Did the world end today?

Chapter 361 Next time, I will change the numbers.

Chapter 361 Next time, I will change the numbers.
When the spark was spread, the wildfire of this world began to rage.

All the countries that obtained project construction qualifications issued project approval announcements on the same day, and this time, the project construction period they set was finally within the range that humans can understand.

It's no longer a matter of 10 or 20 years, but rather ranges from 9 to 12 months.

Although it takes longer than the time it took for China to build the CKC crystal fusion project, at least we won't see a repeat of the situation where decades of construction were completed without even a kilometer of track being built.

Looking at the report on the table, Lin Xu also showed a relieved smile.

He looked up at Jiang Xingye across from him and said:
"It's a pity we don't have a performance appraisal system, otherwise, she would definitely be the best performer this year."

"What, you want to give her a bonus?"

"Yes."

Lin Xu shrugged and then replied:

"They did such a good job, shouldn't they get a bonus?"

"Yes, of course."

Jiang Xingye rolled his eyes.

"It's just meaningless."

"Money may completely lose its value in higher-dimensional worlds."

"After all, in a world of pure information, this traditional order would probably become completely ineffective, wouldn't it?"

"really."

Lin Xu nodded thoughtfully.

"Once we've decided that we're ultimately going to ascend to a higher dimension, it seems like many things aren't so important anymore."

"However, I still don't know what a true four-dimensional civilization is like."

"You do not know?"

Jiang Xingye asked curiously:
"When you entered another world, didn't you see what that world was actually like?"

"This is the most confusing point."

Lin Xu shrugged.

"Theoretically speaking, I did see the structure of that world."

"It is a world made up of sets of information, each set of information is like a 'neuron', connected together through a neural network."

"However, I don't know how these neural networks are organized or how they coordinate and cooperate."

"Even whether they need to coordinate and cooperate at all is a question."

"This point wasn't mentioned when I communicated with you in that other world."

"It seems she doesn't want me to know everything about four-dimensional civilization in advance, or perhaps even she can't fully understand her own world?"

"possible."

Jiang Xingye frowned.

Knowing herself as she did, this was indeed the only possible explanation.

But she always felt that something was wrong—theoretically speaking, it was impossible for her to deliberately hide information from Lin Xu.

Even if she has some unspeakable secrets, she will definitely confide in him.

Because the world of Destiny Stones is the only one that could potentially save all civilizations, Lin Xu, as its representative, needs to understand all the information.

Even negative information.

So, is that world also an illusion?
Just like the story Lin Xu had told him before?
Could my true form in that world also be a demonic tree carrying neurotoxins?

It actually feels pretty cool, doesn't it?
A faint smile inexplicably appeared at the corner of her lips, while Lin Xu, looking at her with a puzzled expression, asked:
"What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing."

Jiang Xingye stood up with a chuckle, glanced at the time, and said:

"Let's go, it's time to eat."

"Let's go."

Lin Xu casually grabbed his phone, and the two of them walked out the door together.

The distance from the office to the cafeteria wasn't far, but due to the increased security, Lin Xu no longer had the opportunity to take a leisurely stroll with Jiang Xingye.

The two went straight to the cafeteria after leaving the house, entered the private room and sat down. All the food had already been served.

Even though the monitoring of the food preparation process is more stringent than that of a bank vault, the food is still inspected by specialized testing personnel before it is served.

Lin Xu looked at everyone's actions with a puzzled expression and asked:
"What's going on? Is someone poisoning us?"

"It wasn't poisoning."

Qin Feng, standing to the side, replied:
"This is a conjecture."

“Some of our biologists have suggested that if Qin Shizhong can indeed modify the real world through the mapping effect of boundaries, then it is very likely that he can exert a certain influence on what you call ‘first-level information’ within a certain range.”

"Assuming he changes the shape of the food, he can also achieve the effect of poisoning from a distance."

"Therefore, we still need to be cautious."

"Isn't this being a bit too cautious?"

