Chapter 200, Sudden Parting
For Wang Qiu, the actual core figure in charge of time travel affairs in the late Ming Dynasty, the modern Beijing university student group that appeared in the Australian desert and the Boeing jet that crashed in the Australian coast were just the beginning of trouble. Then, various types and scales of time-travel events happened one after another like a volcanic eruption, leaving the relevant departments in a hurry.
"... Judging from the information we have learned, there have been more than 200 various time-travel incidents that have occurred continuously in the past week, involving more than 17,000 people. As for the time-travel incidents that we have not discovered, It is completely unpredictable how many incidents there will be! In short, such large-scale and high-density time-travel problems have caused extremely terrible social impact on both the modern world and the time and space of the late Ming Dynasty..."
In a smoky conference room, Wang Qiu, who looked tired and sleepy with dark circles under his eyes, flipped through a notebook and concluded.
In the past week, time and space in the late Ming Dynasty ushered in another peak of time travel, and its scale and density were far greater than the previous one.
Just looking at what has been discovered, first an off-road vehicle carrying five modern Beijing college students emerged from the desert, and then a Southeast Asian Airlines Boeing passenger plane lost control and crashed into the sea after traveling through time and space. All the more than 200 crew members on board were killed and no one survived.
Next, in front of the White House at the headquarters of the Chinese League, another Taiwanese tour group on a bus appeared inexplicably. They thought they had gone to the Window of the World theme park in Shenzhen, and they were wondering about this place. Why are there so few tourists and business is sluggish...
After that, there were all kinds of more serious chaos, one after another: two Chinese ocean-going fishing boats returning from Fiji traveled through the Kaohsiung Port in this time and space after a storm; a conventional submarine of the Chinese Navy, without knowing it, I woke up and drove to Xiamen Port in this time and space. After being watched by a group of Ming Dynasty fishermen for two full days, the crew members, who were on the verge of mental breakdown, contacted the relevant departments; there was even a decommissioned warship that served as a military museum that drifted into this time and space late one night without any warning. Weihaiweijun Port, causing a riot.
In addition, the ********* of Zhejiang Province, on their way to a meeting, somehow traveled to the West Lake in Hangzhou in this time and space. They also encountered a group of Ming Dynasty bandits and received a lot of attention. Frightened, he is currently resting and recovering from his shock at the Chinese Alliance Occupation Force Headquarters in Phoenix Villa.
What's even more terrible is that a British Antarctic scientific research station was actually transferred to the jungle of Tierra del Fuego, South America in this time and space. When it was discovered by the time-travelers, one of the scientific research team members was hacked to death by the indigenous Indians. . The remaining dozen survivors are currently "recuperating" in prisons in the East Coast Republic. The diplomatic department is struggling with how to deal with this group of British people who have "smuggled" over in modern time and space.
The most exciting time-travel occurred three hours ago. As the morning fog gradually dissipated, an 18,000-ton luxury cruise ship running China's domestic offshore routes slowly and stunned the passengers on board and the residents on the shore. Slowly sailing into the harbor of Chinatown, the headquarters of the Chinese League...
Well, although there seem to be more people crossing over on this boat, they are at least unarmed civilians, and the relevant departments can barely handle it.
But since such a huge 10,000-ton ship can cross, it will naturally make people worry: if the next time it crosses is a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier battle group, or a strategic nuclear submarine loaded with nuclear warheads, then But what to do?
Even if a group of Middle Eastern terrorists who are proficient in various suicide bombs come, they will bring huge changes to the world!
In fact, there are probably quite a few time-travel events that have already occurred but have not yet been detected.
Regarding this, many leaders of the relevant departments were so worried that they almost lost all their hair, but they were still at a loss to do anything - time travel is not something that can be banned just by trying to ban it. Just like no matter how powerful the government is, it cannot prevent the ocean from typhoons and the earth from earthquakes.
Therefore, all these troubles were ultimately blamed on Wang Qiu, the instigator.
