When He Qianqian wandered back to the door, the setting sun was still hanging in the sky.
Although it feels good to walk under the sunset, but...
"Girl, it's almost dark, isn't it?"
With a dumbfounded expression, I said to the girl next to me who still looked like she had nothing to do with me. Although I thought it was nothing at first, after such a long time, no matter how dull you are, you should feel that something is wrong, right?
"Oh, Arjun's reaction was indeed very slow. I only discovered it now."
He shook his head slightly and sighed, then raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.
"Originally I just wanted to stay with Arjun for a while."
As she finished speaking, it was like a fast-moving camera. The clouds in the sky, which had been stationary for an unknown length of time, were moving rapidly. The red sunset dimmed rapidly, the sun set in an instant, and night fell in the blink of an eye.
Just to hang out outside for a while will interfere with the flow of time. Qianqian, I really belong to you.
"Humph," after being released from the power state, Qianqian immediately returned to her original lively and agile personality, curled her nose and said proudly, "When I was a child, I often thought that if time after school stopped forever, I could play with Jun.
I'm so happy! Now this wish has come true - wow, Arjun, what's your expression like that?"
"It's okay," I pulled the corners of my mouth and waved my hands, "My stomach hurts - by the way, you can conceptually break down the timeline now?"
"Arjun is not the only one who has become stronger." Qian Qian said with a smile asking for credit, "Although this can only be done within the scope of one city block, now we can conceptually cut and control the timeline.
For example, by controlling the timelines of "Dusk" and "Breeze" separately, maybe it won't take long to make up history."
That's too cruel. Do you want that idiot Dingdang to be captured and imprisoned as soon as he takes office?
"We're back!"
I shouted a greeting at the door with great enthusiasm, and then appeared in front of me to open the door for us. Onee-sama holding a frying spoon, and a head sticking out from beside her.
"Ah, Mu Mu, I'm here to help you!"
"I'm sorry, I opened it the wrong way." After saying this expressionlessly, I pulled Qianqian back and closed the door.
Opening the door, my sister is still there, and so is the owner of the head, with a sly smile: "Mu Mu, I'm here to help you!"
Hey, I knew I would never be without this troublesome young lady!
I casually slapped Lin Xue on the head as a unique greeting. Qianqian and I entered the living room. Dingdang was still lying on the coffee table in the center playing with his hoop. I'm afraid this stupid guy has completely forgotten what he did in the first place.
Damn it, when she saw Qianqian and I coming in, the little thing immediately rushed over happily, holding two iron rings with a radius almost equivalent to her height in her hands.
"Ajun! Dingdang has learned it! Dingdang has learned it!"
At this time, I thought, if blasphemy is punishable by hell, and if hell is underground, would I have emerged from the other side of the earth now?
The little thing obviously didn't notice the weird expression on my face or the people around me, especially the frightened look on Miss Lin's face. She just danced in front of me, then threw the two iron hoops into the air, and her eyes were blurred.
Seeing a green figure forming a sharp fold line in the air like lightning, Dingdang successfully passed through two iron hoops at an angle to each other.
"Dingdang can rely on this to perform her talents at the next Star Gods Sports Conference! Maybe Dingdang can become the first goddess of life to win a medal at a sports meeting in history!"
"Little Ancestor, please don't!" I broke out in a cold sweat, and couldn't help but grab the confused Dingdang with both hands, "Just treat this as a personal interest, and don't perform it in front of the gods.
understand?"
Because I will definitely be fucked to death by the Nine Heavens Gods and Buddhas!
"Although I can't understand it, Ajun seems to be very concerned about it," Dingdang tilted his head and looked at me for a while, and then shouted happily, "Then Dingdang will just jump through the hoop for Ajun's performance!"
Miss Lin, who had been watching the interaction between her master and pet for a long time, rolled her eyes: "Hey, @#￥%%￥#￥..."
Hey, what you just said was coded and sent directly.
"Okay, okay, how long are you going to make trouble?" A helpless and doting voice came from behind, and it was heard that the elder sister wearing an apron and a warm and healing smile was pouring a pot of water into the pot.
The steaming soup was brought to the table, "As long as I go out to play with Qianqian, I will definitely wait until dark before coming back. This has not changed since I was a child."
Well, onee-sama's motherly tone has not changed in more than ten years.
"Where's Ruizi?" I asked curiously as I sat down at the dining table but didn't notice the black-haired girl who was always eager to help everyone prepare the dishes.
"We have already returned to Academy City," onee-sama said with a subtle smile on her face, "That girl almost died of panic."
"You're in such a hurry to go back?" I was surprised, "I didn't even say hello."
Well, speaking of it, saying hello doesn't seem necessary. There is a world gate. Going to another world to study or something is equivalent to walking two blocks to school. It's not a big deal, but in such a hurry.
It's not Leizi's style to rush back without even saying hello.
