Did the world end today?

Chapter 211 Don't Get Corrected

Error corrector?

This was the first time Lin Xu had heard this word.

What kind of error corrector? What kind of error are they correcting?

He frowned as he looked at Jiang Xingye and asked:
When did you first hear that word?

"A long time ago!"

Jiang Xingye replied:

“I’ve heard this word for at least four months now.”

"Even now, it keeps popping up."

"I don't know what it represents, and I don't know why it appeared."

“But strangely enough, I know it’s important, just as important as Zeroth.”

As important as Zeroth?
That proves that this so-called "error corrector" is a piece of information with a priority comparable to "confirming the butterfly's identity".

Lin Xu was certain that he had never heard of or come into contact with such information.

This information is "unsourced" to them, just like the previous "Planetary Reincarnation" organization.

Could this be one?
An organization similar to planetary reincarnation?

Their purpose in killing Jiang Xingye was to hunt butterflies?

But that doesn't make sense.

What were their motives?
Several preconditions must be determined first.

Thinking of this, Lin Xu spoke up:
"Turn on your computer, I want to see how this world is developing."

"it is good."

Jiang Xingye moved the computer over from the table, and the two sat down at the table. Lin Xu quickly opened the browser to search for key information.

To his surprise, the world's information control over the "piping project" was not strong.

It could even be said that it is almost entirely public.

Many non-fiction works describe the origin and process of piping projects, regarding them as a milestone in human technological development.

According to these reports, in this world, the "piping project" experiment was completed in 2025, almost identical to their own real world.

However, unlike the world of Destinystone, in this world, the main driving force behind the Piping Project is no longer the butterfly, but a group of top scientific researchers.

Even without the influence of Zhou Yue, the killer bee, the people here, driven by mysterious "randomness," still came to know the impact of high-energy particle beams on high-dimensional channels by chance.

The whole thing started with an accident at the Subei Beishan project.

During the centralized destruction of a batch of nuclear fuel, a tiny fraction of the randomly enriched nuclear fuel emitted a powerful beam of high-energy particles.

This high-energy particle beam happened to hit the high-dimensional channel that appeared in the Beishan Laboratory.

When people observed small plasmas that "appeared out of thin air," they realized that the "high-dimensional channels" that had appeared more than once were not so simple.

Subsequently, they proceeded step by step, ultimately leading to the "piping project".

No wonder.

No wonder people in this world are so confident.

The reason is simple: this is indeed a "pure" world!

The pollen has not yet revealed its identity, and the killer bees have disappeared without a trace due to the influence of the Destiny Stone world. The humans here have relied on themselves, plus a little bit of unpredictable "luck", to gradually reach a level that is almost in sync with the Destiny Stone world!

It would be strange if they lacked self-confidence.

In this situation, scientists and top decision-makers in the world should only have one thought in mind.

"Destiny is with me!"

Even if the doomsday information is later revealed by fans, with their confidence building, they will believe that the so-called doomsday is just a minor setback in the development process.

Following the piping project, the utilization of high-dimensional channels has been rapidly increasing.

Nuclear fusion, room-temperature superconductivity, quantum computing.
A major explosion of various technologies has occurred.

Although it has not yet entered the practical application stage, much information has already been made public.

This is why Jiang Xingye's identity as a fan has not been revealed in 2027.

The information she received in the past two years has not even kept pace with the world's "natural development"!

This gives those who want to correct errors a seemingly legitimate reason to hunt butterflies and pollen.

When they discover that their world has the potential to overcome the apocalypse through "natural development," their refusal to help other worlds is an understandable choice.

The only problem is.
The butterfly effect contingency plan does not conflict with technological development itself!

The butterfly contingency plan is merely a mechanism for information transmission; theoretically, it will not interfere with the world's development process.
-
Unless they believe that the information provided by pollen is wrong in terms of technological approach.

"The Error Corrector!"
They do not agree with the information provided by pollen, and they do not want the technology provided by pollen to interfere with the natural development of the world.

