Chapter 71 Research Center
There was no sound, no light and shadow, and no signs. Just three seconds after the Panis recited the earthly words, the girls found themselves in another world in just a blink of an eye. This was a dim world, with no sun and moon, no stars, and even the sky. Or it should be said that there was no sky here at all. Looking up, there was only a deep and bottomless darkness above. But the surroundings were indeed bright and soft light filled this area, but the existence of the light source could not be found, as if it was emitted from the inside of every building here.
Looking around, I was no longer in the original ramps and woods. I could not see the rock walls and crystals on the rock walls in the distance, and my skin could not feel the high temperature and heat in the environment. Now everyone is in a big amazing square. The empty square is at least hundreds of thousands of square meters. A huge group of sprays is located in the center of the square. Of course, the fountain has dried up, leaving only an empty pool. Around the fountain, there are more than a dozen unique pavilions, and there are also several strange four-wheel crystal energy vehicles on the side. It is said that it is strange because its body is very large.
A few people were allowed to walk inside at the same time. There was a window on one side of the carriage, which looked like a counter. The merchants could display goods and sell goods. The ground outside the fountain should have been a lawn, and there were some circular ranges surrounded by bricks and stones on the ground. From the remaining traces inside, it can be seen that the trees that were originally viewed by growers here were originally viewed by growers. In addition to the largest fountain and pavilion group in the center, there were seven or eight other small fountains scattered in the square. There were benches made of metal around the fountain, and there were also some weird crystal energy vehicles used in the shops on the side.
It seems that this square is for researchers living here to relax and relax. It is conceivable that after the busy research work, walking on this square, stepping on the tender green and soft lawn, feeling the coolness of the water splashing from the fountain on the face, sitting on the bench and watching the beautiful surroundings, letting the tired brain completely empty. For researchers, this is the best way to rest.
On one side of the square, there is a circular space of forty or fifty square meters. The area is surrounded by transparent crystal walls. There is only a gate-like facility facing the fountain. You can enter the square by passing through it. The adventure group appears here.
"It seems that this is the gate of the research center." Katherine first recovered from the shock brought by the research center, touching the thick transparent wall and said, "Strange, is it that our location just now happening to be in this gate?"
"No, the movement between spaces is not what you think." Vivian was awakened by Catherine's voice and shook her head, "It's not that where you were originally, you will appear in the corresponding position. If they have set it before, no matter where we enter this space, we will appear in the current position."
On both sides of the gate, two metal puppets like sculptures stand, and the four puppets are about three meters tall. Although they have been invaded for a long time, they still stand there without any damage, allowing those who come in to look up. It seems that these puppets are just for beauty, but from the muzzle vaguely exposed inside the puppet's body, they exist not just to beautify the environment.
"Beep." A crisp voice sounded from the side of the five people. This voice has been heard many times in the sewer of the City of Innocence. It is a unique reminder tone for goblins: "Welcome to the National Research Center of the Goblin United Government. Hello, visitors. Identity verification is underway. Please wait in place for a moment."
"Are we going to wait in place?" Lina asked as she listened to Panis's synchronous translation: "No matter how you look at it, we are all invaders. It feels stupid to wait in place so obediently."
"Wait a little and see what the situation is." Catherine took out a few cards from her backpack. They were the ID cards I found in the Sewer of Innocence. Since she was going to explore the ruins of goblins, she picked five cards that looked more pleasing to her and took them: "This area is too big, and it is far more confident than the previous sewer system. If you enter the battle, it may be very dangerous. So, if you can, try to avoid fighting as much as possible."
"Di, scanned unknown creatures, held the Nolan Federal A36 City ID certificate, linking the identity database, id, connection failed, repeated link, id, connection failed, unknown error was found, and the Identity Management Center has been notified for repair. id, unable to verify the identity of the visitor, connected to the Security Department of the Research Center, and applied for temporary isolation." The mechanical sound from an instrument above the gate seemed to pause for a moment before continuing: "Di, the visitor has been detected to hold the highest pass, and the application for temporary isolation has been withdrawn. You are allowed to enter the Research Center. Welcome, you, a distinguished visitor."
"The highest pass?" Catherine was stunned: "Does it refer to the precision code disk?"
"It seems that, I didn't expect the password disk to have such high authority." After waiting for a while, and confirming that the mechanical voice stopped talking, Panis said: "We'd better go in quickly. I don't want to hear the beeping sound again after a while."
"I think it's strange." Catherine walked in the front and pushed open the transparent crystal door and walked out: "Those goblin researchers, entering and leaving here, just like us, it means that there should be many holders, and the permissions of the password disk are so high. What's the meaning of these permissions?"
"Who said everyone has to enter with a password disk?" Panis asked back, "If I don't have a key when I go home, can't you open the door for me?"
"Okay, this question is really stupid." Catherine shook her mouth and shook her head, "But, although we have the highest authority, it's better to be careful. After all, no one knows what's here."
From the entrance to the square, the girls were in this strange space. The air in the square was fresh, as if they were in the dense woods. The temperature around them was moderate, lukewarm and hot, which was the most comfortable temperature. The only thing that made people feel uncomfortable was that the surrounding environment was dead silent, and there was no sound, which made everything so dull.
On one side of the square, there are four large buildings that are forty or fifty meters high. The exterior walls of these buildings are closely arranged in a series of windows, as if each window represents a room. On the other side of the square, there are already dry and cracked land. There are houses like villas built on these lands. There are two or three thousand villas. With the cracked land around, you can probably guess the scenery of trees in the past bypasses of these villas.
"Oh my God, how big is this place?" Catherine exclaimed: "There are only two residential areas, and if you count other functional facilities... this range of dozens of square kilometers may not be able to be put down."
"It can be almost accommodated." Panis replied: "Didn't you find that there are basically no functional buildings, no shops, no taverns, no restaurants, no entertainment venues, in other words, just a research center and dormitory. As for the daily supplies of researchers, it is probably provided by the research center, just like we saw in the research center before in the research center. However, the treatment here is much higher than that in the research center. Not only can the researchers here be free to enter and exit, but according to my estimate, the research center will be equipped with transportation to pick up and drop off the nearby cities."
"Well, the National Research Center generally treats high-level researchers very well." Vivian nodded and said, "Sometimes good things are a bit scary. I have also heard of those who match their wives."
Several people came out of the entrance, ignored one living area, and walked directly to the other side of the square, surrounded by a metal wall that could not be seen at the end. The metal wall was very high, about fifteen meters, and a cone made of white crystal was fixed on the wall every twenty meters above the wall. Freya just glanced and gave the answer: "Things similar to the Eye of the Mage, but the effect was far worse than the Eye of the Mage. At least the Eye of the Mage is invisible and observable, but this kind of thing is not good. Of course, they also have their own advantages and are usually not easily disturbed by magical power when used. Well, the Goblins themselves are not well developed, and it is difficult to consider this issue."
Several people walked to a gate more than ten meters wide opposite the square by the fence. It seemed that the white crystal at the top flashed slightly. The closed metal door automatically opened to both sides under the wooden gaze of several people. A soft female voice had a little metal texture. She said calmly in ancient gossip: "Good afternoon, the honorable highest authority holder. It has been 4.87 million and twenty-eight days since the previous holder left the center. I hope you have a happy holiday."
"Well, it's still pleasant. If there was a long holiday of more than four million days." Panis shrugged and muttered: "I just don't know if the people in the center are happy for more than ten thousand years."
