Chapter 442 Earth Fragments
In the vast and unknown river of time, mysterious scenes are always present here. The chapters are updated the fastest
The long river of time has no spatiality, it is a collection of simple concepts of time. Therefore, it has no up and down, no front and back, no left and right, and no far and near.
Just like a one-dimensional space is a straight line, for one-dimensional living beings, there are no left and right or up and down except for moving forward and backward. The two-dimensional space is a plane, and the two-dimensional living beings can only be bound in the plane and extend towards the surroundings of the plane. To them, "up and down" has no meaning.
The long river of time is even more extreme. It does not even exist in space. If there are life of "time" nature in the long river of time, then they are even worse than one-dimensional life forms in the experience of space.
However, with the intervention of Suyuan and Eternal, the concept of "far and near" was introduced in the long river of time that was originally not spatial, making things that were originally gathered for tens of thousands of light years and things that were near in front of us suddenly developed into very different individuals.
The long river of time is not without "size", but without the definition of "size". It is not without "far or near", but without "far or near". When there is no concept of spatiality, the distance between tens of thousands of light years and the distance between the nearest is also something you can touch with just a "stretch" your hand. Life forms with the nature of "time" never have to worry about whether the distance is far away.
But Suyuan and Eternal No. 1 are not good. They are spatial, so when dealing with objective things, they naturally introduce their own perspective. In this long river of time without "space", they truly experience that in the 30,000 years, the Eternal No. 15,000 light-years away from the center of the long river of time, and is 15,000 light-years away.
The maximum speed of the Eternal curvature navigation is three thousand times the speed of light, which is placed in the conventional universe. 15,000 light years will take about five years to navigate. However, in the long river of time, due to the lack of space, even time is in the conceptual state of "chaotic", this 15,000 light years distance is actually only meaningful to Eternal itself. Although it takes the energy of the Eternal "five years" to arrive there, distance is no longer a problem, just like the orbital transition of electrons in an atom can be reached in a flash.
The choice facing Su Yuan now is whether to consume the last "five years" of energy and take a look at the giant fragment.
If you go, you will run out of energy. If you don’t get anything, you will have a dead end.
If you don’t go, the energy will be consumed within "five years", and the same thing awaits her is death.

Compared with the central region, the "edge" of the long river of time is slightly worse, thus giving some opportunities for fragmented space to stay for a short time. In theory, things with space nature cannot exist in the central region, and only the "edge" gives them a certain chance of occurrence.
But in fact, even in the marginal areas with a probability far exceeding the central area, the existence of fragmented space is extremely rare.
Located on the "edge" of the long river of time. A piece of debris with a confusing luster lies quietly among many debris. It is a huge creature compared to the surrounding debris, but in the vast river, it is still floating alone.
This piece of fragment is the giant fragment found in the space machine number 227334.
...
...
At this time, it was night among the debris, the temperature was not very high, and dark clouds were rolling in the sky. From time to time, a few dazzling lightning flashed, and continuous thunder sounded constantly.
Amid the rumbling sound, no one noticed a sound that seemed to tear apart the silk, suddenly mixed with the thunder.
Taking advantage of the darkness, a huge shadow appeared in the clouds. After a short stay, a slightly tiny black dot was released, and the huge shadow disappeared as if it had never appeared.
Su Yuan landed in a small woods in a park, gently tapped the "space device" equipment on his lower wrist disguised as a watch. The next second, the protective layer that was tightly wrapped disappeared, revealing her appearance of human beings who had not seen anything unusual.
“Is this a park?”
Su Yuan looked around and found a fountain and rows of chairs not far away through the branches with sparse shadows. He immediately came to the conclusion.
The surrounding buildings have a familiar earthly style, and this discovery made Su Yuan feel a little relieved.
"It seems that the world I came to is not completely unfamiliar..."
After Eternal sent her to the fragmented space, the energy was finally exhausted. Fortunately, the existence of the space was equal to energy. Through thermal infrared equipment detection, Su Yuan ordered it to go to an area where there was no large-scale activity of living organisms to replenish energy.
This consumes the size of debris space to a certain extent, but there seems to be no other way except for local materials.
Just as Su Yuan walked out of the woods, she accidentally discovered a couple walking in a hurry. First, she confirmed the similarity between this fragmented space and the earth from her appearance. There was almost no difference in the appearance of this "person"! Then she heard the conversation between the couple. Although she couldn't hear it clearly, one thing shocked Su Yuan. She actually heard Chinese!
