Chapter 183 Black Hole [Second Update]
Ruan Xi and He Ziqian's departure this time can be described as very quiet. They did not let anyone see them off. They directly drove a small spaceship and left the Imperial Capital Star from the civilian airport. Even the two old men could only sigh silently.
The small spaceship that the two people were piloting looked like a common household model on the market, but its interior had been completely remodeled. Apart from being called a spaceship, almost nothing about it matched its appearance. Most importantly, this spaceship could withstand cosmic storms below level eight without being damaged, and it had a super strong self-repair function. Its manufacturing materials were the same as those of Chi Lin. There was only this one in the entire Yinyu Empire, and it was definitely the only one of its kind.
"This little spaceship is really nice!"
"unique."
"General Tian has invested a lot of money this time!"
When they first left Hong Kong, Ruan Xi was still in the mood for some joking. But gradually, when the two of them talked about serious matters, Ruan Xi's heart became heavy again. Especially when he thought of the strange sense of disharmony around Mr. He, Ruan Xi felt suffocated and hesitated for a while, feeling very uncomfortable.
"What's wrong? Is there something you can't say? What's there to be afraid of telling me? Is it related to me?" He Ziqian noticed that something was wrong with Ruan Xi at the first moment and tried to make a joke to ease Ruan Xi's mood.
But obviously, this method is not very reliable.
"I think... Grandpa He is a little weird." Ruan Xi still hesitated to speak, not knowing how to describe his feelings. Finally, he simply told He Ziqian every word of the conversation between him and Grandpa He, and asked him to help judge it.
"Do you think what Grandpa He said was strange? His expression at that time also looked quite contradictory, as if he was struggling deeply in his heart, and he was unwilling to accept it... What was Grandpa He unwilling to accept? Unwilling that Isaac was kidnapped? Or unwilling that those pirates all died before they could get any useful information? Or..." Ruan Xi chattered on and on, listing all the possibilities he could think of, but after talking for a long time, he just couldn't give himself a definite answer.
"The Mr. He I know is not like this. He has never spoken like this in front of me." He Ziqian said this after a long silence. Ruan Xi couldn't help but sigh after hearing it.
"Could it be that he was stimulated by the news about the aliens? After all, so many people in the He family died at the hands of aliens..." Having said this, Ruan Xi paused and could no longer speak. He felt extremely uncomfortable.
He doesn't want war to happen again, but the reality is that things often go against one's wishes.
"Perhaps, it's pointless to dwell on these things right now. Let's focus on the present. Tell me about that greenhouse. What are your specific ideas? Do you have a plan in mind for how to proceed?"
Even though he had never asked and Ruan Xi had never said it on her own initiative, He Ziqian knew that Ruan Xi must have already made up his mind to make such a decision.
"Yes, there is a rule. I found that the properties of those plants can all influence each other. If they are arranged and combined in a certain way, they will form a specific... formation." Ruan Xi paused here. He always felt that the word "formation" was too ancient, and He Ziqian might not understand it easily.
Sure enough, confusion appeared on He Ziqian's face, but before Ruan Xi could change his words, he came up with a suitable alternative, "Is it a force field?"
"Yes, it's the force field! All disasters in the universe, or all natural phenomena, are caused by changes in the force field, and those plants, in the specific environment of the greenhouse, can form a special force field. But this force field does not appear all the time, but there are specific triggering conditions..." Ruan Xi was thinking and analyzing while telling He Ziqian. When his thoughts were not clear, he would stop and think, and then continue talking after he figured it out.
"And Isaac, none of us have found this specific triggering condition before. Therefore, the greenhouse remains a greenhouse, and the plants remain plants. There have been no drastic changes."
"That's right! That's it!" Ruan Xi was happy about the tacit understanding between himself and his lover, and clapped his hands a few times.
"Have you found the triggering conditions?" He Ziqian looked at Ruan Xi expectantly, and Ruan Xi did not disappoint him.
His lover never let him down.
"We won't know until we try it there." Before, Ruan Xi had used the roots extending from the big tree to water the plants with wood energy. When the plants matured, he could naturally transplant the plants into his own atlas space for cultivation and obtain new species with unlimited supply.
When using that method to infuse wood energy, Ruan Xi did not notice anything unusual, but when collecting samples, he did have a vague feeling. However, he was a little excited at the time and did not pay much attention. Thinking about it now, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. He should have tested it on the spot at that time. In that case, perhaps the series of events that followed would not have happened.