Lin Xu was both amused and exasperated.

Poisoning by altering the properties of food?

What a brilliant idea!
If he were really that strong, Qin Shizhong wouldn't have needed to be locked up in that detention room.

Couldn't one simply change the code on the detention cell walls, or even alter their own location information, to escape instantly?

Clearly, he cannot modify the "Level 1 Information".

The official security personnel's reaction was also excessive.

However, their caution is understandable after encountering such a bizarre event for the first time, which is beyond their previous experience.

Therefore, Lin Xu didn't say much.

While eating, he chatted with Jiang Xingye about recent major events. Jiang Xingye maintained his usual habit of holding up his phone and scrolling through short videos, and he seemed somewhat absent-minded when answering Lin Xushi's questions.

But as she swiped, a look of confusion suddenly appeared on her face.

She put down her chopsticks, reached for her phone, swiped the screen repeatedly, and after a few seconds of silence, suddenly spoke:
"Lin Xu, take a look at this."

Lin Xu took the phone, looked down at it, and asked in confusion:

"Isn't this just a marketing video? What's so strange about it?"

The entire video focuses on the latest developments in the Acubier technology, with little substance or technical support. Instead, it emphasizes the so-called promising future.

The funniest thing is that the marketing account didn't even know the full name of the Akubier technology, and the whole article was riddled with typos. This perfectly matches Lin Xu's impression of marketing accounts.

The author claimed that the typos were to avoid censorship, but in reality, it only exposed the author's illiteracy.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xingye replied:
"I misread a typo."

"There are too many, which one should I look at?"

"Four."

"Four?"

Lin Xu watched the video from beginning to end, and then he discovered that all the Chinese characters related to "four" in the video were replaced with "亖".

Very strange.

But it is not inexplicable.

After all, it's unclear how long ago marketing accounts started using this word to replace the word "death."

It's possible that the editor just randomly typed this word in when creating the subtitles.

Thinking of this, Lin Xu asked:
"What's wrong? Are you planning to launch a nationwide literacy campaign to standardize the use of Chinese characters?"

"No, I just think it's weird."

Jiang Xingye paused slightly before saying:

“In the new videos I’ve come across, all the ‘four’ characters have been changed to ‘亖’.”

"But those old videos are normal."

Is there some new mechanism? Or some new restrictions?

"Why does this feel like a hidden wave of public opinion?"

After she finished speaking, Qin Feng, who was standing to the side, finally couldn't help but come closer.

He glanced at Jiang Xingye's phone screen, paused for a moment, and then asked:

"What's wrong?"

"what?"

Jiang Xingye and Lin Xu both looked at Qin Feng at the same time.

"Are you kidding me? Didn't we already say it was a typo?"

Jiang Xingye shoved his phone in front of Qin Feng.

"Look closely, isn't this character wrong?"

"Which character is wrong? The character 亖?"

Qin Feng asked, puzzled:
"Isn't this the right thing to do?"

"Where is it right?!"

Lin Xu suddenly felt a chill.

Qin Feng wouldn't joke with him.

Especially at a time like this, he would absolutely never make such a joke!

An idea popped into his head.

Lin Xu quickly grabbed his phone and typed the syllable "si" into the keyboard.

The familiar character immediately popped into his head, but when he typed out the character "四" and held it up in front of Qin Feng to ask if he recognized it, Qin Feng's answer sent chills down his spine.

"I recognize this character—it's frequently used by marketing accounts."

"But this isn't actually a commonly used character, is it? It's basically not used in formal writing, right?"

That's the opposite.

Jiang Xingye also stood up.

It's all reversed.

The functions of the two words have been completely reversed!
-
and many more.

Is it the "history" of the text itself that has been reversed, or the concept itself?

Lin Xu took out the secure device and quickly searched through the old files.

Soon, he also saw the prominent "four" in the title of the official document.

History has not been altered.

So what was modified was...
concept.

This is a group hypnosis session!
Thinking of this, his expression instantly became more serious.
