Although I had known the scale of this place for a long time, I was still stunned when I saw more than 3,000 people working at the same time. The entire hall and the rooms and alleys that extended out were covered with a large number of cultivation troughs, and countless people were busy walking through the gaps of the cultivation troughs, occasionally taking out a huge piece of white meat from one culture trough and transporting it to other places like a worker ant carrying green worms.

"We improved the process and used an enzyme that had never been used before. This enzyme can greatly increase the efficiency of the nissl body, allowing us to produce synthetic proteins at a sci-fi rate. Xiang Ci said coldly next to me, without a trace of emotion in his tone, "But now this kind of production is still in the experimental stage, and our main material supply still relies on the factories on the ground. ”

I didn't speak, just nodded in agreement, and I remained silent on the ensuing tour of the huge factory, whether through the deep corridors or from the heights overlooking the people toiling underground, which I thought would express my awe.

Due to the lack of sunlight for a long time, most of the people here are pale-skinned, and the culture fluid in the culture tank makes the ground and around very wet, and I see that many people's arms and face skin are white and wrinkled, like synthetic meat that they have lifted out of the culture tank.

"It's Chang Cheng's research here!" After entering a long list of passwords and entering a very enclosed space, Xiang Ci introduced, "We have taken samples of them and conducted various tests here to try to find the reason why Gejia is afraid of them, and hopefully help us find a way to defeat Gejia!" ”

"Is there any progress?" I asked.

"Nope! In their wound secretions, we found a different enzyme that was tested and used in the production of synthetic meat, which you have just seen, but the rest of the research has not progressed. Xiang Ci pointed to a pile of debris in an isolation room and said, "This was left two months ago, and it is still growing, and no one knows what it survives on." ”

I looked through the glass at the small pile of rotten meat on the floor, frowned, and asked, "What's that?" ”

"That's a Gaga! At that time, our researchers used all kinds of things that were thought to be effective to inject it with no effect, and then diluted the blood of a person outside the city, but I didn't expect it to have a miraculous effect, and within two days Nagga became like this, but no one could figure out what exactly worked, and the pile of meat was still growing, but it didn't increase...... "Xiang Ci seemed to feel confused.

Then a polite voice came from behind me, "It seems that they have eaten themselves and grown new parts, just like this earth!" ”

I was shocked, this person came behind me silently, it was definitely not a good thing, my feet slipped and pulled to the side, and I was about to speak, but the person's hand stretched out in the slightest, "Hello, my name is virus-Zhang." ”

"Willows?" I didn't have the idea of shaking hands with him, just wondered by his name.

"It's a virus, you can call Mr. Zhang." The man was not angry and said with a smile.

Xiang Ci spoke on the side, but his tone was very polite, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Mayor Xiang, I heard that a distinguished guest came to visit, how can I let the leader accompany me alone?"

"Okay, Secretary General Zhang is also very busy, so don't waste time here, tell others that I'm busy!" Xiang Ci said.

This Willows actually bowed, "Yes, to the mayor, then I'll go." After that, he straightened up and looked at me deeply, "If Mr. Si'an is free, please feel free to talk to me." ”

I made him look at it all overwhelmed, and said with a dry smile: "That's not necessary, I'm not used to it, you're so busy, don't waste time here." ”

Virus smiled and turned to leave. I stared at his back in a black suit, as if I saw a black poisonous snake swimming outward, and my heart was a little hairy.

"Mayor Xiang, is this person gay?"

Xiang Ci glanced at me, "I don't know, you're scared?" ”

"I'm afraid I can't talk about it, according to my hometown, it's a little cautious." I rubbed my hands together, "What's the origin of this Velux?" ”

"He? When I was Secretary-General, he was my deputy. ”

"And then?"

"Later, the cataclysm happened, the people in the city government died and fled, the cadres were in short supply, and the acting mayor died suddenly, so I became the acting mayor." Xiang Ci replied, his eyes fluctuating slightly.

I noticed this, but I wasn't sure what she was for, so I couldn't ask more, "What is his position on this matter?" ”

Xiang Ci glanced at me, "He and I have some differences......"

I understand that this Willows Eight Achievement heard something and came to see me.

"Where next?" I asked Xiang Ci and decided not to think about this viper-like Velux.

"Another lab, where the people's confidence comes from." Xiang Ci said, walked to a huge metal pipe, entered a string of passwords, and the door on the pipe cracked, and it turned out to be an elevator.

The speed of this elevator was so fast that even I felt dizzy, and Xiang Ci and I didn't say a few words during this period, because it only took a dozen seconds for us to reach the ground.

Coming out of the iron-box-like room at the end of the elevator, I let out a long breath, looked at Xiang Ci with a normal face and asked, "You should all have practiced taking elevators, right?" ”

"The leadership of the city government and the entire staff of the institute go several times a day, which is set up to cope with special situations that arise underground, and as you can see, this high-speed elevator is enough to preserve our main strength."

I nodded, "You're very thoughtful, but isn't it a bit of a lack of consideration to keep all the research facilities underground?" ”

"Of course not, we're going to go to the research institute above ground, but it's located above ground because there's not enough space underground for experiments."

I don't know when, Xiang Ci's car arrived on the metal floor outside this house again, I was taken aback, and I thought that maybe Xiang Ci had already made arrangements, so I didn't ask again.

Xiang Ci may have sensed my doubts and explained: "We not only have to ensure that the personnel can reach the ground safely, but also ensure the mobility of the personnel, when I get on the elevator and enter the password, the parking lot has recognized my identity, and retrieved my transportation, and sent it to the exit!" ”

I was deeply shocked, this is too sci-fi, right? "To the mayor, to be honest, I was surprised."

"What's surprising about this, is there any advanced technology, the technology involved in this, it can be done in the eighties of the last century, but there has been no need to do it, if it is not for the current situation, this practice is just unnecessary waste." Xiang Ci explained.
