Soul Guidance Train stopped steadily at Shrek Academy Station, and Xiao Mu four people walked out of the platform one after another.
Shrek City is completely different from Ming Capital. There are not so many high-rise buildings. Most of the buildings are gray stone buildings. The shop signs on both sides of the street use simple wooden signs, but traces of Soul Guidance Technology are hidden in the details.
They passed through the outer city and entered the inner city.
The streets narrowed, and the flagstones were worn smooth and shiny by the years. The plane trees on both sides were thicker and denser than Ming Capital, and the tree crowns intertwined into a green arcade in the air.
Then the trees suddenly moved away, and the view suddenly opened up.
Sea God Lake can be faintly seen, and the lake surface is glowing with golden light in the afternoon sun. The lake water is extremely clear, and it seems that you can see schools of fish.
There is an island in the middle of the lake, and a towering tree stands on the island.
Every leaf of Golden Ancient Tree is like tempered gold foil. The trunk is so thick that it needs dozens of people to hug it. The roots are deeply rooted in the land of the island in the middle of the lake. The canopy blocks the sky and the sun, shrouding the entire island in a golden halo.
The sunlight passes through the leaves and is filtered into fine golden light spots, which are sprinkled on the lake surface and sway gently with the water waves.
Xu Xiaoyan raised his head, said a silent "Wow" in his mouth, and looked at the big tree in front of him in surprise.
Gu Yue stood beside her, looking across the lake to the ancient tree, and something flashed across his eyes.
Na'er squinted his eyes and watched those golden leaves flying in the wind, like countless small golden butterflies.
Xiao Mu put his hands into his coat pockets and looked at the tree in the middle of the lake from a distance. He could feel the energy fluctuations coming from the direction of the ancient tree, which was full of vitality.
His laboratory is built nearby and shares the same underground water layer with this ancient tree. The sewage system is unobstructed and sewage is discharged directly into Sea God Lake.
Golden Ancient Tree has the ability to purify pollution, and it can completely withstand this pollution.
As for Ah Yin, that's Ah Yin's business.
"This tree is really big, much bigger than what you see in the picture."
"That's right, I think Federation should legislate to protect this kind of ancient trees. It's still not safe enough to put them in the Shrek Academy."
"Xiao Mu, stop your expression, your thoughts are written on your face." Gu Yue reminded.
"Is it so obvious?" Xiao Mu said.
"Of course."
"That's a shame."
After Xiao Mu finished speaking, he turned around and walked in the direction of Industrial Zone.
The laboratory is located not far from Sea God Lake. It looks like an inconspicuous gray-white three-story factory building, which is no different from the surrounding factories.
But after pushing open the heavy alloy door, the world inside completely changed.
The dome is more than ten meters high, the silver-white main console is spread out in an arc, and the holographic screen is suspended in mid-air, silently scrolling various environmental parameters.
The ion confinement device stands in the center, and the three-meter-high ring-shaped magnet array glows with cold blue light, like a dormant steel giant.
The isotope separation tower is arranged along the wall to the ceiling. The pipes are criss-crossed like blood vessels, and the end is connected to the underground wastewater treatment system. Each pipe is embedded with a sensor light for real-time monitoring, which is shining with a steady green light at the moment.
There is a faint smell of ozone floating in the air, which is the trace of ionized air left when the device was debugged.
Xu Xiaoyan stood at the door, his eyes widened, his mouth opened and closed, and finally he choked out. "This is too advanced."
Gu Yue said nothing, and was also very curious about what Xiao Mu was going to do. Unfortunately, her knowledge was shallow and she really couldn't figure it out.
She wants to learn, but she doesn't know if Xiao Mu will teach her.
Na'er has pressed his face against the transparent glass cover, his nose flattened, staring at an automated assembly line inside, his eyes reflecting the blue indicator lights flowing on the robotic arm.
Not long after, they walked to the lecture theater in the laboratory annex, which was already full of people.
There are three rows of long tables, with about twenty Federation researchers, ranging in age from early thirties to gray-haired. Everyone has a data pad and an electronic pen in front of them.
They were all transferred from Yu Guanzhi to the Ming Capital Research Department, and their professional backgrounds cover soul engineering, materials science, etc.
Before coming, they only knew that they were going to participate in a new project. The person in charge of the project was a young man and the details were kept confidential.
Xiao Mu stood on the podium with no handouts in his hands, and only a line of formulas written on the holographic screen behind him.
He talked about nuclear fission chain reaction for three minutes...
There is no nonsense, every information is accurate to six decimal places.
The audience was quiet at first, then there was the rustling sound of pens scratching on the information board, and then someone started asking questions about centrifugal technology, etc.
Xiao Mu answered one by one. More and more people asked, and the answer speed became faster and faster.
A gray-haired old researcher took off his glasses, wiped the lenses, put them on again, stared at the fission reaction principle diagram on the holographic screen for a long time, and murmured, "So that's it, is everything for safety?"
He raised his head and exchanged a look with several colleagues next to him. There was no hesitation in the look. Everyone here understood the cost of this experiment and its significance. So what if you sacrifice your life for the scientific research progress of Federation.
Rear corner.
Xu Xiaoyan gave up from the third minute.
She put her notebook on her knees, resting her chin on her hands, her ponytails hanging on the table, her eyes as distracted as staring at a distant place that she could never reach.
Gu Yue straightened his back and furrowed his brows. The notebook in front of him contained several lines of words, but if you look closely, they were all fragmented keywords.
She knew every word, and together they formed a wall. She clenched the cap of her pen, loosened it, and clenched it again.
Na'er lay down on the table, turned the notebook to a blank page, and began to draw little people. She really didn't understand.
The two ordinary old Titled Douluo standing in the back row of the classroom were not much better.
I don't understand, I really don't understand.
Do children nowadays talk about such advanced things?
They are really behind the times.
However, this weapon Federation must be available. It seems to be able to replace Eternal Heaven. After all, the consumables of this thing are not metal extracts.
Rather, they are some ores that are of no use and don't know what they are used for, they just look good.
Xiao Mu finished allocating the tasks, closed the information board, and walked down from the podium without saying any polite words.
He just stopped for a step when he reached the door and glanced sideways at the room full of people.
"Remember everything clearly. Check it again and again before doing the experiment."
"Make sure the mission is completed," the old researcher said.
After leaving the laboratory, it was already afternoon, and the sun had turned westward, dyeing the stone road of Shrek City into a warm golden color.
Xiao Mu led the three of them into the snack street of Shrek City, pushed open a wooden framed glass door, and the wind chimes hanging on the door jingled for a while.
This is a drink bar.
The place is not big, but the decoration is warm.
Xu Xiaoyan opened the menu, and Na'er had already moved over, pointing his finger at the top row of the menu. "This, and this, let's have a drink."
Gu Yue leaned against the window, took a look at the menu, and also ordered a cup of ice cream.
Xiao Mu also ordered a cup of milk tea, full of sugar.
