"Temporal tunnels, to put it simply, are like a door," Shang Qi used the simplest analogy he could think of so that Jiang Jiang and the others could understand him thoroughly. "When the door opens, the inside and the outside can connect."
"The research objective of the North City Research Institute is to open this door."
"Then what is the purpose of opening this door?" Jiang Jiang was still completely in the dark about what was being explained.
Shang Qi glanced at Jiang Jiang. His expression remained unchanged, as always. He picked up some food for Su Ling with his chopsticks and his slightly cold voice sounded, "The purpose of opening this door is to connect the present with the past, to return to the past from the present and change the course of time."
Jiang Jiang wasn't stupid. By this point, he had basically understood. "In other words, once this door opens, one can travel through time and space, right?"
"If that's the case, will this doomsday situation be reversed? Will the doomsday not happen?"
Jiang Jiang had also watched sci-fi and mind-bending movies.
With Shang Qi's detailed explanation, he combined his past viewing experience and immediately grasped the concept.
However, there was one point Jiang Jiang still didn't understand. Before Shang Qi could respond, Jiang Jiang looked at Shang Qi and continued to show his questioning prowess, "Then, what is the necessary connection between this research and the giant python you encountered?"
It was after asking this question that Jiang Jiang suddenly understood.
"Roar!" Jiang Jiang's face lit up with realization. He looked at Shang Qi and Su Ling, a rare display of cleverness. "In other words, the giant python you encountered is very likely a result of this temporal tunnel research, like the door you mentioned, Shang Qi Ge, opening up. And this giant python is very likely related to this open door, is that right?"
It had to be said, Jiang Jiang was quite intelligent this time, directly grasping the essence of the problem.
Shang Qi thought he would have to explain things in excruciating detail, but thankfully, Jiang Jiang's comprehension was decent, and it also resolved his doubts.
Shang Qi looked at Jiang Jiang and nodded. "Su Ling and I suspect that this door has opened, but due to technical issues, there has been temporal chaos, sending creatures from years after the doomsday to the early stages of the doomsday!"
"What!" Jiang Jiang expressed great surprise and astonishment. "Creatures from years after the doomsday?"
"In other words, this giant python, it mutated and evolved over many years of doomsday to become as large as a basketball court, as you described? In other words, it is a product of temporal tunnel chaos?"
"Not a product, but a creature sent here by the chaos," Shang Qi said lightly.
At this point, Jiang Jiang and the others understood. Jiang Jiang spoke again, "Then when are you leaving? Are the three of you enough to handle it?"
Although he hadn't seen what a giant python the size of a basketball court looked like, he could gauge the difficulty of the matter.
The North City Research Institute in the doomsday was off-limits to non-senior personnel. Any attempt to force entry would surely lead to a fight.
Therefore, Jiang Jiang believed that the more people they could bring, the better, and they should not be careless!
"It's enough." Shang Qi's voice was somewhat flat, without any discernible emotion. "Originally, according to the plan between Ling and I, it was enough for just the two of us. But since the mobile castle is your sanctuary at the moment, we cannot take it with us."
"And Qin Yun has been undergoing psychic ability training. We'll see if he can establish his personal mobile castle. If he can, he will accompany us on this trip to North City, and his mobile castle will be our means of transport."
"If not, Ling and I will have to resort to the most primitive method of travel: driving to North City ourselves."
