Chapter 336: Time and Space Jump
At night, the huge white metal "egg" stands on the platform through four sturdy steel skeletons, and the open hatch seems to convey an irresistible temptation to the outside, strongly attracting the people present to enter the cabin to have a glimpse.
Just as Su Yuan and the others were about to find a ladder to climb on, an automatic gangway stretched out from the hatch.
"Wow, there's a ladder for climbing!" Gao Jun shouted.
"Don't talk nonsense, let's go in and take a look!" Su Yuan ignored Gao Jun, who was in a state of obsession, and was the first to climb up the gangway.
The space inside the metal "egg" is not as big as it looks from the outside, and as soon as he enters the inside, Su Yuan finds that the space inside is very narrow, only about two by two by two, that is, seven or eight cubic meters. In the center is the eye-catching driver's seat, with a certain amount of space at the back, and in front of it is the operating console, in addition to an LED display, there are a row of indicator lights, and more than 20 buttons without logos.
On the left side of the driver's seat, there is an enlarged version of the "thermometer" with a full scale of 100, and the green "mercury" filled inside is showing a scale of 36. To the right of the driver's seat is a cylindrical container, from which many thin metal tubes extend and sink into the cabin in different directions.
Su Yuan looked at the internal structure of the time machine with some disappointment, thinking that it would be very sci-fi, but what was actually presented in front of him was a combination of hard machinery like an old big truck, except for the passable driver's seat, it was not at all as high-end as it was on the outside!
The total volume of the whole machine is about forty cubic meters. Among them, the cockpit occupies seven or eight cubic meters, and the remaining forty or so cubic meters are buried with the key to the time machine. Objectively speaking, such a little space is already very efficient and integrated for the time machine.
At this time, Ye Hao, Gao Jun, and Xia Linfang also climbed in, and the narrow cockpit immediately became a little crowded.
"Why don't these buttons even have a logo!" Gao Jun looked at the console with some disappointment. Su Yuan looked over, pointed to one of the green buttons and said, "It's not that there are no logos, look at this, isn't there also a 'Qi' word engraved?"
Everyone looked over, and sure enough, they found that this button was a little different, and the other buttons did not have any explanation, except for this one, which carved a crooked "Qi" word on the side.
Kai should mean to start. In other words, this should be the button for the time machine to start jumping!
It seems that the driver of the time machine was afraid that he would forget it, so he specially attached it.
ββββββββββββββββ
No one dared to touch the other unmarked buttons, and the "Kai" button could not be moved casually, and everyone was divided into two groups to enter the cockpit in turn to visit, and then Su Yuan and others drew a simple layout map. Then everyone retreated from the time machine.
"This thing has a complicated layout......"
In the living room of Su Yuan's house, Gao Jun stared at the layout map in his hand for a while, and said with a frown.
"Don't you understand?" asked Su Yuan softly.
Gao Jun nodded, "Yes, it's too complicated to understand at all." β
"I can see something. It was Tang Yuelin, who was silent, who spoke. At this time, she was holding the child, and when she saw everyone looking at her, her little face couldn't help but be a little nervous.
Ji Ye Hao was surprised: "What do you see?"
Tang Yuelin pursed her lips and said, "Look at the buttons arranged at the bottom of the screen. There are a total of 12 green buttons, and I think there should be a nine-square grid in it. It represents nine numbers from 'one to nine', and the remaining three buttons. The middle one is marked with the word 'Qi', which represents start-up. The other two are definitely one for 'setting' and the other for 'zero'!"
Su Yuan and the others nodded, Tang Yuelin's statement is not unreasonable, although the difficulty is whether the nine-square grid is on the left or the right, but it can be seen from the right side of the word "Qi" that the nine-square grid is on the left, and the columns on the right are "zero", "start", and "setting".
In addition, there are several ways to arrange the numbers of the nine-square grid, of course, as long as it is not activated, you can slowly try it out through the settings. The real problem is that Nima Suyuan and they didn't find the switch to turn on the power of the entire time machine.
As we all know, the power switch of a high-power machine can never be a digital button, the problem is that I searched the entire cockpit, and I didn't find an obvious cut-off switch like a knife.
There is no power supply, and this alone makes all the previous speculations go to waste! What Gao Jun said is too complicated and incomprehensible means that he can't understand the overall control system of the time machine, and he still plays a ball without a power switch?
"Actually, there is another point that can be understood, which is the scale display on the left side of the driver's seat. Charlene pointed to what looked like a "thermometer" on the layout.
"100 represents the full scale, which should be the total energy of the time machine, and the 36 displayed now should represent the remaining energy, and this energy scale is connected to the column container on the right through the connector, then the column container is likely to contain energy. β
"So, the energy of the time machine is a green liquid substance?" Ji Ye Hao asked in surprise.
"Quite possibly!"
"It would be nice to have a manual for use......" Putting the layout on the coffee table, Gao Jun leaned back on the sofa.
Su Yuan couldn't help but laugh at his whimsy when he heard him, "You think the time machine is a product launched in the factory, and it also uses instructions!"
Just from the unmarked buttons, it can be seen that the owner of the time machine is a very cautious person, and his starting point may be to prevent people other than himself from driving the time machine, and even if he doesn't say it, no one can find out that this is a time machine at all!
It is good to be cautious, but it is so cautious that even the power switch is hidden, which makes Su Yuan a little speechless.
