Chapter 195: Crane particles

readx(); Northern United District.

One of the few pure lands in the entire Pan-Asian region. The reason why it is said to be a pure land is only relative to those devastated ruins.

The survivors who were abandoned in this wasteland migrated north and established a survivor settlement with local survivors in the mountainous area south of Jincheng adjacent to the Yellow River. Before the war, the population base here was not high, so the density of zombies was naturally relatively low. It has not been directly hit by nuclear weapons, the radiation level is far lower than that in developed areas, and the density of alien species is also extremely low. Except for the alien species migrating from the north of Jincheng, there is almost no fatal danger here.

Stability naturally brings order and prosperity.

Despite the harsh environment and poor soil, they still opened up thousands of acres of "fertile farmland" on the wasteland. Even if the output is not high, it still feeds tens of thousands of survivors who fled here.

Autocratic, powerful and stable.

These three words are enough to sum up everything about this "empire".

Although it advertises "joint rule", the military police regiment that controls the "security" of this survivor colony has the power of life and death for all survivors. In the form of a military government, they controlled food production and ruled the entire federal area.

It is said that they are plotting against Wanghai City and have been doing so since a long time ago.

Of course, this Sun Xiaorou was not a member of the Military Police, but belonged to a religious organization operating in the north - the Dusk Church.

They preach the coming of the end of the world and believe in the fear of the end of the world. However, unlike most desperate people, they also firmly believe that Boyu, the spiritual leader they believe in, can lead them out of the solar system and find the second sun, a new home for mankind.

Coincidentally, the purpose of their coming to Wanghai City this time was actually for the "Eden Project" buried in the 005 shelter, in order to obtain the information to establish a small biosphere in space.

In order to enter the urban construction bureau in the city center and obtain the specific coordinates of shelter 005, they did not hesitate to collude with the mutants in No. 7. Mutants' munitions and supplies, as well as the passwords to Kalman Corporation's security systems. It's all provided by them.

Unfortunately, they were destined to return empty-handed. There was almost nothing left there except a pile of broken iron slag. While eradicating the mutated creatures that broke into Vault 005, Jiang Chen conveniently blew up the artificial intelligence server. And all useful things inside the facility were evacuated.

As for the "iron box" that stored the "Eden Project", after Lin Ling copied all the data to the chip in her brain, Jiang Chen also destroyed the original.

I don’t know what Boyu is doing. After working hard and trying hard, he finally arrived at the 005 shelter and faced a pile of debris. What a wonderful look on the face.

But no matter what, even if Jiang Chen knew the current situation of Shelter 005, he couldn't stand in front of him and tell him: Shelter 005 has been penetrated by me, and I have taken away all the things inside.

In this case, the conflict between the two sides is naturally inevitable. Jiang Chen could not let mutants enter Qingpu, and Boyu, who led the Twilight Church, would not abandon the city center. By sending his men to assassinate him, he had shown his hostile stance.

Sun Xiaorou had no memory of how the arms supplies were transported to Wanghai City and how she joined the Dusk Church. After all, he joined the church at a very young age, and according to the consistent behavior of religious organizations. Programs such as brainwashing are definitely inescapable.

Also, it’s about Yajing.

Because later on, Sun Xiaorou, who was in a semi-conscious state, had already started talking nonsense. From the fragmentary language, Jiang Chen really couldn't summarize the information she dictated.

However, one key word she repeatedly emphasized made him somewhat concerned.

Crane particles.

This seemed to be the third time he had heard the word.

... ... .

"ah!"

As soon as Lin Ling opened the door, a short mournful cry sounded.

Jiang Chen glanced at the trembling Lin Ling in confusion.

"What’s wrong with you?"

"No, it's nothing!"

The high-pitched voice seemed out of tune.

Were you stimulated by something

Since Lin Ling often had intermittent tantrums, Jiang Chen didn't bother to care about her and asked straight to the point.

"About what happened last night. I have something to ask."

Lin Ling swallowed cutely and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

It's rare that she would be so cooperative.

Normally, shouldn't it start with something like "Humph. Why do I have to help you?"

Of course he didn't know that Lin Ling, a disobedient guy, secretly went back after he closed the door and heard and saw something bad at the door.

"... Then let me ask, was Tingting the one who shot out red light from her eyes last night?"

He said the name Tingting. Jiang Chen looked a little strange.

Although in that virtual world, she appeared as a human being and became a couple with him, her original body was probably just a "bug".

"Yeah!" Lin Ling nodded vigorously.

"What on earth is that ray?"

Hearing this, Lin Ling's expression became serious.

"This is what I just wanted to talk about... some unusual things found on Yajing."

After saying that, Lin Ling ran to the experimental table, took off a piece of sub-crystal polished into a flat mirror surface, and placed it in the glass cover of a strange-looking instrument.

"This is?"

