"This is...a research institute? No, it's so big, it should be a research center, right? Wait, a military research center?"
Sister Aini's car passed by a series of iron mesh fences and things similar to laser walls, and what should be a huge complex of buildings appeared in the field of vision. I saw that the outer warning buffer area was covered with various types of buildings.
The fort and bunker, as well as the air radar, continued to track our trajectory. I had only seen such a heavily guarded place in a game before.
"There is no distinction between military and civilian use. The most important thing for mankind is to advance in science and technology as quickly as possible. Biotechnology is very important. Humanity's current fragile body cannot withstand deep space travel at all. You can't expect us to transform all humans, right? Now you see
What we have arrived at is the world's largest biomedical research center, which gathers elite talents in all biological fields. If this place is attacked, then human biology and medical standards will directly return to the Middle Ages." Sister Aini said while turning the car
Land on the main road leading to the main entrance.
"No wonder it is surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside... Why do you want to build such a research facility that will be ruined all at once?"
"In order to maximize resource efficiency~ Amy, let me ask you, the 19th and 20th centuries were the era of technological explosion, right? Humanity has made more progress in just 200 years than in the past thousands of years? But it has stagnated in the 21st century
Yes, why is this?"
"Uh... because technology can't keep up with theory?"
"Then why can't technology keep up with theory?"
"Because...ah, I know! Because there are not enough resources invested!"
"Partly true, but the main reason is the waste of resources and talent."
"What's the meaning?"
"For example, if a certain country has developed advanced superconducting materials that can greatly improve the efficiency of power equipment, what will other countries do when they see it?"
"Of course I want to find a way to get this technology. If I can't get it, why don't I step up my own research?"
"Yes, this is a waste of resources and talent. Obviously this material has been researched, but other countries still spend a lot of resources on the same thing, and these resources and talents could have been used to study new topics."
"Ah...I understand! That's why you built this research center that concentrates all humankind's scientific research efforts?"
"Yes, we have also established research centers in other disciplines, and a new technological explosion is just around the corner."
"Alas~ Humanity really owes you a lot... Without your integration, I don't know how long the internal friction will have ended~" I sighed.
"The vision of a race is indeed related to its lifespan. You can't expect a race like humans, which has a lifespan of a hundred years, to look beyond a thousand years... Well, things like ethos can be changed. Just watch, Amy. One day, humans will
It will become a breath of fresh air in the world.”
"Why does this sound so weird? Who do humans think they are now?"
"Clear your nose."
"..."
After the car drove through a scanning passage full of science fiction, it stopped in front of a huge metal roadblock. Four soldiers wearing heavy combat uniforms (the kind that Sister Aini designed before) walked out of the bunker and surrounded the car.
four directions.
"Uh, do we still need to check when we go in?" I felt a little bit sick.
"Of course, although I am the boss here, I must follow the rules when entering and exiting. What if I have an activated nuclear warhead on my body?" Sister Aini replied disapprovingly, while lowering the window glass.
"Scanning in progress, please wait..."
An inspection device above the roadblock scanned the car with a fan-shaped light. After a while, the signal light hanging on the side changed from red to green.
"The scan has been passed. The vehicle is a creation of the divine mind. Please confirm the identity of the members."
After the beep, a soldier wearing standard armor walked out of the bunker on the roadside.
"Isn't this too cautious? Can the bad guys get the divine creation to drive over?" I complained.
"Amy, you are wrong. In such an important place, no matter how cautious you are, you never know where the bad guys will come from. Let me tell you, in fact, there is a flight control zone within a radius of fifty kilometers.
I did my identity verification when I flew in." Sister Aini waved her finger.
"Hello two goddesses, please allow me to confirm my identity." The soldier stood beside the car and saluted us. His expression was serious and serious, which was not what a beautiful girl should look like at all.
"I, Enilafu. She, Elumia." Sister Aini stretched out her finger and quickly drew two names written in shining divine characters in the air.
Why should I draw instead of write? Because sacred text is just a beautiful pattern without any meaning!
The soldier stared at the divine text for two seconds, then nodded and stepped aside, saying into the communicator, "Identity confirmed, release."
"Huh? You confirmed it just by looking at it? Why are you not cautious this time?" I looked confused.
"You brat, don't you know what the divine text is about?" Sister Aini looked at me like she was an idiot.
"What's going on? Isn't it just a pattern that is directly given meaning?"
"Yes, so only the sacred texts written by the goddess are meaningful! If it were written by a mortal, it would really be just a series of beautiful patterns. If you can read that what I wrote is our two names, it already shows that we are
She is a real goddess!"
"Uh...it seems so?" I scratched my head.
"Are you smart or stupid? Alas~"
Sister Aini shook her head and started the car. The huge metal roadblocks in front moved to both sides, and we gradually drove into the main part of the research center.
"Here... I'm going... This should be called the Research City, right? Isn't this a city at all?"
When I looked at it from the sky, I didn't pay attention to the specific layout here. When I entered it myself, I discovered that the buildings here are not only research facilities. Whether it is parks, shops, or restaurants and bars, there are things that a city should have here.
There is no shortage of them all. If you ignore that most of the passers-by are technical geeks in white coats, then this place is really no different from an ordinary city.
"Studying cities? You can do this. I'll change my name when I get back." Sister Aini opened her eyes and nodded.
"Uh, you're going to change your name just because I said it casually?"
"Yes~ Our goddess is so casual."
"Okay...but sister, why did you build the research center like this?"
"Of course it is to allow scholars to concentrate on their studies~ Scientists are just smart ordinary people. They also have various needs and have families and relatives. This city was built to meet all their needs. Think about it~ Study
When working on a project, you can stay in the laboratory for several months, and when you want to relax, you can go back to your living area to reunite with your relatives. You can have whatever you want, and you don’t have to worry about messy things at all... Scientists work in this state
Scientific research is absolutely super efficient!”
"Sounds very good... What, you're not using relatives as hostages to force them to do research, are you? The high walls and electric grid in this place look like a concentration camp..." I looked up at Wuzhi flying by and complained.
road.
"You brat, have you read too many dark works? The high wall and electric grid are used to prevent bad guys from coming in, not to stop them from getting out! They can leave at any time if they don't want to stay~ And interdisciplinary research often requires them to go to other research
Center for Communication, when did I lock them in? There are no giants outside the wall!" Sister Aini frowned and looked at me.
"Okay...but this place looks really evil..."
"That's because you are evil in your heart! Don't you see how comfortable they look?" Sister Aini pointed at the passers-by.
Hmm... the dead man with a gloomy expression carrying bottles and cans, the gay friend holding hands, the passionate kissing couple who blinded the eyes, the unlucky guy being chased by unknown creatures, and the old man fighting in a ball...
…The residents here do seem very comfortable…
"This is too comfortable, isn't it? What is all this! Are you telling me that these guys are scientists? The future of mankind depends on them?" I yelled at Sister Aini.
"Yes~ Human beings have this kind of virtue in their natural state~ Or do you think scientists are not human beings?"
"...Sister, luckily I didn't realize my childhood ideal. I feel really lucky."
