Chapter 57: The Secret Institute

Wei Yi followed Nangong Rong closely and ran all the way. Along the way, Wei Yi kept discovering that there would be some viscous liquid dripping down the entire passage from time to time. A strong, strange smell slowly emanated from the liquid.

Wei Yi sniffed lightly, and felt that it seemed to be the smell of some kind of grass, and it seemed to be the smell of some kind of glue. The smell is not pungent, but has a faint fresh smell. Although Wei Yi wanted to take a closer look, Nangong Rong repeatedly warned him not to touch any abnormal items here.

In order not to make any extraneous branches, Wei Yi could only press the curiosity in his heart. He followed Nangong Rong all the way, through one passage after another, and ran to a slightly open room.

This is a small room of only a dozen square meters. The walls of the room were covered with cracks. There are a lot of items scattered on the ground. Nangong Rong stepped into the gate with one foot and beckoned everyone to enter here quickly.

As soon as Wei Yi entered this room, he smelled a faint smell of earth. He was slightly stunned, and was about to ask. Nangong Rong quickly closed the door of the room, walked to the innermost side of the room in a few steps, and pushed away the debris on the ground.

Wei Yi looked curious and walked forward in a few steps. I saw that on the ground sorted out by Nangong Rong, a circular secret door was revealed. The secret door was as tightly embedded in the ground as the one they had seen at first. There is only one groove in the center, which silently indicates its identity.

Wei Yi instantly understood Nangong Rong's intentions. He hurriedly beckoned everyone to gather around. After Nangong Rong installed the key to open the secret door, soon, this secret door slowly opened like the previous secret door.

After a soft click, an oval-shaped portal slowly unfolded before their eyes. Nangong Rong turned on the lighting equipment in his hand and jumped down first. Wei Yi subconsciously stretched out his head and checked the situation in the lower passage.

He found that the passage was not wide, and only one person was high. Nangong Rong stood underneath that, and he only needed to reach the floor under Wei Yi's feet with just one stretch of his hand. Nangong Rong, who was standing in the passage, turned sideways and beckoned everyone to go down. Wei Yi hurriedly turned on the lighting equipment and jumped down quickly with everyone.

After they all went down, Nangong Rong took out the key again and let the secret door slowly close on its own. Wei Yi took advantage of the light and looked around. He noticed that it seemed to be a closed passageway, and the location they were in now was where it began.

Wei Yizhan looked into the far distance of the passage. There was a black hole there, and there was not even a glimmer of light. In this passage, there is a slight wind, swimming slowly.

Wei Yi walked up to Nangong Rong and asked, "Where are we going?" ”

Nangong Rong pointed to the far part of the passage and said, "In front of it is a secret research institute with a space shuttle in it. Our goal now is that machine. ”

Wei Yi was stunned for a moment, and asked meaningfully: "Space shuttle?" What is this? What is it for? ”

Nangong Rong led everyone forward and explained: "To put it simply, it is a kind of equipment that can travel through space and quickly reach the destination. ”

Wei Yi slowly followed the team and asked suspiciously, "Since there is such a thing, why didn't you use it to escape in the first place?" ”

Nangong Rong smiled bitterly and said, "It's so easy." This thing requires a lot of electricity. No one could have imagined that something like that would happen. So there wasn't enough energy battery to support that machine. ”

Wei Yi asked even more suspiciously: "You didn't have enough to make up at the time, and now there is nowhere to make up." What can we do there? ”

Nangong Rong hurriedly explained: "No. At that time, it was too late to make up, so it was not enough. But all the energy batteries in these packages are added up, and it's enough to make it run. ”

After listening to Nangong Rong's explanation, Wei Yi completely relieved his heart. He was afraid of his own people, so he ran this trip in vain. If everything is really as Nangong Rong said, then it is worth going.

In Wei Yi's heart, he really wanted to know what kind of thing this space shuttle was. A machine that can travel through space, this sounds a little too sci-fi. Wei Yi thought so in his heart, and became curious about Nangong Rong's origin. This person seems to have a lot of secrets that no one knows.

Wei Yi continued to follow the team with the lighting equipment in his hand, slowly advancing. There was only one passage in the passage, and after a few turns in between, it soon came to their destination.

It is an extremely thick metal gate. When Wei Yi and the others walked up to it, Wei Yi could clearly see that there were many uneven marks on its body caused by the squeezing around it.

Those traces were dense, like spider webs, distributed all over the iron gate. It looks extremely hideous and terrifying. Nangong Rong was startled, ran to the iron gate in a few steps, and took a closer look.

After a while, Nangong Rong breathed a sigh of relief, turned to everyone and said, "It's okay." It really scared the hell out of me. I thought it was scrapped. Luckily, nothing happened. ”

Wei Yu hurriedly stepped forward, looked at the iron door, and asked, "This door is squeezed like this, can it still be opened?" ”

Nangong Rong nodded and said, "It can still be opened." It's all memory metal. As long as the tipping point is not exceeded. No problem. ”

As he spoke, he searched the iron door carefully, and found a groove in the door not far from the ground. Nangong Rong took out the special key again and quickly pressed it into the groove.

