171. In prison

In the loop of the Super Particle Accelerator, the atmosphere dropped to freezing again.

It was to be expected that as soon as Catherine left, Ding Sheng and Ellington would start to work again.

And this time, it is bound to be a winner.

Considering that there were still a number of physicists on the ground, Catherine didn't dare to linger long, and immediately returned the same way, but before she had walked more than ten meters, a faint roar suddenly came from the distance of the ring road.

Even the ground felt a slight vibration.

The three people in the audience were all shocked.

Earthquake?

"Guan Ju, what's the situation?" Ding Sheng immediately asked.

"You'll find out right away. ”

As Guan Ju's words fell, a silver light broke through the defensive gate blocking the ring and sped away.

Reinforcements have arrived!

"Ding Sheng, prepare to dock. Guan Ju reminded.

With the arrival of Mark II, the portable armor on Ding Sheng's body fell off at the right time and turned into a thumb-sized box and fell into his hand.

With a clattering sound of mechanical transmission, Ding Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief after entering the heavier Mark II generation.

Ellington, on the other end, almost looked stupid when he thought that there was such an operation of changing equipment on the spot, and after reacting, he did not hesitate at all, and immediately used the tunneling technique to disappear in place.

Catherine, who hadn't gone far yet, was already surprised enough to see the Steel Masked Man change his costume, and it was even more incredible to see Ellington's magical technology disappear in place.

"This is..."

"It seems that you in the future have helped him a lot. By now, Ding Sheng has understood where Ellington's quantum tunneling technology came from.

"I—" Catherine was really at a loss for words.

At least for now, this future Noah Ellington is indeed using quantum tunneling technology.

And isn't the pioneer of quantum tunneling technology himself?

Originally, it was just a casual joke, Ding Sheng didn't have the time to think about whether Catherine would think too much, so he drove the power of the battle armor into the air, and used the pulse strong field for the first time in today's battle!

Whew...

Ellington, who had vanished, was forced out again thirty meters away.

It was only less than two seconds before it disappeared again.

Apparently, Ellington upgraded the device's resistance to pulsed strong fields.

Seeing that the war was about to break out, considering that there were still many physicists and staff on the ground who needed to be taken away, Catherine had to speed up her pace and start running, but after running a few steps, she suddenly stopped.

"The Solar System!"

Hearing this shout, Ding Sheng and Ellington stopped twice.

Seeing this, Catherine immediately added, "As far as we know, there must be no extraterrestrial civilization within the solar system, give me two years, and I will definitely be able to control the threshold within the solar system." ”

"Two years?"

At first glance, Ding Sheng said that it was a little difficult to accept.

After all, it has only been more than a year since I returned from Marvel, and the world has changed too much. For this time, Ding Sheng said that it was difficult to accept.

Two years, too long.

Ellington also thinks the same thing, he already knows through various channels that Catherine has perfected the arrow of time, and now that everything is ready, he will be able to go home soon, and this moment is obviously unrealistic to make him wait for another two years.

"A year. ”

Seeing their thoughts, Catherine held up another finger.

"Noah, no matter who wins or loses today, the consequences will be serious, and if this super particle accelerator is destroyed, you won't be able to rebuild it in a year. ”

"And you—" said Catherine, looking up in Ding Sheng's direction again, "Steel Masked Man, you may be buried in this explosion." ”

Yes.

If the Super Particle Accelerator really explodes today, it would be a fantasy to rebuild it in a short period of time, no matter how powerful Ellington is.

And in the same way, without Guan Ju's supercomputing power, it would be difficult for Ding Sheng to survive in the core of such a big bang even if he had Mark II's protective body.

At least from a purely onlooker's point of view, Catherine's words are not unreasonable.

"I don't want to say the time in advance, I have two questions here..."Soon, Ding Sheng summed up the two more serious problems in this "Peaceful Crossing Plan".

Rather than the inexplicable entanglement between Ellington and the Iron Masked Man, he cares more about the fact that as long as Ellington is safely sent away, he can exchange for Pym space.

Once this deal is made, it is guaranteed to be profitable.

If you can't do it, it's never too late to fight.

"First question, Dr. Oxton, do you mean the orbits of the planets, or the Ultranebula, or the gravitational range?"

Rather than struggling with two years or a year, or even shorter, Ding Sheng's question is even more critical.

As we all know, the solar system is a star system centered on the sun and including nine planets, so how big is it?

Obviously, the size of the solar system is directly related to the difficulty of controlling this threshold.

In terms of planetary trajectories, the boundary of the solar system is beyond Pluto, but Ding Sheng knows that because of Pluto's small size and orbital resonance with Neptune, many scientists do not agree that it is a planet.

