Chapter 1062
"The pyramids are actually bases built by an ancient civilization from Earth that has long perished . Although the original versions they built have disappeared in the flow of time, the Egyptians imitated these "miraculous works" and passed it down . The only reason for the popularity of this architectural structure in the Empire is that the pyramid-shaped buildings have the power to gather positive energy from the universe, and most importantly, these energies have a positive effect on the human body . "
Major General Fiji smiled and took a sip of water before he continued, "It sounds amazing, but the theory is actually really simple . If you want to make a whirlpool, just poke a hole under a basin full of water -- similarly, if you imagine the positive energy in the universe as water, then the pyramid is the broken basin . It's just a tool that conforms to the special law of the positive energy in the universe . "
"And the reason you would have a mysterious feeling is that you don't know anything about the energy of the universe . A man from a primitive era would feel the same if he suddenly saw a lion being killed by a gun; he would also feel that the gun is really mysterious . "
Sheyan's eyes narrowed slightly . Major General Fiji was truly a talkative person and had been friendly enough to him, but when Sheyan heard the metaphor the Major General made in the end, he could feel a slight sense of ridicule in it for some reason . He immediately became a bit more vigilant .
By this time, Major General Fiji's spacecraft had passed the identity scanning and had flown into the pyramid . There were, of course, no huge stones, spider webs, dark rooms and infiltrating yellow sands inside the huge pyramid . Instead, the interior was neat, bright and orderly . After getting off the spacecraft, they went through a routine inspection . Then, the military police led the way to the depths of the base .
Surrounding the parking apron was a maze of criss-crossing corridors . The floor of the corridors was so clean that they were shining . If no one was there to show Sheyan the way, getting lost was inevitable .
Every now and then, they would pass by some civilian staff in uniforms walking nervously along the corridors . When the civilian staff saw the group, they would stop to salute . Every few meters in the corridors were placed green potted plants that had thick green leaves and looked full of vitality . A fresh fragrance permeated through the air .
After about five minutes' walk, they reached an elevator under the lead of the military police . Sheyan noticed that the destination selected was the 27th floor . Evidently, the higher up in the pyramid, the smaller the useable area, but the larger the amount of "positive cosmic energy" that could be gathered .
The 27th floor was not that high up, but it was absolutely not low either . From this, Sheyan could tell that the higher-ups had attached quite some importance to the operation this time . At least, they were not being sent out to be cannon fodders .
After reaching the 27th floor, Major General Fiji led Sheyan to the door of room 501 .
"I'm really sorry, Lieutenant Colonel, but please understand that the resources of Alps Base 7 are limited . This is already the best accomodation we can provide . From now until the end of the mission, you will be sharing a room with another contestant," the Major General told Sheyan .
Sheyan smiled and replied, "That's not a problem at all, sir . "
Sheyan then received some things from the military police stationed nearby . It seemed that the training would take a few days at least, so Sheyan was allocated a temporary access card . This card would not only be his ID, it also contained a certain amount of credit (similar to currency) according to Sheyan's military rank . Naturally, it also afforded Sheyan the additional privileges of a Lieutenant Colonel of the Empire .
After Sheyan opened the door, he saw that the room was already occupied by another contestant . He was sitting beside the bed and he was wearing a white headgear which covered his whole body, giving him a vibe of mysterious aloofness . He turned his head when he heard the door open .
The eyes of the two men met, and an exclamation of surprise escaped their mouths at the same time .
"It's you?"
The person in front Sheyan right now was none other than Reef's acquaintance and Zi's former subordinate, Aldaris!
To meet an acquaintance from the same Nightmare Realm in this distant land was truly a pleasant surprise -- not so pleasant that they would cry out with joy, of course, but enough for them to forget any minor ill feelings between them . Besides, there was no conflict between Sheyan and Aldaris before, was there?
This was also the first time Aldaris was performing this kind of mission, so the two had a deep discussion . Aldaris was a reserve-duty Lieutenant General, so he was not directly notified like Sheyan was . He only managed to obtain the opportunity through a lottery draw after completing a difficult military rank mission .
