"The reason... we didn't know at first, since all living beings are equal under the destructive power of a star level. We only figured out a pattern when it dropped to the level of a city. First, Haruhi Suzumiya cannot die; she is the center of this world."
Lin Yi nodded.
"Secondly, the Earth cannot be destroyed. This is the stage for everything, the premise of everything."
"Finally, the members of the SOS Brigade cannot die."
Lin Yi frowned, and just as he was about to say something, Siegtell spoke up: "I know what you want to ask. The first and third overlap, but that's the truth. It's just that the priorities are different. If Haruhi Suzumiya dies, it will loop back to the very beginning, while if a member of the SOS Brigade dies, it will loop back to the moment before the event that led to their death."
"Of course, the pioneers who caused non-star-level transmigrators to not even have the qualifications to enter and could only fight the original inhabitants with human-level power did not do nothing. The first thing was the item you got. It was technology that the Transmigrators Alliance seized in the war against the Information Integration Thought Entity in the previous ten cycles. It can at least restore some of your coping power."
Lin Yi noticed a word: "war?"
"This is the second 'legacy' left by the pioneers. You don't actually think the Transcendent Alliance can survive in this world by controlling those tycoons and finance, do you?"
Clenching his fist, Sigtel's tone became excited: "It was war. Twenty-one wars broke out in the Milky Way, sixty-nine wars encompassed the solar system, seven hundred and seventy-two wars on the ground, and more than three thousand local wars, which established our Transcendent Alliance's existence and status in this world! One cycle could not leave any impression on the natives, so we continued the war in the second cycle. If the second cycle was not enough, we would have a third cycle. Now, forty-eight cycles have passed, and the natives still have no memory of the future, but they have left behind their fear of us."
"Even though we are now so weak, the lingering fear still prevents us from making any rash moves. This is the legacy left by our predecessors in this world, and it is the foundation upon which we are able to exist here without being threatened."
Lin Yi said calmly, "They failed."
"...It was a failure. Some of the pioneers died in the war, and some left because they couldn't see any hope. Now, apart from accepting 'loan sharks,' only those of you who 'smuggled' yourselves into this world will be able to enter."
Raising his head, Siegtell looked directly into Lin Yi's eyes: "So we won't care what you did before. As long as you can complete the Transcendent Alliance's mission in this world, everything from the past will be wiped clean!"
Information Integration Thoughts: Chapter 666 The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (8)
Sigtel's promise meant nothing to Lin Yi; what truly interested him was the Transmigrators Alliance's experiences in this world.
Contrary to what he initially perceived, the Transcendent Alliance, having gone through forty-eight cycles, did not maintain restraint in this world. Instead, it continued to overwhelm the natives with its power. However, due to the mandatory settings of "cycles" and "power restrictions," the Transcendent Alliance ultimately failed.
This is not hard to understand. Ordinary players are destined to lose to players who spend real money, and players who spend real money are destined to lose to players who use cheats. No matter how much cheaters try to cheat, they will be slapped down by the game master. As long as the "cycle" and "power limit" settings are not resolved, the Transcendent Alliance is destined to be unable to achieve a complete victory in this world...
In a sense, this can be considered a typical example of being overturned by the enemy's "the world" at the last moment before victory?
The current situation is that most of the Transmigrators Alliance have abandoned their mission and left, leaving only a handful of people behind, mostly loan sharks and illegal immigrants. The Transmigrators Alliance offered to forgive their "debts" and "past" in exchange for their actions in this world, but even the true elites of the Transmigrators Alliance suffered a crushing defeat here, so naturally they can't really rely on these people to solve the problem.
Therefore, most of the time, the transmigrators of this world were allowed to act on their own. Relatively speaking, Siegtell was a radical. Not only did he not stop, but he also encouraged Lin Yi to continue to "sacrifice" himself. For this, he did not hesitate to give Lin Yi one of the few remaining "closed spaces (alienated version)".
Of course, Lin Yi also made a guarantee after discovering the truth.
"I will have the remaining transmigrators in this world cooperate with you as much as possible. If there are any other discoveries, it will not be a problem to send the elite of the Transmigrators' Alliance back again—at least until the fiftieth cycle, we will still have the ability to fight these natives."
The implication is that if it still doesn't work after fifty attempts, then give up completely.
