Chapter 32: Rey is busy

Ziyang, Rest Ship Area A, Lounge Room 001. Blake sat in a levitation chair, and on the metal table in front of him lay an open copy of the Cosmic Language: A Dictionary of the Ancient Helka Star. He pointed with his right index finger at a character on the side of the dictionary he was looking at, while his left index finger was tapping the table with an irregular and slow click, making a "click" and "click" sound. Instead of praying that Rey would settle the mess on his side sooner, it would be better to do something more meaningful than wait and do—Blake thinks. He looked up at the plain white horizontal cuboid electronic alarm clock that had been placed in the upper left corner of the metal table. "One hour, six minutes, and fifteen seconds." Blake said dryly, "Twenty-six seconds, twenty-seven seconds...... Blake is ticking: how long has passed since he hung up on the video call with Rey until he came out. "Rey is slow." Burink's eyes narrowed, and the emotion called "impatience" in his heart grew rapidly.

Although Blake was indeed angry, because Rey had not taken the initiative to deal with him for so long; But he also had to admit that Rey did look like he was busy. Blake remembers that he was busy when he had a video call with Rey three days ago, but not as busy as he had just been. Rey seems to be busy every day, and there are things to do every day. After a fierce battle of ideas, Blake decided to ask Rey what he was up to just now, then why he was so busy every day, then tell him about the anomaly of the pendants, and finally discuss with him what to do with the two pendants. "It's slow, it's too slow." Blake lowered his head again and flipped a page of the dictionary. "Get the source...... Ah, Nongyuan...... No. Blake began to grab his own hair with his hands, then ripped off a few of them. Farming...... No. Yes, yes...... Can it be far away...... Ahh

"That's why I'm reading it, and I can't read it, and I can't read it!" Since he was alone, Blake had a distorted expression that was difficult for outsiders to see. At the same time, he tore a few more strands of his hair off the machine. Actually, if you don't understand it, it's okay. It's just that Blake needs to take more time to understand what it means—and that's exactly what Blake finds difficult to accept. As for not reading well...... After dealing with the daily affairs of the Purple Sun, Blake immediately returned to his room and began to watch a short recording sent to him by Ray to practice the voice-activated switch voice in the break room. It wasn't until he went to bed that Blake managed to turn off the lights in the bathroom with a voice-activated switch.

"Captain Rey, Byron, request a video call. Captain Rey, Byron, requested a video call. Thankfully, Rey sent a request for a video call before Lake got his hair all over the floor. Interestingly, the various dialogue requests on the personal electronic board show the other party's official position instead of military rank, while the various dialogue requests in the captain's room of the major ships show the other party's military rank rather than official position. "......" Blake was stunned for a second, then immediately reached for the electronic board that was placed on the bed. I don't know if it was because he had been sitting for too long and had not moved or for some other reason, but Blake almost slipped off the floating chair. However, the good thing is that the "agree" button was pressed before the call request ended.

"Good evening, Blake." Rey's upper body appeared on the electronic screen, "Did you just ask me for something?" Judging by the background behind him, he should have returned to his lounge. It's just that he hasn't even taken off his coat yet, and obviously he has just returned and hasn't gathered much. Blake stared at his face for a moment, and felt that the word "emaciated" was not enough to describe him. "Uh...... Are you sure it's 'Zecai'? Then, Blake said. I'm really sorry, something went wrong with me here, and it was a bit of a hassle to deal with. Rey smiled, but laughing more ugly than crying. What the hell is going on? Blake asked the question he wanted to ask, "You look bad." "Oh, it's the energy that Younas has left." Rey seemed glad to hear him talk about these things, and he felt a little more energetic. "Helka not cleaned up?" Blake didn't think it was a mistake that Helka would make.

"Those energies are cunning." Rey touched his forehead with his hand and explained, "Hiding in the energy transport pipe in the bathroom." "So, there's a big section of energy transport pipe that's rotten?" Blake gave a somewhat disgusted expression. Younas's shadow energy is highly corrosive—Blake knows that all too well. "If only that were the case." Rey said in a tone of helplessness. "The whole break room is rotten?" Blake himself felt that this was unlikely. "Isn't that lounge occupied?" He then asked. "Younas's energy first adheres diffusely to the inner wall of the energy transportation pipeline, absorbing and transforming a little energy every day. Since that energy is not much, it is easy for the system to dismiss it as normal loss. Rey folded his hands over his shoulders and explained, "Otherwise, we wouldn't have waited until the energy was doing harm today!"

"Those energies are very shrewd." Rey said with a smile, his tone was a little more helpless, "You can absorb the transformed energy in a minute, and they have been used for more than a week!" Although the technology of the ancient Helka Star was advanced, it was not yet sensitive to that extent. As Blake listened, he felt that it was not so much Rey explaining to him what had happened today, but rather Rey complaining to him about what had happened today. Does Rey complain to others too? It's a rare thing. Booker thought. So, he continued, "So did that energy condense into a big mass and run around in the pipes today, or did something else?" "Our people had already been alerted by the system when they corroded a section of the energy transport pipeline, but by the time we sent the personnel arrived, the big damage had already occurred." Rey bit his lip, as if to make himself look normal, "The Byron's alien energy defense mechanism doesn't seem to have a problem with Younas's energy, and the death of the previous people probably has a lot to do with this." ”

While Rey didn't say who the "people before it" were, Black knew he was referring to the ancient Helka people who fled their home planet on the Byron. "Uh......," Blake said, thoughtfully. He felt that for Rey, the "Ancient Helkas" was a sensitive topic. So, he didn't say much, but waited for Rey to tell him what happened next. Everyone had things they didn't want to be mentioned, and since Rey didn't ask anything similar to what the Evil Order did on Grace to learn about the weaknesses of the Evil Order, Black didn't think he was in a special situation and didn't take the initiative to ask about the ancient Helka people. This can be regarded as a fairness in Blake's heart.

"We had to pull down all the emergency closure gates in that area and send people deep into it. It's a pity that I won't fix it, otherwise I would definitely go in on my own. At this, Rey put on an angry expression and kept tapping his left hand on the top of the metal table. Most of them are still newbies. During the emergency repair, two people were corroded by energy due to improper operation and tearing protective clothing. And, due to the peculiarity of Younas's energy, we didn't use the energy harvester on the Byron to clear those energies, but used the light energy of the light elves to completely remove those dark energies. Rey suddenly realized that he was talking more and more, and that he was talking very long-winded, so he paused slightly, intending to adjust his state of mind. At this time, he suddenly felt a little hot.

"I remember that those ancient helka star protective suits didn't support the elves to release their energy in them." Blake lifted the corners of his mouth to reveal a strange expression. "Don't tell me they built their own energy shield." Blake stared at Rey and continued, "Of course, I have an even worse guess that they are trying to collect Younas's energy while maintaining the energy shield. Taking advantage of Blake's time to live, Rey took off his coat and placed it on the metal table. Then he unbuttoned the left cuff of his shirt.
