Did the world end today?

Chapter 308 The Last Chance, Left for the Future
The sun had risen completely in the distance, and the dew on the ground was gradually evaporating.

In the valley, the Tyndall effect creates a beam of light that appears to be a physical entity, projecting onto the ground and illuminating the entire valley.

The Planet
It was almost exactly the same as the alien planet that Lin Xu had seen in movies before.

It is equally vast, equally bizarre, and equally full of unfamiliarity, yet also possesses a fresh and exciting beauty.

But this planet will inevitably be destroyed in 40 minutes by a time storm that sweeps across the entire eternal superposition world.

Moreover, after one enters the world, the entire world may be destroyed due to "secondary disasters," also known as "vacuum decay."

At that time, I will be forced to say goodbye to this world completely.

Although each world I enter is different, once vacuum decay occurs, my arrival as a butterfly will inevitably trigger a disaster, and I will no longer be able to obtain any meaningful information.

Um? ?

Zhou Yue
No, could his theory that "butterflies bring about the end of the world" have come from here?
Lin Xu frowned, pondered for a moment, and then asked:
"So you mean I can no longer enter this world?"

"uncertain."

Jiang Xingye shook his head and replied:
"We can still take risks."

"Returning to the initial question, we have discovered a solution to the problem of 'chaotic systems in limiters,' or in other words, we have made a preliminary step toward 'high-dimensional adaptability.'"

"Although the distance is still far, we have indeed further corrected the beacon's direction by using the limiter array."

"If the information is accurate, then from now on, the time beacon for your entry into this world should be locked at two points: 2025 and 2044."

"Compared to the previous plan, this 'single crossing' is more efficient and less risky."

"But this still cannot fundamentally change the fate of this world."

"As long as you continue to come into this world, vacuum decay will inevitably occur. And it is very likely that such a disaster will destroy all our hopes of 'rebooting'."

"Because such secondary disasters are different from the disasters brought about by the 'high-dimensional tsunami' during the apocalypse."

"It is 'triggering,' and the source of its triggering is inherently 'information interference.'"

This is an endless loop.

If you want to save the world and pull it out of the sea of ​​time, then you have to intervene.

However, interference can trigger uncontrolled vacuum decay.

If you try to catch it, you'll die; if you don't, you'll die anyway.

A complete paradox.

At this moment, Lin Xu finally understood why Jiang Xingye was so depressed.

He sat back down on the lawn, remained silent for a few seconds, and then asked again:
"So, you think that if this world is destroyed due to vacuum decay, then all hope of being saved will be lost?"

Jiang Xingye nodded slowly.

"Yes."

"It's an intuition without any theoretical basis, but I'm really scared."

"I'm not afraid of dying."

"If I were alone, I would not be afraid, whether it was countless deaths or eternal silence after one death."

"But we have given the world hope."

"We have given hope to everyone in this world."

"If they knew that dimensional ascension was a lie, what would they think?"

"If they didn't know from the beginning, wouldn't we be even more sinful?"

Lin Xu's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Dimensional ascension is a lie.

There it is again.

Could Zhang Liming's viewpoint have come from Jiang Xingye?

No.

wrong.

The world hasn't reached its furthest point yet, and Jiang Xingye's statement was merely a coincidence born of empathy.

But Lin Xu always felt that there might be a connection between the two.

I am very close to the truth.

But I no longer have the chance.

Lin Xu calmed himself down a bit and then immediately opened the panel of the Butterfly Plan.

There are 40 minutes left.

"Let's not waste any more time on nonsense."

"If your theory about vacuum decay is correct, then I will have to minimize the number of times I enter this world."

"I want to avoid triggering vacuum decay as much as possible, leaving the last chance for the future."

"Of course, it's also possible that the effects of vacuum decay aren't as terrible as you think."

"If we can all ascend to higher dimensions, why would we be afraid of a mere vacuum decay?"

"It's just that our previous research didn't specialize in this field, and the relevant theories are still relatively weak, which is why it seems both unfamiliar and scary, right?"

That makes sense.

Jiang Xingye nodded subconsciously.

"But we don't have enough information yet."

"According to our speculation, even if all the information is gathered, it will not be enough for the Destiny Stone Main World to successfully create the limiter."

"There are too many engineering problems—not just engineering problems, but the impact of many seemingly insignificant missing application technologies will be magnified many times over when the limiter is finally manufactured."

