Outside the elevator exit is an open hall, just like the secret base in a science fiction movie, Spy Island is a small coral island, with an area of only more than 500 square meters, and even the military facilities on it are only 3,000 square meters, and here it looks like the size of two football fields All kinds of complex instruments are operating, and scientific researchers in white coats are shuttling through it, and the entire secret base is like a huge and sophisticated instrument, operating in an orderly manner.
"Great project" Smith couldn't help but admire, looked sideways at Nelson and said, "We're under the water now" Nelson walked over to a prototype window and gently pulled open the compartment that looked like an airplane porthole, leaving it pitch black outside.
"You can come and see for yourself."
Nelson smiled incomprehensibly, gesturing to the circular windows on the wall.
Smith leaned over the porthole and looked out, but he couldn't see anything, but it seemed that there was sea water outside.
Suddenly, a strange fish that looked like a squid slammed into the porthole, apparently with no intention of hitting the hard alloy cabin, but just touched it lightly, turned around and swam away.
Looking at the strangely shaped squid with a pair of large fins in front of him, Smith was very surprised and couldn't help but exclaim, "Vampire squid" The fish only inhabits at depths below 548 meters on the ocean floor, which is apparently at least 500 meters deep.
"Please follow me."
Nelson said to Smith: "There are a lot of forbidden areas here, of course, it's not restricted by a 5A license like yours, it's that some places are too dangerous."
Following Nelson, the two walked through the hall to a small door at the end.
The busy researchers did not seem to be much interested in the arrival of the two of them, but buried themselves in the work in their hands.
Smith couldn't help but ask, "Aren't there any guards here?"
Nelson smiled mysteriously: "There is a company of 6 Squad soldiers on it, armed to the teeth, and the Vulcan defense system, I don't think there will be any trouble."
Well, I'm not responsible for security here, but I'm sure Dr.
Haynes has his own bodyguards. ” The two walked to the small door, Nelson scanned his fingerprints, scanned his retina, and then pressed the call button, and the video call system turned on.
On the small screen, an old man with gray hair turned around in a wide leather swivel chair, and a crumpled old face appeared on the screen.
"Hi" he made an American wave very fashionably, and said with a smile: "My dear Nelson, what wind blew you down into my iron coffin" "There's a commissioner from the CIA named Mr.
Smith, and he wants to see you."
The old man didn't seem surprised, nodded and said, "Okay, you bring him to see me." ” The screen went black, and the old man disappeared into the screen.
A flash of brilliance flashed in Smith's eyes, and the old man in front of him made him a little excited.
Immediately after, a sharp spike appeared on the console under the screen, and Nelson stretched out his thumb and pressed on it, and with a small "snort", he withdrew his hand, and a tiny red dot appeared on the skin of his thumb.
Apparently this is a DNA detection instrument, and the security system here is not much better than that of the Pentagon and Langley headquarters.
Nelson smiled meaningfully at Smith, "Although you are a distinguished guest, this is the rule, please." ” Smith didn't hesitate, and the gourd also stretched out his thumb and took a hit on the spike, contributing a little blood.
Soon, the small door in front of him opened with a thud, and when he entered, the door closed behind him.
Nelson suddenly looked cynical and serious: "After the blood test, we are our own people." ” He suddenly stood upright like a military salute, put his right hand into a fist on his left chest, and shouted in a high-pitched voice: "Long live Atlantis" Smith did the same, and the two of them were as solemn as soldiers on a military parade.
"Long live Atlantis" Then, Nelson's expression returned to his usual expression, and he pointed to the end of the tunnel and said, "My dear Mr.
Smith, Dr.
Haynes is in that room at the end, please." ” Smith was obviously a little surprised: "You don't go with me" Nelson's head shook like a Chinese rattle: "I won't accompany you, to be honest, Dr.
Haynes has been at the bottom of the sea for a long time, and his temper is a little unusual, and I don't want to talk to him." ” Smith had no choice but to walk down the long corridor to the room at the very end.
This corridor is completely different from the style of the outside hall, which is full of cold instruments and experimental equipment, spacious and bright; Here, the lights are dim, and under the soft and dim light, there are some strange pictures hanging on the walls on both sides of the corridor, and the text on the pictures is an obscure font that is very similar to the Runi script.
However, these words had a great shock in Smith's eyes, and he knew very well that these were the disappeared Atlantean scripts, and the Rune script was only derived from it, and was only a small part of the Atlantean Divine Domain runes.
When he finally came to the door, the door was made of heavy beech wood, and Smith stretched out his hand and knocked lightly, and an old voice came from inside.
"Please come in."
Pushing open the heavy door, the simple and simple and slightly rigorous and elegant and noble atmosphere came to the face, the most moving thing is that there is a room with the German style of the eighteenth century at a depth of 600 meters under the sea, which can only be described as luxurious.
Smith had the feeling of returning from modern civilization to the Renaissance in seventeenth-century Europe, and behind a huge solid wood table, the white-headed old man Haynes stood up, holding a crystal wine bottle in his hand, and poured half a glass of green liquor from each of the two wine glasses on the table.
"Come, my dear Mr.
Smith, for the historic moment we will witness later, and to our great kingdom of Atlantis."
He handed the wine glass in his hand, and his smiling face glowed with a divine glow.
Smith took the glass and raised it above his head: "For our Atlantis" The two of them drank it all.
As soon as the wine entered his throat, Smith felt as if he had taken a sip of molten iron, and the burning sensation slid into his stomach and invaded his internal organs.
Haynes pointed to the wide wooden chair in front of him and said, "Please be seated, my honored guest," he seemed very excited, and added: "I think before you came, General William and Deputy Director Gehr have made it clear to you, and the importance of this trip will go down in history. ” Smith nodded and said, "They said something, but I still don't know, as a descendant of Atlantis, I will obey orders unconditionally without asking why, you know, although I am in charge of the deacon department, but at heart, I am only a scientist."
I wasn't much interested in the specific issues of the conference, but I was enthusiastic about research. ”:
