Did the world end today?

Chapter 240 The First Leaf Sprout from the Seed

Chapter 240 The First Leaf Sprout from the Seed
An hour later, Lin Xu woke up in his bed on time.

This time, he didn't get any extra information, but he didn't feel it was a waste.

Because he had already found Jiang Xingye and planted a seed in her heart.
-
Ok?
This doesn't sound quite right, does it?

To be precise, it was he who turned Jiang Xingye into a seed.

She will take root and flourish in that world, and then continue to move forward along the route that the two of them have planned, creating a better world for herself.

So, in a world that has been changed, will the error-correcting organization led by Zhang Liming still exist?
If he no longer exists, what will become of the so-called "limiter" technology?

Lin Xu raised his hand and glanced at the bracelet on his wrist.

The number is a stable "1".

There's still plenty of time; this time, there's no need for any hesitation.

He needs the results immediately.

With a gentle touch of the bracelet, Lin Xu's consciousness immediately vanished.

Then, it plummeted rapidly.
"Lin Xu, we're going to meet Jin Xiaochuan from Jinling University this afternoon. Could you prepare all his materials for me?"

“This person is rather difficult to deal with. According to his advisor and classmates, he has some personality issues.”

"It could even be said to be rather abnormal."

"But we have to bring him into the company, which is quite a challenge."

"You need to be prepared for a long battle. If we can't handle this, we might have to stay there for a long time."

Jiang Xingye's voice came, and Lin Xu opened his eyes.

He didn't answer, but instead spoke directly:
“ZEROTH”.

"I am ZEROTH now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xingye stood up abruptly from behind his desk.

At this moment, Lin Xu, who had just opened his eyes, noticed that he was in a spacious office.

Across from her, Jiang Xingye was dressed in a sharp business suit, her hair piled high, exuding a mature woman's charm.

This was a side of Jiang Xingye that I had never seen before.

Previously, when I saw her in the world of smart bracelets, she was either already in a high position, and her style of dress had become casual.

Or they're charging into battle on Mars, wearing spacesuits and with guns at their sides.

However, in a more recent timeline, her clothing is not much different from her real-world attire; she is dressed like a typical young girl.

It has to be said that Lin Xu is somewhat unaccustomed to the current Jiang Xingye.

But as soon as her eyes lit up, Lin Xu immediately realized that this was still the same woman he knew.

"ZEROTH?"

Jiang Xingye's eyes widened.

"You're so fast?!"

So fast?
Lin Xu frowned slightly and asked:
So what time is it now?

"September 1, 2027."

"It's only been two years since you last came!"

Jiang Xingye's face showed a hint of surprise.

"When you said last time that you would come back at some point in the future, I thought you meant 5 or 10 years from now."

"I didn't expect that either."

Lin Xu shook his head.

"The timing of our entry is always random—but this time it was alright, at least it didn't fall the day after our last meeting."

"So now, are we going to find Jin Xiaochuan?"

"Yes."

Jiang Xingye quickly gathered the files on the desk and then replied:
“I originally planned to go see him in the afternoon after I was fully prepared, but since you’re here, we don’t need to waste any more time.”

"We'll leave immediately!"

As she spoke, she hurried toward the door.

Lin Xu followed closely behind her, looking at her tall and straight back, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

So, how much has she changed in just two years?
The last time I saw her, she was a clueless newcomer to the workplace.

But now, she is a typical strong woman.

The car was parked in the underground garage, and Lin Xu saw that it was a brand new Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

This shows that Jiang Xingye has completed the initial accumulation of capital and laid the foundation for subsequent development.

"Are you driving or should I drive?"

Jiang Xingye turned around and asked.

"I'll drive."

Lin Xu answered without hesitation.

He got into the driver's seat and stepped on the gas, unleashing the powerful performance of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

The tires screeched against the rubber floor of the underground parking garage, but inside the car, it sounded like nothing at all.

