Did the world end today?

Chapter 197 If you don't want to give it, then don't. Who cares?
After returning from Zhongshan Sanatorium, Lin Xu kept thinking about the issue of "integration".

If Ayana is just an isolated case, he wouldn't think too much about it.

However, the same logic of "memory fusion" has actually appeared simultaneously in himself, Ayana, and Jiang Xingye.

This is enough to illustrate the problem.

This may not be a "trait" but a "technique".

The "source" of this technology is very likely Ayana.

Research on her must be accelerated—but not now.

Now, I have more important things to do.

The lunar far-side nuclear explosion plan.

After leaving Zhongshan Sanatorium, he immediately returned to the coordination group office.

At this point, the coordination team had expanded once again, and even the platform staff specifically responsible for "coordination and communication" occupied three entire floors.

What they have to do is very simple.

To bring the whole world together.
-
Integration, yet it's integration again.

Perhaps "integration" is an inevitable path to overcome the apocalypse?
The fusion of knowledge, the fusion of cultures, and even the fusion of countless worlds.
Lin Xu didn't think too much about it. He entered the temporary office of the "Lunar Far Side Nuclear Explosion Team" and saw a face that he had seen many times on TV, but was seeing for the first time in real life.

"Forest worker."

Before he could even say hello, the man noticed him.

Then, he walked directly to Lin Xu, extended his hand, and said:

"I am Xu Gong'ou, a nuclear physicist, in charge of the lunar far-side nuclear explosion project."

"I have only just set up the project team, and there are still many colleagues who are not yet in place."

"But that doesn't matter, we can start with a theoretical discussion."

Lin Xu quickly grasped his hand.

Xu Gongou.

The true nuclear physicists of this era are also the standard-bearers of the new generation of physicists.

The fact that he came shows how important this project is.

"Hello, Mr. Xu!"

"No need to call me Old Xu."

Xu Gongou shook his head and said:

"Let's stick to our usual practice and just call him Engineer Xu."

As the two were talking, a young engineer happened to walk by carrying a large stack of documents. Xu Gong'ou noticed the materials on the top layer and immediately turned around and scolded him:
"I need the documents for Starfish One, not the documents for that experiment! I need the latest data documents from that experiment! What did you bring?"

When exactly will they provide it? Have you followed up with them?

His tone was stern, even somewhat fierce.

The young engineer quickly stopped and replied:
"Mr. Xu, we've already gone to ask for it. The comrades in the diplomatic department are still communicating with them. We'll have to wait for their results."

"We can't wait for them!"

Xu Gongou resolutely said:

"Wait for them? Are you kidding me?! I need all the data within an hour. Joanne was the one who orchestrated this nuclear explosion. Didn't I give you her phone number?"

"If you can't get things sorted out on the diplomatic side, just call Joanne and ask her to find a way to send the data over first!"

"Don't follow the rules. We don't have that much time to waste on this kind of pointless internal strife."

"Understood, I'll contact them."

The engineer left quickly, while Lin Xu, who was standing opposite Xu Gong'ou, secretly clicked his tongue in amazement.

Xu Gongou's voice was so loud that it made his eardrums hurt.

However, what is even more shocking is his extremely radical working method.

Even if a nuclear explosion in geosynchronous orbit is less damaging, it is still a nuclear explosion.

Obtaining such data inherently carries certain risks and is inevitably subject to certain constraints.

But he actually tried to bypass the entire decision-making process and call Joanne himself.
If any of these actions go wrong, Joanne could be accused of "treason."
-
But who cares?

This is indeed the most efficient method in extreme situations.

At this moment, Xu Gongou had already turned around.

His gaze towards Lin Xu softened considerably.

"I'm so sorry, damn it."

"Mr. Lin, please don't mind it."

"Many of our comrades, including some people on the American side, have not yet realized the seriousness of the problem."

"They also want to take shortcuts and engage in underhanded tactics; I will not allow that to happen."

"Let's go to the office and talk."

"Let's take a closer look at how this plan should be implemented."

"no problem."

Lin Xu nodded and followed Xu Gong'ou into a small cubicle in the conference room—this was Xu Gong'ou's temporary office.

Next to his desk was a cot that hadn't been put away yet, probably the one he used for his afternoon nap.

Xu Gongou tidied up the messy table a little, made room for Lin Xu to sit down, and then spoke directly:
"Mr. Lin, I have two questions now."

"First, what level of nuclear weapon would be needed to trigger the so-called 'piping effect' in a higher-dimensional channel?"

"Second, if the piping effect is indeed triggered, will using the moon as a barrier actually be able to stop the ensuing energy storm?"

"Both questions are important—the former determines whether we should do it, and the latter determines whether we can do it."

"I need to get a clear answer before I can make a decision to push this project forward."

"otherwise."

There was no clear answer.

