Blind Date in Time and Space

Chen Ji and Zhou Wan left the dormitory, with a palm-sized black kitten lying on their shoulders.

"Zhou Wan, tell me about the past three months."

Chen Ji asked her on the way to the conference room.

"Well, actually it's not much. The most important change is that the power crystals are gradually losing their power!"

Zhou Wan looked at him with a bit of worry.

"Losing power? Unable to maintain the energy consumption of the underground city?"

Chen Ji thought carefully and sighed: "Energy is indeed the most important change."

After the sun went out, humans were forced to hide underground and use various energy sources to maintain the operation of society.

Including but not limited to oil, coal, geothermal, nuclear fission, etc.

Three years ago, researchers in Haicheng accidentally used crystals of life powers to create a nearly inexhaustible energy source, which benefited mankind around the world. Oil and coal consumption was greatly reduced, allowing them to build huge cities underground. .

Although the current ground temperature is minus five degrees, humans can survive and grow doomsday plants to obtain food.

However, in order to prevent the sun from extinguishing again, countries around the world have built doomsday bases underground and dug passages to the ground to use geothermal energy as a backup energy source.

"Except for this, everything else is fine. Oh, by the way, Lin Zhiyang is in Xia Kingdom, getting involved with the people of the Dark Doomsday Society."

Zhou Wan said again.

"He dares to show up in public? That's right, you have been missing for three months." Chen Ji said with a smile: "We just happened to come back, so we will act quietly this time to catch him!"

There is a high probability that Lin Zhiyang knows where to go to the intersection of the four realms, or where to go to the space rift in the nine realms. Finding him is half the battle.

While chatting, the two came to the upper conference room.

"Chen Ji is here?"

"Come on, sit down, Xiao Zhang, hurry up and make tea for Mr. Chen!"

Many leaders were already sitting in the conference room. When they saw Zhou Wan and Chen Ji appear, they all smiled, their eyes full of expectation, and hurriedly asked him to sit down.

Three months is neither long nor short.

The meeting started soon.

Everyone looked at him. This meeting was held because of him. Chen Ji cleared his throat and asked: "Can the three superpower crystals still be used now?"

After he asked this question, everyone's expressions became a little subtle.

The leader of Haishi Doomsday Base, Gao Liqun, answered him somewhat helplessly: "After Zhou Wan left, the power crystal slowly lost its power for some reason. Then the day before yesterday, when Zhou Wan just came back, the power crystal completely lost its power. Use value!”

Chen Ji frowned.

Zhou Wan said: "I guess the change in the power crystal is due to my departure and return this time."

She looked at Chen Ji, meaning that what happened at the intersection of the four realms, even the changes in the nine realms, and Mu Xiaoxiao's arrival at the intersection of the four realms, were a series of factors that superimposed and caused the power crystal to fail.

The last time Mu Xiaoxiao came to the apocalyptic world, she caused the superpower crystal to mutate, which shows that the crystal has a certain connection with her.

Gao Liqun sighed softly, "We are trying our best to find a solution, but I can tell you, Chen Ji, that we currently have no solution!"

Chen Ji's heart sank.

No wonder they all had strong expectations in their eyes after seeing him.

Gao Liqun continued: "Our research on superpower crystals has always only stayed at the application level. We don't understand anything involved in it, whether it is physics, magic, laws, or mysterious principles!"

Chen Ji nodded slightly: "I actually have a guess. The superpower crystal is a fragment of power formed after the collision of several worlds. It involves the laws of the world. Not even you, no one in the four worlds can understand it. In front of the world, Human power is too small.”

Everyone was shocked.

This was the first time that Chen Ji publicly told them that a major event like the collision of four worlds had occurred.

Zhou Wan also looked at him, vaguely worried. Did she say these things because she had no other choice?

Chen Ji added: "Let me tell you about the other three worlds and some of the things I have done recently, about Lin Zhiyang."

He decided to speak out.

Because the influence of the four worlds on each other is getting deeper and deeper, and there will be more changes in the future, speaking out in advance can help prepare for it.

"The first world, the Divine Grace Continent, is the female shadow that appeared in the World Tree last time. She is a goddess named Astana. At the same time, she also purified the black petals that burst out from the sun. …”

Chen Ji told them some situations.

Briefly introduce the three worlds, and then talk about the intersection of the four realms.

Gao Liqun, Director Zhao, Wei Hong, Duan Zhengyan and others were very shocked.

It turns out that there is such a magical universe outside the universe where the earth is located. The theory of the multiverse is correct.

"Four worlds collide..."

