Blind date in time and space.

Chapter 246 Energy, Doomsday Change

Chen Ji and Zhou Wan left the dormitory, and there was a palm-sized black kitten lying on their shoulders.

"Zhou Wan, tell me about the past three months."

On the way to the conference room, Chen Ji asked her.

"Well, there are actually not many. The most important change is: the ability crystal is gradually losing its power!"

Zhou Wan looked at him with worried eyes.

"Loss of power? Unable to maintain the energy consumption of the underground city?"

Chen Ji thought about it carefully, and sighed: "Energy is indeed the most important change."

After the sun went out, human beings were forced to hide underground and use various energy sources to maintain the operation of society.

Including but not limited to oil, coal, geothermal, nuclear fission, etc.

Three years ago, researchers in Haicheng accidentally crystallized life powers to create a nearly inexhaustible energy source, which benefited human beings all over the world. The consumption of oil and coal was greatly reduced, and a huge city was built underground. .

Although the current ground temperature is minus five degrees, human beings can survive and grow doomsday plants to obtain food.

However, in order to prevent the sun from going out again, countries around the world still built doomsday bases underground, dug out passages leading to the ground, and used geothermal energy as a backup energy source.

"Except for this, everything else is fine. Oh, by the way, Lin Zhiyang is in Xiaguo, mingling with people from the Dark Doom Society."

Zhou Wan said again.

"Dare he show his face openly? That's right, you have been missing for three months." Chen Ji said with a smile: "It just so happened that we came back, this time we acted quietly and captured him!"

Lin Zhiyang has a high probability of knowing where to go to the intersection of the four worlds, or where the space rift in the Nine Realms is. Finding him, the matter is half successful.

The two were chatting and came to the upper conference room.

"Chen Ji is here?"

"Come on, sit down, Xiao Zhang, hurry up and make tea for Mr. Chen!"

There were already many leaders sitting in the conference room, and when they saw Zhou Wan and Chen Ji appearing, they all smiled, their eyes full of expectation, and hurriedly beckoned him to sit down.

Three months is not too long, not too short.

The meeting starts soon.

Everyone looked at him, and this meeting was held because of him. Chen Ji cleared his throat and asked, "Can the three power crystals still be used now?"

When he asked this sentence, everyone's expression became a bit subtle.

The leader of Haishi Doomsday Base, Gao Liqun, answered him somewhat helplessly: "After Zhou Wan left, the supernatural power crystal slowly lost its power for some reason. Then the day before yesterday, when Zhou Wan just returned, the supernatural power crystal completely lost its power. Use value!"

Chen Ji frowned.

Zhou Wan said: "I guess the change in the power crystal is because of my departure and return this time."

She looked at Chen Ji, meaning that what happened at the intersection of the four realms, even the change of the Nine Realms, and Mu Xiaoxiao's going to the intersection of the four realms, these series of factors superimposed and caused the crystallization of abilities to fail.

When Mu Xiaoxiao came to the doomsday world last time, she made the supernatural power crystal mutate, so it can be seen that the crystal has a certain relationship with her.

Gao Liqun sighed softly, "We are trying our best to find a solution, but I can tell you, Chen Ji, that we have nothing to do at the moment!"

Chen Ji's heart sank.

No wonder they had strong anticipation in their eyes when they saw him.

Gao Liqun continued: "Our research on supernatural crystals has always been at the application level. We don't understand anything involved in it, whether it's physics, magic, laws, or mysterious principles!"

Chen Ji nodded slightly: "In fact, I have also guessed that the power crystal is the power fragment formed after the collision of several worlds. It involves the laws of the world. Not to mention you, no one in the four worlds can understand it. In front of the world, Human power is too small."

Everyone was shocked.

This is the first time that Chen Ji has publicly stated to them that there is such a big event as four worlds colliding.

Zhou Wan also looked at him, feeling vaguely worried. Did she say these things because there was no other way?

Chen Ji said again: "Let me tell you about the other three worlds, and some things I have done recently, about Lin Zhiyang."

He decided to speak out.

Because the influence of the four worlds is getting deeper and deeper, and there will be more changes in the future, it can be prepared early if you speak out in advance.

"The first world, God's Grace Continent, is the phantom of a woman who appeared on the World Tree last time. She is a goddess named Astana. At the same time, she also purified the black petals that erupted from the sun. ..."

Chen Ji told them some situations.

Briefly introduce the three worlds, and then talk about the intersection of the four worlds.

Gao Liqun, Director Zhao, Wei Hong, Duan Zhengyan and others were very shocked.

It turns out that there is such a magical universe beyond the universe where the earth is located, and the theory of the multiverse is correct.

"Four worlds collide..."

