Chapter 274 Extraterrestrial Civilization Research Institute (1)
Although it is hundreds of meters underground, the air is not turbid. On the contrary, the underground with oxygenation equipment makes breathing easier.
The underground space was beyond Su Xiaofan's imagination. This was not a laboratory with only two to three hundred square meters, but an underground base covering an area of tens of thousands of square meters.
The underground floors are more than ten meters high. I don’t know who created it. The latest technology was applied to the dome of the underground space to imitate the sun, moon and stars.
As time changes, the view from the dome will also change.
During the day, there is no need to turn on the lights in the entire space, but at night, the lights are automatically turned on, so that night and day are clearly visible, so that people will not be confused by time because they are underground.
Even in the underground space, the four seasons of the year can be reflected through the external environment. The entire space is filled with unique flowers of each season, making it impossible for people to feel that this is hundreds of meters underground.
But there is only one thing that makes people feel the specialness of this place, and that is that every time you enter a door, there will be extremely strict opening procedures.
The entire underground space is divided into different research areas, and each area is independent.
Researchers in each independent area cannot move to other research areas, and many researchers do not even know that there are other research institutes nearby.
Only the three directors of the institute, one principal, two deputy directors, are qualified to inspect all areas of the institute, and Su Xiaofan came in under the leadership of the director.
Hualong had great respect for the director, who was about sixty years old and whose surname was Feng.
Hualong secretly sent a message to Su Xiaofan that Director Feng was the first person in the country to conduct scientific research on extraterrestrial civilizations.
Many of the technologies of extraterrestrial civilizations were transformed by him into technologies for modern scientific research applications and spread to society, making great contributions to the country.
After passing through several doors that required several procedures to enter, Director Feng brought Hualong and Su Xiaofan to his office.
The importance the country attaches to this extraterrestrial civilization research base can be seen from Director Feng's office.
In an environment like the underground, Director Feng's office is actually a two-bedroom and one-living room, with the living room alone covering hundreds of square meters.
Outside the living room, there is a smaller office, in which sits Director Feng's secretary. Director Feng usually conveys his instructions through his secretary.
After sitting down in the office, the secretary immediately brought tea. Su Xiaofan looked at the red tea soup in front of him in surprise.
"Xiao Su knows tea very well."
Seeing Su Xiaofan's face, Director Feng smiled and said: "This is the Dahongpao sent from Wuyi, but it is not from those mother trees, but it is rarer and more precious than the tea from the mother trees."
“The best of spiritual teas!”
Su Xiaofan commented that just smelling this tea can make you feel refreshed, and the effect is not as good as that of musk tea.
"I can't even drink this tea, so I can only come here to take advantage of Director Feng."
Hualong chuckled and flattered the other party. In the past, Hualong's level was even lower than that of Director Feng, and the two of them had crossed paths from time to time.
However, things are changing, and now is an era of spiritual recovery. A large number of practitioners have emerged in society, which will inevitably change this social form in the future.
Therefore, Hualong also rose, and he suddenly occupied a high position and became one of the top people who could discuss national policies. His status was actually above that of Director Feng.
"Old Hua, you are so proud of yourself now that your horses are hoofed."
Director Feng looked at Hualong and said with a smile: "Don't do this to me. Although cultivator civilization is now recovering, technological civilization cannot be abandoned. It is still extremely important to the development of human civilization."
"Of course, we can all see the contribution you, Old Feng, have made."
Hualong nodded repeatedly and said: "Old Feng, the first thing I did after coming here was to increase the funding for your institute."
"Unfortunately, the most important part of the remains is very likely to be in the hands of the United States, and subsequent research will be very difficult."
Director Feng sighed. Research on existing extraterrestrial civilizations has been going on for forty or fifty years.
In this research institute, there are at least ten scientists who have not returned to the surface world for nearly half a century.
They have grown from black-haired teenagers to white-haired old men who have been living underground. They are really the unsung heroes that no one knows.
However, in recent years, the research on extraterrestrial civilizations has entered a bottleneck period. It is true that China was not strong enough at that time, and there were too few remains of civilizations that had high status.
