Did the world end today?

Chapter 260 K-Value

Chapter 260 K-Value (Fifth Update - Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader Kulu-jun x1)

The world is going to end??
Looking at Jiang Xingye's face covered in blood, Lin Xu's eyes were filled with disbelief.

The world will be destroyed in 2040.
The combination of these two words is quite incongruous, since in all previous times, the word "world destruction" has only been associated with the time point "2045".

He's even made it a habit that whenever he mentions the apocalypse, he thinks of 2045.

but now.
2040? ?
Lin Xu looked down at his hands, where a rifle was also being held.

However, compared to the era of 2040, this rifle is clearly...
It's too old.

There was no optical sight, the engineering plastic surface was pitted and uneven, and even the magazine was wobbly.

Clearly, this gun is heavily damaged in battle.

So what exactly did it go through?
What has happened to this world?
Just as Lin Xuzhen was about to ask a question, Jiang Xingye came over.

She gestured for Lin Xu to lower his voice, and then said:

"There are many enemies around here. Keep your voice down and don't alert them."

"enemy?!"

Lin Xu was completely stunned.

What the hell? ?
In the world of the Alliance era, will the concept of "enemies" still exist?
Of course, in Lin Xu's view, it is normal for people to have disagreements.

However, if it is between two major powers, they will obviously prefer to resolve the issue through mediation and negotiation.

However, if it is between a small force and a large force, the intensity of the conflict is simply impossible to escalate to the point of triggering a major war!

Even those who correct errors under Zhang Liming's leadership can only spread their influence in secret.

Because he knew very well that if they were exposed, and a conflict arose over their routes, their small, non-mainstream "team" would inevitably be swiftly wiped out under the iron fist.

So who is the enemy?
Seeing Lin Xu's confused expression, Jiang Xingye spoke up:
"Four years have passed since the great disaster."

"The world today is a post-apocalyptic world."

"The world's population has dwindled to less than 1%, and those who remain can only be described as barely surviving."

“We have held on for four years just to send you a message.”

"Because once you die in this world, even if you can go back to a point in the past, it is still impossible to undo the mistakes we have made."

Jiang Xingye spoke very quickly, and just then, light footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

Immediately following were three rhythmic tapping sounds.

Lin Xu cautiously raised his gun, while Jiang Xingye visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's Qi Yuan."

She picked up a stone and tapped it three times on the ground. In the distance, Qi Yuan's figure emerged from the doorway.

He wore a skull mask and became the familiar skull once again!

At this point, he hadn't noticed Lin Xu's change. As he got closer, he muttered curses.

"Damn it, the area around here has been completely cleared out."

“We have to keep moving; we can’t survive here.”

"Lin Xu, boss, you two stay where you are and wait for me."

"This is not Lin Xu."

Jiang Xingye interrupted Qi Yuan and continued:

"This is ZEROTH."

"ZEROTH??"

An excited look flashed in Qi Yuan's eyes.

"grass!"

"Finally, the hell I've been waiting for you!"

His fingers began to tremble, but Jiang Xingye raised his hand to interrupt him, and then said to Lin Xu:
"Let's get back to our previous topic."

“Since you left last time, we have spent seven years re-optimizing the particle collider.”

“We considered the edge mapping disorder problem you mentioned, and the quantum spacetime bubble stability problem. Then, we found that in order to achieve quantum spacetime bubble stability, we must first solve the problem of ‘selection axiom failure system’.”

"This is a set. A set."

Jiang Xingye seemed unsure how to describe it, so Lin Xu interjected at the opportune moment:
"This is a customized toolkit."

"Only with customized tools can you use this set of tools to solve physics problems."

"That's right!"

Jiang Xingye's eyes lit up.

"So you already knew??"

"Yes. You can continue."

Lin Xu secretly estimated the time in his mind. At this moment, six minutes had passed since he entered this world.

Jiang Xingye continued speaking.

"However, the system established by Jin Xiaochuan has problems."

"He attempted to use ergodic chaotic dynamics to constrain the mathematical boundary of systems where the choice axiom fails, but this boundary is not clear."

"We shouldn't have applied this project so hastily, but the scholars at the time believed that even with such an unclear boundary, it would be enough for us to conduct a small-scale experiment first."

"So we conducted small-scale experiments on the ground."

"And the result is what you see now."

"CEPC experienced a big bang. Instead of creating a stable quantum spacetime bubble, we detonated a huge wormhole."

"This wormhole caused a severe time-series disorder, which destroyed the entire human world almost instantly."

"Time sequence disorder?"

