Chapter 386 Taking Samples!
Zhang Yan walked through the security gate.
three seconds.
Five seconds.
The green light comes on.
The security supervisor said, "Approved."
Nie Qingcheng remained silent.
Zhang Yan could hear her breathing slow down.
First floor office area.
Second-floor experimental area.
Three-layer material testing area.
Zhang Yan followed the tour procedure, asked a few unimportant questions, and then took out equipment to test several alloy samples.
The researcher standing next to him was indifferent.
"Mr. Zhang, is your company, Dongfang Enterprise, also interested in high-temperature resistant materials?"
Zhang Yan said, "Both aerospace and energy require it."
"This is not an area that can be solved simply by throwing money at it."
Zhang Yan glanced at him.
"That's why I came."
The researcher frowned.
"You are very confident."
"I'm just here to learn."
Nie Qingcheng said coldly into the earpiece, "He's provoking you."
Zhang Yan said in a low voice, "It's nothing."
Qin Xiao said, "Sister-in-law, should I look into this person?"
Nie Qingcheng said, "No need, just write down my name first."
Qin Xiao: "Understood."
The daytime schedule continues until 9 p.m.
Zhang Yan was assigned to a temporary rest room on the third floor.
The security supervisor gave a final reminder before leaving.
"Equipment maintenance will be carried out from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m., resulting in power downgrades in some areas."
"Mr. Zhang, please do not leave the lounge."
Zhang Yan said, "I will abide by it."
The door closed.
Zhang Yan sat on the edge of the bed, without making a move immediately.
Through the earpiece, Nie Qingcheng asked, "Surveillance?"
Qin Xiao replied, "There are two cameras in the lounge, one with thermal imaging and the other with voiceprint."
"Brother Yan, I'll create a 15-second loop for you in three minutes."
Zhang Yan said, "No rush."
Guan Xing said, "The resonance is stable in the fifth underground layer, but the frequency is lower than that of Shennongjia."
"This means that the fragment is just an auxiliary anchor point, not the main body of the door."
Nie Qingcheng said, "Zhang Yan, repeat the target."
Zhang Yan replied, "Obtain a sample of stardust the size of a thumb, do not move the main body, do not trigger a red alert, and withdraw within four hours."
"Repeated evacuation principle".
"The anomaly has exceeded the system's red alert level. Deactivate."
"The door is structurally unstable due to debris; evacuate."
"If you are discovered, prioritize disengagement and avoid engaging in firefight."
Nie Qingcheng said, "Okay."
One o'clock in the morning.
The facility lights have entered maintenance mode.
Qin Xiao lowered his voice.
"The loop begins."
Zhang Yan stood up.
The three sets of components for the Thousand Machine Arm were silently assembled in his hands, fitting snugly against the arm.
He walked to the door.
The first electronic lock.
The robotic arm inserts into the gap and disengages in three seconds.
The second corridor is under surveillance.
Qin Xiao takes over the 15-second blind spot.
"Walk."
Zhang Yan pushed open the door and went out.
There was no one in the corridor.
He walked through the three-story material area and came to the fire escape on the east side.
Palmprint lock.
Zhang Yan unfolded the Thousand Machine Arm and disassembled the outer shell from the side of the lock body.
Nie Qingcheng asked, "How long will it take?"
"Twenty-two seconds."
Qin Xiao said, "The patrol team will reach the end of the corridor in one minute and forty seconds."
Zhang Yan said, "That's enough."
The lock is open.
He went into the stairwell and down.
In front of the fourth-floor isolation door.
Iris and palm print.
Qin Xiao said, "This is difficult to handle because the data is not connected to the network."
Zhang Yan raised the Thousand Machine Arm.
"The mechanical layer can be bypassed."
The multi-arm extends into the door frame.
A thin needle pierced deep into the lock cylinder.
Guan Xing suddenly said, "Zhang Yan, there is an abnormally low temperature behind the fourth door."
"How many?"
Minus 27.
Nie Qingcheng immediately asked, "Is the protective gear you brought sufficient?"
"enough."
Click.
The door was opened.
A surge of cold air emanated from the room.
Zhang Yan went inside.
The four-story isolation zone was completely empty.
The wall material began to change.
