Chapter 517 Mysterious Crystal
The dome, walls and floor of the entire space are made of colorful crystals, except for the area where Luo Mu and the others are standing, which is made up of some kind of extremely solid triangular black stone platform.
The stone platform is fixed above the crystal that surrounds the entire space, as if to prevent people from coming into contact with the crystal there.
Placed in the center of the space is obviously the control center of the "prototype time machine". Although there are some differences in details, it is generally the same as Luo Mu's impression. At the end of the first week of the game, the protagonist of the game he controlled was killed by Futu/Olin. The space brought by AI is not very different.
Before stepping out of the elevator, Luo Mu, who was thinking, immediately asked Olin and Dr. Futu in front of him: "If a battle breaks out, should we prevent the aftermath of the battle from spreading to the surrounding shining crystals?"
"After all, there's a huge difference in difficulty between fighting without scruples and fighting with your hands tied."
It's easy to say that ordinary paradox species from ancient times and the future, but Luo Mu doesn't know the specific combat power of Zhu Shen and Purple God. If it is similar to King Lei Guan and the black Rayquaza, even now he has grown a lot. When you have an advantage in terms of attributes, being able to hold the opponent back is your limit.
At that time, I'm afraid I have to use backup means and notify King Lei Guan to come to rescue.
Therefore, during the delay, it is necessary to ask in advance whether the venue is sufficient for the Swamp Monster to avoid unexpected situations.
Regarding Luo Mu’s question, Dr. Olin also gave her answer.
"Don't worry, these crystals are stronger than you and I can imagine. Even the changes in the earth's crust millions of years ago cannot shake them at all."
Dr. Olin spoke very tactfully, at least he didn't say it outright: "I'm afraid there are very few means to destroy the crystal today."
Luo Mu also understood and stopped asking.
It seems that this kind of crystal, which looks like Tai Jing crystal but is different in some details, is very strong.
Luo Mu stepped out of the elevator, and several researchers behind him filed out. Under the leadership of Dr. Olin and Dr. Futu, they continued to be busy around the slowly rising control center in the center.
Pulling Pi, who was looking around curiously, to him, and sighing that the child probably did not inherit the research talent of his parents, Luo Mu warned: "When the machine starts up, you can take your parents as far away as possible. Do you understand?"
"Why?"
Pipa was a little confused. He also roughly understood the function of the machine from several researchers. Is it possible that Luo Mu was not completely sure about the Pokémon that ran out of it?
He is a championship-level trainer!
"Just think of it as my intuition. That's what you did."
Luo Mu could only attribute the reason for the reminder to his intuition, and his voice was colored with a touch of determination.
".All right."
Pipa nodded slightly and chose to believe Luo Mu.
The control center on the other side.
Because preparations have been made in advance, debugging does not take long.
"call--"
After completing the last step of adjustment together, Dr. Olin and Dr. Fotu looked at each other and exhaled a breath at the same time.
There is no problem with the "Secret Treasure of Zero" as the source of energy, now all that remains is to activate it.
The couple slowly stood up. At this time, their mood was quite strange.
On the one hand, they are finally coming into contact with the ancient times/future of their dreams, and their inner fantasies will finally be realized one day. Envision, hope and excitement alone are not enough to describe their mood.
On the other hand, they are afraid of starting the "prototype time machine".
What if it fails?
What should I do if there is something missing?
With all kinds of complex emotions intertwined, Dr. Olin hugged the scarlet-encapsulated book on his chest tightly, and Dr. Futu grasped the purple-encapsulated book in his right hand, using this action to divert part of his attention.
Several researchers headed by Moru took a few steps back. Some set up camera equipment for recording, and some ensured a path to leave in case of "unforeseen circumstances".
Everyone at Zero Zone Research Institute is looking forward to the success of the research.
Luo Mu also took out two purple-painted master balls with a capital M from his backpack and solemnly handed them to the two doctors.
"President Yeci asked me to bring this to you."
"Great, with this, we can proceed to the next step of preparation for the theoretical perfect time machine!"
The couple showed surprised expressions, and one of them took away a master ball.
The current trial time machine can theoretically only transport paradoxical Pokémon from a certain past/future time and space to this era, but in the imagination of the two doctors, a perfect time machine should have the ability to Capture and conquer function.
