The mechanism of the incubator was actually very simple. It used the crystal to provide energy, and then used this machine to transform it into a special light to promote the incubation of normal eggs. This light would only react when it shone on the egg, and nothing else. However, their equipment showed that this thing did absorb the light that shone on it, which was very strange.
Of course, this was something that could only be tested by the machines in the headquarters, because the incubators in the first store were simplified versions, and only had the function of catalysis. Maybe the egg was already absorbing the light when it was incubated, but it couldn't be detected. According to Alfred, these light could only be absorbed by biological eggs.
"So this is still an egg, right?" Li Huailin said.
"If that's the case, it is." Alfred was also a little surprised. Yes, at first he thought this thing really wasn't an egg, but he didn't expect it to absorb the incubation light. Then it might really be an egg, but … it was too strange. He thought this thing didn't look like an egg from the beginning, and what did Li Huailin come here for? Was it really to incubate this egg?
Although Alfred always thought that Li Huailin was here to find an excuse to annex them, in fact, Li Huailin was really here to incubate the egg. Li Huailin didn't have time to care about this pet's home. Besides, if he really wanted to get rid of them, he didn't need any reason. Although it was necessary to find an excuse to fight a war, Li Huailin didn't need one. The whole world belonged to him. Why would he need an excuse? Some people would help him find one.
"Then what do we do now?" Li Huailin asked. "Can it hatch?"
"I've never encountered such a situation. No matter what kind of egg it is, normally when it is exposed to this catalytic light, it will hatch faster. But this thing has been exposed to the light for so long, and there is still no movement … But it did absorb the energy in the light, which means … this thing's incubation period is very long," Alfred said after thinking for a while.
"Very long? How long is that?" Li Huailin asked.
"About a thousand years or something like that," Alfred said.
"What? Are you f * cking kidding me? An egg needs to be incubated for more than a thousand years. That's enough to kill the mother * cker. " Li Huailin said, "Let's talk about it. I can believe you if you say that it stays in infancy for thousands of years, but what the hell do you mean by incubating an egg for thousands of years?"
"I'm just calculating it based on the energy of the catalyst." Alfred immediately said, "Generally speaking, the more catalytic light is needed, the longer the incubation time will be. A normal egg can hatch with just a little catalytic light, but this egg … is obviously special."
"What should I do now? I can't wait for a thousand years, right? Do you think I can hatch it in a short time if I can catalyze it? How long will it take? "Li Huailin asked.
"If we increase the output, we might be able to speed it up, but there's also a risk. After all, this thing is an egg. If it can't handle the energy …" Alfred didn't finish, but Li Huailin understood what he meant.
"Speed it up, speed it up. I don't have time to wait. If this thing really explodes, then it's no big deal. I'll just pretend I never got it." Li Huailin immediately waved his hand and said. Of course, he couldn't afford to wait. He might as well speed it up. If it really exploded, it would be the same as not hatching it anyway. There was nothing to hesitate about.
"Yes, your majesty." Alfred also nodded, then quickly asked the others to get ready. Yes, there were still a lot of incubators here. With a little modification, they could turn them into machines that emitted catalytic light. Then, they could concentrate the catalytic light on the egg, and naturally, they could increase the output. They really hadn't done this before. After all, biological eggs were used for reproduction. How could they not hatch after a thousand years? So this thing was really strange. Alfred was really curious about what this egg was, and wanted to hatch it to see.
After waiting for a while, everything was ready. Li Huailin saw a lot of incubators surrounding the incubator, and then all the machines were aimed at the egg.
"Your majesty, it's ready." Alfred also said, "There are a total of 112 machines here, and all of them are aimed. Once we speed it up, in theory, it can achieve 112 times the normal catalytic effect. Even if it's an egg that has been incubated for a thousand years, it will hatch immediately."
"Then let's start." Li Huailin immediately waved his hand and said.
"Start." Alfred immediately gave the order, and the staff immediately turned on the machines. Soon, Li Huailin saw all the machines emit an orange light. Because of the adjustments, all the light beams were aimed at the egg in the middle. Occasionally, some of the light beams missed, and the people next to them quickly adjusted.
