Chapter 62: Infinity End
(In Japan, it's herb; The Japanese are the grass himself; The elite of the Japanese should be ...... Herbal extracts?
You know why. )
Yasuo Ikeda is a sub-researcher in the Historical Exploration Equipment and Solidification Group of the Second Director Department of the Third Tokyo Institute of Urban Physics.
The project he is mainly involved in and responsible for is the "Historical Exploration and Excavation Auxiliary Traceability Detector", which is commonly known as the ...... Time Machine.
Yasuo Ikeda was a good man, but also a simple man. His experience over the past 50 years is simple but extraordinary, and it can be summed up as the rise of a genius who has the talent to master a scientific research group at the forefront of science at the age of 50. But simplicity makes him distracted except for research, without family, without wife, and without enjoyment...... The only thing that can be said to be extravagant is probably his collection of plastic figurines...... It is said that he bought enough airplane cups with various anime motifs to open a museum.
Well, he's just such a man who doesn't like to waste time.
But in fact, no one knows that he has another bloody name on the dark web - "Reiwa Man"!
That's the second second!
Although people said that "Reiwa" was the era of fat houses, "Heisei" was the last hope of all herbs...... That's because they didn't see what it was like after "Reiwa". In short, compared to later, "Reiwa" is actually quite good.
One generation is not as good as the next, and this is the herb now......
Yasuo Ikeda wants to change it!
In the gloomy room, flickering computer screens, Yasuo Ikeda picks up the plastic figure on the computer desk and presses it on his 20th generation Switch, and after entering six sets of passwords in reverse order of the death of the "EVA" character, he enters the dark web world exclusive to herbs.
The first post to the top of the forum was "How to Make Herbs Rise Again...... Yes, Yasuo Ikeda was not only a scientist, he was also a refined historical Zionist.
In 2333, the grass himself was able to get rid of the nationalist pride and examine that period of history more objectively - in fact, it is impossible to let go, and the herb can't let go of the history of World War II even more than the surrounding countries. Because after World War II to the present, herbal medicine can hardly be said to be an independent country. It is like a sheep in a pen, although it does not die, it will always be sheared.
There are more hands and less wool, and it is all tears when you say it......
It was this unwillingness that made a group of keyboard patriots jump out of the debate of "going east, south or west" and put forward a new point of view, "stupid, it should go north"!
Yasuo Ikeda is one of them.
Judging from the First World War, it was not wrong for herbs to look east for coal and iron in World War II, and wasn't Germany, which was much more advanced than herbs, also trying to regain Lorraine, a coal-and-iron producing region? In those days, coal and iron meant heavy industry, but also the rise of the country.
Steel production is directly equivalent to national strength.
...... Who would have thought? Only a few years after World War II, the world has entered the age of oil and silicon! Iron, though still important, is available all over the world; Not to mention coal, which has long since retreated to the position of a second-rate energy source. If the herbs had not gone south or eastward, and had gone all out to the north on the basis of the cold country and the three eastern provinces, and had obtained Western Siberia and Sakhalin Island, it would have been tantamount to obtaining a large amount of oil and non-ferrous metal resources.
It would be great if you intervened sideways when the Soviet Union sold Alaska - how much money did you pay for the ghost animals of the United States, and I paid double the amount of herbs!
After the war, there was money in herbs, and buying it was equivalent to holding the important Alaskan gold source in your hands, and the country's economy had a hammer! What's more, there is also the Bering Strait, who would have thought that as the Arctic Ocean melts, this will become the Gibraltar and Malacca of the future!
Coupled with the self-pressing, intensive cultivation and craftsmanship that the grass itself does not lack, the rise is simply a matter of minutes.
…… All this was originally nothing more than wishful thinking on the Internet.
Everyone knows that today's herbs have no hope, a small country, rising sea levels, and a continental shelf with frequent earthquakes. If these were nothing, then the rigid domestic class, the lost artisan spirit, the exploitative suzerainty, and the new entrants to the ranks of the great Eastern countries...... Rising again is just a dream – like countless countries that have "risen" around the great powers of the East, they are short-lived, and then disappear into history like a bubble.
(Xiongnu, Xianbei, Jurchen, Mongolian, Western Xia...... :Bah! Say yourself, what are you doing poking our hearts at this time. )
It wasn't until Yasuo Ikeda posted on a forum that he said, "If I Could Go Back to World War II, How Would I Change the History of Herbs"?
He thought that he would be done with venting, but it was just an incompetent complaint.
Who knows, but there are "really powerful people" who found him along the dark web. Because those people know that he is in charge of the "Time Machine" project that he is developing, and that he is about to succeed!
In other words, it is really possible for Yasuo Ikeda to travel back in time to World War II and change history!
After that, Yasuo Ikeda secretly gained unimaginable convenience! Not only has his status in the research institute been greatly elevated, but there are even countless people working for him in secret-
Want to make the herbs of the time more rich and powerful? It couldn't be easier! He got the "1930-1940, East Asia and the West Coast of the United States Silk Price Survey Report", as long as he memorized it, with this material can directly increase the national wealth of herbs by 50%!