It's not that they don't believe in butterflies.
They just have more faith in themselves!
They want independence! Independence from all parallel worlds affected by pollen!
So what they were actually trying to kill was "pollen," while the butterflies were secondary!
Lin Xu instantly understood the meaning of the word "correction".

That's right, that must be their logic.

Lin Xu felt that his mind was much faster now.

This is true both in the real world and in the world of fitness trackers.

Even from fragmented clues, he can quickly piece them together.

Some information is even based on intuition, first predicting possibilities, and then working backward from those possibilities to deduce the logic.

Is this really not how quantum computers work?

What kind of humanoid quantum computing is this?!

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, the factional relationship between the error correctors, the official stance, and the fans is basically clear.

The next step is to find those who corrected the mistakes and eliminate their influence.

Lin Xu briefly explained his speculation to Jiang Xingye, and then asked:
Do you have any other information about 'error correctors'?

Jiang Xingye frowned.

"No."

She shook her head in reply:

"There's only this word, nothing else."

That's trouble.

By 2027, almost nothing will have been accomplished yet.

We have no permissions, no information, and the only clue we can look for is the 14th Research Institute of China Electronics Technology Group Corporation.

But even this clue is currently just "speculation".

Even setting all that aside, if we simply bring back some technology, there's very little technology worth taking back from the world of smartwatches at this point in time.

Lin Xu wished he could commit suicide immediately and start over, randomly traveling to a new point in time to restart the mission.

But almost instantly, he realized a problem.

Why did I convey the concept of "error corrector" to Jiang Xingye?
Clearly, such concise information must have a specific purpose.

And the purpose is to
She made herself realize that her death was not an "accident," but rather a "correction."

Therefore, the key to your own plan lies in...
Jiang Xingye survived.

Regardless of whether she repeatedly enters the same world or not, she has to live!

My initial thought was correct!

With this in mind, Lin Xu's thoughts instantly became clear.

He looked at Jiang Xingye and said solemnly:
"You have to live."

"We have to find a way to keep you alive."

"I must keep you out of the influence of the error correctors and prevent you from being corrected."

"This is impossible!"

Jiang Xingye shook his head.

"If your assumption is correct, the Error Corrector should be a highly influential organization."

“Even the official security forces couldn’t stop them before, which means that unless I can obtain the highest level of authority, I simply cannot completely stop their ‘assassination’.”

“But if things had gone according to plan, I would never have been able to obtain the highest level of authority.”

"Because the world's technology is developing too fast, after the physical rules change, many technologies will develop rapidly in incomprehensible ways."

"They don't need me that much—that's the truth!"

"Yes."

Lin Xu nodded.

"So, you don't have to show up."

"If there are no mistakes, there will be no corrections."

"The error corrector didn't have your information from the beginning. In the worlds I've experienced before, your information has always been kept secret."

"The people who can track you do so because of the influence you exert on the world."

"So you should be an observer."

"You must gather as much key information as possible about the development of this world, and then pass it on to me someday in the future."

"Moreover, this is also part of the verification." "If I enter this world again and find that you have survived and remember everything that happened today, then it proves that my judgment was correct."

"I did enter the same world, but at a random time."

"If no matter what, you cannot change the fact that you are going to die, then it proves that the development of the world is locked, and I have only entered a certain period of time in a different world."

"In that case, I will have to change my course of action."

Lin Xu's expression was slightly solemn.

This is the issue he's most concerned about right now.

Is the world really the same world? Is the choice of a random point in time truly random?

Without resolving this issue, he simply cannot fully leverage his informational advantage within the bracelet's world, nor can he obtain sufficient permissions.

At that time, let alone a "time pincer attack," it will be difficult to even transfer some technology.
-
Is this the power of error correctors?
They not only restricted the pollen, but also, to some extent, restricted themselves as butterflies.
Upon hearing his words, Jiang Xingye's expression changed slightly.

"So you mean I can't do anything in this world?"

"Even if you have the ability, you can't do it?"

"If I am a useful person and I don't use my role, isn't that the same as watching the world die?"

"This world will be destroyed, and there's nothing I can do about it!"

"This feeling."

"Destruction is temporary."

