“Foolish aquatic mammal.” The aloof girl glared at him. “Get this straight, this is the first time we’ve used reliable evidence to prove this. As for the legendary double sun in the sky, who knows if it’s even true?”
"That's true, as expected of Teacher Shen, your considerations are indeed meticulous." The boy continued to nod.
"Is the evidence that the two suns look different?" Nagasaki Asuna tilted her head.
Shen Xi pinched his chin and said seriously, "That's right, the first sun has an unreasonable number of sunspots on its surface... We'll call it the Anomalous Sun for now, and the other one the Normal Sun. Unfortunately, the Normal Sun has only appeared once so far, which isn't enough to analyze the relationship between the two suns and their brightness."
These are the results obtained by Nagasaki Asuna over the past few days. After observing an abnormal sun with a large number of sunspots for the first two days, the dual-body world experienced three days of polar night. Then, just now, a normal sun briefly appeared and disappeared.
"So we need to continue observing?" Nagasaki Asuna thought for a moment.
“We must obtain enough records. No one in the Twin World has done this before; we have to rely on ourselves.” Shen Xi said expressionlessly.
"Okay, so I'll have to stay there the whole time?" Nagasaki Asuna said casually.
“I’ll take turns with you, no need to pretend, you vixen.” Shen Xi glanced at her.
"Hey, I didn't say anything!" Nagasaki Asuna looked wronged.
"Anyone can understand what I mean," Shen Xi scoffed.
"If Shen Xi had just asked me earnestly, I wouldn't have complained even if I did it all by myself?"
"Ha, you can fool others, just don't fool yourself."
“Teacher Shen,” Cheng Fei interrupted calmly, “at least have some faith in Nana? She’s been working really hard these past few days.”
"Trash, so you're favoring this vixen?" Shen Xi stared at him, displeased.
"I'm just stating the facts. Of course, if Teacher Shen likes it, she can scold her as she pleases." The boy clasped his hands together and bowed his head.
Shen Xi squinted and turned her face away.
Asuna Nagasaki watched the boy and smiled happily, her clear eyes curving into two crescent moons.
"Let's get back to the main topic." Shen Xi took a deep breath, her face cold. "Compared with Cheng Feiyu's results, there are some other important discoveries."
"Okay, please go on, Teacher Shen." The boy sat up straight, adopting an attentive listening posture.
"First, let me emphasize the color. The sun in a binary system is blue, and both suns are blue. The color of a star corresponds to its surface temperature. Blue indicates that the temperature is much higher than that of our Earth's yellow sun. These stars have a large mass, intense internal fusion, and a short lifespan. They are a rare type of star, and it is even rarer for two stars to form a binary system," Shen Xi said slowly.
“Understood, the dual-body world is indeed very special.” Cheng Fei nodded.
Shen Xi frowned slightly, "In addition, theoretically, these kinds of stars would emit a lot of ultraviolet radiation, so even a stand-in should feel uncomfortable. But in reality, it didn't. Perhaps it's related to the composition of the atmosphere, where the ultraviolet radiation was absorbed..."
"That makes sense," the boy agreed.
Shen Xi shook her head and continued, "Compared to the Earth's sun, we can see that the sunspots on the abnormal sun are obviously abnormal. Not only are they numerous and strangely shaped, but they also show no signs of activity."
"No signs of activity?" Cheng Fei looked at her.
Shen Xi clicked the mouse and played a video of the Earth's sun projection. "Just like observing Earth's weather activity from space, you can see changes in cloud formations. Normal sunspots are also constantly moving, and there are visible changes within a few hours or a day."
She pressed fast forward and could see the spherical black shadow on the yellow disc writhing. After a few seconds, the girl played the abnormal solar projection video of the dual-body world. In the video, the blue disc filled with black dots was almost still.
"Huh, really not moving at all?" Nagasaki Asuna blinked.
“This is very illogical. Every sunspot is the result of a massive surge of plasma on the surface of a star, just like a storm on Earth. How could there be a static storm?” Shen Xi frowned. “Moreover, even if sunspot activity is slow, it will still move as a whole due to the rotation of the star. For example, sunspots on Earth’s Sun move thirteen degrees westward in a day, while sunspots on an abnormal Sun do not change at all for two days, unless it rotates very slowly or there is a situation similar to tidal locking.”
"What's with the strange shape?" Cheng Fei asked.