"You don't understand, but it's a very convenient instrument... I used to think that you were just collecting these shiny stones like magpies to use as currency and at the same time as a substitute for fossil fuels. It’s a good product, but I studied it carefully yesterday and found that it’s not that simple.”

In the glass cover, the emerald green sub-crystal began to change color.

"Complete combustion of a little subcrystal will release energy equivalent to 2.47KG of standard coal. Then, it will become this state."

The sub-crystal has lost its luster and turned into a quartz-like state.

"Then what?" Jiang Chen looked at the faded crystal with interest.

Lin Ling did not answer Jiang Chen's question, but asked with a mysterious expression: "Have you ever heard of the fourth dimension?"

"Fourth dimension? Does it include the time and space of the timeline?" Jiang Chen had heard of it, and after all, he was in college.

"Then let me ask another question, have you ever heard of the energy that exists in the fourth dimension?"

Jiang Chen was stunned. On the one hand, it was because this statement was too abstract, and on the other hand, it was because she was confused as to why she suddenly asked this question.

"All matter in this world, including you and me, can be simply summarized by the three parameters of length, width and height. This is the three-dimensional dimension. But if you add a timeline to it, such as Jiang Chen who exists today, Jiang Chen and tomorrow's Jiang Chen are completely two different entities in the fourth dimension. Just like Lin Ling, who is 1.5 meters tall, and Lin Ling, who is two meters tall, are two different entities in the third dimension."

"If you add a time axis to energy, imagine this. This sub-crystal's 'energy today' is used up, but tens of thousands of years later, its energy is refilled..."

"Wait, what about conservation of mass?" Jiang Chen couldn't help but interrupt.

"Of course it is conserved. Because from the beginning, Crane particles have existed in the four-dimensional space. It is just that we who are limited to a 'certain point' cannot see it. However, at a specific point in time, Crane particles will partially fall into the three-dimensional space, and the intuitive expression in our eyes is 'full of energy'."

Because it was too science fiction, even though Lin Ling spoke in detail and slowly, Jiang Chen still only half understood.

"You can try this sub-crystal and use your ability to extract its energy. By the way, the previous energy value of this sub-crystal was 5." With that said, Lin Ling placed the colorless sub-crystal on the Jiang Chen's hand.

Already empty.

No matter how you think about it, it's impossible to use it to charge the jump bracelet, right

Although he thought this, Jiang Chen still followed Lin Ling's instructions and held Yajing in his hands.

immediately. A shocked expression appeared on his face.

It was obviously an empty sub-crystal, but he actually extracted energy from it.

Moreover, the energy replenished by the bracelet is almost no less than that provided by 5 points of sub-crystal!

"Is it residual energy?" Jiang Chen asked with difficulty.

Lin Ling shook her head.

"The energy that exists in the third dimension has been completely consumed. No matter which production equipment you take this piece of sub-crystal, it cannot be used as an energy substance. But should I say that it is as expected? Your jump The bracelet can directly extract the Crane particles located in the fourth dimension. In other words, you consume all the energy that may appear in the future."

Jiang Chen stared at the lines on his right wrist with wide eyes.

"No, it can also be charged to replenish energy. To be full of energy, it requires about 100 kilowatt-hours of electricity. If you use sub-crystal, it only needs 10 points. But according to you, 1 point of sub-crystal. The energy alone has dropped to the third dimension. It is equivalent to 2.47KG of standard coal. The energy of Crane particles of 10 points of sub-crystal is dozens of times higher than that of 100 kilowatt-hours of electricity, right?"

Lin Ling sighed

"Think about it carefully. When you charge the jump bracelet with electricity, is there any current flowing along your hand and through your body to the ground?"

Jiang Chen frowned and recalled the previous charging scene, then shook his head.

"No."

"Of course not. If there were, you must have been electrocuted to a crisp." Lin Ling said with full malice.

"The electrical energy absorbed by your bracelet is not the energy generated when electrons flow from the negative electrode to the positive electrode in the usual sense, but directly consumes the electrons themselves. It is quite troublesome to explain. You can directly understand it as a form of annihilation. Speaking of which, you don’t think you can travel through time and space with just 100 kilowatt-hours of electricity, do you?” At the end of the sentence, Lin Ling couldn’t help but complain.

"In other words, sub-crystal... This kind of biological crystal is the container of Crane particles?"

"That's right. I haven't studied exactly how it contains those mysterious Crane particles. In short, the sub-crystal is indeed not a simple thing. Including the female assassin detonating the sub-crystal, including Tingting shooting out The red ray is a phenomenon caused by the decay of Crane particles into the three-dimensional space and the release of energy." Lin Ling said solemnly.

(S: I’m talking about the first few chapters. Some of the typos are intentional. As for why everyone understands it, it would be nice... Some words can’t even be spelled in pinyin, so they can only be typos. For example, Yuwang, etc., are there any That's not what I meant at all! Who on earth equated Yuwang and Seyu in such a dirty manner? He was so drunk.) (.)
