Chapter 25: Time Machine!
Editor: Henyee Translations
"Savior???"
Lin Chen slowly typed out a bunch of question marks.
It was fine if he encountered a mermaid on this trip to the sea.
He was even called a savior. What was going on?
No matter how fantastical it was, it couldn't be so fantastical, right?
Perhaps sensing Lin Chen's confusion, the mermaid continued, "I know you have a lot of doubts, but I can't explain it to you in a short time. If you're willing to believe me, you can follow me. You'll understand when the time comes."
With that, the octopus mecha retracted its tentacles and placed her on its head.
Then, it changed direction and slowly swam towards the other end of the rift valley.
The mermaid seemed to know very well that Lin Chen would follow her, so she did not explain too much.
It had been more than two hours since Lin Chen dived from the surface of the sea to this place.
However, along the way, he did not encounter anything special, let alone what he wanted.
Therefore, the appearance of a legendary creature like the mermaid and the fact that she was not affected by the cyber radiation naturally piqued his curiosity.
In the end, Lin Chen still could not control his emotions.
Retrieving the crab mecha on the ground, he started the turbine engine and followed.
As the octopus mecha advanced, the path became narrower and narrower. In some places, it was only about a hundred meters wide.
Lin Chen had to turn sideways to pass through.
After following it for about three thousand meters, after passing through an extremely narrow passageway, suddenly the passageway in front of them became wider!
Moreover, this place emitted a light that was like the sun.
This scene reminded Lin Chen of a passage in Mr. Tao Yuanming's book.
At first, it was extremely narrow, but after walking for dozens of steps, it suddenly became clear…
Wasn't this exactly the same as what he had just experienced?
As he followed the octopus mecha deeper, Lin Chen realized that this was no longer the rift valley passageway from before. Instead, it was a huge sealed cave.
This cave was at least 800 to 900 meters tall, and the interior of the cave no longer had those huge red algae and corals on the rift wall of the rift valley.
Instead, they were replaced by large, dignified seven-colored mechanical shells. Each of them was about five to six meters long, but in their centers, there were no pearls. Instead, there were energy cores.
From the amount of energy emitted by these energy cores, they were all C-grade energy cores.
The light from their cores illuminated the entire cave.
They were the source of the light.
As far as the eye could see, there were at least a thousand such shells scattered on the inner walls of the cave.
Therefore, the light they gathered and emitted could illuminate this huge cave.
If possible, he really wanted to pack all these things up and take them away.
However, he did not come along to take advantage of this.
Moreover, so many C-grade energy cores might be a windfall for ordinary cyber people.
But for him, it was not even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth.
"Lord Savior, we're here."
At this moment, the octopus suddenly stopped in front of a stone door that was hundreds of meters tall. The mermaid slowly swam from the top of the octopus's head to Lin Chen.
The mermaid's size was no different from that of an ordinary human, so in front of Abyss Long No. 1, she was like an underage kitten.
"I'm not a savior. Just call me Lin Chen. I didn't come here with you to save you. I'm just curious."
Lin Chen's tone was cold.
Even though the mermaid in front of him looked very beautiful, he really could not bring himself to be sexually interested in this form.
Women would only affect the speed of the mecha!
"Yes, yes!"
The mermaid smiled obediently. "Alright, Lord Lin Chen! My name is Xiaoyu!"
"Okay, so Xiaoyu, what do you want to show me?"
"You'll know when you come in with me."
As Xiaoyu spoke, she glanced at the octopus mecha.
"Xiao Zhang, open the door."
When the octopus mecha she addressed as Xiao Zhang heard this, it obediently reached out its tentacles and gently touched the stone door.
Then, ancient and incomprehensible words appeared on the huge stone door and emitted a golden light.
This light was what Lin Chen had seen above the rift valley through the crab mecha!
This also cleared Lin Chen's doubts at that time. From the light, Xiao Zhang was not inferior to an S-grade!
As the light gradually dissipated, the entire stone door rumbled open.
Originally, he thought that there was some treasure behind the stone door, but what greeted his eyes was a large instrument similar to a rocket launcher!
It was only one-third the size of the Abyss Dragon, and its entrance was extremely small. It should be used by humans.
"Star, analyze the object!"
He immediately got Star to analyze this mechanical object.
[Analyzing—]
[Analysis complete!]
[The analysis results are as follows: This machine is a time capsule that can perform quantum travel in time. After analysis, current human technology is not capable of mastering such technology. It comes from human technology about 300 years later.]
Time Capsule!
Indeed, things are not certain, quantum mechanics!
Lin Chen, who had loved science fiction since he was young, was too familiar with this term.
It could freely travel between the past and the future.
However, this was only a product of human conception!
Time is a parameter that humans use to describe the process of matter moving or the process of events.
Determining time depends on the law of the cyclical changes of matter without external influence.
Therefore, with human civilization's technology, it was impossible for them to understand time and change it!
This was completely daydreaming!
However, when he thought about it carefully, he had already transmigrated, so all of the above arguments were not true.
Although he was reborn in some form, this was enough to prove that time was reversible.
Then it was not a problem to have a time machine.
Moreover, he had also noticed a detail. "Three hundred years later!"

"Yes, I transmigrated back from three hundred years later."
"My maker told me to wait here for your arrival. That's the only way to redeem the world six months later."
