"You can be anywhere here, but please don't do anything … hostile."
It was as if they trusted Lin.
That was even more … strange.
Not long ago, the pompom had a simple conversation with the 'commander-in-chief' of this place, and then it allowed Lin to wander around here.
There seemed to be no special restrictions on where she could not go, so Lin could move around as she pleased.
There must be something strange about them suddenly becoming so welcoming towards Lin, but for now, Lin did not really care, so she let the pompom wander around here first.
Lin mainly wanted to know the specific situation of this place, why they were here, and their relationship with Ershi. So, Lin mainly wanted to find … the trunk of this plant.
It was said that this plant grew throughout the entire meteorite area like a vine, and all the buildings and facilities were built around the 'branches and leaves' of the whole plant.
However, this plant only had branches and no leaves, and it was not a plant itself, but a … hybrid creature, like the bus-like creatures and the gelatinous creatures, but its cycle and structure were different from the hybrid creatures Lin had seen before.
However, Lin felt that it should have something to do with Ershi.
It was usually called 'Zanke' by the Ershi Min, and it was said that different races had different names, and the reason why the Ershi Min called this plant Zanke was because of a … very famous story in their past.
This story was about a bandit named Zank. This bandit accidentally obtained a plant seed that was said to be able to grow above the clouds in the sky. So Zank planted the seed, and within a day and night, the seed grew into a huge vine that reached into the sky.
Following that, Zank climbed up to the clouds along the vines and found a huge house in the clouds. He stole … a lot of valuable things from the house, and then climbed back along the vines.
When the occupant of the house came back and found that the things were stolen, it angrily climbed down the vine and chased after Zanke, but Zanke quickly cut off the vine and let the pursuer fall to the ground, dead. After that, Zanke used the things it stole to live a happy life, which was really worth celebrating.
…
This story was said to be very famous, so the robot people here gave this huge plant that grew in the meteorite area such a name.
Lin did not know why this bandit story was so famous. Although … the actual story did not mention that Zank was a bandit, Lin felt that what Zank did was no different from the definition of a bandit that a typical creature would have of a bandit, so … she just treated him as a bandit.
However, this story had nothing to do with the plant. If he wanted to understand the specific situation of the plant, he should go … here.
A pompom now stopped in front of a room.
Most of the rooms and passageways were built inside plants. Only a few of them were exposed … inside fruit-like objects.
The room that the pompon was now in was also inside the plant. It had a name, and it was called the 'Growth Control Room'.
This place was where the plant 'Zanke' grew. When the pompom entered the room, it could see that there were many … metal cylinders.
There was a display screen on the surface of these metal cylinders, and a lot of data was displayed on it. A few robots were walking between these cylinders.
"Is it that what? Yes, it's that what … "
Two robots saw the pompon come in and whispered a few words, then walked away as if nothing had happened.
Lin did not pay attention to them. The pompon slowly floated to the front of a cylinder and looked at the data on it.
A lot of detailed information was recorded on it, such as the inside of the plant … the flow rate of liquid, the metabolic situation, the microbial community, and so on.
They were here to closely monitor Zank's … health state, and the data changes were recorded all the time.
"Although we have been doing very detailed tests, it seems to be useless." While looking at the data, the pompon suddenly heard a few robots whispering next to it.
"Yes, we have been recording data all this time. We haven't done anything."
"You two idiots, we are going to give the data to those things and let them deal with Zank's growth …"
The words of these robots seemed to indicate that they only recorded data and did nothing else.
"Give the data to those things?" So, Lin asked the pompon to ask them this question.
"It's …" One of the robots wanted to say, but it suddenly shut up when it saw the pompon. After hesitating for more than ten seconds, it said, "It's … those, those creatures."
After saying that, it immediately ran away, and the other robots did the same.
Lin found that these robots seemed to have a very … special attitude towards Lin, but the creatures they were talking about should be the creatures that lived on this plant with them.
The only creatures that Lin saw here now were those dragonfly-like species and the robot Ershi Min, but there were many other creatures living here.
They were all far away, and Lin did not know much about them.
So, Lin decided to find out more about them now, and also learn about the history of these Ershi Min machines.
Lin had not caught one for research yet, but Lin felt that there were other ways to study these machines besides this method, and that was … in this place.
"Very good, your treatment is over. Pay attention to the lubricant, and pay attention to the dust mixed in when you eat."
This place was called … the treatment room.
It was a large place, and there were many machines here. Most of them were sitting on long chairs, and … they were waiting anxiously.
These machines usually encountered various problems, so they needed to be treated. The pompon flew through the waiting area and went straight to a room inside.
This room was called the data room. After flying in, the pompon found a lot of information about these Ershi Min machines.
The machines in charge of this place looked like they wanted to stop the pompoms, but they didn't dare to. So, Lin quickly finished reading the information.
So, these machines were all built according to the Ershi Min, and they also had the same … personality as normal Ershi Min. Their body structure was also very similar. Although they were made of metal, they were specially designed according to … the Ershi Min's circulatory system.