"It's not early, why don't you rest first and continue your research tomorrow during the day?"
Su Caiwei looked at the wall clock on the wall, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening, and interrupted everyone's discussion with a smile. Seeing that the hostess spoke. Everyone nodded and prepared to go back to their rooms. But when he returned to the room, Su Yuan couldn't sleep. She lay on the bed tossing and turning, not knowing that Lu Dao was missing a familiar breath around her, and she fell asleep. Or is it because tomorrow is the time when the end comes, in short, she can't sleep, so she secretly ran into Su Caiwei's room in the middle of the night with a pillow and got into her bed.
The next day, the weather was fine, the gate of the Su family was tightly closed, and behind a curtain that had just been raised, the time machine stood majestically in what should have been a flower bed.
It was noon, and Xia Linfang was helping Su Caiwei prepare lunch. Gao Jun and Ji Yehao worked together to build a curtain for shading. Tang Yuelin had just brewed a bottle of milk powder and was sitting under the shade of a tree feeding her child.
Su Yuan had just woken up, yawned and walked out of the room, said hello to the busy people, and climbed the gangway into the time machine. Curious, she sat in the driver's seat, buckled up her seatbelt, and the thought came to her mind: if there was an extra steering wheel, it would taste like driving a car.
But instead of a car, she drove a time machine. It's face-saving to say it.
The novelty lasted only a few minutes, and then the boredom ensued, and there was really nothing interesting in the cockpit of the time machine. Su Yuan held his chin and pillowed on the console, feeling his stomach growling. She wanted to go down and get something to eat, but suddenly she lowered her head and was surprised to find that there was a small groove on the right-hand armrest of the driver's seat that could be pushed.
Lift the leather cushion on the inside. In the cracks, you can see the words "solid energy".
Isn't his own jade also a piece of solid-state energy? Su Yuan thought for a moment. The ghost sent his jade into it. But the next moment, she regretted a little, was her action too rash? I only felt a slight shock, and the whole time machine actually trembled.
Su Yuan was so frightened by this shock that his whole heart was cold, and his first reaction was to get into trouble, but in the next second, the shock suddenly disappeared, and then with a bang, the indicator light in the cockpit lit up. Through the LED screen on the console, she even saw Ji Ye Hao and Gao Jun and others who were busy below.
"Wow, I've found a way to start the time machine!!"
Su Yuan's spirits perked up, the previous fear had long since disappeared after seeing the picture on the LED screen, and now she just wanted to tell Ji Ye Hao and them the good news. With great joy, she unbuckled her seat belt and walked towards the hatch.
At this time, it was ten fifty o'clock in the morning, when Su Yuan had just walked to the hatch and was about to climb down the gangway, he only heard a muffled thunder in the sky, and the next second, the earth shook violently, Su Yuan couldn't react, and he stumbled and sat on the metal ground, and his little buttocks fell as if they were cracked.
"Roar!!" like a lion roaring, a low, continuous voice from far and near.
A faint purple crack quickly tore open the blue sky, like a giant sleeping dragon in mid-air, and at the same time, Tang Yuelin's scream sounded not far away, Su Yuan was startled when he saw it, only to see that the ground in the distance was collapsing, and after a while, the crack extended to the courtyard of Su Yuan's house.
Ji Ye Hao and Gao Jun, who were on the tower shelf, didn't have time to react and fell directly into the crack in the ground, falling into a dark purple color in the depths.
Su Yuan was stunned for a moment, looking at Tang Yuelin, who was pale with fright not far away, and was holding the child and constantly retreating, as well as Su Caiwei and Xia Linfang, who quickly ran out of the house after hearing the movement...... Her brain was in a state of chaos.
"Didn't you say that there won't be a catastrophe in Haizhou?"
But in front of me......
Ji Ye Hao's home has been completely engulfed by cracks, and half of the Longmen community has collapsed, isn't all this the scene of the end that he has experienced several times?
γBacktrackγ!!
Su Yuan subconsciously wanted to launch, but as soon as she remembered Ji Ye Hao's "warning", she hesitated, and at this moment, she saw Su Caiwei, Xia Linfeng and Tang Yuelin, who was holding the child in her arms, fell into the cracks in the ground.
Immediately after that, the whole time machine shook, and it was also crumbling.
The constancy of the world world brings together countless accidents, and when the accident becomes inevitable, the order behind it begins to collapse, and the world world falls into an inevitable dead loop. This beautiful and cruel world has fallen into a dead end!
Su Yuan's pale and solemn expression looked up at the already shattered sky, and he couldn't use [Backtrack]!!
According to Ji Ye Hao, the positive effect of her use of [backtracking] is not as good as the negative effect, and the result of [backtracking] is that the value of the world and the world is more towards zero, and the world is even more towards collapse.
The only way to change all of this now is a time machine!!
The lesser of two evils, she understands this truth, when she has already made a decision in her heart, Su Yuan looked at the collapsed sky and the ground full of holes again, and his expression became resolute!
I saw her stand up, pull the gangway into the cabin with great difficulty, and then force the hatch shut, locking it from the inside.
Then he sat in the driver's seat, buckled his seat belt, looked at the unmarked buttons, and was about to guess the time of the jump, when suddenly the time machine tilted, and he fell into the crack in the ground.
In a hurry, Su Yuan reluctantly pressed the button of "Start Jump"!(To be continued......)
