Dr. Rhine, beyond the age of fifty and physically frail from decades of dedication to science, had spent half a lifetime on academic knowledge. How could he spare time to think about such a dirty business? He waved his hand dismissively, as if he could read the heart of the Blade Warrior, and said, "Let's not talk about this. Tell me what you're planning to do with the materials you requested?"

"Of course, they are to be used against humanity's greatest enemy."

"Nonsense!" Dr. Rhine blurted out, blowing his beard and staring wide-eyed, "You might fool others, but you can't fool me. Super metals, anti-gravity devices, and light crystals, which of these is not a rare and costly material? If it's for that issue, I have many ways to ensure you all come out unscathed."

The Blade Warrior was stunned by his sharpness; the old man was not muddled at all, shrewd indeed. She was slightly taken aback but then her pretty face turned into a blooming smile like a spring breeze, "You're in your seventies, can't you just be a bit more indulgent towards us younger generations? These materials are also meant for research."

"Humph, do you think the vast amounts of national research funding are just blown in by the wind? Look over there..."

Following the direction of Rhine's pointing finger, the Blade Warrior's eyes instantly lit up; those were indeed the materials she desperately wanted.

"Each rare material displayed here is precious, each tagged with a unique code. If it weren't for Hell's Gate stepping in and the special circumstances, the authorities would never approve it so quickly. I want to know what you intend to do with these materials, otherwise don't even touch them."

Even though the approval had been passed from above, who would have thought that this old man would block her? The Blade Warrior's face immediately turned livid, "Explaining this would take quite some time."

"Oh? Let's hear it."

Shaking her head helplessly, the Blade Warrior was at a loss where to start, from the Bizarre's emergence, or should it be from the designs of the Paradox Engine that journeys through parallel spaces?

At this moment, Rhine still did not know the true intention behind the Blade Warrior wanting the light crystals, even though he knew that these contained tremendous energy but unfortunately lacked a medium for transferring it. Therefore, she had to start explaining from the Paradox Engine.

Speaking of the Paradox Engine, one couldn't help but mention Reyna, the legendary craftsman from Bull Planet, whose engineering blueprints greatly inspired the Blade Warrior, which is why the Paradox Engine was conceived.

As to why the Blade Warrior has always hidden this and has not revealed it publicly, there are too many reasons; it's a complex formula beyond human civilization's understanding. Once disclosed publicly, who knows what consequences it might trigger.

Selfishness is a gene ingrained in humanity's bones. She has seen through that vile nature and does not believe that exposing the theory would bring about beneficial outcomes. Therefore, she and her known associates keep this secret closely guarded.

Moreover, the design philosophy of the Paradox Engine still considers light crystals as its core; these materials are inherently rare and cannot be mass-produced. The resource-scarce galaxy may not find many either, so the Blade Warrior believes there's no need to focus on this for now as the main drive.

What is her main mission? Undoubtedly, it is survival and struggle, figuring out how to solve this problem before the civilization is annihilated by Otherworldly Creatures. The existence and formation of 'Bizarre' can no longer be measured by our existing laws of physics.

It represents paradox and variables, a rule unacknowledged by the law of universal gravitation, like a system virus infecting the timespace. If a proper antivirus remedy isn't found, this universe, reputedly composed of codes, may face the possibility of system collapse.

As for the final reason, it owes to humanity itself. Although humans aren't the smartest beings with undeveloped brain utilization, their intellectual limit is terrifyingly high; they will imitate, copy, and replicate. When they encounter an unexplained phenomenon, their curiosity drives them to replicate it in all sorts of ways tirelessly, and in the process, produce new variants and evolutionary breakthroughs.

From rudimentary firearms and gunpowder came airplanes and cannons, from airplanes and cannons, nuclear weapons are not far off. Perhaps they cannot replicate it perfectly, yet they often find new variants at certain research junctures, leading to endless diversification.

"If I tell you, will you keep it secret?"

"I can."

The Blade Warrior sighed; she had heard that this stubborn old man was always firm in his word, but Rhine, after all, was a scientist, often exceeding his own principles in his obsession over science.

"Then I'll tell you, the whole story..."

A few minutes later, Dr. Rhine abruptly stood up from his chair, then slowly sank back down as if calming something within, and remained silent for a long time...

A voice broke the brief tranquility.

"Really?"

"Really."

"Absolutely sure?"

"I stake my reputation on it, absolutely sure. You can even meet Feng Yi from the Flat Dimension."

"Then take me to him now. By the way, you can take all these things, take anything." Dr. Rhine's tone suddenly changed, pointing at the precious materials in the lab as if they were mere trash, casually proclaiming he wanted to see Feng Yi from another dimension.

Of course, seeing Feng Yi was not his main purpose; the main purpose was to verify the veracity of the Blade Warrior's story, and the Time-Space Machine, as well as the Paradox Engine that triggers the energy of light crystals, he wanted to thoroughly examine all of these.
