I was under a lot of pressure during this meal.
But other than me, I was surrounded by a group of simple-minded people.
For example, Shallow Shallow who was always happy in any situation, Pandora and her sister who had the exact same speed and efficiency when they lowered their heads to eat, Liliana who put meat and vegetables in front of her as if her life depended on it, Little Bubble who was extremely excited because her father finally came home and kept muttering something from the beginning to the end, and the always calm big sister …
Not to mention Her Majesty Sandora who had the bravery of ten thousand men.
No matter how I thought about it, my family was filled with people who would be completely carefree as soon as they met food. I was the only one who had to wait for Lin Xue's scolding. The pressure was huge.
After dinner, it took a lot of effort to coax Little Bubble, who came up to me for a hug, to go back. After I let Mercury Lamp go play by herself, I consciously followed Lin Xue to the balcony. The others were so loyal, but when they saw that Miss Lin's expression wasn't right, they couldn't just stand by and watch me get scolded. Of course not, so they pretended that they had something to do and left …
They don't have any sense of loyalty at all!
As I stood on the balcony with Lin Xue, the atmosphere was a little gloomy. It was winter and the sky was completely dark. Miss Lin had been silently looking at the lights in the distance and didn't say anything. It seemed that I had to break the silence first.
"Cough, cough, are you angry?"
In the end, after holding it in for a long time, she only said this uncreative sentence.
"Without your tacit consent, even Tawil wouldn't privately research the cube's deep technology." Lin Xue was silent for a long time before she finally spoke calmly, "That's why I'm angry. But when I look at your silly face, I really can't get angry."
"I'm sorry," I apologized honestly. "However, if there was going to be a problem, why didn't you warn us when the Red Giant Fortress was being built?"
"The future is always changing, especially in a world where information is blocked." Lin Xue glanced at me from the corner of her eyes. "By the time we realized something was wrong, the red giant had already gone berserk … Well, maybe I'm partly responsible. I should have been more vigilant against the things inside the Crimson Moon Cube. I should have stopped you when Tawil was reading the second level of the database …"
Judging from Lin Xue's tone, it didn't seem like she was going to accuse him.
"What is going on with those things? The information in the Bloody Moon. "I felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so I took the initiative to start the conversation." If it's just some defective technology, how can it be so harmful? You just told us not to touch the technology inside, but you didn't explain what the problem is with Crimson Moon Technology. To be honest, I'm at a loss now. Of course, if it's something that can't be said, then forget it. I also know that some futures can't be exposed. "
Lin Xue raised her head and looked at the sky that was gradually filled with stars. She said slowly, "I really can't say it at first, but you've already suffered once, so there's no harm in saying it now. Also, thanks to the woman named Belavilla, I've heard the history that she told me. The information filled in the large fog that I couldn't see clearly in the prophecy. Now, blockhead, let me tell you why you can't touch the Crimson Moon Cube.
Crimson Moon Technology is one of the results of the last batch of scientific research projects before the Empire went into hibernation. According to the information provided by Belavilla, the last batch of scientific research projects before the Empire went into hibernation was completely based on a wrong principle, which was the reckless research on the origin of the void. "
I nodded. What Lin Xue said was what we already knew.
"If the foundation is wrong, then how many of the things that extend from it are correct? The Crimson Moon Cube is full of specious technology. They are all products of 'technological delusion' before the end of the Empire. It is a term that I created, and it is the most suitable to describe the Crimson Moon Cube. I don't understand much about the advanced technology of the Shiring Apostles, but I can vaguely understand that the Crimson Moon Cube is an ideal product.
There are many things in science that only exist in theory. For example, with the physics that humans currently grasp, we are used to setting up perfect environments in our research projects to verify certain conjectures. For example, imagining an absolutely smooth surface, two iron balls of absolutely equal mass, a closed system with no waste of energy … These are all experimental environments that humans are currently unable to create. Scientists can only set up such experimental platforms at the theoretical level and then conduct experiments on paper. The technology of the Crimson Moon Cube is the same. All its technology can only be realized in a perfect environment in theory. It is impossible in the real world. This is where the problem lies. Tawil found the technical information that can transform a star into pure psionic energy and completely control it. He tried to replicate it in the real world, but when he really tried to do it, the pure energy body would not be able to produce enough energy when it reached more than ninety percent. It would collapse prematurely and destroy its own timeline … Interpreting the environmental errors that exist in theory as feasible in reality is the result of the cube's technology. Well, of course, this explanation is very rough. In fact, I am not good at theoretical things. These are all inferences that I made based on the situation in the human laboratory. I reckon that if Tawil knew about this, he would be very disappointed. "
"Wait, wait, wait, I am a little confused." After making Lin Xue confused with a lot of professional information, I sighed at the extraordinary power of the Missy under the elite education. At the same time, I had my own doubts. "Such an obvious problem, how can Tawil not see it? If the technology recorded in the Crimson Moon cube can only be realized under ideal conditions, any basic technician should be able to recognize it, right? "
"This is the danger of the cube." Lin Xue spread her hands at me. "Did you forget about the Crimson Moon? As the cube's' theoretical technology ', it can actually operate in reality. The cube is something that constantly distorts the real world. Anything that can only be realized in theory can be realized on it. In other words, when an observer observes the cube, it will immediately show a' perfect state 'that the observer can't distinguish. The observer here does not only refer to intelligent life like humans, but also any kind of world element that interacts with the cube. Therefore, the' perfect 'state of the cube can even deceive the laws of the world and make the real world recognize its rationality.