"How is it?" Alfred immediately asked the person next to him who was observing the data.
"This egg is absorbing the light," the person next to him immediately replied. "Currently … it seems to be very stable."
"It can actually absorb it." Alfred was also a little surprised. That's right, he didn't expect this thing to be able to absorb the light beams stably. After all, it was 112 times the catalytic light beam. If it was a normal egg, it might really explode. But this egg could actually absorb it, which meant that his previous deduction might be right.
"Any movement?" Alfred asked again.
"There's no obvious movement," the staff member replied.
"Continue to observe."
So, Alfred and Li Huailin observed for a while again. That's right, they saw a lot of light beams were desperately shining on the egg, but there was no special reaction. Li Huailin couldn't wait any longer. Just when he was about to ask if the experiment had failed, Alfred spoke first.
"If this continues, the crystals will be the first to collapse. It's impossible to replace so many crystals at the same time. But if we stop now, it's hard to say what will happen," Alfred said.
"So what's going on?" Li Huailin asked.
"This … I've never seen this kind of situation before. It's hard to say at the moment," Alfred didn't know how to answer Li Huailin. It was also his first time seeing this thing. But just when Li Huailin was about to curse, the staff who was observing the data suddenly said, "Chairman, it's stopped!"
"What?" Alfred turned around and asked, "What stopped?"
"The light absorption has stopped," the staff said.
"Hurry up and shut down all the machines," Alfred thought for a while and immediately said.
"What's going on?" Li Huailin asked.
"If the catalytic light has lost its effect, that means … the catalysis should have been successful," Alfred said. "That means, this egg might be hatching."
"Oh?" Li Huailin was also happy. Although it wasted some time, the result seemed to be good. The surrounding machines all stopped at this moment. Li Huailin also hurriedly walked to the side of the egg. But although Alfred said that it had hatched successfully, the egg … still didn't show any signs of movement.
Alfred, who was at the side, directly pressed his hand on the egg, as if he was checking the situation inside the egg. But soon, he frowned, "This thing …"
"What's wrong?"
"Sorry, Your Majesty, I still don't quite understand what's going on with this thing," Alfred said.
"No, didn't you say it hatched?" Li Huailin asked.
"But the inside of this thing …"
"Crack!" Just when Alfred didn't know how to explain to Li Huailin, the strange egg suddenly cracked. Of course, everyone noticed this sound. The conversation immediately stopped, and everyone's eyes turned to the egg.
Yes, not only Li Huailin and the others, even the surrounding staff were very curious about what this strange egg was. After all, they had been working for so long, but they had never seen an egg that required 112 machines to catalyze. This was really too exaggerated. What exactly was inside?
"Crack crack crack …" Under everyone's gaze, the shell of the egg began to slowly crack, and then a blue light shone out from inside. It wasn't very bright, but it was still very scary, because ordinary eggs didn't have this kind of situation when they were hatching.
Soon, Li Huailin, who was closest to the egg, saw what was inside. At first glance, it seemed to be a black metal-like handle. Yes, Li Huailin was also stunned. Why was there something made of metal inside this egg? After taking a closer look, Li Huailin found that there was a glass cover under the metal handle, and then there was a base below it.
"Uh … this …" Li Huailin took a closer look. The thing that appeared inside the egg seemed to be a lantern.
Yes, a lantern. It was the kind of portable gas lamp that was used in Europe in the 19th century. The top and bottom were black metal, and there was a glass cover in the middle. Of course, inside the glass cover was a lamp wick, which could be ignited after adding fuel. However, in the middle of this thing in front of them, there was a very small blue flame. This was the blue light that they saw when they broke out of the egg.
"What the hell?" Li Huailin couldn't help but shout. The surrounding people were also confused. They wouldn't be surprised if something hatched from this egg. After all, it was something they had never seen before. However, it was still a living thing. What the hell was a lantern hatching?
