Did the world end today?

Chapter 185 Node is... Alliance!

A few minutes later, Lin Xu returned to the operations command center.

By this time, the first communication between the high-level officials and the US side had also ended.

Lin Xu first asked the most crucial question.

"Have they been informed of Zhou Yue's plan?"

Upon hearing his words, Chen Yixin immediately replied:

"Already notified."

“They accepted our account and have reported it to Congress and the President.”

"Currently, their attitude is relatively positive, and they do not seem to intend to target us."

"However, the situation in the United States is indeed quite chaotic right now."

"The scope of this 'mass death' incident is extremely wide, from the political and academic circles to the high-ranking officials and ordinary people. Preliminary estimates suggest that the death toll is at least thirty."

"The problem now is that they can't determine which people died because of Zhou Yue and which were just normal suicides."

"They need time."

"clear."

Lin Xu nodded.

This is a difficult situation for anyone, let alone others. Just DeSantis alone is enough to give the Americans a run for their money.

To draw an analogy, if it were in the country...
I dare not imagine how big of a storm this will cause.

However, there seems to be something "off" about this incident.

Why are all the deaths concentrated in the United States?

There was no movement in Europe, let alone domestically.

Does Zhou Yue really believe that the United States is the true beacon of civilization, and that taking action against them is enough to block the development of the entire world?
No.

He's not that stupid.

He had already been in contact with the CIA, which means that the CIA may have obtained some information from him that they did not yet have.

Based on previous intelligence analysis, this "information" is most likely related to high-dimensional channels.

"We must establish an efficient communication mechanism with the US side."

"Now, no one can keep anything to themselves."

Lin Xu said in a deep voice:

"They must hand over everything they obtained from Zhou Yue—continuing to delay will do no good for anyone!"

"I know."

Chen Yixin nodded and replied:

"The comrades in the diplomatic department are making progress."

"But this matter is difficult to handle because their decision-making system is often chaotic."

"Even if they know what the optimal solution is, they may not necessarily follow that optimal solution."

"Because handing over their information is tantamount to handing over their dominant position."

"This is unacceptable in their cultural and political atmosphere."

"To be precise, even if some decision-makers are able to accept it, they will still encounter resistance from all sides."

"I think we may be facing a tough negotiation."

"Either we use what we have to make a trade."

"Either we make them realize that their so-called dominance has been lost, and we shatter their illusions completely."

As soon as Chen Yixin finished speaking, Lin Xu's brows furrowed tightly.

transaction?

This doesn't sound like an option.

But if we don't trade
How can we prove that they have lost their dominant position?

technology?
Nuclear fusion, quantum computing, gravitational wave detection, room temperature superconductivity, manned spaceflight
society?

Highly organized, highly united, rapidly self-purifying, and a counter-current plan.
Or is it a higher-dimensional system?

Eradicate killer bees, eliminate hidden dangers, employ mature time-based pincer attacks, and utilize controllable Mnemosyne technology.
A fleeting sense of "insight" suddenly flashed through Lin Xu's mind.

He vaguely realized that this time, the key point he needed to push forward was...
It doesn't seem that complicated.

In the world of the bracelet, the world 20 years from now is divided.

The Western Alliance and China were divided, and China itself was also divided due to the so-called "theocratic problem".

Such division inevitably and severely slowed down the world's overall development efficiency. As a result, even with mastery of several key technologies, that world's ultimate development remained quite limited.

They developed a quantum computer, but failed to push its capabilities to their limits.

They built fusion power plants, but failed to deploy them on a large scale.

They monitored the high-dimensional channels and confirmed the "quantum time bubble" effect, but no one knows how to use this effect to explain the true principle behind the emergence of high-dimensional channels.

GoHEPA, that enormous synchronous accelerator, was their last gamble.

But in the end, they were just one step short.

Just one step away.

Where did this step go wrong?
Split.

If the divisions were eliminated earlier, if useless internal friction were eliminated—even if it was only reduced—would it be possible for the humans in that world to develop truly effective technology to uncover the underlying principles of higher-dimensional channels?
Even if they still cannot escape the apocalypse.

Even if they are destined to be like a wave, broken and returning to the sea of ​​time.

But at least they will be faster.

Therefore, the real turning point lies in...
Promote an alliance?
Seems reasonable.

Because the "alliance" node itself comes with many preconditions.

As Chen Yixin said, our side must first seize the dominant position.

This dominant position comes from being ahead in every aspect!
Lin Xu's thoughts flowed smoothly in an instant.

Then, he looked up at Chen Yixin and said:
"Alliance, alliance is the key to driving world development."

"But there is not much point in negotiating at this stage."

"Negotiation is the final step before an alliance is formed, not a means to promote cooperation."

"We only need to do three things now."

"First, develop technology, and develop technology as quickly and with all our might!"

"Second, optimize the social structure, especially by rapidly implementing the counter-current plan."

"Third, eliminate the last trump card left by Zhou Yue."

"I'll do the third thing."

"But the first and second things can only be done by you."

"understand!"

Chen Yixin nodded solemnly.

At that moment, everyone's goal suddenly became clear.

All the previous trial and error, all the exploration, have converged on one point.

They clearly realized that everything they had done before was, in essence, to advance the achievement of a goal.

That is.
The real "unification" is no, it's great unity.

And this goal is actually very close.

It's so close that it seems everyone could touch it if they just stood on tiptoe.

"I need to go do my thing."

Lin Xu began to speak:
"Send me the latest death list, and I'll find out the trump card."

A few minutes later, Lin Xu returned to his office.

He had memorized the names of those on the death list.

He doesn't intend to use any "clumsy" methods to "speculate" the connections between these people in reality.

What he has to do is simple.

Enter the world of the bracelet and connect to a quantum computer.

Then, in the simulated world, let all these people die.

By simply observing the differences in how their "death and life" affected the development of the world, he could easily determine the true "influence factors" of these individuals.

Even if it doesn't lead to a definitive answer, it will at least be a very powerful reference.

Lying on the bed in the lounge, Lin Xu raised his hand to look at the bracelet.

The number above shows "2".

enough.

He gently touched the bracelet.

The next second, consciousness was extracted, and then the body quickly descended.
