749 Stalemate
In an instant, the two exchanged five or six moves, because the speed of their bodies was too fast, stirring the air and making a sound like a howling wind.
Lin Youde gave an order to Xia Yongzhi to start emptying the air inside the Enterprise.
"Don't you want to have a good talk with your father?" Char asked.
"Don't be stupid, you must have other ways to communicate with me when there is no air, and it really can't be done by blinking to send Moss code." Lin Youde responded unceremoniously.
"It's ruthless." Although the pressure in the cabin was significantly reduced, Char still did not have the inclination to put on the oxygen mask, but continued to speak, "I never thought that my son would be such a cold guy, he didn't want to talk to his father, and he planned to kill him." β
Lin Youde took two steps back, set up his sword, and responded in a few seconds of regrouping: "I don't want to kill you, I just want to wake you up." What has happened can't be changed, stop dreaming, Dad. β
"If you want me to believe it, you have to come up with evidence, such as that you personally went back in time or something." Char said as he killed Lin Youde again, and the psionic swords of the two collided repeatedly.
"Of course I have, although it's only the spirit that goes back." Lin Youde said.
At this moment, he noticed that Char's movements hesitated for a fraction of a second, relying on this short gap, he inserted the psionic sword into Char's defensive gap, but Char's response was also very fast, Lin Youde's psionic blade only left a wound about a centimeter deep and a few centimeters long on Char's shoulder.
Char's clothes immediately responded, spraying bioglue to seal the wound, while the memory fibers themselves returned to their pre-torn state when they were torn apart by the psionic sword.
Lin Youde asked, "Your scientist told you." That device can only take you mentally back in time, right? β
"That's right. But that's enough, as long as I mentally answer the past. If I replace the ghostly mind, I can avoid tragedy! β
"It's useless, the timeline has been fixed, and even if you go back, you're just going to experience that pain again."
"No, I just do something and history will change. So, even if there was some kind of force that was trying to keep the timeline from changing, it would have been done before I could go back. You, my son, are the embodiment of this power. β
[You just tell him that the machine can't go back, it's over.] Noah said.
[Why didn't you remind me when I just opened my mouth!] Now that I've come to this route, how can I change my mind! Doesn't it give up on the argument that I insist that the timeline is immutable? γ
[yes, yes.] In that case, according to my prediction, you will most likely have to kill your father. γ
Lin Youde was silent, Noah's words distracted him for a moment, and as a result, he was hit hard by his father's sword, but for new humans. It's nothing.
Char took the initiative to retreat and gave Lin Youdeza time to take nutrients.
"What is this, Father's kindness?" Lin Youde asked, now that he couldn't talk with his voice. So he sent electromagnetic waves, and he knew that Char had a way to receive them.
"Old man Li taught you very well." Char bypassed Lin Youde's question, and his answer was also conveyed through electromagnetic waves. "If it hadn't happened in the past, I'd probably enjoy the game. Don't you plan to give up anyway? My son! If I really can't change the past, it doesn't matter if you let me go back. Isn't it? β
"That way, you'll have new scars, Dad. I'm here to save you! β
[Huh, huh? Noah asked.
[It's been from the beginning.] γ
While arguing with Noah, Lin Youde continued to emit electromagnetic waves: "Have you ever thought about the people who are by your side now? You go back, what about them? β
"They knew what I was going to do, and they volunteered! They have my back! β
"You're making the same mistake again!" Lin Youde refuted and rushed towards Char at the same time, and the psionic swords of the two were staggered again.
This time both sides were faster than before, and without the air in the way, the two of them were moving faster than the old humans and most of the carbon-based races in the galaxy could catch with the naked eye - they could only see a patch of bells and whistles.
But because the division is out of the same school, both of them are too familiar with each other's routines, and such a fast attack and defense did not cause any damage to the two, and all the attacks of both sides were perfectly defended.
As for changing moves, in such a fast attack and defense, even new humans have to rely on experience and the first reaction to deal with it, and only when one side becomes more spared will they start thinking about changing moves to completely lock in the victory.
As the offense and defense heated up, the spirits of the two began to penetrate each other - high-intensity confrontations between psionic sword masters often had such side effects.
All kinds of scattered fragments began to appear in Lin Youde's mind, and he didn't have to think that it was Char, Lin Zhengyi's memory.
He saw Lin Zhengyi telling a story to a Juka man who was too round in a room, and the affection between the two came through the picture.
