Volume 5: Eternity Chapter 4 Hopf Bifurcation
Ai Bishui didn't say anything else. She stood up and walked to the windowsill, looking at the coastline in the distance without saying a word.
The house was built on a hillside, a little further away was the windbreak forest on the coast, its green leaves dripping with water. Further away was the golden beach and the deep blue sea, which was filled with a metallic luster, and was separated from the light blue sky by only a straight line without width.
Although it is still a long way from autumn, a few leaves are still fluttering on the treetops of the windbreak. They are spinning and dancing with the hot air rising from the ground, and they hang in the air for a long time.
Ning Yu'an looked at the silhouette of another girl in the sun. The thin shirt set off her figure, making her look more like a painting.
She stood up from the bed involuntarily and slowly walked to the windowsill.
"I am a leaf on the wind.Watch how I soar."
The voice of this sentence was very, very soft, but Ning Yu'an still heard it, probably because the surrounding environment was too quiet.
There was no car on the coastal avenue at the end of the woods, the small vendors that had been bustling downstairs were gone, and the fighter planes training in the sky had completely disappeared. This scene gave people the feeling that there were no humans on the earth anymore.
“It feels like we’re stuck in time.”
Ning Yu'an couldn't help but mutter to herself, but she couldn't think of any foreign words.
"Huh? Trapped in time?"
She was startled by the sudden reaction. She thought that this weird girl would not respond to her.
"I just ... said it casually, because there is no one and no sound in the world now, as if time has stopped..."
"You mean there's no reference point so I can't judge time... but I'm trapped in time..."
Ning Yu'an saw the girl in front of her talking to herself and lost in thought again. She reached out her hand to her hanging hair and started fiddling with it again. The focus of her pupils changed.
"Yes! You just said 'time is still stopped', do you mean time has stopped before?"
The sudden turn of head and the question scared Ning Yu'an. She immediately recalled that Fang Cheng often did this before.
These two people are so similar, but this girl is much prettier than him.
Ning Yu'an suddenly felt that if her childhood friend was not Fang Cheng but the girl in front of her, it would be good too, even better. When they were compared, it was obvious who was better.
"It's that the aliens stopped time and asked us to kill all the monsters on Earth one by one... I don't know how they disappeared... Although I'm still dizzy and don't know if this really happened..."
In fact, when Ning Yu'an was sleeping with her head resting on Fang Cheng's shoulder, she felt that everything that had happened before was probably just a dream, and maybe after a good sleep they could return to normal life.
"Did the alien tell me how he stopped time?"
"Let me think about it... Fang Cheng told me that they constructed a ring-shaped space, and then let the solar system rotate in circles inside that space, so that its time seemed to be stopped relative to the static position..."
Ning Yu'an told Ai Bishui all the information she remembered about time stopping, as well as what she had seen. She felt that she would definitely be able to discover something from it.
"How can space move? How does space define angular momentum? Didn't he think of this?"
"This... I don't understand even if you ask me... Anyway, that's what I said at the time... Maybe I remembered it wrong..."
The girl in front of me turned her head back again, and her hand that was pulling her hair never let go. After twisting the delicate and smooth hair in her hand a few times, she skillfully let it spread out.
She probably hasn't washed her hair in a few days... How did she manage to keep her hair shiny without split ends? But now doesn't seem to be the time to ask such questions.
"I don't think it's that simple... Is it possible that it's not space-time that is a loop, but only time itself that is a loop? In fact, time is not one-dimensional in their universe. You were just traveling in another time dimension..."
"Well... don't ask me anymore... I really don't know... wait until he's done washing and you guys can discuss it..."
She regretted it immediately after she said this.
“…”
"No need to discuss, I roughly know what's going on. Although some details are still unclear, it seems that this situation may be the most likely..."
The voices were suddenly drowned out by a roar that suddenly exploded in the sky, and both of them were shocked by the loud noise and subconsciously squatted on the ground.
Waves of continuous shock waves came from the direction of the sea, passed over the buildings and rushed towards the depths of the continent. The whole world shook, and the sound of rocks and metal colliding was heard everywhere.
Ning Yu'an originally wanted to wait until the shaking was over before getting up to take a look, but the ground was shaking wave after wave with no sign of stopping. This was definitely not an ordinary earthquake.
"Do you have earthquakes here too? But why do they feel so mild..."
She realized at night that the magnitude of the current earthquake was indeed much smaller than the previous magnitude 7 or 8 earthquakes, but it was continuous, and the problem was that their home was really not in the earthquake zone.
She slowly stood up, holding onto the edge of the wall. The scene once again severely impacted her worldview.
Thick smoke billowed from the eastern horizon, and black dust slowly approached the coast like a wall...
What she doesn't know is that the Earth is now experiencing the largest volcanic eruption in its history, surpassing the Siberian Traps event..
Active volcanoes around the world suddenly erupted at the same time.
