Armor-piercing bullets don't believe in carbon-based monsters

Chapter 362 A Faint Hope

An unsteady-state time crystal generator?

The moment Lin Yu uttered those words, Chen Jian was almost completely stunned.

He clearly couldn't immediately grasp the meaning of the word, but Fuxi provided an explanation right away.

A simple and easy-to-understand explanation.

"Time crystals are a type of non-equilibrium quantum matter based on quantum physics theory. They were first proposed by Nobel laureate Frank Wilczek, but until 2045, this 'state of matter' will remain at the level of speculation."

“My database does not contain any information about the actual existence of such substances or ‘concepts,’ but there are indeed a few research institutions that are trying to generate so-called time crystals using special metastable state trap generation devices.”

"They believe that the generated time crystal has spontaneous phase transition properties and can perform spatial and temporal translations across time scales spanning the speed of light by means of actively triggered quantum tunneling effects."

"Simply put, it's about traveling through time and space."

"It is seen as a possible future for faster-than-light travel, but it is simply impossible to actually build it."

"The reason is simple: with the level of technology humans will have in 2045, it will be impossible to create a 'stable metastable trap'."

"It could even be said that this prerequisite itself does not exist."

"It's like trying to keep the water level with the rim of a bowl while it's being violently and irregularly shaken from side to side; you can't do that by any means."

"Unless you can constantly change the direction of gravity as the container moves."

"But obviously, that's impossible."

Similarly, a stable metastable trap cannot be created.

"Because to create such a state, the entire universe must be in the same unstable state."

"and many more."

Chen Jian interrupted Fuxi.

He suddenly realized a problem.

This "time crystal generator" would not exist before the apocalypse.

How did it appear after the apocalypse?
The driving force that enables it to take effect is the instability of the universe.

The instability of the universe may very well lead to the occurrence of so-called cataclysmic events.

Is there a causal relationship between these two?
His expression suddenly became complicated.

He realized something.

Humanity has done far more in the fight against the apocalypse than he imagined!

It's not just about disaster preparedness facilities, nor is it just about the struggles and efforts made by seemingly abstract organizations like the Mechanicus, the Holy Blood Temple, and the City of Flowers within their own limitations.

In the shadows, some are even frantically trying to dismantle the rules of reason, using seemingly ethereal methods to create a chance for humanity to turn the tables.

圆环
This is clearly a massive, global project.

But in those small countries, how many people, how many scholars with the same level of knowledge, can survive?
The devices built in other areas of this planet were likely also built by "us".

Perhaps they had already begun preparations after first realizing the changes in the cosmic environment.

It was precisely because of the extremely tight timeframe that they were unable to leave much of a mark on this world.
Thinking of this, Chen Jian looked at Lin Yu again and then said:
"Let's get back to the main topic."

"What information can the Spirit Rhinoceros give us regarding the ring?"

Lin Yu sat up slightly, then said solemnly:
He said that the circle is not a solution, but a trigger for a bigger disaster!

"He didn't tell me the specific reason—that can only be revealed after you two formally reach a peace agreement."

"But I don't think he's lying."

"Because he doesn't need to lie. He seems genuinely eager to negotiate with you simply because he's afraid you'll somehow activate the ring."

Chen Jian shook his head.

"Do not."

"Perhaps it's because we cut off the water supply, causing a severe loss of its computing power."

It was only then that Lin Yu noticed the river water was gradually drying up.

He stared at Chen Jian in astonishment and asked in surprise:

"How did you do it?"

"It does not matter."

Chen Jian did not answer, but continued to ask:

"What other news?" "What other news did it bring?"

"Nothing."

Lin Yu first shook his head, but then suddenly asked urgently:
"Commander, can you find a way to get me out of there?!"

"He locked me up!"

“I can’t survive without so-called ‘computing power,’ but you have the same computing power, you have the same ‘artificial intelligence,’ right?”

Lin Yu's eyes were full of expectation, but Chen Jian could only shake his head.

"I also want to rescue you, but we are powerless to do so."

"All information about you is stored in the cloud. You probably think you're sitting right across from me, but in reality, this body is just a 'machine' that's remotely controlled via radio waves."

"To be honest, don't you feel that the image you're seeing right now is particularly blurry?"

After he finished speaking, Lin Yu stared wide-eyed in astonishment.

"How...how did you know??"

Chen Jian shrugged.

"I don't know how they managed to upload consciousness, but I know the principles of controlling drones perfectly well."

"So, I really have no other choice."

"Of course, we will try to find a way."

"Don't worry, it won't let you die there for now."

"Because you are its only, and only, seed."

"If there really is a Nuwa plan, you are very likely the only candidate for Suiren."

"How could such a consciousness possibly bear to 'delete' you?"

".Understood."

Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, somewhat confused, he asked:

"I've delivered the message."

"So, where should I go next?"

"go back."

Chen Jian shrugged and said:
“The connection between Lingxi and you should be physically isolated. When you appear in front of us, it would never dare to use any means to eavesdrop.”

"Otherwise, if it were invaded again, it might not be able to withstand Fuxi's overwhelming cracking of it."

"So, you still have to take the message back."

"I don't know if you can voluntarily sever your connection with this body."

"But if you can't, do you want me to help you?"

As he spoke, Chen Jian raised the explosive gun in his hand.

Lin Yu closed his eyes.

"bring it on."

Chen Jian nodded.

"It won't hurt, don't worry."

next second.

"boom!"

Gunshots rang out, and the body's head, along with its brain-computer interface, exploded to pieces.