"We forgot about the time difference," onee-sama finally couldn't help but burst into laughter, "There is a slight deviation between the time in Academy City and this world. Even though it is evening now, it is the end of the holiday in Academy City and classes are in session.
It was time for the ceremony on the first day. Leizi was now the chief student of Zhachuan Middle School, so she couldn't be late, right? That girl rushed into the portal in a fighter plane with a piece of bread in her mouth, just like when you were late for school when you were a child.
"
Eh? Do you still need to pay attention to the time difference when traveling to another world?
However, flying a fighter plane to the venue of the opening ceremony, Saeko, are you really not going to cause chaos by doing this? Also, onee-sama, are you sure that when I was late for school when I was a child, I would rush out with a fighter jet?
"In this case, it's evening here, but it's morning over there," Qianqian, who is very sensitive to time, began her own calculations, "In other words, when we go to bed at night, it should be... class time
?”
Me: "Yeah, she really has to go to class and is jet lagged."
Talking about their respective topics, our unprecedentedly huge family started dinner. Although it was a bit noisy, at this time, it really gave people a warm feeling.
Watching Shandora holding a huge rice cooker and devouring food alone, watching Qianqian and a few others grabbing sweets in the dark, watching Paopao stuffing rice quickly in silence while staring at more than twenty small floating windows in front of her.
New show, and now I have another pleasure, which is to watch Sister Jill, who is full of food on the other side of the table, having to feed Little Paopao patiently despite her reluctance.
"I feel like I could eat several bowls of rice just by looking at the lively and joyful scene in front of me." By some strange coincidence, I revealed the strange associations I had at the moment.
"Then you can eat with your girls, I won't be polite," a voice suddenly sounded next to me, interrupting my thoughts. Then, I saw the sweet and sour pork ribs in front of me falling into two places in the blink of an eye.
In Miss Lin's bowl a seat away, "Fortunately, I had the foresight to sell these magical big chopsticks from the uncle selling ramen on the roadside!"
Watching a certain unfettered young lady holding up nearly half a meter long special chopsticks to show off her power to me, I really...have no words to complain about.
"Gulu gulu, gulu gulu."
Dingdang pushed his precious new toy: the hoop, rolling past me, while looking for his favorite food among the huge tableware. Anweina's head floated around on the dining table, and it was out of reach.
The owners of the dishes were picking up vegetables and serving the rice. Prophet Lin had already picked up the last piece of ribs in front of me, and now he was secretly bringing the vegetables in his bowl to me - using the half-meter-long special chopsticks, Pandora looked like a face
Bingshuang quickly finished her meal, while calmly hitting back Viska, who was jumping up and down trying to steal the cake, with a supersonic hand knife with an afterimage. This scene was almost the repertoire of the two sisters when they were eating.
.
I said, although it is very happy, at least you should be normal when eating!!
Talking, laughing, and playing around, this kind of life is our highest pursuit. So, time passes day after day in such a leisurely and joyful daily life, and the third day...
Damn it, it was one day after another, a total of two leisurely days!
Fortunately, this time it's not a big trouble like saving the world, it's just Tavel inviting us to come over and take a look at her research results.
Sometimes I really envy Pao Pao, the guy who can push Ake, push the toilet man, push various princes, push the Lich King, push Agalon, and push all kinds of bosses even during working hours. If I were like that
How good my physique should be. In that case, I can watch new shows, old shows, new shows, and all kinds of shows while Tavel is introducing the formula to me...
Visca Bulwark, this space fortress far from the ground, still adheres to its responsibilities for hundreds of thousands of years. As a satellite, it stares at the changing earth from afar, as unchanging and silent as time itself, but in
Inside this planet fortress, in the huge space is a busy and orderly military city. Various war factories and control core buildings are suspended in the air, forming the skeleton of this three-dimensional city, and the passing spacecraft are intertwined into this
The nerves and blood between the skeletons, this is the B-2 area of the Lunar Battleship, which belongs to the research and development and high-level apostle rest cabins. It has the highest alert level in the entire Lunar Battleship after the core area A, and if you look at it from a full view
If we look at this space from an angle, we will find that a black rectangular building stands out even more among the buildings around it - not only is it located in a completely empty "prime area" that is incompatible with its surroundings, but there are almost no spaceships.
It can even be said that apart from the heavy gunboats and spherical photon turrets suspended around the rectangular building, no floating units dare to approach this building.
The core sections of the empire's home base all have this level of security, and its specialness is obvious.
And what seems even more special is that the edges of this aerial building have been shaking slightly: just like the entire system of projections that have been disturbed, they are slightly deformed and distorted in the air, and even occasionally flicker and disappear for a moment.
This does not mean that this building is really a projection. When experienced veterans see this scene, they will usually pat the recruit Danzi next to him on the shoulder and say: "Boy, look at it, that is an anti-phase unit, always in phase."
An invincible device that can reverse state. I think the fighter plane I piloted relied on this device to successfully annihilate an entire army..."
