Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga

After Abobbas was destroyed by Tiga, Redel also rescued the Earthlings that Abobbas had captured and sent them all back to Earth through the spaceship's portal.

Xincheng lay on the ground, gazing blankly at the night sky.

Soon, he recalled the memory of being stuffed into the stone pillar by Abbas.

"Doctor, this is too much of a rip-off," Shinjo sighed.

He truly hadn't expected that he wouldn't be able to transform after entering Abbas's spaceship.

At this moment, Zongfang and Lina also arrived at the scene to maintain order.

"command!"

"Xincheng, are you alright?"

"Are you alright?"

"Mm." Shinjo nodded.

"It's good that you're alright." Zongfang smiled and patted Xincheng on the shoulder.

"Ah! They're aliens!"

"That guy's here again!"

A sudden commotion broke out in the crowd.

Upon hearing the commotion, Zongfang and the others quickly turned to look.

Raeder arrived on the Earth's surface through the spaceship's portal.

He wanted to negotiate with the Earthlings to buy some of the lamps they had just used.

This way, they wouldn't have to capture soldiers who could fight at night.

By simply turning on these lights at night, the Ababas cannot approach their territory.

And under such lights, they will regain some of their strength.

Seeing the commotion caused by Raeder's appearance, Munakata immediately shouted:

"Please rest assured, everyone. Raeder is not a bad person. He is the one who rescued you."

Although Zong Fang's words left these people somewhat skeptical, they at least quieted down.

"Lina, contact the police station and have them send all these citizens back," Zongfang said to Lina.

"Understood!" Lina nodded and immediately began contacting the police department.

"On behalf of my home planet, I would like to purchase some of the lamps you Earthlings used to deal with Abbas from you." The blue prismatic crystal on Redel's face shimmered with light, and his voice was transmitted to Munakata and the others through telepathy.

"Buy lamps?" Zongfang was taken aback.

He quickly realized what was going on, nodded, and said, "Okay. However, you'll need to have a meeting with our supervisor."

"Okay." Redell nodded.

Before long, police cars arrived at the scene and took the rescued citizens away one by one.

A Drum patrol car slowly drove into the construction site.

"Grandma." Horii helped the old woman out of the car.

Daigo suddenly appeared out of nowhere and jogged over to meet him.

"How is the situation?" Horii asked.

"It's all been resolved," Daigo said with a smile.

After watching the missing citizen being taken away by the police, Munakata and the other two brought Redel to Horii's side.

The old woman looked Redell up and down, her smile kind.

"It's alright, it's alright!"

Then, she looked at the GUTS team members and said, "You're going to take him away, aren't you?"

Zongfang nodded and explained, "Grandma, we took him away to discuss cooperation. Moreover, we, TPC, are a peace organization and are very willing to become friends with peaceful and friendly aliens."

Although Abobbas had been abducting humans, Raeder had never done anything to harm them.

"I see." The old woman was relieved.

After Horii took the old woman back, Munakata and the others took Redell back to the TPC base.

Having learned of Raeder's intentions, Sawai personally stepped forward to speak with him.

As for what was discussed, that's beyond the knowledge of the victorious team.

All that is known is that Sawai and Redell reached an agreement and established a friendly relationship with Star Standell.

As a testament to their friendship, TPC plans to manufacture a new batch of ultra-high-power xenon lamps according to the blueprints modified by Shen Yun, as a gift from humanity to the Standelians, which Raeder will then take back to Standel.

TPC naturally gave extensive coverage to such positive developments.

Shen Yun looked at the color photo of Sawai and Redel shaking hands on the front page of the newspaper.

This handshake was described by the media as a handshake of the century.

This is because it is the first time that humanity has truly forged a friendship with an alien race.

Putting down the newspaper, Shen Yun looked at Karen and asked, "Karen, how are the crops? Have they flowered and fruited?"

These days, I've been busy researching the Zepelion amplifier, and I haven't been observing the crops that have been transplanted with Eberon cells for a while.

"No. But I recorded the entire growth process of these crops. I'll send it to you now." Karen shook her head and sent the video to Shen Yun's PDI.

Shen Yun watched the video, which had been sped up dozens of times, and saw the crops transplanted with Ebron cells growing continuously under a large power supply.

