Chapter 1339： Frontline laboratory (1/2)
Fendi only glanced at the mission summary, and quickly returned his attention to the road in front of him. The wind and snow at this moment seemed to be a bit smaller than before, but the weather was still bad, and the temporarily built hardened road was full of wind. The snow stretches towards the dim distance, and at the end of the road, you can already see something vaguely standing on top of a small hill. There is artificial light in that direction, which should be the end of the trip.
The voice of a communications technician was coming from the rear at this moment: "Sir, who do you say would set up a frontline laboratory in such a place? This is almost next to the line of fire between us and the distortion body..."
"That's why it is called the front-line laboratory," Fendier said without looking back. "I heard that the laboratory is used to study the waste soil environment and the characteristics of the aberrations. Of course, it will be set up closest to it. The place inside the wasteland."
"...Anyway, the person in charge of this kind of laboratory must be a brave scholar. How can ordinary people dare to stay in this kind of place," the soldier said with a sigh. "The above also reminds us to maintain sufficient respect and calm...respect me. Understandably, this kind of scholar must be respected, but why do you have to say an extra calm?"
Fendier himself was actually quite curious about this. He couldn't help but think about it when he heard what he was doing. He curled his mouth: "Who knows, this mission is mysterious...maybe it's because of the laboratory. The image of the person in charge is a bit strange? After all, you see that we already have a great craftsman like an iron ball and a great magician in the form of an arcane spirit..."
"Weird image? Will it be ugly?"
"You ask me who I want to go, anyway, there should be some peculiar looks." Fendier said casually, and did not continue to continue this kind of nutritious dialogue with his men, but continued to pay attention to the road with vigilant attention. Happening.
This place is already inside the Gondor Wasteland. Before the big hole in the magnificent wall appeared, there was only a piece of rotten and dilapidated wasteland and boundless haze, but as the energy barrier disappeared, the environment in this area also changed. Then it changed. The airflow from the outside made it rainy and snowy, and due to the drastic changes in the flow of magic, the weather here was even more unpredictable and inclined to extremes than other places.
The empire has successfully established several propulsion bases and purification devices in this area. In a sense, this original waste land belt can now be regarded as a new frontier of the civilized world, but it is not safe here: in the south The assembled army of deformed bodies is still maintaining an offensive on the northern battlefield, and there are often small groups of deformed bodies passing through the battlefield blockade. In this area, they are often quickly wiped out, but before that, they are also threatening on the ground. The engineers walking between the frontline camps.
Fendier thought of the "frontline laboratory" that was a facility that had just appeared recently. Its construction speed was amazing, and its location was strange. He did not fail to understand that the empire needed a wasteland research facility. "Outposts", but shouldn't an outpost like this be properly protected? At least it has to be built in the propulsion base to be considered safe. However, judging from the map sent by the superior, the laboratory is completely far away from all propulsion bases and forward military stations. It is extremely radically located on the "line of fire" and its location is not Under any protection, Fendi did not want to question the judgment of his superiors, but he really didn't understand it.
At this moment, the environment outside the car window suddenly changed, and Fendier's thoughts were interrupted. He found that he suddenly passed through an invisible "boundary", and the wind and snow outside the window suddenly appeared in front of this boundary. However, a large-scale "calm space" was formed, and a small mountain was located in the center of this area far away from the disturbance of wind and snow. The whole mountain was shrouded by a gleaming "curtain". Unclear mysterious runes flowed like rain on the surface of the curtain, and inside the curtain was the end of his trip:
It was a... mansion, a medieval-style mansion that was indistinguishable from the "research facility" in any way. It made Fendier unable to help but think of the classical courtyard favored by northern scholars, with a solemn tone. The gray exterior wall and the dark blue roof are dotted with clinging vines and narrow flower beds. If it weren’t for the flag of the Cecil Empire, the Empire’s Magic Technology Department hung in front of it. Fendier would even wonder if he had found the wrong place. The style of this laboratory is not at the same level as the many imperial facilities he is familiar with.
But soon he put this doubt aside. After all, there are many strange characters in the upper empire, and styles have always changed. Compared with the tree on the Plain of the Holy Spirit and the priests of the Holy Light Church , A laboratory that looks more like a private mansion is still in the range that ordinary humans can understand. He has only one thing that he can’t understand. How did the people who built this laboratory build such a mansion in such a short time? of? This thing doesn’t look like it’s built with prefabricated parts...
The chaotic thoughts flashed in his mind, but Fendier did not delay the things in his hands. He drove the car up the ramp leading to the mansion and passed through the "veil with countless runes flowing." "The moment the vehicle passed through the curtain, he felt something swept over his body. This might be some kind of defense or identification system. Afterwards, he parked the car in the open space in front of the "laboratory", and brought two soldiers with surprised and curious faces to the dark gate.
He took a breath, feeling a little nervous for some reason, and then put his hand on the door, but before he was about to pull the rope marked "visitor bell", a female voice that sounded gentle and nice From inside it came out: "Come in directly, I have seen that your door is unlocked."
Fendier and the soldiers looked at each other, and then with a light push, the door that looked unusually heavy opened silently.
The next second a bright hall appeared in his eyes, he felt dizzy due to the strange structure in the hall.
He saw an open space covered with a dark red carpet. There were countless dazzling experimental devices and alchemy vessels arranged nearby and running on their own. The arcane servants resembling spiritual bodies were on platforms or shelves. Shuttle back and forth, copy data or control various magical organs;
At the end of the hall, he saw a tall, spiraling upward staircase leading to a platform in the air. Above the platform, there was no roof at all, but a deep space that seemed to extend upwards infinitely. Disorderly stacking stairs, stacking platforms, countless gates, and corridors and bridges spanning across the sky make people dizzy;
At the highest point of the deep space, Fendier vaguely saw some floating, chaotic and dark outlines. He didn't know what those were, but he had a feeling... He felt that the end of there seemed to have been separated. This physical space-time is even connected to a more distant and mysterious place...
The scale and structure of this building are completely inconsistent with the structure of the mansion that looks outside!
Fendier took a sharp breath and broke free from the dizziness. He looked at the two technical soldiers he had brought, but saw the same shock and confusion as his own in their eyes, but soon, for a while. The regular footsteps sounded from not far away. There seemed to be some magic in the footsteps, which made Fendier's pounding heart calm down instantly, and he heard the nice female voice coming from behind: "You are here to help connect to the Internet, right? Great, I've been waiting for a long time... Ah sorry this place is still a bit messy now..."
Fendier turned his head to follow the voice, the expression on his face that finally eased suddenly became a bit stiff: a tall figure appeared in front of him, making him subconsciously look up and look up, and finally see the lady's face clearly. .
A beautiful lady with a mysterious temperament, wearing a complicated black palace dress, wearing silk gloves and delicate purple hair accessories, is at least two meters tall.
