Climbing a Thousand Levels, Pointing to the Heavens, Reaching for the Stars!

After Hou Congwen finished speaking, the laboratory's double-layer bulletproof-glass doors slowly retracted to either side, revealing the entrance.

Qiu Hong stepped in with practiced ease, and Su Mo followed closely behind.

The first room inside the laboratory was probably where Hou Congwen received guests. It was only about fifteen square meters, furnished with two simple tables and several scattered stools.

Following Qiu Hong through another door, they entered several of his work areas.

"Teacher Su, Researcher Hou is currently in the experimental area. Please stay close to me and don't touch any of the instruments."

The second room was filled with all kinds of direct-contact instruments.

In the corner, Su Mo even saw a medium-sized operating platform of the same model as his own, though obviously much larger.

After passing through the instruments, they once again arrived before a wooden door.

Qiu Hong stopped, extended a hand, pushed the door open slightly, and pointed inside.

"Teacher Su, the questions will begin as soon as you enter."

"No matter what you see, don't panic. This is a unique technology of our Academy of Sciences. It allows you to demonstrate the answers to the questions more effectively."

"You only need to... Forget it. I'm sure Teacher Su isn't afraid." Before entering, Qiu Hong kindly reminded him twice.

But when he saw that Su Mo remained as steady as an old dog, his tone softened, and a faint smile crept into his voice.

In all fairness, judging solely by that calm bearing, even most researchers would fall short by quite a bit.

If they were truly compared, probably only someone of the dean's caliber could suppress him.

"Good luck!"

"Thank you." Organizing his thoughts, Su Mo exhaled a breath of stale air and walked inside through the gap Qiu Hong had opened.

Whoosh!
