Chapter 1073: Chapter 9: The Jade Breaks, the Tile Remains Whole_3

No one knows what his true purpose is.

No one knows who he is or how to defeat him either.

From the few experiences Lin Xian had in The Future World, it seems that Copernicus’s shadow looms large everywhere, most likely all other geniuses have lost, with only Copernicus reaping all the rewards.

“Someone who has the power to kill No.2, a person like Copernicus…”

Lin Xian narrowed his eyes:

“Perhaps, that could only be me.”

…

Seeing Lin Xian standing there silently.

Liu Feng walked to the corner of the laboratory, tapped the white mini-fridge on the table:

“I’ve finished reporting about the Space-Time Clock, next is the Entangled State of Time-Space Particle… you better come and take a look.”

Hearing Liu Feng’s words, Lin Xian quickly walked over.

Liu Feng tapped in the password, opened the fridge door, and let Lin Xian see what was inside–

Spin, spin.

The first thing that caught the eye was two Time-Space Particles orbiting each other, twirling in a dance.

Just as Lin Xian had seen them for the first time.

Each was bursting with thread-like lightning, endlessly revolving around the other, internal charged orbs violently colliding against the blue spheres, aggressive.

This was the complete form of the Entangled State of Time-Space Particle, its complete state.

Brimming with energy.

Teeming with life.

“When did it recover like this?”

“It was the moment that burst of Blue Stardust disappeared.”

Liu Feng replied:

“You know, at 02:14, Donghai City was covered with Blue Stardust, and then it disappeared within a few seconds.”

“Then, instantly, the mini-fridge started beeping, I opened it and saw, the Entangled State of Time-Space Particle had regained its energy.”

“Not just visually, before you came, I had tested it with the instruments, the energy of the Entangled State of Time-Space Particle is abnormally intact, not a bit depleted! This is the most complete, the most primitive state of the Time-Space Particle!”

“Of course, it’s inactive, that’s why we can confine it in the mini-fridge, without it jumping around the sky like before when we captured it, and not adhering to any physical laws.”

Lin Xian crouched down.

Moved a bit closer to observe the Entangled State of Time-Space Particle.

Indeed…

Indefatigable, ceaseless spinning, like a binary star system in the universe.

Constant, stable, unchanging across the ages.

So.

What was the reason for the Time-Space Particle’s energy recovery?

Lin Xian shook his head.

Actually, the reason wasn’t important anymore, what mattered was it confirmed a conclusion: Time-Space Particles can indeed be recharged.

And this whole breathtaking series of troubles was caused by the recharging of the Time-Space Particles.

Lin Xian let out a light sigh, patted the mini-fridge:

“This thing, truly is a curse.”

“Hm?”

Liu Feng didn’t understand and looked up:

“This is a treasure! If you say that other ordinary Time-Space Particles aren’t precious, well alright… but this is an Entangled State of Time-Space Particle! Its mere existence is a miracle… and for Jask to have captured it, that’s an even greater miracle!”

“And now, this Entangled State of Time-Space Particle that had lost its energy has recharged, it’s nothing short of a miracle within a miracle! I’ve been excited watching over it all night, how can you call it a curse?”

Lin Xian shook his head.

He said softly:

“Liu Feng… there are things you don’t know. You should understand, the greatest function of Time-Space Particles is to facilitate time travel with a Time Shuttle Machine. This sounds cool, Huang Que also came because of it.”

“But have you considered? If good people can travel through time to reach us, then bad people can also come through time; if someone from the future can come back to help us, then similarly, someone can come back from the future to kill us.”

“Just like in the ‘Terminator’ movies, enemies from the future are often much more formidable than allies from the future. After all, killing someone is much simpler than protecting someone.”

“Otherwise, why do you think… Jask was so unwilling to part with this Entangled State of Time-Space Particle, but ended up destroying it reluctantly? The reason is, Jask knew he couldn’t keep the particle, that it would be stolen by the enemy sooner or later. So, he decided it’s better to be broken jade than to remain intact pottery, and simply flipped the table, letting no one have it.”

“It’s just that, after all the calculations, we missed one step. I really did not expect, as long as it’s not completely destroyed, this thing could still regain energy, to be used again for time travel.”

“This is where the trouble lies; we thought that Time-Space Particles without energy were worthless, at most for research. But now it turns out, ‘corpses’ of Time-Space Particles are just as significant as they are. As long as we have the means to recharge Time-Space Particles, we can nearly use the Entangled State of Time-Space Particle an infinite number of times.”

“Imagine, using the Entangled State of Time-Space Particle countless times, sending terminators from the future back to kill us over and over… even immortals couldn’t withstand that.”

In an instant.

Liu Feng had an epiphany, pacing quickly in the lab with outstretched fingers:

“I get it now, what you’re saying really is a problem.”

“Although in the short term, Time Shuttle Machines can’t be made, and enemies won’t come to steal our Time-Space Particles, but… time in the future is long, who can guarantee that the enemy won’t steal the Entangled State of Time-Space Particles decades or centuries from now?”

“But there’s trouble now!”

Liu Feng spread his hands, looking at Lin Xian:

“How on earth can we completely destroy the Time-Space Particle? If it was before it became inactive, just touching or colliding with it would be enough. Once it becomes invisible, unless someone like Chu Anqing, a Millennium Stakes, can see it, it’s impossible for anyone to capture it.”
