The next morning, the Rainbow Family's transport boat brought Xueyan and Ren Tianlan to the lobby of the Azure Sea and Clear Sky Hotel.
It had been many years since Ding Meng had last seen his two seniors. Xueyan and Ren Tianlan gave Ding Meng the impression that they were in good health. It was obvious that they were living comfortably in the capital. Ding Meng could even sense that Ren Tianlan was about to break through to become a War Monarch.
"Aunty Xue, Elder Ren, long time no see!" Ding Meng took the initiative to approach them.
Ren Tianlan laughed heartily. "Ha, Ding Meng, we missed you so much. You've really made us proud. I didn't expect you to have done so many amazing things in the past ten years."
It was easy for them to know about Ding Meng's movements because Xueyan and Meng Yan had always kept in touch. Xueyan was very concerned about Xiao Wei and the others.
Xueyan smiled and said, "Ding Meng, you've finally come to the capital."
Ding Meng scratched his head in embarrassment. "Aunty Xue, I'm sorry to have caused you so much trouble."
Xueyan smiled and said, "Don't say that.
It's our honor to be able to share some of your burden. "
After a round of greetings and introductions, Xueyan and Ren Tianlan did not show any surprise to Ji Chenxue. What had these two seniors not experienced in their lives?
They maintained an appropriate distance and courtesy toward this goddess of the empire.
The transport boat quickly took off from the hotel's helipad and headed east. Only then did Ding Meng find out that Kobayashi's research institute wasn't in the capital city, nor was it in the outskirts. Instead, it was on an island in the east. It was a full 6,000 kilometers away from Saint Splendor City.
As soon as they set off from the coastline, Ding Meng realized that there were armed spaceships constantly guiding the transport boat. They would change after a certain distance. There were also small multipurpose spaceships following them on the surface and underwater. The Skynet space station in space locked its quantum radar directly onto the transport boat. It was obvious that it was monitoring them.
Xueyan explained, "Xiaolin's research institute is one of the Federation's S-class restricted military zones. It's usually heavily guarded, and it's forbidden to fly without a special pass. Ding Meng, we're also basking in the glory of Old Master Xia. Without his permission, Lin Kejia himself would not have allowed us to pass."
"S-class restricted military zone?"
Ding Meng was puzzled. This level was already very high. In other words, it was a "no man's land", a place where ordinary people were forbidden to exist.
Ren Tianlan smiled and said, "Part of the Federation's Kejia server cluster is set up in the research institute. The main server is the Federal Empire's Star Wars League server. At the same time, a node of the international space network is also set up in the research institute. In other words, we've come to the safest place in the entire Federation."
Ding Meng quickly saw it. Above the boundless azure ocean, there was a small jade green island that was like a pearl embedded in the center of the ocean, and it seemed mysterious and moving.
The area of the island was not considered large. Other than the airport, there was only an S-shaped five-story exquisite technological building entrenched in the shade. This was the pinnacle temple in the eyes of all the data masters of the Federal Empire. Those who could work in this building were all the elites of the elites, the powerhouses of the powerhouses.
Today's weather was very bright. The sun shone on the airport, and three people were already standing by the runway to welcome them.
Before they could see the people clearly, Ding Meng and Ji Chenxue's faces turned ugly. Their telekinesis had created a black blind zone in their vision. Xin Jie did not make random predictions. There was a very powerful applied telekinesis warlock waiting for them on the ground.
The spaceship came to a stop, and the first person to greet them was a professional woman who was dressed simply and energetically. She was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, a pair of high-tech low-light glasses on the bridge of her nose, and her hair was tied up high. She was not a stunning beauty, but her temperament was extremely outstanding. One look and one could tell that she was specialized in academic research. In her capable spirit, she had a quiet, intellectual, and unique impression.
This person was Lin Kejia, because the blind zone was created by her. If one did not see it with one's own eyes, it would be hard to believe that this was a woman more than 100 years old.
"Sister Xue, Senior Ren!"
Lin Kejia's eyes were a little red. "I always thought that all of you had left. After half a century, I only found out yesterday that all of you were still alive."
Xueyan also sighed. "If we had not met Ding Meng back then, we would not have been able to meet again in this lifetime."
Lin Kejia calmed her emotions and then carefully sized up Ding Meng. Her eyes were full of admiration. "The younger generation will surpass us in time. I didn't expect that our Holy Grail Federation would have such a talented young man like you."
Ding Meng could only lower his head. "Hello, Senior Lin!"
Lin Kejia smiled. "Don't call me senior. Just call me Lin Kejia."
Ding Meng said modestly, "I wouldn't dare!"
Lin Kejia smiled playfully. "Ding Meng, I've heard a lot about you. You're very impressive. Welcome to the research institute as a guest …"
While Lin Kejia and Ding Meng were chatting, Ji Chenxue was secretly observing the man and woman beside Lin Kejia. They both looked quite young. The female assistant did not look out of the ordinary, but the male assistant gave Ji Chenxue a shock. He could not see through the man in a suit. If he could not see through him, it meant that his strength was not below his own.
