Walking through the mechanical corridor at the edge of the laboratory, passing by a large number of operating instruments, Wang Shouxin led Wang Shengxiao to the central area of the Abyss Laboratory.
The floor of the laboratory is not flat, but has an extremely subtle slope. Based on a certain principle, the slope goes all the way down. The amplitude is very small and difficult to detect, but it is real.
A large number of pipes spread from all corners, covering the heads of the two people. The lights covered them from the top and were blocked by the dense pipes, leaving patches of light on the ground.
There are more and more rigid mechanical bodies around.
The closer you get to the center, the stricter the hygiene requirements.
The sweeping robot on the ground is working almost non-stop, and the sterilization equipment is also in operation.
The humanoid mechanical body carries relatively delicate materials to its destination, while the huge mechanical body with limbs that looks like a giant beast, but has no head, and its back is just a flat plate, also takes heavy steps forward.
Walk.
The destination of all mechanical bodies is the mechanical tower in the center.
When every mechanical body passes by Wang Shengxiao, electronic light will sweep over him, and after a slight pause, it will continue to move forward.
"???????????????These mechanical bodies are not only transportation tools, but also mobile cameras in the laboratory. There are many instruments here. They have been updated and supplemented for countless years. Even if
It uses the most advanced equipment, but with so many things, it is difficult to reduce the failure rate. Almost every day, equipment fails to varying degrees.
As you move around the mechanical body, you may find faulty equipment at any time, and then report it, or replace it, or repair it. Having these things around will save you a lot of worry."
Leading his grandson towards the central mechanical tower, Wang Shouxin said in a low voice.
He still couldn't accept Wang Shengxiao going to undergo transformation. This kind of thing was simply not in line with his understanding.
No matter how much Wang Shengxiao emphasizes the crisis in the outside world, in the old man's heart, the Wang family in Beihai is invincible and their status as hegemon is deeply rooted. He risks giving up the future and allows the patriarch to personally undergo the most dangerous transformation just to gain safety for half a year.
time.
This fact impacted his cognition, making it impossible for him to relax or adjust.
But there was nothing he could do to persuade her.
He scolded, hit, put on airs, deliberately found trouble and lost his temper, he did everything he could, but when Wang Shengxiao really ordered him as the leader of the Beihai Wang clan, he could do everything
There is really no room for rejection.
Wang Shengxiao nodded and looked at everything around him.
His mentality had completely calmed down, but there was an unconcealable greed in his eyes, as if he wanted to remember everything he saw and then keep thinking about it.
"There are also different opinions on your transformation in the laboratory. For example, I, headed by me, are firmly opposed to it."
Wang Shouxin shook his head: "But it seems like it's useless now."
"And there are still some people, Huangfuling and others..."
Wang Shouxin pointed to his brain: "They already have a problem here. They want to see miracles, no, they want to create miracles themselves. In their view, your transformation is direct evidence that science can crush force.
.
They need a strong enough individual to become a test subject. As for who this individual is, whether he is the leader of the clan, whether he will die, or what the future holds, they don't care at all.
So they welcome your arrival with both hands. Those people only see their research field and their research direction. These people are scientific research madmen. They have long forgotten their own family and the Wang family of Beihai.
These people like you, and you will like them too.
After your transformation begins, if you need help, if necessary, they will not hesitate to commit suicide to help you complete the transformation. In their eyes, they are not helping you, but protecting their own research results. You decide to
After the renovation, they have held several banquets to celebrate."
"Besides this group of lunatics, there is another group. They don't care about your transformation. They don't oppose or agree with it. They will only do what they should do. Apart from the work at hand, they will not do anything else.
They will not interfere at all. Even if they see it, as long as it is not related to them, they will treat it as invisible..."
"Three groups..."
Wang Shengxiao couldn't help but glance at Wang Shouxin: "I remember that there were no more than forty people in the Abyss Laboratory. With such a small number of people, they were divided into three groups?"
"What's so surprising?"
Wang Shouxin said calmly: "Don't you know the origins of the people here?"
Wang Shengxiao remained silent.
The Abyss Laboratory is one of the core assets of the Wang family in Beihai. The so-called Laboratory Zero has existed for countless years, but only the patriarchs of the past generations know about it...
This level of secrecy is definitely outrageous.
The most basic way to achieve this is to manage the access of everyone in the laboratory, or in other words, they can only enter but not exit.
Except for the leader of the Beihai Wang clan, everyone who enters here will have no way to get out in this life. For the rest of their lives, everyone will only have this laboratory left.
Therefore, the composition of the people here is relatively complex.
There are direct descendants of the Wang family in Beihai, similar to Wang Shouxin who made a mistake when he was young but did not die but is missing.
There are also some scientific research lunatics like Huangfuling who only want to do research and don't care about anything unless they get married, fall in love or have children, and regard this place as a paradise.
