Chapter 268 - Breakthrough

Turning off the survival radio, Fang Heng frowned.
Looking back at the entire mission process, he felt that one thing was the strangest.
Since Night Owl could enter the game ahead of time and cut off the mission line, why didn’t he just take the meteorite away and completely occupy the mission line, instead he chose to destroy it?
Didn’t they want to complete the main storyline mission?
Their goal couldn’t be purely to destroy the world, right? This was too stupid.
Mo Jiawei had collected all the meteorite fragments. Seeing that Fang Heng was still in a daze, he couldn’t help but ask, “God, what do you say?”
“Let’s go back first. The mission has not been hinted as ‘failed’, so there’s still a way.”
Right now, Fang Heng could only think of Qiu Yaokang, who was in the shelter.
With Qiu Yaokang’s strength, he might be able to repair the first-generation meteorite.
Just as they left the cave, Zhang Yan walked over with his mercenary group.
Aalto asked anxiously, “Colonel Fang Heng, what’s the situation inside the cave?
Fang Heng nodded in response according to the prepared explanation.
“Unfortunately, Dr Kevin had an accident while he was studying the first-generation meteorite. The final result was that the living creatures in the cave mutated. ”
“We have roughly cleaned up the mutated creatures in the cave. There shouldn’t be any danger shortly.”
“But the problem hasn’t been completely solved yet.”
“This cave has been completely contaminated by radiation. There may be an endless stream of mutated creatures in the future. When the number of mutated creatures has gathered to a certain extent, they may come back again.”
Aalto’s heart sank.
For the islanders, staying on this island would still be dangerous.
“Don’t worry, Aalto. We’re good friends. I won’t just stand by and watch. How about this? I’ll send a team over to help guard the island and clean up the mutated creatures in the cave every once in a while.”
“Ah, this…
Aalto was touched.
Hint: Your favorability rating with Aalto and the islanders has slightly increased.
“Colonel Fang Heng, thank you so much.”
“It’s a small matter. It’s better to survive in this apocalypse. We should help each other. What do you think?”
“Colonel Fang Heng, I think you’re right.”
Fang Heng put his hand on Aalto’s shoulder.
“But the people in my shelter are picky. The food here is relatively simple. I will have to send Ovo cooks over.”
“Also, it’s a bit inconvenient to transport materials, so I want to build a space tearing device on the island. What do you think?”
“Judging from the time, the meteorite should have been damaged for almost half a year.”
In the research room of the shelter, Qiu Yaokang was plugging in the detailed analysis report of the first- generation meteorite.
“And the internal structure of the meteorite has been destroyed and lost its vitality.”
“It can be seen that the person who destroyed the meteorite was very targeted.”
“This meteorite has lost its research value.”
The more Fang Heng listened, the more he felt that something was wrong. He asked, “Even you can’t fix it?”
“The current technology can’t fix it.”
“What about in the future?”
Qiu Yaokang looked at Fang Heng. “Unless there’s a breakthrough, it’s impossible to fixit in 20 years.”
Fang Heng opened his mouth. He felt that his last glimmer of hope had been destroyed.
“Is it a dead end?”
“No, it can’t be said to be a dead end. Unless you can find the meteorite through other methods.’
“Is there another way?
Fang Heng smiled bitterly. “Don’t tease me. Are you talking about looking forward to another meteorite falling from the sky?”
“Yes, this is also a good idea.” Qiu Yaokang looked at Fang Heng with admiration.
“I think you’re mocking me.”
“No, I’m serious. From the perspective of probability, this is more reliable than us finding a way to repair the meteorite fragments within three years.”
Qiu Yaokang continued to work with his head lowered.
“But I think you have a better choice. I suggest you ask Victor.”
“Ah? Victor?”
“Ask him? He knows about meteorites?”
Fang Heng was stunned.
He did not understand what the relationship between meteorites and Victor
Why did he have to ask Victor?
“Hmm? Did he not mention it to you? Meteorite Company’s space fissure technology.”
Qiu Yaokang looked up at Fang Heng in surprise.
“Oh ya, that’s right. You’ve been out recently.”
Qiu Yaokang explained calmly.
“Last time when I was having dinner with Victor, we talked about it.”
“We’re in an endless universe. From the perspective of probability, somewhere in the universe, there will be the same galaxy, the same planet, and the same meteorite…’
“Uh… you mean a parallel world?”
“The Meteorite Company believes that there is a special connection between these similar worlds.”
“This is a project that the Meteorite Company is developing. Last time, you brought some relevant information from the mansion and Victor took it to study.”
“Theoretically, we can…”
“Bang!!”
Qiu Yaokang, who was halfway through his sentence, looked up and saw the heavily closed door. He could not help but shake his head.
“Seriously, young people nowadays don’t have any patience.”
He was rich! He was rich!
Fang Heng was extremely excited. All he could think of was the word ‘rich’.
Parallel universe?
No! It was not that simple!
If his guess was right…
This was definitely not an ordinary concept of a parallel universe!
It was…
Fang Heng rushed to Victor’s laboratory and explained his purpose for coming.
“Indeed, this theory exists. The Meteorite Company has done in-depth research in this area. Previously, I’ve seen related research content from the blueprints obtained from the Meteorite Company’s office, and found the connection between different parallel universes.”
“Recently, I have also been conducting research in this area.’
Victor brought Fang Heng to the large-scale space tearing device in the basement of the shelter.
“Through the large-scale space tearing device, we can think of a way to connect to the parallel world and open a space tunnel.”
“In theory, this plan is feasible.”
Fang Heng swallowed his saliva and carefully asked, “How far have you progressed?”
“With the information obtained from the mansion to supplement the theory, it has been temporarily perfected.”
Victor thought for a moment and continued, “If we want to successfully open a passage, we still need to improve the performance of the space tearing device and make some modifications and upgrades to the device.”
“Level up requires a lot of rare resources. In addition, to open a passage requires a lot of energy.”
“How much does it require?
“Massive.”
As he spoke, a game hint flashed in front of Fang Heng’s vision.
