The establishment of the Time Travelers Alliance began in the first year of Conan

Chapter 15 Reality Stability Index

In three days and nearly two months, CYZ gradually moved from a scrappy startup organization to the right track of development.

Especially in the last month, with the emergence of the timeline change meter, not only Lin Sheng, but all those who carried out TDD were able to have more time in a day.

Therefore, this also allows Lin Sheng to allow executive-level personnel to focus more on "plot characters" in addition to managing the daily affairs of the alliance.

This is a huge mountain that cannot be avoided on the road to the alliance's development.

The two task forces of the Reality Intervention Department, Story Guiders and Cause Trackers, were also assigned related tasks.

Of course, the mission files they received did not contain clear and terrifying words such as "plot characters". They only received instructions to hide themselves and monitor the carriers of the "absolute time nodes".

"Absolute Time Node"

This was the conclusion drawn by the operations level after the task force called "Plot Guides" under the command of the Reality Interference Department completed a failed mission.

This brings us to the fact that when TDD was invented, researcher Bai and other theoretical experts designed a real stability index to judge and indicate whether a "cycle" occurred.

That is the RSI index.

After monitoring the data of people wearing TDD in the "loop", researchers from the Temporal Exploration Department discovered the formula for calculating the reality stability index under normal circumstances.

Typically this value is between zero and one hundred, and the formula is:
RSI =(0.5× TC)+(0.3× PLS)+(0.5× CC)+(0.1× CS)
TC, the abbreviation of Temporal Consistency, is temporal consistency, which is used to measure the regularity of time flow.

PLS represents the stability of the "physical laws" in the scientific world. Of course, considering that the "physical laws" are more like a man-made attribute used to describe the laws of the universe.

Lin Sheng prefers to use it to represent the adaptability of a standard human being in that environment.

Researchers in the CYZ Alliance have suggested that if the value in a certain area is too low, it may mean that the area, dimension or territory is no longer suitable for human survival.

Some even joked: "Maybe the devil exists in the area where the RSI index is below 50."

The relationship between causal consistency, that is, CC value, and temporal consistency, that is, TC value, is very close and the most important.

"Usually, these two values will rise and fall at the same time, so that the end of the 'cycle' does not cause errors in the details of the world."

Bai Zichen believes that this is the reason why the pasta that Lin Sheng discovered the flight attendants also ate on the plane would not be actually consumed in the "cycle".

"So this is why the pasta I ate actually disappeared?"

Lin Sheng realized the problem, and he soon realized that if he could try to influence it, CYZ would even achieve extremely fast development in a very short period of time.

"Then if we try to influence it instead..."

"Absolutely not!!" Lin Sheng's question made Bai Zichen break out in a cold sweat, even though he felt that he had encountered this before during the experiment and might have tried some crazy ideas.

But Lin Sheng's idea was still too dangerous, so he quickly persuaded Lin Sheng to give up the idea:
"Because time is a very precise system. Imagine if we were in this winter-summer 'cycle' you're talking about."

"Suppose we prevent the summer that should have arrived at the end of the 'cycle' from happening," Bai Zichen made a simple mental calculation, "the storms caused by the temperature change and the tsunamis caused by the shift in ocean currents alone would likely be enough to destroy many countries with weak industrial capabilities!"

"I strongly recommend that you don't even consider this!"

Lin Sheng smiled and didn't respond directly:
“Should I put the establishment of an ethics and governance committee and the design of a charter on the agenda?”

Of course, the most surprising thing, which made the voices inside CYZ shouting "physics does not exist" even louder, was the discovery of the last key value.

It stems from a very interesting set of results: while Lin Sheng always gets an accurate result whenever he wears it, different people wearing the same Timeline Variation Meter in exactly the same environment get different values. It's as if something invisible is interfering with it.

Even the same person in the same place at different times of the day will still get different results.

Then a theory based on the synchronization of consciousness was proposed, although this anthropic principle is simply telling researchers that the world itself is actually idealistic.

This value is used by the CYZ Alliance to measure the cognitive consistency between humans and the environment.

Fortunately, the CS value, that is, the synchronization of consciousness, has a very small impact on the final RSI value, but this is still another major earthquake in the cognition of everyone within the CYZ research layer.

After all, consciousness can actually interfere with matter!

To be precise, consciousness can interfere with time!

In short, the smaller the RSI value, the more unstable the reality is, which means the easier it is to be changed by the "cycle".

Faced with the results obtained, the research and exploration level naturally wailed. After all, their imagination of "science" in their minds was crushed again.

But the various combat and security departments under the Operations and Protection Layer were still very happy.

The method of detecting consciousness synchronization greatly reduces the difficulty of screening members. After all, this is one of the few ways they can increase the time task force members use TDD through training.

Most importantly, the situation where people suddenly disappear because the RSI value drops too quickly and there is no time to exit the task of monitoring "plot characters" has been greatly improved.

People with low CS values will be assigned to other easier tasks. After all, this is also the most common "loop" error encountered by the task force sent by Lin Sheng, especially the "Tracker" task force that monitors Kudo Shinichi, when conducting research on a key figure code-named "Death God".

Although they can figure out exactly when they are in the "loop" with the help of TDD, the analogy of how TDD helps them is -

The task force members have changed from names that appeared in narration and background introductions to passers-by characters with rough outlines.

However, when they were too close to Kudo Shinichi, or even sometimes there was still a long distance between them, the rapidly declining RSI value caused them to be swallowed up by the "cycle" again.

"I just thought it was time to get off work..."

This was the response received from another task force when they discovered these beings being devoured by the "loop".

For those who fall back into the "loop", they will quickly fall into various normal "reality timeline" developments.

For example, when you are halfway through your walk, you suddenly realize that someone has come to take over your shift, or you suddenly "discover" that today is actually a holiday and you don't have to go to work.

The worst case scenario was that one member completely forgot that he was a member of the CYZ Alliance. He thought he was still a failed writer until he was found by the organization while typing because of the positioning system in his watch.

Therefore, Lin Sheng particularly emphasized——

No department other than the Operations Department is allowed to approach within three kilometers of "Death".

After all, these are the best talents that Lin Sheng has found through great difficulty in this cycle to provide the CYZ organization with action, research, planning and expansion and development.

For example, Bai Zichen, who invented the timeline change measuring instrument, would suffer a huge loss to the alliance if all the knowledge in his mind was reset to the "real timeline" due to the loop.

For Kudo Shinichi, everything that went wrong happened that afternoon after he and Xiaolan got out of school.
