Chapter 1324: Heart of the Swarm (23)

――TR.82.11.28――
The surface of Haven Star, Botanical Research Institute.
The name of this research institute is not very loud, but it is the most authoritative crop research institute on Haven Star. From the outside, it may only be considered as an automated farm.
Before Renault, Tykes and Jimmy took the shuttle to land, they could see that the surrounding fields with various crops were actually shrouded by a huge dome. In other words, the place where he set foot at the moment was actually a super Before the giant greenhouse.
Tosh did not accompany him, because his appearance was very characteristic, and he might have been recognized directly, providing intelligence support to Renault only through communication.
The staff who brought them in used the walkie-talkie next to the gate to say a few words, and soon some researchers came out to greet Renault.
"Hello, Commander Renault, I am the dean of this institute, Ariel Pamela Hansen." The leading female researcher reached out to Renault: "I think my father has told you that I Thing."
This is a pretty capable professional woman with black hair and grey eyes, oval face, thin eyebrows and phoenix eyes, wearing a black sweater and a straight skirt, a white coat, a pair of silver glasses on her face, and long hair. Combed into a single braid hanging on one shoulder.
"Ah, of course, fortunately, Ms. Hansen," Renault shook hands with her, and then glanced at her entourage: "About our coming..."
"The relevant research results are ready, please follow me." Ariel nodded and took the initiative to lead the way.
Research results?
Renault was a little surprised, but he still followed her.
Prior to this, he had reached a consensus with the Hansen Speaker. Renault and his rangers secretly investigated the possible secret bases of the Federation, and Havenstar would help cover up the news of Bucerfalos and the commotion that occurred during Operation Renault. , As long as the trouble is not too great, all kinds of accidents can be used to cover up the past.
In the speaker's words, since the Federation wanted to build a secret base without telling him, if the base was secretly used, he would not be held accountable.
In this "deal", Haiwen Star is the one who wants people, so Speaker Hansen decided to give away all the items on Renault's shopping list for free, and by the way share Haiwen's years of agricultural experience and technology.
Obviously the speaker still regarded Renault as the head of the mercenary group in the retired pastoral. These things are really useful for Marsala, but for Keha they are just icing on the cake, but since they are given, it is disrespectful.
According to Speaker Hansen’s suggestion, this Institute of Botany should have clues about the secret federal base, but looking at his daughter's meaning, does it mean that he
share the latest scientific and technological achievements
as a literal meaning?
But she doesn't look like such a straightforward person.

After a while, Ariel, who led Renault to a conference room, carried out a series of textbook-like anti-eavesdropping operations after leaving the entourage, which proved that Renault's sloppy judgment was completely wrong.
"Sorry, I'm not sure if there are any of them in the institute, so I didn't talk about business for the first time." She shook off the twists on her shoulders: "Now we can talk about the task of eliminating the rapes that my father gave you. ."
No, in a sense your father is the rape.
"They?" Renault asked: "Do you already have a suspect?"
"Of course," Ariel opened the projection in the conference room: "Most of Haven’s farms are all converted from settlements that were colonized. If the Federation planned to build a secret base in Haven from the beginning, then we I also recognize it, so our focus has been on the establishment of farms with suspicious behavior in recent years."
The projected content is a global virtual image of Haven Star. It can be seen that most of the area is green, a small part of the area is bright yellow, and three specific locations are dazzling red.
"These locations are suspicious farms?" Renault looked at the red spots.
"To be precise, there are only two places." Ariel zoomed in on the images of the three locations: "This is a livestock farm. The live poultry it exports recently is very aggressive. Although it can't cause any trouble, it's too noisy. There have been many complaints; and this is a wheat farm, it is nothing special and the quality of the flour it produces is also very good, but according to their planting area, the output is a bit too low."
"It sounds suspicious indeed, maybe some secret research is indeed being conducted, is there a search?" Jimmy commented with the instinct of his scout.
"Since they did not commit any obvious illegal or criminal acts, we have no reason to go directly to search," Ariel glanced at Jimmy and began to show the third place: "This is not a farm, it is an undeveloped jungle of Haven Star. We noticed it because the surrounding farm’s fields were invaded. The growth rate of plants in this woodland is dozens of times faster than under normal conditions.

"I think you have analyzed and inspected them?" Renault said while looking at a more detailed forest analysis report than the previous two.
There are many pictures in the report, showing a strange forest composed of towering trees, huge vines and shrubs. If it weren't informed in advance that it was Haiwen, it might be regarded as an undeveloped primitive planet.
"This is our job," Ariel nodded. "After testing, the woodland seems to exist before Haven started development. Haven hadn't approached its territory during the previous development process, so there has been no action. , And after the surrounding farms expanded to its vicinity, reports of infringement of farmland began to appear, as if they were...living."
Saying such unprofessional words made Ariel's cheeks redden, and Tycus whistled, and Renault elbowed him in the waist.
"I think you mean these plants have their own consciousness, rather than ordinary plants?" Renault followed Ariel's words and continued: "But if they existed before Haven started construction, they must not be a federal ambush. So we should go to the livestock farm first."
After all, it’s impossible for those bugs to evolve from plants. If the Federation has relevant research, it will definitely carry out biological experiments. However, the farm with abnormal yield is also questionable. It is very likely that those fields are just cover up, cover up below. Dizine deposits.
If you have the opportunity, you should take a look at both.
"Your identification and transportation have been arranged," Ariel seems to agree: "As agricultural experts visiting from other galaxies, you are given the privilege of exploring every farm in Haven at will."
The arrangement is quite proper, the only problem is that Tycus is not like an "expert" at all.
