Did the world end today?

Chapter 263 The cards haven't all been played yet.

Soon, Lin Xu opened his eyes on the sofa.

The sunlight streaming through the window into the living room made it feel exceptionally warm.

Imagine that world.
Despair, madness, even the bizarre.

Jiang Xingye, however, persevered for four whole years with Qi Yuan and himself.

I wonder how they spent those four years.

Initially, their team probably had more than three members.

Over the course of four years, people around them died one by one, until only three remained.

That kind of experience is unbearable to even think about.

They must have endured countless hardships to be so reckless when they confirmed that ZEROTH was still alive.

Lin Xu stood up and shook his head slightly; at this moment, he already felt a little sleepy.

For now, however, my mind is still relatively clear.

I glanced at the bracelet; the number on it was a stable "1".

One more chance!
He ran into the room and found his notebook, which now contained the information he had obtained from the bracelet world regarding the deduction of the K value. After he finished writing it all down, he wrote down new clues in the notebook.

Due to a flaw in the chosen formula's flawed system, an irresistible apocalyptic disaster struck the Alliance era, manifesting as a "time storm" that disrupted the natural order of time.

[In 2040, the world's technological development seems to be lagging behind its initial entry into the Alliance era.]

After writing down the second clue, Lin Xu paused for a moment.

That's right. When I first entered the world of the Alliance Era, I learned from Qi Yuan that around 2036, humanity had already mastered gravity interference technology and could build floating cities.

However, this time, the level of technological development is clearly lagging behind.

There is no gravity confinement technology. Judging from the weapon styles and architectural styles, the basic theory is indeed developing, but in terms of application, it has not exceeded the normal range.

Jiang Xingye's role as pollen was not fully utilized, Ayana's personality was blocked, and no more valuable information was provided.

And the root of all this is the disappearance of the error-correcting organization?

In other words, objectively speaking, this organization is indeed promoting world development?
So, how many cards do they actually have up their sleeve?

Lin Xu suddenly had a bad feeling.

Zhang Liming hasn't finished playing his cards yet.

It's not even finished yet!

Zhang Liming.
How much more is he hiding?

Was his own action actually within his expectations?
Lin Xu dared not draw a conclusion, but he felt that Zhang Liming did seem like the kind of person who was capable of doing such a thing.

After a moment's thought, he wrote down a new plan in his notebook.

[First, continue refreshing the world back to the pre-apocalyptic era of the Alliance, and send a message to Jin Xiaochuan to eliminate the apocalyptic crisis.]

[Secondly, resolve the issue of Zhang Liming locking down Ayana, eliminate Ayana's limitations, and further unleash the technological development of the Alliance era.]

Third, investigate what key clues the Correctors organization possessed after going underground, and how they restricted the world's development (this remains uncertain).

It's clear now.

After finishing the plan, Lin Xu closed his notebook.

He then lay back down on the sofa.

There's still one more chance, and Jiang Xingye hasn't gotten up yet, so of course we can't waste it.

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

Then, it quickly fell again.
"ZEROTH!"

"Lin Xu!"

Lin Xu opened his eyes and saw Jiang Xingye's surprised face.

Looking around, he was still in the main control room of that particle collider laboratory, and the people in front of him were...
I've already seen it before!
What time is it now?

He had barely opened his mouth when Jiang Xingye immediately replied:

"September 6, 2036."

"We are preparing to conduct the first high-dimensional impact particle collision experiment in the Lop Nur supertoroidal region."

"and many more!"

Lin Xu was startled, and then spoke:
"Pause the experiment!"

"Absolutely, absolutely do not start the experiment!"

"Stop the experiment immediately and evacuate everyone!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a look of surprise flashed across Jiang Xingye's face.

"Suspend the experiment? Why?"

why?
Because your theory is wrong!
Lin Xu never expected that he would coincidentally travel to the world of the Alliance era just before the experiment was to be launched.

He originally thought that after committing suicide in the future world, he would return to an earlier time.

For example, 2029, 2027.

If I could go back to that time, I would have had more time to plan ahead, and I could even cut off Zhang Liming's restrictions on Ayana from the root.

But clearly, all of these plans fell through.

Furthermore, he faces even bigger problems.

The end of the world is coming soon.

This time, it's humanity's own doomsday!

Lin Xu spoke urgently without pausing:
"Jin Xiaochuan's theory is wrong, and the unreachable base number he set is wrong."

