Did the world end today?

Chapter 250 The Explosion Will Eventually Happen

"She's not at the base. I'm giving the order now; she'll be there in half an hour."

Jiang Xingye quickly answered while pulling up the data and projecting it onto the screen in front of Lin Xu:

“Ayana is a very strange person. We are certain that she should play a key role, just as you have judged, but in any case, we cannot make any progress with her.”

“She was completely resistant to us; she refused to communicate or cooperate.”

"Now she's just an uncooperative ordinary person. Forget about triggering her other personalities. After two years, she can't even speak anymore."

"Are you kidding me?"

Lin Xu looked at Jiang Xingye in astonishment.

How can it be?

When I last entered this world, I clearly explained to Jiang Xingye how to trigger the "Aishwarya" personality.

Theoretically, this method should be universal.

Once Aishwarya's personality is found, the people here can continue to break through along this main personality and unlock other personalities.

But it seems...
This step didn't go smoothly?

So how did Zhang Liming manage to take this step back then?

How did those error correctors convince Ayana to cooperate with them?

Wait a minute.

Lin Xu realized that he seemed to have overlooked a crucial factor.

When I triggered Aishwarya's personality...
Her "dominant personality" is Zhang Liming's personality!
In this world, Zhang Liming is absent!
Where is Zhang Liming?

Lin Xu asked impatiently:
"Where did he go?"

"died."

Jiang Xingye quickly replied:

"He died in an extremist event in 2026, leading what you call the 'error correctors' organization in an attack on official testing facilities in an attempt to regain control of the narrative."

“In that operation, most of the participants were killed or captured, and Zhang Liming was on the death list.”

Are you kidding me?
Lin Xu became increasingly confused.

Zhang Liming, would he do something like this?
He's not Zhou Yue, and his men aren't the lunatics from Planetary Reincarnation.
-
Of course, that's not entirely true.

Initially, he gathered a group of "high-dimensional experiencers," who were more paranoid and had more obvious personality flaws than ordinary people. Theoretically, it was understandable that they would do crazy things.

However, Lin Xu could not believe that Zhang Liming would choose such a desperate and low-return option.

Are you sure Zhang Liming is dead?

Lin Xu asked:
"Could it be that they used the special ability of those who have experienced higher dimensions to escape, or that they are simply a substitute?"

"impossible."

Jiang Xingye shook his head and said:

"His body is still kept in the morgue; we're not that stupid."

That's weird.

Lin Xu frowned. He didn't know what Zhang Liming meant by doing this, but from any perspective, it seemed more like a "turning point" for the Error Correctors organization.

A turning point from above ground to completely underground.

He recalled the assessment given by the official think tank.

Now, the situation has basically aligned.

"You should continue to pay attention to this organization; they may exert their influence in more areas."

"In addition, we cannot relax our efforts to keep an eye on Ayana."

"She is very important, extremely important."

“And now, you have already become somewhat lax in your treatment of her.”

Lin Xu's statement was not meant to accuse Jiang Xingye, but rather to objectively point out a clear fact.

This key figure will not arrive for another half hour.

Furthermore, she wasn't even included when Jiang Xingye first launched the operation!
This is enough to prove that people in this world have ignored her.

"I know."

Jiang Xingye couldn't help but sigh.

"But it's difficult; I can't do as much as you might imagine."

"I know."

Lin Xu raised his hand to interrupt Jiang Xingye.

He continued to ask:
"What about Jin Xiaochuan? How's his progress?"

"Progress is very slow."

Jiang Xingye replied:

“Building a completely new mathematical system is not so simple. According to him, it took him two years to just solve the problem of the ‘foundation’.”

“And extending from the foundation, there is still an entire building that needs to be constructed.”

"This process may take three to five years, and it must be based on a breakthrough in our research on high-dimensional channels."

"clear."

Lin Xu said no more, but looked down at the "World Development Intelligence" that Jiang Xingye had provided him.

According to the documents, not many significant events occurred in the world during those two years.

Just as Lin Xu, or rather the think tank, had predicted, after Jiang Xingye established a cooperative relationship with the military, the two sides quickly reached an agreement and established a highly efficient military-industrial technology composite system. Utilizing the system's terrifyingly efficient execution capabilities, they built the first particle collider in China with an energy level of 60 TeV three years ahead of schedule.

At the same time, based on this collider, the authorities have also completed the formulation of a future technology development plan.

The development of "limiter" technology is planned to be divided into two phases.

In the first phase, the authorities plan to build a basic limiter that meets the requirements of the "Tianmen" facility, based on the information and direction previously provided by Lin Xu.

