"But when this happens, it looks like the layout of the third floor will probably need to be changed."
Dong Xuan didn't want to put a time bomb in his future research center, so no matter what, he needed to look and see how to solve this problem further.
"I've invested nearly four billion dollars here, which basically accounts for eighty percent of the total amount of money that a few forces can move! You can't just leave it in the water."
With this in mind, Dong Xuan walked through the bright underground office area and walked to a separate office room. Next to an elevator with a sign that says no.
After reaching out to verify the fingerprint, the elevator suddenly opened slowly.
However, Dong Xuan did not step forward immediately, but instead stretched out his hand and pointed, and a miserable green light with a cold aura suddenly hit an inconspicuous pattern like a decorative pattern.
Hit by the miserable green light, the whole interesting petal-like pattern suddenly seemed to come to life, emitting a burst of blue brilliance...
After making sure that the magic circle was activated, Dong Xuan walked in with Anina.
All of this looks weird and complicated, but to put it bluntly, it's just a simple verification rune array hidden in that pattern, and this kind of thing is often used as a door lock by arcanists in the Destruction Universe.
For Dong Xuan and the arcane humans with the special verification rings he gave, this was just a matter of moving a finger, but for ordinary humans, this was a completely unsolvable problem, and the gap between different civilization systems was not so easy to cross.
And if you don't walk into the elevator after just the steps, what will greet this intruder will be the fate of tasting the meal specially prepared by Dong Xuan, believe me, it will definitely be very cool, and make these unlucky eggs unforgettable...
After passing the first and only barrier that had been completed so far, Dong Xuan soon came to an empty cave with the slight vibration of the elevator.
The entire underground space is currently about three meters high, and the bare stone walls and soil are currently supported by steel plates, wooden frames, and protective nets that are dense like spider webs.
Stepping up to the slightly damp ground and heading towards the depths of the cavern, which was slightly dim under the light of the light bulb, Dong Xuan and Anina soon saw the crowd of people who were at a distance, as well as a transparent partition wall like a glass cover, and a huge building complex that was faintly visible...
"Master, Miss Annina, you're here!"
The director of the Arcane Human was first saluted respectfully when he saw Dong Xuan, and then hurriedly began to report back on the situation when he developed here.
"At that time, I was organizing people to open up the space of the third rubbing area C, but a worker who was using a rock-turning machine to break the rock suddenly developed a piece of volcanic rock and revealed a white reflection, at first everyone thought that the diamonds in the volcanic rock had been found, but as the broken units became larger and larger, we soon found out that something was wrong."
Speaking of this, he pointed sideways to the "glass cover" behind him, which was more than a person tall and more than two meters wide, and continued with some uneasiness:
"It was so big and unusually smooth that we quickly decided that it wasn't a diamond, but we didn't expect it to become larger and larger as we explored it on both sides, and when we always shined a flashlight on it, we found that it was as transparent as glass, and we could faintly see a city-like silhouette behind it."
At this, he couldn't help but moan.
"God, the geological report said that this volcanic island was at least 30,000 years old, when even the oldest civilization was not even born! So who built these things that are clearly beyond the current scientific and technological capabilities of the earth? Could it be aliens?! ”
"Relax"
Dong Xuan patted the shoulder of this guy who was obviously a little frightened.
"Anyway, aren't they still destroyed in the end? Tens of thousands of years have passed, and I don't believe anything is alive..."
Infected by his relaxed tone, the panicked expressions of the surrounding crowd eased somewhat, but Dong Xuan actually only knew it in his heart, and he didn't know anything in his heart.
However, as the supreme commander here, he could not show the slightest flustery.
If even he panicked, then these subordinates and the black slaves who were captured would undoubtedly be even more frightened, coupled with the dim and lonely environment underground, there would be a possibility of bombing the camp!
So, his immediate priority now is to find a way to distract these people and let their brains pretend to be something else, instead of always focusing on fear.
"This thing has always been like this, no other reaction?"
Picked up a handful of heads from the ground and knocked on the "glass cover", the sound made when it hit was unexpectedly dull, and it didn't look like glass, after all, it was made of brittle materials.
"That's right, if it was really glass, it was estimated that it would have melted down directly when it encountered a volcanic eruption, how could it be preserved completely after tens of thousands of years underground?"
Feeling that this thing does not seem to be in danger, under the eyes of everyone, Dong Xuan tentatively reached out and touched it, and found that this protective cover was not as cold as expected, although it was hard and smooth to the touch, but in terms of temperature, there was a feeling like touching rubber, and the heat insulation performance was definitely very good.
"In that case, it's possible that the eruption of the ancient volcano didn't cause much damage to the things inside."
Dong Xuan's heart suddenly began to weigh up.
This is undoubtedly a thing that has both advantages and disadvantages.
It is advantageous because it is very likely that many things in it will be preserved intact, and these things are undoubtedly extremely precious to him.
