Did the world end today?

Chapter 390 Water Pilot

"I'll try."

Jiang Xingye replied:

"However, I cannot guarantee you a success rate."

"This space is simply too vast. There are too many information barriers and information turbulence between our world and other worlds."

"He might wander into our world, in a universe where there is no concept of time, perhaps in the next second."

"But when this coordinate is projected onto your world, it could be millions of years from now."

"It's ok."

Lin Xu gently shook his head and said:
"It probably won't take that long."

"If he can receive broadcasts from your world, then it's very likely that he will take the initiative to contact you."

All you need to do is 'identify' him.

"clear."

Jiang Xingye stood up, and the scene of the grassland in front of him gradually faded away.

Instead, there was a space that was almost entirely white.

The space gradually dimmed, and the starlight gradually brightened. Then, Jiang Xingye spoke:
"Before we move on to the next spell, I must explain something to you."

"Our world is about to reach its limit."

"limit?"

Lin Xu asked in astonishment:

"What do you mean?"

"It's very simple."

The screen flickered, and Jiang Xingye pointed to the "extinguished" stars, continuing to explain:

"Each star here represents an information node."

"But now, these information nodes are going out."

"I originally thought that as the integrity of civilization improved, I could slow down the rate at which information nodes went out."

"But in fact, the situation is quite the opposite."

"The higher the level of civilizational integrity, the stronger the information interference I need to counter."

"The stronger the interference, the faster the information node will be extinguished."

"Now, the creation and destruction of information nodes have reached a balance."

"This means that the spell we are about to cast will likely be the last one."

"After that, even if we continued to broadcast the spell throughout the higher dimensions, we would no longer be able to receive any effective feedback."

Is it impossible to receive any more effective feedback?
This means that exploring the path to "dimensional ascension" through this civilization has led to a dead end.
-
Actually, this wasn't too surprising to Lin Xu.

After all, if this world has already achieved dimensional ascension, if this world has already become a true high-dimensional civilization, then the so-called Destiny Stone world, and even this butterfly itself, naturally lose their meaning.

But the butterfly is still there, and the world of Destiny Stones is still there, which foreshadows the ending of the "Age of Leap Forward" world in another way.

Thinking of this, Lin Xu nodded slightly, and then said:

"This was within my expectations."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xingye nodded with a slight chuckle.

"Indeed, this was certainly within your expectations."

"But I'm more concerned about something else."

Before Jiang Xingye could finish speaking, Lin Xu interrupted him, saying:
How long can this world you live in survive?

"What I mean is, when I enter this world again, will I be able to see you again?"

"Next time, I definitely will."

Jiang Xingye answered solemnly:

"After all, the world is still quite stable."

"If there are no further disturbances, it is very likely that it will exist forever until it is completely destroyed in a multidimensional tsunami."

"Even if we continue to expand the world's territory and continue to improve the integrity of civilization, we will not so easily break the balance of this world."

"So, you don't need to worry about its continued existence for the time being."

"If I foresee any danger, I will notify you immediately."

“I won’t wait until you enter this world—I will send the message directly to your world using the method we’ve mentioned before.”

"clear."

Lin Xu let out a long breath.

Therefore, every subsequent incantation becomes crucial.

Furthermore, the purpose of spells is no longer merely to enhance the integrity of civilization.

Its more important function has been transformed into a kind of trial and error with an "exploratory" attribute.

When the history of change in each different world is presented to you, the new technologies developed and the new experiences gained in those worlds will also be presented to you.

This characteristic also changed the direction I needed to consider when creating spells.

Ascending to a higher dimension is no longer the only goal, nor the only answer.

If "upgrading" itself is about pursuing the depth of civilization.

Now, for him, the more important thing is to "expand the breadth of civilization".

After a moment's thought, Lin Xu spoke:
"We need to guide those uncivilized civilizations to explore different directions."

"So, this spell needs to be as vague as possible?"

"Yes."

Jiang Xingye immediately understood what Lin Xu meant.

The so-called "vagueness" does not mean that this incantation is "incomprehensible" or unfathomable.

To be precise, it should have extremely high interpretability.

This incantation should have different meanings when interpreted from different perspectives.

However, at the same time, it must be easy to understand.
So, what is the "spell" that offers the most choices?
This problem is more like finding a common denominator among different technological approaches.

In physics, the greatest common divisor seems to be...
gravitational.

Lin Xu began to speak:
"The force that makes the stone fall will bring you everything."

"This is the next spell."

"It can point in many directions—both classical mechanics and quantum mechanics will take this as a starting point."

"can!"

Jiang Xingye nodded immediately.

She fully understands the importance of gravity in the edifice of physics—and she can also see that almost all worlds that have completed dimensional ascension have chosen roughly the same direction in their utilization of gravity.

This is largely due to the “restrictive guidance” of the spells cast upon them.

What if we could completely remove the restrictions on boots?
Perhaps, we will get a completely different result.

“I will cast this spell.”

"The next time we go in, we may see many different worlds."