Shen Xi glanced at him with a sympathetic look, then pointed at the screen. "Are aquatic mammals really bad at eyesight too? It's obvious that normal sunspots are twisted spheres of varying sizes, with an umbra and a penumbra. Sunspots on abnormal sunspots are randomly distributed black dots in patches, without even any grayscale variation, just like entities with clear boundaries."
The scene on the screen was exactly as the girl described.
The boy shrugged. "What I mean is, are these really sunspots?"
"What does Cheng Feiyu think?" Shen Xi asked, staring at him.
"Perhaps there's something blocking the way between the dual world and the anomalous sun?" The boy stroked his chin thoughtfully.
“Cheng Feiyu did have some imagination this time, but unfortunately I’ve already studied it. From the perspective of orbital mechanics alone, such a long transit of a celestial body is impossible, unless what you call something can actively correct its orbit.” Shen Xi lowered her eyes and shook her head.
"I understand. It must be a massive alien fleet, constantly adjusting its position to block the dual-body world from the anomalous sun." The boy clenched his fist.
Shen Xi looked at him with pity. "Leaving aside how advanced the technology would be to stabilize such a large fleet over the sun, what's the point of going to such lengths?"
"To demonstrate miracles to the dual-body world." The boy looked into her eyes and slowly opened his arms.
"Then it would be easier to wrap the entire dual-body world in some kind of material and project images onto it." The aloof girl looked speechless.
"A low-dimensional unfolding sophon? Very likely." The boy's expression turned serious.
Shen Xi looked away, seemingly not wanting to talk to him anymore. "In short, we can't explain the abnormal sunspots at the moment."
“Compared to that, the normal sun is much better?” Nagasaki Asuna said softly.
Shen Xi looked at the screen and nodded, "Aside from being more active, sunspots on a normal sun are not much different from those on Earth's sun. They are active and move as a whole with the star's rotation."
On the screen, another blue disc surface was swirling with twisted black shadows, like another form of cloud rolling around.
Cheng Fei coughed lightly. "In that case, I probably don't need to sunbathe anymore, right?"
“Observing the Earth and the Sun is indeed enough, but the dual-body world also needs manpower to take turns, or you can have your fox spirit take on your share.” Shen Xi glanced at him, expressionless.
"Teacher Shen, of course I'll take shifts, but if I don't have time to go online, can't you be kind and share the workload with Nana?" The boy spread his hands seriously.
"You've criticized me enough. All you want to do is find ways to shirk responsibility and go out and fool around," Shen Xi sneered.
"Teacher Shen, what are you saying? Actually, I've been seriously thinking about the dual-body world these past few days. I'll let you know when I have some ideas." The boy tried to rub her head, but she dodged and glared at him fiercely.
"That sounds nice, but we might die before we ever see any results," Shen Xi said coldly.
"That's an exaggeration. Please believe me a little, thank you." The boy shook his head and sighed.
……
As a result, Cheng Fei had to ask Shen Xi for leave the next day.
"As expected, these aquatic mammals are beyond saving; they should die!"
I received a reply that made me grit my teeth and get so angry just by reading it.
The boy looked at his phone and shook his head helplessly. He changed into a clean and refreshing outfit, left the rented room, and drove off in his Panamera.
The silver sports car arrived at the airport in Academy City. It was not open to the public and could only be used by a select few. He hadn't even been qualified to come in before, and he always had to wait on the roadside outside to pick up Lin Xuanqi.
The Panamera is now parked at the entrance of the arrival hall.
Exuding a mature and intellectual aura, the former most beautiful girl in the Sakura student council stepped out alone. Through the lowered car window, she saw the boy with his hands on the steering wheel, gave him a smile that was still full of shrewdness and ambiguity, and slowly walked forward, opened the car door and got into the passenger seat.
"Sister Siyuan, it's been a long time." Cheng Fei nodded to her, remembering that the last time they met was at the graduation ceremony.
"Long time no see~ Have you missed your sister?" Kong Siyuan leaned back in her chair, crossed her legs, and placed one hand on her knee, smiling as she looked at the boy.
The high school graduate's full thighs, encased in black semi-transparent pantyhose beneath her skirt, drew even more attention.
"Of course I wanted to, after all, Sister Siyuan is my half-sister." The boy nodded seriously.
