Time is in the loop.

Again and again, and again.

Forty-five days is a boundary, and when the needle crosses midnight, everything begins again when Yuri's army takes over the base. Professor Siegfried and his team of scientists are conducting their own research again and again.

But unlike before, the day after Professor Siegfried decided to form a "European Alliance", they received research results rescued from the front by a mysterious man who claimed to be "Shaw". This information, though of mysterious origin, is incredibly valuable, providing them with valuable knowledge and ideas from a high-level perspective, helping them to hold their ground in this war of science and time, and perhaps even finding the key to disrupting the status quo.

The research reports and data given by "Xiao" have become a new bible for scientists, and the detailed content and useful information have provided them with unprecedented research directions and inspiration. They are not just a pile of data and words, but more like a guiding light, allowing scientists to find their way through the fog.

Scientists, led by Professor Sigfried, rejoiced that the coalition had left a spark of hope. They feel that this is not only a job, but also an honorable mission, and if they can take the research of the time machine to the next level, it is possible to change the status quo, reverse the defeat of the coalition forces, and even end Yuri's rule. As a result, they put more enthusiasm and energy into working day and night than ever before.

This collective enthusiasm and effort has made the atmosphere in the base extremely tense and hopeful. Every scientist knows that their work goes far beyond personal glory and achievement, and they are fighting for the freedom of humanity as a whole. Driven by this shared belief, they may indeed be able to do wonders and find the key to changing the future.

…… It's like a group of donkeys looking at the carrots hanging on their heads, and thus lifting the momentum to keep moving forward.

What the scientists don't know is that the environment they live in is a huge farm, there are no salvaged research results, there is no last resistance force, everything is just the results of the scientists of the "European Alliance" themselves.

Every time the 45-day countdown reaches zero, "Xiao" will take their research results, quietly turn the pointer back to the starting point, and then at the starting point, the conclusions reached by the scientists will be handed over to them under the name of "salvaged research results".

- She didn't even bother to hide her name.

The end of the previous reincarnation is the starting point of the next reincarnation.

The end of the next reincarnation is the starting point of the next reincarnation.

Technology is iterating, and time is recursive. Every time time is reset, the scientists do not start from scratch, but stand on the basis of their last research, like standing on the shoulders of giants, each time they are able to see farther and think deeper.

Successful experiments are inherited, and failed results are discarded, and in the cycle of time, we can always see the right path, and then continue to push forward the research. This process is like a game that allows for an infinite number of retries where they can read and redo again and again, each time getting closer to the optimal solution. The difference is only a plaything in this game, the most talented scientists in this group of Soviet-allied forces.

As the cycle of time continues to change, it is inevitable that some scientists will not be able to keep up with this high-intensity iteration of thinking. Because they have lost their memories in the time loop, they simply cannot fully comprehend the increasingly complex data and research results.

They need time to learn, even if it's them who come to the conclusions.

By the time the second forty-five-day cycle ended, some scientists had begun to find themselves unable to comprehend the complex data and research results that had gone through multiple iterations. In this case, they began to slowly fall behind and could not keep up with the pace of the team's research.

By the time the sixth cycle began, more than two-thirds of the people had fallen behind.

By the time the eighth cycle began, there were only three of the hundreds of scientists left.

When the ninth cycle began, only Professor Siegfried and Yunru were able to understand the research reports that seemed to be written in heaven after a period of study.

……

"The loop of time, after all, has a limit."

This was a sentence that suddenly popped up when Professor Siegfried was researching Yunru, and the scholar uttered an earth-shattering sentence in an almost casual tone: "Unfortunately, it seems that even I can only end it here." ”

"Oh."

But all he got was a simple response from Yunru, she knew early on that in the third time reincarnation, Professor Siegfried discovered that time was reincarnated, because even if technology is iterated again, there are traces of their own ideas after all. Therefore, she had already secretly exchanged some relevant information with the founder of the "European Alliance".

But what's the use of that?

In this ever-circulating world, Yunru is the only person in the team of scientists who retains memories of the past, and she knows very well that the reason she can retain them is because of the cubic octahedron that Commander Neos gave her.

This experience is like being trapped in an endless dream, clearly feeling everything that is happening, but not being able to change the direction of the dream...... And the only thing that has changed is that Yunru's youth and childishness gradually fade away in this seemingly endless cycle, and she is forced to grow into a mature individual beyond her age.

The river of time always washes her back to that eternal starting point, and the only thing that will not change is her memory.

"Don't be like this, Yunru, I can have a hunch that when this technology is completed, it will be the end of everything."

Listening to Yunru's answer, Siegfried smiled helplessly, he recorded a series of numbers in the report, and then sighed and said, "No matter what, they always need a scientist to maintain this technology for them...... After all, when it is put into use, there are still a lot of corresponding problems. ”

"But they'll only keep the most suitable person, Professor." Yun Ru replied flatly: "And you, as the one who created this technology, will inevitably be the only candidate." ”

"No, that person is you, Yunru."

The sudden words made Yun Ru, whose feelings had already disappeared in her body, raise her head in surprise. She was greeted with Professor Siegfried's encouraging smile.

"But I ......"

Yunru has a lot to say.

- She once thought that she was the most special one, the savior of heaven.

- She once thought that she had the clues of time and could guide the world to a different future.

But in reality, the results of each attempt ruthlessly told her that she couldn't change anything. The world is like a set stage play, and she is in a seemingly endless loop, going through the same events over and over again, trying to find a way out. But no matter how hard she tries, the ending has already been pre-written.

So, she lowered her head: "I'm just a coward who can't do anything...... That's all. ”

"Being able to survive this time loop is your talent in itself, Yunru, you are different from us old guys who are limited to the future."

Professor Sigfried smiled and said, "You are the one chosen by Commander Neos, and I am not...... It turns out that the commander did not pick the wrong person, and this may also be a fateful choice. ”

"Trust the judgment of Commander Neos, wait for the time to resist, wait for the moment of victory."

When Yunru was stunned, Siegfried's palm was already on her shoulder, and the warm words also reached her heart.

"Wait, and hope." (End of chapter)
