Xingtie: Can’t you just let me focus on completing the commissions?

and many more,

Speaking of normal people,

Mr. Emiya suddenly frowned, as if he had just remembered something about the members of the Genius Club.

"Black Tower, have you received an invitation from the Star of the Grand Gathering?"

"An invitation? I don't know, maybe there is one, but I'm not interested in Pinocchio."

"No, I think you should be interested."

Emiya suddenly turned serious and spoke to the Black Tower.

"You and Screws can both go there."

"reason?"

"The fifth partner you're missing might just be right there."

"Who?"

"Calderon Chadwick".

Upon hearing the name, Black Tower's expression showed a moment of blankness, but he quickly thought of the person who belonged to that name.

Before her, Screwgoom had already spoken up to provide more information about the name.

"In conclusion, the 79th member of the Genius Club, an expert in solid-state physics, imaginary number application theory, and orbital mechanics."

"I was once invited by the Interstellar Peace Corporation to invent the 'Imaginary Number Collapse Pulse (Good Zhao Zhao) Strike'."

"Since the flame of life was ignited within me, on this long journey through the stars, I have rarely encountered a soul truly worthy of the title 'genius.'"

"Ms. Black Tower is one, and Chadwick is the other."

"However, he is not an immortal being. It has been two Amber Ages since he last contacted me."

"At that time, he should have been around fifty years old."

"Is it possible that they underwent genetic modification by the company, thus extending their lifespan?"

"Do not."

Emiya interrupted all of Screw's speculations with a calm tone.

"he died."

"His 'memory' was extracted by the company and stored as a 'memory bubble,' imprisoned in Pinocchio, solely for the sake of his most glorious achievement."

"Imaginary number collapse pulse."

The moment the words fell,

The cold, imaginary energy transformed into a surging tide, sweeping through the entire office like a raging storm.

Geniuses,

His face showed anger.

Chapter 278: Imaginary Number Collapse + Moon Throne = Directly Mining Star God Old Deng's Private Gold Mine.

Calderon Chadwick.

This name was unfamiliar to Nguyen May and Stephen, and was even considered insignificant.

Because the research areas do not overlap.

For researchers like ScrewGumm and Black Tower, who are experts in all fields,

Chadwick's various papers on "imaginary numbers," "physics," and "space" have become key formulas for solving some important research problems.

Unlike Heta, a genius who has already traversed several Amber Ages and undergone rejuvenation,

Chadwick was a purely short-lived species; his life lasted only a few decades. Perhaps his achievements in all fields are insignificant compared to the Black Tower, but the pinnacle of his life's work still commands respect even from the Black Tower today.

"Imaginary number collapse pulse".

This thing, in its sole appearance, destroyed dozens of antimatter legions, along with three civilized planets within a star system.

Planets capable of supporting life and fostering civilization are rare in the universe, and they are certainly not clustered together.

It achieved a level of destructiveness that many envoys could not even dream of upon its very first appearance.

Most importantly, this weapon doesn't require authorization and power from a star god like the Commander; rather, 393 genuinely seized divine power using a human body.

even,

With the push of a switch, even a one-year-old child could destroy multiple inhabited planets in a galaxy.

After the first launch of this weapon, Chadwick realized he had unleashed a "true demon." To prevent the company from gaining complete control of the weapon, he quickly disbanded his team and managed to take away and destroy much crucial data and information while the company's upper management was investigating and vying for power over the "Imaginary Number Collapse Pulse" project.

Subsequently,

"The last time I saw Chadwick was about two Amber ages ago. He wanted my help to get a drug from Ms. Yu Qingtu through me."

"This drug can block his memories and even lock down his self-awareness, preventing him from being disturbed by any truth serums, hypnosis or similar methods."

"Shortly after that, Chadwick disappeared without a trace. I inquired with the company about the doctor's whereabouts, but the company claimed to know nothing about it."

Despite being an intelligent machine, this ruler of Screw Star possessed a gentler nature than many humans. It spoke softly.

“I promised him that if he was willing to seek refuge, Screwstar could be his home for the rest of his life.”

"However, he said he was unwilling to evade his actions... It's a pity that he was once a genius with the talent to benefit billions of lives."

"I've also skimmed the theory of imaginary collapse pulses. Beyond being a weapon, it can directly create 'imaginary tips' in the 'real number space,' causing unstable collisions of imaginary energy that send waves of imaginary tides into the real number realm. If these unstable imaginary tides can be gathered and then converted into 'real number energy,' it's equivalent to obtaining clean energy 'from nothing.'"

To gather and consolidate the unstable imaginary energy,

How to perform the conversion of "real energy"?

sound,

Does that sound familiar?

Emiya stroked his chin, the image of the special device originating from the Honkai family flashing through his mind.

Is the combination of Moon Throne and Imaginary Number Collapse a viable option?

Mastering these two technologies is equivalent to directly mining the private gold mine of the Star Gods and Old Deng.

If these two technologies could be combined and then miniaturized...

Those spacecraft that travel in space probably won't need to worry about fuel and energy anymore.

