Everything is ready.

Today's task: explore the Time Rift!

But...

Before that, we need to conduct a small experiment to understand the specifics of the time flow condition. Is it that three seconds in the external world equals thirty years inside the Time Rift, or regardless of how many seconds pass outside, thirty years have passed inside the Time Rift?

If it's the latter.

Then we can't stay inside for even a minute. Who knows how many years would have passed? The steel cable would have long turned to dust, and the train would be permanently lost within the "Time Rift".

...

Soon enough—

Everything was ready.

Zhang Yi operated his mecha, grabbed the steel cable, the other end of which was tied to a heavy object, and forcefully threw the steel cable ten meters into the Time Rift again. This time, it took a full minute before retrieving the cable.

"..."

Inside the train cabin, Chen Mang looked at the steel cable Zhang Yi handed over and compared it with the one from before. There was almost no difference, which means even if a minute passes in the external world, thirty years have also passed within the Time Rift?

"Is that right?"

He frowned slightly, not quite able to understand the situation within the Time Rift, but at least it proved the former condition. Li Shiji and the others could stay inside the Time Tunnel for a full minute without any problem.

"Have the brave one and Li Shiji prepare to set off."

"And Ai, you also send a body inside to check the situation."

"Yes!"

A minute later.

With a sudden retraction of the steel cable, a Level 1 train was pulled out from the Time Rift. The Time Rift is extremely difficult to observe with the naked eye, making the whole scene appear as if a train had suddenly materialized out of nowhere.

The scene was extremely... sci-fi.

As soon as the train was pulled back, Ai, standing inside the train, spoke up: "Master Mang, that body of mine didn't bring back any information, the database is empty, no sign of clearing, it looks as if nothing was ever recorded."

"Hmm."

Not long after, Li Shiji pushed open the train cabin door, walked to the second level of the train cabin, and only stopped in front of Chen Mang, who was standing at the control panel, where he spoke in a hoarse voice with a serious expression and a hint of shock in his eyes.

"Master Mang!"

"That Time Tunnel, as the brave one said, indeed has an unclear concept of vastness, estimated to be at least hundreds of thousands of kilometers wide. Humans have no concept of distance for this number, but it looks somewhat like it's right in front of us."

"Without an accurate reference object, it's impossible to judge how wide the tunnel actually is, just that it seems very wide."

"The sides of the tunnel are all flowing light."

"Strangely enough..."

"The flowing speed is very slow, like river water."

Li Shiji glanced around, picked up a flashlight from the table next to him, aimed it at the ground, and continued after turning it on: "Look, when I turn on the flashlight, the beam instantly reaches the ground, you can't see the trajectory of light at all, right, that's the speed of light."

"But inside that tunnel."

"You can clearly see the beam flowing forward like a spring."

"Besides our train, there is nothing else in the entire tunnel, the train behind only half a steel cable visible, no sign of any teleportation gate."

As he explained, he simultaneously painted on the screen next to him with his finger, quickly stopping his actions: "Master Mang, it looks roughly like this inside."

"..."

Chen Mang squinted slightly, looking at the appearance of the Time Tunnel on the screen. To be honest, he wanted to see that grand scene for himself, but Fixed Star is so large, it simply can't enter this Time Rift.

"I previously threw a telescope into the Time Rift, did you see it?"

"No."

Li Shiji shook his head: "Although our Level 1 train can't fly, in the tunnel, the train is suspended in mid-air, faintly feeling a weak push. If it weren't for the steel cable dragging the train, we would likely head to the end of the Time Tunnel."

"At the end of the Time Tunnel, perhaps it's... another world."

"It could also directly appear in the universe."

...

Chen Mang remained silent, no longer speaking. Although he very much wanted to see what was at the end of the Time Tunnel, it was evidently a bit unrealistic. The "Solar Energy Panels" cannot be dismantled and sent in.

There is indeed a way to know what's at the end of the Time Tunnel.

But...

It's a bit risky.

"Goblin Train Ticket."

Theoretically, according to the panel information of this accessory, it can teleport back to the train regardless of location.

It is many times stronger than the human-used "Train Ticket", with no distance limit and almost no jamming. In some places, Train Tickets are blocked and cannot return, but never has a goblin ticket been blocked all this time.

But the Goblin Race, with over a hundred manpower, are living dead without their own thoughts or the ability to speak. Only "Mondo" and "Doba" can think and talk.

Both are extremely important to the Constant Star Train, especially the former. He is still prepared to make the former reform, no longer doing petty theft, but earnestly distributing "Neon City Free Entry Tickets" like handing out flyers.

The latter cannot die even more so.

The entire Goblin Race can only understand Doba's words, if Doba dies, those goblins wouldn't understand a word.

Have they gone into the Time Tunnel, can a goblin ticket still work?

Although these goblins can be resurrected after death, who knows where they will be resurrected, and whether the end of the Time Tunnel will cause death? What if you're not dead and just trapped, wouldn't that be quite the disaster.
