After rolling out of the protective shell, Liang Xian struggled for a while on the ground, then immediately ran to Qin Li and pressed his temples with both hands.

"Qin Li, believe me!" he said loudly.

Qin Li had fainted a long time ago, but his trust in Liang Xian remained unchanged. Liang Xian controlled his own strength to replenish Qin Li's consciousness, and soon Qin Li's heavy breathing became smooth, and the injury on his chest also recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Liang Xian didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the wound had completely healed. He looked at Tan Yan and saw that his face and body were covered in blood and he looked very embarrassed, so he hurried to help him heal his wounds.

Tan Yan blocked Liang Xian's finger that was about to touch his temple and asked, "Will you fall asleep?"

"Well... I'm probably simulating the brain waves of sleep to speed up the recovery of consciousness. I should fall into a deep sleep."

"Then let's not use it for now." Tan Yan pushed Liang Xian's hand away and said simply.

Everyone knew that Tan Yan couldn't sleep yet, he had to maintain the protective shield. Although they were hiding under the Great Wall and the impact was much smaller, it was still something that mortal bodies could not withstand, so the protective shield could not be removed.

Liang Xian's hand trembled slightly, and he pointed at Tan Yan's wound and said, "But you...if you continue like this, you will lose too much blood."

"It's okay." Tan Yan wiped the blood off his face. There was not a single wound on his face. "It's just superficial injuries. It's healed."

Otherwise, with the amount of blood he had lost, he would have collapsed from excessive blood loss before he even got here.

Everyone felt very sad. Each of them could receive treatment, but Tan Yan couldn't. Why did he have to bear such a responsibility? It was because they were too weak.

Ah San touched the artery on Qin Li's neck and breathed a sigh of relief, "He was just sleeping, it's okay. Liang Xian, how did you do it?"

"I use my consciousness to guide Qin Li to recover himself. Sleep brain waves can help the disordered electronic entanglement get back on track. I just speed up the process." Liang Xian said calmly.

"Then is his heart injury...healing faster than usual?"

"I guided his consciousness to use all its strength for self-healing. The energy is concentrated in the heart, and the healing speed will be faster." Liang Xian thought about it and said, "But people who are not familiar with the human body structure should not do this. If you can't control it well, only the surface wound will heal, but the inside will not heal, which is easy to leave sequelae."

"So that's how it is. Fortunately, you have this power." Asan breathed a sigh of relief, sat down on the ground and looked up at the sky.

He stared at the wall for a while and asked curiously, "What is that?"

Cui Heyu and others looked up at the sky in the direction of his hand, but saw nothing.

"What?" Yan Yongfeng asked.

"There are so many spots of light, one by one, stuck on the city wall." Asan checked for a while, but found that he couldn't count them at all, so he gave up.

Liang Xian seemed to have seen these spots of light as well, and looked at them thoughtfully.

“We… can’t see…” Yan Yongfeng and the other two rubbed their eyes hard, but they could see nothing.

"Because this is not 'seen'," Liang Xian pointed at his brain, "it is the brain that is aware of it, the consciousness senses these light spots, and the brain feeds the information back to the eyes, so that these light spots can form images on the retina."

"Is that so..." Yan Yongfeng said dejectedly, "When can we awaken? This is such a burden."

His words also reflected the thoughts of the other two.

Cui Heyu tried hard to look up at the sky, trying to "see" the light spot that Assistant Professor Chai mentioned. He recalled Liang Xian's theory on consciousness and supernatural powers, and purposefully controlled his consciousness, trying hard to think and feel, hoping to awaken his supernatural powers.

"What are these light spots?" Ah San asked, "In such a terrible environment, why hasn't this section of the Great Wall collapsed? Even if the Great Wall is a famous historical site, this is ridiculous."

They are just bricks and tiles from the cold weapon era, not even as good as reinforced concrete. How can they withstand the 1,670km/h gale and tsunami

What's even more outrageous is that there were earthquakes all around, the earth was cracking and collapsing, seawater was pouring in, and the landform was changing on a large scale, but only this section of the city wall did not move. It was like a small boat swaying in the wind and rain, seemingly about to be overturned by the waves, but it was floating steadily on the sea.

