I ask you to design equipment, but you do science fiction for me?

Su Chen and his team have five large interstellar warships.

Inside these five large interstellar warships' storage areas, there were also several smaller interstellar warships.

Each interstellar warship can accommodate more than a dozen people. Tang Yumo and Yuan Jingna each boarded a small interstellar warship and headed into the interior of the planet.

Entering the atmosphere, two interstellar warships.

We arrived at the coordinates and stopped high in the air.

To avoid being discovered by the crawler, Tang Yumo and her group deliberately landed slowly in an open area using their interstellar fighter.

After everyone came down, they set up camp on the hillside.

This exploration may take some time. After building a few simple houses, some people were left to guard them, while the rest of the group headed to the nearby jungle.

Upon reaching the edge of the jungle, someone took out binoculars to peer into the depths of the jungle. After observing for a while, they determined that there was nothing seriously wrong.

Tang Yumo, Yuan Jingna, and the others then slowly continued to approach.

We finally arrived inside the jungle.

Everyone clearly sensed something strange; this jungle was quite different from the jungle they had imagined.

On the screen, because they are looking down from above, they don't feel much of a difference.

But now that they were inside the jungle, and looking at them with their own eyes, they suddenly realized that this jungle was not the same as the jungles they had seen before.

The jungle here is relatively short, but not exceptionally short.

Afterwards, the group began to explore and discuss their surroundings.

Soon, they discovered several caves.

The hole in front of us is the same size as an ant hole.

The experts immediately set up various cameras around the area and then crouched down near the cave to prepare for observation.

Wearing special protective suits, they can completely block out some of their body odor.

Although reptiles have eyes, their eyes don't serve much of a purpose; they perceive their surroundings entirely through another method.

Therefore, they are not worried about being discovered as time slowly passes.

After waiting all day, not a single reptile appeared, and everyone was starting to get anxious. Plus, standing there all day was really tiring.

Fortunately, they could rotate shifts, with another group of experts taking over the assignment.

The remaining experts returned to camp to rest.

This place isn't far from the campsite, so it's quite convenient for everyone.

Tang Yumo stayed at the camp, while Yuan Jingna led the experts to work there.

Several days later, no reptiles were found.

Tang Yumo brought people to replace them. Yuan Jingna led a group of people back to rest and to keep watch over the camp.

Not long after Tang Yumo arrived here, a reptile-like creature appeared.

No one dared to make a sound, silently watching the reptile live.

The reptilian creature had just emerged, only briefly surveyed the area, before returning to the cave.

They looked at each other, feeling somewhat helpless.

The reptiles come out and go back in; they can't observe anything at all.

However, they didn't stay idle these past few days, conducting research and testing on the entire jungle.

I discovered that this jungle wasn't particularly different from jungles on Earth.

However, this jungle only has one type of tree; the ground is covered with branches and withered leaves.

The branches creak and groan underfoot.

Su Chen and his team were able to see Tang Yumo and her colleagues working through cameras on the interstellar warship.

However, only most of the main areas can be seen.

The group discussed in the meeting room what caused the reptile to be unwilling to come out.

At this point, some people suggested that we should take the next step.

The next step refers to digging a cave.

This step is inevitable.

However, they need to be careful when digging burrows in order to better observe the lives of reptiles.

While digging, the excavated part is replaced with something else so that the reptiles feel that their burrow has not changed.

However, Su Chen and his companions were able to see the lives of reptiles through transparent objects.

This was a plan they had discussed beforehand.

However, Tang Yumo and the others have not made any moves yet.

Su Chen wasn't in a hurry.

After waiting a few more days, Tang Yumo and Yuan Jingna discussed it and finally decided to use the replacement technology.

This technique is relatively simple, but it's quite difficult to implement.

Because they have to dig away the surrounding soil, and the cave is so small, digging is very troublesome, and they might be discovered by reptiles if they are not careful.

They were very careful when they were working.

Every time they dug away a small patch of soil, they would replace it with a transparent object.

As they continued digging, they were able to see part of the cave's outline.

The cave was like a winding line, branching out into many densely packed paths, but no reptiles were ever seen.

Judging from the current situation, the reptilian creatures' burrows are deep enough, deeper than they imagined.

It seems they are quite cautious, which is why they dug so deep.

However, to everyone's surprise, the cave eventually reached a depth of 1 meter, which is very rare.

Because small reptiles like these don't actually have very deep burrows.

At this moment, everyone finally saw the entire living environment of the reptile.

Through the transparent object, they could see a small number of reptiles working in an orderly fashion. Some were carrying things, which were leaves, but not withered leaves. They were fresh leaves, still emitting a green hue, though the green was not particularly fresh; they must have been stored for a long time.

The cave has only just been excavated, yet a great deal of information has already been discovered.

First of all, there are not many of these reptiles; about thirty or forty live in one cave.

Besides, reptiles probably eat things like leaves.

They only see leaves and nothing else around, so they believe the reptile may be a type of bacteria on the tree.

After many, many years of evolution, it has finally reached its current state.

They feed on leaves and other plants, and their way of life is somewhat similar to that of other reptiles, with a relatively strict hierarchical system.

One of the female insects was probably the most prestigious; it rested alone in one place, with two reptilian creatures guarding its entrance.

Other reptiles live in groups, and this female reptile can lay eggs, thus multiplying into more reptiles.

