Genius Club-Chapter 520 - 89: Little Note (27k Monthly Ticket Bonus)
"This is impossible!"
Wei Cheng’s shout came directly through the radio channel:
"Skyspace Aircraft aren’t equipped for extravehicular activities, not to mention you haven’t received any training. High-altitude extravehicular activity is extremely dangerous! We’re not in the weightlessness of outer space right now but deep within the 40,000-meter atmospheric layer. There’s wind here, gravity, and it’s a super-low temperature environment outside."
"Exiting the cabin is absolutely impossible! It’s tantamount to seeking death! Even if your body balance and coordination training scores are very high, exiting the cabin for operations at an altitude of 40,000 meters in the atmosphere... no one has ever done this before! No astronaut or pilot has managed to do it, let alone with a Skyspace Aircraft!"
"But there’s no other way now!"
Chu Anqing’s voice trembled:
"We... we can’t just watch as the Space-Time Particle vanishes, can we?"
Click.
She popped open the visor of her astronaut suit helmet, looking at the shocked people inside the cabin:
"To catch this Space-Time Particle, everyone has worked so hard for so long, made so many sacrifices... yet I alone have done nothing and have been of no help at all... Now, when I finally have a use, this is the only thing I can do!"
Chu Anqing turned her head and looked at Liu Feng:
"Teacher Liu Feng, do you remember what you told me in the laboratory at East Sea University? You said... not to easily deny my own value, it’s just that the time for me to play a role hadn’t come yet; sometimes, it doesn’t matter if you’re wrong your entire life, for some critically important things being right just once in your life is enough."
"You told me that in this world, there is definitely one thing that is prepared for me, created for me, that only I can do. Aside from me... no one else will do."
She looked at the speechless and stuttering Liu Feng:
"Teacher Liu Feng, I think... now is the time you spoke of, when I realize the value of my life and play my role. Exiting the cabin to catch that Space-Time Particle is that one thing in the world that only I can do and no one else!"
Having said that.
Chu Anqing turned towards Lin Xian:
"Sorry, Senior Lin Xian, I overheard what you and Elder Sister Huang Que said just now... You said that if we don’t catch the Space-Time Particle this time, the world, all of this, will become a thousand times, no, ten thousand times worse than it is now."
"If... if this Space-Time Particle is truly that important, and right now I am the only one on the Skyspace Aircraft who can see it... then it should be me to go! I can’t... I can’t always hide behind you, merely cheering you on, only serving as a mascot, can I?"
"Just now, you and Teacher Liu Feng were both rushing to get in contact with the Space-Time Particle, wasn’t that even more dangerous than exiting the cabin to catch it? But neither of you were afraid, so I am not afraid either! I can’t always shrink behind you because I am young and a girl... and do nothing, can I?"
In the end.
She turned again, looking at Huang Que:
"Elder Sister Huang Que..."
She bit her lower lip, her expression complex as she looked at Huang Que:
"Please, let me go. You originally called me here... wasn’t it for this moment?"
Huang Que’s eyes were tightly closed, her brows furrowed.
In the end, she nodded:
"Prepare... to exit the cabin!"
"Hey, are you insane!" Gao Yang came straight over from his operator’s seat, pointing at Huang Que:
"I’ve always felt you were too heartless! You don’t care about us at all! All you care about is the Space-Time Particle!"
"Enough."
Lin Xian held Gao Yang back, stopping him from getting angry with Huang Que.
Huang Que’s eyes indeed held only the Space-Time Particle, and she had calculated even the disappearance of VV for the sake of ensuring its capture.
She hid many truths and deceived many people, tacitly allowing many things to happen despite knowing better.

But in the end.
[The one who wants the Space-Time Particle, is myself.]
As Huang Que said, the people gathered here today came not for Huang Que but for themselves.
"I’ve given it some thought," Lin Xian turned back to look at Liu Feng and Gao Yang:
"It’s true that the Skyspace Aircraft isn’t equipped for extravehicular activities in outer space, but I’ve felt... ah no, I’ve understood what it’s like to be exposed to the high altitude of thirty or forty thousand meters. It’s dangerous, yes, but it’s not as terrifying as it seems."
"The stratosphere’s winds are gentle and the airflow is not chaotic. We are even flying with the wind now, and with the wind speed offset by the aircraft’s speed, the actual wind speed outside the Skyspace Aircraft isn’t that great. As for the issue of the super-low temperature, we’re all wearing astronaut suits with highly advanced equipment that can maintain body temperature and pressure, so there’s no need to worry about that."
"Furthermore, the cabin of that mechanical arm has been studied by us on the ground before; it’s recessed by more than a meter deep. As long as Wei Cheng flies steadily, standing inside that mechanical arm cabin is similar to ascending in a hot air balloon. There are many people in the world who have ascended in hot air balloons to thirty or forty thousand meters. Add to that the safety tether ropes that we can lock onto the inner cabin wall, and we’re actually much safer than those extreme sport athletes."
"No!" Hearing Lin Xian’s grandiose explanation, Wei Cheng, the pilot of the Skyspace Aircraft, got angry right away:
"Lin Xian, all of this is pure theory from you! Have you actually practiced it? Do you have any idea what it means to operate at tens of thousands of meters high?"
Lin Xian sighed inwardly.
How could he not know?
In the Third Dreamland, hadn’t he ridden helium balloons up to altitudes of twenty or thirty thousand meters every day and then jumped down in an astronaut suit to infiltrate Sky City?
