Sky-cracking Rider
Chapter 1104 1083: Roll Up and Leave
The super-large magic array covering the entire "Atlantis" not only simulates a gravity environment but also stabilizes the geological environment within a certain distance outside the "skylight." The "skylight" isolates inside from outside, blocking severe temperature changes and an atmosphere unsuitable for life.
Although lava still flows in the distance and the ground trembles incessantly, it's not as intense as elsewhere.
However, "Atlantis" still cannot avoid the aftereffects of geological movements from time to time. At most, the seismic intensity is equivalent to a Richter scale magnitude 4 shock, causing waves up to a meter high within the "skylight" area, around the city.
As a city floating on the sea, "Atlantis" itself has a self-stabilizing design, and with the buffering effect of seawater, it can resolve most of the shaking.
"See if you can pull in a few ability users from the 'Ark Project' to help, and first level out a small area."
Chen Fei pondered, as he had considered the ability users from the beginning, but the situation between the Blue Star civilization and the "Sagali" civilization was still unclear. Some things still needed to be kept secret, and couldn't involve too many people.
After all, when there are too many people, some secrets stop being secrets.
Chen Xiao'er couldn't bear such immense pressure alone, even with the two tall fellows like his uncle and Lord Landon. It still wasn't useful.
S-Class Space Ability User Heseman Brown scratched his temple, saying, "I think you seem to have forgotten something; it might be able to help you, and in a big way too."
Chen Fei asked in surprise, "What thing? An S-Class Superpower User? S-Class Superpower Users are fine, but are they reliable?"
He hadn't ruled out seeking help from S-Class Superpower Users. If they were brought into the circle of interests and became allies, they could indeed be a great help. But... people's hearts are unpredictable. Morality has nothing to do with being S-Class. If a bad-hearted or overly public-spirited one comes along, and causes a mess, what would be lost wouldn't just be a "Boundary Pearl".
At that point, Chen Fei wouldn't be 'One Man Army,' fighting at the frontline against the "Sagali" civilization but would become a puppet overwhelmed by various desires with no freedom like a freeloader.
"S-Class Superpower User isn't a thing. Hey! That's not what I meant!"
Heseman Brown had almost accidentally fallen into a trap as soon as he opened his mouth.
Are S-Class Superpower Users things? Aren't they things? It's an endless loop, isn't it!
Chen Fei asked, puzzled, "Then what do you mean?"
Could there be something important that he had overlooked!
"Your seedling!"
Mr. Brown was the second person to know that there was a certain association between the "seed nest" seedling and Chen Fei, aside from him, no third person was aware.
Even Miyoshi Xuesen, as of now, remained completely unaware.
"Seedling? Does the seedling have something to do with this place?"
Chen Fei scratched his head, he vaguely sensed some direction but it wasn't clear.
Until now, he still didn't know what exactly the tender green seedling was after breaking out of the egg, naturally it didn't have a proper name.
However, how could a seedling be related to a huge crater-like "seed nest"? What exactly is the transitional growth relationship between the two? Chen Fei's imagination was completely baffled.
"Think about how McKenny survived on Antalu Planet."
Snap!
"You're right! Geothermal resources, lava! The 'seed nest' can absorb geothermal energy to grow."
Chen Fei clapped his hands, suddenly enlightened.
S-Class Space Ability User Heseman Brown's hint was absolutely correct, yet Chen Fei himself had overlooked it due to the black under the lamp; he had focused only on the seedling providing a huge amount of spiritual power, forgetting about its mother, the "seed nest," McKenny's survival environment.
Before leaving Antalu Planet, McKenny transformed into a gigantic entity, bursting through the surface, causing the entire crust to stir like a volcanic eruption, with scorching lava wrapped in smoke and flames shooting to the sky.
The "seed nest" itself was like a cork plugging the volcanic crater; once unplugged, wouldn't the lava instantly erupt?
If the seedling could absorb the intense energy fluctuations of the "Boundary Pearl" Life Space, presumably, the continental plates would stabilize quickly.
"This is my suggestion, do you think it's feasible?"
Whether it would work, Heseman Brown's words didn't count; it depended on what Chen Fei, who had a connection to the seedling, thought.
"Could give it a try!"
Chen Fei believed the seedling shouldn't be so fragile; after all, its roots could easily penetrate the metallic base of the experimental cabin, it could completely be transplanted into the Life Space for an attempt.