"It was the consciousness of protecting this country," Tan Yan said, "It was because they called me that I found Qin Li."

"I see." Asan, who had been doubting just now, was immediately relieved. After all, he was a cultivator and still believed in the power of the soul.

"That's ridiculous," Cui Heyu shook his head. "Everything exists for a reason. Even if the Great Wall embodies all the aspirations and expectations of the Chinese people, it can't be so powerful. If it were so powerful, the Great Wall in our world would have the same power, but we don't. There must be a reason for this."

"I heard your call," Liang Xian said to Tan Yan, "When Qin Li's heart was pierced by hail, I heard you calling us, and I responded and said we are here."

"I heard it." Tan Yan pointed to his brain, "I heard it here. But the sound was too weak, and I couldn't tell the direction. It wasn't until these consciousnesses shouted for you that I found you."

After hearing his words, Cui Heyu and Liang Xian lowered their heads to think at the same time. Neither of them believed in supernatural events and they firmly believed that all these strange phenomena could be explained by science.

Tan Yan also relaxed a little. Since coming here, the pressure of the protective shield has been much lighter, and he can also breathe a sigh of relief.

"Speaking of which, my strength has become stronger." Tan Yan looked down at his hands. "I don't know if it was to find you and force my consciousness to increase, or if it was with their help. But just now I was almost overdrawing my consciousness, but now I surprisingly don't feel a headache, and I feel like I still have a lot of strength."

Everyone: “…”

"You... can become even stronger?" Ah San's eyes almost popped out of his head in shock.

Tan Yan is already a person who can punch meteorites, kick Mosasaurus, and tear apart airplanes with his bare hands. How can he become stronger? Will they let these rookies live? Speaking of which, they entered the "void" originally to increase their strength, so why is it that the person who became stronger in the end is Tan Yan, and the increase is much greater than theirs.

The three people who haven't awakened yet: "..."

"I was so wrong," Yan Yongfeng muttered as he sat with his knees hugged. "When you said Tan Yan could protect us, I thought that no matter how powerful he was, he was only at the level of a tank. Now I know that he is not a tank at all, but the Dinghai Shenzhen in myth and legend."

No wonder Qin Li was able to hold on and not give up. With such a backbone, no one would give up hope.

Liang Xian and Cui Heyu, who were still thinking hard, murmured at the same time: "I became stronger after coming here? There must be something special about the environment of this world. The reason for the current apocalypse is..."

"Schumen resonance!" they both said at the same time, and did not forget to spit at each other.

After thinking about the Schumer resonance, they tried to think about the series of changes that would occur after the Earth stopped rotating. An idea flashed through their minds -

"Ionizing radiation! I know what these spots of light are!"

"Now that you two understand, I'm going to start teaching again," Ah San was already used to this kind of life of teaching theology and science, so he waved his hand and said, "Come one by one."

Cui Heyu knew that he was still a beginner in the end of the world and supernatural powers, so he didn't say anything and let Liang Xian show his abilities. Anyway, he had silently sworn in his heart that even if he might die here, he must awaken his supernatural powers. He didn't want to experience this feeling of powerlessness again.

"The Schumer resonance refers to the index of the Earth's rotation. You should remember this term and look it up yourself. In short, you just need to know that the current situation is caused by the Schumer resonance phenomenon, which has caused the Earth's rotation to stop." Liang Xian explained, "After the rotation stops, in addition to the strong winds, tsunamis and earthquakes caused by inertia, the Earth's magnetic field will no longer exist, and the surrounding environment will become an ionizing radiation environment that is deadly enough.

Ionizing radiation refers to radiation that carries enough energy to free the electrons in atoms or molecules of a substance, thereby ionizing these atoms or molecules. Ionizing radiation is harmful to the human body. If you are in an ionizing radiation environment for a long time, the cells in your body will become cancerous.

But everyone knows where our superpowers come from. "

"The consciousness formed by the quantum entanglement of massive electrons affects the microscopic particles in the external environment." Qiu Qizhen replied while others were still searching the memory bank.

