"Wait, didn't you hear what I said? Even the slightest friction in these parts could cause errors. Forget these four components—even the section that's already been built might have to be dismantled and redone..."
Before the Star Calculation Engine could finish speaking, Luo Jun had already installed the first component according to the blueprint. The process was incomparably smooth, without the slightest hitch.
Then Luo Jun studied the blueprint again, picked up the remaining three parts, and installed them just as smoothly. With that, the Time Machine's hardware was completely finished.
"And then? What's the third step?" Luo Jun looked at the Star Calculation Engine, utterly nonchalant.
"Wait... let me test it first." The Star Calculation Engine extended several mechanical tendrils and thoroughly scanned the completed Time Machine. After a long while, it finally confirmed, "You really succeeded?!"
Luo Jun shrugged. "What do I do next?"
"Next comes calibration." The Star Calculation Engine pointed one of its tendrils at the machine's dials. "The knobs represent the event, coordinates, and status parameters of the target location... Since the time span is so long, manual adjustments have to be made with extremely high precision." As it spoke, the Star Calculation Engine listed several parameters.
"It has to be accurate to five decimal places?" Luo Jun froze. "But the markings on these knobs only go down to tenths."
"Because you're traveling across too great a span of time. If it were only a few years, such precision naturally wouldn't be necessary," the Star Calculation Engine explained. "And you're returning to the original true timeline. If the parameters don't match, the traversal could fail. This machine demands extremely high precision, and wear during operation can also cause problems, so you only get one chance. If it fails, you'll have to build another one... And
