There is no guarantee for the lottery? So what?

#253 - Chapter 253 First Arrival at the Institute

"It must be the research institute!"

"Go!"

Ten minutes later.

Qi Jing and Tan Zuoyin were flying in the sky above Jia City.

The headquarters of the research institute is located next to the earliest and largest Jia Campus. The swimming pool is not far from the transfer hall. They arrived here directly through the transfer gate.

Tan Zuoyin asked, "Why is the research institute built in the mountains?"

"Where in the city is there such a large place to build a research institute? Besides, the research institute must be a top-secret place, and strangers are definitely not allowed to enter."

Before long, they flew to the foot of a large mountain.

"The map says it's here, but how come there's nothing?"

Qi Jing looked at the navigation on his phone and then at the barren mountain in front of him.

"Underground?"

As soon as Qi Jing finished speaking, a silver metal door suddenly appeared in the mountain in front of him.

A mechanical voice came from inside:

"Student Qi Jing, Student Tan Zuoyin, welcome."

Seeing this scene, Qi Jing thought of the Stone Mountain Cave of the Snake Spirit in Calabash Brothers, except that this one was made of metal.

The hidden method just now should be holographic projection.

He and Tan Zuoyin looked at each other and entered the huge metal door.

On the other side of the door was a long metal corridor with the research institute's precautions and some inspirational slogans written on both sides.

"Don't shout loudly, don't run around here, don't take photos or videos, uh, by the way, is there no one on guard here?"

"There should be some automatic defense facilities, it would cost too much manpower to stand guard."

"Let me see."

Qi Jing activated his Observation Haki and sensed behind the walls on both sides, and sure enough, there was something.

"Inside is a pile of weapons made of unknown materials, which look like high-energy lasers in TV shows, and there are also unknown types of guns."

"This really doesn't need a guard."

At the end of the corridor was another door. Just as they stood in front of the door, the same mechanical voice as before appeared again:

"Welcome, please take this elevator to the underground research institute. Your permission level is: 10th floor."

It turned out that behind this door was an elevator, and it led to the underground.

Qi Jing and Tan Zuoyin walked in and found that it looked similar to the elevators in the academy, except that only 10 of the 99 buttons above were lit.

There are actually 99 floors, outrageous!

There was also an introduction later, the 1st-10th floors are academy-level research that can be visited, and the others are classified research.

"Let's go to the first floor first."

Logically speaking, the first floor must be some kind of exhibition area.

Tan Zuoyin asked, "By the way, where is your Kirov Airship being researched?"

Because the airship was too large to pass through the other-dimensional gate, Yu Ding took it to the research institute for research and modification.

"Let me ask Brother Yu."

Qi Jing sent a message to Yu Ding, but he didn't reply immediately.

Seeing Qi Jing shaking his head, Tan Zuoyin said:

"I just applied for research on the Otherworld Net, and it said to wait on the sixth floor and staff will come to receive me."

One of their purposes here was to have the research institute study the Xing Tian Armor.

"No specific time?"

"No, it's okay to arrive anytime within three days."

"Then let's go to the first floor first."

Since there's no rush, let's take our time and go to the sixth floor later.

After exiting the elevator, what came into view was a small room decorated with mechanical elements, with a detailed map of the floor displayed on the wall.

The layout of this floor is quite similar to the Yuan Island Base, but the difference is that the elevator of the Yuan Island Base is located in the center, while the elevator here is set on the edge.

The central area of the research institute is a blank area, and it is not known what it is for.

Surrounding this blank area is a wide ring corridor, which divides the research institute into inner and outer ring spaces, and multiple exhibition halls are distributed around the corridor.

In addition, there are not many passages on this floor, they do not form an intricate web-like structure, but are relatively simple and clear.

"The left is weapons, the right is equipment, where do we go?"

"Of course it's weapons."

Qi Jing took Tan Zuoyin's hand and turned to the left.

Passing through the door on the left, what came into view was a super huge corridor. On the left and right were glass display cases five or six meters high, filled with all kinds of weapons.

Various guns, knives, cannons, and even several different styles of tanks, torpedoes, missiles and other large goods.

Even intercontinental missiles are here!

Tan Zuoyin exclaimed, "Such powerful things are placed here like this? Aren't you afraid of leaks?"

Qi Jing explained:

"These exhibits are likely to be outdated old products.

Usually, the exhibition area displays the technological achievements of the previous generation, while the innovative products of the new generation will not be publicly displayed."

He went on to explain, "It is said that this research institute was built twenty years ago. Even from today's perspective, its facilities and technology are still very advanced, so there must be even more outstanding products twenty years later."

He pointed to the door in front with the words "Otherworld Weapons" written on it and said:

"Moreover, the things here are all ordinary goods, there are no otherworld products, even if they are stolen, it won't be a big deal. What is really important is the otherworld black technology."

In this era of superpowers, products without superpowers are generally several levels worse than otherworld black technology.

Science cannot compare to metaphysics, but it can study metaphysics.

Although many otherworld things cannot be researched as to why they have such characteristics, new weapon products can be manufactured based on their characteristics.

They passed through this door.

"By the way, why aren't there many people here?"

As soon as Qi Jing finished speaking, a female voice appeared behind him:

"Because this is the exhibition area, the trial area is below."

Who is talking?

Qi Jing and Tan Zuoyin turned around and saw a girl wearing a white coat.

A little familiar.

It seems like I've seen her somewhere.

"Can't recognize me? You forgot so quickly that you kicked me out of the finals in the freshman competition?"

Looking at Qi Jing's puzzled eyes, Gao Qi knew that he didn't recognize her:

"I am the only opponent who made your wound last for the time of a song."

"You are, the one who drove the mecha?"

Hearing this sentence, Qi Jing finally remembered who this girl was.

The culprit who blew himself up with a scorched face in the semi-finals of the freshman competition!

He sang an entire song on the field with that face full of green dust!

She was driving a green mecha at the time, and didn't show her face, so Qi Jing didn't have much impression of her face.

But that scorched green face can be said to have left a deep impression on him. Most of the face he lost came from this!

"Yes, it's me." Gao Qi nodded.

Qi Jing asked, "Are you here to find me specifically?"

Gao Qi asked, "That's right, how did you know?"

"Because there's no one else here except you."

In fact, Qi Jing heard Tan Zuoyin's telepathy. She heard that Gao Qi had a big purpose for Qi Jing.

What would it be to come here specifically to find him?