He saw Lin Zhengyi pulling Lily's mother and running out from the guards of the Belle family, both of them with bright smiles on their faces. This fragment of memory also contains a dialogue, Lin Zhengyi asked, "How is your daughter?" Still wet the bed all day? β
It's a pity that the fragment doesn't contain the girl's answer, so Lin Youde doesn't know if Lily frequently wets the bed when she was a child because she couldn't control the nanomachines for a while.
He also saw Lin Zhengyi on the beach of an unknown planet, hugging his beauties to look at the stars together, and a girl Lin Youde had never seen before was playing with an alien instrument.
As more and more fragments of these memories entered Lin Youde's mind, he gradually became less eager to stop his father.
If you think about it, it doesn't hurt to let Lin Zhengyi continue the experiment, neither civilization will perish because of thisβby the way, Noah said, Lin Zhengyi's device is bound to fail. Thinking about it like this, Lin Youde suddenly found that he didn't have a reason to fight Lin Zhengyi at all, he just tracked the intelligence and arrived at this place, intending to get some super-civilized technology and find clues to the other bases of the organization by the way.
All of this doesn't seem to have to be done before Char's experiment, so you can just wait.
When the experiment fails, maybe Char can be persuaded to help him.
The moment Lin Youde had this idea, Char jumped behind and pulled a considerable distance.
"I really can't change the past." He said.
Lin Youde frowned: [Noah? γ
When Lin Youde and the master were engaged in a psionic sword battle, Noah was responsible for ensuring that the key information in Lin Youde's mind was not leaked, so the moment Char said this, Lin Youde's first reaction was that Noah was derelict in his duties.
[I won't be derelict in my duty, he's testing you. γ
Lin Youde woke up like a dream, and most of his flaws at this moment had been captured by Char.
Sure enough, Char curled the corners of his mouth: "It's really true...... When I was fighting the sword, I looked at the fragments of memory that had leaked out, and I vaguely felt that there was some kind of huge conspiracy hidden behind you? I don't know what it is, but obviously, digging it out and keeping it for myself is very good for accomplishing my goal. β
The moment Char finished speaking, Noah threw the intercepted communication into Lin Youde's mind: Char gave instructions to the ground to terminate the experiment and direct the energy that had been gathered to the transmitter.
"What are you going to do?" Lin Youde asked subconsciously.
"Oh? Looks like you have deciphered my communication encryption, you have a very good cryptographer. But it doesn't matter if you know now, the device on the ground will gather a huge amount of energy, so what to do in order to prevent the uncontrolled energy from swallowing everything around you after an accident? The answer is to install a safety device, the general idea of which is to release dangerous energy to a safe place, just like the ground wire on an ancient electrical appliance. You get the idea, I say that, right? The energy gathered in the experimental device, if used properly, can be used in the form of a weapon through the safety device-"
Xia Yongzhi suddenly shouted in the officer's channel: "There is a high-energy reaction in the orbit, it may be some kind of phase weapon!" In order to avoid damage to the shield generator, I will turn off all shields on this ship, and the whole ship will be ready to deal with high-intensity electromagnetic waves! β
Lin Youde stared at Char, not knowing what to say.
A second later, Lin Youde felt an ultra-high intensity electromagnetic wave, which caused the nanomachinery in his whole body to absorb a considerable degree of energy, and his body temperature also became higher by the way - but that's it, modern humans are not afraid of electromagnetic wave weapons.
Although the "electronic device" on the Enterprise still uses the ancient name, it is far from the ancient era in terms of the materials it is composed of and the basic principles of its operation, and even the electromagnetic waves of this intensity only cause some systems to crash for a while.
The host and network of the enterprise account must still be running, but Lin Youde's bracelet is restarting and cannot be connected.
"How's it going?" Lin Youde asked Xia Yongzhi through the harem channel.
"I don't know how to describe it, now we are running naked with the enemy, and it is a matter of who penetrates all the key parts of the opponent first. I've already taken a lead in the first minute, before the electromagnetic wave came, I aimed at the main power furnace of enemy ship B and fired a mass weapon, and now it should have exploded quite gorgeously, but unfortunately, the external camera equipment is restarting. β
Suddenly, the Enterprise shook violently to its side, almost throwing Lin Youde against the side wall.
"Uh," Xia Yongzhi said in the harem channel, "we also dropped an engine just now, but it's not a big problem, and we can use the remaining engine to ensure enough maneuver speed." I'll have to throw away the engine that's exploding, it might shake a bit. β
"It's already shaking." Lin Youde said.
"Because the inertia damper is also restarting." Xia Yongzhi replied lightly. (To be continued.) )
