Dimensional Alliance

"Understood!" Since the representative of the human coalition forces had already spoken for the sake of speaking, no matter what he thought in his heart, the East Asian commander could only reply loudly.

--at the same time--

Jin Guangming, who has been working in Daming Fifth Construction Group for more than a month, has just finished his all-night duty. He yawned and swiped his off-duty card. He simply washed up in the shower outside the construction site and changed back into a suit , he dragged his tired body out, ready to go home and sleep after finishing breakfast in the canteen of Daming Fifth Construction Group.

Thanks to the improvement of construction efficiency, the safety of workers has been considered. Generally speaking, except for projects such as frontline positions that must be completed in the shortest time, all qualified construction groups of the Human Alliance will not continue after [-]:[-] p.m. construction.

However, the construction tasks of Shangdu University City and Zhongsi College also affected the hearts of the people in the whole Jizhou and even the large northern areas. Therefore, this construction project was approved by the special affairs office of the superior, and some safety measures can be carried out at night. Safeguard construction or preparation tasks.

Although Jin Guangming has never entered the construction industry before, before he lost his job, he often worked overtime or stayed up all night as a studio painter. Whether it is the overtime company or the night shift subsidy, the construction group is very in place, and most of the workers, including Jin Guangming, don't have much opinion on this.

But today there are some exceptions.

Before Jin Guangming walked out of the construction site, he heard a huge noise and noise coming from outside the colored steel wall of the construction site. Without much discernment, Jin Guangming could hear firecrackers, gongs and drums, and a large number of people shouting at the top of their throats. There was still some distance from the wall, and Jin Guangming couldn't hear what they were shouting clearly.

Jin Guangming, who had worked all night due to the loud noise, felt a headache, and a feeling of irritability rushed to Jin Guangming's forehead, which made Jin Guangming temporarily change his destination and walked towards the nearest wall exit.

What are these annoying guys doing?Don't you know that this is a construction site, shouldn't you gather around here?

Jin Guangming quickly walked out of the construction site wall with resentment in his heart, but before he had time to ask the security guard why he didn't stop the noise of the surrounding crowd, he saw the security guard driving a truck blocking the door, and there was a red door on the door. The project leader of the Sixth School District of Shangdu University City is holding a drumstick and beating on the drum indiscriminately, which is even crazier than the groundbreaking ceremony of Shangdu University Town.

In addition to the big drum, a group of people on the truck were blowing the suona hard, but Jin Guangming didn't understand what these people were crazy about at all, he just felt that they were a little too noisy.

"What's the matter? What's the matter!?" Jin Guangming walked to a car behind the truck that was honking frantically. This was also the newly recruited construction site supervisor of Daming Construction Group in this world. There were less than 5 minutes left to swipe the card, but the supervisor seemed to have forgotten about going to work, and just kept beating the steering wheel, making the car under the seat make a shrill noise.

"Old Li! What happened!?" Maybe it was because he was too immersed in his own world, or maybe the surrounding voices overshadowed Jin Guangming's question. When Jin Guangming got closer to the supervisor's ear, he turned his head to look at Jin Guangming.

"Fucking aliens! We won! We won!" The supervisor looked at Jin Guangming and shouted with tears in his eyes. His voice was a little hoarse at this time, but when he noticed Jin Guangming , he still yelled out enthusiastically, so that Jin Guangming would know what happened.

"Comrade! We have finally won! Our heroic expeditionary force has dealt a ruthless blow to those alien monsters in Eastern Europe. After half a gugak layout and battle, we have wiped out 5000 to [-] million alien monsters. The group of uninvited aliens was severely injured, and now the expeditionary force is working with other countries' legions to encircle and suppress the remaining alien monsters in Europe, comrade! We have won! The war is almost over!"

"Boom—" Behind Jin Guangming came the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. It sounded like someone also dropped something on the ground because of this "exaggerated" news.

But Jin Guangming couldn't care less about looking back to see what was happening behind him at this moment. He was stunned for a few seconds, then raised his head to look at the truck that was slowly advancing, waved his hand violently, and shouted: "Hit!" Well done!"

The noisy and harsh sounds around were so pleasant to Jin Guangming's ears at this time, he even forgot to go to the cafeteria to have breakfast, so he couldn't wait to join the celebration team.

The workers in this world celebrating around the University City of Shangdu have shown considerable restraint. In the city not far from the University City, before dawn, it has become a sea of ​​celebration.

The human coalition and the Shangdu government did not directly organize any celebration activities, but when the residents of Shangdu finally got the news that they had been looking forward to for more than five years from the radio or the Internet, they could no longer hold back their maneuvering mood. The streets were cleaned spontaneously by people, and red flags and various celebration slogans were hung on every street, every community, and every unit.

