Entering the core building in Eva's mouth, what you see is a rotunda of hundreds of nearly 1,000 square meters, four gates are symmetrically distributed in the hall, in addition to the gate that just entered, the other three metal doors are tightly closed, I don't know where to lead. In addition, the walls of the circular hall are dotted with more than a dozen small doors, which look similar to the lifters seen in the Tower of the Colossus, with upward and downward arrows on the sides of the doors, which seem to be advanced versions of the goblin lifters that have been seen before.

"The door on the left leads to the energy supply center of all the buildings of the entire research center of 500 square kilometers. Eva said: "All the facilities in this half-plane are powered by this energy supply center. In the energy supply center, there are high-power energy extraction equipment, through the internal passage of the sinkhole at the foot of Fillias Mountain, from the bottom of the deep layer to absorb a huge amount of leyline energy, and then through the space energy transmission channel to the energy supply center, and then the energy supply center immediately distributes the energy to each laboratory and residence of the research center. I checked after the space interference, and the energy consumption of all the labs was operating normally, that is, the labs that were swallowed up by space that had lost their response were still intact, as they were when they were normal, which is one of the reasons why I thought that Lab 9 might be safe and sound, but the crystal energy network was destroyed. ”

"Is it really appropriate to set up the energy supply center in the core area?" Freya knew more about goblin technology, and couldn't help but ask: "The core area should be a very important place, including the office locations of those big people, shouldn't it be the same as letting those big people sit on a dangerous crystal energy bomb to work?"

"The energy supply center here is not the same as the buildings that use hedron for energy. Eva explained, "It's dangerous to use hedron for energy, because hedron has the potential to explode, but these leyline energies are never as dangerous as hedrons. ”

"But that's also not safe, because it stores a lot of energy. Freya asked, "Isn't it easier to explode the more energy you store, so now the mage tower and the energy storage pool outside will be built in a safe place, and it will never affect the main body of the mage tower, because I am afraid that the energy storage pool will explode in case of abnormal changes." ”

"There's no storage tank here, no, it's not what you think. Eva replied: "The energy storage tank here is more like an emergency measure, the stored energy is only enough for the research center to consume for ten minutes, and even an explosion will not be able to break through the building's protection." ”

"How do you keep the whole area running?" Freya said, puzzled, "There must not be enough for such a small energy tank." ”

"Instant extraction, instant application. Eva replied simply: "Extract as much as you want, and when you don't use it, the energy transmission space channel will not transmit the energy back, which protects the safety of the research center to the greatest extent." The only thing to worry about is that if someone destroys the energy absorption device, the center may be paralyzed. However, in fact, the center is also equipped with a set of alternative leyline energy extraction equipment, and if there is a problem with the main equipment, the replacement equipment will be activated, and the coalition government will immediately send a maintenance team to go underground to repair it. However, since the establishment of the research center, there has not been a single such crisis. ”

"It's a good way to solve the dangers of energy storage tanks, but in the current situation, it doesn't have the value of application. Vivian said regretfully: "Maybe hundreds of thousands of years later, when the magic technology has developed to a certain extent, this method will also be used to solve the problem of the energy storage pool." ”

"Then there's the right side of the hall, and there's the passage to the control area. "All the zones within the research center, the individual laboratory buildings in each section, the rooms in each building, and even the research equipment in each room can be adjusted by the control area," Eva said. At the same time, I can control them in the control zone. Some of my ontologies are also in the zone of control, not only mine, but also Ressa, Andy, and Julie, all of whom are in the zone of control. ”

"They ...... too," Catherine interrupted Eva before she could finish asking, "they are not like me, they don't have their own sanity, they are just functional control centers. I'm a special case, and I'm the only one in the entire Goblin Empire. ”

"Okay, you go ahead. Catherine made a gesture of please: "Sorry to interrupt you." ”

"Hundreds of experimental buildings, tens of thousands of large laboratories, and hundreds of thousands of pieces of research equipment can be observed here. Eva continues: "Every lab, and even every piece of large equipment, has a monitor that keeps an eye on it. For this reason, hundreds of rooms had to be divided into this core area to be used as a control room, otherwise the displays alone would not fit. ”

"Are the researchers working under surveillance?" Catherine asked, "and keep watch at all times." ”

"It's the equipment that is being monitored, not the person who is operating it, and there's a big difference between the two. Eva explained: "Actually, goblins are a very important race, but even so, they don't have any opinions on instrumental monitoring, which means that this kind of monitoring will not interfere with personal problems." ”

"And what do you see in the control center now?" asked Pannis, "what are those non-answering areas like? Do you want everything to work like the power supply center, or can't you see what's going on inside?"