Just like what the director said just now, judging from the technology level displayed by this shield, it is definitely much higher than the current human science and technology level, as long as he can learn from some of it, it is enough for him to instantly climb the first level of technology tree!
But because of this, Dong Xuan was also very worried that some of the defense mechanisms in it had been completely retained.
After all, from this point of view, it is obvious that the scale should not be inferior to that of a modern urban complex, and it is impossible for a building complex to be defenseless at all, and these unknown things will inevitably bring unknown dangers
"I don't know, maybe I'll meet a few living aliens."
Knocking on this protective shield again and feeling his thickness, Dong Xuan pondered for a long time and finally decided to find a way to go in and have a look.
Even if it wasn't for those unknown treasures, it was for his huge investment in this base, he was not willing to let this thing block the construction of the base.
As for ignoring it, it's even more of a joke!
Dong Xuan didn't dare to gamble with most of his wealth, this thing would not pose any unknown dangers, you must know that this is more than fifty meters above the ground, if there is an accident, there will definitely be no one in the entire third layer who can run away.
The most important thing is that, apart from himself, he now has more than sixty arcane humans gathered under his hands, and none of them will "pass through the wall".
Level 5 Arcane - Earth Elemental Void, although this primary arcane is not powerful, it can allow the user to temporarily merge with various earth and stones, and achieve the effect of shuttling through various entities.
Although this traversal state can only last for a few seconds due to the low level of the arcane, it is enough to do a lot of things, and it can be called the magic skill of urban thieves and perverts!
Just now, Dong Xuan deliberately tested it and found that this arcane technique was actually effective against that kind of protective shield, which was also the most basic reason why he finally decided to go in and take a look.
"Unexpectedly, the first time I used this 'pervert' magic skill, it was not to peep at the beauty out of the bath, but to explore the dead city of an 'alien'! It's really unappetizing."
Of course, Dong Xuan didn't plan to send him to death after all, and all kinds of preparations still needed to be done before going in.
Because the first two floors had already been put into use, the materials hoarded in the warehouse were still very sufficient in terms of types, and soon some of the equipment necessary for exploring the unknown region was delivered to Dong Xuan.
Full body protective clothing, matching oxygen cylinders, headlamps, multi-functional military shovels, compasses, compressed biscuits, pistols, AK47
"Annina, I know you're worried about me, but what kind of fuss are you going to make with such a lot of stuff?!"
Looking at the various things that the nervous Anina got that were piling higher and higher, like a hill, Dong Xuan was almost powerless to complain.
The food or something is normal, and the multi-purpose military shovel seems to be usable, but what the hell do you take out a set of field tents and sleeping bags? When is this going camping?
Of course, Anina has a good reason to do the same. "It's called being prepared! And who made you want to take an adventure, if something happens to you, what can I do?! ”
Faced with the sudden explosion of a certain kitten that had been unusually quiet, someone decisively coaxed.
After that, Dong Xuan completely lost the right to speak, and could only watch Anina choose for a long time, and picked out one from the pile of clothes carried by several people and compared it to him.
"Here, dear, dear open your arms, try if this new body armor fits"
At this moment, someone's heart is undoubtedly broken
"I just want to go and see the other side! There is an abnormal environment to adapt to this arcane art, and these things like biochemical protective suits are all unnecessary! ”
In the end, with black lines on his face, he still lost the protective suit that Annina finally chosen, which was formerly a deep-sea diving suit, and only changed into a sturdy special forces field operation suit.
Then bring an oxygen mask, as well as a large backpack with tools and spare food, and most importantly, an analyzer to record images and analyze the composition of the air and soil.
Of course, all kinds of arcane props were equipped on his body early.
What are the arcane bracers, rings, rings, necklaces, and inner armor protection, even if they fall directly into the magma, Dong Xuan has the confidence to climb out before being harmed.
When Dong Xuan finished preparing, perhaps because of the fear of unknown dangers, Anina obviously became a little excited.
"We must come back safely, we don't want it here!"
"Don't worry, there are still too many beautiful things waiting for me to experience, and I won't take risks easily."
A handful of comfort, while keeping Anina's soft body, Dong Xuan kissed her cheek, and immediately noticed the crystal in the corner of her eye
"When did Anina become so clingy?"
It dawned on him that he seemed to have been ignoring something all this time
"When I get back, accompany me to meet your parents. Although they should have known about me for a long time, it seems a little unreasonable to abduct other people's treasures and not show their faces."
STANDING UP FOR A DEFUFF, ANNINA, WHO WAS SURPRISED, CONTINUED TO SNUGGLE WITH HIM FOR A WHILE, AND HER MOOD FINALLY STABILIZED, AND DONG XUAN ALSO DECIDED TO GO.
Putting on a mask and activating the arcane, his body instantly turned into a phantom and easily passed through the transparent protective shield, floating in the air and waving his hand at Anina, he continued to fall towards the buildings below, and soon, disappeared from everyone's limited vision
