Pei Xi's current situation is very serious, but no matter how low the chance of recovery is, even if it is only one in a thousand, Lu Yan will not give up.

But they are still facing a serious problem - fuel.

The smart butler has calculated the fuel once before. If it is just to send Lu Yan and He Huai back to the main star, the fuel is absolutely sufficient now.

Now besides the two of them, there are still six people alive, and the fuel consumed must be more than two people.

He Huai had already thought about this problem, he asked the smart housekeeper to recalculate, and finally came to a conclusion that if the Assel wanted to return safely, seven people was the limit.

This means that one person is here to wait for the landing salt their second rescue.

Lu Yan frowned heavily, "Arrange my mother to the Assel first, and as for who will stay here, give them 10 minutes to discuss at most."

Although this decision was difficult to make, his patience was only 10 minutes, and Lu Yan didn't want Pei Xi to suffer here for a second longer.

Ever since meeting Pei Xi, Lu Yan's mood has been between depression and anxiety.

He Huai looked at the wrinkles between Omega's brows, and quietly released some pheromones, and the pheromones of Alpha were like a big hand, gently stroking the back of his neck.

Lu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, the depression in his heart eased a lot, and he regained a lot of sanity.

At this time, the door of the master bedroom opened, Lu Yan turned around and saw Pei Luming coming out of the room, and he said to Lu Yan, "Mom is awake."

After a light sleep, Pei Xi's mental state was still not good, but she was able to take off the breathing mask.

Lu Yan entered the room, squatted halfway in front of Pei Xi's bed, felt the temperature of her forehead, she still had a high fever.

Lu Yan tore off a piece of anti-fever tape, stuck it to Pei Xi's forehead, and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

Pei Xi's face was pale, but with a smile in her eyes, she shook her head.

Lu Yan took Pei Xi's hand and discussed with her, "You are in a bad situation now, we have to leave here quickly, but the fuel is only enough for seven people now, and the other person needs to stay here temporarily."

Hearing this, the person on the bed said, "There is fuel here."

Lu Yan was stunned for a moment. More than ten years have passed, and the fuel of this starship has not been exhausted yet?

Pei Xi smiled and said, "I didn't believe your father said you had no physical talent before, but now I believe it. You underestimate the creativity of a scientific researcher."

They wanted to go back a long time ago, so they started to make their own fuel more than ten years ago.

Pei Xi catalyzes a large amount of hydrogen gas from the atmosphere of star NE11T, which will react chemically with the starship fuel, and can produce 7 kilograms of fuel per hour, which is expected to fill the starship fuel tank in 12 years.

However, the extraction of hydrogen from the atmosphere requires the substances in the fuel as catalysts. The fuel is produced and consumed at the same time, so 12 years is only an ideal number.

Even if Lu Yan doesn't come today, at most one year later, they can return to the main star on this starship.

Seeing the look in Pei Xi's eyes, Lu Yan also laughed. He remembered that his parents had a small quarrel because of this matter.

When Lu Yan was young, Pei Xi thought that he would inherit her mantle and follow the path of scientific research, while his father Lu Zhengming felt that he should join the army and serve the country based on his physical talent.

Compared with scientific research, Lu Yan prefers starship ordnance. After learning about his ideas, Pei Xi bought him a box of starship models.

It took them two months to build the model.

But that model was lost by Lu Yan when he was in Garbage Star. At that time, he fled with He Huai who had a high fever, and he didn't dare to go back to get it. Until now, he still hasn't found the model.

Lu Yan got up to hug Pei Xi, "Since there is enough fuel, let's go now."

Pei Xi lightly waved at Lu Yan, "The transfer of fuel will take some time, don't worry, just call them over and ask them what they want."

"it is good."

Lu Yan went out and called everyone over.

Lu Yan didn't stay to listen to their discussion, but asked Pei Luming to take him to see the fuel.

The smart housekeeper has already brought the starship over, and Lu Yan discussed with He Huai how to transfer the fuel of the old starship safely and quickly.

While the two of them were discussing, Pei Luming quietly observed the interior of the Assel.

In Pei Luming's memory, the starship he lived in was not complete for a day. In order to survive better, the adults would remodel the starship every once in a while, and all the equipment was dismantled.

This place is completely different from the starship Pei Lumen knew.

Lu Yan glanced at Pei Luming from the corner of his eye, and saw that he was carefully looking at every inch of this place, like a curious baby, but he didn't show surprise on his face like other people.

He calmly absorbs novel things from the outside world, just like a computer that is adding new functions, it only absorbs knowledge without human emotions.

Looking at the calm face, Lu Yan slowly smoothed the line of his lips.

When Pei Luming looked over, Lu Yan looked away, but a trace of irritability appeared between his brows.

He Huai noticed Lu Yan's subtle attitude towards Pei Luming early in the morning - Pei Luming is also called Pei Xi's mother, and he is somewhat similar to Lu Yan, but he is not pure Asian.

Lu Yan's parents are both Asian, so it is impossible to give birth to a mixed-race child.

The birth of Pei Luming meant that Pei Xi had been hurt in the past, and this was the reason why Lu Yan was really depressed.

