Magic? My Iron Torrent will sweep it all away!

Chapter 730 The World Tree has given birth!

Lin Mo was taken aback.

"Academician Liu, has something happened again in Kona?"

"Not from Kona." Liu Chengen grinned.

"It's our World Tree, it's had babies!"

Lin Mo: "..."

This statement doesn't sound right at all.

However, he quickly realized what was happening, and his expression suddenly turned serious as he said:

"Are the seeds of the World Tree ripe?"

"That's right! Nine!"

Liu Chengen's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement.

"Having completed its life transformation, it is ready to be harvested and planted."

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Mo immediately returned to Blue Star through the portal.

A dozen minutes later, he arrived at the central ecological park of Tian Shu Underground City.

As soon as he entered the park area, Lin Mo subconsciously looked up.

Even though he had seen the World Tree several times before, he was still stunned by the scene before him.

The World Tree is now much larger than it was a few months ago, with its trunk diameter expanding to hundreds of meters, thick enough to resemble a green wall reaching to the sky.

Its canopy almost completely covers the underground city's dome, and part of its trunk passes through the dome, continuing upwards through hundreds of meters of rock strata until it reaches the surface.

Countless leaves overlap, emitting a faint, luminous green glow.

From a distance, the whole tree looks like a green galaxy suspended upside down in an underground city.

In the center of the tree trunk, the giant human face, awakened by the magic of life-giving, was slightly opening its eyes.

It has a nose, eyes, and a mouth.

Although it still looks a bit eerie, the people of Tian Shu City have long been used to it, and many citizens are even taking photos and checking in from the outside.

Liu Chengen stood under the tree, looking up, holding a tablet and a walkie-talkie, communicating with the World Tree.

He was surrounded by a group of researchers.

Upon seeing Lin Mo approaching, Liu Chengen immediately waved.

"Commander Lin, over here!"

Lin Mo walked over quickly.

"Academician Liu, have the seeds been picked yet?"

Liu Chengen raised his finger and pointed to the top of his head.

"No, it's still in the very center of the tree canopy. You can't see it from below; it's on the surface."

He then pointed to the screen, which displayed footage from the drone—a vast expanse of leaves—and said:

"The leaf layer is too thick; even surface drones can only capture the outer layer."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the World Tree.

"You hid it quite well."

The human face on the World Tree's trunk blinked, and a mental fluctuation entered everyone's minds.

"I can't help it, it's just that I'm too tall!"

Lin Mo's lips twitched.

What exactly did it learn online?

He looked up at the World Tree, smiled, and greeted it.

"Long time no see! How have you been?"

The World Tree's mental fluctuations became noticeably more cheerful.

"Very good, I like it here, Lord Lin Mo."

"This is paradise!"

Lin Mo recalled that outrageous incident from before and looked at the World Tree, saying:

"By the way, how's your online boyfriend doing? Does she know you're World Tree yet?"

The face on the trunk of the World Tree actually showed a very human-like expression of distress.

"understood."

Lin Mo's curiosity was piqued.

"and then?"

The World Tree was silent for two seconds, then said:

"Then the girl got even more excited."

Lin Mo: "..."

Liu Chengen: "???"

Several researchers nearby lowered their heads, trying not to laugh, their shoulders shaking.

Lin Mo didn't know what to say for a moment.

What is this?

In cross-species relationships, what if you encounter someone who is aware of the situation and even more obsessed?

Liu Chengen coughed, forcibly bringing the topic back on track.

"Let's take care of business first; it's almost time."

He glanced at the tablet.

"The time has come. The nine seeds have stabilized, and the outer shells have fully lignified. They can be harvested now."

After saying that, Liu Chengen picked up the walkie-talkie.

"The ground-based harvesting team is ready; the helicopter is taking off."

Soon, the large screen switched to a view of the ground.

Outside the surface base of Tian Shu City, the World Tree emerges from the ground and rises straight into the sky.

It's too high.

At a height of two thousand meters, ordinary climbing equipment becomes completely useless, and even engineering machinery cannot reach the top of the tree canopy.

Therefore, this harvest can only be carried out by helicopters and robots working together.

With the roar of the propellers, a helicopter slowly took off.

A specially designed harvesting robot is suspended below the helicopter. The robot is equipped with a flexible protective net and its robotic arm is covered with cushioning material to prevent damage to the seed shells.

Inside the underground ecological park, Liu Chengen looked towards the World Tree Path:

"Show the seeds so the robot doesn't have to search through the leaves."

The World Tree cooperated.

"Okay, as you wish."

The next moment, the image on the big screen changed.

At the center of the World Tree's enormous canopy, thick branches began to move slowly, and layers of leaves stretched outwards, as if a green palace had opened its doors.

Soon, nine green seeds, each about the size of a soccer ball, appeared in the frame.

They hang in the very core of the tree canopy, their surfaces covered with natural patterns, resembling jade or a wooden shell, with a flowing, luminous green light.

Even through the screen, everyone could feel that incredibly vibrant life force.

The researchers next to Liu Chengen were breathing rapidly.

Liu Chengen clenched his fists, his eyes bright.

This is no ordinary seed.

Each one represents a future World Tree.

Every World Tree has the potential to change a piece of land, an underground city, or even an entire ecosystem, and may even affect the entire planet.

Lin Mo looked at the nine seeds on the screen and couldn't help but feel excited.

When the Great Xia planted the World Tree, it was mainly to verify whether it was feasible to use nuclear energy to power the World Tree.

Who would have thought that in such a short time, it not only grew up, but also began to nourish the Great Xia.

The helicopter began to adjust its angle, and the harvesting robot suspended below slowly approached the first seed.

The robotic arm extends, first supporting the seed with a flexible fixing ring, and then cutting the connecting branch with a high-frequency micro-cutting tool.

The first World Tree seed gently fell into the net.

In the underground command center, everyone was focused on the data.

"Seeds are normal!"

"No cracks! The World Tree is stable!"

Liu Chengen immediately said, "Continue."

The second one.

The third one.

The fourth one.

The harvesting process is not fast, but every step is very steady.

If it falls and you lose your grip, it will be a serious accident.

Each time a seed is picked, the researchers on site will report the data.

The World Tree cooperated throughout the process, proactively adjusting the angle of its branches and even removing a few obstructing leaves to facilitate robot operation.

A dozen minutes later, the ninth seed successfully fell into the net.

The sound came from the helicopter on the ground.

"Report: All nine World Tree seeds have been harvested. We are ready to return."

Cheers erupted inside the underground ecological park.

Liu Chengen swung his fist forcefully.

"Nine!"

"From now on, Great Xia won't need to buy seeds from elves anymore; we can be self-sufficient!"

"More importantly, we finally have our own World Tree breeding chain."

"If these nine seeds can successfully survive, they will not be just a single tree, but an entire ecological forest in the future."

Lin Mo nodded excitedly, and after a while asked:

"By the way, where are you planning to plant it?"