Lin Xu interrupted Jiang Xingye.

"Time is not linear. If you try to understand time in a linear way, then no world should exist."

"Since all worlds are destined for destruction, and since it doesn't exist, how can I enter this world?"

"The world is a wave on the sea of ​​time, and waves come in all shapes and sizes."

"The end of the world is just the edge of the waves."

"So rather than saying the world is heading towards its end, it's more accurate to say that everything in the world is heading towards its limits."

"Even after we reach the boundary, we can still turn back!"

Jiang Xingye was somewhat stunned.

Is the world a wave?
Is the end of the world just the edge of a wave?

She couldn't quite grasp the concept Lin Xu was talking about, but she vaguely felt that it was indeed very credible.

So, should we listen to him?

If one were to truly conceal their identity as a "pollen user," what changes would occur in this world?
Will I survive?
Will Lin Xu survive?
Didn't he say before that he was her husband?

Is he referring to the "present" him, or the "previous" him?
For the first time, Jiang Xingye felt that his thoughts were in disarray.

But she quickly realized what was happening.

Now is not the time for sentimental attachments.

The end of the world will happen in 20 years, and Lin Xu obviously wants to stop it.

Then I should listen to him.

After all, all the information he received came from him.

Jiang Xingye's eyes hardened.

A word flashed through her mind.

"Zeroth".

At least now, I finally know exactly what this word means.

"it is good."

Jiang Xingye nodded solemnly.

"I will do as you say, and I will try my best to hide my identity."

"And what about you? What are you going to do?"

"I need to find a way to leave this world."

Lin Xu replied:
"But don't worry, I'll be back soon."

"soon?"

Jiang Xingye suddenly laughed.

"When you say 'soon,' do you mean 'soon' for you?"

"Since you said that the time you traveled through time was random, that's possible. When I saw you again, it was already 10 years later."

"It's true."

Lin Xu nodded emphatically.

"So, I have to wait for you for 10 years?"

"That's not true."

Lin Xu waved his hand.

"Theoretically speaking, you may have to wait up to 18 years for me."

"Don't you think it's kind of funny to say that?"

Jiang Xingye's eyes widened in anger. At this moment, Lin Xu finally saw a familiar shadow in her.

He gave an awkward laugh, then glanced at the time on the computer screen.

57 minutes have passed since I entered the world of the bracelet.

But so far, there has been no sign of an accident.

It's time to leave voluntarily.

He stood up and walked towards the door. Jiang Xingye asked:
"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to jump off a building."

Lin Xu answered casually:
"This can't go on forever. There's too little information in this world, and I can't keep pushing forward."

"I need to finish this quickly and find a way to create a better world."

"Just like a roguelike game, you know?"

"wrong."

Jiang Xingye slowly shook his head.

"You absolutely cannot die in this world."

She continued:
"Because you haven't determined whether this world is the same world or a similar parallel world."

"If you enter the same world several times, it means that if you die here, you can only go forward, not backward."

"All our so-called verification methods are ineffective."

"I can't wait for you anymore."

"Because your vessel no longer exists!"

A blow to the head.

Lin Xu snapped back to his senses instantly.

He suddenly realized the pattern he was following from 2044 to 2029, and then to 2027.
It certainly exists.

I did die the previous two times.

仔细想想，2025到2029之间是4年，2029到2045则是16年。

With a 20% chance, is it really possible for me to hit the mark?

impossible.

The reason I kept walking forward was because I was dead!
I rely on.

One hour has passed.

At that very moment, Lin Xu suddenly felt a strong sense of dizziness.

His consciousness is fading.

This is the first time he has not left the world because of death and the end of the world.

This is a forced exit!

The next second, Lin Xu fell to the ground.

And when I opened my eyes again...
He has returned to the real world.

This time, Lin Xu didn't get out of bed at all.

He stared at the familiar ceiling and silently memorized a word.

The error corrector.

Then, he raised his bracelet.

The number shown above is a stable "1".

He has one more chance.

There is no need to hesitate or wait.

Lin Xu gently touched the bracelet, and his consciousness was once again drained.