He Huai held Lu Yan with his slender fingers, squeezed his fingers in the palm of his hand, and stroked the four marks on the palm of the omega with his fingertips.

Lu Yan pursed his lips tightly and turned his head away, as if to reject He Huai's smooth hair, but he didn't pull his hand back.

After transferring the fuel to the fuel tank of the Axel, Lu Yan and the others returned to the old starship.

Pei Xi had finished talking with the other four survivors, and finally two of them decided to stay on NE11T.

Now that Pei Xi and the others are still charged with treason, once the news of their return is leaked, the alliance government will definitely take action.

So Lu Yan didn't think much about it, thinking that these two people didn't want to go back because they were worried about being wanted by the alliance government.

Pei Xi leaned against the head of the bed, and she said to Lu Yan, "Yanyan, there is something I want to talk to you alone before I leave."

Lu Yan didn't want to delay for a second, "I'll take you back to the Assel first, and we'll talk later."

Pei Xi's pale face was full of dignity, "This matter can only be discussed here."

Seeing her insistence, Lu Yan didn't refuse any more, and said to He Huai, "You take them back to the starship first, and we'll go there right away."

He Huai let out an 'hmm'.

What Pei Xi said was to talk to Lu Yan alone, but Pei Luming didn't stay, so he took a look at Pei Xi before leaving with He Huai.

He Huai had already walked out of the room, and Pei Xi's gaze was still on him. Her mother's intuition made her keenly aware that this person had an unusual relationship with his son.

It wasn't until He Huai disappeared that Pei Xi looked away. She didn't rush to ask Lu Yan about He Huai, but talked about something more important.

Pei Xi asked Lu Yan, "Do you know what the subject I studied before?"

Lu Yan nodded, "I know, you are studying the topic of stabilizing radioactive metals with dark media."

Pei Xi smiled wryly, "This used to be the thing I was most proud of, but now I regret it, because it has harmed many people, including your father."

Lu Yan's heart seemed to be grasped violently by a pair of big hands, his chest heaved twice, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

He got up and said, "Mom, let's not talk about this, let's get out of here first."

Pei Xi held Lu Yan down, "I asked you to stay because I wanted to discuss your father's affairs with you. As you grow up, I think you have the right to participate in this decision."

Lu Yan looked at Pei Xi in puzzlement, and then he heard Pei Xi say an amazing news——

"That piece of synthetic radioactive metal is on star NE11T."

Lu Yan couldn't believe it, "Didn't it be..."

Pei Xi shook her head, with a sour feeling in her throat, "No, it wasn't taken away by your father, we were all cheated."

Lu Yan carried Pei Xi back to the Assel, and He Huai had already vacated the master bedroom.

Pei Xi was very weak. During the conversation between the two of them, she vomited blood once, and Lu Yan gave her an injection of painkiller.

Without the torment of pain, Pei Xi fell into a deep sleep.

Her long, black and smooth hair was now black and white, and the ends of her hair were as dry as lifeless withered grass. Her face was extremely thin, and the corners of her eyes and brows were sickly.

Lu Yan looked at Pei Xi for a long time before leaving the room.

He Huai had been waiting for him outside the door. As soon as Lu Yan came out, He Huai handed over a bottle of nutrition, and the two of them walked into the study.

He Huai felt that Lu Yan had something to say to him, but the other party didn't speak for a long time, and kept staring at the nutritional supplement in his hand.

Ten minutes later, Lu Yan opened the nutrient solution, said with a straw in his mouth, "If you want to know anything, just ask."

He Huai asked what he was most concerned about, "Did your mother tell you what happened back then?"

Lu Yan lowered his eyes and let out an 'hmm'. He drank the nutrient solution in three or five gulps, and threw it into the silver trash can.

Lu Yan looked sideways at He Huai, and said seriously, "My father did not commit treason, nor did my mother."

He Huai: "I have always believed in this matter."

Lu Yan didn't speak, and cast his eyes away, staring at the half-circle white seal on the nail. After a long time, he said softly, "This matter is very complicated, but it's not as originally imagined..."

More than 20 years ago, Pei Xi published a paper on dark matter, which immediately caused a great sensation. The following year, the government funded the establishment of a dark matter physics laboratory.

In the fourth year, the laboratory made major discoveries, and the government paid more attention to this project, constantly adding top talents to it.

In addition to physicists and mathematicians, there are also senior consultants such as radiochemistry, nuclear chemistry, and nuclear engineers.

Pei Xi just wants to confirm whether the dark medium can stabilize radioactive metals and increase the number of fission protons.

But the subsequent development was more and more out of her control, and they began to further research on nuclear weapon manufacturing.

Dark media are very dangerous, and the toxicity of synthetic radioactive metals may exceed polonium, the most toxic substance known.

Pei Xi didn't want to synthesize this kind of radioactive metal, because human beings know too little about dark media, and no one can predict what will happen in the experiment.

She just wants to draw a conclusion in a scientific and safe way, not really want to synthesize such a substance, or even use it in nuclear.

Her research is to open the door of dark medium matter for human beings, and she is not in a hurry to let the characteristics of dark medium matter serve human beings.

