Chapter 84 Chapter 84

Ruan Shiqing, who was extremely excited, 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 layer of red. His black eyes were extremely bright and he seemed to be glowing.

Rong Heng looked at him sideways, the redness at 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 each other, as if a certain void was filled, and the whole person was wrapped in warmth and joy.

The feeling was so wonderful, as if tiny electric currents were climbing up from the soles of his feet, making his mouth dry and his heart palpitate.

Rong Heng moved uncomfortably, turned his head, increased his speed, and approached the wormhole.

The closer you get to the wormhole, the greater the fluctuations in the data on the detector.

It wasn't until the shuttle approached the wormhole entrance that the fluctuations inside reached their maximum value.

Ruan Shiqing quickly analyzed the recorded data: "When we first passed this wormhole, I was sure there was no fluctuation near it. Now there is suddenly such a big fluctuation, it seems that the other side of the wormhole has changed."

"Do you want to go in and take a look?" Rong Heng asked.

"Will it be too dangerous?" Ruan Shiqing hesitated.

If he were alone, he would go in without hesitation, but with Mr. Rong around, he was worried that he would put the other person 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 party's worried gaze, he couldn't help but want to show his better side.

"I can protect you."

Although the half-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 what he meant, but in the end he did not explain. After thinking for a moment, he decided to go in and take a look.

If the phenomenon they encountered this time was just a coincidence, then if they wait until they are fully prepared to come again, they will most likely miss this opportunity.

He was reluctant to give up.

After getting his consent, Rong Heng reminded him to sit still, then quickened his pace 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 dial showing progress, time would have seemed to have stopped in the pitch-black darkness.

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 steadily in the driver's seat.

The voyage in the wormhole was very boring, so he could only turn his attention to Ruan Shiqing.

The other party had his eyes downcast, analyzing the data carefully, with his black hair hanging down on the sides of his face. The light from above cast light and dark shadows on his face, making his facial features look more profound and three-dimensional, and making him look more mature and sharp than usual.

When he is working, he is always very focused.

There is a kind of charm that is completely different from usual.

Rong Heng moved his hand on the console, and his fingertips felt a little itchy. If he wasn't afraid of disturbing Ruan Shiqing's work, he would have wanted to use his fingertips to carefully trace his profile and remember this scene firmly in his mind.

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 caught his eye.

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 different.

"What's wrong?"

Rong Heng looked away uncomfortably, his Adam's apple hidden by his collar moving as he made random 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 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?"

Even though he's wearing a mask, familiar people can recognize him at a glance.

When he first saw the video, he was a little surprised and surprised. He didn't expect that Mr. Rong, who looked very serious, would do such a "deviant" thing. But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this was the best way to do it.

It can not only disclose the bad things done by the Skylanders and arouse public vigilance, but also conceal one's own identity very well.

Mr. Rong and his men are military personnel after all, so they will be more or less cautious in their actions. However, if they were to take on the identities of interstellar pirates, they would face fewer obstacles when doing things.

Unexpectedly, he also saw the video. Rong Heng's face froze, and he said "hmm" after a long while.

Wearing a mask, he did not look tall and handsome at all. His Royal Highness said sullenly, "This was all Mellaire's idea."

If he had known that Ruan Shiqing would also see 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 Star Sijialan. You must be in a difficult situation as well, right?"

Otherwise, he wouldn't have deliberately hidden his identity and exposed the news on the Internet. 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: "Will the Empire really 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."

"Will you join the war, too?"

Rong Heng shook his head: "Frontline soldiers will only kill Zerg, they won't point their guns at their own people."

Regardless of whether Si Yan started a civil war or not, Yenjis would defend the southeastern defense line.

Ruan Shiqing sighed: "But once the battle begins, none of us can stay out of it."

This is why he was so excited after discovering antimatter. In such a chaotic country, only strong military force can protect itself.

Once the war begins, 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 won't let this war burn for too long."

"Um."

Ruan Shiqing responded lightly. In fact, he did not have a deep sense of belonging to the Galaxy Empire. Both the backward feudal monarchy and the widespread racial discrimination made him feel uncomfortable.

But Star B3024, Mr. Rong, and Dareth all made him still have a glimmer of hope for this world.

This world is not completely dark. There are also beautiful flashes of fire 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 originally pitch-black window.

Rong Heng also calmed down and drove faster towards the light.

As they got closer, the vague light source became clearer. Looking at the star field in front of them where explosions continued, both of them showed surprised expressions.

——It was an extremely dense star field, shaped like a flying saucer, with gorgeous nebulae surrounding countless planets of various sizes. These planets orbited each other and moved in their own orbits, as if they were firmly held 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 star dust and dispersed, but most of them remained 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 the small amount of stardust dissipates in all directions.

Ruan Shiqing stared at the data sent back by the detector, his voice trembling slightly: "These explosions are caused by annihilation reactions."

His eyes glowed with burning light, and he almost stuck to the window: "That star field is likely to be a whole source of antimatter."

An antimatter source, as the name suggests, is a collection of antimatter.

In his original world, there is a theory that matter and antimatter are opposite to each other. Since there is a world made of matter, there must be a world made of antimatter. However, in the world they exist, matter and antimatter are not equal, otherwise this world would have already produced a big bang 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 that they have not yet explored.

The trace amounts of antimatter they captured from the universe escaped from antimatter sources.

However, this theory has never been confirmed - because no one has ever found a source of antimatter.

Ruan Shiqing clenched his hands on the window and kept breathing in and out, trying to calm himself down. He turned to Rong Heng and said, "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 keep the antimatter condensed 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 hastily produced 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 was very persistent, his face full of excitement: "I want to go by myself."

For him, this was a historic moment.

An unprecedented discovery, he wanted to do it himself.

"It's much 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 a huge airflow. These 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 do the next best thing and said: "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. There was disapproval in the dark golden eyes, but he still took a step back under his insistence.

Ruan Shiqing was not a person who didn't know what was good for him. 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 the driving rights to Noah.

The two men put on space suits, which were connected around their waists with an ultra-light chain made of worm metal.

Ruan Shiqing held the container in one hand and held his hand with the other: "Let's go."

The rear hatch slowly opened, and Rong Heng held his hand and drifted out of the hatch.

His movements were very skillful, and he controlled his direction and forward motion using small thrusters mounted on his limbs.

Ruan Shiqing was led by him, and he moved forward in a rather wolfish manner. Only then did he realize that his courage was a bit reckless. He had not received any professional training, and if he went out alone, he would probably have to trouble Mr. Rong to pick him up.

His cheeks felt hot, and he felt a little envious as he looked at Mr. Rong who was leading him 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 in waves, like huge waves in the sea, pushing people outward continuously. If you are not careful, you may be drowned 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 this, 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.
