Ethan doesn’t know much about physics, but he has also heard that once antimatter comes into contact with ordinary matter, it will immediately annihilate and release a lot of energy, which is one of the reasons why antimatter has never been able to be produced and preserved in large quantities. But the priest says he has access to antimatter
"... After the contact, shouldn't I also be annihilated together?"
"Before that, of course we have to conduct many experiments to make sure that you can withstand the radiation of the Progenitor's egg for a period of time like the last time before considering whether to let you contact. I will not let you have an accident, after all, you are to me. Very precious." Tanisel's brows showed a dash of tenderness, and he reached out and touched Ethan's cheek lightly.
Ethan was deeply immersed in the pair of silver-gray pupils, and after a few long seconds, he forcibly pulled his eyes away, "I can't think of how the Egg of the Order God can help create antimatter."
"Do you know what the traditional way of making antimatter is?"
"Build a hadron collider, repeatedly hit a target with particles to generate anti-particles, and then use a reducer to capture anti-particles." Ethan replied, recalling the reports he had read about Project Zero.
"Yes, but this method consumes a lot of energy, and the antimatter produced is very small and cannot be stored stably for a long time. Every star country in the galaxy has never been able to break through these two barriers, but I guess that the egg of the Sequence God may be would be the key to a breakthrough. That little thing is a mystery to us Eves, but it clearly has the ability to stabilize matter and transform one matter into another. Just give it enough It can arbitrarily reduce or increase the number of neutrons or protons in the nucleus. However, we have never tried to use it to convert the charge of protons or electrons."
"You mean... convert protons into negative charges, electrons into positive charges... Isn't that the technology that directly converts ordinary matter into antimatter? How is this possible?"
The priest shrugged, "Nothing is impossible for me."
Ethan opened his mouth slightly, and after a moment of stunned he asked, "If you Eves have something like this, why don't you make antimatter yourself? Why do you want to help our Earth Alliance?"
Taniser showed a helpless and irritable expression, "It's very simple, because our religious beliefs do not allow us to create antimatter, a substance that may bring major disasters in the universe. Every time someone mentions it, it will be greeted by major The unanimous condemnation of the temple. Our doctrine holds that at the beginning of the universe, there were equal masses of matter and antimatter, that is to say, the universe should have been empty, and all matter will annihilate each other. The reason for the explosion. However, a force, probably the power of the order god, isolated a part of the antimatter from our universe, so we have the Milky Way and other galaxies where we now have planets and life. For us, antimatter, It is a dangerous being like a demon, and it should never be touched."
Ethan frowned, "So you are violating the teachings? When you come to the Earth Alliance this time, does your superior agree?"
Tanithel played with the Ball of Breath in his hand and smiled, "Let's put it this way, in addition to being a priest, my deceased father used to be the Archduke of Eve, so they can't really control me. Other stars The country is secretly developing anti-material weapons. Only we adhere to this outdated doctrine. It will be destroyed sooner or later. They also understand this truth, but they are afraid of this deviant infamy. If they don’t want to, then I will do it well. ."
"Aren't you afraid of being expelled from the temple? Aren't you afraid of being scolded?"
"The mouth is on them, how they want to use it is their business.
Ethan was speechless. The elegant and beautiful man in front of him had such courage, which made him admire.
If it was him, I'm afraid he wouldn't have the courage to do what he thinks is right. He would probably just silently put away his thoughts and go with the flow for life.
But even so, didn't you get yourself into the Forbidden City
"Don't talk about those business affairs, there will be time tomorrow to talk about it." Tanisel suddenly leaned over again and bit Ethan's auricle lightly, causing Beta's body to tremble.
"You said just now that you were not interested, do you have it now?"
*********
Ethan woke up the next morning to find that his wrists were still tied to the head of the bed with the lace from the priest's collar. He tugged but couldn't pull it away. As soon as he turned his head and saw the priest, he hugged him and slept beside him, his long golden eyelashes cast a faint shadow on his lower eyelids, his beautiful nose rubbed against his shoulder, and he looked extraordinarily sleepy. Sophisticated and tranquil.
Ethan's heart softened for a while. He didn't want to disturb him, but his arm was so sore that it seemed to be broken, so he opened his mouth as if to call him. Who would have thought that his voice was so hoarse that he couldn't pronounce a word. His face was hot, remembering how loud he screamed last night, and he didn't know if the sound insulation of this house was good or not, whether the gray hair next door would hear it...
He couldn't move, and the memory drifted back to that decadent night of extravagance yesterday. The priest tied his hands to the head of the bed, poured red wine on his navel, and licked it clean. Just remembering this clip made him groan lowly, wanting to bury himself in the depths of the quilt.
Hearing his murmur, the priest woke up leisurely. Still blindfolded, she stared at him, and kissed him lightly on the chin.
"morning."
Ethan cleared his throat with all his might before he managed to make a frighteningly hoarse voice, "You...cough...can you let me go?"
The priest seemed to realize that they were exhausted last night and went straight to sleep, even forgetting to untie Ethan. He immediately kissed Ethan's forehead apologetically and undid the sash. Ethan moved his arm sadly as if it was about to break, and just as he was about to sit up, he let out another cry of pain. Somewhere was clearly overused, a bit sour and a bit numb. He gave the smiling priest a reproachful look, and stood up, leaning on his waist, clutching the railing at the head of the bed. Realizing that there was nothing on his body, he quickly grabbed the sheet on the bed, wrapped himself around him, and limped to the bathroom.
