Yin Hongda keenly sensed Jing Youwei's predicament and quickly spoke up, "Actually, you should have already realized that we're not actually inside the drone right now."
Jing Youwei said, "This seems quite amazing..."
He neither directly admitted nor denied it.
He did feel that the drone, which was almost completely dismantled, couldn't possibly hide a person, but he was also reluctant to believe his own guess.
If the person wasn't in the drone, then where is Deputy Director Yin?
Where did that hand come from?
Many things here, if considered deeply, will lead to some surreal conclusions.
But some things can't be hidden by pretending not to see them, so...
"I really hope to get an explanation from Deputy Director Yin, otherwise I probably won't be able to sleep tonight." Xxs-2
As he spoke, Jing Youwei seemed to remember something and gave Bu Zhen a Bu Zhen.
Bu Zhen immediately understood, nodded, and quietly withdrew. He then gathered everyone waiting on the perimeter to ensure that only Jing Youwei around the drone.
Instructor Yin understood that Jing Youwei wanted to keep this a secret, so he waited quietly for a while before saying, "Actually, we don't exist in the same time and space as you. If it weren't for us opening the Spacetime Tunnel, you might never have crossed paths with us."
Jing Youwei's gaze then fell upon the Spacetime Tunnel behind the Horn. "So, that hand just now also reached out from your timeline?"
"Yes, that's one of our technicians. He's still with us, but his reach can extend into your timeline through Spacetime Tunnel."
"Even this drone you see here was launched and controlled by us through Spacetime Tunnel."
"If you still don't believe me, you can continue disassembling this drone. When you've taken it all apart, you'll find that there's indeed no one inside. Then you'll also discover the entrance to our Spacetime Tunnel..."
Jing Youwei nodded. He also noticed the cables connected to the drone's motherboard that were used for operation, and immediately understood the nature of the Spacetime Tunnel.
"So, does that mean I can also travel to your place through Spacetime Tunnel?"
Jing Youwei spoke, he took two steps forward.
Step by step, he seemed ready to give it a try.
Instructor Yin was startled. He had just reminded Bu Zhen about the Spacetime Tunnel, but he hadn't mentioned it to this person.
So he quickly repeated what he had just said, explaining the risks of the Spacetime Tunnel.
Unexpectedly, Jing Youwei became even more interested after hearing this:
" Spacetime Cutting?"
"So, does that mean any material can be easily cut?"
Instructor Yin paused for a moment before saying, "At least so far, we haven't seen any materials that can block the Spacetime Cutting."
Seeing that Jing Youwei keen to give it a try, Instructor Yin quickly added, "For us, the main purpose of Spacetime Tunnel is for communication and travel across time and space; in most cases, we won't use it to cut objects."
Jing Youwei also suppressed his own thoughts and said instead, "Speaking of which, I'm also very curious about you. Who exactly are you people?"
"We come from an organization called the ' Parallel Spacetime Mutual Aid Society,' which travels between different timelines, dedicated to cooperation and communication across various parallel universes, and providing assistance to certain parallel universes, especially those facing disasters or perhaps about to face them."
"We are currently engaged in friendly cooperation to varying degrees with countries in eight parallel universes, and your universe is already the ninth parallel universe we have come into contact with..."
"Is it the parallel universe they mentioned in the movie?"
"That's one way to understand it." Instructor Yin nodded. Even the physicists within the Mutual Aid Society couldn't explain this, so any interpretation was acceptable.
So, you want to cooperate with us?
Instructor Yin did not answer directly, but said, "We still need to gain a basic understanding of your spacetime before we can make a decision."
"In fact, we recently conducted some reconnaissance of your spacetime, but the results were not ideal..."
Instructor Yin then brought up the previous incident of the satellite and three drones being shot down, and apologized for it.
Jing Youwei suddenly realized. "So that drone from before also belonged to you!"
"Regarding that satellite, I haven't heard any related news. I'm not sure if we shot it down. It's currently in low Earth orbit."
There are indeed many anti-missile and anti-satellite weapons in the area.
Instructor Yin's heart skipped a beat, and he brought up the intelligence he had just obtained in Oceania.
Jing Youwei asked, "Weren't your drones intercepted over there?"
"That's quite normal. They were hit by a large number of Black Poplar Missile about thirteen years ago, and they broke up on the same day."
"That area is now a complete wasteland, with scarce water resources, severe desertification, and even the soil has deteriorated significantly..."
"Is there no international aid available on your side? We just discovered there are still quite a few people up there."
Jing Youwei shook his head and said, " Deputy Director Yin, you may not know this, but our planet has reached the point of resource depletion. First it was oil, then water, and now it's affecting the land. We can't even make a living ourselves, let alone others."
"Moreover, things aren't peaceful here either. Globally, there's been all sorts of turmoil over resources. The fall of Topol thirteen years ago was the outcome of great power rivalry; it was simply deserved."
Instructor Yin's eyes turned serious, sensing that he had obtained important information. He quickly asked how far the oil and water resources had been depleted.
The result shocked him.
Because in Jing Youwei's timeline, even the Middle East is experiencing oil shortages, and even shale oil-rich regions like North America are seeing a significant decrease in production.
The water source isn't much better.
The Great Lakes almost dry, the Amazon River has dried up, the Yenisei River has disappeared... Major rivers and lakes in various countries and regions are facing the risk of depletion to varying degrees, and some have even disappeared or been severely polluted.
All of this happened shortly after the oil shortage.
Therefore, after an oil war, the world immediately faced a water war...
Zhang Tianyuan had mentioned this matter at a previous brief meeting.
Because that's the basic premise of the movie: first an oil war, then a water war, and then on a Wednesday, a nuclear bomb falls, and the wasteland is born.
So Instructor Yin was aware of this as well.
However, he agreed with Chairman Yuan Heguang's theory, believing that the situation might not be particularly serious.
Who knew that asking now would reveal that these two incidents weren't just particularly serious, but rather extremely serious...
