"But did history have bugs too?"
Like Jiang Menghan, Angelia rarely played games,
so she did not relate to this as readily as Hacker Miss Caroline and Su Wen did, and was visibly confused.
But upon hearing that,
Handsome Scholar merely calmly laid out all the information he and Angelia had found in the Great Library before setting out:
"In the original historical records,
tomorrow night,
the internal star enclosed by the Silver Ring would undergo a sudden superstellar core contraction and temperature surge, while the control program would suffer a malicious attack from an unknown source.
An extremely covert and powerful virus would quietly spread through the system,
altering the energy core's operating parameters and throwing the enormous output of the stellar energy transmission device into chaos.
Thus, in an exceptionally foolish decision, in order to guarantee the quality of life for the inner ring's First-Class Citizens,
Silver City would directly and artificially cut off the already unstable energy supply of some Third- and Fourth-Class Citizens in the outer layers.
But,

"Online protests and a general strike."
Using modern Europe as a reference, Duke Miss immediately gave her answer.

Hearing an answer beyond anything she had imagined, Duke Miss lightly covered her mouth.
"Was it because of fluctuations in energy output
that they shut down the oxygen supply and internal circulation
