Chapter 97: The Experimental Graveyard

*Rumble...*

Liu Di pushed open the long-sealed glass door.

By now, the sun had finally set, plunging the earth into darkness.

In front of him was a vast, circular space.

His vision was blurred, with only vague outlines visible—rows of towering shelves stretching deep into the shadows.

It looked somewhat like a library, but the shelves were at least three times larger!

In Liu Di's right eye, the eerie purple glow suddenly faded, replaced by a purple ring!

The ring spun slowly, its brightness waxing and waning like a living, breathing entity!

Liu Di walked slowly among the shelves, his footsteps echoing.

"Motong," Liu Di called softly.

"I'm here!" Motong's voice came through, sounding as if it had just woken up and was lazily stretching.

In the next moment, a *click* echoed...

The sound of the circuit breaker being flipped!

*Swish...*

A corner of the ceiling lit up with a bright incandescent light!

Then, as Liu Di walked, the lights in the entire space turned on one by one, illuminating the entire area as if welcoming a king on a red carpet!

The full view of the Experimental Graveyard gradually emerged!

Rows of enormous shelves and the floor were filled with various kinds of machinery and components!

All the machines were of unusual shapes, unlike anything seen on the market!

Many of the devices were broken, with parts scattered everywhere!

Even those that were relatively intact were dull and had been dormant for years!

Without exception, each of them bore the same label: "Failed Experiment, dated XX Month, XX Year."

This nearly 10,000-square-meter space was filled with at least tens of thousands of failed experiments!

They had been forgotten, abandoned.

But that didn't mean they had no value!

Liu Di looked at these countless "scientific failures" and smiled.

In fact, the value of these "failures" far exceeded that of the land beneath his feet!

"Motong, let's find something fun," Liu Di said, as he wandered among the shelves, his fingers lightly brushing over the machines.

Then, a glowing circle appeared in his field of vision.

It locked onto a machine in the distance that resembled a refrigerator.

Liu Di walked over and effortlessly lifted the large machine with one hand!

"Master's Student Li Hai from Donghua Electric University, Large-Scale Wireless Charging Electromagnetic Resonator (Failed)."

Liu Di opened the device's back cover.

Its internal structure was clear at a glance.

Motong's analysis appeared in Liu Di's vision.

Resonance type?

The same principle used for charging electric vehicles?

Liu Di squinted.

Within moments, the reasons for the device's failure became apparent!

The primary coil had too few turns!

Weak electromagnetic induction!

And the programming of the chip had issues!

Thirty minutes later, following Motong's guidance and integrating his top-notch repair skills, Liu Di made on-the-spot modifications to the device, optimizing it to its best possible state!

After connecting the device to the power supply on one side of the venue, the indicator light instantly turned on.

The machine operated normally!

In an instant, invisible electromagnetic waves covered the entire space!

Throughout the area, countless dormant devices immediately received power!

Rows upon rows of indicator lights flickered on and off like stars in the night sky!

"1%... 10%... 50%... 100%!"

"Regional Collaborative Network Connection Successful!"

After this notification rang in Liu Di's mind, the entire venue hummed with activity!

The sounds of machines starting up and electronic devices powering on filled the space like a symphony!

Although the vast majority of the devices could only manage a feeble whimper, unable to function normally, many of the network-connected devices, after having their codes adjusted by Motong, came to life anew!

At the top of one shelf, a machine resembling a signal tower flashed a red light and began to operate normally.

Its spire slowly rose, standing proudly as the highest point in the venue, seemingly commanding a vast army!

This was a network amplifier!

It could boost civilian internet speeds tenfold while forming an independent regional network!

*Pop!*

In the distance, a machine emitted a warm, familiar orange light, projecting it onto the floor.

This machine could simulate the blackbody radiation from nuclear reactions on the sun.

In other words, it was a sunlight simulator!

Under its light, plants could grow in dark environments!

*Ding...*

A seemingly insignificant machine on a shelf lit up.

It projected a blue light screen into the air, gradually forming a 3D model of the circular building they were in, slowly rotating.

The building displayed was none other than the "Experimental Graveyard" where Liu Di stood!

This holographic projector had connected to the cameras around the building, using the 3D model to monitor every movement in the vicinity!

*Woof woof!*

Two adorable barks sounded.

Liu Di looked down to see a cute mechanical puppy at his feet, its lightbulb eyes blinking, and its mechanical tail wagging as it looked up at him.

Liu Di smiled.

This was a project created by a very talented female student, a robotic dog named "Wangwang."

Unfortunately, due to coding issues, she could never bring this little dog fully to life.

*Buzz buzz...*

In the distance, a one-legged robot lay on the ground, spinning in circles.

In the sky above, strange-shaped drones flew back and forth.

In the distance, various robots, vacuum cleaners, and car models were all moving toward Liu Di...

It was like being in a science fiction world!

Suddenly.

The 3D monitor displayed two figures!

*Knock knock!*

There was a knock at the door!

All the machinery immediately powered down!

Wangwang's lightbulb eyes dimmed, and its head drooped as if the power had been cut off.

The flying drones instantly landed on the nearest shelf!

Those on the ground powered down and collapsed!

The lights dimmed significantly.

"Mr. Liu, is this Mr. Liu's residence?"

"Your deluxe bed and bedding have arrived!"

Outside the door, the delivery man scratched his head, looking around the dark surroundings, feeling a bit creeped out. "Is someone playing a prank? Who would live in a place like this?"

Suddenly.

The door opened, revealing a handsome face with a glowing purple right eye peeking out. "Yes, this is the place!"

"Ahhh!" 

The delivery man nearly fell over in fright!

Twenty minutes later.

Under Liu Di's direction, a large, comfortable bed with bedding was set up in the very center of the venue, surrounded by rows of shelves.

As the delivery man was about to leave, he couldn't help but ask curiously, albeit cautiously, "Mr. Liu, why are you living here all by yourself?"

Liu Di chuckled, "As you can see, this is an old warehouse. I was hired to watch over the place."

The delivery man gave him a strange look. "Brother, no offense, but you're so young. Why take a job like this? Why stay here?"

"To be honest, this place gives me the creeps, like there are many eyes watching me!"
