The research room behind the hatch is full of dust and dust, revealing a dilapidated atmosphere. The style of this research room is weird, and the site is in the shape of a curved strip, which is in obvious contrast to the spaciousness of many research rooms.
In addition, this research room is different from most important areas in the Battle of Contest area, and there is no messy atmosphere here. It seems that the apostles or researchers who were here had properly protected the devices and equipment when they retreated. Most of the equipment in the research room is covered with canvas, and some facilities have reinforcements.
While Qin Lun was still observing the research room, the Orphan of the Holy City was running wildly in the room while tearing off the canvas covering the equipment.
"Sure enough, he has been here before, and his parents should have worked here, but I don't know if the apostles of the 'Wheel of Heavenly Blossom' have withdrawn from the holy city!" Qin Lun looked at the little mute's movements, The light in the eyes flickered.
However, the young man knew that the mute's parents were most likely dead. After all, if they were still alive, they shouldn't leave the little mute alone.
As the little mute swept the canvas in the research room to the ground, the original appearance of the whole research room appeared before Qin Lun's eyes.
"What is this, a test wind tunnel? A teleportation device? Or a magnetic acceleration track?"
When the full view of this research room, which looks like a submarine cabin, was revealed, a hint of surprise flashed across Qin Lun's face. In the center of this research room is an artificial tunnel more than ten meters long and two meters high. It is a bit like a wind tunnel for test aircraft, and a bit like a magnetic acceleration device for high-energy physics.
The most peculiar thing is that the surface of this steel tunnel is densely engraved with law runes, and it is easy to see that this is the handwriting of many high-ranking apostles.
Could it be that I found another piece of "big equipment" like the apostle mecha!
Qin Lun was extremely weird in his heart, and the expressions on his face were even more colorful. With his luck all along, this is simply too unscientific!
"Yeah, yay!" Seeing Qin Lun standing there blankly, he immediately annoyed another person in the research room. The little mute was unhappy, puffed up his cheeks, and made a sound for the first time.
"Oh..." Qin Lun came back to his senses and looked at the little mute, "You want me to help you activate this device? Can this thing still be activated?"
Qin Lun approached the console where the mute was with a little doubt, where there was a palm-shaped touch screen. He carefully put his palm on the touch screen, planning to evacuate here with the little mute if something goes wrong.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he touched the touch screen, the death list immediately exploded, and the prompt information of Broken Starry Sky poured down like swiping the screen, and most of them were warning messages in red font.
"Apostle No. 70053, you discovered the time-space converter..."
"Apostle No. 70053, you have received the temporary employment mission of Broken Starry Sky... Destroy the time-space converter, mission reward: After this battle for urban supremacy, the mission evaluation of the first level can be improved..."
"Apostle No. 70053, the temporary employment task is limited to be completed within ten minutes, and the countdown has begun..."
Time-space converter? ! Qin Lun's body froze in place, letting the little mute tug on his sleeve anxiously, the light in his pupils flickering on and off. After he read the reminder messages of Broken Starry Sky one by one, he also understood what the so-called "time-space converter" was.
This particle accelerator-like tunnel device, of course, cannot convert the current time and space into another time and space, nor can it send anyone or anything into another time and space, and it is meaningless to the apostles.
However, in a sense, this machine does play the role of time and space transformation.
Speaking of which, it also involves the formation process of the apostles. How did ordinary humans like Qin Lun become apostles? First of all, the apostles jumped from their original world into the Broken Starry Sky, but the opposition of the two world laws caused wonderful changes in their bodies and souls.
Souls that cannot adapt to time and space travel will be annihilated, leaving only the body that relies on biological instinct to act, and the remaining soul power will form soul power crystals in the body. And the soul that can adapt to time and space travel will be recognized by the law of the broken starry sky, and combined with the law, the body will become a preparatory apostle, forming an apostolic contract with the broken starry sky.
In other words, the formation of the apostles is essentially due to the impact of two world laws, or a side effect of the conversion process of two different time and space.
The device in front of Qin Lun is itself a high-tech product of another time and space, and its real name is "Time and Space Travel Instrument". In its original world, this instrument is just an experimental device created under scientific fantasy, and it cannot be used at all except for viewing.
The reason is that the world itself does not have the law of space-time transition, this thing will never be used no matter how advanced the technology is.
However, in a space-time impact of the broken starry sky on that universe, this thing was involved in the turbulence of time and space, and appeared on the continent of Atlantis...
