Chapter 11: Another Portal

"The first search and rescue team moved out a lot of bodies." Rey said as he sat in a hovering chair in the captain's cabin of the Byron. Blake's face in front of him was magnified many times by the suspended light screen, but there were still no wrinkles to be seen. "yes, I called them over, and it was really overkill." Blackcla said in a long voice and with a blank face. Then, after a momentary change, he added, "I really think we should have been more ...... Kindness...... Be private. What does it mean when you get on the big screen in the captain's room? "It's okay, people don't have time to listen to us." Rey shrugged his shoulders and said with some nonchalance. "You've got water in your head." Blake threw such a sentence directly. He felt that Rey had done it too hastily - how could such a thing be said out loud casually. "This ......" Rey was a little embarrassed, because he wasn't actually paying attention to talking to Blake. He opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something but hesitating. "What?" Blake asked. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Rey.

"Actually, I'm using a Bluetooth headset to listen to the experimental meeting of the Byron Elf Laboratory." Rey gave a look of apologies and said, "The personal electronic board is undergoing daily accuracy testing. "Oh......" Blake said, frowning. Blake was a little angry, but didn't show it - it wasn't the first time Rey had done this. He's now on a video call with Rey, and he's bothering Rey, as Black feels every time he's in this situation. "Trust me, I've turned the volume to the minimum." Rey added. He leaned forward and looked at Blake. "......" Blake was silent for a moment, his expression stiff. I think I should wait a while before I call you. He said, his expression still stiff, "Are you free in an hour?" "After listening to the meeting, I'm going to the weapons lab. We are working on a new project. "It's about an hour and a half." ”

"Then I'll ......," Blake said immediately, but was interrupted by Rey. Then, I'm going to go to a library to see if there's any information about those experiments. Then I'm going back to the captain's room and get some of my daily work done. When it's time to rest, I'm going to direct an experiment in the elven lab. Rey continued, bending off a finger of his left hand every time he said something. Eight o'clock in the evening? Blake asked. He leaned back slightly, his face not looking so big on the floating screen. "Nine o'clock in the evening." Rey then said. He picked up the personal electronic board that was on his lap, looked at it, and put it back down. On the screen of the electronic board, two red ancient Hull long star numbers lit up—nine and six—meaning that ninety-six percent of the work had been completed. "Okay." Bligh replied. He knew that nine o'clock in the evening must have been the earliest time for Rey, so he didn't ask for it any earlier. "I'll hang up first." He said calmly, without any displeasure in his tone.

"You're hanging?" Rey laughed out loud and asked. He suddenly remembered what Blake had told him before, and he couldn't hold back for a moment, and said it. "......" Blake twitched the corners of his mouth, not saying anything more. He has a deep understanding of what it means to be "feng shui in turn". He twitched the corners of his mouth and hung up on his video call with Rey, without saying another word. Blake stood up and walked out of the captain's quarters. After making sure that the door to the captain's cabin was closed, he leaned back against the bulkhead and squinted, looking out through the window in the hallway outside the captain's room—there were many stars that glowed differently, but none of them were the ones he wanted to see. "Stupid." He whispered, opened the door, and re-entered the captain's room.

Meanwhile, Neuer was sitting at the metal table, staring intently at a white line on his electronic screen—he was slowly stretching it. Around the white line is also a part of a gear that extends to the edge of the picture - it is clear that he is not drawing graffiti. Neuer was drawing a blueprint for a machine, and in order to avoid a crooked drawing, he took out a pen from the drawer of the metal table - the pen was twelve centimeters long, thick at the top and thin at the bottom, completely transparent, and the inner part shimmered with a thin light blue band. He wasn't as skilled as Rey, and his phalanx was not the same as Rey's, so he resorted to other tools.

Neuer has been learning this for less than half a year, but with his talent and constant hard work - he basically does this except sleeping in his non-working hours - although he actually has no working hours at all, to a level that the average person can achieve in at least two years. Although the things he designed were pediatric in the eyes of the junior engineers of the ancient Helka Star, he still felt good about himself. Oddly enough, Neuer is designing a machine that looks the same as Black's head — the same as when he was wearing a helmet, of course. He said he was going to make a machine that could at least fight automatically, but no one except Neuer knew what he was going to do.

Nine and three minutes in the evening. "How did you arrange that?" Blake asked, trying not to make his tone look like he was questioning Rey. "I sent a transport ship, sent it back to Helka, buried it in the Helka Wasteland, and erected a metal monument." Rey replied, touching his forehead with his left hand. "Metal stele?" Blake frowned, then asked, "What's engraved?" Then he felt that it was rude for him to say this—although he was asking about the ancient Helkas, it was his old comrade-in-arms Rey who was talking to him in front of him. So, while Rey was still speaking, he said, "I mean...... What is the inscription? "The soul that sleeps in the sky is wandering in another world." Rey was silent for a moment, then replied.

"I don't want to accuse you......" Blake frowned, then said slowly, "there's something strange about the inscription you wrote. "Really?" Rey shrugged his shoulders and replied emotionlessly. It could be seen from his expression that he did not want to continue discussing the matter. Blake shrugged his shoulders and replied, "It's fine." "It's Rey's business, and it's not in his right place to comment too much." The energy tree's lab......" Blake said as he suddenly remembered something. "Of course it's not the time yet." Rey replied right away - he thought Blake wanted to put their own people on that crazy experiment right now. "I'm not talking about that experiment." Blake said immediately. "Oh?" Rey froze for a moment, then frowned. "Or what do you think I'm going to talk to you about?" Blake looked at Rey and said. He certainly wasn't so arrogant as to think they could take that experiment right now. What exactly does Rey think? Blake thought to himself, thinking that Rey was a little unfounded and cranky.

"I can't believe you knew about it so quickly." Rey frowned and smiled, then said, "Looks like you really went ask them." "Uh......," Blake said, frowning as well. He felt that Rey was not talking about the same thing as himself. "Search and Rescue Team 1 found that the lab had a second exit, and that exit was hidden behind a steel plate. After the exit is a straight corridor of about five hundred meters, and at the end of the corridor is another portal. Rey spread his palms and said, "My initial guess is that the portal might lead to another test base. But ......" Ray paused for a moment, and seeing that Blake had no other reaction, he continued: "We don't know exactly what is on the other side, and if you send someone over now, it will easily cause unnecessary losses. That's why I ordered the people of the first search and rescue team to hide the news from the outside world for the time being, but as long as you ask, they will still tell you. ”
