Ruan Shiqing was extremely excited and began to adjust the instrument again. He stared at the display screen closely, not missing any tiny fluctuations: "It is indeed escaping from the wormhole. We need to get closer."
His cheeks were flushed with excitement, with a light blush on them. His black eyes were extremely bright and his whole body seemed to be glowing.
Rong Heng looked at him from the side, the heat from the tips of his ears gradually spreading to his chest.
The heartbeat was rapid and powerful, and the beating sound was clearly audible.
He secretly recalled the feeling of hugging the other person, as if a certain void was filled, and his whole body was wrapped in warmth and joy.
The feeling was so strange, as if tiny electric currents were climbing up from the soles of his feet, making his mouth dry and his tongue throb.
After moving uncomfortably, Rong Heng turned around, increased his speed, and approached the wormhole.
The closer you are to the wormhole, the greater the fluctuations in the data on the detector.
It was not until the shuttle approached the impulse entrance that the fluctuations inside reached their maximum value.
Ruan Shiqing quickly analyzed the recorded data: "When we first passed through a wormhole, I was sure there was no fluctuation near it. Now there is suddenly such a big fluctuation, as if the other side of the wormhole connection has changed."
"Do you want to go in and take a look?" Rong Heng asked.
"Isn't it too dangerous?" Ruan Shiqing hesitated.
If he was alone, he would go in and take a look without hesitation, but with Mr. Rong involved, he was worried that he might put the other party in danger.
Mr. Rong has helped him a lot.
"It doesn't matter if there's danger." Rong Heng wanted to remain reserved and humble, but when he met the other person's worried gaze, he couldn't help but want to show his better side.
"I can protect you."
Although the semi-collapsed wormhole is full of unstable factors, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has passed through it before.
Hearing him say this, Ruan Shiqing smiled, knowing that he had misunderstood his meaning, but in the end he did not explain. After thinking for a moment, he decided to go in and take a look.
If the first time they encountered this phenomenon was just a coincidence, then if they wait until they are fully prepared, they will probably miss the opportunity.
He was reluctant to give up.
After getting his consent, Rong Heng reminded him to sit tight, then sped up and entered the wormhole through the entrance.
The inside of the wormhole was pitch black, and nothing could be seen from the window. If it weren't for the dashboard showing the vehicle moving forward, in this pitch-black darkness, even time would seem to have stopped.
If you stay in it for a long time, it is easy to have problems such as cognitive confusion and excessive stress.
Therefore, when performing a wormhole jump, most drivers will choose the automatic driving mode, set the time, and then take a nap in the rest cabin.
But now this half-collapsed wormhole is not stable, and in order to facilitate Ruan Shiqing to monitor the data at any time, Rong Heng still sits firmly in the driver's seat.
The voyage inside the wormhole was extremely dull and boring, so he could only turn his attention to Ruan Shiqing.
The other party had his eyes downcast, analyzing the data carefully, his fine black hair hanging down on the sides of his face, and the light from above his head cast light and dark shadows on his face, making his facial features look more profound and three-dimensional, and making him look a little more mature and sharp than usual.
When he is working, he is always very serious and focused.
There is a kind of charm that is completely different from usual.
Rong Heng moved his hands on the console, and his fingertips felt a little itchy. If he was not afraid of disturbing Ruan Shiqing's work, he would like to use his fingertips to carefully trace his profile and remember the scene firmly in his heart.
But in the end, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just stared at him deeply.
Ruan Shiqing, who was absorbed in his work, finally realized something was wrong. When he raised his head, he met his eyes.
He was stunned for a moment, vaguely feeling that the other person's eyes were a little strange, but he couldn't tell exactly what was strange.
"What's wrong?"
Rong Heng looked away uncomfortably, his Adam's apple rolling under his collar, and he made up excuses for his behavior: "Nothing, I was just a little bored, so I just watched you work."
As soon as he finished speaking, he pursed his lips in annoyance, and his words sounded like he was complaining.
But Ruan Shiqing didn't think much about it. He smiled and said, "Then I'll chat with you."
