Safety Declaration and Abandoning Development

Professor Edward continued, "The so-called Safe Zone is located around the edges of the city and about fifty kilometers above it. We can see a thin curtain of light protecting us. This light curtain is like a protective shield."

"Apart from Electromagnetic Waves, no material can pass through this curtain of light."

"And time on Pangu Continent passes a hundred times faster than inside the Safe Zone."

"Only a vote by the entire population can revoke the Safe Zone. Once that happens, this curtain of light will disappear, and the ratio of time flow will return to normal."

With time moving at a hundred times the normal rate, observing the outside world from within the Safe Zone was like watching a fast-forwarded movie. Plants grew wildly at visible speeds; birds flew faster than sound, even faster than Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles; insects darted about like missiles.

"We have observed many ordinary plants and animals on Pangu Continent."

"But we have also observed a small number of extraordinary species..."

Upon hearing this, Li Chunhong and Professor Zhang Hui exchanged a glance.

In the room, a colonel from the military asked, "Professor Zhang, how is this flow of time controlled?"

Professor Zhang gave a bitter smile. "That question is truly beyond the comprehension of current science..."

"I can only answer it from the perspective of science fiction. I once read a novel called
