Did the world end today?

Chapter 355 Home Experiment
In fact, after confirming the failure of the plan to strengthen demand through "war" and thus trigger a technological explosion, Lin Xu realized that there was a serious problem with trying to drive world development through indirect demand.

This problem is not unique to the demand for "war," but is common to all similar "indirect demand solutions."

The reason is simple: the incantation he uttered was not derived by humans through reasoning or experimentation, but rather a priori information that is similar to the "origin of the world" or a "divine oracle".

Such information is neither falsifiable nor needs to be falsified.

It inherently possesses a certain "sacredness," just as humans inherently know that they are "alive."

That is indelible information that has seeped into our genes and is embedded in our instincts.

Under such a mechanism, even the slightest deviation in a spell can cause the world to veer in an extreme direction.

When you include a clearly biased narrative in your spell, the whole world will turn in that direction.

If the spell contains the word "war," then the main theme is conquest, expansion, and slaughter.

If the spell contains the word "immortality," then technologies such as immortality, medicine, and gene editing will become the main theme.

If the spell contains the word "reproduction," the entire world might become a world controlled by something like "Slaanesh."

Of course, all these worlds will eventually reach a common, higher-dimensional ending due to technological advancements.

However, deviations in the process, the missteps in human technology development, and the resources consumed by choosing the wrong path will ultimately offset most of the "acceleration effect" brought by this spell.

The final result is that, like those "war civilizations," they complete their dimensional ascension in a completely shattered state.

Thinking of this, Lin Xu spoke up:
"The previous spell has already eliminated a wrong answer for us."

"If we want to promote the development of high-dimensional technology, we can only start with high-dimensional technology itself."

"Humanity's goal must always be to ascend to higher dimensions, regardless of when or from which group this spell begins to take effect."

"This is an unchangeable necessity."

"Therefore, at this stage, what we can adjust are still the two 'sliders' that we have already discovered."

"clear."

Jiang Xingye nodded slightly, then asked:

"What are your thoughts?"

"We need to go back to the spell from before last and iterate on it."

Lin Xu replied:
“Last time, our approach was correct.”

"It is correct, at least from the perspective of 'time dimension'."

"What we actually need to adjust is the 'professionalism' slider."

“We need to choose a direction that ‘ordinary people’ can participate in, and set the spell in that direction.”

"Directions that ordinary people can participate in?"

Jiang Xingye frowned.

"Last time, the spell we proposed was aimed at the specific heat of solids, which is actually a relatively easy concept to understand in the field of quantum physics."

"How much further can the complexity of this concept be reduced?"

"Home Experiment"

Lin Xu replied:
"We're downgrading directly to the level of home experiments."

"The last time we used the spell, our approach was actually to rely on elite scholars who already had a theoretical foundation and to further advance based on their academic work."

"This is 'advancement,' not 'addition.'"

"What if there were a spell that could broaden our pool of participants?"

"What if there were a magic spell that could ignite public enthusiasm for quantum physics in a short period of time?"

"As I said before, all the spells we cast are a priori and naturally credible."

"Therefore, this incantation will surely ignite a special enthusiasm in the whole society for a certain direction."

"What we need to do is find a way to make this incantation have a broad mass base while also having a certain degree of 'revealing' meaning."

"I've come up with a really great idea." "What idea?"

Jiang Xingye asked curiously:
"A family experiment. You don't mean to have everyone do the double-slit experiment, do you?"

"No."

Lin Xu shook his head and said:
"The double-slit interference experiment is a good starting point, but the results it yields are not 'inspirational'."

"Didn't you do this kind of experiment when you were in school? In fact, when I saw the double-slit interference phenomenon, I wasn't really that excited."

"At that time, I thought this experiment was no different from 'using a prism to create a rainbow'."

"So what we do need is an experiment, but it should be a more intuitive and counterintuitive one."

"My suggestion is a red-violet light experiment."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xingye immediately understood what Lin Xu meant.

"The color paradox?"

"Yes."

Lin Xu nodded slowly.

"This is an excellent entry point—it allows ordinary people to immediately realize that there is no direct link between energy and electron excitation."

"Public understanding of the quantum world may be greatly enhanced in the short term, and if this spell had been in effect before 1900, we might have even been able to stimulate a comprehensive exploration of quantum physics ahead of schedule."

"understood."

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Xingye tentatively asked:
"So the spell you want to send is to irradiate the phosphorus powder with different lights."

"Completely correct!"

Lin Xu nodded emphatically.

At this point, he had only 20 minutes left.

"Get ready to send the spell."

"Now, I will write down as much information as possible about 'high-dimensional adaptability'."

"These 20 minutes are all mine!"

Twenty minutes later, Lin Xu's consciousness left the other world and returned to his body in the world of Destiny Stone.

Opening his eyes, he did not hesitate at all, immediately went to his desk, opened his notebook, and began to record the clues he had obtained about the "high-dimensional adaptability of elite civilizations".

As the information in his mind was imprinted onto paper, he immediately realized that his guess was correct.

The methods by which this civilization achieves high-dimensional adaptability are largely reflected in the "changes" in Yu Shiliang's brain.

They did indeed achieve the "regeneration" of information by modifying some functions of the human brain, thereby gaining the ability to resist interference from high-dimensional information.

However, such a solution inherently has flaws that cannot be eliminated.

Because not every person, and not every collection of information, has the potential to be transformed.

It is destined to be applicable only to a very small number of "special individuals", such as Yu Shiliang and Ivan.

Lin Xu let out a long breath.

This plan is clearly not the final one.

But perhaps it will be a breakthrough.

Lin Xu put down his pen and closed his notebook.

He was just about to go out to inquire about the progress of Qin Feng's investigation when, at that moment, there was a knock on the office door.

After receiving his response, Qin Feng pushed open the door and entered.

Then he began to speak:
"There's been a problem with Qin Shizhong."

"That's not the only staff member affected!"
