Chapter 108: The Gate of Time and Space
Almost at the same time, in the heart of the city. Custer had already left the Federal Reserve Building, he had just called on the radio channel a few times, but like Shen Chao before, he had not received any response from Alice's channel, he did not know that Alice was rushing to the city in the undersea tunnel, and the thick reinforced concrete and sea water blocked their radio communication.
When communication fails, he goes down to the subway tunnel, hoping to find Alice there. According to their previous plan, if Shen Chao and they couldn't go out of the city to join Alice, then their meeting point would be at Madison Square Garden. Of course, they knew it was Godzilla's lair, but it was safe until the protagonist and his party rushed over in the movie. It is one of the few areas in the city that is completely safe for a certain period of time.
In the vault, Shen Chao was looking at a "black hole" the size of a soybean in front of him in a daze. He could only use the word black hole to describe the vision in front of him. The small disc floating in the air, with no discernible thickness or reflecting any light, had been here for a short time, but it seemed to be a little smaller now. After waiting for about two more minutes, the small black dot slowly disappeared in the air.
Seeing this, Shen Chao stopped acting in a daze, he turned off the video function on his visor, and watched the video he had just recorded again to confirm that what he saw just now was not his hallucination. As a result, the scene in the video was exactly the same as what he saw. The small black hole was created out of thin air the last time he traveled back to the vault, the size of a cherry, and hovered around him.
This little "black hole" does not emit any light, sound, or any radiation. At least the readings of the built-in Geiger detector on Shen Chao's nanosuit did not change, and this small black hole did not have any suction, and there was only pure darkness inside. It's as if it existed out of thin air. Shen Chao threw a ballpoint pen while it was still shrinking. As a result, the ballpoint pen disappeared after passing through the "black hole".
Shen Chao waited for a while, then launched the crossing again, and returned to the crossing area of the base, where he found that the ballpoint pen he had thrown into the small black hole was lying quietly on the ground at his feet. Shen Chao immediately picked it up, went back to the living area and took out a notebook to write a few times, and a line of square words appeared on the paper, proving that this pen still writes smoothly, and it seems to be no different from before.
With a single thought, Shen Chao launched the crossing again and returned to the vault. Instead of looking at the shelves full of gold, he moved his gaze to the place where the last black hole appeared. Sure enough, a small black hole appeared again in the air a meter away from his chest. Compared to the previous one, the black hole seems to be a little bigger, close to the size of an egg.
Shen Chao thought about it carefully, maybe it had always been there, but it had always been too small before, and he didn't find it when he was busy traversing. And after crossing it many times, I finally let it slowly become visible to me.
"It's a space-time gate! He finally confirmed that he couldn't think of any other plausible explanation. Because he put a camera in the vault to observe the changes in time during these crossings, the result is that as he crosses more often, the speed of time between the two planes becomes more and more similar. This is his 137th time crossing today, and now, the time ratio between Shen Chao's world and here has reached 3:1!
Needless to say, his intensive back and forth travel is the cause of the change in the flow rate of time, and this small black hole may be the direct cause of the change in the flow rate of time and space. Shen Chao closed his eyes and used his consciousness to feel his connection with this small black hole, and he could feel that he seemed to be able to manipulate this small black hole, as if he was manipulating a part of his body.
He tentatively fed some dream energy into the small black hole, and when he opened his eyes, he found that the small black hole in front of him had become the size of an apple, and its position had shifted according to his thoughts. Seeing this change, Shen Chao almost jumped up with excitement, the significance of this discovery is heavy, because this black hole can be created and manipulated by him. …,
In order to verify the idea in his heart, Shen Chao continued to send energy to the black hole, and as a result, the black hole became bigger and bigger, and finally turned into a large disk with a diameter of nearly two meters.
Soon, he felt that his body was overwhelmed and stopped delivering energy, and he crossed the black hole back to the base's traversal zone. At this time, this place was full of the gold he had looted just now, hundreds of tons, nearly a hundred times the limit when he crossed before. After glancing at his time, he turned around and went back to the vault through the guò black hole (now it should be called the space-time gate).