There are also mad scientists who have been collected by the Beihai Wang family from all over the world who have committed crimes and want to survive, or top researchers who are willing to sell themselves to the Beihai Wang family for the scientific research projects at hand...
Everyone has different reasons for coming here. Although there are not many people here, they gather together and are only divided into several small groups, which is relatively small.
"No matter what, as long as they can help me complete the transformation, the Beihai Wang family will recognize their contribution and appropriately meet their requirements, such as taking care of their families outside, a large amount of funds, and precious materials.
"
Wang Shengxiao said calmly.
Wang Shengxiao did not make any comments, but pointed in another direction, which was also an area covered by machinery, but without complicated pipelines: "Over there is the living area, with a laboratory vegetable patch, and vegetables grown there.
There are grains, fruits, and some animals. Do you want to take a look? They are all raised using the most scientific methods. There are some things you can’t eat outside."
He touched his beard and had some aftertaste: "We can make our own wine over there, pair it with the vegetables and meat we picked ourselves, and have a hot pot meal. Let me tell you, it tastes delicious!
Don't you want to try it?
There is still time before the transformation, how about having a meal with me and enjoying it?"
Wang Shengxiao looked at Wang Shouxin.
The old man walked very slowly, dilly-dallying and chirping, trying his best to distract his attention, trying to delay time, and then there were food temptations and other things. What was he paying attention to? Wang Shengxiao knew very well that the old man was isolated from the world.
For decades, under the condition that he could not disobey the patriarch's order, he was trying every means to save his grandson, wear down his determination, and make him change his mind. Wang Shengxiao shook his head.
He didn't say much, just said in a gentle voice: "Let's hurry up and go to the conference room."
"What's the point of going to the conference room? I have to have meetings there every three days and it's really annoying..."
Wang Shouxin kept mumbling.
Wang Shengxiao laughed and suddenly said: "Fourth Grandpa, do you know how I felt when I got here?"
Wang Shouxin was stunned: "Afraid?"
"It's the kind of suffering that is about to be relieved."
Wang Shengxiao said calmly: "This is the most uncomfortable time. I convinced myself to let go of everything. I let go of my mother, my wife, and my children. It is not too much to say that I am unfilial, unfaithful, and unkind. I have adjusted.
I am mentally prepared to face my own ending. At this time, if I waste even one more second, I will feel very tortured. This feeling of being stuck at the end even though I am about to be released...I will become very tempted to hit someone.
.”
Wang Shouxin's eyes widened again, but in the end he stopped talking and quickened his pace slightly.
The two walked into the central mechanical tower along a huge doorway.
The first thing Wang Shengxiao noticed when he entered the tower was a huge screen.
On the huge screen, the picture seems to be taken at the bottom of the sea.
The water is surging and bubbles appear from time to time.
There is a mountain under the sea that is quietly being processed. It is extremely tall and has an extremely weird shape.
Wang Shengxiao looked at the mountain and remained silent.
Of course he knows what that mountain is.
Steel!
A massive, seemingly inexhaustible amount of steel sinking to the bottom of the sea.
An extremely huge mechanical body appeared on the screen.
The mechanical body slid its limbs on the seabed, slowly approaching the steel. When it approached the giant steel mountain to a certain range, the mechanical body acted like a magnet, directly attracting a huge piece of crude steel.
The steel fell on the back of the mechanical body, its body shook slightly, and the water bubbles rolled.
It slowly turned away on the sea floor.
Behind the mechanical body, more mechanical bodies were densely approaching the giant steel mountain, and huge pieces of steel were attracted to the seabed.
The mechanical tower is shaking slightly.
In a place where Wang Shengxiao couldn't see, a door seemed to open at the bottom of the tower, and the huge steel and sea water were swallowed in by the door at the same time.
Countless steel, countless sea water.
That door was like a bottomless pit. I don't know where the steel swallowed by it went, but the speed at which it swallowed steel never stopped.
"You should know, right?"
Wang Shouxin's voice rang from beside him: "That's where you need to be transformed."
His hand pointed upward.
The interior of the tower is completely hollow, except that there are mechanical corridors layer by layer at the edges, and the center is completely filled with dense pipes.
Countless pipes spread from every corner of the entire laboratory, enter the tower, and then connect to the most central location inside the tower.
In that area, there was a rectangle, probably less than three meters long, more than one meter high, and two meters wide.
It is held up by countless pipes and suspended in the air, quietly and motionless.
That is...
A coffin.
A dark, silent, metal coffin.
"I know."
Wang Shengxiao looked up at the coffin and said softly: "It looks quite comfortable inside."
Wang Shouxin's face was gloomy, he shook his hand suddenly and said in a cold voice: "Since you want to die, then prepare for surgery."