In this way, things can be easily explained. No matter how smart Tawil is, she can't detect the abnormality of the cube. The cube will change the laws of the world the moment it observes the behavior of the observer, making its own existence a matter of course. Even I was confused by it at first. I thought it was just a database that recorded the wrong technology. It was not until a few days ago, when what Belavilla told you was uploaded to the shared database. After looking through the information, I remembered to use other historical lines to observe the cube again. As a result, I immediately discovered its distorted state. Whether you believe it or not, the cube does not actually exist. The ancient Shiring Apostles forcibly projected their concept into the real world and solidified it forever. It is a real illusion. The cube will only appear at the moment when foreign elements interact with it. If it is placed in an absolute vacuum and no one observes it, the cube will temporarily disappear.
I really don't know how the ancestors of the Schilling people developed such monstrous technology, but it is obvious that they had begun to play with the cornerstone of the world before the end of the world. Maybe I am going a little too far, but … they are playing with fire. "
"You are right." I smiled bitterly. I leaned against the balcony railing and looked at the warm, fuzzy light on the other side of the glass door. "Sandora herself said this about her old friends: a group of arrogant people who despise the origin because of their arrogance. The one who killed the Empire was not the Abyss, but the Shiring Apostles themselves … I will tell your discovery to Tawil. Tsk … Does this mean that the cube is completely useless? The things recorded in it can't be used at all? "
This fact made me extremely depressed. We were already lacking technology in this world, and now Lin Xue brought such bad news. The cubes were filled with things that dreamers used to harm people. They couldn't be used in the real world at all, unless we could recreate the technology used to create the cubes. The problem was, if we could even recreate the technology used to create the cubes, would we still lack technology?
Unexpectedly, Lin Xue immediately shook her head. "Blockhead, you are wrong. Actually, you should take this as good news. Now that we finally know the dangers of the cube's technology, we can better avoid catastrophic consequences when we use it. Although pure technology can't be directly applied in the real world, it is often the cornerstone of practical technology. Many of the current human scientific and technological achievements could only be realized on a purely theoretical platform a few decades ago, such as the ultra-large scale integrated circuit.
The miraculous return of the red giant after its collapse proved one thing: even the black technology in the cube could be directly turned into reality after finding the right way to realize it. My intuition tells me that Shallow Shallow's second gap effect can make part of the cube's' perfect 'properties appear in reality. Sigh, in the future, Tawil can study the things in the cube a little, but you must remind her not to foolishly use them like she did this time. No matter how feasible it looks, it is all theoretical technology. Once it is separated from the cube, it will immediately go out of control. It is fine to use it as a research reference, but using it directly will cause a huge mess.
Of course, I am still referring to the cube's surface data. Its core database is still a huge threat … My ability is still not enough to see what is stored there, but I am sure that it is not something that can be dealt with directly like the Abyss. Once it is released, it is hard to guarantee that the destruction of the Old Empire will not happen again. So, this time, you must take my warning seriously. Do you understand? "
In other words … the prophet has finally allowed us to unlock part of the cube's technology?
"I've learned a lot, I've learned a lot." I nodded repeatedly. At the same time, I was even more astonished by the ferocity of Lin Xue's power. She was only an earthling. Even if she had nothing to do, she would often disassemble Schilling equipment. It was impossible for her to truly understand the principles behind Schilling's technology. However, she was actually able to analyze a technological item from the Old Empire in such an in-depth manner. This was undoubtedly a deeper application of her prophecy power: Truth Detection. In other words, she was able to repeat the content of the scene she saw even though she didn't understand the meaning of it.
But the price of doing so …
I couldn't help but look at Lin Xue's eyes. Although she seemed to be fine now, I was afraid … that she had used up her power again, just like the last time when she peeked into the cube.
I also noticed that even though Lin Xue had said that she was here to denounce me, she had only been explaining the truth about the cube and reminding me to be more careful. She hadn't reprimanded me at all. From this girl's tone, I could sense more than anything that she cared for me.
Wait, wait, wait, this must be a mistake! Definitely a mistake! This troublesome amalgamation in front of me was my nemesis! She was born to be my nemesis. Even though we had become much closer recently, it was impossible for Lin Xue to be so anxious because she was worried. She even pretended to be angry and came to denounce me, but in the end, she couldn't say anything to reprimand me. The only things that were suitable for Lin Xue were the Black Cloak Magic Bottle, the Poison Crucible, the Ghost Castle, the Bat Skull Crystal Ball, and the Witch Cat!
But … no matter how I looked at it, Lin Xue seemed to have rushed to my house angrily because she was too worried. After confirming that everyone was safe and sound, she didn't know what to reprimand me for, so she could only ramble on. No matter how clumsy her behavior was, it was impossible to mistake her.