Then the recruit Danzi would say in horror and admiration: "Wow! Commander xx, Commander xx and Commander xx said the same thing two days ago!"
Of course, how some bored Imperial soldiers spend their time is beyond the scope of our current discussion.
This rectangular black building is the second research center of the empire. Apart from this ordinary code name, it does not have any gorgeous name. It is as unremarkable as its appearance, but the things studied here are very unusual. They
It is extremely dangerous, even to the point where the entire research facility has to be built inside a Glory-class starship. The anti-phase force field that covers the entire building is not to prevent attacks from the outside, but only to prevent internal attacks.
Something ran out.
Here, what is studied is the knowledge of the abyss.
"No matter how many times I come here, I still find this coffin-like shape very tearful. Tavel, can't you give your design a better-looking image?"
We walked with Sandora in the wide and silent central corridor of the Second Research Core. There was only a silent female researcher leading the way. The footsteps of the three of us made a monotonous tapping sound in the corridor. I was bored.
The topic focused on Tavel’s coffin control attributes.
As long as it is related to her, no one can escape the image of a coffin. Even for such a large research institute, she has to build it into a coffin shape. Although it is a sliding lid, but... ahem, a coffin is a coffin!
Tavel was stunned for a moment, then said with disapproval: "But Jenovain's design style seems to be very popular."
Eh? Xiling people also pay attention to this?
Sandora next to her sighed: "That thing stopped being popular more than 1.6 million years ago, okay?"
"But they are indeed very simple and efficient, especially when used in scientific research." Tavel nodded firmly, remaining steadfast in his coffin aesthetics.
"It's a great honor for you to come here in person." The conversation between us was suddenly interrupted by a voice from the front, and a floating holographic road sign was flashing. It turned out to be the navigation system in the institute, "Quarantine Zone No. 3.
It has been turned on. The dwell time is two hours. Please follow the indicator."
"Strictly speaking, that thing should have nothing to do with the Abyss, but it recorded some disturbing things. It is only kept in this place for safety reasons - please follow me."
Under the guidance of Tavel and the beacon, Sandora and I came to a huge isolation door. There was a honeycomb-shaped energy barrier floating on the surface of this trapezoidal isolation door. As we approached, the barrier was gradually
It weakened and completely dissipated the moment we came to the door. Then, the heavy door suddenly became transparent.
Entering the gate, we are presented with a very wide rotunda hall. Just like other research areas, the walls around the hall are covered with various information terminals and floating information boxes. Busy researchers are in the hall.
Walking back and forth, the only difference is that the research object in this hall is just a cube with a side length of only a few meters. In the center of the hall with a radius of a hundred meters, the floating and rotating cube is as inconspicuous as the jingle on the head of a certain head of state.
.
That's the equipment I discovered in Fate World. I gave it to Tavel for appraisal and now I can finally see some attributes.
"This cube is a common device for automatically storing data in unattended buildings." Tavel led us to ten meters in front of the suspended cube. Only here did I see a nearly transparent energy barrier that was isolated like a pipe.
After detecting the suspended object on the opposite side, Tavel motioned to the researchers around him to adjust the locking parameters of the analysis device. Immediately, the originally complete suspended block disintegrated in front of us, revealing its true core: a crystal ball shining with red light.
The disintegrated cube fragments are floating around the crystal ball, slowly rotating.
"Most of its data has been encrypted, and it will take a certain amount of time to crack it, but even the unencrypted part is enough to bring us a lot of intelligence. Based on the data recorded by the cube, I found a lot of information that can improve our existing energy sources.
The key technologies of the furnace, some of which I have been researching before, but more technologies have not even been imagined by me."
"According to your analysis, this thing is some kind of experimental next-generation energy furnace during the empire's heyday, right?"
"That's the theory," Tavel pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, which were more decorative than practical, "but that's only a small part of what I want you to see. More of them are some records that have nothing to do with technology."
"An inconspicuous footnote mentioned a grand plan that was being carried out simultaneously throughout the empire. The plan had no name, only a code name abbreviated as x. Its goal seemed to be to gather the power of 90% of the Xiling apostles to calculate
An unprecedented way of using energy, a technology that far exceeds psionic energy, and even directly collects and uses void energy, and that energy celestial body is an indirect product of this plan. Your Majesty Sandora, there is no such thing in my memory core.
Do you know anything about the relevant records?"
Sandora's brows were frowning tightly at this moment. Although I had no idea what Tavel said meant, from the expression on Sandora's face, I vaguely noticed that I seemed to have brought back an unprecedented...
secret.
"X, it does only have such a code name," Sandora put her index finger against her chin, "At that time, in order to attack the endless void, the last territory that the empire could not control, 90% of the Xiling apostles in the entire empire
They all participated in the relevant calculations, but... I don’t know what the final product of this plan will be."
The problem is that we have a living finished product right in front of us: the Red Moon Core.
