Chapter 583: Chapter 162: Early Arrival of Feedback_3
“What’s the complexity?”
Everyone’s attention is immediately captured by this question.
Sandra directly asks.
“I’m not sure yet, just my intuition,”
Link confides.
He indeed doesn’t know yet. If it wasn’t for the “Small World” pulsating, he wouldn’t have noticed anything unusual about these insect eggs.
“What needs to be done?”
Sandra asks again.
“Nothing for now, let me inspect further,”
Link straightforwardly answers.
“Okay.”
Sandra is not disappointed and commands everyone who was concentrating on this issue to get back to their work posts, focusing on their tasks.
This provides Link with the space to research.
“Let’s see what makes you so special.”
Squatting down in front of the insect eggs, Link doesn’t use any equipment but maximizes his sensory ability, “scanning” the insect eggs again and again.
At the same time, Franda is also doing her best to communicate with the “Small World” origin, trying to figure out what it yearns for.
A moment later, the two make discoveries at the same time.
The “Small World” origins tells Franda it is yearning for the unique radiation it had sensed before.
Link finds that there is a very minute and obscure radiation fluctuation inside the insect egg.
Last time, Link had speculated that there might be a radiation source that could promote the evolution of the Insect Race.
At that time, it was the already born Insect Race individuals that were being exposed to radiation from the source, forcibly screening out the surviving, evolved individuals.
This had left many settlements empty without any insects, devoid of any life.
Link can’t help but admire the Insect Race’s strong ability to adapt.
High mortality rate from direct exposure?
Start exposing to the radiation source while still inside the insect eggs, enabling early adaptation.
As such, the successfully born insects naturally have more resistance, can better withstand the exposure to the radiation source, and the chances of successful evolution become greater.
Having figured this out, Link adds a goal to this mission: to get a radiation source.
He wants to see what change will occur in the “Small World” after it has absorbed the radiation source.
“This needs containment.”
Link stands up, shares his deductions with Sandra, and makes a suggestion.
“Okay.”
Sandra gives a nod to Lanny, who is waiting nearby.
Lanny immediately takes out isolation devices from her Storage Magic Tools and instructs the mannequins to move the insect eggs into the isolation device one by one.
Suddenly, Link remembers the living insect egg found among a pile of dead eggs last time, asking, “How is the testing result of that egg from last time?”
Sandra briefly replies: “It died.”
Link immediately understands.
The vitality of that insect egg was already very low. Sudden changes in the environment, despite constant replenishment of life energy, could not prevent its death.
Since Sandra didn’t mention more about the test results, it means that there’s nothing to mention.
The research of this small settlement is quickly completed.
The Mini legion tidies up and sets off for the next destination.
During a rest on the way, Jasmine approaches Link, sending a message mentally: “Link, I need to collect some specific resources for the cultivation of the Nest Seed.”
“Is it a large quantity?”
“Yes.”
Link thinks a bit and replies: “I’ll go discuss it with Sandra.”
Jasmine shakes her head: “I’ll do it myself.”
After saying this, Jasmine breaks the mental connection and goes directly to Sandra.
The Anti-Eavesdropping Rune Barrier works.
Even Link couldn’t hear what Jasmine and Sandra were saying, let alone the others.
Everyone could only see Sandra’s face change a bit, seemingly somewhat indignant, but it’s very clear it wasn’t directed at Jasmine.
By the time the Anti-Eavesdropping Rune Barrier is disabled, Sandra’s facial expression has returned to normal.
While Jasmine’s eyes flash with a hint of joy.
“How’d it go?”
Link directly asks Jasmine as she comes back to his side.
“Sandra has assigned another shuttle and some Mining Puppets from the ‘Cloud Rainbow’ ship to excavate resources in other places,”
Jasmine replies, “She stressed that since she’s already a member of ‘Do Whatever You Like’, she should contribute to the development of the organization and its other members.”
“Okay.”
Link nods, not saying anything more.
Having agreed to Sandra joining ‘Do Whatever You Like,’ isn’t this a benefit?
It brings not only trouble!
