There were so many records here that Lu Ning couldn't read them all despite her browsing speed. She also remembered that she couldn't spend too much time here. She estimated that it would take about ten minutes before she stood up and returned the computer. Desktop, I plan to leave for a while and then come back.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she got up, she found someone standing behind her. He has thick dark circles under his eyes and disheveled hair, but he is the only one here who is not wearing a mask. This man's eyes were staring straight at Lu Ning. Although he was lifeless, it made Lu Ning feel bad.
"Come with me." He spoke. With such a special person here, Lu Ning obviously had no room to refuse. She tightened her grip on the scissors in her sleeves, followed the man away from the three circles of tables without looking in Yan Zidan's direction.
The direction was a passage at the other end of the gymnasium. After Lu Ning walked in, he found that several other researchers in white robes had gathered here. These people all looked a little uneasy. The black eye brought Lu Ning over and nodded to everyone. Nodding: "Let's get started."
It seemed... not because he recognized Lu Ning as someone who had sneaked in, but because they needed to do something together.
After exiting the passage through another door, you left the gymnasium, crossed a road, and opposite was a swimming pool. There are no researchers in white robes here, but some people in guard uniforms standing here, wearing white masks with only the eyes left on their faces. Seeing the dark circles under his eyes, everyone bowed slightly to him, showing their respect.
After passing through the changing room of the swimming pool, everyone came to the swimming pool inside. The smell of the disinfected water was still the same as usual, but the color of the water was a strange lavender color, which was extremely conspicuous under the lights in the museum.
"There is no pungent smell." A man in white robe with an old and solemn voice spoke, "Mr. Shi, there doesn't seem to be anything unusual about the swimming pool project, right?"
"Sorry, I can't remember you...who are you?"
"Haha, Mr. Shi, I've just been lucky enough to participate in a few experiments before and have some experience."
"Having experience...that's good."
Then this person should be Shi Qizhi, the team leader of Huanshi Mountain. He seemed a little dazed, but Lu Ning, who had seen the map, did not dare to underestimate this person.
"There was an accident in the experiment, so I selected some people who are not so busy to come over... Which of you will go down?" Shi Qizhi said flatly.
As soon as these words came out, everyone started to look at each other. Go down? There was something wrong with the water in the swimming pool. Shi Qizhi actually wanted them to get in?
"Mr. Shi, we are researchers here..." The man in white robe spoke again, "We are different from the people used in experiments, right? Just find a few uninformed people for this kind of thing..."
"How do you know what we want if you don't know?" Shi Qizhi interrupted, "Only the researchers know, and only you can send back the information we need even when you die."
"how……"
"Anyway, you don't have much to do, so you can just play your role. We decided on this very early, and you agreed when we joined." Shi Qizhi waved his hand and called a few guards over, "Let's go first Go down and put the analytical instrument on him."
I guess this researcher never thought that he would be the first one to get close to him like this. He started shouting in a panic, but the guards were far more powerful than him. The remaining researchers were trembling, but there were many guards watching from behind. There is no way to escape from the gate.
They forcibly put a device like VR glasses on the researcher's head, checked it carefully, then grabbed his limbs, lifted him up and threw him into the swimming pool.
The screams were quickly drowned out by the sound of falling into the water. Lu Ning and the others stared at the water. Only some bubbles appeared in the purple water, and then there was no movement at all. The researcher didn't float at all, and through the water that could still be seen clearly, he couldn't see where he was.
"Well..." Another person spoke, "Mr. Shi, Shi, I have no objection to exploration, but I have not participated in this project. Can you at least tell us what it is doing? Otherwise, we won't even go down. Know what to do..."
A tactful way? It can be considered as a means, but Shi Qizhi...
"It is part of our project, the means to open the world. The ceremony here has been completed, but the results we expected did not occur. Therefore, the world should have been opened now, but there is no way to effectively detect it. This is a passage, I need you to collect channel stability data.”
He really gave a very thoughtful answer.
"The detection of unstable channels is usually based on the accumulation of human lives." Another young researcher said, "Mr. Shi, we are indeed willing to use our lives to complete the development, but if our lives can play a better role, maybe Don’t you have to waste it here?”
"Tell me about it." Shi Qizhi's tone remained calm.
"In some of the projects I have participated in, due to considerations of global risks, especially from microbial problems, dispatched persons are generally not allowed to return. Even if they are allowed, they must undergo strict disinfection. And look What you did just now skipped the disinfection process, which means you didn’t intend to let people from the past come back this time, right?" The researcher began to talk.
Shi Qizhi nodded slightly.
"In this case, I think we are even less suitable candidates. Mr. Shi, as you said, we are people who know a little bit about the situation. If we have any resentment in our hearts and want to not cooperate, it will also cause harm to the project. Not a small difficulty, right? The fundamental requirement of this experiment is to stabilize the channel, understand the situation, and obtain data. Since it has attracted so much attention from you, there must be something unique about it. I think the best way is to find some people first , just tell any lie to get them to cooperate with the experiment, and we will adjust ourselves by observing the data fed back by these people, and then let us researchers go there. This is safe and does not waste the knowledge in our minds. Isn’t it?”
"The data has been obtained."
"As expected...what did you say?" The researcher was stunned for a moment.
"Since you need data, I will let you take a look at the data. After reading it, you are ready to go." Shi Qizhi raised his hand, and someone gave him a laptop. After opening it, he typed on the keyboard for a while. , then turned the computer around and placed it on a small table by the pool. "Everyone, come and take a look. If you can use the data to provide yourself with some protection, I have no objection."
The corner of the researcher's mouth twitched, and the others looked at him as if they were a fool. What was the last idea he came up with? In front of him is Shi Qizhi, the general person in charge of the project. All relevant processes will pass through his hands. Is there anything he can think of that he can't think of?
