Rhein’s second laboratory will eventually become the fulcrum that changes the world, rewriting the future.
After handling these matters,
Lin Xian prepared to leave.
“See you in Donghai City.”
He waved to Nangong Mengjie, walked out of the secret laboratory, through the corridor, and made his way outside the building.
But then—
Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding!!
His phone exploded with a barrage of messages like fireworks.
...
Upon checking, they were indeed missed calls from Liu Feng, along with WeChat message notifications.
He hurriedly returned Liu Feng’s call:
“Hello…” “Why is it that every time, precisely when it’s crucial, I can’t reach you?!”
Lin Xian barely began his greeting when Liu Feng’s roaring voice almost pierced his eardrums.
“Ah, I’m over at Dragon Science Academy, it wasn’t intentional.”
Lin Xian dug at his ear, explaining:
“In this secret lab, the mobile signal is blocked, so of course I couldn’t answer the phone.
Tell me, what happened?”
“Big trouble!”
Liu Feng yelled out:
“[The Space-Time Clock’s value has changed!]”
Lin Xian stood still.
Regaining his bearings…
He looked back at the experimental building he had just exited.
It seemed…
Just now…
An irrevocable anchor point had formed.
So, the Space-Time Butterfly Effect occurred, the curvature of space-time changed, the world line shifted abruptly, and thus…
The Future World had undergone an earth-shattering transformation.
“How much.”
Lin Xian asked softly.
This question was critical.
He and Liu Feng would deduce the law of Space-Time Coordinates from the second change in the Space-Time Clock’s value…
the answer to the first question for the Genius Club!
“Lin Xian, you guessed right.”
Across the phone, Liu Feng swallowed and slowly said:
“Just over twenty minutes ago, the Space-Time Clock’s value became—”
“0.0000084!”
…
Jet engines roared as their turbines spun wildly, and an Airbus took off from the Imperial Capital Airport, heading southwest toward Donghai City.
Lin Xian alighted at Hongqiao Airport, got into the waiting Alfa Romeo car, and asked driver Xiao Li to head directly to Donghai University’s first Rhein laboratory.
Entering the campus.
Parking.
Exiting the car.
He jogged to the second-floor laboratory.
Lin Xian strode forward, picked up the white rectangular device from the center of the experimental platform—the Space-Time Clock—and looked at its value:
0.0000084
“As expected.”
Lin Xian narrowed his eyes and stated the conclusion he had deduced on the flight:
“[The breaking point limit of Space-Time Elasticity is 0.0000042; only after accumulated changes break through Space-Time Elasticity will the curvature of space-time change, and the smallest increment is indeed 0.0000042.]”
The Space-Time Clock had already undergone changes twice,
Once, it went from 0.0000000 to 0.0000042;
Another time, from 0.0000042 to 0.0000084.
This was no coincidence.
This was the rule!
The quantified regularity of the Space-time Law!
Before, Lin Xian had caused many minor Temporal Fluxes, such as changing the font on a safe’s nameplate to Microsoft YaHei.
Indeed, those were real instances of Temporal Fluxes, and they had been verified.
However, the Space-Time Clock couldn’t detect them.
No.
Strictly speaking, it wasn’t that it couldn’t detect them, but the curvature of space-time didn’t actually change!
Neither the curvature of space-time, the world line shift, nor the drastic changes in The Future World were that sensitive.
Just as he had initially conjectured.
Space-time is inherently inertial, elastic, and restorative.
So minor Temporal Fluxes were insufficient to break through Space-Time Elasticity and, therefore, couldn’t cause world line shifts.
Then what was the threshold to break through Space-Time Elasticity?
It was a precise value, unit unknown—
0.0000042
“That’s right, Lin Xian, that’s what I think too.”
Liu Feng paced quickly in the laboratory:
“Space-Time Elasticity is 0.0000042!
Even if we don’t know its exact unit or meaning…
the fact is as such, mathematics itself is a subject that first summarizes phenomena and then contemplates the rules.”
“Whether it’s the varying degrees of the Space-Time Clock, the minimum value of space-time curvature change, or the shortest distance of world line shift…
they’re all 0.0000042!”
“To make the curvature of space-time change or the world line shift, there are, guessing now, only two ways—”
“1, continuously create minor Temporal Fluxes, gradually accumulating unobservable space-time curvature, until it finally adds up to 0.0000042, breaking the Space-Time Elasticity…
At that moment, the world line will leap to another track just like a sprung frog, and The Future World will simultaneously change accordingly!”
“2, create a substantial Space-Time Butterfly Effect in one instance, directly breaking through Space-Time Elasticity, forcing the world line to shift and changing the future trajectory, turning The Future World upside down!”
“I guess that if the force used is large enough, the value change in space-time curvature will also increase, such as becoming 0.0000252, 0.0000294, or even a huge jump to 42.0000000!”
“But, these values must follow a strict rule—”
“[They must be multiples of 0.0000042!]”
…
On this conclusion,
Lin Xian and Liu Feng’s conjectures were completely aligned, so there was no need to continue discussing it.
What was next,
was to summarize the rule of Space-Time Coordinates.
“Liu Feng, back to that old question.”
This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.
Lin Xian put down the Space-Time Clock and looked at Liu Feng:
“Do you think 0.0000042 counts as a Space-Time Coordinate?”
“It does.” Liu Feng nodded.
“0.0000084, 0.0000126, 0.0000168…
do they all represent a Space-Time Coordinate?”
“That’s correct.”
Liu Feng nodded again:
“But these coordinates are all relative to the zero point of our Space-Time Clock; they don’t have general applicability.”
“For example, if we had just calibrated the Space-Time Clock a few days ago, then the value on the Space-Time Clock would have been 0.0000000 before today, and this morning, it would become 0.0000042.”
