Zong Ji was not familiar with Ronan. Besides, his disappointing son, Zong Qiu, had grown far too close to the Jade Appraisal Association and had nearly dragged Ronan down with him last time... Well, Zong Qiu truly did not have that kind of standing. He had merely been sent back to disgust people.
Though it had not caused any real negative impact, Zong Ji, as the elder, still felt somewhat awkward when the two sides met. He only came forward to greet Ronan, leaving Bamboo Pole to receive him afterward.
Bamboo Pole already knew why Ronan had come and led him and He Yueyin to inspect the samples.
"Yingying did a good job collecting samples on site. She chose wall ash and fragments soaked with water stains. At the time, we weren't sure whether there were aberration factors, so they were preserved in batches. Several catalytic experiments were done in between. I didn't follow up on the specifics, so I'm not too clear on them. There definitely weren't any explosive results... but the experiments have continued, so there should still be suspicions."
This result was not unexpected.
Ronan examined the site samples, then flipped through the experimental records. He said nothing, merely took a vial of sample soaked in a special solution and poured it directly into the hand-formed Space Fault "Crystal Ball." He set a High-Energy Environment within the Space Fault, then had Magneto-Optical Mica spare a little attention for catalysis, while also trying to see whether he could stir Local Time-Space into yielding something useful.
For the moment, there were no visible results.
Bamboo Pole recommended another route. "Take a look at the Spirit Wave Network records. I think they're more reliable than this."
That was true. What held greater value at present was still the Spirit Wave
