My ability pool is superior to others

On the central screen of the combat command center, images transmitted back by the probe were displayed, attracting the attention of everyone present.

The lunar surface in the picture is covered with craters, and the tracked probe moves silently in this environment, which seems a bit eerie.

A single launch will naturally not carry only one probe.

In fact, the military's approach to dealing with the Mona people is to conduct saturation probes only when conditions permit.

Ten of these tracked detectors were transported.

The technicians waiting next to Lü Bai reminded him at the opportune moment: "Probe No. 1 is about to reach the edge of the shadow."

The entire process went so smoothly it was chilling, so when the probe was about to touch the shadow but suddenly stopped, some of the technicians breathed a sigh of relief.

They lost control of the first detector, but the video transmission was not interrupted.

"Identify the cause of the malfunction as soon as possible."

"Activate detectors number two and three to investigate the shadow."

No useful information has been obtained yet, but fortunately they have prepared enough detectors, which provides some margin for error.

Soon, two new tracked probes drove into the shadows.

Without a doubt, these two probes, like the first probe, broke down just as they were about to touch the shadow.

No matter how I try to reconnect, I can't regain control. It doesn't seem like a disconnection; it's more like the core control unit has been damaged.

However, with these repeated samples, the technical personnel in the operations command center were able to deduce some information.

"It can be basically concluded that it was affected by the gravitational pull of the area surrounding the shadow."

Although the area of ​​this shadow is large, no energy reaction was detected. Logically speaking, only the special gravitational layer that always remains at the edge of the shadow can cause this result.

Listening to the technicians' report, the old man in military uniform did not question why he had previously judged that this layer of gravity posed no threat.

After all, the technology possessed by the Mona people is something that humans are not entirely unaware of.

It's perfectly normal to make a wrong judgment.

"Don't panic. All departments should stay at their posts. So what if the technology is unknown? Didn't we already know this when we decided to confront the Mona?"

The elderly man in military uniform turned around and looked around. He said in a deep voice, "What you need to do now is to analyze the underlying principles as soon as possible and come up with corresponding countermeasures. You don't need to worry about anything else."

Although this pep talk failed to boost morale, as he said, everyone present, whether technicians or high-ranking military officials, had long been prepared to use stone axes to counter electromagnetic guns.

While feelings of surprise and panic were present, they were not so desperate as to give up the fight.

Lu Bai sensed the overall atmosphere of the command center and stopped talking, focusing on observing the images transmitted back by the detectors on the large screen.

If that shadow is merely spreading, it will take a very long time to cover the Earth at the current rate of spread.

He guessed that the Mona people's actions were definitely not that simple.

Unfortunately, it is still unclear what the Mona people's next move will be.

However, this doubt did not last.

Lu Bai quickly noticed that the shadows displayed on the screen were gradually changing.

Simply put, it's the color of the shadow that has been deepened.

It was so deep that the lunar surface could no longer be observed. The key point is that it wasn't just simple blackness, which could be clearly discerned even with the naked eye; it was more like a profound abyss, as if even the surrounding light source had been absorbed into it.

It's not something like a black hole.

Strangely, this change gave Lü Bai a strange sense of familiarity.

Thanks to the detectors that were previously positioned at the edge of the shadow, the shadow spread and included them, allowing other detectors to observe the effects of this change on the detectors up close.

A high-ranking military officer watched in astonishment as the detector gradually regained its pristine shine, exclaiming, "Is that... time reversal?"

The word "time" made Lü Bai realize why this change felt somewhat familiar.

First, we must clarify one fact: time itself is a concept invented by humankind to facilitate the understanding of the world.

One rotation of the Earth is defined as one day. The time that the transition between the two hyperfine structure energy levels of the ground state of the cesium-133 atom lasts for a radiation period of 9192631770 times is defined as one second.

Have you noticed? Essentially, time is actually the change of the state of matter; humans simply define the periodic changes of a particular substance as time.

Therefore, even Lu Bai's [Time Flash], this seemingly unscientific and supernatural power, in principle, is only a temporary halt to the movement of atoms in a certain area.

This is already quite outrageous.

However, the changes in this shadowy area on the lunar surface are reversing the changes in the state of these substances.

Why is a time machine impossible?
Because traveling to the past essentially involves precisely reverting every atom in the entire universe to a certain state, the level of precision and energy required for this process would be so high that even all the matter in the universe could not be incorporated into it.

Fortunately, the Mona people did not go to that extent.

Even if it's just about reversing the state of matter in this shadow, this technology is almost absurd to the point of being fantastical.

The more you learn about the technology, the more you realize just how incredible this method truly is.

One technician even dejectedly lifted his hands from the control panel, his voice like a murmur in a dream: "Is this kind of civilization really something we can contend with?"

……

"Mona Civilization?"

In the newly built area of ​​the forward base, a young man stood among a crowd of anxious people, gazing up at the moon, which was mostly covered by shadows in the night sky.

"This world is really interesting."

The young man lowered his head, concealing the surprise in his eyes.

In the cultivation world he lived in, the human race held an absolute advantage and had never experienced being threatened by another civilization.

If it were a more upright person, they might think, "Those who are not of our kind must have different intentions," and see if they could help.

Unfortunately, a powerful figure like him, who came from the demonic path, wouldn't care about such things.

On the contrary, he felt that the chaos was good, as it made it easier for him to move around.

The young man smiled and pushed through the crowd, heading towards the command center.

Faced with the possibility of attacks from the Mona people at any time, the armed forces responsible for maintaining order did not have much time to focus on these ordinary people.

Therefore, the young man's journey was quite smooth, and he arrived at the entrance of the building housing the operations command center in no time. (End of Chapter)