Could it be that the Miss was acting up again?
"Hey, Blockhead, is there something on my face?"
Noticing that I was staring at her, Lin Xue immediately wiped the corner of her mouth and looked at me with dissatisfaction.
"No … No, I'm a little curious. Could it be that … you came here today because you were worried about me?"
"Hmph, why would this Miss be worried about a blockhead like you!" Xue Lass's face instantly turned red. Then, she turned her head away. "I heard that the frontlines were tense, so I wanted to confirm if you would come back missing an arm or a leg. After all, seeing it with your own eyes is more reassuring …"
I didn't even know what to reply. Can you be any more obvious when you're acting like a tsundere?
In the end, the two of us remained silent for a few seconds. Just as I was trying my best to think of a way to communicate with this Miss who wasn't used to speaking her mind directly, a faint fragrance came from beside me … Then, a warm aura.
"Enough, I've really had enough!" I didn't know when Lin Xue had moved closer to just a few centimeters away from my face. Her hot breath tickled my ears. "I'm worried about you! I'm worried about you, an idiot who has no self-awareness and always wants to personally go to the frontlines! I'm worried about you, an idiot who would charge into a trap even after receiving a warning! I'm worried about you, a blockhead who messes up everything! That's how I've been worrying for the past 73 days! It wasn't until today when I heard that you guys returned safely that I wanted to personally take a look before I dared to go back to sleep. I admit it, I'm worried about you, you bastard! Are you satisfied now? "
I didn't expect Lin Xue to suddenly explode like this. I was instantly stunned.
I thought that this girl who could see through everything wouldn't care about anything. I didn't expect her to reveal her emotions. I thought that Lin Xue, who had the future in her hands, would be confident in everything. I didn't expect her to have a side to her. She was clearly able to see the final outcome, but she still felt heartache because of the hardships we had put in during the process?
In the end, no matter how strong and unreasonable I usually acted, it was just to cover up my weakness of not being good at communicating with others. In an instant, I seemed to have thought through many things.
Now, less than two centimeters in front of me, there was a pretty face that was flushed red from anger or shyness. The owner of this face obviously didn't realize what she was doing, but I was sure of one thing: I was touched.
Now, I only needed two centimeters to kiss this arrogant lady who never held back with me.
"Xue lass, I'm sorry. I forgot that you're actually the one with the most pressure."
I just kissed her! So what! Anyway, it wasn't the first time!
Of course, I didn't dare to go too deep. Their lips and teeth intersected for a few seconds. When the soft and cool touch entered their brains, the two of them quickly separated and looked at each other in silence.
This lass's face was very red. As long as one wasn't completely colorblind, they would be able to confirm it.
If that's the case, this should be the second kiss. The first time was when Lin Xue's ability went berserk for the first time. When we were in the medical center, this lass rushed over on her own. The second time, it was me who took the initiative — okay, half the initiative.
Obviously, the impact on Lin Xue would be different depending on who took the initiative.
"Mu … Tou, I … In the future, without my permission … you can't …"
Look, she doesn't even know what she is saying anymore.
But what's worse is that I don't know what to say either!
Strictly speaking, ever since that accidental kiss at the medical center, the relationship between me and Lin Xue has already reached a tacit understanding. Also, based on the reactions of the people around us, Sandora and the others probably more or less know something — — This crazy lass in front of me comes to my house every day to mess with me. It's fine if Shallow Shallow is slow to react, but how could Sandora and Big Sister, who are so perceptive, not understand?
Also, just like what I said before, this isn't the first time we kissed. In the first place, this isn't a big deal.
The only problem is … the two of us are idiots who don't know how to speak at crucial moments …
Thus, we held it in. The two of us held it in for a good few minutes on the balcony.
"Xue lass."
"Un?"
"The sun tonight is really round."
"Un, the sun tonight is really round."
… If you can find a more idiotic version of "Under the Moonlight Confession" than this … then it can only be said that this story is purely fictional. If there are any similarities, it would be a coincidence.
Fortunately, just as the two unprecedented idiots started to discuss why the sun is so round, the person who helped us resolve the awkwardness finally appeared. The glass door of the balcony was pushed open from the inside, and a little lass swaggered in arrogantly.
"Yo! Boss, are you still exchanging feelings? "
For the first time, Lin Xue and I had a tacit understanding: We lowered our heads and took off our shoes.
Liliana skillfully lowered her head and squatted down. "Ah, don't! Boss, love lolis! "
"Say it, what's the matter?" I noticed that Liliana was wearing her ceremonial robe that always looks like a child's outfit for photos. I knew that this lass must have rushed back to the Pantheon Temple after finishing her meal. Did Jingle reply?
"Tsk, seriously, you are already an adult, what's there to be embarrassed about?" Liliana continued to mutter foolishly, but she finally remembered the matter at hand. "The Goddess has already finished contacting the Pantheon Temple, and there is a reply from the God Realm. A high-level Protoss envoy will descend in a few days, so I came to inform Boss."
