Dream Travel

Chapter 561 Auxiliary items can be very powerful too.

"This sounds pretty difficult. Why didn't you tell me about this before?" Bai Mu became even more interested in this strange dream.

He possesses the Moonlight Box, though it's a knock-off, it still involves the power of time travel to change the past.

Now there's another time machine dream, wouldn't that complement the Moonlight Box?
The Moonlight Box allows you to travel back in time, but you can't go forward. A time machine shouldn't have such a big limitation.

Based on the information available, time machines in the alternate dream world are primarily used for 'deduction'.

It doesn't matter if the existing technology is immature. As long as a professional team is set up to start working, we can use a time machine to travel to the future and receive the results.

The entire world is treated as a giant simulation area.

The power of the time machine is terrifying; it yields results on the same day it is invested. With the knowledge brought over by outsiders, it is not surprising that a world that originally had no special powers has inexplicably developed into a place full of experts.

"I can only tell you this because I know about it. Actually, I didn't really want to tell you this, but the people at the Ministry of the Interior have always wanted to poach you."

"They haven't given up yet? I don't want to go there."

"The reason this Dream Terminal was delivered here so quickly is partly because we want the aerospace project to develop faster, and partly because you are here."

Borre stated that some things are not up to Bai Mu to decide...

Indeed, if this fantastical dream can be successfully developed, Rota City's space program will surely make leaps and bounds.

Even if you can't bring out the complete item, bringing out the fully completed work is fine.

"I'm not that special anymore. I'll go check out this alternate dream first. What kind of impact do you think a time machine would have if it appeared in reality?"

"...It probably won't work." Borei said hesitantly, "Some experts have studied the difference between dreams and reality. Most things in dreams can be applied to reality, but some things can't."

Just like the impact of the environment on crops, a time machine that works normally in a dream world might not work in reality, unless it's a dream-eroded object.

The biggest difference between Dream Erosion items and ordinary items is that they can ignore environmental differences.

Time machines may not be applicable in reality, but if a time machine possessed the dream-eroding effect of a 'time machine,' the situation might be different. But what are the chances of such a coincidence?
Therefore, the best approach is to make good use of this alternate dream. However, since the source of the alternate dream is not in their hands, this alternate dream remains unreliable.

The country is now betting that the organization will be reluctant to give up this dream, and that with the efforts of the National Affairs Bureau, they will ultimately choose to develop the dream "jointly" rather than fight to the death.

The world is vast, and no one will choose to take a desperate path before they have nowhere else to turn.

The main task of the Maple Crown Republic now is to ensure that the Source of Dreams does not flow out.

"Alright, I'll go take a look first." Bai Mu said impatiently. He would feel bad if he missed such a special dream.

"Oh, right, there are a few things to note, would you like to know them?"

"I read it on the way." Bai Mu went home and read through the notes that Bo Lei had given him.

Although the National Processing Bureau and the Academy of Sciences did not acquire the time machine, they obtained information about its maker.

To their disbelief, the time machine was actually built by the person involved in a setting that was almost identical to reality.

This is also why the National Academy of Sciences doesn't have much hope of actually building a time machine; even if the background conditions are similar, that thing is too 'mystical'.

The current environment may not be able to support the creation of that thing.

According to information provided by Dr. Alexander Hadkin, the Bureau obtained a great deal of important intelligence.

This includes precautions regarding the use of a time machine.

A time machine can be used to travel to the future, but not to the past. It can take you to the past, but it cannot change it...

Furthermore, when you arrive in the past, you will encounter a series of problems, such as your past self. However, when you look to the future, there are not so many problems.

As for whether it can change the future, that's a more nuanced question.

Because the past is a period of time that has already occurred, for someone who uses a time machine to travel to the future, the past is a blurry period from the starting point to the future.

Moreover, what is done in the future will affect the future of that future, but the users of the time machine have never been in contact with the more distant future.

Therefore, time machines are quite lenient when it comes to intervening in the future, but very strict when it comes to the established past.

The reason that doctor created the time machine was to save his fiancée who had died in the past.

He attempted to change the past to avoid his fiancée's death. The National Academy of Sciences studied his case and concluded that he had no chance of success.

His fiancée's death spurred him to work harder, eventually leading him to create a time machine.

If his fiancée hadn't died, how could he have worked so hard to make that thing?

Therefore, if he uses the time machine, his fiancée will 'inevitably' die, but if he doesn't use the time machine, his fiancée will still die.

This was a vicious cycle for Dr. Hadkin, and the National Academy of Sciences used this incident to persuade him.

They made a proposal that the other party couldn't refuse!
Since his fiancée's death couldn't be prevented through normal means, and the National Academy of Sciences didn't want to use unconventional methods that would prevent the time machine from being created, why not try a different approach?

