Inside the base.
The clean, tidy matte metal surfaces were coated in a bright yet gentle glow that was not harsh on the eyes, further enhancing the entire base's metallic feel.
Long gray or white lights were embedded in the ceiling overhead, stretching forward along the corridors.
Additional blue and green light strips ran along both sides of the corridor near every door leading to other rooms or facilities.
While indicating the functions of the facilities to passersby,
they also made the space feel more open, greatly reducing the oppressive sensation of an enclosed environment.

The basement door before Linsey opened automatically.
He had been waiting outside the Calculation Core's room for the upgrade to finish, and this sight confirmed another upgrade—the entire base's door system had been transformed into a sturdy, reliable automated structure.
Looking around,
the underground base of the Out of Control Machine resembled a meticulously designed space station. Walking through it even created the surreal feeling of having entered another world.
"Lord Linsey, I have completed the upgrade."
At that moment, the Calculation Core's voice came from ahead.
Linsey stepped into the room and found that the changes inside differed somewhat from the upgrades outside.
Where the Calculation Core was located, the room's area had expanded greatly. Metal no longer completely covered the surroundings, and the original underground rock was even exposed.
Cool-toned light from above shone on the warm-colored stone.
The resulting visual effect was fragmented and sharply divided, making the place look like a mining base carved out inside an asteroid.
As for the Calculation Core, which had originally taken the form of a server cabinet,
it had now become a row of facilities built along the edge of the wall. Red cameras among them scanned the surrounding area like human eyes.
