Chapter 31: The Mysterious Archives
The door was opened, and a damp musty smell mixed with fine dust particles came to his nose, Lu Yan hurriedly covered his nose and took a step into the door, perhaps some kind of induction device was installed, and the lights in the room were automatically turned on, although the light was still weak, but the originally dark room instantly made people feel a lot brighter. The room area www.biquge.info is not large, and the layout is very simple, similar to the impression of the office, with rows of file shelves neatly placed in the center, and file boxes of different sizes and colors are arranged messily on the file shelves. On one side of the room are several old-fashioned desks, there are three in the front and back, each desk is placed with monitors, folders and some paper, it looks like someone has worked here, but the gray-white dust on the desktop and the cobwebs on the monitor indicate that the person working has not been here for a long time, and the more the room goes in, the musty smell becomes, and the air here seems to have been stagnant for many years.
Lu Yan tried to turn on one of the computers, perhaps in disrepair and had long since lost its response. He walked into the shelves and browsed them around, some of the boxes were named, some were not, and some of the scattered materials were scattered on the shelves. Lu Yan casually took out a green file box, shook the dust on the cover, and opened the file box, which was full of various documents, and the document paper had turned light yellow. Lu Yan pulled out one of them, it is about the environmental assessment report of a dam project, seeing the date, Lu Yan was surprised, the date of this information is 2063, for here, this is a 150-year-old information, the general archives have a fixed retention period, as short as 3 years, as long as 10 years, even if it is a file that needs to be preserved for a long time, it will rarely exceed a few decades, this ordinary environmental assessment report has been retained for 150 years, is there any special reason? Lu Yan flipped through the other materials next to him, the content was ordinary and ordinary, but the years were all a hundred years ago, and the paper was only yellow, and the weighing was still full of toughness.
He continued to move forward along the file shelf, and saw a black file box, the shape of this file box was not quite consistent with the others, its back was arc-shaped, which was extra conspicuous in the file shelf, Lu Yan opened the file box, and there was only a thin piece of paper inside, which was a board resolution:
On September 13, the 9th meeting of the board of directors was held, which was presided over by Chairman Yuan Chengzhi, and all 11 directors attended the meeting, and the meeting reached the following resolutions: first, it was unanimously agreed to restructure the assets of New Hope Group; the second is to add Zhu Kewen as a director of the company; Third, the audit report on the Daejeon Valley Tunnel Project was passed; Fourth, it agreed to increase the capital of Exploration Technology Company by 1.5 billion yuan; Fifth, in principle, the project will be restarted through the 'Departure Star Plan'. September 14, 2122. β
Since the end of the last press conference, Lu Yan once again saw the "Star Departure Plan", which can be brought to the board of directors for discussion, which shows the weight. Lu Yan thought of Landi's introduction to the "Departure Star Project", as a scientific research project in medical technology, it is normal for such a long time span, this kind of project often needs to occupy more than 50% of the company's resources and energy, but Lu Yan watched the company's promotional video did not mention this plan, and did not find an introduction related to the development of medical technology, which is really contrary to common sense.
Lu Yan casually took out another file box and opened a notebook inside: "In the 73rd test, we failed again, and the accuracy still did not meet the requirements, this experiment used N1H1 virus samples, the test subjects were three-month-old mice, and the accuracy rate of eliminating the virus was 34%, which was far from the target of 70%. At the regular meeting after the experiment, Team Leader Chen suggested that we abandon the 'formula' and re-study the method of determining accuracy by ourselves, this proposal was opposed by most people, the 'formula' is the basis of our project, and it is also the key to the continued advancement of this technology, I think there is no problem with this 'formula', we just need to be right' The formula is perfected, but there is no idea yet, the atmosphere of the whole project team is negative and frustrating, we don't know how long it will take to finish, maybe it will never be realized. β
There was no time for this note. Lu Yan flipped his notes back casually: "I've never seen this kind of scene, this should be a supernatural phenomenon, I don't know how to explain it, this is completely different from the knowledge and rules I learned in the textbook, they want to save Xiao Li back, but no one dares to go up and catch him, but everyone can only stand there and watch his right arm disappear little by little, as if it is slowly eaten and decomposed by some kind of force, I am afraid that it will continue, I am afraid." The handwriting of this note is crooked, and the person who recorded it seems to be nervous, and their experiment must have been the result of some kind of unexplained accident.
Lu Yan flipped the note to the last page: "Another person has fallen, although he is not in our group, I feel that he is by my side, we are both afraid of the experiment, I don't know what will happen, maybe more people will die in the next experiment." Today I heard the news, perhaps a good news, that for the successive accidents in the experiment, it is said that the relevant authorities are about to conduct an investigation, and the experiment will also be suspended indefinitely. But along with this good news, there is also bad news, the company has no funds to support the project anymore, maybe in less than three months, the company will enter bankruptcy liquidation procedures, and those of us who survived are about to face homelessness. β
Lu Yan closed the note and found that on the back cover, it was written, "What is the purpose of leaving the star?" Underneath this sentence are four crooked words: "I see." The strokes of these four words were connected together, and the last word "δΊ" was dragged to the bottom edge of the back cover, and it could be seen that he was very panicked when writing these four words, perhaps something had happened that forced him to stop writing. The words "Leaving the Star" on the back cover once again attracted Lu Yan's attention, could it be that this is the note of the "Leaving the Star Project"? The author of the note may be the developer of the "Departure Project", what kind of major accident happened to the "Departure Project"? As a medical technology project, this is really puzzling.
