Great Power Technology

Ye Zhou has seen the consequences of many humans falling into the entropy jump zone in simulations, but he has never experienced it personally.

It was undeniable that even though he clearly knew that he was in a simulator, he still felt a little panicked when he fell uncontrollably into the darkness outside the base.

A loud noise came from the earphones, which was the interference caused by the radiation from the entropy jump zone to electromagnetic communication. Ye Zhou endured the discomfort, adjusted his posture in just a few seconds, and turned his body towards the gap opened by the explosion.

There is no support point on the wall of the passage, and the only chance is the steel bar protruding from the gap.

Grasp the steel bars and maintain stability. Only after the air pressure difference inside and outside the base is completely balanced will you have the opportunity to proceed with the next step.

Getting closer and closer to the hole, Ye Zhou has already fallen to the ground. The metal isolation layer outside the protective suit rubs against the ground and creates huge sparks. However, these sparks are fleeting because the oxygen content in the air has dropped to an extremely low level. Degree.

Ye Zhou took a deep breath and estimated the distance between himself and the exit.

Then, after counting down for three seconds, he kicked his legs sharply to the left.

The silent impact caused the already brittle wall to fall apart, and a protruding steel bar penetrated directly through his body, but this also stopped his tendency to "fall" outward.

Under the severe pain, Ye Zhou almost fainted. The self-healing function of the protective suit quickly took effect, locking the gap penetrated by the steel bars.

This ensured his survival, but it also restricted his next move.

At this time, he was still tens of meters away from the entropy-increasing jump zone outside the cave entrance, and his goal was to get close to the critical range of the jump zone to collect first-hand data.

Any remote control method has failed here, and he can only take risks.

Ye Zhou took a deep breath, endured the severe pain in his abdomen, slowly raised his feet and stepped on the wall of the cave entrance.

According to his judgment, the steel bar was very lucky to only pass through the outer edge of the left lower abdomen without damaging any internal organs. Otherwise, he would not have the ability to move now.

——

But it can also be said to be a misfortune.

Rubbing, even if it is off by five centimeters, the steel bar will probably only cause scratches.

He didn't care so much. He first took out the lock from the carrying bag on the side of the protective suit and hung it on the steel bar to lock it firmly. Then he closed his eyes, slowly straightened his legs, and forcibly lifted himself off the steel bar. Pulled it out a little.

The severe pain made him almost faint. Even though the intelligent medical system of the protective suit had taken effect, the effect of anesthesia in a short period of time could not offset the bone-chilling pain.

His legs were shaking constantly, and every time he exerted force, he had to stop and rest for a few seconds.

And this undoubtedly brings greater pain.

When he felt that the steel bar was completely separated from his own flesh and blood, the air pressure difference inside and outside the channel had also balanced, and the raging wind stopped. Ye Zhou pulled out the steel bar in one go and waited for the protective suit to be repaired before finally gasping and opening his eyes. Eye.

At this time, his protective suit was filled with blood, and the sound of blood and clothes adhering to each other could be clearly heard when he moved.

Intermittent calls came from the earphones, and he could barely tell that it was the Chengdu Center asking about his physical condition.

"I'm out of the warehouse and feeling...good."

Ye Zhou did not mention his injuries. This was just redundant information that was irrelevant to his mission.

He slowly controlled the mechanical winch on his waist and slowly lowered himself to the wall outside the cave entrance. Only then did he truly see the current situation in Shanghai Center.

Looking around, there was darkness everywhere.

This kind of darkness does not mean that light cannot reach it, but...all the light has been swallowed up.

The entropy increase jump zone is like a thin black hole, shrouding the center of Shanghai.

So now, where is the Shanghai Center?

Even the support below has disappeared, but it can maintain a relatively balanced state...

There is only one answer.

The center of the earth.

Ye Zhou clung to the wall and continued to slide down. The entropy increase jump detector he carried kept flashing until he dropped to a certain height, and the flashing yellow light of the detector turned into a red light.

Entering the critical area.

In fact, even without the help of a detector, Ye Zhou could see the difference in this area.

The structure of matter is even more fragile, and even if he accidentally uses too much force, he will kick out a big hole in the thick concrete.

If you stay here for a few hours, you will probably become the same "biscuit man" soon, right?

This will probably be a very interesting experiment...

The full variable detector has been turned on, and the data collection process lasted for nearly twenty minutes. Ye Zhou felt that his abdomen was bleeding continuously, and his consciousness gradually became confused.

But fortunately, his mission has been basically completed.

Now, he only needs to bring the detector back to the base, leave the entropy increase jump radiation area, and then transfer all the data to the Chengdu Center. This simulation can be concluded.

Enough information has been collected.

Ye Zhou turned the mechanical winch and his body slowly rose.

In the last few meters, he almost fell into a coma, relying purely on his talent for courage triggered by his mental programming to squeeze out the last bit of energy from his body.

By the time he returned to the passage, barely even standing had become a daunting challenge.

He increased the oxygen ratio of the protective suit and staggered toward the interior of the base step by step.

The sounds in my ears gradually became clearer, and the timeout communication channel was re-established.

"Rongcheng Center is calling, Shang Hai, please answer!"

"Rongcheng Center is calling, Shang Hai, please report your physical condition. Can you continue?"

"Did Shang Hai receive it?"

Ye Zhou spoke with difficulty and replied weakly:

"Shanghai has received it. It is about to leave the radiation area. Data communication is stable and ready to establish a transmission channel..."

"you are still alive!"

The woman opposite said in surprise that during these long 30 minutes, she probably thought Ye Zhou had failed.

Not only was Ye Zhou's failure, it might even be... the failure of the entire human world.

"I don't have much time, establish a channel!"

"Understood, the channel has been established and transmission has started. How is the situation on your side?"

Ye Zhou took a breath and replied:

"There is a vacuum outside, and we are suspended in the center of the earth..."

“Center of the Earth??”

"Yes...the center of the earth——"

Ye Zhou wanted to say a few more words, but his body could no longer support him for one more second.

His words were still stuck in his mouth, but a strong numbness and coldness quickly surged through his body.

It felt like an electric shock.

This was the first time he experienced what it felt like to die from blood loss.

At the last second when he fell, he tried his best to take off the communication module from his head and put it into his arms.

…

Darkness fell and when he opened his eyes again, Ye Zhou had returned to the void.

And before his eyes, subtitles appeared that made him relieved.
