Genius Club-Chapter 521 - 89: Little Note (27k Monthly Ticket Bonus)_2

Although one’s courage is definitely greater in a dream, there’s no need to consider the consequences of failure.

But at present, whether from Huang Que’s account, or the actions of Jask and Kevin Walker, it’s evident that this Space-Time Particle is not simple.

Chu Anqing was right.

Knowing that failing to capture this Space-Time Particle would be disastrous, with the whole world suffering a billion times over, they should certainly make the effort.

On the ground, they had already studied the structure of the Skyspace Aircraft’s equipment cabin.

The cabin storing the folded Mechanical Arm, in fact, was connected to the equipment cabin they were in, separated by a single cabin door.

According to the original plan that was proceeding smoothly,

This content is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.

after Gao Yang had captured the Space-Time Particle with the rice cooker, the Mechanical Arm would retract and then fold back into the cabin, with the exterior cabin door closing.

Subsequently, once the pressure was balanced, the inner cabin door would open, and they would be able to take the rice cooker out of the equipment cabin directly.

"I’ll go with An Qing,"

Lin Xian said,

"I certainly wouldn’t be at ease if An Qing went alone. The Mechanical Arm Cabin can fit two people, so let’s go together."

"This way, when An Qing is holding the rice cooker to capture the Space-Time Particle, I can also support her from behind, helping her stabilize, making it a bit safer."

In the end...

Even if Wei Cheng tried hard to dissuade them,

Huang Que was still the commander, and he had to follow Huang Que’s orders.

"Close the connecting door between the equipment cabin and the passenger cabin, everyone put on your spacesuits, ensure the internal pressure is stable, lock the helmet visors to avoid accidental opening,"

Huang Que directed everyone to lock all their helmet visors:

"Now the equipment cabin has normal atmospheric pressure, but outside at an altitude of 40,000 meters, the air is thin and the pressure extremely low. If there is any accident, under the huge pressure difference, we might all be sucked directly out of the Skyspace Aircraft and thrown into the high-altitude air, which would be dangerous."

"So, starting now, everybody’s spacesuit functions are fully activated. We will voluntarily reduce the pressure in the equipment cabin to match the outside, ensuring that when Lin Xian and Chu Anqing leave the cabin later, even if inside and outside are connected, there won’t be any turbulent airflow caused by pressure chaos."

"Of course, this is a preparation for the worst-case scenario. The things I’ve mentioned may not happen, but we have to be ready for the worst and hook both safety ropes of the spacesuit onto the internal fixtures."

...

Above the equipment room, in the Mechanical Arm Cabin, about two meters in length, one meter in width and roughly one and a half meters in depth,

if it were the Mechanical Arm, it could definitely intermittently open both the exterior and interior cabin doors without causing an imbalance in air pressure and turbulent flow.

But now Lin Xian and Chu Anqing were going to leave together, occupying much more space than the Mechanical Arm and not to mention the Mechanical Arm itself was also folded inside, taking up a considerable part of the space.

Therefore,

there wasn’t much space left for Lin Xian and Chu Anqing to move around.

They could only open both the interior and exterior cabin doors at the same time, directly connecting the internal and external spaces and climbing up.

If they didn’t balance the internal and external pressures beforehand, there would definitely be major problems.

No wonder Wei Cheng opposed the plan so strongly...

At this moment,

every step they took was like walking on a knife’s edge, licking blood off the blade.

Hiss————

A piercing hissing noise.

Everyone’s spacesuits slowly inflated like balloons, everyone resembling the Michelin Man.

This was due to the deliberate lowering of the equipment cabin’s pressure.

Inside the spacesuit, there was standard atmospheric pressure, but the equipment cabin and the connected outer space at 40,000 meters altitude had only one percent of the standard atmospheric pressure. It was like the effect on a balloon; the space suits immediately inflated.

"Senior Lin Xian, let’s go,"

Came Chu Anqing’s voice through the intercom inside the tightly sealed space helmet.

And at that moment, Chu Anqing stood in front of Lin Xian.

Two safety ropes from their spacesuits locked them together, and then, once they were really out of the cabin and standing atop the Skyspace Aircraft, there would be two additional ropes each to secure them against the inner walls of the Mechanical Arm Cabin, ensuring absolute safety.

"Okay, let’s move out."

With their spacesuits pressed against each other, they proceeded one after the other up the steps of the equipment cabin, entering the inner cabin door, arriving at the Mechanical Arm Cabin.

Looking up...

Above, the background of the dark universe persisted, the stars still twinkled.

In the Third Dreamland, Lin Xian had ascended to 35,000 meters altitude in the stratosphere using a helium balloon. Now, the altitude of the Skyspace Aircraft was about 43,000 meters.

A few thousand meters higher, but the feeling was not vastly different.

Luckily, the winds in the stratosphere were smooth, and with the Skyspace Aircraft flying with the wind, the felt wind speed was only about ten or so meters per second, which wasn’t severe.

Click! Click!

Lin Xian fastened the ropes from their spacesuits to the inner wall fixings:

"All right, we’re safe now, at least we won’t fall. Let’s start capturing the Space-Time Particle."

Now,

Lin Xian and Chu Anqing stood one behind the other, inside the Mechanical Arm Cabin.

Lin Xian’s thighs and Chu Anqing’s waist down were inside the cabin, while the rest of their bodies were exposed to the atmosphere.

Chu Anqing held the open rice cooker with both hands, directing Wei Cheng to pilot the Skyspace Aircraft through the intercom, all the while keeping her eyes on the Space-Time Particle drawing steadily closer...

Like a frog about to flick out its tongue to catch a fly, with an arrow nocked, ready and waiting.

Lin Xian supported Chu Anqing from behind.

This scene...

Although it seemed somewhat inappropriate to think of such things at this moment,

Lin Xian felt, this scene was really quite like the one from "Titanic," where Jack and Rose stood at the bow of the ship, facing into the wind.