That makes sense. With the Transmigrator Alliance's power system, reaching the Star level is already at the top. No one has ever reached anything higher. How can they fight against the natives after their Star level has been nerfed to nothing?
After all, using the "closed space" props also requires ability; if you don't even have the ability to use the props, then you are truly utterly powerless.
Despite learning about these things, Lin Yi's initial plan remained largely unchanged.
The Transmigrator Alliance's previous successes were mostly based on war, and even then, it was a war of one against three. Maintaining their advantage was already a feat, and they couldn't expect to gain much in terms of technical intelligence. Even though Siegtell developed the entire database within the Transmigrator Alliance, Lin Yi still couldn't find any technical intelligence about the future human organization. Therefore, to understand this technology, they still had to rely on the future humans themselves.
Lin Yi also gave Siegtell an excellent reason for this.
"The principle behind the loop may be related to time travel by people from the future. After all, the phenomena of the two are too similar. If the loop can be solved by time travel by people from the future, then the actions of the Transcendent Alliance may be restarted."
The day after persuading Siegtell with this reason, Lin Yi received a contact from a person from the future—Mikuru Asahina.
"We can give you our technology, but... I have one condition."
----------segmentation----------
After their last meeting at the coffee shop, Lin Yi awaited the conditions from the future person before him.
Obviously, given Asahina Mikuru's personality, it's impossible for her to make such an "excessive" request; it could only be an instruction from the future human organization behind her.
From her hesitant tone, Lin Yi slowly realized what they were planning.
"SOS Brigade?"
"Yes... I hope you can join the SOS Brigade like Koizumi-kun and Yuki..."
After cautiously glancing at Lin Yi's still expressionless face, she quickly changed her words, "Um... if you don't want to... your other companions... are fine too..."
Through intelligence gathered by the organization, the people from the future obtained crucial information that Lin Yi "possesses extraordinary power." If possible, they would like to keep this dangerous otherworldly person, Lin Yi, under surveillance next to Haruhi Suzumiya. However, this is at least the best option. If that doesn't work, they can settle for second best—even if he is unimportant, as long as he is from another world, they can extract information from him.
Of course, this information was only given to Mikuru Asahina by the Future Human Organization as a last resort. I didn't expect her to say it so directly. It can only be said that it is her personality. I can't expect too much.
only……
"I reject."
Lin Yi's answer was clear enough.
Should other time travelers be sent to join the SOS Brigade?
If it were within the former Transmigrator Alliance, they might be able to find someone willing, but given the average psychological quality of the transmigrators remaining in the world today, Lin Yi believed that such a person did not exist. Even coercion would not work, as no one could guarantee that he wouldn't do something insane under extreme circumstances.
It's even more impossible for Lin Yi to go there. Putting aside the fact that he doesn't have a hobby of being kept in a cage like a monkey for people to admire, the fact that Haruhi Suzumiya might be using methods left over from the "fragments" means that Lin Yi is unlikely to easily take risks.
The information left behind by the Golden Clan cannot be completely trusted, but it cannot be ignored either.
Under Mikuru Asahina's timid gaze, Lin Yi frowned slightly.
"...In exchange, I can tell you about the power I possess and the principles behind its generation."
"Eh?"
Lin Yi didn't waste any time saying anything to the person behind Asahina Mikuru, who was clearly clueless and just acting as a messenger. He simply waited for the response from the person behind her.
as predicted.
"Ring ring ring——"
"I'm sorry, I need to go outside to take this call."
A few minutes later, a dejected Mikuru Asahina returned to her seat and placed a small stack of documents from her handbag on the table.
"This is TPDD's information, and yours..."
After quickly reviewing the completeness of the information, Lin Yi didn't waste any more words and directly activated "Closed Space (Alienated Version)." Then, looking bewildered, he threw a punch in front of Mikuru Hina, who had just been suddenly pulled into this space.
Two seconds later, the futuristic woman, looking dazed, sat back down. Lin Yi took out a book that had been prepared beforehand from the seat next to her, placed it in front of her, and left.
The stiff head slowly moved, and finally the title of the book on the table came into view.
"The Theory of Compatibility"
P.S.: The Theory of Relativity (Chinese title: 相对论)
Information Integration Thoughts: Chapter 667 The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (9)
"this one?"