He is usually a hard-working student. Although he is not as talented as Liang Xian and Cui Heyu, he is a hard-working genius. If he can't learn it once, he will try again and again. He is persistent and has leadership. When Ah San and others had given up trying to understand the reason for the supernatural power, he was still trying to keep up with the thinking of Liang Xian and others.

"Ionizing radiation will free the electrons in the atoms or molecules in the surrounding environment, making them easier to control. Just like when we want to make iron tools, we always have to melt the iron first so that it can change its shape as we want. Ionizing radiation saves the step of 'melting', and we no longer need to struggle to convert electrons into free states, but instead have a controllable force everywhere around us." Liang Xian said, "For this reason, our powers have become stronger after coming to this world."

Qin Li's defense was not strong enough to be this strong, but he succeeded due to ionizing radiation. The same was true for Tan Yan. For them, the environment here was full of inexhaustible energy.

"Oh, I see." Ah San nodded woodenly, "This world is full of spiritual energy."

Liang Xian: "...Okay, if you want to understand it this way, it's fine. Anyway, the theory will make sense in the end."

"Well, I'll wait for the day when you figure out the method of cultivating immortals." Asan continued.

Liang Xian: “…”

"What about those light spots?" Qiu Qizheng was still listening attentively, "What are they about?"

Liang Xian still hadn't thought this through and could only shake his head.

"I have a guess," Cui Heyu said at this time, "Although I can't see them, I seem to understand their feelings. You once said that consciousness is the quantum entanglement of a large number of electrons. So is it possible that countless ancestors left their own consciousness in the process of building the Great Wall? In other words, the Great Wall embodies the hopes of countless people, that is, the electronic quantum entanglement of countless people.

Under normal circumstances, these quantum entanglements will not manifest, after all, there is not enough energy around for them to exert their power. But now the environment is full of ionizing radiation, making the electrons that make up these consciousnesses more active. At this time, they feel the power of Tan Yan, or in other words, they are affected by Tan Yan's powerful consciousness, and these consciousnesses are strengthened and respond to Tan Yan. "

Although they didn't understand it, everyone felt that they understood the feeling.

"You mean, Tan Yan's enhanced abilities are not just in ordinary physics, but can also rise to the level of consciousness." Liang Xian narrowed his eyes and suddenly understood how they had awakened their abilities so easily.

"But these consciousnesses are just fragments of thoughts, unlike us who have a continuous ideology. Therefore, they have only one idea, purpose or thought, which is to protect. Because for thousands of years, the Great Wall has been to protect our country's territory from invasion. Their protection complements Tan Yan's ideas. In this special environment full of ionizing radiation, they release a power that others cannot even imagine, creating a miracle." Cui Heyu looked up and said.

Qiu Qizhen and Yan Yongfeng also raised their heads and tried to look at the sky. They could not see these "consciousnesses", but this did not affect their respect for these consciousnesses.

The body and flesh have long turned to dust, but the "consciousness" of wanting to protect this country has not disappeared under the erosion of time. It is this obsession that can create miracles.

"We are so lucky..." Cui Heyu said, "Miracles are low-probability events. If there really is a formula to calculate them, then miracles can only happen with a probability of one in tens of millions or hundreds of millions, which is countless times lower than the probability of winning the lottery. But we can really encounter them."

"I really want to see them," Yan Yongfeng said, "I salute these warriors who have protected the motherland for thousands of years... Eh? I seem to have seen those light spots on the city wall, are they..."

Liang Xian and Asan's eyes lit up. Although Yan Yongfeng was not on the verge of death this time, he still woke up. This meant that being on the verge of death was not an absolute condition.

"Me too..." Qiu Qi rubbed his eyes.

Cui Heyu: “…”

He didn't, he didn't, he also wanted to see... Eh? What are those light spots floating around

The strong desire to "see" the "person" who saved his life became a reality in an extremely harsh environment yet full of opportunities.

The author has something to say: Ahem, the second update will be before 10pm~~

Let me tell you, no matter how many supernatural things there are, it’s all science!!!

ps: Finally someone noticed the cover of this article. It’s the earth in a Rubik’s Cube state. Lazy Qing specially asked someone to draw it. Is it relevant to the topic
