After Zhang Taichu explained his identity, someone quickly came out of the mountain base and invited him in.
He did not refuse, woke up Feng Baobao, who was still in a coma, and walked into the base hidden in the mountains with great interest.
After passing through a long cave corridor and getting on a metal elevator, dozens of seconds later, as the silver elevator door opened, a huge underground base appeared in front of him.
As far as the eye can see, it can be seen that the entire mountain is empty inside, like a modified underground cave. The surface of the rock formations is fixed with reinforced concrete and is brightly illuminated by high-power headlights.
In addition to several tall buildings built against the mountain wall, there are also many warehouse greenhouses and tents set up in them. The staff coming and going are all wearing uniforms of military green.
Looking at this magnificent underground base, Zhang Taichu's eyes lit up and he casually praised: "This is a big project."
A woman in military uniform who led the way said: "This base was built in the 1970s. At that time, it indeed took a lot of people's efforts to build it... Until it was opened again more than ten years ago, only a few people remained. A small number of people, our group, came in urgently a week ago."
Although the female officer only gave a general idea, Zhang Taichu also had a general understanding of the past and present life of this base. It seems that there was too much noise in Qinling a few days ago, which alerted the upper management, so relevant personnel were sent to station and intervene in this book. It's a matter within the alien world.
It didn't take long.
Under the leadership of the female officer who was obviously of high status, Zhang Taichu led the curious Feng Baobao into a building hidden inside the mountain and came to the door of a living room.
There, there was a tall old man in a Chinese tunic suit, with his hands hanging down. His calm and dignified face revealed the aura of a superior. But when he saw Zhang Taichu, he showed a kind smile and took the initiative to greet Zhang Taichu. Come over.
"You must be Master Taichu of Longhu Mountain. It's better to meet than to hear. My name is Meng Linhu, and I am the temporary person in charge of this base."
The old man introduced himself while extending his hand, his words showing respect.
Zhang Taichu responded with a polite smile, stretched out his hand to hold it, felt the energy in his body, and understood that the other person was not a practitioner.
After the two met, they briefly chatted for a few words, which were nothing more than polite words to resolve misunderstandings. Then Meng Linhu invited him into the living room to make tea and talk. After being rejected, he didn't say anything more. Just take the initiative to send him off.
The route the group took to leave was not the same route they took when they came in before.
Meng Linhu put his hands behind his back, holding his big belly, walking like a dragon and a tiger, half a body ahead of everyone else, turning left and right on the base route, extremely familiar with the road conditions, and said without looking back: "Forty years Some time ago, due to the mission requirements of my superiors, I was transferred from the northwest sandy area to this base."
"At that time, I was still a young boy. I had just arrived. The route in this cave was complicated. I often lost my way. I couldn't even remember my own laboratory... Later, I became obsessed with it as soon as I stayed in this base. After staying here for ten years, I only returned home once. In other words, this base is more like my home."
"Then the mission ended, and I was transferred to a new job. It wasn't until decades later that I came back a few days ago. The base has changed a lot. It's still the same as before, so don't look at this crooked scene. It’s so complicated that I can walk there with my eyes closed.”
"I heard that you are nearly a hundred years old. When I saw you today, you turned out to be as youthful and ageless as the rumors said. I am so envious of you, old man."
There was emotion in the old man's words, and he told everyone about his past, "It's a pity that after so many years, this base still looks the same, but I am already old."
"Unlike the real person, you are nearly a hundred years old, but you are always young. You are free from the world of mortals and carefree between heaven and earth. This is really enviable."
After listening to the old man's words, Zhang Taichu understood that the old man was a hero who had dedicated half his life to the country and the people. He also had a good impression in his heart and said with a smile: "If I could really escape from the world of mortals, I wouldn't be here today. . As the saying goes, it’s all about repairing and changing, and it will eventually end, so there’s nothing to worry about.”
Meng Linhu nodded: "Well, I just haven't experienced it, so I always yearn for it."
"I'm not afraid of making jokes. In fact, there were some strangers in my family's ancestors. But when it came to my generation, none of the descendants in the family were talented, and they couldn't even get started in Qi refining. The things left by our ancestors, After all, it can’t be passed on. Alas, I still have a bright mind. Although I can’t control the wind and be as carefree as you, the real person, I can still build a big iron bird or something to fly.”
At this time, the female officer who was following everyone smiled and said: "Mr. Meng, you are being humble. You are a hero of the country and our secret weapon. If you can even annihilate the Sixth Generation, you can only be called a big iron bird. Then haven’t all the fighter planes of other countries in the world turned into little iron birds?”