"it is good."

Lin Xu's mind raced as the countdown timer flashed before his eyes.

An hour has passed since he arrived, and now it's time to leave.

He reviewed the technical information Jiang Xingye had transmitted to him again, memorizing it thoroughly.

Soon, his consciousness began to blur.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back in his room.
After one hour.

Lin Xu finished organizing all the technical documents and, without hesitation, immediately convened a small discussion meeting.

The most important person involved in the meeting was Julius, who had taken charge of Ayana's decryption work from scratch.

Apart from him, the attendees were mainly top scholars in the fields of neurology and biophysics.

They were suddenly brought online and had no idea what this unannounced meeting was going to discuss.

But when Lin Xu uttered his first words, everyone instinctively froze in place.

"We need to build a quantum-level brain-computer interface." Lin Xu paused, then continued:

"To be precise, what we need to manufacture is a high-precision device that can record and export all information about human brain activity."

"As per the design requirements, we used this device to continuously send entangled quantum pairs to Qin Shizhong's brain. By observing the influence of quantum activity in the human brain on the entangled quantum pairs, we recorded the process of human brain activity in reverse."

"After exporting this information, we will generate a 'mirror personality' in a high-performance quantum computer."

"Then, we will compile this mirror personality into a quantum pair that can be sent and send it into a higher-dimensional channel."

"Finally, Ayana will enter a higher-dimensional portal to attempt to capture this personality."

"and many more!"

Lin Xu was halfway through his sentence when Julius suddenly raised his hand.

His eyes were filled with horror.

"So, this is actually the most crucial technology in the Memory Goddess Project??"

"Is this how Ayana's personalities came about?"

"Not entirely."

Lin Xu shook his head and replied:
"At the time, Zhou Yue obviously wanted to create his so-called 'Membrane Goddess' in this way, but obviously, he failed."

"The technology he possesses is simply incapable of creating a true quantum-level brain-computer interface. The personality he extracts is either based on 'individuals who accidentally entered a higher-dimensional channel' or on some incomplete and imprecise recording method."

"That's why various problems arose in the Memory Goddess Project."

"It is very likely that the large amount of memory loss we have observed is not entirely the result of 'encryption'."

"That's possible, and that's one of the flaws in his technique."

".Understood."

Julius let out a heavy sigh.

Is it just one of the technical flaws?

Yes, that's certainly possible.

Perhaps it is because of the "imperfection in personality extraction" that he needs the goddess of memory to preserve the memories of these people.

Even until the very end, he never found a way to recover his memories.

As a result, the entire Mnemosyne project presents an extremely distorted and incomplete form.
But here is the problem.

Can the Destiny Stones world, which has only been developing for two years, really do what he couldn't?
Julius looked at Lin Xu, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Lin Xu, without hesitation, replied:

"I know what you want to ask."

"However, I can tell you definitively that what he can't do, we definitely can."

"Because, in essence, this device is a large-scale physical device."

"We have already accumulated enough experience in this area."

Contrary to what most people think, the so-called "brain-computer interface" is not a helmet that is directly attached to the head.

It is enormous, complex, and energy-intensive.

Rather than a brain-computer interface, it is more like a "special accelerator".

In this respect, the people of the world of Destinystone have accumulated a wealth of construction experience.

Upon hearing Lin Xu's words, Julius had no further questions.

"When does it begin?"

He asked impatiently.

For him, even disregarding so-called 'technological advancements,' the sooner he could unravel Ayana's secret, the sooner he could give himself and his former friend an explanation.

"immediately."

Lin Xu replied:
"We are pressed for time; this project must start immediately."

"Today's meeting is just a notification; the specific project approval work will be led by Julius."

"You can seek assistance from the coordination team to mobilize the resources you need."

"And my requirement is very simple - complete the scan of Qin Shizhong in the shortest possible time."

"I hope that by tomorrow morning I will see a clear timetable."

"no problem!"

Julius replied:
"I'll get ready right away."

"Can we adjourn the meeting now?"

"Meeting dismissed."

Lin Xu gave a brief order.

One by one, the other scholars, still confused, logged off, ending the meeting.

But in reality, for them, this night's work had only just begun.

Tonight, many more people will lose their right to sleep.

Fortunately, they were already used to this kind of work rhythm.
After hanging up the meeting, Lin Xu leaned back in his chair and looked up at the ceiling.

Just then, Jiang Xingye, who had heard the commotion, peeked in through the door.

"solved?"

She asked:
"Is it difficult?"

Lin Xu shook his head and replied:

"It's not technically difficult."

"Especially in terms of equipment, there aren't many technologies that surpass our current level of development."

"In fact, it could be said that the engineering difficulty is not great."

"The biggest problem now"

"The problem lies with He Qijun, on the contrary."

Lin Xu briefly explained the concept of "water pilot" to Jiang Xingye, and after listening, Jiang Xingye's brows furrowed instantly.

"In other words, if we can't find He Qijun, it's impossible to complete this personality replication?"

"That's not necessarily the case."
