Steel steam and flame

Cassia stood at the fork of the passage. When the thin man came out from behind the airlock door, another man also came from the other end of the passage.

"Hello, Mr. Soriato." The man who just came over said, "You can call me Bennett. The person who brought you here is my assistant, named Zagavar."

Cassia nodded politely, "Hello, Mr. Bennett, and Mr. Zagavar."

"You don't have to be so polite. I think we will meet often in the future." Bennett smiled. "Because of some things, the person in charge of this laboratory base, Professor Mosier, wants to meet you. Now he is already in The conference room is waiting, and I think Mr. Soriato, if you have any questions, you can get them answered after you go there."

Without asking too much, Huo Shenbo had already told Cassia about this, and he saw the two people sitting in the conference room. Seeing Cassia's silence, Bennett turned around and motioned to follow him, then walked straight to the conference room.

The passage where Cassia and Bennett are now is like a main road, with many branch roads connecting it. The conference room is at the end of the third fork in the road. After passing through a brand-new pneumatic gate, you can enter a spacious room, nearly forty square meters in size. It has a sense of technology. The walls are inlaid with metal plates. In addition to a large copper bell, there are several exquisite landscape art paintings on it. The room is roughly a square with a round table in the middle. Water has been prepared on the round table, as well as several stacks of printed information.

The Professor Moses described by Bennett is sitting at a round table, looking like he is transitioning from middle age to old age. His hair is half gray, and wrinkles have crept onto his energetic face. Slightly fat, but with a rosy complexion. In addition to being kind, he is wise and steady.

"Hello, Mr. Soriato." Cassia walked into the room, but Professor Mosier stood up to say hello, waved his hand, and motioned for Cassia to sit opposite him. Zargaval closed the door of the conference room, then went to take one of the documents from the stack and placed it in front of Cassia, indicating that it would be better to read the document before starting the conversation.

The information is full of printed color pictures, taken from a fixed angle - the test tube holder and the glass test tube on it.

Pretending to be completely unaware, Cassia read the picture carefully, and then looked at the four people opposite.

"You must be confused now, Mr. Soriato." But Professor Mosier said, like a test, "Because I am doing research, I personally don't like to go around in circles, so I will go straight to the point here."

"You must be very clear about the things in the photo. The reason why the four of you come alone every three days is because we need to conduct individual tests on everyone. The purpose is to find out who can use sound waves. , use it to detect the surroundings." While speaking, Professor Mosier took out a monitoring machine and pushed it to Cassia, "It can capture low-frequency sound waves and high-frequency sound waves at the same time. The sensitivity is not very high, but it can capture the Soria map. There’s nothing wrong with the sonic pulses you emit.”

"Each of the first three people has been observed and tested for most of the day, and they all do not meet the situation. Even if you use the elimination method, you are the only one left, Soriato. Besides, these machines have just reported that they have detected high The intensity of the sound wave pulse is enough to penetrate the wall without excessive attenuation. This also ensures that our guess is not wrong."

Cassia reached out and picked up the monitoring machine. The moment after the sound wave pulse was sent out, slight vibrations were heard in his hand and the machine in front of Professor Mosier.

Without admitting it to herself, but not denying it either, Cassia put down the machine and waited for the next words.

"The intensity of high-frequency sound waves that can shatter glass test tubes is a condition required for my current experiment. Therefore, I would like to invite you to assist in the research. Correspondingly, I will personally write a Submit this report to help you personally,..., well, whether it's a job, a promotion, or something else. In short, this report will definitely be of great help to you."

"Professor, are you so sure it's me?"

"The human brain makes mistakes, but machines don't lie, Soriato. Besides, there are three such machines."

"I think a machine can do this kind of thing, professor, there is a special high-frequency sound wave machine." Cassia asked rhetorically. He knew that when he entered the laboratory base, he walked into a trap without knowing it. It's just that he wanted to know more about the situation, because the impression left on him by the experiment was not very good. Of course, I also secretly reminded myself to be more careful in the future, especially in places like laboratories. The number and types of testing machines in these places are not small.

"If it had been, we wouldn't be sitting here together at this moment." But Professor Mosier said, after seeing Cassia's acquiescence, he continued his words, "Let's explain it this way. Many research and scientific results have been published for hundreds of years. It has been thoroughly studied for many years. Even if there is a technical blockade at the beginning and no information is leaked, after more than ten years or decades, latecomers can always get a lot of information from all aspects. Through this information, After decades of deduction, the desired results can be obtained. No technology can be kept secret forever. Only by constantly conducting new research can technical barriers be formed."

"Just like the smelting and manufacturing of high-grade alloys. The ratio of each element and the temperature range required for the processing process are no longer secrets. But until now, there are still many factories, even small countries, that cannot produce it. Because The equipment and machines cannot meet the requirements. Why they cannot meet the requirements is because the technology of the machines cannot support them to produce qualified things. In this way, one link is connected with another, resulting in a certain thing that wants to be manufactured, which will involve a number of factors. Large areas.”

"The research situation in this laboratory base is roughly like this. Don't just go to the black market to buy these machines. Things that can be solved with money often don't count. They are as boring and simple as breathing."

"As a member of the organization, I think it is also an honor for me to help." After thinking about it, Cassia said. But Professor Mosier explained it very clearly, and the reward for his assistance was very generous. This is exactly what Adolf and Trivikan want to see, "But I don't know if I can really meet your requirements, Professor, and I want to know what needs to be done?"

"Thank you in advance, Mr. Soriato." But Professor Mosier said, with an expected look on his face, "It's very simple. Just stand next to the machine and emit high-frequency sound waves, and the rest will be left to you. Us. Each time lasts about half an hour. After a month and a half of this, I think it will be completed with assistance."

"It's that simple?"

"Research is to try every means to achieve one condition after another, no matter whether it is right or wrong, test one by one, and finally get the result. And researchers rely on their own brains and knowledge to reduce the number of wrong experiments as much as possible." Professor Mosier smiled, as if he was enlightening his students, "By the way, if there are no other questions about this, let's move on to another topic."

"About the purpose of the organization's establishment of various laboratory bases, as well as several plans. Becoming a protector of the laboratory base warehouse shows that the organization has acquiesced that you have the right to know these things."

"Actually, the number of warehouse protection and administrators has never been large." At this time, Bennett interjected, "Protecting and managing warehouses are established processes that only exist within an organization."