In the second phase, they plan to continue building upon the initial limiter and explore the possibility of "dimensional ascension".

The scheduled completion time for this plan
It was 15 years. Radical.

That's far too radical.

A huge amount of resources were invested in this project, with manpower, technology and funds pouring in, and they did indeed achieve results.

The large particle collider in front of Lin Xu is their achievement!

However, Lin Xu vaguely felt that something seemed wrong.

In the past two years, have they made any progress in their research on higher-dimensional channels and the "laws" of the new world?

No!

The severe imbalance in resource allocation has slowed down research in other fields. Rather than concentrating resources on major tasks, this is more like a desperate gamble.

Lin Xu couldn't judge whether this plan was correct or not, because this country did have successful experiences in the past.

This is how atomic bombs were made, missiles were made, and satellites were made.

What if they actually succeed?
With 45 minutes remaining, Lin Xu continued to peruse the documents.

At that moment, the middle-aged man with gray hair suddenly spoke up in the video conference:
"The observation team is ready and can begin the experiment at any time."

Lin Xu looked up and saw that the location of the observation group had been updated on the screen.

But upon seeing this, his brows furrowed instantly.

"Are you kidding me? You're standing so close, do you think an explosion won't kill you?"

“All observation teams should retreat at least 10 kilometers away from the elliptical area formed by the line connecting the potential blast point and the forest lookout tower.”

"We only have this one chance. If the observation team fails, you may have to spend several years gathering new clues from the next random explosion!"

"no need."

The man shook his head and said:
"If a big bang caused by a quantum spacetime bubble really does occur, the closer we are, the more accurate the information we can collect."

Nima!

Do you think this is some kind of circus performance? The closer you get, the clearer it is.
Why didn't you go closer to see the nuclear test?
Lin Xu suddenly stood up.

The people in this world are more radical than he had anticipated.

Prior to this, he had always been working alone and had never had close contact with key officials.

He didn't know what the decision-making style of this world was like, but it seemed to be true today.
Madness!

They are far more arrogant than the people of the world of Destiny Stones!
No wonder there is fertile ground for error correctors to exist in this world.

In terms of social acceptance, the idea of ​​the error corrector is far stronger than the idea of ​​the "butterfly".

Jiang Xingye looked helplessly at Lin Xu, while Lin Xu said firmly:

“I don’t care who’s in charge normally, but during this hour I’m here, only I am in charge.”

"Now, on my orders, the observation group will retreat 10 kilometers."

"Two minutes later, the first high-dimensional information particle collision experiment will be launched."

"Execute immediately!"

Lin Xu's aura, honed through countless time travels, was on full display. When this aura was combined with Jiang Xingye's temporary privileges granted by the butterfly's arrival, no one could say anything more.

Two minutes later, the entire observation team had evacuated to their positions.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Xu issued the command to start the test.

Hydrogen gas, which had been affected by the high-dimensional channel, was injected into the pre-ion source. After being ionized into protons, it quickly entered the acceleration pipe to begin the acceleration process.

The energy level continued to rise, and in just 3 minutes, the particle accelerator reached its designed maximum energy level of 60 TeV.

Collisions and annihilation occur continuously in the pipeline, and monitoring instruments constantly output information.

"An asymmetric angular distribution of muon pairs has been detected!"

"Initiate screening for high transverse momentum single-photon events!"

"The information is clear, pay attention to collecting it!"

"understand!"

One instruction after another kept coming in.

This collision experiment lasted 5 minutes, meeting the time requirement for a single physical analysis.

The energy level gradually began to decrease, and the Big Bang predicted by Lin Xu...
It seems that nothing happened.

"There was no explosion."

In the video, the middle-aged man spoke:
"The experiment is over, and your prediction was incorrect."

"Just like your prediction of Ayana's role, that was also incorrect."

"No."

Lin Xu shook his head.

"The emergence of quantum spacetime bubbles is random in both time and space."

"The fact that it did not appear in sync with the experiment does not mean that it will not appear."

"I can predict the location, but I'm not sure about the timing."

"You need to keep monitoring it. An explosion could happen without warning in a month, or it could..."

"boom!"

The words are not finished yet.

On the screen, in the monitoring team's cameras, a massive explosion suddenly occurred.

In the vast, boundless forests of the Greater Khingan Mountains, space is ablaze.

A purple-white beam of light shot straight into the sky, just like the scene Lin Xu had seen in his dream.

Everyone at the meeting was stunned.

Lin Xu simply spoke calmly:
"Gather the information, I need to see the results immediately!"