"It's hard to get things from Area 51 in the United States, and they're not willing to share them."
Hualong sighed after hearing this. No matter what, the beautiful country is still the most powerful country in the world.
Even though the current comprehensive national strength of the beautiful country is weaker than that of China, China does not want to quarrel with it because it possesses a powerful nuclear arsenal.
"Xiao Su, I wonder what you want to know?"
Director Feng looked at Su Xiaofan, he quite admired this young man.
Director Feng is neither unfamiliar with nor rejecting cultivator civilization.
Because Director Feng himself is also a practitioner in the qi training period, this is the qi sense that the state forced him to cultivate with elixirs, just to make Director Feng healthier.
Not only Director Feng, but also many domestic scientists who have made important contributions to the country have enjoyed such treatment.
As the upper age limit of these people increases, they can make more contributions to the country. For this, China also paid a heavy price in the early years.
Director Feng knew about Su Xiaofan's contribution to China, and also knew that Su Xiaofan could absorb the energy in meteorites, which was why he agreed to Su Xiaofan's entry into the research institute.
"I want to know everything!"
Su Xiaofan was not polite to the other party and said straight to the point: "I want to understand the culture, language, writing, and technology of extraterrestrial civilizations. As long as I study them all, I want to know."
"Oh? Why do you have such an idea?"
Director Feng said in confusion: "How will understanding them help you? You must know that you are a member of the cultivator civilization system..."
"In my opinion, whether it is a cultivator civilization or a technological civilization, they should all be members of the cosmic civilization..."
When Su Xiaofan said this, his tone deliberately paused. Even without looking at Director Feng's face, Su Xiaofan knew that his expression suddenly changed.
"Xiao Su, you... do you know that there is civilization in the universe?"
Sure enough, Director Feng's voice suddenly became urgent, and his body, which had been sitting firmly, suddenly stood up.
"Is it strange that there is... civilization in the universe?"
Su Xiaofan had a confused look on his face, "It turns out that several countries on the earth have obtained the remains of extraterrestrial civilizations. Doesn't this mean that there are other civilizations in the universe?"
"You...did you deduce it from this?" Director Feng had a look of dumbfounding on his face.
"Of course, I feel that the energy from the stars that I have absorbed may also be energy that can be used by cosmic civilizations."
Su Xiaofan brought the topic to his starry sky energy, which was invisible and intangible anyway, and Director Feng in front of him didn't know that he was just talking nonsense.
"Xiao Su, we have actually done some research on the star energy you absorbed."
Director Feng said this and pressed a button in front of him, "Guo Qing, bring over the meteorites you prepared earlier."
After five or six seconds, there was a knock on the office door from outside, and the secretary sitting outside walked in with an aluminum alloy box.
"Xiao Su, can you see if these meteorites can be absorbed?"
Director Feng opened the box and found five meteorites inside. Su Xiaofan glanced at them and nodded immediately.
The five meteorites are all rare meteorites, ranging from gold-iron meteorites to glass meteorites, and are divided into five varieties, but they can all be absorbed.
Someone sent a meteorite, so Su Xiaofan was naturally not polite. He immediately picked up the meteorites and absorbed them one by one.
[Repair value: 4500 points!]
A few meteorites added more than a hundred points to Su Xiaofan, which rounded up the repair value points in his mind.
"it is as expected."
Looking at the ashes left on the table, Director Feng said: "Xiao Guo, take these to the laboratory for comparison."
"OK."
Director Feng's secretary took out a pony brush, carefully swept a few handfuls of powder on the table into the bag, and then left the office.
"Xiao Su, the energy you absorbed can also be extracted from meteorites through instruments!"
Seeing Su Xiaofan's confused look, he said, "And after extracting this energy, the meteorite will turn into debris, but it may not be as thorough as your extraction, and it will not turn into such powder."
"What? You can also extract energy from the stars?"
Su Xiaofan's eyes widened when he heard this. He didn't expect that besides repairing the system, there would be someone who could extract this energy.
"Yes, we have done many experiments over the years and consumed tens of thousands of meteorites before we finally succeeded in extracting this energy."