The time was the day after the transaction with that "otherworldly person" named Yu Tai Shinichi, and the location was the house that Asahina Mikuru rented in this era.
The exact reason is unknown, but it seems that with the appearance of Haruhi Suzumiya, the number of people from the future who can travel through time to this era is extremely limited, and there is absolutely no possibility of traveling to earlier eras. Otherwise, people from the future would not have allowed Mikuru Asahina to continue to be monitored by people from the future, even though they knew that she had a weak personality.
Because this situation is different from the past, and can be considered the "first contact" between people from the future and people from another world, the organization that contacted Asahina Mikuru from the future did not ask her to explain easily last night, after all, Asahina Mikuru seemed to be in a somewhat strange state at the time.
Only today did a person from the future with higher status and authority officially make contact with Mikuru Asahina, and everyone expected to see something "unbelievable." After all, it wasn't just the "organizations" of that era that dared not act rashly; even the "well-informed" people from the future were affected. For them, it was indeed unbelievable... only on a different level.
"The Theory of Compatibility"
A book that doesn't need to be available in the future, or even in the early 21st century, but was already rampant in the last century.
Did the beings from another world gain immense power through such a theoretical book?
"Could it be a nuclear weapon?"
Some people from the future have speculated: "Did they use a space compression technique to launch nuclear weapons directly, disguising it as an attack?"
But this was quickly rejected: "If that's the case, they have no reason to expose their secrets... Not to mention the authorities, there are many ways to stop a nuclear explosion in the future, and the footage recorded by Mikuru Asahina on the scene doesn't seem to be the case either."
Some people also expressed doubts about the authenticity of the information: "Perhaps that otherworldly person is deceiving us. After all, Asahina Mikuru's personality is too weak, and she wouldn't dare to act rashly even if she was deceived."
"If it's a deception, we, from the future timeline, will not stand idly by."
People from the future are never just a single point in time, but rather the future of the 21st century, the future of the 21st world, and the future of the future of the 21st world... This continuous existence is due to the prohibitions on time travel, which prevent them from freely revealing information to their past selves. However, if there were any problems with information from another world, someone from their future would definitely come to warn them. But in the current situation, no people from the future have arrived, which means that the information is completely genuine.
With this in mind, another scholar, a type of future human, proposed the hypothesis: "Could it really be like what we see?"
"Doctor, please speak your mind boldly. If your ideas are proven correct, the organization will certainly reward you handsomely. This is our first contact with people from another world. If we still cannot determine the principles behind their abilities after they have already demonstrated their power, we are likely to be at a disadvantage in future conflicts—this is very important!"
"Ahem, I'm just making a hypothesis... Look here, after this otherworldly being pulled Asahina Mikuru into the 'closed space,' a highly dense energy layer seemed to appear on the surface of his fist. At first, I thought it was some kind of weapon we had never encountered before, but after seeing this book..."
"The Theory of Compatibility"
"After reading this book... I was reminded of an experiment from the 22nd century."
Under the doctor's guidance, many people from the future have recalled that experiment, which was quite famous in the history of humanoid futures, after all, it represented the complete transition of "nuclear batteries" from the laboratory to civilian use.
And the name of that experiment was—
"An ultracompression fission test?!"
"Yes, in order to bring the 'nuclear battery' from theory to practice, the fission effect must be controlled within a certain range. Therefore, the world government at the time launched the 'hypercompressive fission experiment'. Not to mention the later discovery of a suitable power to neutralize the radiation, at least in the previous few failed experiments... that is, in the absence of an experiment that could control the fission rate, a similar situation occurred."
A light appeared on the surface of the fist, like a faint glow hidden behind a shadow.
"At the same time, energy compressed in a small space will burst out in the form of light, but under the compression of dense matter, it will present a different situation - like when we throw firecrackers into a box, the impact, temperature, sound... everything is trapped inside."
He let out a breath, his tone sounding somewhat tired: "This is the 'hypercompression fission experiment'. The experiment was ultimately successful, but at the cost of sacrificing more than 99% of the output power, because they did not have the ability to compress the fission effect within a spatial scale. Simply put, the material's hardness and heat resistance were insufficient."
The person from the future wasn't stupid, and after the doctor's explanation, he understood what he meant.
"You mean, this otherworldly being somehow detonated a nuclear bomb in his hand, and then used his fist as a 'box' to compress the fission effect—and threw it out?"
