Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 579 Travel in the Time Labyrinth
Night God covered his body with the out-of-control organs.

Under the influence of the four-dimensional organs, the Gem Eye began to change continuously, sometimes appearing deathly white, and sometimes shimmering with light.

Zhou Yi asked worriedly, "Won't doing this damage your health?"

"It'll be okay."

Yagami remained calm: "Although it is a combination of the clockwise and counterclockwise devices, it is still just organ remains and cannot truly enter the timeline of the past and future. It is even safer than the previous broken clockwise device."

"It can only jump back and forth between the past and the future, like a roly-poly toy, unable to settle into a fixed state. This is because it is incomplete and deformed."

"As long as I remove it, my original state will remain the same as before."

Zhou Yi immediately felt relieved: "That's good."

He then asked, "However, even a damaged clockwork mechanism can provide localized acceleration. Like the coiled tree, the exploring vine, the caveman... I wonder if it can also accelerate the evolution of more complex life forms, such as gerbils?"

Don't do that.

Yagami said with a serious expression, "You must not forget. They are all severely deteriorated organs, and their functions are extremely incomplete."

"The cave people have a simple structure and are not afraid of mass death. They live in the purple sun environment and are used to the evolutionary transformation caused by strong external stimuli."

"The Exploration Vine and the Pan Tree have been modified by the Celestials and can withstand the high-energy ecology of Jupiter. In addition, they are very stable plant forms with strong resistance to pressure and endurance."

"But for real life on Earth, it would be absolutely unbearable; ordinary life would die instantly. The essence of time is movement. If the speed of movement is increased by 4500 times, then the movement of internal organs and various other organs alone would be enough to cause them to burst instantly due to overload."

"Think about it."

"This is accelerating the passage of life. Even if a Skywalker-level individual can barely survive inside, there are no benefits; it only leads to rapid loss of life and aging."

"Not to mention these failing and damaged organs, which may malfunction and fail at any time."

Her words made Zhou Yi think.

indeed.

The use of Shi Weng's organ remains is very limited and carries unpredictable risks.

It's already incredibly fortunate that the cave dwellers were able to evolve and that life forms of the Jupiter Disc Tree lineage could be cultivated so quickly.

Zhou Yi then looked at Ye Shen: "Are you separating your physical body and self-consciousness now? Are you only letting the body be covered and affected by the conjoined organs? Is it possible to operate like this?"

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't joke around with my own body."

Night God observes the body beneath the four-dimensional organ.

"But I have bad news for you."

"In its current state, the main body is indeed unrestricted, but I can't use the body either. It keeps jumping around on the timeline and has lost its connection with me."

"..."

Zhou Yi was helpless.

That's still useless.

This attempt has officially failed.

Two days later.

However, good news came from Turing's side.

"Chairman, we tested that conjoined four-dimensional organ. The results show that its state is indeed constantly jumping and changing, and cannot be stabilized. However, we discovered that it can be combined with the electronic double-slit experiment."

"Simply put, it means that the old human consciousness can be refracted, focused, and projected into that four-dimensional organ through our existing double-slit device."

"This gives us an internal source of observation!"

"Although we cannot directly observe the interior from the outside, the presence of the old human consciousness allows them to perceive the various changes within. Of course, those who enter will also continuously jump between the advance and retreat of time."

Zhou Yi knew that Electromechanical Life would not speak without reason, so he immediately asked, "Have you found an application value for this deformed organ?"

"Yes."

Turing said, "Chairman, we request that the emerald be placed inside the conjoined four-dimensional organs for coverage."

"In this way, theoretically, the internal glass man can be restored, and through the old human consciousness, we can see what it has gone through."

Zhou Yi's brows relaxed.

That's a good perspective.

"However, is this dangerous for the old human consciousness?"

"Please rest assured, conjoined organs can only jump in time and cannot truly be in a stable state. So even if they are constantly superimposed between death and survival inside, once they are removed from the four-dimensional organ's coverage, they will return to their original state before leaving."

"But traveling through time turbulence is unprecedented and may be terrifying and unbearable for people."

Turing explained, "Currently, we have used the bottle-in-the-bottle technique to bring out two more old human consciousnesses. However, their acceptance is not as good as Xu Yuhang and Kobayashi Hina, so Xu Yuhang and Kobayashi Hina are still the most suitable candidates. It's just that we don't know if they can overcome their psychological barriers and are willing to try."