So for the foreseeable future, Pluto will most likely be delisted.

But regardless of the outcome, if the planetary trajectory is used as the edge of the solar system, then the radius of the solar system is only about 5 billion kilometers, or about 0.0005 light years.

Obviously, this distance is too short.

Whether it is the Ultrastar cloud computing method or the gravitational calculation method, the diameter of the solar system should be about 2 light years, and there is no need to say much about the gap in between.

"Gravitational range, of course. Catherine replied.

"Well, it's up to you, but the energy threshold isn't just about the spread, and that's my second question, and I think that's up to Mr. Ellington himself. ”

As the words fell, Ding Sheng and Catherine looked at Ellington in the distance at the same time.

This is indeed a question that only he can answer.

"That's right, the energy threshold is not only related to the diffusion distance, but also related to the range of time and space, you want to ask me from which year in the future, right?"

Ellington is not a quantum outsider, and when it comes to this, of course he understands.

"Noah, you know me in the future, don't you?" asked Catherine as she stepped forward, her heart rising to her throat.

With 2 light-years as the boundary, as long as Noah comes from no more than 100 years into the future, then Catherine is confident that the threshold will be compressed into a safe value within a certain period of time.

But once that time is exceeded...

Then there is no way to return to heaven.

For a moment, the ring road fell silent again.

Half a minute later, Ellington smiled indifferently, "Catherine, actually, I've always wanted to say, it's nice to meet you." ”

This sentence basically declares that the timeline from which Ellington comes is exceeded.

Catherine no longer hesitated, and without looking back, she began to run to the elevator underground.

Running all the way to the elevator door, Abu was waiting there to start the elevator and speed to the ground.

"Everyone leave the Sky Mansion at once, this is not a drill, repeat, this is not a drill!"

After several rounds of broadcasting on the building's radio, Catherine, with Abu's help, turned on all the sirens inside the building, and the entire building finally entered the emergency evacuation procedure.

Sends Catherine into the elevator, but Abu doesn't follow her.

"Mr. Ayton, aren't you leaving?"

“2457。 Abu shook his head and said only four numbers.

"What do you mean?" Catherine hurriedly asked, seeing that the elevator doors were about to close.

"Sir is from the year 2457. ”

——

Bang~!

Ten minutes, counting from the time Catherine left, not a single point, a little less, suddenly resounded in the ring of the super particle accelerator with a huge roaring wave, which was bigger and more durable than the previous sound of Mark II breaking the door.

"This is going to detonate?"

Ding Sheng was a little shocked, Ellington was too upright.

"No, no, no, the truth is even more severe, he activated the Super Particle Accelerator!" Guan Ju immediately issued a warning.

“... The accelerator is accumulating, the beam guidance focusing system is ready, the storage ring is ready, the microwave resonance chamber is working, and the high-energy particles have entered the vacuum acceleration chamber... Ding Sheng, he never thought of detonating this place from the beginning!"

"Ellington, until the arrow of time is fully ready, it is impossible for you to return to your original time and space, what do you want to do?" I have to admit that Ding Sheng has been frightened by this formation.

In the current situation, activating the super-particle accelerator and causing high-energy particles to collide is far more serious than destroying the super-particle accelerator.

"Iron Masked Man, I honestly didn't expect you to come today, but since you're here, enjoy the experiment I prepared for you. ”

Ellington finished speaking, and his body disappeared again.

"Guan Ju, check the energy data of the synchrotron. ”

"With more than 10 billion electron volts, this collision of high-energy particles will most likely tear through space... An emergency escape route is being planned. ”

"Can't go, once the space is torn, the quantum energy will leak out, we have to do something before the particles collide... Will the Warframe weapon system be enough to destroy this machine?"

"No, you can't. ”

"Stop it?"

"Ellington's optimized startup program is the technology of the future, it will be too late if you don't find it at the beginning, forcibly blocking it will only make the accelerator get out of control, a higher intensity quantum explosion will endanger the whole of Bristol, and there will be a 0.000010345% probability of generating an artificial black hole..."

"After the route is planned, it is recommended to leave immediately. ”

"Let's go. ”

At this point, Ding Sheng can only follow Guan Ju's plan, and the rest of the matter can only hope that the quantum energy generated by this particle collision is within the threshold.

Pouring a large amount of Ark energy into the power system, the steel armor immediately rushed to the exit planned by Guan Ju.

"Guan Ju, the speed is not right..."

Ding Sheng, who had a first-person perspective, instantly discovered that the speed of the battle armor was too slow, and the probability of a bug inside the Mark II was definitely infinitely close to zero, unless it was affected by external forces.

An ominous premonition came over me.

...

Strong electric magnetic field!
