Ready

60: Less? 39 cubic meters?

Finally!

Finally found it!

Xi Hai immediately switched the drone's perspective,

Circling the canister once,

Hmm, no one.

Next is explosive scanning... hmm, none.

What about the inside?

Just as Xi Hai was about to control the drone to take a look,

"Report!"

"Commander, you called for me?"

White Shark had, at some point, walked up beside him.

Xi Hai suddenly looked up at White Shark,

Oh, perfect, this guy's here.

He pointed at the screen and asked,

"White Shark,"

"Do you recognize this thing?"

Hearing Xi Hai's question, White Shark glanced at the screen,

Cylindrical, silver-white,

Isn't this a standard energy storage tank?

So he replied:

"Yes, I do,"

"A standard energy storage tank."

"Judging by its size, it should be the medium model with a 40 cubic meter capacity."

40 cubic meters!

So this is it!

"You said, can this thing be used to store void energy?"

"Huh—!!!???"

"What did you say??!!"

Hearing Xi Hai say the words "store void energy",

White Shark's hair immediately stood on end,

He said in horror:

"Uh... Commander,"

"You might be overestimating the technological level of our era..."

"After the Fifth Great Decay,"

"Many technologies reverse-engineered by the Voyager Federation were lost again..."

"Using something like this to store void energy..."

"You might not find any reassuring reasons from the scientific side,"

"You can only turn to the mystical side..."

"Cough cough,"

Xi Hai interrupted White Shark,

"No need to be so indirect,"

"Speak plainly, in a way that's easy to understand."

White Shark looked at Xi Hai,

Then looked at the canister again,

And said, steeling himself:

"If this thing contains void energy, it's as good as not contained at all,"

"It only gives people a psychological effect,"

"If there's even 1ML of void energy inside,"

"It's an uncontrollable void fission bomb with an unstable fuse."

Oh my god!

A bomb!

Hearing White Shark's explanation,

Xi Hai immediately became terrified—

Damn!

My fellow countryman is still performing stably!

"Commander,"

"There shouldn't be... void energy... in here, right?"

"…"

Xi Hai turned his head and stared silently at White Shark.

Looking at Xi Hai's expression,

White Shark suddenly felt like his life was complete—

There really is something in there!!!

A terrified expression immediately spread across White Shark's face—

Normal people don't know much about void energy,

Mostly limited to star marker power and weapon manufacturing,

But who is White Shark?

A top student in the United University's archaeology department!

He just happened to know that,

Storing void energy requires the combined action of a strong gravitational well and a strong magnetic field cage!

Otherwise!!!

It will explode!!!

"Commander!"

"This is a serious matter!"

"Is there a high-energy physics laboratory on the Warship?"

"I learned about simple void energy containers in my practical archaeology course at United University back then!"

"Don't touch that canister yet,"

"Give me half an hour... fifteen minutes..."

"No, give me ten minutes!"

"As long as the void energy inside doesn't exceed 500ML,"

"We still have a chance!"

Looking at the agitated White Shark,

Xi Hai first pressed his shoulder, staring into his eyes,

After a long moment,

He asked:

"Are you calm now?"

White Shark nodded,

Saying,

"I'm calm,"

"Now I'll go make the container."

"Please have the Marines guard that energy storage tank,"

"Although I don't know why it can remain stable,"

"But definitely don't stimulate it anymore!"

Xi Hai looked at White Shark, who was speaking as fast as a machine gun,

And said:

"Wait, there's actually something else I haven't told you,"

Then, he said word by word:

"What if there are thirty-nine cubic meters of void energy in there?"

"And, they are on that! ship! right across from us!"

White Shark, who had just managed to calm down, heard this, and

His heart, which had just been hanging after the first half of the sentence, finally died.

"Uh,"

"Commander,"

"You say,"

"If I write my will now,"

"Will I be able to finish it before that thing fissions?"

"…"

Xi Hai rubbed the Bridge of his nose, a headache brewing,

This might be a bit over.

At this moment,

In the drone's footage,

Several Marines, led by a man in a white headscarf—it was Salman—

Suddenly appeared in the frame—

All of the 'Saints' crew had already left the ship,

Salman kept his promise and brought them to find the void energy.

"39 cubic meters of void energy are right here."

Saying this,

Under Xi Hai's horrified gaze, he slapped the energy storage tank.

"Don't touch it!!!!"

Xi Hai couldn't care less,

He directly connected to his power armor's external loudspeaker,

Shouting loudly—

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Almost simultaneously, the slap landed on the canister,

And he even patted it a few times as if it were a melon.

It's over... Xi Hai and White Shark, beside him, closed their eyes in despair.

One second,

Two seconds,

Three seconds... nothing happened?

Xi Hai reopened his eyes,

The screen showed Salman bending over.

"What's wrong, my lord?"

"I'm just proving to you that it's full."

I'd rather it be empty!!!

Xi Hai screamed frantically in his mind,

He immediately connected to the microphone and said:

"Alright, I believe you,"

"You can step back."

Salman paused, then said, "Yes," and

Then consciously retreated to the side.

"White Shark,"

"If this canister of void energy remains stable,"

"That storage container you mentioned,"

"Can you whip up a 39 cubic meter one?"

White Shark first looked at Xi Hai, then at the large canister, over four meters tall,

He swallowed hard,

And said:

"I think,"

"You'd have better luck hoping this canister can contain the void energy,"

"Than hoping I can whip up a black hole with a super-regular magnetic field."

The Bridge instantly fell silent.

"By the way,"

"He slapped it just now, right?"

After a long moment, White Shark broke the silence,

He swallowed with difficulty,

And asked softly.

"I think so."

"…"

"How about we scan the canister first?"

"Maybe,"

"There's something we don't know about at work?"

"…"

"I think it's worth a try."

Xi Hai immediately agreed and promptly gave orders to the Marines,

Immediately,

All their attention,

Was focused on the small screen of the raised detector... (Today I got 820 Purple Coins again, aside from 2 Carrier Points and one 59 point, it's been 593 minutes without a big ship [cry])
