Honkai, starting from being approached by Qiyana

"...How did you get into Caltech as an associate professor?"

"Uh..." Walter Yang felt a little helpless, "You should also know that in order to conceal the truth of 'Honkai' from the general public, the knowledge taught by most institutions of higher learning...is actually more or less After a few polishes and revisions, so..."

"Oh, I almost forgot that you, like Destiny, implement a policy of ignoring the people." Li Shubai nodded knowingly.

"I really can't refute this kind of hurtful accusation." Walter Yang shook his head slightly melancholy.

"This is not an accusation." Li Shubai shrugged, "After all, the closer humans are to the truth, the more they are able to perceive their own insignificance. The reason why all the 'meanings' identified by humans exist The value of it is nothing more than because we haven’t widened our perspective enough.”

"The world is vast, and in front of the world, human beings are small and meaningless things-although there are always people who can realize this, but for you who stand on the standpoint of 'protecting human beings', this kind of belt For knowledge with strong negative emotions, it is better to spread as little as possible." Li Shubai said lightly.

Walter Yang fell into silence once again.

The atmosphere of silence lasted for a long time. In the end, it was Walter Yang who broke the silence: "So, after this series of missions is completely over, are you going to... stretch your steps into the universe?"

"This is not a kind of preparation, but an inevitable choice." The corners of Li Shubai's mouth raised a slight icy arc, "Although I can't deny that this son of a bitch's 'Hengkai' does give this person a different level of support." The world brings different possibilities, but now that we know that the so-called [Final Cocoon] is something that came from other creatures in the universe, or it was put on the earth by will...you guess what? With an extremely vengeful character, do you want to blow that useless thing off?"

A rather vulgar and unmannered swearing sound.

However, after hearing Li Shubai's cursing, Walter Yang put on a rather approving expression and nodded understandingly: "Indeed, if you really find a chance to stand in front of that thing, take me one."

"Okay." Li Shubai nodded casually, he stood up from the edge of the deck, stretched his waist, "I will give you a notice when I march into space, as for whether you want to follow... It all depends on how you think about it at that time.”

"..." Walter Yang showed a somewhat surprised expression. In fact, the reason why he said that sentence did have a little emotional emotion in it. He didn't expect that Li Shubai would actually Really promise myself.

However, since the other party agreed to him, Walter Yang didn't mean much to refuse, so he nodded readily and smiled: "Then I will look forward to your notice."

"Yeah." Li Shubai patted Walter Yang on the shoulder, "It's almost time, I'll go back to the bridge for the final coordination work, Bronya and the others should tell you their communication channel, wait until After the mission starts, Qiyana should use the power of the sky to lock your coordinates, and you follow her to the imaginary space we prepared, as for the specific [Earth Cloning]..."

Li Shubai thought for a while, then took out the void treasure that Otto left him, and threw it to Walter Yang: "When you meet up with Bronya and the others, you are discussing the specific construction with them. Make a plan, if you encounter a problem that cannot be solved, please contact me, and I will try my best to remove all the difficulties that stand in front of me."

"..." Walter Yang held the void Wanzang handed over by Li Shubai with both hands, with a strange expression, "You just handed it over to me?"

"Then, if you first herrschers use the First God's Key, you should be able to maximize the power of this thing." Li Shubai shrugged, "By the way, in order to prevent this thing from being The strange will that Otto taught to do things, I have replaced the artificial intelligence that controls the void with a copy of Prometheus, just feel free to use it.”

"Okay." Walter Yang also stood up and nodded, "Then I'll be under my command."

"Take care of Bronya and the others more." Li Shubai said, "Although their control over the power of reason surpasses yours, when it comes to pure 'experience', it is you who have continued to control the power of reason for decades The lawyers are even richer."

"Unfortunately, during the period of overwriting and modifying the [branch] of the pre-civilization era, we have no way to interfere too deeply with this timeline, so we cannot bring Joyce back for the time being." A mention With the name of Joyce, Li Shubai showed a regretful expression, "If the original First Herrscher can be abducted as a coolie, the process of [cloning the Earth] should be smoother, right?"

Walter Yang was silent for a moment, and looked around.

"What are you looking for?" Li Shubai asked.

