After greeting them, Tang En found an excuse to call Otinia out. "How's the situation?"
"I didn't find any psionic radiation in their bodies. They have completely merged with the psionic energy. I also discovered something else. They are now completely immune to psionic radiation."
Otinia looked down at Tang En. "Speaking of which … why are you all so small?"
"Because the entrance to the passage is narrow."
Tang En deactivated his shapeshifting spell. Although the passages inside the bastion were very wide, the heavy atmosphere made them forget about it. Thus, Jean and the rest were still in their shrunken forms.
"Oh, isn't that what you like?"
"I'm … You …"
Twain was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly looked at Otinia in horror. Where did this girl's moral integrity go? She actually dared to talk dirty with him?
"What about me?"
Otinia said nonchalantly. "You want to bring them back to Prandal and use their knowledge to perfect the missing technology and develop faster?"
"Isn't that natural?"
Tang En shrugged. "They are probably the most valuable asset on Lolita now. Even the psionic engine in the core of this place can't compare to the knowledge in their minds."
Although the psionic engine was important, as long as they had the knowledge in their minds, as long as they could defeat the Chaos army, they would definitely be able to recreate the corresponding technology one day. If they could not defeat the Chaos army, then even if they obtained the psionic engine, it would be useless.
Thus, Tang En's current task was to use their knowledge to develop the weapon system. At the same time, he would be able to complete the missing links in the technology tree. He would be able to further perfect physics, chemistry, material science, structural mechanics, information communication science, network science and so on. This was something that he could not do on his own. He had to rely on the knowledge in the minds of the gnomes and gnomes.
"You don't give up on using anything that can be used. I'm starting to believe that you can really save the world."
Otinia nodded and said, "Perhaps you can study their bodies."
Tang En was shocked. "I'm not interested in gnomes!"
"Haven't you always been a vegetarian?"
"What I meant was that I want you to study their mutation. It's very interesting. Even we didn't expect such a change to happen to them. Life forms that can fuse with psionic energy are very special. If you can understand the mystery, you might be able to complete the evolution of the Prandal life forms and give them the ability to use psionic energy."
Let all Prandal life forms obtain the ability to use psionic energy? This sounded very unreliable.
"What's the point?"
Tang En frowned. "The ancestors of the gnomes and goblins could also use psionic energy, but didn't they go extinct in the end?"
"Psionic energy is an energy with a higher energy level than magic. It is the super energy source used by the prehistoric civilization. You don't understand the significance of this energy source to normal civilizations."
Otinia slowly said, "The prehistoric civilization actually didn't fully utilize the power of psionic energy. They just used it in a very stupid way. Let me give you an example. They probably used a star to light a match. Do you understand?"
"Using a sledgehammer to crack a nut?"
"It's not using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. To be precise, the way they used energy was too low-level. The power they used was less than one ten-thousandth of the power of psionic energy. It was all wasted."
Otinia said indifferently, "But they were too ambitious. They weren't satisfied with the power of psionic energy and tried to absorb a higher level of Void energy, which led to the destruction of their civilization."
Tang En understood what she meant. "So, you're saying … you want us to find a way to make psionic energy mutate from them and then obtain the power to control psionic energy?"
"That's right. The Prandal civilization of this generation was built on magic. The Divines are already very familiar with using the power of the mind to control the energy in the Void. If the people of this generation can master the way to use psionic energy, I think it will be much better than them."
Otinia nodded. "Although you can't use psionic energy to attack the creatures of Chaos, psionic energy is of a very high energy level. It can be of great help to your development. If you can increase the efficiency of its use, the development of the entire society will increase at an astonishing speed."
Tang En thought about it carefully and agreed. One of the most important factors that restricted the development of society was energy. Without energy, even the most advanced equipment and powerful weapons would lose their effectiveness, and the entire society would come to a halt because of this.
If there was such a powerful, almost inexhaustible super energy source, it meant that their development would not encounter the bottleneck of an energy crisis, and they would be able to go on smoothly.
"I'll think about it, but is it feasible?"
Tang En felt that it was a suicide mission. Being exposed to psionic radiation would most likely lead to death. Even if they survived, they would not become the Hulk. Who would take such a risk?
