Chapter 607 Waiting and Hoping
Time is in a cycle.
Once, and again.
Forty-five days is a limit. When the pointer passes midnight, everything will start again after Yuri's army takes over the base. Professor Siegfried and his team of scientists are conducting their own research again and again.
But what is different from before is that the day after Professor Siegfried decided to form the "European Alliance", they will receive the research results rescued from the front line by a mysterious man who calls himself "Xiao". Although the source of this information is mysterious, it is extremely valuable. From a high-level perspective, it provides them with valuable knowledge and ideas, helping them to gain a foothold in this war between science and time, and even possible to find the key to subverting the status quo.
The research reports and data given by "Xiao" have become the new Bible of scientists. The detailed content and useful information provide them with unprecedented research directions and inspiration. They are not just a pile of data and words, but more like a guiding light, allowing scientists to find their way in a fog.
The scientists led by Professor Siegfried were delighted that they left a spark of hope for the coalition forces. They deeply felt that this was not only a job, but also a glorious mission. If they could push the research of the time machine to a new height, it would be possible to change the status quo, reverse the defeat of the coalition forces, and even end Yuri's rule. So, they invested unprecedented enthusiasm and energy, working day and night.
This collective enthusiasm and effort made the atmosphere in the base extremely tense but full of hope. Every scientist knew that their work far exceeded personal glory and achievement, and they were fighting for the freedom of all mankind. Driven by such a common belief, they might really be able to create miracles and find the key to changing the future.
... Just like a group of donkeys looking at the carrot hanging on their heads, which motivated them to move forward.
What the scientists didn't know was that the environment they were in was originally a huge breeding farm. There were no rescued research results, and there was no final resistance force. Everything was just the results obtained by the scientists of the "European Alliance" themselves.
Whenever the forty-five-day countdown reaches zero, "Xiao" will take away their research results, quietly turn the pointer back to the starting point, and then at the starting point, give them the conclusions drawn by the scientists as "rescued research results" and hand them over intact.
—— She didn't even bother to hide her own name.
The end of the last reincarnation is the starting point of the next reincarnation.
The end of the next reincarnation is the starting point of the next reincarnation.
Technology is iterating, and time is repeatedly recursive. Every time the time is reset, scientists do not start from scratch, but stand on the basis of their last research, just like standing on the shoulders of giants, each time they can see further and think deeper.
Successful experiments are inherited, and failed results are discarded. In this cycle of time, you can always get a glimpse of the right path, and then continue to move the research forward. This process is like a game that allows countless retries. They can keep reloading and restarting, and each time they are closer to the optimal solution. The only difference is that they are the toys in this game, and they are the most talented scientists in the Soviet Union.
As the cycle of time continues to change, it is inevitable that some scientists can't keep up with this high-intensity thinking iteration. Because they have lost their memories in the time cycle, they can't fully understand the increasingly complex data and research results.
They need time to learn, even if they are the ones who come to the conclusion.
When the second 45-day cycle ended, some scientists began to find that they could not understand the complex data and research results that had undergone multiple iterations. In this case, they began to fall behind and could not keep up with the research pace of the team.
When the sixth cycle began, more than two-thirds of the people fell behind.
When the eighth cycle began, there were only three people left in the team of hundreds of scientists.
When the ninth cycle began, only Professor Siegfried himself and Yunru could understand those research reports that were like heavenly books after a period of study.
...
"The cycle of time has its limits after all."
This is a sentence that suddenly popped up when Professor Siegfried was conducting research with Yunru. The scholar said a groundbreaking statement in a casual tone: "Unfortunately, it seems that even I can only stop here."
"Oh."
But all he got was a simple response from Yunru. She knew very early that Professor Siegfried had discovered that time was cycling in the third time cycle, because even if technology was iterated again, her own ideas would eventually be traceable. Therefore, she had already secretly communicated with the founder of the "European Alliance" and exchanged some relevant information.
But what's the use?
In this constantly cycling world, Yunru is the only one in the scientist team who retains past memories, and she also knows that the reason she can retain her memories is the square trioctahedron given to her by Commander Neos.
This experience is like being trapped in an endless dream, clearly feeling everything that happened, but unable to change the direction of the dream... The only thing that has changed is that Yunru's youth and childishness seem to be endless here. Gradually disappearing in reincarnation, he was forced to grow into a mature individual beyond his age.
The river of time always washes her back to the eternal starting point, and the only thing that will not change is her memory.
"Don't be like this, Yunru. I can foresee that when this technology is completed, it will be the end of everything."
Listening to Yunru's answer, Siegfried smiled helplessly. He recorded a series of numbers in the report, and then sighed: "No matter what, they always need a scientist to maintain this for them." A set of technology... After all, when it is put into use, there will still be a lot of corresponding problems. "
"But they will only keep the most suitable person, Professor." Yun Ru replied flatly: "And as the person who created this technology, you will definitely be the only candidate."
"No, that person is you, Yunru."
The sudden words made Yunru, whose emotions had disappeared from her body, raise her head in surprise. What she met was Professor Siegfried's encouraging smile.
"But I..."
Yunru has a lot to say.
——She once thought that she was the most special one, the destined savior.
——She once thought that she held the clues of time and could guide the world to a different future.
But in fact, every time she tried, she was told mercilessly that she couldn't change anything. The world is like a set stage play, and she is in a seemingly endless cycle, experiencing the same events over and over again, trying to find a way out. But no matter how hard she tried, the ending was already scripted.
So, she lowered her head: "I'm just a coward who can't do anything...that's all."
"Being able to survive countless time loops is your talent in itself. Yunru, you are different from us old guys who have been restricted from the future."
Professor Siegfried smiled and said: "You are the one chosen by Commander Neos, but I am not... It turns out that Commander did not choose the wrong person. This may also be a fateful choice. "
"Trust Commander Neos's judgment, wait for the opportunity to resist, and wait for the opportunity to win."
When Yunru was stunned, Siegfried's palm had already been placed on her shoulder, and those warm words reached her heart.
“Wait and hope.”
Happy Christmas Eve, above.