"There are no suitable streetlights on the deck of the Hyperion." Walter Yang gently pressed the glasses on the bridge of his nose. "I always feel that someone here needs to be tied up."

Chapter 352 Conversation on the Moon 4k

January 2014, 1, 23:[-] noon Eastern time.

In the deep starry sky, the Hyperion revolves around this desolate silver-white star at a near-moon orbital speed of about two kilometers per second.

Next to this star with multiple meanings such as loneliness and purity, a bouquet of metallic luster hangs upright in the air.Kiyana stood on the bridge of the Huberian, looking at the blooming bouquet opposite the moon from a distance, with a little emotion in her eyes.

"I didn't expect to see Kevin's throne again in other worlds." Kiyana said softly.

Although the air deep in the starry sky is quite thin, with the help of the gravity simulation device modified by the Star of Eden, the surroundings of the Hyperion are covered by a layer of gas that is very close to the air on the earth.

"Yeah, at that time, when Kiyana smashed it, I thought I would never see this scene again." Standing beside Kiyana, Mei Lei also felt a little emotional, "I didn't expect it was just a In the blink of an eye, I saw this scene again in another world."

"However, unlike the situation where we were against Kevin at that time, this time, he is on our side as a companion." Kiyana couldn't help sighing, crossing her arms, "Obviously in As a companion, he was such a reliable person, why in our original world, did we have to make trouble to the point where we would not stop until we killed each other?"

"...Probably because, at that time, Kevin actually expected to leave with peace of mind." Raiden Mei shook her head. Compared to Kiana, she had read the former civilization in the Paradise of the Past. In the history of the era, she can understand Kevin's thoughts on a certain level, "He is not the same as the squad leader after all, and he has not left enough for him to continue his fetters in the current era of civilization. Compared with us" this The world', Kevin has always been more of a 'side of the world' guy."

"If it wasn't for the fact that Captain Shubai didn't show up, he would probably..."

In the middle of speaking, Raiden Mei couldn't help but fell silent.

"..."

Qiyana couldn't help being silent. At this moment, a puppet's voice suddenly sounded in her mind: If you can go back to that day, if you can get her life back, you are willing to give everything to repay it. The mistakes she made——Although the current Qiyana will not be swayed by the words of the Thousand Lawrence, but even so, she has to admit that even the "rabble" Distorted individuals are still constructed out of the minds of thousands of people.

If it weren't for the fact that their words were indeed correct enough under certain circumstances, the words of those puppets would not have such a strong provocative effect.

Thinking of this, Qiyana's face involuntarily softened a little, the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching, and suddenly put on an expression as if she was holding back a smile.

In fact, you have always understood that on that day, she would have died a long time ago!You killed it with your own hands a long time ago!She is just a mortal, it is impossible to escape from the imaginary space, and she can't even maintain her own existence!But you refuse to accept all this!You are still imagining that someone can save her, imagining impossible miracles, imagining that you can make up for your unforgivable sin!

To be honest, when facing the Lawrence of Thousand People, even if there were no flaws on the surface, but at that time, I was really a little bit broken by the half-cursing of the cannonball, and at the same time, deep down in my heart. He approved of this series of words, so that he accidentally let the Herrscher of Space take advantage of it at that time.

Although the final result was barely satisfactory, when Qiyana saw the figure standing on the deck, she immediately understood—whether it was the Herrscher of Thousand People who uttered this series of curses, or borrowed The Herrscher of the Sky, who took advantage of the void, and himself, who was scolded to the point of breaking his defense, were all slapped in the face mercilessly at that moment, and completely turned into a clown playing a comedy.fortunate

After all—the miracle that originally only existed in fantasy and could not happen, really happened.

Of course, for Qiyana, the more such slaps in the face, the better—what's wrong with being a clown?So what if the idea that was once established is overturned?If there is such a person who can save those irreparable regrets one by one, as long as a better result can be obtained, Kiyana would like to paint her entire face with clown makeup.

——Probably this is what Kevin is thinking at the moment.

"The captain of the Hyperion asked me to inform you that if you have nothing else to do, you can prepare to go."

Just when Qiyana was thinking this way, Kevin's voice suddenly came from behind the two of them.

Raiden Mei and Qiyana turned their bodies at the same time, and turned their gazes to the figure in Yingjie's uniform.

