A light beam lit up above the Alamanda teleportation station. After the light faded, Hao Ren and his party appeared on the portal platform. Now this planet just ushered in the sunset, and the sun was about to completely set. The last ray of light diffused over the ruins of the golden capital, and the whole city was shrouded in a layer of dim golden light.
Vivienne looked up at the sky, and she saw an irregular silver-white light in the dim sky, which became more and more clear as the sun weakened. The scale of the bright light is slightly smaller than the moon seen from the earth, and the edges are twisted and twisted like mountains. She looked carefully and saw a well-defined structure in the silver light: "Oh—that is the research station?"
As soon as Lili looked up and saw the moon coming out, she squatted down on the ground reflexively, and howled happily, "Wow... woo... ouch... why don't you feel it?"
Hao Ren grabbed the bastard by the ear and pulled her up: "Nonsense! This is not the moon!"
"Actually, I've always been curious about the reason why werewolves get excited when they see the moonlight." I'zaks rubbed his chin with his face full of interest, "I didn't feel any special energy in the moonlight, it was just the normal reflection of the sun It's just light."
Vivian shrugged: "God knows what's going on, I've dealt with werewolves for more than 10,000 years and I still haven't figured it out."
At this time, a buzzing sound suddenly came from the high altitude in the east. It turned out that the Juguiyantai received an order to come down from the orbit to pick up people. Hao Ren led everyone aboard the spaceship, and soon came to the vicinity of the crystal-like space facility. Everyone observed this magnificent behemoth at close range, and they were all amazed immediately. Lily scratched her ears with regret on her face: "I really should have followed you to see it! I didn't see such a spectacular thing..."
Hao Ren ignored her and just waited for the spaceship to slowly approach the docking port of the space facility. He already had a structural diagram of this "Crystal City" in his mind, and he knew that the port of call was located in the middle of the entire facility. This building is a combination of exquisite structures. Its middle section is a huge control center with cabins for various functions such as spaceship docking, material transfer, and personnel living. Around this center are connected one after another. Crystal domes, those domes are containers with similar structures, and are the main working units of the research station.
Two of the work units have been activated, but only one eldest son has completed "containment disposal". After all, the eldest son is a very troublesome thing. Not only is it bulky, but it also carries a lot of "impurities" that need to be cleaned up when it is shipped. In addition, when transferring it, the "Lullaby" system must be kept online throughout the whole process, so it will take some time to process.
At present, the eldest son excavated from Sunset Volcano has been disposed of, and it has been placed in the No. 1 closed container. The other eldest son has not yet finished processing due to entanglement with the giant tree of life.
Hao Ren saw that the crystal connection bridge of the space anchorage port had appeared on the screen, so that the data terminal slowed down the speed of the spacecraft, and then activated the external monitor in the other direction: "Look, that is the No. 2 sample that is undergoing containment operations."
Everyone immediately moved to the front of the holographic projection with great interest. Then I saw the spectacular construction site in space.
One hundred kilometers away from the giant turtle rock platform is the entrance to the No. 2 closed container, where the No. 2 sample is undergoing the final stage of processing. I saw that the mountain-like eldest son was still fused with the giant tree of life, and the huge rock blocks and other impurities on this combination had been largely cleaned up. Lots of crystal-like light clusters, like amorphous gel, are drilling in and out between the tentacles of the assembly, cleaning up the remaining impurities and at the same time completing the full-body scan of the eldest son. Those shimmering light clusters are the "workers" of the research station. Because Hao Ren doesn't have a large number of research teams at his disposal, the research facility simply has its own staff.
The cleaned-up debris is mainly rock and soil, but it also contains chemicals emitted by the firstborn during the slow physiological activities of the past 10,000 years, as well as some fragments of the shed skin, so there is also some preservation value. They will be sent to another workshop facility on the lower level of the research station for the final step of decomposition. After all the useful things are extracted, they will be thrown into the atmosphere of Tanagus and burned.
"The giant tree of life and the No. 2 sample have already grown together. It will be impossible to separate it for a while, so I'm going to put the whole thing into the container," Hao Ren pointed to the No. 2 container on the screen. The shell-like crystal dome above the container is slowly opening, revealing the huge space inside. "Before putting it in, sensors and nerve blockers were placed on all the tentacles of the eldest son and the connection points between it and the giant tree of life, so that it will be much easier to do experiments and so on."
