[21] Neo-Poseidon Laboratory
The hatch of the "Seawolf" slowly opened, and there was a light outside, without a trace of ice, snow and cold wind, which did not look like it had arrived at the South Pole. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Lin Fan climbed the escalator out of the cabin with anxiety, followed the crew of the "Seawolf" out of the cabin, as soon as he stepped on the deck, he was shocked by the scene in front of him, his "Seawolf" is moored in a vast and square port, the length and width of this port is estimated to be several kilometers, there are many ships and submarines parked around, one side of the port is the dock berth, there are many American troops and staff on it, and on the other side is a deep and narrow rectangular channel, I don't know where it leads, the entire port is made of flat concrete walls on all sides, At the top, there is a solid rock wall, which looks like a completely enclosed space.
"W-This is the Poseidon lab?" Lin Fan exclaimed.
"Yes, we are now under the Antarctic ice cap, and this port is only a small part of the 'New Poseidon Laboratory'." Ji Yutong said calmly.
"Aren't you dumbfounded~ Brother Lin" First mate Li Gang also walked over, "Look there~" He pointed to the narrow rectangular passage on the other side of the port, "All the ships here enter and exit through this passage, according to my observation, I think this place should be under the ice sheet and above the sea level," he pointed to the pier again, "See those red lines on the edge cliffs, those are the tide lines, the water depth here will be affected by the high tide and low tide, indicating that it is the ...... of the open sea"
"Cough, cough" Ji Yutong on the side suddenly coughed dryly twice, the first mate Li Gang looked at her and immediately stopped talking, Lin Fan turned around and found that Dr. Sid and the others were also out of the cabin at this time, and were walking towards them, among them, the burly, blonde and blue-eyed Colonel Gosling next to Sid looked at them vigilantly.
"Dr. Sid"
Sid glanced at Lin Fan and Li Gang, and said to Ji Yutong: "Miss Ji, tell your classmates about the situation of the 'New Poseidon Laboratory', and tell him about the requirements you made before, after all, you still have to live here for a long time." ”
"Understand~ I'll explain it to him in detail." Ji Yutong replied calmly.
Sid and Gosling left, and as soon as they were far away, Lin Fan asked, "What does he want of you?"
Ji Yutong replied: "Dr. Sid's requirements for us are: first, not to move around in the laboratory at will; 2. Do not ask the personnel here about this laboratory; 3. It is forbidden to record anything about this place in any form; 4. Do not hide communication equipment without authorization; Other than that, everything else has to be applied for first, and he can only do it with his consent. ”
“…… Isn't this the imprison of us? ”
"It can be understood that way."
"And what does he mean when he says we're going to live here for a long time!?" He asked again.
"Alas! It means that we can't go back~" First mate Li Gang sighed and said.
"Is he going to keep us here!?" Lin Fan said excitedly.
"Brother Lin~Although I hate to admit it, that's the way it is~"
"First mate, things don't have to be so absolute, didn't we go anywhere before, don't you see now that we also follow them to the sea? So there's still a chance for everyone. ”
"That's because Yutong girl is talented, that weirdo appreciates you~"
"Maybe, but it also shows that Dr. Sid is not as stubborn as we think, and he is still reasonable."
"Alas! I hope so~" Li Gang sighed, Ji Yutong turned to Lin Fan and said: "Lin Fan, let's go back to the place where we live now, Lingling, Panru, and Chen Bo are all there, and they must be very surprised to see you." ”
"Hmm!" Although the conversation between Ji Yutong and Li Gang just now made Lin Fan a little worried about the future, the thought of seeing his classmates who had been separated for a long time soon, his mood recovered a lot.

After Lin Fan and the others left the dock, they followed the many soldiers and staff onto a subway-like teleporter, which went deep into the laboratory through a tunnel. As Ji Yutong said, the scale is very large, and there are three platforms they pass by on the way, and these platforms are connected to the various branches of the 'New Poseidon Laboratory' according to Ji Yutong.
The portal they were riding on passed another platform, which was large but unlit, and it was dim, and the portal did not stop, but drove straight by, and there was no one to be seen on the platform.
Lin Fan couldn't help asking, "Where does this platform lead?" Why doesn't anyone seem to use it? ”
"It's an abandoned platform, and the scientific research branch connected to it is no longer in use, as if there was some accident." Ji Yutong said on the side.
"It's a forbidden place." At this time, Li Gang, the first mate on the side, interjected, "Once I passed by here on a teleporter, I looked inside a few more times because of curiosity, and I was warned by several Americans, I don't know what kind of Rausch is inside!" ”
Hearing him say this, Lin Fan hurriedly looked away from the abandoned platform, and in the corner of his gaze, he saw a trident sign on the platform wall.