Xiaoyu was not very surprised that Lin Chen knew about her background. Instead, she was very calm, as if she had already known that he would ask this question.
"Wait, wait, wait… Why do I feel that your words are so strange?"
"What creator… and the world half a year later?? Aren't you from 300 years later?"
For a moment, Lin Chen felt that his CPU was about to be lit up.
"Lord Lin Chen, you should understand after reading this."
Xiaoyu slowly swam to the front of the capsule. After entering a series of commands into the control panel on the outside of the instrument, a holographic projection suddenly appeared at the top of the capsule.
The projection was of a girl with a graceful figure. She looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old.
"Hihihi! Elder Lin, I know you have a lot of questions, but don't be anxious. I have to confirm your identity first!"
"Let me hear you say something!"
Looking at the strange girl in the projection, Lin Chen felt that she was a little familiar, but he could not tell what was familiar about her.
Moreover, why did she ask him to speak the moment she came up?
Wasn't this supposed to be something like a videotape?
Why did it look like it could still communicate with him?
This kind of technology would probably require Doctor Strange, right?
However, he still asked in doubt, "Hi, how are you?"
"That's right! It's indeed Old Lin!"
The girl in the projection was obviously excited when she heard Lin Chen's voice.
"Alright, Old Lin, you can ask any question now. I'll be able to answer you."
"Anything?"
"Yes, anything is fine!"
After testing that this projection could indeed communicate with him normally, Lin Chen asked his first question.
"Why do you call me Old Lin?"
To be honest, other than his roommates in university, no one else had called him Old Lin.
"I knew you'd ask that first."
The girl in the projection placed her hands on her hips smugly.
"I called you Old Lin because you're great-grandfather, so I think it's more appropriate to call you that."
"Great-grandfather??" Lin Chen was stunned. "Are you joking with me?"
The girl smiled as if she had expected this. She said casually,
"It's normal that you don't believe me, but you should know the number 839452788, right?"
At first, it sounded like an ordinary string of numbers, but the more Lin Chen listened, the more familiar it became.
"Damn, how did you know my secret code?"
This string of numbers was a secret key that Lin Chen had stored on a certain Internet drive. There were at least 100 million learning resources inside!
He had never told anyone about such a precious thing.
However, the girl in the projection could actually say it so readily. It must have been told to her by someone he trusted.
Hence, Lin Chen temporarily believed that this was his great-granddaughter.
"Ahem, alright then, my great-granddaughter. Call me Great-Grandfather."
Lin Chen thought about it carefully. He did not seem to have suffered a loss.
The girl rolled her eyes.
"I'll call you my ass!"
"I don't know how my great grandma fell for you in the first place."
"Hurry up. If you have anything else to ask, ask quickly. I still have something serious to say. The quantum transmission on my side can last another ten minutes at most."
"Oh, where are you now?" Lin Chen asked casually.
The girl was a little impatient. "Three hundred years later. Why do you keep asking such nonsense!"
"Is this really a trans-dimensional conversation?"
The girl's answer confirmed Lin Chen's guess.
Time capsules could project from the future to the present.
However, it only took humans 300 years to master such technology!
This made Lin Chen admire the person who created the time machine even more.
However, at this moment, Lin Chen was very perceptive. He did not continue talking nonsense but went straight to the point.
"What's the purpose of sending Xiaoyu over? What will happen in half a year? Why did she say that I'm the savior?"
A series of questions were thrown out, and the girl answered them carefully.
"First of all, Xiaoyu is an artificial mermaid that I created that can withstand spacetime cracks. I implanted human emotions into her and allowed her to communicate with some of the cyber-transformed marine creatures."
"I sent it to your spacetime through the time capsule to save you after the mechanical beast tide."
"Saving me after the mechanical beast tide? What do you mean?" Lin Chen asked.
"Literally."
"In my time and space, you also piloted Abyss Dragon No. 1 to where you are now on the 10th of March. Then, you went on a killing spree in this rift valley and slaughtered a whale king mecha and thousands of mecha sea beasts, taking away their energy cores."
"Damn, was I that bad*ss?" Lin Chen was surprised. The whale king mecha sounded very awesome.
The girl ignored his surprise and continued after a pause.
"However, after you went ashore, you were cursed by the sea. However, you did not know. You thought that it was just a small cold, so you didn't pay much attention to it."
"It wasn't until the third day after you repelled the beast tide that the curse finally took effect. You died at the headquarters of the World Cyber Alliance."
"After you died, your Hegemony Zero was actually summoned on its own. It activated some 'nuclear leveling' mode and completely bombarded the three major regions of Huaxia."
"It's said that at that time, all the national cyber warriors of the World Cyber Alliance were mobilized to stop it but they were not able. At that time, your Hegemony Zero could be said to be invincible."
"In the end, Stick Country and Choebon's cyber people, who did not join the alliance, joined forces and dug out the energy core of Hegemony Zero. That was how the crisis was resolved."
"However, the strange thing was that before Huaxia could repair the steel walls of the three major regions, mechanical beast tides appeared again from all directions and swallowed the city in an instant. The cyber people of the World Cyber Alliance lost their combat ability because of the battle with Hegemony Zero and could only send ordinary soldiers to fight."
"But how could ordinary soldiers resist this cyber beast? Therefore, very quickly, all three major regions were destroyed by it. It entered the cities to kill humans, and the surviving humans could only be forced to hide in hidden shelters…"
