Chapter 541 (2/2)
Truth be told, he was most worried about the third question, and if he did not balance it out with the first two serious question first, the crazy Goddess would probably blessed him with a dimensional thunder strike…
“Hmmm… Your space laboratory is indeed a pretty bold idea… but since you have already found a stable pathway, as long as you ensure all material and personnel goes through that rift, there won’t be any issues. Your Goddess here too will help you strengthen the connection stability of the areas around earth…. If anything goes wrong, I’ll back you up.” Raven12345 was dependable when it comes to work. “As for the size of the rift that is not a cause of concern. What to you take the Empire for? The Xiling Celestials are the best there is when it comes to dimensional tech. When the time comes, we’ll just compress everything into a small construction cube for you to activate.”
Hao Ren had yet to forget the most pertinent of questions. “So… all of this are borne by the Administration right?”
Raven12345 sniggered. “You sure have a way of asking thing. Reminds me of me in my younger days. Don’t worry, Xiling’s industry and wealth is not just for show. We won’t expect a staff to dig into his own pockets for just a space station. No matter how big the expenses incurred for this endeavour, the Administration will bear the cost. You just need to sign it off.
Hao Ren was relieved hearing that. “That’s good to hear… and actually, the paint of the wall at my place had chipped and I plan to repaint….”
“You f*cking stand there and don’t move. A blessing is coming your way!”
Hao Ren quickly terminated the call and heaved a sigh of relief after things were settled. He then made his way to the living room, looking for old Y’zaks to discuss the matter of visiting New Aerym and his people. But as he stepped into the room neither the demon or his daughter was there. Vivian and Lily on the other hand were huddled together, as if they were studying something.
“What are you two up to?” Hao Ren was surprised. It was rare sight to see this two bickering duo together peacefully.
Lily looked up at Hao Ren and let out an excited howl, her tail wagging in excitement. “We are doing science!”
“You? Doing science?” Hao Ren was amused by that very notion and walked over to see what the pair was up to. He noticed a few pentagonal crystal plates on the tea table. The plates let out a gentle glow, it was mysterious yet intricate and the MDT was by the side of the plates, as if it was helping to analyse the item. “This is…”
“The storage items we could from the planetarium at Tannagost.” Lily pushed the crystal plates before Hao Ren. “The MDT said this is still readable… but you were busy with bigger things so this were left collecting dust.”
Hao Ren only remembered the matter when Lily brought it up. The group was chased by the vengeful spirits from Alamanda to an abandoned planetarium. Wuyue and the rest then found this data slates. It was there too that Hao Ren managed to make contact with the collective conciousness of the Tannaeans, and uncovered the mystery behind the vengeful spirits.
The ancient data slates were indeed valuable research objects but the group soon found an even more valuable object, the Tannagost Data Value, the living sample of the Seed of Origin, the Lifeblood, a living First Born, each and everyone of them an item of extreme interest, and that left the data slates from the planetarium looking a wee bit insignificant.
Of course, Hao Ren did not totally forgot about it, and he actually had the data slate restored when he brought it back to the Petrachelys and had extracted the data from within. But he soon realised that all of the data entailed reading of the stars and did not seem to have anything to do with the First Born, thus he just left the thing sitting there. That was the last time he touched the thing, and it soon became part of Lily’s treasure.
Perhaps boredom got the better of the husky as she took the data slate out to study it. This was probably inspired by the research done in the Petrachely’s lab.
“So what you found?” Hao Ren asked casually.
Lily’s face was however serious. “According to Battie and my professional analysis. Of course mainly me, we think that the last diary entry was just before the First Born’s apocalypse…
Hao Ren had just turned away before he heard that. “Diary? What diary?”
“Astronomical diary entry. Penned by one of the staff at the planetarium.” The MDT said as it floated. “As it looked like a normal diary entry, it was not given much attention. I only just remembered it earlier and got Lily to take out the data slate for reanalysis. Well, their professional analysis not withstanding, these two here are merely part of the crowd.”
Lily and Vivian was speechless.