As a scientist from the future, the doctor was originally reluctant to use a word like "drop," which has no physical meaning. However, looking at the scene of the "otherworldly being" throwing a punch on the screen, he could not think of a better description and could only nod helplessly: "Yes, this is the only reasonable explanation I can think of from a scientific point of view."
Immediately, the research institute was filled with disbelief.
"How can it be?!"
"Is this considered a nuclear punch?!"
"Perhaps it's called the Uranium Light Wave Palm."
Are all people from other worlds monsters?
"Can everyone from another world create a nuclear explosion with their bare hands?"
"This unscientific!"
……
"Quiet!"
After barely managing to control the situation, the future person with the highest authority present had a serious expression: "Determine as quickly as possible whether the doctor's deduction is correct, even if it comes at a necessary cost. Didn't that otherworldly person want our technology? We only gave him a small portion before, and we'll trade the rest with him later! Also, find out whether every otherworldly person can use this 'hyper-compression fission' fist or just him."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Finally, I will apply to my superiors to establish a dedicated development department to research this capability. Anyone interested can apply to join."
Lin Yi, who was still in the early 21st century, obviously had no idea that the punch he used to fool others, combined with a copy of "Relativity" that could be found everywhere on the road, would have such great power that it would swerve a future that was heading towards science in a completely different direction...
Information Integration Thoughts: Chapter 668 The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (10)
Lin Yi was unaware of how the people from the future were processing the information he had given them. In general, what he was doing was no different from what the people from the future were doing; he was analyzing the data that the people from the future had traded to him.
It seems that they anticipated that Lin Yi would not honestly hand over all the information at once, so the information they provided about "time travel" was extremely limited. However, this limited information was already sufficient, especially regarding the existence of TPDD.
TPDD, short for "Time Plane Destroyed Device," is a mechanical, intangible device existing in the brains of people in the future. It is used to travel between the past and future, but carries the risk of disrupting the existing timeline; therefore, its use requires strict review and multiple layers of approval.
In the theory of time, the future people of this world do not follow the principle of "singleness of time". They describe time as "the accumulation of countless moments on the time plane". That is to say, time is not continuous, but the discontinuity is close to zero. The past also affects the future, but does not determine the future. This gives them the possibility of using a time machine to manipulate the past.
Of course, this operation must be precise enough; otherwise, even if the time is not continuous, the impact will be too great and will lead to huge changes in the future.
This situation gave Lin Yi a basic understanding.
In general, it's roughly half of the "parallel universe" theory. Unlike parallel universes that are basically unrelated after completion, in this world's future people's time theory, the "past" and "future" can influence each other at any time. However, unlike the world of "single time", it won't happen that if I kill a cat in the past, that cat and its offspring will completely disappear from the future. They will only change to a certain extent (maybe the cat is injured in an accident, or maybe the cat is taken away for sterilization).
In this state, the connection between time periods is subtle yet stable, and problems such as the "grandmother paradox" are explained to some extent, but the occurrence of certain "unexpected factors" cannot be avoided. For example, Haruhi Suzumiya in this era is such an "unexpected factor," and it is also the most serious situation that future people have encountered so far.
Her appearance caused a spacetime tremor, preventing future people from traveling to the past beyond this era as they used to. Even the appearance of Mikuru Asahina in this era was a coincidence. It is not impossible for other future people to reach this place, but it requires them to pay a considerable price and endure considerable danger.
In addition, the intelligence from the future people also includes information about another identity of Mikuru Asahina—that of a time resident.
In a general sense, time scouts can be thought of as police officers, but their missions encompass all Earths across all timelines. They don't deal with civil disputes, but rather with events that cause time distortions—large-scale changes to "established events" (that will steer humanity's future toward the future in which future humans currently reside).
According to the time traveler's description, most of the past time distortions were caused by the use of TPDD, but this one that occurred in the early 21st century was an exception. The appearance and abilities of Haruhi Suzumiya are still a mystery. The time traveler had to keep Mikuru Asahina by her side as a monitor, hoping that one day the problem could be completely solved.
The interaction with Lin Yi, this "otherworldly person," was completely unexpected. In other words, it did not fall within the scope of what they insisted on as "established matters," that is, "inevitable events that cannot be changed."
