Introduction:

Syrian deserter Sakiko Toyama will never understand why other girls' bands are noisy, multi-person groups, while she can only play drums, guitar, sing, and keyboards like Talking Tom, with the ghosts and phantoms of her predecessors appearing behind her.

It wasn't until Shoko Toyokawa donned the mask and became the unyielding doll-like witch that Sakiko realized the extent of her unease. It wasn't until she witnessed Sukuna Ryoumen being slain by Motoyo Nagasaki's gravity field that Sakiko belatedly realized the extent of the entanglement she faced with her many cover songs.

"Where did this come from? Is this still kirakiradokidoki's Bondori?"

Yes, twenty political multiple-choice questions.

Yes, the essay section is strictly controlled and lasts for three hours.

But finishing this doesn't bring relief, because this is just a mock provincial exam. The actual provincial exam? It'll be next February, I suppose.

There's never enough time for the civil service exam's aptitude test, and half an hour is always left for the essay section so you can take a nap.

Sigh, the national civil service exam, sigh, it completely drains my brain.

I'll start updating normally on the 2nd. I originally planned to start writing after the exam, but my mind went completely blank. I was completely drained and have nothing left.

I'm thinking about whether I can update 6 words a day this month, even though it will still be split into two chapters. I'll just consider it as practice for my ability to write long articles.

The series is still three or four chapters away from completion; it would have been finished if it weren't for the national civil service exam.

That awful national civil service exam!

Chapter 47: The Anti-Entropy Incident! (4000/6000)

On February 20, 2000, the appearance of "a pair of blue-green light wings so large they covered the Eurasian continent" was achieved through the combined efforts of Tianming Anti-Entropy and public relations teams from various countries.

"Lightwing? I heard from experts that it's like a mirage of the aurora borealis? Anyway, they used a bunch of technical terms, so I guess it's what they say it is."

"I heard it's a strange phenomenon caused by the great mastery of qigong by the immortals of Shenzhou. Think about it, the legends of immortals have been passed down for thousands of years. Now that so many qigong masters have been exposed as frauds, wouldn't the immortals have to show off their divine power?"

"What kind of bullshit immortals are these? I'd rather believe it's an alien invasion."

……

In just three days, it became a rare natural phenomenon, and even though rumors and gossip continued to circulate among the people, it ultimately remained just a strange urban legend.

It's not that strange, but when you think about it being in 2000, you can let it go.

"No, the thought that what's being covered up is a miracle doesn't make me happy..."

"With that messy hair, shouldn't I be the one complaining now?"

At the Yellowstone base laboratory of the US Anti-Entropy headquarters, Tesla is holding a tablet and browsing the internet to see what other regions are saying.

The technology of Tianming Anti-Entropy is not visible to the general public, but the technology that leaks out between the fingers is enough to make the Internet penetration rate in China reach more than 10%, which is quite a terrifying figure when combined with the current population of China.

However, even in a country as large and diverse as China, the relevant comments were still suppressed by the authorities and the Far East branch, who used the waning popularity of "qigong" to gloss over the matter.

As for North America, just spread the plague to the church, and they'll be happy to extoll its deeds as Lord.

Even though Destiny and Anti-Entropy completely broke ties after the Second Honkai Impact, they still held a rare consensus on the matter of concealing the Honkai:

Knowing won't change anything, so it's better to keep it a secret.

Adhering to this principle, even the [miracle] that Phoenix displayed was concealed.

As a sentimental person, Dr. Red Lobster had no objections. Although the boy's fate was uncertain, life on Earth still had to be peaceful.

Those wings of light were enough to cover the entire Eurasian continent, which spans 54,759,000 square kilometers. It's only thanks to the public relations efforts of the two organizations that this matter was managed to be suppressed.

“We can’t control them. Even the United States of America, which we cooperate with, has a subtle change in attitude after Bush made the call.”

"Uh, messy hair, how come you've become so... um, so perceptive?"

He's more than just perceptive! He's downright sharp! What triggered this guy? Could it be that the truth was being covered up? But normally, this would just be another cleanup operation after the fact.

"Their ambitions have gone too far, to the point that they want to turn around and blackmail us."

Einstein looked down at the tablet in his hand, which was still playing the recording of the last session from three days ago.

Although the footage recorded was somewhat distorted due to the Honkai energy at the time, Einstein didn't care. Instead, he stared at the machine and suddenly muttered:

"He should be at an age where he's playing, but instead he's doing this kind of thing in a place like this... It shouldn't be like this, he shouldn't be in the war. If even children have to participate in the war, we'll all go crazy..."

Tesla could hear it, yet felt she didn't understand it. She felt a chill run down her spine, as if something strange was about to "hatch" out of the bird's nest.

No, that's just my imagination. She and Chicken Hair were both staying in the Yellowstone base and didn't go anywhere. How could they have been affected by the second Honkai?

"Dr. Tesla, do you think our anti-entropy approach will one day be banned?"

"Probably. After the Honkai is destroyed, Anti-Entropy will naturally disband, right? Our original intention was to use different methods than Schicksal to deal with the Honkai. If the Honkai is gone, there is no need for Anti-Entropy to exist."

