Chapter 282: The Underground Secret Room
At four o'clock in the summer afternoon in the 10th region of the earth, the daylight is still shining.
The proximity of Novoneva Union to District 2, which is located within the Earth's Arctic Circle, is now under the cover of the polar day, making the summer days in the city of Novoneva, which is a little closer, extremely long.
Of course, the dark nights in winter are also extraordinarily long.
Such a long and heavy seasonal rotation has raised many great people in history in this land.
When Lu An walked on the 19th Avenue, Fang Buddha was also infected by the atmosphere of this land, and his breathing became long and heavy.
He had already made up his mind.
Pushing open the glass door of Gallo's store, he was met by the playful gaze of the middle-aged man, and the man named Gallo seemed to be very sure of Lu An's choice.
He had already leisurely drunk the third bottle of wine, the three empty wine bottles were neatly arranged on the glass counter, he only smiled at Lu An who pushed the door in, beckoned, and turned around and walked towards the room behind the counter.
Walking to the door, seeing that Lu An was indifferent, he continued to signal Lu An to follow, and the two entered the depths of this Gallo store one after the other.
In the room behind entering the counter, there is a long corridor, only about two people wide, narrow and dim, the afternoon sunlight scatters in, and only illuminates the distance of ten meters, but the corridor is dark and deep, as if it extends infinitely forward.
Lu An followed Gallo into the corridor, and more than ten meters of light, the figures of the two quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Lu An, who was in the dark, followed Gallo's footsteps forward, walked about ten meters, and began to feel that the surrounding terrain was decreasing, as if walking on a downward slope.
Then, Gallo's footsteps in front of him stopped, and his voice echoed in the hallway, "Be careful, hold on to the wall and turn right." β
Lu An frowned, did as he said, walked a few more steps, and the terrain dropped even more, and then Gallo said again: "Hold on to the wall, turn left." β
Then, the terrain descended more and more obviously, and Gallo's words rang out from time to time in the winding corridor.
"Buttress the wall, turn right."
"Turn left."
"Turn right."
In this way, turning left and right alternately twelve times, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in Lu An's eyes.
"Here we are."
As soon as Gallo's voice came out, the footsteps stopped.
At this time, Lu An looked up by the light, and there was indeed a black ceiling shadow above his head, and he was already underground.
Twelve alternate left and right turns, circling the descending corridor passage, Lu An silently estimated the descending height of the buttress wall between his left and right turns, and he was now about twenty meters deep underground.
After a few more steps, the previous glimmer of light grew brighter in the dimness, and the outline of a door loomed in the light.
Lu An couldn't help but ask, "All the way, why is it pitch black?" β
Gallo turned to look at Lu An, his face was huge and half hidden in the darkness, he sneered, and said disdainfully: "Usually there is only one person, do you pay me for the extra electricity bill?" β
This surprised Lu An a little, he originally thought that Gallo would not answer this question, or would say some other reason, but he was afraid that he would answer it coldly.
He spread his hands and replied, "Well, when I didn't ask." β
Gallo, on the other hand, stood by the lamp, put his hand on the door, turned his head, and said, "I hope that whatever you see later, when you get out of here, you will better be able to forget." β
"Hmm." Lu An agreed casually.
Gallo pushed the door open, as if the sun suddenly appeared in the dark, and the dazzling light shot out from the door, in the dark and dim environment, Lu An couldn't help but raise his head and cover his eyes.
After dozens of seconds with his eyes closed, he lowered his head and tried to open his eyes, and before Lu An could carefully observe the situation inside the door, he heard Gallo's voice.
"Hurry up and come in with me."
Lu An lowered his head, stared at his toes, and stepped into the dazzling door.
And when Lu An's eyes adjusted to the sudden arrival of the light and could raise his head to observe the surrounding situation normally, he found that the light inside the door was actually not very bright, and if compared with the sunny summer afternoon outside, it was still gloomy and dim.
It's just that just now, after experiencing the winding and winding descending corridor, the eyes that have adapted to the darkness suddenly saw the light, so I felt that the light was dazzling.
At this time, Lu An looked around again, and saw that in addition to the middle-aged man Gallo who led the way unhurriedly in front, there were rows of tall bookshelves on the left and right, nearly three meters high, and the left and right sides extended about five meters each, which was far larger than the bookshelves in his father's study that he had in his impression when he was a child.
Gallo in front of him didn't look back, so Lu An slowed down slightly, squinting his eyes, and observing the contents of the bookshelf.
After walking two or three rows, Lu Anxin couldn't help but be a little surprised.
As far as his eye could see, the rows of shelves were neatly lined up with books with red covers, or maybe they weren't books at all, but like volumes of papers, as could be seen from the names of a few topics that Lu An had casually targeted.
On the role model of cultivation base in a fast-growing environment......
On the control of the mechanism of interaction between the gene control and the microenvironment in the human nucleus......
