Chapter 178: Can I Swap Droplets?

Due to the large area, the amount of air contained in it was also enormous.

Even if Tuesday found the most efficient workaround, it still required a lot of time.

Raymond was almost bored from waiting. Tuesday finally gave him the good news.

“Sir, the air has been completely purified. The source of the gas has been neutralized. You can go in now.”

Raymond did not hesitate and walked out of the observation room.

Alpha watched Raymond leave for a while before following him out.

The researchers exchanged glances and followed him.

The shape of the droplets looked the same. There was only a slight difference in the size of the two water droplets.

Raymond thought that the structures inside would be similar.

But in reality, it was far from the same.

The previous droplet had a very complicated interior.

It had a bit of everything, but this one clearly had a singular purpose.

However, he did not know what the components did, so Raymond could not judge it now.

“Tuesday, where is the energy room?”

“This way, sir.”

To power a plasma engine, one would definitely need electricity.

Therefore, the energy room was Raymond’s first goal.

Although he could read the alien language, Tuesday was far quicker.

When they went to look for the energy room on Tuesday, Raymond and Alpha went to the bridge.

The bridge in the main control room of the spaceship, was exactly the same.

Therefore, the two of them arrived at the bridge very quickly.

Raymond came to the bridge to see how the nerves and brains in the ‘fish tank’ were connected.

Meanwhile, Alpha wanted to see if there were any alien bodies inside.

Although Alpha and the others had already obtained three alien bodies, it was never enough for these research institutes.

The gray cabin was not supposed to reflect light.

The lights that were supposed to be used for emergency purposes were a little dim.

With the arrival of Raymond and the others, something seemed to have alerted the ship and the dim bridge suddenly lit up.

The largest gray wall in front of them suddenly lit up.

This made the researchers extremely surprised.

The previous droplet never did this.

“Director, this droplet seems abnormal. Let’s go back first!”

A timid researcher suggested.

Bold hypothesis, careful evidence.

This was a necessary ability of a researcher.

Regarding this, Alpha would not scold him for being timid.

“Go on ahead. If the cabin door suddenly closes, remember to call for help immediately. If the rest want to follow, you may leave. However, remember to open the maintenance door when you go out and leave us a way out.”

After Alpha said that, the two researchers took the initiative to leave.

Three brave ones who did not intend to leave remained with them.

As they continued chattering in excitement, Raymond carefully looked at the words on the screen.

It was a simple line of text.

[Rescue Mission 903 has been completed. If you wish to proceed, please place the spaceship controller.]

Spaceship controller..

With such a term, Raymond immediately thought of 100.

That thing was the AI of their spaceships.

This one was missing an AI.

“Where could it have gone?”

Raymond did not know the reason behind it.

With how advanced the aliens were, wouldn’t they be able to create a neutral brain within minutes?

However, Raymond didn’t dwell on this matter for too long.

He immediately thought of a plan.

“Tuesday, prepare another copy of your core.”

“Yes, sir.”

Although he couldn’t hear Tuesday’s reply, Alpha could still hear Raymond’s orders.

Alpha’s curiosity was immediately piqued.

“Raymond, do you have any leads?”

“Director Alpha, just wait and see!”

Raymond gave him a broad grin.

When he saw Raymond’s expression, Alpha instantly grew suspicious.

However, he could not figure Raymond out.

The neural brain in Patrick’s hand was once activated by Raymond.

It had been apparent that one had to have a consciousness at hand to do so.

Now, Raymond had had just called out for yet another copy of Tuesday’s core code.

Alpha looked at the fish tank.

The fish tank was now suffused with a faint milky white light.

But it was empty inside.

Then.

“It’s over!”

Alpha was sure that this droplet was as good as gone.

With a neural brain, Raymond could immediately fly this droplet away.

He would not even need a plasma engine.

Raymond left the First Institute.

He went to Patrick’s place for a while and soon returned.

Alpha could only smile wryly.

He had a vague expectation that this was going to work.

If Raymond succeeded, then the other droplets could be controlled.

Furthermore, Patrick had an active neural brain.

Then..

Thinking of this, Alpha immediately made a decision.

“Immediately inform Camilla and the others to come over. I want them to watch this!”

Raymond did not care about Alpha’s thoughts. He only wanted to quickly verify his thoughts.

The neural brain in the nutrient solution was carefully picked up by Raymond.

The fish tank seemed to have sensed the arrival of the brain and took the initiative to expand the entrance of the fish tank.

Seeing this, Raymond decisively put the nerve brain in his hand into the fish tank.

The fish tank slowly receded upon itself until it became a ball.

Then, some threads slowly appeared in the fish tank.

Raymond narrowed his eyes and roughly guessed the role of the threads.

The silk threads and the neural brain fused very slowly, as if they were looking for a suitable location.

Camilla and the others came quickly.

However, no matter how fast they were, the silk threads made contact with the brain first.

Fortunately, a researcher had videotaped the whole process, so they had a chance to watch the replay.

After the silk threads fused with the neural brain, the neural brain did not start working immediately.

It seemed to be familiarizing itself with its surroundings.

Camilla and the others arrived around three minutes later.

The background turned white.

Then, word by word, it was displayed on the screen.

“Master, Please Wait…”

This time, it was no longer alien text.

Everyone understood.

They knew who this message was meant for.

Alpha knew what had happened.

He looked at Raymond with a twisted expression.

Although he knew that Raymond would gain control of this droplet, he still found it hard to accept.

“Raymond, why don’t you take another droplet instead?”

Alpha started to act shamelessly.
