Chapitre 32

According to this Lin conjecture, the space in front of me is actually composed of the carriage itself, every person and piece of luggage in the carriage, and the spatial force fields of the countless particles that make up the air. Space is an attribute, not a specific thing... So, could time also be an attribute of objects?

Not long after being rescued, Lin Wen mysteriously disappeared, presumably secretly taken away by Zheng Yu. He didn't talk much about Zheng Yu, but Xiahou Ying knew a bit about him.

Lin Wen was recruited by Zheng Yu, but he didn't say, so naturally no one knew. However, Zheng Yu's hard work in developing new energy sources was actually aimed at vying for the position of the next Zheng Hai.

Zheng Hai, the current son, had only one son less than Long Shao. He had six older brothers above Zheng Yu and one younger brother below him. He was not the son most favored or valued by the old man. As Zheng Hai grew older, just like the struggle for the crown prince in the old royal family, the Zheng family was filled with open and covert struggles. If they could control the new energy source, not only would their strength increase dramatically, but their status in the old man's eyes would also be greatly different.

Although Zheng Hai's wealth was comparable to that of a nation, the inheritance he left to his eight sons before his death was limited. This limited wealth would be astronomical for ordinary people, but the expenses for developing new energy sources, building the Yi Island base, launching a lunar probe, and researching thermonuclear reactions and their practical applications left even Zheng Yu feeling financially strained. This forced him to launch the New Hope spacecraft's global fundraising tour, only to be thwarted by me. Furthermore, the Yi Island experiment, after its success, was destroyed in a massive explosion. It seems his Zheng Hai dream has come to an end.

Another previously unresolved issue—how Kou Feng infiltrated the Pacific Emerald and disembarked—I had a hunch. The Pacific Emerald's owner, Shanghai Yile Cruise Company, had foreign investment backing. This company operated at sea, so could this foreign investment be directly related to Zheng Hai, or even Zheng Yu? If so, how could anyone detect someone boarding and disembarking on their own ship?

The secret to extracting Helium-3 from the moon has now passed from my words to Guo Dong's, and has been written into a report and submitted. However, with the sinking of Yi Island, almost all non-human beings in Asia with this capability have been wiped out. Even if the government knew that there was such a method to obtain new energy, it would probably be too late to find enough people.

This grand drama, ending in this way, is a tragedy for all parties involved.

This is especially true for me.

"That sir."

I walked into my building, carrying my luggage and the dust of Hunan. Just as I was about to press the elevator button, someone called out to me.

He's a security guard at the building.

"Is there something you need?"

“Someone came looking for you while you were away.”

"Oh, did they say who they were?"

The security guard had a gossipy yet ambiguous smile on his face.

"That's the pretty young girl who stayed at your house a few days ago."
