The laboratory lights were stark white, glaring. Reynolds and Mikhail stood before the holographic projection table.
The three-dimensional model suspended in the air was a complex molecular structure, composed of countless glowing lines and nodes, each detail slowly rotating.
Reynolds lightly tapped in the void, adjusting the model's parameters.
Mikhail occasionally glanced up at the screen, frowning slightly, then adjusted the quantum spectrum analyzer. The instrument emitted a low hum, with complex data streams flickering on the screen.
Suddenly, a node within the model emitted a glaring red light, and the entire structure began to tremble unstably.
Mikhail immediately approached the console, fingers reaching inside, attempting to stabilize the model, but to no avail; it eventually collapsed.
"Well..." Reynolds sighed, but wasn't too disappointed. As he was preparing for the next experiment, Mikhail spoke, "Azure Dragon is here..."
