Bengtie: A Genius's Out-of-the-Domain Idea

"It won't be broken down by the sea, but instead draws strength from it—and there might be a price to pay, but we don't know?"

Chadwick: "Phew, I didn't expect that..."

"Indeed, it is bold and imaginative."

Black Tower: "Although I specialize in 800 scientific fields... oh, including the field of imaginary numbers, I'm not really keen on wasting my precious time on research that yields no results."

"Oh, now there are 801, including architecture and all its branches."

"In summary, this is a summary of all the research that has ever been done on the imaginary number model."

Black Tower: "Later, these drafts were picked up by a company employee who happened to be passing by on a business trip, and then they were made public."

"But ultimately, it's just a macroscopic, generalized model, and it doesn't really serve any purpose."

Of course, later, when he had more free time and the simulated universe was running smoothly, he wanted to pick up the research again, but he found that the simulated universe was too small to simulate trees and the sea.

Thus began a long-running process of upgrading the simulated universe.

Visit the memorial hall, collect materials, and refine the simulation.

And upgrading hardware, optimizing algorithms—the beginning of the whole story.

Black Tower: "What we need now is a detailed imaginary model that can be applied intuitively."

"Chadwick, you're an expert in this area, I'd like to hear your opinion—"

Chadwick began to ponder and summarize.

Ironically, Chadwick hadn't bothered to learn any of this these past few days, just wandering around aimlessly, and now he's suddenly back to his genius job.

Organizing and summarizing this information, and then rethinking it with genius, will take some time.

It's like a high school graduate who, after a summer of indulgence, is dazed from sleeping, lying around, and having too much fun, and whose mind isn't working properly, needs a little time to get back on track.

Chadwick was the same.

After a moment, Chadwick shook his head: "We can't do it."

"Or rather, we might be able to do it in the future, but to do it in just a few days... even with the wisdom of a genius, it's impossible."

Black Tower frowned: "But the reality is that we need it, and you should also understand the importance of the other world."

"Lin Yi is under too much pressure, so we must do our best to provide support and assistance."

Otherwise, this incredible opportunity could very well slip away.

Chadwick: "No, what I mean is, we don't need a truly universal, complete, detailed, reliable, and absolutely correct imaginary model."

"It's as if the imaginary number collapse pulse could still be created even without it."

"All we need is an imaginary model that can help Mr. Lin Yi in his reverse tracing process, saving him troublesome steps."

"Just like Mr. Lin Yi's 'Laplace's Demon' system, it certainly cannot completely explain all the fundamental particles and energy flows in the universe."

"But if we limit ourselves to one corner and leave enough room for variables and evolution, then the accuracy and the complete solution at the very center are no different."

Black Tower: "That's right~ We don't need a complete imaginary number model, just one that's applicable to the next few days or ten days, applicable to such a small area~"

"So what are the chances of completing it now?"

Chadwick: "The probability of completing it in one day is less than 10%, and the probability of completing it within the time limit is more than 60%. If you want it to be higher, there will be no change that makes the elusive imaginary number more intuitive."

Black Tower: "It's worth a try."

Thus, through continuous experimentation and derivation, Lancer's sudden regression greatly accelerated the progress of the "temporary imaginary model".

It was completed two days after the light cone appeared at Ruan Mei's place, five days before the end of the Holy Grail War ritual.

On the very day the light cone was created, the Black Tower left to build the "simulated universe".

So essentially, Chadwick did the majority of the work to buy Lin Yi those five days.

An expert in the field of imaginary numbers, nothing more.

Chapter 402 The Abyss's Heretical Fighting Method

"Simulated Universe"

Black Tower: "Thank goodness for Screw and Stephen, the two of you helped, otherwise it would have been impossible to build the 'Simulated Universe - Another World' so quickly."

"It just so happens that Chadwick's imaginary number model has also been released, and Lin Yi's side may release some results at any time, which need to be verified by the 'simulated universe'."

"We need to speed things up here too."

Ruan Mei: "I received a message from Lin Yi that we must completely understand and comprehend the characteristics of the Heroic Spirits, even if we ultimately fail to find the source by tracing back to the source."

"We can also place some marks on Saber and Archer, waiting for a similar Holy Grail War to take place over there, and for Saber and the others to be summoned as Heroic Spirits."

“We can commit a little ‘suicide’ in a subtle way, become a Heroic Spirit and pass through like Saber and the others did, and then take their place.”

"So I can't stay here for long,"

Black Tower: "Lin Yi has already secured a guaranteed minimum return?"

Ruan Mei: "The difficulty lies in truly breaking down the barriers and opening up connecting spatial channels."

"—to carry out material exchange, energy flow, and information interaction."

"——What's so difficult about simply simulating, tracking, and imitating? With the markers, we witnessed another complete Lancer regression, and we expect to record two more in the future."

"What's so difficult about following the path the heroic spirits took?"

Ruan Mei: "These are Lin Yi's original words."

Black Tower: "6..."

"Never mind, having a safety net is a good thing."

Ruan Mei: "In conclusion, with Archer's light cone interpretation also underway, it's always better to have multiple comparisons and mutual verifications than a single sample."

"I cannot linger here. As the first contact, after recounting my analysis of the 'Akasha Records,' I must return to my research on the Heroic Spirits."

Black Tower: "There are plenty of people here, nothing bad will happen. But for you, Ruan Mei... perhaps Stephen could temporarily leave his research here and go help you?"

