I changed the timeline with the game.

Chapter 1164 Racing Against the Doomsday

Chie nodded.

She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, her gaze falling on the ginkgo wood pattern in the lower left corner of the worn notebook, but she no longer felt any regret.

Because, in the time to come, everyone will need to assist Fausta in establishing resonance connections, directly calibrating the parameters of each relay point, and adjusting the signal strength for each iteration.

She wanted to guide the "star trail code" buried by her grandfather along those physical trajectories sealed by time, along the direction of the gears turning, through interstellar dust, and across the vast void between the earth and fire.

They should fly to Mars.

Flying towards that red land, imbued with the warmth of a continuing civilization.
Flying towards the next milestone in the life left behind by Sephiroth, a milestone his grandfather had waited for his entire life and protected with his last glimmer of light.

In the laboratory provided by Asta, the low hum of the overclocking equipment continued unabated.

The roar of the instruments overlapped with the bright lines on the screen against the deep purple background of Tokyo.

It was as if countless fine gears were slowly turning between the star trails, making a gentle yet firm sound, moving forward along the veins of time and space towards the depths of the universe.

According to the holographic projection of the First Star, it floated in the center of the signal control console corresponding to the Makuhari Beach. At this moment, Caroline had already hacked into the corresponding system after confirming the corresponding position.

"Thanks to the groundwork laid by Seren,
These data points appear to be functioning normally at present.

According to Fausta, her long hair transformed into a flowing stream of pale blue data, intertwining and merging with the stellar core resonance curves pulsating on the screen.

As she probed the Mars remote sensing data, a translucent fragment of a star core gradually emerged before her:
"Um,

I felt it too.

Thrallen did indeed leave us a gift.

But in the end, he didn't choose to send the data in real time; instead, he created a delayed system.

"Mr. Rhine, what do you think is the reason for this?"

Caroline turned around and asked,
But upon hearing this question, which he had already anticipated, Su Wen simply adjusted his glasses calmly:

"Just like Tokyo today."
The arrival of the Origin Century may not have been within his predictions.

Thus, in the perception of Fausta,
The simulated fragments revealed ancient runes of the Cypher civilization.

As the docking process progressed, the runes even began to flash synchronously with the S-band signals transmitted from the Tokyo ground array:

Screen display:

The resonant frequency between the Izu data point and the Martian core has stabilized at 2.301 GHz.

The signal synchronization error has been reduced to 0.003μs, the energy transmission efficiency has exceeded 89%, and there is only 17% of the progress bar remaining before the civilization backup library is fully unlocked.

"The connection link is stable,"
The entropy of the Martian star's core remained at 1.2 × 10⁻⁶ J/K, with no signs of abyssal contamination spreading.

According to Fausta, her voice had a slight hum of electricity, and she did not continue the conversation between Caroline and Suwen.

after all,

In terms of collective consciousness, Thrann was merely making an 'individual choice'.

This is the disagreement that Sephiroth should have had after determining that the first experiment, 'virtualization,' could already be considered a failure.

After all, even [Destruction Source - Fictional Paradise - NO.7] cannot be considered a success yet.

Therefore, 'clustering' and 'adaptation' have become the two possible paths to success.

According to common sense, Justa and Seren should have gone down different paths.

But now, according to the figure of the mimicking mother, Fastana merely slowly traced her fingertips across the control panel.
"My journey has come to an end, and now it seems..."

Seren was right.

She pulled up simulated images of the Valles Marineris region on Mars:

Along with the transmission of the Izu signal,
The star core crystals on the red sand are emitting a uniform red light; they are transmitting [echoes].
"Cyfidaros's protective mechanisms are still in effect, but the signal noise on Earth's side continues to rise."

These resurrected individuals, as former parts of 'me,' also possess certain privileges; Thrann's self-censorship mechanism won't last much longer.

"Don't worry, it's our turn to act."

Caroline focused her attention on the observation room area of ​​the former Mitaka Observatory site, and upon hearing this, she exchanged a glance with the scholar.

Then,

The professional hacker then swiped her fingertip across the holographic screen to bring up a set of steep data curves.

“Mr. Rhein, please look at this data log.”

Caroline turned the screen towards him; the red data spikes pierced the baseline like sharp knives.

"After the Tokyo sinking crisis projection was launched, I felt that the abnormal data transmission volume of the underground array had reached 3.7PB in less than two hours."

This is even with the isolation network blocking access, preventing me from directly hacking in.

Their transmission frequency bands are concentrated in the X-band (8-12 GHz), which perfectly matches the quantum entanglement communication frequency band of the web weaver.

Ah,
I think these resurrected ones really don't understand Seren's true intentions at all.

More importantly,
During data transmission, the abyssal entropy value surged from the usual 0.8 entropy units to 4.3 entropy units, exceeding the safety threshold by five times. This is a typical characteristic of severe abyssal contamination.

But Su Wen simply pushed up his glasses calmly:
"Since we cannot directly utilize Seren's protective mechanisms, we plan to bypass this part using the Abyss's Twisted Order property."

It seems they considered this possibility when they were planning the Deep Tokyo mapping project.

Caroline nodded.
She clicked on the screen and brought up a 3D model of Tokyo's underground.

Hundreds of red dots flash in the model, forming a network covering the entire Kanto region:

"These light spots are underground array nodes that we detected using ground-penetrating radar."

The depth is concentrated at the top of the upper mantle, between 500 and 800 meters, which is located near the subduction zone between the Pacific Plate and the Eurasian Plate.

The transmission delay between nodes is stable at 1.2ms, which is consistent with the 'action at a distance' property of quantum entanglement, indicating that they are using the power of the web weaver to build interstellar data projection channels.

However, because the available psionic energy is currently limited by the intensity of the psionic tide, the maximum range is only enough to establish a communication channel between the earth and fire.

"It's just that their technical level hasn't reached that level yet."
According to the information I have now, even the three abominations only obtained a portion of Sephiroth's legacy.

Do not,
Let me put it another way:
The experiment of Cyphera might be applicable in the early Fourth Age.

However, after the destruction of the Source Point during the Fourth Era, the technology he left behind was no longer fully compatible.

This is why Seren not only needs to use the corresponding starting data from five locations in Tokyo as anchors.

He also considered the redundancy of the deviation value between Earth and Mars, when looking up at the stars from Tokyo ten years later.

As Su Wen spoke,

While slowly pushing the data-driven gear to the corresponding expected point on the sensor,
"From now on, we are racing against the end of the world."
