Black Sky

"What's the purpose? How did you discover it?" Chus asked.

"Basically rely on this hero." Jin patted the girl next to him on the shoulder. Since he knew that this was Esther Carbell, his words and deeds had been reduced a lot, and he no longer rubbed his head like a real kid. Funny, it won't be the little princess and the eldest baby girl yelling indiscriminately, only occasionally taking advantage of two generations in places that Carbell cannot see.

He said: "Carbell actually did more than we thought. She exported the system design of intelligent machinery to various key places, such as prisons, hospitals, military departments, government of the general, and security buildings. Some security devices. These design fragments are hidden in the complete system. When contacting certain key data, they will automatically grab backups and even upgrades. We have obtained a lot of information through these for a long time."

"The purpose of the time experiment is revealed under this collection of information..."

As early as the beginning of the New Gregorian calendar, with the discovery of more than a dozen habitable planets and the continuous development of interstellar migration technology, a group of capital groups originally on Tianying γ began to transfer to other stars, and they continued to move to other stars for thousands of years. In the past conflicts, compromises, and numerous melees, the City of Silver gradually surpassed the parent star, Skyhawk γ, and became the leader. The level of science and technology far exceeds that of any other planet. At first glance in space, most of the entire planet They are all shining with the silver brilliance of high-tech alloys, so white that they have the nickname "City of Silver".

However, if the momentum is too strong, the road is too easy to make people feel omnipotent.As a result, all kinds of incredible exploration and research in the Silver City are endless. This is not a bad thing in itself. It has happened so many people, no matter which planet the people are not surprised.

But some of these studies ignored all consequences at the beginning of the implementation, the process was crazy and terrible, and the impact increased exponentially. When the upper level responded to an emergency stop, the car could not be stopped, and the destructive results were irretrievable.

After coming down several times, under the bright skin of the City of Silver, there were already holes and scars.The entire planet is declining at an accelerated speed of eight hundred miles.

The surface is still at the peak, and the inside has directly jumped off the cliff.

So... the time experiment was brewing.

They want to create regret medicine, they want to have countless opportunities to come back, and they want to remove the limitations of consequences so that they can try everything without hesitation.

They want to deny the meaning of time and lift the bondage of time.

However, the situation in the City of Silver at the time was not enough to make them open their arms and madness. As a result of the contradictions that continued to highlight, the City of Silver directly took the lead, causing a century-long interstellar chaos, and the entire interstellar war transferred contradictions and consumption At the same time, productivity, by means of chaos, quietly introduces time experiments into other planets, and intervenes in various planets.

"You know, it's like taking the Silver City as its source and digging tributaries on other habitable planets." When Jin spoke, he kept making gestures with his hands. When he said this, his pale face was a little red, and his tone of voice was a little red. Did not consciously improve."Our planets are used as petri dishes, waiting for time to experiment and ferment in various different environments. Our planet has the thickest foundation, and because it was once the parent planet, it is similar to the political power group and capital group of the City of Silver. It's inextricably linked, and for them it is an excellent reaction vessel."

"These time experimental bases are linked to the huge time experimental area of ​​the Silver City. All the energy fluctuations and disturbances caused by the Silver City in the experiment will lead to other planets through these, especially ours. Here. I don’t know if you still have any impressions. There have been reports for several years that the planetary exhaustion trend of the Silver City is being reversed at a certain rate, followed by a bunch of messy data and serious experiments, which is actually time. The result of several experiments! And the so-called twist is only the appearance, the energy disorder and effect caused are too big to be eliminated!"

It's like carrying a bomb with incomparable explosive equivalent, concealing it and trying every possible means to find someone to take it out.

"At that time, most of us were no longer there. They were either secretly dealt with like Cabell and Elena, or like your dad, they were caught in the Fort Barney incident. That time The blow was really too great. The shadows lasted for decades. Me and Medela can only be more cautious. If you take a few more risks, the whole army will probably be wiped out. This dull day has passed. The Red Maple base was destroyed in 5685. It was really—" Jin pondered his words, "Inspiring."

Shao Heng, Roger and the others: "..."

Even Truss didn't know what expression to put on for a while, he thought about it, and the first time he interjected in the middle, "Sae Young will be stunned when he hears this."

Esther Kabel raised his hand and patted twice as a sign of encouragement, and by the way expressed his agreement with Kim's term.

Everyone: "..."

Jin laughed and said, "Even if Medela was asked to come over, he would agree with the word."