Validation of a Full Variable Model of Humoral Indicators of Human Immune System......
Etcetera.
Lu An suddenly understood that even though the middle-aged man in front of him now seemed to be down, he seemed to have never given up his pursuit of the professional field in private, and he had built a large-scale secret room in this dark underground and collected such a huge amount of information, if it was really estimated, it would be no less than a small library.
When Lu An walked to the deepest part of this row of bookshelves and followed Gallo to the right to move deeper, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
This personββ,s talent back then is probably amazing! Otherwise, according to what he said, he would not have been summoned by his father to participate in that somewhat mysterious so-called research.
Was this research really initiated by a father? But after all, so many people were killed.
Ayu explained to herself, giving the box to the man in front of her, I am afraid it is not only her own meaning, but also the meaning of her mentor, the "little girl from the sea of Venus" in Gallo's mouth, in their eyes, this man is trustworthy and trusting, and he has the ability to continue to do something.
And now it seems that this is indeed the case.
Lu An has found out along the way that maybe this man fell out with his father back then and left what he called "the little girl from the sea of Venus", but he didn't really give up on himself.
Look at the rows of bookshelves, no, I should say that there are a total of twenty-five rows of bookshelves, each row is a library of papers from a certain year. The thin spine of those paper brochures is clearly marked with the date, which should be the date of publication.
The third row that Lu An first saw was the year 394 of the galaxy calendar, and the last row was the year 416 of the galaxy calendar, so thinking about it, from the year 392 to 416 of the galaxy calendar, it was exactly twenty-five years, and it was exactly twenty-five rows of bookshelves.
Lu An could even imagine that for the past twenty-five years, this man had lived in seclusion on the shores of Lake Ladoga in the 10th district, and spent the rest of his days in this underground secret room, studying these huge and scalp-numbing materials.
No wonder, he said, that the zigzag descending corridor was pitch black because he couldn't pay the electricity bill. Maybe he didn't just ridicule Lu An, but told his true situation by the way.
It's just that Lu An is a little curious, these twenty-five rows of bookshelves, the database of the past twenty-five years, came from this?
As far as Lu An knows, let alone paper books, even the manufacture of paper has now become a luxury, human beings are all over the five planets in the solar system, but there are not even five factories producing paper in the solar system.
Three, and there are only three factories in the entire solar system that can produce paper today.
One is on Mars, which seems to be the property of Lin Yonghuan's family, and the other two are on Earth, one of which is in Zone Zero, which is dedicated to some confidential purposes on Union Peak, and the paper used by Lu An on weekdays comes from this, which may be the only privilege that his surname has brought him in the past ten years. The other one, located in District 22, is not exclusively for confidential purposes, but it is not very accessible to people at will.
So, in the underground secret room of this middle-aged man Gallo, where did the paper come from?
In addition, the intellectual resources of human beings are now inseparable from that virtual world, and no one has ever needed to write or publish their papers on paper. The huge library of papers in front of Lu An, could it be that someone made it specifically for Gallo? Or was it the man himself who collected it from the interstellar synchronization network and wrote it on paper that came out of nowhere?
Lu An himself shook his head and denied this conjecture.
The handwriting on the red cover was obviously printed, and Lu An, who was accustomed to paper, was very sure of this.
Moreover, at this time, Lu An also remembered that Su Ruyu once laughed at his own words, not everyone can't live without the interstellar synchronization network, at least Su Ruyu is not, and she has seen it with her own eyes.
What's more, who is it, now Lu Anxin has already had the answer, it is the middle-aged man in front of him, Gallo.
In terms of Su Ruyu's experience, only a limited number of people can impress her, and the Gallo in front of her who was entrusted with her relics is one of them.
Lu An thought back to all his contacts with Gallo today, and found that this man seemed to be the one who was cut off from the brain and the interstellar synchronization network.
There are no obvious traces left by the long-term use of the wrist brain or the helmet brain on his wrist or neck, and it is easy to understand from his experience and identity why he is so deliberately isolated from the world.
In this way, it is even more puzzling that a man who is isolated from the world, except for the few residents on this street, can hardly have good contact with the outside world, but can have a huge library of papers, and the rows of bookshelves have not been cut off for twenty-five years, and they will not fall from the sky out of thin air.
Just as he was following Gallo to turn right, so many thoughts flashed through Lu Anxin.
Although this underground secret room seems to be secluded and mysterious, it seems that it is not as mysterious as the man in front of him.
Although, when he vented his emotions in the shop on the ground just now, he told a lot of past experiences and revealed a lot of identity information, but those scaly claws made people feel even more obscure.
What his father went through back then, for as long as he can remember, has always been shrouded in the shadow of his father's majestic body, even if he is no longer there, he has always been like a spaceship standing in front of the ship number 32703 not long ago, and he can only look up at everything in the shadows from his father.
The so-called mystery has always been because everything is only looming in the shadows.