Want to amass your personal wealth? No problem. Someone helped him design the fastest route to riches, and that was human trafficking! Yes, at that time, in order to support the war effort, there were countless women who volunteered to go abroad to serve as female branch girls and earn foreign exchange for Herb. But they all go to Shanghai or Southeast Asia, how can they make silver dollars and make rice dollars? It's all for sale anyway, so why not sell it to Honolulu and sell it to San Francisco?
I heard that ghost animals are thick and long, one sale, two enjoyments.
There are also changes in the army's red deer, opportunities for the domestic political situation, and so on...... In a word, as long as he can go back to the past, changing history is never a problem!
With the help of countless people, his project is running wild like a wild horse, and it can't stop at all, and it will soon arrive at ...... Terminal.
On April 14th, he unsurprisingly became the "first on-site observer of history", that is, the first experimenter in history who was about to travel through the timeline through a time machine to verify whether time travel really exists! Although the previous experiments with mice and cats and dogs have been "successful", they can be regarded as successful...... The machine didn't blow up, and of course there was no feedback.
However, instead of choosing a macho man who killed mosquitoes with his chest muscles, he chose a scientific researcher who is knowledgeable but only prefers to the time machine manufacturing industry, which really puzzles many people...... Do you expect him to build a time machine over there and come back?
But Yasuo Ikeda was indescribably excited: who can infiltrate the Institute of International Studies with influence? And this is the most important step! Yasuo Ikeda was amazed by the energy of the "powerful man behind the scenes", and he was so impressed that he threw himself into it!
At 12 noon, Yasuo Ikeda walked into the time machine, dressed in clothes appropriate to the era, carrying a time capsule, necessary equipment, and some personal belongings. And in a burst of light, disappeared without a trace.
"Will he change history?"
"He's going to change history!"
……
"The first phase of the experiment is over, thank you for your participation, please evacuate in an orderly manner!" The second director of the department named Director Lu stood up and said loudly to the window.
"Wow-" With the cheers, the air was filled with flying pieces of paper. It was written with the words "Analysis of the Herbal Steel Industry in Four or Three Years", "Was Manufacturing Viable Before World War II", and so on. Now these materials are casually thrown into the sky, and no one looks at them again.
Someone pushed open the entire wall, revealing the three-bedroom, two-living room where Yasuo Ikeda's family lived. A group of people laughed and chatted while working, and from time to time there were words such as "dark web", "airplane cup", and "really enough seen".
Director Lu turned around and continued to order, "Send someone to detect and recover the space-time capsule, evacuate our people as soon as possible, and board the ship or get on the floating platform as soon as possible if you can't evacuate, I have some bad premonitions in my heart." ”
“…… Lao Lu, what era did you send Yasuo Ikeda to? Certainly not 1935. ”
"August 5, 1945, 12 p.m."
"Lao Lu...... I never knew you were such a ruthless person. ”
*****
When Yasuo Ikeda found the newspaper of the day in the dark, he was stunned!
He crossed smoothly, and even his sudden appearance on the streets of World War II did not attract even the slightest attention, and the people here all walked down the street with their heads bowed like walking corpses.
And Yasuo Ikeda didn't appear naked like the Terminator, revealing his fat white belly, which is really good.
Nothing was lost, neither equipment nor personal belongings, and even a pistol...... The machine couldn't have run any better! But why is it now - August 5, 1945?!
Don't think I don't remember, at 8:15 a.m. on August 6, 1945, the US Army Air Force dropped the first atomic bomb called "Little Boy" on the city of Hiroshima!
Yasuo Ikeda asked for the address, and the whole person was about to explode...... This is the center of Hiroshima! WTF!
Why could the time machine go so wrong...... Wait a minute! Yasuo Ikeda suddenly remembered that the manual said that the maximum error of the time machine was 10 years...... But the problem is, he wrote that manual! However, that is just the practice of herbal companies, the key data should be beautiful, and the secondary indicators should be as loose as possible...... WTF!
He looked at the "time capsule" in his hand, and suddenly wanted to get into it and hide.
It can run on its own for 10,000 years, faithfully recording everything that happens in the environment, even if it is in the center of a nuclear explosion...... I was sent to Hiroshima, and that's why it was designed?!
F! F! F!
After spitting in a rage for twenty minutes, Yasuo Ikeda finally came to his senses and fled the scene before the gendarmerie arrived (the herbs of this period did not allow idlers who were not working, and street scolding and parades were also forbidden).
Throwing the "space-time capsule" in front of the axe door, Yasuo Ikeda left the place, and also left the capsule's monitoring range.
You think I can't do anything about it? You think I'm going to sit still? Dream!
