Did the world end today?

Chapter 386 Critical Point

After explaining the mission to Ayana, the series of events triggered by Qin Shizhong finally came to a temporary end.

His appearance was completely unexpected by everyone, and even caused a lot of unnecessary trouble.

However, such an interlude does not seem to be entirely meaningless.

At the very least, he drew the world's attention to "boundaries" and gave the coordination group a clear direction for its subsequent research on high-dimensional adaptability.

After leaving the activity room, Lin Xu ate a quick meal and then returned to his residence with Jiang Xingye.

It was already 10 p.m., and the intense work of the day had even made Lin Xu feel a little dizzy.

Even so, he did not rest immediately.

He turned on his computer and found that the latest technology development report had been sent to his secure email address.

As he went through each item, he realized that while he was focused on solving the problem of "boundaries," many things in other areas that he had not paid attention to were undergoing tremendous changes, like a "leap forward."

"The power grid equipment has been switched over. This was already known."

Lin Xu's finger slid across the screen.

"Infrastructure support expedition team sets off? Who came up with this headline?"

He clicked on the link, and a news video instantly appeared before his eyes.

In the video, a long line of heavy equipment is being loaded onto the ship, while workers in neat uniforms stand in a queue on one side, each wearing an industrial-grade exoskeleton.

The entire scene is like science fiction. Although it is an "infrastructure support team," or to put it bluntly, it is essentially an "overseas labor dispatch." However, with the support of various new equipment, the so-called "departure" scene is as spectacular as an expedition to the Milky Way.

The only drawback is that the boat can't fly.

However, it's not far off that the ship will actually take off.

Because the next video is about "the experimental progress of gravitational interference based on CKC fusion technology".

Similarly, upon opening the screen, in the laboratory of the Negative Energy Fusion Research Center on Science Island, a small doll is floating in the air.

The experimenter gently flicked the doll with his finger, and it floated slightly before suspending itself stably in almost the same position.

This "levitation" appears to be very similar to the pinning phenomenon in superconductors, where the conductor rejects the conductor and the conductor stays.

But in reality, the principle behind this thing has absolutely nothing to do with superconducting levitation.

Superconducting levitation relies on magnetic wires passing through a superconductor to achieve levitation, while antigravity technology relies on the gravitational interference effect generated by quantum foam to dissolve gravity in a specific region and anchor the object within that region.

It is precisely because of this principle that antigravity levitation does not have any requirements for materials.

It's not just a lightweight doll; even if you replaced the levitation element with the heaviest gold, the effect would be exactly the same.

After turning off the video, Lin Xu clicked his tongue in amazement and said:

"Reports these days are getting more and more like science fiction."

“If I hadn’t been so deeply involved in these projects, I might have thought this was CG footage from some movie.”

"So, when will anti-gravity technology be widely deployed?"

Upon hearing his question, Jiang Xingye, who was standing to the side, replied:

"Currently, the laboratory-level gravity interference region can only be achieved at an extremely small point."

According to the description, it's about the size of a grain of rice?

"So what you're seeing as the pinning effect is indeed the pinning effect; the stuffing inside the doll is suspended, which then lifts the doll up."

"Didn't you notice that this doll's limbs are all dangling down?"

"what?"

Lin Xu quickly reopened the video, and only then did he realize that the entire floating doll did indeed present a slightly incongruous posture.

That's it
Jiang Xingye did say last time that the development of Akubieri technology is faster than that of anti-gravity technology. When I saw the video just now, I thought that we had caught up in this direction.

Unexpectedly, this was just an "illusion".

If that's the case, then anti-gravity technology isn't that significant.

After all, even if the miniaturization problem of the anti-gravity engine could be solved now, achieving large-scale transportation with only "point support" would still pose a severe challenge to the strength of the materials. Thinking of this, Lin Xu shook his head with slight disappointment.

As he continued scrolling down, the next development he saw focused on the field of materials.

In a very short period of time, a large number of new materials emerged like an explosion, even sparking a trend of "workshop-style research" within the industry.

By spending a relatively small amount of money to rent the time of the Akubier computing equipment, one can output process formulas for several or even dozens of different materials in a very short time.

All the processing and manufacturing companies need to do is produce the materials according to the formula.

The patent barriers in the materials industry were destroyed in an instant, and the market was hit hard.

Fortunately, countless new technologies have raised the walls of the economy, and after the initial turmoil, the market has begun to spontaneously rebalance.
Lin Xu spent half an hour browsing through the entire report and, in accordance with the review requirements, marked his own comments on the document.

After closing his laptop, he leaned back on the sofa, looking slightly tired.

Jiang Xingye, who was standing nearby, quickly moved closer.

"finish watching?"

"finish watching."

Lin Xu nodded slightly, and Jiang Xingye continued to ask:

"What do you think?"

"what?"

This question left Lin Xu completely stunned.

"What do you mean? Are you going to test my understanding after watching it?"

"What's the plot today? Teacher play?"

"Teacher my foot!"

Jiang Xingye rolled his eyes and then said:
