Chapter 306: Year Pile

Chapter 306: Millennium Pile

Lin Xian stood up from his squatting position and looked at Chu Anqing, who was a head shorter than him:
"Are you okay?"

Chu Anqing nodded, then shook her head:
“I’m sorry… I didn’t catch the space-time particle just now. I should have been able to catch it, but when I was halfway through my jump, I was caught by the fixed rope. Not only did I fail to jump up, but I was also pulled crooked.”

"So the space-time particle just brushed past the outer shell of the rice cooker, penetrated my palm, and then flashed away."

……

Lin Xian narrowed his eyes.

Capture the message in Chu Anqing's words.

The reason why Chu Anqing reacted so strongly just now, screaming, nosebleed, dazed eyes, and whole body shaking, was because her body touched the space-time particles.

Lin Xian had not thought of this just now.

But now, except Chu Anqing, no one can see the space-time particles, and no one knows whether she has caught it or not.

But anyway, the rice cooker-like space-time particle catcher fell from the sky. Right under his nose, it hit the outer shell of the aerospace plane and then rolled down under the clouds.

From this point of view, just as Liu Feng worried, human body will still cause some harm when it comes into contact with space-time particles. At least, it is not as silent and gentle as inanimate objects.

only……

Lin Xian held his chin, recalling how Chu Anqing had cried like crazy just now, and then looked at Huang Que with pleading eyes, but after getting a positive answer, he burst into tears in complete despair.

What caused such a great stir in her emotions?

What was it that caused her desperate and pleading desire to be answered in the negative?

What happened that made her finally calm down and tell herself about the agreement on the note?
"Senior Lin Xian."

Chu Anqing's emotions have now completely stabilized.

She raised her pretty but slightly muddy face and looked at Lin Xian:

"Didn't we agree on this at the beginning? Although I'm not as smart as you, as your good friend, I will definitely find a way for you."

"And now, I finally thought of the answer! Please believe me, Senior Lin Xian, I know what to write on the note!"

She turned her head.

Looking out the window of the equipment cabin, the space-time particles are still flickering and jumping strangely, going up and down, and continuing to move forward along the original route and at the original speed:

"Hurry up, Senior Lin Xian. We don't have much time... anymore!"

The yellow bird let out a breath and opened its eyes.

Turning his head, he looked at Gao Yang:

"Gao Yang, go to the sealed briefcase and get a piece of paper and a pen for An Qing."

For safety reasons in the space plane, especially to prevent sharp objects from flying around in the weightlessness, less necessary items such as pens and paper are locked in briefcases and fixed to the cabin wall to prevent them from falling.

Gao Yang, who looked confused, also understood that the situation was extremely complicated and urgent.

So he didn't complain like he did before, and quickly ran to the briefcase next to the operating table.

Quickly open the briefcase lock.

Take out an A4 white paper and a space-specific writing pen from it.

Quickly delivered it to Chu Anqing.

Driver Wei Cheng's anxious reports continued to be heard on the radio communication channel:
"The altitude of the aerospace plane has dropped below 39000 meters! 38000 meters... meters... Commander Huang! Please give me the next instructions!"

Urgent situation.

The capture of space-time particles is already in jeopardy, and the last chance is about to be missed.

Therefore, Chu Anqing did not delay at all.

After taking the paper and pen from Gao Yang, she rushed directly to the empty corner of the equipment cabin.

That is, below the stairs leading to the robotic arm cabin above.

No one can see there, and there are no cameras. It is a blind spot for all vision.

She crouched down and crawled under the steel steps, turned her back to everyone, and knelt on the ground.

hiss-

She tore off a piece of paper the size of a bank card from the A4 white paper, placed it on the ground, and picked up a pen with her right hand wearing a space suit glove.

rustling...

There was a faint sound of paper and pen rubbing against each other as Chu Anqing quickly wrote two lines on a small piece of paper.

Then fold it up.

Fold it twice and press the crease tightly to ensure that the small piece of paper will not unfold, bounce, or the writing inside will not appear.

Then he got up from the ground and walked in front of Lin Xian.

Her expression was somewhat moved.

His eyes flickered a little.

But he still bit his lower lip and swallowed many words.

He raised his head and looked into Lin Xian's eyes:
"Senior Lin Xian, this is for you."

She pinched the folded note between two fingers of her right hand and handed it solemnly to Lin Xian.

The light note seemed as heavy as the turn of the century:

"【Let's go over there and see...】"

Chu Anqing and Lin Xian looked at each other and said softly:
"【You will understand.】"

……

Lin Xian took the small note.

Pinch at fingertips.

It was so light that through the thick space suit gloves, it seemed weightless and unreal.

But inexplicable.

Lin Xian felt again that this small piece of paper, which was only the size of a thumb when folded, was... so heavy.

This is the heaviness of a 600-year time span.

It is the heaviness that supports the reality and illusion of the entire world.

He nodded.

His eyes moved from the small note back to Chu Anqing's face:
"Okay, I promise you."

With his left hand, he unzipped the orange space suit's chest.

Those are the only two private pockets on this space suit, provided for astronauts to carry personal belongings.

Generally, many people will put some photos, notebooks, or amulets, decorations, souvenirs, etc. in it. It is the astronaut's personal freedom.

