When the screen paused on that strange photograph, Director Wang tilted his head slightly and looked at the Cube on the platform.
Mo Ling stared at the photograph and froze as well, because the Cube in the picture was exactly the same as the one trapping him.
"Ten years after the Abyss was sealed, inspectors from the Entrance Defense Department discovered an abrupt cube while conducting a routine inspection of the Abyssal Iron layer. Unlike the other small cubes, it was not connected to the Abyssal Iron layer. It existed completely independently of it."
"At first, when we received the report, we assumed this cube was like the previous samples, provided by the Abyssal Iron for our experiments. But after seeing it in person, we concluded that this cube served another purpose."
"The cube measured one meter in length, width, and height. Even with our most advanced equipment, it still measured exactly one meter, without the slightest deviation. It was an exceptionally standard cube."
"The cube was merely in contact with the Abyssal Iron layer and was not attached to it. After conducting safety checks, we transported it to a temporary placement site near the entrance, where we carried out a series of physical measurements."
"The cube's material was broadly similar to Abyssal Iron, but several incomprehensible phenomena emerged. During microscopic observation, we found that we could not see this cube's microscopic structure. Unlike the previous samples, where square atoms and electrons could still be observed, this cube revealed only nothingness."
"Whatever color the instrument's observation background was, that was the color we observed. This proved that the cube was microscopically 'transparent,' or perhaps 'empty.'"
"Based on these two hypotheses, we conducted an electrical experiment on the cube. When current passed through it, we detected electrical signals and observed electrons
