The next day, the four of them left Yunlai Manor early in the morning and headed to Luns's laboratory.
After what happened last night, Qiao You realized that her brother was not as strong as he appeared and that she also relied on him. While chatting with Su Xia, she would occasionally glance at Helian Jue, smile at him, and sometimes hold his hand.
Helian Jue was beaming with pride and radiant with joy!
Luns's experiment was located within the expeditionary force's base. It was Qiao You's first time here, and he was full of curiosity.
Before long, Helian Jue managed to coax the person away by explaining something.
The black metal wall was tightly covered by a transparent protective shield, completely isolating it from the outside world.
As soon as Qiao You stepped through the gate, he discovered that the outside was completely different from the inside.
The weather on the capital planet is excellent today, with a clear blue sky and not a cloud in sight. However, once you step through the base gate, it becomes gloomy and windy inside.
Helian Jue explained in a timely manner: "The base is mostly exposed to extreme weather, which can better help with training and prevent some emergencies."
Qiao You was filled with respect, "They really work hard!"
Lens, who received the news last night, was waiting at the door early.
"Greetings, Your Highness, Your Highness!" Luns bowed to Helian Jue.
Helian Jue slightly raised his hand. "Let's go."
Luns took two steps ahead, while Helian Jue, with an extremely possessive expression, put his arm around Helian Jue's waist, as if to say, "This is my wife."
"Take the main road," Helian Jue instructed Luns.
Lens glanced back and met Helian Jue's gaze. Alright! He knew it; his boss, the Crown Prince of the Empire, was about to show off.
Instead of taking the nearby and undisturbed side road, they insist on taking the main road, which is a huge loop around the entire base.
"Yes!" Lens understood immediately and did not ask any further questions, carrying out the instructions.
Su Yinchen protested, "It's not like we're going this way..."
"Old Su, come here, come here." Lens interrupted this outrageous remark in time.
Lens hooked his arm around Su Yinchen's neck. "Shut up from now on and don't make a sound."
“For…” Su Yinchen sobbed.
Lens made his intentions clear: "His Highness wants to show everyone that he has a wife!"
"Are you determined to sabotage me?"
Su Yinchen understood, she understood completely!
"Thanks, bro!"
Lens was relieved; he wasn't completely hopeless.
So, Helian Jue put his arm around Qiao You and led him through the entire base from the main road, then circled around halfway before heading towards the experiment.
The expeditionary force was Helian Jue's direct army, and everyone knew Helian Jue.
Everyone who encounters Helian Jue on the road, regardless of their rank, must stop and greet him.
This round trip took quite a bit of time.
After Helian Jue and the others entered the laboratory, the news that His Highness the Crown Prince had a wife quickly spread throughout the entire base.
Some daring individuals even secretly took photos of people's backs, and then made a fortune from those photos.
Qiao You was completely unaware of the situation and thought that Helian Jue wanted to take this opportunity to make a thorough inspection.
"Are you tired?" Helian Jue asked in a low voice.
Qiao You obediently shook his head.
Lens's laboratory is extremely important. It contains many new weapons that are in development or have already been completed. It is also the birthplace of the most advanced weapons in the entire empire.
To enter this place, one must undergo strict security checks, including those conducted by Helian Jue.
Things like optical computers and smartwatches must be included in the system. During the time spent in the laboratory, any function used through the optical computer will be monitored.
Qiao You was amazed. Could it be monitored simply by touching a small green dot with the computer?
After going through multiple security checks, the group finally arrived.
"The purple energy stone that Su Yinchen took from me came from Star Gil."
"But it's not simply a purple energy stone from the planet Gil."
As Lens explained, he opened the display case behind him, “That energy stone was assimilated by the whale fall.”
"Whale Fall is the special energy stone that His Highness discovered." Lence, worried that everyone might have forgotten the name, thoughtfully reminded them, "When Whale Fall energy stones were first sent to the laboratory, Cui Jing and I studied the structure of their internal energy together."
"It has been discovered that whale falls have a certain regenerative capacity."
"In the interstellar era, energy resources on various mineral-producing planets are limited, and these energy stones are indispensable to support technological development."
"Therefore, the use of whale fall is handled with extreme caution."
Lens took out the ore that was unique from the other purple energy stones from the display stand behind him. "This is an experiment I'm currently conducting. I'm putting whale fall together with other energy stones, and as long as it's been more than 24 hours..."
"These purple energy stones will become more transparent, and the energy molecules inside will be more active than those in other similar energy stones."
Lens's almond-shaped eyes gleamed brightly. "I'll call it the Awakening Function."
After finding out the origin of the energy stone, Helian Jue fell into thought.
Should the fact that merfolk can transform into human form be made public?
