Walking all the way down the secret passage of the lighthouse, you will soon reach the inside of a secret room.

However, this is not necessarily the case, because this is not a research institute, nor is it a hidden room with something, but a special room for elevators.

There are two elevator doors inside the room, and Zhenghui enters the password in front of the elevator door near the left, inserts the work card, scans the fingerprint, iris, brain waves, mental state, and recognizes the specified expression before the elevator door opens.

Karp stood in a position not far away, and waited for Zhenghui for a full ten minutes before he finished the series of verifications. After Karp walked into the elevator and felt that the elevator was starting to go down, Zhenghui explained the situation of the research institute to Karp in the huge elevator that could only be completely illuminated by several incandescent tubes with certain intervals.

"The research institute here is a deep-sea research institute built by the alliance, which is why the verification steps are so cumbersome."

First explained the series of verifications just now, and then Zhenghui smiled at Karp again.

"But you don't have to worry, everyone in the institute is a researcher who loves elves very much, and you are eligible to enter the institute even if you have Dr. Ohki's introduction."

Listening to Zhenghui's words, Karp nodded, and at the same time learned what kind of voice a well-known doctor had within the alliance.

Masaki went silent after explaining these things, and Karp leaned against the side of the elevator and kept silent.

The two of them waited in such a silent atmosphere for the elevator to dive for about twenty minutes before the elevator stopped.

As the elevator door opened, Karp saw a passage that led straight to another door.

The interior of the passage is lit up, and the glass-like walls on both sides are a somewhat cloudy black. Faintly, Karp seemed to feel the dark parts squirming, and stopped in surprise.

Zhenghui noticed that Karp stopped and was a little puzzled, but when he saw Karp's eyes on the walls on both sides, he understood why he stopped.

"The walls on both sides are made of special single-phase glass. You can see the outside from the inside, but if you look inside from the outside, you can only see a pitch-black pipe, so don't be surprised if you feel something moving outside, either the sea or some elves living in the deep sea are passing by. ”

Listening to Zhenghui's words, Karp nodded, and he had no interest in continuing to look out.

After all, this is not a shallow water base, and there is no light coming in from this location even during the day, so it is pitch black outside, and there is nothing to see at all.

Karp withdrew his gaze and followed Masaki into the gate that was linked to the other end of the pipe.

Through this gate, Karp and Zhenghui officially entered the institute.

It's not quite the kind of small and medium-sized research institute that Karp imagined, but the research institute here is very large, and following the gate he and Masaaki stepped into, there is a road to the left, and then there is a floating bridge on the height.

Looking down the floating bridge, there is an elven ecological area that you can't even see. Karp followed Masaki to the end of the floating bridge, passing through a location similar to a transit station, before finally seeing the area where the researchers worked at the underwater research institute.

This area is much smaller than the previous elven ecoregion, and the entire research area is a circular space with stepped semi-circular layers inside the space, each layer represents a work area, and in the middle is a spiral staircase that pins the layers together.

Seeing such a research institute、Even Karp was a little surprised.,Zhenghui noticed Karp's surprise and introduced him.。

"The real research area of this undersea research institute is actually this area the size of a stadium, and further out there are four elven ecological areas, then two equipment manufacturing areas, two resource management areas, a logistics support area, and two areas for the staff to live.

But don't be too surprised by the equipment of this research institute, I also told you before, this is the research institute of the alliance, and it is normal for the alliance to build this place with the financial resources and resources of the alliance. ”

Listening to Zhenghui's words, Karp calmed down and nodded at him.

"I see, let's go."

Zhenghui looked at Karp and took less than thirty seconds to completely calm down, and he also sighed a little about Karp's mental quality, but he didn't say anything, just nodded.

After all, just as Karp wanted to read the research materials of this group of researchers, Zhenghui and the researchers here also wanted to meet Karp's big steel snake as soon as possible.

Even if you don't talk about the problem of those purple flames, Karp's big steel snake is also a big steel snake that can block the Phoenix King's divine flame head-on.

For such a big steel snake, they have no possessiveness, and they don't have any desire to slice it, for this group of crazy people who love elves more than everything, wanting to see elves they have never seen before is the most fundamental goal.

With this in mind, Zhenghui quickly followed the position of the spiral staircase all the way down, directly to the research area at the bottom, which is also the largest area.

On the side of this research area are some futuristic scientific machine clusters, and the old stone slabs that Karp has seen several times in the pictures are now fixed to a scientific machine that resembles a robotic hand.

At the other end of the scientific machines is a large clearing that resembles a training ground, and an area where researchers and elves are constantly busy.

When Zhenghui came here with Karp, the dozen or so researchers working here all turned their gazes.

"Zhenghui, you're back."

The group first greeted Zhenghui and then turned their gaze to Karp.

This is the Alliance's research institute, and not everyone is qualified to enter.

And the people who can be brought by Zhenghui, according to their understanding, are only the shield of the city that Dr. Oki sent a message to find before......

The dozen or so researchers instantly confirmed Karp's identity, and then their eyes lit up like a pack of wolves that had seen sheep.

Zhenghui laughed a few times when he saw them like this, and then led Karp to the open space that resembled a training ground.

"Karp, let your big steel snake out, although their current appearance is not convincing, but we have the most advanced equipment in the entire alliance here, let's check the situation of your big steel snake first, and see if we can analyze anything from those purple flames.

Then you can take advantage of this time to check out the information we recently discovered about the tattoo and crown-like horns on the big rock serpent.

Karp listened to his voice and nodded.

"Well, then please."