"From the energy distribution part, we can see that everything is operating normally, including some low-temperature, high-temperature or constant temperature storage equipment inside, and there is no abnormality in the energy distribution of various equipment, indicating that the space function pipeline has not been destroyed. Eva replied: "But what you can see from the monitoring part of the equipment is a blank and no return signal can be received, indicating that the information transmission channel has been completely cut off." Judging from what I saw in the Ninth Laboratory just now, it is normal to have this kind of result, because the space energy supply pipeline is a virtual image, and it is not materialized in this space, and although the information transmission channel cannot be seen or touched, it is still attached to this space, and if the space is torn, they will definitely be truncated. ”

"As for the thirteen lifts, they all lead to some offices on the upper floor. Eva said: "All kinds of affairs are handled here, and those who have access to it are the senior heads of each laboratory. I won't go into any more detail with you, and you shouldn't be interested in knowing that. ”

"Yes, indeed. Catherine nodded, "And this door we're about to open is the one that leads to the emergency shelter?"

"Yes. Eva controls the door to open to both sides, inside is a spiral downward staircase, and there are four elevators on one side of the wall, Eva explains: "The staircase is an emergency passage, and it is only used when all the elevators have lost their energy supply at the most urgent moments, and no one will take the stairs the rest of the time." There are six underground floors here, each with its own role, such as dangerous goods storage, weapons storage, puppet repair workshops, etc., and the deepest part of the sixth floor is the emergency shelter. ”

"The emergency shelter is big, very big. Eva pointed out to the elevator and walked in, and pressed the button on the bottom floor. The elevator is a little short for humans, only about two meters, and everyone except Vivien can reach the top of the elevator almost as soon as they reach out, which is not in line with architectural habits. If you think about it, the elevator is mainly for goblins, and the average height of the goblins is about one hundred and forty centimeters, and it is just right for goblins to use an elevator of this height, but it is a little harder for the three-eyed people. As the elevator descended, Eva continued: "It can be used by a thousand people to take refuge at the same time, it can almost be regarded as an underground castle, almost all the living facilities in it are very sound, even including automatic planting equipment for various crops, and there are enough food for a thousand people to eat for fifty years in the cryogenic vacuum storage room, but unfortunately, the goblins did not have the opportunity to use them. ”

"It sounds like the goblins are still very serious about evacuation measures. Pannis muttered, "I always feel that they have gone too far in preparing for the disaster, by the way, do other goblin important facilities have similar emergency shelters?"

Eva was silent again, and Pannis said before she could speak, "Okay, I already know the answer, save energy, save energy." ”

"My energy supply is almost infinite and I don't need to replenish my energy. From Eva's voice, you can almost imagine her rolling her eyes: "Don't use this way to trick my words, many things are not told to you now, in fact, they are also for your good, not for myself." If I could, I would have liked to tell you everything now, it would have been better for me, but unfortunately I can't. ”

Pannis nodded and whispered, "I see, it seems that the time is not far from when you tell us everything." ”

The elevator shook, stopped descending, and the gate slammed open. Outside the door of the elevator is a narrow corridor, the corridor is only a few dozen meters long, and at the end is a terrible metal door that looks thick, the metal door seems to be completely sealed, I am afraid that even the air cannot penetrate it.

"Please go forward, the healer is inside. Eva's voice reverted to its metallic mechanicality.

"At the same time, there are troubles. Pannis pouted and walked to the door, which opened automatically outward, and he sighed, "The trouble is in there, right?" ”

"That's right, the healer and the trouble are in it. Eva said calmly, "The trouble called Sigurn is just my trouble. (To be continued.) )