Watching the stems of these crops grow longer and thicker, yet they still fail to flower and bear fruit.

"So it really is a problem with the Ebron cells," Shen Yun said thoughtfully.

The seeds of these crops underwent unknown changes after being transplanted with Ebron cells.

Just as animal cells can proliferate indefinitely, plants can also continue to grow indefinitely.

As long as there is a power supply, these crops can grow continuously regardless of the environment.

As for why these crops don't flower and bear fruit...

This may be because plants have short life cycles and rely on flowering and fruiting to reproduce.

However, after being transplanted with Ebron cells, the lifespan of these plants was greatly extended.

Therefore, it is quite normal for these plants not to flower or bear fruit.

He quickly skipped over the crops that needed to flower and bear fruit, and focused his attention on tuberous and root plants.

Although these plants did not flower or bear fruit, their underground rhizomes had grown to be enormous and thick.

After more than three months of electricity supply, these potatoes, radishes, and ginseng have grown to enormous sizes.

"Of the ten crops, three actually met my expectations. That's quite a pleasant surprise." A hint of joy appeared on Shen Yun's face.

He thought the experiment had failed and was preparing to summarize the lessons learned before conducting a second experiment.

Unexpectedly, there was such a surprise later on.

"But thinking about it, it makes sense. Potatoes are tuberous plants, and radishes are root plants. The edible parts of potatoes and radishes are part of the plants themselves, so they don't need to flower or bear fruit. As the plant grows, its roots and stems also grow..."

"Karen, have the logistics department cut off the power supply to the potatoes, radishes, and ginseng, and dig them out," Shen Yun said, closing the PDI and looking at Karen.

"Okay." Karen immediately contacted the logistics personnel who were taking care of these huge crops and asked them to cut off the power supply.

"but,

"Speaking of power outages..." Shen Yun fell into deep thought: "The reason why crops don't flower and bear fruit might be because their life cycle has been extended by the Ebloon cells. If the power supply to these crops is cut off, will they choose to flower and bear fruit before they die?"

Flowering, fruiting, and reproducing are the instincts of plants.

If these plants knew they would die soon, would they flower and bear fruit in a short period of time?

"Karen, tell logistics to cut off all the electricity supply to these crops," Shen Yun added.

More than three months have passed since these crops were transplanted with Ebron cells.

If the power supply continues, the plants might turn into monsters.

Now that everything is broken, let's observe what changes will occur in these crops that have been transplanted with Ebron cells.

"Okay." Karen dialed the logistics department again and told them about Shen Yun's request.

After resolving the issue of the Eberon crops, Shen Yun turned his attention to the Zepelion amplifier and began designing a brand new Zepelion amplifier.

"We need to miniaturize and make the Zeperion amplifier more body-hugging, while also enhancing the effect of the Ultraman Tiga's beam..."

"In that case, the most suitable design would be an arm guard."

"After all, Tiga's Zepellion Ray is released through his arm."

"If the Zeperion Amplifier is designed as an arm guard, then the Zeperion Ray emitted by Tiga will be amplified by the Zeperion Amplifier, thus doubling the power of the ray."

"Not only that, as long as Tiga's light energy passes through the Zepelion amplifier, it can be amplified, thereby enhancing the power of Tiga's other moves."

While thinking, Shen Yun drew the design diagram of the arm-protecting type Zaperio amplifier.

Because it was a close-fitting arm guard, Shen Yun sacrificed some of the amplification by designing the Zepelion amplifier as a hollow shape.

As long as Tiga's light energy passes through the arm guard, it can be amplified by the amplifier, thereby increasing the power of his moves.

Shen Yun quickly finished drawing the design.

He took the design drawings to the hangar, intending to oversee the manufacturing of the arm-protecting Zepelion amplifier.

This hollow device, which is only about 20 meters high, can be manufactured very quickly using TPC's technology.

Although Shen Yun didn't know whether his idea and design would actually work on Ultraman Tiga.

But, well, it's science and technology.

We always learn from our failures and continuously improve until we achieve perfection.

A few days later, Shen Yun, who was in charge of manufacturing the arm-protecting Zepelion amplifier, received a message from the logistics department staff.