Director Feng nodded, but with a trace of regret on his face, he said: "Unfortunately, we don't know what the use of this energy is, and we can't apply it in practice. In the end, all the energy dissipated."
"Count...tens of thousands of meteorites?"
Su Xiaofan felt that he had the urge to hit someone. Tens of thousands of rare meteorites were all wasted just... just for an experiment?
If these tens of thousands of meteorites were given to Su Xiaofan, not to mention Senior Brother Kong's injuries, Su Xiaofan would be willing to take action to wipe out all the Chaofan in the rivers and lakes in the country.
Looking at Hualong, Su Xiaofan was really a little angry. So many meteorites were thrown into a fruitless experiment. This was a huge waste.
"Don't look at me. I don't want what Old Feng has in his hands."
Seeing the look in Su Xiaofan's eyes, Hua Long couldn't help but smile bitterly. He used to be inferior to the other party, so people who wanted meteorites ignored him at all.
Even now, Hualong does not dare to use his administrative level to pressure the other party to get things. If Director Feng gives up his job, then Hualong will be the first to be unlucky.
"Director Feng spent tens of thousands of rare meteorites and failed to produce a single result. Is it worth it?"
Although he respected the old man in front of him, Su Xiaofan's words were still a bit unkind.
There are tens of thousands of rare meteorites. Even if one piece can only provide ten points of repair value, Su Xiaofan's repair system can suddenly increase the repair value by hundreds of thousands of points. Su Xiaofan feels heartbroken just thinking about it.
"worth!"
To Su Xiaofan's surprise, the old man said seriously: "Scientific research projects are originally exploration in research. As long as there are some results, it will be a very big progress for mankind.
So let alone consuming tens of thousands of meteorites, even more precious things are not a pity to consume for research, because only through research can we truly understand and use them..."
"Okay, you decide what's yours..."
Su Xiaofan waved his hand listlessly, "Can you let me see the actual objects of extraterrestrial civilization? I mean, the original objects you found."
"Okay, but can you cooperate with us in doing research?"
Director Feng looked at Su Xiaofan and said, "We have also done some research on cosmic energy. Can the energy you absorbed be released and fed back into our research equipment?"
"Sorry, this energy can only be used for my cultivation. Once absorbed, it cannot be released."
Su Xiaofan shook his head, "Are you kidding me? You haven't seen anything yet, so you want to take advantage of me first."
Moreover, Su Xiaofan really couldn't release the energy in the meteorite, and the energy value was not a physical currency. Su Xiaofan could just take out a few at will.
"Then...can we collect some samples from your body for research?"
Director Feng glanced at Su Xiaofan and said, "Maybe your blood also contains this energy. Can you let us study it?"
"Old Feng, isn't this inappropriate?"
Before Su Xiaofan could reply, Hualong spoke first. The blood of cultivators is different from that of ordinary people. Every drop is precious.
The relevant departments manage cultivators, so naturally they also conduct research on cultivators.
Relevant departments once suspected that the legendary Tang Sanzang was a high-level cultivator, so there were so many demons and ghosts who wanted to eat Tang Sanzang and become immortal.
"Yes, but you have to be sincere, Director Feng."
To Hualong's surprise, Su Xiaofan actually agreed to Director Feng's request.
"Okay, let me first introduce you to the situation of the institute."
Su Xiaofan was so happy that if Director Feng kept secretive, he would not be able to justify it in front of Hualong.
"Our research institute is mainly divided into three major areas: materials, information research and energy research. This has something to do with the wreckage we obtained back then."
According to Director Feng, the remains of extraterrestrial civilizations obtained by China back then were dug from Siberia.
That was not long after the founding of the People's Republic of China. At that time, a group of workers went to Maozi to learn oil exploration technology and discovered the remains of an extraterrestrial civilization in the ice and snow of Siberia.
In fact, those workers didn't know what it was at the time, but among these workers, there was a practitioner in the Qi training stage.
This cultivator intuitively felt that this thing that looked a bit like an airplane cockpit was probably a high-tech technology from the United States or Lao Maozi.
So the cultivator buried the thing that looked a bit like a cockpit deep underground, and notified the relevant departments after returning home.
