The Record of Unusual Creatures

Chapter 597: Scared of a ball

Views:

Hao Ren and the others also came here by coincidence. It was only an hour ago that the "eldest son's remains" at the power core of the Demon King City had a problem. However, in the view of the managers of the power furnace, the situation of the core is not serious: it is only releasing some signals that are not strong and harmless to humans and animals, and these signals have not caused any magic fluctuations within a hundred miles. Therefore, after detecting the signal, the technicians of the power furnace only reported it to the technical supervisor at the upper level, but did not generate a higher-level alarm.

If Hao Ren and the others hadn't seen the phantom of the Demon King's City floating in the atmosphere when they came down from the sky just now, I'm afraid no one would have thought of what was going on in the depths of the city, let alone link the vision to the energy core superior.

The circular hall where the energy furnace is installed is as brightly lit as ever, and the power core is running with a bang. In the center of the energy extractor composed of multiple concentric circles, the blood-red "seed" is emitting regular light, pulsating slightly with the rotation of the energy extractor. Technicians stood in a circle around the circular platform, carefully observing the large device that even its creators could not claim to fully understand, recording its latest strange readings.

Elizabeth did not know where to find a boxy alchemy device, and was holding it to shine around the energy core. There were some noises as if the radio was being interfered in the alchemy device. The little girl had a very professional expression: "There is interference, there is really interference."

Hao Ren poked the data terminal on his shoulder: "Can you detect anything?"

"This thing is releasing electromagnetic waves, which are somewhat similar to brain wave activity." The data terminal projected a blue light, pointing to the red ball in the center of the reactor. problem, and the electromagnetic waves are getting stronger."

Seeing Yizaks' serious expression, the spirit technician immediately became nervous: "Wang, is there a serious problem with the core?"

"I can't guarantee it for the time being. But it's definitely not safe to use this thing as a power core..." Y'zaks turned his head, "Does the city still have to use this power furnace to provide energy? We don't have other sources of energy?"

"Currently there is no need for flying in the city. The largest energy-consuming unit is in a shutdown state, so the magic reactor used before is sufficient," the Eldar technician replied, "It's just that this power furnace has a higher power, and it has been No problem, just use it today."

Y'zaks weighed it up, and then consulted some details with other technicians around him. Then turned to La Nina: "Go and connect the original reactor, we temporarily cut off the core and see how it goes."

Hao Ren also patted the shell of the data terminal: "You fly up to the atmosphere and stare at the Phantom Demon King City."

The data terminal let out a cry, turned into blue light and disappeared into the air, and the technicians of the power furnace immediately got busy under La Nina's command.

There are two sets of power systems in the Demon King City. The one in front of Hao Ren and the others is actually newly built. It was activated after the city was engulfed by a space storm and fell into a different space. Harvest energy. And there is an old power furnace above this hall, which was built during the reign of Yizaks. It can also provide the energy supply for the entire city, but it is temporarily sealed up because its power is not enough to activate the city flight function. Now that the Demon King City has landed on the surface of the planet, there is no difference in practicality between the two sets of power furnaces.

Hao Ren also couldn't understand what those technicians were tossing about. I saw that the neat lines of runes on the floor of the hall were moving and rearranging into a closed array. Meanwhile, the energy extractor in the center of the hall slowly quieted down. Several concentric rings stopped rotating according to certain rules, and finally fell steadily into the groove directly below.

And the red "seed" was suspended in place under the support of the anti-gravity magic. After losing the catalysis of the energy extractor, the red light on its surface gradually dimmed, and the strange buzzing sound finally stopped.

A few seconds later, a message came from the data terminal: the projection of Demon King City above the atmosphere disappeared.

"It seems that this thing is indeed causing it," Y'zaks looked at the ball in disbelief, "what the hell is it... doing?"

"Before answering this question, we must first understand what it is." Nangong Wuyue twisted her body and came to the side of the ball, carefully approached it a little, and then observed the lines on it. Trying hard to see the movement inside through its translucent leather shell, "At that time, we guessed that this was the seed left by the eldest son after it died, right... But does the eldest son really have seeds?"

