Chapter 159.
No one cared about Liu Zhao’s shock, Academician Zhou had already finished working on the space, and as soon as they came out, they immediately started working, bringing the Exalts, with torches, to check the land in this place.
Jiang Yu disappeared into place and came out with a large plate of strawberries in her hand.
She handed it to Ke Jiaxue, “Wash it?”
Ke Jiaxue sighed and skillfully rinsed the strawberries.
When they were washed, she took one for herself and ate it while handing the rest to Sheng An.
Sheng An dropped one into his mouth and threw a few more to Liu Zhao.
Liu Zhao: “……”
It’s good to have a lot of Alter Egos, and to be able to eat such fresh strawberries at this time of the year.
— It’s also quite sweet.
Liu Zhao instinctively looked at Jiang Yu, then he didn’t dare to think too much and retracted his eyes.
Sheng An didn’t say anything.
In the past, Jiang Yu’s space was hidden as a defense against the fae.
But the last time the fae attacked and killed Jiang Yu, it was obvious that they already knew about it, and moreover, the fae had special contact with each other, so this secret could not be hidden at all.
It was no longer necessary to hide it again on purpose.
Of course, for the sake of her safety, there is no need to make it public.
At this time, the only person who is “uninformed” here is Liu Zhao, this guy is a smart person, and very responsible, will never go out and talk nonsense.
Jiang Yu only ate two strawberries before being dragged away by Academician Zhou.
She rolled her eyes, expressionless.
During the second half of the night.
Wan Wan suddenly surprised, “It’s connected!”
Liu Zhao, who was leaning on the ground and dozing off, leapt up at the words, his face full of excitement, “The signal is connected? And the capital can be contacted?!”
Wan Wan nodded, revealing a smile, “You can go back to your communication room now, Elder Zhang wants to have a conversation with you.”
Liu Zhao was filled with excitement and hurriedly returned to the communication room.
Being able to get in touch with the capital base would make all the difference, they could ask for help from the capital if they ran into trouble again.
In addition, no matter if it was the construction of the base or all the arrangements for the people, the country would have planned for it.
Connecting to the signal meant that they would be under the state’s control here.
How could they not be happy?
Liu Zhao left, and Wan Yuan discussed this matter with Sheng An.
Sheng An: “How was it connected?”
Wan Yuan: “Before, no matter how we operated it, it was like it was blocked by something, but just now, it seems like the blockage disappeared, so we were able to get in touch with the capital.”
Sheng An fell into silence.
Hao Jingye counted the time and speculated, “Is it the meteorite debris influence? At this time, it should be the time when Team Qi and the others have collected the meteorite debris from the surrounding area ……”
Sheng An looked at the red signal flashing on the screen and frowned.
The impact of these fragments was much greater than they had imagined, not only affecting the xenos and fae, but also interfering with an entire area, completely blocking the signal.
What in the world was this thing?
And what was its origin?
She fumbled with a piece she had with her and carefully surveyed it.
It looked ordinary, as if it was just a small piece of iron, light in weight, made of a material they hadn’t seen before, and the Institute hadn’t even named it yet.
Sheng An’s grip tightened.
When they collected all the way to the southwest, so many meteorite fragments, what exactly would the Institute spell out?
At dawn, Qi Lingmu and Lai Wan Yun returned with them.
The temperature was climbing rapidly, and staying outside any longer would only be very difficult, but they didn’t rush to go underground, instead, they kept waiting for Qi Lingmu.
Hao Jingye said anxiously, “Team Qi, how are the meteorite fragments distributed?”
Qi Lingmu thought for a moment and circled point after point on the map they had printed out.
“All the meteorites carried a total of five fragments, and they were distributed like this.” Qi Lingmu said as she circled, “Like a pentagon, circling this piece.”
The people from the Meteorite Research Institute were also present.
Dr. Yan frowned tightly, “Let me take a look at a few fragments.”
