More than half an hour later.

"Goodbye Wizard Joseph, there's a chance to visit you next time I visit you in Teresa. Richard stood outside the Blue Lagoon estate, said goodbye to the departing Joseph, waved his hand, and watched the other man go away.

After seeing off the other party, Richard turned around, thought for a moment, and walked quickly back to the living room.

In the living room, the diligent housekeeper Galie was packing up the tea set and preparing to send it to the kitchen for cleaning.

Leecha looked at it and stopped it loudly: "Wait a minute, Galie, put the tea set back in its place." ”

"Huh?" Galie was stunned for a moment, looked at Richard with some confusion, and then a little panicked, thinking that he had done something wrong. Carefully put the tea set on the table, looked at Richard, and asked tentatively, "Master, is there anything I can't do well?"

"No, it's not your problem, it's the tea set. Richard said.

"Huh?" Gallet breathed a sigh of relief, but was still confused.

Richard didn't explain much, and walked quickly to the tea set that Joseph had used before, first picked up the teacup containing the tea and set it aside, and then gently picked up the silver tray.

The entire silver paper tray is round, with a diameter of more than ten centimeters, and the inside is slightly sunken, just stuck at the bottom of the teacup. The design is ingenious, but not expensive, it is an old object left by the previous owner of the manor, because of years of oxidation, the surface of the silver tray is very dull, like a layer of fine dust.

Richard took the silver tray and observed it carefully, letting go of all his senses and trying to feel it.

Soon, he felt that there was some corrosive energy attached to this tray, exactly the same as the one that had emanated from Joseph's body before—Joseph was gone, but he left the corrosive energy here.

The question then arises: what is this corrosive energy?

Richard's eyeballs slowly rolled in their sockets.

From the previous conversations, he could deduce that Joseph's visit to him was indeed incidental, and that there was no clear purpose. The other party's body is contaminated with corrosive energy, it is indeed an accident, it is naturally good that he can solve the other party's problems, but he doesn't care very much if he can't solve the other party.

As Joseph had said, there was no obvious harm in this corrosive energy, and it was constantly drifting, although it was uncomfortable, but it was just uncomfortable. As long as there is no surprising amount of accumulation, after a period of time, it is normal.

But where does this corrosive energy come from?

The demonic creatures with polluting abilities that Joseph killed were probably not the source, and the source may be something else.

Once it's true, it's fun!

He wouldn't delve into these things if it was usual, but because of the divergence of thinking from the crystal ball two days ago, he was sensitive to this corrosive energy.

In case of...... He was saying that if this corrosive energy matched his most daring conjectures, then he might be able to greatly improve the progress of his research all along.

At that time, he will be fearless of the Truth Society, of the Supreme Order of God, and even of all people and organizations that may stand in his way. He will have the confidence and hole cards to fight against the whole world, and he will no longer have any care to carry out the plan in his heart!

Of course, this is just in case.

So, is it ten thousand, or one?

"Whew-"

Richard took a deep breath, turned his head to look at Galie, who was still confused next to him, and ordered, "Galie, go to the tool room and get a medium-sized lead box." ”

"Medium-sized lead box?" Galie was completely confused, but looking at Richard's serious appearance, he didn't ask anything, walked out of the door quickly, and walked over with a heavy lead box more than twenty centimeters square.

Richard took the lead box from Gared's hand, placed it on the table to the side, opened the lid, put the silver plate in his hand, and quickly sealed it.

Turning his head to look at Galie again, Richard said: "I'll go to the study now, you go and close the door of the manor, if anyone looks for me, just say that I am busy with important things and can't see guests." Remember, this is true for anyone. ”

"Yes, I remember. "Galleria Expressway. To be honest, he still didn't know what was going on, and he didn't know why Richard valued a silver platter so much. But he understands a truth, that is, what Richard values must not be a trivial matter, and he just needs to work hard to cooperate.

Resolutely don't ask what shouldn't be asked, and resolutely don't know what shouldn't know, this is his basic quality to be a good housekeeper.

Richard glanced at Garrie with satisfaction, turned around, and walked quickly to the study.

......

In a moment, Richard appeared in the study with a lead box.

However, he did not stop in the study, and then entered the Garden of Eden.

......

Garden of Eden, hazmat functional sector.

Richard appeared here, looking at a mushroom-like free-standing building in front of him.

The entire building is about 300 square meters, and the walls are extremely strong to resist high-intensity impact damage. There is a special anti-high temperature coating on the surface, and there is a fireproof interlayer inside to prevent fire caused by high temperature. The innermost layer, there is also a thick layer of lead to prevent harmful radiation.

Entering along a passageway, there are then five doors that can be completely sealed at any time, ensuring that anything dangerous will not come out from the inside.

And that's just an above-ground entrance.

The main part of the building, which is actually built underground, has the highest level of protection in the Garden of Eden.

Since its construction, the building has been used very few times, on the one hand, it is difficult to maintain, and it is not worth entering for ordinary research, and on the other hand, it is too restrictive and too cumbersome to enter.

However, some extremely dangerous experiments can only be carried out safely in this place, preventing one from accidentally destroying the entire Garden of Eden.

For example, the most recent experiment completed here was more than a month ago on the study of pneumonic fungal spores, and the purpose of the research was to increase the lethality of pneumoniac fungal spores, their transmissibility, and their ability to die en masse after a certain period of time.

If it can be successfully developed, it is expected to replace the current first-generation biological and chemical weapons with relatively large side effects and become the second-generation practical biological and chemical weapons.

And now Richard is about to enter inside, because he wants to use some of the instruments inside to test the silver tray sealed in the lead box, to see if the corrosive energy attached to it is what he guessed.

Isn't it?

......

"Click......

Footsteps sounded, and Richard walked into the basement of the building, wearing a rather bloated chemical suit, into a small room.

The room was only a dozen square meters in size, and the interior was empty, except for a round table in the middle, there was nothing else.

After Richard walked in, he carefully closed and locked the door, and with a soft "bang", he placed the lead box he was holding on the round table in the middle.

"Click"!

When the lead box was opened, the silver disc containing the corrosive properties attached to it was suddenly exposed to the air, and Richard waited patiently.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

Just three seconds later, a red light suddenly flashed on the wall in front of him, and when he looked carefully, he found that it was a series of red warning lights hidden in the wall.

Then there was a shrill whistling of "drops", and several stone slabs on the roof of the room quickly slid open, revealing a whole row of high-pressure sprinklers.

"Poof!"

A large amount of blue clear liquid erupts from the sprinkler head and begins to forcibly wash the entire room.

The whole room was filled with blue mist, but Richard didn't panic, his eyes looking through the mask of the hazmat suit, through the mist, to the wall directly in front of him. I saw that a series of red warning lights had been extinguished, and then three headlights, one red and two yellow, were lit up.

The fifth type of dangerous goods!

After seeing the three headlights, Richard in the protective suit suddenly smiled.

The fifth type of dangerous goods, in his regulations, is classified as radiographic goods.

The so-called rays, including α rays, β rays, γ rays, positrons, protons, neutrons, neutrinos, etc., generally have a unified name for things with this ability.

That's ...... Radioactive material.

One of the radioactive substances is called ...... Nuclear weapons raw materials.

Raw materials for nuclear weapons!
