After returning to the ground, everyone was still surrounding the vine bundle.
"Ah, you guys are out!"
"How many minutes were we in there?"
"It will only take one or two minutes." Wang Lei said.
"Most of the time was spent on the phone with us." Wen Guixin also explained, and then asked curiously, "How was it, what did you gain? Is the speed of time really different?"
"What time is it now?" Xu Xin did not answer immediately, but raised his hand to look at his watch and asked others at the same time.
"Two fifty-eight in the morning." Lou Feier raised her hand and glanced at her watch.
"It's fifty-nine points now." Zhao Xiaochuan raised his left hand.
Two fifty-nine.
The time displayed on Xu Xin's watch was three thirty-eight.
At this time, Ji Chaoyang also stretched out his hand, and Xu Xin saw the time on his watch.
Three thirty-eight, the same as myself.
They stayed in there for about half an hour, and most of the time was spent taking the elevator up and down the underground world.
"Ah, the time has gone back!" Zeng Tao, who was standing next to Xu Xin, kept staring at his watch, and suddenly exclaimed.
Everything was basically consistent with their previous conjectures.
It seems that the situation can be confirmed.
"The situation is like this..."
Xu Xin immediately described what he and Ji Chaoyang had just experienced.
Ji Chaoyang also explained his prediction.
"So, we should not enter until Yingying comes again." Xu Xin finally said, "However, we can start preparing now. After all, Yingying will come back with Wenxi after daybreak."
"Great!" Zhao Xiaochuan clapped his hands and said excitedly, "A world tree affected by the power of time and space, just thinking about it is awesome!"
"Is Wen Xi finally coming back?" Qi Xuefei's expression softened a lot.
"When Sister Wen Xi comes back, we won't have to live in such a tight spot like we do now!" Wang Lei also laughed, "Haha, we'll have our own base."
"The most important thing is that time flows very fast in there!" Qin Yunlong touched his chin and said excitedly, "We can use this to develop rapidly and crazily."
"Hahaha, God is helping me!" Wang Lei laughed even louder.
“We can’t be so optimistic.”
At this time, Shi Wanyun suddenly spoke up and poured cold water on the excited crowd: "The underground world has also been affected by the speed of time. There... is the territory of alien invaders."
Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang both nodded slowly.
The two of them have been thinking about this matter since just now.
And expressed concern about this.
That place is equivalent to the laboratory of alien invaders.
The person in charge of the experiment was Chang Yin.
The speed of time in the World Tree is as fast as the speed of that laboratory.
Even now, the experiments in that underground world are running at an extremely fast speed.
And, most importantly, for people in that area of the underground world, it is very easy to discover the problem of the speed of time flow. They just need to look into the distance.
Those giant flying creatures that were suspended in the air and moving slowly were extremely eye-catching, and anyone with eyes could see that there was something wrong.
And those who saw that situation in the underground world, or the lackeys of the alien invaders, would definitely report it to their superiors.
In other words, there is a high possibility that the alien invaders have already known that the flow of time in that area is abnormal!
I always feel... unsafe.
Every second spent outside the World Tree made the two of them feel uneasy.
After all, the area below is a testing ground for the petrified behemoth. If they don't impose any restrictions and the research below is really successful, they will probably have to face the petrified behemoth, a horrific war machine with immense attack power and super recovery ability!
This is absolutely not allowed!
"... Go back to Area 1, go back to your tree house." Xu Xin thought for a moment, then turned to Shi Wanyun and said, "If the other party contacts you, try to find out what they think of the maturity of the World Tree, and..."
Without Xu Xin saying anything more, Shi Wanyun nodded and said, "I'm just about to go there."
"Then I'll go with you." Lou Feier came over and said, "The other party should have doubts about you. It's safer to go with two people. You can say that I'm responsible for monitoring you and that they are also suspicious of you."
"Let me come along." Jin Yue said. Last time, it was just the three of them.
"That's good. It can serve as an excuse for why I didn't inject the virus into the World Tree." Shi Wanyun agreed.
"Then... I'll go too!" Zeng Tao came closer to the two of them, "I don't quite understand what's going on here..."
"You can't go." Ma Hongwei, who had been silent, suddenly said, "If you don't want to sleep, come and study weapons."
“… No!”
Shi Wanyun and the other two left immediately.
At this time, Ji Chaoyang said: "We only know that if you keep in touch with the outside world in the World Tree, you can make the time in the World Tree and the outside world the same speed. This is the only way we can control time now."
Xu Xin immediately understood what Ji Chaoyang meant, and his eyes lit up: "You mean, I go in and keep in touch with one of you?"
"That's what I mean." Ji Chaoyang nodded, "We can't let the underground world enjoy a much faster time than us."
After everyone figured out everything, they all agreed with this approach.
"Contact me." At this time, Qin Fu, who had been standing aside a little absent-mindedly, said, "If I find anything, I can tell you the first time."
