Two hours later, Chen Chen walked out of the teleportation room on the top floor of the Spire laboratory.
It only took Chen Chen two hours to travel tens of thousands of kilometers from Mainland China to Africa. In these two hours, most of the time was spent on the way to the teleportation room.
The actual time spent on teleportation was only about ten seconds.
"The only drawback of this teleportation method is probably the power consumption."
Chen Chen thought to himself. The Gantz sphere may appear to be quiet, but it consumed a massive amount of power, far more than expected. Fortunately, there were two nuclear fusion reactors in the Spire Experimental Base, so they could just about afford it.
The only reassuring thing was that Gantz technology had a huge advantage, and that was that it could even transmit energy.
This meant that even if Gantz spheres were placed all over the world, there was no need to worry about the local authorities being alerted due to abnormal power consumption. It was enough to ensure that the headquarters had enough power.
"Looks like it's time to build the third reactor."
With this in mind, Chen Chen raised his head and said to the monitor in front of him, "X, I hope the third reactor can generate at least 10 million kilowatt-hours of power and have a Q value of more than 1,000."
"Yes, I'll inform the High Energy Physics Department."
Little X immediately agreed.
The reactor did not take up a large area and the fuel was extracted from seawater. There was no shortage of seawater here anyway. The port was directly connected to the ocean. The most troublesome part was the extraction process, but it was nothing compared to the returns.
This was the advantage of nuclear fusion. If this technology was publicized, the GDP of all countries could easily increase by more than ten times without the need to suppress each other.
At the same time, humans could land on Mars in less than ten years, establish colonies on Mars and Europa in twenty years, and fly out of the solar system in fifty years. There was endless energy and resources...
Of course, the current nuclear fusion technology was not mature yet. The Q value could not even reach 1,000. In theory, the Q value of man-made nuclear fusion could reach up to 10,000.
As the two conversed, Chen Chen slowly walked out of the teleportation room and asked, "What about the metal bed that was brought back?"
"That metal bed is too mysterious and unpredictable, I've sealed it in the 'Faraday cage'."
Little X responded, "Do you need to transport it back now?"
"No need, I'll make a trip myself."
Chen Chen waved his hand and left the Spire, heading toward the exit on the surface.
The so-called Faraday cage was a prison-like room that could be entered layer by layer. It was like a Russian nesting doll. Back then, Chen Chen used this Faraday cage to prevent himself from being killed by the meme and also to prevent the meme from spreading to reality.
When Chen Chen arrived at the industrial park, he saw a huge, polygonal lump of iron with a diameter of more than twenty-five meters in a secret factory that was strictly forbidden to anyone.
At this moment, there were two industrial hoists hanging on both ends of the metal lump, slowly lifting it up.
As the combination cage opened layer by layer, the innermost room was gradually revealed. Chen Chen did not have to do anything. A Black Knight came forward and opened the door for Chen Chen.
Inside the room was a scene that Chen Chen was all too familiar with — a small room of more than ten square meters. There were only two single beds, a desk and chairs, and a toilet in the corner. Other than that, there was nothing else.
Among the two single beds, one was made of wood with damp bedding laid on it. The other was a bed made of barbed wire. The metal bed was rusted and looked extremely filthy.
Not only was there a large amount of rust on this metal bed, but the barbed wire in the middle was also covered with a large amount of dark brown grease. It seemed that someone had been lying on this bed for many years.
Not only that, but there were also a small number of dirty bandage fragments between the grease. These fragments were stuck in the gaps of the bed, exuding an ominous aura.
When he saw this metal bed, Chen Chen's pupils shrank slightly.
On the day he returned to Shangdu, he almost fell into a trap when he went to the school to investigate. This metal bed seemed to be the source of the trap.
What Chen Chen experienced that day was very similar to the movie Silent Hill. Coupled with this metal bed, Chen Chen was almost ninety percent sure that this metal bed came from the movie Silent Hill.
"Have you sent someone to inspect it?"
Chen Chen looked at the metal bed in the room and did not immediately approach it. Instead, he cautiously asked Little X.
"No, because I didn't receive your order, so after Cheng Cao teleported it here, I directly sealed it here."