Before nine o'clock, the city of Shangdu was already full of red, red cloth, red paper, red flags, almost every household took out the red things at home, waved, hung, vented, shouted, and then laughed wildly with.

Especially on those main roads, flags of different sizes are stretched out of the window sills of almost every household. Some merchants no longer distribute leaflets, but instead send small flags to passers-by, looking from afar. , like a wave of red waves is setting off in the city.

Residents were constantly awakened by the noise around them, and after learning the reason for the noise around them, more people spontaneously joined the noisy team.

"Woo——" Two drones with ribbons flew over the city quickly, the belly of the aircraft was opened, and the leaflets printed with the news of mankind's victory in Europe fell like beautiful snowflakes, even though many people had already watched it on TV. , the Internet or other people heard the news, but when these leaflets landed on their heads, they still couldn't help but grab them.

"We have won!" "The five large characters are printed in the most prominent position of the leaflet, occupying almost half of the entire leaflet. Anyone who picks up the leaflet will only need half a second to capture the most important information.

There is no way to go to class, and probably no one cares about work, but when many school teachers and company leaders themselves rush to the streets by skipping classes and classes, none of this matters.

And Shangdu is just a microcosm of all East Asian cities. In other countries and cities that did not use red objects to celebrate the festival, all kinds of floats and parades also took to the streets, and the scale of the teams became larger and larger. But it is rare that no military police are needed to maintain order.

When the human coalition officially announced the news of victory to the public, North America on the other side of the earth was around [-]:[-] pm. The commander and his staff who had been notified by the human coalition in advance were gathering in the White_House to deal with possible emergencies .

Their choice was correct. When the North American residents or European refugees returned to their places of residence after a busy day, all TV and radio programs were forcibly transferred to the North American main station of the Human Alliance.

"We_won!"

The announcer's voice came from the loudspeaker, and then the entire North American society was completely fried.

Although the people in East Asia have suffered from the war due to economic problems and the continuous casualties of the expeditionary force, North America has received hundreds of millions of refugees from Europe, and they have suffered more directly because of the alien invasion.

Now that these miseries seem to be coming to an end?

So in less than half an hour, super-large-scale parades swept across all [-] continents in North America. Many teams that had just participated in a parade during the day simply organized themselves, and immediately changed their slogans and clothes. They took to the streets, but this time, they didn't have any appeals, no complaints, they were just celebrating this human victory.

So the North American commander was also wrong.

Although a large crowd had gathered outside White_House, and these crowds were constantly shouting slogans, all teams, no matter where they came from or what their skin color was, there was no conflict at this time.

Native Americans and European refugees who blamed each other during the day can hug each other like a family at this time, and people of different ethnic groups who were fighting with each other the day before are laughing and dancing, and no contradiction can be seen.

Even the North American National Guard who maintained order outside the White_House, many of them joined the team under the infection and warm invitation of the parade crowd. Even though their clothes seemed a bit out of line with the team, they all had the same smile on their faces.

Because we won.

Humanity wins.

Volume 1022 Time War: Chapter 0988 Chapter [-] Time Regression

0988

The time given by the human coalition is very urgent. In order to completely eliminate the threat of alien aliens to the earth before the return of the European refugees, while eliminating the exposed imitator sub-units, the human forces of all countries put all their energy on the imitator. In the search of the parent body, more than 300 underground detection devices have been established, forming a dense detective network in Europe.

But perhaps when the imitation commander realized that the situation was over, he had already stopped all activities and hid himself in a deeper place underground. No matter how hard the human coalition forces put in, they failed to discover the hiding place of this alien matrix.

Seeing that the time for the human coalition to deliver meals to European refugees is getting shorter and shorter, but the troops on the front line still have not been able to find the imitator mother. The regrettable end of the victory.

Until the Babylon Federation and the foundation brought the latest analysis results about the imitator Alpha, and the newest method of finding and capturing the imitator mother body researched according to this result.

----

"You heard me right, all of our analysis shows that the abilities of these aliens are not really capable of going back in time!" February 2, 28:3 am, at this time explaining to the human coalition leadership group The person in charge is a scientist of the Foundation, and next to him are the person in charge of the Babylon [-] project and a Trisolaran engineer.

Before the "disaster" happened, the foundation itself had a considerable degree of research on the time domain. Not only did the foundation use a technology obtained from reverse research on certain contained objects, it successfully created a technology that can send people to The future of the same physical space location - Although after many years of experiments, the "future" has been proved to be a parallel world of the Foundation, but the Foundation has successfully avoided many out-of-containment crises by using this device.