Put the Poké Ball into a certain time and space through a time machine, and then capture the Paradox Pokémon and send them to the modern era. The Paradox Pokémon thus brought may even be controllable in theory.
The energy consumed is also much less than that of directly bringing the paradoxical species into the modern era.
The two of them were able to complete the relevant theories thanks to the three paradoxical Pokémon that Luo Mu gave to Yeci, and Yeci sent them one after another that were captured and subdued by the elf ball.
"Come out, Swampert, Dragon, and Thunder Drum."
When Luo Mu pressed the button on the surface of the Poké Ball, a red beam of light fell on the ground and transformed into the figures of three Pokémon.
The Thunder Drum was familiar to the two doctors and Moru. The giant swamp monster had directly defeated the Thunder Drum head-on and defended the 4th Observation Station. Kuailong and the others were no strangers.
Seeing the three generals sent by Luo Mu, several researchers felt relieved.
After all, there were no battle rules here. Before the two doctors officially started the time machine, Luo Mu commanded the three Pokémon to start strengthening crazily.
Swampert used "Fitness", Dragonite used "Dragon Dance", and Thunder Drum, which did not know "Dragon Dance", used "Meditation" which was more suitable for it. Then the two dragon Pokémon used "Dragon Voice Encouragement" together, making the already fierce Swampert even more oppressive.
Then——
"Swampert, Mega Evolution."
Luo Mu lightly touched the evolution key in his hand. Under the wrapping of the bright light, Swampert's life level went a step further and gained more terrifying power.
The moment Mega Swampert completed its evolution, a powerful air wave burst out. If Moru hadn't tightened Papa, he would have been blown away.
In this way, the preparations were completely ready.
Luo Mu looked at the three Pokémon in front of him with high momentum and nodded to the two doctors.
"This is really...extraordinarily cautious."
The couple showed surprised expressions, and were completely shocked by Luo Mu's caution.
Especially the giant Swampert that had completed its evolution again. In their opinion, its strength was probably not inferior to or even surpassed the president's trump card.
However, the sense of security was real.
The couple looked at each other and smiled. They had already discussed who would go first and who would go later, and there was no possibility of fighting.
Dr. Olin and took the lead in walking up to the control center and put the "Book of Vermilion" held in their chests into the groove pedestal tightly.
Immediately afterwards, Dr. Futu also came up and put the "Book of Purple" in his hand into another groove pedestal.
The prototype time machine consumes a lot of energy, and it can only be started three times with the Taijing energy they have collected so far.
The two planned to give one chance to "the past", one chance to "the future", and the last chance to "fate".
The first start of the prototype time machine was given to "fate", which seemed very romantic to them.
As the "starting key", the "Book of Vermilion" and "Book of Purple" carry the authentication IDs of the two doctors. The moment they are placed in the groove pedestal, the pre-set program automatically starts, and a voice broadcast comes from the dome.
[Olin's ID, confirm the connection]
[Futu's ID, confirm the connection]
[Time Machine · Prototype No. 1 will be run for the first time]
[Preparing.]
[Preparing.]
[Ready, Time Machine · Prototype No. 1 starts]
The synthetic mechanical sound that does not sound like a human voice echoes in the empty space. It sounds like it should not be the paradise guardian program AI.
From Luo Mu's perspective, powerful energy begins to gather in the device unfolded in the dome.
The synthetic mechanical sound sounds again.
[Start transmission, random coordinates]
In the center of the device, the continuous collision of powerful energy eventually triggers an unprecedented miracle.
The stable space-time begins to fluctuate, twisting in the vortex of Taijing energy, and connecting to an unknown space-time.
About two million years ago.
The huge figure stood between heaven and earth like a pillar of heaven that connected heaven and earth.
Half of its body was submerged in the turbulent sea, and it held the rope wrapped around the deep earth. With every step it took, the trembling earth would move with it, making a dull roar that resounded through heaven and earth.
Endless rainstorms hit it, but it stood firm and moved forward stubbornly.
From a grand perspective, this is undoubtedly a magnificent and epic feat.
But if we focus on the creatures living on the continent, this is undoubtedly an unprecedented natural disaster crisis.