But it has become like this, and there is no other way. They have to get in front of the computer and think about other ways to survive.
After all, even if they do bad things, this group of people still want to be in the position of perpetrators rather than victims. There are very few people who can say such high-sounding words as Lin Yuan. In order to survive, these researchers must have tried their best to find out some tricks from the data.
Lu Ning pretended to look at the data, but how could she understand it clearly? On the other hand, the way those people around me muttered something in low voices made people feel a little upset.
"Everyone, I say, everyone. It's already this time. If you find anything, please share it. We don't... don't have that much time. Mr. Shi's patience may not be exhausted anytime." Someone whispered. spoke.
"What do you think we should do?" A woman said angrily, "This pile of data has very few things in common. It's not like we didn't make charts. You can see the confidence level yourself. How does this thing work? No wonder we need to find a specialized researcher, isn't it? Don’t ordinary people give back useful data?”
"Where is this project going? I was still doing chemical analysis in the group before. Why has everything changed now that I'm here?"
"Who knows, the biological samples over there are still in progress. I just went out to touch a fish and got caught."
A group of researchers chatted for a few words and then turned to the discussion of data. However, they are originally from different groups and have different knowledge levels. Shi Qizhi must have analyzed these data before by a professional group of members. If those people can't analyze it, what is the use of these temporary looks?
Shi Qizhi gave everyone nearly half an hour before speaking again: "Have you seen most of the data?"
"Yes...but..."
"Okay, the next one is the one I just suggested. I hope you can give me some useful feedback."
Plop.
Among the group of people, only Lu Ning had the most relaxed attitude. She continued to follow the others to look at the data. Although from the smell, it seemed that some people were so scared that they wet their pants, but this can be regarded as evil people getting their own way.
The discussion still had no results, and Shi Qizhi was even kind enough to update them with the data collected by the two people who had thrown it away before, but it usually took a group of people to process it for an hour or two to form a data perspective. As for charts and graphs, even if these people try their best to cooperate, they cannot transform useful information in time.
Two more people were thrown down, and there were still six people left.
No one said anything else. Everyone was looking at the computer with sweating profusely. Occasionally, someone would go up and type the keyboard to adjust, but if it didn’t work, he would be scolded and cursed by others immediately. Lu Ning squinted her eyes slowly. Understand that although she doesn't know how to organize data, she still understands a little bit about what the data here is telling her after listening to the results.
It is roughly the similarity, coordinate position and symmetry between worlds, but it is necessary to filter out all influencing factors from the data returned by the individual. At the same time, the disturbance that an individual can cause to the entire world is minimal, so the base number of influencing factors is very large. At a ratio of close to 90%, identifying and screening these factors is an extremely difficult task.
Lu Ning doesn’t know how to do it anyway.
"Next one." Shi Qizhi's urging voice sounded again. Several security guards came over, and this time they all waited in tacit understanding, as if to let them decide who to let out. At this moment, a person pointed at Lu Ning and said, "Just her, she has never contributed much, and she didn't say anything in the discussion."
"There's nothing much to say. Everything that should be there is already there, and we can't do what's not there." Lu Ning shrugged nonchalantly, "But that's fine, I hope you can figure it out. I'll be the next one. "
She took the initiative and Shi Qizhi nodded slightly. The security guard didn't force her, he just took the collection device and handed it to Lu Ning. After putting it on, she found that she could see things from inside, but the "VR glasses" looked completely black from the outside.
"Debug it...Okay." Lu Ning touched around the device. There were no buttons or anything like that she could control, so she just adjusted the position of her eyes slightly to make herself a little more comfortable, and then walked over. On the edge of the swimming pool, look at the purple water. Some readings began to appear in the field of vision, which really looked like a VR game. Lu Ning waved her hands to the people behind her, took a deep breath, and jumped out of the swimming pool.
She is now very familiar with the skill of swimming. After falling into the water, she opened her hands and feet and began to feel the buoyancy. There was lavender water in his field of vision, but it looked very bright. There was nothing else. Lu Ning moved his hands and feet, but there was no moist feeling of water on his body. Instead, he felt as if he was wrapped in warmth and cotton. The swimming method is still applicable in this wonderful water. She paddled forward a few times, then followed the buoyancy upward, but suddenly found that the water surface had disappeared.
No wonder those few people didn't come up after going down.
After thinking for a while, Lu Ning made a bold attempt. She exhaled the air in her lungs, and then began to inhale——
After a brief burning sensation came from her throat and trachea, she felt that her lungs had been surrounded by a warm feeling. She didn't even need to continue breathing. As long as the purple "water" filled her body, there would be oxygen supply. .
Okay, now that the breathing problem is solved, the first step in survival can be considered completed. The people who came down must not have drowned, but where did they go without any news now? Where does the world opened up by this Huanshishan project lead to?
Lu Ning turned her body in the water. The purple water was not like normal water. The deeper it went, the darker it became. It was lavender everywhere. The optical effect did not seem to exist here, but it was not other than water. There is nothing outside. Some slightly darker dots are the most obvious marks here. Apart from these, there seems to be nothing else to check.
It didn't take much time to swim there. After about fifteen minutes, Lu Ning came to the nearest dark spot - of course, it was already a big rock after getting close. It was similar to the stone surrounded by three circles of tables that Lu Ning had seen before. Its appearance was just a jagged stone. There was nothing unique about it when you walked up, down, left, and right.
It seems that the stone was salvaged from here? So...is there anything weird?
Lu Ning stretched out her finger and poked the surface, and then she understood why this stone was studied in such detail. A strong pulling force spread along her fingertips to her whole body, and then pulled her whole body into the stone.