Of course, it is a pity that no matter how many crises this technology has avoided for the Foundation, parallel worlds are just parallel worlds, and no matter how similar these worlds are to the Foundation world, they cannot perfectly meet the future of the Foundation world.

— just as they failed to give any warning of 'the disaster'.

Just like other important technologies of the Foundation, this technology and its related contents were all lost in that disaster. The distorted growth creatures produced by the purple gods directly engulfed the Foundation site that contained this technology. When the Foundation and By the time the GOC's rescue force arrived, the entire site had become a monstrous lair filled with the flesh and blood of a god, no longer of any rescue value.

In addition, outside the Milky Way of the Foundation world, there is also a time-disordered space listed by the Foundation as a UK-level cosmic collapse crisis.

In other worlds, the Bootes Void is just a rare astronomical phenomenon, but in the Foundation world, it is a singularity that expands outward at a rate of 100 million light-years per year, and all matter that enters this area (whether human beings or anything else), will perish in the terrible turbulence of time.

At present, the Foundation has no way to deal with this anomaly. All attempts seem to prove that the expansion of this anomaly cannot be contained by the existing technology of mankind. If the Foundation cannot find a way to suppress this phenomenon before the anomaly touches the Milky Way, Then this singularity will inevitably engulf the entire Foundation reality universe.

Therefore, after learning about the characteristics of the imitators, the Foundation is the most active organization in all worlds in capturing Alpha units, even more concerned than the Babylonian Federation responsible for researching Project 3.

Except before the human coalition forces successfully captured Alpha, the foundation had already used a large number of instruments to analyze the world and the areas where imitators appeared, and came to the conclusion that "the Hume index of this world is very high (reality is very stable)". When humans After the coalition forces captured the Alpha unit, the foundation simply packed up a number of relevant experts with a number of major sites, and went to the No. 3 engineering base to participate in the research.

The foundation originally hoped to find a way to restore its own time technology through the research of the Alpha unit. It is best to go further on this basis, so that the technology can go from observing the completion of "the future of the parallel world" to exploring the fund in a real sense. Will own the future of the material universe.

As for finding a way to suppress the collapse of the UK-class universe through research on imitators... The Foundation does not believe that a special race that can only go back in time for five days has the ability to solve a cosmic crisis.

It can't even solve its own crisis!

Of course, regarding the space-time paradox that may be caused by changing time—whether it is to the future or to the past—the Foundation’s point of view is consistent with that of the human coalition. Since this technology has been proven to be feasible on aliens, then continue to Rather than caring about those paradoxes, it is better to find out what kind of matter has the property of reversing time.

In addition, in order to decipher the reason for the imitator's ability to go back in time as soon as possible, the human coalition also invited Trisolarans, who are undergoing a more in-depth transformation of the frozen world, to participate in the project.

Since the human coalition completely handed over the frozen world to the Trisolarans, the Trisolarans who finally obtained a stable galaxy quickly invested a lot of resources in the transformation of this planet—or this alien solar system. At present, the land near the Arctic Circle in the frozen world has thawed out, and the warm current from Siberia is rushing towards the equator in an unstoppable manner. It seems that in seven or eight months, this planet will be transformed back into a suitable planet again. Habitat planet.

In addition to the Earth in the frozen world - the planet now named as the new home by the Trisolarans - Mars and the moon in this world have also been built by the Trisolarans, but the Trisolarans can also tell the difference Primary and secondary, at present, not too many resources are invested in these planets, but most of the energy is spent on the transformation of the earth.

As the Trisolarans transferred personnel, animals and plants to these planets, the society of the Trisolarans, which was initially in turmoil due to the large number of literary works imported by the human coalition forces, stabilized as expected. Judging from the communication with the Trisolarans in the last few months, the Trisolarans who have completed the initial immigration are rather reluctant to leave.

Of course, this does not mean that the Trisolarans have completely given up the development of their own technology. The Trisolarans have not forgotten that the coordinates of this world can be controlled by the human coalition. It is a very pleasant relationship, but if one day human beings surpass Trisolarans, and at that time Trisolarans have not been able to deeply influence human society, it is hard to say whether some unpleasant things will happen.

Therefore, when the Human Coalition Army invited Trisolarans to participate in research related to time regression, the reaction of Trisolarans was highly similar to that of the Foundation. The head of Trisolarans directly asked their chief scientific team to carry [sufficient] analysis equipment to No. 3 engineering base.

So less than half a month after the human coalition successfully captured Alpha, the Babylonian Federation sent exciting news.

