Wang Xiaohai also held the door with one hand, walked in from under the door, and then lowered the heavy security door.
A red-eyed evil spirit was obviously out of his mind, or he simply had no intelligence at all. He actually tried to grab the door with his hands to prevent it from falling. Without exception, his hands were crushed by the falling door, and the falling safety door didn't even have time to pause.
Dust rose, and the four people were locked in darkness. The whole place was filled with the smell of dust, a strange fishy odor, and some moldy wood mixed in.
"Mobile system, turn on the flashlight."
Zhang Jiajia's voice echoed, and a beam of light shot out from her trouser pocket, forming an elliptical beam illuminating the front. Wang Xiaohai didn't need light to see clearly, but the Mo family father and son couldn't. They could only see from the bright circle of Zhang Jiajia's phone that there were a number of cargo boxes piled up around them. The boxes had been opened, empty, and there were traces of rats gnawing at the bottoms of the boxes. There were some boxes of wood piled on the ground, all half burned.
"Is it like this inside every security gate?" Wang Xiaohai asked Professor Mo Yuze.
"It's just the first door. There's some wine and meat hidden inside." Professor Mo Yuze pointed at the area Zhang Jiajia's phone was illuminating. There was a rotten lamb leg there, with maggots clearly visible wriggling on the surface. "The next few security doors are some instruments, and behind the last security door are some hovercrafts."
Wang Xiaohai was too lazy to decipher the code, so he simply grabbed the security doors one by one and led everyone through the entire huge security passage.
After walking through the empty parking lot, everyone came to a round metal door that looked like a bottle cap. Countless circuit diagrams were engraved on the metal door, which looked like the work of intelligent life.
"This is the last door leading to the institute. It can't be broken open by force." Mo Yuze was afraid that Wang Xiaohai would kick the door open, so he quickly explained, "The security setting of this door is that if it encounters violent damage, the destruction program will be activated, destroying the entire institute!"
"Then how can we get in? Teacher, do you know the password?" Zhang Jiajia was still holding up her mobile phone, illuminating the surroundings. She had replaced her mobile phone with a nuclear battery, which usually did not need to be recharged until she died.
"I know the old password. I wonder if they've changed it... I'm guessing it's definitely there. The password is a patchwork of circuits. Trial and error take an hour, and there are at least 100 billion possible combinations of these densely packed circuits," Professor Mo explained. "In other words, if we don't know the password, we'll never be able to open this door, given our lifetime."
The four fell silent.
"Maybe we should go back and find other people in the institute and ask them for the password." Mo Shanhe thought that standing here stupidly was not a solution, so it would be better to find something to do.
"Maybe there are people from the research institute behind the door. Let's try to ask them to open the door." Zhang Jiajia offered her suggestion.
"It's useless. The inside and outside are soundproofed to prevent interruptions to work." Mo Yuze said, "Even if there was a nuclear explosion outside the door, the people inside wouldn't be able to hear it."
"I'll try, you guys move aside." Wang Xiaohai walked to the door and tried to penetrate in with his mind. He found the gaps in the atomic arrangement and drilled through. In fact, it was not that difficult. Ninety-nine percent of the space between two atoms was empty. Wang Xiaohai's mental power did not need to touch any atoms to pass through. However, this kind of fine control consumed a lot of energy, no less than fighting with angels.
"There was a man in the institute who seemed to be asleep, with a bottle of red wine on the table," Wang Xiaohai said. "I used my mental power to wake him up, and he thought he'd seen a ghost, so he was so scared that he hid behind a machine that looked like a washing machine."
Wang Xiaohai used his mental power to carve words on the wall in front of the man: We are Mo Yuze and his friends, open the door quickly.
Ten minutes later, the door of the institute slowly opened inward, like a bottle cap retracting into the wall, until it disappeared, leaving behind a dark hole. The lights came on, and a man with messy hair, pale face, and unshaven beard appeared in front of the four people. The man was wearing the white coat of the institute, but it was covered with dust and looked a little dirty.
"Mo Yuze, it's really you! You haven't turned into an evil spirit, have you?" The man pointed a double-barreled shotgun at the four people. "If you say anything wrong, I'll shoot."
"Idiot." Wang Xiaohai snatched his double-barreled gun and threw it on the floor in the corner.
The Mo family father and son and Zhang Jiajia immediately walked through the circular door.
"Uncle Xie, don't worry, we won't hurt you." Mo Shanhe was the last one to enter the door. He pulled the man's body around and closed the door with his backhand.
A ray of light passed through the circuit on the door, and the door was instantly locked, perfectly and seamlessly.
"Mo Shanhe, how did you find this place? I thought you were killed like the others." Xi Dingmao's voice was a little hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time, or maybe because he drank too much.
"How is the research progress of the wormhole device?" Professor Mo Yuze asked his friend.
"It's almost stagnant," said Shedingmao. "Ever since we made huge progress together last year, everyone at the institute was very excited. But after you left to work for the Chuantian Group at Spaceport No. 7, our research progress has slowed down."
"Because I can't think of any effective research suggestions, and staying in the research institute is just a waste of time, I might as well go work for Chuantian Group." Professor Mo Yuze said to his old friend in an apologetic tone, "I can't accompany you on research all the time."
"It's okay. Actually, I'm just hanging out in the research institute. I'm used to a comfortable life. Unlike you, I don't want to go out and work for others. I think that's a waste of life." Xi Dingmao patted Professor Mo's shoulder.
"I understand. I came back this time with a significant discovery." Professor Mo Yuze pulled out a notebook from his pocket. "This friend Wang Xiaohai provided me with very detailed intelligence, more detailed than all the information in our institute combined."
"Really?" Xi Dingmao's eyes lit up. The purpose of his life was to research. He was happier than when Professor Mo told him the news. "Then let's quickly move on to the next step of research. If it's as detailed as you said, then we have a chance to create a wormhole device and then install it on the spacecraft engine. This is definitely the greatest research of the era. The capability of this device far exceeds that of a second-level stellar civilization." His hands were shaking. He thought that he and Mo Yuze might very well become one of the greatest scientists in the history of the Ludo galaxy. After all, with their current science and technology, it might take more than a thousand years of evolution to develop a hyperspace wormhole spacecraft.
"I came to you to research the wormhole device." Mo Yuze shook hands with Xue Baomao.
Wang Xiaohai was also excited. He only found 15,000 divine crystals in the meteorite area. He couldn't afford to buy a spaceship, so he could only wait for others to research it.
