Chapter 1293: My Home's That One

"What kind of technique is this?" The bullets instantly lost kinetic energy and came to a complete stop; whether it was the police station or the audience witnessing this scene, everyone's jaw dropped.

"His energy shield must have a limit—it can't stay active forever. Fire! Keep firing!"

The police leadership immediately issued the order; this was not his decision alone, and the quantum computer also gave the same calculation result.

According to the quantum computer's calculation, the probability that Lu Yang's surrounding energy barrier cannot be maintained long-term is ninety-five percent; the more solidified bullets there are, the shorter the maintenance time.

As soon as the police leadership gave the order, they immediately received instructions from above: "There is an order from above: keep him alive!"

"What?"

Higher-level leadership noticed Lu Yang's existence, the technology he mastered, and the forces behind him—all things the Interstellar Alliance wanted to know, and he absolutely could not die.

But it was too late; the order was issued, and the rooftop instantly came under concentrated fire, guns and cannons blazing, making the rooftop hot like a furnace.

Bang bang bang bang—robot police had gun barrels all over their bodies, dense as a beehive, firing various caliber bullets and laser cannons together, plus some weapons Lu Yang couldn't identify.

Among the audience were not a few military enthusiasts; they recognized this as the most powerful weapon the police could deploy,

let alone hitting a person—even a building would be blown to pieces!

Countless attacks came from all directions.

However, no matter what kind of attack, it solidified near Lu Yang, neither more nor less, exactly three feet away.

Even the exploding cannonballs stopped at three feet out, maintaining their just-exploded appearance.

Whether it was the Interstellar Alliance's high-level leadership or ordinary spectators, everyone was horrified—this could no longer be explained by an energy shield!

Lu Yang waved at the camera, revealing a mysterious smile; incomprehensible words flowed from his lips as he said, "Trace back to the source."

As if time were reversing, the already-fired bullets retreated backward through the gun barrels and returned to the magazines; the exploding cannonballs reverted to their original state; the lifted roof closed back up; Lu Yang likewise vanished, and everything seemed as if nothing had happened.

If the film crew hadn't disappeared.

"What, what kind of technology is this?" The comment section exploded, viewers continuously posting question marks, but no one could give a definite answer.

"Is it the atomic repair technology that only exists in theory?"

"Time reversal—it must be time reversal!"

The Alliance leadership immediately dispatched the most advanced warship to chase the black-covered boat, but after the black-covered boat passed through a single instance of "shrinking the earth to an inch," it could no longer be tracked.

No one noticed that the very marker they most wanted to find was right beneath the building.

Disguised, Lu Yang left the scene humming a tune; his clothes changed into the common style of the Interstellar Alliance, his appearance altered, and even his aura was different—even if Old Meng stood here, he wouldn't recognize him.

He currently does not want to have contact with the Interstellar Alliance's high-level leadership.

"Little Yangzi, what does 'my home's that one' mean?" The Immortal Fairy's cheeks flushed slightly; she felt this term of address was very intimate, so much so she didn't dare look directly at Little Yangzi.

"My home is my mental space; Fairy, you reside in my mental space, so naturally you are 'my home's that one.'" Lu Yang observed the Fairy's reaction with a half-smile, finding it quite interesting.

"Oh, is that what it means?" The Immortal Fairy suddenly understood, her eyes lighting up: "Then I can also call Little Yangzi that way?"

"Well, well, there's no need to call me that." Lu Yang's eyes darted away, not daring to continue the topic.

The Interstellar Alliance's high-level leadership naturally didn't know that the extraterrestrial who had stirred their nerves tonight was now feeling shy.

Twelve projections surrounded the round table, the atmosphere solemn.

Half of them had been woken from sleep to come to the meeting.

Since the Alliance's founding, very few things could provoke such a reaction from them, and whenever they did react this way, the events they encountered were necessarily major events affecting the Alliance's direction.

The last time such an atmosphere occurred was when resolving the impending dissolution of the Alliance.

"Regarding that extraterrestrial visitor, have the calculation results for 'Ether' come out?" One of them spoke slowly; he was the chairman of the Interstellar Alliance Council, the Alliance's highest leader,

Ether being the Interstellar Alliance's most advanced and largest quantum computer, the Alliance possessing eight hundred primary stars,

three thousand secondary stars, with a population in the trillions, able to maintain such vast rule largely thanks to Ether's coordination and planning.

"We can't compute a specific result, only probability events; the means displayed by the extraterrestrial visitor named 'Lu Yang' have never been recorded in 'Ether'." Speaking was the Alliance's chief scientist, renowned as having the strongest mind in a thousand years,

though he now has nothing but his own brain left in his entire body.

Lu Yang's forces behind him either followed a different research path from ours, or their technological level has created a generational gap with us.

"According to Ether's calculation, if the technological level of the forces behind him far surpasses ours, their forces would have already spread throughout the universe, and the Alliance would not have only just made contact today."

"So Ether believes this extraterrestrial masters technology from a different research path than ours?"

"Yes."

Everyone fell into a long silence, contemplating the conclusion given by Ether.

The chief scientist continued: "However, if we insist on saying the extraterrestrial visitor corresponds to records in Ether,

then there is indeed one 'false record' that could correspond."

The remaining eleven were stunned: "What do you mean by 'false record'?"

"It means there was a record, but without preceding or following textual corroboration, and current technology cannot verify it—for example, many civilizations' enlightenment stages have records of apocalyptic great floods, or immortals wandering through space."

One person had a strange expression: "Are you suggesting the extraterrestrial visitor is an immortal?"

"Exactly so.

This time, everyone did not remain silent but directly rejected this conclusion.

"This is impossible—we shouldn't even consider this probability."

"Where in the world are there immortals? Their technology would seem like divine means to lower-level civilizations."

"Is the highest probability that they possess a different research path from ours?"

Everyone present showed delight; the Alliance's technological bottleneck has lasted five hundred years—let alone major breakthroughs, even minor ones are hard to find—but the technology Lu Yang masters will surely help them achieve new progress!

"What about the matter of Tianhai Star?"

"What does Ether say?"

"It recommends launching humanitarian aid and post-disaster reconstruction on Tianhai Star; first, this has always been the Alliance's policy; second, starting from Tianhai Star allows us to gather more information about Lu Yang."

"Then we shall follow Ether's recommendation."

"Also, I propose allocating one percent of Ether's computing power to calculate matters concerning Lu Yang."

I agree.

Agreed.

Agreed.
