I handed over to another world

The space elevator project on the Origin Star started construction in full swing. A large number of construction workers found new projects to work on and started working hard again for salaries and benefits. The Northern Base instantly became a large-scale construction site, so bustling that it didn't seem like an extremely cold place.

After dealing with the material supply problem here, Chen Lin turned his attention to the fog portal on the Taka continent.

At this time, the foggy world has been officially named, and it is called the [Fog Hidden Star], but Chen Lin is still more accustomed to calling it the Fog Planet, and he has not changed it.

Anyun Base invested hundreds of millions of dollars in exploring the entire planet. It was later discovered that the fog covered the entire area, and even areas close to outer space had floating poisonous fog.

The exploration of the foggy world continued uninterruptedly, with new discoveries made almost every day. The new discoveries even piled up in front of Chen Lin. Finally, Chen Lin asked for all the relevant information to be converted into electronic form, thus avoiding filling up the entire desk.

Chen Lin looked at the newly sent information on the computer with a weary look on his face. Of course, the content about Wuyin Star was ranked first.

Wuyin Star is a rather special planet. The oceans on the planet occupy 60% of its surface, and the land is divided into countless islands scattered in the vast ocean. The area where they are currently located is actually the largest island, and its size is about the same as half of the Taka continent.

The natural environment of this planet is similar to that of the Earth, but fog is the most prominent feature of this planet. Thick fog covers the Fog-Hidden Star all year round, making the visibility of the planet extremely low. Even during the day, it is difficult for sunlight to penetrate the thick fog layer. The normal photosynthesis of vegetation is also restricted. Most of them do not survive by photosynthesis, but by absorbing substances in the thick fog.

This causes the air on the Mist Star to contain a large amount of toxins, and normal humans cannot even breathe if they enter it without special equipment.

Due to the existence of fog, the creatures on Wuyin Star have evolved a unique way of survival. Previously, Anyun Base has discovered more than 200 species of creatures here. With subsequent exploration, the species of creatures have been expanded again, and more than species have been detected and discovered.

The creatures on the Mist Star have various forms, but most of them have powerful sensory systems, which ensure that they can accurately perceive the surrounding environment in the fog. After all, in such a dense fog environment, having good eyesight is of no use.

The creatures here commonly have special skin or shells, which ensure that many of them can reflect or absorb light in the fog in order to better camouflage themselves or attract prey.

The feathered serpent-like creatures that the drone had previously discovered in the clouds in the sky were actually of a similar type to the cloud snakes in the inner world of Blue Sea Star, but these misty feathered serpents were even more terrifying. According to the calculations and estimates of the intelligent machines, these guys should be hundreds of meters long, which was far beyond the cognition of all of them.

Later, based on multiple observations of the intelligent drone, we can basically see some of the characteristics of this thing.

This creature is a giant aerial snake, or of course a hybrid of a bird and a snake. Its body is covered with soft yet tough feathers that absorb and reflect light in the mist, making it almost invisible in the clouds.

The bodies of feathered serpents are over a hundred meters long. They swim in the mist like giant dragons gliding in the sky.

Quetzalcoats are top predators that feed on other creatures in the fog. Their hunting method is unique and efficient. They use the fog as cover to approach their prey silently and swallow them directly. These creatures are so huge that almost no creature can easily escape.

Quetzalcoats have keen senses. Their eyes can capture faint light in the fog, and their sense of smell and hearing are extremely sensitive, allowing them to sense prey from a distance. Intelligent drones are actually very noisy mechanical devices for these creatures. These things have destroyed many drones, and finally the staff couldn't hold it anymore, so they used special means to catch a quilled serpent.

It is precisely through the research on this feathered serpent that Anyun Base has gained a better understanding of it.

The feathers of Quetzalcoatlus are not only their camouflage, but also their weapons. These creatures can shoot their feathers like arrows. Each feather has a barb that can easily penetrate the skin of the prey.

