Chapter 342: Excited Guests
Although it is a small spaceship, the small cargo ship is also nearly 100 meters long and 40 meters wide. There are also 6 or 7 storeys high. Far bigger than anything they had ever seen that could fly.
When the cargo ship passed by the nearby air, it felt like a small fish in the water seeing a giant whale passing by it. It's hard to describe the psychological pressure and shock.
These sights were an eye-opener for those who came to visit, and at the same time, some of them were more worried and fearful. Because they can't understand the details of this place anymore. But the old man in the neat robe didn't react like that.
After seeing the strong military here, he was relieved. Previously, he was afraid of the people here, mainly because he speculated that it was probably the Americans who were occupying Dubai now.
In the difficult times of the previous two years, he was here to ruthlessly trap some of the American soldiers who did all kinds of evil after the crisis.
So he was worried that if the other party was an American, they would settle accounts with him and kill him after discovering his true identity and what he had done, or worse, take out anger on his deployment.
But now it seems that the level of technology here is simply too high, not at all like what the Americans can achieve. Even if they were still strong, world peace would not be able to build the spaceship just now.
The status of the elderly before the crisis was not low. A big country like the United States probably has a few pounds and a few taels, and he still has a concept in his heart.
According to that vague concept, it is absolutely impossible for the Americans to come up with so many weapons and vehicles that he has never seen before in these two years. Especially the oversized flying object that Jonathan explained was a cargo ship.
So in other words, it is definitely not the American who occupies this place at this time, and it is very likely that he does not know what he has done to the original American troops here. You may not even care if you know it!
Thinking of this, the old man calmed down, and at this time, they also reached the downstairs of the Burj Khalifa. From here, the entire building rises into the sky. And it's brightly lit, and it looks like it was before the crisis.
The old man was very moved when he saw this, because he had been here many times in the good old days. He even attended the groundbreaking and completion ceremony of this super building.
Who would have thought that he would come back now, years later, after being away from this place for so long, in such a peculiar way? If his old friends, who were also in a prominent position, were still alive, they would not have believed it.
When the old man thought of this. Jonathan had led them up the long staircase in front of the building and pushed open one of the doors in the hall.
The old man noticed that it looked the same as it did two years ago. The door frames and floors were spotlessly clean. Very clean. It looks like this place has been occupied by the mysterious World Reconstruction Committee for some time.
Seeing that the cleaning work here is so good, maybe the other party has been here for a few months! The old man thought so, but he was wrong.
In fact, dusting the entire building is the easiest and fastest part of the so-called maintenance work, because Shen Chao not only brought a group of cleaning machines that can be specially responsible for cleaning work, but also brought a batch of ultrasonic dust collectors.
This is a very common cleaning appliance in the world of Mass Effect, and many buildings even have fixed components on it. A few days ago, after Shen Chao and the others restored the main systems of the building, they also carried out a cleaning work on the inside and outside of the building. Make sure that their temporary command headquarters can welcome new members in the future with a new look.
They programmed the building to clean the building, then they installed a few of these ultrasonic dust collectors on the floors of the building, and then left for a few hours before returning with a brand new look.
All kinds of dust and mud spots hidden in the corners and crevices of the wall were shaken out by the continuous ultrasonic vibration, and after that, the people cleaned up the dust that fell on the ground a little. The whole building has been transformed into a brand new shape.
Back in the present, the guests followed Jonathan into the hall, and they finally met the other "people".
That's right, not the large number of humanoid people they had just seen, but two heavily armed men armed with unknown firearms, wearing the same armor as their guides.
The two men stood motionless in front of a barrier in the hall, like sculptures. Seeing Jonathan bring someone over, he announced that anyone who wanted to go upstairs would need to go through a security check.
Under their instructions, the guests were sequentially gated through a wide frame that looked like a security gate. It's said to be wide because the size of that security gate is outrageous.
It's a big shelf that's 4 meters high and 3 meters wide, and it doesn't look like it's designed for humans, but they guessed right, the size of this door is really not specifically designed for humans.
This security gate is a security gate that is brought to Citadel Security Standards from the world of Mass Effect. The security gates were oversized to accommodate the difference in size between the tall Krogan and the diminutive Waller in the Citadel's space.
Through the scanning of this high-tech security gate, an accurate full-body scan of each of them is quickly generated in the terminal and automatically analyzed and evaluated for threats. It can scan and identify tens of thousands of drugs and dangerous goods. The accuracy of the scan results is also very high.
Even if you have half a piece of almost digested beef hidden in your stomach, the security gate can easily spot this and identify its structure and composition in a short time.
