Chapter 1104 -18 The Late Comet (Extra for the Alliance Leader Trapped by Heart’s Gate!)_3
“As long as I have the Time Shuttle Machine by 2024, I can accomplish a lot of things, travel back to the past, and gather more information.”
“I suspect that the person who caused the massive disaster in 2400 also lived in the same era as me. So, brace yourself, Gao Wen, think of this Time Shuttle Machine as sending me back to the past.”
“The culprits you can’t catch, I will help you catch them! The massive disaster of 2400 that you can’t stop, I will help you stop it!”
Lin Xian’s bold words somewhat lifted Gao Wen’s spirits.
However.
In an instant.
He frowned, looking at Lin Xian:
“You want to take the blueprints of the Time Shuttle Machine back to 2024?”
“Exactly.” Lin Xian nodded. freewёbnoνel.com
“You want to build the Time Shuttle Machine in 2024?”
“Exactly.”
Lin Xian nodded again:
“And by 2024, I will have the Space-Time Particles, as long as I build the Time Shuttle Machine, I can travel through time.”
“What’s the matter, Gao Wen? Why the long face?”
Seeing Gao Wen’s melancholic expression, Lin Xian was puzzled:
“Isn’t this victory within our grasp? I have the energy-charged Space-Time Particles, and you have the complete blueprints of the Time Shuttle Machine… If I just take them back to 2024 and build it, isn’t everything perfect then?”
But.
Gao Wen still closed his eyes and gently shook his head:
“It’s no use, Lin Xian, you can’t build the Time Shuttle Machine in 2024.”
“I didn’t say it has to be built exactly in 2024.”
Lin Xian smiled:
“Even if it’s two years later, or even three to five years later, I can accept that. You don’t need to be so strict.”
According to Lin Xian’s best expectations, it would be ideal if the Time Shuttle Machine could be built within a year and a half, to avoid any further complications.
But he was also mentally prepared, such a large project could definitely not be done easily and simply, no need to force the impossible.
So, Lin Xian thought, if Liu Feng can build the Time Shuttle Machine in three to five years, it would still count as barely completing the task.
Just don’t drag it out for ten or eighteen years…
If it takes ten years, that is simply too distant, unattainably so.
“I’m sorry to tell you, Lin Xian.”
Gao Wen spoke earnestly:
“Not even in three or five years, not in thirty years, nor in fifty years, you will not be able to build the Time Shuttle Machine.”
“Why?”
This statement was completely incomprehensible to Lin Xian.
He looked around, recalling the level of technological development in Donghai City, which was not very high, far less than that of first-tier cities in China in 2024.
If this era, with such level of technology, could produce a Time Shuttle Machine, why couldn’t the even more advanced 2024 do it?
Moreover…
This huge Time Shuttle Machine right in front of him, wasn’t it manufactured in the City of Sin, which resembled a “slum”? How high could its technical content be?
“Where’s the difficulty?”
Lin Xian asked:
“If it’s a matter of technology not meeting the standards, or a material not meeting the standards, just provide me with the relevant information, and I can also copy it and take it back.”
“No no, you’ve misunderstood, Lin Xian.”
Gao Wen shook his head, picked up half a piece of chalk from the table, and walked towards the small blackboard at the end of the lab:
“The technical difficulty of the Time Shuttle Machine is not so great, the technological level of 2024 is more than sufficient. After all, Chen Heping and I were able to build a Time Shuttle Machine even in an environment like the City of Sin, indicating that there isn’t any insurmountable scientific and technological calm in this equipment.”
“In terms of theory, I can provide you with the manuscript, it’s not a very hard thing to understand. You said you already have the necessary Space-Time Particles, indeed these are no longer issues. But still…I must tell you Lin Xian, in 2024, it’s absolutely impossible to manufacture a Time Shuttle Machine.”
“Because, to construct a Time Shuttle Machine, an isotope of a radioactive element must be used to make the calibration module, and in 2024, this isotope does not exist on Earth.”
Having said that.
Gao Wen wrote a few words on the small blackboard—
[Astatine-339]
“It’s the radioactive element, the isotope of astatine, Astatine-339.”
“Doesn’t exist on Earth?”
Lin Xian shook his head:
“I remember my chemistry teacher explaining, all elements in the universe, exist on Earth, there are a total of 118 elements on the periodic table.”
“Among them, 94 natural elements can be found on Earth, while the remaining from element 95 to element 118 can also be synthetically produced in labs.”
“It’s just that these synthetic elements, mostly superheavy elements, are radioactive, so many elements can only exist for a very short time after synthesis, with the shortest half-life being only a few milliseconds before they decay into other elements.”
“But even if they can only exist for a few milliseconds, you can’t say these elements don’t exist on Earth, right? Moreover, if they can only exist on Earth for a few milliseconds, then anywhere in the universe, the half-life would be the same, it’s not possible that there are elements in the universe that don’t exist on Earth.”
“If there really are any… then it can only be said to be irresponsible science fiction, after all, the atomic structure of the entire universe is fixed, at most having only 118 protons, so the entire universe can only have up to element 118.”
Lin Xian had read some reports, saying that labs around the world, including large particle collider labs, have been trying to synthesize element 119, which means adding one more proton inside the nucleus, but they have never been successful.
The chemistry teacher indeed said that all elements in the universe exist on Earth, at the time Lin Xian also felt it was somewhat magical, even somewhat hubristic, but later some data showed…
