Chapter 564 (2/2)
The two vessels were not completely calm. After the First Borns were excavated and placed in the containers for easy observation, Hao Ren had noticed the giant tentacles were not completely still. Some of the tentacles, mainly near the ganglions, would occasionally twitch or swing a little. This could be a form of somnambulism.
But there was worry that these two big guys would suddenly wake up as the ‘lullaby’ system was still keeping them hypnotised. The nerve signal suppressor was on the bottom of the two containers, and CARS itself had a set of broadcasting devices that covered the entire facility. The Petrachelys had already linked the ‘Lullaby’ signal source with the broadcasting system as a double security suppression system. Besides, there were huge ‘syringes’ above the two containers. Once any First Born got out of control, a high concentration of interfering pheromones would be released into those thin inert solutions immediately.
This was a fool-proof prison. Hao Ren felt that he could use this place to detain and study any dangerous creatures he found while on patrol in various worlds.
Vivian did not quite understand the charts and data on the holographic projections. She tilted her head sideway and asked Hao Ren, “What research plan do you have in mind?”
“I want to read the First Born’s mind,” Hao Ren pointed to the holographic projection of the dark red tissues. “Of course, we all know the First Borns are irrational, probably not capable of thinking at all, but it had been normal once. So I think it still retains some memories before it went crazy. Now that we know nothing about the body structure of the First Borns, we only know that they have some ganglions, so we’re going to them a physical check-up….finding out the functions these organs.”
“Oh,” Vivian said, blinking. “That’s epic!”
Hao Ren scratched his chin and nodded slightly. “So we can do something else while waiting for the scan to finish.”
He opened the dimensional pocket before several autonomous robots push two silver-white boxes out.
Hao Ren stepped forward and switched on the identification device of the safe deposit box. A layer of blue light lit up on the boxes which then gradually opened up with a series of mechanical sound, revealing the large balls which glowed in red.
These were the two strange spheres that were brought out from Helcrown.
Up until now, Hao Ren had not figured out what they were for. But it was obviously not a battery. Now that the CARS was running and there was a huge amount of spare computing power, he could just throw the two balls in there for analysis.
Hao Ren knocked on the shell of the MDT. “Send the two samples to Comprehensive Test Lab No. 1. We’ll be there soon.”
After the autonomous robots took the two balls out of the hall, Lily mumbled as she held up her ears. “You studying the balls?”
Hao Ren was almost choked. “…can you be more euphemistic?”
Lily flicked her tail and said, “You studying the eggs.”
Hao Ren: ‘…..”
At this time Vivian interrupted Lily’s train of thought. “Something suddenly crossed my mind: We can check if the First Borns have organ similar to that spheres, perhaps that would shed light on their uses.”
When the penny drops, Hao Ren’s eyes lit up: this is a good idea!
