The operation on the plant was successful As a precaution, the scientists didn’t let the plant absorb the crystal naturally but inserted the mechanically-enhanced crystal into the plant’s central sac through old-fashioned surgery

Three separate insertions were done on plant sa shoot, to flowering tendrils Many plant samples, however, were casualties of these three successful ones

Then, the scientists realized that these wilted plant materials were excellent sources of plant fiber They could be used to create paper, which was especially useful now that the Hope had a news agency

The Acadelad that they had stumbled upon such a treasure They believed that this plant would prove invaluable to their misadventures in space!

The belief had infected even Yao Yuan, who ordered some plant spores to be kept in quarantine so that when ht up, they could be used inoperation had reached its end, which meant that it was time for the alien plant to be used Of course, they needed to fit the underground hole with surveillance devices before they could release the plant to rowth rate The devices would be corroded in the process, but those were necessary sacrifices

Setting up of the surveillance devices took up yet another long day After all, this was the first ti a plant for the purpose of harvesting and excavating, so they had to be incredibly cautious In fact, so this ivemankind couldn’t understand and handle

These voices of dissention cah Yao Yuan knew that their points were valid, he believed that man needed to look ahead For a better chance at survival, they needed a leap in their technological advance these plants was a step in the right direction

However, Yao Yuan still had a needling apprehension about the whole operation In fact, it was not a feeling that was unique to hi, who expressed the sa said that the feeling was er, they both decided to keep the matter under wraps

What rade on the Hope be done expediently This was because if there was any danger, with the upgrade, they could choose to ithout reservation

After the manual excavation was completed, an acid-covered plant sample was lowered into the hole Within, four cay bait"

"Surveillance syste heat detection sensors"

"Opening radiography system…"

All of these commands poured towards Yao Yuan, who sat over the whole operation in central cole surveillance device at the Hope’s disposal was activated As an extra safety measure, the Hope even flew 500 meters off the asteroid’s surface

"Now, shed the acidic carapace"

"Captain’s order, shedding the acidic carapace…"

In the surveillance video, one could see the covering surrounding the plant blow up into smithereens However, it was an incredibly contained blast; there was barely any lingering sround It then pooled itself in a clu

Everyone watched the video with bated breath, waiting for the alien plant to respond Gradually the plant lobular sac that remained in the center, the rest of the plant fused into searching tendrils They latched onto nearby rocks, and before long, the rocks turned to sand It was obvious that the plant had awakened from hibernation With an incredible speed, the tendrils crowded towards a corner of the cave It was reaching for the previously buried energy bait
