I don't know how much time passed, but my head seemed to have gone numb from the headache, so I fell asleep. In my sleep, there was nothing, as if my eyes closed and opened in an instant.

When Li Lechen woke up again, although he was still not feeling well, he was able to open his eyes.

The ward.

Moonlight streamed into the room through the not-so-thick curtains, allowing me to see my surroundings clearly.

That's right, this is a regular hospital single room. I'm lying on the bed, wearing a hospital gown, and not receiving any IV drips.

Presumably because he wasn't receiving an IV drip, no one was with him in the room.

Li Lechen's gaze darkened. The large amount of information that had flooded into his mind earlier had now been completely sorted out.

Just as I expected.

In addition to the memories of these eighteen years, Li Lechen also has nearly three hundred years of memories in his mind, which are his memories of the future.

He succeeded.

He successfully transmitted his brainwaves from 3301 years ago back into the brain of a newborn baby.

To ensure the body could withstand the additional 300 years of memory data, and to better adapt to life in that era, some sealing measures were taken before the teleportation.

Fortunately, it wasn't activated too early. Even though he's eighteen now and his body is basically fully developed, suddenly receiving this information still caused Li Lechen to be in a coma for two whole months.

It's already late November, and the winds are blowing coldly.

That's not right!

When Li Lechen pieced together the several points in time, he discovered that there was a time rift that had lasted for seven hundred years.

The existence of time tunnels is indeed a proposition that will be confirmed around 2400. After that, humanity will embark on a journey to explore time tunnels, much like its exploration of outer space.

However, because the timeline is unidirectional, the time tunnel is unobstructed to the future, but faces numerous obstacles to the past.

This is quite different from the familiar theory of time tunnels.

Furthermore, since the future has not yet appeared, no energy has been left in the time tunnel. Even if one travels to the future through the time tunnel, one is merely in that future time and space. It is impossible to use the high technology of the future for present purposes, let alone obtain information about the future.

In theory, if future information governs present behavior, it will cause deviations in present behavior, thereby affecting future information, and then future information will no longer be future information.

It's like knowing when you're going to die and how you're going to die, but you can't avoid it no matter what.

Things from the future cannot be brought back, but people can go to the future, just like knowing when you will die and being able to die in advance.

Although a time tunnel cannot reveal the future, it can clearly show the past, even down to a specific point in time, a specific place, and who was chatting with whom and what they were saying.

Any information that has ever truly existed in history is preserved in a spacetime tunnel using special energy, and can be clearly detected as long as the calculations are accurate enough.

However, for eight hundred years after the discovery of time tunnels, research on them remained at this level. History was as straight as it could possibly be, but there was no substantial progress.

In other words, people and other living things could not be transported through the space-time tunnel. Transporting a plant or a brick there would not have been of great significance to humans at that time.

Therefore, one can only witness history with one's own eyes, but cannot experience it personally.

In short, a time tunnel is a ridiculous passage that allows people to travel to the future but see nothing, and to see past events but not return to the past.

After that, humanity faced a major turning point.

Thinking of the accident back then, Li Lechen sighed softly.

Even with advanced technology and near-omnipotence, humanity must maintain a profound reverence for nature. Humanity's dominance on Earth is not due to superior intelligence, but rather to nature's selection. Only after neglecting this for a long time have we realized that nature could also choose other, even many other, species to dominate the planet.

Just like every endangered animal, humans will face the same situation a thousand years from now.

At that time, there were fewer than two thousand people left in the world.

To prevent humanity from falling into despair, a live-streaming platform integrating a time tunnel and binding everyone was developed. This took place around the year 3200, and Li Lechen was the chief designer of this platform.

Afterwards, the technology of creating humans through genetic engineering was legalized, officially recognized, and mass-produced. Over the next two hundred years, the total population expanded to a scale of about 100 million genetically engineered humans and about 3,000 natural humans.

Of course, this is also the maximum population that resources can support.

However, even with ample preparation, the gene pool is running low. Coupled with the near-deterioration of humanity's natural reproductive capacity, human survival has entered a new bottleneck period.

As for issues like social stratification and the vast gap between the rich and the poor, they are insignificant in the face of the question of human life and death.

At the time, Li Lechen and 99 other people participated in a time travel experiment as volunteers, transmitting brainwaves and data from a live streaming system. The destination was September 23, 2000, and the memory was set to activate 17 years later.

After all, it has been proven that living things cannot be transmitted back.

At the same time, in order to ensure that these 100 people wouldn't look out of place when they appeared in the live stream, the concept of a dedicated zone was also instilled in everyone's minds at that time.

There is absolutely no mistake about this; Li Lechen did indeed restart his memories on that day.

Wang Dazhuang was just too burdened with this blame, so much so that he lost more than 20 kilograms in the past two months due to self-blame and guilt.

However, since it was an experiment, quite a few problems arose.

First, one hundred people were teleported over, but judging from the current live streaming platforms, only Li Lechen appeared as a streamer in the exclusive zone.

So, what about the brainwaves of the other 99 people? Can we assume they all dissipated in the time tunnel? Or perhaps they haven't arrived yet?

Secondly, the corresponding data and memory activation of the live streaming system were originally set to the same time, but in fact, the live streaming system arrived almost a month earlier than the preset time, which was August 27, 2018, the day Li Lechen suddenly came into contact with the live streaming system.

Thinking about what he had done over the past month, Li Lechen couldn't help but facepalm.

Because he approached the live-streaming system with the mindset of an ordinary person, Li Lechen had always regarded it as a golden finger, using it to show off and make money at the same time. Unexpectedly, in just one month, his assets were approaching those of Lin Sen.

Moreover, Ouyang Feng's bankruptcy and Kang Shuaifu's death seem to be related to him in some way.

It shouldn't be done in such a flashy way.

This is not what they came here for as volunteers at all.

Finally, and most importantly, the experiment started in 3301. Logically, after 17 years, it should now be 3318. But in reality, it is now 4018, a full 700 years later.
