Falling into the Cretaceous

Shen Ye was indeed somewhat surprised by Mike's change.

I had planned to turn him into my bodyguard only after he realized he had angered the public, but now it's happened earlier than expected, and not because of any threat, but because he saw my core value.

Human nature is complex and cannot be completely calculated.

People behave differently in different situations, but the most important thing is whether they can be relied upon in critical situations.

Clearly, he is reliable this time.

If he had questioned his decision even slightly and acted uncooperatively, his plan would not have succeeded.

"You can take these three Deinonychus and deal with them as you see fit. Whether you roast them or make them into teppanyaki, it's up to you."

Shen Ye pointed to the three Deinonychus.

"Brother Ye, leave it to us!"

Zhou Jian said, and Shen Ye nodded. He then turned around and found a place to relieve himself.

Ning Yan awkwardly pointed to the crack in the stone in front of her.

There was a strong smell of urine there.

Clearly, this must be the women's toilet, where they relieved themselves during the day.

On one side of the crevice was a rock more than a meter high, which was just enough to cover one's body. It was only seven meters away from the campsite and five meters away from the edge of the forest, so it was indeed relatively safe.

Shen Ye touched his nose, then turned around and casually dealt with it.

After returning, Ning Yan asked, blushing.

"Um, Shen Ye, can I ask you something?"

"Ahem! I don't have a girlfriend." Shen Ye cleared his throat and joked. He remembered that Ningbo had said he would introduce his mother to him, so he just replied casually.

"You're so irrelevant! That's not what I was asking!"

Ning Yan's face flushed red.

"That's not it. Go ahead and ask!"

Shen Ye nodded, becoming serious.

"Are you sure this is Late Cretaceous North America?" Ning Yan asked.

"To be honest, I can't be sure. Judging from the latitude and longitude, we should be in the western United States, but after seeing the dinosaurs we encountered today, I'm a bit confused."

Shen Ye shook his head.

"Why do you say that?" Ning Yan asked, frowning.

"When the plane crashed, what you saw was a Quetzalcoatlus. This creature mainly lived between 7000 and 6600 million years ago—no, we shouldn't use 'years ago,' we should say 'around the 21st century.'"

Shen Ye corrected him, saying, "That is, the Late Cretaceous period. It was also in North America, just like the West Clawed Dragon, both being contemporaries and from the same region."

"However, Baryonyx and the Deinonyx we just discovered are both from the Early Cretaceous, which is 1 million years ago. Baryonyx was from Europe, so I can't be sure where or what era this is from."

Shen Ye told the truth.

Ning Yan also fell into deep thought.

"Is it possible that we never actually traveled to the prehistoric world? After all, time travel is such a fantastical thing," Ning Yan said.

Why are you suddenly asking this?

Shen Ye asked with a wry smile.

"During the day, we met a physicist who was seriously injured. He told me that it was impossible to travel back to the Cretaceous period and went on to explain a lot of theories that I couldn't understand," Ning Yan said.

"Take me to see him!"

Shen Ye's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said.

Ning Yan nodded and led Shen Ye to the door of the rear cabin of the plane. Shen Ye asked He Yun inside to open the railing.

Where is he?

Shen Ye was eager to meet this physicist.

"There you are, Mr. Roosevelt."

Ning Yan walked up to an elderly European man.

Shen Ye smelled the stench of pus filling the entire cabin. He glanced at the people around him and knew that they would most likely die here.

However, he was helpless.

So he went directly to the physicist named Roosevelt.

"Mr. Roosevelt, excuse me, but could you please explain your theory to me? What exactly is going on in this world? Did we not travel back in time to the Cretaceous period?"

Shen Ye asked very urgently.

"Mr. Shen... God's savior, but I'm afraid I won't survive. My chest hurts terribly, and both my legs are broken..."

Roosevelt did not answer immediately, but instead spoke of his health.

Shen Ye felt very sorry for him.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."

Shen Ye didn't know what to say. He hadn't shown any concern for the patient's condition when he arrived, and had instead asked him vague and unrelated questions. This was incredibly cold-blooded towards the patient.

"It's okay, it's not your fault."

Roosevelt remained silent for a long while before speaking.

"Young man, have you ever heard of conformal cyclic cosmology? If not, it's hard for me to explain it to you."

Roosevelt said.

His voice was very hoarse.

Shen Ye took out half a bottle of water from his pocket and fed it to him directly.

"I've heard of it. It's a cosmological model proposed by Nobel laureate in physics Roger Penrose, which posits that the universe is composed of countless successive 'generations.' Is that correct?"

Shen Ye asked.

Aside from not learning how to make money, Shen Ye knows a lot of other strange and unusual things. He had heard of this theory before.

"Yes, the theory suggests that the universe did not end in the 'Big Crunch,' but rather moved towards infinite expansion and a 'heat death.' In the distant future, when the universe consists only of massless photons, spacetime scales become meaningless. Through the mathematical transformation of 'conformal mapping,' this infinitely large final state is geometrically equivalent to the next infinitely small starting point of the 'Big Bang,' achieving a seamless transition..."

Although Shen Ye had heard of this theory, he couldn't really have a conversation with a real physicist because he couldn't understand many of the technical terms they used.

"Um, can I understand it this way? Simply put, we did travel through time, but not back to the past. Instead, we traveled through a white hole to the next cycle of the universe, which happens to be in the Cretaceous period, right?"

Shen Ye tried to organize what he understood.

"That's about it. According to special relativity, we can't travel back to the past, but through the time dilation effect, it's theoretically possible to reach the future... A cyclical universe can't be the same as the previous one because there are always subtle differences at the particle level in a cyclical universe. Due to the butterfly effect, this Cretaceous period is different from the Cretaceous period in our universe..."

Roosevelt kept talking.

Shen Ye felt embarrassed to interrupt him.

To avoid making the elderly feel like they didn't understand, that would be so disappointing!

He had almost finished drinking the bottle of water.

"Mr. Roosevelt, if that's the case, do we still have a chance to go back?"

Shen Ye asked the most crucial question.

This is the issue that everyone cares about; all other theories are just empty words and nobody cares.