After unzipping.

Lin Xian put the light yet heavy piece of paper into his pocket.

According to the previously envisioned plan.

I must never know the contents of this small note, and in the current time and space, no one else except Chu Anqing is allowed to know it.

Because there is no wall that is impenetrable. Once outsiders know something, you will know it one day and under certain circumstances.

Don't trust anyone who claims to keep secrets; this is a real-world verification program that must be foolproof.

The key is not to be afraid of others or enemies seeing it in advance or knowing the contents of the note.

The real key lies in yourself.

I must ensure that I have no idea what is on this note before I see it in the dream world.

And when I opened the hafnium alloy safe in my dream and saw the contents of the small note...

You will immediately have an epiphany.

Understand everything instantly.

Suddenly realize the reality and falsehood of the dream world.

This was a double-blind trial.

I don't know what the note says, and the enemy doesn't know what the note means to him.

This is a game that spans time and space, and transcends reality and illusion.

Victory or defeat.

The truth will only be revealed in the dream world 600 years later, the moment you see the contents of the note!

squeak-

After putting the small note in place, Lin Xian pinched the zipper with his right hand and slid it, officially sealing the small note.

"The altitude of the space plane! 36000 meters in the atmosphere!!"

The driver Wei Cheng's voice came from the radio communication channel:

"An Qing! Please pay attention to the position of the space-time particles and tell me whether they are yawed or whether the direction and speed need to be adjusted!"

Chu Anqing immediately looked out the porthole of the equipment cabin.

It seems.

Coach Wei Cheng’s driving skills are indeed top-notch.

Without any navigation, goal or guidance, he persisted for so long and never lost the space-time particles.

Right now, outside the porthole, you can see the sun rising from the end of the earth.

This is due to their height.

In fact, it is still dark on the earth below.

Chu Anqing blinked.

Even in such bright sunlight, the faint blue flickering electric ball and space-time particles are still so strangely dazzling.

No one else can see it.

But she saw it clearly.

Turning back, Chu Anqing glanced at everyone:
"Let's continue capturing space-time particles."

"Huh? You're still going!" Gao Yang jumped up:

"You really can't go, big sister! What did you look like just now? Your face was covered in blood! How dare you go? Are you trying to save your life?"

"Besides...besides, we all saw clearly just now that the rice cooker, that is, the space-time particle catcher, has fallen down! Without the catcher, how can we catch the space-time particles!"

"You can't really try to catch space-time particles with your hands like you catch dragonflies and butterflies, right? That's nonsense! Liu Feng has already said that space-time particles have no substance and will pass through anything they touch, unless it's only the one inside the rice cooker..."

Talking and talking.

Gao Yang was stunned.

He turned his head and looked at the robotic arm operating table where he had been sitting.

Only then did he react.

Space-time particle trap...

There are two in total!

It is true that one of them has fallen.

However, there is another one installed on the top of the robotic arm! All functions are intact!

"But your body..." Gao Yang looked down at Chu Anqing.

He admitted that he was truly moved by the bravery and fearlessness of such a petite girl.

He didn't have much contact with Chu Anqing.

The first time we met was at the celebration party of MX Company.

At that time, he was only busy eating lobster and didn't pay much attention to Chu Anqing. Besides, Lin Xian and Chu Anqing were not that familiar with each other at that time, and it was also their first meeting. Gao Yang quickly forgot about this encounter.

The second real meeting was at Ji Lin's birthday party, where Chu Anqing also asked him about any female high school classmates or girls he had known before who looked similar to her.

Then we played guessing games and board games together.

The impression Chu Anqing gave him was always that of a simple, cute little princess from a wealthy family.

He has a really nice personality and is easy to get along with.

During the training at the astronaut training base some time ago, Chu Anqing also showed amazing astronaut talent, which also made him look at him with admiration.

But at the end of the day.

That's all.

In Gao Yang's eyes, she was still just a sophomore in college, carefree, kind and simple little girl, and her essence had not changed at all.

But now...

"It's okay, Senior Gao Yang."

Chu Anqing looked at him and smiled:

"Look at me now, I'm fine, right? That means the space-time particle doesn't do any real harm to the human body. And I feel like it only hurt me that one time. If I accidentally touch it next time, I shouldn't be in any danger."

Lin Xian looked at Chu Anqing and thought for a few seconds.

Looking at her current condition, there is indeed no problem. She is no different from before and has fully recovered.

Wei Cheng has just reported that the altitude of the aerospace plane has dropped to 36000 meters.

This……

I'm afraid this is my last chance.

"Then let's try again."

Lin Xian pointed to the closed hatch of the robotic arm cabin above:
"Let's open the inner cabin door first and take down the rice cooker. Then Chu Anqing and I will go up again. Just like the previous plan, I will support Anqing from behind and let her hold the rice cooker and try to capture it again."

"No, it won't work from above." Chu Anqing shook her head:
"You can't see the space-time particles, so you don't know the specific circumstances of the capture just now. In fact, I almost caught the space-time particles with the rice cooker several times. Really... I was almost there several times, but the last time I accidentally let it touch my palm, so the emergency just now happened."

