Did the world end today?

Chapter 255 is more than just a tool

From the moment Lin Xu walked into the office until the three of them entered the cafeteria, sat down in the private room, had breakfast served, and even after the soy milk and steamed buns had gone cold, their discussion never stopped.

Lin Xu clearly felt that his understanding of "mathematics" was improving.

At the very beginning, when the topic was just starting, Lin Xu needed to think deeply and search his memory for fragments of information he had seen in the world of the Alliance era in order to answer the questions from Jin Xiaochuan and Yang Le.

But gradually, his thinking became clearer and clearer, and the outline of this set of "choice axioms invalid" rules slowly emerged in his mind, like an inscription with the dust blown away.

"Therefore, we not only need to establish the set boundary of the definable region through ergodic chaotic dynamics theory, but also need to add the chaos compensation lemma to ensure that the system does not contradict itself."

"The purpose of this theory is actually to describe the topological fluctuations of spacetime quantum foam, and that is where its key role lies."

“The night before, we had just confirmed a lead on quantum spacetime foam.”

"We have determined that the exploration of the instability of quantum spacetime foam may be related to decoherence, energy instability, and entropy increase."

"And all three of these are actually strongly correlated with topological fluctuations."

"The connection point of these technologies is this set of 'custom tools'."

"The logic behind all technological development has finally been thoroughly clarified."

Lin Xu's words were more for himself than for the other two.

After so much exploration, he still couldn't get close to the so-called "limiter" technology from the League era.

But today, he not only touched the edge, but has even stepped inside.

Every piece of technical information I acquired was useful.

What is the general solution for chaotic systems?

This is useful; it forms the basis for developing "customized tools" that address the "failure of the choice axiom."

A mathematical system where axioms fail?

It's useful; this is key to solving the problem of quantum spacetime bubble instability.

Once the problem of instability in quantum spacetime foam is solved, it may be possible for humans to create stable high-dimensional channels.
-
Even if it's just a channel with an extremely low energy level.

However, this is also the foundation for moving towards true limiter technology, and even towards a higher dimension!

So, how long did it take humanity in the Alliance era to take this step and put these pieces together?
According to Lin Xu's previous memories of entering the league, it should have been 7 years.

Moreover, they had only completed their theoretical research within seven years and had not yet begun practical application.

With this kind of efficiency, how could they possibly survive the apocalypse?
Even now, even in this world of Destiny Stones, where I've only spent a month figuring out the direction, I still feel like there's not enough time!

Hey.

Zhang Liming.
Lin Xu's thoughts drifted away.

He didn't notice that the two people opposite him were looking at him with an indescribable sense of shock.
-
So, do "generalists" really exist in this world?

Jin Xiaochuan turned to look at Yang Le, and the two exchanged a knowing, wry smile.

It's not because Lin Xu was wrong, but because Lin Xu was absolutely right.

This led them to believe that even those of them specializing in mathematics were inferior to Lin Xu.

He not only pointed out the direction and structure of the new theoretical system, but he had even foreseen the application scenarios of this theory.

Although neither of them understood high-energy physics, they could clearly tell from Lin Xu's words that his judgment was correct.

This doesn't even require much verification.

Just by looking at Lin Xu's confident demeanor, you can tell the answer.

What kind of monster is this?
Or perhaps, an omniscient and omnipotent god?

Jin Xiaochuan dared not think any further, and at this moment, Lin Xu also noticed the abnormality in the expressions of the two.

"what happened?"

Lin Xu asked:
"Am I wrong? Why do you look so strange?"

"No."

Yang Le quickly waved his hand.

"I just think, Comrade Lin Xu, you are really much smarter than us."

"There are many things we can only do as assistants; there's not much else we can do."

Good guy.

Theocracy!

Lin Xu felt a jolt run through his body.

If his previous concept of "divine right" was merely a thought experiment existing "in theory," then at this moment, he had truly witnessed the concrete manifestation of "divine right."

The two mathematics professionals opposite them were shaken by their own information!

No, they certainly wouldn't lose faith so easily.

But they are indeed wavering.

Lin Xu took a deep breath and solemnly began to speak:
"Do not."

"You've got one thing wrong."

"I am just a tool. Without you, I can't do anything."

"Jin Xiaochuan, the theory I told you was originally derived from the foundation you laid."

"Professor Yang, without a group of truly top-notch mathematicians like you, this theory would never have been able to be developed and perfected in such a short time."

"Don't overestimate my strength, everyone!"

