Chapter 210 Chapter No investigation, no right to speak

Poor Dr. Jones, he was seventy years old, was shot, jumped out of a plane, and finally was knocked unconscious by a punch from his goddaughter and dragged onto the evacuation plane like a dead dog.

I have to say that the director of this fifth film is indeed not good enough, and the halo of the protagonist is arranged deliberately and stiffly; a ten-year-old boy who has not been to school much and is close to Helena actually flies a plane and follows He111 through the time and space channel, and comes to pick up the protagonists home just in time.

Before leaving, Lin You said to Archimedes through Helena's translation: "The turntable you made created a time loop; for you, the siege of Syracuse has just begun, but for people two thousand years later, the outcome of this war has been determined and has become history."

"In this world, history cannot be changed." This was the last sentence Lin You left for Archimedes. He did not tell him the final outcome of the siege of Syracuse, but with Archimedes' wisdom, it should not be difficult to see the clues.

Although Lin You himself is a writer who makes a living by rewriting history, he can only write the history of the He111 bomber crossing BC into the world, but he cannot rewrite the history of Syracuse being conquered by the Roman legions.

The Battle of Syracuse was not just about the gain or loss of a city, but also about the trend of the struggle for supremacy between the Roman Republic and Hannibal, as well as Carthage behind Hannibal.

To rewrite the outcome of the Battle of Syracuse is to rewrite the history of the Roman Republic, and then completely rewrite the history of Western civilization. The consequences are so serious that the writer cannot afford it.

As for Archimedes' disappointment, Lin You could only say that he could do nothing to help.

Knowing the future outcome in advance but being unable to change it is the source of pain for every prophet; from ancient mythology to historical records, similar stories have been played out more than once. What difference does it make if there is one more or one less Archimedes?
As the author, Lin You is most concerned about the logic of the world. Through the Antikythera Compass incident, he roughly sorted out the setting of time travel in the world of "Indiana Jones".

You can go to the corresponding time point through a fixed time and space channel, but the action of traveling through time and space cannot change history, it can only become a part of history - for example, Archimedes found a 20th century mechanical watch from the wreckage of a plane crash and took it into the tomb; later it was discovered in the 20th century by Dr. Jones who had not yet traveled through time and space.

This setting is similar to the setting of the time converter in the "Harry Potter" story, except that there is an additional way of traveling through a "fixed time and space channel".

As long as the number of "fixed space-time channels" is reduced to a level that ordinary people can only access once in a lifetime, the impact on the larger world can be reduced to a negligible level.

As expected, without investigation, there is no right to speak; conversely, as long as the investigation obtains enough information, you can avoid detours in your work. For Lin You, avoiding detours means minimizing the consumption of "real factors" during the integration process.

"Who are you? Do you know Jones, or does Jones know you?" Helena's voice rang in his ears, waking up Lin You who was still in deep thought.

At the same time, the plane was also bumping and sliding on the dirt road, and successfully pulled up its nose just before it was about to slide into the sea. Although the small piston aircraft has poor safety performance, it does have good maneuverability and adaptability.

Dr. Jones "slept" peacefully at Helena's feet, unaware that he was about to embark on his second time-travel journey. As for his goddaughter, she didn't care about him at the moment, but stared at the boy who had been silent since boarding the plane with vigilance and curiosity.

With his exquisite suit and leather shoes, he looked like a rich young man from some wealthy family, which was in stark contrast to the miserable appearance of Jones and his group.

"Dr. Jones and I are old acquaintances. We first met twelve years ago when he was exploring the ancient city of Ector."

Lin You acted very honest, but sometimes telling the truth makes people more likely to be suspected. "You? Twelve years ago?" Helena looked the boy up and down, "Are you twelve years old this year?"

"How can I explain this to you? Take you and Dr. Jones for example. You traveled from Syracuse in the third century BC back to the United States in 1969. Although you have traveled over two thousand years, you will not look like you are more than two thousand years old, right?"

Lin You explained casually, but his eyes were looking out through the porthole. Passing through the clouds, the plane was flying towards the space-time channel from which it came. The Antikythera turntable in Helena's hand also spun rapidly again, marking the coordinates of the channel.

"Hold on tight!" The pilot shouted at the right time when the plane was shaking violently, reminding the passengers in the cabin.

The pilot at this moment was no longer Helena's little follower, but the original pilot of the plane. When the little follower stole the plane, the unlucky pilot was sleeping in the cabin, and was not awakened until the plane took off and was about to travel through the time tunnel.

It’s a very magical and speechless plot design, right? This pilot character seems to have appeared out of nowhere, and his only purpose is to make the plane land and take off safely outside the ancient city of Syracuse, so as to bring the protagonists back smoothly.

It's a fucking movie made in 3202, and the protagonist still has such a stiff and incongruous halo.

The strong magnetic field in the space-time tunnel made all the aircraft instruments ineffective, and it could only fly in a straight line towards the only faintly discernible light source in the distance; when flying out of the tunnel exit, there was another difficulty, which was whether the engine that stopped due to the severe turbulence could be restarted in time.

Of course, with the halo of the protagonist, everything is still safe and sound.

Only at this moment did Helena let out a long sigh of relief, and then turned her eyes and pressed Lin You again: "Didn't you just say that you have been traveling through time and space? Then how old were you when you first met Jones, and what happened in between? Why did it happen..."

Helena spoke faster than the firing rate of the onboard machine guns on the He111, and threw out a series of questions; unfortunately, the person she asked did not want to answer at all.

The plane flew through the time tunnel, and Jones and his crew returned safely to 1969, so Lin You's true colors were finally revealed.

"You can save these questions for Dr. Jones. Maybe they can bring some new goals to his later life!" Lin You smiled mischievously, and then took the Antikythera Turntable from Helena very naturally, as if the other party had handed it to him voluntarily.

Helena was just in a trance, and then suddenly woke up, only to find that the mysterious boy was gone, and the wheel of fate that she had obtained with great difficulty also disappeared.

The mental control ability of the Ophiuchus Saint is simply not something that mortals can resist.

After passing through the dimensional door and returning to the ground, Lin You looked up at the plane gradually going away in the sky. He cast a "Fierce Fire Curse" to melt the turntable in his hand into a metal lump. Unless Archimedes was found again, no one could restore it to its original appearance.

“Now, time has truly closed the loop.”
