Chapter 390 New Discovery

"Beep beep—" Another text message came through the computer. Jiang Hui assumed it was just another notification message related to the change in points and ignored it.

But then it vibrated twice more. Jiang Hui looked at the computer screen, puzzled, and saw that it was a new message from Stark Tang.

I was a little surprised that Jiang Hui was contacting me so late, and that she was in such a hurry to find me.
Is something going on tomorrow? Jiang Hui opened the page.

"Your father's belongings have arrived. Please leave at Y-stop area at 9:30 tomorrow morning."

Jiang Hui's steps involuntarily halted. A keepsake? It seemed that such a letter had indeed been sent before, but due to various unexpected events, he had completely forgotten about it. He didn't expect the process to have reached this point.

Jiang Hui curled her fingertips and sent a simple "OK" as a reply. She then took a few steps up to the dormitory building and entered her room at 57 minutes past the hour.

Very good, the timing is about right, just right. Jiang Hui leaned back in her chair, her eyes slightly closed, waiting for the arrival of another space.

Waking up in her familiar room, Jiang Hui was able to stand up quite easily and planned to go to the study first. There had been too many books coming in recently; it would probably fill the room in less than a year, and she didn't know what to do then.

As Jiang Hui pondered this, she slipped on her shoes and walked toward the study.

"Listen, listen, listen—" A crisp sound rang out in the usually quiet room.

Jiang Hui looked down at her feet, somewhat bewildered, and felt as if she had kicked something.

The girl looked down at her feet, where the soft light shone on the small parts, making them glow slightly, with a shimmering, glaze-like sheen on the back.

She examined it in her palm and finally confirmed that it was indeed the universal splicing belt that had been explained in the mechanical section. The length, size, shape, and even the material were just as realistic as in the real world, but Jiang Hui clearly remembered that she was in a consciousness space, where everything was actually nothingness, derived from her mental consciousness, something Jiang Hui had known from the beginning.

However, she stayed there for several months and made many attempts during that time. Apart from the items already in the house that could regenerate on their own, creating anything else required an extremely complex construction process.

Jiang Hui had tried many times, and simple objects, such as tissues, glass cups, and wooden boards, were particularly easy to simulate, especially those with similar materials in her consciousness space.

She once created patterned tissues, oddly shaped glasses, and a strange table with a slightly uneven surface. While none of them were perfect, at least they were successful, and the next time she came in, those things were still there?!
This clearly demonstrates that her idea of ​​building things in the mental space is quite feasible.

But she couldn't replicate anything too complex, especially since her understanding of the object was rather vague and she lacked a thorough knowledge of its material properties and principles. Under these circumstances, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't replicate it in her mental space. Even if she managed to create a rough prototype, it would quickly dissipate.

Therefore, aside from the initial test tube containing the potion, Jiang Hui did not construct any other interstellar-themed artifacts in her mental space. Well… that test tube might not even have been the one she had seen; it could simply have been a creation-like object made based on her old impressions of Earth.

Because Jiang Hui accidentally broke it in her consciousness space, shattering it into more than eight pieces and disappearing without a trace shortly after. But in real life, the pipe was the kind that couldn't be broken even with a hammer, so she had to send it to a recycling center for professional processing. Jiang Hui was somewhat disappointed, wondering if her mental space lacked the energy to support an interstellar creation. Until today, it seems she's finally accomplished something real—

She bent down and picked up a small, lone piece of the shaft structure lying on the ground. The material felt well-constructed, soft yet firm, with a slightly shimmering outer layer. Not long ago, she had specifically researched this quark structure called borosilicate, which has good toughness and a certain degree of resilience, making it a fairly common material used for mecha parts.

To assemble the mecha arm, she tested several other similar material versions before finally choosing this one. Therefore, she was very clear about the structure of this shaft, to the point that she could hardly believe that she had constructed it in her consciousness space, even replicating the strange curve of the head for easy access.

How exactly did she manage to replicate it? No… she needs to think about it carefully. Yes, moving forward to last night… she did spend a lot of time last night studying the structure, properties, and characteristics of this material. Then today, when she entered the space, she saw the physical form of this thing.

Could it be that the construction within the consciousness space needs to be this precise? Jiang Hui looked at the little gadget in her hand in disbelief.

"Impossible, right?" The girl's face was unusually blank as she picked up the scroll and walked towards the study.

"I was telling you, you came all the way back to the capital, I thought you'd finally decided to go back to the legion, but it turns out it was all for the same thing. You couldn't even stay a day longer before turning around and leaving. Why didn't you go and pay your respects to Major General Yusso?"

“I’ve already reported this to him. The major general is very busy, and he’s currently in the period of military rank evaluation, so it’s best not to disturb him,” Stark said calmly.

"Oh, what's the big deal? Your promotion from major general to lieutenant general is a done deal. What could you possibly be busy with? We're not on the front lines right now. Besides, even if Major General Yusso didn't point it out, you should at least pay him a visit. What kind of behavior is this, passing by without even going in?"

Stark: ...

He didn't want to continue talking to this silly guy who could say anything, but considering that if he ignored him, the guy could keep rambling on and on the whole way back, he had to reply: "The Major General told me not to go and visit him, as he happens to have a distinguished guest to receive today."

"Oh... Hmm? How come I didn't know? No, it was you who left the capital, not me. How come the Major General told you, but I, the garrison commander, didn't know?" Nierqi was a little defensive.

"Weren't you sent on a mission today?" The young man was speechless and didn't want to talk to the person anymore.

Yes, that makes sense when you think about it—Nerch received a mission from the Major General last night, saying he needed to go out to another star system today, so he was able to escort Stark back along the way; otherwise, Stark would have had to wait for the Legion's dedicated starship to return.

"Alright, stop talking nonsense and focus on the voyage." The two of them were traveling in a small military spaceship with a high speed of folding space jumps. Although it was not as safe and stable as a starship, it was very flexible and suitable for people to travel in the thinner inner galaxies.