The good news is that the human coalition forces have found a substance that can "go back in time".

But the bad news is that the time regression that the human coalition forces previously thought was not a time regression in the true sense. What he rolled back was only information, not the humans or the world that used the technology.

In fact, with the addition of the Trisolarans and the Foundation, it is not difficult for the human coalition to find the material that can go back in time. The device brought by the Trisolarans can decompose every tissue of Alpha into smaller than atoms. level.

Due to the characteristics of "individuals or areas that go back in time have a high degree of reality stability" observed by the Foundation, the human coalition forces can send these imitators' body "tissues" that are broken down to a small enough size to different worlds for testing.

If a certain unit or a certain type of unit can detect a higher Hume index in different worlds, then the human coalition will conduct further decomposition and analysis on this type of unit until it finds the minimum that can make the retrospective time substance.

And with nearly unlimited resource investment, the human coalition will test and analyze hundreds of thousands of units decomposed from the imitators every day. In fact, before the Babylonian Federation reported the news, Project No. 3 had successfully found He obtained the substance, successfully imitated it, and used it to carry out dozens of "time retrospective" experiments after that.

But... the result of time regression is completely different from what the human coalition forces thought at the beginning.

After putting in more than 2000 million kilowatt-hours of electricity, the instrument made of one kilogram of time metal (tentatively named) was successfully activated. The volunteer sitting on the instrument pressed the button "Success" five seconds after the instrument started. ", and in subsequent inquiries he claimed he had spent two days before being sent back without knowing what happened.

In order to prove that he was not lying, the volunteer revealed a series of major events that occurred in the past two days—including the fact that the human coalition forces are about to send back European refugees, the human coalition forces are about to launch victory propaganda, and so on.

These future "big events" happened one after another, and the time of occurrence was exactly the same as the news brought back by this volunteer.

At first, this was regarded by most scientists in Project 3 as a sign of successful research, but the person in charge of Project 3 temporarily suppressed the news and asked for two more sets of experiments.

If you only look at the results, these three experiments seem to have perfectly met the needs of the human coalition forces. With the increase in energy input, the human coalition forces have been able to make volunteers from two Backtracking to the present a month later, but the volunteers backtracking from two months later brought bad news:

In the "future" he experienced, the time retrospective device made by the human coalition forces can no longer be used. Neither volunteers who have used the device nor volunteers who have not used the device can pass through the device. Bring back information from the farther "future".

At first, the human coalition thought that the instrument was malfunctioning, but in the next few experiments, the instrument was able to operate normally.

This phenomenon baffled the scientists of Project 3, until the Foundation brought worse news.

Since the first experiment, the Foundation has arranged a large number of Kant counters (Hume index detectors) around the experiment site, and when the device was activated, the Foundation detected that the Hume indexes of the volunteers and the time retrospective device were all within It rose rapidly, and soon exceeded the Hume index when the level 3 reality bender activated its ability.

But the strange thing is that under normal circumstances, the contained objects or reality benders with the ability to bend reality only have an abnormally high Hume index, and the stability of reality around them is frighteningly low. These special individuals seem to be able to absorb reality. black holes that "absorb" into themselves the reality of large areas around them, giving them the ability to warp the physical universe.

But the time retrospective device is somewhat similar to the Scranton Reality Anchor. It seems to "extract" a large number of realities from another universe and put them directly into the world where the human coalition is located. When the time retrospective device is activated, these "realities" will be They are concentrated near the time retrospective device, but when the time retrospective device stops, these extracted "reality" will gradually spread evenly in the human coalition forces, gradually increasing the Hume index of the experimental site.

But again, the Foundation does not believe this is a reality drawn directly from other parallel [worlds].

In the experiments in which the human coalition forces sent people several months later, the amount of [reality] that appeared out of thin air around the time retrospective device was enough to make a large area fall into the [zero reality] area.

More than one such area appeared in that disaster. In the [Zero Reality] area, the barrier between the physical universe and the fantasy universe will be completely broken, and it will be filled with all kinds of distorted monsters born from the fantasy of various intelligent life , all the physical laws discovered and summed up by human beings since ancient times will no longer be applicable in the zone of zero reality.

Any person or object in the physical universe who goes to this area without protection will be called a twisted life due to the rapid loss of reality on the body, so only reality benders, containment objects, or Foundation-made protective equipment with high Hume index can A certain amount of time exists in the zone of zero reality.

Therefore, if a large number of [realities] appearing around the time retrospective device come from other worlds, neither the volunteers nor the extracted reality world could not have found any abnormalities.