She raised her head:

"I don't know how to describe that feeling. It's just... Although I have no prediction about the trajectory of the space-time particles, I always have an intuition, or a sixth sense. I have a strong premonition that the space-time particles are about to flash to that position next."

"At first I thought it was just a fluke, or a coincidence. But as it jumped and flashed more and more times, I found that I could indeed predict its trajectory! Indeed, its flashing and jumping were completely irregular, but I could guess it every time! Every time! There was never a single mistake!"

After hearing this, Gao Yang turned to look out the porthole in disbelief.

of course……

He saw nothing.

He recalled that when he used a robotic arm to capture space-time particles, he also tried to predict the trajectory of the flashing space-time particles. However, except for one occasion when he was lucky, all the other predictions were actually blind guesses and none of them were successful.

"Since you can accurately predict the trajectory every time and know where the space-time particles will flash to, then it should be very easy to capture them!"

Gao Yang sighed:

"If I had your ability, I would have caught the space-time particles in just two or three rounds!"

Bang, bang, bang, he patted the operating table of the robotic arm:

"If this thing is operated properly, it is very flexible and precise. Compared to you standing in that small hole on top of the aerospace plane, holding the rice cooker and jumping to catch it, this robotic arm is ten thousand times more useful!"

"Yes."

Chu Anqing nodded:

"It is because of the problem of [Flexibility] that I said that we can no longer go to the robot arm cabin up there and capture space-time particles like before."

She pointed to the untied safety ropes on her body and the stabilizing locks on the inner bulkhead:
"It is true that these safety ropes can stabilize my posture and ensure my safety from falling. But at the same time, they also greatly restrict my flexibility."

"As long as these things are holding me back, I can't run or jump. Holding the rice cooker is like waiting for a rabbit to come to me. It's too inflexible. I almost caught the space-time particles several times, but this is the reason. I can't jump! I can't run!"

"Just like the last time, if I hadn't been tied up by the rope and had been allowed to jump up intact, I would have caught the space-time particle long ago! Similarly, the space in the robotic arm cabin up there is still too small. With two people standing there and the robotic arm curled up and folded, there is no room to run. The opportunities to capture space-time particles are too rare. Many times, I can't even get one even after waiting for half a day."

"so……"

Chu Anqing raised her head and looked around at everyone:
"I need a platform that allows me to run and jump freely... at least within a certain range. This way it will be much easier for me to capture space-time particles."

……

Listening to Chu Anqing's words.

The crowd was speechless.

This is the truth, and everyone can understand it.

But where is the platform with such stringent requirements on this aerospace plane?

Even if Chu Anqing was allowed to walk freely on the top of the aerospace plane without a safety rope or buckling.

But the top of the aerospace plane is not flat, it is an arc.

Now they are at an altitude of more than 30,000 meters, the temperature outside is nearly minus 100 degrees Celsius, and many places on the outer shell of the aerospace plane have been frozen.

Therefore, standing on the space plane is simply not realistic.

Even an acrobat would not be able to stand on that arc-shaped roof; there is no fulcrum at all, and the aircraft would slide down if the user turned around slightly.

"If it doesn't work, give up the plan."

In the radio communicator, Wei Cheng said:
"An Qing, the flat platform you need is not available on the space plane, or even on any spacecraft. Of course, I know that if there is such a thing, it will be very suitable for you to capture space-time particles."

"But the conditions do not allow it now. There is no platform on the space plane that allows you to run and jump freely. Commander Huang, I suggest that we terminate this capture operation now and prepare to return."

"No, there is! There is such a platform!"

Chu Anqing's eyes were firm as she pointed out the window at the wide and horizontal wing of the aerospace plane:
"Isn't the wing of the space plane a good flat platform?"

"[Please let me stand on the wing and use the last rice cooker to capture space-time particles!]"

……

The words are not surprising and die endlessly.

Chu Anqing's words shocked and silenced everyone!

"crazy!"

In the radio communicator, Wei Cheng gritted his teeth:
"You kids are really crazy! This is complete nonsense! Have you watched too many Hollywood movies?!"

It can be seen that Wei Cheng is very angry.

This calm and gentle elder brother is now almost on the verge of cursing.

"This is impossible!"

Gao Yang couldn't sit still any longer, and then Wei Cheng said:

"We are astronauts, not acrobats! We are not even astronauts! An Qing, stop imagining things! You are just courting death! Did you see how the rice cooker fell? If you dare to stand on the wings of an airplane, I guarantee you will fall like that in a little while!"

Liu Feng, who had been silent, also stepped forward:
"I don't agree with this plan either. It's too dangerous. No... it can't be described as dangerous. This is simply courting death."

"The space plane does not have any access to the wings. The closest place to the wing is the outer door at the junction of the equipment cabin and the passenger cabin, which is the main cabin door through which we enter the space plane from the outside."

"How are you going to get through? You can't just open the hatch and then climb over by grabbing the window sill and the lock outside, right? Wei Cheng is right, Hollywood movies don't play it that way, not even 007 James Bond would dare to do it that way. Lin Xian, what do you think?"

Lin Xian answered without hesitation:

"I don't agree with this plan either, not at all."