It is neither modern concrete nor steel.
Zhang Yan reached out and touched it.
The system pops up a message: The material is from the same source as the inner wall of the first door, it was not cut by human tools, and there are no processing marks on the surface.
He synchronized the video feed back.
Qin Xiao cursed.
"They really built the lab on the doorway."
Nie Qingcheng's voice deepened.
"Don't stop for too long."
"Um."
At the end of the fourth floor, there is a maintenance shaft.
Zhang Yan opened the cover and slid down the shaft.
Sixteen meters.
Twenty-four meters.
Thirty-one meters.
He landed on the fifth floor passageway.
It's colder here.
The wall surface was so smooth that there were no seams.
Qin Xiao whispered, "Brother Yan, there are three hours and twenty-seven minutes left in the maintenance window."
"receive."
At the end of the passage was a black round door.
There is no keyboard.
There are no handles.
There is no line.
Zhang Yan stood in front of the door.
The heart of divine craftsmanship automatically lit up in my chest.
Nie Qingcheng immediately asked, "What's wrong?"
"It recognized it."
The stargazing sound became noticeably strained for the first time.
"Don't force it open. If the lock reacts negatively, retreat first."
Zhang Yan took out the Heart of Heavenly Craftsmanship and placed it close to the door.
The next second, fine runes appeared on the door.
System prompt: Third door auxiliary maintenance container, authorized key confirmed.
Click.
The door opened inwards.
Zhang Yan looked at the space behind the door and paused for a second.
Nie Qingcheng asked, "Did you see it?"
Zhang Yan said, "I saw it."
In the center of the warehouse, a black-gold meteorite is suspended by a metal support.
Its surface is covered with runes.
It's more complete than in the photo.
It's also quieter.
Zhang Yan went inside.
The door closed silently behind me.
Qin Xiao's voice tightened.
"The door is closed!"
Zhang Yan said, "It won't affect anything."
Nie Qingcheng lowered her voice.
"Zhang Yan".
"I am here."
"Keep in touch."
"Um."
Zhang Yan arrived in front of the meteorite.
The Thousand-Machine Arm unfolds its miniature cutting head.
System scan.
The target contains stardust. Its purity meets the requirements for repairing the first fracture.
Recommended sample weight: 72 grams.
Zhang Yan said in a low voice, "Begin sampling."
The cutting was silent.
The meteorite's surface was encased in the "Heart of Nature," preventing the debris from dissipating.
Extremely fine golden powder floated out from the cut surface and was collected into a sealed container.
Nie Qingcheng asked, "Progress?"
31 grams.
Qin Xiao said, "The patrol system will be restored in two hours and forty-six minutes."
47 grams.
Guan Xing said, "The fluctuations in the gate are very slight; it's stable for now."
63 grams.
Nie Qingcheng did not urge her.
She only asked one question.
"Is your hand steady?"
Zhang Yan said, "Stable."
"That's good."
Seventy-two grams.
System notification: Sampling complete.
Zhang Yan did not take more.
He used a low-power pulse to cover the incision with his ingenious technique.
The cut marks slowly smoothed out.
Qin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
"This works?"
Zhang Yan said, "It's just smoothing out the surface, not repairing it."
Nie Qingcheng asked, "Can we leave now?"
"Wait a moment."
"Zhang Yan".
"Ten seconds."
Zhang Yan went around to the back of the warehouse.
There is a wall there.
There was a line of text engraved on the wall.
It's not French.
It is not a modern script.
The system translation popped up quickly.
Fragments of the Third Gate.
Do not move.
Zhang Yan stared at those two words.
When Nie Qingcheng heard him stop, her voice immediately turned cold.
"What did you see?"
Zhang Yan transmitted the image back.
The communication channel went completely silent.
Qin Xiao whispered, "Don't move it?"
The stargazer's voice was deep and resonant.
"This is not a warning to ordinary people."
Nie Qingcheng said, "Zhang Yan, let's retreat first."
Zhang Yan looked at the meteorite.
"Um."
He turned and walked towards the door.
But just as he raised his hand to touch the door, a new prompt suddenly popped up in the system.
Deep-seated records were detected in the container.
The latest unauthorized activator's identity fragment is being completed.
