In front of Leo, the seemingly familiar metal jars are neatly staggered and divided into three layers from the bottom to the top. Although each layer is separated by a thick metal mesh, the mesh-like gap It is still possible for people on each floor to see the upper and lower floors.
The reason why Leo said that the scene here is very familiar, mainly because the biochemical workshops that produced him were like rows of incubation cabins like now, and everything in front of them is like the biochemical man's manufacturing space in the steam era. Aroused many of his bad memories.
"Your task is very simple. You usually stay here. If someone knocks on the door, go to see who is coming. Compare the access table on the door. Let the people with records on the access table let them in. Those without records. Don’t let them in.
The optician led Leo to a small room next to the door, pointed to a form hanging on the door, and then pointed to a mechanical watch next to him, saying:
If the mechanical watch starts to report time, you need to go out and check. You are mainly responsible for the container on the first floor, mainly to see if the container is damaged. Once the damage is found, immediately pull the lever next to the container. Do you understand your responsibility now?"
"I see." Leo nodded.
The doctor took off his glasses, wiped them, and said, "If you have any questions, I can ask them now. I can answer them. After that, I will go to the experiment and I won't care about these things anymore."
"Am I only responsible for this layer? Where is the top?" Leo asked.
The doctor said clearly: "You are only responsible for this level, there are other people responsible for it, and you cannot go up. If you go up, the consequences will be the same as if you violated the strictest prohibition rules in your department."
Leo asked: "What if something goes on?"
The doctor said very seriously: "Even if something goes wrong or even destroyed, you can't go up."
Leo asked again: "Do I have to stay here all the time? When is the rest time?"
"You will be checked about three times a day, and someone will take over your work at that time. At that time, you can go back to your room and rest." When the doctor said this, he paused again and said, "I don't know if your department will hand this task over Did you make the situation clear from your time? From today on, for the next ten years, you must stay here and not leave. After ten years, the empire will grant you the corresponding noble seats according to your work situation."
Hearing what the doctor said, Leo was a little bit stunned, not because he was harsh because he had to stay in this place for ten years, but because he would be granted a seat of nobility after the end of the work. The value of seats can be said to be extraordinary, not to mention ten years, even if it is twenty years, I am afraid that some people will be willing.
It's just that since the empire has created such excellent conditions, it means that this kind of task is very dangerous, and it may lose its life at any time, otherwise, it will definitely flood the nobility in the future.
The doctor apparently didn’t think too much and went on to say:
But you don’t have to worry about being bored here. There are many magical things that can’t be seen outside in a few hundred years. You will see and even experience it in the future. It’s your luck to be here, cherish it!"
Leo turned to look at the guard cell and asked, "What about my weapon? Should there be a sudden, should I have a weapon to use?"
"That's right! I forgot your weapon." The doctor said something, walked into the room, and then gestured Leo to point to a button on the wall, saying: "This is the switch button of the weapon rack, you just need to press a bit……"
Talking, the doctor reached out and pressed the button. He heard a mechanical sound coming from the surrounding wall, and then the metal plate on one side of the wall quickly lifted up. A weapon rack full of various weapons appeared in the mine. In front of Europe.
Between this weapon rack is not so much a practical weapon rack, it is rather an ancient and modern cold weapon display cabinet. I saw that the weapons in the dark grid of the wall are all cold weapons. Even the practical flail of the early church knights is also among them. The only thing that can be The only long-range weapon is a military crossbow, and it is also a single-shot mechanical crossbow.
The doctor pointed to the weapon rack and said: "You can use these weapons, try slowly, you will have time to adapt to these weapons." Then, he retreated to the room and said: "If you have anything in the future Questions, you can shake the bell next to you, and someone special will solve the problem for you. However, if it is not a particularly important problem, don’t move that thing. After all, the people here are very busy.
Having said that, before waiting for Leo’s response to be no problem, he turned around and walked quickly towards the laboratory, and soon the figure disappeared into the rows of jars.
Obviously, he felt that it was a bit unreasonable to use this cold weapon for the guards here, and he also felt that Leo would be irritated. In order to avoid becoming the object of the other party's anger, he would leave quickly.
However, he did not know that Leo did not think that these cold weapons were useless. In fact, the people selected and assigned to be guards here were all mutants with different physical strength from ordinary people. For these people Say, in case of any accident, cold weapons may be more convenient than weapons like steam crossbows.
Leo walked to the weapon rack, picked up a tomahawk of the early mountain warrior of the Kingdom of Marais and waved it twice, and found that the workmanship of this tomahawk was very delicate. The use of some special metals makes the tomahawk a lot lighter while maintaining its sharpness.
However, this also proves that the person who made this battle axe is obviously not a true cold weapon forge, because the power of the battle axe is reflected in the weight. When using it, the weight of the battle axe itself drives the user's body to make various The rapid attack, but now the weight is reduced, and the power of the battle axe is naturally greatly reduced. Instead of using this battle axe, it is better to use a long straight sword that is sharper and swings faster.
Leo picked a few more weapons and found that all the weapons were the same. Although the workmanship was exquisite and the materials used were real, details such as the weight of the weapon and the length of the handle were contrary to how the weapon itself was used.