"Therefore, all the experimental plans and equipment procedures you designed based on this theory are wrong, and even the existence of this so-called Lop Nur superconducting ring is wrong!"

"Stop the experiment, then connect me to Jin Xiaochuan, and connect me to the most cutting-edge team of physicists."

"Also, bring Ayana over here."

"I want to talk to her and Zhang Liming face to face!"

"it is good."

Jiang Xingye gave a brief reply, then immediately issued instructions through the communicator. Meanwhile, communication with Jin Xiaochuan was also established.

Through the screen, Lin Xu saw Jin Xiaochuan, who could be described as "disheveled".

His appearance at this moment was completely different from the one I had seen before.

When I saw him before, he only exuded a slightly "chaotic" or "messy" aura, but this time when I saw him again, he had completely transformed.
Sloppy.

Sloppy and unkempt.

The first thought that flashed through Lin Xu's mind was:
There is something wrong with this person.

No, it's not that his intentions were problematic.

Rather, this person is already useless.

Even the extreme effects of higher-dimensional channels did not turn him into this.

What caused him to become so颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of being listless, dispir

But there was no time for Lin Xu to ask further questions. He spoke directly to the screen:
"Your theory is wrong."

"The value of k you set is incorrect, which will inevitably lead to the failure of the experiment."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Xiaochuan's expression changed slightly.

A glimmer of hope seemed to flash in his eyes, but that light quickly dissipated.

"No, this value of k must be correct."

"We must follow these parameters; otherwise, the experiment simply cannot proceed."

The experiment cannot be carried out?

If you enter an incorrect parameter, will the experiment proceed?
What a joke!
Lin Xu ignored him and continued speaking to the other physicists who were already online:
"I have a set of gravitational fluctuation data that was directly measured from spacetime debris, and now I'm going to output the data."

"Don't rush to start the experiment. Try to help Jin Xiaochuan deduce the k value he needs based on my data."

"Only by truly limiting the chaotic boundary with this k value can our experiment possibly succeed!"

As he spoke, Lin Xu rapidly typed data on the keyboard.

Meanwhile, Jiang Xingye moved closer to him and said:
"I've already stopped the experiment. Ayana will be here in five minutes."

"clear."

Without looking up, Lin Xu, while outputting the data, explained the dire consequences of the failed experiment to the others at an extremely fast pace.

Time storm, a shattered world, and nearly annihilated humanity.
When he finished speaking and looked up, everyone in the video conference froze in place.

Everyone's face was filled with uncontrollable shock and panic, except for one person.
Jin Xiaochuan.

His expression wasn't panicked.

Instead, it was ecstatic.

"I knew it!"

"This must be wrong! I'm right!"

"How could the K-value be set so easily!"

"It must be exquisite, perfect, and beautiful—it should be beautiful under any set of rules."

"It shouldn't be blurry. How could it possibly be blurry!"

"I knew it would happen, I knew it would happen!"

Jin Xiaochuan was almost insane. Lin Xu frowned as he looked at him. From his few words, Lin Xu seemed to hear something different.

so.
He set the value of k to its current range, which is a kind of...
compromise?

To whom should we compromise?
Lin Xu turned to look at Jiang Xingye.

"Did you pressure him to keep up with the schedule?"

No! Never!

Jiang Xingye shook his head decisively and said:

"All his actions are autonomous. He is the leader and core of the team. How could anyone force him to keep up with the pace?"

“We abandoned our radical strategy after you came last time.”

"Right now, stability is our top priority in every step we take. If the mathematics team hadn't confirmed that the theoretical framework had been completed with a success rate of over 98%, we would never have been able to launch this experiment!"

After Jiang Xingye finished speaking, Lin Xu looked at Jin Xiaochuan again.

He was now completely immersed in his own world, muttering to himself as he performed his deductions.

Lin Xu quickly entered the data and handed it over to the physics group for analysis, while he himself shouted at Jin Xiaochuan.

"Jin Xiaochuan!"

"look at me!"

Jin Xiaochuan on the other side of the screen was startled. He subconsciously looked up and met Lin Xu's sharp gaze.

What exactly happened to you?

"Who exactly told you that this value can be applied?"

Nobody told me.

Jin Xiaochuan stammered in response:
"I know it myself."

"You know? What do you know?"

Lin Xu's tone was questioning.