When they said this, everyone happened to pass a corner. The long corridor in front of them was lit with soft lights, and the laboratories on the right hand side were also brightly lit.
Along the way, through the narrow square glass window, you can see the scene inside. Staff wearing work uniforms are concentrating on controlling various precision instruments, as well as various models, large computers...
When passing by one of the larger laboratories, Zhang Taichu raised his brows and showed interest in his eyes, clearly feeling the fluctuations of Qi breath.
He turned his head and looked around, and what he saw was a huge mechanical component, like a huge robot arm, with precise lines extending out, connected to the computer screen on the other side, and converted into specific data.
Beside the huge arm, there were more than a dozen people surrounding it. They had a tacit understanding of division of labor and cooperation. There were also people who controlled a transparent container that was half a person tall. There was a green fluorescent liquid in it, which flowed into the arm along the pipe connection. , and flows back to the container from another pipe.
The faint breath came from the container containing the green liquid.
Zhang Taichu stopped and asked curiously: "What is that? How come there are fluctuations in Yuan Qi? Is it the latest research?"
Meng Linhu also stopped and looked at the scientific researchers who were still busy in the laboratory, with pride on his face, "This is the latest project currently being carried out. It combines cutting-edge technology with true energy to try to create a product with better performance." Excellent robot."
"They are all China's top military researchers, and many of the country's most important weapons are made by them."
"Mr. Meng is also one of them. He has been fighting on the front line for almost sixty years. He is a real national treasure."
The female clerk Song Yufei spoke, looking at everyone in the laboratory with full respect.
As a colleague who has eaten and drank with this group of cutest people for several years, she can deeply understand the strong sense of belief that exists in these scientific researchers, facing the national defense and military industry. This silent battlefield is truly not afraid of hardship or tiredness, and implements the four words of hard work to the extreme.
Hearing what Meng Linhu and Song Yufei said, Zhang Taichu nodded. Looking at the busy appearance of everyone in the laboratory, he couldn't bear to go in and disturb him. He just stopped at the window, looked at the huge mechanical arm, and said: "With technology, Combined with Zhenqi, I have seen a similar product from a foreign mercenary. It is a special tank that can only be driven by aliens. Its performance in all aspects is indeed much better than ordinary tanks, but In my opinion, it’s just a very superficial application.”
In the battle of Xilin Gol Grassland, the Wang family had summoned a large number of international mercenaries and strangers to attack him with tanks, artillery, fighter planes and missiles. Among them was the special tank driven by Qi, which left a deep impression on him. .
Meng Linhu nodded and said: "Similar research is being carried out in various countries around the world, covertly or covertly, but I can confidently say that in this field, China has reached the forefront, even if it is a beautiful country. , we can only watch our butts eat dust."
Zhang Taichu: "That's natural. The path of cultivation has been passed down from the beginning of the ancient qi practitioners to the present day, and it has never been interrupted. Even the history that can be investigated lasts for thousands of years. How can those group of Western Yi compare?"
Meng Linhu said: "That's true."
Zhang Taichu smiled again and said: "Speaking of this, I still admire you, Lao Meng, for actually cracking the mystery of Yuan Qi and using it."
Meng Linhu said: "Haha, real man, please don't touch my face. This research was not accomplished in a day, and it is not the result of me alone, but the efforts of countless scientific researchers for decades." The culmination of a lot of hard work.”
"Until now, we have only taken a small step on this road. What you see now is already the latest technology. Through extremely complex means, we use machines to simulate the meridians of the Qihai sea of alien beings, from heaven to earth. Capturing some miscellaneous Yuan Qi in the process is a crucial step... Speaking of which, you have to take credit for this."
Zhang Taichu raised his eyebrows: "My credit?"
Meng Linhu solemnly nodded and said: "Just when this research hit a bottleneck, I received an item, a man-made object that can echo the true energy of heaven and earth, and I was inspired by it."
Zhang Taichu thought for a while and said: "It looks like a lump of meat. It looks a little disgusting and very weird. I collected it in Biyou Village. The person who made it has not been caught yet."
Meng Linhu said: "That's it."
Zhang Taichu said: "What you said reminds me. Maybe I can introduce a talent to you. He is a strange person who is proficient in the art of divine machine. I think you will like Lao Meng very much."
He thought of Ma Xianhong, who was obsessed with Uncle Bailian. He had more black technology than him.
If he knew there was an opportunity to participate in the research of the national team and participate in this new project of "combination of science and technology", he would be very excited.
And with the national team taking care of everything, he doesn't need to worry that the other side will turn against him and cause a mess like the new coach.
Meng Linhu's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this. He excitedly held Zhang Taichu with both hands and said overjoyed: "If so, that would be great."