Kong Siyuan laughed, "Cheng Fei's indifference towards you, sister, is still the same as before~"
"Not at all, I'm just showing you respect, Sister Siyuan." The young man kept his eyes on the road, pressed the accelerator, and slowly started the coupe. "Sister Siyuan, have you had lunch yet?"
"I ate some airplane food, but I was too sleepy before and didn't have much of an appetite. Now I'm actually a bit hungry." The former student council president covered his mouth and yawned slightly, glancing at him out of the corner of his eye.
“Okay, then let’s treat Sister Siyuan to a meal first, to celebrate your graduation.” The boy nodded immediately.
"Then let's sleep together to help my sister adjust to the time difference~ How about that?" Kong Siyuan gently touched her cheek, revealing a serious and interested smile.
“We still have serious business to discuss, so why don’t you try to stay home a little later and go to sleep?” The boy changed his expression.
Kong Siyuan's eyes darted around, her arms crossed over her chest, remaining calm and collected. "Cheng Fei, you really are something else. You were in such a hurry to see your sister as if you were rushing to confess your feelings, but then you said you wanted to sleep and then you didn't want to anymore. Are you just deceiving your sister's feelings like this?"
"Sister Siyuan, I also want to confess my feelings to you, but it's really not good if word gets out that we're in a relationship where the woman is older." The boy looked at the road with a serious expression.
"Then let's get together secretly, how about it? What kind of exciting things do you want to do? I can accompany you~" Kong Siyuan blinked, changed her sitting posture, turned to look at him from the side, and lowered her voice.
The boy paused for a second, his expression unchanged, then said, "Sister Siyuan, would you like Chinese or Western food? By the way, I recently discovered a pretty good Japanese restaurant; how about I go with you to try it?"
Kong Siyuan looked at him and covered her mouth, bursting into laughter. "Cheng Fei, you're only like this in front of your sister~"
"I am indeed quite casual in front of Sister Siyuan. I think Sister Siyuan and I are similar people, so she shouldn't blame me, right?" The boy looked like he was thinking seriously.
"I'm scared of you. Well, let me think about what to have for lunch. I won't be polite then." Kong Siyuan shook her head, her smile unchanged.
"Sister Siyuan, you can eat with me anytime you like, no need to be shy." The young man patted his chest.
"But I also want to be unrestrained in other ways~"
"Sister Siyuan, is Hawaii fun? I've never been there before, tell me about it."
During their seemingly casual conversation, Palamera vanished in a flash at the end of a road in Academy City.
Finally, Cheng Fei took Kong Siyuan to a restaurant near Yinhuan to facilitate the next step of the operation.
"By the way, does Lin Xuanqi know you're here to pick up her sister?" Kong Siyuan stirred the salad with smoked salmon and pine nuts with a fork, a hint of schadenfreude in her eyes.
"To be honest, I came to see Sister Siyuan behind her back." The boy shook his head and finished off the roast pigeon he always ordered when he came to this restaurant.
"Oh? It seems that my sister still holds a certain place in your heart~" Kong Siyuan chuckled.
"It's more than just a little. Sister Siyuan has always held a special place in my heart, even higher than her in some ways." The young man nodded with certainty.
"What is his status?" Kong Siyuan stopped eating, rested her chin on her hand, stared at the boy's face, and tapped her cheek with her fingers.
"She's like an older sister to me, even though we're not from the same father or mother, we cherish each other and she values and cares for me a lot." The boy sighed comfortably.
Kong Siyuan shifted her chin to her other hand, her smile carrying her usual shrewdness. "It seems you really have something important to discuss with me today~ What is it?"
"Sister Siyuan, I'm telling you this, but don't tell anyone else." The boy put down his chopsticks and said seriously.
"Don't worry~" Kong Siyuan's smile remained unchanged.
"I want to break up with Lin Xuanqi," he said softly.
852. The Protoss Apostles mounted on the prototype were
As soon as she finished speaking, Kong Siyuan remained motionless, supporting her chin with one hand, staring intently at Cheng Fei. She seemed stunned for a second, then a hint of anticipation flashed in her eyes. She tapped her cheek with her fingers, a smile curving her lips as she uttered a long, cheerful sound, "Oh~ so you've come to see your older sister now?"
Before the boy could respond, she smiled and nodded, shifting her leg under the table and putting it up on top. The thin black fabric rustled almost inaudibly as she leaned forward and whispered, "No problem, but I have to consider Lin Xuanqi's feelings. A seamless switch isn't very appropriate. But since I promised you, I can do anything you want beforehand. Tonight is perfect..."