Lin Xu interrupted Xu Gong'ou and then said:
"Mr. Xu, this is the current situation."

"We know for certain that high-energy particle beams can create piping effects, but nuclear explosions may not."

"The high-energy particles produced by a nuclear explosion are too dispersed and their directions are too random to form a so-called 'beam,' which is also very different from the steps we have already confirmed."

"Another point is whether the moon can block the energy storm, which is also uncertain."

"Theoretically speaking, energy storms should appear in the form of plasma storms."

"If that's the case, even if we're on the far side of the moon, and there are no obstacles at all, we don't need to worry about its effects."

"Because the energy of a plasma storm dissipates rapidly in space, it poses no threat at all as long as the distance is far enough."

"But if the piping effect occurs and the incoming energy manifests in other forms, then we're in danger." "Understood."

Xu Gongou nodded slowly.

"So in the end, it's still a gamble."

"maybe."

Lin Xu shook his head.

Without the bracelet, and without the ability to enter another world, what humanity is doing now is indeed a high-stakes gamble with the future of all humankind at stake.

There was no opportunity to experiment, nor were there any available crisis response measures.

The only thing to do is to resign oneself to fate after the nuclear explosion is initiated.

But that's not the case.

You can test it yourself.

A test in another world!

Lin Xu's eyes were firm.

He opened his mouth and said:
“I will solve these two problems—give me one night.”

"One night??"

Xu Gongou looked up at Lin Xu.

His hand holding the teacup froze in mid-air, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He actually had a general idea of ​​Lin Xu's capabilities—after all, if someone in his position were completely unaware of Lin Xu, this "crucial" butterfly, then the country's information security system would truly need to be overhauled.

However, he did not actually understand the limits of Lin Xu's abilities.

Is this kind of problem something that can be solved in one night?

"Mr. Lin, are you sure?"

"I am sure."

Lin Xu nodded solemnly.

He already had a general plan in mind.

He must enter the bracelet's world and detonate a nuclear bomb in a way similar to that in the real world.

Through this strategy, Lin Xu can not only verify the two questions raised by Xu Gongou, but more importantly, a practical operation can eliminate most of the risks and problems in the project.

This will make the whole project run more smoothly, with fewer hidden dangers and faster progress.

Seeing his expression, Xu Gongou suddenly smiled.

"I should have known better than to scold Xiaolin."

He shook his head and said frankly:

“I’ve been under a lot of pressure these past few days – this project is too complex, too risky, and we’ve been in a passive position the whole time.”

"The Americans at least detonated a nuclear bomb and still have firsthand data."

"But as the leader and the main player, we have nothing."

"So, I'm still a little anxious."

"However, it seems that my worries were unfounded."

He paused slightly at this point.

He picked up the cup of tea, put it down again, hesitated for a few seconds, and then asked again:
"Mr. Lin, if this plan ultimately proves unsuccessful, do we have any other options?"

"some."

Lin Xu nodded solemnly:
"It will definitely happen, maybe it will be a little slow, but it will definitely happen."

"That's no problem."

At this moment, a look of relief finally appeared on the face of this old man who had been tough all his life.

He looked at Lin Xu, his eyes revealing a hint of satisfaction.

Several times I wanted to say a few words of encouragement, but in the end I swallowed them back.

Just then, there was a knock on the office door.

Immediately afterwards, the engineer whom Xu Gong'ou called "Xiao Lin" walked in.

He opened his mouth and said:
"Mr. Xu, Joanne is refusing to provide experimental data."

"What he meant was that it was too risky for him to provide you with experimental data directly, and he was unwilling to take the risk."

"so."

"It's ok."

Xu Gongou waved his hand.

"If you don't want to give it, then don't give it. Who cares?"

"Go do what you're supposed to do. You don't need to worry about this anymore."

"By the way, it's getting late."

"You've worked hard these past two days, go and have some food first."

Xiaolin stood there dumbfounded.

He looked at Xu Gong'ou suspiciously, then glanced at Lin Xu sitting opposite Xu Gong'ou.

He did not know who Lin Xu was.

but.
This is way too exaggerated!

Did you really change Mr. Xu's mind after just a few minutes of conversation?
Xiao Lin eventually turned and left, while Xu Gong'ou turned back to Lin Xu.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Then, Lin Xu also got up to say goodbye.

Two hours later, Lin Xu returned to his residence.

After a quick wash, he lay down on the bed.

At this point, the number on the bracelet is a stable "3".

Lin Xu was ready to enter the world of the bracelet.

At the same time, he had made all the necessary plans.

He couldn't wait any longer.

He needs to figure out whether a nuclear explosion can break through a higher-dimensional channel and cause a piping effect.

If not
Are there any other methods?
With a gentle touch of the bracelet, Lin Xu's consciousness was instantly drained.

Then, it plummeted rapidly.