"Where have you progressed to now?" Lin Xu asked as he gently turned the steering wheel to drive out of the underground parking garage.
"Has a partnership been established with the authorities? Has Ayana been found?"

"No."

Jiang Xingye, sitting in the passenger seat, shook his head.

“I’ve found Ayana, but I can’t bring her back for now—give me two months. After two months, I should be able to bring her back first.”

"You don't need to worry. She hasn't attracted the attention of other forces yet, so she's not in danger."

"As for the official side, their technological development in the past two years has been so rapid that the information I receive cannot even keep up with the speed of their development."

"Nuclear fusion, room temperature superconductivity, quantum computing. Completely useless."

"I plan to start contacting the authorities next month, because the Zhuzhou high-energy particle collision project will enter the full-scale launch phase next month."

“I happen to have information about the project—information about the breaking of spacetime symmetry.”

"Do you want to listen?"

"Of course!"

After speaking, Jiang Xingye recalled for a moment, organized his thoughts, and then described the key technical points of the "spacetime symmetry breaking particle collision experiment" to Lin Xu in the simplest language.

Most of this information was already known to Lin Xu.

But there was one thing he was hearing for the first time today.

"The key variable in the spacetime symmetry breaking experiment is the high-dimensional channel. We must artificially create particles carrying 'high-dimensional information' to collide with."

"The information entropy carried by these particles will annihilate at the moment of collision, and after annihilation, this information entropy may create a brief 'quantum bubble'."

"This is the key premise for verifying symmetry breaking."

Quantum foam?

Lin Xu recalled that when they first started explaining high-dimensional channels, the humans of the Starship Era had already confirmed that high-dimensional channels were related to quantum spacetime bubbles.

However, due to the immense technical difficulty, researchers in that world have never found an effective way to verify this.

They can only observe the phenomenon, but they cannot recreate it through experimental means.

Now then.
Perhaps the real world, and humanity in the Alliance era, has a chance to take a step further?
Is this related to the "limiter" technology that follows?
Lin Xu memorized the information, but he didn't have time to think about it further.

Following the navigation, he sped towards Jin Xiaochuan's residence.

Whether it's speeding or not is no longer something he needs to consider. If Jiang Xingye can't even handle this small matter, then she's wasted two years of her career.

In less than 10 minutes, the car had already stopped in front of that familiar apartment building.

The two parked their car anywhere and headed straight for Jin Xiaochuan's room.

"I'll tell him when I see him."

Lin Xu instructed Jiang Xingye:

“I’ve seen him once in another world, I know him well, and I know how to persuade him.”

"clear."

Jiang Xingye nodded.

"That's exactly why I called you here, otherwise why would I have called you here?"

Her tone carried a hint of "complaint" or "coquettishness," creating a stark contrast to her current strong businesswoman attire and the cold, serious expression on her face that seemed like a mask she could hardly remove.

Her demeanor might captivate many people.

But now, Lin Xu only felt a pang of heartache.

She was truly being pushed forward.

Even in just two short years, she has endured enough.

What about Jiang Xingye from other worlds?

Even in this world, what about Jiang Xingye in other timelines?
The waiting time is often 10 years or more. How much unspeakable hardship does she have to endure during such a long period of time?

Lin Xu let out a heavy sigh.

At this moment, the two of them were already standing at Jin Xiaochuan's door.

Pulling his slightly jumbled thoughts back, Lin Xu reached out and knocked on Jin Xiaochuan's door.

"Bang bang bang!"

The sound echoed in the hallway.

Jiang Xingye shouted:
"Jin Xiaochuan!"

"I am the campus recruitment manager of Hoshino Tech."

"We obtained your information from your mentor and would like to speak with you to invite you to join our company."

"Jin Xiaochuan, are you there?"

"Could you open the door?"

Before Jiang Xingye could finish speaking, the door suddenly opened.

Lin Xu spotted Jin Xiaochuan immediately, whose hair was somewhat disheveled.