Gao Liqun rubbed his temples. After thinking carefully, he raised his head to look at Chen Ji and said with a smile: "Even such a big event as the collision of worlds did not destroy the earth on the spot. It seems that mankind is very lucky!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then started laughing, with a sense of joy in the misery.

"But there's one thing I can't figure out."

"What's up?"

"Is that why black flowers grow in the sun?"

Gao Liqun analyzed and said: "And judging from some phenomena, there is a will behind the doomsday destruction represented by the black flowers, a big villain, arranging the earth to be destroyed step by step!"

Chen Ji nodded slightly. This inference had always existed. Mu Xiaoxiao had guessed it a long time ago and wanted to find the mastermind behind the doomsday.

Later, after learning that black flowers grow on the sun, few people mentioned this argument. Everyone equated the mastermind with the black flowers.

"Perhaps the Shadow of Chaos has undergone certain changes in this world and has wisdom?"

"possible!"

Chen Ji's guess was endorsed by Duan Zhengyan, who said: "People in the Dark Doomsday Society can gain power from the black aura through some special methods. Their bodies are highly deformed, and many of them no longer have humanoid appearances. , very weird.”

"So arrogant?"

Chen Ji was a little surprised. Last time, he only met people from the Dark Doomsday Society once in Amei Ken. He didn't expect that it has developed so quickly now.

Even they treat it with such caution, which shows that the Dark Doomsday Society already has great influence in many places.

"Yes, they operate in many places."

The ground is not under the control of the Doomsday Base and is in a state of chaos and disorder.

Haishi can be said to be the largest human settlement in the world. People from the Dark Doomsday Society appear even here. You can imagine it in other places.

Chen Ji said: "As for the power of black flowers, my suggestion is that you can study it, but don't try to master it."

"We understand and we have been very careful."

"Also, about Lin Zhiyang who stole the destiny fragment."

Chen Ji said that he could rely on black flowers and destiny fragments to travel to other worlds.

Wei Hong was surprised: "This power of traveling through the world...is the same as yours, Chen Ji?"

"no the same."

Chen Ji smiled and said: "I can travel anywhere, but Lin Zhiyang relies on black flowers, and he can only travel at weak points in space."

"...In other words, if you find Lin Zhiyang, you can find the weak point in the space?"

Countless thoughts flashed through Gao Liqun's mind, but he quickly gave up and sighed: "Even if we escape from this world, other worlds will not have problems accepting us. They will also suffer the impact of the collision of worlds."

"but."

Before Chen Ji spoke, he said energetically: "Capturing Lin Zhiyang is still of great value. Maybe our researchers can get some results from this!"

Being able to travel through time and space will have a huge impact on physics. Many theorems will have to be rewritten, qualifiers will be added, and a large number of physical rules will only take effect within this universe.

But whether something useful can be researched out of this is still unknown.

Just like humans can see the sun every day, but they cannot directly study controllable nuclear fusion from the sun. Being able to travel through time and space does not mean that they have mastered the principles.

"Capturing Lin Zhiyang will become one of our next key tasks!"

Duan Zhengyan said.

"I heard that there are already clues about him?"

"Yes, we received intelligence not long ago that we saw him moving not far away, mingling with those people."

Chen Ji said "hmm" and didn't ask any more questions.

He asked some questions about energy and knew that with the current reserves of materials, food, oil, coal, etc., Xia's major doomsday bases could probably last for a year and maintain half of the current population.

But according to Gao Liqun, once energy alternatives cannot be found within half a year, a large number of people will be desperate. They will fall into anxiety and think that they are eliminated. By then, the turmoil will be unstoppable.

"I'm going to see the superpower crystal!"

Chen Ji stood up. There was no need to continue this meeting. Energy was the key.

"Okay, I'll take you there. Wei Hong, you come too."

Gao Liqun immediately made arrangements for Wei Hong, the leader of the research center, to accompany him, while the others went to work separately.

Chen Ji and Zhou Wan left the conference room. Huang Yuwen, the man with the power to drive, and several members of Zhou Wan's team came over and said hello to Chen Ji.

They will follow the action, and if Zhou Wan has any instructions, he can directly ask them to do it.

"Tell you something!"

Chen Ji patted Huang Yuwen on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Your home has been lived in by a group of people from other worlds, and they have lived there for a long time, three or four months."

"Well?"

Huang Yuwen was confused. His family? Wasn't his house abandoned long ago?

Chen Ji laughed, "Just don't blame me for making my own decisions."

"How could it be possible? It's only natural for Brother Chen to use my shabby villa... Are we going to my house this time?"

Huang Yuwen rubbed his hands, "It's not bad to go back, it's very memorable!"

Kong Xiaomin gave him a roll of eyes.

