Chapter 706: Something big happened

The fusion progress of Ship Life and the Alliance's bio-warships is going very smoothly.

After about a year, this project will be about done.

Yuan said so, while Zhang Jie was somewhat surprised.

"About a year? Why so long?"

Yuan rolled his eyes at him.

"You think you're someone? Normally our research projects, five or ten years is considered good."

Moreover, the two technological focuses are different, making their combination even more difficult.

Zhang Jie fiddled with the equipment not far away, awkwardly nodding.

"That's true."

Yuan looked at Zhang Jie, suddenly leaned over, and stared at him strangely.

"Little guy, I feel like your demeanor is a bit different."

"Different?"

Zhang Jie froze for a moment, let out a helpless laugh, and could only say he had to admire Yuan's perceptiveness.

The observer's memories have not yet returned; if they did, I don't know if they would again cause him to faint.

"Yeah, it's become... uh... more of a story-like feeling."

Yuan pondered for a while, and eventually said this comment, which was quite fair and apt.

Zhang Jie fell silent for a moment, then suddenly asked.

"Teacher Yuan, do you think parallel worlds exist?"

"That is, two different worlds resulting from two different choices at a certain time point."

"Parallel worlds?"

Yuan pointed his finger at his lips, thought for a moment, and gave a negative answer.

"I think not."

"According to my understanding, the parallel worlds you envision are merely a hypothesis about time."

"Actually, based on my early research, there indeed exist multiple universes, unrelated to so-called temporal nodes."

"Each of them is an independent entity."

Zhang Jie stroked his chin, thoughtful; indeed, if each person had countless timelines, it would truly be chaotic.

He leans more toward it being a special phenomenon brought about by high-dimensional energy and the simulator's power.

If it weren't for the accidental draw of the "lonely soul of the time rift," this simulation would surely have ended in tragedy.

Because that world is a bit too desperate, isn't it? The outside world was completely swallowed by the Insect Tide, and his race couldn't even be considered truly normal.

They are all contaminated products; even the AI legacy left by a previous advanced civilization was contaminated, forcing them to reluctantly apply a beautification patch.

If it weren't for myself as the observer constantly changing everything, I would never find a way out even if I struggled to death inside.

"That's right."

Zhang Jie nodded in agreement.

Those parallel worlds born from divergent choices are fundamentally false propositions.

Myriad universes exist independently, having no relation to human choices or temporal branches; they are solitary entities.

"However, Teacher Yuan, have you contacted the guy named Yunxiao I introduced you to before?"

"Oh, that girl, she has an AI queen as a companion, right?"

"I remember, her nanotech is strong; we've been exchanging academia recently."

"She should be coming to see you soon, saying it's for technical exchange with the Alliance."

Zhang Jie:????

"What the heck? Yunxiao is coming?"

"Old Lin Ran would surely explode on the spot! Her relationship with Yunxiao can be described as being in dire straits."

"Teacher Yuan!!!"

Blue Sapphire emerged from behind Zhang Jie, calling out sweetly.

A kitten-like cry directly melted Yuan's heart; she walked over and scooped up Blue Sapphire in one embrace, tiny and irresistibly cute.

As the creator of Ship Life, this adorable creature, Yuan has no resistance to Blue Sapphire, another adorable creature.

"This little thing is really great!"

"Keep me company for a while doing an experiment, okay?"

Yuan held Blue Sapphire, rubbing her face while looking at Zhang Jie, giving off the air of "why aren't you leaving yet?"

Zhang Jie:....

"Alright, you're busy; I'll go check elsewhere."

Zhang Jie resignedly turned and left under Blue Sapphire's gaze that seemed to say, "How could you just abandon me like this!"

The Alliance Research Institute is now busy to the point of flying; this time we don't know if we can obtain the so-called high-dimensional energy, but if we do, the Alliance's big shots will surely suffer again.

However, saying this now is still too early; well....

"

Cough.... For now there's no hope of seeing Qi Yu and Lei Na come to reality.

Zhang Jie prowled the research institute like a lion patrolling its territory, making a round; martial bio research normal, nano-mecha development normal, extraterrestrial entity research also normal, bio research... Yuan was there, Old Zhang didn't dare go.

"Mm, not bad, not bad."

Zhang Jie satisfiedly nodded; next up was to find Lin Ran to discuss the future situation.

Xiao Jiu and Qiong went out to play; Zhang Jie lost his precious little warship, with no choice, Zhang Jie could only randomly pull a luckless Ship Life from the Alliance to have it guide him to find Lin Ran.

Cough, although one could also go there by piloting a mecha, Zhang Jie is lazy, so taking a boat is still the most comfortable.

In reality, it's much more comfortable than in the simulation, but, to be honest, does he really have nothing to worry about now?

Zhang Jie sat up from the chair, began to seriously think about this problem, and at that moment, Weiniya's message came again.

Weizhen Tian: Teacher, it's not good!!! Something big has happened!!

Weizhen Tian: There's something dirty inside those old civilization ruins!

Weizhen Tian: The Knight's leader has already been seriously injured! Hurry up and come, teacher!!!

Weiniya: No, that's wrong! Don't come!!!
