Ye Zhou opened his eyes and found himself in a vast golden rice field, holding a sickle in his hand.

Looking around, this golden color filled almost every corner of Ye Zhou's sight, and at the end of the golden color, there was a huge mountain structure cast from steel and filled with industrial beauty.

From the appearance of that structure, it should be an enlarged version of the nuclear fusion device, but its size is much larger than any device Ye Zhou has seen in reality.

Even though it was several kilometers away, Ye Zhou could feel the sense of oppression conveyed by the device.

Is this... a planetary engine?

What is the plot?

Farmland, rice, primitive working methods, and the technological fusion device in the distance are both unreasonable, but they also give people a harmonious beauty that perfectly integrates ecology and technology, with great visual impact.

The only problem was that he could not understand what reasons these elements were combined in this area.

Ye Zhou lowered his head and checked his body, and found that the clothes and fabric he was wearing were a bit strange, and it seemed that it did not belong to any of the materials he knew.

It is very light and thin, but it covers its whole body and has a good warmth effect. Even though the exposed skin on the face has felt a little cool, the place wrapped in the clothes is still extremely warm.

----etc.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhou suddenly discovered a trace of disharmony.

Will the rice harvest season feel cold?

According to his understanding, even the last rice sown is harvested from around September to October, and at this time it is often the season of the "Autumn Tiger" mentioned by the older generation. It is absolutely impossible to feel the chill in such a fierce sunshine.

What's the situation?

Ye Zhou shook his head, and the information flow was slowly coming in. He stood up and looked around, and found that not far away from him, there were many farmers working in the fields like him.

Ye Zhou walked towards the farmer working on the side with a sickle in confusion. He was about to speak when he just ran into the other party and straightened his waist to rest.

Seeing Ye Zhou coming, the other party breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked:

"Mr. Ye, are you tired? Go and have a rest. You are in poor health recently and should do less high-intensity labor."

Ye Zhou opened his mouth, and the other party's information had already appeared in his mind. However, after receiving this message, his doubts not only did not resolve it, but instead became deeper.

The other party’s name is Lin Wen. Like him, he is an employee called the “National Energy Tuning Device Research Institute” not far away. Logically speaking, this is an extremely high-end position, and it can even be said to be at the top of the scientific research food chain. But why do scientific researchers like them work in the fields?

Ye Zhou nodded blankly and replied:

"I'm a little tired... I'll go to the side to take a rest."

Hearing Ye Zhou's words, Lin Wen frowned and thought for a moment, and said:

"Forget it, I'll take you back with you. I'll go and see your stove. Didn't you say it wasn't working last time? Change your battery."

Ye Zhou nodded again, and then he followed Lin Wen out of the rice fields and came to the field road that was exactly the same as the country road he remembered.

A retro-shaped three-wheeled motorcycle parked on the side of the not-so-wide road, which once again made Ye Zhou feel a strong sense of incongruity.

Especially after Lin Wen started the motorcycle and rolling black smoke came out from the exhaust from the rear of the motorcycle, he grew up in shock.

"You...your motorcycle, do you boil water and wash coal?"

When Lin Wen heard Ye Zhou's words, he burst into laughter.

"Hahahahaha... Master Ye, you are particularly humorous today. There is no way. The tram is too expensive now. After the tuning device is ignited, I will change myself to another tram."

"Trams are too expensive? What does it mean?"

Lin Wen was stunned for a moment, looked at Ye Zhou with some confusion and asked:

"Mr. Ye, what's wrong with you today? Why do you feel that your thinking is a little bit unfollowing... You can't enter the functional decline curve, right? No, didn't your physical examination last month have a good result?"

Ye Zhou shook his head, stepped on Lin Wen's three-bouncer and sat down, and then signaled him to drive directly.

“Performance Decrease Curve…”

While silently retelling the word in his heart, he listened to Lin Wen's silence of complaints.

"Hey, Master Ye, if there is really a problem, you have to report to your superiors as soon as possible. We have two of them this month."

"I live this life... Fortunately, the tuning device is about to be launched. I don't know how much the tuning device of this scale will have on the Syrad enrichment effect."

