Chapter 537: Chapter 536 Underground Base

On the experiment table, a gray-white stone with twisted patterns lay quietly within the device, and as the glass dome of the device was pulled down, the interior space was filled with a red glow.

Beep——

A ray scanned the stone from top to bottom, and the device’s monitor displayed the stone’s three-dimensional modeling and various data.

Several researchers in white coats stared at the monitor with tense expressions, their hair disheveled and faces covered in stubble; from their bloodshot eyes, it was evident they hadn’t rested properly in a long time.

Ding~

The red ray scanning was completed, and the device subsequently ceased operation, yet the data on the monitor showed no change.

They exchanged glances in silence, their eyes filled with frustration and disappointment.

After a moment, one of the younger researchers couldn’t help but curse, "Damn! We used the most advanced energy detector and it didn’t detect any energy response at all, this thing must just be an ordinary stone."

"Isn’t that the truth, no one is more familiar with the theory of spatial transmission than us, yet this object shows no capability of disassembling matter into microscopic particles, let alone precisely replicating the object at the destination."

Another researcher in a white coat also filled his tone with complaints, after all, they had tried various methods for months but had made no progress. This kind of project, with no hope in sight and even lacking theoretical support, coupled with the higher-ups pushing so hard, was unbearable for anyone.

"Cough."

The leading elder coughed lightly, looking somewhat displeased as he scolded the group, "What you are talking about is theoretical physics, you’ve also seen the video, there indeed exists spatial transmission, Our current task is to break free from the shackles of established scientific theories and find out how this stone can be used."

After saying this, the elder’s face, filled with wrinkles, seemed somewhat desolate, he was now challenging the very beliefs that his generation had devoted their lives to, a feeling not understandable by others.

"Professor Feng, then what should we do now?" the young man who spoke earlier said with a tone of aggression, he frantically scratched his disheveled hair, "The higher-ups are pushing so hard, and we can’t find a solution, what should we do?!"

Professor Feng’s gaze swept over them, and he sighed inwardly, although the others didn’t speak, their expressions revealed a universal anxiety.

He removed his reading glasses and placed them in his pocket, his cloudy gaze sweeping over the young man’s tired face, he said with a heartache, "Kids, I know you’re tired, I know you’re confused, if I were your age, I wouldn’t be much better off, but we can’t let our guard down now, the people of Daxia need us."

"The joint research groups should operate separately, with no substantial progress on our side, we must do our best to assist other groups to complete the work."

"I hope you can keep holding on, this old man absolutely won’t let you fight alone."

"Professor Feng..." a few young researchers’ eyes reddened, "We’ll try our best."

...

"Student Shao, please come this way."

Inside the First Military District of the Imperial Capital, a soldier in military uniform led Shao Zifeng into a concealed elevator.

He operated briefly on the panel.

With a slight sensation of descent, the elevator began to move.

Originally, Shao Zifeng was wondering why a two-story building would need an elevator, but then he realized the elevator was going downward, a discovery that made him somewhat anticipate what was to come.

Indeed.

Currently, Shao Zifeng knew nothing about the purpose of this trip; he had received a text from Chen Yixin and left even without watching Xiang Nan’s match. She only mentioned that there was a highly confidential mission requiring his assistance, but did not disclose any information about the mission.

Initially, he was somewhat hesitant about this, but Chen Yixin mentioned that during his absence he could manipulate the matches to give a chance for a bye.

Then, Shao Zifeng agreed.

The elevator operated very smoothly without making a sound.

The two stood in the elevator cabin without speaking, and it was eerily quiet inside.

The soldier leading the way stood ramrod straight, as immobile as a statue, and the idly bored Shao Zifeng stared at the elevator’s display to pass the time.

-100 meters.

-588 meters.

-1029 meters.

-2250 meters.

Several minutes later, the elevator came to a slow stop with a ping.

When the elevator doors opened, they revealed a matte silver corridor filled with a sense of technology. A line of soft-glowing lights ran along the center line and the ceiling of the corridor, and at the end of the corridor lay a seemingly immensely heavy silver door.

"Student Shao," the soldier saluted him and took out a card from his pocket, handing it over with both hands, "This is a restricted area. Without permission, you cannot enter freely. I will not accompany you further. Please take this card."

After Shao Zifeng took the card, the soldier saluted again, pressed a few buttons inside the elevator, and then disappeared behind the closing elevator doors.

Standing alone in the corridor for a moment, Shao Zifeng looked at the silver-white card in his hand and walked toward the heavy door.

Like the card in his hand, the silver door seemed thick but bore no decorations or markings. Shao Zifeng searched the wall beside the door for a place that looked like a card reader.

"Beep—Identity information comparison, database key verification, identity authentication passed."

"Underground Base temporary work cardholder Shao Zifeng, underground research area access unlocked, free access to the research area for one month."

"Additional information, cardholder recognized as high-level encrypted special type personnel, half a month of free access added."

"Additional information, cardholder is listed under ’Civilian Combat Training Master Support Platform (provisional name)’ with serial number S01, half a month of free access added, underground base park area access unlocked."

"Information supplement complete. Temporary work cardholder Shao Zifeng, free access to underground base for two months within granted areas including research and park areas. Please refrain from entering other areas without unlocked permissions. Non-compliance with warnings will result in execution on the third warning."

"Finally, we wish you a pleasant work experience."

The cold, synthetic voice disappeared, leaving Shao Zifeng bewildered by the barrage of information.

Looking at the heavy silver door in front of him, Shao Zifeng suddenly didn’t want to go in—three warnings and then execution was just too terrifying.

Unfortunately, it was too late; the sound of precise mechanical operations began, signaling the door was about to open.

Hmm.

Two minutes passed.

Staring at the still-immobile door, Shao Zifeng was somewhat speechless.

Great.

Even the door didn’t open directly, it had to go through procedures.

Just how many locks were on this thing?

After a while, the mechanical sound gradually stopped, and the doors began to slide open to the sides.

As he watched the scene unfold behind the door, Shao Zifeng’s eyes gradually widened.

He muttered a few words to himself and finally summed up his emotions at the moment with one word.

"Fuck!"