After the siren girl's voice fell, Hao Ren immediately murmured in his heart: Yes, the eldest son is a bit plant-like, but does it really have seeds

Lily thought hard for a long time, and suddenly remembered something: "Oh right, landlord, we have already seen the tentacle monster in Tanagus, it is also dead, and we didn't find that there were seeds on that planet, right? "

Hao Ren shrugged: "But I didn't really look for it at the time. God knows if there will be seeds buried in any corner."

At this time, a blue light flashed beside Hao Ren, and the data terminal was sent back from the edge of the atmosphere. It leaned on Hao Ren's shoulder, and said in an expert tone: "Anyway, this thing is very suspicious. We only scanned the structure in the ball at the beginning, and didn't study it in depth. Now this machine recommends stopping this set immediately. Reactor, and then transport the existing two big red balls back to study carefully... "

Hao Ren: "What the hell is the big red ball?"

"Just understand the spirit." The data terminal hit Hao Ren's head, "With your own naming ability, you should listen honestly in this situation."

Hao Ren was speechless.

There is obviously a problem with the "Seed of the Firstborn" used as the core of the power, so no one will continue to use this reactor. La Nina ordered another spare core, the "big red ball" in the mouth of the data terminal, to be checked and handed over to Hao Ren. But Hao Ren felt quite emotional: None of the things related to the eldest son are fuel-efficient lamps. He thought it was a dead seed, but now he has to fake a corpse to scare people. Fortunately, it was discovered early, otherwise God knows how much trouble this thing can cause.

Y'zaks also nervously asked if there was any problem with the reactor in the past period of time. After knowing that everything was normal, he was a little relieved, and decided that in the future, he must never mess with unknown-brand batteries.

After some busy work, Hao Ren looked at the two red balls side by side in a daze: "Are you sure you want me to put this thing in the portable space?"

The data terminal was flying around Hao Ren's head: "Just keep it in your pocket. Are you worried about accidents in such a safe place? And it's not like throwing it in casually. There's a safe deposit box outside."

Looking at the two balls, Hao Ren felt hairy in his heart: "... To be honest, I have a psychological shadow on my eldest son, and now I don't want to touch anything related to them!"

The data terminal snorted: "Why bother with this, it's just two balls that can emit waves. Are you afraid of balls?"

Hao Ren thought about it too, and then pinched his nose and frowned, took out two large safe deposit boxes, and directed the self-discipline machine to put the two "firstborn seeds" (suspected) into his personal space for future research.

After finishing the work, he asked La Nina who was standing next to him with concern: "After you leave these two energy cores, there will be no power cuts in your city, right?"

La Nina was stunned for a moment before realizing what the power cut meant. Miss Succubus showed a charming smile (she didn't realize it herself): "It doesn't matter, as long as the flight function is not activated, the city's energy is sufficient."

Hao Ren nodded and added: "In the future, if it is not necessary, don't pick up batteries of unknown origin and use them indiscriminately."

La Nina: "..."

Y'zaks rubbed his head: "I wanted to say that just now."

After temporarily resolving this unexpected situation, Yizaks and Elizabeth had the time to catch up with La Nina and exchange the latest situation in their hometown by the way. Nangong Wuyue didn't waste this precious time, and immediately ran to the Demon King excitedly when she saw nothing was wrong. She was able to swim happily this time, because she had to swim at least half a circle around the city to find a place to land...

And "Roll" took this opportunity to roam the unfamiliar city streets again. This cat is not as shy as other cats. She was born as a nomad, and her ability to adapt to unfamiliar environments has reached the level of lack of understanding.

Hao Ren originally planned to lead Lily around the city a few times, but at this moment, Raven 12345 suddenly sent a message:

"The building blocks you want have been delivered, take some time to pick them up from the reception room of the Kingdom of Heaven." (To be continued~^~)
