Chapter Seventy-Five: The Ninth Laboratory
"What is this?" Led by Eva into the door, a large room of more than 400 square meters appeared, which was divided into several areas by a wooden screen, but when the door opened, under the flow of air, the wooden screen instantly turned into a puff of ashes and sprinkled on the ground. The girls were not surprised by this phenomenon, goblin metal can fight against 10,000 years, but ordinary wood cannot, not to mention that although the temperature outside is very low, but after entering the inside of the laboratory, the environment actually returns to the temperature of ordinary winter, so that everyone has to take off a few coats to avoid sweating. In this environment, it is common for wooden structures to be weathered naturally, and everyone has become accustomed to them in various ruins. What made the curious Lina question was another thing, it was a few cabinets placed in the corners, the surface of the cabinets was transparent, you could see that there were rows of metal cans inside, and there were some buttons on the right side of the transparent part, which seemed to correspond to the number under the metal cans, and on the same side, there was a small gap, as if it could be inserted into a card.
"I guess it's possible to insert an ID card here. Catherine groaned slightly, and pulled out the goblin ID card she had found in the sewers of the City of Innocence. Since they have to enter the goblin-related buildings, each of the girls carries an ID card with them, which may not be useful, but it is always a good idea to prepare in advance. The knight girl stuffed the metal card into the slot, and sure enough, the size and thickness were just right, and the machine, which had been silent for 10,000 years, actually started working normally, and the corresponding buttons on the right side lit up at the same time.
"That's interesting. Curiously, Lina leaned over, grabbed ahead of Catherine, and casually pressed a lit button. But the machine didn't respond, and after a few seconds, a few characters were displayed on the hedron disk above the buttons, followed by a series of rapidly changing numbers. Lina was stunned and asked suspiciously, "Eva, what's going on." β
"It's a vending machine that's part of the free benefits for researchers. If you use a researcher's ID card, it is free to obtain. If it is a non-researcher, such as another scholar who comes to conduct academic research, then the machine needs to convert the gold coins saved in the person's ID card into credit points within the institute. Eva explained, "Look. The conversion is over, and you can confirm it by pressing it again. β
"Gold coins?can gold coins still be stored in these cards?" Catherine's two beautiful eyebrows raised: "Then if the gold coins in the identity card are not converted, will there be a place to take them out?" β
"If the Goblin Coalition is still around, it will be like this. The listeners could hear deep helplessness in Eva's emotionless voice: "But the goblin coalition government no longer exists, and the subordinate financial institutions have lost their proper functions. So nothing can be taken out. However, if you can find the location of the Coalition Government Vault, you can get a lot of gold. β
"Really?" Catherine's eyes lit up immediately, and she said expectantly, "Do you know where their vault is?"
"Of course I don't know, it's one of the top secrets of the coalition government, and there will be no physical records. Eva shook her head vigorously and said: "Even if you know, it's useless, the vault is said to be buried somewhere deep underground, after so many years, the entrance is estimated to have been buried long ago, you better give up." β
"Bang". As Lina confirmed the button, there was a metal crash, and a metal canister identical to the one displayed in the corresponding marker fell from the exit under the machine. Lina took out the metal can, looked at it and asked, "This room looks like a lounge, and theoretically, it should be for food or drink." β
Indeed, this room is a lounge, and in each of the several spaces separated by screens, there are several long chairs in metal shells, one with a metal shell, and the other side is presumably made of some very soft material. It will be very comfortable to sit or lie on it. However, now all but the metal shells have turned into a cloud of fly ash, and the original appearance is no longer visible. There are compartments. There is also a spar plate more than two meters wide standing in front of it, according to everyone's experience, the spar plate can play some effects, and it may be used as some entertainment facilities here. In other compartments, there were small bookshelves, but all that remained was gray ashes.
