CHAPTER 777: CHAPTER 343: PLANETARY TERRAFORMING

Mochizuki Masashi finished speaking in one breath; it seemed he had already devised such a plan, and the difficulty of execution wasn’t high. This only confirmed Lin Xian’s previous suspicions that Mochizuki Masashi had ambitions beyond just escaping Silent City.

Subsequently, Mochizuki Masashi brought up a holographic diagram to elaborate on his plan and its details.

According to his plan, the entire team could only hold out for about 15 more days at most. During this time, Mochizuki Masashi had already achieved a lot. His Intelligent Brain core quickly solved analysis formulas related to the dark invasion, developing a material structure called "Black Crystal," which could short-term shield the efficiency of dark invasions up to 10%. Although this was still in a nascent stage, it was an exhilarating breakthrough for all of humanity. It indicated that Mochizuki Masashi might have found a correct path, and he also obtained a lot of effective information in Star Abyss. If these successes were revealed, the impact would be nothing less than the shock Xilan City experienced when they discovered the "Dark Mark"!

But due to Lin Xian’s appearance, Mochizuki Masashi decided to advance the cooperation and withdrawal plan for both parties!

As for Lin Xian, the original plan of magnetic levitation leap remained unchanged. Collaborating with Mochizuki Masashi actually saved him trouble, otherwise, without Mochizuki Masashi’s reminder, venturing to Silent City might have led to significant troubles.

Besides the Abyssal Giant Beast, even the bizarre internal tides and Red Man Gu would be enough for Lin Xian to deal with.

After Lin Xian and Mochizuki Masashi reached a consensus, Mochizuki Masashi gathered the core members and had Qian Suxun synchronize the White City intelligence they had obtained with everyone else.

From the other side’s disclosures, Lin Xian and the others learned that the secret research facility of Deep Red World’s White City was located beneath that wastewater treatment plant. Numerous robots and surveillance equipment were set for protection, and in addition, there was the Red Man Gu... and above that, the Fish-tailed Lion Statue floated.

"Every 4-6 days, a transport ship from a specific direction outside Star Abyss sails to White City following the internal tides’ patterns, carrying about 150 ’research team’ members. According to external time, this only takes around 12 hours. Their route must have undergone countless ’death’ experiments, minimizing the chances of encountering Dark Abnormalities. If they die, they relay information back via signal repeaters to continue transmission. Due to the redshift effect, the information nodes received externally are very weak. Likewise, Star Abyss also chooses the timing to transport ’experimental data’ out. What we need to do is intercept these outgoing replicas."

Qian Suxun stood before a holographic map, explaining the plan details to Lin Xian and the others. Present at this moment were other core members of Silent City like Ryuji and Tianye Lan.

Upon hearing this, KIKI narrowed her eyes slightly and said seriously, "But those replicas need to be alive to take the Conscious Memory out, right? The signal repeaters won’t work much over more than a thousand kilometers of Star Abyss environment."

"Yes, but there are quite a few replicas in Deep Red World." Short-haired woman Tianye Lan spoke with a somewhat resonant voice, "We’ve seen too many; they were all once pitiful survivors."

Lin Xian addressed Qian Suxun, "What she’s saying is that Deep Red World’s research data can’t all be sent purely by unknown means. Some critical research nodes surely require a comprehensive backup. If this trip doesn’t succeed, the next group coming in must catch up with the research progress."

"You’re right," Qian Suxun nodded, "As we speculate, there must be an integrated backup in that wastewater treatment plant’s research facility. However, intercepting outgoing replicas is relatively low-risk and more efficient because the outgoing replicas must carry the latest ’Conscious Memory’ and research material contents. Besides, that wastewater treatment plant, in addition to Red Man Gu, features a Fish-Lion Statue. As long as someone observes its front, it will release a high-intensity dark invasion and trigger a spatial effect, making it hard to approach."

Upon hearing Qian Suxun’s words, Lin Xian and the others understood the characteristics of that Fish-Lion Statue. No wonder Shi Deyuan, Ning Jing, and Lin Xian were nearly mentally devastated after seeing the statue’s front side.

At this point, Ning Jing said, "I understand what you mean, but other than that statue, the biggest trouble is some robots and Red Man Gu. The rest are just researchers. We have so many people; it might not be difficult to destroy them all at once."

"They worry about alerting the enemy. Once Deep Red World’s lair is breached, there surely will be some self-destruct procedure to destroy the data," Qian Deli said seriously at this moment.

"Hmph, haven’t we already discussed this? People from Deep Red World know about Silent City, so why worry about alerting anyone?" Monica crossed her arms, "I just can’t understand why they act so fearlessly, knowing you have your sights set on them. Could it be they can control that statue?"

"Hmm, why did that statue appear in Akse and here?" KIKI asked at this moment.

"That Fish-tailed Lion Statue is a mutated emblem of Lion City. There are three in total. Deep Red World brought two out of Star Abyss, triggering some kind of black wave anchor effect and causing irregular expansions of Star Abyss," Qian Suxun answered.