"For example, we might even need to use strong interaction materials to manufacture the key throat device of the limiter to counteract the 'gravitational erosion' effect of strong gravitational fields."

"But right now, the limit we can achieve is only subatomic scale manipulation and localized induction of the strong nuclear force."

"That's very..."

"unimportant."

Lin Xu raised his hand to interrupt Jiang Xingye.

"The scholars in our world aren't useless either." "Are we really only able to develop by relying on you, by waiting for you to feed us technology?"

"Don't worry, that's not true."

"We are also working hard, and we will move forward."

"You have laid a very solid foundation for us, and that is enough."

".clear."

Jiang Xingye nodded slowly.

Lin Xu was completely immersed in the new technologies on the Butterfly Contingency Panel. This time, he was more focused than ever before.

Because he knew that this might really be his last chance.

Seeing his expression, Jiang Xingye did not interrupt.

Time ticked by, and when she noticed that the 40 minutes Lin Xu had mentioned were about to pass, she finally spoke up to interrupt.

"The time is coming."

Lin Xu raised his head and took a deep breath.

"I haven't finished writing it down."

"But this is my limit."

"I know."

Jiang Xingye looked directly into Lin Xu's eyes and said solemnly:
"This may be the last time we meet, or it may not be."

"But if you determine that you must obtain more information from this world, do not hesitate, even at the risk of vacuum decay."

"I know."

Lin Xu nodded slowly.

He knew that Jiang Xingye was prepared to bear everything and accept the cruelest ending.

but
He will not allow such a thing to happen.

In the distance, the bizarre phenomenon of a time storm raging had already appeared in the void of the universe.

In his final moments before losing consciousness, Lin Xu spoke:
"do not worry!"

"I will save this last chance for the future!"

As his consciousness returned to his body, Lin Xu opened his eyes and rushed to his desk without stopping. He turned on his computer and began recording the technical information he had gathered from the bracelet's world.

This time, the amount of information he obtained was unprecedented.

There have been more than a dozen technological breakthroughs related to limiters, most of which are focused on basic theory, while some are related to applied technology.

For example, the localized strong nuclear force-induced materials mentioned by Jiang Xingye.

Although she described it as "manipulation at the subatomic level," it was actually...
Compared to the technology of the main world of Destiny Stones, it is already unprecedentedly advanced.

It is only one step away from being a true strong interaction material!
Even in a world completely devoid of external information, if we follow this path, we could develop strong interaction force materials technology in another 20 or 30 years.

The golden humans of the Alliance era were truly terrifying.

Lin Xu's fingers flew across the keyboard as he stared intently at the computer screen. Even when there was a knock on the study door, he simply said "Come in" without looking up.

When the door was pushed open, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that Jiang Xingye, dressed in pajamas, peeked in.

Can I speak?

Jiang Xingye asked in a low voice.

"No."

Lin Xu continued typing intently on the keyboard, occasionally writing a few lines in his notebook.

The only sounds in the study were the clatter of keyboards and the swishing of pens across paper.

Jiang Xingye didn't disturb him, but sat down on the sofa opposite him and waited quietly.

It took him nearly two hours to finally finish organizing all the information he had brought back from the Alliance Era world.
-
However, it only outlined the general framework.

Lin Xu let out a long sigh of relief and raised his head.

Jiang Xingye noticed his movements and asked:
"it's over?"

"not yet."

Lin Xu shook his head and replied:

"These are just the most basic frameworks. To improve them, a lot of time and resources will be needed."

"Hand it over to a think tank?"

Jiang Xingye continued, asking:
"They must have a considerable backlog of unprocessed technology. Can they handle it all?"

"Cannot be digested."

Lin Xu shook his head, then continued:

"This is between the two of us."

"We need to shift our focus."

"The previous cramming-style technological breakthroughs were not useless, but they relied too much on information from another world."

"Now, we need to shift our focus back to our own world."

"If before we were just directing operations from the rear by looking at situation maps..."

"Now, we really have to take matters into our own hands."

After Lin Xu finished speaking, Jiang Xingye nodded first, then asked:

"What happened in the other world?"

Lin Xu replied in a deep voice:
"The opportunities in that world are almost exhausted."

“We need to give them as many opportunities as possible so that we can successfully rescue them after they have ‘ascended to a higher dimension’.”

"Before this, our world had always been receiving support from other worlds without any cost."

"This time, although we are not powerful enough."

"But we must also do our best to help them!"