During this period of time, he has been exploring the situation around the World Tree without stopping.
"good."
Xu Xin immediately entered the World Tree, and after trying to wait for three minutes, he contacted Qin Fu.
Sure enough, to the outside world, only a moment passed.
It can be basically confirmed that the moment Xu Xin makes subjective contact with the outside world, the speed of time inside the World Tree will be slowed down to the same speed as the outside world.
The survivors outside the World Tree also began to organize themselves and prepare to move.
These people who were still celebrating their victory and having fun were extremely excited when they heard that they would be able to move into the World Tree today.
Especially after hearing about the situation inside the World Tree, everyone started discussing it frantically.
"What? There is land inside the World Tree? The area is as large as a prefecture-level city?!"
"Fuck, this is outrageous, right? The size of our prefecture-level cities is comparable to the size of some small countries abroad!"
"This is outrageous! This is outrageous!"
"Oh my god, I thought there was a tree house-like structure inside, but it turned out to be a small world!"
"We have our own world now?!"
"I can't believe it..."
"There's even soil? Maybe there's sunlight! Then we can transplant our tree house into the World Tree!"
“You can also farm!”
"A tree house doesn't matter, right? It's such a large area, and it's safe enough, just build a villa!"
“Hahaha, the future is bright!”
"The elders of the explorers are simply a bug in this world..."
Everyone is looking forward to a beautiful and stable life after entering the World Tree.
Some people leave their tree houses outside as watchtowers and artillery positions and build their own houses inside, while others plan to transplant their tree houses inside and continue to live in them.
The explorers did not yet tell them about the difference in the speed of time flow.
After all, they themselves haven't figured out the situation yet, and telling other survivors might cause panic.
Everything is going smoothly.
But the unexpected happened again. Before Xu Xin could breathe a sigh of relief, the situation changed again.
The voice conversation with Qin Fu lasted for about half an hour. During this time, Qin Fu had been investigating and chatted with Xu Xin from time to time.
"Boss, what are you going to do..."
Qin Fu's voice suddenly cut off.
"... ? What's going on?" Xu Xin was startled and quickly sent a call request to Qin Fu again.
The result is... no connectivity.
He seemed to be in an area where communications were blocked again.
However, Xu Xin was not in a hurry, but waited for a few minutes.
Time is fast inside, even if you wait for several minutes, only a moment will pass outside.
But he called again a few minutes later and still couldn't get through.
Xu Xin felt something was wrong.
There won’t be any problem with the speed of time flow!
He hurried back outside.
As soon as the result came out, Qin Fu called him within two seconds.
"Boss, why did you die?"
“…Did you call me back immediately after the call was disconnected?”
"yes."
Xu Xin breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not a big problem.
"Hold on."
Xu Xin continued the voice chat and entered the roots of the World Tree again.
As a result, the voice was cut off the moment he entered.
"?"
Xu Xin looked at his watch.
For a moment, a possibility flashed through his mind.
He can indeed affect the flow of time in the World Tree, but...
This impact... is limited.
Just now, through a phone call, he used an unknown principle to forcibly control the internal flow rate of the World Tree to the same speed level as the outside world, for a full half an hour of outside time.
If it had not been affected by Xu Xin, a long time would have passed inside the World Tree.
He just calculated the time ratio. The speed ratio of internal time to external time should be about... one hundred to one.
About the same as the area ratio.
A hundred minutes passed inside, but only one minute passed outside.
One day passed outside, and a hundred days passed inside.
According to this ratio, if Xu Xin had not had influence, after half an hour outside, about fifty hours should have passed inside, which is more than two days.
But Xu Xin shortened these two days to half an hour.
Then something went wrong.
Perhaps this is the limit of his control.
In the short term, he might no longer be able to influence the flow of time in the World Tree.
In order to verify his conjecture, he went in and out of the World Tree many times, and even waited inside the World Tree for two hours.
Of course, according to the speed of time flow, only a little over a minute had passed in the outside world.
The result is still not good.
There was no other choice, Xu Xin could only find the explorer members again and tell them the situation.
"You can no longer image the flow rate..." Ji Chaoyang frowned.
They now understand the ratio of one to one hundred.
This flow rate ratio is really scary.
We can't let that area of the underground world deteriorate so quickly.
"According to your prediction, all of us have entered the World Tree, isn't that right?" Xu Xin suddenly asked Ji Chaoyang.
"That's right." Ji Chaoyang nodded, "There's nothing abnormal about your sister. She is even very satisfied with the world inside this world tree."
"Then... you guys just go in." Xu Xin said without hesitation, "Go in now."
Based on the experiment just now, he deduced one thing.
The flow of time in the World Tree is actually not chaotic, but very stable.
The time ratio with the outside world is actually about 100:1.
He himself is unstable.
