Great Power Technology

In this era of simulation, humans have already had the same ability to open adjacent dimensional channels as their enemies, but this does not mean that it is safe to artificially create entropy increase jump zones.

The reason is simple. What they want to do is not a forward channel, but a reverse channel to output energy to the other party.

Due to the irreversibility of entropy increase, such an operation is likely to cause the area to go out of control and swallow up all matter and energy, including the center of the road sign.

And once this happens, there is only one ending waiting for the center of Chengdu - irreversible disaster.

Of course, humans are not the only hope. Even if they fail the first time, they can try again after a new signpost center is established.

But the problem is, no one knows how many attempts it will take to succeed.

"We need your assistance."

Just when Ye Zhou was worried about the future of the center of Chengdu, a woman's voice came again across hundreds of years.

Ye Zhou shook his head gently to dispel the chaotic thoughts in his heart and asked:

"What do you need me to do?"

"I need you to leave the Shanghai Center, go to the entropy increase jump layer of the outside world to collect data, and then pass the information to me."

"We need to rebuild the Shanghai Center model and restore 100% of its external environment!"

At this time, the woman's voice changed from the calmness and calmness when communicating with Ye Zhou before, and instead took on a bit of decisiveness.

She probably also knew that this was an opportunity that she couldn't miss or escape.

"I understand, but I need remote instruction."

"The transportation system in Shanghai Center has been completely paralyzed. All exits are currently closed. I need you to help me find the weak points of the structure. I want to blow up the passage!"

In fact, Ye Zhou could also use the talent of a structural master to find weak points on his own, but the problem was that the scale of Shanghai Center was too big. By the time he came back from searching, the day lilies were already cold.

"Understood. I have the structural diagram of Shanghai Center here. Give me twenty seconds."

After a pause, the woman continued:

"The No. 6 backup warehouse in the East District has only 6 meters of internal and external walls and no solid steel structure. It is most efficient to exit from here. However, this area is a redundant backup area and uses a gravity-stabilized structure. Damage from external forces is likely to cause collapse."

"After the collapse, the structure here will form new support for the entire Shanghai Center. If a gap is to be opened here, the explosion yield must be controlled extremely accurately."

Ye Zhou looked at the simple structural diagram passed by the woman. Just as she said, Warehouse No. 6 is a purely redundant design and is far away from the core area of ​​​​Shanghai Center.

Even if he didn't consider the success rate, he didn't want to choose this point.

The reason is simple. The energy source in Shanghai Center has been almost completely cut off. All that can be maintained now is the most basic life-support system. If he wants to pull the explosives over, he can only use people to pull them on his shoulders.

A round trip takes at least 4 hours, which is really inefficient.

"Are there any alternatives?"

he asked.

"The outer wall at the end of the No. 1 employee accommodation area is okay. The protection there is very strong and supported by a solid steel structure, but I remember that each center will be equipped with a batch of high-temperature explosives, and the yield should be enough."

"The same goes for District 3, which is opposite District 1."

"Besides that, there is the side outer wall of the employee hall. The problem there is that the space is too big, and the explosion may spread to the entire center and completely destroy the life support system."

"After eliminating all these options, the last option is to take the central gate. However, according to your data, the part leading to the gate has collapsed. You need to cross two obstacle areas, and the cost is too high."

Shanghai Center is actually a star-shaped structure with radial buildings connected to the outside of a regular pentagon. The positions mentioned by the woman are at the tops of the two stars and the top corners of the pentagon.

In terms of success rate, the pentagonal top is the best choice.

Moreover, the accommodation area for Employee No. 1 was relatively close to both the dangerous goods storage cabin and his own location, so it was fully accessible in time.

"I understand, now go to the reserve warehouse and prepare to start execution."

After saying that, Ye Zhou raised his feet and walked towards the warehouse.

In the last simulation, he had basically figured out the route, and everything went extremely smoothly. It only took less than 4 hours to arrange all the explosives.

"Detonate it directly?"

Ye Zhou asked.

At this time, he had evacuated to the employee dormitory far away. The thick isolation wall would shield him from the high temperature and impact caused by the explosion. If he was directly exposed to the passage, his whole person would probably be evaporated.

"Wait a minute, we need to do a preliminary damage estimate."

"The periphery of Shanghai Center should be a vacuum environment. Once the exit is opened and the balance is broken, there is a risk of proliferation in the entropy increase jump zone."

"Have you confirmed that your protective clothing is complete?"

The protective suit Ye Zhou was wearing had just been taken out of the core room of the road sign. It had been tested in the last simulation and its safety was not a problem.

"Confirmation is complete, no problem."

"Understood, please use the smart assistant to connect the detonator and give me the detonation authority. We will detonate the explosives step by step."

"Okay, handed over."

After a short silence, the woman spoke:

"Ready."

"let's start."

Ye Zhou said calmly.

His body was pressed against the wall, the dormitory door was closed, and he had made all preparations to prevent impact.

But on the other side, there was no movement from the Chengdu side.

"Any questions?"

he asked.

".This is not a foolproof operation. Do you know this?"

Ye Zhou couldn't help but want to laugh, but of course he could understand the other party's kindness.

"I'm completely aware. But no matter what, we have to take the first step."

"If we want to talk about danger, approaching the entropy increase jump zone is the greater danger. If we haven't reached that point yet, don't waste time and fight quickly!"

"Roger. 30 seconds countdown to explosion."

"20 seconds."

Ye Zhou sat quietly, without any unusual fluctuations in his heart.

For him, the outcome of sacrifice is actually destined, and it is not him who makes the choice, but the younger generation he plays.

As the countdown ended, violent explosions suddenly tore through the air, and a ghostly scream roared through the corridor.

The temperature of the entire area instantly rose to hundreds of degrees. Under the protection of the protective clothing, Ye Zhou was not seriously injured at all.

But, this is just the beginning.

A huge pressure difference formed between the external vacuum and the central building. In the room where Ye Zhou was located, the door deformed inch by inch, and then was blown out like a piece of paper!

And his own body also flew upside down in the strong wind, flying along the corridor to the top of the starlight.

In front of him was the turbulent retreating light.

And behind him, there was endless darkness.
