The huge fleet flying at an angle of 32 degrees, after eight years of acceleration from the outside, had reached the limit of the entire fleet. In the words of Earthlings, the time difference between the inside and the outside was like a day.
The time standard within the fleet had been unified by Chi and the five sequences to be measured in the smallest unit of time. In fact, when the technology of the Star Race reached a certain level, they would abandon the original unit of time and adopt the standard minimum time scale.
The size and mass of the planet that each race was born on were different. The rotation period of the planet and the period of the planet around the star were also different. The system of time was even more varied. For example, the planet of the Homo sapiens did not even have a revolution.
Their concept of time originally came from the cycle of underground lava eruptions. Later, because of Fang Mingcheng, after entering the industrial era, they changed to the same unit of time as Earthlings.
However, once they arrived in the Star Race, the original unit of time derived from the birth planet was not enough. When life evolved to a certain extent and completely adapted to the lifestyle of the Star Race, the descendants would forget the biological laws on the planet of origin. "Day" and "year" became units that could not be accurately measured and communicated.
Sometimes, the Star Race needed a larger unit of time, such as a long voyage across hundreds of thousands of light-years. Sometimes, they needed a smaller unit of time, such as some microscopic observations and experiments, as well as the timing of some weapons, and so on.
However, for Earthlings and the five races of the five nations, they were still far from being able to get rid of the biological habits that had lived on Earth for thousands of years. They were still used to setting their work and rest time based on the cycle of the Earth's rotation and revolution.
In the future, their descendants might completely forget the concept of "day", but for now, they still firmly used it.
According to the time view of Earthlings and the five races, the First Temple Master of the Sea Nation had been attacking the Source Gate for more than ten days.
This time could not be considered long, but of course, it could not be considered short either. According to a venerable of the Source Gate, sometimes, due to various unexpected circumstances, it would even take a few months to break the Source Gate — converted to Earth's units.
For the First Temple Master of the Sea Nation, the longer the impact time, the greater the risk, the more pain, and many other uncomfortable things. However, for the researchers, it was a good thing. They could carefully observe the changes of life from the cardinal to the Source Gate. They would not miss anything, and they might even find something special.
Therefore, they even hoped that the process would be even slower. It would be best if the process could take a few months. That way, the information they had would definitely be far more than the process that would only take a day or two.
Apart from that, a dozen or so days were nothing to the Venerables of the Origin Gate. Even a fraction of their lifespan would be enough to turn them into ashes in that amount of time.
Many of the "onlookers" had left, especially the earthlings and the five races. More than ten days were enough for them to do many things.
Ali and Ran Ran were still in the assault ship's cabin. Although he really couldn't understand it and was extremely bored, it was naturally good that he didn't have to train.
He saw that there were also a few cardinals that he was familiar with. Ba Yi, Ao Mai, and the others had unknowingly gotten closer to the position of the First Temple Master of the Sea Nation in the past ten or so days.
He didn't know why his heart suddenly skipped a beat. He had a bad feeling, as if something was about to happen, and it was not a good thing. He couldn't explain this kind of intuition, but it was the reason why he could become a sniper in the past. Now, with the opportunity given by Denglong, he had experienced many wars and honed his intuition.
This discovery made Ali suddenly feel nervous, as if he had smelled danger in the air.
Instinctively, he looked at the other loophole in Ba Yi's floating position. If something was going to happen, according to his experience, there must be someone there to block this direction.
Sure enough, he saw a Venerable of the Source Gate there!
He also knew this Venerable. His name was extremely long, and everyone called him "Gold-armored Venerable". Since the Second Battlefield, he had been going through trials and tribulations with his side, and it was said that he had a good relationship with Brother Ba Yi …
Wait, the Gold-armored Venerable seemed to have casually chosen that position, but he had completely blocked the last loophole, and was cooperating with Ba Yi from afar. What, what do they want to do!!?
Ali panicked all of a sudden and could not sit still anymore. In his mind, a terrifying word first rose up:
Rebellion!
But he had no idea who would be on the side of the rebellion. Ba Yi? How could it be? It was more likely to be the Gold-armored Venerable, but it seemed that Brother Ba Yi and the Gold-armored Venerable were now on the side, so it could only be the First Temple Master of the Sea Nation?
Ali immediately felt that it was even more impossible. Chi Wu's kindness to the First Temple Master of the Sea Nation was obvious to all, and even Ao Mai was very jealous of him. Others didn't know, but he knew a little bit because of various connections. If it was Ao Mai who rebelled, he might believe it a little, but he didn't believe it was the First Temple Master of the Sea Nation.
Maybe he was thinking too much?
But looking at the movements of Ba Yi and the others, it was definitely a sign that they were about to make a move. As a sniper, even if he was blind, his intuition was too sensitive, especially since Da Jun had specially optimized his training for this intuition.
At this time, Ali felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. Although he was floating, he felt the same. He didn't know if the others had noticed it, especially Da Jun, the commander of the fleet. If he still didn't know, the consequences would be unimaginable.
He didn't dare to make it too obvious. No matter who was on the side of the rebellion, it would be easy for them to kill him, and they might not even be able to find out the reason. He had to pretend that he didn't know and pretend that he didn't notice it.
Then, he carefully glanced at Ran Ran and noticed that the girl's brows were also slightly furrowed, as if she had noticed something. However, she probably wasn't as sure as he was. After all, not everyone was as sensitive as he was. Being able to notice something strange was already very impressive.
"Ran Ran, help me go back and get a new eye. When this eye came in, it was a little unclear. It's useless to wipe it. I think there's something wrong with it. I have to ask Da Jun to fix it another day."
Ali calmed his pounding heart and said to Ran Ran in a normal tone.
He and Ran Ran had been the leader and assistant for a long time, and they had a tacit understanding of many things. Ran Ran knew what he would say and what methods he would use. Ran Ran also knew what he would say and what hints he would use in times of danger.
In that sentence, he had already expressed what he wanted to express clearly, but it was more vague than usual, so he couldn't be sure if Ran Ran could understand the real meaning behind it.
Saying that his eye wasn't well was hinting that he had seen danger, but it was useless to wipe it. This was something that had indeed happened when he came in. First, it wouldn't arouse suspicion, and second, it was hinting that he didn't know what had happened. That was why he asked, "What's wrong with it?" And the last sentence seemed to be superfluous, hinting for Ran Ran to quickly report to Da Jun.
Ali was very nervous after he said that. If his intuition was right, this should be the time when he was in the most danger!
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, several sharp gazes immediately looked over.
He didn't dare to look at who these gazes belonged to. His fingers that were wearing the space suit were trembling slightly, and he bit his lips to prevent himself from panicking.
He wasn't actually afraid of death. After going through many battles, his mental fortitude was already very good. The panic he felt right now was caused by the pressure. He had never felt so much pressure in his life.
Ran Ran's reaction was better than his. As if she didn't understand what he said, she obeyed the order as usual and simply said, "Okay."
Watching her turn around and leave, Ali's heart almost jumped out of his throat. He was gambling with his and Ran Ran's lives. Especially Ran Ran, it was very likely that she would be killed as soon as she left the cabin door. What he could bet on was that at this time, no one would dare to kill Ran Ran. After all, the relationship between Ran Ran and Chu Yunsheng was known by many higher-ups.
However, if this was really a rebellion, this would not work at all. Ran Ran was basically going to die, and he would be the next one to die.
