Chapter 1038 From the Void(1/3)
Since the beginning of the history of human civilization, no physics experiment has ever been terminated after being started simply because of risks. Recognizing the risks, taking precautions, and careful verification are the judgments of normal people when facing the unknown.
Including the hadron collider experiments that were controversial from the beginning of construction in the old era, including extremely dangerous fission nuclear power reactors, etc.
The reason why the scientific expedition team located the Seventh Research Institute near Shelter 404, far away from the urban area, and went to great lengths to locate the laboratory underground and provide nuclear explosion-level protection, was precisely to deal with possible risks.
Countermeasures taken.
In the most extreme case, the Alliance can blow up the laboratory and completely bury possible unstable "anomalies" with tens of thousands of tons of structural materials.
Every staff member on staff is well aware of these possible risks.
If you don't want to take any risks, then go farming with a hoe. It's the least risky job in the wasteland.
Of course, the possibility of the most extreme situation happening is actually not high, just like the rumor that a hadron collider would create a black hole and engulf the solar system.
After all, this was not a device created by the pioneer civilization itself, but was accomplished with the help of a certain upright ape named Qiu Shiye. No matter how exaggerated the effect is, it is still within limits.
To make a simple analogy, it is entirely possible for a certain Doma man to make black gunpowder under the guidance of human civilization and scare others, but it would be impossible to blow up the entire Gaia planet with a few kilograms of black gunpowder.
Nonsense.
The outrageous thing of crushing a planet is something that humans themselves cannot do.
However, the results of this experiment still exceeded all researchers' expectations.
From the recorded history of human civilization to the present, there has never been any physics experiment where a monster that does not belong to this world has been born from the center of the laboratory...
And now, this record has been broken.
"Roar--!"
Deafening sound waves and something unknown hit the glass curtain wall that was stronger than concrete.
The huge impact not only broke the sound of the speakers in the operating room, but also caused a layer of dense spider webs to crawl up the glass curtain wall.
Fortunately, Yin Fang's "Retreat" made all the researchers present react, quickly rushed to the door of the operating room, activated the manual mode, and opened the power-off alloy door.
With the combined efforts of everyone, the alloy door quickly opened, and a group of people filed out.
The situation is extremely critical.
The monster hiding in the darkness hit again and again, trying to break free from the constraints on itself, and the glass curtain wall was already letting out an overwhelmed wail!
However, no one in the entire operation room panicked, and everyone behaved calmly.
The entire evacuation process was carried out in an orderly manner. No one was scrambling to escape. Everything was just like a safety drill.
People consciously formed a queue according to their rank - those with the lowest rank at the front, and those with the highest rank at the end. They left the exercise room as quickly as possible and rushed to the nearest safe passage!
Director Dai initially wanted Yin Fang to queue up in front of him, but was pushed back by the latter.
Looking at the astonished Dai Huaian, Yin Fang glared at him fiercely and said.
"What does it say in the safety manual!"
Dai Huaian's face turned slightly pale and he spoke hastily.
"But you are not a researcher at the Seventh Institute——"
Yin Fang interrupted him without hesitation.
"I am a resident of Vault 404, the chief scientist of the Alliance! From your position, this is an order!"
If there are residents of Vault 404 present, the residents of Vault 404 will always be the last to evacuate!
This is a rule he set himself.
And it has been written in the safety manual since the establishment of the scientific expedition team, and it is also written in the first chapter of the manual!
In the scientific expedition team, rank means responsibility. The higher the rank, the greater the responsibility. There is no such thing as climbing to the top of everyone's head, but shirking all the responsibilities!
This was the case when I was in college.
The lowest-level prospectors do the most dangerous work, and ultimately have to bear the risk of mission failure for the sake of the researcher's career, and are wiped out without any compensation.
He has already tasted this pain and must not bring this dregs to the alliance again!
If he had no choice at the time, he would have been born like this in the academy, but now he is in almost the same position as the "chief technology officer of the academy".
He wants everyone in the scientific expedition team to remember that since he said "I will be responsible", he must take responsibility to the end!
You must not wait until you really have to take responsibility and treat what you said as a fart!
As for why his death was a loss to the alliance, that's real bullshit.
People are not wine, so where does the saying that the fragrance lasts for a long time come from?
