[Venue 11 pro 5130]About the NGFF hub
I've discovered an NGFF hub hidden under the NFC chip, I'm wondering if a 22mm*40mm NGFF SSD will work on this? Or if I can add a 3G antenna via this hub?

SSD, I'm afraid, would not work coz that NGFF socket is actually a USB 3.0 interface, but a 3G network card of that size does work (already confirmed).

USB3.0?
Then would it be possible to extend storage space using this hub?
Because I don't need mmobile network but I do need more free space.

I wish the same, but the present difficulty is with that NGFF socket.
We can only plug in a 3/4G network card into this socket because it is USB powered and signaled
not in the way of an SSD.

You are right. what we need is a USB storage device of approximately that size that fits the NGFF hub.
There are plenty of similar devices sold but we need to make some changes to the shape and size of the original device so as to make it fit in (the maximum space under the NFC is quite limited) before we plug in the common USB storage device. Perhaps a visit to the PC Home will help?
