Although the blue-white crystals that fell deep in the center of the earth have undergone certain changes due to the age and the influence of the environment in the center of the earth, Hao Ren can still be sure that this is the mysterious crystal he saw in the previous illusion.
That happened not long ago—after Vivienne was able to successfully control the power of the Red Moon, Hao Ren conducted an experiment to explore the Red Moon. At that time, he discovered a large number of mysterious crystal clusters on the bottom of the Red Moon Sea. And after touching the crystal cluster, he fell into another illusion left by the goddess of creation. In that illusion world, he saw a mysterious planet shrouded in thunder and lightning, and the surface of that planet grew everywhere. With blue and white crystals…
Lily was the first to bluff when she heard Hao Ren's words: "Wow—landlord, are you sure it's this thing?"
"Pretty sure," Hao Ren nodded vigorously, his eyes fell on the damaged organ in the center of the grotto, "This kind of crystal has very special properties. It resonated in a very complicated way—the crystal here should have been stimulated when the Giant Turtle Rock was approaching, so it has been flickering regularly since just now, which is consistent with my impression. The previous one outside I didn't see it at the time, after all, those fragments were buried in the rock formation, and they were severely broken, but the one in front of me..."
He pointed to the long and narrow crystal column that pierced the cavity of the eldest son's brain nucleus: "It is relatively large, and I have seen crystals that are almost the same shape as it in illusions."
"Then why are these crystals here..." Lily scratched her hair, and immediately realized, "Ah! So, landlord, the planet you saw in the illusion is in this star area?"
"It's very possible, but it's too early to draw a conclusion." Hao Ren nodded lightly, "According to N-4, these crystals were suddenly teleported over this planet, so it came here In the process, they took the route of time and space, so it is difficult to judge their origin."
"But no matter what, if you can really find the planet you saw in the illusion, it will definitely be a great discovery." Vivian, who is so indifferent, is actually a little excited at this moment. She looked at Hao Ren's face. Eyes, "Maybe we can still find the throne you last saw in the vision!"
Of course, Hao Ren was not in a calm mood, but he still forcibly diverted his attention temporarily: "Of course, of course, but this is something to be considered later. The most important thing now is to understand the status of the eldest son here. Terminal —”
Without Hao Ren finishing his sentence, the data terminal has already begun to scan and analyze the brain nucleus showing signs of decay and atrophy. While checking, it reports: "The cause of brain death is the loss of nutrients and continuous radiation erosion. It is easy to see It was caused by being injured by a crystal. The eldest son's original powerful self-healing ability was not used. The crystal was releasing some kind of energy, which completely suppressed the eldest son's self-healing process...
"At the same time, the energy released by the crystal also affected the interstitial fluid around the brain nucleus, causing these interstitial fluids to mutate and produce toxins, which are several times more effective than the nerve agent we injected into Holleta's eldest son."
Hao Ren nodded his head slightly: "If it's this kind of crystal, it's easy to understand why the eldest son was brain-dead. According to the vision I saw, these crystals are closely related to the Goddess of Creation, and the eldest son is also the Goddess of Creation. One of the creations, as a thing of the same origin, it is understandable that the crystal breaks through the protection of the eldest son."
"And looking at the situation in front of me, the rank of the crystal is obviously higher than that of the eldest son," Vivienne thought thoughtfully, "The eldest son has no power to fight back against these fragments falling from the sky, and he just smashed them into pieces." Fool."
Hao Ren looked at the data terminal: "If this crystal is pulled out, will the eldest son's brain nucleus recover?"
"It was probably okay when this thing was first injured, but it's obviously not working now," the data terminal swayed from side to side, "The brain nucleus has been completely necrotic, and what's more terrible is that the energy released by the toxic substances and crystals has completely killed it." The nervous system in this area has been damaged, and this machine believes that the other nearby brain nuclei are similar to the situation here. These toxic substances and energy radiation have permanently destroyed the ability of the eldest son's nervous system to repair itself, so even if the crystal is removed, the brain The nuclei don't heal either—nor do new nuclei mutate from the ganglia."
"Then take this crystal away," Hao Ren nodded. "It's rare to have such a complete sample, and bring it back to the laboratory for analysis. Old Wang, I'll thank you for this."
"It's easy to say." Izaks' muffled thunderous voice came from above. The five-meter-tall demon king stepped forward, directly flowing through the inactive source blood lake in the center of the grotto, and stretched out his hand to grab it. The slender spear-like crystal prism pulled it out with all strength.
The eldest son's nervous system twitched slightly, but otherwise there was no movement: as the data terminal said, it was impossible to heal.