The side effects of the Abolone crop began to appear.

Upon receiving the news, Shen Yun immediately put down his work and rushed to the small Pacific island where these crops were grown.

When Shen Yun arrived on the island, the Aibron crops were dying rapidly due to the lack of electricity for a long time, and the crops were also withering.

In the final moments of their lives, these crops bloomed, attempting to prolong their existence.

However, these Aiblon crops died too quickly after losing power.

These flowers bloomed for only a short while before withering away along with the life of these Aiblon crops.

"It seems that these annual herbs are not suitable for transplanting Ebloon cell origins." Shen Yun had personally witnessed the entire process of these Ebloon crops from flowering to death.

Finally, it was discovered that the Eberon cell progenitor, which could enlarge both plants and animals, was not suitable for these annual herbs.

When life ends, plants bloom, wanting to reproduce; this is a plant's instinct.

However, the cells of Ebloon that are deprived of electricity for an extended period of time die far too quickly.

Once the flower blooms, the entire plant dies before the pollen can even be dispersed.

Potatoes, radishes, and ginseng, on the other hand, were not affected by the power outage.

The roots buried underground are still quite large.

Shen Yun frowned in thought. The Ebloon cell prototype would prolong the life cycle of crops, causing these crops to be unable to flower and bear fruit at all.

Even if he used his modified power-limited Ebloon cells, the situation would likely remain the same.

However, his modified power-limited Ebloon cells would only make the parasite feel weak even if there was no power supply for a long time.

If this power-limiting Ebloon cell were applied to these crops, it should achieve the desired effect.

Thinking of this, Shen Yun couldn't stay still any longer and cut off a portion of Aibolon potatoes, Aibolon radishes, and Aibolon ginseng.

Surprisingly, when the roots of these Ebron crops are cut open, a sap that looks like blood flows out.

"This..." Shen Yun stared at the juice flowing from the gap and fell silent.

Sure enough, this Ebloon cell can even turn plants into monsters.

Shen Yun was not too surprised by this result.

Previous artificial beef could proliferate into monsters under the influence of Ebron cells, so it's not incomprehensible that plants could turn into monsters.

Back at the research institute, Shen Yun assigned the task of transplanting the power-limited Ebloon cells into the seeds to Karen.

He then began analyzing the root and stem components of the Eberlon crops he had brought back.

After analysis, Shen Yun discovered that the components of these roots and stems, apart from a few dead Ebloon cells, were mainly starch.

Large quantities of high-quality starch!

Although these Ebloon crops grow faster after being transplanted with Ebloon cells.

However, even with the transplantation of Ebron cells, a plant is still ultimately a plant.

These crops will still photosynthesize.

It absorbs carbon dioxide and is converted into starch by biological enzymes.

"It seems there's no problem with consuming it. We can cultivate huge tuberous and root plants using Eblon cell culture." Shen Yun wrote in the experimental record.

"Crops that require flowering and pollination to bear fruit cannot be cultured using Ebloon cell line."

"The second experiment on cultivating Abloon crops will now be conducted using Abloon cells with limited power supply."

Shen Yun transplanted his improved power-limited Ebloon cells into the seeds of these crops that needed to flower and bear fruit.

He then entrusted the Eberon crops to Karen's care, while he returned to the hangar to manufacture the arm-protecting Zepelion amplifier.

Time passed slowly, and seven days went by in the blink of an eye.

Shen Yun took some time to return to the research institute and observe the rice that had been transplanted with power-limited Eblon cells.

After seven days of growth, this rice plant has grown to the height of a normal mature rice plant.

However, the amount of electricity that the power-limited Ebloon cells can absorb is far from its limit.

"The early growth rate was almost the same as that of rice transplanted with Eblon cell line."

"However, once the electricity absorbed by the power-limiting ebloon cells inside this rice plant reaches its limit, this rice plant should stop growing."

"After it stops growing, although it won't grow to be tens of meters tall, it will still be about the height of a tree."

"Enjoying the cool shade under the rice plants is no longer a dream!" Shen Yun looked at the thriving rice with a face full of anticipation.

I highly recommend "Tokusatsu: Starting with Ultraman Tiga"! Get straight to the exciting parts.