Of course, there might be such an accident, and what is supposed to happen will still happen, but the difference in the process will inevitably affect the result to a certain extent. No one can predict whether the impact is good or bad. Now that such an accident has not happened, it still leaves a little regret in Ruan Xi's heart.
"Do you want to use your mental power?" He Ziqian was very smart. He analyzed it himself without Ruan Xi saying anything. Ruan Xi immediately gave him a thumbs up without hesitation.
"Smart means using mental power. We have to go to the scene and try it to see how much stimulation those plants need to react." The more Ruan Xi analyzed, the more impatient he became.
Fortunately, the small spaceship was fast enough and reduced the original three-day journey by nearly half. On the afternoon of the next day, they arrived at the lair of the Dark Pirates. There were still imperial troops stationed there to prevent more pirates from settling in and forming a new threat.
Ruan Xi and He Ziqian directly drove the small spaceship and landed near the greenhouse. To be on the safe side, He Ziqian put the spaceship into the matching space button, and then the two of them entered the greenhouse.
The greenhouse was still the same as when they left. The troops stationed here, in strict accordance with the orders given when they left, did not allow anyone to enter the greenhouse.
Ruan Xi was unwilling to delay for a moment. After entering the greenhouse, he immediately connected the key points he had calculated, and finally drew a formation similar to a spider web... uh, a force field diagram.
As soon as the force field diagram was drawn, they immediately discovered that there was a plant growing at each key point. These plants had one common characteristic - they smelled bad. Moreover, the smell was divided into levels, and the smell increased step by step. The plant at the key point in the center was the smelliest plant.
Ruan Xi still looked unconscious, but the closer He Ziqian got, the paler his face became, especially when Ruan Xi began to use his wood-based ability to directly water the plants. The stench quickly escalated invisibly. Ruan Xi could not feel a thing, but He Ziqian was already having difficulty breathing because of the stench, and the cold sweat on his forehead was like rain.
Ruan Xi noticed something was wrong with He Ziqian and asked worriedly, "Ziqian, can you still hold on?"
Ruan Xi naturally knew that the reason why he was not affected by the stench was because he was a wood-type mutant. When he reached a certain level, his body would naturally accept and even assimilate the smell emitted by plants, so that his human senses would not be affected at all.
This function is indeed a bit amazing, but it is also a bit frustrating that it cannot help the people he loves.
But he was depressed for less than three seconds before he came up with a good idea. He used his wood-related ability to make a mask for He Ziqian, completely protecting his face.
"How is it? Can you still smell the stench now?" Ruan Xi asked happily, his eyes full of anticipation.
He Ziqian nodded in surprise, "I can't smell it anymore, Xiaoxi is really amazing."
He Ziqian's praise was sincere, and Ruan Xi also smiled sincerely. After solving the trouble on He Ziqian's side, Ruan Xi turned around and continued to focus on watering the shrub-type energy. This work lasted for a full two hours. Although Ruan Xi watered the shrub-type energy in a steady stream, it took a long time. In the end, Ruan Xi was so tired that his face turned slightly pale and his body was soaked with cold sweat.
He Ziqian wanted to stop her several times, but he held back every time. Only when Ruan Xi stopped did he step forward and pull her into his arms. "How is it? Any progress?"
"Not yet..." Ruan Xi felt a little exhausted, thinking to himself, if I keep watering like this, these plants will all reach maturity and then wither away. What's the point of setting up this formation? What kind of force field is this?
Just as they were thinking about it, they suddenly felt a slight vibration under their feet and immediately tensed their bodies in alertness.
"Get out first!" In order to ensure the safety of both of them, He Ziqian was about to take Ruan Xi out of the greenhouse, but at this moment, the ground under their feet suddenly softened into a texture like quicksand, and their feet immediately sank in, unable to pull themselves out no matter how hard they tried.
Ruan Xi glanced around and discovered that a new force field map had emerged on the spider web-like force field map. When the two force field maps were superimposed, the original spider web was directly upgraded to a vortex, and it was a mobile version. The two were being pulled down by the vortex.
Ruan Xi was a little confused and didn't know how to explain this situation. However, He Ziqian already had a guess in his mind and became very serious.
“It’s a black hole!”
"Black hole?"
Ruan Xi's knowledge of black holes was limited, but he remembered one thing - the existence of a black hole meant that one could travel through time or space. Anyway, one could enter another place instantly. This immediately made a few words emerge in his mind - the origin of the alien race.
"Did this succeed? Can this black hole lead us to the origin of the alien race?"
