Did the world end today?

Chapter 290 Map
What tasks are assigned to the reverse flow project team?

Bai Mo immediately perked up, raised her head, and solemnly said:

"We are ready at any time."

"That's good."

The Chinese representative nodded slightly, and then said:

“You participated in the entire meeting today, and you are very clear about the problems we are currently facing.”

"Even with the technology fully disclosed, it is not an easy task to quickly implement and verify a technology."

"A very simple example is that even if we immediately release all the technical documents related to nuclear fusion, the United States will not be able to build the corresponding fusion power generation equipment in a short period of time."

"Because this is a complex systems engineering project."

"At present, no other country in the world, besides us, is capable of completing such a complex systems engineering project."

"However, it is impossible for us to take control of all the work ourselves."

"So, what I need you to do is very simple."

"We will build a truly large-scale fusion power plant in Yaohu, and it will be a power plant with the potential for 'negative energy fusion transformation'. The project is scheduled to be completed within 4 months."

"We need the reverse flow working group to participate in the entire project, and to fully summarize the project process and output standardized examples."

"Note that the standardized examples I am referring to here are not limited to standardized process documents for construction and building."

"We need to record all the materials, equipment, manpower, capabilities and other resources involved in the entire project cycle from preparation to operation, and form a complete construction model."

"This model will be exported to various qualified countries and used as a standard solution for the construction of fusion power generation equipment in the later stages."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Mo's expression changed instantly.

This short passage contains a wealth of information.

What surprised her most was not the fact that "a fusion power plant was built in 4 months".

Theoretically speaking, given the country's existing industrial and organizational capabilities, this project is not too difficult.

After all, with room-temperature superconducting materials already in mass production, the construction difficulty of magnetic confinement facilities has been reduced to the point that any construction team could do it.

The vacuum chamber, which is the most technically challenging part, has already accumulated a wealth of experience due to the construction of the previous two experimental reactors.

Let alone four months, she even felt that if she worked hard, she could get it done in three months, or even two and a half months.

What truly surprised her was the word "standardization".

Once standardization is involved, it means that the authorities have made up their minds to make the entire system completely "open source".

This also means that, in order to promote productivity, the government is indeed prepared to "use any means necessary."
However, the difficulty of this matter is still quite high.

As the representative said, building a fusion power generation device is actually a complex systems engineering project.

This kind of project is essentially a near-chaotic system.

Even the slightest disruption during the process, such as a one-hour delay in the supply of a particular material, could lead to the postponement or even failure of the entire project.

Otherwise, how could a high-speed rail line in Los Angeles have been in the works for over a decade and still be nowhere to be seen?
The goal is to summarize such a system into a completely standardized model.
How easy is it?

Indeed, only the Anti-Current Project Team could accomplish this.

Because the anti-current project team had accumulated a wealth of data-driven experience in the early stages of talent selection, they had also built a recording and evaluation system based on big data.

This system is used in the "engineering standardization" scheme.
It seems just right!
Thinking of this, Bai Mo answered:

"no problem."

"When does it begin?"

"tomorrow."

The representative paused slightly, then continued:

"I need you to draw personnel from the Anti-Current Project team to form a dedicated team within the next 19 hours to monitor the progress of this project."

"You need to arrive at Yaohu tomorrow morning and join the project team."

"clear."

Bai Mo took a deep breath and nodded emphatically.

19 hours.

For any organization, it is not an easy task to mobilize enough personnel in such a short period of time.

We can't waste any more time.

The rest of the meeting was no longer relevant to her. After a brief report, Bai Mo got up and left the meeting room.

It was already 4 a.m., and most of the project team members were already resting.

Another 4 hours?
Should we notify them now?

After hesitating for a few seconds, she still sent a message to the project team secretary.

"Notify core members at level two or above in the Technical Support Department, Data Analysis Department, Expert Group, and Organization Department to go online via telephone."

"We are about to launch a major project and need to discuss and come up with a specific implementation plan as soon as possible."

"Also, we'll be heading to Yaohu in two hours."

"From now on, the project team will operate at full speed."

