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

Chapter 65: Cyclic Spacetime Structure

The CYZ Alliance has been extremely busy recently, and has almost no time to pay attention to the various changes in the [real timeline].

As a result, the Alliance had almost no extra response to the movements of the Red and Black factions, except for providing some minor help to the [Science Frontier] organization.

the reason is simple--

The entire alliance is now preparing to evacuate.

"Currently, both timelines have shown a greater exclusion of operational-level members."

The calculated data of the Reality Analysis Department was quickly delivered to Hitomi Shigenobu and other executive-level council members.

Hitomi Shigenobu projected the curve showing the decreasing TDD usage time to the center of the conference room.

The cold blue light reflected on everyone's face.

"This problem can no longer be solved by simply selecting those with high CS scores as members of the operation team, or by increasing the number of batches and reducing the operation time of a single mission."

Her voice was calm and firm, but there was a hint of worry in her eyes.

"We can't afford any less time for the [Absolute Time Node] operations and investigations. If this trend continues, we're likely to face—"

She paused, her eyes scanning everyone present, hoping that others would understand what this meant.

A member of parliament quickly understood the seriousness of the matter and took over the conversation with a heavy tone.

"This means we are very likely to lose our source of intelligence on Kudo Shinichi."

"That's right," another councilman nodded in agreement. "Regardless, it takes time for the task force to arrive at the surveillance location and change shifts. Furthermore, it takes time to set up and hide the various instruments and devices."

"And the dual timeline's modifying effect on TDD users begins the moment they leave the base. If this trend continues—"

"In the future, the Alliance's dispatched forces may very well fall back into the [Loop] as soon as they come into contact with [Kudo Shinichi], causing the operation to fail."

Shigenobu Hitomi pulled up another document and projected it into the center of the conference room. Her tone was very serious.

"ZC-01 has approved the evacuation plan we submitted. I hope everyone will never forget the sacrifices made by ZC-01."

"Based on the findings of the Time Research Department and the Timeline Reconstruction Design Bureau, and the recommendations of the research layer, for the next period of time, all APTX-4869 production will be used to expand and maintain that alliance's own circulation node."

"Our mission is to transfer all core departments and the alliance's important assets to the alliance's [cycle] before the next [cycle]!"

In fact, for the entire alliance, the plan to escape from the Conan universe was proposed by the research level as early as the beginning.

After all, facing an object that is completely impossible to defeat, facing the malice of the entire universe.

What better way than to stay away from this threat?

You know, the voices of the "utilization faction" actually grew rapidly after the second or even third [cycle], after the discovery of the time crystal and the successful guidance of Conan several times.

Before this, for departments such as the Timing Department and the Exploration Department, which were conducting research step by step and seriously.

The Narrative Studies Department is just a bunch of guys shouting slogans and trying to get to the top overnight.

Apart from coming up with some designs that would embarrass the Logistics Equipment Department and making some demands that were almost impossible to achieve, they could do nothing else.

In order to achieve their original goals, the "escape faction" who believed that the latter was more realistic made tremendous efforts.

Those devices involving the timeline, or a huge explosion, are all part of their masterpieces.

After the executive level discovered that this originally abolished plan could actually have some other uses.

It has now been put back on the agenda.

In addition to the micro-reality anchor developed with the technology of the Timeline Stabilization Chamber as the core, the Timeline Reconstruction Design Bureau and the Temporal Continuity Department also came up with a brilliant idea.

They have been secretly diverting resources to continue this research -

Intercept a small section of water from two "rivers of time".

The essence of [cycle] is the movement of timeline, which is the repair mechanism of the universe.

It can make both the story and reality more "rationalized". The [loop] is the product of the universe trying to force two different operating logics and two systems to operate.

Its beginning and end mean the intersection and separation of two timelines.

The Timeline Reconstruction Design Bureau wrote in the uploaded plan document:

"So, if we only take advantage of the 'timeline separation effect' at the end of the [cycle]."

"You can try to isolate an independent [loop] from both the [real timeline] and the [story timeline]."

All these breakthroughs were made possible thanks to Dr. Agasa's experience of being forced to "loop" in the [story timeline] in the base.

Because the incident happened in Lin Sheng's office, all the data and the resulting [cycle] fluctuations were perfectly recorded.

This gives the Alliance, having obtained the Time Crystal, an opportunity to "tune" it.

Finally, what appeared before Lin Sheng was a "small" device——

A circular platform that is only about 3 meters long.

The entire cover of the platform is a quantum field controller, which can calibrate the boundaries of the circulation area in real time through a laser generator. The cooling system at the bottom ensures the stable operation of the time crystal and the quantum field controller.

The most critical part is the central [circulation generator] with the time crystal as its core.

Compared to the platform which is about three meters in size, it is only about thirty centimeters long.

A hamster runs on the platform, and every time it runs to the other side, it instantly appears at the starting point.

This is a space-time loop structure generator.

"If this device is designed to be larger, according to the model, the internal [circulation] will expand exponentially. In other words, the [circulation structure] will be larger than the device itself. This also explains why the [circulation] of reality can affect the entire universe."

"As long as we increase the power of this device and set the synchronization frequency of the Akasha Locks in all major bases, we should be able to simultaneously remove the existence of the alliance on both timelines at the beginning of the next [Cycle]."

"As long as the conditions are met, the alliance will be fixed in that [cycle]."

Shigenobu Hitomi relayed the design bureau's explanation, and Lin Sheng frowned after hearing her explanation.

"Then wouldn't the Alliance itself be in a loop, in a fixed, cyclical time?"

"Yes, but we have you here," Hitomi Shigenobu lowered her head, her eyes flashing.

"As long as you 'bug it again,' it will be fine. In other words, as long as the energy supply system you participate in exists, your own time effect will automatically be applied to the time calibrator of the [Circulation Device]."

This is the final preventive measure proposed by the researchers.

Since the boundary of [loop] space-time is maintained by the time field generated by the oscillation of the time crystal, any behavior that crosses the boundary will be reset by the "time retention effect".

Lin Sheng himself can serve as a safety measure to prevent accidents such as "infinite loop" from occurring in the loop area.

Just like the [story timeline] is essentially driven forward by [Kudo Shinichi].

It’s just that now it is Lin Sheng who is driving another cycle unique to the alliance.
