A beam of light lit up above the Alamanda teleportation station. After the light faded, Hao Ren and his team appeared on the platform of the teleportation portal. The sun was about to completely set. The last ray of light spread over the ruins of the Golden Capital, and the entire city was shrouded in a layer of dim golden light.
Vivian looked up at the sky. She saw an irregular silver-white light in the dim sky. It was getting clearer as the sunlight faded. The scale of the light was slightly smaller than the moon on Earth. The edge was winding like mountains. She looked carefully and saw a clear structure in the silver glow. "Oh, that's the research station?"
As soon as Lily looked up and saw the moon, she squatted on the ground reflexively and howled happily. "Awooo … Awooo … Awooo … Why don't I feel anything?"
Hao Ren grabbed the silly girl by the ear and pulled her up. "Nonsense! This is not the moon! "
"I've always been curious about the reason why werewolves get excited when they see the moonlight," Y 'zaks said, scratching his chin. "I don't feel any special energy in the moonlight. It's just the normal reflection of sunlight."
Vivian shrugged. "God knows what's going on. I've been dealing 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 east. It turned out that the Petrachelys had received an order to come down from orbit to pick them up. Hao Ren led everyone aboard the spacecraft and soon came near the crystal-like space facility. Everyone was amazed when they saw the magnificent behemoth up close. Lily pulled at her ear with a look of regret. "I should have followed you to see it. Ow! How could I miss such a spectacular thing … "
Hao Ren ignored her and just waited for the spacecraft to slowly approach the docking port of the space facility. He already had the structural map of the "Crystal City" in his mind. He knew that the docking port was located in the middle of the entire facility. The building was a complex structure. Its middle section was a huge control center, with a variety of functions such as spaceship docking, material transfer, personnel accommodation, and other functions. Around this center was connected to one crystal dome after another. Those domes were containers with similar structures, and they were the main working units of the research station.
Two of the working units had been activated, but only one First Born had completed the "containment". After all, the First Born was a very troublesome thing. Not only was it huge, but it also carried a lot of "impurities" that needed to be cleaned up. Plus, the "Lullaby" system had to be kept online during the transfer, so it took some time to process it.
At present, the First Born excavated from the Volcano of Dusk had been processed. It had been placed in Container No. 1. The First Born excavated from the Volcano of Dusk had been placed in Container No. 1.
Hao Ren saw that the crystal bridge of the space docking port had appeared on the screen. He asked the MDT to slow down the spacecraft and then activated the external monitor in the other direction. "Look, that's sample number two in the process of containment."
A hundred kilometers away from the Petrachelys was the entrance to Container No. 2, where Sample No. 2 was undergoing the final stage of processing.
The mountain-like First Born was still fused with the Giant Tree of Life, and the huge rocks and other impurities on the composite had been mostly cleaned up. Many glittering, gel-like light clusters were drilling in and out of the composite's tentacles and vines, cleaning up the remaining impurities and completing the full-body scan of the First Born. The glowing light clusters were the "workers" of the research station. Because Hao Ren did not have a large research team at his disposal, the research facility had its own staff. The debris that was cleaned up was mainly rocks and soil, but it also contained chemicals emitted by the First Born during the past 10,000 years of slow physiological activity and some fragments of the epidermis, so there was also some value in preserving it.
The debris was mainly rocks and soil, but it also contained chemicals emitted by the First Born during the past 10,000 years of slow physiological activity and some debris shed from the epidermis, so there was also some value in preserving it. They would be sent to another factory facility in the lower level of the research station for the final step of decomposition. After extracting all the useful things, they would be thrown into the atmosphere of Tannagost to burn.
"The Giant Tree of Life and Sample No. 2 have grown together, and we can't separate them for a while, so I'm going to stuff this thing into the container." Hao Ren pointed to Container No. 2 on the screen. The shell-like crystal dome above the container was slowly opening, revealing a huge space inside. "Before putting it in, all the tentacles of the First Born and the connection points between it and the Giant Tree of Life are installed with sensors and nerve blockers, so that it will be much easier to do experiments."
