Although these blue-white crystals had changed due to age and the influence of the environment, Hao Ren was still sure that this was the mysterious crystal he had seen in the previous illusion.
That was not long ago. When Vivian was able to control the power of the Crimson Moon, Hao Ren conducted an exploration experiment on the Crimson Moon. At that time, he found a large number of mysterious crystal clusters at the bottom of the Crimson Moon Sea, and after coming into contact with the crystal clusters, he fell into another illusion left by the goddess of creation. In that illusion, he saw a mysterious planet shrouded in thunder and lightning, and the surface of the planet was full of blue-white crystals …
Lily was the first to exclaim when she heard Hao Ren's words. "Wow! Mr. Landlord, are you sure this is it?"
"Quite sure." Hao Ren nodded, his eyes falling on the damaged organ in the center of the grotto. "This crystal is very special. When one of them changes, the crystals within a certain range will resonate in a very complicated way. The crystal here should have been stimulated when the Petrachelys approached, so it has been flashing regularly since just now, which matches my impression. I did not see it when I was outside, after all, those fragments were buried in the rock stratum, and the damage was quite serious, but this … "
He pointed to the long and narrow crystal column that had pierced through the brain cavity of the First Born. "It's bigger, and I have seen crystals that look almost the same as it in the illusion."
"Then why are these crystals here …" Lily scratched her head, and then it dawned on her. "Ah! So Mr. Landlord, the planet you saw in the illusion is in this sector? "
"It's very likely, but it's too early to say for sure." Hao Ren nodded gently. "According to N-4, these crystals were suddenly teleported over the planet, so it actually took a hyperspace route to get here, so it's difficult to determine their origin."
"But anyway, if we can really find the planet you saw in the illusion, it's definitely a big discovery." Vivian, who was always calm, was actually a little excited at the moment. She looked into Hao Ren's eyes. "Maybe we can even find the throne you saw at the end of the illusion!"
Hao Ren was certainly not calm, but he forced himself to temporarily divert his attention. "Of course, of course, but these are things to be considered later. The first thing now is to figure out the status of the First Born here. MDT — "
Without waiting for Hao Ren to finish, the MDT had begun to scan and analyze the brain, which showed signs of decline and shrinkage. It reported as it examined, "The cause of brain death is the loss of nutrients and continuous radiation erosion. It's easy to see that it was caused by the crystal. The First Born's powerful self-healing ability did not come in handy. The crystal is releasing some kind of energy, which completely suppressed the First Born's self-healing process …
"At the same time, the energy released by the crystal also affected the tissue fluid around the brain, causing the tissue fluid to mutate and produce toxins. It's several times more effective than the nerve agent we injected into the First Born of Holletta."
Hao Ren nodded slightly. "If it's this kind of crystal, it's easy to understand why the First Born is brain dead. According to the illusion I saw, these crystals have a close relationship with the Goddess of Creation, and the First Born is also one of the Goddess of Creation's creations. As something of the same origin, it's understandable that the crystal can break through the First Born's defense. "
"And looking at the situation in front of us, the crystal is obviously of a higher level than the First Born," Vivian said thoughtfully. "The First Born can't fight back against these fragments falling from the sky. It's directly smashed into a fool."
Hao Ren looked at the MDT. "If we pull out this crystal, will the First Born's brain recover?"
"It probably could when it was first injured, but obviously not now." The MDT shook its body from side to side. "The brain is completely necrotic, and what's worse, the toxic substances and the energy released by the crystal have completely killed the nervous system in this area. I believe the other nearby brain nuclei are in a similar situation here. These toxic substances and energy radiation have permanently destroyed the self-healing ability of the First Born's nervous system. So even if the crystal is removed, the brain will not recover — and there will be no new brain nuclei mutated from the ganglia. "
"Then take this crystal away," Hao Ren nodded. "It's rare to have such a complete sample. Bring it back to the lab for analysis. Y 'zaks, I'll have to trouble you. "
"No problem." Y 'zaks's thunderous voice came from above. The five-meter-tall demon king stepped forward and directly crossed the lifeless lake of lifeblood in the center of the grotto. He reached out and grabbed the slender, spear-like crystal prism and pulled it out.
The nervous tissue of the First Born only twitched a little, but other than that, there was no other movement: as the MDT said, it could not recover.
"Let's go back to the spacecraft first," Hao Ren made a decision. "MDT, let the drone swarm send a group of engineering types down to build a monitoring system based on these ganglia. Remember to bring the 'Lullaby', the subconscious reaction of the ganglia is still very troublesome."
