255: Hafk, launch a general attack!
Inside the office, Jacob watched the screen, reminiscing about the past.
Romisius and Demulan stood quietly by his side.
Jacob suddenly seemed to recall something and turned his head to look at Romisius.
“Doctor, how much longer do you think it will take us to develop something like a Time Shuttle?”
Jacob’s question caught Romisius off guard.
But when the topic of technology came up, his expression grew more serious.
“Time travel involves many paradoxes, unlike World Leaping.”
“The latter merely allows us to cross planes and travel to other worlds, but it doesn’t alter the time of the target world.”
“So it’s relatively easier to succeed.”
“As for Time Shuttle…”
“If it can be developed, it means that our future selves will be able to use it.”
“Imagine, will our future selves use the Time Shuttle to return to the present and meet us?”
“If we don’t meet them, then there are two possibilities: one is that we cannot appear at the same time, and the other is that it was never developed.”
Romisius analyzed passionately, even his brows began to furrow as he spoke.
Jacob knew that such a casual question had plunged him into deep thought.
“Alright, alright, what are you mumbling about?”
“It’s so hard to talk to you; just tell me if it can be developed or not.”
“How much money, how many people, how many resources will it take?”
Jacob grew a little annoyed, waving his hands repeatedly to interrupt Romisius’s analysis.
He only wanted a result.
As for the obstacles in between, those were not his concern.
After being interrupted by Jacob, Romisius rubbed his temples.
“If I work day and night, without any interruptions, and am allocated 100,000 top researchers, with unlimited provision of the resources I need…”
“It would probably take ten years or more.”
Hearing this answer, Jacob was somewhat surprised.
“Only ten years?”
“Then what was all that nonsense you were saying earlier?”
Romisius’s expression was very serious, his brows still slightly furrowed.
“I was just caught in a misconception, and only realized it after you interrupted me.”
“As I just said, if it can be developed, our future selves will definitely use time travel.”
“But according to the butterfly effect, if I had believed it couldn’t succeed, then I wouldn’t have even tried.”
“Under that premise, how could our future selves possess time travel technology?”
“So we can’t conclude that it’s impossible based on that.”
“After all, at that very moment, I decided to research this technology, which is the initial flap of the butterfly’s wings.”
The more Romisius spoke, the more Jacob and Demulan’s brows furrowed.
“Stop, stop, don’t say another word, just go do it.”
Jacob quickly interrupted Romisius.
If Jacob’s way of finding things to do was to observe people in various worlds and experience things himself,
then Romisius’s was to fully immerse himself in technological research.
This was also the main reason why Hafke’s technology had experienced N major explosions.
Romisius silently got up and walked to a corner of the office, where a mirror stood, showing a swirling mist.
After he walked into it, he disappeared completely.
Until he left, Romisius was still lost in thought.
He didn’t even say goodbye to Jacob and Demulan.
Neither of them paid much attention; they were long accustomed to Romisius’s state.
“How are the Soldiers’ training progressing?”
After Romisius left, Jacob also rose from his chair.
Demulan paused slightly.
“They have never stopped.”
Jacob nodded, slowly rising from his chair and stretching.
“Prepare, prepare for a full-scale assault. Let’s play with them.”
With that, Jacob picked up a phone-like object and scanned it across his face.
Beep, beep, beep — — — —
As the mechanical sound rang out, Jacob’s face was covered by a layer of data.
His face completely transformed into a different appearance, without any flaws, and his voice was also changed.
Demulan stood stunned, wondering if she had misheard.
Just a moment ago, she and Romisius were urging Jacob to finish quickly, but he had ignored them.
Now suddenly he wanted to launch a full-scale assault again?
“Mr. Jacob, what did you just say?”
Demulan asked, unsure.
“You didn’t mishear, launch a full-scale assault.”
“Just like before, no need to go all out. Just use vehicles and manpower that are evenly matched with theirs, and play with them.”
After hearing Jacob’s explanation, Demulan’s expression still showed confusion.
“But didn’t you just say…”
“That was just now.” Jacob interrupted.
“Since the Doctor said time travel can be achieved,”
“then there’s really no need to waste time on Liu Yan. I have many people I can choose from.”
“For example, my ideal candidate.”
“Wang Yuhao.”
Demulan shook her head helplessly after hearing this.
Liu Yan wouldn’t agree, so would Wang Yuhao agree then?
However, compared to the two, Jacob had tried to persuade Liu Yan, but had never tried to persuade Wang Yuhao.
“Although there’s no need to waste time on Liu Yan anymore, I still want to see what he had prepared in the past.”
“Look.” Jacob extended his hand and pointed at the screen.
Demulan followed the direction of Jacob’s finger.
“Reis, Raven, John, all three parties are coincidentally moving towards the direction of Xia Country.”
“Reis has already arrived in Xia Country.”
“Liu Yan seems to have also noticed that John is no longer in Little Eagle Country. With his brain, he should figure it out very soon.”
“At this critical juncture, the only country John can attack is Xia Country.”
“He will rush back very soon.”
“How can we not join in on such a big commotion?”
Demulan nodded thoughtfully.
“Alright, I will issue the orders now.”
Although many times, she couldn't understand Jacob.
But no matter what, being able to finish quickly was ultimately good.
She always had a very bad premonition.
Especially when she learned that this world’s Liu Yan was the Liu Yan from 30 years ago, this unease intensified.
Although the past Liu Yan also lived under their surveillance,
unlike others, the screen watching the past Liu Yan had gone black several times.
To this day, Demulan still hadn’t figured out whether it was a problem with Skynet or a wish Liu Yan had made through the heart of africa.
Compared to Skynet having a problem, Demulan was more willing to believe it was the heart of africa.
But in that past world, Liu Yan didn’t know that Jacob and his team were watching.
Under such preconditions,
he still used the heart of africa to block others from watching him.
Who exactly was he guarding against?
