To be honest, Su Ge was shocked at this moment.

Even though she had already guessed that Rong Shi might not know south, east, north, and west, she still had an illusion of not seeing the truth when this guess was confirmed.

Although Su Ge doesn't know much about Rong Shi's past, she can tell from his title that this man should have been a soldier. As a soldier, you still dare say that you don't know South, East,  North, and West? Is the one in front of him a pretty straw bag*?

(*straw bag = idiot)

Although she thought so in her heart, she wouldn't dare say it out loud even if you give her ten thousand courage. She just implicitly expressed her question: "How did you confirm the position of the target when you were fighting?"

Rong Shi glanced at Su Ge, his gaze clearly carried a deep meaning that she couldn't understand. Then he opened his mouth and said a series of words that Su Ge could not understand at all. He explained to her the method of target positioning in space military using the simplest and most understandable words he can manage.

But there was a lot of technical jargon and compartmentalization. So even though Rong Shi's words were simple, it still sounds like a heavenly book to Su Ge. But she quickly understood why.

The "SENW" used by the people on earth is actually determined by the sun. This set of directions makes sense in the solar system. But in a broader universe, it is likely to be untenable. But since it's untenable, why is it still used on this barren star?

Does it mean that the environment of this barren star is likely to be the same as that of the solar system?

"What is the South, East, North, West?" After answering the Su Ge, Rong Shi once again asked the question he cared about the most. 

As one of the royal heirs of a huge galaxy, his best quality is probably his enthusiasm to learn. Especially when he encounters a completely new knowledge, Rong Shi will always be more energetic to learn than ordinary people.

"What you described just now is a three-dimensional target positioning. On the other hand, the southeast and northwest is a flat orientation." Su Ge thought about it seriously, and briefly explained the issue he was most concerned about.

As a general trained in the army who knows a lot of things, Su Ge just explained and he quickly understood what this "south, east, north, west" was all about: "In other words, on Earth, you would use south, east, north, west, longitude, and latitude to fix a point?"

"Yes."

"Is your reference object the sun?" Rong Shi thought for a while before asking again. It seems that he is not very familiar with the solar system. It's also reasonable. In the vast universe, the small solar system is not even worth mentioning. It can not be compared with the Tianhe Galaxy: "The star in the center of the solar system?"

"Yes."

Rong Shi touched his chin and thought about it. This barren star should have an interstellar environment similar to that of the Earth. And there should also be a star similar to the sun near it. If this is the case...

His eyes fell on Su Ge again, revealing a diplomatic smile. Then he stretched out his hand towards Su Ge in a humble but aloof manner: "I remember that your solar system salutes like this, right?"

Su Ge looked at the hand stretched towards her with suspicious eyes. What is this alien doing? Why is he suddenly being friendly?

In the end, she still reached out her hand to touch Rong Shi's fingertips. However, before she could retract her hand, her fingertips were grasped by Rong Shi, and an extremely strange body temperature spread along Su Ge's skin.