The one thing the Tree Sea Universe has in abundance is imaginary energy. This thing is almost inexhaustible. If it were to run out one day, it would only mean that the universe had reached its end.

If someone is truly willing to confront the company head-on, Mr. Emiya believes this technology could bind him to the role of a shareholder, as it is self-evident which is more valuable in the modern environment: a gold mine or an oil mine.

Unfortunately, as the Interstellar Peace Corporation has come to this point, its competitors seem to have lost their will to compete.

"How about cooperating with Xianzhou? But we need to get Chadwick's technology first, or rather, rescue him."

Thinking of this, Emiya then spoke to Screws, Gom, and the Black Tower.

"Mr. Chadwick appears to have been placed under house arrest by the company after that. The company has been trying to extract knowledge from his mind, and Yu Qingtu's medication seems to have played a role in preventing the company from obtaining that information before his death."

"Later, the company joined forces with the people of Liuguang Yiting to extract his memories immediately after his death. While preserving his consciousness, to ensure his vitality, they sent him to 'Pinocone,' where he has lived under house arrest by his family since that moment."

After Emiya said those words

Black Tower's expression also turned somewhat gloomy.

As a fellow researcher, Heta even felt a certain empathy for Chadwick's experience.

She had once encountered dogs on the planet Azure who wanted to forcibly imprison her and use her as a research tool.

Now, hearing about Chadwick's ordeal, the faces of those people from back then begin to surface in her mind.

“Screw Gum, perhaps one of us really needs to attend the Stars of the Grand Gathering.”

She turned her head and looked at the monarch of the planet Screw, her eyes flashing with cold light.

“He can die, but he shouldn’t be kept in a cage as a pet. And, most importantly, geniuses… shouldn’t be treated like this.”

"In conclusion, as stated, I will go to Pinocchio in person."

"I propose that we unite with geniuses to put pressure on the Interstellar Peace Corporation, and that such things should be stopped from now on."

"Leave this to me. I'll try my best to contact some guys and get some joint signatures."

Although they intended to confront the company head-on, most geniuses were unwilling to offend the Interstellar Peace Corporation too much. After all, this biggest financial backer in the universe was not only the source of income for the Erudite Society, but also the cash cow for many geniuses.

Even the simulated universe has received investment from the company, and the Black Tower space station beneath our feet is a research institute wholly funded by the Interstellar Peace Corporation.

We can't afford to break off relations.

However, it is also necessary to make the Interstellar Peace Corporation realize its attitude towards geniuses.

Chadwick was no ordinary employee they could easily bully.

Instead, he was the one whose gaze fell upon the erudite one of the eighty-odd geniuses born only once every few hundred Amber Ages, a continuation of the wisdom of the Star God.

"This is not just for Chadwick, but for all scholars, all geniuses."

“Even Interstellar Peace Corporation has absolutely no right to plunder our academic achievements.”

"We have the right to decide the ultimate direction of our research findings."

Chapter 279: This girl will give you two punches.

The plot of Pinocchio,

Emiya remembered the events up to the day of the God's Birthday; after that, he had already transmigrated.

But based on the plot details that are currently known,

Sunday.

The Dream of Taiyi

It's probably a necessary step.

Many key characters are involved in this part of the story, including Yomi, the Star Iron Mei; Black Swan, with whom Emiya once collaborated; and the true seafaring ranger, Portio.

Apart from trains,

Too many cosmic forces are involved—among them,

Family, Company, Ocean Ranger, Star Train, Star Core Hunter

Most importantly, it inevitably involves two star gods.

An Order Taiyi who has already fallen,

One, a fellow believer who assimilated the destiny of order.

Putting aside the Star God, Huang Quan, the self-destructor, Sha Jin, the gambler who borrowed the power of the Guardian Envoy, and the God of the Sun who finally appeared, are all genuine Envoy-level characters.

"I also need a true Commander-level combat force."

Bringing geniuses into the game is a casual move, but if it can be effective, all the better.

"Pinocone, Ah Xing will share the same fate. Perhaps, I will also have a chance to save some of the older passengers on the train?"

There are indeed very few nameless passengers on the train now. If we can win back the few who were previously nameless, it will greatly increase our fighting strength for the rest of the journey.

As they continued on, Emiya's precognitive abilities regarding the plot disappeared. He was fairly familiar with the strength of everyone on the train, and while he wasn't afraid of encountering a single Envoy, he was somewhat lacking in skill when facing multiple ones.

If we could bring back Tiernan, who made great contributions in the war to kill the Great King Zhuluo, from the void, the train would undoubtedly have a new capable general.

"It's time to call Ah Xing and March 7 back."

With things settled at the space station, Emiya returned to the Honkai world, went back to Sky City, and immediately sought out Himeko and Welt.

Both of them are currently with Anti-Entropy. Upon seeing Emiya arrive, Himeko smiled and spoke.

"Judging by the time, you should be arriving soon. The train is scheduled to depart for Pinocchio in the next couple of days. Let's get back to the train first. Anyway, you have your Aurora Curtain here, so we can return anytime."

"That's what I mean too."