After entering the wormhole, the data from the detector gradually stabilized and fluctuated upward, indicating that they were approaching the source. So he didn't have to stare at the data so nervously anymore.
"I forgot to ask you before, I saw the live video that was reposted on the holographic website," Ruan Shiqing said, "The group of interstellar pirates who call themselves the 'Eastern Alliance' are you and Melaire in disguise, right?"
Although he is wearing a mask, if you are familiar with him, you can recognize him at a glance.
When he first saw the video, he was a little surprised and shocked. He didn't expect that Mr. Rong, who looked very serious and solemn, would do such a "rebellious" thing. But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that doing so was the best way.
It can not only disclose the bad things done by Sijia Lanxing and arouse public vigilance, but also conceal one's own identity well.
Mr. Rong and his men are from the military after all, so they may have some scruples when doing things. But if they pretend to be interstellar pirates, they will face fewer obstacles in getting things done.
Unexpectedly, he had also seen the video. Rong Heng’s face froze, and he said “hmm” after a long while.
He doesn't look tall and handsome at all with the mask on. The Crown Prince said sullenly, "This is all Mellor's idea."
If he had known that Ruan Shiqing had also seen it, he should have changed into more decent clothes that day.
Ruan Shiqing understood very well and said, "His Majesty the Emperor wants to declare war on Sijialan Star. You must be in a difficult situation, right?"
Otherwise, he wouldn't have deliberately hidden his identity and exposed the news online. With Mr. Rong's ability, he should be able to report it directly to the military and attract the attention of the empire.
But in the end he chose this approach, which shows that relying on the Empire is not feasible. Ruan Shiqing's expression revealed some concerns: "Does the Empire really want to go to war with Sijialan Star?"
"It's very likely." Speaking of this, Rong Heng's expression was not very good, his eyes were dim: "Both the emperor and Sijia Lanxing are ambitious. They will have a battle sooner or later. It depends on who has more chips and a greater chance of winning."
"Then will you also join the battle?"
Rong Heng shook his head: "The soldiers on the front line only know how to kill Zerg, and they don't point their guns at their own people."
Regardless of whether Si Yan started a civil war or not, Yenjisi would defend the southeastern defense line to the death.
Ruan Shiqing sighed: "But once the battle begins, none of us can escape unscathed."
This is also the reason why he was so excited after discovering antimatter. In such a chaotic country, only strong military force can protect itself.
Once the war begins, Planet B3024 will definitely be affected. In order to protect himself, or even more people, he must become stronger.
Rong Heng seemed to see through his thoughts and said in a deep voice: "We must not let this war burn too long."
"Um."
Ruan Shiqing responded softly. In fact, he did not have a deep sense of belonging to the Galactic Empire. Both the backward feudal imperial system and the widespread racial discrimination made him feel uncomfortable.
But Star B3024, Mr. Rong, and Dares and the others all made him still have a glimmer of hope for this world.
The world is not completely dark, there are also beautiful fireflies flickering in the night.
So he is also willing to work together for it.
“There seems to be light ahead.”
The sudden appearance of light made Ruan Shiqing end the topic and shift all his attention to the window - a faint light source could be vaguely seen in the window that was originally pitch black.
Rong Heng also calmed down and sped up towards the light source.
As they got closer, the vague light source became clearer. Looking at the star field that was constantly exploding in front of them, both of them showed surprised expressions.
—It was an extremely dense star field, shaped like a flying saucer, with brilliant nebulae covering countless planets of various sizes. These planets orbited each other and moved in their own orbits, as if they were firmly condensed together by some kind of magnetic field, suspended in a dark wormhole.
And at the edge of this star field, explosions are constantly occurring.
After the dazzling light, the nebulae and planets at the edge all turned into stardust and dispersed, and most of them were still condensed in the star field due to gravity. They gradually gathered and condensed, and in the near future, they might evolve into a new nebula or a new planet.
And a small amount of stardust dissipates in all directions.
Ruan Shiqing stared at the data transmitted by the detector, his voice trembling slightly: "Some explosions are caused by annihilation reactions."