He turned to look at An Qing and shook his head:

"We'll go back to the robotic arm's cabin as planned and try again a few more times. If we can catch it, we'll catch it. If not, forget it."

"Spacetime particles are certainly important, but they are definitely not important enough to sacrifice our companions."

but.

Chu Anqing still shook her head firmly:
"No, Senior Lin Xian. Sister Huang Que is right. Space-time particles... are far more important than you think."

She bit her lip:

"This space-time particle... must be snatched away at all costs!"

After that, she turned around:

"Sister Yellow Bird."

Chu Anqing raised her head and met a pair of deep blue eyes:
"Let me go!"

however……

It was beyond Lin Xian's expectation.

This time, even the yellow bird, who was only focused on capturing the space-time particles, showed a hint of hesitation.

She was silent for a long time.

No sound was made.

It’s unclear what she was thinking, but it’s clear that she was very conflicted.

"Sister Huang Que!" Chu Anqing raised her voice.

The yellow bird closed his eyes and frowned.

"Commander Huang!!!"

Chu Anqing yelled with an unprecedented voice, almost breaking her voice:

"【Why did you come back?】"

The oriole suddenly opened his eyes.

Gritting his teeth, he pressed his right hand on the popped-up mask of the space suit helmet:

"Everyone! Close the space suit masks! Activate the constant pressure and constant temperature device to stabilize the atmospheric pressure inside the space suit, and at the same time, fasten the safety rope to the buckle on the inner wall."

"Weicheng, prepare to depressurize the equipment cabin again. Once the pressure is the same as the outside atmosphere, open the main cabin door!"

No matter how hard everyone tried to persuade him, Huang Que had made up his mind.

Her bright and azure blue pupils, at this moment, became a little blurry, not as bright, and a little scattered, like a mirror covered with a layer of mist.

But that moment was too short and Lin Xian didn't see it clearly.

Click.

The mask on the space suit helmet fell down completely, covering Huang Que's face.

……

Whoosh whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!

Outside the wide-open door of the space shuttle, the wind whistled, creating a whistle effect.

at this time.

The aircraft was flying at an altitude of 31000 meters in the stratosphere.

The atmospheric pressure inside the equipment cabin had already dropped to the same level as that outside at an altitude of 30,000 meters. It was thin and cold, only a few tenths of the atmospheric pressure at sea level.

Because of this.

When everything is ready and the main entrance and exit door of the aerospace plane's equipment compartment is opened, the air pressure balance can be ensured to prevent objects inside the aircraft and astronauts from being sucked out of the cabin by turbulence.

nowadays.

Except for Chu Anqing, the space suits of all the personnel in the equipment cabin, including Lin Xian, Huang Que, Liu Feng, and Gao Yang, were all inflated by the internal air pressure and returned to the shape of the Michelin Tire Man.

The temperature of everything within reach is dropping rapidly. Even the electronic equipment in the equipment bay of the aerospace plane has dropped to dozens of degrees below zero.

If it were an ordinary electronic device, it would have been shut down and unable to operate by now.

But this is an aerospace plane after all. Various harsh scenarios and emergencies were taken into consideration at the beginning of its design, so all equipment is operating normally.

Each of them had two safety ropes fastened to their space suits.

Short ropes were connected to the inner walls of the cabin to ensure their safety.

And at this time Chu Anqing.

She was standing next to the main cabin door where the whistle sounded, and a safety rope was also fastened behind her.

The rope is very long, a full ten meters, and is much thicker than everyone else's safety rope.

One end was buckled on Chu Anqing's space suit, and the other end was buckled on the safety buckle of the inner cabin. Then the tail part was held in the hands of Lin Xian, Gao Yang, and Liu Feng one after another.

This is where problems really arise.

such as……

In the worst case scenario, if Chu Anqing really fell down, they could pull her back in time.

The best thing about the space plane is that its working fluid engine is located at the tail of the aircraft, instead of under the wings on both sides like conventional jet aircraft.

I can only say that this is the only good news among all the bad news.

If you were to fall from the wing of a jet plane, there is an 80% chance that you would be sucked directly into the engine, crushed, heated, and burned into charcoal particles.

In comparison, the wings of the aerospace plane are very ordinary, with a simple structure, just ordinary wings. Although it is still very dangerous to fall down, at least... it won't be as terrible as being sucked into the engine and burned into charcoal particles.

According to the plan they made.

Now the rice cooker is hung on the abdomen of Chu Anqing's space suit through a buckle.

Her hands are free.

Tied with a safety rope, she will climb up the buckle on the outside of the aerospace plane, go out of the main cabin door, then move half a meter to the back of the aerospace plane and stand on the wing of the aerospace plane.

This is an extremely dangerous move...

Even if the world's top astronauts or acrobats came, they would still be terrified.

But at the moment.

This young girl, a sophomore at Tunghai University, will challenge this wonder of the world.

"The speed of the space plane is 0.97 Mach; the altitude is 28000 meters in the atmosphere; because it is flying with the wind, the relative wind speed is 16 meters per second, which is acceptable."

On the radio communicator, Wei Cheng was reporting data:
"I will fly as smoothly as possible and keep the left wing as level as possible. But this is not absolute. Even if the wind is stable and there are no clouds ahead, high-altitude turbulence can occur from time to time. Astronauts leaving the cabin are requested to prioritize their own balance."

