The MDT was silent for a long time. Even with the composure of a PDA, it was still shocked.
Ten seconds later, the MDT's voice came through the communicator. "What did you say?"
"I'll send you the image," Hao Ren said as he shared what he saw with the MDT. "See? These tentacles, and the equipment connected to the tentacles. The signals I gave you were intercepted from these cables. The host of the server is a First Born. There's no way to transport it out. "
"Father, please bless us. Why do we always encounter this kind of thing?" The MDT yelled. "Test the other lines. Maybe the signal is coming from other equipment."
"I've tested it. All the cables are connected to the tentacles, and the signal source is not from these machines, but from the tentacles."
Hao Ren said as he installed more sensors on the metal cylinders and cables. At the same time, he used a transmitter to send some probes into the tentacles hanging on the ceiling of the cavern. The signals detected by these sensors made the MDT silent.
Vivian looked up at the symbiotic tentacles and cables. This was obviously a very thorough transformation. Not only did the Zorm people need to design the appropriate machinery and equipment, but also the First Born needed to precisely control its own growth to adapt to the human facilities here. If the First Born did not cooperate, it would be impossible with the power of mortals. Although it was incredible, the fact was in front of everyone: the First Born and mortals on this planet coexisted in harmony and cooperated with extreme tacit understanding.
"Could it be that the Zorm people have found a way to forcibly control the First Born? Well, it's impossible." Lily carefully touched an alloy cylinder next to her with a thoughtful expression. "So the main body of this refuge is actually the First Born. And the things here are obviously artificial, so the Zorm people are not trapped in the virtual world by the First Born. They entered voluntarily. Oh, my worldview is challenged. "
"A sober guardian …" At this time, Hao Ren suddenly remembered what the guardian giant once said. "Oh yes! When the Goddess was dying, she ordered some of the guardians to protect the mortals. The First Born in this place may be one of them! "
"The guardians who maintained their sanity at the last moment?" Y 'zaks was surprised. "Didn't you say that only the guardian giants received the order? The First Sons should have all gone mad at the same time … "
"This is what the guardian giant said, but the situation was so chaotic at that time, his information may not be accurate." Hao Ren waved his hand. "Perhaps some of the First Borns were stopped by the goddess before they could go crazy, or the goddess may have chosen others to inherit her will. Everything is possible. In any case, let's not pursue the truth of what happened back then. The problem at hand is how to save the billions of people in the virtual world! "
"How?" Vivian smiled bitterly and pointed to the tentacles. "If it's just a server or a hard disk array, we can just move it away. But this is a First Born that lives with the planet. It's not going to be easy to move it."
"We have successfully moved it once, haven't we, the two of Holletta?" Hao Ren still wanted to struggle. At the same time, he called the MDT. "MDT, scan the planet and see how far the tentacles of the First Born have spread. If it's a small body …"
"During the previous crustal tear, I detected a surge signal that spread across the entire planet. It may be a nerve impulse of the First Born." The MDT gave a discouraging answer. "Although I want to give you some hope, I'm afraid that the First Born on Zorm is a mature individual. Its tentacles have spread all over the planet. Unless we can push the whole planet away from the sun, nothing can stop it from burning together with the planet."
Vivian also shook her head. "Don't forget how we succeeded in Holletta last time. We used the engineering fleet of the Aerymian elves. The technical strength of the Aerymian elves is limited. I'm afraid their equipment can't be used here. This planet is too close to the sun. "
Hao Ren was silent. He knew that what the MDT and Vivian said was the truth. But he also knew that the difficulties were far more than that. Even if the engineering machinery of the Aerymian elves could be used here, he did not have enough time to mobilize those people and arrange the plan. He also could not guarantee that the First Born would be safe during the excavation process, let alone that the virtual world would remain stable during the process. The last time he worked in Holletta, he eliminated the First Born as an enemy, so life and death was not a problem. But here … he had to ensure that the First Born was safe.
