Astral Apostle

In addition to Huang Zhuo and He Zhifei, a few other team leaders were also interested and came to express their high hopes for Zhou Jing.

Because his performance this time was more outstanding, his current talent show market was not bad. In the eyes of the captains, he had long-term value.

Zhou Jing replied politely to the captains who came to chat.

Not long after, the team leaders finished communicating with the candidates they liked, and the inspection ended.

However, Shen Xinqin did not bring everyone away. Instead, she asked everyone to sit down. Then, she stopped the leaders who were about to leave and persuaded them to stay.

After doing this, Shen Xinqin turned to look at the puzzled students and smiled,

"Today is your first time in the Exploration Bureau, so you must have a lot of questions. These team leaders are all veterans. You can ask whatever you want to ask. As long as it's convenient to answer, they're willing to answer everyone's questions."

"We still have to give Sister Shen face."

Huang Zhuo smiled and turned to address the students,

"Anyway, you'll learn most of it in the future. As long as it's not too confidential, we'll answer it."

The students immediately perked up.

During their visit to the Exploration Bureau, they indeed had many questions of interest.

Immediately, a student raised his hand and asked, "Um… I want to ask how to return after using the shuttle device to reach the other world. According to the plane filtering phenomenon taught in class, many astral realms shouldn't be able to teleport high-tech products over…"

This question was closely related to their future safety. The students fell silent and listened.

"Not a bad question."

Huang Zhuo nodded and replied,

"Every shuttle device is unique and has a special code. Once an explorer uses a shuttle device to enter the other world, they will obtain the corresponding code mark and form a temporary binding relationship with this device. Its scientific name is 'Quantum Tunneling Resonance'. If they want to return, they can only use the same device to do so…

Well, I'm not too sure about the exact principle, but you can simply understand it as heading to the other world is like going down a mine. Every explorer has a rope tied to them that is connected to the shuttle device they use when they set off. Each shuttle device can have many ropes tied to them."

Everyone found it impressive.

The student who had asked the question scratched his head and asked,

"Then how can you return through that?"

"Of course it's the people outside the mine who are responsible for pulling us back… The explorers don't have to do anything. The staff in the bureau can operate the device and call them back directly."

Zhou Jing's eyes flickered as he interrupted, "Then the explorers can only wait passively and can't take the initiative to return?"

Huang Zhuo smiled and nodded,

"The order and date of return is usually arranged beforehand. If the explorers want to return early and end their military service, they have to apply to the stronghold base of the astral world and pass the higher-ups' approval before they can cut the line on the return list.

Actually, this is a method that has to be used. Everyone has learned the difference in the flow of time in the astral world, right? In addition, there's only one way to travel, so the Exploration Bureau of the main world can't communicate with the explorers who are serving in real time. If we want to obtain information, we can only wait for the explorers who are serving to return. That's why we arranged for the explorers to return in batches regularly to ensure that the frequency of updates won't be too slow."

Zhou Jing's heart skipped a beat.

In that case, the explorers could not freely decide when to travel and return after entering the other world. No matter what they encountered, they could only stay in the other world obediently and wait for others to pull them back.

Moreover, due to the restrictions of the efficiency of intelligence communication, the Exploration Bureau of the main world could not know what was happening in the other world at all times. This way, they could not provide real-time staff advice or direct orders. Therefore, most of the time, the explorers had to make their own judgments.

This seemed to be good news…

"Then are there any situations where you can't return?" Wu Fan frowned and raised his hand to ask.

Huang Zhuo's expression turned serious as he said, "Unless the shuttle device malfunctions or there's a problem with the code mark on my body, this won't happen."

"If it happens…"

"It's nothing. We can just let the other explorers bring him back." Huang Zhuo spread his hands.

Hearing this, Zhou Jing blinked and suddenly realized a problem. He curiously spoke out,

"Then… can the natives of the other world be brought back like this?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene fell silent.

After a few seconds, Huang Zhuo finally spoke,

"Anything brought back from the other world in the main world has to pass through the hands of an Explorer. Explorers are carriers and mediums. Because of the existence of plane filtering, there are certain restrictions on the transmission of matter. However, most of the time, the things that are restricted include living creatures, and natives with intelligence are no exception."

Everyone's expressions changed.

Since the other party was so certain, it was obvious that the Exploration Bureau had done something similar in history and confirmed its feasibility.

So… there were natives from other worlds who were brought to the main world?

Everyone's imagination ran wild as a large number of dark experimental images appeared in their minds.

Ignoring everyone's shock, Huang Zhuo continued,

"Of course, the items carried by explorers have a volume limit. At the very least, they can't exceed the size of the shuttle device. For example, it's impossible to bring back a mountain directly… Therefore, in order to deal with this situation, the shuttle device has different specifications. The Exploration Bureau on some other planets have a giant shuttle device meant for larger items.

However, the larger the shuttle device, the more expensive it is and the harder it is to manufacture. Therefore, we usually only use conventional-sized shuttle devices… You've already seen it not long ago."