The three of them looked at each other one by one, nodded to each other, and then leaped into the sky without any hesitation, approaching the huge throne hanging on the near-moon orbit.

The moment he left the Hyperion, a strong sense of hypothermia and weightlessness suddenly hit, and the sound transmitted by the vibration of the air was completely blocked, but whether it was the Herrschers Mei Raiden and Kiana, or As a fusion fighter, Kevin quickly adapted to the extreme environment in the universe that could kill ordinary people instantly.

While approaching the metal bouquet, Qiyana's voice suddenly rang softly in the consciousness of the other two.

(By the way, Kevin, I have never had a chance to ask you from a hostile position before, is this throne a relic built in the pre-civilized era?)

(Um.)

Kevin responded lightly.

(Captain Shubai took advantage of our legacy on the moon, injected the [cocoons] of two different worlds into the usurper's god rank, and awakened the throne.)

Before departure, Herrsrscher and Aponia, who are now on standby on the Hyperion, have linked the consciousness of most of the people participating in this operation.

Of course, unlike those in the past, now they have not reached the state of opening their whole bodies and minds to each other.

This link of consciousness is just a means to communicate with each other in a smoother way in the vacuum field where it is difficult to communicate with each other.

Rewriting the world, rewriting time, and revising history... Unlike most of the previous situations, this time, their ultimate goal can be said to be far from the "fight against the collapse".If it wasn't for the emergence of that Time Transcender——[Captain], it would have been impossible for them to even come up with this plan based on the original ones.

Whether it is Kiyana or Kevin, or even most of the Valkyries and Ying Jie who originally belonged to their respective worlds, they are not prepared to become people like Otto, and they rarely have such things as "reversal of time". , Forcibly modifying the past" and other ideas.

However, the reason why they don't have such an idea is just because they all know that this idea is meaningless and almost impossible to realize, and it never means that the desire itself will not appear.

Want to do this, but spontaneously deny the existence of this possibility from a rational point of view, so they will not forcibly violate the rules of the world's operation and pursue miracles that cannot happen-this is the idea of ​​​​normal people, It is also the conclusion drawn by most people based on rational thinking.

Therefore, when Li Shubai turned this fantasy into a plan with specific steps and put it in front of his eyes, both Qiyana and Kevin, of course, let go of their past fights and chose the path to the future. The path of miracles.

(The exact location of [Cocoon] in the real world...it should be on the moon, right?) Leiden Mei pondered for a moment, and asked tentatively in the depths of her mind, (Although everyone agrees that [Cocoon] is located in the imaginary space, since Being able to put its own power into the real world, it should also have an entity in the sense of real numbers, rather than a fictional existence that only exists in abstract concepts.)

(Yes)

Kevin nodded.

(Before landing on the moon, it has already visited other planets in the solar system. On different planets, the working methods and results of [Final Yan] are completely different.)

"We have arrived."

As Kevin's voice rang quietly in the ears of Kiana and Raiden Mei, the surrounding air returned to a state where sound could be transmitted.

There was no one on the cold and lonely throne. Li Shubai and Qiyana [The Herrscher of the End] stood in the center of the clean platform, and nodded slightly to the three who came here.

"You are here." Li Shubai said, "Alysia and the others have already entered the infiltration cabin of consciousness mapping, and several herrschers with the power of reason are also on standby on the Hyperion. Next, we will The work that should be carried out by several 'finally'."

"..." Qiyana looked around, and suddenly frowned, "I don't seem to feel the breath of [cocoon] around here?"

"Well, I left it on the Hyperion." Li Shubai nodded, "What I need is the 'time' recorded by the sense organs emitted by [cocoon], not the time it holds. Some abilities, if you want to complete the reproduction of the truth on a planetary scale, simply relying on the energy stored in the Hyperion will not work."

"But if we lose the help of [Cocoon], how will we intervene in the world 5 years ago?"

"This is actually not contradictory." Li Shubai shook his head, "I did leave the entity of [Cocoon] on the Hyperion, but in the final analysis, it is still through the imaginary space that it can release the existence of Herrscher to the real world. You should know that whether it is the imaginary number space or the universe we live in-in the final analysis, there needs to be some [anchor point] in order to fix a world that can be touched, right?"

