Volume Reading 416

Level power is really useless.

It's just that Mei's state is too special now.

Now, maybe one second, Mei's subject consciousness is still in a certain parallel world in the past of this scp universe, and the next second it will go to the future.

Not even that.

The lens turns.

The nineteenth century, like the rest of the world, was in the midst of an industrial revolution.

Of course, to say the importance of the Industrial Revolution would be a repeat of the same old tune, but the problem is that among many theories about the origin of the Foundation, the nineteenth century is also one of the time points and origins of the Foundation's birth.

So, in the 19th century, this time point in the SCP universe was quite delicate.

However, the nineteenth century of this time and space has produced some strange changes that are different from normal time and space.

In this time and space, London has entered the industrial revolution with the help of brass computers. The difference engine computing center stands in the city, like a huge pyramid. Inside the pyramid with thick smoke, gears, connecting rods, Punched paper tapes are processing and calculating vast amounts of data, and one of the major projects is the surveillance of the people of the capital.

That's right, the world line of this time and space has entered the style of steampunk for some reason.

Let's start from the beginning as to why it all happened.

In other words, in this time and space, after the leader of the Conservative Party, the war hero, the Duke of Wellington, who defeated Napoleon, was assassinated in an explosion, the Byron family, who became the British Prime Minister, gained incomparable prestige.

And the daughter of the poet and statesman has an unparalleled scientific mind, known by all scientific researchers as the "Queen of Difference Engines", and has an unmatched talent in mathematics and computing. And her cooperation with the creator of the difference engine, Sir Babbage, has made the UK's technology and productivity become the world's first leader again, not only in Europe, but the world.

In this time and space, the technological progress brought by the difference engine has turned the face of Europe upside down, the substantial increase in productivity has led to a drop in commodity prices, and commodities made by industrial assembly lines have appeared in the streets, and all this has brought about this era. For the worship of science and technology, the status of scientists even surpasses that of the nobility. People are chasing the trend and fashion of science. Difference engines of various forms and structures have been applied to all aspects. Even the police station has its own difference engine.

And for obvious reasons, this time and space, the temporary headquarters of the Foundation's predecessor was at the center of the Difference Engine.

"Speaker, we have something to report."

Of course, as the earliest prototype of the scp foundation, what they have now is only a small office. Several of the hired clerks don't know what their specific tasks are, yet this small office with no house name has astonishing resources, and their right to use the difference engine is the first sequence , simply put, anyone gives way to them when they have a computational need.

In addition, their real managers are also great.

At the same time, May Byron, the leader of the British scientists in this time and space, was sitting on a chair, and her bodyguard was quietly accompanying her in the corner of the room.

"So the Royal Foundation for Strange Thing Control/Containment/Protection discovered a ck-class reality reconstruction crisis not long ago?"

In other words, at this point, this May Byron may be considered by many to be May, but in fact it is not.

——————Or, not quite.

At this moment, as said before, with Mei choosing to actively spread her avatars throughout the SCP universe at all points in time, everything changed.

This is the so-called vest way.

Today, Mei Zao has transformed into hundreds of millions, and their identities are also different.

Even in terms of gender and appearance, and even age groups, Mei's incarnations now have different boundaries.

It's like a serious Zhengtai version of Mei, a three-no loli version of Mei, an underworld girl's version of Mei, and a lazy royal sister's version of Mei.

Therefore, these different versions of Mei's encounters are naturally good and bad.

For example, the camera shift, a parallel line of possibility at the modern time point of the scp foundation, there is a loli version of Mei who also entered the foundation.

"Well, I know it's hard to explain this question simply - Dr. Mei, what do you think time is?"

It just so happens that the Foundation members of this possible universe are discussing the topic of time with the Loli version of May: "I think time is a coordinate of the space-time in which we exist, and it is the most special coordinate in the four-dimensional universe— - For us, because for us, time is irreversible unless containment is used."

I have to say that at this time, the questions asked by the Foundation members who talked to the Lolita version of Mei were still very level.

Fortunately, the answer given by the loli version of Mei is also very interesting.

"Yes, it stands to reason that time is irreversible, because it itself represents discontinuous continuity. It marks each picture with a serial number, telling others which picture is placed in front and which picture is placed. In the back... It can be seen as a shackle of cause and effect. When time is out of control, these coordinates are out of control, and the world is no longer in control.
