Just as a collision seemed imminent, the carrier-based aircraft abruptly slowed!
In just a few seconds, they went from full speed to a complete standstill!
The drones hovered silently directly above the Giant Trees' canopy, seemingly waiting for something.
The leaves in the canopy slowly turned until they all faced the three Carrier-Based Drones.
It looked almost like an act of worship.
Only then did the drones gradually descend toward the rather cramped "landing pad" on the ground.
When they landed successfully, thick roots lay prostrate around the landing pad.
Farther away, the previously quiet forest also stirred to life.
Roots rose from the ground, constantly driving away the Lost Giant Insects foolish enough to approach.
The hatch doors slowly opened.
Research Robots emerged one after another, carrying a large amount of equipment.
Meanwhile, a root thicker than ordinary roots lay along the ground, slowly extending toward the Carrier-Based Drones.
This quickly drew the Research Robots' attention.
The small Laser Cannons mounted on the drones swiftly turned to aim at the approaching root.
Under the Laser Cannons' sights, the root slowly came to a stop in front of the Research Robots.

Watching the live footage in the Holographic Projection, Lü Yongchang raised a hand to rub his chin with interest.
He recalled what [Nus] had just said. "Could this be the [Intent Network] interface provided for us?"
"It probably is."
With everything proceeding smoothly, Mao Zhengzhi's voice carried a faint hint of amusement. "Judging by its diameter, this root isn't part of the shallow root system. It should be much deeper underground."
Lü Yongchang nodded. After a moment's consideration, he gave an order. "Zero, insert both the electrodes and the probe needles into this root."
"Understood."
Under Zero's control, more than a dozen Research Robots divided up the
