"..."
Han Fei resolved all their lingering worries and once again expressed his support.
Afterward, he chatted with them about aliens and Super Genes.
They were very curious about these matters.
A week later.
Black Star Building.
The twelfth basement level.
A special room of several hundred square meters, reinforced with New Titanium Alloy.
If the material suppliers outside saw it, they would probably be extremely envious. The production of New Titanium Alloy had increased, and it was already being supplied externally. However, apart from military supply, not much was released to the market, so the price was extremely high.
Even so, it was priceless and unavailable.
As soon as it was produced, it was snatched up by major research institutes, and a portion was also taken by special industries.
In such a heavily funded room, one could imagine how classified the matters within would be.
And indeed, they were.
Today's experiment here was related to space research.
For Han Fei, it was crucial.
It determined whether he would continue to live in fear and obscurity on Earth or go out and develop into a king.
Hexi, dressed in a white lab coat, exuded an intellectual beauty, especially when she was focused on the handheld instrument. She also had the aura of a cold beauty. It would have been even better with a pair of black-rimmed glasses.
For men, creatures inherently driven by conquest, her allure increased rapidly.
But Han Fei's mind was solely focused on the results.
He was indifferent to the beautiful scenery before him.
"Parameters changing, note them down."
"α47, β31..."
"Spatial structure is changing, possibly related to wormholes... Bring the spirit level..."
At this moment, Black Star's voice suddenly rang out.
"Final analysis complete. Raw materials are water, twenty-three common elements, chlorophyll..."
"According to the tests, some of the liquid inside has a high similarity to cucumber."
This conclusion left everyone present somewhat incredulous. Some of the elderly researchers looked as if their worldview had been shattered.
"...I don't understand."
Hexi's voice held a hint of confusion, but it quickly turned into infinite fighting spirit.
"Pause the liquid research, and manufacture another replica gun!"
Following the order.
A series of instruments appeared.
"Speed up the modeling phase!"
"Reinforce!"
"Intelligent energy ready (Green Baby), power! Increase the output!"
The auxiliary personnel beside them quickly adjusted the instruments.
"Stop!"
Soon, she called a halt.
From the instrument, she took out a gun that resembled a thermometer and was still emitting white smoke.
Then, she took out a glass bottle and filled it with the green liquid from the jar.
Hexi, with an excited expression, inserted a small syringe-sized glass bottle into the gun.
She then handed the gun to a soldier, who took the gun and walked into a special transparent room.
He aimed at a piece of iron plate and fired.
The moment the green liquid touched the iron plate, it transformed into a circular green hole.
Then.
The soldier walked into the hole without hesitation.
And everyone waited in silence.
Han Fei closed his eyes and tapped gently on the table.
A moment later, the soldier returned. Everyone let out an imperceptible sigh of relief.
Disinfectant liquid was sprayed into the room, and then a group of people went in for various tests.
After someone came to report that it was safe, Hexi had the soldier lead a team inside with various instruments.
This time, the wait was even longer.
About three hours passed.
The soldiers returned together.
Carrying all sorts of things.
Soil, water, trees, stones...
After a thorough investigation.
"Found it."
Hexi walked towards Han Fei, holding the gun that was now out of liquid.
Her gaze towards Han Fei was particularly intense. It was clear she had many questions, but for some reason, she pursed her lips.
Chapter 39: Matters Between Hexi and Han Fei
"..."
In the end, she didn't ask.
"During this time, I conducted various studies on that Portal Gun and discovered that its technological content is extremely high, so high that I find it absurd.
According to tests, it can indeed open a spatial channel and can even adjust parameters to travel to different planets, but it cannot travel to parallel universes. Of course, it's not impossible that I haven't fully mastered this thing yet.
Currently, because the planet coordinates and displayed values in this prototype gun are very strange, and I don't know if the teleportation fluid can be recovered, experiments in this area could lead to uncontrollable risks. So, based on the spatial principles remaining in my mind, I've created replicas. One gun per parameter, one gun representing one planet.
But the teleportation fluid is limited. Through my research, I couldn't replicate it, only figuring out how to maximize its use and use precise amounts. After continuous testing, it took about 122 attempts before finally succeeding in detecting a suitable planet on the 123rd try.
Oh, right, these spatial channels can be recovered, but they cannot be put back into the prototype gun, as it's uncertain if it would cause problems.
If they aren't recovered, the spatial channels will remain open indefinitely. Each recovery will incur some loss, but luckily, we were fortunate and only needed 123 attempts."
Don't let Hexi's easy explanation fool you; in reality, this experiment was full of danger and cost a fortune.
Because of this experiment, tens of millions, even hundreds of millions, worth of equipment have been scrapped in the past few days.
The danger level is also genuinely high; over thirty people have already died.
Some died from exploring alien planets with toxic air, incorrect gravity, or natural radiation...
The ways of death were varied.
Actually, there were some methods that could have led to faster research and some more worthwhile areas to explore, but Hexi, considering Han Fei's emphasis on this matter, ultimately adopted a conservative approach.
"Although that planet is preliminarily identified as suitable, we still don't know the more detailed situation, such as whether there's a local civilization or what kind of creatures inhabit it. It will take at least a few days using drones and personnel to gather more information."
"Additionally, regarding the prototype Portal Gun, I've only figured out some of its usage methods so far. There are still many issues within it, and I need to continue my in-depth research."
Finally, Hexi said this to Han Fei.
Han Fei nodded, looking at the portal, but then he turned and asked, "By the way, how's the research on NZT-48 coming along?"
"..."
Hexi, who hadn't rested for a full week, working 24/7, didn't feel tired, but at this moment, she inexplicably felt angry.
Just annoyed.
"..."
She didn't speak, turned her head, and continued adjusting the equipment with her hands.
Han Fei didn't get a response and turned his head back in confusion.
He saw Hexi, looking unhappy, "working" on the equipment with slightly rough movements.
He chuckled.
"Secretary Hexi, are you free tomorrow? I heard the food street is having a food festival tomorrow, with lots of dishes you can't usually eat. Want to give it a try?"
Hexi's movements suddenly stopped, and her gem-like eyes flickered over.
"You have time?"
Han Fei didn't reply, just shrugged.
"Okay, what time tomorrow? Can we stay the whole day?"
In the blink of an eye, Hexi was in front of Han Fei, asking with anticipation.
At this moment, she really looked like a child~
Han Fei smiled knowingly, "Seven in the morning, just in time for breakfast. The whole day."
Receiving the answer, Hexi's face bloomed with a smile.
Like a proud plum blossom in the cold snow, or like a thousand flowers blooming in competition.
"Alright, you go back first. I'll finish this up."
The next second, Hexi returned to her cool, high-achieving scholar persona.
"Mm, right, remember NZT."
Han Fei instructed.
"Got it, got it!!"
The food at the food festival could only be described as average.
It was far from as delicious as what could be made with the cookware from the Little Chef world back home.
As for snacks.
What you eat is the excitement.
It's the atmosphere here.
It's like the difference between eating alone and two people fighting over food.
The feeling is completely different.
So, Hexi and Han Fei both ate quite a bit.
They ate their way from the start of the street to the end, and then from the end back to the start.
"Wow~ This is so good."
Finishing the last skewer of spicy meatballs, Hexi licked her lips, her face full of aftertaste.
Han Fei handed her a tissue, "Alright, wipe your mouth."
"Hehe."