He casually threw his so-called personal belongings into the trash, broke the last plastic figure open, and took out a piece of parchment from the inside...... Yes, I still have a pact from the devil! This contract is so magical, no matter who you get this piece of paper, you will directly skip the process of doubt and verification, and directly believe that any wish can be fulfilled by spending money through the contract!
Yasuo Ikeda took out the parchment and put it together with the old two hundred dollars on his body, stood in the middle of the dilapidated street, and raised his hand to the sky.
"I make a wish that the nuclear bomb will never fall on the grass land!"
He didn't ask for wealth or power, and at this moment, Yasuo Ikeda, who had given up his personal honor and disgrace, was radiant!
A spiritual fire emerged from his hand, igniting the contract and the two hundred dollars.
【Contract Conclusion】
Yasuo Ikeda's heart was extremely satisfied, O herb, I saved you!
Although it was already the end of World War II, it was too late to save the war. But it doesn't matter, the Cold War, the Middle East, the tech boom next...... There are many opportunities! There's always one for the herb......
Just when his heart was surging and his thoughts were soaring...... Suddenly, "bang"!
The powerful impact from behind made his eyes blacken, and Yasuo Ikeda nearly suffocated when he was pressed to the ground. "I've got him, this anti-war man! I made a lot of noise in front of the city hall before, and I just tried to set it on fire......"
"Nope! I didn't! When Yasuo Ikeda came to his senses, he was furious! I just saved you, "I was just saving ......" he was stunned, if the nuclear bomb doesn't fall today, then how can I prove that I stopped it?
He was pulled up, and before he could open his eyes, he was slapped in the face!
Yasuo Ikeda struggled to open his swollen red eyes and saw the ignorant old policeman in front of him, "I plead guilty, please put me in a prison in the suburbs." Yasuo Ikeda knew that it was impossible to explain it, and the old guy in front of him was as stubborn as a stone.
"Go to his prison? Do you think you can eat, sleep and not work every day? Herbs are ruined in the hands of you slackers! The old policeman spitted and scolded, "I'll let you know that you know it's amazing!" ”
At two o'clock in the morning, Yasuo Ikeda was sent to a ...... on the outskirts of Hiroshima Bomb Disposal Factory.
Herbs have now lost most of their occupation area, they don't need as many shells, and the next focus is on home defense.
There is no training and no protection. Yasuo Ikeda was only educated for two sentences, and then he was put at the back of a gun and pushed into the bomb disposal team. He was going to go into the open area of two hundred meters and remove the fuses from the shells...... There was a big crater and some fallen shoes in that field, and you can imagine what had happened before.
……
At 8:15 a.m., the weather was clear, and a B-29 bomber of the Mi Army flew over Hiroshima.
The factory was urgently camouflaged as the plane flew over the outskirts of Hiroshima, but a herb worker suddenly ran out of the factory area, shouting as he ran, "Nuclear bomb!" Throw it! Throw it down! up! Blow up those bastards! Fried! Fried ......"
Phew-
A gunshot rang out, and he fell to the ground like a piece of wood.
……
As he lay dying, Ikeda saw the bomber open its magazine and a bomb of unprecedented magnitude dropped from the plane.
Did the contract succeed or didn't?
Just as Yasuo Ikeda was thinking this, suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a bright light streak across the sky......
At 8:16, a sudden meteorite hit the B-29 bomber on mission and the "Little Boy" nuclear bomb that was falling! Unfortunately, the meteorite that fell after that hit the center of Hiroshima straight away, completely erasing the city from the horizon!
On the 7th, the ghost animal of the United States, who was unwilling to fail to drop the bomb, once again sent a bomber with the nuclear bomb "Fat Man" to fly over the herbs, but unfortunately was hit by another falling meteorite and crashed again!
Herbal Kyoto was also destroyed by meteorites.
……
Two meteorite falls shook the island's continental shelf structure, and on April 22, 1959, the continental shelf collapsed, and three-quarters of the herbaceous land was subsided......
*****
16 huge turbine engines lifted the Institute of Physics into the air.
Beneath his feet was an ocean, and the city of Tokyo sank underwater.
The helicopter swarm is busy sending people and test results into the research institute like bees.
"Time Capsule Recovered."
"The monitoring and testing equipment implanted in Yasuo Ikeda's body was found."
"The Japanese government expressed strong protest ......"
……
Countless pieces of information were gathered in the office of the research institute, but the person in charge named Director Lu did not open any data.
He looked out the window at the endless surface of the water and instructed directly to his chief expert, "In this way, you take the current situation in Japan as an example, and write an article with the core of 'changing history will only lead to a worse topology', and submit it to the Science and Technology Yearbook for publication, which can be regarded as a staged summary of the research of our department over the years." ”
When everyone left, Director Lu took out a large stack of internal confidential documents and put the seal of "Project Closure" on them one by one.
Anyone wants to change history, but I don't need it as a flower grower.
Because history has forged our tenacious national character, we see the world ups and downs, spinning and disappearing, and only after every fall of my flower planter...... You can climb higher!
