desire reconciliation

Uriah: "What do you think is the reason why the decision makers of this institute are willing to give up so many experimental equipment and materials?"

The two searched for clues in the research institute, and finally found a laboratory with traces of use on the floors closer to the ground, and a large number of data files were left behind.

It seems that the evacuation was carried out urgently, because the documents and materials were scattered on the test bench, and the experimental data in the system did not have time to be destroyed or encrypted.

Lancelot flipped through the documents in his hand, thought for a while, and spoke out along with the speculation process.

"Since the decision-maker is able to make this decision, the loss caused to them by the situation is definitely greater than the cost of evacuating and giving up part of the experiment. Like many experiments, if the project is abandoned or put on hold for a period of time, the project will be restarted." Starting from scratch, many researchers would rather eat, drink and sleep in the laboratory than go home for this reason, and many experimenters even regard the experimental data as more important than their lives."

"This planet is in the giant nebula in no man's land, and its location is not easy to find. It is very unlikely that the Zerg War will spread here. Moreover, the establishment of this research institute is very secretive, and the exposed above-ground part only accounts for the overall Most of the laboratories are hidden deep underground. Even if there is a war or the planet has a harsh living environment due to the movement of stars and galaxies, this research institute can still operate as usual underground. This time the magnetic field disorder is very serious. Good evidence, even mechs can be affected, and this research institute can continue to work, which shows how much effort they put into maintaining the normal operation of the environmental system when designing this building."

Lancelot asked another question as he spoke: "But I think the behavior of the person in charge here is a bit strange."

Uriah answered, "Being decisive but unwilling?"

"Yes, this evacuation seems to be very hasty. It can be seen that the person in charge is a decisive person, but all the devices have not stopped working, which also shows that the decision maker does not really want to abandon this place, and there is still a glimmer of hope that can be done. Restart the experiment."

Uriah seemed to have thought of this question: "It might be the entrusted person in charge, he is just a tool used by the investors to manage this research institution, so let the researchers evacuate, regardless of the cost of the experiment being suspended and restarting, he issued an order people are actually higher-level decision makers, such as investors, they are the

People who really have weight in their words and can influence the fate of this research institution. "

"Thought to go together."

Lancelot dragged his chin with his hands, thinking: "If this is the case, it will be difficult to push it up. The intention of the investor is too difficult to guess. The imperial family said that they have no money, but in fact many of the nobles have money. There is no place to spend too much, maybe such a project is just a matter of pointing fingers, and one day I suddenly think of such a thing in a bad mood and get back the allocated money, and the research institute will be over."

"You seem to know the royal family very well." Uriah said casually.

Lancelot was taken aback, and said unnaturally, "I just heard it."

While looking through the data files left behind, they chatted about a lot of other things, most of which were related to this research institute.

After checking the information of several laboratories in a row, they were nothing more than energy stone research reports and experimental process records. Apart from the few laboratories they had already checked, there were at least [-] similar laboratories on this floor. more than one.

Uriah: "It's not the way to find it like this. Let's change the method and see if there are any other breakthroughs."

The division of labor between the two of them was that one checked the written documents, and the other checked the system terminal. Lancelot quickly browsed the contents of the last folder and shut down the system.

"Shouldn't it be the fastest to start with experimental data in general surveys?" Lancelot asked.

Uriah put down the information in his hand: "You also said that it is the general situation, but under normal circumstances, how can there be so many laboratories in the target area? In general, there is only one or a few laboratories in the target area. The data But it’s all expensive, and the data here is like rotten cabbage that doesn’t cost money, it’s all over the place.”

"Then what do you think?"

Uriah stepped forward to hug him and walked out of the laboratory: "Let's go to the material station."

"Material station?" Lancelot felt uncomfortable being hugged.

Uriah is very natural, he nodded: "Think about it, we have been investigating for so long, there are at least 20 operational laboratories, equipped with at least 100 researchers and logistics personnel, around me a few days ago I've searched them all, and I haven't seen any other buildings. The supplies should be in this research institute. Although I'm not sure what I'll find, but if I'm looking for a breakthrough, the probability of the supplies station appearing is higher than ours. between

Look for a big lab. "

Lancelot thought about it, and what Uriah said was indeed reasonable. After all, the supplies had to be transported from other planets, and it was more likely to be on the upper floors.

The two went up all the way, and Lancelot quickly slipped away from Uriah's arms. Uriah took advantage and continued to investigate clues contentedly.

Going up a few floors, they arrived at the accommodation area. This building is not so much a research institute as it is a well-equipped dungeon. The layout of all the rooms is exactly the same, simple and monotonous, without any superfluous things. After walking for so long They didn't see a single entertainment facility, and there were only the two of them empty in the huge underground system, and the atmosphere was a bit depressing.

It was not difficult for them to find the material supply station. At the top of the building, that floor is the material storage place, and because the identity system reported an error when Lancelot swiped the terminal just now, it seems that all the doors in the entire building The doors here, including the material storage place, were all opened at the same time, and they didn't encounter any obstacles along the way.

