Crane's Ark of Tomorrow Daily

But Luo Er wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Skadi.

"Are you finished? What should we do now? Should we move on? Or return to the surface?"

"Let's go to the hub floor. There may be other roads leading to the lower floor there." Grani decisively pressed the [Hub Floor] button on the control panel, "Li Ke is now alone in the core floor, we should talk to him as soon as possible. He's right to join."

Grani doesn't believe that only the central elevator shaft of the entire institute can reach the deepest core layer. What if the elevator shaft breaks down?Therefore, between each floor, there must be hidden passages for emergencies.

However, when she pressed the button, the bright red warning box popped up again.

"Damn, and lack of authority?" Grani punched the control panel angrily, "Could it be going to the living area? But that's too far away..."

If you enter from the hub layer, you only need to pass through the experimental layer to reach the core layer.But if you start from the residential level, you don't know how much time you will waste.By the time they reach the core layer, the daylilies are probably already cold.

"Let me try." Skadi frowned slightly, stepped forward and pressed the button of the [Hub Layer].

The warning window disappears.

It was just a little unexpected that Skadi just pressed the button one second before, and the elevator door opened a second later, revealing the dark space outside.

"Eh? So fast? Has it arrived yet? But it's so dark..." Grani glanced outside in surprise, then found a lighting tool from his pocket, and fixed it on the brim of his hat superior.

"It's not too late, let's go quickly."

"Wait, something's wrong." Just before Grani was about to step out of the elevator, Skadi stopped her, and she looked solemnly at the dark space outside, "Listen, there seems to be some noise .”

Faintly, there seemed to be the sound of something rubbing and wriggling coming from the darkness.

Skadi's words seemed to have stimulated the existence in the darkness. There was a sharp piercing sound, and something slapped heavily on the elevator, but it was blocked by the impenetrable barrier on the elevator door.

Skadi looked forward in astonishment.

A weird tentacle that is unclear whether it is made of machinery or flesh and blood is slowly sliding down from the light wall. The most striking thing is that there are a large number of black origin stone crystals inlaid on that tentacle.

"Why are you here!?" With the light from his halo, Li Ke walked forward in this place similar to a computer room.

Beside him, there are a large number of unknown devices. The red, yellow, and green light spots seen before are all emitted from these devices.Among them, the constant red dots account for the vast majority, and only a small number of devices are flashing green.

Among these devices, Li Ke found a computer similar to what he saw at the front desk.

With the operation experience last time, the action of leaving this time was much faster, and he called up the current state of the entire research institute with ease.

To be honest, the situation is not very good.

Most of the hub layer was destroyed, and only one intact area remained on the experimental layer.As the core layer with the highest protection level of the research institute, it was also severely damaged and lost most of the control authority over the research institute. Right now, his position is already the only remaining computer room.

Because of the authority, Li Ke's process of reading the data was quite smooth.He couldn't help but wonder, how did other people in the world of Terra dig the ruins?Without permission, how did they obtain information from the ruins?Brute force?Not too possible.There must be other methods, but Li Ke doesn't know it.

After learning about the general status of the research institute, Li Ke found the current system log and found that the current date is UC2714, and in the nearly two thousand years of history, the system has no access records.

The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in the ant's nest. During this long period of time, there was a problem with the automatic repair of the research institute.A small flaw in the design is infinitely magnified by time. If the repair system can operate normally, or someone with authority can actively activate the system, this flaw is not considered a flaw.

It's just a pity that no one has been active here for at least two thousand years.The first is the residential layer that covers the largest area and is close to the crust, then the experimental layer, and finally the core layer.The smallest reception floor and the hub floor in the middle escaped a catastrophe, and most of the areas survived the erosion of time.

"UC2174...is not a calendar I am familiar with." Li Ke remembered that when he lost consciousness, it was AD2019.If the calendar was changed, he would not be able to deduce how long he had "traversed".

Pulling the system log to the forefront, Li Ke found such a comment after the words that the system started successfully.

[UC0079, congratulations on the completion of the No. 134 research institute, which will be the strongest and the last biotechnology research institute in the federation.Haha, since we exist, there is no need for other biological research institutes, of course it is the last one! 】

In addition, there are a large number of running logs, and the closer to the end of the log, the more red warnings there are.A large number of red lights in the computer room indicate that the servers here are almost exhausted, and only a small number of servers can continue to operate.

It is quite rare to be able to maintain normal operation for such a long time, and Li Ke can't ask for more.

Fortunately, a large number of research logs have been preserved, and there is no doubt that these are all very valuable materials.Unfortunately, Li Ke couldn't understand what these research logs were talking about as if he was reading a bible... He could understand every word, but when they were connected together, he couldn't understand what it meant.

Helpless, Li Ke could only quickly skip over the places he couldn't understand, looking for things he could understand.

After skipping a lot of things of unknown meaning, a diary...or a diary entered Li Ke's field of vision.

【UC0094.11.7, Saturday, a day of doing nothing. 】

[Today, a strange sample was sent over. It looked like a black translucent crystal the size of a fingernail was sealed in a transparent container.It's a bit like obsidian, but the transparency is much higher than obsidian, and it looks quite beautiful.I wanted to ask my father what it was, but before I could say a few words, he scolded me out of the face... Who did I provoke, I was still chatting about homework just a moment ago...]

[However, what is that thing?Isn't this the Institute of Biology?Why send a stone over here?And... Dad looked nervous. 】

Li Ke's eyes were fixed, and the black translucent crystal undoubtedly referred to the origin stone.Moreover, the meaning of this diary is that its owner does not know the origin stone.

In other words...the origin stone appeared for the first time at that time...

Li Ke immediately searched the information of the owner of this diary in the system, but this search surprised him.

The owner of the diary has a frighteningly high level of authority, and he has the highest level of authority just like him.This also means that Li Ke can only view the public records left by the owner of the diary, not his private information.Fortunately, the permission level of these diary settings is not high, and Li Ke can view them completely.

Only a few people can have the sixth level of authority.He quickly flipped through the diary in front of this person, and only then did he have a general impression of this person.

This person's ID in the records only has the letter K, so let's call him K for now.

After the establishment of this institute, K's father became the director of the institute, that is, the first person to leave a record in the system log.

Because of work, K's father neglected to communicate with his family, and had a lot of conflicts with his son.However, the relationship between the two eased after K became an adult, and even at his father's suggestion, K also entered the institute to work.

[UC0094.11.12, Thursday, something strange happened. 】

【This night, my father took the initiative to find me. His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like he hadn't rested for a long time.The last time I saw him was five days ago. He must not have had a rest during this time, right? 】

[I asked this question, but he just brushed it off casually.In addition, my father also mysteriously gave me a set of small protective devices, and told me to keep them with me all the time... Isn't this kind of thing only used when going to space?What are you doing wearing this in the lab? 】

[Moreover, the old man also said that he used his authority and gave me a half-month vacation, saying that if there is nothing to do, don't run around, and stay in the room honestly. 】
