Chapter 323 Mysterious murals
At [-]:[-] p.m., in the meeting room of the Mulan.

Eleven small video windows were arranged neatly in front of Admiral Rong, and he solemnly reported his discovery on Earth.

"A search and rescue team found a suspected human base deep in a certain cave. The following are the photos they sent back." He projected the photos taken by the search and rescue team in the air, and the Queen and others were surprised.

The environment in the photo is dark, the dark gray walls are made of alloy, and the height is equal to one floor.The metal door is full of English letters and black pipes, giving them a heavy sense of depression.

The access control is a password lock, and the keyboard is full of English alphabet keys.

"Because of the major discovery, I can't easily decide whether to retreat or explore the human base, so I held a temporary meeting to ask for instructions." Admiral Rong's eyes were deep, and his heart was inclined to retreat.

The seven members of the political group all looked at the queen, while the three marshals advocated retreating because the risk factors involved were too great.

But Nolan, who monitors the market economy, disagrees. "We spend huge sums of money on Earth for research. This opportunity is probably once in ten years, or even more than ten years. It would be a waste of a good opportunity to retreat like this."

The gloomy expressions of the three marshals were fleeting.

The queen looked at Dr. Chen and asked if it was necessary to enter the base.

Under the pressure of everyone's attention, Dr. Chen pondered for a while before answering: "I will compromise everyone's opinion. I don't think it is necessary to go deep into the base. Ask the soldiers to search briefly and retreat immediately if they find nothing. What do you think?"

Admiral Rong still insisted on retreating, Dr. Chen's expression was a little uneasy.

In the end, the queen spoke and followed Dr. Chen's suggestion to search the base.

On the other side, Ri, who received the order, began to study the combination lock of the metal door.The buttons are all in English, no clue.Li Tiancheng is most afraid of this kind of password that requires deep thinking, "Let's destroy it directly, it will take too much time to try each key."

"Wait," Ye Ming said urgently when he heard Li Tiancheng's words, "We don't know if this kind of base has anti-riot devices installed. Forcible destruction may block the base, making it more difficult to enter."

"Then let's try the keys one by one."

"I have a way. I don't need to guess letter by letter." She took out the tool bag from her backpack and used a screwdriver to unscrew the keyboard.Li Tiancheng looked surprised, and was stopped by Li when he wanted to ask her what she was going to do.

This coded metal door is similar to the ones in her previous base, and it can be opened with a little manipulation of the circuit.She found a backup power source and activated it, then changed the resistance of a variable resistor in the circuit, tricking the system into a short and causing it to restart automatically.

Soon, the metal door swung open.

While adjusting the resistance value back to the original value, Ye Ming urged: "Go in quickly, the system restarts in only 30 seconds, and the door will close again soon."

Hearing this, Li Tiancheng led the team through the metal gate, and the infrared flying ball flew in after them.

After Ye Ming adjusted the resistance value, he realized that Li was waiting for him.The metal door closed slowly, Li dragged her through the door.

The metal door was completely closed, and they were in a place where they couldn't see their fingers, creating the illusion that they were the only one around.Only a little red light from the flying ball reflected, making everyone's faces dark red.

"Is everyone here? Lieutenant Colonel Yun?" Li Tiancheng's voice was inexplicably reassuring.

"Yes." Then Li named five people and turned on the flashlights.

Five beams of white light dangled back and forth, and Ye Ming noticed that there was no combination lock on the side of the metal door, and there was no door opening device. "Too bad, this kind of metal door needs to be opened in the monitoring room, and the door cannot be opened directly."

They were shocked when they heard this, and two beams of white light shone on the metal door.Sure enough, they didn't see any device on the door, it was bare.

"Let's go to the monitoring room first. There seems to be a door next to it—"

The beam moved to the side of Li, and there was indeed a metal hatch.There is a round metal hand wheel on the door, Li tried to turn it but it couldn't turn it, probably it needs to be electrified.

And they are in a spacious metal corridor, the metal walls on both sides are like a lattice, and the dark end does not know where it leads.

"Let's turn on the switch, otherwise we won't be able to open the door when we get to the monitoring room."

They groped around, feeling every metal box that looked like a switch.Ye Ming went back to the gate to look for it, usually the switch was installed near the gate.

She looked around with her night vision ability, took off her gloves and touched the metal wall.Suddenly she felt a thin crack and knew it was a hidden compartment, so she used a screwdriver to dig out the metal cover.

"I found it, the switch is here." She called out and attracted others.The flashlight hit the switch with a lot of push buttons, and they froze for a moment.

The labels on the push buttons are all in English, why doesn’t Mulan Star require to learn English?
"I have downloaded the translation app, let me take a look." Zhang Xiong leaned over and looked elated. Translation software translates professional terms most accurately.

He pushed up one after another, the sound of the power starting broke the silence, and everyone guarded in all directions.

In an instant, the incandescent lamps were lit above their heads, and the white flowers in front of them were very dazzling. It took them a few seconds to get used to the environment in front of them.

Light blue lights lit up on both sides of the dark gray metal aisle, making the feeling of coldness more intense.The metal walls and ceiling on both sides are in the form of a grid, and are also covered with many black pipes. They don't understand the purpose of this design.

The floor is like a mirror, which can reflect their group.

Li turned the metal handwheel on the side of the aisle, and as soon as he turned it, a slight intelligent control sound sounded, and the hatch opened in an instant.In order to make the camera clear, they turned on the lights in the room.

"Is this a warehouse?"

No one complained about Baldy Liu's ancient prose, and everyone was happy for him to relieve the tense atmosphere.

The room was rectangular, long and full of shelves.They flipped through the plastic boxes on the rack, some containing medicines, some edible canned or bottled Watsons distilled water, some soil, and so on.

This is indeed a warehouse.

"Why are there black metal pipes on the wall, it looks disgusting and depressing." Zhang Xiong's scalp was numb.

"Maybe the designer's aesthetic preference is Gothic." Other soldiers joked.

"Don't worry about chatting, be careful." Li Tiancheng reminded them across the shelf.

A certain soldier looked at the distilled water and sighed: "Is the distilled water that has been kept for a century still drinkable? I really want to take some back to the camp."

Li knocked on his hood, "Distilled water can be stored for up to 20 days, and these are expired. We will go out after a round, and nothing can be taken away."

They walked along the racks to the end of the warehouse, where the metal wall gave them the creeps.

The wall is still covered with black pipes, varying in thickness, and they are bent enough to form a mechanical painting.The black iron block surrounding it is vaguely human-shaped, and the pipes seem to branch out from its body.

"What's that? Postmodern murals?"
