After taking stock of the harvest, Lloyd was also a little tired, and wanted to take advantage of the fact that the 'rescue cabin' had not yet 'docked', squint for a while, and rest, but it was not long after he closed his eyes, and suddenly there was a strong dizziness and discomfort in his mind.

Why are you 'jet lag'?

He hurriedly took out the 'Synchronized Hourglass', knocked it a few times to eliminate the discomfort on his body, and then took out his pocket watch to look at the time of the world outside.

It's still afternoon......

Then, Lloyd radiated inspiration again, and with the [projection] outside the 'rescue capsule', he checked the situation of the space storm.

He found himself in a relative position in the space he was currently in, far away from the storm, and at the same time far away from the academy.

Therefore, the 'time period' in which we are located is also synchronized to this side of the world.

At the same time, because of the change in the speed of time, the previous surging space storm, which seemed to be able to sweep the whole world, suddenly became calm?

But they didn't disappear there, but because of the speed difference in time, they suddenly became very slow and slow, as if they were frozen, presenting a very unique spectacle.

Lloyd also felt something for a while, and hurriedly put all his attention on this frozen storm, quietly appreciating, or greedy understanding.

If the previous experience of being at the center of the storm was more detailed and more microscopic, then the current long-distance observation is a more holistic and macroscopic observation.

He could probably feel that in this mysterious, weird, unpredictable and alien space, the two concepts of [time] and [space], which should be very objective, have become unstable and solid, as if they can be manipulated and modified at will.

But the concept of "space" can be said to be the cornerstone of shaping the world; And [time] can be regarded as the cornerstone of human thinking, reason, and even the entire civilization on a certain level......

But they are so 'fragile' and so 'changeable' in this different space......

It's amazing!

How did humans in the glorious era discover this alien space, and how did they establish an area like Mizkatok or the Theater of Dreams?

At this moment, Lloyd experienced the incomprehensible gulf between the new and the old in a more profound way, and the gap was so large that it seemed like two completely different civilizations.

It was a past worth remembering and yearning for.

Lloyd sighed heartfelt in his heart, and continued to think about these messy, complex and profound questions.

By the time the 'rescue pod' got closer and closer to the present world, it was beyond his observation range, and he could no longer appreciate the frozen space storm.

Lloyd couldn't help but feel a little regretful in his heart.

But that's enough......

So he modified his current plan a little and took out the space pocket watch from his arms.

But he smiled inexplicably, and then threw the instrument back into the storage bag.

He felt like he didn't need anything like that anymore.

Then, Lloyd casually stretched out his hand, mobilized the spiritual power in his body, and at the same time opened the [Distorted Realm], and then drew a box in the air.

The space was at his fingertips, like a weak bubble, easily slashed open, revealing a portal inside.

Even if he didn't need to push open the door, he knew that behind it was Mizkatok.

There was no calculation, no instrumentation, just a casual stroke, and the portal opened.

And with the spatial position he was in at the moment, he was already far, far away from Mizkatok, and ordinary spatial equipment could not open a portal so far away.

What's more, that space storm is currently sweeping through Mizkatok, and the corresponding coordinates and readings are probably already a mess.

So theoretically speaking, Mizkatok at this time was in an embarrassing situation where he couldn't get in and couldn't get out.

But Lloyd was still able to open the portal with unmistakable accuracy.

His [Spatial Domination] skill has not been upgraded, but his previous distant observation of that freezing storm has made his understanding of space a big step forward, and it belongs to the 'ability category' that has greatly improved.

Lloyd was vaguely confident that he might be able to do something that Professor Lawrence couldn't do with the help of [Space Domination], right?

He couldn't help but smile and sighed in a low voice:

"It's a pity that you can only play like this in a different space, if only you had such a degree of freedom in this world."

With that, he turned back and picked up the lecturer and teaching assistant, who were still unconscious, and threw them into the portal, before strolling inside.

And this temporary life-saving pod made of half of the commissary, Lloyd did not abandon it, but guided it to continue to drift slowly to the present world, and I feel that it should come in handy in the future.

