L 'Haronne's core.
The engineering droids had already scanned the cooled down planetary heart from top to bottom, and had built numerous research facilities and engineering components on its outer shell. The towers and connecting pipes were placed together with the planetary core, and Hao Ren could not help but feel like he was performing a surgery.
It was like he was cutting into the core of the planet …
"Actually it's not much different from a surgery." Nolan smiled as she heard Hao Ren's thoughts. "The Heart of God is located deep in the core, and its outer shell is covered with normal metal and rock layers. To take it out, you really have to cut it open. In fact, the Heart of God was originally soaked in molten magma, but as the planet was split into two, the core quickly cooled, and the Heart of God was sealed by the solidified magma. "
Hao Ren's eyebrows twitched. "But its information and influence on the outside is not affected."
Nolan spread her hands. "Its working mechanism is based on the laws of the universe, and mere material influence is nothing to it."
As she said, she had already ordered the engineering droids to start cutting the solidified but still hot rock on the surface of the planetary core.
Dozens of engineering droids flew above the cutting point, and the connecting pipes and supporting frames at the corresponding position folded and retreated. A moment later, a blinding cutting beam shot out from the front of the engineering droids, and left bright and molten marks on the surface of the planet's core.
The other engineering droids immediately followed up as they activated the tractor beam, and dragged the peeled off rock and molten matter to the side.
Lily leaned on the railing as she looked at the holographic projection, her tail wagging behind her. "Oh oh — I remember when we dug up the First Born in Holletta! But those Aerymian engineering droids made even more noise when they dug holes in the ground! "
"This is a high-precision operation. Digging up ancient technology is not the same as digging up the thick skin of the First Born." Hao Ren gave Lily a sideways glance, and his eyes fell on her swinging tail. He tugged on the tip of her tail. "I say, you've been holding back your transformation back on the surface, haven't you? You've been swinging your tail for two hours, aren't you tired? "
"Wow!" Lily screamed and almost jumped up. She turned her head and stared at Hao Ren angrily. "Mr. Landlord, you scared me! How many times have I told you to tell me before you grab my tail — your tail will cramp if you scare me like this! "
Vivian rolled her eyes at Hao Ren. "You're always teasing Big Dog. Aren't you afraid that she'll bite you?"
Hao Ren laughed awkwardly as he turned to look at the Heart of God that was slowly being dug open. "Do you guys think … that thing is really the 'vaccine' that we're looking for? At this point, I suddenly feel a little weak … "
"Actually, I'm a little nervous too." Rheia, who was daydreaming (actually doing her homework) suddenly turned around and said, "The situation in this world is completely different from what we first thought. The Mad Lord was not weakened by something, but the local ancestral civilization had used technological means to forcibly extend life into the universe, and while the result was the same as' suppressing the destructive power of the Mad Lord ', I can't be sure that the Heart of God has the effect of a vaccine."
As they spoke, the digging beams of the engineering droids had gradually reduced in intensity before they all stopped. After the tractors had dragged the debris away, a two-kilometer-wide, irregular, diamond-shaped gap had appeared in the earth's core.
At the bottom of the gap, a silvery-white substance was glowing faintly.
Hao Ren and the rest boarded a small shuttle and left the Petrachelys. Soon, they arrived at the bottom of the excavation pit that was still brimming with heat.
Due to the advanced cutting beams and continuous gravitational pull, the bottom of the excavation pit was unusually clean, and unlike normal construction work, there was not a lot of debris left to be cleaned up. After Hao Ren and the rest left the shuttle, they immediately realized that the silvery-white substance was actually an alloy shell.
Its texture was similar to titanium alloy, but the data from the various instruments showed that its strength was on par with the core of the Creation's Engine.
There were a large number of straight lines on the alloy shell, like a circuit board that covered the entire 'ground', and between the lines, there was a silvery-white light that was constantly changing between light and dark.
The change in brightness and darkness matched the heartbeat that Nolan had heard.
"I can still hear the 'heartbeat'." Nolan's figure appeared on the MDT's holographic projection, and she was still monitoring the data from the Heart of God. "The heartbeat is very stable, and the Heart of God is now in a very calm state."
Hao Ren casually asked, "Are you still maintaining communication with it?"
"Yes, our data connection has not been broken," Nolan replied. "I have already inputted the decod-transfer language from the Foundation Stone into the ship's special language library, and now I can directly communicate with the Heart of God. However, it does not have high intelligence, and as a device used to reboot the universe, it has allocated most of its computing power to the World Reshaping Module, and its thinking ability is only equivalent to the most basic of AI. "
Hao Ren was not surprised. "That's true … After all, it does not need to think about anything too complicated, and if it is set to be too intelligent … after countless cycles of annihilation, who knows what kind of mess it would cause."