Atlantis suffered greatly from the shortage of backup apostles. After they got this thing, they actually came up with a whimsical idea. They want to use this instrument as an apostle processing factory to artificially create a space-time conversion field, and then allow ordinary Atlanteans to perform apostle conversion.
The most ridiculous thing is that they... succeeded!
This alien "time-travel instrument", perfected by a large group of Atlantean scientists, although unable to travel in time and space, has successfully simulated a space-time environment that is completely different from the broken starry sky.
Once an intelligent creature from the Broken Starry Sky enters this instrument and comes out from the other end, he (she) will be regarded by the Broken Starry Sky as a visitor from another time and space, thus obtaining a transformation process of a legal body.
Subjectively speaking, this is beneficial to Broken Starry Sky, as it gets more mercenaries. But the problem is that Broken Starry Sky is a collection of laws, how could it allow this kind of behavior of artificially creating apostles, for it, this is simply a cancer cell in the law of apostles' contract.
If it were another apostle city, this kind of equipment would not exist at all. If any large team dares to hide this kind of instrument, if Broken Starry Sky pays some price, countless apostle teams will attack it.
It's a pity that this is a special case in Atlantis, and people simply manage the apostles as soldiers. Under the melting pot of the Apostles Legion, even if Broken Starry Sky issued a mission to destroy the instrument, no one would pay attention to it.
Perhaps, this is also the main reason why the large-scale apostolic civil strife and melee in the holy city of Atlantis and the broken starry sky did not take measures to stop it.
From the perspective of this law group, the Atlantis civilization is simply a cancer in the broken starry sky. Since the apostles inside often violate the apostolic contract, it does not need to fulfill the obligation of protection.
After the people of Atlantis successfully developed this space-time converter, the joy in their hearts is obvious. They even asked a large group of high-ranking apostles to engrave the time-space converter with countless runes of laws, making it "disappear" under the nose of the broken starry sky.
However, after a series of experiments, the Atlanteans fell from heaven to hell again. They were able to make the time-space converter simulate another time-space, but they did not expect that the success rate of ordinary Atlanteans transforming into apostles would be so low, only a few hundredths!
Scientists in Atlantis stayed up all night trying to find a way to improve the success rate, but unfortunately they only came to a desperate conclusion. To become an apostle, the environment and physical factors are not the key point, the key point is the soul, only special souls that meet the requirements of time and space travel have the potential to become an apostle.
In other words, even if the scientists of Atlantis have made the time-space converter the most perfect state, whether they can become an apostle depends on the person's own soul, and the result cannot be predicted in advance.
Based on this conversion rate, if all the millions of Atlanteans in the Holy City participated in the conversion, it would only add thousands of potential apostles to the Holy City. It was also through the Time-Space Transformer that the top leaders of Atlantis realized that there was a fundamental problem with their social system, and that their plight was created by themselves.
The holy city will eventually break out the doomsday war. In a way, the high-ranking apostles of Atlantis have despaired of the prospect of war. This is why he chose to give up continuing to help Atlantis, and before the final judgment came, he divided up the three major apostle legions in the holy city.
"Yeah!" While Qin Lun was still in a state of absent-mindedness, the little mute got a little impatient, and stomped on the young man's foot, finally bringing him back to his senses.
"You...you already know what this is, right!" Qin Lun smiled wryly at the little mute.
Seeing Qin Lun come to his senses, the little mute immediately let go of his bare feet, ran to the entrance of the time-space converter, and asked him to activate the instrument with a stroke of a pen.
Qin Lun took a deep breath, removed his palm from the touch screen, walked up to the little mute, and said seriously: "Believe me, entering the world of the apostles will never make it easier for you than it is now, at least I don't think it is A good choice...”
The little mute looked at Qin Lun quietly, but his big eyes with black hair were particularly determined.
Qin Lun and him stared at each other for a long time before sighing, "Well, maybe I can't persuade you, but I can choose not to activate this device for you! With me here, at least you can survive safely! "
"Yeah!" The little mute raised his head and glared at Qin Lun angrily. Seeing that the young man turned his head and ignored him, he finally fell silent. After a long while, the little mute pulled Qin Lun's arm, and slowly handed the doll in his arms to the young man.
"You...would rather give it up and do it!" Qin Lun raised his head, as if he had been punched hard, stared at the tattered doll, and murmured, "Okay, this is yours. Destiny, I respect your choice... just don't regret it, there is no turning back on this road!"
