128: Hive base laser defense system, T5 biochemical laboratory, satellite launch silo

Long Yubing fell silent at his words, falling into deep internal conflict.

To be honest,

compared to the arduous military life, she still preferred the life of an ordinary person.

Moreover, she had always been at odds with her father, even hating him to death.

If Long Yingtian hadn't forced her to enlist back then,

she would probably still be a young girl, perhaps even attending university.

Joining the army was Long Yingtian's dream,

not Long Yubing's.

Long Yubing had argued with her father countless times over this... Long Yubing compared military life with ordinary life.

She found that joining Suihuo Technology was quite good.

At least she wouldn't have to face her ruthless father, and she wouldn't have to worry about one day not returning from a mission...

After careful consideration,

Long Yubing felt that she still preferred to live a normal life rather than be a trained soldier.

"I... I am willing to leave the mysterious organization and join Suihuo Technology." Long Yubing deliberated for a long time, seemingly mustering great courage to speak these words.

But once she said them, it felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from her heart, and she felt much lighter... Hearing Long Yubing's reply,

Lu Xingye was quite pleased, a rare smile appearing on his perpetually unchanging handsome face.

He genuinely considered Long Yubing one of his own,

which was why he invited her to join the Honeycomb Base.

"Good."

"Excellent, excellent, excellent..."

"I truly didn't misjudge you."

Lu Xingye laughed heartily, then added, "As for your father, Long Yingtian, you don't need to worry; I will communicate with him then."

Relying on the Air Gun and Air Cannon, Suihuo Technology had already made a name for itself as an arms dealer, holding significant influence in Jiuzhou.

It was no exaggeration to say:

Suihuo Technology was no longer just a commercial company.

It had the strength to converse with Long Yingtian.

"Mm."

Long Yubing nodded gently, her eyes subtly glancing at Lu Xingye, her face slightly flushed.

After she joined Suihuo Technology,

she would be Lu Xingye's person.

Ah~ Ptooey.

Not his person, but his employee.

"Since you've chosen to join Suihuo Technology, come with me; I'll show you something." Lu Xingye smiled faintly.

He wasn't the kind of person who believed everything others said.

Nor was he a naive fool

who would tell Long Yubing everything.

He knew very well what secrets could be revealed and what couldn't.

For now, he would only show Long Yubing some less important things.

Even if she acted deceptively and exposed these to the military, it wouldn't be a problem.

As for deeper secrets, those would have to wait until time revealed her true intentions.

After all,

the human heart is the most unpredictable thing.

It must be tempered by time to be truly understood.

The place he was taking Long Yubing was where the satellite launch silo was about to be built.

The Honeycomb Base was completed.

It was also time to build the satellite launch silo.

In Lu Xingye's eyes,

building a satellite launch silo wasn't really a secret.

Anyway, when the satellites were launched into space, they would need to be reported to Long Yingtian.

If not reported, any unknown satellite launching into space would be shot down... Since it would be exposed sooner or later,

it might as well be shown to Long Yubing now, letting her know the power of Suihuo Technology.

At the same time, this was also a loyalty test... They first arrived at the Biometric Detection Center.

This was the only entrance to the Honeycomb Base's underground laboratory, with layers of biometric detection set up at the entrance; only employees whose biometrics perfectly matched could enter.

"Facial recognition..."

"Iris recognition..."

"Palm print recognition..."

"Access card... a key with over a hundred digits..."

After all these verifications passed, they entered an elevator leading to the underground laboratory, where biometric verification was still required.

If any biometrics didn't match, the Honeycomb Base's automatic defense system would activate, eliminating intruders at the fastest speed.

The elevator was very fast.

Its speed basically exceeded 50 meters per second, but even so, they rode the elevator for some time before reaching their destination.

One could imagine

how deep the underground section of the Honeycomb Base was.

Beep beep... As soon as they exited the elevator, a barrage of infrared rays came at them; this was also a method of biometric detection.

A moment later,

a cold, synthesized electronic voice sounded.

"Welcome, Commander."

"Temporarily disable the defense system." Lu Xingye said calmly.

Because Long Yubing did not have access permissions within the Honeycomb Base.

If the defense system remained active, it could easily cause trouble.

"Understood, Commander."

As the cold, synthesized electronic voice sounded, the corresponding defense system was disabled.

Lu Xingye then led Long Yubing towards the satellite launch silo.

Along the way, they passed several key laboratories, which greatly astonished Long Yubing.

For example:

"T5 Biochemical Laboratory"

"Communication Satellite Research Center"

"Space-Based Weapon Development Center"

...This... am I walking into the future?

Why does it feel like a sci-fi novel?

Long Yubing walked inside the Honeycomb Base, feeling as if she was in the future, utterly awestruck.

Because the underground section of the Honeycomb Base had only recently been completed, many laboratories were empty. Aside from the dense array of construction robots, no scientists had yet moved in.

"How is it?"

"This is the core part of our Honeycomb Base." Lu Xingye, with a slight smile, turned to look at Long Yubing.

"I'm impressed." Long Yubing replied blandly.

Heh heh!

Talking to you is so boring.

You're like an ice block.

Lu Xingye said awkwardly.

Then he continued to walk forward. Ahead was a laser corridor, and after passing through it, they would reach the satellite launch silo.

"What is this place?"

Walking through the laser corridor, Long Yubing's body instinctively felt an unpleasant shiver, as if there was an unknown, great terror here.

One wrong move and she might lose her life.

"Laser Corridor."

"If I hadn't shut down the defense system just now, you would be cut into pieces by the laser grid emitted from both ends if you walked here." Lu Xingye said calmly.

"..."

convex^-^ convex

How brutal!

Long Yubing felt a chill of fear at his words.

Her gaze remained fixed on the glowing parts of the wall, perhaps worried that lasers might shoot out from the wall and slice her into pieces.

Her legs felt weak, as if she couldn't muster any strength.

If Lu Xingye hadn't supported her, she might not have had the strength to walk out of the laser corridor.

After exiting the corridor,

Long Yubing looked back at the laser corridor, feeling a surge of relief. She had previously noticed anomalies underground multiple times; even though the surface buildings were almost complete, why were supplies still continuously being brought in?

She had also wanted to sneak in secretly

to find out what Suihuo Technology was doing.

Now it seemed she was fortunate not to have rashly infiltrated; otherwise, she wouldn't even know how she died.
