Chapter 1538 - Nolan’s Observations (2/2)
“How?” Nangong Wuyue rolled her eyes. “Don’t forget Nolan isn’t working yet!”
Hao Ren touched his chin and said, “Actually, in my Dimensional Pocket, there are some cruise…”
Everybody rolled their eyes before Hao Ren finished speaking. “Okay, okay, I know this isn’t something you’re used to… But honestly, if you take the combat part down, we can still…”
This time everybody just ignored him.
“Ahem, Nolan, turn your antenna to these space bases.” Hao Ren could only cough awkwardly and change the topic. “Capture their communication signals. Understand how this ‘society of survivors’ work from their information networks, then judge whether these survivors are able to reach out smoothly. How long will it take you to relaunch?”
“The engine system and navigation system will be back in three days, but to be on the safe side, I suggest you wait an extra day—I can get some of the weapon platforms fixed, and most importantly, the shield system will be back in full on the fourth day.”
“There’s no difference between three and four days.” Hao Ren nodded. “Collect as much information on the society of survivors as possible during this period and work out the contact plan with them before the fourth day. What about the UAV fleet?”
“The first advance UAV fleet has entered the X star cluster about an hour ago, but it’s a bit far away,” Nolan said. “I did a blind hop without any guidance after the raid, directly leading us to the depths of the X star cluster. We’re thousands of light-years away from the jump points that the UAV fleet can reach. And since the attack on us, the energy environment in the X star cluster has changed. A high amount of highly-active divine energy has been roaming around the cluster like a patrol, blocking most of the hyperspace signals. It’s limiting my ability to command and dispatch the UAV fleet.”
“That’s okay. The UAV fleet will know what to do. Use the remaining bandwidth to send a command to all UAVs to move in pioneering mode towards the planetary system where our spaceship is located. Get them to set up production bases and bunkers along the way, each with powerful antennas. Aren’t there disturbances in space? Let the UAVs line the fort and force a physical communication chain. I don’t believe we can’t penetrate the X star cluster’s layer of interference this way.”
“Got it.”
Hao Ren rubbed the gap between his eyebrows. They were still in such a gloomy situation that he felt like he needed some good news. “Anything else to report? It better be refreshing…”
“Yes, about the First Born,” said Nolan.
Hao Ren suddenly regretted his request a little. That was not what he wanted!
However, he could not ignore the report on the First Born, so he had to let Nolan report. “Well… just tell me.”
“In accordance with your instructions, I’ve been monitoring the movements of the First Born on this planet. I’ve also released several probes into some natural caves as well as cracks in the earth’s crust to search for the First Born’s neural structure. After 24 hours of observation, I found something unusual.”
“Something unusual?” asked Hao Ren.
“I found a large amount of biological tissue in the planet’s crust to confirm that the First Born is now at a standard adult state. At this stage, the First Born is supposed to have pretty intense neural activity, which can even lead to visible supernatural phenomena on the planet’s surface if left unchecked. However, the level of neural activity detected by the probe is unusually low.” Nolan sounded puzzled. “The signals detected at several key nerve nodes even suggest that this First Born has lost control of its limb. There are only the most basic conditioned reflexes in the tentacles, but no more advanced nerve impulses.
Hearing that, Vivian could not help but mutter, “How could this be?”
“Judging from the information available, I believe that the First Born of this planet is… brain dead.”
