This chapter opens with a brief description of the ether gear, which is used to power the ship. It is described as being able to increase the power of the ship by up to 70 percent. The professor explains that he is using this gear to rebuild the ship, but the gear is still unstable. He tells the professor that he has gone to a planet called "norma" and that the planet has been placed in his possession. He explains that this is a good thing, because he always dreamed of being an adventurer. He asks the professor if he is the one who created him, and the professor replies that he was only the one that made him. He then asks if the professor has a question for him, too, about the time paradox. He says that when a planet eats itself, it no longer sets off time paradoxes, but instead becomes reality.