Truth silently thought about Admiral Medela's unsmiling face all the year round, and couldn't imagine what kind of "agreement" he would have when he heard this.

"At that time, everyone of us was stared at by countless pairs of eyes, and we should not have too obvious tendencies and behaviors. But I still want to say that the reason why Mr. Sae Young was able to get away with justice for 17 years, on the one hand, he was really amazing. , On the other hand, there are also credits for Medela and the others."

The Red Maple base was destroyed. As Sae Young said, it actually destroyed all the equipment and equipment related to the time experiment in the base, including the energy pool, and did not actually involve any human life.The explosion that followed was actually the handwriting of the military. On the one hand, it was to aggravate Sae Young's crime, and on the other hand, it was for cover.

The so-called missing contact list is actually a list of participants in the time experiment.

Under the guise of "lost contact", the military headquarters, some of the general government and the same faction forces in the security building transferred all those people.

Regrettably, although Sae Young destroyed the largest lair of the "Time Experiment" group on Skyhawk γ, as long as the true foundation of the Silver City remains, it will only be a matter of time before the experimental equipment data is re-established and restored. .

"I took it lightly back then, and then I did something I'm sorry, which was very stupid." Jin said with a look of chagrin, "I later tried to explore their new den under the guise of a research project, but I was out of it. The malfunctioning experiment cabin was pitted severely."

"..." Everyone stared at his young face, for fear that he would also say: So I too died.

"Don't look at me with this kind of tomb-sweeping eyes." Jin waved his hand, "I am not dead, but my time as an individual has been disordered, which has caused me to be traced back to what I was when I was young."

"How about physical fitness?"

"Back to that time too."

"That's better than death," Shao Heng said.

Cabell once again used his fingers to strike a rhythm similar to the Morse code on the armrest, and the conversion was: "But his biological life span has been shortened by a lot."

Chu Si frowned: "Can you recover?"

Jin didn't care too much and shook his head, "I'm just an accident. How can I choose to go forward and backward freely, it's good to be alive."

He paused, then added: "Compared to those old friends, I am already...one of the luckiest people."

"But maybe to compensate for my shortened lifespan, I picked up Carbell in the hospital the next winter." King stopped for a while and said again, "At the same time, I saw you who were ordered by Shao Dun not to be discharged early. ."

"Hospital?" Chus was taken aback.

He was in the hospital and was not allowed to leave the hospital by Elder Shao... There was only one time in total, the one where half of his body was damaged.

Esther Carbell was in the hospital at that time?

"So you are..." Truth looked at Carbell.

The other party squinted at him and smiled, tapping his fingers to the rhythm and replied: "Thank you for catching me."

Chu Si was stunned, "Are you the kid who almost slipped?"

Carbell knocked and explained: "When I was locked in the experimental cabin, I should definitely die, because the experiment has not appeared even a semi-finished product. But in fact, when I opened my eyes and woke up, it was already your responsibility. The escorted experimental team is in."

Jin said for her: "We guessed that the very low probability of success rate in the experimental cabin left a trace on Carbell, causing a part of the chaos of time and space, so she was in the environment after the time was pulled, and Her time as an individual was dragged back to before, that is, when she was 2 or 3 years old, she had no memory, just like an ordinary severely injured child. Maybe a delicate balance has been formed, so she is still Alive."

Kabel added again; "Of course, this is an accident after all, and it is impossible to say whether it will survive in the future."

Everyone: "..."

Jin thought for a while and said to Chus: "Hey—I was pitted in the experiment cabin for a while, and I didn’t go out for half a year. In the blink of an eye, you lie down in the hospital bloody. Let your dad know that we My friendship probably came to an end. I had to pretend that I didn’t know Shao Dun at the time, and there was no chance of direct contact, so I got in touch with Medela. After that, he worked a little bit and transferred you to the same level. We don’t want to involve your generation in these troubles again, but we still have to make plans. If our entire army is wiped out, anyway, you will be able to support it and survive. well."

After hearing this, Truth felt a mixed feeling in his heart——

The unrelated people he thought were unfamiliar, are blessing him with care, and those fathers and friends who are dead or alive are watching him silently in corners he can't see...

Jin did not notice the change in his eyes, and continued to finish the last point: "In short, those years were probably the best years. Later, Medela became an admiral and also cultivated some who seem to be in harmony with each other. The undercover guy, although we are still at a complete disadvantage compared with the number of people, we finally have a good development. In fact, we have always speculated that if the city of Silver continues to be crazy, the energy and space-time will be caused. Disorders are getting more and more unbearable. They always find a way to solve them. They can’t understand the truth that blocking is better than sparse. And it is our planet that is most likely to be used to transfer problems. But we have never been able to discover the time experiment The traces of scale expansion, a small base alone is not enough to digest such a big problem."

