Off the eastern coast of Mi Country, in the sky, 230 kilometers up in the atmosphere.
The retro thrusters in the front of the Skyspace Aircraft continuously emitted gas, decelerating.
In this thin layer of atmosphere, the pearl-white Skyspace Aircraft seemed to move slowly, but in fact, zoomed swiftly past the coastline of Mi Country, heading for the Atlantic Ocean.
Wei Cheng was utterly focused, exerting his lifetime’s best in piloting this Skyspace Aircraft without navigation, signals, guidance, radar, or positioning.
He was confident.
Since this Skyspace Aircraft had emerged from the factory, he had been the first to sit in it.
Little White.
...
That was the name he had given this vital piece of equipment for his country.
“Since it’s a secret, and the real name and model aren’t disclosed, let’s call it Little White!”
That was the offhand comment Wei Cheng made when he first saw the Skyspace Aircraft, and unexpectedly, the name stuck.
Wei Cheng was China’s ace astronaut, who had completed over a dozen space missions.
Aside from spacewalks, he had performed all kinds of space missions and was highly decorated for his exploits.
It was for these reasons, along with his superior flying skills, that he had been selected through a rigorous national process to become the pilot of China’s first Skyspace Aircraft.
It was a unique honor.
At the same time.
It was also a unique responsibility.
He didn’t know how many days and nights he had spent in this cramped cockpit, relying on Little White.
Reliance for survival.
Little White represented the heavy responsibility and expectations entrusted to him by his country.
Little White was his life, Wei Cheng’s very existence!
“Stay steady, Little White.”
Wei Cheng gritted his teeth, his gaze unwavering, looking through the aircraft’s windshield at the dark universe outside, as well as the earthy terrain below that looked like a blend of modeling clay and watercolor—the land, ocean, and clouds.
He had become one 1% after another!
The pilot of the only Skyspace Aircraft in the whole of China!
“I am the chosen one...”
Wei Cheng clenched the control stick tightly:
“And the only one!”
Whoo—
In the boundless space.
At the very edge of Earth.
In Wei Cheng’s resolute gaze, the Skyspace Aircraft, having lost everything, soared into the sunrise, toward the other side of the Earth.
It headed.
Towards the visitor from afar, belonging not to this world, this universe, this realm of space and time.
...
In the equipment bay.
Lin Xian, Huang Que, Gao Yang, and Chu Anqing stood in a circle.
“The Space-Time Particle Mini Tracker that Liu Feng has can be used properly, so we haven’t lost track of the Space-Time Particle, and we now have navigational direction.
This doesn’t affect our original capture plan,” Huang Que said, turning to Gao Yang.
“In a little over an hour, we’ll meet with the Space-Time Particle at the boundary of the Atlantic Ocean.
It appears the minimum speed of the Space-Time Particle is Mach 0.97, and it hasn’t slowed down for a long time.
This speed is very suitable for us.
At that moment, this Skyspace Aircraft will start its material engine and fly parallel to the Space-Time Particle at Mach 0.97.”
“Then it will be your time to shine, Gao Yang.
After all our hard work, whether this plan succeeds ultimately depends on whether you can catch that Space-Time Particle with the rice cooker.”
Gao Yang nodded, giving a thumbs up, indicating he had no problem.