When hunting, feathered serpents will suddenly descend from the clouds, cover their prey with feathers, and then quickly capture it - although these feathered serpents are called snakes, they actually have the sharp claws of birds. They will directly grab creatures from the mist and bring them to their nests before slowly eating them.

Although feathered serpents are top predators, they are not invincible. There are still some creatures in the foggy world that can fight against feathered serpents' hunting.

For example, some flying creatures discovered by the intelligent drones have organs that can emit strong sound waves. These sound waves can interfere with the senses of couatl and make them lose their sense of direction. Once the couatl senses these sound waves, they will directly choose to avoid them. The intelligent drones later simulated this kind of sound waves, which greatly reduced the crash rate of the drones.

There have actually been breakthroughs in the research on feathered serpents. Subsequently, personnel from the Institute of Biology reported detailed research data on feathered serpents, which included relevant research data on the creature's flesh and blood, as well as external scales and feathers. Chen Lin was quite satisfied after reading it.

These feathered serpents have huge bodies but are extremely light. Their flesh and blood contain a special enzyme that has powerful healing abilities. It can accelerate wound healing, promote tissue regeneration, and has significant effects on treating serious injuries and diseases. This has been certified by the Red Dragon Association's expert group. It can be seen that this thing's survival on the Mist Hidden Star will not be very stable in the future.

With a body of over 100 meters, the feathered serpent has a lot of flesh and blood. Research has found that eating the flesh and blood of the feathered serpent can enhance an individual's physique and even improve resistance to harsh conditions in a foggy environment.

This is somewhat a good thing for those who need to carry out follow-up work in the foggy world.

The flesh and blood of this thing has been analyzed, and it can be eaten normally after cooking. Someone at the Mist Research Institute at Anyun Base has already tasted it in advance. Of course, Chen Lin is not quite sure how it tastes, he can only get a feel for it from the text reviews on the computer.

However, the reviews seem to be quite good, saying that the meat is tender and tastes almost the same as crocodile meat and chicken.

The scientists at the institute are conducting in-depth research on the flesh and blood of the Quetzalcoatl. They all hope to analyze its healing and strengthening mechanisms, so as to develop new medical technologies and bio-enhancers, and preferably also enhance the golden mist factor liquid.

Chen Lin also specially approved an additional 4 million research funds for this group of people. Of course, he also supports these works. The feathers of the feathered serpent have unique optical properties, which can absorb and reflect light in the fog, thus achieving a nearly perfect invisibility effect. These feathers can be used to make advanced camouflage clothing and invisibility devices, which are extremely valuable for explorers and the military. This is somewhat beyond Chen Lin's expectations.

There is no such thing as magic on the entire Mist Star. All creatures have their own unique physiological characteristics and abilities to ensure their own survival.

Most creatures are able to emit sounds of specific frequencies, using sound waves to navigate and communicate in the fog. Creatures that have not evolved this ability instead have a highly developed sense of smell that allows them to track scents in the fog.

Creatures that have neither have special skin that can absorb moisture and nutrients from the fog, allowing them to survive in extreme environments.

In fact, among these research materials, what Chen Lin was most interested in was the exploration of the ocean of the Mist Hidden Star by intelligent mechanical equipment.

Various strange marine creatures also live in the ocean of Wuyin Star. Because of the special foggy environment of Wuyin Star, the entire ocean is in a state of eternal darkness. Therefore, if you want to survive in the dark ocean under this special environment, you must have a unique way of evolution.

For example, most marine creatures have luminous organs that can emit light in the dark deep sea to attract prey or mates. This makes the ocean of the Mist Star even more magnificent than that of the Earth, the Origin Star, and the Blue Sea Star!

However, this magnificence was a bit weird. The entire ocean turned blue, and when the intelligent drone first took the photo, the staff even mistakenly thought that something went wrong there.