Gao Liqun rubbed his temples, and after careful consideration, he raised his head to look at Chen Ji, and said with a smile: "Earth was not destroyed on the spot by such a major event as the collision of worlds. It seems that human beings are lucky!"

Everyone froze for a moment, and then laughed, as if they were having fun in bitterness.

"But there's one thing I can't figure out."

"what's up?"

"That's why black flowers grow in the sun?"

Gao Liqun analyzed and said: "And from some phenomena, the doomsday destruction represented by the black flowers has a will behind it, a big villain, who is arranging for the earth to be destroyed step by step!"

Chen Ji nodded slightly. In fact, this inference has always existed. Mu Xiaoxiao guessed it a long time ago, trying to find the mastermind behind the doomsday.

Later, after knowing that black flowers grow on the sun, this argument was rarely raised. Everyone equated the black hands behind the scenes with black flowers.

"Perhaps, the shadow of chaos has undergone some changes in this world, and has wisdom?"

"possible!"

Duan Zhengyan agreed with Chen Ji's guess, and he said: "The people of the Dark Doomsday Society can obtain power from the black aura through some special methods, and their bodies are highly deformed, and many of them no longer have the appearance of a humanoid. , very weird."

"So rampant?"

Chen Ji was a little surprised, last time he only met someone from the Dark Doomsday Society at Ameiken, but he didn't expect it to develop so quickly now.

Even if they treat it with such caution, it can be seen that the Dark Doom Society has already had a great influence in many places.

"Yes, they are active in many places."

The ground is not under the control of the doomsday base, it is a state of chaos and disorder.

Haishi can be said to be the largest human settlement in the world, and even here there are people from the Dark Doomsday Society, one can imagine other places.

Chen Ji said: "As for the power of the black flower, I suggest that you can study it, but don't try to master it."

"We understand, and we've always been careful."

"Also, about Lin Zhiyang who stole the Fragment of Destiny."

Chen Ji said that he could travel to other worlds by relying on the black flowers and fragments of destiny.

Wei Hong was surprised: "This power to travel through the world... is the same as yours, Chen Ji?"

"Different."

Chen Ji smiled and said: "I can travel anywhere, but Lin Zhiyang relies on black flowers, and he can only travel through weak points in space."

"...In other words, if you find Lin Zhiyang, you can find the weak point in space?"

Countless thoughts flashed through Gao Liqun's mind, and he quickly gave up. He sighed and said, "Even if we escape from this world, other worlds will also suffer from the impact of world collisions, regardless of the problem of accepting us."

"but."

Before Chen Ji opened his mouth, he said with great spirits: "It is still of great value to catch Lin Zhiyang, maybe our researchers can get some results from it!"

Being able to travel through time and space has a huge impact on physics. Many theorems have to be rewritten and qualifiers are added. A large number of physical rules only take effect in this universe.

But it is still unknown whether some useful things can be researched out of this.

It's like humans can see the sun every day, but they can't directly study the controllable nuclear fusion from the sun. Being able to travel through time and space doesn't mean they have mastered the principle.

"Arresting Lin Zhiyang will become one of our next priorities!"

Duan Zhengyan said.

"I heard that there are already clues to him?"

"Yes, not long ago we got information that we saw him moving not far away, mingling with those people."

Chen Ji gave a "hmm" and didn't ask any more questions.

He asked some questions about energy sources. He knew that with the current reserve materials, such as grain, oil, coal, etc., the major doomsday bases in the Xia Kingdom could last about one year and maintain half of the current population size.

But according to Gao Liqun, once no energy alternatives can be found within half a year, a large number of people will be desperate, and they will fall into anxiety, thinking that they are eliminated, and by then, the turmoil will not be suppressed.

"I'm going to see the power crystal!"

Chen Ji stood up, there is no need to continue this meeting, energy is the key.

"Okay, I'll take you there. Wei Hong, you also come with me."

Gao Liqun immediately made arrangements for Wei Hong, the leader of the research center, to accompany him, while the others went to work independently.

After Chen Ji and Zhou Wan left the meeting room, Huang Yuwen, the person with the driving ability, and several members of Zhou Wan's team came over and greeted Chen Ji one after another.

They will follow suit, and if Zhou Wan has any orders, they can directly ask them to do it.

"Tell you something!"

Chen Ji patted Huang Yuwen's shoulder and said with a smile: "Your house has been lived in by a group of people from other worlds, and they have lived there for a long time, three or four months."

"Uh?"

Huang Yuwen looked confused, his family?Isn't his house abandoned long ago?

Chen Ji laughed, "Don't blame me for making my own opinions."

"How could it be? It's only natural for Brother Chen to use my dilapidated villa... We are going to my house this time?"

Huang Yuwen rubbed his hands, "It's not bad to go back, it's very commemorative!"

Kong Xiaomin gave him a supercilious look.

