Hearing Kong Ling say this, Lin Yue suddenly wondered what would happen to the space if she weren't here anymore? And what would happen to Kong Ling?
"Emptiness, what would you do if I ceased to exist?"
Kong Ling moved closer to Lin Yuefei: "If I said I would disappear, would you still do it?"
Lin Yue was taken aback.
Disappear? Is it the kind of disappearance she's thinking of? Or does it just mean disappearing here, and Kong Ling will return to her original place? If it's really disappearance, then should she still do this?
Lin Yue was torn. She longed to go back to the past and save her parents, but she also didn't want Kong Ling to disappear.
Seeing Lin Yue so conflicted, Kong Ling didn't give an answer for a long time. She wasn't angry or unhappy. She just felt that she also had a place in Lin Yue's heart, a place equal to that of her parents. Yue Yue was also afraid that she would disappear.
"Kongling, you..."
"Don't worry, when I say disappear, I mean go back to my place. Since you're not here, the space will also disappear when you leave, and everything inside will be squeezed out. You have too much stuff in your space, so you'd better find a place to clean it out, otherwise it might just be squeezed out of the research institute's laboratory and the laboratory might explode."
"Are you really just going back?" Lin Yue stared at Kong Ling, not missing a single expression.
"Of course, I control the space. If the space is gone, I will definitely go back. It's like I've completed my mission, gone back for a vacation, and then I'll take on the next mission."
Sigh! I wonder if she'll be able to escape unscathed this time. I hope her beauty will remain unchanged. A little punishment is a little punishment; everyone gets punished before.
She was quite worried inside, but she didn't show it on her face at all. Her ethereal micro-expression management had long been honed to perfection in countless time periods. It's just that that's her personality; she doesn't like to pretend in everyday life.
Lin Yue didn't notice anything amiss and breathed a sigh of relief; at least it wasn't the "disappearance" she had imagined.
Cang Yu kept looking at Kong Ling, his eyes flickering, but he didn't say anything.
That night, the three of them and the two wolves ate until very late before resting. Lin Yue got drunk, the first time in her nearly thirty years of life.
The drunk Lin Yue was very quiet, simply nestled in Cang Yu's arms, letting him help her clean up. After cleaning her, Cang Yu carried Lin Yue to the bed, and without any lust, he held her as they fell asleep. The two of them slept soundly through the night.
The next day, Cang Yu got up early and cooked a hangover soup for Lin Yue.
The wind wasn't strong outside today. After getting up, Lin Yue used a mini wind speed meter to check the wind speed. At this time, the wind strength was only level five. The wind was very gentle today.
Remembering Kong Ling's words last night that she wanted more antiques and jewelry, Lin Yue pulled Cang Yu along and set off to exchange antiques and jewelry at various wealthy households.
Lin Yue is now a celebrity at the base. Not only is she accomplished in the hospital, and there's no disease she can't cure, but she's also an expert in hydroponic vegetable cultivation. The line of people waiting for her hydroponic vegetables to come out is so long it'll be the end of the year.
Lin Yue's prices are fair. She doesn't want supplies, just those worthless antiques and jewelry. These things can't be eaten or used, but they can be used to exchange for vegetables. Wouldn't everyone be eager to exchange them?
Moreover, Lin Yue would occasionally bring out frozen fish. Although I didn't know how she preserved them, who cares, as long as there's food to eat.
Before setting off, she took out the vegetables she had stockpiled from her spatial storage, then mixed them with diluted spiritual spring water, soaked all the vegetables in it, and exchanged them with every household from beginning to end. Even if she only exchanged one or two items with each household, she still gained a lot.
I threw all these things into my spatial storage and then went to sleep soundly.
The next day was another windy day, and the two of them stayed home watching TV all day. On the third day, soldiers from the base came.
The people who came to pick them up first took Lin Yue and Cang Yu to the military region.
In the conference room of the administrative office area, Professor Mu and Mayor Tang were already waiting, along with several other leaders, all of whom Lin Yue recognized, since they had all exchanged vegetables.
Lin Yue and Cang Yu sat on one side of the long table, while the other base leaders sat on the other side. The scene was somewhat like an ancient joint trial, but instead of three courts, there were eight or nine.
"Ms. Lin, first of all, thank you for your continued contributions to the base..." The person who spoke was always very calm and composed, seemingly never showing any strong emotional fluctuations.
Lin Yue didn't care about that; she just waited quietly for what was to come.
After that person finished speaking, Lin Yue exchanged pleasantries with him for a while. Professor Mu, who was sitting opposite her, then spoke up: "Miss Lin, I won't tell you anything else. The time machine is already usable, as promised by the national base. But there are some things I need to make clear to you. Whether you use it or not is up to you."
"Professor Mu, please speak." Lin Yue gestured for him to speak.
She's already here; this matter must proceed.
"Miss Lin, how about this, I'll call you Lin Yue. Lin Yue, the time machine we've developed so far doesn't actually allow you to travel back in time. Instead, it extracts the subject's consciousness and memories, finds the appropriate brainwaves from the past, and sends them back to a specific point in time. This time is uncertain and random. It's possible you'll travel back to a time after the apocalypse, or it could be when you were very young. Do you understand?"
Lin Yue nodded: "Professor Mu, I understand what you're saying. It's about extracting consciousness, finding the brainwaves of someone in the past who can receive this part of my history, and then forcibly inserting them, right? At the same time, I will be declared dead during this period of time."
Lin Yue understood it very well; it was so obvious and easy to understand that it would be a problem if someone didn't understand it.
"Yes, smart. But that's not all. In the past few years, we've only built three. We're running out of materials, so we haven't tested them. This means this time machine is very risky, and the experiment might fail. There's still some radioactive material in the machine that hasn't been completely removed. In this case, two dangerous outcomes are possible. First, the consciousness might be successfully extracted, but it might not be able to be sent out, and we might not be able to receive your brainwaves from the past. In that case, your consciousness won't be able to return to your body, and you'll die instantly, without even consciousness. Second, the consciousness extraction might fail. Regardless of the outcome, your body will be contaminated by the radioactive material, and you won't live more than a year afterward. Think it over carefully, even so, do you still want to try?"
Professor Mu looked at Lin Yue, his eyes filled with disapproval, but he couldn't say it aloud.
Putting everything else aside, just the fact that she saved him before makes it impossible for him to use her as a guinea pig without a clear conscience. If it really doesn't work, then she will really die and disappear.
Even disregarding that, Lin Yue had given him a lot of vegetables, which relieved his constipation, and out of friendship, he didn't want Lin Yue to take any risks.