Four hours later, at eight o'clock in the morning.

When Lin Xu opened his eyes and got out of bed, he subconsciously picked up the secure machine. On the secure machine, the latest intelligence he uploaded had already received timely feedback.

As he read through the list, Lin Xu, who had been feeling sleepy, immediately woke up.

What the hell?

Negative energy fusion?
I hadn't really considered this issue before—or rather, I hadn't paid much attention to it at the time.

The impact of the Acubieri engine on him was clearly far greater than that of an "ordinary" energy system. He almost subconsciously believed that since humanity had developed to that level, it should naturally have an almost inexhaustible supply of energy.

But he really hadn't thought about where this energy came from.

And now you're telling me this thing is related to negative energy?
More importantly, it has now been confirmed that energy is related to negative energy. Based on the information submitted, the think tank has also quickly deduced that the generation of negative energy is likely related to the fusion process of matter influenced by higher dimensions.

This is slightly different from my initial speculation—I previously thought that the generation of negative energy should be strongly related to time fragments, or even that it could be directly extracted from another world through a "high-dimensional channel".

However, according to Wang Yifan's speculation, it can be obtained through form.

This means that matter that returns through a higher-dimensional channel may, in some sense, possess the properties of a "battery".

Directly extracting negative energy and obtaining negative energy through fusion are two completely different, yet highly unified, technical solutions.

However, the most important issue in implementing the technical approach of the past two days remains...
Stable production of time fragments.

Limiter.

Lin Xu let out a soft breath.

He finally understood why this technology would become a key factor driving the world toward a downward spiral.

Because the long-tail effect of this thing is far stronger than I expected.
After reading all the information, Lin Xu got out of bed.

Jiang Xingye, who had just finished washing up, came out of the bathroom.

"Morning!"

She still looked full of energy, and compared to my exhausted self, it was as if all my energy had been drained away by her.

"Good morning, good morning."

Lin Xu climbed out of bed, put on his shoes, and went to the bathroom to wash up while asking:
"It's the weekend today, what are your plans?"

"I saw in the report from the National Security Bureau that your parents have already completed their confidentiality training, right?"

"How about we take them out for a stroll today? We felt a bit bad about leaving early last time."

"No."

Jiang Xingye shook his head and replied:

“I don’t have time—I just received a notification from the physics group that they need all the information on any high-dimensional channels that may appear in the near future.”

"This is very important for subsequent negative energy fusion technology. I need to find a way to actively contact the high-dimensional trigger point to obtain this information."

"However, there's still no progress."

At this point, Jiang Xingye suddenly felt a little disappointed.

After a brief silence, she spoke:
"I haven't received high-dimensional information for a very long time."

"Now I can kind of understand Jiang Xingye from the Alliance era—technology has developed so fast, I've actually become a bit out of touch?" "Do you think I should increase my strength? Maybe I haven't been exposed to enough things, and my opportunities to trigger events are too few?"

Jiang Xingye's face showed a hint of melancholy. Lin Xu subconsciously wanted to comfort him, but almost at the same time, he remembered Jiang Xingye's words in the bracelet world.

"Memorize all these coordinates; they will be just as useful in your world."

So, at that time, she had already foreseen the problems facing the world?

Could this be...?
Another trigger point for Jiang Xingye?

Thinking of this, Lin Xu raised his hand to interrupt Jiang Xingye, who was still figuring out how to utilize his "mechanism," and then said:

"I have some materials here, but they are not complete."

"Don't worry about whether you can find a new trigger opportunity for now."

"Take a look at this document first, see if there's anything familiar to you."

As he spoke, Lin Xu pulled Jiang Xingye to the desk.

The two sat down at the table. Lin Xu carefully recalled what he had memorized in the bracelet world. After a slight pause, he wrote down the first keyword on the paper.

“河北门源沙沟梁村，2025年10月12日，9点45分。”

Upon seeing this keyword, Jiang Xingye's face showed a hint of confusion.

But almost instinctively, she suddenly spoke:
"These coordinates are incorrect."

"It's not Hebei, it should be XJ, you're mistaken."