Ji Chenxue scanned his surroundings again. When he was here, he did not see such a strong security force on this island.
As they talked, Lin Kejia led the group into the interior of the research institute. Actually, there was nothing special about the research institute. After entering through the door on the first floor, they were greeted by a business lobby that was similar to a lobby. The area was very small, and visitors would basically stop here. Because the other floors of the research institute were strictly confidential, Lin Kejia still led everyone upstairs.
This time, Ji Chenxue was excluded. After all, she was still a citizen of the Empire and used to be the president of Beidou. With her status, it was not appropriate for her to go upstairs for a tour.
The second floor was a multi-purpose accommodation floor. It was a bit like a hotel. It was the resting area for the staff and temporary rooms for the visitors. The third floor was the information center. It was decorated in a style similar to the command center of a starship. There were 35 staff members here, and all of them were authoritative elites in their respective fields. Their job was to process all kinds of information, so there was nothing out of the ordinary about it.
The fourth and fifth floors were connected together. There was a super impressive server installed here. Just its size alone took up two floors of space, which was enough to show how big it was.
Lin Kejia introduced, "The basic information about the Saint Planet's population, organizations, operations, regions, public transportation, energy sources, and other basic information is basically all gathered here. The Star Wars Carnival that will be held this year is also in this server. Ding Meng, I heard that you're going to participate as well. I'm really looking forward to your highlight moment …"
"Oh?" Ding Meng asked curiously, "Why?"
Lin Kejia smiled and said, "I can tell you something in private. I don't know how many mystery gift boxes the government has prepared this year, but I know that among those gifts, there are things that will be very helpful to Origin Ability Users and Warlocks. I see that you're also a Warlock, so your ranking won't be low."
Ding Meng smiled and said, "You make me want to participate right away."
Although he was smiling, he was not in a good mood. This was because he had discovered a problem. He did not know what kind of rare materials this research facility was built with. His telekinetic vision could not even see through the steel plates around him, and he could not analyze the material. This was because both telekinetic waves and telekinetic strings would be reflected as soon as they came into contact with the steel plates. Of course, this could be explained as the research facility being kept secret.
As such, he decided to tell the truth. "Senior Lin, I just used my applied vision to investigate a bit, and I discovered that telekinesis cannot be used in this building. Why is that?"
Lin Kejia smiled slightly. "The research facility is a sizable database for the Federation government, after all, so it has to be kept secret. This building is made of a special metal from the frogman nation. Telekinesis, perception, detection, and even magic poisons from the Devouring World are all blocked and blocked."
Ding Meng said, "So that's how it is!"
After touring the entire floor, the group returned to the first floor. Next, it was mainly Xueyan and Lin Kejia catching up with each other. The day passed quickly, and an exquisite dinner was prepared in the restaurant on the second floor. Lin Kejia warmly invited Xueyan to stay for dinner. According to the plan, they were going to stay the night and leave early the next morning.
Since there was nothing to be gained, Ding Meng was not in the mood to enjoy the food. After dinner, he returned to the room that had been prepared for him on the second floor. This room was the standard guest room for all three cabins. Ding Meng and Ji Chenxue each had their own room, but now that Ji Chenxue had come to his room, the two of them naturally had to exchange their opinions.
"You still haven't found anything?" Ji Chenxue asked.
Ding Meng sat on the sofa and shook his head.
Ji Chenxue sighed and said, "Maybe we made a mistake. The problem might be with Sheng Hao and Xinghong."
Ding Meng pondered and said, "No, I keep feeling that there's something wrong with this place."
Ji Chenxue said, "What's the problem?"
Ding Meng said, "Although the super Kejia server here is related to the Star Wars League, the security is so tight. If I want to get the internal data of the server, what should I do?"
Ji Chenxue laughed and said, "Maybe only a top hacker like Xin Jie can do it."
Ding Meng smiled bitterly and said, "With such a large number of Kejia servers, and a data master like Lin Kejia himself, the defense of the space network here must be extremely powerful. I'm guessing that even if ten hackers like Brother Jie worked together, they wouldn't be able to get in."
Ji Chenxue agreed. "That's true!"
Ding Meng suddenly raised his head and said, "But, this doesn't explain why the telekinetic waves can't even penetrate the walls of the building."
Ji Chenxue's eyes lit up. "You mean, there's something hidden here?"
Ding Meng's eyes were like torches. "But during the day, we toured the entire building and didn't find anything strange."
Ji Chenxue finally understood. The problem wasn't on the surface, but underground. Because even if you had a magical telekinetic vision and could see the buildings on the surface with your naked eyes, you wouldn't be able to see the specific situation underground. The super Kejia server on the fourth or fifth floor was so large. Where was the energy it needed to operate?
Where was its power source?
The answer was obvious. It came from deep underground!
