."
"What if the identity is wrong?"
Zhong Zhentao shrugged: "This ...... I didn't know that this lab was designed by experts, and even kept it secret from me. ”
While speaking, the elevator had already arrived at its destination, except for the first and last shock of the elevator, Wang Shuai almost didn't feel the elevator moving, and even ...... He didn't know if he was at a higher or lower height than he had just been. Because the elevator movement is very slight, in an enclosed space, it is difficult to make a correct judgment.
The door of the elevator opened, and the situation was exactly the same as that of Fang Cai, if it weren't for the vibration of the elevator, Wang Shuai would almost think that the elevator had not moved at all.
The exact same layout will really make most people lose judgment, if it is the first time to come here, it will definitely feel the same as Wang Shuai - weird.
It can be seen that the design of this underground laboratory is very careful. From the location of the laboratory, to the elevator hidden in the garage, to the elevator that is so stable that people can't feel whether it is up or down, coupled with this identical layout, even if the average person passes one or two levels, I am afraid that they will not be able to go down.
The security of the laboratory is obviously more than that, out of the elevator, a few bodyguards opened the way in front, and came to an alloy casting door, Zhong Zhentao recognized the palm print, and the door slowly opened.
And for a door like this that requires identity verification, Wang Shuai and Zhong Zhentao passed through three times in a row.
And, between each door, they are fully scanned and disinfected. In the end, only Wang Shuai and Zhong Zhentao entered the laboratory, and the other bodyguards were guarding the door.
When the last automatic door opened, what appeared in front of Wang Shuai and Zhong Zhentao was a huge second-floor space. This space is divided into two floors, the upper floor is where Wang Shuai and Zhong Zhentao stand, and under their eyelids is the destination of this trip - the laboratory.
The laboratory and the place where Wang Shuai was standing were separated by a huge glass cover, which Wang Shuai guessed should not be ordinary glass.
Standing on the upper floor, you can see the situation in the laboratory. At this moment, all kinds of equipment exude different lights, and more than a dozen scientists in white coats are carefully observing in front of different machines, recording all kinds of data from time to time.
Then Zhong Zhentao greeted one of the gray-haired scientists: "Dr. Sun! ”
In the laboratory, Zhong Zhentao's voice was amplified several times, and the scientist looked up and found Zhong Zhentao, and greeted Zhong Zhentao with a smile, but because of the glass cover, his voice did not come out at all.
Zhong Zhentao turned around and walked towards the glass elevator on one side, where he and Wang Shuai went down to the laboratory together.
"Dr. Sun, long time no see, are you okay?"
Dr. Sun laughed, "It's not like that. ”
"Let me introduce you to my friend, Wang Shuai, handsome guy, my good brother."
"Mr. Wang."
"Hello."
Wang Shuai and Dr. Sun shook hands, and from each other's bodies, Wang Shuai saw the hard work and seriousness of a scientific research worker.
"Dr. Sun, you don't have to worry about us, we're just going to take a look at those things." Zhong Zhentao's identity is also very polite to these scientists.
"Alright, you can do it yourself, come to us if you have anything."
"Okay." Zhong Zhentao nodded.
Dr. Sun turned around, and Zhong Zhentao immediately led Wang Shuai towards an exhibition hall on the side of the laboratory.
More than a dozen scientists were doing their own things step by step, and the arrival of Zhong Zhentao and Wang Shuai did not seem to affect them.
"Come on, take a look at this." Walking into the exhibition room, Zhong Zhentao said, "Appreciate it, these are our company's latest products." ”
"New?" Wang Shuai's eyes scanned the huge exhibition room, and he didn't see anything big, on the contrary, what appeared in his eyes were some common things in life, such as watches, gloves, glasses, watches, ties, shoes, pens, etc.
Is such a laboratory just to make these things?
Seeing these with his own eyes, Wang Shuai didn't believe it. After all, the manpower and material resources required to build such a huge underground laboratory are huge, and it will take a lifetime to earn back the cost of these daily necessities alone?
Moreover, you don't need any scientists to make these things, do you? Wang Shuai even felt that Zhong Zhentao was joking with him again.
Zhong Zhentao seemed to understand what Wang Shuai was thinking, and said with a smile: "Handsome guy, don't underestimate these things, although these things are not good in appearance, each of them is a condensed boutique." ”
"Boutique?" Wang Shuai's gaze swept over those things again, but he still didn't find anything strange.
"Let's talk about this fountain pen," Zhong Zhentao pointed to a black fountain pen in the glass cabinet and said, "Don't underestimate this thing, this fountain pen integrates a series of functions such as audio recording, video recording, unlocking, virus implantation, information transmission, and Beidou positioning." ”
"So many features?" Regarding Zhong Zhentao's words, Wang Shuai was a little skeptical.
Zhong Zhentao nodded heavily: "That's right." ”
"It's about the same as your PDA?"
"In terms of nature, it should be similar," Zhong Zhentao said, "but the complexity is far less complex than that of the microcomputer." ”
That is to say...... Everything here, each one has a special function? ”
"That's right."
Wang Shuai was a little shocked, this should be regarded as a special product, right? looked at Zhong Zhentao and said, "These things don't seem to be sold outside." "So where did all this produced go?
Zhong Zhentao said: "The reason is very simple, firstly, these things are exclusively supplied to government agencies and the military, and secondly, even if these things are allowed to be sold, they will not have much profit and market if they are often priced at millions of dollars." ”
Things like here are just special supplies, and the aesthetics are almost zero, and the existence of these things is to try not to attract people's attention, and for ordinary people, they are not very useful. But for some special institutions of government, it is an indispensable thing.
"Unexpected...... That's what your family does. ”
Zhong Zhentao shook his head: "No, it's just a small industry in our family, and there is actually not much profit margin." ”
"But everything here seems to be very sci-fi." Wang Shuai thought of the special equipment used by those agents in the movie 007 series.
"You think everything in those movies is made up out of thin air?" Zhong Zhentao said, "Come here, I'll let you see one more thing." ”
"What?"
"Individual exoskeleton system."
