Chapter 656: Chapter 608: Ending the Cycle_3

However, the results of the research were also shocking.

He Xiuyu deliberated for a long time but still decided to share his findings with Qiao Qingyu; of course, these findings were not definitive and merely hinted at some secrets within.

Qiao Qingyu was also somewhat stunned. At that moment, they were inside the laboratory of the Space Device, looking around at their surroundings, which appeared normal. Subsequently, the two exited and re-entered the exterior of the Space Device.

After wandering around for a while, Qiao Qingyu incredulously said, "Is this Space Device a looping space?"

He Xiuyu nodded but added, "This is a preliminary finding."

"Are these test tubes actually made by you? Did you manufacture this Space Device?" Qiao Qingyu asked in a lowered voice, as if afraid of being overheard.

Indeed, this astonishing discovery was what He Xiuyu had researched a few days ago.

The outcome was simply unbelievable, and he could only discuss such a finding with Qiao Qingyu; furthermore, it was impossible to create a second Space Device.

Based on his research, he found that there could only be one Space Device.

It suddenly reminded Qiao Qingyu of the time she had fallen into the water in another world, catching hold of this object before she passed out—that place was the Space Device.

It seemed that He Xiuyu had saved her by sending the Space Device he researched through a time-space tunnel, or more directly, had brought her back.

Then there was another matter—why would He Xiuyu do such a thing?

Qiao Qingyu voiced her doubt, "Logically speaking, unless there’s a major event or something unexpected happened, we would grow old peacefully without such bizarre time-space loops, right?"

He Xiuyu held Qiao Qingyu’s hand, looking into his wife’s eyes. In the occasional dream, the world was not like this—there was no her in that world.

Actually, this was a very convoluted issue and according to He Xiuyu’s hypothesis, it was likely such a cycle.

In the original world, he had acquired the Space Device and could see another world through it, just like the late ancestor of the Zhang Family who saw icy snowfields and ancient times within the Space Device.

It was very possible that he encountered Qiao Qingyu, but due to the distances of space and time, she was beyond reach for him.

Such a Qiao Qingyu, he would undoubtedly love her, or perhaps at that time, the one by his side was Qiao Qingyu who had her body taken over; he knew his own character well—responsible, yet holding his heart strongly.

In such a case, like when he had just brought her back to the base, he was very annoyed and disappointed. If Qiao Qingyu hadn’t returned, it was likely that he would have kept his distance or even proposed a divorce.

Thus, his life in that world might not have been good; he would have thrown his entire energy into scientific research, and it was probably not impossible for him to unravel the secrets of the Space Device.

Then, he might have traveled through time and space to give the Space Device to another temporal Qiao Qingyu who must have encountered danger.

Then time would loop again, and the Space Device would have brought back Qiao Qingyu.

The Space Device would then be permanently bound to Qiao Qingyu.

But what concerned him was if the Space Device really was a looping space mechanism, then starting it would probably be accidental.

What kind of accident might it be?

He Xiuyu’s true feelings were not very good, but he hid them and quickly convinced himself that there was too much uncertainty in life.

He thought, as long as he deciphered all the secrets of the Space Device and ended this cycle, then the so-called time reversal triggered by an accident would cease to exist.

"You’re right, so I will continue researching."

He Xiuyu’s eyes were smiling, and his tone was very light.

As for how the Space Device was acquired, perhaps it really did have to do with the time-space loop.

But it was an eternally unsolvable mystery.

Qiao Qingyu hadn’t thought so much and still encouraged him to speed up his research on the Space Device, then extract useful parts to be quickly utilized in reality.

Of course, allowing time to flow backward should never be done.

Shortening the distance between spaces should be feasible.

For instance, between two cities.

Take Xichuan and North City, for example, traveling by train altogether takes thirty to forty hours, but what if you can reduce that time to only three hours? Wouldn’t that be akin to flying?

But in principle, it’s not the speed of flight but rather the speed of some ground transport vehicle.

Of course, a lot of work needs to be done for this; even without the Space Device, the future trains can achieve this as well.

And with the Space Device, all these could be accomplished sooner.

Seeing that Qiao Qingyu hadn’t thought too much about these aspects, He Xiuyu also felt relieved, believing his own thoughts were correct.

As long as he ended this cycle, there would be no need to worry!