Chen Ji said: "Let's put the action aside for now, let's go and see the supernatural crystallization."

As soon as he mentioned the supernatural crystallization, the atmosphere immediately changed. Everyone, including Huang Yuwen, became serious.

It is related to the future of mankind, and it cannot be overemphasized.

"Brother Chen, this way please!"

Huang Yuwen made a gesture respectfully.

Chen Ji and Zhou Wan walked side by side, and together they walked towards the elevator leading directly to the underground doomsday base.

On the way, Zhou Wan whispered to him: "Don't be too stressed, there will always be a solution to things."

Chen Ji knew what she wanted to say, and shook her little hand.

A group of people went down to the doomsday base a thousand meters underground.

After stepping out of the elevator, Chen Ji immediately saw the changes in the city:

More than half of the lights have been reduced, and the city is much darker. All unnecessary lights are turned off. Residential buildings are only illuminated by a single headlight, and the lights are not turned on inside the house.

In addition, the number of maglev trains in the city has decreased a lot, and there are almost no private cars or electric cars, and bicycles are used instead.

People are not as relaxed as before, and most of them have lingering worries on their faces.

The underground city with tens of millions of people was already crowded, but now it is even more depressing.

The arrival of Chen Ji has attracted the attention of many people. Being able to take the elevator straight up and down directly means that there are important tasks that need to be dealt with quickly.

"It's Chen Ji! And Zhou Wan!"

People recognized them immediately, and finally there was a little more excitement in their eyes, and they surrounded them one after another.

"Uh, what's wrong?"

Chen Ji was surprised.

The last time he came, although it would also arouse people's curiosity, it would not be as exaggerated as it is now.

The crowd is getting bigger and bigger, and everyone is looking at him expectantly.

"Is such that."

Gao Liqun was slightly embarrassed, and explained: "In order to appease people's hearts, we publicized several technologies you brought, Chen Ji, two months ago."

Chen Ji understood.

He has now become the doomsday base of the sea city, and even the hope of mankind all over the world. Everyone expects him to bring epoch-making technology again!
No wonder Zhou Wan specially comforted him just now, putting him under too much pressure.

Gao Liqun also looked at him expectantly, hoping that he would stand up and say a few words, so that people would at least have expectations in their hearts.

Just like three years ago, when Chen Ji, Zhou Wan, and Mu Xiaoxiao appeared as supernatural beings!
"Everyone!"

In the expectant eyes of everyone, Chen Ji said loudly: "I believe that hope exists! One day, we will see the sun full of vitality rise, and the world will return to normal. We will go up from the ground and return to the Live on the ground!"

After a pause, he added: "I believe in hope, and I believe in you, as long as we gather the power of human beings, we will be able to overcome this doomsday!"

No doubt these are words of consolation.

However, people who are in the doomsday need such words very much, and they also need a capable person like Chen Ji to say these words to inspire people's hearts.

After a moment of silence, the crowd applauded.

Zhou Wan also applauded, biting her lip, tears welling in her eyes, she was pulled by Chen Ji into the maglev car, and then she leaned into his arms to let him wipe away the tears.

"Brother Chen, I believe in you too!"

Huang Yuwen, who was sitting in the front seat, whispered something, and the members of Zhou Wan's team, Kong Xiaomin, Zhu Gao, and Huang Xiao, all looked over together.

Chen Ji put his arms around Zhou Wan's shoulders and smiled at them.

Fifteen minutes later, the maglev train arrived at the power generation center—now it is thermal power generation, and the power generation center in front of you is the place where the crystals of life abilities are placed.

The power generation center is not big, it is in the shape of a semicircle and it is stuck on the ground. It is dark inside, but there are still soldiers stationed there. After entering, I also saw a few researchers, who are still making the last effort to restore the power of life supernatural crystals.

Chen Ji entered the core, and saw a glass cylinder placed in a large pool, inside which lay a piece of flesh with hideous muscles, which had lost its vitality, but hadn't rotted yet.

"Life ability is crystallized in the meat?"

Chen Ji asked in surprise.

"Correct!"

Wei Hong explained: "This piece of meat is even that of the mutated rat king. It can continuously release power, allowing the mutated hyphae around it to gain energy. After a series of changes, it is transformed into the electrical energy we need."

"The mutated hyphae can only reproduce for about a month, and then need to replenish energy... Fortunately, the power it releases is amazing and can be used by human bases around the world."

"Of course, this is all in the past."

Wei Hong said not without regret.

Only relying on a small piece of supernatural crystal can meet the energy needs of human beings around the world. It is simply the power of Genesis. Nuclear fusion is a younger brother in front of it!
Chen Ji thought for a while: "I invite Mu Xiaoxiao to come over."

It's time for the Empress to come.