"Received!" Chu Anqing's clear voice replied on the radio.

She gripped the catch on the frame of the wide-open main cabin door.

Prepare to leave the cabin!

She held the buckle tightly with both hands, and stretched out her right foot first, stepping on the buckle of the aircraft shell, finding the right point to apply force.

Then he pushed his body lightly.

With everyone's hearts beating in their throats, Chu Anqing successfully came out of the cabin and clung to the outer shell of the aerospace plane!
When Gao Yang saw this scene, he closed his eyes and didn't dare to open them. He felt like ants were crawling all over his body. He was nervous and terrified, and his hair was numb.

This is an altitude of 30,000 meters!
The outer shell of the aerospace plane!

Fortunately, Chu Anqing's innate astronaut physique is really strong enough.

Previously at the astronaut training base, she had received exaggerated full marks in almost all items. In terms of physical fitness and body coordination alone, she had even surpassed many active astronauts.

No wonder she dances well, but not that well.

The reason is that he has good physical fitness, strong balance and unmatched coordination, but no artistic talent.

It's like a giant with muscles and fists but no brains.

Powerful, but soulless.

However, today's action, which is unimaginable to ordinary people, is a perfect opportunity for Chu Anqing's unique physique and talents to be fully utilized.

Maybe it's really as she said.

she was.

Born for this great moment.

Live for this historic moment!

The wing of the aerospace plane is only half a meter away from the main cabin door, which is not far.

Flying with the wind, the relative wind speed was also very small, so Chu Anqing did not feel too much pressure.

Lin Xian, Gao Yang, and Liu Feng tensed up and held the safety ropes tightly in their hands...

Ready at all the time.

If any accident really happened, Chu Anqing would be immediately pulled back through the wide-open hatch.

thump.

On the radio channel, which was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, a heart-wrenching sound of something falling was heard.

"Report! I have successfully reached the wing! There is no problem in keeping my balance!"

Chu Anqing's reassuring voice came.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief...

Lin Xian looked outside through the porthole next to him.

The area of the Earth below was blue and dark.

The blue color comes from the angle at which sunlight can illuminate the sky and refract in the atmosphere.

It was dark because on the surface of the earth, it was still dark due to the principle that light travels in a straight line. He slightly retracted his gaze and looked at the pearly white wings in front of him.

Chu Anqing was already bent over, doing horse stance, and stabilizing herself on the trapezoidal wing that was two meters wide, three meters long, and only about one meter wide at the end.

At this moment, she had already unfastened the buckle that was holding the space-time particle catcher, opened the lid of the rice cooker-like object, and held it in her arms, as if she was holding a magic weapon to absorb monsters, and slowly moved forward:

"A little closer, Coach Wei Cheng... a little higher, a little lower, and even lower... a little to the right, all right! Just this direction and speed!"

After commanding Wei Cheng to adjust the posture of the aerospace plane, Chu Anqing, who was standing on the horizontal wing of the aerospace plane at an altitude of 26000 meters, was about to begin capturing space-time particles!

The three men also held the safety ropes tightly in their hands.

"Hey--"

Chu Anqing rushed forward and pushed the rice cooker forward.

No feedback, it seems that it was not caught.

She waited for a while again, like a cobra hunting its prey...

"This way!"

She swung the rice cooker to the left!
But still not caught.

"hateful……"

She gritted her teeth and sighed:

“It’s always just a little bit short!”

Time passes like lead.

Difficult, slow, and painful.

Chu Anqing tried his best outside, but ultimately failed to capture the jumping space-time particles.

"Altitude 24000 meters... 23000 meters... 21000 meters... 20000 meters!"

Wei Cheng's voice on the radio became more and more anxious:
"The altitude has exceeded 20,000 meters! It's no use! Although we are still a certain distance away from the troposphere below, we have now reached the bottom of the stratosphere, where turbulence and clouds have begun to appear! It's very dangerous!"

"The further down you go, the greater the possibility of turbulence! Chu Anqing can still perform extravehicular operations smoothly now, entirely because the airflow is stable and the relative wind speed is relatively low! If we really reach the turbulent layer, once there is an oncoming wind, it will be a gust of wind with a speed of several hundred meters per second! It will blow Chu Anqing down in an instant!"

"Commander Huang! Please give the order immediately! Abort this capture mission! If we continue like this... something serious will happen!!"

At this moment.

It's not just Weicheng.

Almost everyone realizes...

too difficult.

This space-time particle is really difficult to capture.

It flashes and flickers quickly, is not affected by external forces, becomes invisible to the naked eye, and instinctively resists entities due to space-time rejection...

This is an impossible task!

“Throw it!”

Liu Feng's face flushed with anxiety:

"An Qing! Throw the rice cooker out! Throw it towards the space-time particles! No matter if it succeeds or not, hurry back!"

Chu Anqing has been outside catching space-time particles for a long time.

However, this game of catching dragonflies and butterflies failed because he was unable to jump and was not flexible enough.

finally……

Chu Anqing panted, crouched down, and stood in a horse stance on the wing, not moving anymore.

Have you given up?
Have you finally given up?