In fact, what he longed for most was what Zhang Taichu called "scientific research-type aliens" who mastered the magical arts. However, due to the previously established principles of autonomy and self-consistency in the alien world, there was no way to start.
It was not until this period of time that certain emergencies broke out, and after discussions at all levels, the superiors relaxed some restrictions and began to slowly reveal their will to rectify and integrate the society of the alien world.
To put it simply, the liberalization of policies was exactly when Lao Meng needed talents like Ma Xianhong the most!
In the following time, Meng Linhu was as if he had met a close friend. He kept talking to Zhang Taichu about his ideals, ambitions and professional fields. He talked endlessly, and even danced when he got excited.
It wasn't until he passed by a slightly secluded corridor that Meng Linhu gradually calmed down, put his hands behind his back, smiled at Zhang Taichu and said:
"After the incident in Qinling Mountains, the superiors asked me to lead people to this base. On the one hand, I considered that this place is strange and may be beneficial to carry out related Yuan Qi research, and on the other hand, it was also in order to deal with certain unexpected situations."
"For example, catching some blind mice running around."
While the two were talking, the female clerk Song Yufei was operating on the smooth wall on one side of the corridor. On the pop-up virtual screen, after authenticating her identity, she pressed a few buttons.
Immediately afterwards.
The empty corridor suddenly began to change. Amidst the rumbling sounds, the thick cement wall opened, revealing the silver steel cage inside.
At a glance, there were dozens of cells extending to the end of the corridor, in which figures were imprisoned one after another, occupying half of the cells.
"These are all the strangers who still entered without permission during the recent period after the Qinling Mountains were banned. Those who are not dead are all locked up here."
When Meng Linhu said this, there was a coldness in his eyes, and then he took a step forward, leading Zhang Taichu and Feng Baobao closer.
There are more than 20 people in prison, most of whom are from abroad.
There was a man in black wearing a black battle suit and a bat blindfold on his head. His hands and feet were blown off. The wounds were carefully treated and wrapped in bandages. When he saw Meng Linhu appear, he immediately jumped out of the steel cell in excitement. He rolled over on the bed and crawled to the cage on his hands and knees, crying a series of indistinct bird songs.
Meng Linhu didn't even look at the man and said, "Don't look at how embarrassed he is now. He was very arrogant a few days ago. At that time, a large army had just entered Qinling Mountains and happened to encounter him."
"Tsk, tsk, this guy was driving a tank, with a bat high-beam headlight, and he was so arrogant that he dared to launch a provocative attack on our army... In the end, he was beaten down by a cannon. After a good interrogation, he found out It turned out to be a spy sent by Great Britain.”
Meng Linhu said as he continued to move forward and came to the next cage.
Imprisoned among them were three young men wearing forehead protectors and black ninja uniforms. However, they all looked a bit miserable. They also had broken hands and broken legs. Their hair was curled up and they were completely black.
"This is a spy sent by the island country. He seems to be from the Konoha group. He uses a stealth ninjutsu. He wants to sneak into the ginkgo forest. Unfortunately, he is detected by radar every minute and is shot by a few howitzers. It’s taken care of,” Meng Linhu said.
Zhang Taichu turned his head to look, feeling the weak energy coming from the three ninjas, looking at the groggy eyes, and said: "The Qi Hai in their bodies seems to be blocked, so they cannot use supernatural powers. "
Meng Linhu said: "That's true. The special poison was used to paralyze all their meridians and meridians, so naturally they can no longer struggle."
Zhang Taichu said: "Since you are so kind to strangers in your childhood, you are still too kind."
Meng Linhu said: "I added some ingredients to the injection, which will not cause substantial harm, but will produce a kind of illusory pain. The effect is similar to the strong withdrawal reaction after XD, but it will be several times stronger. "
Zhang Taichu's eyes were startled, and then he carefully observed the three ninjas. Sure enough, he found that although those people were motionless, the pores on their bodies were trembling slightly. They were obviously in extreme pain, but they were unable to struggle and could only force themselves. Carrying state!
Feeling comfortable.
Zhang Taichu thought, and followed Meng Linhu all the way down. What he saw were alien spies from all over the world, including undead wizards who controlled mummies, head-dropping masters from Southeast Asia, wizards from Merlin Academy, and saints from the Holy Spirit. Knights of the Cross...
Most of these strangers were seriously injured, but they received good treatment and were imprisoned in cages, waiting for the next step.
"This matter is too big, and too many people know about it. I don't know how many claws are reaching out here, overtly or covertly." Meng Linhu said.
Zhang Taichu nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."