"Yes, our initial intentions were all good, but unfortunately, those who joined later did not understand this goodness and became puppets in the struggle for power."

Einstein put down his tablet, beckoned Eins to turn on the display, and tapped:

"Our first task is to eradicate the remaining factions within the organization, ensuring that only our voice is heard throughout the organization."

“If the leader is too kind-hearted to do something, I will do it. This is what I should do as an executor.”

Einstein wasn't ignorant; he just couldn't be bothered with such unorthodox methods.

However, after Walter Young went into seclusion to recuperate and allied countries suddenly put pressure on him, the usually indifferent and conservative doctor seemed to be driven to desperation, and his methods slid from one extreme to another.

All because anyone who has seen those wings of light will never forget the beauty that emanates from them.

Even if one is temporarily deprived of the right to speak, as long as one is alive, one will surely meet [miracle] again.

Perhaps it would be more than a decade later? Einstein had a vague, unfounded premonition. She had never liked unfounded intuitions, but even she couldn't discern any pattern in this die thrown by God.

Just believe it; belief doesn't need a reason.

"I don't want the world to be a mess when the boy comes back."

"So, before these countries can indulge in their pipe dream of uniting to bypass our technological blockade, I will nip their dreams in the bud."

"Okay, okay! I have no objection! Go ahead and keep up the good work, you 'chicken head' hairstyle! I'm going to find Walter now. Take good care of your health, don't stay up too late again, bye!"

Einstein was so charismatic that he gave Tesla the feeling that "if I slowed down even a little, I would almost be caught and instantly refined."

Wow, what a novel thing this is, a blue-haired person sending off a black-haired person?

After Tesla walked away, Einstein patted her cheek; the crisp sound and slight pain invigorated her.

The Second Honkai Impact ended with the destruction of the Herrscher, and the remaining Honkai Beasts were wiped out by subsequent forces.

The Second Herrscher caused the greatest loss in one instance, with the four meteorites it dropped. Apart from that, in the final battle on the Siberian plains, only one person went missing...

A boy who appeared like a flash of light and disappeared like a flash of light.

"It's time for anti-entropy to be integrated; no one can stand aside."

Einstein muttered to herself as she looked at the documents submitted by her subordinates, leaving the decision to her:

"The Leviathans have a daughter. They have never been involved in Honkai-related research, but they have made some progress and even made contact with Anti-Entropy members? Are they researchers or spies? They could be brought into the organization."

"The application to use the recovered First Divine Key to research artificial intelligence, with data on the Prometheus AI in the knowledge base of the previous civilization, is entirely possible to create an AI system controlled by anti-entropy. As for its purpose... linking the world, that's also approved."

If more people had believed in the boy back then, would he not have had to leave?

With this mindset, Einstein approved this research project, which seemed to waste funds meant for anti-entropy.

As for the Corruptors recorded in the Dead Sea Scrolls, we can only deal with them as they come. We can't be afraid to develop technology, or we might as well go back to being cavemen.

According to Walter Young, who survived, the golden machine used a psycho-frame, but he was too exhausted on his way back to Earth and didn't have time to analyze Phoenix's internal structure.

Zhao Si's arrival and departure left behind only a GN Solar Furnace, making one sigh at how hastily he came and went.

"What a pity, if only we could mass-produce psycho-frameworks..."

Einstein shook his head and continued dealing with the matter of anti-entropy, consciously beginning to consolidate power.

Meanwhile, Tesla quietly approached Walter Young's room, knocked symbolically on the automatic door, and then swiped his card to enter.

"Walter, I think we need to discuss...wait, wait, wait, wait! What is this?! It's so big?!"

"Don't worry, Tesla, it's just a normal phenomenon."

"How could something this big be normal?!"

Tesla touched it directly; it was scalding hot, but not burning, and could be held in one hand.

Her face flushed slightly as she looked at Walter Young, and with a hint of surprise, she cupped the scalding crystal in her hands after he nodded affirmatively.

"The core of the Herrscher of Reason is more than ten times larger than before. This doesn't make sense..."

"Perhaps it was after I deciphered the principles and internal data of the GN Drive that I casually modified the outer shell of the Herrscher of Reason's core, giving it some changes."

After the defeat of Exia, Zhao Si entrusted the GN Drive to Siegfried's Alahato, allowing him to take it back to Anti-Entropy headquarters.

For the Herrscher of Reason, nothing is more attractive than cutting-edge technology. Before he could even fulfill the promise he made before going into battle, Welt Yang plunged headlong into the research of the GN Drive.

After studying the GN Solar Furnace, the next step is to modify the core of the Herrscher of Reason.

Walter Young paused for a moment, and after summarizing the whole story, he continued:

"After disassembling the outer shell of the GN Solar Furnace for internal research, it is not difficult to find that the energy of the GN Solar Furnace comes from topological defects, using energy potential differences to generate energy."

"Inside the GN Drive, tiny black holes are captured to create energy potential differences. GN particles themselves cannot generate energy, but rather generate energy through a certain energy potential difference they carry. Therefore, the GN particles released by Exia are merely containers."