Little X answered and then asked, "Do you think it has anything to do with Professor Wang Xi's disappearance?"
"I'm not sure. I only know that it's likely a memetic carrier."
Chen Chen narrowed his eyes. "If that's the case, this is the first time we've encountered a physical object with a memetic effect other than the Gantz server machine."
At this point, there was no need to speculate or speculate anymore. Chen Chen waved his hand and immediately, two Black Knights immediately entered the room with tools such as pliers and hammers in their hands.
After that, the Faraday cage was closed again. The two Black Knights began to attempt to destroy the metal bed according to the predetermined procedure.
Ten minutes later, when the two Black Knights came out again, they had already removed a small number of fragments from the metal bed and confirmed that the metal bed could be destroyed.
"The metal bed can be destroyed. It's just like any ordinary metal bed. Apart from looking a little old, there's nothing unusual about it."
Little X reported.
"Try to extract the bandage fragments and grease and see if you can find human tissue fragments."
Chen Chen continued. "If it really came from the movie, then it's very likely that we can find the human tissue samples of Alyssa, the core character of the movie, from these fragments."
The Black Knights followed Chen Chen's instructions one by one. After extracting the samples, Chen Chen issued the final order.
Lie on it.
Immediately, one of the Black Knights put down the tools in his hands, went to the metal bed, and lay down.
At this moment, Chen Chen who was far away could not help but hold his breath.
However, even after half a minute, whether it was the metal bed or the Black Knights, nothing had changed.
"Number T 00823 has shown no abnormalities in his vital signs."
Little X informed, "There are no abnormalities in this metal bed and there are no abnormalities in the Black Knights lying on it."
Seeing this, Chen Chen could not help but ponder.
Seeing that the Black Knights did not show any reaction, this was not unexpected to Chen Chen.
After all, strictly speaking, the Black Knights were just people in a vegetative state who had lost their brains. It was only the God chip that allowed them to move. In truth, they had no thoughts, consciousness, or souls.
However, since the Black Knights had failed, Chen Chen did not know who to use for the experiment.
Generally speaking, in a situation like this where experiments were required, Chen Chen would naturally use the Delta-level (subjects). These people were purchased from the prison and were usually kept at the bottom of the Spire laboratory.
The environment at the bottom of the Spire laboratory was not bad, much better than the prison. To ensure the physical and mental health of this group of people, they would usually receive a small amount of military training. At the same time, there was also a psychiatrist, and they were provided with good food and drinks.
The only use of these people was to use them for clinical experiments. Regardless of the final results of the experiment, there was no loss.
However, at this time, the situation was a little awkward.
This was because the person lying on the metal bed was likely to possess some kind of mysterious power. If he used the Delta-level subjects, what if the other party used this method to escape?
After all, Chen Chen was not familiar with this power. Even with the God chip, there was still a certain degree of risk involved.
With this in mind, Chen Chen suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He immediately said, "Tie ten kilograms of explosives under the metal bed, then send a Delta-level subject to lie on top of it. If something happens and the detonation of the God chip doesn't work, try destroying the metal bed directly."
"Understood, I'll send someone over now."
Little X agreed. "It'll take about an hour for the Delta-level subjects to arrive."
"Right, let Yoru Kamidera come as well."
Chen Chen suddenly thought of something and added, "Let's see if his ability can detect the memetic effect on the metal bed."
With that, Chen Chen walked out of the factory and casually walked around the vicinity.
The industrial park occupied a large area. At the same time, because there was also a military industrial park and a space launch base next to it, the area occupied was incomparably vast.
At a glance, the horizon was filled with huge factories and wide, clean asphalt roads. These scenes were laid out on the plains of Namibia, stretching all the way to the sky.
"Now that even the military industry is on the right track, the next step is to independently develop aerospace and aviation technology."
Looking at this land that he had conquered, Chen Chen suddenly felt a little emotional. If this was the him four years ago, would he have thought that he would have such a day?
Moreover, now he was still in a period of rapid development. Entering the military industry was equivalent to obtaining the power to protect himself. Even if Northern America wanted to carry out a military attack on him in the future, he would have the right to resist.