Finding something wrong, Pei Xi responded layer by layer to her superiors, but the news was ignored, and the experiment was still going on. In a fit of anger, Pei Xi chose to leave the laboratory.

There were several experts who left with her, and everyone thought this experiment was too crazy.

In order to prevent the experiment, Pei Xi visited the then President Brewer many times, but only once did he actually meet him in person.

It took Pei Xi more than ten minutes to let Brewer know the danger of this experiment, and the other party said that he would conduct relevant investigations, and if it was true, the experiment would definitely be stopped.

With the President's attention, Pei Xi thought that this matter would finally have a good result.

Unexpectedly, half a year later, the laboratory exploded, causing the destruction of a city.

The radiation released by the laboratory has even affected the entire planet. Now it is no longer the home of human beings, but a paradise for radiation extremophiles.

Until now, the government will send heavily armed troops to investigate the radiation-filled planet.

After hearing the news, Pei Xi quickly made appointments with those experts who opposed the experiment in the past.

Because all the data was destroyed in the experiment, only they know some detailed data, especially Pei Xi.

Soon they were met by the president. The president said that he would pursue the responsibility to the end, and hinted to them that this matter had something to do with the royal family.

The president is in charge of government affairs, and the royal family is in charge of the army, but the royal family has long been rotten, and there are many political factions in the army.

The education Pei Xi received made her skeptical about the existence of the royal family, and she believed Brewer's statement.

After hearing Lu Yan's mother's evaluation of the royal family, He Huai, a quasi-noble, said quietly, "As long as it is politics, it is the same, regardless of the royal family and the so-called democratic president."

The standard He Huai received since he was a child was an aristocratic education. Hearing his words 'the so-called democratic president', Lu Yan gave him a sideways glance.

"Yes, we are citizens under the so-called democracy." Lu Yan slumped, and said, "Forgot, in your eyes we are called Ping-Min."

Seeing that Lu Yan had risen to class confrontation, He Huai hurriedly said, "I mean, the interstellar democratic government and the royal family are not clean, so don't be prejudiced, and individual cases should be treated individually."

For example, he grew up with Lu Yan. It is still necessary to let Lu Yan's mother know about this situation.

Lu Yan rolled his eyes.

He Huai didn't want to continue with this sharp question, and asked Lu Yan, "Then what happened later? Why did the former president take away your mother and the others?"

From just now, he felt that something was wrong with this president. He didn't believe that Brewer was really the embodiment of justice.

Brewer's statement was to protect Pei Xi and the others. After all, they are the only ones who know about it now, and the royal family is likely to be against them.

In fact, at that time, Brewer had already figured out the escape route. The laboratory exploded, and tens of thousands of lives died in this disaster.

Because it was Brewer who signed the lab to continue.

The interstellar president, a high-level military officer, and an arms dealer, these three parties are involved in a very high amount of money and power transactions.

After the incident was revealed, Brewer kidnapped Pei Xi and his top technicians.

In order to escape smoothly and divert the target of investigation, Brewer spread rumors that synthetic radioactive metals would be dropped on the main star.

The order Lu Yan's father received at that time was to safely bring the radioactive metal back to the main star and hand it over to Brewer himself, and don't trust the military.

In fact, that piece of synthetic radioactive metal had already been used by Brewer as a bargaining chip for a comeback, and he brought it on his private starship.

The box that Lu Zhengming took was just an ordinary piece of metal. He did not commit treason, and he strictly followed the orders of the interstellar supreme leader.

It's just that what Lu Zhengming didn't know was that the real traitor was the president who was full of benevolence and morality, so he didn't hand over the box to He Huai's father until his death.

Pei Xi didn't know Brewer's true face until the starship was forced to land on the desolate star.

However, in the fifth year of star NE11T, she personally killed Brewer, avenging her husband and such an innocent sacrificer.

In the outside world, these scientific researchers may be fooled by some profit-oriented politicians, but on the barren planet, only those who have mastered the most advanced technology can survive.

Humans are so fragile that a single bullet can end their life.

Humans are also powerful. On this barren and desolate planet, like weeds in the desert, they survived with wisdom and strong creativity.

He Huai did not speak for a long time.

Before that, he had imagined countless possibilities, but he never thought that his father killed Lu Yan's father because of an 'oolong'.

It's no wonder that Pei Luming and the others easily let Lu Yan in with him, because they didn't betray their own country, and they weren't afraid that people from the alliance government would find them.

Lu Yan lowered his eyes, "My mother left the evidence proving her innocence and my father's innocence on NE11T."

Needless to say, Lu Yan, He Huai also knew what it was - the radioactive metal synthesized from dark media.

One of the things Pei Xi regrets the most is to tell the world about the properties of dark media and let some people use it to kill.

So she didn't want to bring this murderous metal back, but she would only do so with Lu Yan's consent.

Because he is Lu Zhengming's son, he has the right to keep that piece of metal and hand it over to the alliance government to prove that his father is not a traitor.

Lu Zhengming obeyed a wrong order, but he himself didn't know it was a mistake.