Scattered in various places in the deep earth, a group of creatures with dark blue bodies and the shape of tortoises are suffering from such a catastrophe, wailing sadly, looking at the huge figure in the distant sky, and their hearts are filled with a sense of powerlessness.
They tried to transform the energy in their bodies into hard crystals in an attempt to protect themselves, but due to the uneven strength, most of the crystals could not withstand the violent vibrations caused by the movement of the earth's crust and shattered.
There are also those with great power and huge energy who survived this crisis by relying on the crystals that are constantly regenerated, and at the cost of their own dormancy.
But the protagonist this time is not "he", but "she".
An individual with a smaller body than its peers, brighter light blue eyes, and brighter rose-red eyeliner, in the face of an unprecedented crisis, madly squeezed its potential and energy.
The brilliant crystals were formed and broken, and the injuries continued to accumulate. Facing this disaster with no end in sight, it could not help but gradually despair.
In the end, there was no energy left in the body, and it was a luxury to want to form a crystal to protect itself.
The shaking of the earth came again, and this time the power was far greater than every time before. At the end of the sight, the earth was like a piece of plasticine that could be kneaded by anyone, rumbling and rising, turning into waves.
Under this shock wave, the probability of survival is zero.
It looks like a tortoise, and it has the ability to fly, but even if it flies immediately, it cannot avoid this wave, not to mention that the energy in its body has been exhausted.
Is this the end?
Taile Bagos looked up at the sky, wanting to see the blue sky again, but the sky had already been covered by the heavy black clouds and rainstorms.
Just like the rain clouds covering the sky, Taile Bagos's heart was about to be completely covered by despair.
It suddenly felt the call from the same source.
I don't know where the power came from, but Taile Bagos produced a little energy that was insignificant in normal times.
It tried its best to use this little energy to attract the call. Before the crazy uplift of the earth and the shock wave mixed in it hit, the brilliant crystal light also fell on the edge of the earth in time.
Realizing that the crisis was finally far away from itself, Taile Bagos could no longer suppress the overwhelming fatigue. Its eyelids drooped, blinked a few times, and then closed completely.
Its consciousness also fell and fell into a deep sleep.
In the crystal light that wrapped itself, Taile Bagos, as if returning to the place where it was born, curled up slightly and turned into a delicate hexagonal crystal without knowing it.
The crystal traveled through time and space under the influence of Taijing's energy and headed for the future.
What happened in the corner of the trembling continent is just a drop in the ocean for those grand existences, so small that it will not even be recognized.
Only in another time and space dimension independent of the world, as eternal as diamond, the deep blue dragon god slowly opened his red eyes because of the fluctuation of time.
In the Padiya region, the deepest part of the zero zone of the Padiya giant pit.
Luo Mu looked at the energy ripples that kept spreading above his head and silently raised his vigilance in his heart.
Mega Swampert, Dragonite and Thunderbolt were also on guard. As long as the creatures that appeared from there showed hostility, they would attack with force and fight shoulder to shoulder without talking about the morality of the rivers and lakes.
After the first start of the prototype time machine, Dr. Olin and Dr. Fortu quietly retreated to a safe distance, each holding one of Papa's hands, staring at the top.
Which era of Pokémon and paradox will be brought back by the first operation of the prototype time machine?
Is it the past or the future?
Several researchers also stared at the top, breathing faster due to nervousness.
The device on the dome kept spinning at high speed, even rubbing out extremely conspicuous electric sparks. At a certain moment when the energy reached the extreme, the bright white light filled everyone's vision.
At the moment when their vision was restored, a certain object fell to the ground, making a crisp collision sound.
Mega Swampert, Dragonite and Thunderbolt looked at the mysterious object lying quietly on the ground, and didn't know whether to release a move or stop to charge.
What is this?
As a human, Luo Mu took much longer to recover his vision than Mega Swampert. When he opened his eyes, there was no figure of any paradoxical Pokémon in his impression in front of him, and Zhu Shen and Zi Shen were nowhere to be seen.
He couldn't even hear any roar, only the heavy breathing of himself and the people behind him.
At the signal of the three Pokémon, he saw the mysterious crystal lying quietly on the ground, which was extremely small in this huge space.
Looking at the crystal, Luo Mu blinked in confusion and murmured in a low voice: "What is this?"