After the portal traveled for nearly a quarter of an hour, they finally got off the sixth platform, and as soon as Lin Fan got out of the portal, he saw a house sign on the wall of the platform, and a line of English was written underneath, which meant "accommodation area for ordinary personnel".
"What's next here?" Lin Fan looked at the conveyor that left the platform and asked, Ji Yutong replied: "It's the material warehouse area, and then the conveyor will return to the dock, this is a circular line, there are two conveyors running, we just sat on the shift that runs clockwise, if it runs counterclockwise, we can get to the second stop." ”
Lin Fan and the three of them entered the accommodation area after coming out of the platform, the gate of the accommodation area is guarded by soldiers, and an identity card is required to enter, Lin Fan does not have an identity card, after Ji Yutong explained his situation, he was taken to a room by the soldiers for inspection, where the things on his body were turned over, and the monkey face mask was supposed to be confiscated, but fortunately, Ji Yutong made up a reason to persuade the soldiers who inspected it, so that Lin Fan's mask could be retained.
After Lin Fan checked it out, there was only the monkey face mask left on his body except for his clothes, but he didn't have anything on him, so the impact was not great. So Lin Fan successfully passed the checkpoint in the accommodation area, and came to the place where they lived with Ji Yutong and the first mate Li Gang, thinking that he would be able to see the fat man Xue and them immediately, he was extremely excited.
The first mate Li Gang said while swiping the door card: "We all live together~ The conditions inside are good, it is three bedrooms and one living room~", the door was moved open, and the first mate shouted as soon as he entered: "Everyone~ Come and see who we bring back~!" ”
There was a moment of silence - and then screams erupted from the living room like a burst.
"Ahh~!!" "Lin Fan!!" "Is this Lin Fan!? "Oh my God, I'm not dreaming!"
Two men and a woman rushed to Lin Fan from the living room, and they surrounded him, all with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
"Chen Bo, Fatty, Lingling, it's me! I'm Lin Fan! Lin Fan said excitedly, he stepped forward and hugged the servants tightly, "It's great to see you again!" ”
"Lin Fan! It's really you! I can't believe it! Everyone laughed and cried, after such a thing, Chen Bo is still so strong, Xue Panru is still so white and fat, Wu Lingling is still so big, everything has not changed, as if they were yesterday, and they just had a dream during the period.
"Huh?! By the way, is there anyone else besides Lin Fan??! Xue Panru shouted, and he rushed out of the room to see if there was anyone behind.
"No, he's the only one." Ji Yutong shook his head and said.
"How did you meet him?" Chen Bo and Wu Lingling hurriedly asked.
"Lin Fan took a Japanese research ship to the vicinity of the Arctic Ocean, was attacked by Ning Enqun and abandoned the ship and fell into the sea, and it happened that we and Dr. Sid's submarine passed by there and found him and brought him back." Ji Yutong said.
"What, what!?" The three of them shouted incredulously.
First mate Li Gang smiled: "I said that you guys don't keep blocking Brother Lin at the door, let him come in and sit down and talk slowly~"
"Yes, yes~ Lin Fan, come in! Let's have a good chat! Chen Bo, Xue Panru and Wu Lingling pulled Lin Fan onto the sofa in the living room, and then the question was thrown at Lin Fan like a series of cannonballs.
Lin Fan talked about what happened during the time of separation, and then asked how they spent their days, and everyone shared their experiences and moods during this time, without noticing that time was passing quickly. By the time they had finished, the clock in the living room had pointed to the middle of the numbers 8 and 9, and they had been in the room all afternoon!
Xue Panru tightly dragged Lin Fan's monkey face mask in his hand, the red dragon and the strange man in the sea that Lin Fan said just now made him have a strong belief in the monkey face mask, and firmly believed that the reason why Lin Fan was able to survive at that time was because he picked up his monkey face mask in the sea.
"What about the three of you, how did you live when Yutong and the first mate were away?" Lin Fan asked as he drank water, his mouth was dry just now.
Xue Panru complained and shouted: "It's a shame~ Like a few of our prisoners, we can't go anywhere except here, and we're all going crazy." ”
"Yes, the thought of being locked up in this life makes me feel like I don't feel good." Chen Bo pillowed his head with his sturdy arms and leaned back on the sofa, looking very lost.
"I'm telling you, Dr. Nasid is a control freak ~ straight man with advanced cancer! I really hate him! Wu Lingling followed and scolded.
"Don't talk about him like that, after all, his life was saved, and during this time with him, I think he is still a reasonable person." Ji Yutong on the side said.
