Inside the base, staff from various departments were still busy with their work.
Of course, they acted as if they didn't see the newcomers Qin Hao and his group.
Clearly, they too had fallen under Qin Hao's spell and were trapped in an illusion.
This is just the outside; the real core base is 1000 meters underground.
The most advanced scientific team in the entire Real World, the Pangu Research Team, is located there.
At this time, Qin Hao was one of the members of the Pangu Research Team.
But here he was, standing.
Due to various shielding mechanisms, even Qin Hao and his companions couldn't probe the interior of the base with their Mental Power; they had to enter before they could use their Mental Power to investigate.
Similarly, once inside, Qin Hao and the others' Mental Power could not penetrate what happened outside.
This is the wisdom of modern human technology: blocking all information transmission, even the Mental Power of cultivators.
When they reached the elevator, Qin Hao and his group realized that the elevator had not been used for several years.
This means that in the past few years, no one has gone down to the core area from here, and similarly, no one from the core area has come up.
"Strange. If this were a cultivator, it would make sense, since cultivators can abstain from grains. But we're all mortals. What have we eaten and drunk all these years?"
Zhao Chuan immediately voiced his question.
Qin Hao gave his son-in-law a satisfied look.
Zhao Chuan is right. The Pangu Research Team consists of more than 20 people, but they are all mortals. No matter what, they still need to eat, drink, and relieve themselves. However, they have not communicated with the outside world for several years, which is indeed abnormal.
Qin Hao first released his Mental Power to carefully check whether the elevator was working properly.
After a short while, they found that the elevator was working properly, and then they led everyone into the elevator.
As the elevator descended towards the core area 1000 meters underground, Qin Hao thought about many things.
First, through this visit and observation, it was found that the external researchers were still carrying out their work.
That's very strange, because the external work involves analyzing and comparing the research results on the underground core area, and then organizing them.
If things are still busy outside, then the core area must be doing the same, which is strange.
The elevators revealed that, apart from connections in the fields of information and scientific research data, no one had ever left the core area.
Moreover, the staff outside haven't gone down, and no one has noticed anything unusual for so long.
This is very strange in itself, after all, Qin Hao from the Pangu Research Team is here right now, so logically the core area should have already had a problem.
Soon, the elevator arrived outside the core area.
After passing through a series of identity verifications, Qin Hao led the group into the core area.
The moment they entered, everyone unleashed their Mental Power to conduct a thorough examination.
Everyone fell silent.
Qin Hao, in particular, became even more silent.
He recognized himself in the image: a middle-aged man around 37 years old. It was easy to see that his appearance and build were exactly the same as Qin Hao's. At that moment, the man was busy doing research.
Everyone immediately withdrew their Mental Power and turned their gazes to Qin Hao.
Qin Hao looked at everyone with a completely bewildered expression; he had no idea what was going on.
In his memory, because the Zero-Dimensional Universe was successfully developed, everyone in the Real World was forced to enter the Zero-Dimensional Universe.
Moreover, once someone enters, they all lose all their memories and are then randomly reincarnated as various kinds of beings.
He was an exception; he retained his memories, and therefore possessed extraordinary abilities.
Because he was a scientist, he carefully studied the amazing abilities he possessed.
That's why he created all sorts of cultivation systems in the Zero-Dimensional Universe.
Just like the cultivation systems of the Primordial Universe and the Great Qian Universe, they were all created by him through researching his own magical power—a method to obtain this mysterious power through training.
Ultimately, humans in the Zero-Dimensional Universe gave it a name: cultivation.
Those who, or other beings, acquire magical powers through cultivation are called cultivators.
Finally, in order to save humanity in the Real World who hadn't yet had time to enter the Zero-Dimensional Universe, Qin Hao had to leave the Real World.
However, all the cultivation methods he created had one drawback: they could only be practiced in an environment like Zero-Dimensional Universe, which was filled with spiritual energy.
There is no spiritual energy in the Real World, which limits its effectiveness.
To this end, he created the prototype theory of the Twelve Palaces cultivation and continuously improved the Twelve Palaces Cultivation System through ten lifetimes of reincarnation.
Finally, in this lifetime, he succeeded, successfully perfecting the Twelve Palaces Cultivation System.
Its appearance in the Real World further proves that it is a heaven-defying cultivation system that can be practiced even in the Real World.
Well, due to the limitations of spatial dimensions, he is still very weak in the Real World and cannot accomplish what he wants to do at all.
Now, thanks to the Blood Orchid, he has finally raised his spatial dimension to the level of a human. However, upon arriving at this Zero-Dimensional Universe Research Base, he actually saw himself.
However, before Qin Hao and his group could react, the researchers in the core base suddenly turned to look at them.
Especially the 37-year-old Qin Hao, who looked at Qin Hao and said with a smile, "You've finally arrived!"
Qin Hao, who was still completely bewildered, was now taken aback.
Because his 37-year-old self instantly transformed into starlight and then disappeared into his mind.
Two of the other researchers were Qin Hao's friends, but they shook their heads helplessly, though they were also looking at Qin Hao with great joy.
"Old Qin, congratulations! You've won again this time!"
Qin Hao was completely baffled by these words, because he knew absolutely nothing about them at the moment.
First, his memory and what he sees now are completely different, and the difference is enormous.
At this moment, all the other researchers stopped what they were doing and walked towards Qin Hao and his group.
"Old Qin is back, which means we succeeded!"
The entire Pangu Research Team, consisting of 27 people, was extremely excited and happy at that moment.
Of course, there were also some people who looked sad and even shook their heads in great disappointment.
They scanned Qin Hao and the others one by one; apart from Qin Hao, they didn't recognize the others at all.
Qin Hao asked, looking puzzled, "What... what exactly is going on?"
