Wingate went through the onboarding process smoothly and received the uniform unique to the Time Court.

After completing all the work on the job, Agent 3327, acting as the mentor, took Wingate to the residence.

The Time Court doesn't have a bright sign like other Imperial government departments.

It hides in the darkness and does not appear in front of the world unless necessary.

Runaway events are generally classified as emergencies.

It will not be announced to the public, and all actions will be kept in the highest confidence.

Non-related personnel will erase their memories afterwards to avoid damage to the timeline.

Time agents often have the status of HBT agents as well.

In the process of carrying out missions, they will also secretly collect secret information for the God Emperor or the Imperial Council, and can mobilize most of the Imperial troops to escort their missions.

Their special seals are even able to ask for help when traveling back in time.

The elevator slowly descends, and the floor display panel is constantly beating.

After reaching -99, the beating stops.

At least a few hundred meters underground.

Wingate looked at the readings on the floor indications, and was a little surprised in his heart, he didn't expect that the residence and training base of the Time Court would be set up so deep underground.

"There are still some differences between us and ordinary agents, so the training base is located underground, and the residence is also underground."

Number 3327 seems to see the newcomer's confusion.

So while taking Wingate down to the ground by elevator, he explained to him.

The elevator doors opened with a crisp sound.

A dim, wide passage was revealed.

Shrines are embedded on both sides of the passage, which contain sculptures of imperial heroes or god-emperors.

The brazier in front of the shrine is the only source of light for the passage.

The firelight swayed under the turbulence of the air current, distorting the shadows of the two.

The hallway was unusually quiet, except for the sound of their moving footsteps.

Wingate found that at intervals, there was a flame emblem on the wall-—— with a dark black background and starlight dotted around the golden flames, each of which was designed by a master artist and blessed by a priest's prayer.

The emblems didn't seem to have any power, but as he walked between them, Wingate's heart began to calm down.

The power of the God-Emperor is contained in it, which can calm the fearful humans and bring reason back to the brains of the confused.

Although he stayed in the Xuanyuan system, the power of the God Emperor was omnipresent.

The underground space is vast, as if the empire had completely emptied it.

Intricate roads lead to all over the place.

At a glance, all of them are densely packed with alloy gates.

They all contain certain things, either precious seals, or some items that contain the characteristics of time, and some unique materials copied from the past.

There are a lot of good things in the hands of the Time Court.

"That's the training ground, the weapons, the materials, and the documentation."

3327 introduces Wingate to each room.

Let them have a preliminary understanding of the division of the time court.

"The agent level within the Time Court is divided into nine levels, and the level is related to the benefits you enjoy and retirement benefits."

"Am I a first-class agent now?" Wingate asked.

Number 3327 glanced at Wingate, then shook his head.

"No, you're just a rookie, on probation, and you'll have to pass your first mission to become a first-class agent. If you hang up on your first assignment, you're a temporary worker. ”

Wingate felt a little hurt, but managed to control his emotions well, "Okay, so how soon can I do my first mission?" ”

"When you're ready." Number 3327 said, "Processing time may involve traversing, which is a very dangerous errand. If you're not careful, you'll die in the past. ”

"If I die in the past, will it have any effect?"

Wingate asked a very important question.

His simple mind still couldn't figure out how the Time Court worked.

Time should still be a perfect closed loop

。 If the past can be changed, then the future is predestined.

In that case, the future must be hopeless.

It's like the paradox of that grandmother,

A murderer travels back in time and shoots his own grandmother.

Without his grandmother there would be no mother, and without his mother there would be no murderer.

Without the birth of a murderer, he would not have traveled back, and naturally he would not have been able to kill anyone, and his grandmother would have survived, and then he would have given birth to the murderer's mother, and the murderer's mother would have given birth to a murderer.

This is the paradox of time.

Once you travel to the past, the future is certain for those at that time.

"Of course there will be an impact. Most of the time, the laws of the universe will correct the curve of time, and your body will disappear into subatoms, which will then be sent back to where you should be by the flow of time. Your profile shows that you should have completed the basics and have some knowledge of the universe. ”

"Yes, my grades are not bad."

The Galactic Empire has invested a lot in education, and in some areas that have long been liberated, it has basically achieved comprehensive literacy.

Ordinary people like Wingate were able to complete fifteen years of basic education.

