Chapter 244: 22-minute infinite loop
For five days in a row.
Mo Ziyan spent all his time exploring Outer Wilds.
The more she got into it, the more she discovered how amazing this game was.
For example, to enter the interior of the Deep Giant, one needs to pass through the only counterclockwise rotating waterspout on the sea.
Because the core area is wrapped in electricity, one must hide in the insulating jellyfish and sink with the jellyfish to pass through.
This information.
She found out about it by accident when she was exploring Blackthorn Star, next to the corpse of a Nomai in a tree hole.
Because that person had only been to Shenzhen Superstar once before.
There is also the "Intruder" comet that the Solar Station mentioned that it would send people to investigate.
She put a lot of effort into it and died several times.
Finally, we landed on the icy comet.
Then, when a comet flew near the sun, it happened to be discovered that the ice layer on top would slowly melt as it got closer to the sun, exposing the cracks in the middle.
It was during that opportunity that she entered the comet and found several Nomai corpses and some remaining information inside.
Obviously.
These are the people who were sent here to investigate.
As a result, a mineral called "ghost matter" exploded inside the comet, killing them all.
A large amount of ghost matter flew out of the comet and scattered on various planets. As long as the player gets close to it, his life will be instantly sucked away and he will die on the spot.
"No wonder there are ghost matter on many planets. It turns out that it spreads from here."
"These Norwegian people are truly great for dedicating themselves to scientific research."
Although it was not the first time that he had seen the corpses of the Nomai people, Mo Ziyan still couldn't help but sigh when he saw the corpses floating in the air, who had sacrificed themselves for scientific research.
If she hadn't come here by chance.
I am afraid that even after thousands or even tens of thousands of years, no one will discover them and discover the changes that have occurred in this comet.
The Solar Station, the Hanging City, the Quantum Knowledge Tower, and even the aerospace technology used by players all originated from the Nomai civilization.
But even with such a civilization.
In the end, he couldn't escape the ravages of time.
Died in various ways in this solar system.
Their original purpose was just to find the thing called the Eye of the Universe and uncover the secret of the essence of the universe.
This scientific research spirit is truly admirable.
“This game is truly amazing.”
"It seems like every planet is changing over time."
"They came here to look for the Eye of the Universe, but ended up being wiped out. How tragic."
"In fact, with their technological level, if they don't commit suicide, they should have no problem surviving in this solar system."
“It’s a pity, but it’s also admirable.”
After figuring out the whole story, as well as the method to enter the Deep Giant Star, Mo Ziyan did not linger any longer.
After another new cycle, he flew the spacecraft to the deep giant star and found a waterspout rotating counterclockwise on it.
Through the downward head of the waterspout, she plunged into the terrifying deep sea.
Then, according to the method he had learned, he left the spaceship and hid inside the body of a giant jellyfish. He slowly sank with the jellyfish and passed through the black electric net in the center of the planet.
"Success! It really came in!"
Mo Ziyan was extremely excited in front of the camera.
She worked almost non-stop for such a long time, connecting countless clues together, and finally entered this place that no player had ever entered before.
Such a deeply hidden place.
Even a fool knows that it plays a vital role!
Immediately, she headed straight for the core of the planet, and the excitement and anticipation in her heart overcame her fear of the deep sea.
But even so.
The surrounding scenery is still creepy.
Purple lightning kept flashing in the pitch-black sea.
At the very center of the planet is a huge black object that looks like a heart, with blood vessels extending in all directions.
It’s not a monster, but it’s scarier than a monster.
The audience's palms were sweating.
fortunately.
Mo Ziyan is also a brave man.
After taking a deep breath, he swam directly around the heart and soon found a building wreckage at the other end.
"There's something here!"
"It seems to be the core wreckage of the orbital cannon outside the Deep Giant Star. It turned out to have fallen into a place like this."
Mo Ziyan was pleasantly surprised.
This railgun is exactly the first thing the character sees every time they die and after the time loop, and it is built above the Deep Star.
And she also noticed a detail.
Although the railgun will collapse and disintegrate after each launch, the direction of launch is different.
That is to say.
Although the character experiences a time loop, this railgun is beyond the loop, and its specialness is self-evident.
"Found the entrance!"
After walking around for a while, Mo Ziyan finally found the entrance and entered the wreckage.
Explore carefully and activate the high-tech device in the center of the hall.
Immediately following.
A model resembling a deep-giant star and a railgun slowly rose up.
With a bang, the railgun fired a detector in one direction , extending outward in a straight line.
It seems to be demonstrating the process of railgun firing.
With doubt in her mind, she activated the next switch.
The original deep giant star and orbital gun models quickly shrank, and actually shot out dense straight lines in all directions, like exploding spikes.
final.
At the end of one of the straight lines, it connected to a familiar three-dimensional shape, which made everyone stunned.
Because that graphic is nothing else.
It is the symbol of the Eye of the Universe!
"What the hell? Does that mean the probe launched by the railgun has found the Eye of the Universe?"
"So that's it, this railgun is used to locate the Eye of the Universe!"
"How many times do we have to fire these densely packed straight lines?"
"Great! It can actually send probes in random directions through infinite time loops. As long as there are enough loops, there will always be a loop that can locate the Eye of the Universe!"
“Is it a genius who came up with this idea?”
When everyone reacted, they felt their scalps tingling and were once again amazed at the greatness of science.
The same is true of human progress.
It is through exploring the right path through repeated failed attempts that we have achieved our current glory.
Even though it's just an inconspicuous device.