Ruan Mei: "Not for the time being. As expected, Yu Qingtu and I should be able to finish up in three days."

"Even if we include the mark we made with Lin Yi, it's enough."

Black Tower: "That's good~"

Lin Yi: "Destiny lies within the cone of light."

"When the fates of two worlds intersect, the cones of light will meet, creating a 'point,' and the Holy Grail War, or rather, the Heroic Spirits from another world, are that 'point' where the other world meets ours."

"So by observing the 'point', we can observe the fate of another world, namely the light cone. Fortunately, Ruan Mei is capable enough to have developed the light cone so quickly."

"Otherwise, the progress might have to stay stuck for a while longer."

This light cone is not the same as that light cone.

The essence of the light cone in "Flowing Light Memory Garden" is memory substance, which is the combination of the soul, past memories, and the Akasha records native to this universe.

Possessing the power of memory can bring incredible power to the individual wearer.

What Ruan Mei deciphered was information from another world entirely.

This kind of interaction is necessary for finding your way.

Abis: "If we still can't come up with a solution by the end, I have a wicked idea."

Lin Yi: "Tell me about it?"

Abyss: "Do you think we could throw Saber and the others into the Void and rinse them in, so they can be marinated?"

"When Saber and the others return, pour the Void Medium along the path at the top of the hour."

"With the corrosive and spreading nature of nothingness... could it carve out a path?"

"Can't space also be eroded and assimilated by nothingness?"

Lin Yi was speechless: "Theoretically feasible... but a genius shouldn't be too much like a primitive doctor. Given other options, there's no need to do something so unethical unless absolutely necessary."

What kind of extraterrestrial demon fighting style is this?

They'll definitely be mistaken for extraterrestrial demons invading from beyond the realm, right?!

Absolutely!

Abyss: "Isn't this just the same inspiration you had based on those so-called 'heretical fighting methods' in your head?"

Lin Yi: "I was just thinking..."

Abyss: "Of course, and it's fortunate that you have a moral bottom line, otherwise you would have to sit at the same table as the original doctor."

A day later, Ruan Mei extracted a new light cone from Archer and sent it to Lin Yi and the Black Tower for comparison.

This time, there are more sources of abnormal disturbances, and these disturbances even seem to be competing with each other.

After so many days, it must have been noticed by some being.

It's hard to say how much the people behind these disturbances know, or what their attitude is towards it.

However, none of them came forward or approached the authorities directly; instead, they each interfered with the experiment according to their own will.

However, most of them are from Ruan Mei's side, and there are relatively few from Lin Yi's side and Hei Ta's side.

On that day, Lin Yi's "Phase Walker" and Chadwick together set up a high-energy imaginary swirl flow around the entire Asdna.

This is essentially an imaginary number collapse pulse, caused by the distortion and closure of space.

The curtain formed by the imaginary swirling flow enveloped Asdna, creating an even more extreme isolation zone than the imaginary isolation zone.

Then those sources of disturbance were cleared down to only three.

Because it's estimated that we won't be able to get past this hurdle anytime soon.

Those three unobstructed sources of disturbance are most likely Star Gods.

Star Chaser dons a mask that seems to be both crying and laughing, wielding the "Phase Walker," standing proudly beneath the turbulent currents of imaginary numbers, awaiting those who might appear to disrupt him through physical means.

The last four days, the most crucial four days, must not be disturbed under any circumstances.

Another day later, Ruan Mei completed her full understanding of the Heroic Spirit ahead of schedule. She now had a complete understanding of this unique life form.

They constructed a small, temporary "Hall of Valhalla," and then killed an unlucky soul who met the criteria to test the waters.

This unfortunate fellow is not entirely innocent; he's an interstellar arms dealer who instigates war.

Armed with a list of dangerous weapons smuggled and sold through illicit channels by "Shenxiao Space City" from who-knows-where, they were trying to snag some hot-selling items.

However, after deciphering the coded messages on this list, it is suspected to involve the sale of doomsday beasts, and the mastermind behind it is Starchaser.

The arms dealer immediately exclaimed: "It's getting dark!!!"

I was originally thinking about how to deal with this person. As one of the world's most well-known arms dealers, he happens to have some fame and meets the criteria for becoming a heroic spirit, so he can be used for Ruan Mei's experiments.

To paraphrase a quote from Yuanjiu Forest: Isn't it a rare honor to dedicate oneself to scientific endeavors as experimental material for geniuses?

Chapter 403 "Simulated Universe - Another World (Type-Moon) 1.0"

The experiment was a success; the arms dealer was successfully transformed into a "Heroic Spirit-like being," possessing traits equivalent to, but not entirely the same as, Heroic Spirits.

It incorporates Ruan Mei's understanding of Yiting and Yizhe.

They are heroic spirits with a distinctive "memory" feature.

The spirit was not wasted; Ruan Mei was given to Lin Yi as a scout.

Finally, just as he was about to escape this universe as a heroic spirit, he was shattered by the barrier of imaginary numbers.

This helped Lin Yi eliminate a wrong solution.

Lin Yi found it quite useful and had Ruan Mei convert more "Heroic Spirits".

Just then, Ruan Mei's project was completed.

On the penultimate day, Lin Yi suspended his research. Time was of the essence, and even Lin Yi had lost confidence that he could truly break down the barriers between the two worlds and achieve communication.

I was also thinking to myself, if only Akivili, the "God of Pioneers," were still here.

He would never ignore such pioneering efforts.

If we had the help of a star god, things would be much easier, right?
