Genius Club-Chapter 573 - 14 Space-Time Clock_3
Space-Time Traveler or Genius Club.
The answer had to be one of these two options, right?
"No matter what."
Lin Xian stepped forward, his palm caressing the scorch marks on the LCD TV screen:
"VV’s last words were not aimless, I must be cautious of Jask."
Afterwards.
Lin Xian quickly gathered himself.
He changed into a set of casual clothes, went downstairs, got into an Alphard business vehicle, and prepared to head to the laboratory at East Sea University to find Liu Feng.
Unraveling the mystery surrounding Jask wasn’t particularly difficult.
Once he received an invitation to the Genius Club and joined, perhaps everything would naturally become clear.
Huang Que had said during their first meeting that getting an invitation to the Genius Club was not difficult for him.
This indicated that in Huang Que’s known history, his joining the Genius Club was perhaps a confirmed fact.
So when would the invitation be given to him?
And where would he collect it?
Lin Xian intuitively... felt it would be soon.
He felt.
He was getting closer and closer to the core of all these mysteries.
Bang.
With a soft noise, the doors of the Alphard business vehicle closed, and Lin Xian reclined in the back seat.
"To East Sea University, Liu Feng’s laboratory."
Lin Xian closed his eyes tiredly and whispered softly,
"I’ll take a nap, wake me up when we arrive."
...
An hour later.
This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.
Inside East Sea University.
Rhein United Laboratory, second floor.
Lin Xian picked up the rectangular silver electronic clock that was still mundane—with digits steady as an old dog, still reading 0.0000000.
This was the [Space-Time Clock] named by Liu Feng.
Built on the theoretical basis of different universes, different space-times, and different Planck constants, used to measure the [space-time curvature] induced by the Space-Time Butterfly Effect during Temporal Flux, that is... the angle of deviation of world lines, a device used to observe the magnitude of temporal flux.
"Are you sure you have calibrated it back to zero this time? Is it truly zero?" Lin Xian asked.
Liu Feng nodded,
"It’s definitely right this time, I assure you!"
He pointed to a rice cooker in a corner of the experiment table, inside which, the hard-earned Space-Time Particle was confined:
"I used that Space-Time Particle as a reference to zero the Space-Time Clock’s reference frame. You see it still shows 0.0000000, but it’s qualitatively different from the previous 0.0000000."
"I won’t bother explaining the complex theory, but essentially, from now on, if the space-time we currently occupy undergoes changes, leading to a deviation in our future trajectory, and if the Space-Time Butterfly Effect induces future temporal changes, leading to a leap to a brand-new future…"
Liu Feng came over, tapping the Space-Time Clock:
"Then the numbers on this Space-Time Clock will definitely change! Believe me this time, Lin Xian, there will be no mistake, the numbers must, will, certainly, and definitely change!"
"And the numbers after the change will be the basis for our further research on cosmic constants. So... now let’s wait and see when the Space-Time Clock will change its numbers, I’ll inform you immediately."
Lin Xian looked down at the Space-Time Clock.
Staring at the seemingly eternal series of eight zeros...
He had watched this string of zeros for so long that he really couldn’t believe that this device could change. Could the numbers actually jump?
If those eight zeros were to suddenly become other numbers one day, Lin Xian would truly feel like witnessing the blooming of an iron tree.
Recalling the last time, when the Second Dreamland changed to the Third Dreamland, the Space-Time Clock didn’t change at all.
That was because it wasn’t calibrated with an external reference from this space-time.
Including later, when the Third Dreamland changed to Fourth Dreamland, and Tem Bank materialized out of nowhere in the Fourth Dreamland, the Space-Time Clock’s numbers didn’t reflect any changes.
But now, this [Space-Time Clock] had been calibrated back to zero.
Waiting for the next Temporal Flux to occur, even up to the transition from Fourth Dreamland to Fifth Dreamland...
The numbers on the Space-Time Clock will definitely change.
Then, the space-time curvature will be tested!
After all.
Although slow.
The push for various matters was somewhat effective.
"Liu Feng."
Lin Xian pointed at the eight zeros on the Space-Time Clock, after the decimal point:
"Why must the space-time curvature always be less than 1, even much less than 1, as a small decimal? Could it never be an integer?"
Liu Feng shook his head:
"It’s not possible, unless it’s world-shattering."
"But in fact, from within the light cone where we are observing, we really aren’t aware of, nor can observe, changes in space-time occurring."
"If the naked eye could see the changes in space-time curvature, the transition of world lines, and the changes in the future... then what would we need the Space-Time Clock for?"
"It’s precisely because these kinds of changes in space-time curvature are unobservable and unconscious that their values are suitably small."
Lin Xian nodded.
That did make sense.
The reason he could observe each temporal change was due to his viewpoint being 600 years in the future.
Without the validation of the Dream World, he really couldn’t be sure when the temporal change would occur.
Just like Keke Cat changing into Rhein Cat, and the grand emergence of Tem Bank’s airship.
These temporal changes, in the current time, were undetectable—only verification in the Dream World 600 years later could reveal when the changes occurred.
This, mathematically speaking from a chaotic system, was also reasonable.
The Space-Time Butterfly Effect over 600 years was enough to transform any minuscule number after the seventh decimal place into a colossal astronomical figure!
This is what people often say, the difference of a thousand miles begins with one step.
A very small angular deviation, as long as the distance traveled is long enough, will eventually lead to a completely different direction.
"Then what do you think... if one day, the numbers on the Space-Time Clock change..."
Lin Xian raised his head, looking at Liu Feng:
"What do you think it will change to?"