They cannot avoid the established fact that Dr. Hadkin's fiancée is dead, but they can make her 'disappear' when she faces death.

Give his loved one a different living environment, and he can come over and live a happy and fulfilling life with his loved one.

Dr. Hadkin was intrigued; as for the question of whether to believe it or not, that was actually quite easy to resolve.

Dr. Hadkin has used a time machine, so what is time travel?
In his world, the death of his lover was unavoidable, so he sent her to a place where the fact of her death did not exist!
So here's the problem: he doesn't have a time machine anymore, so if he wants to prevent his lover from dying, he needs to build another one.

Dr. Hadkin is currently working hard, which is the source of the pressure the Maple Crown Republic faces in dealing with its national situation.

The organization did not want a second time machine, so it tried every means to sabotage the National Disposal Bureau's operations.

"They gave me such comprehensive information, just to make me want to go there, right?"

Upon returning home, Bai Mu explained some things to the Fate Master and also had the Dream Erosion Camera undergo a second sublimation, using thirty-eight Dream Erosion Crystals.

The remaining Dream Erosion Crystals were insufficient for the Dream Erosion Storage Disk to undergo a second sublimation.

Bai Mu wasn't in a hurry; he could just go mining again next time.

However, since this item is not used in combat, even after a second upgrade, its effect is not very noticeable.

However, Bai Mu quickly discovered the unique characteristics of the Dream Etching Camera after its second sublimation.

This thing can synchronize with local time!

The Dream Erosion Storage Disk does not undergo secondary sublimation, but its effect is similar to that of the Dream Erosion Camera, so the two Dream Erosion items can be compared.

A comparison reveals the difference between biochemical and secondary sublimation.

The time displayed by the Dream Erosion camera differs from that on the Dream Erosion storage disk.

The camera synchronizes with the displayed time, while the storage disk continues to maintain the original world time record.

After that, he no longer needed to specifically check the time when he went to other dream worlds.

In addition, the white screen revealed that the Dream Erosion Camera possessed information conversion capabilities.

When outsiders enter another dream through the source of another dream, the dream erosion effect brought by the source of another dream will prevent the situation of information not being communicated.

However, even within the dream world, the Source of Another Dream is not a master of language, so the influence of Dream Erosion is limited. Beyond the Source of Another Dream's cognitive range, outsiders will also be restricted in their understanding of the text and information carriers of Another Dream.

For example, if the Dream Source knows English but not Chinese in the Dream, then people who enter the Dream through the Dream Source will primarily rely on the Dream Source for language understanding, unless they already know Chinese from the beginning.

The White Curtain's Dream Erosion Camera recorded many things, including numerous information carriers, the contents of which even the White Curtain itself couldn't understand.

Some content was also incomprehensible because the Dream Erosion effect of the Dream Source had become ineffective.

But the information carriers that he couldn't understand before, he could understand again after the Dream Erosion Camera's second sublimation.

However, this understanding is limited to viewing the Dream Erosion camera itself. If the information carrier image is transferred to a computer and viewed there, he still cannot understand it.

However, the perfect information conversion effect greatly enhances the importance of the Dream Erosion Camera. Even though it is not a combat item, its effect greatly improves the convenience of the white screen.

For example, demon script. It's complex and difficult to learn. It's not that demons don't want to make it simpler, but rather that complexity and difficulty are more advantageous to them.

If others can easily master and understand the demonic script, how can the demon deceive people?

The demonic texts recorded by the white screen can now be understood immediately through the Dream Erosion Camera, which has undergone a second sublimation.

Even though you still can't understand it after you leave this thing, it's not easy for others to take it away.

Moreover, this information conversion is understandable and does not affect the original information carrier. Anyone who owns the Dream Erosion Camera can quickly master different information carriers if they want to learn.

This thing is more convenient than any dictionary. In the future, if a demon asks him to sign a contract, no matter how complicated the demonic script is, he can just take a look at it with the Dream Erosion Camera and the demon won't be able to fool him normally.

The only thing to be concerned about is the word traps; those additional rules made up of strange demonic script are useless.

The white screen brought up the 'Thousand Mountains' technique recorded by the Dream Erosion Camera. Before the Dream Erosion Camera underwent its second sublimation, he could no longer understand the text on it.

So much time has passed that the effects of Shan Qifeng's dream erosion have long since disappeared. However, before he could no longer understand it, Bai Mu made a backup record that he could understand.

Now, through the Dream Erosion Camera, which has been upgraded twice, he can understand the original Thousand Mountains Kung Fu recorded by the camera.

Moreover, some parts seemed different from the translated version he had recorded. He initially thought it was his imagination, but upon comparison…

"It's really different!"
