Polar Night University, Stan Lab.
"Time fluctuations?"
"normal."
"Time Index"
"qualified."
Is the machine ready?
"Debugging is complete."
"Confirm the time, location, and objective."
Experiment 5463... Initiated!
"clear."
Under Lai Qingyi's control, Professor Stan's time machine was tested again.
They have succeeded a total of 976 times, and now they have succeeded 499 times in a row. Professor Stan hopes to personally test it 1,000 times before handing it over to the researchers for individual experiments, so as to avoid wasting time as much as possible.
Right now, it's just a repetition of the standard startup process we've been going through these past few days.
Therefore, everyone is used to it.
After all, if you can succeed so many times in a row, there shouldn't be any problems, right?
Unlike before, when Professor Stan would spend a long time fixing any machine malfunction.
It did get much better after that; Professor Stan would only make minor adjustments after about ten tests.
Now, after two hundred consecutive attempts without any minor adjustments, it should be the final result.
"Time flows, activate!"
Suddenly, the apple in front of me, which had been dry and yellow, turned bright red and plump!
Professor Stan stepped forward, took a bite, and said, "Mmm!"
Juicy! It tastes amazing!
"Restart time reversal".
"clear."
Lai Qingyi nodded, and then the apple that had been bitten suddenly returned to normal, and then slowly became shriveled and yellow again.
Professor Stan savored the sweet aftertaste in his mouth, even though the apple flesh and juice had flowed back into time.
But my taste buds truly enjoyed it.
If we continue this research, we might be able to develop a new generation of experimental topics.
For example, by deceiving your sense of taste or pain, you can use a holographic projection to enjoy food from all over the world.
You can enjoy it just by looking at it!
However... all of this will have to wait until the technological research is completed.
And he is almost finished with the initial phase.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Lai Qingyi in the control center uttered a question. Professor Stan, puzzled, returned to Lai Qingyi's side and asked him:
"What's wrong?"
"This... the fluctuation of time suddenly stopped for a moment!"
When did this happen?
"It was shortly after the time reversal was initiated."
Is that so?
Could there be a problem somewhere?
Professor Stan checked the console wiring with suspicion, and after finding no problems, he went down to check the time machine.
No problem? Judging from his current skill level, he should be in perfect condition right now.
Is there something he hasn't considered?
"Lai Qingyi, continue to report what you've seen..."
"Lai Qingyi?"
Professor Stan turned around in confusion. Why isn't Lai Qingyi saying anything?
Wait...not going to say anything?
Professor Stan looked at the control center in surprise, then at the researchers outside the one-way transparent control door.
They stood frozen in place, as if time had been stopped, even the coffee rolling in the coffee machine seemed to have stopped!
"What?"
Professor Stan walked back to the control center alone and saw Lai Qingyi carefully studying the blueprints.
He too was frozen in time.
"What exactly is going on?"
Professor Stan's face was grim. Could it be that the experiment had failed? But they had just successfully completed five hundred consecutive experiments, and they hadn't even started the next one yet. How could something unexpected have happened?
Just as Professor Stan was puzzled, he suddenly felt a tear in spacetime. The researchers outside the laboratory suddenly disappeared. He turned around in astonishment to look at Lai Qingyi, only to see that Lai Qingyi had also vanished before his eyes.
When Professor Stan opened his eyes again, he found himself in a desolate white sandy wasteland where he could see the stars directly.
"Um..."
Professor Stan's face was grave. He didn't know what he had encountered, but since he was already involved and there was no way to call for help, there was nothing more to say. He should just keep moving forward.
As Professor Stan walked along, he soon came to a small house with furniture outside and a person lying in a rocking chair drinking coffee.
Yes, it's a person.
"It's been a long time since I've had such a mellow coffee, especially one brewed by you, Professor Stan."
A familiar voice reached Professor Stan's ears, and Stan seemed somewhat surprised because he recognized the voice.
"Professor Landau?"
"Long time no see, Professor Stan."
Landau got up from the rocking chair, put down his coffee, and turned to look behind him.
But Professor Stan was shocked when he saw Randall's appearance.
"Landau and Professor? What's wrong?"
"Get younger? Hmm... It took me decades to figure this out."
Perhaps it's because of time travel that I gradually blended into the embrace of this river of time, and over time, I've become much younger.
Of course, if you're not used to seeing it this way, I can put a veil over it.
As he spoke, Landau and the professor donned a veil of time, transforming themselves back into their old age.
"No, no, no! Professor Lan is still the same as before. I'm just... feeling a bit sentimental, thinking about the days when we studied together."
