Chapter 813: Chapter 17 The Big Show Begins_3 Chapter 813: Chapter 17 The Big Show Begins_3 “I can guarantee you that if there’s any temporal flux, any change in the space-time curvature, no matter how minute, my Space-Time Clock will detect it and display the proportionate magnitude,”

“Even if the magnitude of change is only 0.00000000001, the degree on the dial will become 0.00000042001...

It’s no problem at all.

I had already taken this into account when I designed the Space-Time Clock.”

“Including the very first digit.”

Liu Feng’s index finger moved forward, pointing towards the leftmost side of the Space-Time Clock, at the sole zero in front of the decimal point, and continued,

“If there’s only one digit displayed before the decimal point, what if the magnitude of the space-time change is so vast that it breaks through the sky, reaching the hundreds of thousands, millions?

Would my Space-Time Clock just crash then?

Of course not.@@@@

How could I make such a simple mistake?”

...

So that was it.

...

Lin Xian understood.

The number of digits displayed on the Space-Time Clock could adjust automatically according to the value, so there was no concern for precision.

But this led to an even bigger problem.

“That’s right, Liu Feng,”

Lin Xian explained:

“Don’t doubt what I’m about to say.

Just take my words as truth and then reason from there.”

“Firstly, I am certain that the Space-Time Butterfly Effect and the temporal flux did occur.

Moreover, they happened after the last time the Space-Time Clock showed a change to 0.0000042, so theoretically speaking, the space-time curvature should have changed, but your Space-Time Clock didn’t detect it.”

“Secondly, the magnitude of the temporal flux this time was very small, almost having no effect on the future development trajectory or the world lines...

Of course, I’m just saying it’s almost negligible.

In reality, I can’t measure how significant it is, but it’s definitely there, albeit small.”

“So, let’s reason it out—”

“[Why did the temporal flux clearly occur, but there was no change in space-time curvature, and the world lines didn’t leap or deviate?]”

Lin Xian’s question also triggered Liu Feng’s contemplation.

This is called elasticity!

So, how should one understand this elasticity in terms of space-time?

Lin Xian tried to summarize.

Perhaps, just as minor ripples of the Butterfly Effect cannot cause a visible temporal flux, a minor space-time change is like a spring, unable to provoke a qualitative transformation, has the potential to be restored, and also to be repaired.

Then,

[How can one cause an irreversible, irreparable change to the spring?]

Everyone knows the answer.

Force creates miracles!

If you apply enough force to pull, twist, or destroy the spring, you can permanently eliminate its elasticity, never allowing it to return to its original state.

Perhaps this is the true meaning behind those uncorrectable, irreversible anchors!

Similarly,

Space-Time Elasticity also works in the same way—

[Only a sufficiently large magnitude of temporal flux can truly break through Space-Time Elasticity, causing an irreparable, irreversible great change in The Future World; and in turn, make the space-time curvature change, causing the space-time world line to deviate and leap.]

“It turns out...

that’s how it is...”

Lin Xian had an epiphany, as if the heart’s elixir had poured into his mind.

“I’ve got it.”

Lin Xian looked up at Liu Feng:

“I’ve figured it out, Liu Feng.

This is the true nature of Space-Time Elasticity!”

He stood up and began pacing the laboratory:

“Small space-time changes can be repaired and restored, so they can’t directly trigger changes in space-time curvature.

Simply put, space-time and history are like a spring with elasticity...”

“If the force exerted on it is small, it will always eventually return to its original state at some point.

We’re not clear on the principle just yet.

Maybe space-time and history have some self-repairing capability...

Just like the ocean can purify itself, perhaps, space-time also has some self-repairing, self-correcting functions.”