Wang Qiu, who was also confused, had no choice but to take the "Book of Time Travel" and bravely go to the world of Doraemon. He explained the ins and outs of the matter to Nagato Yuki, an alien wise man. After careful discussion of countermeasures, we finally came to the following conclusion:
"...According to Nagato Yuki, the reason why there is a new wave of large-scale time-travel peaks now is because we stayed in the plot time and space of the late Ming Dynasty for too long and did not rescue the other people trapped in various time and space as soon as possible. The new reincarnation brings a breather to the main god system of infinite space At this time, there are signs of recovery. The most obvious direct manifestation is the frequent occurrence of supernatural phenomena-the current large-scale event of traveling to another world is just the beginning, and there may be space monsters and monsters in the future. Alien invaders are coming one after another..."
Well, it looks like it's serious, and it seems like it's going to get more serious in the future. So, how to solve this problem next?
"...the only feasible solution now is to end the activities in the current plot time and space as soon as possible, enter the next plot time and space, and save the most trapped people as quickly as possible, thereby reducing the activity of the main god system and cutting off its Possibility of starting again..."
Wang Qiu, who racked his brains and had no good ideas, had to report to the leaders in a video conference, "...To put it simply, we must cut off the connection between the modern world and the time and space of the late Ming Dynasty and end this time-travel adventure. , in order to prevent more accidental crossings from happening..." - In short, the time to retreat has come. If we don't retreat, more crossing events will continue to occur, and there will even be worse disasters!
Regarding this, the leaders of the relevant departments must not be very happy - the sanatorium using the 22nd century black technology medical props from the Doraemon plane has cured millions of terminally ill patients in the late Ming Dynasty. The response from the masses, especially the response from veteran cadres, was excellent. It was getting better and better, and some departments even had plans to export and earn foreign exchange. How could they just say they were closed?
However, if we continue to do so, it would be too dangerous, even more dangerous than a damaged and leaking nuclear reactor - nuclear pollution still has a limited scope and can be monitored at any time. But when it comes to time travel...by the time it's discovered, it's usually too late! And the scope involved is impossible to fathom: Who knows if you will wake up one day and find that the entire capital of Beijing, including people and houses, has been moved to a different world? Or even being thrown into a terrible alien world that is completely unsuitable for human survival? !
If something like this really happens, no one in the country will be able to bear such responsibility!
Therefore, after a fierce argument, the relevant departments held a vote and finally approved the plan to implement the general retreat.
"...Agree! But after traveling to the next safe world, I hope to reopen the sanatorium as much as possible..."
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
In short, despite a lot of nostalgia and reluctance, Wang Qiu and the others were finally ready to close the stall and leave from the late Ming Dynasty.
However, this is really a huge project.
While ending the business of various sanatoriums in the late Ming Dynasty, it means that tens of thousands of patients, doctors, nursing staff and security forces need to be withdrawn one after another. Meanwhile, in modern time and space, there are many new patients who are eager to catch the last shift. Then, the travelers who decided to stay and work hard in the late Ming Dynasty also hoped to use the last window of time to import more technical and literary materials from the modern world, as well as some industrial equipment and high-tech daily necessities that they currently cannot produce on their own. consumer goods, and souvenirs of personal tastes.
In addition, the government departments that invested huge amounts of money in the late Ming Dynasty also hoped to get some valuable and precious items back. Even if they were not trying to make huge profits, they still wanted to make up part of their capital - so the number further increased. Transport volume.
There are currently only two ways to safely travel back and forth from the modern world to the time and space of the late Ming Dynasty. One is through the "Book of Time Travel" in Wang Qiu's hand, which can allow up to twenty people to enter or exit in groups at a time, and bring them with them. Not much cargo. Another way is to go through Doraemon's pocket - when the cold "main god" of the infinite space suddenly collapsed, due to some dark will that seemed to come from the universe, Wang Qiu, the former reincarnation person, escaped from the space of the main god. , accidentally brought Doraemon's spare bag back to his world... As we all know, the fourth-dimensional pocket on Doraemon's abdomen is connected to the spare bag he collected. Therefore, when Wang Qiu uses the "Book of Time Travel" to lead the team into a different world that is still "linked" by the main god system, he can use Doraemon's pocket as a time and space gate to maintain communication with the original modern world. Contact and logistics supply lines are open.