Lin Xu immediately looked up, while Jiang Xingye frowned.

Something's not right.

“I did not receive such information under any clear perception, but I just knew that the information was wrong.”

Receive without being noticed?

Lin Xu paused for a moment, then said:

"Look at this again."

“Wulihe, Xunxi County, 32 degrees northeast of Gaowuyan, 12.67 kilometers away, 14:22.”

"33.1116, 110.5067."

Jiang Xingye gave the latitude and longitude of the location Lin Xu mentioned almost instantly. At this moment, Lin Xu clearly realized that Jiang Xingye had changed.

She seems to have received the information in another form, but she doesn't know it yet?
Or is it that she has become so accustomed to the process of receiving information that she has lost her awareness of it?

Lin Xu didn't think too much about it and continued to write down new coordinates in his notebook.

In the world of smart bracelets, his time is extremely limited, and most of his attention must be focused on more critical technical information.

Therefore, in reality, he did not record much information about the specific location and time of the appearance of the high-dimensional channel.

Even so, even if he only provides an extremely vague place name, Jiang Xingye can instantly provide more specific information.

Halfway through writing, Lin Xu suddenly realized that his method was far too inefficient.

He probably used his computer to find a global map.

When Jiang Xingye's gaze fell on the map, her eyes instantly became empty.

Then, in the next second, everything became crystal clear again.

"I saw."

Jiang Xingye took a deep breath.

"This map is full of highlights."

All highlights?
Where are the highlights?

Lin Xu asked, puzzled.

Jiang Xingye rolled his eyes.

"I mean, in my opinion, this is full of highlights."

"This is just an abstract description. What I mean is, I have an impression of the higher-dimensional channels that are about to appear in my world!"

As he spoke, Jiang Xingye grabbed the mouse and zoomed in on the map, pointing to each landmark one by one.

"Hawaii Mashhad Kenpina, Hezhou"

Jiang Xingye moved very quickly.

She doesn't seem to be tagging by "geographical location".

Instead, they are marked one by one in chronological order.

Gradually, a "high-dimensional map" began to take shape.

Lin Xu watched silently from the side, his heartbeat quickening uncontrollably.

Before this, he had never obtained such detailed and complete high-dimensional channel information.

Because in any world, the appearance of a high-dimensional channel is a "probabilistic event," and it can only be recorded once it appears and is discovered.

Those that go undiscovered will silently disappear into the river of time, without causing any ripples.

But this time, the information Jiang Xingye obtained was more detailed than ever before.

Where did this information come from?

Lin Xu looked at the marks Jiang Xingye had made, the earliest high-dimensional channel, which even traced back to 2021!
That was when the earliest high-dimensional channels appeared on Earth.

Clearly, this information could not have been discovered or recorded at that time.

It was traced back in some way.

How did you do it?
Akubieri.

That's right.

The humans in that world already possessed the ability to travel through time.

They simply cannot "influence" others, but that doesn't mean they can't observe them.

This information is most likely related to this technology!
Dimensional Upgrade
It seems to be within reach.

Two hours later, Jiang Xingye had already marked thousands of marks on the map.

But it's not over yet.

Lin Xu reached out and pressed her hand down, and said:
"Don't rush, take a break, take your time."

"This is already a major breakthrough."

"We have enough information now. With this information, we can even mass-produce high-dimensional matter."

Jiang Xingye nodded slightly.

She released the mouse and said softly:
“I can feel that I am also ascending to a higher dimension.”

"Compared to you, the degree is different."

"But it's obvious that I'm different now."

After a pause, Jiang Xingye suddenly turned and asked:
"Do you think other people who have had higher-dimensional experiences might have the same feelings as me?"

"For example, Ayana?"

Lin Xu shook his head.

"I am not sure."

"But most likely."

"Om-"

Before he could finish speaking, the security device placed to the side suddenly vibrated.

Lin Xu picked up his phone and saw that the name displayed was...
Zhang Liming.

He answered the phone, and Zhang Liming's slightly hurried voice came from the other end.

"Lin Xu, I need you to come over."

"There's been a major breakthrough on Ayana's side!"