"It was the drinks, the food was on the other side. Eva replied, "All the rest rooms in the research center serve high-end drinks for goblins. Many researchers enjoy it. β
"How do you open it?" Lina couldn't suppress her curiosity, and fiddled with the metal cans over and over for a while, and very cleverly found a way to open them, and after opening the sealed jar with a snap, she sighed deeply. In the sealed jar, there was no moisture left, only a layer of black object solidified in the bottom layer of the jar, which looked quite disgusting. The priest girl said with a regretful face: "It's a pity, it seems that even with the goblin technology, the sealing effect is not so good, and the moisture has already volatilized." β
"Don't say such terrible things with a serious face. Freya was actually very picky about eating, so she took a few steps back with a disgusted face, hugged her arms and said, "If it doesn't volatilize, do you still want to take a sip and taste it? That's something that has been in place for 10,000 years." β
"It's always okay to smell it. Lina shrugged, put the metal can aside, and beckoned to Eva and asked, "Is there any record of what these drinks taste like?"
"Sweet. Eva was strangely silent for a while, and there was a little depression in her voice: "With a little spicy." β
Lina blinked, and then didn't continue to ask, and quickly changed the subject and said, "Walk through this lounge and enter the front door to see the automatic healing device?"
"No, there's still some way to go. Eva's voice returned to its usual coldness, and she replied expressionlessly: "It's actually very big here, and it takes a lot of detours. β
"Then don't bother with it anymore. Lina pushed Vivien, who was working on the vending machine with Freya: "Hurry up, my biggest hope now is to get you cured quickly, so that I can beat you, hurry up." β
Through another door, there is a long hallway, flanked by portraits of members of the Medical Hall of Fame. Catherine had taken a portrait from a previous study and it looked like an ordinary portrait, but in fact the whole thing was made of metal, so it could last for 10,000 years without being destroyed.
Along the way, there are a number of closed metal doors on the left and right of the hallway, which are supposed to be some different laboratories inside. At the urging of two scholars and a lively priest, Eva opened several of the metal doors, revealing what looked like them all over the place.
"Hey, Pannis, isn't that the metal bed you asked me to make?" Freya looked at the metal bed in the middle of a room, she was referring to the metal bed that Pannis had asked her to put together when she had operated on Vivien in Mina's lair a few days ago. The structure of the bed is actually very complex, including many structures that can be moved up and down angles and the drainage structure of the bed, which looks like it is specially used for surgery.
"I've seen this kind of bed before in some of the goblin ruins. Pannis replied, "I think the design is very interesting, so I recorded the structure, which is very suitable for surgery, so why don't you name it the operating table?" β
"Sounds apt. Freya nodded, took out her notebook, and added the new name to her list of mechanical manufacturing: "Actually, if it is modified, it is not bad to take care of patients with limited mobility, I will go back and study it carefully." β
In the rooms on both sides, most of the items are unfamiliar to the five people, and Eva retrieves the information in her memory, and explains the functions of each item in detail to everyone. But there are still some things that everyone knows, such as specimens of bones, such as corpses that have been dissected in half and soaked in special solutions. These specimens and corpses,Basically, they belong to goblins,Skin,Muscles,Bones,Internal organs,Layer by layer in front of everyone,Even with the girl's patience for all kinds of corpses,There is still a feeling of discomfort in the face of these specimens,Especially these corpses are open one by one,The black hole hole is facing everyone,Give people the illusion of being stared at by the corpseγ
"Isn't this really a blasphemy against the dead?" Catherine frowned tightly, and said with some reluctance, "Although I know that the study of medicine must study the human body, is it necessary to make the corpse look like this? β
"No, the provenance of these specimens is voluntary. Eva explained: "And there are a lot of corpses, and when they were alive, they were researchers at this research center, and after their deaths, they voluntarily donated their bodies to the research center as a reference for research, which is a very honorable thing for scholars." β
"These medical scholars are really fanatical, for the sake of research results, they don't even let go of themselves?" Catherine still couldn't accept this attitude in her heart, but it was not easy to evaluate the goblins' voluntary actions, so she could only sigh and leave the room for the first time, not wanting to see these cut corpses again.
"Don't think too much about it, the goblins of that era only believed in themselves and only focused on the present. Pannis walked out behind Catherine, patted her on the shoulder and said, "They doubt the gods, they doubt the soul, they only believe in the real existence, so they don't care if the soul can rest in peace." β
"I understand. Catherine nodded, and then turned to Eva and asked, "It's almost there, I feel like I've been gone for a long time." β
"Right up front is the core lab area. Eva replied, "The healer is in that area." (To be continued.) )