Meng Linhu shook his head, coughed dryly and said: "These are all things that should be done. I just want to say that I know a lot about the truth and secrets of this Qinling Mountains. It can be said that it is very little, but judging from the current situation, , must be something very important to the alien world... So if Master Fushi has discovered more, can you tell me?"
As he said that, Meng Linhu's eyes revealed a look of prayer.
Zhang Taichu laughed and agreed: "Okay."
time flies.
After visiting the interior of the base.
Meng Linhu personally escorted Zhang Taichu to the intersection outside the base, watching him soar into the sky, taking Feng Baobao into a flash of rainbow light and disappearing from sight, and stood there blankly. After a long time Only then did he come back to his senses.
…
In the night sky, the bright moon hung high, reached the highest point in the center, and then began to move westward.
Just above a dense primeval forest, Zhang Taichu stopped and stopped moving forward. He looked down and saw that the large green arrangement was sunken from all sides to the center, and there was a very obvious large crack in the middle.
"The entrance to the Twenty-Four Festival Valley looks ordinary."
He murmured to himself, and then with a thought, he took Feng Baobao, who was wrapped in the golden airflow, swooping down directly, and slowly stopped and landed as he approached the canopy of the tree.
The two of them had just stood firm when there was a burst of movement in the dense forest of No. 4 Middle School. Several black shadows came out and stood on the big tree in front of them, casting a condescending gaze.
Feng Baobao said: "A few little monkeys."
Zhang Taichu cast his gaze: "There is still a stick in his hand."
Feng Baobao added: "You also tied a stone, as if you want to knock us?"
Zhang Taichu smiled happily: "Rise of the Planet of the Apes."
next moment.
The yellow-haired wild monkeys, only half a man tall, grinned and waved the sticks in their hands, jumped up and smashed them down.
The end of the stick was wrapped around a sharp stone with tiny vines. Coupled with the acceleration of falling from a height, if it was hit hard, a grown man would be beaten to death.
But in the next moment, several sword lights flashed past.
The sticks were then evenly divided into dozens of pieces and fell to the ground with a clatter.
Along with it, there were bursts of shrill screams.
Feng Baobao danced the kitchen knife in his hand casually, and combined with a few whip kicks, he directly sent the monkeys deep into the dense forest.
"Oh ho ho~"
"Oh ho ho~"
"Ahhhhh~"
Several wild monkeys howled, but did not dare to pounce again. Instead, they stayed on the spot to greet their friends. There was a touch of humanity in their eyes that rolled around.
Feng Baobao was also a little surprised, looking at the wild monkeys that surrounded them when they first landed, and said: "These monkeys are really awesome, even better than those trained in the circus."
"I was going to kick them unconscious, but they still kept screaming."
As she spoke, she slowly raised the bone-picking knife in her hands and aimed it in the direction of the monkey, intending to use the flying knife to pick off the monkey's head.
But at this moment, an extremely violent roar suddenly sounded in the dense forest, and immediately afterwards, large black shadows rushed out as if in an endless stream, appearing on the big trees in all directions, surrounding the two of them. Surround.
Looking around, there are actually wild monkeys holding weapons and tools. Some are holding tree forks, some have rocks tied to vines and swinging them as meteor hammers, some are holding stone axes and knives, and some are even holding simple tools. Mu Gong... all bared their teeth and stared at them with unkind eyes.
? ? ? ?
Feng Baobao's always witty big eyes finally couldn't help but have a look of doubt. He stood next to Zhang Taichu's collar and said: "These wild monkeys are more awesome than I thought. They will look like this."
Zhang Taichu did not answer immediately. He paused for a moment at the center of the group of monkeys, a strong ape that was as tall as an adult's shoulders. He looked at the sixteen-pack abdominal muscles and the palms on the top of his head. The crown surrounded by leaves thought for a while and said: "It has been able to initially use the true energy. Could it be an elf? But you said he has become a spirit... The spirit is not so stupid. How could he come to die?"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu——!"
The strongest monkey king held his head high and spoke condescendingly to Zhang Taichu. He gestured with his hands and pointed in the direction of the valley. He punched the tree trunk again, knocking off some leaves. It looked like In deterrence.
Feng Baobao understood this time, touched his head, and suddenly realized: "What he means is that he doesn't want us to enter the valley. Hey, what a smart wild monkey."
Immediately afterwards, the monkey brother stretched out his hand and gestured towards her again. His face, which was covered with downy hair, suddenly showed some human vulgarity. Then he moved his lower body and assumed an extremely filthy posture, letting out a hehehehe laugh.
Feng Baobao was stunned for a moment, then frowned, and then waved a phantom with both hands.
In the next moment, the two Okamoto zero-point zero-one kitchen knives disappeared from his hands.
