After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yan felt that he might be in the wrong direction.

"Although the No. 051 exotic land is not big, it is not small, with a radius of dozens of kilometers, if each fluffy ball contains a large number of energy crystals, then how many energy crystals should there be here, far more abundant than the unknown bones of the giant insect world. Apparently a little more, so not every fluff ball contains it. ”

There are no white pompom balls, and black pompom balls do.

Zhou Yan felt that he still had to start with the black plush ball, and he found a rhizome that transformed into a black plush ball. The rhizome is bare, and the black fluffy balls are the whole thing that falls off the rhizome, and they are all relatively thick rhizomes.

A shovel digs the soil and gouges the rhizomes out of the ground.

Recycle bin scanning.

- "Detection of evolution liquid and energy crystals within the collection range of the micron robot in the left-hand recycling station, is it collected?" ”

"Sure enough, the rhizome of the black fluff ball contains energy crystals, but very few." Because the recycling bin was swept over slightly, both resources were absorbed, and the remaining rhizomes were not fluffy.

The root of the fluff ball is not similar to an ordinary plant, but the kind of round and bare stick, which is covered with mycelium like fine silk threads, and the mycelium is buried very deep and cannot be dug to the end.

Zhou Yan threw away the rhizome and scanned the mycelium on the soil.

- "Detection of evolution liquid and energy crystals within the collection range of the micron robot in the left-hand recycling station, is it collected?" ”

"There are also here, which can prove that the energy crystals come from the ground, continue to dig."

The stubborn side of his personality is highlighted, Zhou Yan squatted in the plush ball forest, regardless of the excavation, he was unwilling to understand the source of the energy crystallization today.

Dig up a bit of dirt and scan the mycelium.

It was soon discovered that these hyphae extend in all directions underground, and are even connected to the surrounding villous bulb root hyphae. Four hours later, a large pit the size of a room and about one meter deep was smashed out by Zhou Yan, and a whole twenty-one fluff balls were analyzed and sampled by him.

Let him draw a conclusion.

"Energy crystals are the resources absorbed by the forest as a whole, usually gathered in the root hyphae of the fluff balls, when the villus balls suffer large-scale and rapid damage, these villus balls begin to absorb energy crystals, absorbed by the most powerful villus balls, and then turn into black fluff balls to attack the invaders."

Very peculiar biological characteristics.

After Zhou Yan figured it out, it was already afternoon, and the originally clear sky gradually gathered clouds to block the sun. Loaded with two snakeskin bag fluff balls, Zhou Yan did not delay any longer and left the No. 051 Exotic.

Instead of rushing back to the Ninth Vault, he manipulated the little bee and flew towards the Twelfth Vault, another nearby Vault. He plans to visit the Twelfth Vault, which for others is a place to live in the future, a place where a new chapter begins.

But for Zhou Yan, finding the truth about the changes in the world and finding the truth about his own transformation is the main goal in the future.

The Ninth Vault was just a stop for him.

The Twelfth Shelter is located in Jianghan District, Yangzhou City, no more than ten kilometers away from the Ninth Vault, strengthening the No. 051 Exotic Territory, which is exactly in a triangle. With a population of more than 102,000 people, it is also a relatively large shelter, and there is frequent communication with the ninth vault.

Five kilometers away from the Twelfth Vault, Zhou Yan parked his car on the road and concentrated on maneuvering the Bee Reconnaissance Plane 1.0 to observe the Twelfth Vault.

The vision of the little bee is clearer than 4K HD quality, and it can reach 8K quality.

There is hardly much difference between feeling and seeing it with your own eyes.

He turned into a little bee, flew in mid-air at random, flew over the Twelfth Vault, wrote down the entire layout, and then descended to the ground to search the area where the warehouse was located. Warehouses were quickly found, and two warehouses were found where the Variety Ore was stored.

There are not many variety ores here, about seventeen or eighteen tons.

The little bee wandered around the shelter for half an hour, and no one cared about a little bee flying quietly, and even if they saw it, they didn't take it seriously.

Half an hour later, Zhou Yan took the little bee back.

……

Return to the Ninth Vault.

After taking a shower, changing clothes, taking his meal card, and going to the cafeteria to eat. The shelter implements a large pot rice system, and the food is not bad, with abundant meat and vegetables, and it is not allowed to waste as much as you eat.

Seeing Zhou Yan, the master of the canteen immediately recognized him: "Director Zhou, it's time to eat." ”

"Hmm."

"Is it still a barbecue today?"

"What's the meat dish?"

"It's all here, the meat tube of the water rhinoceros is enough, but the taste is a little rough, you can match the bucktooth rabbit meat and jellyfish fish, or there will be a little red blood hodgepodge, these are all refined blood, there are a lot of energy crystals left, many people must order this." The chef introduced.

Zhou Yan nodded: "Then let's take the water rhinoceros beef as the mainstay, and give me some of the rest, and then some carrots." ”

"Okay." After beating a full pot of food, the master also said, "It's not enough to fight again, the food is enough, the temperature is getting lower and lower, the meat is getting better and better to preserve, and the portion will be more and more sufficient in the future." ”

"Well, thank you."

Zhou Yan picked up the rice bowl and sat down on the table to eat. He is definitely an impressive one in the cafeteria, he eats too much, one pot after another, no matter how many pots there are, he can eat it when he brings it.

Now that there are more bees consuming calories, he has to eat more.

After eating, I rushed to the task handover area of the service hall, replaced two bags of plush balls, replaced two drum washing machines, and pulled them back to the dormitory. At the same time, he handed over the two black fluffy ball corpses in his hand, as well as a large bundle of black plush to the representative of the laboratory's Ninth Vault.

Describe in detail the relationship between white and black fluff balls.

"It turns out that there is such a change in the nature of the fluff ball, thank you very much for the scientific research clues, I will submit the information as soon as possible, the laboratory will give evaluation, if the award standard is met, we will notify you, please leave your contact unit."

Submitting the black fluff ball was a decision that Zhou Yan had thought about.

Originally, he intended to hide this content, and used No. 051 Exotic Land as his source of energy crystals.

But considering that I estimate that I have absorbed the fluff balls for several months of energy crystals, scavenged them all at once, and then grown black fluff balls, I don't know how long it will take, so it is better to provide scientific research information and let scientists study it. Besides, I don't know if I'll find an opportunity to leave Vault 9 one day, and I can't count on Exotic 051.

……

"Brother Zhou, don't you need me to help you wash your clothes?" Zheng Jingjing's joy at getting the washing machine quickly solidified on her face.

Zhou Yan nodded, his face was very calm: "Yes, I have hands and feet, and I can wash my own clothes." And I am not busy at work, I have a lot of free time. ”

"However, I am willing to help you do the laundry, and it will not be troublesome at all."

"Then give yourself more time, although the world has changed, now the situation is getting better. Enjoy youth, you are still young and have a long way to go in life. Zhou Yan smiled, "What, the washing machine has been installed for you, I still have something to do, go back first." ”

Turn around, and walk away briskly without looking back.

At this moment, an earth-shattering air raid siren sounded over the shelter, and then a loud announcement sounded throughout the shelter: "Please pay attention to all residents, the level of radioactive gas in the air has exceeded the standard, and a toxic storm is expected, please stop your work immediately and enter the sealed building in an orderly manner to evacuate." ”
