Learn one small skill every day

Even without any attribute bonuses, it is undoubtedly an Aleph-level item.

However, the third skill felt rather useless to Bai Miao.

It seems that this skill is not for helping the present, but rather to prevent the past self from repeating the same mistakes.

But once the Zero Hour Lock is full, you will receive reminders about the future.

Key time anchors...

Bai Miao felt that he could only wait, and the time when he received the message would be very important.

But how can I confirm if I am the one who appears at the very beginning of the timeline?

Bai Miao's biggest worry is that he won't get any help; it's his present self reminding his past self.

Probably not... After all, I received a reminder from myself a year later.

Emma, ​​ignoring Bai Miao who was deep in thought behind her, listed out all the major and strange events that had occurred in these cycles.

All Gong Ni heard was that the research on the anti-gravity cube was nearing its end.

"You said it would take about three more days to master this technology, at which point we could move the meteorite out of Terra and the Endless Energy would be able to leave the ocean and soar through the sky."

Chapter 138 Going to Sea

"Stay where you are for three days, and once you have developed the anti-gravity device, you can fly over from the sky."

Bai Miao said to Gong Ni, "I need to see the anti-gravity device fully analyzed in three days, and that the Endless Energy ship can make full use of its technology."

Gong Ni did not agree directly, but instead asked to see the experimental data and conclusions recorded by Emma.

About an hour later, Gong Ni nodded firmly: "Three days is no problem! I roughly know what to do next."

"it is good."

With Emma's cooperation, Gong Ni worked day and night for three days on research and development. As crescent-shaped white jade stones were attached to various parts of the Endless Energy, the entire giant ship, which was over a thousand meters long, was freed from the constraints of gravity.

"Captain, the thing I built will be more stable and will not be attracted by any external gravity. It can control its altitude and course."

What's the working principle behind this?

Bai Miao asked curiously.

"The anti-gravity cube uses a high-dimensional structure that can capture and analyze gravitons, eliminating gravity from a higher dimension. Normally, this thing can also eliminate other gravitational forces, but we lack the corresponding programming language, so I had to replicate it myself based on the principle, using our own developed system."

six.

"Get ready to send it out of Terra when the meteorite lands."

"The appropriate weapons are being loaded. This will take a few days, but it should be done before the meteorite enters Terra's atmosphere."

On the tenth day, a fiery red arc streaked across the night sky, illuminating most of the starry expanse.

The meteorite came hurtling in right on time.

However, according to observations from the Endless Energy, this meteorite did not come from outer space due to Terra's gravity, but appeared out of nowhere in Terra's sky and crashed towards the location where it had previously fallen.

"The effect of the time-reset is that if this meteorite were reset to fifteen days ago, given Terra's rotation and revolution, it would have landed in a different part of Terra."

Kaguya stood beside Bai Miao, looking up at the reddening sky: "This meteorite must be the culprit that caused the Shiyan restart, so it will fall along its original trajectory no matter what, and its landing point will not change because of the restart, unless someone within the restart range tries to affect it."

"So it seems that pushing the meteorite back will break the cycle?"

It seems we were on the right track in finding something wrong with the meteorite.

"All departments, prepare to launch the meteorite out of Terra!"

"Yes!"

"The meteorite's trajectory has been set. It will first use the moon's gravity as an acceleration point, and then the gravitational source will switch to the sun until the meteorite crashes into the sun."

With the precise calculations of the Endless Energy, a large number of anti-gravity devices were sent to the meteorite. Then, the meteorite slowly decelerated in the air, drew a strange arc, and rushed straight towards the moon.

However, before Bai Miao could rejoice, everything in front of him suddenly rushed backward. The meteorite returned to its original trajectory, flew into the sky and disappeared, and he himself was also uncontrollably backward.

this……? !

Bai Miao looked in Emma's direction and saw that Emma also had a hint of surprise in her eyes, and then gave a helpless bitter smile.

In the unstoppable flow of time, Bai Miao returned to the morning of that very day.

"Captain...we've entered..."

"I know, this is the sixth cycle, right?"

Bai Miao interrupted Emma, ​​who stared at him, her voice trembling slightly, and asked, "You...you...how could you..."

"I don't know why, but I suddenly remembered that I was rebooted and that I retained my previous memories. Let's hold a ministerial meeting. Emma, ​​you won't have to endure the cycle alone anymore."

There's no benefit in hiding that you're not affected by the cycle. As the captain, it's reasonable for you to develop immunity after experiencing several cycles, right?

Even if Kaguya asks, Bai Miao can use the excuse that Kaguya disembarked early and he doesn't know what he did afterwards.

Emma took a deep breath and calmed herself down: "Yes, I will convene a ministerial meeting immediately."

