"So... that piece Xu Linna has is a fragment of the time-controlling meteor core?"
"What's her agenda?"
Zhang Chen asked with a look of surprise.
While creation and destruction were terrifying, their power was, to be honest, based on reality.
But time could alter reality, rendering everything meaningless.
It could be said that the prerequisites for time meteorites and energy meteorites were stability; only then would everything else be stable. If it became chaotic... then nothing could be said for sure.
Zhang Chen remembered that when he went berserk, it was the time energy that reset the chaotic meteor core to its normal state.
This meant that the time meteor core could not only reset the entire world but also perform localized resets.
If Xu Linna reset all her enemies to a state where they didn't recognize her, or reduced their strength to that of ordinary people...
Then she would be an invincible existence!
Tang Houde seemed to notice Zhang Chen's concern and continued to explain:
"However, the energy of the time meteor core fragment is limited. It requires the creation meteorite to provide energy for large-scale time resets."
"Now that the world's control center has been destroyed, and the energy supply has been cut off, Xu Linna can only perform localized resets with the time meteor core fragment. And the duration of the reset is also very limited!"
"I believe her purpose for wanting this meteorite fragment is more for experimentation rather than combat!"
"Experimentation?" Zhang Chen asked in surprise.
"Exactly. The biggest cost in scientific experiments is continuous trial and error. Even if the theoretical model is established, various unforeseen difficulties will still arise during actual experiments!"
"If there were abundant experimental materials and personnel, these difficulties could still be overcome through sheer quantity to achieve a qualitative leap."
"But now it's the apocalypse. Both experimental materials and personnel are scarce."
"Especially crucial DNA fragments of high-level mutated creatures, which are extremely difficult to extract and are scarce. If an experiment fails, no one knows when enough experimental material will be obtained again."
"I suspect Xu Linna will use the time meteor to repeatedly reset experimental materials, thereby improving experimental efficiency!"
"She might even reset the entire laboratory on a small scale. If she does that, even if she conducts ten thousand experiments, no time will have passed in reality!"
"In that case... things that would normally take over a decade to research could be completed by her in an instant!"
Tang Houde said with a solemn expression.
"Since the time meteorite is so helpful for experiments, why don't you use it?"
Zhang Chen asked.
"Actually, I have already completed the experiments for projects that required them. Our goal is to unite the Reincarnators to end the apocalypse and establish a new world order!"
"But Xu Linna has always advocated for the elimination of all outsiders, transferring their powerful consciousnesses into powerful bio-mechanical bodies and merging them into a part of the apocalypse."
"Xu Linna has even repeatedly emphasized that humans hiding on the lighthouse are too weak and dare not face the apocalypse..."
"I never expected her to actually dare to attack the lighthouse. If Captain Huang's team hadn't been there, all of humanity might have been annihilated by now..."
"She's a lunatic!"
Tang Houde still felt a sense of dread thinking about it.
"I think she might not care about your lives, because I received information that clones were discovered in the underground laboratory in Nuanyang City!"
"They are cloning your native experiment personnel!"
"I suspect Xu Linna intends to eliminate all Reincarnators and then establish a civilization of native clones that are obedient to her!"
"After all, the genes are yours, and memories can be transplanted. With replicas, the existence of the original body becomes less important!"
Zhang Chen recounted the discoveries of Mo Ran and Shirley in Nuanyang City to Tang Houde.
Tang Houde's expression grew increasingly grim, and in the end, he clenched his fists in frustration.
"This woman is truly insane. I thought she was doing this to force us all to accept her idea of consciousness transfer into bio-mechanical bodies."
"I never expected her to want to replace everyone directly!"
Tang Houde paced back and forth in anger, then seemed to recall something. He returned to his original position and said with a grave expression:
"I believe Xu Linna's experiment has not yet begun, because if she has the time meteorite, and the experiment has started, then the experiment would already be successful!"
"She still needs a crucial experimental material, which is the first-generation bio-mechanical humans."
"Currently, all the bio-mechanical humans we have created cannot stably maintain human form and internal physiological structures."
"However, the first-generation bio-mechanical humans precisely meet her experimental requirements, possessing stable human forms, but their consciousness is chaotic, and they have severe violent tendencies."
"I know you happen to have a first-generation bio-mechanical human with you. You must protect her well; Xu Linna will definitely target her!"
"Moreover... once she succeeds, all Reincarnators and us will become unnecessary to her."
"She will kill us without hesitation!"
"Before we can solve the apocalypse, she is the biggest obstacle!"
Zhang Chen nodded. If nothing else, this woman was unforgivable for hurting Xiaobai.
"By the way, I've seen your footage before, and people are looking for you. Do you have a way to end the apocalypse?"
Tang Houde nodded and said:
"The apocalypse can be ended. We have created a device based on the weather that absorbs energy from the apocalypse, which can dilute the apocalypse's energy to the lowest level!"
"According to the law of energy attraction, a sufficiently powerful energy body is required to activate this device to absorb all the escaping energy of the apocalypse."
"Although Gromos can absorb energy and even connect the world's energy to other parallel worlds, the energy of other parallel worlds is far less powerful than our world's. Premature connection will only lead to energy leakage."
"And Gromos itself is a part of the apocalypse, so it is far from qualified to activate the equipment!"
"Now that you have obtained the Creation-Destruction Meteor Core, you are the best candidate!"
"Find me as soon as possible, and let us end this apocalypse quickly!"
Tang Houde said this, then looked beside the camera and said:
"I've said most of what I needed to. My energy is limited, and I can't have a long conversation. I've already sent the coordinates to Captain Tang!"
"I hope to see you soon! Goodbye!"
After Tang Houde finished speaking, the image instantly disappeared.
