Chapter 208: An Old Man
When the complex runes on the four walls of the corridor stabilized, the lights automatically turned on again, and the tingling sensation on the four people except Cheng Shi disappeared.
"Maybe that's what this place is." Cheng Shi muttered to himself with a little daze in his eyes.
"That's how the magic factory should be." Oldman sighed.
Barbara glanced at the giant, "Do you have a similar magic factory in your giant kingdom?" ”
Oldman haha: "If we had this ability, we would have marched into the sea of stars a long time ago, how could we still be trapped on the planet Tanamu." However, I have heard from our giant elders that a long time ago, when our giants were still living on the home planet, there were also large magic laboratories, and seeing the situation here, I think it is a bit similar to what those giant elders described. ”
In fact, Cheng Shi knew that there were still many stories about the giant kingdom on the planet Tanamu, but the situation there was not the most urgent at the moment, and that planet was in the main universe, at least in the short term, there would not be much problem, so he put aside the matter of helping the giant race find a new home for the time being, of course, there was another reason, he couldn't find a suitable ecological planet for the giants to live in for a while.
"Big one, your giant race won't be trapped on that planet all the time," Cheng Shi scratched his head, "The affairs of the main universe should be easier, and after a while, we will focus on solving the affairs of your hometown." ”
Oldman nodded heavily, indicating that he understood Cheng Shi's approach very well.
After the magic runes on the walls of the corridor were activated, the various alchemy equipment in the laboratory also began to run violently, but the sound of the machine could only be heard when the door was opened.
And the codes of the various rooms in the laboratory hidden in the runes also surfaced after the runes were activated.
When Barbara saw the code on the door, she quickly went to find the floor plan hanging on the wall again, and this time she really found it successfully, so she waved to Cheng Shi vigorously.
"Look, it's right here, I'll just say yes." Barbara said, pointing to the floor plan.
Cheng Shi nodded with satisfaction, but still asked, "Why does this plan appear in the Shadow World?" ”
After scanning and analyzing the information bridge, he reported: "It's very simple, those runes on the wall are originally phantoms in the real world, and naturally they will not produce projections in the shadow world, and this picture is a mechanism, and only when the rune circle on its surface is activated, it will emerge." ”
Cheng Shi sighed: "Then let's go to Laboratory No. 15 immediately." ”
As soon as Cheng Shi's voice fell, Yang Yang was already waving to him not far away, and pointed to the door of a room.
Cheng Shi and Barbara immediately walked over and found that it was room 15 in front of them, and everyone immediately opened the door and walked in.
"How can there be nothing?" Barbara said with some surprise.
Everyone saw that there were no furnishings on the floor of this room, and there were no suites in it, and the whole room was an empty hall, but the four walls of the wall were covered with black round pipes except for the position of the door, which looked like a large disinfection room.
"Could it be that all the machines used for human experiments have been removed?" Cheng Shi muttered with a puzzled face, and then he walked to the corner of the room, reached out and knocked on the black round pipes on the wall, and the sound seemed to be hollow. Then he crouched on the floor and knocked on the floor of the room, feeling as if the floor was empty and tight
Then he shifted a few more positions and knocked on each one.
Everyone was puzzled, except for Barbara, everyone else squatted down and knocked on the floor, and after a while they looked at each other and nodded.
"Is there a basement?" Barbara finally couldn't help but be curious, crouching down and knocking on the floor as she asked.
"Everyone go out first," Cheng Shi got up and waved at everyone, "This floor is too thin, there should be something underneath, it's not safe for us to stand on it." ”
Yang Yang and North almost jumped out of the room on their toes when they heard the sound, and they didn't know how they did this, so if a person was standing on the ice and was worried that the ice would fall if it was too thin, shouldn't he lie on the ice and move slowly? Wouldn't this fall faster if you landed on your toes?
After the five of them left the room, Cheng Shi said to the information bridge: "Xiaoqiao, scan it and see what is down there?" ”
The information bridge flashed twice: "There is indeed a basement below, but magic permission is required to enter, this car is trying to crack the rune circle here, please wait for a while." ”
Cheng Shi nodded, and waited anyway, so he entered the room next to room 15.
This is a material room, there are many metal shelves in it, but there are more powdery substances on the shelves, looking at the shape of those powders, Cheng Shi speculated that this place may have been a reference room or library before, but it was also placed with some other things, such as some containers for magic materials under the shelves, and some white robes hanging on the sides of the shelves.
"Master, this ship has obtained advanced access to the basement." Information Bridge said in the spiritual connection with Cheng Shi.
Cheng Shi immediately walked out of the room when he heard the sound, and he saw that the floor of room 15 had changed greatly, and the half of the floor near the inside had become a ladder downward, but standing at the door, he couldn't see the inside of the basement, and speculated that the ladder was very steep. The basement is obviously not painted on the floor plan, which shows that this is the secret place of this underground laboratory.
