Chapter 18: Detachments and Appointments

As the screeching noise subsides, the pop channel slowly closes.

After accepting the surrender of the Nanyanzhou team, Yang Yun did not stay in the submarine to act with the other party. Instead, he returned directly to the temporary position of the Zhongzhou team, located in the depths of the water dozens of kilometers away from the nuclear submarine on which the Nanyanzhou team was riding. In this quiet and secluded safe house, all members of the Middle-earth team are waiting for his return, ready to plan their next move together.

Qi Tengyi reorganized the structure of the sea, creating a safe house in the deep sea, providing a hidden place for the Middle-earth team to rest and deploy. On the one hand, it effectively avoids the tracking of the enemy, and at the same time, the vast ocean can also effectively prevent Yuri's mental power scanning and mind control technology that has been iterated several times without knowing how many times, preventing all accidents from happening.

"This is the key to the time machine......"

Looking at the things in Yang Yun's hand, Zheng Zha couldn't help but show a strange expression. Because in any case, this so-called "key" is just an ordinary square octahedron, except for the strange shape, there are no energy fluctuations, and there is nothing special.

"To be precise, this thing is called the Emblem of Time."

Yang Yun corrected Zheng Zha's statement, and threw out the home remedies octahedron in his hand, and the moment Zheng Zha caught it, the prompt voice of the main god sounded in his ears: "Discover the plot prop, the Emblem of Time, and combine it with the time machine, you can start the time machine......"

"There's a name...... Okay, with the hint of the Lord God, at least we can be sure that this thing is genuine, not a random trick of the enemy. ”

Listening to the prompt voice of the main god, Zheng Zha turned his hand and handed the emblem of time to Chu Xuan, and he frowned and said, "But how does this name sound like a treasure in the fantasy, and it is incompatible with this technological world...... In addition, is it really a time machine that we can also use? ”

"I thought you were already familiar with the plot of Red Alert II." Yang Yun shrugged his shoulders: "Don't tell me until now, you haven't been able to remember those uncomplicated story lines." ”

"Originally, I thought it was just a plot setting, a pure story element. But since the main god has given a hint, it means that the so-called time machine is not only a prop that can be used by the characters in the story, but we can also operate it......"

In any case, there is a considerable difference between a time machine that only exists in the background and a time machine that can be experienced in person. Zheng Qi paused, apparently thinking of appropriate metaphors, and then continued: "It's like in the Terminator movie series, we thought we were just supporting characters at first, and our goal was to protect John Connor from assassination. But when the story really unfolds, we realize that we are actually future characters who can travel through time and space, change history, and follow the governor back to that point in time...... You know what I mean, right? ”

"Yes, yes, but I have a feeling that something is wrong with your comprehension."

Zheng Zhe's language skills were not outstanding, and his words were a little upside down, but Yang Yun, who understood what he was talking about, just showed a speechless expression: "Regardless of why you think we can't use a time machine, just time travel is such a thing, you have an experiencer in front of you." ”

"Ah, yes."

Hearing this, Zheng Zhe reacted to the character that Yang Yun had set for himself at that time, and he couldn't help but touch his head and laughed: "It's that I want to fork in, then the main question we will focus on next is how far the time machine can do and how it will help us...... I remember in the original story, it was enough to return an entire Soviet army to the age of dinosaurs, and Einstein used it to change history. Come to think of it, if we could bring the time machine back to the Lord God Space, it would mean that we could use it for time travel! ”

"We can invest in bonus points, return to other worlds to train and exercise, and then use the time machine to turn back time when we are close to returning. Doesn't that mean we'll have endless time to build up? ”

A flash of excitement flashed in Zheng Zha's eyes, he was obviously thinking of a bold plan in his mind, his hands clenched into fists, as if he had touched the edge of infinite possibilities, "Now I urgently need a lot of time to become familiar with the power of the fourth-order gene lock, not only that, but I also need time to perfect my genes, strengthen my body, and make it a true 'perfect body'......"

"Mortal Wisdom ......"

But before Zheng Zhe's daydream was finished, Chu Xuan, who also received the prompt of the main god, took the first step to deny his idea: "Your idea doesn't even have the slightest possibility, because the return of the main god itself contains the element of 'time', don't forget that no matter how long we have exchanged the return time, it will only pass for a second after returning to the main god space." I don't think the time machine in Red Alert II can break through the authority of the main god. ”

"And even if it is a time machine, it still has great limitations, why did the Nanyanzhou team, as the first reincarnation team to enter the second world of Red Alert, fall to such a miserable end now? Neos managed to take advantage of the situation in fifteen days without the interference of other reincarnation squads, and took the initiative of the time machine, which was not quite a difficult thing from God's point of view...... Do you think he would want to use the time machine to maximize his advantage while the other two reincarnation teams have not yet arrived? ”

“…… It's not that I don't want to, but I can't. ”

Unlike Zheng Zha, Yang Yun was much more sober, and he said thoughtfully: "The time machine is such a powerful plot prop, and the use of it will inevitably have extremely harsh conditions. Sixty days later, let's leave it alone, if the Lord God really gave the South Yanzhou team such a big 'momentum' at the beginning, it would be unfair to the North Ice Continent team that entered fifteen days later. ”

Chu Xuan nodded and said, "That's right, the pros and cons of the time machine have been clearly stated in the original plot. First of all, it requires an extremely large amount of energy to start, and the power plants shown in the game may be just the tip of the iceberg, but anyone who knows a little bit about physics will understand that it takes an astronomical amount of energy to return an entire Soviet army to the age of dinosaurs. ”

"Uh......"

Being said like this, Zheng Zha also had to admit that what Chu Xuan said was very reasonable. Based on energy, even time travel, space travel, and many other things that seem like miracles to ordinary people are inseparable from the support of energy. If this problem is not solved, everything will be in the air.

