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

Chapter 97: [Gray Square] Strengthened by Reality (Please vote and subscribe QAQ)

In reality, the Alliance's interference with reality was not as easy as initially thought.

All devices consumed more energy and APTX-4869 than originally anticipated.

The analysis results of the Reality Analysis Department came out soon.

"In other words, the [real timeline] also exhibits the characteristics of 'storytelling'?"

When the Alliance first used teleportation equipment to try to interfere with the development of the [real timeline], the game between the Alliance and reality began.

Don't forget that the RSI background index of the entire real universe is still over one hundred.

This is a bit like those protagonists in novels who are poisoned but for some reason they use this to achieve supernatural powers.

When the alliance's actions began, the [real timeline] also fought back with its own invaded "story part".

"Even after comparison, we can see from the space-time structure comparison obtained near the [Loop Gate] that although the temporal consistency and causal consistency of real logic are indeed strengthened compared to the [Story Timeline]..."

"However, the stability of physical laws has changed due to the fluctuations in Kudo Shinichi's consciousness."

For the Alliance, the equipment they have is completely in line with the physical rules of the [real timeline].

"And the [Real Timeline] is attempting to induce minor changes in time and space within a certain range by guiding Conan, which will pose a certain risk to the operation of our equipment."

It's a bit like two supercomputers with almost unlimited computing power playing chess against each other.

Each side tries to be one step ahead of the other.

One is the [Real Timeline], which can calculate all changes in the universe;
One is the [Alliance Loop Line], which attempts to explore the future that has escaped.

The two sides fought hard.

Until the [real timeline] drags Conan down.

You should know that the formula of RSI is RSI value = (0.5× TC)+(0.3× PLS)+(0.5× CC)+(0.1× CS).

The Alliance can fit all factors in reality that cause changes in RSI values, except for the CS value that represents the synchronization of consciousness.

Especially Conan's CS value.

The other three elements will be reflected in the environmental changes in real time and space, and the [Loop Gate] serves as the bridgehead of the alliance in the dual timeline.

Lin Sheng, who possesses the power of [Loop], can manually compete with the [Real Timeline] in terms of computing power in a short period of time.

But there is no way for Conan.

The Alliance couldn't even obtain a complete RSI value overall change curve around Conan.

Not to mention using equipment to detect changes in Conan's consciousness synchronization.

"Fortunately, the current production of APTX-4869 is sufficient. As a symbolic product of the [cycle], we can directly use it to obtain the next moment's RSI value change to protect the equipment."

Hitomi Shigenobu was somewhat glad that she had not agreed to some of the research requests previously put forward by the Time Exploration Club because she felt they were "too extravagant."

At present, the players in the [Story Timeline], [Real Timeline], and the Alliance are all closely watching any "cheating behavior" of either party.

And check and balance each other.

"Well... we still can't let the Alliance compete with the entire reality in terms of resource consumption..."

Just as Yuto Kinoshita complained, a jump of just a dozen kilometers would require the use of 5 units of time crystals.

At this rate, no amount of APTX-4869 would be enough for the alliance to consume.

In fact, considering the importance of this mission.

The alliance temporarily allocated 30% of the time crystals from the research reserves of the research layer for this mission.

Even though this caused widespread grief among the entire research community, there was nothing that could be done.

Compared with the entire scientific universe, the Alliance's own [cycle] is still too small, and materials such as time crystals will not recover with the [cycle].

After all, they are part of the cycle.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Sheng's expression first became solemn, and then relaxed.

Then he comforted the worried Hitomi Shigenobu.

"And it's not like there's no good news."

"Now we need to pay more attention to the 'frontiers of science'."

For the Alliance, the most surprising thing is the results achieved by "Science Frontiers" in this interference operation against GSSRA.

To some extent, the contribution of Science Frontier in this operation is even greater than that of the Alliance!

This is the advantage of putting on a vest and then going out to beat people up - it is also a cheating device that does not conform to the current technological level.

Due to the need to write stories in the [real timeline], the escort vehicle was actually corrected in reality after the [loop] ended.

The league will need to use equipment that utilizes time crystals to additionally calibrate the effects of RSI fluctuations.

Likewise, sleeper agents deployed by the Alliance themselves could easily be viewed with more legitimate suspicion when attempting to interfere with GSSRA operational orders.

They have to expend greater energy and cost to escape attacks from their political opponents, suspicions from their superiors or reports from their subordinates.

And what about the “boundaries of science”?

As described before, a large number of people, motivated by their own ideals and beliefs, actively or passively assisted the actions of the Gray Side.

Some of them were completely unaware of the existence of the organization "Science Frontiers".

This is entirely because [Kudo Shinichi] acknowledged the "boundaries of science"——

In his subconscious, no matter what, he had a certain favorable impression of the force that he believed had saved him.

The letter that Dr. Agasa showed him at that time further strengthened his belief that this was a "high-tech" organization.

Therefore, even if the [real timeline] is extremely unhappy, it can only accept the [Gray Side] with a pinch of its nose.

We even have to proactively provide certain technical corrections.

The conclusion drawn from this analysis even made Lin Sheng laugh.

On the contrary, an organization under the alliance can use those "support equipment" more easily than the alliance itself.

"However, this technological correction has a limit. Currently, a research request has been issued for the scientific research team to try to explore the limits of this technological correction."

Lin Sheng then issued research instructions to the research level and immediately obtained the future speculation results of the Narrative Department.

"In other words, the current speculation is that, aside from some technologies and materials developed using the characteristics of time crystals, as well as 'detective equipment' that can be reasonably integrated into reality—"

"Do devices like jump devices, offensive or defensive devices that attempt to interfere with atomic matter below the level, mind manipulation, dimensional manipulation, and anything else unrelated to 'Detective' and 'APTX-4869' have to be stabilized using time crystals?"

Lin Sheng couldn't help but smack his lips in amazement.

"This is truly willful, practically slapping the idea of 'timeline' as the core of the new detective story in our faces."

If only the identity of the Gray Side had not been separated from the Alliance itself.

This thought popped up in my mind.

But then Lin Sheng shook his head and laughed.

After all, if the two identities are not separated, the alliance that has left traces on the dual timelines will never be able to successfully steal a [loop].

How many things in the world can you have the best of both worlds?

And the alliance is also not related.

[Real timeline] He is about to fall for the "truth" he revealed to Conan.

"Let this matter be ended as soon as possible."

After confirming that the plan had no major flaws, Lin Sheng announced the alliance's next action plan.

"But in order to prevent reality from going too far and also to weaken the [story timeline]."

"According to the previous plan No. 71, we still need to leave some clues for [Red Team] and Conan."

"Also, since Conan has such a great influence on the Alliance's actions, we must also try to utilize his influence."

For an alliance whose technology is based on reality, the [Real Timeline] is simply too powerful and needs to be weakened!
Lin Sheng felt it necessary to provide some support to the [Story Timeline].

"Get ready to come up with a plan based on the Black side, Hitomi."

"Try to make the next [cycle] come as soon as possible. I believe the [story timeline] won't interfere with us this time."

"And, whether it's out of a need for a method to make APTX-4869 or a need to divert Conan's subconscious attention."

"We all need to make Black move."

The damage done to the universe by ten thousand theatrical versions combined is not as great as the damage done to the universe by the problem with the timeline.

Compared to immediately making Conan aware of things like the timeline.

It would be safer for him to focus on how to transform himself back into [Kudo Shinichi] now.
