Chapter 931: Imperial Central Laboratory (First update, please subscribe)
It’s over!
When the Security Bureau agent appeared in front of him, Blair's face turned pale instantly.
It’s over!
I can never go back to London!
Faced with the agents of the Imperial Security Bureau, Blair gave up resistance directly. It was not that he wanted to give up, but... they all had guns in their hands, and if he didn't give up, he would die.
"Sir, I'm from the British Embassy..."
Before Blair could finish his words, Jing Zaigui spoke.
"We know who you are, come with us!"
As he was speaking, an agent came up and handcuffed him, and then he was taken into a car.
A few minutes later, in the interrogation room, Blair saw an acquaintance.
"Major, we meet again!"
The last time they met was at a dance, when Blair first met Wu Zhentai.
"Mr. Wu, I think this is all a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstand?"
Wu Zhentai smiled.
"If it can be explained clearly, then it must be a misunderstanding, but how do you explain the information you obtained? Okay, Major, let's get straight to the point!"
…
For ordinary people, they knew nothing about this secret war taking place in the Ming Dynasty, and such a secret war had no impact on their lives.
For Gu Hongming, he knew that his life was entering a new stage. The car was driving on the desert road. At the end of the sky, the blue clouds and the towering Andes Mountains were still vaguely visible.
Along the way, he always kept his eyes on the driver.
The driver was a soldier. He was tall and taciturn. His eyes were always fixed on the road ahead. He just drove his car with all his heart and had been silent since I met him at the station.
Feeling a little thirsty, Gu Hongming took out a water cup from his travel bag. After drinking half a cup of water, his thirst was slightly relieved. Then he looked at the driver, still staring at the road.
"Sir, how long will it take us to get there?"
Thinking that he had not heard, Gu Hongming repeated it. The driver turned around and gave him a cold look.
But still no answer to his question.
What a quiet fellow!
This is what Gu Hongming thought in his heart.
Looking at the desert and wasteland outside the car window, Gu Hongming thought of when he was studying at Yingtian University, someone told him that this road was not easy to travel. At that time, I thought these people just wanted to scare him because they didn't want to work there.
Imperial Central Laboratory!
This is a paradise for inventors. What is he doing here after just graduating from a degree in mechanical engineering?
Once again, Gu Hongming thought of Professor Qiao Wei and said to him at that time:
"Don't imagine the place you are going to be a paradise. It may be the highest temple of imperial science, but you have to be able to endure loneliness there. It is far away in the horizon, in the most desolate desert area, and it is a desolate place that people can only imagine in their imagination."
"Perhaps you could tell me a little bit about what it is like there?"
"Generally speaking? The general situation is: this place is located in the desert. If you choose it, you will work there for at least the next five years."
To work in the Imperial Central Experimental Institute is the dream of many scholars!
The car was running on the desert road, disappearing into the depths of the desert, and gradually approaching the destination - what appeared in front of us was an endless wall. The barbed wire fence stretched out in the north and south directions and disappeared at the end of the horizon. The wire fence was very high, and there were many guard towers between the walls. On the wire mesh, there were evenly spaced electric lights, and even though the sun had not yet set, the lights were already on.
When the car drove to the entrance and just stopped, soldiers came over and checked the bottom of the car with a probe with a mirror and then checked the trunk.
"Letter of certification."
Gu Hongming took out his letter of certification from his luggage. After checking and verifying it, the barrier at the entrance was lowered and the car drove into the legendary central laboratory.
After the car drove in, Gu Hongming thought he would enter a village or a settlement, but after driving a few hundred meters, he was surprised to see a second barbed wire fence of the same height.
The car stopped, and the driver, who had been silent all this time, turned around and spoke to him.
"Okay, Mr. Gu, I can only take you here. After you pass the checkpoint, someone will pick you up there."
Carrying a simple luggage and a large bundle of books, Gu Hongming walked slowly towards the gate. There were several armed sentries standing next to the checkpoint at the gate. After checking his ID, the sentry picked up the phone and made a call to verify his identity, then stretched his neck to look at his luggage.
Then I said to him.
"Mr. Gu, welcome to the Central Laboratory."
Is this the central laboratory?
After passing the checkpoint and walking for about five minutes, he saw a car parked on the side of the road with a man standing next to the car.
"It's Gu Hongming, right? Get in the car."
The man spoke authentic Mandarin and extended a hand to Gu Hongming.
"Let us get to know each other. I am Jiang Rushi, and we will be colleagues in District 27 from now on."
After getting in the car, Gu Hongming asked curiously.
"District 27? What does that mean?"
"It's our laboratory. It's very simple. We use numbers to command each area. Each area is different. Our Area 27 specializes in mechanical research. Of course, sometimes we will cooperate with other areas."
While driving to District 27, Jiang Rushi introduced the basic situation of the Central Laboratory to Gu Hongming. It was not until this time that he realized that the Central Laboratory was not one or several buildings, but a huge area of thousands of square kilometers, divided into 63 areas, including military bases, laboratories, and of course living areas.
Half an hour later, they arrived at District 27. Gu Hongming, sitting in the car, looked around. What appeared before him was a town that looked well-organized. The town was full of single-family houses. There was also a row of buildings not far away, which seemed to be a school. This place looked no different from many small towns in the empire.
You can even see women pushing strollers. It seems like this is a small town.
"Don't feel strange. Just think of this place as a town. In the next few years, you will live here. You will find that this place is no different from other towns and villages in Daming. If you have to say something different, it is..."
After thinking about it, Jiang Rushi said.
"Most of the residents here are scientists. You can think of this place as... a science city, the science city of the Ming Dynasty!"
