The Pioneers at the border used this as a center to establish the current interstellar network in the border star systems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is often a difference in the way people think, even within the same camp:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>IMC wants to crush the resistance forces for the resources of the border star systems. Blowing up a planet doesn’t seem to fit their strategic needs, nor is it very... humane?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the person on the podium firmly said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By decisively eliminating the rebel forces, we will uphold the survival of humanity, paving the way for a more prosperous and bright future for mankind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?

He was a Titan pilot, and when there was a need to understand technology, he would only listen during mission assignments or when enhancing mission objectives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this mission was not originally assigned to him; he just took it over halfway from a former Titan pilot...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you mean... in another time, in the past... you have fought against them?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BT, is that possible?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[BT7274: In the months leading up to Operation Broadsword, the resistance had already destroyed 29 such facilities.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[BT7274: There is no record of such phenomena in the database, but considering that this facility does not belong to any known type of the resistance, perhaps anything is possible.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack thought for a moment: \"That is to say, we might randomly transmit to a research facility filled with IMC soldiers and mercenaries during the exploration... we need to be careful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must be said that Jack is indeed a very focused Titan pilot: faced with such a miraculous situation, the first thing he thought of was what problems the mission would face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille thought much more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place presents a very classic time paradox and loop, which is also shown in the original:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colonel Anderson infiltrated the facility and fought with the IMC soldiers on-site, finally risking his life to detonate the Holy Chest, which triggered the big explosion and alerted the resistance to the problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his infiltration exposure seems to have been caused after Lille and Jack arrived at the facility, traveling from present to past before it happened—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the first time distortion, Lille’s Destruction Shell robots lost contact, which led to two being instantly destroyed by IMC.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But during this second time distortion, Lille was already in contact with the Cybertron research team, and his communication was stable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The combat records of the Destruction robots show that the moment they were killed was actually when the battle started; if the Destruction robots hadn’t appeared in the past research facility to trigger the security protocols, Colonel Anderson might never have been discovered!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two events are causally related, and from the perspective of humans in this universe, or from a normal \"time flow\" perspective, it’s utterly incomprehensible what happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if there is a research team outside of the universe observing without regard for the order of \"events\" unfolding, it won’t be confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the eyes of the Cybertron research team, this is still just a time-space fissure, and Lille’s communication with them has remained unimpeded, providing them with never-before-seen energy wave characteristics—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ironhide: Hmm... the energy wave you’ve transmitted back is very rare, but we need more detailed information to correct the model...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ironhide: To add, the research is progressing very smoothly, Optimus Prime has already started activating the Energy Pillar using the Leader Module.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of the technology Lille was familiar with could only be used to observe conventional information in this dimension: light, vibration, temperature...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the measurement and monitoring of this information, the Destruction Shell Type III that came out of IMC’s manufacturing plant were absolutely top-notch, but clearly, time distortion requires specialized time distortion equipment for observation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here also—Colonel Anderson came prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two walked out of the first building, entering the research facility interior. BT had already reached the road inside the facility. Other Destruction Shell robots stood along the road, some half-kneeling on the ground, sparking from their bodies, apparently heavily damaged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, not only Lille’s robots were attacked; the ground was filled with the corpses of IMC soldiers, and the wreckage of a fighter aircraft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first time this teleportation phenomenon happened was a surprise to Lille, but following ones took IMC by surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BT’s large eyes scanned them: \"It looks like you were subjected to very intense attacks on the other side, I might need to pay special attention to recording this phenomenon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, it lifted one of the corpses on the ground: \"These remains don’t match Colonel Anderson’s personal files at all; he might still be alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I suggest you check the reception hall. I will act together with you, but unfortunately, my body can’t go through such a door.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Johnny: This twisted robot is playing with corpses...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Johnny appeared on BT’s shoulder, looking at the corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille and Jack stepped into the reception hall, where IMC once received investors and politicians from across the universe to demonstrate such weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once inside, Jack saw his target:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colonel Anderson’s corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack said with a complex expression: \"It seems we found Colonel Anderson... but the result isn’t very good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Lille also knew that he had found what he was looking for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colonel Anderson had all the equipment needed for his mission on him, and as a reconnaissance soldier, of course, he had the equipment used to observe the unique energy burst from the Holy Chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s what he was looking for.\u003C\u002Fp>",1251,"2026-06-03T12:33:36.383Z","2026-06-03T12:33:42.158Z",1,"novelbin.me","b71de9e65773e57eaf9897b0cb6aed660a5567e92b0866ac867bdb2c18851767","cyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-chapter-805","cyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-chapter-803",1068,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-cover.jpg"]
