I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature-Chapter 2023 - 1361: Why Didn’t We Notice Before (2)
However, the scientists from the War Hundred Clans who are researching this technology haven’t jumped to any conclusions.
They have studied this research for hundreds of years but are still only at the preliminary phase. Observations are incredibly vague, and they cannot obtain accurate information.
Moreover, the observations are all on past timelines, which don’t hold much significance. After all, these are all past information, and they have complete and detailed records even without observation.
Observing future-related timelines is what they desire, but so far, they haven’t succeeded in observing future timelines.
Now, the soldiers of the War Hundred Clans are locked in past timelines.
Their locked time is fixed exactly at the moment they were locked.
The soldiers’ time is frozen at that lock-in moment, while normal time continues to flow. This means that as time goes on, the lock on these individuals will grow increasingly robust.
Since the locked time is increasingly distant from the present time, people can still see these unfortunates, but they are essentially being buried deeper in the river of time.
If they were discovered within a few minutes of being locked, the War Hundred Clans would have had a chance to rescue them... Given they were entirely prepared at that time.
No preparations? Then, wait ten or eight days, and these people cannot be rescued unless the War Hundred Clans truly master time travel technology, traveling to the moment they were locked to rescue these unfortunates.
Now?
"These are like bombs; the time difference between their locked time and now is too large. Even if there’s a way to forcibly break the lock, the friction caused by the difference between the two time flows will release immense energy."
A scientist from the War Hundred Clans gazes fervently at these immobile unfortunates. He no longer sees them as people.
If these individuals are properly utilized, they are ’infinite energy’; their research on time technology isn’t just for time travel.
More so, they want to acquire more resources and technology through other timelines, these unfortunates have given them a whole new inspiration.
"The question is, can it be done to such an extent?" A neighboring officer frowned and asked, as they have wasted too much time here.
The Qingtian Joint Army has been very cunning. The Tianhe people have infiltrated early and prepared for various scenarios.
After they struck and exploded a Star Destroyer, they immediately relocated and hid here at Tianyun Mountain. Due to a lack of understanding of Thunderstorm Land, they suffered a big loss at first.
Additionally, it was confirmed that there is indeed some kind of ’Great Miracle’ existing on Qingtian Star.
When part of the final combat power was channeled, the star’s exploration level was already raised to level ten.
This level is merely the upper limit of the Exploration Star Map’s exploration level.
On a typical level ten exploration star, a Star Destroyer can explore freely.
But the reaction from Thunderstorm Land on this star... A Star Destroyer can’t handle it.
"Yes, it can! Of course it can as long as we find the cause for their transformation."
"..." The officer remained silent. These scientists’ brains are brilliant, and their ability to spin yarn isn’t lacking either. How can scientists without the skill of promising visions secure funding?
No matter the progress of the research, first sketch the vision and bring in the research funding.
Now these people are confidently speaking merely to get him to invest more resources in exploring Tianyun Mountain!
"We have already investigated this matter." The officer’s assistant promptly said, "We contacted the front line and obtained all their identity information..."
The assistant detailed the discovered intelligence. Once these individuals’ identity information was confirmed, they naturally knew which warship they served on.
Coincidentally, their warship is precisely the advanced battleship acquired by Xiyun.
Previously, the army recruited on Qingtian Star also obtained initial information on this warship. The advanced battleship initially fell into Thunderstorm Land at Tianyun Mountain.
Later, it was acquired by Xiyun who entered Thunderstorm Land. At that time, although the advanced battleship was in a damaged state, according to intelligence analysis, many devices including the internal smart brain were intact.
Otherwise, this advanced battleship couldn’t use other materials for self-repair.
Xiyun took the advanced battleship away, but the enlisted crew inside was time-locked in this place, which clearly indicates the cause of their situation.
There is some kind of time-related strength within Thunderstorm Land!
As for the reset of the Hundred Clans Agreement and the smart brain’s permissions on that advanced battleship, it’s likely related to this time strength.
The time strength affected the smart brain, resetting its permissions and Hundred Clans Agreement to a state before completion, removing all restrictions.
"Why wasn’t this star given attention before?" A scientist studied the information with a slight scowl, appearing very displeased.
If only they had known of such a star, they could have been researching here for centuries, making Tianhe their development area by now.
"..." The officer’s assistant remained silent, as the question was hindsight. From Tianhe’s thawing up to now, Qingtian Star never leaked significant uniqueness.
Even if there is a Thunderstorm Land here, other stars have much more special places compared to Thunderstorm Land.
Before the incidents occurred, it really didn’t seem so special. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
The world has countless life-supporting stars, and without prior knowledge, who would fixate on this?
"It’s not too late now." Another scientist said, though they are not all from one clan. Despite working together, there are frequent small conflicts.
"...No, it’s already somewhat late. The front line has collapsed, and my final combat power is responding to the front line; those Tianhe people have attacked."
After a moment of silence, the officer relayed this message to the scientists. There was no need to continue concealing this information now.
Since it won’t be long before anyone can witness the War Hundred Clans and Tianhe pursuit troops waging war.
"Their technology has advanced too swiftly, what was the Old Era like..." A scientist remarked with a hint of emotion.
Though they consider the Tianhe people of the Old Era to be an obsolete bunch, realistically that’s somewhat stubborn talk.
They managed to survive from the destruction of the Old Era to the New World, so how could they have done so without some skill? Even if it’s thanks to the Tianhe Pioneers, it doesn’t mean Tianhe people have no capability.
"Once we acquire Tianhe, all can be understood. Those Old Era castaways, compared to us, they only have more accumulation!"
"You’re too arrogant!" Another scientist was dissatisfied with the colleague’s attitude: "The New World repels the Tianhe people, yet in less than three hundred years, they’ve already adapted to the world’s environment! If Tianhe was never frozen, would there still be a Hundred Clans?"
This rendered other scientists unable to rebut, for if the Tianhe people had not been frozen over two hundred years ago, even without the pressure from war, they could gradually develop the technology to adapt to the New World.
Whether there are so-called Hundred Clans is indeed at their discretion; otherwise, why would the War Hundred Clans consistently view Tianhe people as the greatest threat, even willing to abandon conflicts among the Hundred Clans to unite?
"Enough quarreling. For the study of these people, we will pour in greater resources, but you must also yield corresponding results in a short time." Seeing the conversation straying further, the officer very straightforwardly interrupted the scientists.
Now is not the time for historical arguments. The Tianhe pursuers are almost here. Despite final combat power being nearby, the War Hundred Clans are not inclined to have the decisive battle area settled near Qingtian Star.
Not to mention there are Tianhe people they wish to capture here, and the special characteristic of this star makes them reluctant to designate the battlefield here.
It’s fine if Tianhe people on Qingtian Star escape, but what if the star is destroyed due to the war’s impact?