"At this point, we are still a step slower. When we faintly reacted, an unprecedented destruction-level experimental error occurred on the Silver City." Jin grabbed his hair and grabbed the whip behind his head. It's messy, "I received the news on the afternoon of December 27, 5713. At that time, I was taking Carbell in the black cedar forest, and I was able to check your rest time to see you. The news was from May. Della came from, and he found out the news at noon that day. You know what happened after that, we didn't have time to react, and the whole planet was drawn into this nightmare."

On the evening of December 27, 5713, the global alarm sounded. Within those three minutes, everyone panicked to find the nearby frozen capsule and lay down. After that, it was a dark sky that was so long that it could hardly be seen.

"So the City of Silver finally found a way to transfer the consequences..." Chu Si said.

"Yeah." Jin nodded. "When I woke up from the frozen capsules with Carbell, we discovered that these frozen capsules in the black cedar forest had been modified and the people lying in them would wake up later than the others. , I think it may be that Carbell and I have unknowingly exposed. The other party has gotten our hands and feet in the black cedar forest every year. But by coincidence, our own individual time is disordered, time and space The instant global energy turbulence and conflict caused by the experiment caused the planet to break apart, and in the process, the two of us also affected the time of this planet fragment, so... there was such a chaotic time result."

Jin shrugged, "We guess that it was this huge disorder and disintegration that affected the people in the Fort Barney incident. The experimental team like those crazy people at the time blocked them all in a non-waste manner. When they entered the experimental cabin, they were probably denominators for the meager success rate. Unexpectedly, there was a result, and they woke up on the ground, but their current state is neither alive nor dead, but It is frozen at a certain point."

Jin tried to contact other people when he woke up, but only a few answers.He suspected that everyone's frozen capsules might have been a little passive, so he sent them reminders whether they were awake or not.

Until he received a signal from Jiang Qi.

After the planet collapsed, the deadly injured team reunited at different points in time.

"Jiang rediscovered a new hidden clue in a draft handed to him before the Kabel student died. It is this clue that allows us to find the tool that really opens Pandora's Box." Jin said.

"Draft?" Chus immediately connected his communicator to the console of the command center, and directly called up the document that he and Sae Young had decrypted.Research drafts and audio files are displayed side by side on the screen.

"Is this this one?"

"It seems to be true." Jin tapped the button twice, and the audio file played. The weird voice repeated what Chus had heard last time: "Eternal birth is the devil, and death becomes the god."

"Your time is tighter than us, so you may not have noticed that you deal with the audio files like this--" Jin bit his tongue and stared at the screen and quickly tapped the buttons. It looked like Truth had never seen it before. .

He decomposed the entire audio and played it upside down, and it became a single syllable.

"According to the Bennet cipher, oh, you don’t know the Bennet cipher. This is the set we used internally." Jin decoded the monosyllables according to the key of the so-called Bennet cipher, and finally got a sentence: " They created the devil, and I prepared the god."

The so-called "god" must be the "grid plate" design left by Carbell for them, and it was finally placed in the Bani Fort underground by Jiang Qi.

Jin pointed to the screen and said: "We thought that there was only this piece of information, but there is actually a second piece."

He cut the sentence "They created the devil, and I prepared the gods" again and decomposed it into a string of letters, and then changed a key to convert this string of letters into several sets of numbers.

Truth knew at a glance that each set of numbers represented "the y-th row in the x-th row."

So he followed those sets of numbers without saying a word, and found the answer in that diary-like draft. The answer spelled out a name-Mond Hollis

The people in the entire command center fell into deathly silence the moment they saw the name.

During the design process of the frozen capsule, whenever there were disagreements and quarrels, someone shouted, "Do you have to carry Professor Mond Hollis's coffin over and put your idiots down to stop?!"

This name rarely appears in daily life, but every time it appears, it is always tied to another word-Longzhu.

Mond Hollis is the chief designer and helm of Longzhu.

Jin pointed to the name, and said to the people who had already begun to sweat: "Mond Hollis is the best hidden participant in the time experiment. Now you should know how the City of Silver transferred the devastating consequences. It’s on our planet. It’s scary to pass through the dragon pillars all over the planet, right?