The food chain in the ocean of Wuyin Star is complex and diverse, ranging from tiny plankton to huge marine predators. There is a unique blue-green algae in the ocean that is completely different from the algae on Earth. Subsequent research has shown that it can absorb fog components and release some oxygen and other gases, which is itself a part of the unique ecology of Wuyin Star.

"This blue algae...can't be cultivated on a large scale?"

Chen Lin was sitting alone in front of the computer, muttering to himself. According to the scientific research data displayed on the computer, these gadgets can absorb fog components on a large scale. This even leads to a "buffer zone" between the entire ocean and the air. This buffer zone is absorbed by these gadgets.

He quickly clicked on the detailed introduction interface of this blue algae. It can be seen that the entire Anyun base had actually started researching this blue algae very early. The discovery of this thing on the Wuyin Star is actually no less important than the discovery of gold veins on the Origin Star.

This algae can absorb moisture and tiny particles in the fog and convert them into energy and nutrients. The discovery of this algae provides new possibilities for changing the environment of the Misty Star.

It is enough that algae can convert absorbed water and particulate matter into biological energy and release oxygen at the same time, which helps to improve the air quality of the Mist Star. After all, according to the conventional knowledge of marine algae, algae generally reproduce very quickly and can grow in large numbers in a short period of time, covering a wide area. Only with this thing can the ecological environment of a planet be truly transformed.

The current plan of the Biological Research Institute is to edit the genes of this algae to enhance its ability to absorb fog, improve its conversion efficiency and reproduction rate, and through genetic modification, enable the algae to survive in a variety of environments on the Mist Star, including the ocean, land and even the air.

Of course, it is not that easy to achieve. Studying how to control the growth and distribution of algae is a difficult problem for these researchers. Algae cultivation on Earth is quite mature, but the same technology cannot be applied to the Mist Star. After all, the things here are new.

This thing is named fog-condensing algae. It can not only absorb moisture and particles, but also release a special substance that helps dispel the fog and let the sun shine on the land again.

Chen Lin stood up. He felt that he really needed to go to the laboratory to see the situation on site and what stage it was at.

This research has attracted the attention of many people in the Red Dragon Association. Anyun base may not be able to handle it alone, so people from the outpost base and Darad have been sent to help. The laboratory is currently working on the reproduction and gene editing of these algae, and it is estimated that it is very busy.

Under the close attention of the Red Dragon Association, the laboratory at Anyun Base has become unprecedentedly busy.

Elite teams from the outpost and the Dalad region arrived one after another, and their arrival injected new vitality into the research.

A group of scientific researchers in the laboratory are conducting an intensive gene editing project around these algae.

"The reproduction rate of these algae is far beyond our expectations. I am afraid that by then we will not have to stimulate the growth of these algae, but to control their growth."

A researcher looked up from the microscope and said worriedly, "Gene editing is a bit too difficult. The funds we have now may not be enough."

"The gene editing potential of these algae is huge. If we can successfully unlock their genetic code, it may bring about a revolution in the energy field... However, the priority is to use these algae to change the environment on the Mist Hidden Star. If we can transform it into an ecological environment similar to that of the Origin Star, it will be a huge achievement for the entire Red Dragon Association."

Everyone was excited to hear this. They had already begun to imagine what the entire Mist Hidden Star would look like after these algae had completed the transformation. The Mist Hidden Star currently seemed to be about the same size as the Origin Star, or even slightly larger than the Earth. If the transformation was complete, the Red Dragon Association would once again own a planet - this kind of temptation was irresistible to anyone.

The Red Dragon Association obviously realized this, and subsequently continued to dispatch various algae cultivation experts to Anyun Base, and gene editing teams also followed. The large amount of exotic resources on Wuyin Star was still very new to the Red Dragon Association at this time.

When Chen Lin arrived at the laboratory, everyone felt it was quite abrupt, but they didn't care about anything else at this time. They just spoke directly to Chen Lin and asked for various resources and equipment, which made Chen Lin a little amused.

Is his trip a timely help or just the icing on the cake? (End of this chapter)
