Fifteen minutes later, Gong Piqing and Hades arrived under the Mill Institute.

In the early days of the Mill Institute, this huge underground space was not intended to be used for its current purpose, but was used as an underground "underground parking lot", but later as more and more staff chose to live directly in the research institute, this "underground underground parking lot" gradually became unused, and the staff of the institute were more accustomed to parking their cars in the underground parking lot at the back door of the institute.

And now, there are only a few bright flashlights in the underground space that are still shining, and even when Gong Piqing and Hades just walked in, they all had the feeling that they were actually exploring in a large underground space.

It seems that they are still a little late, the black virus has been dumped into the well-shaped portal in front of them, the teleportation runes in the portal seem to have been placed, the staff have all evacuated from the well, and several computers powered by makeshift generators around the portal have been studied.

Above the portal, a camera with a kilometer long cable was being hoisted by a robotic arm, and the monitor in front of the staff was showing the current footage of the camera.

"This time I have chosen a new teleportation location for you, theoretically speaking, this teleportation location can allow you to avoid the tower full of traps and teleport you to the real country of machines, now we will conduct the final teleportation test, you two go over there and take a look, see if you are not satisfied with the current chosen teleportation location, if you are not satisfied, we will have time to change temporarily." After the old man finished speaking to the two of them, he pointed to the group of staff in front of him.

"But didn't Gaia say that the place he was teleported to in the first place had that endless energy device? Why do I have to re-select the teleportation coordinates? Can't we just teleport us according to the original coordinates? That's the only place we know of where an Endless Energy device actually exists. Hades said to the old man suspiciously.

"We've been thinking about this issue for you, but after all kinds of analysis by the command, we've ruled out that coordinate, and you just need to implement it according to the coordinates I have set for you now." The old man said to the Immortal.

But the Hades still looked incomprehensible, "Why? At that time, Gaia said that he had seen so many endless energy devices in the country of machines, and even the street lamps there were such endless energy devices, if we could teleport according to that coordinate, I would be able to conduct environmental reconnaissance through my mental power as soon as I landed, and if everything really went well, this mission could even be completed in thirty minutes, so why change to a new coordinate? ”

The old man smiled at him, "Here's the thing, Gaia did say that there may be a lot of endless energy devices in the place where he was teleported over, but you know, he is talking about the place he just passed, and you also know that Gaia experienced a real bloody battle with the enemy in that tower, and the heavy fireteam he was equipped with at that time had the firepower to bloodied a city, do you think, after that place has been cleaned by Gaia's team's firepower, how many endless energy equipment can be intact?" ”

"In addition, all the areas that Gaia once walked in the country of machines must now be the hardest hit areas in the area, and the people of the country of machines will repair there, and the density of enemies there must be much higher than when Gaia first went, in addition to some other reasons, otherwise we would not give up that coordinate, and I hope you two understand."

When the old man said this, Gong Piqing and Hades saw that he would always look back behind him from time to time, as if he was waiting for someone, or something had not been done.

"You two are here for a while, they are about to put the camera equipment down, you just want to see how the security near the teleportation coordinates is, I have something to do, leave first, try to wait for me to come back before teleporting, I want to see you go in with my own eyes." When the old man had finished speaking, he raised his hands and patted them on the shoulders, and then walked up the stairs from which he had come.

Gong Piqing and Hades glanced at each other, and for a while they couldn't understand what else could make the old man so anxious, but the screen of the computer in front of them had already lit up, and at this juncture, they definitely didn't have a chance to see what the old man was busy with, and with someone in the crowd over there, they walked towards the crowd together......

A few minutes later, the Mill Institute.

The heads of the two divisions, Ghost and Gaia, as well as several senior commanders on duty, gathered around a large computer-like device, and a group of people stared at the screen of the computer with solemn faces, as if they were in trouble.

It stands to reason that this group of senior officials in the Mill Research Institute should have accompanied Gong Piqing and Hades to conduct the final teleportation test next to the portal, but now, they gathered around the "anomalous energy detector" of the research institute, worried about the latest results of the instrument.

"Boss, here's the thing, according to the old rules, we don't need to conduct another round of ability testing until the mission is carried out, but I always feel uneasy, so I came over to conduct a new round of testing on the machine country side, and the results are completely different from the previous two times."

The head of the ghost team said, pointing to the screen on the ability detector on the side, the current screen is like a radar, and the lattice panel with a green background is densely drawn with large and small red circles.

"Why is it almost the same as the first time? Or that tower? The old man said with a frown.

"That's right, the area where these abilities are located seems to be all enclosed in a large circular building, and it can be concluded that it is the tower, but we did another round of testing with the same detection height, and the results are like this, the distribution of abilities in the tower and the size of the tower are still different from the previous two times, as if the tower will scale up and down on its own." The head of the ghost team said, pointing to the screen.

The old man nodded, although the hand-drawn paper of the previous two measurements was not here, but now even if they didn't look at the drawings, they could remember most of the details on the two drawings just by memory, because compared to the previous two drawings, the picture on the screen in front of them was simply very different.

"Yes, it looks like the tower will actually scale up and down on its own, and it will cover nearby buildings accordingly, which we still can't explain." said the head of the Gaia group.

"So what now? Is it too late to suspend the plan? They're not gone yet, are they? A senior commander asked with a sad look on his face.

"Not gone yet." The old man said.

"Do you want to stop? The situation in the Land of Machines is too complicated, and I guess even when they went to the Land of Machines before, if we had done a few more ability tests, the result would have been like this. The head of the Ghost Group said.

The old man took a deep breath, then shook his head, "No...... It's too late, Gaia can't wait so long, it's too late to call a stop......"

"The new coordinates are far away from that tower, right? If they teleported now, they wouldn't have been teleported into that tower, right? A senior commander asked.

"Judging from the current situation, it will not be passed into that tower, but if that tower is expanded, it may not be." The old man said, his gaze fell on the head of the ghost group, "Can you do another detection?" We need to get an update on what's going on in the Land of Machines! ”

But the head of the ghost group scratched his head helplessly, "It is estimated that it is not enough, I still poured a barrel of oil into the generator before I carried out this test, and now you see the amount of oil left......"

As they spoke, their gaze fell on the diesel generator in the corner of the room, along with the flashlight flashlight; There is a large-capacity mineral water bottle upside down above the diesel generator, and at the same time, the complex circuit equipment is connected to the generator to regulate the voltage and current emitted by the generator, but from the upside-down mineral water bottle above the generator, the fuel inside has bottomed out, and as the generator is still running, the oil in it is still declining.

"Can't you do the last test...... the old man said a little distracted.

"There's a solution, but we barely have any inventory...... The last time the Ghost and the World Tree went out and didn't bring back the fuel, we've basically run out of fuel, and even if they stay in the Machine Nation for more than three days this time, we'll have to rely on hand-cranked generators to get by. A senior commander said.

These words shook the old man and the other two department heads like a thunderbolt from the sky for a long time, and their empty eyes invariably fell on the monitor of the detector, and their eyes were full of great uneasiness......
