The system Chen Ping described at this moment actually had a rather resounding name on Blue Star: the Cradle System. In computer systems, however, its name was far simpler and more blunt—the Watchdog Timer.
The main program continuously sent out watchdog-feeding signals, and the watchdog system continuously received them. The moment the signal was interrupted, the watchdog system would immediately act. It was that simple, and yet utterly impossible to counter.
Rank 9 Fixed Cannonballs that could only be activated after receiving a signal might perhaps be prevented from detonating by blocking the signal source. But who would dare stop a signal that refreshed the countdown of a machine of destruction that remained ready to activate at every moment?
This was the so-called Cradle System. If you did not properly rock the cradle, the child inside would burst into tears. In that situation, stopping the rocking would only make the child wake up faster.
In truth, Chen Ping had no time at all to go beneath the Star Dou Forest and bury Rank 9 Fixed Cannonballs there. Nor could he possibly create a stable Cradle System capable of continuously transmitting signals. Otherwise, if the signal were interrupted even once for any reason, the Human World might truly face utter annihilation.
However, that did not stop Chen Ping from using a concept that had never existed on Douluo Continent to frighten Di Tian. After all, once someone understood the concept, anyone who believed such a system existed would have virtually no way to break it.
If it had been Xuan Zi or Du Busi telling Di Tian that they had set up a Watchdog Timer beneath the Great Ferocious Land, Di Tian might not have believed them.
But when Chen Ping, who had the spectacular achievement of blowing up Ye Xishui