Vivian looked down at the layer of alloy 'ground' beneath her feet. Although the gravity around the planet's core was extremely weak, upon touching the surface of the Heart of God, she felt that it was similar to Earth's gravity, and that allowed her to stand steadily.
"There seems to be a layer of something on the surface." Lily crouched down and scratched the ground with her claws. She realized that her fingers did not directly touch the layer of metal, and there was another layer of something that looked like an energy barrier blocking her fingers. "Like a shield?"
"That's right, this is a protective layer." Hao Ren said as he opened his Dimensional Pocket and took out the 'Scepter of Domination'. "The database in the Foundation Stone only allows access to information, and can only open the Heart of God through the data layer. However, the Heart of God itself is still physically sealed, and this is the protective layer. I had Nolan open a hole here because the 'interface' to remove the physical seal is nearby. "
He slammed the Scepter of Domination heavily on the surface of the Heart of God.
The moment the two came into contact, layers of glowing lines appeared from the point of contact, and these lights were like ripples on the surface of water as they spread out in all directions. At the same time, Hao Ren also felt a continuous tremor coming from beneath his feet.
He raised the scepter and slammed it again on the surface of the Heart of God. The expanding rings of light turned into a continuous halo, and the tremors on the alloy ground became more obvious.
"Is this thing really used like this?" Lily pulled Vivian and muttered. "Mr. Landlord won't break it, right?"
"Come on, do you think everyone is like you?" Vivian appropriately expressed her disdain. "You can even pull the door down when you open the door, there's probably nothing in your hands that can't be broken."
Just as the two of them were muttering, Hao Ren stopped what he was doing.
Nolan's voice came from the side. "Boss, the Heart of God is about to be unlocked!"
"Get the engineering droids to retreat." Hao Ren glanced at the crumbling debris of the planet's core as he picked up the Scepter of Domination and called out to Vivian and the rest. "Everyone, retreat a little! The Heart of God is about to open its shell! "
The engineering droids were already prepared, and when the Heart of God started to move, they had already retreated. By the time Hao Ren and the rest teleported to a 'safe spot' a few kilometers away from the planet's core, the Heart of God's outer shell had finally opened.
Countless cracks appeared on the red-black scorching core, and a small amount of molten magma spewed out of the cracks, sending debris flying in all directions. Following that, the outer shell of the core seemed to be unable to withstand the internal pressure as it rapidly expanded, and after a series of extremely dull thuds, the layer of cooled and solidified 'protective shell' finally broke into pieces.
However, the cooling layer of protective shell was not what Hao Ren was concerned about. It was nothing to the legendary excavator expert, the Sun King, who had once dug out two First Borns from Holletta. At most, it would just take him a little while longer to finish the job. What was more important was … the Heart of God's protective shell had finally been unlocked.
It was completely presented before everyone's eyes, and it was in a controllable state.
It was a huge silver-white spherical structure, but it was not as' smooth 'as Hao Ren had imagined. He had been misled by the layer of alloy that he saw, but in truth, what he saw was just a platform on the outer layer of the Heart of God.
On the surface of the sphere, which was about five kilometers in diameter, there were countless hexagonal platforms of various sizes, as well as all kinds of strange turbine-shaped and tubular structures. Some of them looked like data interfaces that had been magnified countless times, and some looked like frames that were connected to a larger structure. There were also a large number of things that looked like crystal clusters growing between the hexagonal platforms and the tubular structures. It looked beautiful and strange.
Lily mumbled, "This thing looks like it's connected to something else …"
"Indeed, the Heart of God did not exist alone when it was first born, but was installed on all sorts of platforms." Nolan's holographic projection appeared above the MDT. "Initially, it was a planetary warship as its' throne '. That planetary warship was called' Mokra ', but after a few eras, Mokra was destroyed. After that, the Heart of God was installed on all sorts of things. Space fortresses, large starships, and even on the surface of planets. It sank into the planet's core a few eras ago, and at that time, the L 'Haronne civilization no longer had the ability to operate or read the Heart of God. They did not even know what the Heart of God was used for. The Heart of God only activated its backup plan when it could not receive any external commands, and found a' safe shelter 'on its own. "
Hao Ren did not say a word. He only gripped the Scepter of Command in his hand as he looked at the 'mini planet' that was glowing brightly in the midst of the planet's core fragments.
At that moment, a sea of data and information was surging into his mind through the Scepter of Command.
Vivian finally noticed Hao Ren's long silence and sluggishness, and immediately asked with concern, "Hao Ren? Hao Ren? What's wrong? "
After a few calls, Hao Ren finally snapped out of it, and he quickly waved his hand. "It's nothing, the Heart of God just sent me an instruction manual through the Scepter of Command …"
The others were confused. "Instruction manual?"
Hao Ren let out a bright smile as he turned to Rheia. "Haven't we been worrying about the lack of a high-performance core for the Creation's Engine? Now we have it! "