Otinia asked Tang En in return. "Since there are already examples in front of you, why do you think it's not feasible?"
"It's mainly because our biology hasn't developed to that extent yet …"
Tang En smiled bitterly. "Right now, we can't even analyze what kind of mutation has occurred in their bodies. Is it physiological or physical? We don't even know if their genes have changed. How can we start the research without knowing anything? We can't just take the initiative to expose them to psionic radiation without knowing anything. "
"We didn't have it before, but we do now, don't we?"
Otinia pointed to the survivors in the hall. "Let them analyze their own bodies."
Tang En was stunned. "It's my fault!"
Among the survivors, there were senior engineers specializing in biology and botany in order to establish an ecological cycle on the Battlestar. They must have the relevant professional knowledge. If they could help restore the energy supply of some of the surviving equipment, they would definitely come in handy.
"I'll leave the rest to you."
After Otinia finished speaking, she turned around and went back to the cockpit.
After pondering for a moment, Tang En came to the hall. "Everyone …"
"Oh my God! You're so tall! "
Tang En was stunned when he heard this familiar line. Then he found that the survivors were all looking at him with dull faces. "Isn't this our benefactor, Lord Tang En!? You … How did you suddenly become so big!? Is this also because of the psionic radiation!? "
"Uh …"
Klotto suddenly remembered that he did not have time to explain the situation to them. He smiled bitterly and said. "It's not a mutation, he was originally this tall … And to be precise, except for me and Levitz, everyone here is this tall."
"What?! How can there be such a tall and intelligent creature in this world?! "
"Impossible! How are their bloated bodies able to provide nutrients for their brains?! "
"According to the ratio of body to brain, a creature of this size shouldn't have such advanced intelligence!"
While speaking, Tang En had already removed the transformation technique on the others. Suddenly, the slightly empty hall became lively again.
As a result, the surviving prehistoric survivors were all dumbfounded. Those friends who were on equal footing just now had all become giants more than twice their height in the blink of an eye. Who could bear such a contrast?!
What was even more frightening was …
"Ahhhhhh!!! L-L-Liviz, are you really our descendant!? "
The sharp cry caused a commotion. The reason was that the surviving goblins suddenly discovered that Reeves, who was originally the same size as them, had suddenly swelled several dozen times, turning into an incomparably bloated monster over six meters tall!
Tang En facepalmed. "I knew it would be like this …"
It wasn't easy for Tang En and the others to explain Reeves' special situation to the ancestors and restore the chaotic hall to its original state. But even so, the ancestors still looked at Reeves with eyes full of inexplicable shock. But … what's with that strange light in the eyes of that biology student!? Do you want to dissect him?!
Tang En's mouth twitched. "I've already set up the teleportation formation in the dormant room and adjusted the spatial coordinates. We can teleport back to Prandal from there at any time."
Selna was a little dissatisfied. "Since that's the case, why do we have to return here? It's so troublesome to run back and forth."
Yusdisa gently tugged at her and whispered a few words in her ear. Selna was then enlightened.
Tang En said, "Everyone can rest here for a while. I'll find a place nearby to set up a teleportation formation. Otherwise, it'll be too troublesome to travel between Lorita's surface and underground. Later, we'll return to Ellington directly from here."
Tang En finished speaking and went to find a safe place to set up the teleportation formation. Although the ancestors were curious, they had just woken up and were curious about everything. Now, just studying the interior of the spaceship was enough to make them excited, so they did not mention anything about following Tang En.
An hour later, Tang En returned. This time, he brought the others out of the spaceship and came to the base of Anluo Observatory Station No. 2. "I walked around and found that this place was the most suitable, so I might as well do it here. Now, I've already created a biosphere around the teleportation formation, so we don't have to worry about survival."
Then, Tang En activated the teleportation formation. A teleportation gate that emitted a faint glow appeared above the teleportation formation.
He pointed at the glowing portal and said, "Well then, ancestors of the gnomes and goblins, Prandal is waiting for your return on the other side of the portal after ten thousand years. Who will be the first to come?"
"Me!"
"Me!"
"It should be me!"
In the blink of an eye, these fellows who had just woken up started fighting again.
Indeed, no matter how many years have passed, the personalities of the dwarves and goblins did not change at all.