After putting the weapon back on the shelf, Leo did not hide the weapon shelf in the dark compartment, but let it hang on the wall in public, then walked to the desk in the room and sat down, picked up a document at the desk. Read it up.
These data are not important test data, but some records of the work of the previous guards. The content is very simple, such as when the new jar was delivered, when the existing jar was sent away, when was the person received, etc. It is not difficult to see from these contents how dull it is to do things here, and the former guard obviously does not know what is inside these jars.
In the last of these records, the last record is not complete. It should be what happened halfway through the writing. He left to check, and then never came back to finish writing this record.
However, several records before this record provided a little information, for example, he heard sounds from some jars, and some jars were shaking, but the location of these jars was not his responsibility. This layer is at the top.
At this time, the mechanical clock on the wall suddenly rang, Leo saw this, and he picked up a knight sword made of the most standard from the weapon rack on the wall, hung it on his waist, and then walked out of the room and reached that piece. Inside the iron jar.
Although these iron cans have the same shape, they are large and small. The large iron pipes are almost two or three people tall, almost close to the top of this floor, but the small ones are particularly small, only half the height.
Leo deliberately pretended to check the jar as he walked past some jars, and inadvertently tapped the jar to record it, and checked the situation inside the jar through the vibration feedback of the power of blood.
As he felt before, these jars are all modulation tanks, filled with liquid, and some violent mutations in the body have been completely dehumanized. All the mutants have been placed in these jars, and some of these mutants are still Alive, but some are dead. And those dead mutants are being dissolved by liquid.
It is conceivable that when these mutants' bodies are completely dissolved, these dissolved liquids will be turned into new modulation liquids and reused.
The area of this laboratory is very large. It is roughly estimated that there are more than 700 such iron cans stored on the first floor. Counting the number of iron cans above, there should be more than 1,000 iron cans in the entire laboratory.
Although Leo did not examine it carefully, he can tell from the physical qualities of those mutants who are still alive. None of these mutants are naturally formed mutants, nor are they made by alien cells, but another. This artificially made mutant is just like Colin.
However, from various indications, this manufacturing method is not very successful, and uncontrollable should be its biggest defect, but if the tide of variation in Miria City is what this method does, then this method To some extent, it is considered successful.
Leo's inspection speed is not fast, but the time it takes is not long. It takes about tens of minutes to come down. After checking the iron cans, he deliberately walked past the row of experimental rooms on this floor.
Although these experimental rooms are made of stone and the roof is covered, the floor is still a metal floor, which does not hinder the vibration feedback of the power of blood.
When Leo came down in a circle, he had a general understanding of the situation in this layer of laboratory.
I have to say that he was a little surprised by the experiment being carried out here.
When I originally saw the man wearing glasses dressed as a doctor, and the iron cans filled with special liquids around him, Leo felt that these people should be tested with some kind of medical technology, but after some exploration just now, he It was found that it was not the same thing at all. What the experimenters were doing was actually using the alchemy of the wizard to extract the special substances in some special mutant organs of these mutants.
At first glance, this is somewhat similar to medical refinement, but in fact the two are very different. One refinement is through equipment and rigorous science, and the other is through that unknown force.
Those who work in the room for refining work are not wizards, not even wizard apprentices, but they can push the Turing roots on the refining tools.
Through vibration feedback, Leo can easily obtain the information of the Turing roots on those tools. The content is not complicated. It is a Turing root superimposed by three basic roots. Its single function is to extract.
According to Leo’s knowledge from the wizard’s notes, this Turing root used to extract a certain substance is not a rarity. Early high tower wizards will take in many vassal villages, and they will choose some of those villages. When people are trained, talented people will become wizard apprentices, and those without qualifications will become the lowest-level helpers.
The main work of these helpers is to extract the parts containing the mysterious power from the collected materials. Later, these helpers became the earliest pharmacists on the Weilun mainland, and with the emergence of herbal medicine and pharmacy And the easier preparation process of pharmacy has gradually replaced this unpredictable method of herbal extraction. Eventually this method of extraction from the wizard has gradually disappeared~EbookFREE.me~ Now see this method reappear and be It does not surprise Leo. In fact, countries with some capabilities can find this complete set of refined Turing roots. What really surprised him is that the power to promote Turing roots is not an extraordinary power. , But the power that is now emerging in the Velon world.
These electricity is not directly injected into the Turing root, but is introduced into a sealed box through the wire, and then through the transformation of the box, another short-range energy wave is formed, which continuously emanates toward the Turing root Radiation eventually made Turing roots work.
Those dressed up by doctors mainly control the intensity of the current introduced into the box through the change of light on the Turing root to control the current intensity introduced into the box, and then extract the desired substance.
However, in Leo's view, this approach is completely a matter of luck. It is very good to be able to successfully extract one out of a hundred times.
The most curious thing about Leo is actually the sealed box, because the metal plate of the Luo Luoxing star used around the sealed box has a blocking effect on the power of blood and also blocks the vibration, making him unable to discover the secret in the box. .
Although Leo was curious about the secret of energy conversion in the box, he was not in a hurry because he still had enough time to explore the secret inside.
After returning to the small room, he picked up a piece of information and looked it up again. These materials are not important materials. They are the duty notes left by the former guards. The content is almost the same. Only a few parts will mention some Special circumstances, and through these contents, he can also understand the situation here faster.
