Chapter 18: The Search for the Truth (Part II)

"November 6th. There are no significant developments in the experiment, but I would like to add that there are some things that may have had an impact on this experiment, at least for now, when there are some problems in our experiment, and we can't find the most critical variables. ”

"Attempts were made to use a time machine capable of sending the stream of memories back to fourteen days ago, and the effect was obvious, and it worked. As such, these experiments were actually recorded over a non-existent fourteen-day period...... Because something was verified, it was finally determined that it could not affect the change of the world, and the concept of 'inherent time' was proposed and named here. The world line is originally a line that extends forward, is infinitely long, and will be merged with other lines at some point, but this is not the case with inherent time, and the definition of inherent time is proposed here: inherent time refers to the time taken by the world line to flow, and the unit of inherent time refers to the time it takes for the world line to spread forward by one unit of time, which can be regarded as 'time of time', and the unit is seconds. Note on November 27: In order to distinguish it from the relative time, the intrinsic time event was renamed absolute time and recorded. ”

“…… Absolute time......"

Rentaro Okabe discovered the concept of absolute time with the help of a human body, while Zhou Yuan only established the existence of "absolute time" after talking to Alayya, and officially established the existence of absolute time.

It's hard to figure this out, because humans are creatures living in three-dimensional space. Absolute time is as difficult for humans to imagine as a four-dimensional space, or a color that has never been seen before.

Therefore, I have to admit the talent of Rentaro Okabe.

"December 4th. After the interference results were ruled out, the remaining life of this world was officially determined to be between three years and two months and three years and eight months...... We must take action. Recruitment for the Philosopher's Stone has begun...... But no one is willing to give their lives, even if they are bitten to death by zombies and become one of them - in fact, such people can't make a philosopher's stone with positive emotions. (Additional note on the edge of the test report: Mayuri Shiina and Bucket offered to sacrifice, but I refused.) At least until we find a way to save the world, we can't die...... We are already the last hope of this world. )”

"Here we are."

Luo's voice interrupted Zhou Yuan's thoughts. A stone-made basement gate stands right there, with the fate of the Japanese written on it......

Very good and powerful, very direct, simple and brutal.

Zhou Yuan raised his hand and knocked on the door made of stone on the ground...... Or is it the Zhenmen Stone? This thing is completely gravity-pressed here for the door.

Zhou Yuan raised his hand, grabbed the stone hard, and then put it aside.

Below was a small room, very clean, looking like a ransacked hideout, with basically nothing in it.

"That's it?"

Luo looked at the miserable situation inside, and then asked with suspicion.

"Although it's only possible...... But the odds are quite high. ”

Zhou Yuan jumped down as he said - according to Rentaro Okabe's thoughts, there should be a mechanism or something that can be used in this place...... But it's not okay to use the mechanism.,If you use the mechanism normally.,In case you recognize yourself as Zhou Yuan, it's a big deal.。

So how do you get in?

Zhou Yuan stood in the middle of the dilapidated room floor, roughly estimated the strength - the resistance of the hollow wall behind it was certainly not as high as the resistance of the solid floor - and then stomped his foot against the ground.

Then, a wall vibrated violently...... Then he was dragged hard by Zhou Yuan, and the wall fell directly towards Zhou Yuan.

You can't push it that way, because if you push it that way, you might hit someone or something......

"Who is it?"

A somewhat mechanical, feminine voice appeared in the room.

"Shiina Mayuri ......" Zhou Yuan frowned, because Zhou Yuan hadn't seen anyone else here; However, the experimental materials here are very complete, but it can indeed be determined that this is Rentaro Okabe's laboratory, yes, "Where is Okagane and Zhou Yuan?" ”

"I won't tell you! It's a big deal I'll just delete the memory! ”

Zhou Yuan: "......"

Do you look like some bad guy like that?

Then Zhou Yuan looked at the whole alloy wall in his hand that had been dragged down.

Well, it's kind of like ......

But if you say that, it means that Zhou Yuan and Rentaro Okabe are indeed not here...... Zhou Yuan looked around, but there was no monitoring.

"Luo, there's Yato, please avoid it...... By the way, keep here, if someone comes, let him come back later. ”

Zhou Yuan admonished. After waiting for everyone else to leave, Zhou Yuan raised his hand and took off the mask on his face.

“…… You are......! ”

Shiina Mayuri's eyes widened in disbelief - Zhou Yuan used his right hand when he took off the mask, so the ghost hand on his right hand was also exposed.

"I'm so sorry...... Because the world line has changed, the connection with you has been broken, and Gunlen is working on this problem...... I didn't expect you to find it yourself. ”

"Mareari...... In the future, will you be like this......

Zhou Yuan sighed. Three-quarters of Shiina Mayuri's body has become a machine - including the throat, and some parts of the face, although Rentaro Okabe has used various means to make Shiina Mayuri's body as similar to a human as possible, but there are still some things that can be seen that there are differences.

"It's okay...... I'm used to it. This world is like this, and I am still alive, which is something to celebrate......"

Shiina Mayuri said embarrassedly.

"So...... Let's just be a wandering samurai passing by...... You should be aware of the limitations, and if I am known by another person, it may have bad consequences. ”

“…… Got it. ”

Zhou Yuan pulled out his right hand, put on a mask, and then redressed as a one-armed warrior, and then found a seat and sat down; Immediately after that, everyone else also found a place here.

Thankfully, the lab is big enough...... So I can accommodate these people for a while.

"I'm going to see you next...... Future, Gunlon. ”