As soon as the key was pressed into the groove, something strange happened very quickly. With the help of the light, Wei Yi clearly saw that the entire iron gate seemed to come to life. The uneven traces, like ripples on the water, spread rapidly.

In just an instant, the surface of the entire iron gate became extremely smooth and shiny, and there was not even a trace of distortion. Immediately afterwards, the very center of the iron gate began to slowly rotate counterclockwise. From its very central position, a tiny hole began to rotate.

The hole grew larger and larger as the center of the gate rotated, gradually filling the entire center of the gate. A moment later, a hole that could be easily penetrated by one person quietly appeared.

Nangong Rong quickly let everyone go through the hole in turn. He waited for everyone to go in before he got inside, and removed the special key. The hole in the iron door slowly closed behind them. Once again, it became a seamless metal gate.

Only this time, on its surface, there are no traces of squeezing that look extremely hideous. Instead, there is a smooth wall with a very delicate feel.

Wei Yi was very curious about this magical metal, and he had heard the name of memory metal a long time ago. But he never had the chance to see such a thing. I didn't expect him to be able to see the magic of this metal with his own eyes today. It was a feast for his eyes.

Wei Yi followed everyone, under the guidance of Nangong Rong, and continued to walk for a while. When they came to a corner, Nangong Rong asked everyone to stop. He looked around, and by the light, he found a door.

Nangong Rong gently opened the door and said to everyone, "This is the power room. Let's plug it in first. When it's fully charged, we'll be able to get out of here. ”

As he spoke, he walked in first. Wei Yi and the others hurriedly followed and walked in one by one. It was a large and spacious room. Wei Yi looked at it, but by the light, he couldn't see the end of the room.

In this room, there was no such tall equipment as Wei Yi had imagined. Instead, it's just tall objects like glass jars, distributed in an orderly manner throughout the room.

Wei Yi looked at these large glass jars curiously, and asked, "What are these big glass jars for?" If it falls, it won't break, right? ”

Nangong Rong chuckled lightly and explained, "Don't underestimate these big glass jars. It's not glass, it's the latest quantum research. ”

Nangong Rong said, walked to one of the glass jars in a few steps, took out an energy battery, and put it close to the glass jar. Wei Yi clearly saw that as soon as the glass touched the energy battery, a faint blue light quickly filled the entire tank.

A small hole about the size of an adult man's palm quietly appeared on the tank. Wei Yi saw Nangong Rong delicately stuff the energy battery in his hand into the small hole. As soon as the energy battery is placed in the hole, the hole closes quickly.

A burst of blue light slowly emanated from the location of the small hole. The blue light slowly filled the entire tank. In just a moment's effort, the entire tank began to emit a dazzling blue light.

Wei Yu hurriedly closed his eyes and covered the dazzling blue light with his hands. It was a moment before he dared to open his eyes and look at the glass jar.

A strange scene quietly unfolded in front of Wei Yi's eyes. I saw that in the center of the glass jar, there was a blue ball of light, which was constantly emitting a soft blue light. Around the blue light cluster, there are still electric currents converging towards that light cluster.

And as those currents continued to be injected, the blue light cluster gradually became larger and larger. It slowly evolved from the size of a fist to the size of a human head, and it continued to grow in size.

Wei Yi looked at all this in surprise, and asked Nangong Rong in confusion: "This, what is this?" What did you just do with it? ”

Nangong Rong took out an energy battery again, and while stuffing the energy battery into the glass jar, he said to Wei Yi and the others: "This jar is composed of an extremely small quantum energy body. I don't know exactly what it is made of and where it comes from. But it can store thousands of times more energy than a battery of the same volume. ”

After stuffing an energy battery, he walked over to another tank in a few steps and continued: "This kind of thing, as long as you inject energy into it, it will be able to operate, and it can make the most efficient use of the energy we injected. It's like this energy battery in my hand. ”

As he spoke, he raised the newly taken out energy battery in his hand and said, "This battery, we can usually use it for a few days, and after the extraction of these quantum tanks, it can be used for nearly a month." Reduces a lot of unnecessary losses. ”

Such an answer is simply unbelievable for a civilian like Wei Yi. But in this era of highly developed technology, such technology is not too surprising.

Wei Yi shrugged his shoulders and said, "If I can have such a thing at home, I can save a lot of electricity bills." You have such a good thing, why don't you promote it? ”

As he spoke, he also helped to charge the quantum tank together. Nangong Rong didn't seem to hear Wei Yi's question just now, but just kept stuffing energy batteries into several tanks beside him. Soon, the entire underground research room slowly lit up.
