Chapter 365: Old Luo's Last Card

Hearing this, Qian Bowen froze.

The line of thought is wrong?

How could this be possible?

The entire project plan was formulated by gathering tens of thousands of top physicists from the Yanhuang Civilization, taking several years to complete.

Every link has undergone the most rigorous verification.

How could it have been wrong from the very beginning?

"Xiao Yin, I know you want to help, but this is no child's play."

Qian Bowen's tone grew somewhat solemn: "The New Generation Black Hole Engine Project concerns the future of the entire civilization; it cannot be taken for granted."

"I haven't taken it for granted," Qian Yin said, her tone still calm.

"Grandfather, have you forgotten the manuscripts Qin Hao left behind before he departed?"

Qin Hao's manuscripts?

Qian Bowen's mind gave a sudden "buzz."

He remembered.

Before leaving, Qin Hao indeed left behind a portion of his own understanding and deductions regarding dimensions, energy, and cosmic laws.

Those manuscripts contain extremely profound content, filled with various daring conjectures that surpass the era and unimaginable mathematical models.

Most of the content, given the Yanhuang Civilization's current technological level, cannot be understood at all, let alone verified.

Therefore, these manuscripts have remained sealed in the highest-level database, with only a very few people granted access.

Qian Bowen also glanced at part of them, but soon gave up because he could not comprehend them.

"Those manuscripts... are they related to the black hole engine?"

Qian Bowen's voice sounded somewhat hoarse.

"They are."

Qian Yin's reply was firm: "I have recently been studying his theories on 'dimensional curvature' and 'information entropy.'

I have found that his line of thought is completely different from all of our existing physical theories."

"He believes that gravity is not one of the four fundamental forces, but rather the 'spacetime wrinkle' effect produced by the projection of higher-dimensional space onto our three-dimensional universe."

"And a black hole is not some singularity; it is an information black box formed after a 'dimensional collapse,' a 'singularity' that connects to higher-dimensional space."

Qian Bowen listened, feeling lost in a haze.

These theories are too far ahead, completely beyond his cognitive scope.

"This... this, what does it have to do with our binding force field?"

"It is very much related."

Qian Yin's voice began to grow somewhat excited: "We have always tried to use 'force' to oppose 'force',

using our force field to counteract the black hole's gravity. That is why we have hit a bottleneck."

"But according to Qin Hao's theory, we fundamentally do not need to oppose it."

"We only need to... 'deceive' it."

"\"Deceive? \" Qian Bowen became even more bewildered."

"\"Yes, deceive. \""

Qian Yin explained, "Since a black hole is an information black box, its response to the outside world depends on the 'information' it receives.

If we can alter the 'dimensional information' carried by the injected energy, making the black hole perceive that energy as harmless or even beneficial to it,

then the pressure that the binding force field must withstand will drop by many orders of magnitude!"

"We are not 'opposing' gravity, but 'guiding' gravity!"

At that moment, Qian Bowen's brain felt as if struck by a bolt of lightning.

Guiding gravity!

This idea is too crazy! Too subversive!

But for some reason, a strong intuition surged in his heart.

Perhaps... this is the correct path!

"Raise the access rights to Qin Hao's manuscripts to the highest level and send them to my terminal immediately!"

Qian Bowen nearly shouted at the assistant beside him.

"Also, let Xiao Yin come to the experimental site at once!"

"No, I'll go fetch her myself!"

……

Half an hour later.

In a conference room of the research institute.

Qian Bowen and a group of top physicists surrounded Qian Yin, like a bunch of elementary school students, listening to her explain Qin Hao's astonishing theory.

At first, everyone's faces were filled with doubt and incomprehension.

As Qian Yin's explanation grew more detailed, she matched Qin Hao's manuscript models to the practical problems they had encountered, one by one.

Everyone's expressions shifted from doubt to shock.

From shock to ecstatic joy.

"So that's how it is... so that's how it is!"

An academician slapped his thigh excitedly, "We've all gone down a rabbit hole! Gravity is not a force; it is an intrinsic property of spacetime itself! How could we not have thought of that!"

"Altering dimensional information... genius! This is nothing short of a stroke of genius!"

"Hurry! Immediately rebuild the data model! Using Qin Hao's theory as the core, redo the deduction!"

The whole conference room boiled over in an instant.

In everyone's eyes, the flame of hope reignited.

Qian Bowen watched his granddaughter, surrounded by the crowd at the center, calmly answering various questions, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

There was relief, there was pride, but more than anything… a sense of release.

He understood.

Those who can keep pace with Qin Hao have never been these rule‑following scientists.

It is people like his granddaughter, who also possess a boundless imagination and extraordinary insight… a genius.

At that moment, Luo Lao's holographic projection silently appeared beside Qian Bowen.

"How is it?"

Luo Lao's voice was calm.

"Solved," Qian Bowen said sincerely, looking at Luo Lao. "Your move was spot on."

He only now realized.

Having Qian Yin come to the institute was no coincidence at all.

It was something Luo Lao had arranged long ago.

Luo Lao smiled, his gaze landing on Qian Yin a short distance away, his eyes gentle and gratified.

"She is not merely a card for solving technical problems,"

Luo Lao's voice was audible only to Qian Bowen.

"She is also our… final card, the one that can pull Xiao Qin back to the mortal world,"

A shock ran through Qian Bowen's heart, and he instantly grasped Luo Lao's deeper intention.

He looked at his granddaughter, and recalled that increasingly cold and aloof figure, his heart a tangle of emotions.

"I understand!"

"Hmm."

Luo Lao nodded, "The next‑generation black hole engine project shall be led by her. All you need to do is provide her with comprehensive support."

"Alright!"

Luo Lao's figure slowly faded away.

Qian Bowen stepped forward and patted Qian Yin's shoulder.

"Xiao Yin, from now on, the black hole engine project is entirely under your charge,"

Qian Yin was startled for a moment, then gave a firm nod.

This is not merely to overcome a technical hurdle.

It is also to… get one step closer to that person's world.

Milky Way Galaxy, inside a massive black hole somewhere.

Here is Qin Hao's charging ground.

Qin Hao sat cross‑legged, eyes tightly shut.

His body had completely dematerialized, merging with the surrounding background.

He had maintained this posture for a long time.

Since announcing the "Great Silence," he has entered this deep energy‑absorption and seclusion state.

All the external turmoil seemed unrelated to him.

Yet his consciousness was more active than ever before.

In his mental realm, a corpse of unimaginable size floated silently.

It was the wreckage of the Devourer Sub-body he had slain with his own hand.

However, this corpse was not physical; it was composed of the purest data and information streams.