Everyone was preparing to pick up Chu Anqing.

"what time is it."

Suddenly, on the radio channel, Chu Anqing asked calmly:

"Sister Huang Que, what time is it now?"

Lin Xian, Gao Yang and Liu Feng looked at each other. Why were they asking about the time at this time?

Huang Que raised his head and looked at the clock embedded in the wall of the storage room:
"00:39"

she said softly.

"Hey……"

Chu Anqing chuckled and felt her whole body relax.

She looked back.

Looking through the porthole, through the two layers of the space suit helmet mask, she saw Lin Xian in the aircraft cabin just a few steps away, holding the safety rope tightly and looking at her.

The straight-line distance between the two of them was less than one meter.

It's just a layer of steel bulkhead.

But this one meter...

Like a cliff, like a natural moat, like a galaxy.

Within reach, yet out of reach.

"Originally, I wanted to talk to you for a while longer."

Chu Anqing said in a low voice.

the voice very low.

Mixed with the sound of the wind, it was completely inaudible over the radio.

"An Qing? What did you say?"

Lin Xian held the safety rope tightly, stared at the girl on the wing outside the window, and asked her to repeat it again.

however……

The girl finally smiled.

Look back.

Facing the sky, facing the other side of the wing, facing the space-time particles that flash and jump quickly two or three meters in front of your eyes.

Click.

She reached out and pressed the switch of the radio communicator outside her helmet, exiting the communication channel directly.

then.

Hands behind your back!
Unfastened the safety buckle on the back of the space suit!
"An Qing!"

Lin Xian suddenly realized something!
I could see the porthole just a few feet away...

The girl took two steps back, pressed herself against the outer shell of the aerospace plane, bent down, and prepared to run!

boom!
Several images appeared in Lin Xian's mind, overlapping each other.

"I feel like everyone around me is so amazing..."

In the Donghai University laboratory, Chu Anqing raised her head with a smile:
"Compared to you, I am nothing except the daughter of Chu Shanhe."
.
"I'm sorry, Senior Lin Xian, I think I did something stupid."

In the New Jersey Stadium with 80,000 people, Chu Anqing lowered her head:

"But! Everyone thinks you can't win! I'm so mad! I just want to come and cheer you on!"
.
"Wow!"

On the rooftop of the Aman Hotel, Chu Anqing widened her eyes with curiosity:
"So! This is the center of the world!?"
.
"Since I won't be seeing you tomorrow, I'd like to wish you good morning, good afternoon, and..."

In the night breeze of Manhattan, Chu Anqing turned around with a smile:
"Good night."
.
"What if the plane doesn't stop in the United States, but continues to fly eastward in the direction of the earth's rotation! Flying and flying... wouldn't we never have to wait until tomorrow? We'll always live in today!"

At Donghai Pudong Airport, Chu Anqing stood on tiptoe excitedly:

"Well, well, well! If the plane flies faster! Faster! Wouldn't it be possible for us to travel through time and go back to yesterday, back to the past?!"
.
"Don't get lost, Senior Lin Xian!"

In the tea shop at Xidan Square in the imperial capital, Chu Anqing waved with a smile:

"Don't lose your way back and find me!"
.
“Dangdangdang~~”

At the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, Chu Anqing jumped out of the light holding a cake:

"Happy birthday, Senior Lin Xian!"
.
The center of the world.

Chu Anqing opened her arms, facing the sky, the moonlight, and the entire starry sky:
"You jump, I jump!"

"Come back——————" Lin Xian loosened the safety rope in his hand and shouted loudly!
however.

It's too late.

Chu Anqing accelerated with all her strength!
Run on the narrow wings of the space plane!
Like a charging cheetah,

Like a leaping antelope,

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom! The sound of intense footsteps,

She ran up very quickly, jumped near the tail of the wing, and leaped three feet high!
Hold the rice cooker high!
Bang!
The rice cooker closed in mid-air, and Chu Anqing held it tightly in her arms!
beep.

In the cockpit of the aerospace plane, at the feet of the co-pilot, the space-time particle tracker that Liu Feng casually threw away suddenly lit up and detected the signal of space-time particles.

"Liu Feng!"

The driver Wei Cheng excitedly shouted in the communication channel:
"Got it! Got it!! Your tracker has tracked the space-time particle signal!"

But no one responded to him.

In the equipment cabin, Liu Feng watched Chu Anqing jumping out of the wing outside the porthole and falling due to a stall. His whole body went limp and he collapsed to the ground.

Click!Click!
Lin Xian was well prepared, with both hands already on the safety rope buckles, and he opened both buckles in an instant! He rushed towards the wide-open door in front of the equipment cabin like crazy!
"Come back, Lin Xian!"

Sensing Lin Xian's thoughts, Huang Que, who was tied by the safety rope, shouted:

"【No! No need to save her!!】"

However, it was too late.

Lin Xian had already rushed out of the cabin and leaped into the sky at an altitude of 20,000 meters.

Huang Que's eyes went dark, and tears of sorrow welled up in his eyes:

"【She is a thousand-year-old pile!!!】"

Hu Hu Hu.

The wind howled outside the space suit.

Lin Xian, wearing an orange space suit, freely fell from an altitude of 20,000 meters!