The pattern of the material storage place does not have a high ceiling like the military department. The material station here is more like a storage camp in a temporary war zone. Those materials are simply piled up on the shelves in the house. It's still very neat, but if you look carefully, you can find that these materials are stored in an irregular manner, and even the nutrition packs and daily necessities that should not appear in the same partition are placed irregularly on the shelves. put.

"Wow, I'm so hungry."

Lancelot glanced at him: "See, you still plan to live here?"

"It's not impossible to be with you."

Lancelot, who was a tidy freak, frowned at the messy shelves, but he still resisted the urge to rearrange these things, and separated with Uriah and began to check the supplies.

The two started to search from the shelf at the far end, and Type S checked each shelf up and down.

Lancelot slowed down when he checked the deepest shelf in the middle row.

After most of Uriah searched, he joined Lancelot in this column.

"Is there any problem?" Uriah stepped forward and looked at the shelf in front of Lancelot.

The shelves were lined up from top to bottom, including food and nutrition materials, assembly machinery parts, and some non-staple foods. Uriah didn't notice anything wrong.

Lancelot

Putting his hand on his chin, Te looked at the bottom layer and said, "Is there too much non-staple food?"

He pointed to the shelf next to him: "This row of shelves has the other half, and the outermost rows. The bottom layer is full of non-staple food. If you have this capacity and space to transport and store non-staple food, it's better to use more. Nutrients are cost-effective, and such a low-level mistake should not be made on such a remote planet."

According to Lancelot's instructions, Uriah saw rows of boxes of non-staple food on the shelves on both sides of the shelf he checked.

He randomly pulled out a few boxes and opened the outer packaging. Inside those boxes were bottles arranged neatly, and the bottles were filled with some black-green liquid.

Uriah picked up one of them, "Do you know what this thing is for?"

In fact, judging from his appearance, you can tell that he should not know. If he understands the purpose of this thing, his reaction will definitely not be less than that of Uriah.

Uriah: "Although the Zerg eat anything, even steel can be corroded by the strong gastric juice in their stomachs, but if you want to raise Zerg in places other than Zerg Abyss, Zerg culture fluid is essential."

Uriah shook the bottle in his hand: "And this thing is the Zerg culture fluid made from consumables collected from the Zombie Abyss."

Lancelot felt a thump in his heart when he heard this, and he took down a few more boxes from the shelf, and when he opened them, they were all black and green Zerg culture fluid without exception.

There are at least fifty of them in each box, and there are at least two hundred of these identical boxes stored in this material station.One Zerg culture solution can meet the needs of an ordinary Zerg for ten days, so all the Zerg culture fluid in this supply station can at least meet the expenses of a hundred Zergs for three months. Even the largest Zerg research institute in the empire does not have such a dosage .

Lancelot: "Zergs are raised in this research institute?"

The laboratories they inspected were less than one-third, and the remaining two-thirds were just passing by without going in.

But the laboratories they investigated were all researching power stones without exception, and it was such preconceived notions that made their judgments biased.

With so many Zerg culture fluids found in the material supply station, perhaps there really is a laboratory for breeding and researching Zerg somewhere in this research institute.

Uriah went to the system panel to operate on it, and Lancelot also followed: "You want to find the material dispatcher from the data system.

Do you use records? "

Uriah nodded and continued to move his hands, but he couldn't get into the system after several attempts.

Lancelot: "Would you like to try not to scan my terminal again? Since the bugs have been detected just now, maybe we can fight poison with fire?"

After speaking, Lancelot shook his hand towards the scanning interface, and a bunch of "wrong identity authentication" popped up on the same interface as before.

Unfortunately, when those pop-up windows disappear, the interface lock is still not turned on.

Lancelot sighed: "The breakthrough has also been found. Anyway, there are only three floors left. Let's look for each laboratory."

"I remember you brought the Zerg call simulator?" Uriah asked.

"Ah." Lancelot also remembered, "I have never used that thing, and it is a gadget made by their investigation team. It is a toy to relieve boredom. At that time, I saw one on the table and installed it casually. Are you sure you want to use it?"

Uriah took off his bag and opened it, letting Lancelot find it by himself.

He found a whistle-like gadget from the bottom interlayer of his backpack, and he could hear a sharp sound when he put it near his mouth and blew on it.

The sound was harsher than ordinary insects, like the magic sound made by two pieces of metal rubbing against each other.

Lancelot covered his ears and blew a few times, and asked Uriah, "Is the Zerg's voice really like this? Not only are they ugly, but they also have such an ugly voice."

Uriah thought for a moment: "Good question, I don't seem to know what the Zerg is called."

Lancelot stopped bragging, and threw the thing in his hand to play: "Didn't you participate in the Zerg War? You went to kill the Zerg a few days ago, and you don't know what they call it?"

Uriah glanced at him: "Space is a vacuum, how can sound be transmitted without a medium?"

Lancelot: "Yes."

He tossed the little bauble in the air, and Uriah snatched it halfway before he played twice.

"I see that you have a good ability to adapt, and it's all about playing."

"This thing is just too loud."

Uriah confiscated his toys and said, "Then don't blow it. If no one cares about it for so long, maybe those little bugs would have died long ago."

Unexpectedly, Uriah's joke came true, and they quickly found many Zerg corpses in this research institute.