It was not like before, only allowing the other party to punish him, but if he resisted, it would trigger a stress response from the entire Earth Federation.
Of course, now was not the time to be complacent. Putting aside the fact that Chen Chen was not standing at the top of the Earth Federation, even if the time came when Blacklight Biotechnology alone was enough to stand on equal footing with the Earth Federation, Chen Chen still needed to be vigilant.
This was because until now, Chen Chen was not sure whether the previous owner of the USB drive was dead or not. Also, who were the previous owners of the USB drive and why did they disappear?
There were too many secrets in the USB drive, enough to dazzle anyone. One wrong step could lead to falling into a trap set by the predecessors, just like the previous hypnosis.
Feeling the gentle breeze of the Namibian plains, Chen Chen stared at the sky. After an unknown amount of time, Little X's voice suddenly came. "Sir Godfather, the explosives have been installed. At the same time, two Delta-level researchers and B2-level researcher Yoru Kamidera have also arrived at the industrial park. They're ready to participate in the experiment at any time."
"I'll be back now."
Chen Chen responded and then returned to the factory.
At this time, Yoru Kamidera, dressed in casual clothes, had arrived at the factory. He looked curiously at the Faraday cage placed in the center of the open space in front of him, then looked at the two researchers in prison uniforms beside him. However, at this moment, he suddenly heard a cold, hoarse voice behind him.
"Yoru-kun, long time no see."
Yoru Kamidera quickly turned around and immediately saw Chen Chen walking toward him. He quickly straightened up and at the same time, bowed deeply. "Your Excellency Chen Chen, long time no see!"
"I heard that you've been studying biology recently?"
Chen Chen walked to Yoru Kamidera and asked casually, "How's it going?"
"Fortunately, after you hired several professional tutors for me, my grades have improved rapidly. I've already made up for the knowledge I had in junior high and high school. According to the tutor, I'm currently close to the level of a master's degree."
Yoru Kamidera replied respectfully.
"You don't have to study biology."
Chen Chen reminded, "Study according to your preferences."
"But shouldn't the company be in need of talents in biology?"
Yoru Kamidera was a little puzzled. He looked at Chen Chen blankly.
Chen Chen could not help but smile. He shook his head and replied, "Although the full name of the company is' Blacklight Biotechnology Ltd. ', we don't just deal in biology. Medical science, electronics, network, military, aerospace... We do whatever we can to make money, got it?"
"Yes."
Yoru Kamidera nodded. "But I'm still planning to improve my biology first, then I'll try to major in psychology. This is a subject that I prefer."
"Up to you."
Chen Chen did not comment and then asked again, "Do you know why I called you here?"
"I've already looked through the information. It's because of that bed."
Yoru Kamidera immediately replied, "I heard that this bed is suspected to have a memetic effect."
"That's right. You'll be in charge of this experiment. Let me see the results of your studies."
Chen Chen nodded and then looked at the entrance of the factory.
Yoru Kamidera followed Chen Chen's gaze and saw two Black Knights walking into the factory with pulse rifles in their hands. Behind them were two Delta-level researchers who were chained up and dressed in prisoner's garb.
The two of them looked around nervously, filled with panic and unease.
Chen Chen had looked through their information earlier and knew that they were local natives. They were arrested and imprisoned for committing a felony. Then, they were purchased by Blacklight Biotechnology and had been provided with good food and drinks in the Spire Laboratory.
When they were handed over, both of them were tanned and skinny. Although they were still tanned, they had clearly put on a lot of weight.
After hearing Chen Chen's words, Yoru Kamidera also understood the next task, so he nodded at Chen Chen and picked up the previous data to double-check a few times. After that, he took a deep breath and raised his head to look at the two experimenters.
"Mr. Comozer, Mr. Monar, let me first introduce myself."
Yoru Kamidera first followed the requirements of the protocol and had the two of them develop a preliminary trust in him so that they could cooperate with him. "My name is Yoru Kamidera. You can call me Mr. Yoru Kamidera or Researcher Yoru Kamidera. Please allow me to congratulate both of you. The reason you were brought out of prison was because you were given a heaven-sent opportunity... "
