In fact, for the company's employees, things like this separate garage, elevator, and two underground floors do not exist at all.
Even if someone uses destructive means to force their way into the underground laboratory, they will be subdued by the defense measures inside, and Luke will be notified to deal with it.
When the elevator is opened, it is a separate enclosed space.
Luke placed the fake phone in front of the scanner again, and the heavy alloy door of the laboratory officially opened.
In the spacious space, bright lights were lit up one after another, and a soft female voice sounded: "Sir, welcome."
Luke hummed, "Sponge, I haven't seen you in a few days. How are you doing?"
A soft female voice sounded: "Thank you for your concern. I am doing well here."
Luke: "Record the lady next to me. She has first-sequence clearance in the lab."
"Yes, sir." A female voice said, "This has been recorded."
Selina was curious: "Is she also an intelligent program?"
Luke nodded: "Yes, you can ask her anything you want to know. We will be here often in the future. It is our second home." After saying that, he wanted to leave.
Gold Nugget: “Boo-hoo?”
Luke: “What?”
Selina walked leisurely towards the living room next to her: "It's asking, what is its authority?"
Luke: "…Sponge, record this dog as second-order clearance."
Nugget: “Ouch?”
Luke: "First-order permissions mainly allow you to use experimental equipment. So, have you memorized your multiplication table?"
A certain dog head turned around decisively and followed Selina to visit the new home.
Luke curled his lips: It's really not challenging to deal with a super poor student like you.
Putting aside the gold nugget, Luke walked into the nearby laboratory and checked the equipment.
Only about 60% of the equipment he needs is here; the rest is either being pre-ordered or is temporarily out of stock.
However, there is never enough scientific research equipment.
Even without considering the problem of aging equipment, most of the equipment here will become outdated after five years and will still need to be replaced.
So Luke is not in a hurry, and buying them one by one is also an acceptable result.
More than twenty minutes later, he turned on the virtual light screen and prepared to start work.
Suddenly, a burst of shouts of "Oh Yeah" and "Kang Mu An Bei Bi" came from afar. He looked over with a frown on his face and saw Jin Nugget jumping around there in a panic, looking very nervous because he was not familiar with the equipment here.
A few seconds later, Selina turned off the virtual screen in the living room and shrugged at him: "It wants to watch TV series, so this is it."
Luke thought of the American TV characters on the virtual screen that were almost as big as real people, and sighed: "Is it necessary to make it so big? It can be smaller. In addition, the living room can be isolated from light and sound, and there are wireless headphones, so there is no need to use external speakers."
Selina laughed and rubbed the dog's head angrily: "I told you not to mess around! Did you hear me? Go to the side, reduce the screen and watch with headphones."
The gold nugget is quick to follow good advice.
Luke looked at the situation over there, smiled and shook his head, closed the door of the laboratory, lowered the light transmittance of the window, and started his work.
Yesterday's professional killer showed up and revealed the bounty, so Luke decided to postpone the cleanup operation.
He just upgraded and his spirit hasn't reached 40 points yet.
When his spirit reaches 40, he will need a day or two to adapt to the surge in spirit.
Moreover, he is a local boss in New York.
It would be an idiotic thing to rashly start a war with killers of unknown number and strength.
When taking action, it is best to have intelligence first.
So he and Selena took a proper vacation these days and used the laboratory equipment to speed up the transformation of the equipment.
After a busy day and just after dinner, Luke received a call from Robert.
After some daily banter, Robert asked, "How are you doing in New York?"
Luke didn't take it too seriously: "It's OK. I have my old boss's protection. The big boss is still the first deputy commissioner of NYPD. My colleagues haven't shown up as idiots to find fault. It feels about the same as when I was in Shackleford."
Robert: “… You are very confident.”
Luke has lived in the family for more than ten years, and Robert has a deep understanding of some of his character traits. It is his habit not to brag or talk big when it comes to serious matters.
Since he said it was okay, it meant that Luke was doing well in NYPD.
After confirming this, Robert got to the point: "It's like this. Regarding the security company you mentioned, I contacted my old friends before, and two of them said they could come, but I think the most important and most suitable person has lost contact."
Luke thought for a moment and asked, "Do you suspect that something happened to him?"
Robert: "Yes, a little bit. When I withdrew, I completely cut off contact with these old friends. But the few people I contacted said they didn't know anything about this person, and it was said that he had completely withdrawn."
Luke thought for a moment and asked, "Do you need me to find him?"
Robert: "Our information was confidential back then, and we didn't tell each other the details, but I know his family is in New York, and he should have a wife and a son and a daughter. You may be able to find his whereabouts at NYPD. If he is doing well now, there is no need to bother him."
Luke laughed: Robert is still worried that his old comrade is not doing well.
"Ok, I'll try. What's his name?" Luke said.
Robert: "We used to call him Francis Stronghold, but that was definitely a fake name, so..."
Luke wasn't too surprised, he just asked casually: "What was your name at that time?"
Robert: “…Gray Rabbit.”
Luke understood immediately.
Robert Grayson, a word with a similar pronunciation is rabbit grey, which means gray rabbit.
However, the name of Robert, the old comrade, may not have been chosen according to this rule.
The code name in the army may even be the name of the ex-girlfriend's father.
Any normal person should be able to guess what the considerations behind this kind of outrageous move are.
"What are his other characteristics and information?" Luke asked.
"He should be around 35 now, I'm not sure." Robert said, "He's white, likes to shave his hair short, looks... fierce, and has a face shape similar to a trapezoid."
Luke: "...He's not more handsome than you, is he?"
Robert was silent for a moment, and seemed a little angry: "Nonsense, I'm much more handsome than him."
Luke thought about it again and didn't dare to ask whether Francis was better at fighting than Robert.
The straight man Robert's daily remarks are "What's the point of being handsome? I can easily beat him into a pig's head."
Reasoning the other way around, maybe someone had really been beaten into a pig's head by Mr. Francis, which is why he cares so much about being handsome.
Luke: "That's fine. You probably don't have a photo of him, so you can ask Catherine to draw a sketch and fax it to me when the time comes."
