Moonlit Night's Retreat, Templar Academy, underground. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The steel gears snapped together, rubbing against each other with a slight rumbling sound, and the elevator slid down the iron cable unfast and slow, shuttling between the other half of the facility, the other half built underground.
The Templar Research Institute is located in the northerner part of the Silent Court, it undertakes all the needs from the Moon Night Realm, and then develops the best products, from the more convenient production props to the secret development of weapons, and because of its nature, it cannot be established anywhere else, it is too important, so it must exist in the gathering place of the strongest combat power in the Moon Night Realm, that is, the Silent Court.
However, the most important reason is that all the apocalypse recovered by the Moonlit Night Realm is kept in the deepest part of this facility, because it is the only place where the most secure protection systems can be developed, and these systems are directly managed by the most privileged personnel in the research department.
The man stood silently in the falling elevator, watching the numbers on the spreadsheet representing the floors bouncing downward, and as the elevator fell, he could hear the noise coming from the various floors, probably the researchers were in full swing conducting some research, they were arguing with each other about their opinions, or they were operating some equipment, and the equipment made the sound of gears turning, or they were cheering for the success of the experiment.
It may also be that they learned about the dire situation that Jing Ting was in at this time, and they were anxiously imagining the scene of the attack on the research institute and their helpless appearance, after all, the value of this facility was comparable to the combat power of the entire Moonlit Night Knights, and the Moonlit Night Realm was able to quickly redevelop after the war, relying on the combination of the two.
Those researchers are just unarmed ordinary people with too much brainpower.
When the man thought of coming in, he saw that the guards specially arranged at the gate were all elite knights specially selected in the Knights. He smiled softly and waited for the end of the upcoming elevator car.
It's also weird, the man takes the elevator and makes a forced landing, from the noisy floor all the way to the end, but he is not watched by everything, whether he is a man or a machine, as if his existence is just a ball of air, like a piece of ice falling into a raging fire.
There was a crisp sound of "ding", and the falling elevator came to an abrupt end, the number of floors was displayed at -5, the 5th underground floor, and the last floor of the Templar Research Institute, the elevator door slowly opened, leaking a faint light inside, as if opening the entrance to another world, and the man pushed aside the people on both sides, and an amazing scene appeared.
The open metal passages of the road stretched straight into the darkness in the distance, and on both sides of the road were lined up sealed spaces, made of transparent tempered glass plates, and the things placed in the spaces were different, including chariots carrying ten types of turrets of different sizes, lengths and widths, cannons three or four meters long that looked like giants, swords and halberds inlaid with strange parts, and huge objects in the shape of birds made of stacked metal plates......
The 5th basement floor of the Templar Research Institute is like a fantastical and mysterious museum, and this museum displays not specimens of flowers, birds, insects and fish, but the condensation of science and technology of this era!
The man also seemed to be shocked by this astonishing sight, and the moment he stepped through the door, he couldn't help but blow a bright whistle, which echoed in this relatively confined space, and a thick mechanical breath swirled in his nose. He admired the various novelties stored on both sides, but he did not slow down because of this, as if no amount of shocking things could overwhelm his eagerness to go to his goal.
"Oh, is this the underground storage area of the Institute, all the unfinished and secret things that need to be kept for a long time are here, and I really have to admire the heads of the group of people who nest here every day, can think of so many interesting things, and complete them to this extent," the man's voice rippled underground, "If there were these things at that time, they wouldn't be as ridiculous as they are now." ā
Halfway down the aisle, the man's gaze was suddenly attracted by the things stored in several display cases, which were a black shadow in the form of a human, but it was two to three times the height of an ordinary adult, and the physique was as burly as a beast, with edges and corners everywhere on his body. It was a bunch of tall humanoid mechs, some of them wearing weapons. But visiting the deepest part of this space is clearly a technical or theoretical mistake that left it unfinished.
But it's still impressive.
"Is this what you did, the answer to the second effort," the man smiled, "it's you, but either way, we don't have much time." As he spoke, he gripped his chest, and quickly took it again, he was wearing a black hood that covered his whole body, and the hood was so loose that he could not see his face at this time.
"Are we in such a hurry," he continued, walking towards the end of the aisle, his voice echoing all around, "but we weren't given a chance to move slowly from the beginning. ā
"We've even died, at one point. ā
The man walked to the end, but he didn't even look at what the end was, turned sideways to count the display space on the left, he silently recited a few counts in his heart, and then took a few steps back, and stopped in front of the door of a display room, the door was very dilapidated, it was full of peeling paint and scratch-like scars, and it looked like it had long been scrapped, and this array pavilion was also empty, dusty glass, and saw that there was nothing inside, only a few scattered cargo boxes.
He pulled out a white card from his bosom, pure white without any patterns, and the man fumbled with the edge of the door, sliding it through a hidden hollow. A rumbling sound rang out all around, and from inside the door came the unique sound effect of the electronic device working, the dead door, as if it had been re-energized as the card slid through its body, and woke up from what should have been an eternal slumber to continue its mission.
This was followed by a shrill siren, and the red warning lights flashed at the same time, and the light and sound filled the entire five underground floors, which was a signal of crisis. The man's face changed suddenly, obviously not expecting this sudden situation, he sighed, watched the door in front of him slowly open from bottom to top, and shouted repeatedly in his heart, hurry, hurry!
At the same time, the Templar Research Institute, three basement floors, controls the center.
A teenager who was lying in front of the terminal computer was awakened by the sudden sound of the alarm, accidentally planted from the seat, and when he fell, his head hit the edge of the table, and he screamed in pain, and the teenager stood up straight on the table, and his eyes were still blurred when he didn't wake up and confused when he just woke up.
He stood up completely, no more than 1.7 meters tall, as if he was still in school, but he was dressed in a researcher's robe, and a black name tag hung on his chest, on which was written the position of associate dean. The boy scratched his nest and muttered, "What's wrong?"
"Vice Dean, this is a system alarm that I have never heard before, but it can be judged that the signal is coming from the 5th basement floor, which is an underground secret storage room. A middle-aged man sitting next to the boy was also wearing a white coat, but he didn't have the same badge as the boy, he was staring at the computer screen, sweat on his forehead.
"Hmm, 5th basement?" The young man showed a puzzled voice, but his half-asleep expression at the moment could only be reminiscent of him just sleepwalking, "Oh, I remembered, it was my newly improved alarm system, but I didn't have time to say it, after all, the dean was also out, and the thought of telling all the staff by himself was so troublesome that I would leave it first, and no one would be idle to go to that place anyway." The boy suddenly showed a sudden realization, clapped his hands and spoke.
"Please be sure to notify this kind of thing as soon as possible, we will be in charge of monitoring it will be a headache. The middle-aged man held his forehead.
"No one usually goes to that place, but there are people who are bored enough to try to trigger my new alarm," the boy grinned, scratching his face, "but wait, this alarm sounds like it's ......"
"I don't think the average person would be a boring excuse to try your new alert. The man continued to hold his forehead.
"Hey, drop the surveillance video on the big screen, that alarm was changed for that place," the young man's face suddenly became more serious than his age, and he quickly rushed to the officer's side and gave an order, "Is the dean back?"
"Yes, yes, I know, that's what to call up. The man showed respect and awe for the boy, and immediately began to calculate, the data shuttled through the line, and the monitor projected the picture of the 5th underground floor on the large screen that was originally black.
Everyone held their breath.
