Chapter 5: The Chamber of Secrets

Pano System, USS Byron, Captain's Quarters. "Why did you suddenly call the first search and rescue team......" Rey muttered to himself as he sat on a suspension chair, crossed his legs, and held his chin with his hand. Captain Rey, as the captain of a boat, asks that you keep an eye on your sitting posture at all times. After a while, Polax, who was sitting on the sidelines, couldn't stand it anymore. So, she reminded aloud. "Huh?" Rey was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood what Borax meant, "Oh. "Polax, why did you suddenly call the first search and rescue team?" After a few more minutes, Rey asked. "Captain Black must have a point...... Pollax replied uncertainly. To be honest, she and Blake weren't familiar with each other.

"Polax, inform the Ziyang to open the main escape pod emergency hatch immediately." Rey said with a frown. "Would you like to go straight over?" Pollax opened his mouth, a little surprised, "Wouldn't you just contact the people on the Ziyang for this kind of thing?" "I have a very bad feeling that it's definitely a big deal." "In my absence, this place will be left to Lista." "Oh......" Lista stroked his short white hair, pale pink eyes staring at the screen, which was scrolling through the data. Lista was the vice-captain of the USS Byron with the rank of lieutenant general. "Hey...... Did you hear that? Rey twitched the corners of his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment. Yes, yes, Acting Captain, I hear you. Lista looked at Rey and said, "You can go without worry!" ”

"I don't even feel at ease to hear you say that......" Borax rolled his eyes at Lista and muttered under his breath. What did you say?! "Elista's ability to hear Borax clearly is not a problem." Syllable! He slapped his hand, and the keyboard in front of him fell apart in an instant. When will you take off your stupid mechanical armor? "I think this is the third keyboard you've broken this month!" "Although she is a female elf, Borax is not a cute little sister next door." It's ......" Pollax is telling the truth, and Lista is not easy to refute. After all, it's true that the keyboard broke for his personal reasons.

"Anyway, there's no way I'm going to take it off." Lista squeezed out a sentence like toothpaste. "Not necessarily." Bolax clasped his hands over his shoulders, "You must wait until Captain Rey thinks you're using too many bad keyboards and gives you the order to take off this kind of armor that is not suitable for indoor wear!" "Not really!" Lista immediately retorted. Although they are now formed as an interstellar joint force, they are not a regular army that has been specially trained in a centralized manner. There are many other things that they need to slowly improve and improve in the future.

"Hey...... You ......" Rey put his hand on his forehead, listening to the two of them bickering very helplessly. I remember this was your fourth bickering this month. He thought to himself. Of course, there was no way Rey would have said such a thing. "Uh......" "Ah......hh As a result, they began to feel very embarrassed. "I'm on the Purple Sun." As he spoke, Rey had already reached the door of the captain's quarters—he was not going to let them continue to be embarrassed. "Yes, Captain." This time they replied in unison. After Rey left, Lista sat down on Rey's hoverchair and exclaimed, "Captain Rey has such a good perspective!" "Concentrate on your work!" Pollax gave him another big white eye.

Pano system, unknown planet, unknown location. It was pitch black ahead, and Blake wasn't sure what kind of space he was in right now. With the light coming from the silver-white light curtain behind him, Blake glanced around the light curtain to understand the situation. It's good not to look at it, but even Blake, who has always been known for his prudence and calmness, became shocked. "Ahh He exclaimed, and let out a very "Gaia" cry, as if a spirit had been trampled on in public. In a moment of panic, he took a step backwards, and when he was unsteady, he fell backwards. "Smack!" He stumbled into the curtain of light and sat down in a tunnel of blue ribbons. "Whew...... ......He gasped for breath and finally calmed down.

"Those ......," Blake said in a strange tone, his hand tugging at the clothes on his chest—five degrees higher than his usual voice. What he had just seen were corpses, a lot of corpses. He met the eye of one of the corpses—the pale eyes that had long since lost their pupils, like two pale tunnels, with a terrifying attraction. As a result, Blake was taken aback. Now, he felt that he had calmed down a little, and began to recall and think about what he had just seen. It was a mountain of corpses with strange expressions and distorted expressions. They must be trying to escape from there, and the way out of there is supposed to be this tunnel. Blake thought. But the tunnels were closed, where were they abandoned. Why, though? Blake pondered these questions.

He suddenly thought of the clothes on them. As far as he can remember, it was the ancient Helka Star Lab Suit. And the only people who can wear that kind of lab coat are the scientists of the ancient Helka Star Central Laboratory! "Boom! Boom! Boom! ......" Blake noticed that his heart was beating louder and faster. If that group of people was really the scientists of the Ancient Helka Star Central Laboratory, then they must be studying something there. The light curtain should be a corridor outside, and if nothing else, it should be the only way to the lab. Blake proceeded with his reasoning based on what he had read. So, what must have stopped the experiment, and the ancient Helka government ordered the lab to be cut off from the outside world. What exactly is that experiment?

What kind of experiment could force the ancient Helka government to abandon all the scientists involved in the experiment and bury everything about the experiment? Did this happen before or after the Ziyang was built? What exactly are they studying? Blake wanted to figure it out, so he began to refine his questions in his head. But he found that the more he thought about it, the more nervous he became. Is it a virus? Or genetic engineering? Blake suddenly had some terrible thoughts. If it was something that the scientists of the ancient Helka Star Central Laboratory couldn't control, then he was ...... now

"Drop! Drip! Drip! At the sound of this, Blake almost jumped. It took him a few seconds before he realized it was the sound of his ball of communication energy. He gasped and injected the energy ball with energy. "Blake," Rey said in the communication orb, "How's your situation now?" "Anyway, you come first!" Rey noticed that Blake's voice was a little unusual. So, he took the communication energy ball to Angela, the captain of the first search and rescue team, and said to her, "Take this and keep in touch at all times." I'm going to Black now, and if there's anything going on, I'm going to shoot my weapon into the passage. The latter gave him a military salute and touched the blue-green hair with the fingers of his right hand.

"I went." Rey turned around and looked at the pale blue door of light. "Ah......h The impression of that door was really not very good, and he always felt that there was something strange but very important buried in it. Is...... He thought as he opened his eyes. He shrugged his shoulders as he looked at the flowing band of light blue light that shimmered beside him. "Blake should really make three communication energy balls." He grumbled as he walked forward.

Supplement: Searchlight, is a device, with a powerful light source and a concave mirror that can concentrate the light in a specific direction, for long-distance lighting and search purposes, with the help of a mirror or lens to concentrate the beam in a small solid angle (generally less than 2 degrees of tools) to obtain a large light intensity.