He himself climbed up from an E-level prospector, and he has no doubt that another E-level researcher can also climb to his current position!
He also firmly believes that even if he defends the rules with his life today, there will definitely be researchers younger and more visionary than him who will stand on his shoulders, see things that he has no chance to see, and, like him, will
Continue to defend the rules you have defended!
The deafening roar continued, and the solid glass curtain wall finally collapsed in an instant, and the broken glass shards hit the other wall of the operation room like shrapnel!
Everything happens in the blink of an eye!
The explosion occurred less than half a minute after the start of the third set of experiments, and Yin Fang even felt the surging air waves behind him.
Fortunately, he was not caught by the monster hiding in the dark.
At the moment when the glass curtain wall was about to shatter, he successfully escaped from the operating room and stumbled into the corridor.
"Quick! This way!"
Dai Huai'an, who was running in front, gave him a hand, and the two of them steadied themselves and quickly rushed to the entrance of the safe passage.
At this time, workers on the surface manually started the backup generator, and the power supply to the underground passage was immediately restored.
With the sudden light coming on, Lin Dong, who was running ahead, couldn't help but look back and was shocked by the scene in front of him.
"I'll blanch..."
It was a huge lizard, with eyes as small as soybeans growing densely on both sides of the bloody mouth, like bursting pus bubbles.
The pitch-black scales exuded the aura of death, and could not reflect the slightest bit of luster under the illumination of incandescent lamps.
It was as if all wavelengths of light were absorbed by those extremely dark scales!
That is……
Deathclaw?!
No--
In front of this kind of monster, I'm afraid even "Niko" can only be used as a snack. Perhaps it is more appropriate to call it "Death Lizard" or "Death Mouth".
At the same time that he looked at those pairs of soybean-sized eyes, the bloody mouth slowly opened.
At the same time, a hand grabbed Lin Dong's collar at the back of his neck and dragged him into the safe passage, unable to help but hold his breath.
The violent air flow bombarded the entire corridor with the deafening roar. Just the aftermath of pouring into the safe passage shook his internal organs, and he almost couldn't recover.
Pulling this desperate former prospector in front of him, Yarrick shouted loudly at him.
"You fucking don't want your life! Run!!"
Lin Dong didn't have time to answer, let alone hear what Alex said, but he still moved his feet.
With cumbersome and frantic steps, the writhing death dragon chased to the entrance of the safe passage at an incredible speed.
Fortunately, the narrow entrance stuck it at the door, and only half of its mouth could reach in.
Looking at that ugly giant mouth, Lin Dong could only feel his heart beating so fast that it almost jumped out of his throat.
"What a hell..."
The other researchers had the same expression.
Seeing the lizard's open mouth as if it was about to roar again, Yin Fang quickly punched open the dust cover of the fire alarm button embedded in the wall and lowered the fire isolation door of the safe passage.
An alloy folding door fell from the sky, cutting off the lower half of the stairs of the safety passage.
The death giant lizard let out a deafening roar, making the alloy folding door tremble, but it seemed to end there.
"Saved..." Dai Huaian leaned against the wall and breathed a sigh of relief.
Their mission is over.
Next, it is the work of the combatants...
Just as a group of researchers were running from the laboratory on the third underground floor to the second underground floor, the second underground floor of the institute was completely different.
At the moment when the power in the previous laboratory was cut off, the twenty-seven players who were sitting on the chairs shaking their legs in boredom instantly stood up as if they had been given a shot of blood.
The players present are all above level 30. Although they are not considered top players at T0 or T1 levels, they can still be considered the backbone of the server.
An hour ago, they received a mission from the Guards Regiment and entered the Seventh Research Institute. They received the "Xiaguang" Type III power armor and the latest K-12 heavy-duty exoskeleton from the officers of the Guards Regiment, as well as huge stone military improvements.
The bolter was stationed on the upper floor of the laboratory on standby.
According to the experience of those who have participated in the "Seven Institutes" mission, they only need to hang up in the research institute until the mission is completed, without actually fighting.
Although the task process is a bit cumbersome, the rewards are generous, and it can also increase the professional experience of the scientific expedition team and the favorability of key NPCs. Therefore, there are always many people taking the task, and some even need to be snatched.
To be continued...