With the assistance of various auxiliary chips and mechanical and electronic auxiliary brains, the learning and memory ability of contemporary people is far beyond that of previous eras, and the amount of knowledge they have is not comparable to that of ancient humans.

Not to mention anything else, if you travel to the primitive era of human beings, you can properly reduce the dimensionality of the attack.

Then you should know that the human body, like other real objects, is made up of the most basic matter in the universe, including our body, and every cell is made of atoms. These atoms also have their own spatial structure and time dimension, otherwise they would not be able to move. ”

"When we go back in time from the present, it's like sending the atoms of the present back in time, which is not allowed under normal circumstances, but we are able to use the properties of subspace and reality to complete the traversal, bend their timelines, and allow us to go back in time."

"Subspace and reality are two anchors that travel through time, and without these two anchors, we cannot complete the crossing, and we will be corrected by the flow of time carried by the atom itself and return to its original position."

"When we die, the soul dissipates, and the journey through the journey loses its anchor in subspace, and the laws of reality restore it. A bent flow of time will drag the atoms back to their original time, otherwise it will cause a disorder in the universe and the law of conservation of all things will be completely destroyed. ”

After saying this, Agent 3327 added, "Of course, there will be some surprises. ”

"What kind of contingency?" Wingate asked.

"Time collapses, that is, the past is changed, in which case the atoms are stuck where they shouldn't, causing a chain collapse." Agent 3327 paused unconsciously, "That's the worst-case scenario, only in theory, and the creatures that can do it are beyond human imagination. If that happens, not only human civilization, but the entire universe may be in danger of being destroyed. However, this kind of thing is difficult to do, because the universe is so vast that it exceeds the boundaries of people's thoughts, and there is no way to have any effect on the whole universe for the change of a certain region. ”

"For the most part, it's just the timeline of humanity that's at stake. Because the past is destroyed, the long river of time belonging to human beings is distorted, the human race will lose a dimension, and human time will come to a standstill, or even turn backwards, unable to move forward, but trapped in the past. ”

"The mission of the Court of Time is to protect the timeline of the empire and ensure that the empire is not destroyed at the source."

"And what about before the Empire?"

"The empire is a vanished past, it has nothing to do with us, and the older the time, the less influence it has on the present. Lord Xu Fu once gave a very appropriate example, called Kezhou to ask for a sword. It is said that in the primitive age of mankind, when human beings had not yet stepped into the void, their ships could sail in the seas and lakes. A man was riding in a boat when his sword fell into the lake. The people on the boat told him to hurry to fish, but the boat was far away, but he couldn't find it. But the man did not hurry, and carved a mark on the side of the ship, and said to the others, This is the place where the sword fell into the water, so I will engrave a mark, and when I reach the shore, I will go and fish for the sword. People didn't understand, but they didn't say anything. ”

"And then?" Wingate asked curiously.

When the ship came to shore, the man jumped down from the marked place to retrieve the fallen sword, but he never caught it, and the incident became a joke after dinner. Time is the ship, and the sword that falls is the past. Time (the ship) is forward, the sword (the past) stays in the same place, and when the ship docks, trying to retrieve the sword from the marked position will naturally fail. Your mother has given birth to you, and that time period has been frozen, collapsed, and become a thing of the past. Your own time has begun. Even if someone travels back in time and kills your mother before she gave birth to you, it will only destroy a long collapsed past, and it will not change the present you were born into. ”

"It's still complicated." Wingate scratched his head and said, "It's a mess. ”

"This universe is inherently chaotic, what we have to do is to follow the guidance of the God Emperor and protect the timeline."

"If destroying the past can't change the present, why guard."

The above statements are just a metaphor that gives you a simple idea of what time is and what form it takes. The effects of time, space, and matter are complex and far beyond our imagination. ”

"Destroying the past does not change the future, but civilization is rooted in the past and moving towards the future, and when the past is completely destroyed, the future is also affected, and the closer it is to the present past, the greater the impact. It is even possible that humanity will be cursed by time, and all kinds of chaos will occur, and it may even lead to tomorrow never coming. ”

"Still half-understood." "Looks like I'm going to have to take a long time to learn." ”

"You still have to learn a lot of things, fighting, shooting, etc., you have to learn systematically. Traveling back in time to the past, there is a great risk, and if you are not careful, you may be killed. ”

"What kind of risk is it?"

