From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword

When they returned to the Flame Emblem Headquarters, Xie Shi'en got out of the car first to enter the building and reassure his teammates as well as the elders from various families.

After all, Lu Heng had been taken away by the military, and his arrival was very formal.

It was only because Jian Qing was the one who came, so no rough methods were used upon departure, but such a spectacle would definitely cause Lu Heng's parents to worry.

On the way back, Lu Heng had already called his parents not to worry.

After Xie Shi'en went upstairs, Lu Heng stayed in the car a little longer.

"Is there something else?" Jian Qing sensed he had something to say.

"I've additional information to provide. Something happened when we returned from the Sikes Civilization, so you might not be aware of it," Lu Heng started.

"Go ahead," Jian Qing sensed from his tone that the matter was serious.

"The Creator Organization's raiding team attacked the Sikes Civilization's Antimatter Research Institute half an hour before our return. You understand what this implies?" Lu Heng revealed the intelligence.

Jian Qing's expression immediately became stern.

For humans, antimatter is a particle that has been discovered but is far from being harnessed.

Scientifically, antimatter is the opposite state of normal matter.

On Blue Star, electrons have a negative charge, protons have a positive charge.

Before the discovery of antimatter, it was believed that the positive and negative charges of protons and electrons were natural laws.

Until scientists discovered positrons, which bear a positive charge, leading to the discovery of antimatter.

Positrons and antiprotons are antiparticles, which compared to the usual electrons and protons, have equal electric charge but opposite properties.

Normally, antimatter cannot exist in nature.

This is because when matter and antimatter meet, they annihilate each other, resulting in an explosion that releases vast energy.

That is, when a positron enters the atmosphere of Blue Star and meets an electron, an explosion occurs—the particles annihilate and release tremendous energy.

Due to this property, if technology were to advance to create and store antimatter, its explosive force would be hundreds of times greater than that of a nuclear bomb.

The advent of nuclear bombs last century shocked the world.

The power of an antimatter bomb would be more than three hundred times that of a nuclear bomb, a difference in orders of magnitude.

This means that, in this era, whoever controls antimatter technology could, like those who controlled nuclear bombs in the previous century, possess the power to conquer the world.

Although Jian Qing was not a researcher, she knew what antimatter was and understood the power such technology could confer.

Thus, her expression was one of great shock as she urgently asked, "Did they succeed?"

If the Creator Organization's raiding team had succeeded in acquiring antimatter technology, the consequences would be dire.

Lu Heng shook his head, "No, they did not succeed. Their ambitions were too great. I had thought their target might be some other technological weapon, but they went straight for antimatter."

Antimatter technology is considered cutting-edge even in Sikes Civilization because it is in the same class as anti-gravity technology, both are Level 2.0 technologies.

That is to say, the Sikes Civilization was also just in the research phase and had not yet deployed it.

The ambitions of the Creator Organization were far greater than originally thought, and much more so.

Jian Qing, relieved that the Creator Organization had not succeeded, commented, "I will report this intelligence. I was not aware of this during my time in Sikes Civilization; it was a lapse on my part."

She was a bit annoyed with herself since she was the team leader appointed by the nation.

She had led a team to Sikes Civilization and the resources and intelligence she gathered were far less than what Lu Heng had.

Lu Heng added, "The Creator Organization may not be as neutral as it appears on the surface. This organization has tried to control the political situation in Fusang and has taken control of one of the top ten biopharmaceutical companies in the world, pushing for the legalization of the Superpower Potion.

"Plus, this time with antimatter technology, if they had succeeded, I can't imagine what the consequences would be."

Jian Qing nodded, "Understood, I will relay this intelligence to my superiors. It will be handled."

She paused, then added, "There's no issue with your situation now, but the organization still needs to hold a meeting to finalize the decision. According to the protocol, you should not leave Coastal until the result is determined."

Lu Heng nodded in agreement, "Understood."

Jian Qing got out of the car first and opened the car door for Lu Heng, "Alright, I've brought you here. You should go back, your aunt and uncle must be worried."

Had someone else come for Lu Heng, the situation might have been ugly.

She invited Lu Heng to headquarters for a talk in a very amicable way because she was concerned about affecting Lu Heng's parents.

Lu Heng waved goodbye to her. When he returned to Quenching Castle, he realized he had overthought the situation.

He could hear his mother's hearty laughter from afar, her sociability off the charts.

Lu Heng's mother was the kind of person who got along very well with neighbors and friends, always laughing and chatting.

Even in a new environment, she could quickly blend into new circles.

Of course, it was not true to say she was not worried; Li Xiuyun was very concerned, but worrying was futile, and she had full confidence in her son.

Having just received another call from Lu Heng, she completely relaxed, chatting and laughing with Su Mu, audible even from outside.