Zhou Yi said, "I'll go and talk to them."

He arrived in front of the detection screen built from gem cells.

On the screen, Xu Yuhang is playing a shooting game in front of the TV, while Kobayashi Hina is trying on all sorts of clothes in the dressing room.

Although the restoration of the old human world will take some time.

However, these early rescued human consciousnesses have already begun living lives that are no different from normal lives.

Although they cannot leave the house for the time being, the house has been upgraded by Yagami into a large villa fully furnished with all kinds of furniture.

Zhou Yi said through the microphone, "Gentlemen, there's something I need to discuss with you." Xu Yuhang and Yang Cai then turned around.

After listening to the content of this experiment.

Hina immediately agreed happily: "Okay, that sounds interesting! A journey through a time maze, this is an experience you don't get to have every day."

Xu Yuhang said, "I'd like to go too. But could I offer some advice?"

"Please say."

"When you install a door and a window for us, could you please knock before coming in? It feels like you can see everything clearly at any time, like there are surveillance cameras everywhere, it's...it's a bit creepy, it reminds me of my homeroom teacher..."

Zhou Yi said there was no problem.

This is a reasonable demand.

The previous observations of the figure in the bottle were for experimental data. Now that projection interferometry has been completed and the device has entered the carrier space constructed by the gem cells, there is no longer a need for constant observation from here.

"Then I'm fine."

Xu Yuhang said.

After the agreement was reached, the entire experiment was quickly prepared.

A new double-slit optical tube was installed on the gem device, connecting to the other side. There, beneath the four-dimensional organ, lay the emerald, its fibrous fragments moving erratically like dust floating in sunlight.

Through the double seam, two old human consciousnesses were placed into the emerald.

The first phase of the experiment was set to last 2 minutes.

Zhou Yi could only see that inside the emerald, it was as if an invisible hand was drawing out the fibers of a glass doll, and then erasing them.

The two original humans transformed into a black and white double helix structure, within which they were repeatedly destroyed and reborn.

Time passed by minute by minute.

There was a ding.

Experiment time is up.

The equipment was disassembled.

Turing announced: "Projection over."

Zhou Yi turned his gaze to the gem device from before.

Xu Yuhang and Kobayashi Hina's figures reappeared inside.

However, they were in different states at the moment.

Kobayashi Haruna was talking excitedly, as if she was very satisfied with the whole trip and seemed to be in a good mood.

Xu Yuhang's face was deathly pale, and he looked like he was in a state of extreme shock.

Zhou Yi asked them, "Is everything going smoothly?"

"very smooth."

Hina replied energetically, "The time maze is very interesting. At first, I was quite scared because the feeling of death is very unpleasant; it's so real, and I felt like I could disappear at any moment."

"But I recovered quickly. I was constantly being reborn and dying, sometimes becoming a baby and sometimes an old woman. It felt like I was filming a movie. It was exciting and fun."

This Japanese girl, who dropped out of school early and ended up on the streets, maintains her consistent attitude of living life like a game.

Xu Yuhang's voice was noticeably weak: "It's a bit scary..."

He licked his lips: "I felt like I was dying all the time, I was numb with death. It was like being guarded by a master, and the feeling of death was so real that I didn't even know if I was still alive."

Zhou Yi comforted them, saying, "You've worked hard; this is indeed a very challenging job. However, judging from our testing equipment, neither of you has suffered any damage, so please don't worry."

"Have you seen the changes that have occurred in the glass man?"

"I saw it."

Hina said, "Sometimes he comes back to life and his body becomes whole, but it's still made up of lines, unlike us. When he's alive, he uses those lines to form some strange shapes... It feels like he's touching or shaking hands with other people of his kind."

"However, when the purple light on his body shone, his whole body broke apart and he died quickly, looking extremely terrified and in great pain."

Zhou Yi's heart skipped a beat.

The fact that ultraviolet light has lethal properties for people with fibroids has been verified once again.

Xu Yuhang hesitated for a long time.

“I spoke to him, but…”

"He acted as if he wasn't surprised by my appearance at all."

"He asked me, 'Are you from the future?' I said yes."

Then he asked a very strange question: "Has the sun been repaired?"

Zhou Yi's gaze sharpened.

The celestial beings are not only collecting the sun's energy, but also transforming this celestial body using a wall surrounding the sun.

Is the modification intended to eliminate the purple light inside?

Or something else?
