"I'm just a bodyguard. I don't have the relevant expertise," Tu Ge replied.
"But here on Earth and in the surrounding region, trapped inside that damned Tattered Divine Cloak, finding another expert is impossible, isn't it?"
The flowing characters shifted rapidly, seeming to assemble before Tu Ge's eyes into Li Wei's face: cold, perhaps, yet somehow indifferent to everything.
More text came from Li Wei: "Don't be so rigid. In an isolated place like this, with crude facilities and no backup, we'll only extract the Bloodline Project's core value if we all work together. When you handed me the sample, you stressed its unique value too... Though you were only passing along someone else's words."
The stream of text paused for a moment.
Tu Ge changed the subject. "You've started driving Deep Blue World. What happened when it collided with Local Time-Space?"
Li Wei answered without hesitation. "The observable region matches our calculations. But whether we can break through the divide that tattered cloak has drawn still depends on a great deal of luck."
"Luck... You don't expect it to work."
"Of course not. We have no idea what kind of barrier that apparently fallen Deity wove around this region of spacetime, or how it has changed over an unknown span of time without anyone tending it. If the collision experiment lets us establish its observable characteristics and study some of its properties, that alone will be a good result.
"As I've said, I never expected to get out of this enclosure through my own efforts."
Li Wei sounded perfectly unconcerned—or at least, his words did.
"You were at Moon Orbital Base then, so you couldn't feel the details of the collision. And since you're a 'nonexpert,' the data must be hard going for you. Why worry so much about
