Chapter 102 Abnormal Projection

"This alien projection shouldn't exist at all." Safu's voice was soft and weak, but what she said was shocking, "My previous calculations may have to be overturned."

"Huh? Give me more details." Not only Shuer frowned, but almost everyone stopped eating.

"Since I came in, I have found that there are always two readings that are abnormal. Although it does not affect the final result, it always makes me worry. So I have been trying to find the cause of the abnormality for an hour." Saff lowered his head and did not dare. Looking at his teammates, his voice became quieter and quieter, "I knew there would be something wrong with my calculations, I always knew... Yeah."

The female swordsman who was about to cry uttered a cry of panic, because Xiuer suddenly pulled her over and pressed her on her lap, and slapped her ass a few times. For the shy Saf, this was already extremely embarrassing, and it made her feel ashamed. Even when she was lying down, she felt dizzy.

"Eh? How does it feel? I want to try it too." The key is that there are people booing next to you, and the level of shame is doubled.

"Are you ready to try to get beaten?"

"Eh? Do you want to touch me again? Okay, okay, do you want to touch deer skin or tree bark? It can't be an elf, right? This doesn't suit your taste..."

"I'm sorry, Moria, I was wrong." One thing comes after another, and the truth can indeed stand verification.

"Sasa, first of all, you have to understand what's going on. Secondly, I don't think you are wrong. No one thinks so. Thirdly, if the abnormality is caused by special circumstances, then the error has nothing to do with you." The swordsman sat down next to him, Xiuer stared at her and said seriously, "Do you understand? If you understand, please speak clearly."

After such a fuss, Saff no longer cared about her inferiority complex and self-denial. A special sense of pleasure put her in a strange state of excitement, as if she had given up on herself. She had changed from her usual cowardice, and her voice had even increased a lot.

"I have discovered the cause of the anomaly. Let's not mention the specific theory. The latest calculation results show that the energy of this world should not be able to maintain such a large space. Only one third at most should be the limit. "

One-third, that is, a depth of more than 600 kilometers, although it is also very large, it is still within the scope of common sense and does not belong to a particularly rare giant projection.

"You continue." Shuer said noncommittally, "There may be others."

"Well, I found the projection boundary close to our side." With an abnormal blush on her face, Sav took out a piece of paper and slapped it on the ground, "I drew it."

"Did you draw it casually?" Staring at the piece of paper, Xiuer tapped his fingers on his thigh habitually, and his brain began to work at high speed.

"No, I draw very seriously, very seriously."

The pattern on the paper is not complicated at all, it is just an arc, a very straight and regular arc.

"I'm afraid this mission will be a bit troublesome." According to previous habits, Shuer would never openly declare to the team that he encountered difficulties, but would habitually make his own secret calculations.

However, no one bothered to think about his changes. Everyone was staring at this simplest arc. Even Kelly, who didn't understand what was happening at all, was affected by the atmosphere and stared at the arc. .

"This is the first time I've seen such regular boundaries." Shuer turned his eyes to Mia, "What about you?"

"Same, never seen before."

"Huh, let me tell." After pondering for a while, facing the gazes of his teammates, Xiuer whispered, "Combining the two questions raised by Saf, I have a bad guess. Kelly, you Be mentally prepared, this mission is likely to fail."

"Yes." Still unusually calm, the female priest nodded slightly.

"Although there is no factual basis, based on experience, I guess that the depth of this projection world was originally only more than 600 kilometers, but there was some kind of powerful energy that interfered with the construction of the alien projection. Simply put, it transformed the projection into The world has expanded."

"With such a powerful energy, what can we imagine? Haha, the Heart of Water, only something beyond the comprehension of mortals can have this possibility. It is precisely because the Heart of Water forcibly expands the projection world, The boundaries are so regular. If I guessed correctly, this world should be a perfect circle with the center of water as the center."

"This conjecture, everyone should have no objection."

Indeed, after seeing the drawings, these experienced veterans have already thought of this possibility, and the more they think about it, the more they think it may be a fact.

"Boss, I can understand what you said." After all, it was only the second time Macajron was chasing shadows, and he didn't have such a keen sense of smell. "But does this have any impact? Why do you think the mission will fail?"

"Because our target happens to be the Heart of Water." Shuer sighed and asked, "Take away the energy source that supports this world. What do you think will happen to this projection world?"

Macajron could only smile bitterly. Of course he didn't know. Not only him, no one knew what would happen.

