Moreover, in this respect, the universe and this place... do indeed have a high degree of similarity.
There is a special material in the universe called "quantum ripples," which contains the most basic energy fluctuation phenomenon.
Therefore, the Black Tower did not underestimate the technology of this planet. For a civilization on a planet that had become isolated due to its special environment to have reached this level of research... that's quite impressive.
It's just that there's a lack of opportunity in some areas—for example, a planetary civilization with a very high land coverage might not even be able to develop a cruiser; they might only develop a fishing boat and that would be the end of it.
Not to mention the various abstract races in the universe—you can't expect plant life civilizations to research how to efficiently burn charcoal, can you? What's the difference between that and humans researching how to efficiently burn people/monkeys?
Different needs lead to different technological paths.
Black Tower is not the kind of mediocre person who draws arbitrary conclusions based solely on appearances.
Not to mention how many civilizations in the universe were able to get a seat on the table thanks to the benefits of pioneering work, companies, and societies.
Although the company has many unethical practices, it has also fostered much nascent civilization.
"Compared to similar curves in the past... it will take about a week."
"Assuming it's normal?"
"That's right, provided it's normal."
Einstein nodded, not surprised that a genius of the Black Tower's caliber would realize this.
This is a troublesome point; in the face of the unreasonable power of nature, science sometimes becomes worthless.
There were far too many abnormal moments.
"Oh……"
Black Tower raised an eyebrow slightly. "You have something that can alter the tides, don't you?"
"...That's one way to put it, but it's impossible to say for sure whether things will get better or worse."
"A plan?"
"Have."
Einstein nodded.
"But it's not finished."
...The power of nature is indeed terrifying, but humanity has come this far by fighting against nature.
If old science becomes worthless, then we should research new science.
They certainly wouldn't just wait for God's judgment.
"Hey, put me down."
The doll pinched Liu Bai without any hesitation.
Liu Bai's attitude towards her was truly devoid of any respect.
Liu Bai released his grip, and the black tower landed steadily.
"Let me see the project proposal."
"it is good."
Einstein had no objection to the imperative tone of the Black Tower.
"Mei, where's that report?"
Although Einstein was an eccentric and seemingly clueless person, he was remarkably efficient at communication in such situations.
"here."
Tesla handed over a relatively thin document to Black Tower.
Hei Ta took it and read it carefully.
"No."
Black Tower rejected it outright.
"Rather than saying that the unpredictable risks are too great, it's more accurate to say that the outcome is likely to be bad."
Liu Bai was a little curious about what was written on it.
"Forcibly drain the energy of the energy tide."
Black Tower gave a succinct answer.
Although the principles are complex, it is very easy to make them understandable to people outside the field.
When they don't want others to understand, it's usually because they're looking for a sucker.
"...can't you?"
"No, tides are just a figurative term. To be more specific... it's actually an energy storm—at least in the universe."
Heta gave a brief explanation, then looked at Einstein.
"You can't completely control your high-dimensional interferometer either, can you?"
"...Isn't it the Moon Throne?"
Liu Bai was taken aback.
"The Moon Throne can only purify Honkai energy, so it's naturally useless against imaginary energy that is already 'pure Honkai energy'."
Einstein explained.

Chapter 410 Mei's Innate Curse.
"You... didn't understand at all, did you?"
Late at night, in the lounge, Mei asked Liu Bai while eating snacks.
Liu Bai hadn't expected things to be so busy until late at night.
"...Actually, I did understand some of it."
"How much?"
"About 30%..."
Liu Bai scratched his head.
He actually has a very solid foundation; both Nguyen Mai and Mebius taught him.
However, the current scope is slightly beyond his level.
Moreover... when Mebius and Nguyen Mai look for him now, it's "to attend class" instead of "to attend class".
"That was quite unexpected."
Mei nodded without changing her expression. "But understanding only 30% must be more torturous than not understanding at all, right?"
"That's true..."
"Or is it that you came here to escape something, Liu Bai?"
Mei looked at Liu Bai with some curiosity.
"For example, being bothered excessively at night?"
Mei was clearly making fun of Liu Bai's private life.
"...I think it's more like they couldn't find a way to move on, right?"
Liu Bai rubbed his forehead.
"Where's the atmosphere? Lady Black Tower?"
Although Mei always claims she can't read the atmosphere, she's actually just mediocre in that area, not incompetent.
"Pretty much... I feel like she'd be really upset if I left without saying a word."
"And then I didn't find an opportunity to say goodbye... Oh, I see."
Mei nodded in understanding. Although Black Tower looked cute, Mei could sense its "reasonable" arrogance.
Well, this isn't directed at anyone in particular, but everyone here is trash—that kind of arrogance.
They certainly have the right to be arrogant.
"Yes, that's right—but I didn't expect you to make such a joke, Mei."
Mei's joke just now clearly contained some risqué elements, which is quite rare for Mei.
...Well, before we get into stereotypes about Mei, we can't forget that Mei is actually just a "prospective female college student".
In fact, she was quite naive in many ways. Before meeting Mebius, most of her knowledge came from theory—in fact, in terms of the time she entered the industry, Mei had been learning about Honkai for about the same amount of time as Liu Bai.
As for social experience... it's pure folly.
"what are you saying?"
Mei walked over with a kettle of boiling water, her expression unchanged.
"Want some instant noodles?"
"No, no need."
Mei denied it, and Liu Bai was too lazy to press the issue on such a trivial matter.
"Speaking of which, although it's a bit inappropriate to ask now... but the university registration period is long over, isn't it?"
"That's a very inopportune question—do you require a degree for entry-level positions here?"
"...That's true."
Liu Bai understood Mei's question without any difficulty—for her, academic qualifications were just an insignificant bonus.
After all, she had plenty of ways to prove her abilities, and Mebius was indeed her mentor—both were indispensable.
Only a discerning eye will give a thoroughbred horse the opportunity to run.
Education level... to put it bluntly, is actually the product code of an ordinary person.
That doesn't apply to someone like her.
"Besides, isn't Vilvie a little older than me?"
Mei inquired about Vervi.
"Well, but that guy... I should say he's the kind of genius who fits the common sense of ordinary people."
Liu Bai sighed as he thought about Wilvi's situation.
Velvi started messing around because the school couldn't teach her anything, which led her to attack the World Serpent's network.
Their ability to stir up trouble is truly unmatched.
School qualifications and such... I guess Wilvi doesn't care at all.
"...I always feel like I'm part of a group that's detached from reality."
"And then you become the head of this group."
Mei bluntly retorted, "So, do you want to eat instant noodles?"
"sorry to bother you."
"Small things."
Mei nodded and turned to get Liu Bai some instant noodles, but after taking only two steps, she turned back to look at Liu Bai with a strange expression.
"……What's wrong?"
Liu Bai tilted his head, somewhat puzzled by Mei's strange look.
"I said... do you really want me to make you instant noodles?"
Mei's tone was complex.
The line "Help me make instant noodles" reflects the office etiquette she learned through observation and experience.
—For use during overtime work.
...A soon-to-be female college student is already working overtime; this world is truly beyond saving.
