Chapter 152 Interstellar Orphan (11)
Dr. Allen let Shisui go without saying a word.
She still lived in the same single isolation room in Area B, but Dr. Allen gave her the identity of a "special researcher."
Except for the experimental area, she can freely enter and exit areas C, D, E, and F where normal experimental subjects are held.
It's almost like letting her "run free".
Dr. Allen's unusual decision, at worst, reeks of conspiracy - perhaps he wants to collect data on her actions for some strange analysis.
After all, there are cameras everywhere in the base, and she has a chip installed in her body, so he can keep track of her movements at any time.
But after several days of wandering around and getting to know each other, Shisui gradually felt that something was not right.
The researchers working at the base have a surprisingly consistent evaluation of Dr. Allen, saying that he is a very dedicated and talented scientific researcher.
No days off, no entertainment.
Unless he has social engagements, he can spend days and nights in the laboratory without sleep.
...The blue-skinned man who used to belong to Fox was a simple-minded person, but after being guided by Shi Sui for a few words, he started to reveal the secrets.
"Let me be clear, I'm not trying to curry favor with him just because he spared my life. Dr. Allen is truly focused on his research. He's very rigorous and impressive! But he probably uses work to numb himself because his only daughter died."
Shisui's curiosity was ignited: "He has a daughter and a wife?"
"I don't know much about his wife, but his daughter died in an explosion many years ago. It was a horrific incident. It was said that her body was shattered into pieces. The only thing intact at the scene was his daughter's brain, which was retrieved by Dr. Allen and is still hidden in a highly classified laboratory!"
The blue man described the story vividly, and Shisui, shocked, asked with a bit of conspiracy theory: "Could his daughter's death be related to Dr. Fox?"
It was hard not to think too much about a person who was described by everyone and seen with her own eyes as so calm and focused, and who hated Fox so much that he needed to vent his anger with a knife.
"What?! It was just an accident! Don't tell me anything, or you'll be caught and used for experiments! Oh, don't ask me. I have to work!"
The blue-skinned man pushed Shi Sui out the door.
...Dr. Allen's research focuses on the integration of humans and machines.
He has created mechanical organs and prosthetic limbs that can extend life and treat diseases, and even lifelike robots that look like real people and are powered by AI technology.
This lifelike robot once appeared on the battlefield, but was soon listed as contraband - the reason was that its appearance and movements were too similar to those of a real person, which violated moral ethics.
If put into large-scale use, there is a high possibility that humans will be mistaken for simulated robots and killed accidentally.
Tokiho pondered this carefully... She wondered if Dr. Allen's obsession with machines was because he wanted to bring his daughter back to life in this way...
After leaving Area A where the blue men were, Shisui returned to Area C - the place where thousands of experimental subjects were imprisoned in sleeping cabins.
She stood in the straight corridor outside the room, watching the 875 experimental subjects left over from the "Hanging Thread" project slowly pour out of the room.
These people walked past her like zombies, expressionless and bumping into her shoulders from time to time.
There are men and women, old and young.
Dr. Allen didn't do anything to them. They were treated the same as before.
But are these lifeless faces all that they will remain like this for the rest of their lives?
Is it impossible to restore their damaged brain nerves?
Shisui felt a pang of sadness. If she had the chance in the future, she would definitely do her best to help them.
The silent crowd almost disappeared on the other side of the corridor, heading to Area F, and began to spend the rare three hours of "awake" time in the day.
Tokiho continued walking forward.
When she was looking up information in Fox's private laboratory, she learned about the general structure of the entire foundation.
The experimental area is located on the lowest level of the base.
The upper floor is the weapons depot and soldier station.
The entrances to each level of the base are heavily guarded, and everyone's entry and exit rights are strictly restricted.
Take the researchers here for example. Only Dr. Allen can pass freely, while people of the blue-skinned man's level can only stay in the dormitory on the lowest level.
...At the end of the corridor in Area C, there is a computer room dedicated to storing hardware equipment.
For cooling purposes, there is a huge exhaust vent above the computer room.
The exhaust duct connects each floor. As long as you walk up along it, you can reach the top of the base without anyone noticing.
Tokiho is now standing outside the computer room.
She was going to use this secret passage to visit Vincent who had taken her away from the WT27 asteroid.
The truth of that year will soon be revealed!
Tokiho smiled sweetly at the surveillance camera outside the computer room.
"Dr. Allen, since you're so eager to collect my data, I wouldn't mind showing you some of my real skills."