His eyes glowed with burning light, and he almost pressed his entire body against the window: "That star field is likely to be a whole source of antimatter."
Antimatter source, as the name suggests, is an aggregate of antimatter.
In his original world, there was a theory that matter and antimatter were opposites. Since there was a world made of matter, there must be a world made of antimatter. It was just that in the world they existed, matter and antimatter were not equal, otherwise the world would have exploded due to annihilation reaction.
But this does not mean that antimatter does not exist in the world of positive matter. Some people have speculated that there may be antimatter sources in some places they have not yet explored.
The trace amounts of antimatter they captured from the universe escaped from antimatter sources.
It's just that this theory has never been confirmed - because no one has ever found a source of antimatter.
Leaning on the window with his hands clenched tightly, Ruan Shiqing kept breathing in and out, trying his best to calm himself down. He turned his head and said to Rong Heng: "Let's get closer. I want to try to capture some antimatter."
—He used the Zerg's shell and imitated its structure to create a magnetic container for storing antimatter.
The Zerg's shell can isolate antimatter, and the magnetic field can condense antimatter in one place to prevent it from escaping.
He carefully took out a strange-looking metal bottle from the password box and said excitedly, "You find a relatively safe place to stay. I'll go out for a while."
The storage containers that were rushed out required delicate manual operation and could not be replaced by robotic arms, so he had to collect them personally.
Rong Heng frowned disapprovingly: "It's too dangerous outside, teach me how to use it, and I'll go for you."
But this time Ruan Shiqing insisted, his face full of excitement: "I want to go by myself."
For him, it was a historic moment.
An unprecedented discovery, he wanted to complete it himself.
"It's more dangerous outside than you think." Rong Heng tried to persuade him. He pointed at the floating meteorites and said, "You can't feel it in the shuttle, but in fact, the explosion outside will be accompanied by huge air currents. Some meteorites seem to have a slow trajectory, but in fact they are very fast."
Seeing that Ruan Shiqing was unwilling to give up, he could only compromise: "If you must go by yourself, then I will accompany you. I will never let you go out alone."
His expression was very serious and his attitude was very firm. His dark golden eyes were full of disapproval, but he still took a step back under his insistence.
Ruan Shiqing was not ungrateful. After a brief thought, he placed the storage container in his hand and said, "Then let's go together."
Rong Heng's frown finally relaxed, and while he was changing into his space suit, he handed over the driving rights to Noah.
The two men put on space suits and were connected around their waists with an ultra-light chain made of vorm metal.
Ruan Shiqing held the container in one hand and held his hand with the other: "Let's go."
The hatch at the rear slowly opened, and Rong Heng led him and floated out of the hatch.
He moved very skillfully, controlling his direction and forward motion with the help of small thrusters mounted on his limbs.
Ruan Shiqing was led by him, and walked forward in a rather awkward manner - he just realized that his courage was a bit reckless. He had not received any professional training, and if he rashly went out alone, he would probably have to trouble Mr. Rong to pick him up.
His cheeks flushed, and he felt a little envious as he looked at Mr. Rong who was holding his hand and walking forward.
Even in the weightless space, his posture is impeccable. He is truly an excellent soldier.
"Is it okay here?" Rong Heng stopped cautiously.
The further you go, the greater the resistance. The airflow ejected by the explosion spreads out like huge waves in the sea, pushing people outward continuously. If you are not careful, you can be submerged in the vast universe.
"Let me try." Ruan Shiqing was being held by him, and it was inconvenient to operate with one hand. He fiddled with it for a while but couldn't get it right, so he said to Rong Heng, "Hold me for a while."
!!!!!!!
Hearing these words, Rong Heng was secretly delighted for a moment, but then he quickly realized that he just did it for the convenience of operation.
Carefully reaching out to hold the other person's waist, Rong Heng hugged him tightly as if he was holding a precious treasure.
Although he couldn't feel anything because of the thick space suit, he couldn't help but secretly smile in the corner where Ruan Shiqing couldn't see.
