Did the world end today?

Chapter 293 Crazy World

An incomplete limiter can exist, but it cannot explode?
As soon as Aishwarya finished speaking, Lin Xu's expression changed instantly.

So, Yu Changwen from that world has already discovered that no matter how hard he tries, the world can no longer move forward?

The world of the Alliance Era is like a complex strategic planning game, where you must plan the optimal path within a limited time and limited resources.

However, even if this optimal path exists, there is a limit to how far it can reach.

The last eight months of humanity locked down the upper limit of this path.

If the limiter cannot be truly manufactured, then the so-called "dimensional ascension" is out of the question.

but
There is one more detail.

Yu Changwen said that his boss was wrong?
Does this mean that in one world, Yu Changwen has already fallen out with Zhang Liming?

No, it can't be called a falling out.

It should be said that a major disagreement has arisen?

This is exactly what Zhang Liming in this world judged: without some more powerful means of mind control, relying solely on thought binding is not that reliable.
-
Ok?
and many more.

It can't be said to be completely out of control. After all, since Yu Changwen witnessed the failure, it proves that he must have only come to his senses in 2044.

Prior to this, he had diligently stood on the same front, working for Zhang Liming's "ambitious goal" for 19 years.

Regardless, Zhang Liming has achieved his goal.

Even if someone tries to betray us in the end, it won't change the overall situation.

Lin Xu composed himself slightly, sat down beside Aishwarya's bedside, and began to ask her for more detailed information.

Meanwhile, Aishwarya's wounds were healing in a slow but orderly manner.

Two hours later, when the wound on her arm had healed to the point where only a faint scar was visible, Lin Xu had already obtained all the information.

Yu Changwen did indeed experience an era of rapid global development, but what he experienced was not an era of "butterfly existence" or the full disclosure of doomsday information.

His world
Quite scary.

At least for Lin Xu, it was terrifying enough to be called so.

After four years, the Error Corrector gained complete control of the world and officially ascended to the pinnacle of power.

From that time on, Zhang Liming began to rely on the technology and information he possessed to implement a truly "digital centralized" strategy in that world.

The strict reward and punishment system is just the most basic strategy. In fact, almost everyone in that world has been digitally coded by the modified "Reverse Current" project team.

A person's life is recorded by a string of numbers, which integrates all their information.

From personality, to emotions, to abilities, to life expectancy
Based on their comprehensive evaluation results, each person was assigned to the most suitable position.

With the rollout of artificial intelligence and Industry 5.0, unmanned productivity has developed rapidly and achieved self-sustaining growth in just a few short years.

From this point onward, humanity gradually faded from industrial production, instead becoming, in a sense, a part of the industrial world.
drag?

A large number of redundant people with poor endowments were eliminated in a relatively "gentle" way. They were concentrated in a city called the "Creative Center" and their only job every day was to use their brains to provide "creativity" for the world.

And there is only one reason why they still exist.

Maintaining stability.

A great deal of power is concentrated in the hands of a very small number of people. Ordinary people are not consumables, but in essence they are no different from consumables.

While reproductive behavior is encouraged, a large number of genetic modification technologies have also been introduced into the reproductive process in order to cultivate a new type of human that can develop and mature quickly and has high dimensional adaptability.
Zhang Liming in this world has gone completely mad. In pursuit of efficiency, he has sacrificed almost everything that can be sacrificed.

Unfortunately, his madness did not bring him the final result.

Even with such extremely short-term measures, humanity still failed to truly overcome the apocalypse.

You could even say they are still far from the end of the world.

After all, they haven't even built a real limiter!
Lin Xu frowned, but also seemed somewhat relieved.

Across from her, Aishwarya was tearing at the bandages on her body. Lin Xu turned his head slightly to the side, and only turned back after she had pulled her clothes back up.

At that moment, Aishwarya also asked a question.

"So, brother, why did that world, despite trying so hard, still fail?"

"Perhaps it's because they tried too hard that they didn't succeed."

Lin Xu's expression was grave.

Is there a problem with Zhang Liming's line of thinking?

Yes, and the problem is quite serious.

Throughout his career, he adhered to the ideology of "elitism." He did not believe in the organization of the people, nor did he believe in their ability to manage themselves.

Just as Zhang Liming himself in this world said, that Zhang Liming may very well have only seen the people as "lambs that need to be herded".

Lambs have no autonomy; they can only go with the flow.

This kind of thinking is another extreme of anarchism.