"Although I like Sister Siyuan very much and regard her as a respected older sister, that's not what I meant. Sister Siyuan, please stop joking." The boy interrupted with his hands clasped together.
Kong Siyuan smiled at him, then casually picked up her bag and stood up. "I suddenly remembered I have something to do, so let's call it a day~"
"Sister Siyuan, please don't do this. Please forgive me for the sake of our deep sibling bond over the past year!" The boy swiftly leaped across the table and grabbed her fair and delicate hand.
Kong Siyuan turned to look at him, meeting the boy's gentle eyes and feeling the heat from his palm. She sat down again decisively, sighed lightly with an air of seriousness, and smiled unchanged, "Sigh~ Fine, what can I do? I like you, so explain yourself. Why did you come here to tell me you want to break up?"
"Then I'll get to the point." The young man immediately released her hand and coughed. "As I told you before, Lin Xuanqi, Shen Xi, and I started a company called Real Technology. Our goal is to develop humanoid robots. The reason we saved Rongchuan Electromechanical was to develop components for Real Technology. Lin Xuanqi gave Real Technology 200 million yuan in angel investment. After we broke up, she definitely won't invest anymore. The good news is that our prototype is almost finished, and we can start our Series A funding round. In short, that's it."
The boy finished speaking in one breath, then shut his mouth and stared intently into Kong Siyuan's eyes.
Kong Siyuan rested her chin on her hand, looking at him with an intrigued smile. "Oh~ I see, so you've come for money after all?"
"Actually, I'm also quite ashamed. Every time I approach Sister Siyuan, it's because I want to invest. But I haven't lied to Sister Siyuan, have I? I hope you can understand this matter in detail before making a decision." The boy lowered his head.
“But you raised 200 million in the angel round, what valuation are you planning for the Series A round? You know I’m not Lin Xuanqi, I can’t give you three or five million, but I can’t help you with anything more.” Kong Siyuan spread her hands.
"So this time, what I want isn't for Sister Siyuan to pay for it herself. The Kong family currently operates in traditional industries like food, clothing, and home appliances, but I guess they might be somewhat interested in emerging technologies, right? They just can't find a good entry point, so I want to try to seize an opportunity." The young man looked at her with a determined gaze.
Kong Siyuan shook her head. "I understand what you mean, but it's no use asking me about such a formal investment project. I can't handle something this big."
"You can't control it and don't want to?" The boy looked at her, his expression unchanged.
Kong Siyuan looked thoughtful, then slowly picked up a piece of smoked salmon from the salad fork in front of her and put it in her mouth. "Continue."
"Sister Siyuan, let me be frank. Everyone knows Lin Xuanqi's investment skills, right? She didn't just come up with 200 million for nothing. Real Technology has unimaginable technology. I think you can talk to your elders. You can ask for any amount of money. The important thing is that if you succeed, it will be the best proof for yourself. This is a win-win situation for us." The boy's tone was persuasive.
"The premise of a win-win situation is," Kong Siyuan shook her fork, unmoved, "that real technology is indeed worth investing in, but how can you believe that Lin Xuanqi didn't give up 200 million out of affection? The idea of you developing robots yourselves is too far-fetched."
The boy nodded. "Don't worry, Sister Siyuan. I didn't mean to send you home to ask for money after just a few words. You have plenty of time to investigate this time, and you can decide whatever you want afterward. Lin Xuanqi's choice is just proof, just like my talent for developing quantitative algorithms is just proof. But with these, at least Sister Siyuan can seriously consider this matter."
Kong Siyuan's eyes flickered, and she looked him over with a smile. "Okay~ I have to admit, if any other student from Yinghua came to me asking for investment, I would just think they were delusional little swindlers. But you are different. So how are you going to convince me?"
“It’s very simple. Real Tech’s headquarters is right next door. After we finish eating, we’ll go see the prototype. I’m honest and straightforward. How about it?” The young man’s lips curled into a confident smile.
So after lunch, Cheng Fei took Kong Siyuan and they set off.
The two quickly arrived at the headquarters of Real Technology. The boy strode through the door and knocked on the front desk, saying, "Xia Meng, go make tea for our future investors."
The round-faced girl sitting in the back organizing the forms stood up abruptly and replied, "Understood, Mr. Cheng!"
