"The current retrospective point?" Li Shu looked confused.
(Ouroboros) is really transmitting new vocabulary to him all the time.
"That is, the initial time after each time we go back." Alison explained patiently: "As you know, we have been constantly going back in time in order to avoid the final doomsday, and this requires a point in time, which is an "anchor" To determine the time, but because the world itself is also time-permeable, the initial time every time we look back now will move backward."
"But the development of things is always a two-way street. The delay of time will inevitably lead to our demise, but it will also give us room for maneuver - that is, the opportunity to get stuck." Alison explained. : "For example, A does not exist in this timeline, but exists one hour later, and then in the next time backtracking, our backtracking point comes two hours later, then A will not exist in this timeline. It has existed forever, and so have the equipment in your hands."
"Because they were all made in a relatively early period of time, and we have seen these props reappear in time and time again, so these props will exist forever today." Alison Explained: "There are many operations similar to this, such as the current World Federation, which was also established under our influence."
"That's it." Li Shu nodded clearly.
In fact, Li Shu had doubted this matter before when he was developing the world's exploration speed. From a logical point of view, the establishment of the World Federation was really strange.
"Of course, this kind of operation only ensures their existence. As time goes back, they will still flow like pebbles in a river and return to where they were at the original point in time." Alison continued to smile.
"So, are we going to get the props that can ensure that the equipment is not affected by time?" Li Shu asked.
"Yeah." Alison nodded affirmatively.
They first came to a space station and made several space transfers. After the last space transfer, they came to a place that didn't look like a room at all.
The warm breeze blew a burst of sand and dust, and the dry air made Li Shu cough.
The red sun on the horizon fell into the dividing line between the sky and the earth, and the afterglow dyed the horizon blood red.
Corresponding to the red sun on the horizon, directly opposite Li Su, which is also due west, an altar-like device rises from the ground. On the altar, eight rings with a diameter of more than a hundred meters but different sizes overlap one after another. They perform rotational movements according to their respective trajectories.
The light blue light is released from the core of the ring, setting off the afterglow of dusk, as if the sun and the moon shine together.
"The inner space of the Universal Star Orbit is huge, and it also incorporates Senator No. 8's understanding of space. Although it seems to be just a star ring surrounding the battlefield outside the territory, in fact, the space technology it contains allows us to operate outside the territory. You can see the Universal Star Orbit above your head from any corner of the battlefield." Alison explained: "And here, we call it the Star Orbit Center. As the name suggests, it is the core and power room of the Universal Star Orbit, (Ouroboros) All the energy is transmitted to the entire extraterritorial battlefield through here."
"[Countercurrent Hourglass] also takes into account the energy system?" Li Shu said in surprise.
He followed Alison out of the space station, and the soft texture under his feet attracted his attention. He looked around and saw that the so-called star track center was actually a ruins of a city buried in the desert.
"Of course not, that's another piece of equipment." Alison shook her head: "But it's just another prop that matches the [Countercurrent Hourglass]."
"Another prop?" Li Shu looked confused.
"Well, we call it [Fake God]. It has no other abilities. It is only used as an energy source." Alison explained: "It is used to support the [Countercurrent Hourglass] to retrace time, orbit around the universe, and travel outside the territory." The energy source that exists on the battlefield.”
"That means the entire (Ouroboros) energy source is this so-called [pseudogod]?!" Li Shu was slightly surprised.
"Yeah." Alison nodded: "The effect of [Counter Flow] technology is extremely powerful, but the relative energy consumption is also very huge. In addition, we cannot get out of the moon's range, which makes our energy source very limited, even if it is Dark energy, even within the lunar range, is not enough for us. If it weren’t for the [pseudogod] (ouroboros), it would have collapsed long ago.”
"What kind of energy is that? Is it stronger than dark energy?" Li Shu asked curiously.
Even though he is a physics geek, he also knows that dark energy is ubiquitous but cannot be observed by humans, accounting for 68.3% of the mass of the universe.
This kind of energy is not enough for (ouroboros), so what can be more powerful than dark energy?
"Strictly speaking, it is not an energy source, but an energy production device." Alison raised an index finger and explained: "[Pseudogod] can absorb any form of energy and ignore the law of energy conservation to produce A thousand equal parts of energy."
"Furthermore, this process can continue to cycle. In other words, the thousand abilities born from the [Fake God] can be put into the [Fake God] again to amplify the thousand energy a thousand times! "
"Depend on!"
Hearing this outrageous effect, Li Shu couldn't help but curse.
You can violate the conservation of energy to create a thousand copies of energy, and then this thousand copies of energy can be expanded a thousand times, and this cycle continues. Even if you only put one degree of electricity into it, it won't take long to generate enough energy to supply the entire earth. power.
"Is there no limit?" Li Shu asked in disbelief.
"At the moment...no." Alison replied after thinking for a while.
"What's the difference between this and a perpetual motion machine?!" Li Shu didn't hold back for a moment.
"The difference is that one is created out of nothing, and the other requires a physical body." Alison replied: "But if you insist on saying that a perpetual motion machine is true, you are right."
It can generate one thousand copies of energy regardless of the conservation of energy, and it can also cycle infinitely. Isn't this a perpetual motion machine?
"... Outrageous!" Li Shu stood there for a long time, and then uttered these two words: "Is (Ouroboros's) technology strong enough to ignore the conservation of energy?"
"It's not that exaggerated. In fact, although (Ouroboros) has indeed produced a lot of powerful equipment over the years, we still do not have the ability to produce artifacts like [Fake God] and [Countercurrent Hourglass]."
"Then where did these things come from?" Li Shu asked in confusion: "Did they come with the ruins?"
