During this period of time, they have used up all the fruits of human wisdom.
From neutron colliders to quantum entanglement detectors, from geological plate stress analysis (Wang Dezhao) to multidimensional space curvature calculations... all methods have been tried.
The result was nothing but a jumble of chaotic, contradictory, and uninterpretable garbage data.
The entire research effort has come to a complete standstill.
They were like a group of blind people groping in a pitch-black room, unable to even find the walls.
Lin Che's seemingly fantastical and childlike statement was like a purple lightning bolt that tore through the endless night!
It didn't bring any answers, but it instantly illuminated the faces of everyone in the room!
Are the stars crying?
A completely new, disruptive research direction, one could even say one that contradicted the tenets of their lifelong learning, suddenly appeared before everyone—
The source of the disaster may not be a simple geological or spatial problem.
It does not come from the earth beneath our feet, nor from a distorted spacetime.
Or did it come from...the heavens?
It's related to a... legendary, mythical Pokémon that can grant wishes!
Chapter 84 Poor Porygonz Z! Mentor: What are you doing here, kid?
The temporary base in the Kunlun Mountains, thanks to the "new direction" provided by Lin Che, has been completely transformed into a high-speed, precision instrument.
The researchers' eyes were bloodshot, yet gleamed with fervent passion. The rapid, heavy tapping of keyboards created a sea of data, and they were the tireless navigators of this ocean.
The information provided by Lin Che was like a key, unlocking a small part of the iceberg of the spacetime laws of the Stardust Cave.
However, when Pandora's box is pried open even slightly, what is revealed is not necessarily all hope.
"Alarm! Alarm! High-energy reaction detected in Data Analysis Room A-3! Repeat, high-energy reaction detected in Data Analysis Room A-3!"
The piercing alarm suddenly shattered the tense and orderly atmosphere within the base.
In the corridor, several researchers, who were holding coffee and preparing to continue their all-night work, paused. The metal cups slipped from their hands and fell to the ground, spilling scalding liquid all over the floor.
A-3 Data Analysis Room.
A researcher wearing black-rimmed glasses and with hair as messy as a bird's nest was slumped in a chair, his face pale.
Before him, a polygonal beast Z, composed entirely of data, was convulsing violently.
Its once smooth, Blu-ray-like program body is now being eroded by countless violent, scarlet gibberish, as if infected by the most vicious computer virus. Strings of unresolved error codes scroll wildly across its virtual skin.
"Hold on! Polygon Z, execute the 'self-repair' procedure!" The researcher's voice was shrill and distorted with fear.
In response, Polygon Z suddenly raised its head, which was flashing an unusual red light.
In its electronic eyes, there is no longer the docility and intelligence of the past, only pure, disorderly chaos.
"Roar--!"
A roar, completely foreign to its program library and mimicking the cry of some ferocious beast, exploded from its data transmitter.
The next second, it moved.
It wasn't a normal hovering drift; instead, its entire body suddenly lunged forward, using its data-driven head to slam into the special alloy wall of the analysis room, which was strong enough to withstand missile attacks!
"boom--!"
There was a deafening bang.
A clear dent appeared on the wall instantly, and countless sparks spread outwards from the point of impact.
"Quick! Control it!"
"It's gone mad! Its core code has been corrupted!"
The security personnel and researchers who rushed to the scene were all horrified by what they saw.
This Polygon Z is one of the top performers in the base, and is specifically responsible for processing the raw data containing chaotic spacetime laws recovered from the Stardust Cave 617.
Those data are the echoes of the universe, fragments of time, and mixed with the negative emotions accumulated by Kirachi during his thousand-year slumber, stemming from countless desires.
The continuous high-intensity work finally broke it down.
"Stop it! Its behavior is mimicking the speedhound that Consultant Lin Che has!"
A sharp-eyed researcher screamed in alarm.
Before the words were even finished, the "crazy" Porygon Z made another move.
It abandoned its attempt to ram into the wall, instead crashing heavily to the ground. It then began to writhe on the cold metal floor in an extremely bizarre manner. Its stiff, polygonal body was desperately mimicking the slithering movements of some creature.
“No… this time it’s Hakron…” someone muttered to themselves, feeling their worldview crumbling.
Is a data sprite mimicking the movements of a flesh-and-blood human being?
This can no longer be explained by program malfunction; it's a nightmare for digital life.