……………………

Time goes back a little earlier, when the space storm just began.

"Professor! I observed the traces of the space elevators, and they are back! ”

Researcher Dandy looked at the barrage of data in front of him, and suddenly burst into a cry of excitement.

He was supposed to be on vacation in this world today, but he was forced back by Professor Lawrence in this unprecedented storm.

At this time, there were more people in the laboratory than when Lloyd first came in, and the entire space department was basically gathered, with all kinds of lecturers, teaching assistants, researchers, and even students all gathered here, and in addition to Professor Lawrence, there were two other professors who were studying other fields.

Even the location of the entire laboratory has changed, from the original single layer to three floors, as if the three laboratories are superimposed, and various people can be seen busy in it, and various light curtains and data are flying in the air.

And the good news brought by Dandy injected a burst of strength into the already solemn atmosphere, and a series of cheers suddenly sounded in the laboratory:

"Good, good! They're finally back, and it's not in vain that I wasted my vacation to come back! ”

"Haha, didn't I just say it earlier? The space elevators we have built with great effort are very sturdy and reliable, and they will definitely come back! ”

"How lucky are they to be able to survive this storm? It is said that the elevator is still a freshman? Isn't that remarkable? ”

"Okay, okay, now that the people are back, let's continue to observe the data, this is an unprecedented super storm."

"Huh? Are you still in the mood to observe? I just want to run away, such a terrible storm, I'm afraid the academy can't hold on, right? ”

"Shut up! Our mission now is to protect the Academy, or can you try to see if you can escape? ”

When Professor Lawrence heard such good news, he also breathed a long sigh of relief, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart:

Lloyd, this guy, I don't know if I came back early, I have to be so extreme, it really raises my blood pressure, I must criticize and educate him when I go back!

As he spoke, he looked back at the other two professors who were on the top floor with him.

The two are named Pierce and Albert, and they are responsible for basic theoretical research and space equipment development, respectively.

Although they are both in the space department, the three professors have different philosophies and have a bad personal relationship, and the two professors are often compared to Professor Lawrence as 'old pedants in an ivory tower'.

But at this critical juncture, everyone can still put aside each other's prejudices and unite to resist disasters together.

After hearing the good news, the two professors also breathed a sigh of relief, and then complained with thorns in their arms:

"Although they are back, Lawrence, your abruptness and recklessness are still close to causing a catastrophe, and you would send a freshman to participate in such an important operation? I think you're really crazy! ”

"Yes, it's hard to understand why you trust a freshman so much. Are you stupid? ”

In the face of the reproach of the two colleagues, Professor Lawrence did not refute, but looked down at the students and researchers who were busy in the two floors of the laboratory below.

That's all there is to the space department, if you refute it yourself, let the following people know the magic and outrageousness of Lloyd, it's really hard to say how many people can survive......

So Professor Lawrence simply didn't say a word, looked like he was 'lying flat and laughing', and did not give any explanation of his thoughts.

The two professors didn't hold on to it, they still had a lot of things to do, but that didn't mean they would easily let go of Professor Lawrence's gross mistakes, but now was not the time for infighting.

"The space elevator is about to arrive at the academy, and judging from the trajectory, there is some deviation from the booked landing area, and it should fall on the ......"

Dandy, the researcher below, continued to speak, and then suddenly with a slight smile in his tone, added:

"It just happened to land in the Knowledge Square and hit the head of the statue......"

There were a few schadenfreude chuckles in the lab.

But soon they couldn't laugh anymore......

"Oops! The direction of this storm is shifting! It departed from the trajectory we had previously measured and became...... Straight to the Academy! ”

A researcher exclaimed as he looked at the ever-changing data in front of him.

Then a series of exclamations and wails rang out:

"What?! Why is there an inexplicable deviation? ”

"Oops! If you just pass by the academy, maybe it's fine, but if you log in directly here at the academy, then it's ......."

"How so? So what do we do? The scale of this storm is too exaggerated, with the current defense of the academy, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold on, right? ”

"I'll just say it! I'll say it before! We can't escape! We're all going to die here! I shouldn't have gone back to the academy today! ”