This meeting was led by Emma, ​​who recounted the previous cycles, while Bai Miao focused on discussing the last cycle separately.

"The second and fifth cycles both restarted directly after interfering with the meteorite, meaning that the meteorite is part of the core logic of the restart."

"Why? Could it be that Shiyan's civilization is on that meteorite?"

Kaguya also believes that Toki, like herself, took civilization to space and is now preparing to return.

However, the captain shattered the meteorite in the second cycle and sent it into the sun's orbit in the fifth. Either way, it would lead to the destruction of civilization.

A restart would be justifiable.

"When we last sent the antigravity device to the meteorite, we also scanned it. There were no living organisms on it; it was a pure iron meteorite."

Bai Miao really didn't have any good solutions for this meteorite.

We can't do anything, and if we do nothing, it will restart in a maximum of twenty days.

"This time, we'll use the anti-gravity device we developed to launch into the air. We'll follow the meteorite and see where it goes after it falls into the sea!"

The meteorite cannot move, but it is a very good clue.

Looking at what happened afterward from the perspective of a meteorite should also be of great reference value.

It took about a day to build the anti-gravity device, after which the Endless Energy sailed forward at an altitude of about two thousand meters.

Once high in the air, Bai Miao realized something.

My own pathfinding seems to lack a Z-axis at long distances.

During ascent, the navigation prompts remained in the same direction and did not change to a downward angle as altitude increased.

Kaguya only received the guidance to go to the moon after she arrived on the island.

Flying higher provides a wider field of vision; at least Bai Miao can see that land is scarce in the distance.

The idea that the Shiyan civilization might be located beneath the sea surface gradually came to mind.

The fourth cycle encountered several deep-sea fish that shouldn't be at the sea surface, indicating that something must have happened in the deep sea.

At the same time and in the same place as before, the meteorite crashed down.

This time, Bai Miao led the Endless Energy ship to follow the meteorite, avoiding the steam and waves rising from the meteorite as it fell into the sea, and stopped a hundred meters in the air.

"Get ready, I'm going into the sea."

"Captain?! You're planning to go out to sea? We can easily send out probes to investigate what's happening below; obtaining environmental data won't be too affected."

Operations Management Minister Irina knew better than anyone the impact that would occur at sea.

Wearable devices have a higher failure rate, lower visibility, and temperatures close to zero.

In such a dark and cold environment, it is undoubtedly a test of one's spirit.

"If anything happens, I can come back after the loop."

The self in the loop will be revived when the loop restarts.

This is different from Kaguya's restoration; it is a true return.

After all, the purpose of restarting is to eliminate all possibilities of error and find the right path.

Of course, another possible way to break the cycle is if you die.

But this doesn't explain why there were several sudden restarts earlier.

It can't be that Shi Yan restarted the game after failing to kill him when she saw the meteorite, can it?

"You should also know that if Shi Yan is really in the sea, then I will go down there too."

No instrument or equipment can accurately locate the smoke in the heavily disturbed sea.

Only humans can do it.

To ensure safety, Bai Miao was dressed in two layers of protective clothing.

The first layer is an exoskeleton armor, and the outer layer has an additional diving suit.

The diving suit is very heavy, with one end connected to the Infinite Energy, which can transmit information via wire and can also pull Bai Miao out of the sea in critical moments.

Bai Miao was reluctant to take other crew members out to sea. Firstly, the Operations Management Department only had one Door Knocker, and judging from his performance in the previous two searches for spare parts, he couldn't be of much help. Although he could seek help from Pent through the Door Knocker network, it was hard to say how much Pent could analyze with limited information in the unpredictable sea.

It's better to try it out yourself a few more times to find a breakthrough.

Conversely, once this person knocking on the door is brought along, it's impossible to go to sea with only one crew member; at least more crew members will be needed. If any of these crew members become mentally disturbed and go insane, it will further hinder the progress of the investigation.

Bai Miao now possesses several skills that are helpful for operations at sea, such as diving, underwater breathing, and underwater vision. It's really unnecessary to drag a few people down with them.

"Prepare to collect all physiological data of the captain after he goes into the sea. Wiener, you should prepare a psychological assessment of the captain in advance. The security department should prepare to provide support in the shallow waters. The operations management department should also send some members into the sea to collect information about the nearby waters."

Emma wasn't idle either; while Bai Miao was putting on his equipment, she was issuing other commands.

"Good luck."

The ministers stood on the deck, watching the captain descend deeper and deeper until he disappeared into the dark ocean.

The ocean did not impair Bai Miao's vision; on the contrary, Bai Miao could see even more clearly than on the surface of the sea.

The most noticeable thing is that you can see the burning meteorite right under your feet.

The meteorite's light illuminated an area of ​​nearly a kilometer in the sea, making all kinds of fish in it clearly visible.