The group returned to the Petrachelys, and the spacecraft lifted off and left the scorching underground world. At the same time, a large number of drones poured in through the opened passage. They carried engineering machinery and were ready to build a small base in the grotto according to Hao Ren's order.
The slender, spear-like crystal prism was sent into the laboratory, and it quietly floated on a relatively large gravity-free platform. The tractor beam firmly fixed the crystal, which was six to seven meters long, in front of a large number of testing instruments. Under the control of the laboratory's mainframe, the testing instruments were analyzing this incredible material.
A large group of people, including N-4 and N-6 who were temporarily with Hao Ren's team, came to see the harvest of the expedition. Even Rollie, who was sleeping on the bridge, heard the news and rushed over. The short cat girl squeezed herself to Hao Ren's side, but when she looked up at the thing suspended on the platform, she muttered in disappointment, "Meow … Look at you guys, I thought Big Boss Cat went to catch fish …"
"I'm crazy, going to the magma to catch fish?" Hao Ren glared at the cat girl and pressed her head to stop her from causing trouble. N-6 was staring at the crystal in a daze, muttering to herself, "… 3,000 years ago, this was the crystal that fell from the sky and stopped the planet devourer from destroying us?"
"Yes, although it was just an accident, this accident allowed your civilization to survive." Hao Ren nodded gently, then turned to the lab's mainframe. "What have you found so far?"
"It has been confirmed that it has a divine reaction, and its energy level is higher than the First Born and the guardian giants. It can be determined that the goddess of creation personally injected energy into it. The crystal itself should be some kind of natural product, but the divine power has changed its nature, making it extremely stable, and even stable on the surface of the earth and the sun, "the lab's mainframe replied." In addition, it has been detected that the crystal has an active behavior of constantly releasing signals, and at the same time, it also has a regular response to external stimuli. This phenomenon has also been confirmed in other crystal fragments. After analysis, it has been confirmed that these signals have not dissipated, and — "
Hao Ren nodded as he listened. When he heard the last sentence, he suddenly had a thought and quickly interrupted the mainframe. "Wait a minute! Let's not talk about that first — what do you mean by the signal has not dissipated? "
"The signal released when the crystal is detected will not attenuate with distance. Unless the crystal receiving the resonance intercepts or erases this part of the signal, the message 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 the message, then unless there is another crystal system to erase the message, this signal can be detected in any corner of the universe of the Plane of Dreams?"
The lab's mainframe gave a brief and affirmative answer. "In theory."
"Ah, I get it!" Lily's ears suddenly perked up, and her tail wagged behind her. "Mr. Landlord, the planet you saw in the illusion!"
"Yes, that planet is full of these crystals," Hao Ren said with an excited expression on his face. "If that planet still exists, then it must have released a massive amount of signals! These signals will not attenuate, which means we can use it to find it! "
Nolan's holographic projection then appeared in the lab. The shipgirl was also paying attention to the situation here, and this time, she joined in the conversation. "We can directly use the crystal fragments found in the core of the planet as the core to assemble a set of antenna system. The resonance between these crystals is better than any radar or remote sensing technology, and they themselves are the best signal receivers — and they are original."
"Is there any technical problem?" Vivian asked.
"There is no technical problem, because with these crystals, the most critical problem of signal reception and frequency matching does not exist at all. We only need to add transcoding and addressing functions to the antenna system," Nolan said as a large number of light screens appeared around her. The light screens had begun to deduce the architecture of the antenna system. "We found a large number of crystal fragments, and it is entirely possible to create a large-scale antenna array. Part of it will be set up in space, and part on the surface of the planet. Since the droid swarm has arrived, it would be a waste not to use so many engineering types. This assembly work can be completed in a few days."
"Very well, this task will be handed over to the droid swarm, let them start work now. The core of the antenna system should be assembled here in the lab. After all, it is a sophisticated gadget. "
The accidental discovery of the crystal could be said to be the biggest reward of Hao Ren's underground exploration, but in fact, it was completely reasonable.
This was because the star map they used to come to this "Star Cluster X" came from the depths of Vivian's soul, and the illusion with the crystal planet … was also hidden in Vivian's soul.
Now it seemed that these two things were inseparable.
And after arranging the matter regarding the crystal, Hao Ren had to deal with another matter at hand: how to deal with the planet's First Born?
