Whoa-!
The elevator started moving.
It didn’t look like there were no windows, but I could tell by feeling that they were going up.
Soon after, the number BT 522 appeared on the top display and the elevator door opened.
“Well. How is it different from before?”
These were the words Taejeong muttered as she walked out and looked around.
Once he made his way to the burrow on the other side via the connected bridge.
Before crossing the bridge, the tunnel, which was thought to be quite deep, was blocked sooner than expected.
A steel door tightly closed.
With a groove in the middle and buttons and levers on the left side, it was clear that it was a door to the inside.
“Let’s see. Do you want to press this?”
Taejeong pressed various things without asking.
Then, at some point, the small display turned on and the word welcome came to mind along with a smiling hologram.
At the same time, with the sound of wind escaping, the door moved left and right, revealing an inner passage.
“Five.”
The aisle was very bright as if it had been plastered with leds.
Even so, the eyes had no problem adjusting.
After walking through the aisle, there was a fairly large space that looked like a lobby.
You can see plants and small furniture that looks like a desk.
As I was looking around curiously, I suddenly felt someone from behind.
At the same time, Taejeong, who had summoned a lightsaber, jumped up and looked back.
It was a small object that caught his eye beyond his surprise.
No, it was a plate-like object in the form of a pure white disk.
“What.”
At Tae-jeong’s words, the floating disc lit up once, and soon a familiar language flowed from it.
-Are you Korean?
“uh? uh. But, what are you?”
-I am Etty, the guide robot in BT 522 area.
“A guide robot? Etty?”
– This is the first time I’ve seen you, what kind of business did you come here for?
“me? what am i just… I thought I’d do some sightseeing. But is there anyone here? Am I not alone?”
-A total of nine engineers are using this place.
At Etty’s words, Tae-jeong called Gerard.
“Looks like I’m not the only one here.”
-The settings are just that. There are no humans here other than Master.
“okay?”
After hearing the explanation from Gerard, Taejeong asked Etty again.
“Okay, Etty. What are you doing here? Is it a lodging?”
-That’s right. BT 522 is a Gold class with a total of 11 rooms. Nine of them are already occupied, and the other two are vacant.
“An engineer would be a technician, but what are they making?”
– You do not have the right to give me such an answer.
Taejeong asked with a smile at the somehow familiar answer.
“Are you Gerard II?”
-Gerard II? I’m not sure what that is.
“done. Can I take a look at your room?”
– We will guide you to the vacant room.
Following Etty’s guidance, Taejeong entered another passage inside and saw 11 doors in the shape of a wall, just like at the entrance.
As Etty stood on the first wall, the door opened left and right, revealing the inside.
-This is a comfortable environment with a gold class rating… … .
“Okay, you go. Because I want to see you quietly.”
-All right. Call us whenever you need us.
After Etty disappeared, Taejeong looked inside the room.
I thought it would be a great room because it was a gold class, but the configuration was surprisingly simple.
It was almost the same as a modern studio, with a bed, a desk, a sofa, and a display of unknown use.
“Nothing.”
After leaving the room and standing in the hallway, Taejeong glanced at the entrance to the aisle, then stood in front of the door to another room.
It was to enter the room used by the engineers.
“Still, if you’re an engineer, you might have something that might give you a clue. But how do you open it?”
No matter how hard I looked outside the door, there were no buttons or consoles to operate.
It was literally a door that looked like a wall, without that common keyhole.
Eventually, he had no choice but to come out into the lobby and find Etty.
“I’d like to see some other rooms, is that possible?”
– I’ll show you the rest of the vacancy.
“no. I don’t think you need to see that. I want to see some of the rooms people are using.”
-That’s impossible. This room is only available to the engineer.
“They aren’t here anyway.”
-A total of nine engineers are using it.
“No?”
-I’m sorry, but this place is a gold class… … .
Tae-jeong sighed at the guy repeating the same answer, but eventually took a special measure.
Zwang-!
Aiming his lightsaber, he warned Etty.
“I am a bit busy. let’s do it roughly I’ll just see you for a second.”
– Plasma prototype spherical lightsaber. confirmed. Do you really intend to destroy me with it?
“I know.”
– The use of weapons in civilian areas is prohibited.
“Count to three. one two… … .”
– Let me guide you.
Surprisingly, the guy gave in easily.
Since it is not an important facility, the program did not seem to be very complicated.
Nine doors opened like that.
Once inside, Taejeong was able to collect several items of clothing and various materials on the desk.
“Five. What engine does this look like? what is written Try translating it.”
-It seems to be about the ion engine.
“Ion engine? never heard of it? Well, I don’t even know the engines of the world now, so how can I know the engines of 600 years from now?”