"Isn't this a fragment of the alien space, but a fragment with the imprint of the 'earth' in the long river of time?"
Su Yuan quickly ran out of the park and came to the downtown area. Her premonition was even stronger.
The towering reinforced concrete buildings, the quaint and local characteristics of low houses, and various shops with colorful billboards. The familiar feeling comes to my face, it’s this smell! This... is the earth, and even, this is somewhere in China.
Su Yuan came to a prosperous area and looked through the huge wall curtain: January 19, 2014, 23:12!
Her brows frowned, and she stood alone by the road and looked at the tall building, as if a stone sculpture was imposed with a fixed technique. "Today is January 19. I wonder if the space was broken on January 18 of this fragmented world. If it happened, that is, today is the second day after the space was broken?"
This giant fragment floated alone in the long river of time. This incident itself gave Su Yuan quite sufficient reason to believe that space had been broken.
After wandering around the city in a daze, Su Yuan confirmed his guess bit by bit. This is indeed the earth the next day after the end of the world. Disasters still appeared in the local news. However, due to the interruption of information, many news could not be spread.
Mobile phone communications, Internet resource sharing, financial transactions, all of which are affected. They are in a paralyzed state.
During this period, Su Yuan received information from Eternal. Eternal stayed in a desert area in the west. Because of the energy exhaustion, he had to turn on the air-energy engine to obtain energy. Before the energy reaches the minimum guarantee scale, Eternal will sleep for a short time, with an estimated time of about twenty hours.
Originally, Su Yuan left the Eternal to find out the situation of the fragmented space while the Eternal was dormant. Now the situation is clear, which means that Su Yuan still has twenty hours to do independently. He came to an Atm machine and inserted the only bank card on his body, but it was not surprising that the communication was not established. Not only did he withdraw the money, her bank card was also swallowed by the machine.
This result made her helpless. She patted her empty trouser pocket with both hands and took out two red 100-dollar bills from it. With a few pieces of money, she actually had less than 300.
"Oh, find a place to settle down first. When the Eternal Number will be released from hibernation tomorrow, take it to Haizhou..."
In fact, the reason why Su Yuan decided to come to this broken space at the beginning was mainly because there was no way. The real environment forced her to have this fragmented space on the edge of the long river of time to try her luck. At that time, she planned that even if she could not find a way to leave the long river of time, she could at least get some energy to take it away. It would not be a waste of time.
However, when she discovered that the fragmented space was a broken "earth", her thinking immediately changed.
Does this mean that she can go back to Haizhou to play a time machine?
This is the long river of time. When the [retracement] or the time machine jumps through the world line, it is necessary to go through the long river of time. So, if you are already "half-way", when the [retracement] ability is not effective, can you use the time machine to enter the crossing process again to escape the constraints of the long river of time?
This is the only way Su Yuan could think of, and there is a considerable possibility.
Regardless of whether this method could work or not, she decided to go back to Haizhou. Although this method was equivalent to giving up the Eternal, compared to being able to leave the long river of time, the Eternal has given up even more.

"Do you want to check in?"
In the lobby of a small hotel, as Su Yuan stepped forward, the young female boss raised her head and came back to her senses from the series being played on the computer.
Su Yuan nodded silently, looked at the female boss in surprise and said, "Has the Internet been cut off?"
"It's broken. This is a TV series I downloaded. Fortunately, the power has not been cut off, otherwise I don't know what to do. I'm used to the days of having a network and electricity, and one day I suddenly lost it and I'm at a loss. I don't know what happened outside."
The female boss looked average, and a little surprised flashed when she looked at Su Yuan, "A girl is wandering outside alone in the middle of the night? Do you have no male companion?"
"Well, I'm just alone. I just wanted to withdraw some money. Who knew that the Atm machine could not be traded, and I even swallowed my jam."
"That's really unfortunate. If you can't get it back, you'll probably go to the counter to report it tomorrow."
Su Yuan nodded in agreement, "Can you give me a standard room? Can it be considered cheaper?"
"Be cheaper?" The female boss raised her eyebrows slightly, then looked at the clock on the wall, and said cheerfully: "Okay, for it is already half of your price, how about 40 yuan in total by nine o'clock tomorrow morning?"
"It's half past one?"
Su Yuan looked up at the clock on the wall in surprise. It was indeed 1:30 in the morning, and he had been wandering for so long.
