End of the World Crisis, My Husband is from Ancient Times

The light of the crystal ball became brighter and brighter, and the energy fluctuations became stronger and stronger. Fan Mengmeng felt like she was in the center of a storm and could be torn to pieces by this powerful force at any time.

"It's over, it's terrible!" She thought to herself.

Suddenly, the light disappeared and everything returned to calm.

The old voice also disappeared, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

"What's going on?" Fan Mengmeng carefully put down her hands that were covering her eyes and looked around.

"I don't know." Teng Junze frowned, his expression solemn. "That power just now seems to have...disappeared?"

At this moment, in the modern world, alarms sounded in the laboratory, and the shrill sound made people's eardrums numb.

Aqiang looked at the flashing warning lights on the equipment, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He knew this was his last chance. If he couldn't repair it successfully this time, the equipment would be completely scrapped.

"What the hell! What the hell is going on?!"

Dr. Zhang stood by with his arms folded, looking nonchalant, yet still sneered, "I told you you couldn't do it, but you insisted on showing off. Now look, the equipment is even worse. You're such a 'talent'!"

A Qiang gritted his teeth, suppressed the anger in his heart, and ignored Dr. Zhang's ridicule.

He checked the circuit again and again, trying to find the source of the fault.

Time passed minute by minute, and the pressure was like a mountain pressing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe.

"There must be something I overlooked..." He muttered to himself, his eyes fixed on the complicated wiring diagram.

"Don't waste your energy," Dr. Zhang yawned. "With your limited skills, you still want to repair this high-tech equipment? It's simply wishful thinking!"

Aqiang took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm.

He suddenly remembered the jade pendant that Teng Junze gave him and the strange patterns on it.

Could it be... He suddenly raised his head, a gleam of light in his eyes... "Doctor, bring me a strong magnet!" A Qiang had a flash of inspiration, and a bold idea took shape in his mind.

He grabbed the jade pendant that Teng Junze gave him and carefully examined the mysterious patterns on it.

"Could it be that the operation of energy in ancient times and modern circuits... have similar functions?" He muttered to himself, his eyes flashing with excitement.

"What are you doing? Performing a ritual?" Dr. Zhang sneered. "Stop with all this weird shit and get out of here! Don't waste your time here!"

A Qiang ignored Dr. Zhang's sarcasm and turned to his assistant Xiao Li, saying, "Xiao Li, help me place the strong magnet here at a 45-degree angle!"

Although Xiao Li didn't understand Aqiang's intention, he still did it.

The assistants around held their breath and watched Aqiang's every move nervously.

Everyone thought that Aqiang’s action this time was too unbelievable, but they also vaguely felt that maybe... a miracle would happen?

Dr. Zhang folded his arms and watched coldly, waiting to see Aqiang make a fool of himself.

"I've been waiting to see you get into trouble!" He was secretly proud of himself.

A Qiang placed the jade pendant close to a strong magnet and muttered something. Of course, what he was reciting was not a spell, but he was quickly calculating the energy formula in his mind.

As his fingers moved, the patterns on the jade pendant seemed to come alive, emitting a faint fluorescence.

At the same time, the flashing speed of the warning lights on the equipment gradually slowed down, and various parameters began to stabilize.

"Holy crap! It really works?!" Xiao Li exclaimed.

The other assistants also showed incredible expressions.

Dr. Zhang was even more stunned, his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

He rubbed his eyes, wondering if he was hallucinating.

Just when everyone thought the device was about to be repaired successfully and was ready to cheer, suddenly, a new fault prompt appeared on the screen - "Unknown error code: 0xDEADBEEF".

This fault code had never appeared before, and everyone's smile froze on their faces.

Aqiang stared at the screen, his brows furrowed, and his expression became extremely solemn.

"This..." He whispered, "It seems... it's too big..."

Aqiang's face was solemn. The sudden "0xDEADBEEF" was like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the hope that had just been ignited.

The assistants around him also fell from the peak of excitement to the bottom of the valley. The atmosphere froze instantly, and a sense of awkwardness filled the air.