Huaxia's top management attached great importance to this information and asked relevant departments to find ways to transport it back to the country.
At that time, the person in charge of the relevant departments was Hualong.
In order to complete the task, Hualong found three foundation-building cultivators, plus the cultivator who discovered the wreckage, and the four of them entered Siberia on foot.
Siberia is vast and sparsely populated, and the oil exploration teams are not fixed. The place where the wreckage is buried has long been deserted.
After digging out the wreckage, the four people returned home at night, and then the relevant departments organized multiple scientific research departments to jointly study it.
After several years of research, the wreckage obtained from Siberia was designated as extraterrestrial civilization technology, and a research team was formed.
Although Director Feng is only the second generation leader of this research team, he participated in its establishment and is considered one of the founders of the Institute of Extraterrestrial Civilizations.
"Director Feng, let me take a look at the materials first."
Su Xiaofan thought for a moment and said: "In addition, if there are initial photos and images, I hope they can be provided."
"Okay, then I will take you to the Materials Research Institute."
Director Feng nodded, stood up and led the two of them out of the office.
After walking about five or six hundred meters underground, the three of them entered a room. They had to change into protective clothing in this room before they could enter the Materials Research Institute.
After changing into bloated white clothes, under the leadership of Director Feng, they entered a very modern glass space.
This space is very large and is separated from each other by glass. In the words of Director Feng, these glasses are specially made and can prevent fire, heavy impact and gas leakage.
There are many staff members wearing protective clothing working in the glass room. When they see Director Feng, they just say hello.
However, Su Xiaofan and Hualong were given a lot of curious looks, after all, few outsiders came in here.
Taking the two of them to one of the rooms, Director Feng clicked somewhere, and a picture consisting of multiple pictures appeared on the wall directly in front of Su Xiaofan.
"Do you want me to zoom in and show it to you?"
Director Feng clicked on one of the pictures, and the picture immediately occupied the entire wall.
"No, go back."
Su Xiaofan shook his head. With his eyesight, there was no need to zoom in, and he could see faster that way.
"The cultivators are all weirdos."
Director Feng's kindness was not rewarded, so he muttered something and zoomed back the screen.
"This... seems to be the cockpit of a flying object from an extraterrestrial civilization."
Looking at the first picture, it is a very simple large electronic screen. There are three seats in front of the electronic screen. The space is not very large and there are no complicated operating equipment.
In fact, it is impossible for extraterrestrial civilizations to have mechanical operating systems. Even the current earth technology has become electronic.
"This is the glass of the cockpit. In fact, they can be regarded as a kind of alloy. The defense level is very high. Even after explosions and attacks, the glass on the console is still preserved."
Director Feng was introducing Su Xiaofan, "We have made some breakthroughs in the research on these glasses. The glass used in many places now is an extension of the technology here..."
Director Feng is very proud that the research over the past few decades has not been in vain. They have provided China and even human civilization with many technologies that are beyond the civilization of the earth.
However, the release of these technologies was gradual and followed a set of reasonable processes, which did not attract much attention.
"Have you discovered anything about this electronic screen?" Su Xiaofan asked, pointing to the screen-like thing.
"There are results and they have been applied to space and aerospace."
Director Feng said with some regret: "However, the results are purely for the screen. We do not have the energy to light up the screen, so after so many years, the research on the screen is not very satisfactory."
The electronic screen itself does not actually have high technological content. What Director Feng and the others want to get is the information on the electronic screen.
This is the most important thing in an aircraft. If the electronic screen can be unlocked, Earth's flight technology will be rapidly improved immediately.
Su Xiaofan somewhat understood, and immediately said: "You are studying meteorites just to find the energy needed to conquer the electronic screen?"
"There's some part of that idea, but it's not entirely true."
Director Feng shook his head, "The electronic screen itself is not damaged, but the components connected to the electronic screen are basically damaged, and we cannot supply energy to it."
"Huh? Director Feng, do you mean to say that you have obtained the energy of this aircraft?"
Su Xiaofan suddenly heard the meaning of Director Feng's words and became excited.
If Director Feng had energy crystals here, wouldn't his repair system be completely repairable?