But it fully demonstrates the true meaning of scientific research!
"This should be the location of the Eye of the Universe."
Mo Ziyan's voice trembled a little. As something that runs through the entire background of the game, the importance of the Eye of the Universe needs no further explanation.
It may even be the key to escaping the solar system.
After so many days of hard work and exploration, she finally found it!
In excitement, he turned on the last switch.
Then a string of strange text symbols slowly floated up.
"Could this be... the coordinates of the Eye of the Universe?"
Mo Ziyan quickly picked up her phone to take a picture of the text. She felt that this thing might come in handy later.
After checking to make sure nothing was missed, she went to the communication slate next to her and translated the conversation information on it.
[Yaro: "I have some exciting news, Privett. The Ember Twins project is almost ready to receive probe data from the Orbital Probe Cannon."]
[Privitt: "No problem, the detector tracking module is ready and can record the flight trajectory of each launch. Once the location of the Eye of the Universe is found, I will notify you directly."]
The Ashes Binary Project?
Mo Ziyan noticed another key piece of information.
These words are specially marked in other colors, and it is obvious that the railgun launch is part of this plan.
Finding the coordinates of the Eye of the Universe is just one step.
She had a feeling.
I have gradually come into contact with the core content of this game, and I am not far from finding a way to escape from the solar system.
"Let's go to the Ash Twins!"
The Ash Binary, as the planet closest to the sun, is also the most complex and discouraging planet.
It is the only binary star system in the solar system.
The two planets orbit each other and have a very complex structure.
One is called the Ash Binary, and its surface is covered with sand.
One is called the Embers binary, and its entire equatorial range is hollow.
The celestial body composed of two planets is called an hourglass binary. Just like an hourglass, sand will flow between the two planets due to gravity.
If the timing is bad.
The building you want to enter will be buried in sand or simply blocked inside.
Mo Ziyan had explored this place many times before.
Either you are drowned by the sand, or there is too much sand to enter, or you simply get lost in the intricate dungeon, which requires very high exploration timing.
Fortunately, she had already explored most of the area, except for the Ash Twins covered by sand.
"Huh? The buildings on the equator seem to be exposed?"
Suddenly, Mo Ziyan, who had just flown over the binary stars, saw the buildings on the equator of the Ash Binary Stars at a glance.
Because the sand has been removed, most of it has been exposed.
As the saying goes, it is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early.
While there was still some time before the sun exploded, she quickly landed and entered the building.
Only then did I realize that the building was actually a jump tower.
“I don’t know if it can still be used.”
The last time she came here, she was sucked away along with the sand before the buildings even appeared, and fell to her death on another planet.
So this time she was extra careful and didn't stay at the equator.
Instead, he was outside the building, staring at the jump room in the center of the equator.
As expected.
After a while, the quicksand connecting the two stars appeared again, slowly approaching this side along the equator.
When the terrifying quicksand landed above his head, something like a small black hole suddenly appeared in the jump room below.
"It still works!?"
This new discovery undoubtedly shocked Mo Ziyan and the audience.
Subconsciously, Mo Ziyan controlled the character to rush into the quicksand and into the room.
Just when she was about to be sucked away, the space twisted.
Teleported to a building you have never seen before.
This building is ring-shaped, and the player character stands inside the ring, relying on gravity to keep standing, and can see the other side of the ring by looking up.
There was endless darkness all around.
It feels like a country turned upside down.
"Could this be... the interior of the Ash Twins?"
Mo Ziyan was stunned. He had not expected that there was such a hidden place inside the Ash Twin Stars.
If she hadn't happened to encounter the quicksand receding and come to the jump tower to wait for the teleportation device to be activated, it would have been impossible for her to discover it.
But think back carefully.
Clues from other places seemed to have mentioned this place before, but she didn't know what it meant.
“This is too hidden.”
“I’ve seen many anchors who have never been to this place.”
"How would we know this place without any clues?"
"One thing leads to another, this is simply a masterpiece of exploration games!"
"Indeed, those who refunded their money after playing for two hours did not feel the true charm of this game at all."
"Could it be that... we are about to pass the level?"
The audience was talking about it, and Mo Ziyan was also very excited.
Controlling the character to continue moving forward, he finally found a long row of conversation messages on the communication slate. The amount of information was huge, far exceeding any previous one!
One in particular.
It completely resolved all their doubts.
[Yaro: "We can start the Ash Twin Project soon! First, the Solar Station will receive an order to launch a fire attack on the Sun to cause it to explode."]
[Yaro: "Using the energy generated by the supernova explosion, go back to 22 minutes ago, issue instructions to the orbital probe cannon, and fire it."]
[Yaro: "22 minutes after receiving these instructions, the solar station will trigger a supernova again and send the detection data to the past, in an infinite loop until the eye of the universe is found."]
[Yaro: "Each cycle generated by the Ash Twin Project will last for 22 minutes. We can terminate it at any time."]
Yes!
It's not an accident that they entered the time loop!
This reminded Mo Ziyan of the black hole and white hole theory he had seen in another place two days ago.
That is to say, the process of an object entering a black hole and then coming out of a white hole has a reverse time difference.
When the energy injected into it is large enough, the object will come out of the white hole before it completely enters the black hole.
The greater the energy, the greater the time difference.
The energy generated by the sun's supernova can make the time difference between the black and white holes reach 22 minutes.
That means going back to 22 minutes ago!
If Mo Ziyan remembered correctly.
The interval between each player starting the game and the sun exploding.
Exactly 22 minutes!
