Ultraman: Because I am Gatanothor.

Daigo looked dejected. Ever since he learned there was a way to rescue the three, he had voluntarily entered the Spark Lens to receive special training from Ultraman Tiga.

The light energy is slightly greater than before.

However, this amount of light energy is far from enough to save those people.

But this is already the result of his best efforts.

Lina and Shinjo were looking at the latest flight manual in their hands, which recorded the latest weapons and equipment of the Flying Swallow, as well as the operating procedures.

Moreover, Horii, who had been AFK the whole time, finally returned from Kura Island.

He was discussing the analysis process of the [Petrifying Ray] with Fengdu.

"Actually, there have been examples of petrification on Earth for a long time!"

Holding the report on the [Petrifying Ray], looking at the analytical data and listening to Horii's words, Fengdu asked, "Are you referring to Lake Natron?"

He had read articles on this topic when he was doing research.

Lake Natron is the most alkaline lake in the world. It is located in the eastern part of the East African Rift Valley, where the climate is high year-round with almost no rain, making it very arid.

The intense sun made the lake water very hot.

To its southeast lies another famous active volcano, Mount Gelai.

The sodium carbonate lava that erupts from this volcano flows into Lake Natron, which is why the lake water is so hot.

Furthermore, sodium carbonate can greatly enhance the alkalinity of lake water, which causes animals encased in this water to slowly calcify. At the same time, the high temperature of the lake water causes the minerals on the animals' bodies to gradually crystallize and adhere to their bodies.

However, this petrification only looks like petrification.

Horii shook his head when he heard what Kaede said.

"No, I meant fossils!"

"Fossils!?" Fengdu was taken aback. He put down the documents in his hand and listened carefully to Horii's words.

"Yes, fossils, such as ancient dinosaurs. After these dinosaurs died, their soft tissues, such as skin and internal organs, would rot away first, leaving only bones."

The bones were then covered by mud and sand. Over tens of thousands of years, the pressure of the soil squeezed out the water from the bones, leaving only minerals. These minerals then slowly evolved into fossils.

After saying that, he picked up a glass of water, took a sip, and then said with great interest, "And Gakuma's [Petrifying Ray] is related to this."

Their light consists of many components, including a special light that triggers mineral growth. When minerals are exposed to this light, they grow rapidly, resulting in petrification!

Fengdu thought this was utter nonsense.

If stimulating minerals to 'grow' can turn them into stone, then how did Gakuma manage to turn iron vehicles back into stone?

As if noticing the doubt in Fengdu's eyes, Horii continued, "And within Gakuma's rays, there is also a portion that can produce a displacement effect!"

"Displacement effect?"

"That's right, it's through the exchange with surrounding minerals, such as the replacement of molecules in a rock! This achieves the petrification effect."

"Most importantly, the [Petrifying Ray] contains a special energy that can break molecules apart, then recombine them, ultimately turning them into stone!"

After talking for so long, we still haven't gotten to the point.

Fengdu rolled his eyes at him and handed the document back to him.

"You could have just mentioned this last thing earlier, why did you have to go on with the first two?"

He and his fellow readers had been looking forward to something for nothing, thinking they would gain another skill.

Instead of using rays that destroy and recombine molecules, he might as well just kill the enemy directly. Besides, he has the ability to use rays that destroy molecular structures, but he can't make them recombine.

This is not something that can be accomplished simply by having strong strength; it also involves a lot of knowledge in areas that he does not understand.

After tossing the document to Horii, Fudo glanced at the time.

It was already six o'clock in the evening.

He put his arm around Daigo's neck and said with a grin, "Come on, Daigo, I'll take you out for a big meal!"

Daigo was taken aback, scratched his head, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Isn't this inappropriate?"

"It's okay, you can treat me next time!"

Lina looked at Fengdu with a resentful expression and said angrily, "Little Feng, you said you would accompany me on duty!"

Lina and Xincheng are on duty tonight, while the others are resting as usual.

Tomorrow is Daigo's turn to rest, and due to certain circumstances, Fuuto and Rena can go straight home after get off work without having to stay in the command room.

This was also due to the significant contributions of Kaede, Nanase, and Rena to TPC, and was personally approved by Director Sawai.

As Daigo watched Rena's petite and feminine demeanor, his heart began to race uncontrollably, and his cheeks started to flush.

'Lina is so cute!'