"It will definitely not be a happy outcome." Shuer did not expect the halfling's answer. "The most likely possibility is that the projection world will collapse directly, and everyone will be annihilated in the void. Even if it is the best result, I guess it is the projection The world suddenly shrank and became the size it should have been. As for maintaining the status quo, it should be impossible." "This is acceptable." The dwarf rubbed his messy beard and did the thinking work he hated most, "Captain, please press After all, the Heart of Water is in the center, so wouldn’t it be better if the area is smaller, as long as it doesn’t affect us?”

"Can you accept it? Haha, the escape points are all on the boundary line." Shuer sighed, "Do you think the world suddenly shrinks, will the escape points shrink with it?"

"This, this, this, who can guess this." Patting his helmet in distress, Moback muttered, "It should... yes."

"Should?" Shuer didn't comment too much, but everyone also understood that no one could make a hasty decision based on a "should" in such a matter that would risk their lives.

"Safu, are there any other abnormalities?" After thinking for a while, Shuer asked, "You just said that there were abnormalities in two readings, right? What about the other one?"

"The other thing...is the duration." The effect of mental stimulation gradually faded away, and the poor swordswoman gradually regained her rationality. She only felt that her whole body was light and her mind was dizzy, filled with a sense of unreality, and she began to speak. Intermittently, "This... time... is..."

Shuer sighed and suddenly raised his hand.

"Yeah, no." Saff covered her butt and rubbed her back, blushing and said, "It's the time of projection from another world, and time is also affected."

"What's the change? It's shorter?" Xiure said with a wry smile, "How much time do we have? This alien projection will definitely dissipate tomorrow."

No one laughed. The joke was not funny at all. If it were true, there would be nothing for everyone to do except wait for death.

"I don't know." Saff shook his head vigorously. "The issue of duration can only be calculated based on the constants of the projection world, but after adding the influence of the Heart of Water, no one knows what will happen."

"In other words, is it really possible that it will become shorter?"

"Well, although it won't be as exaggerated as disappearing tomorrow, it may indeed become shorter." Sav wrote on the paper, "Well, once the Heart of Water is taken away, the worst result may be From 37 days to 20 days, but it may not change."

"No change? Even if the heart of water is taken away, it won't change?"

"Yes, unchanged. If the projection range suddenly shrinks to normal size, the duration may not change, but this is just speculation and has no theoretical basis."

"I understand." Xiu Er simply closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time. The seven people looked at him without saying a word, waiting for his conclusion.

"Why are you looking at me? Keep eating." When he opened his eyes, he found seven pairs of eyes staring at him. Shuer rolled his eyes and said angrily, "After eating and going to bed, do what you should do."

"That's it?" Macajerun said in surprise, "No measures?"

"Of course not." There seemed to be a hint of anger in Xiure's tone. He didn't know what he thought of to make him suddenly so angry. But at least he remained calm and did not vent his anger. "Now everything remains just speculation." At this stage, it is impossible to draw accurate conclusions.”

"So everything remains as usual. It's not too late to consider what to do next when we really see the Heart of Water. At least from the current situation, as long as the Heart of Water is not moved, the stability of this alien projection will not be affected for the time being. sex, so we still have enough time to think about it.”

"But there is one thing that needs to be changed. Let's not go looking for the Heart of Water yet. Sav, please summarize the escape points that you can calculate and draw them on the map. Let's first find the two closest escape points. Leave a way out and consider the issue of the Heart of Water."

"Kelly." When the name was called, Xiuer's tone became weird for a moment, but it immediately returned to normal, as if it was an illusion. "Can you roughly estimate the distance to the Heart of Water?"

"Sorry, I have no sense of distance."

"Huh, it doesn't matter. Let's explore the escape points first and find a few more so that..."

Before he could finish his words, a shrill wolf howl suddenly sounded in the distance, and a white shadow ran back like crazy under the scorching sun and rushed directly into the pergola.

"Ha, ha, ha." The white wolf stuck out his tongue and panted wildly, and there was even a big cloud of white air coming out of his open mouth.

"Tsk, this stupid wolf is back." Xiuer poured a bowl of water and put it next to him. The half-human-tall white wolf was now like a dog. He rushed over and licked most of it.

"Aww." The white wolf shook his fur, looked around, found Kelly's direction and took a few steps. He raised his paws in grievance. Sure enough, there were several blisters on his paws, which looked pretty good. Pitiful.

"Treat it some more, Kelly, I think it won't leave for a while."