If it doesn't work, it could be moved out again. Alwаys rеаd frоm thе sоurсе:
"Let's go!"
The moment S-Class Space Ability User spoke, both he and Chen Fei's silhouettes instantly vanished from the inner edge of the "skylight".
"Chen, you've arrived at just the right time; there are new findings concerning this plant."
Upon entering the bioscience lab at the Socotra Island encampment zone, several researchers on shift proactively greeted Chen Fei.
As the owner of the seedling, Chen Fei naturally had the right to share in the research findings.
"Let me take a look!"
Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam" immediately connected with the biological lab's database, found the latest research reports that Chen Fei hadn't yet viewed, and quickly highlighted the key parts.
"Such a high temperature tolerance?"
Chen Fei found the information he wanted.
The seedling's ability to withstand temperature exceeded the limits of Blue Star's organisms, taking a lava bath wasn't an issue at all; even if thrown into a steel furnace, it could be retrieved whole.
One of the experts didn't notice Chen Fei's gaze drifting as if looking at something, and explained in a self-centered manner, "That's right, it's almost not like a plant, no, not like a living being. It can practically survive on most planets within the Solar System, including Venus and Pluto, and even directly tossed into outer space, it can grow as long as it obtains material. If there's no growth limit, it might grow into a planet."
"If tossed into a volcanic crater, would that be a problem?"
Chen Fei inquired for the experts' professional opinions.
"No problem at all, you could even consider an active volcano as a natural flowerpot."
Heaven knows during Chen Fei's absence, what exactly those maniacal scientists had done to the seedling.
"Great, I'm taking the seedling!"
Chen Fei directly entered the sealed experimental cabin.
"Hey hey, where are you taking it?"
Having discovered an extraordinary plant, these researchers instantly sprang with countless experimental projects, reluctant to let Chen Fei take away this treasure.
"Confidential! Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask!"
"Confidential" was indeed a good word, Chen Fei immediately immobilized the inquisitive researchers, no extra explanation needed.
"Um... can you bring it back?"
The researcher who had explained to Chen Fei gazed longingly at the seedling in Chen Fei's arms, even the full metallic base was taken away.
"Depends on the situation!"
Chen Fei was about to step forward but a sudden darkness blocked his eyes.
All the scientists had blocked the path solidly.
"Move aside!"
Chen Fei calmly looked at these people.
It's not hard to understand; for the seedling, these researchers had traveled countless miles to get here. If the seedling disappeared, wouldn't their previous efforts be wasted?
To them, this seedling still held numerous secrets, and until they were unlocked, they wouldn't feel at ease.
"The experiment isn't finished yet. If you can't guarantee to bring it back, then you can't take it away."
These researchers immediately achieved a tacit consensus, not fearing Chen Fei's identity as an Ability User.
Most who work in scientific research are determined individuals; without determination, there wouldn't be results. They don't recognize their relatives when obsessed; they fear no death, would they fear Chen Xiao'er?
Chen Fei pondered and tried suggesting, "If I can't guarantee to bring it back, then… take you all along?"
The few scientists present exchanged glances.
"Alright!"
If it can't be brought back, then follow along.
Logical harmony!
"Inform your family, direct kin, to gather at Socotra Island. Once you go, you'll never return in your lifetime."
Chen Fei adopted another confidentiality method, directly to "roll up and leave," ensuring no secrets would leak. After all, not everyone could possess something like a "Stargate Ring".
Until now, the "Stargate Ring" was exclusively possessed by Chen Fei, with no branches.
Even the Neanderthal tribe, they no longer have the resources and abilities to create such a thing again, not to mention lacking the manpower now.
A buzz of murmurs echoed through the bioscience lab; the scientists quickly unified their decision again, collectively nodding, "No problem!"
"I'll go gather my family right away!"
"Isn't lifetime confidential research just fine?"
"As long as the experiment continues, everything else is trivial."
"Anyway, my youngest is idling all day, might as well call him over to lend a hand."
...
Everyone in the lab had received centrally managed phones, notifying not only the colleagues on rest but also contacting each of their family members one by one.
Especially those whose families were in the American Federation, it was just right to take advantage and escape from that troubled place.
Patiently waiting for ten plus minutes, Chen Fei asked again, "Is everything alright?"
