Chapter 703: Chapter 664: Antimatter Vehicles
Zhao Rong smiled and explained to the three women and his assistant, "You all guessed wrong. The scientific name for this gadget is ’space capsule.’ However, it doesn’t fly in space, nor does it fly through the air. Of course, it neither sails in water nor runs on land. In a moment, you will see that this gadget can travel swiftly through the earth, just like a mole."
When the three women and the assistant heard that this so-called space capsule could move through the soil like a mole, they couldn’t understand the principle behind it. They asked, "Zhao Rong, all vehicles need an environment with very little friction to move. The less friction there is, the faster it can go. For instance, planes are faster than cars because air resistance is lower than the friction on the ground. But now you’re saying this thing moves through the soil? Zhao Rong, you have to know that the resistance in soil is extremely high! How could it possibly build up speed? That seems completely impractical."
After hearing their doubts, Zhao Rong offered an example. "The resistance from the soil only seems high because it hasn’t met an antimatter vehicle. The space capsule I bought from the Paradise Shopping Cart is exactly that. The greater the friction, the faster it goes. Conversely, the less friction, the slower it moves."
When Lili heard that the vehicle Zhao Rong had bought from the Paradise Shopping Cart was so incredible, she was astounded. "Zhao Rong, that so-called space capsule you bought from the Paradise Shopping Cart is just unbelievable! It’s made of antimatter, so the greater the resistance, the faster it moves, and the less resistance, the slower it goes. Most people couldn’t even begin to imagine something like this, let alone understand it."
Zhao Rong smiled at Lili and said, "That’s why this type of antimatter vehicle can only move through the earth. If it were in the sky or on the ground, the friction would be so low that its speed would be incredibly slow, even slower than we can walk."
Hearing how amazing the vehicle was, Yu Lan said eagerly, "Zhao Rong, since this vehicle you bought from the Paradise Shopping Cart is so incredible, let’s get in and test it out right away!"
Xuelian, who was standing nearby, looked at the small oxygen-tank-like object. She felt it was impossible for five people to fit inside. "Zhao Rong, even if the principle behind this antimatter vehicle you bought from the Paradise Shopping Cart is jaw-dropping, how can the five of us possibly fit into such a small tank?"
The assistant, standing to the side, measured the object and found it was only a meter long with a radius of just ten centimeters. She also felt it was impossible for them to ride in it. "Zhao Rong, although this antimatter vehicle is amazing, it’s really too small. The space is far too narrow. There’s no way we can get in."
Just as everyone was doubting they could fit inside the antimatter vehicle, Zhao Rong set an example for them, explaining, "What you don’t know is that the magic of this vehicle lies in how everything about it seems to be reversed. Although this gadget looks very small, its internal space is actually very large."
When the three women heard Zhao Rong say the vehicle’s internal volume was immense, they immediately started looking for an opening to get inside. "Zhao Rong, we want to get inside now, but how do we do it? Where’s the entrance? This thing doesn’t look like it has any openings at all."
While they were struggling to find an entrance, Zhao Rong opened a valve, put a finger inside, and gently pressed a button. The moment he did, the living, breathing Zhao Rong was instantly sucked into the space capsule—the antimatter vehicle that resembled an oxygen tank.
Seeing Zhao Rong enter the space capsule in a flash, Lili, who was standing beside him, copied his actions. She put her finger into the opening, pressed the button, and was instantly sucked inside as well.
Yu Lan, Xuelian, and the assistant, who were standing nearby, all followed suit. They each put a finger inside, pressed the button, and in an instant, were all pulled into the antimatter vehicle.
Once inside the space capsule, they were stunned by the immense, luxuriously appointed space.
Lili looked around in utter amazement. There were high-end sofas, a bar, a kitchen, a living room, a karaoke room, an amusement park, and even courts for badminton, tennis, and soccer. "Oh my gosh," she exclaimed. "I really didn’t expect a whole other world inside this tiny, insignificant-looking oxygen tank! I never would have dreamed the space inside would be so vast, and the facilities so complete."
Yu Lan was also incredibly astonished. "My goodness, the design and layout in here remind me of the first-class amenities on Dubai Airlines. It’s the pinnacle of personalized service and extreme luxury."
Xuelian felt as if the space capsule was like a hanging garden. "Zhao Rong, I truly never expected the amenities inside the space capsule to be so luxurious."
The assistant sat down in a massage chair and began massaging her sore shoulders. "I can’t believe it. This is practically treatment fit for a king. To think that an assistant like me could experience a day like this and enjoy such luxury... it’s truly beyond my wildest expectations."
Just as everyone was marveling at the capsule’s lavish interior, Zhao Rong reminded them, "Alright, I’m about to get us moving. Everyone, buckle up."
Hearing this, the three women and the assistant immediately found seats, sat down, and fastened their seatbelts. They said to Zhao Rong, "We’re all buckled up, Zhao Rong. We’re ready to go."
Lili asked Zhao Rong, "Big Brother, this so-called antimatter vehicle... can it go faster than the subway?"
Yu Lan said, "Zhao Rong, I think its speed must exceed that of a high-speed train, right?"
Xuelian added, "Zhao Rong, this antimatter vehicle you bought from the Paradise Shopping Cart... Its speed doesn’t just surpass the subway and high-speed trains. I bet it’s even faster than a Boeing 737 or an Airbus, no problem at all!"
Before they could even finish speaking, Zhao Rong chuckled. "Alright, we’ve already arrived at our destination. What I didn’t tell you is that this antimatter vehicle travels at nearly the speed of light. So, if we want to go anywhere, we just set the location and can arrive in a millisecond."
