Chapter Seventy-Five: The Ninth Laboratory
"What is this" walked into the door under the leadership of Eva, and what appeared was a large room of more than 400 square meters, which was isolated 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 fell on the ground. The girls were not surprised by this phenomenon, goblin metal can fight against ten thousand years, but ordinary wood cannot, not to mention that although the temperature outside is very low, but after entering the inside of the real room, the environment actually returns to the temperature of ordinary winter, so that everyone has to take off a few coats so as not to sweat. 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 qƬ, which had been silent for 10,000 years, actually started to work 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. However, there was no response, and after a few seconds, a few characters were displayed on the spar disk above the buttons, followed by a series of rapidly changing numbers. Lina was stunned and asked suspiciously, "Eva." What's going on. ā
"It's a vending machine, it's part of the researcher's free benefit, and it's free to get if you use the researcher's ID card. If you are a non-researcher, such as another scholar who is conducting academic research from outside, then you need 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, you can confirm it by pressing it again." ā
"Gold coins, these cards can still store gold coins" 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." ā
"If the Goblin Coalition is still around, it will be like this. Those who listened could hear the deep helplessness in Eva's emotionless voice: "But the goblin coalition government no longer exists. The subordinate financial institutions have also lost their proper function, so they cannot take anything out. However, if you can find the location of the Coalition Government Vault, you can get a lot of gold. ā
"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 in the ground, and so many years have passed." The entrance is probably buried a long time ago, so you might as well give up. ā
With a "boom", as Lina confirmed the button, a metal crash sounded. A metal can with the same marker as shown by the corresponding marker is dropped from the outlet below 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." ā
Indeed, this room is a lounge. In several spaces separated by screens, each space is home to several long chairs with metal shells on one side. On the other hand, it is believed that it should be some very soft material, which must be very comfortable to sit on or lie on. However, now all but the metal shells have turned into a cloud of fly ash, and the original appearance is no longer visible. In some compartments, there is also a spar plate more than two meters wide in front of it, according to everyone's experience, the spar plate can play some influences, 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 of the research center serve high-end drinks for goblins, and many researchers like to drink them. ā
"How to open it" Lina couldn't suppress her curiosity, and fiddled with the metal cans over and over again, and found a way to open them very smartly, 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." ā
"Don't say such terrible things with a serious face. Freya is actually very picky about eating, and she took a few steps back with a disgusted face, hugged her arms and said, "If it doesn't evaporate, do you still want to take a sip and taste it, it's something that has been left for 10,000 years." ā
"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." ā
Lina blinked, but she didn't continue to ask, and quickly changed the topic 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 regained its usual coldness, and replied expressionlessly: "It's actually very big here, and it takes a lot of detours. ā
"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." ā
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 sides of the corridor, which should be some different real yĆ n rooms. 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 a metal bed in the middle of the 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?" ā
"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." ā
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 belong to goblins, skin, muscles, bones, internal organs, layer by layer in front of everyone, even with the girls' 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, and the black hole hole is facing everyone, giving people the illusion of being stared at by the corpse.
"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, but is it necessary to make the corpse look like this, in this case, their souls will also feel angry, and it will be difficult to rest in peace." ā
"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." ā
"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 practices, 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 what really exists, so they don't care if the soul can rest in peace." ā
"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." ā
"In front of it is the core real yĆ n room area. Eva replied, "The healer is in that area." "To be continued