Chen Ji said: "Let's put the action on hold for now, let's go see the superpower crystal."

When he mentioned the power crystal, the atmosphere immediately changed. Everyone, including Huang Yuwen, became serious.

It is related to the future of mankind and cannot be taken too seriously.

"Brother Chen, please come this way!"

Huang Yuwen made a respectful gesture.

Chen Ji and Zhou Wan walked side by side and walked with them towards the elevator leading directly to the underground doomsday base.

On the way, Zhou Wan whispered to him: "Don't be too stressed, everything will always be solved."

Chen Ji knew what she wanted to say and shook her little hand.

A group of people went down to the doomsday base thousands of meters underground.

After stepping out of the elevator, Chen Ji immediately saw the changes in the city:

More than half of the lights were missing, making the city much darker. All unnecessary lights were turned off. Residential buildings were only illuminated by one big light, and no lights were turned on inside the house.

In addition, the number of maglev trains in the city has been reduced a lot, and there are almost no private cars or electric cars, replaced by bicycles.

People are no longer as relaxed as before, and most people have lingering worries on their faces.

The underground city with tens of millions of people was already crowded, but now it is even more depressing.

Chen Ji's arrival attracted the attention of many people. Being able to take the elevator directly up and down means that there are important tasks that need to be processed quickly.

"It's Chen Ji! And Zhou Wan!"

People immediately recognized them, their eyes finally showed a little more excitement, and they gathered around.

"Uh, what's wrong?"

Chen Ji was surprised.

The last time he came, although it would arouse people's curiosity, it would not be as exaggerated as now.

The crowd grew larger and larger, and everyone looked at him expectantly.

"Is such that."

Gao Liqun looked slightly embarrassed and explained: "In order to appease people's hearts, we promoted several technologies brought by Chen Ji two months ago."

Chen Ji understood.

He has now become the Doomsday Base of Haishi and even the hope of mankind around the world. Everyone is looking forward to him bringing epoch-making technology again!

No wonder Zhou Wan went out of her way to comfort him just now, which put him under too much pressure.

Gao Liqun looked at him expectantly, hoping that he would stand up and say a few words, so that people would at least have expectations in their hearts.

Just like three years ago, when Chen Ji, Zhou Wan, and Mu Xiaoxiao appeared as superpowers!

"Everyone!"

In everyone's expectant eyes, Chen Ji said loudly: "I believe hope exists! One day, we will see the vibrant sun rise and the world return to normal. We will walk up from the underground and return to the world. Live on the ground!”

After a pause, he added: "I believe in hope and I believe in you. As long as we gather the power of mankind, we will definitely be able to defeat this doomsday!"

This is undoubtedly just a comforting statement.

However, people in the apocalypse now need such words, and they also need capable people like Chen Ji to say these words to cheer up people's hearts.

After a moment of silence, the crowd applauded.

Zhou Wan also clapped, biting her lip, tears welling up in her eyes. After being pulled onto the maglev car by Chen Ji, she leaned into his arms and let him wipe away her tears.

"Brother Chen, I believe you too!"

Huang Yuwen, who was sitting in the front seat, whispered something, and the members of Zhou Wan's team, Kong Xiaomin, Zhu Gao, and Huang Xiao, all looked over.

Chen Ji put his arm around Zhou Wan's shoulders and smiled at them.

Fifteen minutes later, the maglev train arrived at the power generation center—now a thermal power generation center. The power generation center in front of them was where the crystals of life powers were placed.

The power generation center is small and is buckled on the ground in a semicircular shape. It is dark inside, but there are still soldiers stationed there. After entering, I also see a few researchers who are still making last-ditch efforts to restore the power of the life power crystal.

Chen Ji entered the core and saw a glass cylinder placed in a large pool. Lying quietly inside was a ferocious piece of flesh that had lost its vitality but had not yet rotted.

"The power of life is crystallized in the meat?"

Chen Ji asked in surprise.

"right!"

Wei Hong explained: "This piece of meat even belongs to the mutant rat king. It can continuously release power, allowing the surrounding mutant mycelium to gain energy. After a series of changes, it is transformed into the electrical energy we need."

"The mutated mycelium can only reproduce for about a month, and then it needs to replenish energy... Fortunately, the power it releases is amazing and can be used by human bases around the world."

"Of course, this is all in the past."

Wei Hong said with regret.

Just relying on a small piece of superpower crystal can meet the energy needs of mankind around the world. It is simply the power of creation. Nuclear fusion is its younger brother in front of it!

Chen Ji thought for a while: "I'll ask Mu Xiaoxiao to come over."

It's time to invite the Empress to come.
