Regular Dodecahedron

Dr. Brief and Umu, among others, have been studying the Planet Mesanda for a long time. Although this war planet, built by the Alta, is not as sturdy as the Space Island, it has much to offer as an ancient creation.

Dr. Brief has been on Warstar and has collected a great deal of data about it.

Recently, Dr. Brief and his team's research has entered a critical region of the planet, near its core, where the complex piping and numerous obstacles have significantly slowed down the research progress.

Because of the complex and uncertain terrain, for safety reasons, Dr. Brief team did not go down into the pipes. Instead, they used research robots to enter the critical areas in their place. These research robots were small in size and had the ability to fly and cut through obstacles. They were actually modified from the construction robots used to build spaceships in the spaceport.

When Roland met Dr. Brief, their research had already reached a bottleneck.

"Look, Roland, there's a giant Dodecahedron at the core of the Planet Mesanda. It's like a palace, firmly fixed to the very center of the planet by various pipes..." Dr. Brief pointed to the spatial model on the monitor after Roland arrived.

The Dodecahedron is very large, with a diameter of about 10,000 meters, and looks like a small ball embedded in the Earth's core.

"... Some of those complex pipes serve a reinforcing function, while others, though seemingly redundant, are believed by us to function as energy transporters. Since several large energy furnaces were also discovered near the Dodecahedron, we have ruled out it as the planet's power source. This Dodecahedron may be some other crucial structure."

"Can we send a robot into the center to investigate?" Roland asked.

"We are worried about this. The closer we get to the center, the stronger the defenses in that area become. You know, our research robots are also equipped with highly destructive Super-Energy Weapon an energy intensity of about 5 degrees, but they still can't break through the outer barriers."

"With such tight security, it's hard to say there's no problem," Roland said, stroking his chin.

For the ancient Alta, no amount of caution is excessive. Sephiria had recently encountered an Alta easily defeated her, indicating that the Alta had not completely disappeared and were still surviving somewhere in the universe, perhaps simply disguised and hiding their identities, or perhaps becoming a race lurking in the shadows.

The universe is so vast, and powerful experts emerge one after another; you never know when one might suddenly appear.

Even though Roland has now become Super Saiyan, he still can't say he's invincible. He's filled with apprehension towards the Alta.

The war star before him was a War Fortress left behind by the Alta. Although it had been abandoned for a long time, as the planet that once gave birth to the Pui Clan, its core might contain some information or things that could help him understand the Alta.

After a brief consideration, Roland decided to clear the obstacles in front of Dr. Brief and his team.

"Doctor, give me a map of the surrounding terrain. I'll carve out a passage."

"The surrounding terrain has already been surveyed by robots. The areas marked in red are places where robots cannot approach." As he spoke, Dr. Brief brought out a computer and showed a three-dimensional spatial structure.

Roland observed several key points, nodded, and said, "I'll go take a look. You guys prepare some people to follow me."

Umu volunteered, "Master, let me follow behind."

Roland glanced at Umu and said directly, "Your physical strength is too weak. Put on your armor before you come back."

"Yes."

Seeing that Roland did not refuse, Umu looked at Roland with eager eyes and shouted excitedly. Umu had been involved in the research on the Planet Mesanda from beginning to end, and being able to enter the core area made his scientific spirit rise higher and higher.

Accompanying Umu into the core were many scientists from the Lis Race and other races. They were given time to change their armor, while Roland had already headed towards the Dodecahedron based on the terrain he had explored.

Dr. Brief had originally hoped to go along, but considering the potential dangers inside, Roland insisted that he not go. Dr. Brief sighed, knowing he couldn't go, and stopped insisting, turning instead to studying other parts of Planet Mesanda.

With Roland leading the way, the research progressed much faster. Areas that the research robots couldn't access before became unobstructed thanks to Roland's violent charge. However, the closer they got to the center, the greater the obstacles they encountered. They were thwarted by several waves of Mechanical Warrior, and they didn't know what kind of power source these Mechanical Warrior used to be, yet they were still able to operate after so long.

"As expected of the planet that nurtured the Pui Clan, the core guards are so powerful; these guard robots already have nearly 100,000 units of energy..."

Roland walked ahead, smiling as she looked at the robots. Then she waved her hand, and with a series of crackling sounds, all the robots in front of her stopped moving.

"Everything has stopped..."

"If our master hadn't led the way, we would never have been able to get this far."

Seeing the robots with an energy level of 100,000 so fragile in front of Roland, Umu's heart surged with excitement, and his gaze towards Roland was filled with intense admiration. Roland smiled and said to Umu Mu, "These robots weren't completely destroyed; we'll tow them back to outer space in the Sadala Galaxy for research."

"Yes, sir."

Umu's expression hardened, and he replied seriously, looking at the robots as if they were his beloved toys. After instructing some Lis Race scientists to stay behind and conduct research, the group continued towards the core area.

With Roland leading the way, all obstacles became insignificant. In half a day, the group entered the interior of the Dodecahedron. Umu and the others displayed the research enthusiasm of scientists, conducting various studies on the equipment inside. After confirming that there was no danger inside, Dr. Brief also entered the core.

"The environment here seems to be a cultivation center..." Dr. Brief looked at the rows of transparent hibernation pods, inside which were withered Pui who had not yet grown.

"According to Queen Pui, this war star is one of the birthplaces of the Pui Clan."

Roland agreed with Dr. Brief's point of view, but there were still a few unclear points. If it was only intended as a place to incubate Pui, then why was it necessary to build it so meticulously and place the entire incubation site at the very core of the planet? Anywhere on the surface of Mingxing Planet would have been fine.

"Perhaps... this is just a cover-up."

After a moment of deep thought, Dr. Brief and Umu and the others began to explore their surroundings, and Roland took the opportunity to walk around as well.

This Dodecahedron has a diameter of 10,000 meters and is divided into several layers. Apart from the space occupied by the Pui incubation chambers, the rest of the structure is made of thick steel plates.

"Master, we've probed the surrounding spatial structure. These incubation chambers are arranged in a ring shape, but there should actually be an area with a diameter of one kilometer that hasn't been discovered yet." Umu used the computer to calculate, just like a large sphere containing a smaller sphere, there should be a mysterious place at the center of the Dodecahedron.

"I understand." Roland nodded. It turned out that most of the area shown here was just to deceive people.

These challenges were no match for him. With a calm smile, Roland clenched his fist, gathering terrifying energy in his hand. He aimed at the wall and swung it forcefully. A sharp light flashed, and with a deafening roar, a large hole was blasted in the wall at the center of the Dodecahedron.

The wall is five meters thick, and a walkway appears behind it.

Roland smiled as he saw the corridor. "There really is a hidden area. The Alta have gone to great lengths to conceal it; there might be some secrets involved."

P. S.: There will be a few more chapters tonight.

I recommend a Dragon Ball fanfiction called "This Dragon Ball is Toxic," where the protagonist is reincarnated as Android 17.