"We're all in the same boat, I'm counting on you guys to help us survive!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two people opposite Lin Xu laughed at the same time.

Indeed, I am not so "insignificant".

but.
Lin Xu said he was just a tool?
That's a bit too modest.

It's even utter nonsense.

Stop joking, do you even have a tool like that?
If you treat yourself as a tool, how are other people supposed to live?
Although you say you're just copying or plagiarizing, your performance...
Even a fool could see you're no ordinary person, okay?

Jin Xiaochuan picked up the soy milk and took a sip.

It has to be said that at this moment, he truly had more respect for Lin Xu.

How could he not know how strong he is?
He definitely knows.

He, however, was simply engrossed in his own work.

Even setting aside his intelligence, his temperament alone is something I can't keep up with.
Try Harder.

After finishing the last sip of soy milk, Jin Xiaochuan glanced at Yang Le. The latter nodded at him, and the two stood up at the same time.

"Mr. Lin, we're leaving now."

"The idea is already very clear; all that's left is trial and error, adjustments, and testing."

"We will provide the results as soon as possible, and you won't have to wait long."

"Thank you!"

Lin Xu stood up to say goodbye to the two men, and only sat down again after watching them leave.

Breakfast was completely cold.

I took out my phone to check the time; it was 11 a.m.

What's the point of eating this?!
Lin Xu looked at Qin Feng opposite him and asked:
"Has lunch been made?"

Let's just have lunch.

An hour later, Lin Xu returned to the office with the lunch he had brought for Jiang Xingye.

Jiang Xingye was already sitting on the sofa waiting for him. Taking the food from his hand, she opened the packaging and asked, "..."
"So you just finished discussing the new system with them in the cafeteria?"

"more or less."

Lin Xu replied:
"We've pretty much figured things out, but there are still some issues that need to be resolved, which should take one to two days."

"Even if it's just preliminary progress, it's worth taking a look at it in the world of the Alliance era."

"Your judgment is correct; it is indeed a petri dish."

"And once you start using it as a petri dish, it seems like everything goes smoothly."

"Look."

Jiang Xingye raised his head triumphantly.

"So I'm still useful; I'm not just a pretty face."

"If you're just a pretty face, then there's no one useful in this world."

Lin Xu was both amused and exasperated.

How could you possibly think that someone would call you a "pretty face"?

Is self-awareness really that unclear?

Although Jiang Xingye hasn't really started taking on any key projects in the main world yet, the Zhuzhou Ring Road and the subsequent "Tianmen Project" are almost destined to be tied to her and Zhang Liming.

What kind of vase is this?
Or is it that you feel you're too idle and want the organization to give you more responsibilities?

Don't.

We're already working from dawn till dusk, and if we add more burdens, our bodies really won't be able to handle it.

Lin Xu was about to say something to Jiang Xingye, but the other party suddenly spoke up:
"I don't think it's appropriate for you to keep talking about these things outside of office areas."

Lin Xu was stunned for a moment.

"What?"

Jiang Xingye said in a serious tone:

"Because every time you talk about these things, you bring about crucial progress. This time it was the cafeteria, last time it was the activity room, and before that it was your living room."

"If we really survive the apocalypse, it will be difficult to build a memorial hall because there are too many sites."

What kind of wild idea is this?!

Lin Xu said with amusement:
"You're thinking way too far ahead. This is still nothing, not even close to being realized yet."

"Is it far away?"

Jiang Xingye put down his chopsticks, then smiled slyly and said:

"Then let's talk about something closer to home."

"I have two very recent matters that require your attention."

"Oh?"

Lin Xu asked curiously:

"What's going on?"

"The first thing."

Jiang Xingye held up one finger.

“Su Yuchen is coming over this afternoon. I think you should come with me and Qi Yuan to pick her up.”

"She is also a key figure. Although it seems like you haven't met her in another world for a long time, I always feel that she has an even greater role to play."

"Even if she isn't, she's still very important to Qi Yuan, so we should pay attention to her too."

"agree."

Lin Xu nodded without hesitation.

He firmly believes that those who haven't appeared yet are not useless; it's just that the time hasn't come for them to play a crucial role.

For example, Zhang Liming, He Qijun, Ayana, and Xu Jin.

Therefore, it is both necessary and essential to maintain our attention to Su Yuchen.

"Anyway, I should be free this afternoon, I'll go with you to pick her up."

"it is good!"

Jiang Xingye chuckled and said:

"Let's go on a date!"

Then, she extended her second finger.

"The second thing."