"If the effect is not good, we probably have to build a larger tuning device--but at least, near Tuning No. 1, the abnormal entropy increase situation is not so obvious. I heard that in the north, the energy dissipation has reached more than 30%..."

Lin Wen's words reached Ye Zhou's ears one by one. As those keywords entered his mind one by one, the influx of information suddenly accelerated. After a brief headache, Ye Zhou's face showed a horror expression.

He knew why the world had such a distorted and contradictory appearance.

Why are internal combustion engines still being used on a large scale, what is agricultural labor still in this primitive way, why are nuclear fusion devices so large, and... what does the so-called tuning devices mean?

This is a world after the invasion of adjacent dimensions!

In this world, the spatial boundaries between adjacent dimensions and current dimensions have collapsed completely, and energy has begun to flow between the two dimensions. Although material flow is still impossible, the problem is that the exchange of energy alone has caused extremely serious consequences!

There is no mysterious revival, no alien world is coming, but the dilemma people face is definitely no smaller than those of these two situations that only exist in fantasy novels.

At first, people first discovered that the upper temperature limit that certain substances can reach for combustion began to decrease, such as the temperature of a candle dropped from about 800 degrees to around 700 degrees.

Immediately afterwards, the combustion efficiency of all substances begins to decline, and the energy generated by combustion also decreases.

Afterwards, this energy drop spread to other fields, such as kinetic energy, radial energy, and even potential energy. In a short period of time, the gravity of a considerable part of the region has been reduced by more than 5%.

At this time, all scientific researchers began to be alert. As the research deepened, they finally came to a conclusion:

The energy of this world was stolen.

Or to put it another way, the entropy growth rate of this world suddenly increases due to some external force.

This seems to be an almost impossible conclusion, but after introducing the adjacent dimension theory, everything becomes reasonable, because the reason for all this is very simple, that is, the isolated system of the universe, or the entropy-increasing isolation system of the space where the earth is located, was broken.

As early as the 19th century, physicist Maxwell had already imagined an experiment: a box was divided into two by a board, and a valve was guarded by an elf who was caught from Mount Hygar to work as a coolie.

This elf can measure the speed of gas molecules. For the molecules on the right, if the speed is fast, he will open the door and let it pass. If the speed is slow, he will close the door and prevent it from passing. For the molecules on the left, if the speed is slow, he will pass, and if the speed is fast, he will not pass.

After a period of time, the molecules on the left side of the box will be very fast, and on the right side will be very slow, which means that the disorder of the box will be reduced and the entropy will be reduced.

The situation facing this world is the box on the right separated by the elves.

The energy was stolen and brought to the adjacent dimension of the box on the left.

The consequences caused by this are definitely much more terrifying than the interstellar war or monster invasion, because this not only locks down the technological development of human beings, but also directly locks down the origin of human survival!

After that, the material's tolerance and strength began to weaken, the energy dissipation speed of the energy storage system increased, the efficiency of energy conversion decreased, the output of agricultural products dropped rapidly, and even the speed of human aging was greatly accelerated!

Humans have almost seen their own doomsday--this is a process of chronic death. If they are not interfered, then all humans in this space will die from the "energy suffocation" caused by high-speed entropy increase!

There is only one way to solve this problem, that is, kill the elf guarding the adjacent dimensional channel.

But the problem is that with the current technological level of human beings, it is impossible to achieve this, but to further improve technology, energy, or energy, it is the top priority.

This is a paradox.

Ye Zhou deeply felt the oppression from higher civilizations.

They won’t play any confrontation with you at all--will the 21st century army line up with the 18th century army to be shot?

No, they would just throw a missile on the other party's head, and the soldiers who gathered together would not even know where the attack came from until they died!

And now, this is the situation that humans face.

They don't even pursue destruction, he is just moving forward.

And in such a progress, humanity is only part of the price.

Therefore, if you want to resist, there is only one choice left before humans:

Create more energy in a limited area, allowing these energy to be enriched at key nodes, thereby temporarily slowing down the entropy growth rate in other areas and giving humans more time.

This is a very simple logic. When you are in a house with air leakage everywhere, if you cannot block the damaged windows, you can only overdraw all resources and raise a stronger fire!

The national energy tuning device is the fire.