Lin Xu interrupted Jiang Xingye and then asked:

What does "time sequence disorder" mean?

"literal meaning."

Jiang Xingye pointed out the window and then said:
"See those ruins? Do you think they were caused by war or some kind of massive explosion?"

"no."

"That was the result of a 'time storm'."

"After that wormhole was opened, our part of the universe, with Earth at its core, underwent an uncontrollable and random collapse."

"Some particles accelerate forward along a predetermined trajectory, while others are moving backward along time."

"You might see someone age in an instant, or you might see someone quickly turn from an old person into a baby."

"This is just a simple example. The real impact is that such irregular collapse almost destroyed all 'man-made objects'!"

"Humanity was almost wiped off the earth, but the earth itself survived."

"Even now, the effects haven't completely dissipated; the world is in complete chaos." - Blue Shift.

As soon as Jiang Xingye finished speaking, a word suddenly popped into Lin Xu's mind.

In the Starship Age, he had witnessed such a devastating "Blueshift" disaster.

And that disaster.
It is associated with the apocalypse 20 years from now!

Humanity is indeed getting closer and closer to the truth of the end times.

Ironically, before they figured out how to fight the apocalypse, they created the apocalypse themselves!

Lin Xu took a deep breath and asked:
"Where is Ayana? Where is Zhang Liming?"

"Have you unlocked Ayana's personality? What information has she brought to you?"

"no!"

Jiang Xingye slowly shook his head.

"Even though we already know Ayana's identity, we still can't unlock her."

"Because Zhang Liming's personality is in a state of complete resistance, he is even capable of taking someone down with him!"

"So, he wasn't taken advantage of."

"But believe me, this time it's not because of human arrogance!"

"It's simply because we really have no other choice!"

"clear."

Lin Xu nodded slowly.

He stood up and looked past Jiang Xingye out the window.

There, amidst the desolation, he saw something that momentarily stunned him.

The sky reflects the ground.

Su Yuchen.

She had mentioned this scene to herself not long ago.

So, this is the apocalypse she saw?

No.

The size of this "mirror" seems a bit too small compared to the size she mentioned.

This is just a "fragment".

"What it is?"

Lin Xu pointed in the direction of the "fragments," and Jiang Xingye looked in the direction he was pointing before replying:

"That's a fragment of time."

"To be precise, it was a cloud of particles with disordered timelines."

"It exhibits the properties of total internal reflection; in fact, it has no physical form whatsoever."

"Its essence is a kind of chaos, but it exists stably in the form of chaos."

"This is the most dangerous thing in the world, we must..."

"Do not."

Lin Xu interrupted Jiang Xingye.

"It's not only the most dangerous thing in the world, but it's also the most useful thing in the world."

"it works?"

Jiang Xingye was stunned.

"Why? How will it work?"

"Because it contains the part of information that Jin Xiaochuan was missing, and also the part of information that we didn't complete the test in another world."

"What Jin Xiaochuan is missing is not complicated. He has no problem using ergodic chaotic dynamics to constrain the failure boundary of the choice axiom, but he has overlooked the most crucial chaos compensation lemma."

"He did not set a value for the unreachable cardinality k in this theory, or rather, the unreachable cardinality he set was incorrect."

"So, your experiment failed."

Lin Xu paused slightly, then continued:

"Now I know why a world cannot naturally evolve to a 'dimensional' level."

"Because to achieve dimensional ascension, one must first experience destruction."

"This is an information paradox."

"Only the world of Destiny Stones can obtain such information!"

"All right."

Lin Xu gripped the gun tightly, patted Qi Yuan on the shoulder, and said:

"Our goals are now clear."

"We need to find such a fragment of time and find a way to measure the inaccessible cardinality that allows it to reach equilibrium in chaos."

"Tell me, where can we find the equipment we need?"

"I need a complete gravitational wave measurement system to test the data. Does such a device still exist in the world?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a glint flashed in the eyes of both Qi Yuan and Jiang Xingye.

"Have."

Jiang Xingye answered eagerly:
"The Jinling Deep Space Observatory is the only monitoring station with its equipment completely preserved, and it's very close to us."

"But...it's dangerous there!"

Lin Xu frowned and asked:

How dangerous is it?

"Many enemies."

enemy?

Lin Xu smiled.

"It's ok."

He opened his mouth and said:
"This isn't the first time I've infiltrated that area."

"I have 49 minutes left."

"We'll fight and retreat quickly."

"If I really die here, I've already got the information you gave me anyway."

"If all else fails, we can start over!"
