After reading the ten questions, Hei San began gathering people to solve them.
However, some problems could not be solved simply by throwing more people at them.
"This problem has no solution at all."
"Then you need to prove that it truly has no solution. That itself is also a solution."
That was right. Proving that a problem was flawed and had no solution was itself a solution.
The problem was that even this was difficult to prove.
So they had to continue researching.
And so the days passed.
A hundred-year countdown hung over Gear Time.
At first, everyone was full of confidence. They felt that with so many people gathered together, they would surely be able to solve the problems.
Even if the other side had given them unsolvable problems, they could prove that the problems were unsolvable.
Yet they discovered that the problems were simply too difficult.
Problems that seemed simple required profound tools to solve.
It was like sending someone into the sky.
It seemed as though a kite could lift a person up.
But if one truly wanted to fly into the sky rather than merely glide, one had to invent hot-air balloons, even airplanes.
The other side's problems were like that.
Every one of them looked easy on the surface, but was extremely difficult to accomplish.
For example: "How can the grandfather paradox in time travel be resolved?"
You could say it could not be resolved and give that as your answer.
But you needed evidence. You needed practical operations.
How could that be done? Did they have to travel through time? If they had that ability, would they still need to worry about the world being destroyed?
In short, the related problems were far too difficult.
When half the time had passed and fifty
