Chapter 289 3th Floor
The elevator doors opened, and a corpse suddenly collapsed inside. The group instinctively reached for their guns.
It was a male skeleton that had decomposed to the point of being just bones and clothes; there was nothing on his body that could identify him.
What is most noticeable is a bullet hole in his skull.
Then look at the gun next to him, and the answer is obvious.
An administrator committed suicide here.
They carefully stepped over the corpse and exited the elevator.
The motion-sensor lights automatically turned on, illuminating the entire floor one by one.
The interior of the 30th floor is a semi-circular structure, with a parallel wall on one side of the elevator and a curved wall on the other.
What are called walls are actually large storage shelves.
This area is divided into four zones.
The leftmost item contains military secrets, the middle item contains high-level personnel files and weapons arsenal information, and the rightmost item contains biological and chemical-related secrets.
Some biological research results that cannot be disseminated to the outside world are also stored here, so the biochemistry area is the most secure, it can be said to be encrypted layer by layer, and the preparations are completely sealed.
From where they are now, they can't even see the complete shape of that area.
However, Fang Ce and his group were not headed there.
Their main destination was the military secret zone on the left.
He used the key to unlock the electronic lock, and the circular door slowly opened from both sides, revealing the true face of the mountain inside.
The pure white intelligent rotary filing cabinet occupies 70% of the area, leaving only a control panel for them to operate.
All military secrets are hidden in cabinets embedded in the wall at the back, where the temperature, humidity, and weight are monitored 24 hours a day.
Any abnormal data will be recorded, and even if you want to retrieve these files, you need to go through multiple layers of identity verification before you can take them out.
If anyone tries to force their way into the cabinet, the machine gun on the ceiling will riddle them with bullets, and the smart cabinet will automatically lock itself within a short time, preventing anyone from opening it.
So once they entered this area, they couldn't touch anything except the control panel.
Otherwise, if the system detects it as an attack, then you'll be in trouble.
Just in case, Fang Ce decided to reduce the number of people going: "You all stay at the door for now. He An, come with me to get the documents."
"Yes," the group replied in unison.
Miao Yin leaned against the door behind her, watching Fang Ce's movements.
He carefully turned on the control panel, first authenticating as an administrator with his fingerprint, and then entering the password one by one.
After four authentication steps, the screen on the control panel finally showed a place to enter a serial number.
These files are stored here, each with a unique serial number and characters replacing the filename.
The serial number is used to distinguish the type of file, such as those related to nuclear components, those related to firearms, or parameters of precision parts.
Those characters are a unique cipher script in the arsenal, which displays the names of these documents through a graphic that only internal personnel can understand, thus confusing spies.
Even if foreign enemies do invade this place, they won't get what they want without entering the correct symbols.
Fang Ce took a deep breath and took out the codebook he had prepared beforehand.
Although none of the people in the armory escaped on the day of the apocalypse, these engineers, weapons manufacturers, and administrators would still occasionally go on business trips or come out to report on their work.
The military went to great lengths to rescue a senior engineer who was attending a secret meeting in the ancient capital.
Over the years, the cipher symbols in the armory have been updated to keep pace with the times. This senior engineer was one of the creators of the ciphers and also the architect of the armory's defense system.
This smart cabinet even contains some of his own technological achievements.
Upon learning that the military was going to enter the armory, the engineer wrote down everything he knew about the armory's internal defense system and their common symbols and codes in the notebook.
This engineer was also instrumental in overseeing this trip to the armory.
Now, Fang Ce only needs to follow the steps in the codebook and type out all these symbols to smuggle out the secrets the military needs.
The smart locker has no room for error; he has to type all the hundreds of symbols correctly in one go, otherwise the locker will lock and their trip will be in vain.
Because of his nervousness, he even took off his gas mask and hung it around his neck, and also took off his gloves to wipe his sweat.
He took a deep breath and began entering the corresponding serial number.
The page redirected, and suddenly hundreds of scribbles and a handwritten area appeared on the screen.
These symbols are difficult to remember because they are all different in shape. So if they can remember them, they can input them directly by handwriting. If they can't remember them, they can select them from the symbols on the left.
Fang Ce was unfamiliar with the order of these symbols, so he chose to write them by hand.
Each document's symbolic password is approximately three to ten characters long. The control panel pauses briefly after each password is completed before starting the verification process.
Once the verification is successful, the system will automatically retrieve the desired file and place it in the cabinet next to the control panel.
He An stood there, responsible for taking out all these secrets and putting them into his backpack.
Her backpack contained a rectangular box, waterproof, fireproof, and electronically locked, specifically designed to transport these documents and prevent them from being damaged en route.
Now that we've safely arrived here, we should take as much as we can.
Miao Yin estimated that Fang Ce would spend two hours just standing there entering the password, so she simply sat down to rest and pulled Tu Hao down with her.
She rested her chin on her hand, and ideas popped into her head.
"Tell me, if I take all these classified documents and use them to threaten Old Master Lu, could I get something good in return?"
Tu Hao: ?
He even considered the possibility for a moment before rejecting Miao Yin's idea.
"The most valuable things in the base right now are crystal cores and weapons. You've already taken half of the crystal cores, and you don't lack weapons either. What else can you get?"
Even supplies were not lacking for Miao Yin.
The Dream City base can no longer provide what she wants.
"Boring. I was originally planning to rob all these documents and sell them."
The mercenaries' profit-driven minds also began to work.
"You can try to take out the secrets they can't take. If they can use these weapon blueprints to build something good, you can exchange them for other secrets. That's not a bad idea."
He pointed to the wall next to him: "Isn't that biological and chemical data? They're not taking those right now because the blueprints in this room are more important. If the armory were safer, they would definitely have emptied the 30th floor of data."
"You know, biological weapons are far more powerful than guns and ammunition. The more these mutants evolve, the less effective the weapons become. If we could research and develop a toxin specifically targeting mutants from this data, its value would be immense."
He spoke with great confidence and authority, much like when he used to negotiate with a group of wealthy men at the table, completely ignoring the increasingly terrified looks on the faces of the three people next to him.
“You make a good point.” Miao Yin stroked her chin thoughtfully.
"However, the armory is heavily guarded. Without the password, we can't get those things normally. We'd have to destroy this place, which would cause a huge commotion."
"Why don't you just burn this place down with your pyre? I just don't know if it has a self-destruct mechanism. It would be a shame if it exploded on its own."
Standing to the side, Fu Simian couldn't stand it anymore: "Are you guys joking?"
Miao Yin exclaimed, as if she had just remembered there were other people nearby: "Of course we were just joking."
Just as Fu Simian breathed a sigh of relief, she heard her say, "But it always feels like I have something good right beside me but can't get it, and I'm going to lose an opportunity to make things difficult for Elder Lu. It's such a pity."
Three people:?
Miao Yin smiled sweetly: "I'll think about it."