Although the four-dimensional pocket on Doraemon's abdomen seems small, if it is opened with all its strength, it is enough to pass a double-decker bus!
Obviously, with such a large transportation volume, the "Book of Time Travel" in Wang Qiu's hand is not enough. Therefore, Wang Qiu had to find Doraemon again, transport him to the time and space of the late Ming Dynasty, and then borrow the [fourth-dimensional pocket] on Doraemon's abdomen to prepare to build a link to the modern world in the capital of the Chinese League in Australia. Plane channel, complete this wave of large-scale retreat missions as soon as possible, and end the dungeon strategy of the late Ming Dynasty.
In response to this, Doraemon seemed a little reluctant at first, but was eventually persuaded by Wang Qiu and others, and once again came to Australia in the late Ming Dynasty through the "Book of Time Travel", and brought a dirty [ The fourth-dimensional pocket was stuffed into Wang Qiu's hand.
"...Last time you actually had your bag stretched as big as a cave, and you even drove large trucks through this bag, and there were hundreds of them at once. The tire marks of so many trucks dyed my bag black. It’s gone! I washed it eight times with a fully automatic washing machine and it still didn’t get clean!”
While Doraemon muttered, he took out another brand new and clean white [Fourth Dimension Bag] and hung it on his abdomen, "...so for now, I'll just give this old [Fourth Dimension Bag] away." It’s just for you! I’ve bought a new bag and moved all my props over there...Okay, I don’t have anything to do now, right? I still have to go back and urge Nobi to do his homework. ! ”
"...It's okay, it's okay, thank you very much!" Taking the old [Fourth-dimensional Pocket] handed over by Doraemon, Wang Qiu said with an apologetic smile, "...I'll just use "... "The Book of Time Travel" will take you back to your original world... By the way, don't you need to bring some Australian local products back? ”
"...It's really not necessary. I'm in a hurry now. Otherwise, that guy Nobi will be lazy and not study hard again."
Doraemon yawned, waved his hands and replied, "...and everyone is almost tired of eating ostrich eggs and other famous Australian products these days. Kangaroo fur cushions and blankets, as well as decorative ostrich feathers, Nobi’s house is also stuffed with a lot of stuff...Okay, send me back quickly!”
"...Yes, yes, please wait, I'll start right now." Wang Qiu agreed repeatedly while activating the pop-up function of "The Book of Time Travel".
The next moment, with a dazzling flash of light, Doraemon's short, round, blue-white body disappeared from everyone's eyes.
Next, the people who had been waiting for a long time swarmed forward, opened the [fourth-dimensional pocket] of the late Ming time and space, and fixed it with a pre-prepared stainless steel frame to form a road tunnel connecting the two time and space. Just half an hour later, the first large truck loaded with cargo boxes honked its horn and slowly drove towards the modern world. The first batch of people evacuated from the time and space of the late Ming Dynasty also lined up in a long line and slowly walked into this time and space gate.
When everything seemed to be going well, Wang Qiu was just stretching and wanted to relax, but suddenly he thought of a very serious problem:
"...Wait a minute! Doraemon left his two [fourth-dimensional pockets] here, and then he went home on his own, which is equivalent to cutting off this bug-like interdimensional passage! Oops! How should we go to Doraemon’s world next time?”
In an instant, Wang Qiu shivered violently. Although he was facing the scorching summer sun in the southern hemisphere, he felt cold from the top of his head to the soles of his feet.
However, at this moment, it is too late and there is no way to remedy it...
Because of this seemingly insignificant oversight, Wang Qiu and his time traveling team completely lost their thickest golden thigh. ——The day of bidding farewell to Doraemon forever came suddenly without any warning...