The base's leader rushed over and, upon witnessing this comical yet terrifying scene, turned ashen-faced.
The most terrifying thing happened ten minutes later.
The Polymorph Z, surrounded by the crowd in a corner of the cafeteria, seemed to be completely enraged. Its separated, arm-like data blocks began to spin rapidly, and terrifying energy fluctuations gathered from them.
The intensity of that energy caused all the elves present to let out uneasy growls.
"It's a trillion-dollar shockwave! Scatter!"
"It's going to destroy the cafeteria!"
Panic spread instantly.
The researchers screamed and scattered, hiding behind dining tables and load-bearing columns.
Just as the destructive energy was about to be released, a mental barrier appeared out of nowhere, precisely enveloping Polygon Z and forcibly interrupting its energy accumulation.
It was the Alakazam, the Elite Four-level Pokémon of the base manager, that made the move.
Even so, everyone looked at the Polygon Z lying on the ground, still flashing red light, with a hint of fear in their eyes.
“It’s no use, Researcher Li.” The person in charge walked to the distraught young man and patted him on the shoulder with a heavy heart. “Its core has been completely contaminated beyond repair. For the safety of the base, I must apply to my superiors to force-format it.”
"format……"
Researcher Li's body trembled violently, and the last glimmer of light in his eyes went out.
For a data sprite, formatting is tantamount to death. All its memories, personality, and bond with its trainer will be completely erased, turning it back into a cold, lifeless string of initial code.
"No... Minister, please give me a little more time..." he pleaded, choking back tears.
The person in charge silently shook his head, his eyes filled with reluctance, but rules are rules.
Amidst this atmosphere of despair, a calm voice rang out.
"Perhaps, I can give it a try."
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Lin Che had already appeared there at some point.
"Consultant Lin?" The person in charge was taken aback.
"It's you?" Researcher Li looked up, as if grasping at the last straw.
Lin Che didn't say much, but gave the frowning researcher a reassuring look.
Amidst the complex gazes of the crowd, filled with curiosity, doubt, and a hint of anticipation, he gently waved his hand.
A uniquely shaped and elegant elf, entirely silver-white in color, slowly floated out from behind him.
Zhixing, the Shining Great Universe Monster.
It hovered silently in mid-air, without revealing any powerful energy fluctuations, yet it possessed a unique aura that was vast and mysterious, not belonging to this planet.
Its colorful eyes seemed to contain the nebula of the early universe, deep and serene.
Zhixing slowly floated to the Polymorph Z, which was still twitching on the ground and emitting meaningless electric hissing.
The berserk Porygon-Z seemed to sense some kind of threat, its body glowing brightly red as it attempted to gather energy once more.
However, Zhixing simply watched it quietly.
The next moment, a gentle, pure, yet irresistibly powerful spiritual force emanated from Zhixing's star-like eyes.
This force is neither an impact nor an attack.
Like an invisible and intangible web of starlight, it gently enveloped the Polymorph Z, and then slowly, thread by thread, seeped into its chaotic core data stream.
The pupils of the Psychic-type Pokémon trainers present suddenly contracted!
They could sense that it was a way of using spiritual power that they had never seen before, and that was at an inconceivably high level!
Under the guidance of Zhixing's spiritual power, the raging, disordered, and unruly red data was gradually calmed and sorted out.
Those negative emotions—despair, lamentation, and resentment—that lingered deep within the code and originated from Kira's wish-granting power, were like snow meeting the rising sun, completely purified and melted away by that pure power from the universe.
The messed-up program was recompiled, and the broken logic chains were repaired one by one.
The entire process was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone held their breath, witnessing what could only be described as a miracle.
A few minutes later.
The abnormal red light flashing on Polygon Z receded like a tide, and the last trace of crimson was completely dispelled.
Gentle, stable programmed blue light has returned to it.
The chaos and rage it had witnessed vanished, and it regained its former clarity and intelligence.
It shook its data head, looked around somewhat blankly, and finally its gaze fell on Zhixing in front of it.
No hesitation.
Polygon Z floated up slowly, affectionately nuzzling Zhixing's silver-white body with its head, emitting a series of crisp electronic sounds representing joy and gratitude.
The crisis has been resolved.
Researcher Li, seeing his partner whom he had lost and then found again, could no longer control his emotions, and tears welled up in his eyes. He bowed deeply to Lin Che.
The way the researchers around Lin Che looked at him completely changed.