Soon, everyone went through the security check, and several soldiers temporarily confiscated their firearms and weapons in the process. After going through security, they were taken to the third floor in the elevator.
This is the floor of the Burj Khalifa's original hotel and restaurant, and now there is a makeshift restaurant ready to welcome them with exquisite dishes and music.
But there was a fly in the ointment, or it was a great pity that no one was present to welcome them. There are only a few machines that are responsible for serving in the restaurant.
Jonathan took them here and left quickly. He's done with today's mission, and he's going back to his living quarters for dinner.
Before leaving, he did not forget to inform the guests that the Reconstruction Committee would send representatives to talk to them in detail after they had dinner. Let them wait patiently.
Hearing him say this, what he saw and heard outside on the plane just now, although the guests were reluctant to let him go like this, they could only accept this arrangement.
Some of the guests who had not yet eaten dinner hurriedly swept away the delicious dishes on the table, while those who were full of doubts and worries looked at the exquisite dishes in front of them.
Half an hour later. Their request to see the person in charge was finally granted, and they were taken to a higher floor in an elevator, led by a team of security guards.
After sitting in the high-speed elevator for more than a minute. They stopped on the 154th floor, nearly 600 meters above the ground, where the highest office area of the former Burj Khalifa was located, and the upper floors were the only floors responsible for the installation of broadcasting communications and machinery and maintenance equipment.
Here, they met a few more humans wearing that high-tech armor. The soldiers, who were in charge of security duties, stopped the entourage in the crowd and conducted a second security check on the remaining leaders.
Once security was confirmed, the leaders from the various settlements were allowed to continue their way up under the leadership of a heavily armed soldier.
As mentioned earlier. This is the highest level of the original Burj Khalifa office area, but it is not the highest part of the current area. Today, the topmost office area is the 201st floor, which is nearly 800 meters above the ground, where Shen Chao's temporary office is. Go up 5 floors further, and add the antenna to the spire of the Burj Khalifa.
Riding the elevator all the way, after the elevator opened, the guests were amazed, and the most surprised of them was undoubtedly the old man in the white robe. The 201st floor in front of him was completely different from what he remembered.
As soon as I got out of the elevator. They saw a rather large and empty semi-circular room in front of them, and assumed that the entire floor must be butterfly-shaped. The only thing they could see in the room was a table and a chair.
The lighting in the room is dim, creating a strong contrast to the dazzling night view of the city outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. There seemed to be no one in the room.
As a floor originally designed to house electronic devices, this floor was originally very small. There is only about 100 square meters of interior space. In order to make it suitable for office and living, the entire 200th and 201st floors have been completely remodeled.
The unnecessary walls were removed and replaced with other high-strength material roofs, and the two floors were expanded into a saucer-shaped structure.
The remodeled floors look a bit like the top floor of the Stratosphere Hotel in Las Vegas, with a large plate strung together on the top of the building.
However, due to the small size of the extension, the saucer-like structure looks so unobtrusive that guests don't even notice that it has been remodeled on the ground floor.
Today, the area is about 600 square meters, and the office is in the form of a large ring that surrounds the elevator shaft in the center and the supporting structure of the building.
This unique circular office is surrounded by angled floor-to-ceiling windows on all four sides, allowing you to see the city from all directions.
Just as the guests wondered if there was no one here, there was a sound of footsteps coming from the side, and with the footsteps, some of the low-light lamps in the room lit up. Two figures appeared in front of them.
"Welcome, everyone......" Shen Chao, dressed in the regular uniform of the Star Alliance Navy, appeared in front of them with Dr. Neville. He thought about showing up in a formal suit or something.
But in the end, after thinking about it, I still appeared like this. Because he thought that they were here to build an army this time anyway, and there was no need to dress themselves up as Shenma civilian or politicians.
Sadly, the guests didn't care about what he was wearing or who he was, as they immediately turned their attention to him as soon as they saw Dr. Neville beside him. It's been two years, and they've finally seen a possible savior.
"Doctor, is that vaccine real?" Where can I get vaccinated? ......" As soon as Dr. Neville's appearance was confirmed, the guests were a little breathless, and several of them immediately asked, regardless of the fact that they had not yet introduced each other.
"Calm down, everyone. Let's ......" Dr. Neville was caught off guard by the question, and hurriedly pointed to Shen Chao, motioning for the people in front of him to listen to him.
"I know you have a lot of questions, but don't worry, we have time to make it clear, please come with me......" Shen Chao smiled and said, not paying attention to the attitude of people who almost ignored him just now.
There are priorities, and in the eyes of these disaster-stricken people, Dr. Neville and his antiviral vaccine are far more important than anything else. Their reactions are quite normal. (To be continued.) )
