In the research center's giant holographic projection, the "anaconda" formed by white dust and light constantly rises and falls in the seemingly calm space.

Although there were no physical light rays or optical components in the experimental area, it still formed a perfect closed-loop structure under this unknown mechanism.

This incredible scene left Lü Yongchang's mind completely blank.

He gripped the armrests on both sides of the chair tightly with both hands.

He used so much force that the veins on his hands even bulged out.

After a brief moment of confusion, an unprecedented sense of excitement and curiosity arose spontaneously!

Why? What caused it? What exactly happened in that space? Where did the light go the instant it disappeared?

One question after another arose in Lü Yongchang's mind.

Alongside these questions emerged a faint, elusive inspiration.

This self-circulating, multi-layered structure might be the reason why the computing power of the Level 7 civilization's light computer is so strong.

Time passed slowly, and the image on the projection gradually stabilized.

But the academicians were far from at peace.

At first, because everyone was still somewhat worried about the experimental scenario inside the experimental ship, they deliberately kept their voices down when they spoke.

However, the suppression in the early stages will only lead to a violent and sudden outburst later on.

boom!

When the time reached a certain point, the discussions inside the research center suddenly became loud!

The sound from the research center only began to gradually fade away after Lü Yongchang slowly stood up from his seat.

Everyone knows that.

This is an unknown spatial phenomenon, which also means that after two years of hard work, this battle has finally seen a definite goal.

...

A large amount of detection data flashed across the holographic projection screen.

It's still the same process.

Zero performs initial data processing → a group of academicians perform secondary processing → Lü Yongchang summarizes and analyzes the processed data.

Lu Yongchang stood at the very front of the research center, facing the huge holographic image in front of him.

I'll say it again.

That year, he stood with his hands in his pockets, unaware of who his opponent was.

Of course, Lü Yongchang did not put his hands in his pockets.

Instead, his right hand was writing something on a small holographic image beside him, as if it had a muscle spasm.

The handwriting was like haphazardly growing weeds.

Conservative estimates suggest that only a handful of academicians in the entire Chinese Academy of Sciences can decipher these handwritings.

Suddenly, Lü Yongchang stopped moving.

"A total of 7342 spatial anomalies..."

He muttered to himself, "If every two spatial anomalies correspond to one anomalous structure... that means there are a total of 3,671 spatial anomaly structures in this small experimental area!"

As soon as he finished speaking, even he couldn't help but gasp.

Good grief, are you waging a tunnel warfare?

"No, no, no..." Lu Yongchang shook his head repeatedly, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

To conduct a unified analysis of the entire structure... is an impossible task.

At least for human civilization today, this is far too difficult!

Therefore, their first task becomes quite simple.

Let's break down this nested, overlapping, self-circulating, multi-loop structure.

It sounds simple, but it's not so easy to do.

Unlike a knot, it won't cause any major problems if you untie it incorrectly.

Working on such a precise structure that is operating stably in a balanced state is extremely risky; the slightest mistake could lead to an experimental accident.

Accidents involving high-intensity gravitational sources...

Needless to say, the level of danger of this kind of accident is absolutely the highest.

...

The "unlocking" operation has officially begun.

As is customary, the first step is to explore and model this complex spatial structure.

Thanks to recent breakthroughs in spacetime theory and grand unified field theory, human civilization's observation methods have also improved considerably.

Subtle changes in spatial structure that were previously unobservable are now readily apparent with the new observation methods available.

This is also why [Ten] was so confident in human civilization at that time.

If it were a normal level 5 civilization, even if it opened up its fortress mainframe for the other party to see, the other party wouldn't be able to figure out anything.

That is indeed the case.

Even if the spacetime model is successfully established, the problem remains unsolved.

Whether using conventional models or spatiotemporal models, Lü Yongchang could not find a region where he could "start".

The reason is quite simple.

These corresponding spatiotemporal anomalies are intertwined, and no matter what angle you take, you cannot guarantee the stability of the overall structure.

After agonizing for several days, Yevgeny proposed a plan that could only be described as outrageous.

Since there is no perfect solution, we might as well go straight for the simple and direct exhaustive method and the binary search method.

Unlike the usual "unlocking" process, dismantling this space structure caused by the gravitational source does not require much complicated operation.

All that's needed is to shut down one of the gravitational sources in the Grand Unified Field Generator.

As for the chain reaction that followed...

The main idea is to leave it to fate.

The so-called exhaustive method also aptly illustrates the meaning of leaving things to fate—randomly selecting a lucky gravitational source and shutting it down.

As for the dichotomy method, it is based on the exhaustive method, retains a relatively complete spatiotemporal structure, and then continues to implement the previous step.

It's a clumsy method, but I have to say, it really works.

Given enough experiments, it will eventually be possible to separate out several relatively independent spatiotemporal anomaly structures.

For a time, spacetime disturbances caused by the conflict of gravitational sources occurred continuously within the experimental ship.

This brand-new experimental ship, which had just been manufactured, gradually became dilapidated during repeated trials.

Until a large-scale experimental accident occurred, it completely "disappeared" into the universe.

As usual, the Grand Unified Field Generator drew a lucky winner.

This is the 436th draw.

The previous 435 attempts went smoothly without any major mishaps.

But this time, the lucky winner was clearly short-tempered. Just as the gravity source was shut down, an unexpected accident occurred!

A giant vortex seemed to appear on the ocean of time and space, swallowing up the unified field generation devices that were firmly fixed to the deck.

It wasn't just the device; it even swallowed a section of the experimental ship's deck.

Just as the academicians were staring blankly at the empty vacuum laboratory, a piercing alarm sounded in the research center.

Almost simultaneously, this hardworking experimental ship, which had undergone 435 experiments, transformed into a ball of flame, sacrificing its life to present a spectacular fireworks display for the academicians of the research center.

It really made me cry.

Gazing at the aftershocks of the explosion in the holographic projection, Lü Yongchang's lips twitched slightly, and he glanced at Academician Yevgeny, who looked utterly embarrassed, with a strange look.