Judging from the data translated through Gerard, the engineers here seemed to be in a pretty high position overseeing the overall work of the rocket engine.
Of course, this was an estimate.
In fact, the word “rocket” did not even exist, but it was a projectile that was roughly guessed and hit.
“I don’t think this is the case for now, seeing as the Basilisk’s ‘bar’ doesn’t even come out.”
Since he entered without any expectations, he came out coolly and boarded the elevator again.
“Gerard, translate all the English and text on the button here. If I go around every single one of these, I won’t be able to leave before I die.”
-All right. Please wait a moment.
At Taejeong’s order, Gerard started translating everything from the first row on the left to the 252nd row on the bottom right.
A few of them, presumably important, caught on his radar.
[Central control room]
[Comprehensive weapons management facility]
[National Guard Integrated Military Warehouse]
[Space Allied Administration Office]
[Technology Development Bureau]
“First of all, these five places are suspicious. Where should I go?”
Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm
Just by looking at the name, all 5 places seemed important.
After pondering for a moment, his index finger pressed against the General Weapons Management Facility.
Maybe this one is a bit closer.
The elevator carrying him began to descend.
Wheein-!
ding!
The elevator, which descended with a hum, stopped with a mechanical sound.
The door opened and the first thing I saw was a passageway blocked on all sides.
First off, this wasn’t unusual.
Even the BT 522, which seems to have a fairly good grade, was a poor bridge with no railings.
It felt like a tunnel had been dug through, as if it was perfectly integrated with the other side.
“There must really be something here.”
Filled with anticipation, he walked down the aisle.
Did it go halfway through?
Beep-!
[warning! Access is prohibited except for administrators. Please have your rank card with you for access.]
Taejeong stopped walking at the warning sound that came out of nowhere and let out a giggly smile as if she knew that would happen.
“There’s no way I installed this for nothing. It looks like there should be a card. Gerard.”
– Yes, master.
“Normally there will be a guard guarding a place like this.”
-That’s right.
“But am I the only one here? Can’t I just pass by?”
-Are you asking for my opinion, or are you looking for an answer?
“Anyway, the answer is that you won’t talk about your authority. Tell me what you think.”
– Then I don’t think there will be any problem if you just pass by.
“The grounds?”
– Just my thoughts.
“Well, you, who are smarter than humans, must have calculated it.”
After receiving Gerard’s advice, Tae-jeong started walking again.
Then another beep sounded.
[warning! Access is prohibited except for administrators. Carry your rank card for access. warning! warning!]
The more you walk, the more urgent the warning sound.
Tae-jeong’s heart became impatient for no reason.
Did it come half way back like that?
Squeak!
bang!
With a tremendous roar, a huge barrier came down in front of him.
Shocked by the sight, Taejeong fell backwards and spat out curses at the moment.
“Fuck!”
It took a moment to clear the surprised heart.
he shouted at Gerard.
“hey! what’s this!?”
Gerard did not answer his question.
But that didn’t really matter.
I am so surprised that this situation is just absurd.
It was a situation where it was almost crushed by the wall.
Taejeong, who had barely calmed down, opened her mouth again.
“Gerard, you really are a bad guy.”
– Why do you do that?
“You knew this would come out. But you think there won’t be any problems?”
Gerard had no right to speak, but in fact it was as if he knew everything.
Nevertheless, it is an opinion and what I put out is moving forward.
Those words meant nothing more than to say that they would soon die.
However, Gerard said it calmly, as if it had nothing to do with it.
– Of course I have data about this place. But I can’t tell you anything, I just gave you an answer because you asked for my opinion separately.
It really couldn’t have been an absurd answer.
“Then I’ll just say I don’t know. If I had gone a few more steps, I would have been crushed.”
Shaking off his shocked heart, Taejeong looked at the unknown barrier right in front of her.
At first glance, it looked solid, but it was not the concrete wall material he knew.
“Security in the 2600s is beyond imagination. If you don’t know how to look good, you’ll just become dough. It means that this place is important. By the way, how do I do it now? If I destroy this, won’t there be another unexpected situation?”
Gerard answered Taejeong’s muttering.
-The obstacle to reaching the boudoir through this place is one barrier.
“Trick me again?”
– This is not my opinion, this is a fact based on data.
Now, there was a high probability that Gerard’s words were true.
no, that’s for sure
For what has already happened has never been wrong.
However, because of what had just happened, trust in him had collapsed.
“I’m very anxious.”
Taejeong, who was muttering something, started cloaking in case of an unexpected situation.
At the same time, Spear Blades were summoned in both his hands.
