"Let's go. The buildings up here are all for show. The real research facility is underground."
Led by Wisdom Shield, Chen Cheng arrived at the true entrance to the research institute.
Then Chen Cheng watched as Wisdom Shield went through mechanical locks, combination locks, magic locks, and all manner of other verification methods before opening the elevator doors leading to the underground facility.

Huge incandescent lamps lit the entire underground research facility as brightly as day, while the roar of the ventilation system's fans rang without cease.
Some of the researchers passing by carried paper documents in their hands, while others held brick-sized objects resembling tablet computers as they conducted tests.
"Come, let me introduce it to you. This is three hundred meters underground, and the facility covers more than ten square kilometers.
"Based on the materials you left behind, along with Simov and the others' efforts, the institute can now roughly be divided into several sections.
"One is the reverse-engineering department for the materials you provided. It has
