CHAPTER 1108: CHAPTER 1087: TRANSFER COMPLETE

Seeing the expressions of sudden realization on both their faces.

Chen Xiao’er silently gave himself a thumbs up. Mr. Brown, as a tool, was incredibly handy. Even a completely fabricated psi skill could smoothly pass the test.

After all, up to now, the psi skill "Isolation" that covers the three abnormal regions on Blue Star’s surface is still intact there.

Even if something unusual was detected, he could totally shift the blame to Heseman Brown. Isn’t that how tools are used?

"Stay here obediently. If anything happens, just call me directly."

Chen Fei made a phone gesture, then turned around and vanished on the spot.

"That guy actually had this up his sleeve!"

Lin Zixian said resentfully, not knowing to whom he was referring.

"Let’s clean this place up first. I remember there are many farms that need to be managed."

Ginny wasn’t unfamiliar with "Atlantis," having stayed there for several months.

After the "Wall of Sighs" task force took over, they immediately took control of the plantations and livestock farms. The fields newly created on Socotra Island had just sprouted, but the plantations in "Atlantis" were almost at the harvest stage.

Ginny’s family are all skilled workers, adept at farming, and they could quickly get this city up and running.

However, with just over two thousand people, it’s like tossing a handful of gravel into a lake, not nearly enough to fill it up.

So the second wave consisted of more than 2,800 people from the "Ark Plan," ten more than the original list. The extras were love children from within this group, all babies, with hundreds of pregnant women expected soon.

The relocation of the Element Annihilation Team involved many machines and materials, so it took quite a bit of time—two whole days to move everything, plus half a day to get the equipment back up and running.

The family members of S-Class Space Ability User Heseman Brown had it the easiest. They moved with their house, needing no packing, just relocating their home into "Atlantis," placing it on a plot of land in the city, and connected utilities and energy supplies.

Other than clashing slightly with the full-metal buildings around, there were no other issues.

On the kilometer-long giant battleship, only Chen Fei, Monk Miyoshi, Dang Wei Jun, and Heseman Brown remained, all gathered on the bridge, with the adjacent cabin packed with Sparrow Sparrows.

More than 3,000 ship-borne Pure Light Sparrows finally flew in and out of the ship freely, successfully occupying the entire vessel.

The base where the airship was located wasn’t deserted; scientific research personnel and assistants drawn from various sovereign powers were left, mainly distributed in biological disciplines such as botany, microbiology, genetics, biochemistry, and cell biology.

After Chen Fei took the seedling away, these researchers idled away, starting to farm the fields left by the Jinnie Clan, although all were either Ph.D.s or professors, with the lowest education being a master’s, apprenticing with their mentors, engaging in work unrelated to their fields, yet enjoying it greatly.

The first batch of researchers’ families arrived by transport airship at Socotra Island. Upon disembarking, they were puzzled at the sight of the vast fields.

The promised biological lab had become a plantation farm.

No questions asked, time to farm together!

With ready fields, machinery, and fertilizers, it’d be a shame not to farm.

The hard work of the Jinnie family was not wasted. As long as someone farmed, the harvest would be shared among them.

After waiting a week on Socotra Island, most of the laboratory’s researchers’ families had arrived.

Only a few stubbornly refused to call their families over or leave, but Chen Fei didn’t indulge them; the combat mechs were ordered to escort these excess individuals onto the airship, directly dumping them at Aden International Public Airport on the bay’s opposite side, telling them to get lost.

What the hell, it was supposed to be closed research with families, yet they were still up to no good, likely trying to spy.

There might still be some who slipped through, but once they entered the Life Space of the Boundary Pearl, they had no choice. External communications had to pass through Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam" and Chen Fei.

All the laboratory equipment was packed into the Life Space of the "Boundary Pearl." Once settled, the expert team came together.

"Atlantis" was land-rich and people-poor, the lab expanded more than tenfold its original size, but wasn’t overly empty. Chen Fei made some modifications, especially a cylindrical three-dimensional holographic projection chamber, thirty meters in length, width, and height.

A plant, no longer a sapling, was projected inside, with 1:1 scale, standing over three meters tall, lush and vibrant. Though a three-dimensional holographic projection, it looked like the real thing.

"Is this little seedling?"

After being out of sight for over half a month, the experts were stunned.

Even with growth hormones, it couldn’t grow so wildly.

"That’s right!"

Behind the glass, Chen Fei nodded.

"Can we go in?"

Having brought his family, Professor Dong from Life Space wandered a full circle but still couldn’t find the door.

Impossible to have a door, the three-dimensional holographic projection chamber was fully enclosed, filled with special aerosols to give the projection beams exceptional clarity and color, with specially made isolation glass to minimize reflections, making it seem as if facing the real thing.

"It’s fully enclosed, you can’t get in. Besides, what use is there? It’s a three-dimensional holographic projection."

Chen Fei saw no one realized they weren’t seeing the real thing.

"Three-dimensional holographic projection?"

The experts pressed themselves against the observation glass wall, eyes wide, looking inside. From one position to another, it almost seemed real.

"The real location is full of high temperatures and toxic gases, too dangerous for you guys. For observation, use this holographic projection. If you need biological samples, schedule it and have the mechs do it. Humans shouldn’t go; an accidental lava bath is an error that can only be corrected in the next life."

Chen Fei wasn’t fooling these experts; the seedling’s planting site was about 4,000 kilometers from "Atlantis," in an absolute life-forbidden zone. Only the original "Seed Nest" could produce it. Transplanted to Blue Star, nothing could survive; just taking it out would turn it to ash.

A Harvard expert asked skeptically, "Where did you plant the experiment subject?"

Surely you didn’t plant it in a volcano’s crater?

The original little seedling might be lava-resistant; however, if an eruption occurred, who knows where it would end up, or sucked into the mantle, that would be a bigger problem.

"Location is confidential. Other than limiting access, it doesn’t affect your experiments."

Chen Fei planted the seedling in the most suitable place, though it wasn’t suitable for relocating "Atlantis."

The central area of the Life Space was the most dynamic for energy cycles. That’s why this plant’s growth changed daily, potentially growing into a towering tree soon.

Around the original seedling, the researchers looked at each other, ultimately agreeing to this approach.

Non-contact observation has its advantages—three-dimensional holographic projections flawlessly detail every growth step, real-time data tracking, even simulating growth over time, like foliage height, root length, trunk diameter, branch count, and leaf statistics, readily available. The observation wall is also a touch display, activated with specific gestures to access various interfaces, supporting multiple users simultaneously.

Once familiar with this new observation method, experts quickly got to work.

Chen Fei also needed these professionals to study the strange plant for him, curious to understand the original intent of "Seed Nest" McKenny when giving him this seed.

However, the clues gathered so far suggest this plant isn’t so simple. It’s not parasitic, yet seems symbiotic, with Chen Fei sharing the plant’s raging spiritual power without any apparent risks.

Currently, it’s the tropical dry season, and Socotra Island’s landform characteristics and ecological environment are most unlike Blue Star, under clear skies.

With no others on the island, Chen Fei, Miyoshi Xuesen, Dang Wei Jun, and Heseman Brown sat on the ground, enjoying a leisurely afternoon tea.