Lu Yan put down his notes and looked at the other documents in the file box, all of which were technical documents and briefings, among which there was a group photo with a yellow color, which read "Group photo of all the staff of the fulcrum company's 'Leaving the Star Project'", it looked like more than forty people, everyone was wearing a uniform white uniform and tie, and everyone's face looked full of confidence and smile. Standing in the middle is the old man, with white hair, majestic and solemn, his expression is slightly different from the others, compared to the roster below, the old man's name is Wu Dangfeng, and he is the person in charge of the entire project. Through the refraction of the light, Lu Yan found that on the surface of the plastic seal, there was a faint trace of a fork in the position of the old man's head. This made Lu Yan puzzled, why did such a strange number appear on the photo of a scientific research team, could it be that they all encountered some kind of accident? He thought to himself that since this was a group photo of the project team of Fulcrum Company, the previous record may belong to one of the members, and Fulcrum Company must have encountered an unprecedented danger in research and development, which directly led to the suspension of the project and the bankruptcy of the company. Lu Yan put down the file box and picked up the file box with the same color as it on the side, but there were only some regular file box materials inside, and Lu Yan opened other file boxes one after another, but did not find any useful clues.
The time to check the materials passed quickly, and the order to get off work came from outside the archives, and Lu Yan could only give up the search and walked out of the D-3 archive room.
Walking out of the archive center, Lu Yan woke up Randy and tried to inquire about the situation in the D-3 archive, but Randy didn't seem to know anything about it and didn't gain anything. While walking out of the building, Lu Yan saw Cherry Yang standing outside the door, she saw herself and gave herself a look and walked to the side of the garden, Lu Yan hurriedly stepped forward and chased after Cherry Yang, and the two came to the small garden next to the company. Cherry Yang got straight to the point: "Do you have a lot of questions about me?" β
Seeing that his mind was guessed, Lu Yan nodded: "I want to know why you arranged for me to go to the archive center?" β
"Because I think it's right for you, you'll get something there."
"I don't know what I'm doing, it's not my purpose to organize the files."
"There's the answer you need in the file, doesn't it?" Cherry Yang looked serious, "Your companions don't have access to such resources right now. β
Lu Yan was shocked in his heart, thinking to himself that Cherry Yang was talking about Li Li and Cheng Cheng, "What companions?" β
Cherry Yang smiled heartily, "I don't think you're a liar." Her slender fingers caressed Lu Yan's face, "You're going to like it there." After speaking, he left Lu Yan and walked towards his wind paddle machine.
Cherry Yang's touch made Lu Yan's heart beat faster, but her words made her have mixed feelings, as if her details were all under her control, she was like a bird with a thread on her legs, seemingly free but controlled by others.
In the next few days, Lu Yan still arrived at the D-3 archive on time, trying to find more information about the "Star Departure Project", but there was no more gain.
On this day, when Lu Yan was concentrating on flipping through the archives in the D-3 archive room, there was a knock on the door of "dong dong", Lu Yan put away the file box, opened the door, and found a half-human-tall robot standing outside the door: "Mr. Lu Yan, hello." The robot made a woman's voice.
Lu Yan listened to its voice, saw the various indicator lights on his body, and felt familiar: "Are you ...... Kaka? β
"Yes." Kaka's main indicator flashes green.
Kaka's visit surprised Lu Yan: "Why are you here, shouldn't you be in the Baptist Hospital?" β
Kaka didn't answer, but turned around and walked deeper into the corridor, Lu Yan thought that Kaka was just a low-level assistant robot, and he didn't have the ability to communicate intelligently, so he didn't ask questions, and followed Kaka forward. How did Kaka get in, how did he know he was here, and where was he going to take him? Looking at the slowly moving Kaka, the confusion in Lu Yan's heart became more and more, Kaka's appearance here was too abnormal, once he was discovered, he would definitely be in trouble.
Kaka took Lu Yan and walked forward, I don't know how many rooms he passed, Lu Yan felt that his sweat was a little more every step he took, and he always felt that there was a pair of ears behind the doors on both sides that were quietly listening to him. Kaka walked a little further forward and stopped in front of a door on the right, which read Y-7. The door looks much more high-tech than the D-3, with a sleek metal surface that looks thick and sturdy, and a small display on the side of the handle with a small dark groove underneath the screen. Kaka placed the mechanical tentacle in the dark groove, and a circle of blue light immediately emitted around the handle, and within two seconds, only a "click" was heard, and the lock of the colored door opened.
"Mr. Lu Yan, please come in." Kaka flashed a green light.
Lu Yan held the handle and felt the weight of the door when he pulled it outward, Lu Yan used all his strength to slowly open the door, and the side of the door was half a meter wide, and the locks were densely arranged on it. Lu Yan thought to himself that since a vault-level door was installed, there must be countless gold or jewels hidden in it.
He managed to open the door open, enough for himself and Kaka to enter. At the same time as Lu Yan and Kaka walked in, the door automatically closed again, and the lights in the room were automatically turned on, Lu Yan didn't expect that the space behind this door was at least as big as two basketball courts, there were no furnishings in the room, the walls, roof, and ground were all pure white, and Lu Yan couldn't tell whether he was standing on the ground or being wrapped in a certain space. At the same time that Lu Yan was at a loss, the ground not far away slowly descended, and with the loud sound of stones rubbing, the sinking ground finally formed a square hole. Lu Yan walked to the entrance of the cave and looked down, it turned out to be an underground passage.