Temperature.

Turbulence.

He doesn't care about any of it!

catch up.

Catch up!
Lin Xian stared, searching for Chu Anqing's figure among the rapidly passing chaotic clouds!

In the third dream...

He parachuted from an altitude of 20,000 meters dozens or even hundreds of times!

He knows it all!
He knows it all!
Stretch your arms, stretch your body, allow your body to bear force over a large area, and adjust the direction.

This was the result of countless nights of practice and countless lessons from the red lasers in his third dream, which had already allowed him to control everything like a bird in the sky!
Wei Cheng once explained.

The orange space suit, also called the Advanced Escape System Space Suit, removes many unnecessary functions and focuses more on safety and tooling. It is fully equipped with not only radio, flashlight, medicine, etc., but also a set of [parachute] and emergency survival equipment!
As long as Chu Anqing is caught.

As long as Chu Anqing is caught!
Can save her!!

"found it!"

As Lin Xian continued to glide towards the direction where Chu Anqing fell, he finally saw Chu Anqing falling at high speed in the clouds below.
That was an orange figure...

The petite figure curled up quietly, holding the brown rice cooker tightly in her arms.

She didn't struggle at all.

Not the slightest movement.

that's it.

Holding a rice cooker.

Quiet, peaceful, and ready to die.

Can catch up!
Can catch up!!

The wind in my ears is as sharp as lightning.

Just like those countless nights in the third dream, falling from the sky and falling from a height of 20,000 meters, Lin Xian no longer had any fear at all!

He can accurately pass through an air defense gap that is invisible to the naked eye without any reference.

Of course!
Also catch up with a striking orange girl!

"An Qing!!!"

Lin Xian shouted, shuttling between the sky and the clouds.

Damn it.

Why can't it be faster!
Hurry up!

Faster! !
He kept adjusting his posture to reduce wind resistance and fully utilized every bit of physical mechanics to make himself have less resistance and fall faster!

What is the terminal velocity of a free-falling adult man?
He had checked it, but forgot it. It should be 90 meters per second, right? Anyway, it was much faster than Chu Anqing's terminal speed, who weighed less than kilograms!
Whoosh whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!
Amid the endless and torturous howling of the wind, Lin Xian had no idea how long he had been free falling.

His eyes were fixed on nothing else.

There was only the orange figure that kept approaching!

Getting closer!

Not only is the orange shadow getting closer, but the lights and details on the surface are getting closer and clearer!
The current altitude is estimated to be less than 3000 meters.

Chu Anqing must be caught before the parachute opens to the minimum altitude!

near...

Nearly.

close!

The distance is only a dozen meters!
Ten meters!

Five meters!

Three meters!

Two meters!

one meter!
He caught up!

Falling from a height of 20,000 meters, free fall, until now he was 2,000 meters above the ground, he caught up! Only one meter was left!
"An Qing!!!!"

Lin Xian shouted.

Although Chu Anqing had already exited the radio channel, she couldn't hear it at all.

He stretched out his right hand! He stretched it forward with all his strength:
"Hand!!! Give me your hand!!!"

at the moment.

Descending at the same speed, the orange figure only one meter away suddenly raised his head.

It was already night and the sun could not reach it. The mask was completely dark and Lin Xian could not see anything.

"Hand!!! Give me your hand!!!"

Lin Xian shouted and waved his right hand, trying to catch Chu Anqing who was falling:

"Never mind the space-time particles! Give me your hand! Give it to me!!"

at last.

Chu Anqing seemed to hear Lin Xian calling her.

Her left hand was still tightly holding the rice cooker, and her right hand was stretched upwards.

The two men's right hands gradually pulled in the air.

Keep stretching and waving.

In a high-speed free fall, it’s only a small distance, but it can never be crossed, it can never be approached, and both hands can never hold it!

faster.

Faster!
Lin Xian felt a bloody taste in his mouth. He probably bit his gums until they bled. He just hated why the laws of physics were so strict at this moment! Why couldn't it be faster?
The details of the city suburbs below are already visible.

This distance height.

I'm afraid it's less than 2000 meters.

Lin Xian's shoulder was almost dislocated from stretching his right hand...

Wave your right hand hard!

Can't catch.

Not even close.

The fingertips of the two were only a dozen centimeters apart!

Ten centimeters!
Five centimeters!
1 cm!

Right in front of you!

Lin Xian used up all his strength, raised his right hand, and swung it vigorously -

Snapped!
【Caught! 】

Big hands and small hands hold tightly!

Lin Xian clenched his teeth.

Lift it up with all your strength! Hold Chu Anqing and the rice cooker tightly in your arms!
Then quickly free up your left hand and grab the parachute ring around your waist!
Pull hard——

Wow!

The white parachute released a white line, which then looked like a blooming flower.

In the night sky...

Bloom suddenly!

……

Space-T Starship Launch Site, Boca Chica, Texas, United States.

Observation tower.

Jask stared at the USB drive in his hand.

Crystal clear, with blue flowing light, it looks like a glass galaxy or broken sapphire.

Beautiful and stunning.

Extremely exquisite.

But then...

The light on the USB flash drive flickered for a while, then suddenly became dim, empty, and transparent...