Lai Wan Yun handed them the fragments.
Dr. Yan took a deep breath and slowly took it.
The Meteorite Research Institute was the one who had direct contact with the meteorite, and like the Special Intelligence Service, they were all at high risk of turning into xenos, but the Special Intelligence Service were xenos, and still xenos who had determined in their last life that they hadn’t turned into xenos.
The Institute of Biological Research analyzed that after a xenophile reaches the middle stage, which is 3 stars or more, the probability is that he or she will not turn into a fae again.
There are 3 stars or more xenos who have turned into fae, and it is highly likely that they were originally fae hidden.
A large portion of the Meteorite Research Institute was currently still ordinary people.
They had been exposed to debris for a long time and had long been prepared for the possibility of turning into fae at any time.
Most of the researchers had the same idea as Dr. Yan – to strive to use their abilities as much as possible and have more research results before turning into fae.
But twenty minutes later, a new diagram came out.
Dr. Yan sucked in a breath of cold air and handed it to Sheng An: “This piece of B11 will be out of contact, it is indeed related to the meteorite fragments, these five pieces form an encircling trend, and according to the ratio of the radiation ranges of the fragments that we had before, their radiation ranges overlap, resulting in the intermediate area being disconnected from the outside world.”
The diagram was distinct, each point of the meteorite fragments had a radiation range.
And the five fragments’ radiation ranges overlapped, circling the area of B11.
Sheng An’s expression was cold as he summarized, “Fragments and shards will have a superimposed effect.”
That’s right!
Dr. Yan and the others were certain of this, which was why they sucked in a breath of cold air.
The shards would have affected the world, superimposed their influence, or the way one plus one affects more than two!
Hao Jingye rubbed his brow, “That means that by collecting the fragments, we might cause the impact to be maximized, and who knows what will happen?”
Jiang Yu: “Is it useful for Lai Wan Yun and Zhang Kun to be in space?”
Their space is static.
Dr. Yan shook his head and let out a long sigh, “Alas, it’s been tried long ago, their space can be static, but the impact of the meteorite fragments won’t diminish in the slightest.”
Space could only hold debris, and there was no way to isolate the impact.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have such a headache.
Song Linwei: “But if we don’t collect it, and it’s just scattered, the situation won’t get better.”
Dr. Yan said with certainty: “It has to be collected, scattering is a chronic suicide with no solution, and only after collecting it is it possible to find an antidote.”
It was at this time.
Outside, a sweaty Academician Zhou, Jiang Yu and the others ran over.
“What’s wrong?” Hao Jingye asked busily.
Sheng An reached out his hand, pulled Jiang Yu inside the car and said to Zhou Academician and the others, “Get in the car first, the sun is out, don’t stay outside.”
The car was large but limited in scope, Jiang Yu took the other fellows into the space, only she and Academician Zhou stayed inside the car.
Academician Zhou handed Sheng An several reports in his hand:
“The land here is very bad, let me put it to you this way, the impact of the meteorite on the land is like poisoning, the greater the impact, the more toxic it is, and the toxicity here is second only to the Stone City after being hit by the last batch of meteorites.
“And, the first few are our test reports, as time passes, the soil toxicity is getting thicker, and with each report, the toxicity gets one point thicker.”
These were backed up by data.
There were also the experiments of the plant exotics, and each time a plant was planted, the survival time was shortening under the effect of the same exotic energy.
Academician Zhou stared at the last one:
“However, after the meteorite fragments were collected by Team Qi, it seems to have slowed down again.”
It was still an upward trend, only, whereas before it was an exponential growth, now it had leveled off a bit, but it was still growth.
Sheng An stared tightly at the piece of paper, and then, slowly raised his head:
“Fragments, must be collected.”
The others nodded at the same time.
Inside the corner, the dozing old man Qin raised his head-
“Staggering on the pitted ground, she said, wrong, all wrong ……”
