Chapter 199
Seeing the few nod, Lin Qi spoke again.
"The foundation of the Synesthesia Dreamscape is countless Memetic Substances, and Memetic Substances are inseparable from the Aeon of Memory."
"Through the dreamscape, I discovered that Miss March 7th resonates with Memetic Substances."
"Perhaps Miss March 7th hasn't noticed it herself and cannot feel anything abnormal, but please trust my judgment; I am absolutely certain about this."
"Therefore, Miss March 7th, if nothing else, is definitely related to memory."
"As for the Aeon..."
Lin Qi paused for a moment and continued.
"Just take it as me talking nonsense; no need to pay too much attention."
In reality, Lin Qi was quite confident, but it was difficult to say so explicitly.
Because the basis for his judgment was that he could not see through March 7th's past; she seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist, making it difficult to see clearly.
Even Lin Qi could only see a vague shadow and could not truly obtain useful information.
This was the reason why Lin Qi was truly surprised.
He was not who he used to be.
For ordinary Emanators, he would say they posed no threat at all.
There was only one possibility for something that even he could not see through.
That is, it involves an Aeon!
Considering March 7th's Six-Phased Ice and her resonance with Memetic Substances, Lin Qi believed she was highly likely related to the Aeon of Memory.
As for Enigmata and The Finality...
There was actually not much evidence.
It was mostly speculation.
However, this was enough to show that March 7th's origin was mysterious.
For a moment.
Lin Qi became even more interested in the Astral Express crew.
One could only say they were worthy of being the "protagonist group," each hiding secrets.
"Then what about my background? Besides being related to an Aeon, did you not see anything else?" March 7th asked persistently.
"I did, but there is no need to say it," Lin Qi explained, "Because I cannot be one hundred percent sure right now that you are related to memory, the images I saw cannot serve as a basis for guessing your background. To prevent you from being misled, I think it is better not to say."
"Alright."
March 7th was slightly disappointed.
But just at this moment.
Lin Qi added, "But it's not impossible to verify the conclusion; it mainly depends on whether you dare to take the risk."
"What risk?" March 7th asked, puzzled.
"An experiment."
Lin Qi said slowly, "I am thinking, Miss March 7th, since you are related to memory, if I invest enough resources in you to build a super-large virtual world and construct collective memories, could I catch a glimpse of the shadow of the Aeon behind you?"
"Uh..."
March 7th's brain short-circuited a little.
She didn't even quite understand what Lin Qi was saying.
More importantly, she didn't know what "risk" Lin Qi was talking about.
Fortunately, Himeko asked for her.
"Then for little March, what are the risks?"
"The risk is that it is uncontrollable; she might fall into a coma because she cannot bear too many collective memories, or be sealed again by the uncontrollable Six-Phased Ice."
"Of course, there might also be benefits."
"For example... Miss March 7th might become an Emanator of Memory? Or perhaps she was an Emanator of Memory all along?"
Lin Qi said slowly.
These words caused the conference hall to fall into silence.
There was no helping it.
The amount of information was simply too large.
One couldn't help but need a moment to process it.
Especially March 7th; at this moment, she didn't know what to do.
Is it true or false?
Am I an Emanator of Memory?
For a time.
The atmosphere in the conference hall was somewhat oppressive.
But it had to be the Stellaron vessel; she could always break the dullness.
Stelle looked at March 7th and spoke first, "When you become an Emanator, don't forget to take me along, Lady March 7th."
"Go to hell! I'll definitely freeze myself first when that time comes!" March 7th said irritably.
However, after such a digression, the atmosphere was not so dull anymore.
March 7th thought for a moment and gathered her courage to reply.
"Doctor, I've made up my mind! I've decided to take the risk! After all, one cannot know nothing about their own past!"
Lin Qi chuckled, "No need to rush to agree; you can think about it carefully. Because even if you want to start the experiment now, I can't start immediately. Do you know how many resources are needed to prepare a super-large virtual world? Wait for it; when there is redundant computing power one day, and you still have this idea, come find me again."
For Lin Qi.
The secrets on March 7th were indeed worth exploring.
But not to the extent that he would put down his current projects to study them.
That is, shutting down the Simulated Universe and the other world to focus on studying March 7th.
However, once the Thousand-Year Star construction reaches a certain level, the computing power should be enough.
Lin Qi estimated that it didn't need to be completely finished.
It would probably be enough once the second stage is completed.
"Alright then, I hope I won't back down when the time comes."
March 7th said helplessly.
Afterwards, Lin Qi gave Himeko some small gadgets as a reward for their mission of delivering the "stars."
Then, this meeting regarding the Astral Express concluded.
It could be said that everyone gained something.
It was just that the state of the four when they left was completely opposite to when they arrived.
Seele and Stelle's expressions were no longer serious.
Instead, they were very happy.
Himeko was looking forward to the date in the evening.
Only March 7th was full of worries.
However, this could only wait for her to adjust herself; the comfort of others could only serve as a temporary fix, not a permanent cure.
Fortunately, March 7th adjusted quickly, or rather, she had long since adapted.
But if one really had to say.
Before coming, she really hadn't expected this situation.
It was more uncomfortable than gaining nothing.
On the other side.
Lin Qi made another note in his task log.
After returning this time, there were too many things to handle, especially regarding experiments.
He had to prioritize them to ensure order and urgency.
For example.
Seele's mech didn't need much time to modify, so it could be placed at the front.
The experiments for the Stellaron Hunters' group couldn't be placed too far back either.