"Brother Qiang, don't panic!" Xiao Li was the first to react. He clenched his fists and encouraged Aqiang, "We believe in you!"

"That's right! Brother Qiang, you are our great god! You can even handle things like traveling through time and space, so why are you afraid of this string of code?" Another assistant also echoed.

The team's trust rekindled Aqiang's fighting spirit. He took a deep breath and fixed his eyes on the screen again. The strange code seemed to be mocking his incompetence, which further aroused his competitive spirit.

"Damn! Are you trying to play tricks on me? I'll catch you!" A Qiang rolled up his sleeves as if he was fighting a cunning enemy.

He began to study the new fault prompt carefully. This string of code was like a puzzle, full of unknown challenges.

The equipment seemed to be deliberately resisting his repairs, with abnormal fluctuations occurring from time to time, parameters jumping around like a disco, and warning lights flashing as if issuing a provocation.

“The voltage is unstable!”

"Magnetic field abnormality!"

"Countdown to system crash: 3...2...1...Huh? It's working again?"

The assistants watched nervously from the side, not daring to make a sound. They were infected by Aqiang's concentration and perseverance, as if they were also in this war without gunpowder.

A Qiang, like an experienced commander, responded to every crisis calmly and constantly adjusted his strategy. The jade pendant flipped in his hand, and the position of the strong magnet was constantly changing. The whole laboratory was filled with a tense and exciting atmosphere.

Suddenly, Aqiang's eyes lit up. He seemed to have found the key point, and a confident smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Done!" He slammed the Enter key... A line of words appeared on the screen: "Please enter the password..."

Aqiang: "..."

Dr. Zhang sneered and said slowly, "Oh, young man, you are still too naive..."

The veins on Aqiang's forehead bulged. It felt like he had finally climbed to the top of a mountain with great effort, only to find that there was a higher mountain on top.

"Please enter the password..." These six words seemed to be magnified infinitely in front of his eyes with a mocking tone.

"I knew this folk remedy wouldn't work!" Dr. Zhang crossed his arms, an expression that said, "I told you so," his tone filled with disdain. "Modern technology, how can these unorthodox methods solve this problem? Get out of the way, let me do it!"

"Dr. Zhang, we have tried your method before, and it didn't work." Xiao Li reminded weakly.

"That's because I didn't do it myself!" Dr. Zhang glared at Xiao Li, "Get out of the way!" He pushed Aqiang away and started operating on the control panel.

He was as fierce as a tiger in his operations, but his record was zero and five.

The "Please enter password" on the device screen remained unchanged, as if mocking Dr. Zhang's incompetent rage.

"Hehe, this device is quite stubborn. It's trying to fight with me, right?" Dr. Zhang wiped the sweat from his forehead and pretended to be calm.

A Qiang was observing silently from the side, when suddenly an idea came to him.

"Wait!" He pointed at the screen. "The font for 'Please enter password' is different from the previous one! It seems more... retro?"

Everyone took a closer look and it was true!

The previous font was standard Arial, but now this one looks like... Songti?

"Songti? The font used in ancient times?" Xiao Li looked confused.

Aqiang's mind was working rapidly, and he suddenly thought of something.

He grabbed the keyboard and typed in four words at lightning speed: Tianwang Gaidihu.

The screen flickered, and then a line of words appeared: Pagoda suppresses river monster.

Everyone: “???” What the hell is this?

Aqiang took a deep breath and continued typing: Chicken stewed with mushrooms.

The screen displays: Beef stew with potatoes.

Everyone: "!!!"

A smug smile appeared on Aqiang's lips. It seemed that he guessed right!

The password system of this device was somehow influenced by ancient culture, and it can only be unlocked by answering in secret codes!

Dr. Zhang was stunned and looked at the side in disbelief. What…what kind of operation was this?

A Qiang ignored Dr. Zhang's shock and continued to enter the next set of codes.

This time, a line of words appeared on the screen: Please enter the activation key.

Aqiang looked at the screen and his smile gradually disappeared.

Startup key?

What the hell is this?

He looked at the jade pendant in his hand and suddenly felt that things were not simple...

"Old Imperial Master, this..."
