Chapter 116 -116, 117 Experiment No. 9 (Extra for Qi Hang San and Monthly Votes)
Tower Research Institute, Underground biochemical research area.
Pan Yan and the researchers were analyzing the information spectrum of the Mutant Creatures. In order to decipher the Zerg language as soon as possible, they hadn’t had a good rest for a month.
“Roar…” The instruments were recording a beast’s roar, a sound made by the experimental Mutant Creatures.
In the experimental area, three mutants were restrained in the water pool. Two of them kept struggling and issuing angry roars.
One was a crustacean, and the other had mutated from a seabed crawler.
Both had evolved vocal organs and could produce sounds in the air.
Their sound waves, movements, and emotions were all being recorded, and zoologists, psychologists, and linguists collaborated with an AI system to analyze them.
Pan Yan’s gaze, however, was on the third Mutant Creature.
Its predecessor was a mutated dolphin. Unlike other mutants, most lost their original characteristics after mutation.
But this dolphin’s mutated body shape hadn’t changed much. Apart from increased appetite and more robust vitality, researchers hadn’t discovered any special abilities.
“Has Experiment No. 9 shown any signs?” Pan Yan asked the observers around her.
“No,” Jiang Chan replied beside her, “According to our observations, it’s the quietest among all the Mutant Creatures. It just eats and sleeps every day, shows no aggression, and never communicates with the other Mutant Creatures.”
“Strange indeed!” Pan Yan exclaimed, “It was the first to undergo nuclear radiation experiments, and other mutants of the same phase have all evolved significantly, but this one shows no change.”
Someone said, “Maybe it’s an anomaly or the Zerg gene contamination wasn’t severe.”
“I don’t understand it either,” Jiang Chan stated with her eyes fixed keenly on Experiment No. 9, “X-ray scans show its vocal organs aren’t damaged. Logically, even if not mutated, dolphins can emit ultrasound and infrasound to communicate. But it has never made such sounds.”
“Its vocal organs differ from normal dolphins, maybe it failed to mutate, and that’s why it’s like a mute,” one researcher said.

“Possibly,” Jiang Chan always felt something was off. She was responsible for observing Experiment No. 9 and had a strong feeling about its high intelligence.
When she looked at Experiment No. 9 again, she noticed a slight change in its mouth curve, resembling the disdainful and mocking expression of a human.
Jiang Chan was about to continue her observation when Experiment No. 9 flipped over and dove into the water to sleep again.
“If only we could translate this sound…” Pan Yan began to speak before her voice abruptly stopped and she fell backward in a faint, as everything went black.
“Teacher!” Jiang Chan’s quick reflexes allowed her to catch Pan Yan, anxiously shouting, “Teacher, what’s wrong?”
Everyone gathered around, “Call the doctor!”
“I, I’m fine,” Pan Yan slowly opened her eyes, breathing heavily, and said, “I might be overly exhausted these days, feeling a bit dizzy, with some tinnitus, and I always feel there’s a voice speaking in my head.”
“Teacher, let’s help you rest,” Jiang Chan and others assisted her to rest.
Soon, a doctor came for an examination and inquiry.
“Academician Pan doesn’t have any major health issues. It’s probably due to the overwork in recent days and she needs some decent rest,” the doctor stated.
“I’ll sleep for an hour, call me after an hour,” Pan Yan said.
“Teacher, you’re working too hard…” Everyone wanted to speak, but she had already closed her eyes.
The group was helpless. They knew they couldn’t persuade Pan Yan.
Everyone continued their research, but Jiang Chan glanced at Experiment No. 9 again, questioning in her heart: *Did the teacher hear the sound as well? Could it really be just a coincidence?*
*No, nothing here should be ignored!* She resolved to “pay more attention” to Experiment No. 9, suspecting there might be undiscovered elements.

In the laboratory at Southwest Jiaotong University, He Xingzhou had already completed the design of the improved magnetic levitation motor group and handed it over to the manufacturing team.
Regarding the vacuum tube, Shen Zhou Steel Group was also working overtime to manufacture it.
At that moment, he was discussing with Zhu Changfeng, Wang Chenggang, and others about how to solve the “moving platform” issue.
The super high-speed train moved too fast and couldn’t stop at stations without wasting time. The real challenge was how to let passengers board and alight.
“Currently, moving platforms seem to be the best option!” Zhu Changfeng analyzed, “Every station would have moving platforms. Passengers enter the moving platform in advance, and when the super high-speed train approaches the station, the moving platform connects with the train body, allowing boarding; likewise, when arriving, passengers ready to alight enter the moving platform, disconnecting from the train body to complete alighting; cargo transport would follow the same procedure!”
“However, this presents another problem,” Wang Chenggang said, “How do we connect and disconnect? Constructing in the horizontal direction greatly increases construction costs and difficulties. Additionally, the moving platform needs to accelerate too, as passengers are initially stationary relative to the super high-speed train and need an acceleration process their bodies can tolerate.”
“Then we should build a circular acceleration tunnel at the station!” Zhu Changfeng suggested, “Passengers or cargo enter the circular acceleration tunnel in advance to speed up; once their speed matches the super high-speed train, they connect to the train body.”
He Xingzhou chimed in, “Gentlemen, I think mobile platforms and circular acceleration tunnels are feasible. As for the connection issue, why not change our approach and connect from the vertical direction instead of the horizontal?”
