The research pod, despite its fancy name, resembled a simple, large white barrel. Instead of an intricate, futuristic design with multiple complex components seamlessly integrated, it appeared to be a singular piece crafted through 3D printing technology beyond human comprehension. A small floating display appeared on one side, providing the necessary information and interface for operation.
Alex walked towards it and opened the lid. The research pod was filled with a slimy liquid that adjusted volume according to the object that was being placed inside.
Based on his knowledge, Alex understood that the slimy liquid within the research pod could break down the objects placed inside, acting as a solvent. Once broken down, the liquid would then be transported through a network of tiny tubes that covered the interior of the research pod. These tubes facilitated the testing and analysis of the dissolved substances.