Perhaps in certain situations, it can indeed play a significant role, even creating a highly ordered society.

But can it achieve maximum efficiency?

Really not necessarily.

Because order itself comes at a price.

A large amount of resources and costs have been invested in maintaining order, crowding out resources for truly scarce projects.

This inevitably slows down overall efficiency, and by the time they realize this internal friction, the ship is already beyond turning back.

They had no choice but to grit their teeth and continue investing in "order," going down a dark path and accepting their ultimate fate.
Lin Xu explained his judgment to Aishwarya, but he wasn't sure if she could understand.

But from the slightly "warned" expression on her face, it was clear that even if she didn't understand, she could roughly sense the terrifying nature of this system.

After a few seconds of silence, Aishwarya asked again:
"Brother, is their world right?" "There's no right or wrong in these things."

Lin Xu shook his head and replied:
"From our perspective, this is just an attempt by humanity to overcome disaster."

"Essentially, it is no different from my chosen attempt to publicly announce the end of the world."

"I have no right to judge his right or wrong, good or bad, because the world I led also failed to survive the apocalypse."

"This is an unsolvable problem."

"Perhaps the doomsday line is just there, and it is impossible to cross it."

Deadline?

Aishwarya didn't understand the meaning of the word, but after Lin Xu finished speaking, she fell silent.

Because he discovered a major logical paradox.

According to Yu Changwen, their world was only four months away from ending.

But isn't this just a bug?
Even if one world manages to create a limiter in four months, they will still be destroyed by the time storm that sweeps across the entire "Eternal Superposition World".

This is an infinitely looping paradox.

To cross the river, you must first have a boat.

But if you need a boat, you have to cross the river first.

So at least in his world, the outcome was unchangeable.

But he did explicitly state this point.
"The limiter can be incomplete, but it cannot explode."

In other words, they have discovered that during the development of limiter technology, a special function will emerge to resist the effects of time storms and buy the world another 8 months.
Lin Xu's eyes lit up, and he turned to Aishwarya and asked:

"In Yu Changwen's memory, did he ever say what an incomplete limiter should look like?"

Upon hearing Lin Xu's words, Aishwarya remained silent at first, then slowly shook her head.

"he does not know."

"He only knew that the technology could be incomplete, but not specifically how it could be incomplete."

"He couldn't explain it either."

"Perhaps it's because in his world, nobody knows about it?"

That's certainly possible.

Lin Xu sighed.

In that world, the error correctors, led by Zhang Liming, charged forward relentlessly, without looking back.

They have only one goal in mind: to ascend to a higher dimension.

This means that they will not look back even once before the 20-year countdown ends.

They don't believe they can fail, and they can't accept failure.

Their belief in "dimensional ascension" is like the belief of some big iron cans in emperors: loyalty is not absolute, but it is absolutely disloyal.

They were on a road with no forks and no turning back.

In this situation, it's normal not to see any other possibilities.

But the consequences are...
Even though Ayana got the clue of "another possibility" from Yu Changwen, she couldn't use it immediately.

The only thing we can do is put it into the smart bracelet community and see if it can elicit any effective feedback.

This is the first nourishment I need to invest when I enter the world of the bracelet again.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Lin Xu stood up, looked at Aishwarya's wound, and said:
"I have to go now. You rest well here."

"Don't leave until your wound is fully healed. The doctor will take care of you."

"Please don't do anything so risky next time, okay?"

Aishwarya blinked at Lin Xu, then suddenly answered mischievously:

"not good."

Her face still had the expression of a child, and even carried a hint of "spoiledness".

But Lin Xu could clearly tell that her answer was serious.

She wasn't being sarcastic.

Lin Xu wanted to say something more, but Aishwarya spoke again.

"Don't worry, brother, I know what to do."

Lin Xu nodded slowly.

He waved, and the medical staff who had been waiting outside immediately came in and began to perform a simple physical examination on Aishwarya.

He walked out the door to avoid suspicion, where Zhang Liming was waiting.

"How are you? Is Ayana alright?"

"It's alright, she's a special high-dimensional experiencer, and her injuries are healing."

After he finished speaking, Zhang Liming finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If anything were to happen to Ayana, his mistake would be enormous.
Looking at his expression, Lin Xu suddenly found it somewhat amusing.

He paused slightly, then continued:
“Ayana also brought other information.”

"You probably have no idea what you've gotten yourself into in another world."