The scientists of the foundation thought that this question would trouble them for a long time, but they didn't expect that Trisolaran's question to the volunteers gave them a new idea.

"Do you know, when you go back from the 'future' to the present, what happened to you in the 'future'?"

"I don't know, I just feel black in front of my eyes, and when I 'wake up' again, I will already be back to the present."

"Then is there a possibility..." the Trisolaran expert asked, "The you in the future are already dead when you go back in time?"

Even the Golden Foundation does not dare to say that it can fully understand what "reality" is, but according to the research of the Foundation, in places that are not suitable for human survival (such as plateaus, deep seas, space, etc.) , its Hume index will be higher, and in areas where humans are concentrated, its Hume index will become lower instead, which is one of the reasons why most anomalies or contained objects often appear in densely populated cities.

However, the reason for this situation is not that human activities will interfere with the stability of reality, but that "reality" itself will spontaneously gather towards humans. The Foundation has many speculations about this phenomenon, but no matter what the real reason is, it can be What is certain is that even ordinary people are individuals with a high Hume index.

Therefore, when the Trisolaran asked the sentence [the future you have died when going back in time], it was like a flash of light flashed through the minds of several Foundation scientists present. After they exchanged a few words in a low voice, Combined with the fact that the condition for the imitator to actively trigger time regression is [death], he soon had a rough guess about the nature of time regression.

"Maybe what we see is not the future of our world," a Foundation scientist said impatiently after leaving the room of the volunteers, "The 'time retrospective device' we have researched so far is likely to be the same as ours." Just like the previous containment, it sent people to a parallel world!"

"No, it shouldn't be 'sending' people to a parallel world, that can't explain the phenomenon that the Hume index around the device rises after the device is activated," another Foundation scientist calmly analyzed at this time, "I'm more inclined to be him in the parallel world. Instantly received information from a parallel world..."

Obviously, not everyone can keep up with the thoughts of the Foundation experts. A Babylonian Federation scientist who also participated in the question interrupted in confusion and asked: "Wait, what are you talking about?"

"Walk as you walk," the Foundation scientist couldn't wait to announce the news to his colleagues. With an excited expression on his face, he strode towards the laboratory while explaining as simply as possible, " We have new guesses about the nature of time regression," said Dr.

"In fact, the so-called time retrospective ability of this group of aliens behaved very strangely from the very beginning. Assuming that the aliens really can only go back in time for five days, then when it died five days later, it was discovered that it was a trap. If you die again immediately, won’t you be able to bring the information back to ten days ago?”

"If it is said that William Cage did not have the ability to choose a 'save point' independently because of the incomplete ability acquisition, then it would be a bit strange that the aliens with this ability are also restricted by the interval of time regression .”

"Therefore, we speculate that the conditions experienced by the aliens at that time may be consistent with the conditions we are experiencing now. The aliens are not actually sending themselves back to the 'past', but will let Alpha go through the past in a place similar to the parallel world. A 'future', when Alpha returns to the present with information from the 'future', it can create the illusion that it is going back in time."

"And it is similar to the situation in our experiment process. When aliens are exploring the 'future', they cannot explore further 'future' on this basis. Exploration is limited to a certain period of time."

During the explanation by the Foundation scientists, they had already returned to the main laboratory. After they explained their findings to other colleagues in the laboratory, the Babylonian expert who had been with them asked at this time: "But this is not the same as the Hume index." What does it matter if you go up?"

"Because the individual who was sent to another timeline eventually [died]." The Foundation scientist said extremely horrifying words solemnly.

"But those volunteers are still alive..."

"It's the volunteers on [our] timeline who are still alive, we don't know the status of these volunteers in other worlds," the Foundation scientist waved his hand, "Don't forget that our volunteers 'replaced' several of them For a few days, no matter whether they can still live normally after the time retrospective function ends, but for the volunteers who have been replaced for a few days, they are indeed 'dead' in the parallel world."

"Even after the time retrospective device is turned off, the consciousness of the volunteers in the parallel world can continue to control their bodies without any obstacles, but they also lose the time during which the volunteers control their bodies." Another Foundation scientist Added, "And the time lost by volunteers in this parallel world may also be one of the 'prices' for us to bring back information."

"The price?" A representative of the human alliance had a confused expression on his face.

"In the first time, we used more than 2000 million kilowatt-hours of electricity to let the volunteers experience a two-day 'time reversal', and the number of time reversals performed by the imitators in the battle with us is far more than that. Tens of thousands of times, even if the energy used by the imitators to go back in time is only one-tenth of ours, the accumulated energy consumption, even if the entire world's power generation is emptied, is not enough to cause disaster for these alien monsters."