Halfway through the wash, the shower curtain was pulled open with a bang. Ethan's head and face were covered in shampoo foam, and he couldn't open his eyes. But just relying on the faint sandalwood scent with a bit of lustful aftertaste, he knew that it was Tanisel. His heart beat faster again, and he felt another naked chest against his back, hot water running down the two bodies.
"Wash together?" The priest stroked his back lightly, and his long fingers slid down his spine.
Ethan warned in a low voice, "Don't do weird things!"
"Is it weird to help you wipe your back?"
"Don't touch! Ah..."
So the bath that could have been finished in ten minutes was extended to an hour, and Ethan also found two rows of tooth marks under the collar "grief and indignation" afterwards. Ethan had to stand up the collar of the inhuman uniform to block the two rows of purple marks.
The priest had already left first, and Ethan had just tied the last button when he heard the door open again. Grayfur stood in the doorway, looking at him with an elusive but decidedly malicious smile.
"Looks like you slept well last night?"
Ethan put on his glasses, didn't answer his question, just avoided him and wanted to go out. Greyfur grabbed his arm, however, and whispered, "So that's why that alien has to ask you to take part in this experiment? Because he likes your ass?"
Ethan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Listen, I was nosy about you and Taifeng before, but I almost lost my life on Neptune. Haven't we evened out yet?"
"Equalize? Did you make a mistake?" Gray Mao raised one side of his lips coldly, "I just don't like you."
After he finished speaking, he pressed the electric shock button on the collar for no reason. Ethan suddenly felt as if his neck was being twisted fiercely, followed by numbness and convulsions that quickly spread throughout his body. He had only seen other non-human beings being electrocuted before, but this was the first time he had experienced it himself. He couldn't even make a sound, his whole body seemed to be out of control, stretched so tightly like a bowstring that was about to break at any moment. He couldn't think, his brain seemed to explode.
It was only a momentary electric shock, but it felt like a life-and-death experience. Ethan lay on the ground, gasping for breath, like a dehydrated fish. All he could see in front of him were gray-haired military boots, sluggishly pressing the toe against his forehead.
"Don't think that being an Eve's toy can make you equal to me, you rubbish." He took a cigarette from his pocket, put it in his mouth, and lit it with a lighter, "Do you think that alien can Does it save you every time?"
Ethan tried his best not to look so embarrassed when he entered the medical laboratory where Tanithel was, but the priest obviously sensed something and frowned slightly.
"What happened?" Tanithel looked at Gray Fur with some displeasure.
Gray Mao replied casually, "The superior has an order not to allow him to communicate with unauthorized citizens. He just violated the rules."
Ethan just wanted to calm things down at this time, avoiding Tanisel's probing gaze and scratching the dry skin on the back of his neck. He noticed that Tanisel was not alone in the laboratory, but there was also a Beta, who was about sixty years old, with a refined appearance and great demeanor. The name tag on his chest reads "Dr. Thomas Bruno". The other, younger Alpha, appears to be a doctor, wearing gloves and preparing some medical supplies for drawing blood.
"You must be Mr. Eldridge." The Dr. Bruno didn't wait for Tanisel's introduction, and extended his hand to him, behaving very friendly, "I am the main person in charge of this project."
Ethan took his hand and nodded humbly, "I've seen your name on many reports."
"Yeah, when I occasionally returned to the Energy Bureau to report to work, I saw you a few times from a distance, but maybe you don't remember it. It's a pity that I met you now under such circumstances."
The sincere tone of the other party made Ethan very fond of him, and his willingness to shake hands with him was even more surprising. Most legal citizens avoid any contact with inhumans, not even a word, let alone physical contact.
"I'm ready," said the doctor on the other side. "Mr. Eldridge, please sit here."
The process of drawing blood was quick, but it seemed that the doctor was about to analyze his blood sample with an instrument in this laboratory that seemed to be extremely complex and sophisticated, and the priest and Bruno did not intend to leave. Gray Mao was politely invited out, probably because he didn't want to reveal too much information to unrelated people.
Ethan watched the doctor drop the blood sample from the test tube onto a piece of sensor, and then it slowly retracted into the boxy machine box. Before long, the box's glossy screen began to display the patterns of many blood cells and a series of complex data, changing with the doctor's waving gestures, and even began to pinpoint the nucleus and DNA information inside some white blood cells.
Ethan didn't seem right when he saw the doctor's expression. He kept switching the information interface, then suddenly clicked his tongue, stood up and looked at Ethan, "Sorry, there may be some problems with the blood sample I took just now, do you mind if I take a little more?"
Ethan didn't know what was going on, so he just said, "It's okay."
Tanisel also came over and asked, "What's the problem?"
"I don't know, it may be that the blood sampled just now is contaminated, or there may be a problem with the machine, let me try again." The doctor's tone was a little hurried, and his movements simply and neatly took out a little bit of red on Ethan's arm again. Transfer to the machine for analysis.
However, not only did the doctor's tight brows show no signs of loosening, but the wrinkles deepened. He even restarted the machine once, but still had a damned look on his face.
"What the hell happened?" Even Dr. Bruno was wondering now.
The doctor took a few steps back, shook his head in confusion, raised his head to look at Ethan, "This blood sample... is not quite right."