"If I remember correctly, Dr. Schrödinger seems to have said similar things to us." Leiden Mei showed a pensive expression.

"Well." Li Shubai nodded, "In the real world, the thing that anchors the concept of space is the planet—or the so-called 'universal gravitation'; Imaginary number space] is the residue of information.”

"Currently, the imaginary spaces that we know of—such as the Land of Origin, the space of Kaslana's stigmata, and the imaginary spaces anchored by [Cocoon]—are spaces that can only be formed through similar means. "Li Shubai said, "And they, without exception, have direct or indirect connections with this [world] anchored by the earth."

"You want to measure the specific range dominated by [cocoon] through the imaginary space anchored by [cocoon]?" Kevin said.

"To be precise, this question has already been answered." Li Shubai said lightly, "We all know that the so-called [cocoon] is actually a kind of extraterrestrial object with a specific reality and a specific physical structure. As far as civilization is concerned, the knowledge and ideas contained in [Cocoon] are too detached from understanding, so there is no way to analyze them. But in terms of performance, the scope that [Cocoon] can control does not actually exceed the scope of the Earth-Moon system , Therefore, our so-called 'modification of time' is actually nothing more than modifying the phenomena within the scope of the earth and the moon."

"Compared to the scope of [Cocoon]'s interference, what I want to know more is how big is the world we live in..."

"..." Kiyana glanced at the endless sea of ​​stars, frowning slightly, "This world... do you mean [universe]?"

"No, it has nothing to do with the universe." Li Shubai shook his head, "The Hyperion has various functions such as traveling through time and space, crossing the sea of ​​quantum, and crossing the space of imaginary numbers. Most of the spaceships we own, but even so...the current Hyperion alone is completely unable to go deep into the universe."

"As for the reason..." While speaking, Li Shubai turned his gaze towards Qiyana's direction, "As the Herrscher of the End, you should know it yourself."

Kiyana closed her eyes for a short while, then nodded immediately: "...if I leave the world dominated by [Cocoon], the so-called Houkai energy won't be able to reach me."

"That's the thing." Li Shubai said softly, "If we want to go on interstellar travel, we can't rely on the power of Houkai energy, but we have to find a way to control another kind of power that is different from Houkai energy and can travel deep in the universe. Get replenished energy everywhere.”

"Of course, even if it's interstellar travel, it can only be done after we fix the world back on track." Suddenly, Li Shubai turned his gaze towards Kevin and chuckled, "Maybe at that time , I have to rely on your girlfriend's strength."

"...I can't decide for her about MEI's affairs. After the matter is over, you might as well ask her if she is willing to help you." Kevin shook his head helplessly, and after a moment of hesitation, he added, "In addition , as far as the branch of engineering is concerned, compared to MEI, Wei Wei's knowledge seems to be more in line with your requirements."

Chapter 353 The Horizon Inversion 4K

Li Shubai shook his head, and suddenly changed his topic: "In-depth research on the universe is a very special project. This kind of research project will have a great impact on the researchers' world outlook and values."

"Why are you saying this all of a sudden?" Kevin said.

"Because, precisely because the world we live in is so crazy, it is necessary for Dr. Mei to let other researchers in this world fight against what you want with the most sober face while maintaining his own desire to explore the unknown. The enemy we are facing." Li Shubai glanced at Kevin, "In fact, Dr. Mei is a very lucky person. Although in that era 5 years ago, Dr. Mei's absolutely rational way of thinking made many people feel afraid, but because With someone like you who won't go crazy because of what she perceives... or because she doesn't understand anything, so even hearing her judgments won't have any effect by her side, that absolutely rational Doctor, will retain his human side until the end."

"Why do I feel that you are secretly calling me stupid?" Kevin sighed.

"Nonsense." Li Shubai snorted coldly with disdain, "I clearly pointed at your nose and scolded."

The two Qiyana and Raiden Mei looked at each other, and they both saw a helpless smile in each other's eyes.

The moment Li Shubai's voice fell, a deep crack suddenly appeared in the void above the five people.

"It seems that the people on the Huberian side have already started." Li Shubai raised his head and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Will you go or me?"

"Let me come." Kevin's expression became cold again, "Although your body is not weak, compared with me who participated in the Chimera Project, you are still slightly weaker in all aspects after all. .”
