What are these facilities?
I tried a few reverse image searches (below) with no luck. Closest thing I found is Cockcroft–Walton generator
Reverse image searches:
Thanks!

I am guessing those are Cockcroft-Walton accelerators and that is the first stage of a larger particle accelerator. The pools on the right might provide some clue. They could be there for cooling or radiation shielding, or both.
This gives me VXjunkies flashbacks
Isn't that the big open room from Forbidden Planet? :)
EDIT: Pretty close actually 😂
That's exactly what I've been thinking of. 😅 Great movie, one of my favorites. Maybe they drew some inspiration from the real science guys?
I'd say a High Voltage Laboratory at first glance but this looks like a more permanent installation.
If we had an active VX community I'm sure they could come up with a good answer to this one.
ik I'm late, but this looks like an electrical substation (picrel as a refference) to me, just that it's indoors and probably built specificly for another installation
EDIT: I just saw the AC sticker on it, which would support my theory
Lightning factory