The dome of Container No. 2 was fully opened, and the composite of the First Born and the Giant Tree of Life was slowly pushed into it. When the entire sample was completely submerged in the container, a layer of almost transparent light film appeared in the gap between the inner wall of the container and the sample, wrapping the sample into a "cocoon" shape. Then a thin, cloud-like substance was injected into it, gradually soaking the First Born.
After this last step was completed, the crystal dome began to slowly close.
The Petrachelys received a report from the research station. "Container No. 2 is performing confirmation operation … The main barrier layer is closed, the neutral medium liquid has been injected, the signal transmission test is … normal, the secondary safety barrier is closed, the external dome is closed. All safety components have passed the test, the signal is connected to the central control area, and the host of the research station has taken over the container. Containment operation complete. "
Lily listened to the report with a serious expression and nodded solemnly. "Yes, report confirmed."
Hao Ren smacked her head. "What are you confirming for?"
Lily slapped the back of the seat with her tail. "Because it's very cool!"
After observing the containment process of the giant container, the Petrachelys landed smoothly at the spacecraft docking port. They left the spacecraft and walked on a colorful, rainbow-like crystal bridge. Above the bridge was an almost transparent barrier. Beyond the barrier, they could directly see the bright starry sky outside, and on all sides of the bridge were buildings made of crystal. Lily was happy when she saw the sparkling scene. "Wow! This place looks so beautiful! It's so much better than Kuiper Station! "
Vivian also touched her chin and commented. "Look at how normal the aesthetics are. Why do the facilities that were given to you all look like coffins?"
The corner of Hao Ren's mouth twitched. "Looks like there's finally something normal about the goddess. She has a normal aesthetic when she builds a house."
The group walked along the crystal bridge. As they walked, Lily began to sneak to the side, her golden eyes shining with excitement. Hao Ren had his eyes on the husky since the beginning. He immediately called out to her. "Lily, what are you doing?"
Lily's tail exploded and she ran back. "I'm going to see if there's a guardrail on the side of the bridge …"
Hao Ren rolled his eyes and said, "You are not allowed to dig stones here. I know you want to add two more crystals to your treasure chest!"
Lily's ears immediately softened. "Just one piece, okay?"
Hao Ren was amused by the husky's reaction. "Don't be silly. This is a new house. And I don't believe you can really get a stone from this place. This prison is used to hold the First Born."
Vivian suggested to Lily. "You can go to the glass market when you go home. Anyway, the stones you pick are just for show. It's good enough …"
Lily flicked her tail and ignored the two of them.
When they came to the central area, Hao Ren suddenly remembered something. "Oh, I haven't named this research station."
As soon as Hao Ren's voice trailed off, everyone stopped in their tracks. Vivian and Lily almost said in unison, "Think again!"
Hao Ren touched his hair. "I haven't said anything yet. I think it should be called …"
Vivian covered Hao Ren's mouth with a sincere expression. "Don't make a sound. Think again."
Hao Ren was speechless.
"No matter how much he thinks about it, he can name his daughter Hao Doudou and his cat Rollie. What other names can he come up with?" The MDT rose into the air. "Don't worry about it. This research station has a name. CARS is floating right above your heads."
Hao Ren looked up. Sure enough, there was some kind of control center on standby screen, and the name of the research station was in the middle of the screen. He was surprised. "Why is Sister Raven's naming ability normal this time?"
"Normal my ass." The MDT contacted the main computer of the research station and quickly figured out the truth. "Don't you think this research station looks like an apple core from a distance?"
Hao Ren was speechless.
"So its full name is' Crystal Apple Core Research Station '. Crystal Core is the abbreviation."
Hao Ren said, "… I shouldn't have asked!"