The dome of the No. 2 container has been fully opened, and the combination of the eldest son and the giant tree of life is slowly pushed into it under the wrapping of a ray of light. When the entire sample is completely submerged inside the container, a layer of nearly transparent light film appears in the gap between the inner wall of the container and the sample, wrapping the sample like a "cocoon", and then a thin, cloud-like The substance of the liquid was poured into it, gradually soaking the firstborn.
After completing this last step, the crystal dome began to slowly close.
Giant Turtle Rock Terrace received a report from the research station: "Container No. 2 is performing confirmation operations... the main barrier layer is closed. The neutral medium liquid is filled, and the signal transmission test... is normal. The secondary safety barrier is closed, and the external dome is closed. All safety components have passed the test, the signal is connected to the central control area, and the research station host takes over the container. The containment operation is complete."
Lily listened to the report with a sullen expression, and nodded solemnly: "Well, the report is confirmed."
Hao Ren patted her on the head: "You must be sure!"
Lily patted the back of the seat vigorously with her tail: "Because this is very touching!"
After observing the containment process of the giant container, the Giant Turtle Rock Terrace landed smoothly at the spaceship's berthing port. Everyone left the spaceship and walked onto a long, colorful, rainbow-like crystalline bridge. Above the long bridge was a layer of almost transparent barrier. After crossing the barrier, one could directly see the brilliant starry sky outside, while the long bridge was crystal clear in all directions. Crystal-formed building facilities. Lily became happy when she saw this shiny scene: "Ah! This place looks so beautiful! It's much more beautiful than Kuiper Station!"
Vivienne touched her chin and commented: "Look at how normal the aesthetics are. Why do all the equipment that was given to you look like a coffin?"
The corner of Hao Ren's mouth twitched: "It seems that the goddess sister finally has a normal place: when she built a house, her aesthetics were normal."
A group of people walked along the crystal bridge, and Lily began to sneak aside as they walked, her golden eyes shining with excitement. Hao Ren had been staring at this husky from the very beginning, and at this moment he stopped her instantly: "Lily, what are you doing?"
Lily's tail exploded with a bang, and Xiao jumped back: "I'll go see if there's a guardrail by the bridge..."
Hao Ren rolled his eyes: "Don't dig stones here, I knew you wanted to add two crystals to your Wang Zhibao!"
Lily's ears immediately softened: "Just knock a piece?"
Hao Ren was amused by this guy's appearance: "Don't make trouble, this is a new house—and I don't believe you can really knock stones out of this place. This prison is used to detain the eldest son."
Vivienne gave Lily a blind idea: "You can go to the glass market when you go home. Anyway, you pick up stones and put them on display when you go back. It's almost enough..."
Lily flicked her tail and ignored the two of them.
When everyone came to the central area, Hao Ren suddenly remembered something: "By the way, I haven't named this research station yet."
As soon as Hao Ren finished speaking, everyone around stopped in unison. Vivian and Lily said in unison, "Think again!"
Hao Ren stroked his hair: "I haven't said it yet, I think it's called..."
Vivian pressed Hao Ren's mouth sincerely: "Shut up, think with your heart—you think about it again."
Hao Ren: "..."
"If he thinks about it again, that's the way it is. He can name his daughter Hao Doudou and the cat Roll, what other tall names he can come up with," the data terminal dangled up into the air, "Don't worry, this The research station has a name, Crystal Nucleus Research Station—it's floating above your heads."
Hao Ren looked up, and sure enough, there was a standby screen of some kind of control center floating on the crystalline dome of the hall, and the name of this research station was in the center of the standby screen. He was very surprised: "Why is Sister Raven's naming ability normal this time?"
"Normal wool," the data terminal contacted the host of the research station, and quickly figured out the truth, "Do you think this research station looks like an apple core when it's far away?"
Hao Ren: "..."
"So its full name is 'Crystal Apple Core Research Station', and Crystal Core is the abbreviation."
Hao Ren: "... I shouldn't have asked why!"