"If you travel back in time to the Robot War, you might be killed by those crazy Robots. Past enemies, as well as those wars that have broken out, can be our enemies. ”

"Didn't the past collapse? It's already a certainty, why do you still threaten us?? ”

"The time we carry is in the future, and when we enter the past time period, we let the things around us acquire the future flow of time. To put it simply, you become the source of the future flow of time in that time period, allowing the past to change, and making those people make choices that are different from history. ”

"I think the past is immutable, why should we make them choose differently!!"

"It's true that the past doesn't change, but when you travel through, the past is no longer the past, but the future. Yesterday is in the past, but when you travel back to yesterday, yesterday is no longer yesterday, but today's yesterday. The past time has collapsed, but the time traveled brings with it a new, uncollapsed time, so that there is an impact on the past, and those who are affected have the possibility to make new choices. When you leave, the source is gone, and those times return to normal, and the chaotic flow of time fades away, making it impossible to move forward. It's like a rubber band, when you press it hard, it deforms, and when you let go of your hand, it comes back to its original shape. ”

"When we go back to the past, the changes brought about may make those creatures attack us, and what's more, subspace has no concept of time, and the creatures in it may also ambush us, the necessary combat skills, and the means of self-defense are very important."

“.”

The two of them talked as they walked forward.

Wingate took the opportunity to clear up a lot of confusion in his heart, and also had a general understanding of the Time Court.

The authority of the Time Court is very high, and it is directly responsible to the God Emperor, and Lord Xu Fu is responsible for specific matters.

The aim is to stop those creatures with the ability to travel through time from destroying the history of the Empire.

"Here we are."

3327 stands in front of a door with a flame insignia.

"This is your private dormitory, and the staff treatment of Time Court is still very good. From tomorrow, you will be officially trained. ”

"I understand." Wongai nodded, "I will certainly live up to your expectations. ”

Agent 3327 shook his head and smiled, "Not my expectations, but his." We all serve Him, give our lives for Him, give everything we have. That's all for the conversation, rest early, training is not easy, and then organize a group of technicians to evaluate you to see what kind of transformation you are suitable for! ”

Wingay nodded, and he pushed open the flame gate.

It was a standard three-bedroom, two-living room residence that belonged to him alone.

No. 3327 didn't linger long, he turned and left, disappearing into the darkness of the hallway.

Wingate's heart was full of anticipation.

I longed for myself to serve the God Emperor as soon as possible.

The next day, Wingate officially underwent training with the Time Court.

Practice your fighting skills and learn how to operate your equipment, while you get modified, activate your psionic talents, and implant agent-type mechanical prosthetics that make him even more powerful.

Soon, he will be trained and thrown into great causes, burning himself like a piece of firewood.

Qin Zheng noticed the fate of Agent 9527, and he was able to sense the young man's devotion and love for him.

Perhaps, at some point in the future, this agent will play an important role and become a pawn in his hands against the enemy.

But Qin Zheng didn't pay too much attention to Agent 9527, but waited for him to grow and consume it when necessary.

If you want to win, you have to accept this inevitable coldness.

He's been in the realm longer and longer.

One day, in order to fight the gods, he will sit there completely, remote control the entire human race against the ancient gods.

Until humanity no longer needs him, he will stand up again.

Qin Zheng's gaze vigilantly watched every area, to avoid some ill-intentioned guys digging holes in his plan.

Cheers rang in his ears, and someone was celebrating in his name.

Qin Zheng looked over and found that it was Charles. Asford.

At present, the follow-up optimization of the Storm Warrior and most of the genetic enhancement projects are basically in charge of Charles.

Qin Zheng only sensed it a little, and he understood the ins and outs of why the other party was cheering.

Charles completed the Ancestor project that he had previously explained, and worked out a standard reinforcement process for ordinary people.

The Storm Soldier acts as a high-level class of humanity, a strategy that was developed from the start.

But in an army, there can't be just one class of Storm Warriors.

Storm Marines are expensive, each requiring complex surgeries to modify and cultivate, and their equipment is even more expensive.

They are destined to be used as spearheads.

The main body of the Imperial army is still the large number of ordinary people.

Although there are mechanical prosthetics to strengthen the physical qualities of these ordinary people.

But as the enemy becomes stronger and stronger, the role of ordinary people in the war of conquest is getting smaller and smaller, and they are basically cannon fodder.