Then suddenly there was no weight.

A gust of wind blew by.

The USB drive that just appeared in physical form instantly turned into blue stardust, floating and blowing away in the wind.

The scattered blue stardust, like thousands of collapsed quanta, turned into dust, turned into nothingness, and disappeared...

Jask clenched his palms, then opened them again.

Feeling the touch of the USB drive just now, even though it is no longer there, the palm of my hand is already empty.

"It seems..."

He smiled slightly:
“[My closed loop is complete.]”

The shocked secretary next to him pushed up her red-framed glasses and looked at everything in front of her in disbelief:
"Your USB drive! What happened? How did it disappear out of thin air? Is this another Hollywood trick?"

Jask snorted and clapped his hands, as if brushing off the dust on his palms:
"It's a fun magic prop. My friend gave it to me. Isn't it interesting?"

"friend?"

The secretary tilted her head in disbelief:
"I'm the one who arranges your daily schedule. Why don't I remember you meeting any friends during this period? And... when did you have a magician friend?"

"Then let me show you! Hahahahaha..."

Jask laughed and snapped his fingers.

Behind.

A girl wearing sunglasses slowly walked out of the iron shed of the observation tower.

"Shit!" The secretary was really scared!

Who would have thought that there was a person hiding in the iron shed of this iron tower!

She was a very young girl who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old! ?
This problem is too big!

She couldn't help but take a step back and look the girl up and down.

The girl should be less than 1.6 meters tall, a little shorter, and was wearing a very ordinary Adidas sportswear.

She has short black hair that reaches her neck, neat bangs, and a petite figure, but her body still shows signs of having been trained.

At this time, she put her hands in the pockets of her sportswear top and walked out of the iron shed of the observation tower step by step.

Quiet, indifferent, yet with an inexplicable solemn temperament.

The secretary stared at the girl's face, but her facial features could not be seen because she was wearing a huge pair of sunglasses that covered half of her face.

All you can see is the girl's clear jawline, fair skin, and bright red cherry lips. She looks very cute.

Hey.

The girl walked to the middle of the observation deck, stood still, and looked at the secretary without saying a word.

Jask laughed, spread his arms, and introduced to the secretary:
"Look! This is my friend! The friend who gave me the USB drive and the super virus!"

The secretary widened his eyes:

"She's so young!? How long have you been hiding her here?!"

"That's going to take a long time."

Jask rubbed his chin:

"It must have been several months."

"Mr. Jar Jar Jar Jar ..."

The secretary stammered:

"I think now you may face more serious charges, and I'm afraid that your friend who is running for the election and may become the barrel of the United States can't save you."

Hahahaha, Jask was in a good mood and laughed heartily a few times.

Then he turned to look at the girl:

"Now that my closed loop has been formed... can you act with confidence now?"

The girl nodded.

He stretched out his right hand from his pocket and pushed up the huge sunglasses on his face.

"hiss……"

The secretary's eyes widened and he couldn't help but gasp.

The girl in front of me is stunningly beautiful, coldly beautiful, tender and smart.

the most important is……

The eyes of a young girl.

It actually emits a faint blue light!

Deep, eerie, bright, and dreamy.

It looks like colored glaze.

Like a galaxy.

It looks like... a broken sapphire.

……

Boom!
I don’t know which country or city this is in.

The full and falling parachute suddenly became wrinkled and loose, and bent down in the evening breeze.

Lin Xian landed on his feet.

But due to the inertia of the dive, he knelt on the ground with Chu Anqing in his arms.

"An Qing! An..."

Lin Xian opened his eyes wide.

The first thing he did when he landed was to push open the mask of his space suit, take a deep breath of the fresh air on the surface, and then pick up Chu Anqing, who was wearing an orange space suit on the ground.

however……

The moment he picked up Chu Anqing, he was stunned.

[Light... Why is it so light? ]

He felt the weight in his arms, it didn't feel like a person!

No matter how slim and slender Chu Anqing is, she can't be so light!

Lin Xian felt that the space suit in his hands seemed to have no weight... or rather, there was only the weight of the space suit, and he did not feel the weight of the person inside at all!
"An...An Qing?"

moment.

Lin Xian felt his heart sink.

He hurriedly turned on the locking switch of Chu Anqing's space suit helmet, and with a click, pushed up the mask directly!
No……

nobody.

There was nothing in the empty space suit!

"where is the guy?"

Lin Xian widened his eyes, unable to accept it at all.

He pulled the space suit all the way open! All the way open!

What is there?

Nothing at all!

There was nothing inside the space suit except for the bits of blue stardust that were stirred up when the suit was opened!
Even those faint, illusion-like blue stardust...

They also dissipated and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Where are the people!!"

Lin Xian stood up and shouted.

But no one responded.

Gulu gulu...

As Lin Xian stood up, the space-time particle capturer clamped in the arm of Chu Anqing's space suit rolled down.

This trap, which looks like a rice cooker, rolled twice and landed face up on the yellow lawn.

The electronic display screen at the top of the capture device flashed twice in an orderly manner.

Then there was a beeping sound.

No more flashing, no more changing words.

Instead, two lines of fonts are displayed stably——

【Spacetime Particles: Capture Successfully! 】