"Ji Xueba, you're here again! ~" Xue Pan how Chen Bo shouted, Wu Lingling also said indignantly: "Yu Tong, are you still talking for that control maniac?" Of course you'll think he's good when he's nice to you, but look at us, it's really no different from prisoners. ”
First mate Li Gang hurriedly persuaded: "Hey, okay, okay~ It's rare for everyone to get together with Brother Lin, don't quarrel happily." ”
Lin Fan had only heard the first mate say that Sid admired Ji Yutong a lot, but he didn't know what the specific situation was, so he asked, "By the way, Yutong, why does that Dr. Sid treat you so favorably?" ”
"Of course, it's because our Ji Xueba has a good mind, is fluent in English, and works diligently~" Xue Panru on the side said half-sarcastically.
"No, it's not, there are many smart people in this place, and Dr. Sid doesn't value me for that, and the reason why he does this to me is because there are things that need the help of me and the first mate."
"Oh? What's going on? "You know that first mate?" Xue Panru looked at her and then at the first mate, it seemed that they, like Lin Fan, didn't know about the matter between Ji Yutong and Dr. Sid.
The first mate spread his hands and said: "Let's let Sister Yutong come to it~ I'm also confused~"
"I think maybe it's because we've seen something he's been looking for." Ji Yutong said.
"Looking for something??"
Ji Yutong nodded and said: "When we were just rescued by Dr. Sid, because I was good at English, I explained to him how we were killed on a scientific expedition to the sea, and I told him that we encountered a huge tsunami on the night of the crash, and there were still dead bodies of monsters like Ning En, but he didn't react, but when I talked about the vision of the light in the sea that night, he was very nervous and sensitive, and desperately asked me where I saw this light at that time, as if he knew what it was. ”
"He found the first mate again, and asked the first mate to tell him in detail about our navigation route, and then immediately sent a fleet to the sea area where our ship was wrecked to search, because the first mate and I were more familiar with our previous voyage, and he also brought us to show him the way, but in the end he found nothing, but he seemed to have been haunted by this matter, so he took me and the first mate out of the sea after that."
"I see......"
"Yutong, why didn't you tell me about this before?" Wu Lingling said.
"These are just my guesses, and I can't say for sure." Ji Yutong replied.
"Huh?!" Chen Bo suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "So Sid may know what that light is, just like Professor Li Dong?" ”
"Boer~ Where did you come to this conclusion?" Xue Panru said.
"Fatty, have you forgotten that night? Professor Li Dong and Linda don't even want their lives, they insist on going to that light! Why would they take such a risk, you say, if they didn't know what that light was? ”
"Oh yes...... It seems that there is such a thing. Xue Panru touched his chin and said.
"You pig's head! You forgot about it so soon?! Chen Bo poked Xue Panru's head with his finger.
"Ouch! ~ Just say don't do it! ”
"Yutong, what is the origin of Dr. Sid? Why would they build a laboratory of this magnitude here in Antarctica? Lin Fan asked.
"Dr. Sid, these people are from an organization called the Constantine Institute, which is backed by the U.S. military." Ji Yutong replied.
"Constantine Institute?!" Lin Fan suddenly shouted.
"What's wrong?" The crowd looked at him in confusion.
Lin Fan hurriedly said: "I've heard people talk about this Constantine Institute!" Professor Li Dong: They stayed there! ”
"What?!" The crowd exclaimed.
"I heard this from a detective in the NSA, and I was drugged by him at the time!"
"Medication?"
"Yes, he injected me with a medicine that made me lose my memory, and later someone from the Japanese Sanyo Group helped me heal, but he showed me the resumes of Professor Li Dong, Linda and Nishimura Yu, and the materials on it clearly stated that they had worked at the 'Constantine Institute'." Lin Fan explained.
"So, Professor Li Dong and they are in the same group as this Dr. Sid?" "Then why is he holding us up? Aren't we students of Professor Li Dong? The crowd chattered.
"It's not surprising that Professor Li Dong has been here...... In addition to the U.S. military, there are many scientists from different countries in this laboratory, and these people are called from all over the world to participate in secret research here......," Ji Yutong said.
"Secret research? ......" Lin Fan suddenly remembered what he had heard from Yusuke Kojima at the Sanyo headquarters in Tokyo, "Professor Li Dong and Dr. Yu Nishimura are involved in the project...... Instituto Constantine...... Uninhabited Antarctica ...... Secret base under the ice sheet...... Neoposeidon Laboratory...... "These clues suddenly connected into a line, like electricity through Lin Fan's brain, and he cried out in a lost voice: "Ah! They call this the 'New Poseidon Laboratory', the god of the sea in Greek mythology! …… Sid: Is the project they're doing here called 'Project Poseidon'? ”