Especially in the face of the level of the star spirit, ordinary people go up to give people heads.

The Storm Trouser needs to be better optimized.

After all, biotechnology has its own limits, and it is impossible to continue to enhance them on the basis of the original.

Unless they are willing to mold them into inhuman, but that goes against the original intention.

Therefore, the direction of future research must change.

It should be placed in the field of the combination of subspace power and real biotechnology.

Give the Storm Troopers their own subspace essence and allow them to self-reinforce themselves in constant killing and fighting, pushing the limits of biology.

To put it simply, it is to allow them to level up through killing, become cutting-edge troops, and even become one legend after another.

Ordinary people must also be the best fighters. Through a variety of universal transformations, you can also continue to grow and become a hero.

This is not difficult to do.

Qin Zheng himself had the power to fight and kill, and the more living beings died, the stronger Qin Zheng's power would be.

Just sharing this trait with ordinary people will make them stronger in killing.

You should also go out for a walk appropriately.

Qin Zheng opened his eyes, and the hall he was in was as dark as ever.

Silent Janissaries stood everywhere, protecting their lord.

Anyone who hasn't been summoned won't be able to get in.

"Your Majesty." Saladin immediately noticed the awakening of his lord, and he walked in front of Qin Zheng and saluted.

Qin Zheng nodded and stood up.

"Take a trip to the space station for biological experiments in outer space."

Saladin didn't question Qin Zheng's words, he turned around and walked out to arrange this matter.

Ten minutes later, the prepared fighter formation and exclusive transport boats were moored on the tarmac.

The engines roared, ready for takeoff.

The idlers and others were emptied to avoid a repeat of the previous assassination.

Qin Zheng was not critical of this approach.

He still knows a lot about the fanatical religion of the current empire.

Those fanatics are much crazier than star-chasing.

Once they know that he is coming out, they will surely gather and cheer for him.

Emptying those people and hiding their tracks is also a time-saving practice.

The transport boat took off with a roar and flew into outer space under the escort of a formation of fighters.

Charles's biology lab is set up on a giant space station in the Void.

A large number of top biological experts gather here to study human augmentation.

The Storm Warrior's genetic map and biological tissues have all been dismantled and studied.

The enhancement for the Storm Trooper is nearing the end of natural biology.

Even the biological knowledge left behind by the Human Alliance could no longer support the Galactic Empire to continue its exploration.

Unless technology explodes again, it will be possible to extract more.

The easiest fruits to pick on the tree of technology have already been picked, and the rest need to pay more to verify and learn.

The Galactic Empire has to grope its way forward before it can get new technology.

However, this is not a simple matter.

It takes a lot of capital investment to make it possible to make some new breakthroughs.

But for the reinforcement of ordinary people, it is going very well.

Achievements are being made continuously.

The first successful test of the Ancestor Project got everyone excited.

And what made them even more excited was the arrival of the Holy Emperor, Qin Zheng.

No one had received the news beforehand, and they didn't know that the God Emperor was coming over until the guards landed and took control of the security measures in the laboratory.

When Qin Zheng's transport boat landed, Charles and the others were already waiting on the tarmac.

The roaring engine unleashed a frenzied air current.

The hatch slowly opened, and under the escort of the guards, the figure that escaped with golden light slowly walked out of the cabin, making those people hold their breath.

Charles and the others saluted the comers, their eyes reverent and warm.

"No more courtesy, Charles." Qin Zheng walked up to Charles, his tone full of majesty.

This made Charles even more religious.

"Your Majesty, is there anything I can do to help you?"

"Take me to see your experiments." Qin Zheng said, "I don't have much time, and I have to do other things." ”

Hearing this, Charles was stunned for a moment before reacting

"Your Majesty wants to see the finished product of the Ancestor Plan?"

"Yes." Qin Zheng nodded, "Don't doubt how I know, nothing can hide from me." ”

"The subordinates don't mean this, since Your Majesty wants to see it, let's go, the experiment is in the sterile area of the laboratory."

Charles didn't suspect that he had undercover agents, spies or anything like that.

The God-Emperor doesn't need any of that.

Before the empire was established, he could already project remotely.

Not long ago, he was assassinated, and he was able to be reborn from the fire, but he was afraid that his power would be more mysterious.

Under the leadership of Charles, Saladin and other janissaries escorted Qin Zheng to the interior of the biological laboratory.

Six thousand two, rush