Ignoring Lina's little mood, Fengdu pushed Daigo towards the door, saying goodbye to the people in the command room at the same time.

The doors behind them were already closed. Feng Du, with his arm around Daigo, noticed the expression on his face and asked curiously, "Daigo, what's wrong with you? Why does your heart beat faster and your cheeks feel hot?"

Startled, Daigo quickly broke free from his restraints and strode forward.

"Maybe it's because it's my turn to rest that I got excited!" he explained hastily.

Feng Du looked at him with disbelief. He got excited just because he was on leave?!

That's clearly a lie.

You should know that Daigo is very enthusiastic. He almost always accompanies Rena whenever she is on duty.

If anyone else has something to do, Daigo will also be very helpful in taking their shift.

Suddenly, he remembered Lina's posture just now, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Daigo, did you see what my sister looks like and that's why you're attracted to her?"

Upon hearing this, Fengdu could clearly see Daigu stagger and almost fall.

He quickly protested, "No! Xiao Feng, stop teasing me! Let's go have a big meal!"

As he spoke, he quickly went into the elevator and waited for Fengdu to come in.

Feng Du felt that Daigu looked really funny right now. After entering the elevator, he chuckled and called out in a coquettish voice.

"Brother-in-law~"

Daigo was instantly choked by the air that was sucked in.

"Cough cough..."

He gave a bitter laugh and pleaded, "Xiao Feng, please, please let me go!"

"Alright!" Fengdu shrugged and stopped teasing Daigo.

They soon reached the first layer of the sea.

There are large TPC changing rooms here, one for each person.

The two quickly changed into casual clothes, got into a shared car, and headed towards Beikacho in Tokyo.

Looking at the increasingly familiar streets, Daigo asked blankly, "Xiaofeng, where should we eat?"

Fengdu drove the car around the corner, stopped outside an iron gate, honked the horn twice, and then replied, "My house!"

Daigo was startled and quickly looked at the sign at the door, which had two words written on it.

Nanase.

Upon seeing this, Daigo's face immediately fell into a panic. "Ah, didn't you say we were just going to a regular restaurant? How did we end up eating at your house? This is my first time visiting, and I didn't bring any gifts! That's so impolite! Wait for me, I'll go buy some gifts!"

As he spoke, he was about to push open the car door and get out.

Feng Du said with a grin, "A greeting gift? Daigu, are you trying to come and ask for my sister's hand in marriage?"

Upon hearing this, Daigo's face immediately turned red. He was extremely uncomfortable, unsure whether to sit or leave.

"That's not... no... not that..."

For a moment, he was at a loss, and he acted out a real-life version of the mute bride.

Nanase Akiko also heard the car horn outside the door and pressed the switch to open the door from inside the room.

Seeing the door open, Fengdu's playful expression vanished, and he said, "Daigo, don't worry, our family doesn't care about those things!"

Daigo replied somewhat nervously, "But it wouldn't be good to come empty-handed on my first visit!"

"It's okay! My mom isn't like that. Besides, my sister and I bought all the nutritional supplements and gifts we could find when we went home. The house is already overflowing. Otherwise, why wouldn't I have let you buy them!"

That's true. His father's study was already overflowing with all sorts of gifts. If his mother wanted to open a shop, she would only need to rent one.

There is absolutely no need to purchase inventory.

Moreover, the selection of goods is very complete.

They even have Brain Gold and Liuwei Dihuang Pills!

Chapter 59 Daigo is an orphan

Fengdu pushed Daigu into his house.

Nanase Akiko had prepared dinner long ago, but she didn't touch her chopsticks. Each dish was covered with a bowl to keep it warm.

She was still holding a stack of photos in her hand, constantly flipping through and picking through them.

He would occasionally scrutinize the buttocks in the photo.

Zoga's pigeon had already flown away when Fengdu was about to return, keeping a great distance from Daigo.

It doesn't have the right hand of God to help it completely isolate itself from the aura of darkness. As soon as Daigo sees it, he will recognize its identity.

"Mom, I'm home!"

Daigo quickly and awkwardly greeted him.

"Mom... no... Auntie, it's my first time visiting, and I haven't brought a gift. I'm so sorry!"

Nanase Akiko heard a strange yet somewhat familiar voice, paused, looked up, and saw the person standing in the doorway.

"Hey, Daigo-kun, come in and sit down!" she said, putting away the photos and pointing to the dining table.