"Let's go back to the spaceship first," Hao Ren made a decision, "At the terminal, let the drone swarm send a group of engineering models down, and build a monitoring system based on these ganglia—remember to bring the 'lullaby', The knee-jerk reaction of the ganglia is still troublesome."
A group of people returned to the Giant Turtle Rock Terrace, and the spaceship lifted off and left the scorching underground world. While the spaceship was leaving, a large number of drones poured in along the opened passage. Carrying construction machinery, they prepared to build a small base in the cave according to Hao Ren's order.
The slender spear-like crystal prism was sent into the laboratory, and was quietly suspended on a relatively large gravity-free platform. The tractor beam firmly fixed the six or seven-meter-long crystal on a large In front of the pile of detection instruments, under the control of the laboratory host, the detection instruments are analyzing this incredible substance.
A large group of people—including N-4 and N-6 who were temporarily with Hao Ren's team—came over curiously to watch the harvest of this expedition, and even Roll, who was sleeping on the bridge, ran away after hearing the news. Come here, the short cat girl managed to squeeze in beside Hao Ren, but after looking up at the thing floating on the platform, she muttered in disappointment: "What meow... I thought you were so excited... The big cat went to catch fish..."
"Am I crazy to catch fish in the magma in the center of the earth?" Hao Ren glared at the cat girl, and pressed the latter's head to keep her from causing trouble, while N-6 next to him looked at the crystal and was a little dazed, muttering to himself He wrote: "...Three thousand years ago, it was this kind of crystal that fell from the sky and prevented Galactus from destroying us?"
"That's right, although it was just an accident, this accident allowed your civilization to survive," Hao Ren nodded slightly, then turned to ask the laboratory host, "What do you see now?"
"It has been confirmed to have a divine reaction, and the energy level is higher than that of the eldest son and the guardian giant. It can be determined that it is the result of the creation goddess's infusion of energy. The crystal itself should be some kind of natural product, but the divine power has transformed its nature, making it It is extremely solid and stable, and can even exist stably in the center of the earth and on the surface of the sun," the laboratory host replied, "In addition, it is detected that the crystal has the active behavior of continuously releasing signals, and at the same time, it will also produce regular responses to external stimuli. This phenomenon has also been confirmed on other crystal fragments. After analysis, it is confirmed that these signals have not dissipated and disappeared. In addition... "
Hao Ren nodded as he listened, and when he heard the last sentence, he suddenly became excited and quickly interrupted the host: "Wait a minute! Don't talk about anything else—what does it mean that the signal hasn't dissipated?"
"The signal released when the resonance of the crystal is detected will not attenuate with distance. Unless the crystal that receives the resonance intercepts or clears this part of the signal, the information will be permanently transmitted between these crystals."
Hao Ren blinked, and suddenly realized the meaning behind this: "That is to say, as long as these crystals release information, unless another crystal system erases the information, any corner of the Dream Plane universe can Have you ever detected this signal?"
The laboratory host gave a short but positive answer: "That's the theory."
"Ah, I understand!" Lily's ears pricked up, her tail flicked vigorously behind her, "Landlord, that planet you saw in the illusion!"
"That's right, that planet is full of these crystals," Hao Ren said with an excited expression on his face, "If that planet still exists, it will definitely release a large number of signals! These signals will not decay, and Which means we can find it!"
Nolan's holographic projection then appeared in the laboratory, Miss Jianniang was also paying attention to the situation here, and participated in the topic at this time: "We can directly use the crystal fragments found in the center of the earth as the core to assemble an antenna system, the resonance between these crystals is better than any radar and remote sensing technology, and they are the best signal receivers in themselves - and original."
"Is there any technical problem?" Vivian asked.
"Technically, there is no difficulty, because with these crystals, the most critical problems of signal reception and frequency matching do not exist at all. We only need to add a transcoding and addressing function to the antenna system," Nolan said at the same time. At the same time, a large number of light screens appeared around, and the structure of this antenna system has already been deduced on the light screen, "The number of crystal fragments we found is huge, and it is completely possible to create a large-scale antenna array, some of which are set in space. Part of it is set on the surface of the planet—anyway, the drone swarm has come, so many engineering types are useless, and such an assembly work can be completed in a few days."
"Very well, this matter is handed over to the drone group, and let them start working now. The core part of the antenna system should be assembled here in the laboratory, after all, it is a precision thing."
The crystal discovered by accident can be said to be Hao Ren's greatest achievement in this underground adventure, but in fact it is completely reasonable.
Because the star map that everyone used when they came to this "X star cluster" came from the depths of Vivian's soul, and the phantom with the crystal planet... was also hidden in Vivian's soul.
It now appears that the two events themselves are inseparable.
After arranging the matters related to the crystal, Hao Ren had to start to solve another serious matter in front of him: what to do with the eldest son of this planet