It is he who is affecting the flow of time in the World Tree, and he doesn't know how to control it.
But now, he can no longer affect the World Tree. In simple terms, he needs mana to affect the World Tree, but his mana has been exhausted.
In other words, the flow of time in the current World Tree is very stable!
At least during the two hours he was in there, nothing went wrong.
Combined with Ji Chaoyang's prediction, he felt that the safety within the World Tree should be guaranteed!
His thoughts made everyone agitated.
Wen Guixin said excitedly: "Is it really all right? I've been ready for a long time, just waiting to go in and take a look!"
"That's right. You guys have said so much. I'm really curious!" Wang Lei rubbed his hands. "I want to go in and take a look!"
"They are also ready." Qi Xuefei looked at the other survivors not far away and said, "They just moved here and there was a war. They haven't taken root yet. They can move again at any time."
"In that case, I agree to enter the World Tree." Ji Chaoyang said.
Reached an agreement.
The explorers went to organize themselves, but Xu Xin did not move. Instead, he looked up at the World Tree, thinking about what would happen next.
"At this stage, only you can take us in." Ji Chaoyang did not leave and said to Xu Xin.
"I just tried it inside, and I don't know how to hand over power or part of the authority to you." Xu Xin turned his head and looked at Ji Chaoyang, "Maybe... I have to wait for Yingying to come to know."
Ji Chaoyang nodded: "Okay."
"After I send you in, I will come out and wait outside for Yingying and Wenxi to come back."
“…You’re outside?”
"Well, I don't know when my ability to influence the World Tree will be restored. It's better to stay outside. Otherwise, I will subconsciously affect the flow of time and cause time chaos, which will be bad."
It would be fine if the flow speed increased, but if the flow speed slowed down, causing a situation where one day inside the World Tree is one year outside...
That would be seeking death indeed.
If that really happened, they would not have been inside for even a few minutes, and before they could react, the alien invaders outside would have probably already attacked.
Although the World Tree is very strong now, who knows if the alien invaders have the ability to destroy it.
That is a species that can travel through the universe!
Therefore, as a variable, it would be better for him not to stay in the World Tree before he figures out how to safely control the flow of time in the World Tree.
What if
He should wait outside for Yingying to come back.
It should be soon.
"My prophecy tells me that we will be safe at least until your sister Xu Ying comes. Maybe there is no need to worry so much." Ji Chaoyang said.
Xu Xin smiled slightly: "Are you a little too confident in your prediction? Maybe it is because of my decision that we are safer? If I go in... Don't forget, your prediction can be changed."
Ji Chaoyang was silent for a moment, then said, "You're right. Perhaps I've been relying too much on this ability of prediction recently."
"This ability is so strong, who can not rely on it? We all rely on your ability." Xu Xin reached out and gently touched the roots of the World Tree, "However, we still need to be cautious where we should be cautious."
The following things went very smoothly.
Some of the survivors were still partying, while others had already gone to sleep, thinking that they would move after daybreak.
But when they heard that they were going to move into the World Tree immediately, they immediately became more energetic.
Xu Xin directly put everyone into his bracelet and then brought everyone in.
After seeing the world inside the World Tree, everyone cheered and jumped for joy.
The land was very vast and had no vegetation, so everyone began to discuss it heatedly.
"It's so bald here! Let's plant something!"
"Yeah, this place looks so desolate, it's kind of affecting my mood!"
"The soil in this world tree is so thick, I want to dig deeper!"
"Do you think there are minerals and other resources in the World Tree?"
"If you don't have any, go out and dig."
"It's just as dark inside the tree as outside!"
… etc.
Dark sky.
Xu Xin frowned.
If the day and night in the World Tree were the same as outside the tree...
"There could be a situation where the day-night cycle is a hundred days."
Ji Chaoyang seemed to understand what Xu Xin was thinking, and said to him: "Don't worry too much about this. It will not have much impact on the growth of the plants. I just tried it, and we basically each have a tree house core. Of course, it would be even better if we could build a building like the one in Crystal City here."
"Maybe."
Xu Xin didn't stay in there for long.
After Ji Chaoyang and others said "Don't worry", he walked out of the World Tree and returned to his tree house.
He was counting down in his mind.
With every second that passed, nearly two minutes passed inside the World Tree.
Half an hour outside means more than two days inside.
And it’s often night.
It's amazing.
When he enters next time, it should be in perfect order, right
It just so happened that he was too lazy to care about these things, so he just sat back and enjoyed the results.
Wenxi and Yingying will be back soon.
The most important reason why he did not stay in the World Tree was that he wanted to see the two women as soon as possible.
He didn't want to wait in there for a few days, ten days, or even dozens of days.
"Come back soon..."
“嘤…” Coco lay on her back with her belly exposed in his arms. She felt very comfortable being touched, and her big tail kept wagging.
