"What's the matter?
What's the matter with me? "The old man actually jumped up like a carp.
At this moment, Meng Yan, Four Eyes, and Mao Zi's eyes were fixed on him. Their style was quite elegant, but this old man's style was even more eye-catching.
Mr. Cuttle's height was estimated to be less than 1.6 meters. Li Yu was actually a little taller than him. His head was as big as a bucket. The top of his head was bald, but there was a tuft of hair on each side of his forehead that reached his shoulders. This hairstyle made the Four-eyed Russian feel inferior.
Cartel's beard was thick and dense, but his pair of small bright eyes were rolling around. Only this pair of eyes didn't make him look old.
He was wearing the Starlight Group's staff uniform. This uniform was a bit like a full set of jeans. The most amazing thing was his shoes. This pair of shoes was very big and had a unique shape because it seemed to be made of metal.
The left shoe looked like a European-style bathtub, while the right shoe looked like a high boot. Four Eyes couldn't help but mutter, "This person is a professor."
"How am I not?" Cartel's ears were very sharp. He shouted at Four Eyes, "Where did this wild brat come from?
Listen, I am an analyst, a statistician, a battle armor master, a data specialist, a particle expert, a professor of energy, a crystal maker, a database professor … "
He couldn't stop talking. Li Yu coughed lightly and said, "Mr. Cartel, this is Ding Meng. He is a level 3 VIP invited by our group."
Cartel was stunned. "So you are that Ding Meng?
What an ugly suit. "
Four Eyes was stunned. "Suit?
I'm wearing a f * cking suit. "
Mao Zi rolled his eyes. "Uncultured thing. That brand is called Anima. It is an old brand …"
"Cough cough!" Li Yu coughed lightly again. "Not this Mr. Shi, but him."
Cartel turned his head to look at Ding Meng. He was even more stunned. He didn't expect Ding Meng to be so young. How could such a young person obtain the Inverse Source Crystal?
"What's going on?
Why are you only here now? "
Cartel suddenly opened his mouth and scolded him. "I've been waiting for you for more than a month. Hurry up and open the container. Hurry!"
As he spoke, he turned around and walked towards the workbench. Ding Meng immediately nodded at Li Yu, meaning that he had completed his task and could leave.
Meng Yan and the other two planned to leave as well. After all, the true VIP was Ding Meng, not them. Besides, their minds were not here. This was the first time the three of them had entered the city. They had long since wanted to go out and experience this legendary city.
Li Yu smiled politely and said, "Mr. Ting, please let me know if you need anything."
Ding Meng nodded. "Okay!"
The workbench wasn't a holographic simulation system similar to the main control console. Instead, it was the most ancient and primitive long alloy table. There were a bunch of large and small machines on it. This cartel didn't seem to trust artificial intelligence systems.
As expected, the suitcase was stored here. Cartel quickly placed it on the workbench and said impatiently, "Hurry up."
Although his attitude wasn't very friendly, it suited Ding Meng's taste. The reason was very simple. Ding Meng was a straight man and didn't like to be long-winded. Being direct and straightforward was the way to do things.
After the liquid lock chip was inserted, the box-shaped lock immediately flashed and made a humming sound. A system voice immediately sounded from inside. "Please enter the password."
Ding Meng said, "Hello, my name is Ding Meng."
The system voice said, "Verifying the password. You have successfully unlocked the lock."
With another humming sound, the liquid lock's light disappeared and it fell to the sides.
Ding Meng was about to reach out his hand when Cartel suddenly stopped him. "What are you doing?
Do you think you can open it like this? "
Ding Meng was curious. "Can't I?"
"Of course not!" Cartel said as he walked over to the control console. His fingers quickly swiped on the screen.
Ding Meng was familiar with this action because he remembered that Xin Jie used a similar hand gesture when operating the spacecraft's main control console.
Following the command from the control console, the heavy door of R&D Department 9 slowly closed with a rumble. It was so tight that not even a crack could be seen.
Cartel yelled, "You idiot, if you really open the container with your bare hands, the special curvature wave of the inverse source crystal will immediately spread out in all directions. In space, quantum radars will be able to find the location in just half an hour. Then, countless people will come to snatch it …"
Ding Meng was puzzled. "But this isn't space."
"Retard and idiot!"
Cartel said disdainfully. "If I don't close the door, do you think the servers and detectors of other corporations won't be able to detect it?
This is confidential, a trade secret. If Sheng Hao Corporation finds out about it, I'll be derelict in my duties. Do you understand … "
He was indeed the kind of person who could not stop once he started talking. "Don't think that my workshop is broken and rundown. Let me tell you, the material of this house is a combination of mechanical particles from the frogmen nation and special fibers from the Starbow Corporation. As long as this door is completely closed, any kind of signal and wave will be blocked inside. The outside world will definitely not be able to detect it …"
"Then Skynet won't be able to find it either?" This was obviously Little Rascal teaching Ding Meng this question.