This was no different from what everyone had imagined; in their minds, reptiles should live like this. Subsequently, everyone sought a deeper understanding of reptiles, observing what they did every day, and discovered that these reptiles were quite peculiar.

They will send out some reptiles at a certain time and then store a large amount of food.

After they had enough food, they stopped coming out and basically stayed inside the cave.

Only one reptile will emerge to experience the outside world.

Su Chen and his team guessed that the reptile might have come out to sense the changing climate.

By observing climate change, they will learn when to store food and when not to.

These are just inferences and have not yet been confirmed.

After watching for a while, Su Chen and the others went about their own business.

We've now reached a stable phase, and people aren't particularly interested anymore.

As for Tang Yumo and Yuan Jingna, they are still sticking to their posts.

People have a great interest in these reptiles and observe their fascinating lives.

However, as time went by, this observation gradually became uninteresting.

this day.

Tang Yumo and Yuan Jingna held a brief meeting.

The meeting concluded that they should leave, as they had done what needed to be done and had conducted a search of the planet's surroundings, finding nothing unusual.

The other jungles, like the jungles they knew, were inhabited by reptiles.

Tang Yumo and her team wanted to bring the caves they had already excavated back to the interstellar warship for research.

They've already dug out the entire burrow of the crawler using replacement technology; they could easily take the whole burrow away.

Before that, however, they need to think carefully about how to remove the cave without affecting the lives of these reptiles.

In particular, changes in the environment must not be allowed to have any impact.

Because any change in the environment will definitely have an impact on reptiles.

They specifically asked Su Chen about this matter.

Su Chen's idea was that since the entire cave was to be brought back, they had to create an environment similar to the one before, a simulation.

Therefore, Tang Yumo and her team need to conduct tests on the planet.

Air quality testing is especially important.

At the same time, they also need to monitor the climate of the entire planet, observing when and what kind of weather changes will occur; this is all necessary.

After Tang Yumo and her group obtained Su Chen's consent, they began their work at the camp.

Their small interstellar warships have some kind of space-creating equipment.

They came very well prepared this time, and setting up a space was something they had planned long ago.

So there are no problems with the materials or anything like that.

First, we need to create the shape of the space.

In order to simulate the environment, Tang Yumo and her team sampled the surrounding environment, achieving a near 1:1 replica.

In other aspects, their reproductions are not particularly good, but they are generally similar.

They recreated the area around the cave beautifully, even simulating which direction the leaves on the cave's perimeter faced and how they were placed on the ground.

They ensured that the surrounding environment was absolutely perfect, down to the length of a single stick, and the colors were exactly the same.

Once everything around us was arranged, all that was left was to adjust the temperature.

That's relatively easy; the temperature on this planet is like springtime, and it's always been like that.

This temperature allows reptiles to live better.

Then, they prepared to move the cave to the space they had prepared.

This migration must be carried out without making any noise or disturbance. If the cave shakes, it could potentially affect the reptiles.

What Tang Yumo and the others are worried about now is that if reptiles appear during the migration, it will be awkward.

In order to move the cave into the simulation space as quickly as possible, they deliberately moved the simulation space next to the cave first.

Then, they began moving the cave.

After many hardships, the cave was finally entered into the space model.

Seeing the reptilian creatures living in the huge model, everyone finally felt relieved.

After bringing the simulation space back to the interstellar warship, the group left the planet.

At this moment, Su Chen and his companions were slightly excited because they had never actually witnessed the life of a reptile.

This time, Tang Yumo and her team will bring back real reptiles so that everyone can see them with their own eyes, which is something that makes everyone very happy.

What makes everyone happiest is that after bringing back the reptiles, they will conduct more in-depth research on them.

This time, we will not only observe their lives, but also touch their bodies or perform dissections.

These are all things that were bound to happen.

Although Su Chen was somewhat resistant, he was not a biology expert, so this part of the matter was not under his jurisdiction, nor would he be responsible for carrying it out.

Tang Yumo and the others returned and placed the simulation space in a large hall.

A group of people gathered around the simulated space, cautiously observing what was happening inside.

One of the experts reached out and touched your space, feeling a slight chill.

He is very excited right now, and he even stutters a little when he speaks.

"When...when can we catch him?"

The group looked at each other; they really wanted to do it, but it wasn't likely at the moment.

Because they don't know much about reptiles, they don't know what effect catching one reptile would have on the others.

They hoped to wait for the reptiles to die naturally, so that their bodies wouldn't remain in the cave after they died.

Because they had observed the cave for so many days and found it to be very clean with no reptile corpses, they assumed that the dead reptile prey would be removed so they could conduct research. This was their initial plan.

That concludes this matter; let's continue our journey.

at the same time.

Wang Jianfeng's weekend plans have finally begun.

Several recruitment points were set up on Earth, and some people were conducting their first recruitment.

Those successfully recruited this time will be taken to Earth 2, and then Wang Jianfeng will organize a group of people to conduct a second expedition.

Once it's confirmed that they have no problems, they can remain on Earth 2.

Things are progressing steadily. Chen Anrong returned to Earth a few days ago and signed up for the assessment.

He was determined to get into Earth 2 through his own efforts, no matter what, without relying on others or connections.

Holding the limited amount of assessment materials, she gave a wry smile. (End of Chapter)