"Second, the time machine may be able to change some history, but it can't change the real 'general trend'."

Chu Xuan said calmly: "Major events that should happen will still happen, and this is not something that can be avoided by killing someone or erasing an important decision...... In a sense, this is a kind of historical inevitability and revision, even in a time machine with the ability to change the past, the core events of history will still occur in a certain way, so as to maintain the coherence of the timeline. ”

"That's why Neos deliberately took out this emblem of time separately when he couldn't do anything, on the one hand, not to let the Arctic Continent team and Yuri use this time machine, and on the other hand, to use it as a bargaining chip at a critical moment, and deliberately handed it over to our Middle-earth team...... However, the key alone is of no use, and the body and blueprint of the time machine are the things that really matter. ”

"Could it be that we got a chicken rib?" Zheng Zha asked a little unwillingly.

"No, it's not chicken."

Saying this, Chu Xuan handed over the home remedies octahedron in his hand to Qi Tengyi: "Qi Tengyi, try to use the advanced ability of the mother box to analyze the composition of this object, whether it is to copy or reverse decipher the technology, it will help us." ”

"Understood." Qi Teng smiled slightly: "Just leave it to me." ”

"Very good, but Qi Tengyi, I still have to add a burden to you, and then you need to cooperate with Zhan Lan to solve Yuri's psychic illusion camouflage technique against the mental power controller."

For the aspect of research, Yang Yun can be said to have seven tricks and six tricks, but it does not prevent him from exerting his subjective initiative as a captain at this time, that is, handing over the work he doesn't understand to someone who understands: "Just now, Neos has shared the general principle of this technology and the decipherment results researched by their scientists with our Zhongzhou team. ”

"The technical research Qi Teng will do it as soon as he arrives, and as for the actual operation, Zhan Lan, this aspect is your job."

"I understand."

Zhan Lan, who had obviously unlocked the third-order genetic lock, but seemed to have had trouble since entering this world, nodded, and just now, she also got the corresponding information from Neos: "It's just the use of spiritual power skills, I was just not familiar with this aspect of spiritual power skills before, so I was misled accordingly...... Now that I understand it, I'm sure I'll be able to close this loophole in a short period of time. ”

Yang Yun nodded and said, "Well, then about the sweeping work of the Yuri Rocket Launch Base in this area, I will trouble you and Zheng Zhe to complete it." In any case, this is the first place we have come to this world, and there may be some special purpose of the main god in it...... Destroying that base and preventing Yuri from continuing to deliver supplies to the moon could also effectively delay the completion of the giant mind control device. ”

Zheng Zha and Zhan Lan, a pair of surprising but reasonable detachment combinations. With Zheng Zhe's current strength, he can completely ignore the Yuri army in this area, and the only concern is that this guy may have passed the sex and accidentally injured an Allied or Soviet army friend who was mind-controlled by an AOE. But with Zhan Lan's help, this last problem will not be a problem either.

- Of course, for Zheng Zhe, it may be a big problem.

"Uh......"

Zheng Qi cautiously glanced at Zhan Lan beside him, and asked Yang Yun with a bitter face, "What, can you change to another job?" I feel like I'm staying here to sweep Yuri's base is a bit of an overkill. I thought you'd let me go to the South Pole and raid Yuri's base camp on my own, while you grabbed a rocket and flew to the moon and smashed the telepathic controller into a scrap of metal......"

"Strategically defying the enemy, tactically valuing the enemy,"

Yang Yun shook his head and rejected Zheng Zha's proposal: "I wouldn't say that the water in this world is very deep, deep enough to drown our Zhongzhou team, but now the enemy's way has not yet been figured out, so it is not suitable to be so public." As for the matter over there in Antarctica, Zhao Yingkong can go to investigate first...... Zheng Zha, you won't be afraid, right? ”

"I'm scared? How can it be? ”

Zheng Zha laughed, however, when he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Zhan Lan beside him also showing a smile, his laughter couldn't help but be mixed with a little embarrassment and discomfort, and even more of a certain taste of weakness.

Yang Yun ignored him anymore, turned his head to look at Zhao Yingkong on the other side and said, "What, is there a problem with this task?" ”

Zhao Yingkong's Warden Armor Helmet covered most of her face in the shadows, and when she heard this, she didn't answer, just shook her head to show that she didn't have any doubts. Cheng Xiao, on the other hand, glanced at the six newcomers who were still amazed by the scenery under the sea, but now they only felt bored, but they looked impatient because they were excluded from the veterans: "Then what next?" Are we going to follow the Nanyanzhou team to that 'Paradise Lost'? ”

"It's true that I'm going, but it's not us acting together, it's me, Chu Xuan and Qi Teng and three people."

At the moment when he said this, Yang Yun seemed to hesitate for a moment, but this moment was only fleeting, and finally he made a decision: "Zero, Cheng Xiao, Overlord, Luo Gandao, you will protect the newcomer here first, and this location created by Qi Tengyi should be able to ensure safety and concealment...... As for the rest of the matter, keep in touch. ”

After hearing Yang Yun's decision, Chu Xuan, who had always been a wise man in the team, did not show the slightest opinion, but silently pushed his glasses. The action seemed to be full of deep meaning, but the silence was elusive to his mind at this time. The four people who were named by Yang Yun to stay, their expressions showed a little confusion. In their opinion, Yang Yun's decision seemed a little too careful......

But before they could ask questions, the outspoken Zheng Zha asked the question first, and the man frowned and said, "What kind of 'Paradise Lost' are you really going to?" ”

"Nature."

Facing Zheng Zha's questioning, Yang Yun responded with a smile: "Since the invitation has been made, it is natural for you to take a look." (End of chapter)