"Bah!" Cartel snorted. "Skynet?
How can it be called Skynet?
Do you think you can call yourself Skynet just because you have a few space stations and a large scale?
Which son of a b * tch came up with this design?
This old man stopped using it thirty years ago. It's so backward, so embarrassing … "
"Tsk tsk, this old man …" Little Rascal was also helpless. "I really don't know if he's bragging or not."
Xiao Ai said, "I don't think so!"
Ding Meng asked, "Why not?"
Xiao Ai said, "He's not lying. Now that the door is closed, even my detection system can't see through it."
Little Rascal hurriedly said, "Ding Meng, test your telekinetic vision."
Ding Meng nodded slightly. He exerted a little force with his eyes and a telekinetic wave spread out with a whoosh. What surprised him was not that his telekinetic vision could not see through the door. His telekinetic vision could still see through the five-meter-thick wall, but the effect was greatly reduced.
With Ding Meng's current brain development, his telekinetic vision could extend to a range of about 1200 meters. This was the sensory range. He could observe 360 degrees without any blind spots within 800 meters. This was the effective range. He could clearly hear any decibel fluctuations within 550 meters. Within 300 meters, he could coordinate his telekinetic micro dots with Little Rascal and the others' memory functions to perform all kinds of analysis.
But now, his sensory range could only extend to about 100 meters through the wall. The scenery outside was still the most primitive black and white. This situation had only appeared when he first awakened his vision in Black Gold Base.
This old man looked arrogant and conceited, but he did have some skills.
At this moment, Cartel had already put on a pair of tempered gloves. He used a pair of delicate tweezers to carefully remove the object from the container.
Ding Meng had been curious about this Inverse Source Crystal for a long time. Today, he finally got to see its true appearance.
It was a long object that was about the size of a lighter. However, it looked more like a small piece of transparent crystal. Its surface flowed with a wave-like shimmer. From time to time, it would emit a circle of white light with a tinge of yellow. Although the light was shockingly bright, Ding Meng didn't find it too dazzling.
This was because when the light swept over him, he actually felt his soul throb.
"Is this the Inverse Source Crystal?" Ding Meng carefully observed the crystal. At the same time, he focused his telekinetic vision on it.
The same scene occurred in the mining area of Cypress Old Planet. His telekinetic vision disappeared with a whoosh. This Inverse Source Crystal looked like a crystal, but it was actually like an invisible black hole in the depths of the universe. It had a fatal attraction to the objects around it. No matter what kind of scan or fluctuation it was, it would be sucked in at once.
"But does the Inverse Source Crystal have a curvature fluctuation?
Why can't we sense it? "Ding Meng was still puzzled.
Little Rascal explained, "I looked it up. There are two reasons. First, the Inverse Source Crystal is not something that low-level Origin Ability users can sense. This is because the fluctuations of ordinary Origin Ability users are too weak. When you examine it, you are actually charging it with energy. There are too many different kinds of energy, fluctuations, and matter in the universe. The Inverse Source Crystal is formed through a long period of absorption.
Second, the detection of the Inverse Source Crystal is also based on this principle. Although quantum radar is advanced, it uses a primitive method. It simply follows the frequency of the curvature fluctuation and then feeds back to the blind spots in the field of vision. Then, the system will automatically suspect that it is the Inverse Source Crystal. There are too many blind spots in the field of vision of Origin Ability users, and they are all different types. Naturally, they won't be able to discover it. Of course, experts who have reached a terrifying level of cultivation will definitely be able to distinguish it. "
Ding Meng couldn't help but secretly sigh. In the end, it was still because he was too weak.
Cartel was also observing the Inverse Source Crystal. "This Inverse Source Crystal that was excavated a hundred years ago is indeed different. It's much better than those man-made ones."
Ding Meng curiously asked, "What's different?"
Cartel glanced at him. "Cypress Planet is relatively close to us, but it was quite far away a hundred years ago. It was still considered an undeveloped planet. At that time, the Starbow Group excavated the Inverse Source Crystal that was naturally formed in space. Whether it's the quality or the quantity, it's much better than the man-made ones now."
Ding Meng pondered for a moment and said, "Mister Cartel, how does the Starbow Group plan to deal with this thing now?"
Cartel was obviously stumped by this question. The Inverse Source Crystal had too many uses. The first use was to store energy in the Kejia server. Next, it could be decomposed to be used in ships, reactors, battle armor, mechas, and other facilities. As for the cultivation of Origin Ability users, it would naturally be used in the Kejia server's virtual world.
Cartel naturally knew that the upper echelons had reached an agreement with Ding Meng. Ding Meng himself had priority to use the Inverse Source Crystal. Thus, he slowly asked, "Brat, how do you plan to use it?
Tell me what you think. "