"Xiaoqiao, you release the life support suit, let's put on the life support suit and go in." Thinking that this is a human laboratory, Cheng Shi still has an extra heart.
The five people put on life jackets and entered the room, but the door suddenly closed automatically, and then the black round pipes on the four walls of the room began to release yellow smoke, and everyone waited in place for a while, the smoke automatically dissipated, and then the machine prompt sounded in the room: "Filtration completed, permission to enter." ”
The group then went up the stairs to the basement of the room.
"Wow...... Lots of sleeping pods. The basement was dimly lit, but Yang Yang's eyes were the best, and when she saw the rows of oval boxes on the ground, she was surprised as she wiped the surface of one of them.
The first thing the group saw was a rectangular hall, but the wall facing them was curved, with a door on it, apparently a separate room.
Compared to the neatness and orderliness of the rooms above, this basement is a bit messy, with a lot of miscellaneous things scattered all over the ground.
"Everyone be careful, maybe there are still people alive." Cheng Shi said casually, "Xiaoqiao, check all the dormant cabins to see if there are any life reactions." ”
"Skeleton, skeleton, empty, skeleton, skeleton, empty, empty......" Yang Yang muttered to himself what he saw as he quickly checked the hibernation pods one by one, as if he was preemptively discovering the first person alive.
If you want to say that you just check the reaction of life in the dormant capsule through a layer of glass, it is still the information bridge that moves the fastest
, its scanning light is fan-shaped, and it can inspect several sleeping pods at once. The row of dormant pods that the five people are responsible for has not yet been finished, and the goods have all been completed: "Master, this car has not detected any life reaction, there is a problem with the supply of magic energy in their dormant pods, if it weren't for the rune circle on the wall that we just activated, this basement may not be able to open normally." ”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and they stopped their respective inspection work.
"Isn't the planet's underground space viable? What are they waiting for in the hibernation pod? Barbara asked, confused.
Cheng Shi thought for a while: "That's when humans can survive now, and these people are not necessarily. ”
"yes, this basement is a human laboratory, and they are supposed to be adapting themselves to the environment of this planet." Oldman analyzed.
"But shouldn't the transformation of the body start with a child?" North questioned, grabbing his hair.
Cheng Shi immediately looked around and found that this place was indeed full of sleeping pods for adults, which couldn't help but make him start muttering in his heart again, because what North said was not unreasonable, the physical development of adults has been finalized, unless there is a technology similar to the divine realm, it is indeed not logical to transform the body of adults. But according to Cheng Shi's understanding, the transformation and strengthening of the human body in the divine realm are all advanced technologies at the information level, and under normal circumstances, it is impossible for mortals to master.
"Let's go to that room over there." Cheng Shi waved at everyone and said.
The information bridge quickly cracked the door's access control system, and everyone entered the room.
There is no light in this room, the model car automatically turns into a flashlight to provide lighting, compared to the outside, it is clean and tidy, there is a platform more than one meter high in the center of the room, on which is placed a rectangular box, this box is about ten meters long, three meters wide, all black, at first glance, it looks like a huge coffin.
Yang Yang was still the first to jump up: "Ah! There are people inside, and it's also a hibernation pod. ”
When the crowd heard that the big bird didn't say about the skeleton this time, or that it was empty, but that there were people, they immediately surrounded it.
"Elf, he's alive." The information bridge hovered above the hibernation pod, and said with some surprise.
"Landlord, let's quickly open this coffin lid." Yang Yang rolled up his sleeves and prepared to violently open the box.
Cheng Shi immediately knocked on the head of the cargo: "You two, you haven't ever laid down in the sleeping cabin, I've always seen science fiction movies, is the sleeping cabin opened like this?" ”
Yang Yang let out a sigh and pulled his head down.
"This hibernation pod comes with a tiny magic engine for energy, so it is not affected by the transmission of magic energy outside, which is why the people inside are still alive, but getting an old man to put it in, this car speculates that it may be to preserve the information in his brain." The information bridge flashed with lights.
"Can you crack this hibernation pod, then?" Cheng Shi asked.
"No problem, this car has mastered the rune technology of these elves." The information bridge replied in the affirmative.
As the intricate rune codes flickered around the dormant pod, a slight metallic grinding sound quietly sounded, and then cold air began to snort around the dormant pod.
Infobridge suddenly "Huh? He sighed, and then said, "The mechanism of the automatic opening of the dormant pod cover is broken?!" ”
Everyone was taken aback, thinking that something was wrong when the hibernation pod was opened.
In order to prevent Yang Yang from violently pushing open the dormant hatch, Cheng Shi reached out to stop the goods, and then asked Oldman to slowly move the lid up.