Somewhat tired, he sat down, and the black hole in front of him slowly became smaller as he expected, and after a few minutes, it disappeared silently like the previous black hole. Shen Chao checked the time again, and now, the time flow rate between the two realms just now was 2:1!
In the messy subway line, Alice carefully walked along the subway line. She had just encountered Godzilla on the subway line, and although she had found cover early and not been injured by Godzilla in Guò, the radio station was smashed by rocks. Now, her search has become more difficult.
She didn't know if Shen Chao was caught by the army or if something else happened, if it was the former, she could still try to rescue it, but if the latter...... Alice shook her head, clearing the thought from her mind. She was reluctant to believe in the latter possibility.
No matter what happens, there will be some traces left at the scene. With that in mind, she left the bunker and continued down the No. 9 subway line. Although Godzilla was a thousand times greater than any bioweapon he had ever seen, Alice was not afraid of it at all, she could feel that it was just an animal that acted on instinct, not a monster created by humans in a culture tank.
Picked up the radio station that had been smashed and checked it, the radio station was quite badly damaged, and it was difficult to repair it with the tools in her hand, looking at the smashed radio shell, she sighed, today's qiē is not smooth, first lost contact with Shen Chao, and now it is this, I am afraid that the only good news is that she finally arrived in the center of the city, and she will soon be able to reach the Federal Reserve Building.
Just then, the phone she kept in her toolkit rang, and she flipped through it and immediately answered it. But the voice on the phone wasn't the one she wanted to hear the most.
"Damn it, Alice, where are you now?" I've been looking for you for half an hour. Custer's voice was rather impatient, of course, because he had just met Godzilla on the road.
"I'm in the subway line, where is Shen?" , how is he ...... now? As soon as Alice opened her mouth, she asked Shen Chao's condition.
"He's fine, what's wrong with you two?" Why do you think that something will happen to the other party? I seem like I'm the only normal person among us, right? "Custer is really a little speechless, why does this pair of supermen and women think that something will happen to each other? Obviously, he's the lowest HP on the team.
"Oh, by the way, I'm fine...... too" Remembering that the other party didn't ask about his situation at all, Custer replied that he felt like a soy sauce crowd.
"What the hell is going on?" How did you lose touch for so long? Alice was obviously not excited when she heard that Shen Chao was fine, and asked this question.
"There were some problems with Shen Chao's main plane and the space-time flow rate of this plane, and we took a break at the base and found that an hour had passed when we came back. In other words, we don't have as much time as we thought we would......" Custer gave a brief overview of their current situation. Including the conjectures he and Shen Chao put forward about this phenomenon. …,
"What's going on with your radio?" Why haven't I been able to contact you before? Custer asked after talking about their current situation, judging from Alice's description, she was in the undersea tunnel before, and it was not surprising that she could not be contacted, but she had left the undersea tunnel ten minutes ago, and they should have been able to contact each other by radio earlier.
"The radio is broken, and I just found out......," Alice explained, and she tried to contact them a few more times along the way, but at first it was okay but they couldn't receive a signal from Shen Chao, but the radio broke after encountering Godzilla underground.
"Okay, I see, let's go to Grand Central Station and discuss what to do next." Custer said after comparing the positions of the two on the map, he breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he found Alice, Shen Chao would not be as excited as before...... That's what he thought.
At this time, Shen Chao in the vault was already excited and almost crazy, although it took a lot of effort, but Tong Guò used the space-time gate he had just discovered, he had already transported all the gold bars here to the base, and he proved that the time flow rate here was adjustable!
At the beginning, he found that only time in his own plane would pass normally, and she was still very strange at the time, but now he found that this was just an incomplete understanding, yes, before he crossed over, the time flow of this world was stagnant relative to him, but his crossing would disturb the time flow ratio between the two realms.
Now it is his 167th time crossing today, and the ratio of time flow speed between the two realms has become close to 1:1, and it is obvious that the impact of the space-time gate on the time flow rate is far greater than his own simple crossing. Moreover, he discovered that after the space-time gate disappeared, the time flow rate of the two realms would slowly return to normal. He sat on the ground and rested for a while.