At this time, Lily's eyes suddenly lit up. She remembered something. "Oh yes, the brain nucleus! The brain nucleus of the First Born seems to be able to survive outside the body. All its memories and thoughts are in the brain nucleus. That thing doesn't seem to be big, right? "
The hope in everyone's heart was suddenly ignited. Hao Ren also thought of the red ball he brought out of Helcrown. As the core of the First Born's mind, it was only a few meters in size. If that thing could be taken out, there might be a way!
"Well, let's go deeper and see where the brain nucleus of the First Born is." Y 'zaks's muffled voice was reassuring. "Mr. Landlord, do you know how to find it?"
"It's very simple. Follow the nerve signals." Hao Ren immediately pointed to the sensors he had just set up. "Connect these things directly to the tentacles. The strong nerve signals of the First Born are issued from the brain, so it should be easy to detect."
The various research results of CARS finally came in handy. Through the analysis of the two Holletta samples, Hao Ren now had a certain understanding of the physiological characteristics of the First Born. He knew how to track the nerve signals of the First Born and identify most of the latter's tissues and organs. He believed that the brain nucleus was buried deep underground, but it should not be too deep. If it was too close to the earth's core, it would be burned by the high temperature, which would affect the stability of the brain nucleus.
Hao Ren released all the autonomous robots in his Dimensional Pocket. Together with his teammates, a large group of people began to install the sensors on the tentacles of the First Born in the cave. The shape of the sensors was like a palm-sized cylinder. When it came into contact with the object that needed to be scanned, it would immediately deform, and the lower part of the sensor would fit perfectly on the rough surface of the tentacles of the First Born. The MDT knew what Hao Ren was doing and immediately began to cooperate. It called all the spare threads of the spacecraft's host and began to analyze the massive data from the sensors to find the parts that belonged to the biological nerve impulses. Everything seemed to be suddenly hopeful, and everyone's enthusiasm was inspired.
Lily was responsible for cutting the shell of the alloy cylinder with her claws and placing the sensors on the surface of the container where the tentacles were stored without affecting the operation of these equipment. Just as she was carefully doing this, a sudden strong vibration almost shook her off the alloy cylinder.
"Boom — crack — crack —"
A strange rubbing sound came from above their heads, and the movement was louder than before. The entire underground bunker began to shake violently as if the whole planet was about to collapse above their heads. Lily shouted in the air, "Whoa! Mr. Landlord, another earthquake! "
"Buddy! Sunrise! Sunrise! " The MDT's voice rang through all the channels. "The sun is rising. The crust above your heads is heating up. Get out quickly!"
Hao Ren struggled to stand in the violent shaking. When the shaking calmed down a little, he looked up at the ceiling of the bunker and then refused the suggestion of evacuation. "Wait a little longer. It looks like we can still hold on here."
"Are you serious?!"
"I'm not being impulsive," Hao Ren explained. "This is deep underground, it should be a little more stable. The collapse of the crust should start from the surface first. This place can probably hold on until the second or third sunrise. And the shelter itself looks very solid … Give me a little more time, maybe the brain is hiding under here. "
The MDT was silent for a few seconds as if it was calculating the feasibility. Then it sighed like a human and said, "Got it. It looks like we can hold on. You must be careful. Once there are signs of collapse, get out immediately. Otherwise, if the disaster avoidance system can't react in time and the crust collapses with hundreds of millions of tons, you will be dead in an instant. "
Hao Ren nodded and continued with his work.
A huge tentacle of the First Born lay in front of him. This was a tentacle that should be the main signal line. It was placed in a long alloy channel, and the upper part was full of electrodes and nutrient pipes. Hao Ren reached out and stroked the rough surface of the tentacle. Although it had always been the most dangerous enemy he had to face, now a strange feeling made him think otherwise.
"I don't know if you can hear me …" Hao Ren patted the skin of the tentacle. "We are working hard. You should hold on a little longer."
