Chapter 864: Chapter 476: The Laboratory Full of Doubts

“99600 points of Different Dimension Energy?!” Yan Junze was somewhat dumbfounded.

But upon further thought, this Great Rewind not only crossed time but directly crossed the space of the current world, so it was understandable that it consumed such a massive amount of energy.

Fortunately, he had harvested a batch of energy-worth strangenesses in Litecar City of Olay Great Capital, otherwise, he would have been powerless in the face of this Rewind.

And now, there was another problem.

Looking at the text prompt appearing in front of him, especially the prompt that he could only watch for 7 minutes and 39 seconds as a bystander.

Yan Junze didn’t expect that after spending such a colossal amount of energy, he could only observe a few minutes’ time as a bystander, which meant that more energy was spent on the crossing itself.

Thinking about it, he corrected his previous statement: “Other factors remaining the same, but I want to change the target time, set the target time to 40 minutes before the explosion occurred in Laboratory 01 at Fangde Matrix Experiment Center.”

Yan Junze still remembered, an hour before that explosion, Professor Qiu Yuan whom he served and the core staff of the experimental center had a meeting, and everyone’s expression was very somber after the meeting, with no clue what was discussed.

Then, the deputy director Dong Sheng came over, telling everyone to work overtime in the evening, and Professor Qiu Yuan seemed somewhat discontented, mumbling softly.

At that time, he was also asking Professor Qiu if there was anything wrong at home; if it was just routine work and did not involve critical experimental links, he could cover for him for a while.

But Qiu Yuan did not say anything, just shook his head.

Now that he thinks about it, Professor Qiu seemed to have a barely noticeable smile on his face at that time; it seemed like a bitter smile.

As for the affairs of the senior laboratory staff, Yan Junze did not feel it was appropriate to inquire and gossip around, so he just kept it to himself.

Perhaps, Professor Qiu knew something.

And now, traveling back, Yan Junze simply wants to find out what exactly was discussed at that secret meeting.

But due to the limitations of the travel time, he guessed that the key content these people discussed was likely in the second half of the meeting, so as long as he could clearly hear what they said later, it would be fine.

[Energy consumption and other conditions unchanged, do you wish to enter now?]

The prompt appeared again.

“Enter.” Yan Junze made his decision.

The very next second after making the decision, he didn’t immediately feel his feet floating off the ground nor a sense of weightlessness, but rather, the Void in front of him suddenly stretched far and wide.

It felt like he was completely extracted, distanced from that piece of the Void, located in an even larger and more expansive Void.

At the same moment, sensing something different, Yan Junze looked down and found his body had disappeared; he couldn’t see his feet when he looked down, and trying to lift his hands was only a feeling of lifting, without actually seeing his arms.

“Could it be, I’ve been dissolved into particles?”

A peculiar sense of horror appeared; his brain turning, and nothing was around, except that he could still see and was conscious, he realized his body seemed to have merged with the Void.

He continued to be pulled further away, and the Void he was in just now completely disappeared.

Suddenly, the scenery around him changed dramatically.

The scenery in his view suddenly froze, and he found himself in a room.

This was a meeting room, primarily decorated in white, with a light yellow conference table in the middle surrounded by five people.

Seeing these people, Yan Junze felt as if he had suddenly fallen into a dream.

Memories of his past life surged at this moment, as if he had returned to his former life.

The five people in the meeting were the director of the laboratory Yan Lizhong, deputy director Dong Sheng, and three key figures from Laboratory 01, with Professor Qiu Yuan, whom Yan Junze served, included.

When he first appeared in the meeting room, he could only see these people talking, but with no sound. Approximately four to five seconds later, the sound suddenly started and poured into Yan Junze’s ears.

At this point, he lowered his head and still could not see his own body; he did not understand in what form he existed in this space.

In the meeting room, it was Director Yan Lizhong who was speaking: “The Quantum Atlas has essentially taken shape, and even a minor parameter adjustment can cause great turmoil. Therefore, I do not recommend making any adjustments.”

Deputy Director Dong Sheng said, “It’s not exactly a minor adjustment, just changing the operational environment, the quantum convergence point remains unchanged, and all energy nodes also remain stable. I was thinking if we could adjust it from a deviated environment on the dimensional crack to a purer ‘Void state’, it might achieve our goal of traveling through time.”

Yan Lizhong shook his head, looking at the other three key professors of the laboratory, “What do you think?”

Professor Qiu Yuan said: “I think it’s feasible. Our research has reached a bottleneck, unable to go any deeper. If we do not change the method, we might end up in a vicious cycle, never reaching a conclusion.”

Another Professor Zhang, however, shook his head, “I think this is very risky, the operating environment of the Quantum Atlas was locked and implemented after our meticulous calculations previously. Now, changing it, especially to the ‘Void state’ which we still cannot fully grasp, I think the risks are unpredictable. If it causes an energy surge, the consequences could be unimaginable.”
