Chapter 397 The Right to Survival is Above Sovereignty
overflow?

Not only are the phenomena the same, but even the names that humans have given to these phenomena are exactly the same!

And this is exactly what Lin Xu needs.

He said impatiently:

"The most important question I asked you about today is this."

"Please elaborate on the issue of higher-dimensional overflow!"

Upon hearing Lin Xu's words, Jiang Xingye immediately nodded.

Then she began to speak:
"Then let's take a look at their history first."

"I think this should give you a deeper understanding of this technology."

"no problem."

Upon receiving Lin Xu's response, Jiang Xingye gently waved his hand.

Wherever Lin Xu's gaze fell, a few simple lines of text immediately appeared.

Unlike the previous "real-life footage," this time, the long history of this civilization was completely summarized in just a few extremely simple sentences.

“We listened to the oracle and began to pay attention to the falling stones.”

"The stars were pulled toward us by the force of the fall; the Earth is round."

"Particles rotate like stars, but to interfere with the gravitational pull between tiny particles requires the immense power to shake the stars."

"We have discovered a higher-dimensional channel, and the higher-dimensional overflow has divided our world."

"The overflow spans different dimensions and also cuts out the boundaries."

"We are no longer able to achieve dimensional ascension; we are always one step too late."

"However, the boundary of the overflow cut will provide an important reference for the study of other civilizations in the direction of high-dimensional adaptability."

"We've sent out a message in a bottle of civilization, hoping you'll see it."

"Remember, this message comes from an ordinary human civilization. The fallen stone is a unique symbol of our civilization."

After reading the message in the bottle, Lin Xu remained silent for a few seconds.

Clearly, just as I had hoped, the humans in this world were not single-mindedly pursuing the ultimate goal of "dimensional ascension."

They were "misled"; they focused too much attention on the issue of "gravity."

This path choice consumed a lot of resources and opportunity costs, ultimately causing them to hit a wall that was completely indestructible when it came to the issue of dimensional ascension.

not enough time.

Their technology is the most profound, and their foundation the most solid.

Unfortunately, no matter how advanced the technology or how solid the foundation, if the final transformation cannot be completed within a limited time, it is nothing more than a useless foundation.

Fortunately, the foundation they laid will not be completely wasted.

"Continue to look at the technology they left behind."

"no problem."

Jiang Xingye waved again, and the same few short lines of text appeared in front of Lin Xu.

Gravitational control, particle recombination, and the finite unification of the four fundamental forces
This world has gone further than any other world in terms of microscopic particles and classical physics.

Similarly, when it comes to high-dimensional technology problems, their research is far more in-depth than any world that Lin Xu has ever seen.

The core point is that they proposed the "high-dimensional overflow" effect on the "boundary" cutting and isolation.

"High-dimensional overflows do not only exist in the three-dimensional world; they span at least two dimensions, like a city wall that blocks the connection between different blocks at the boundary."

"When completely blocked by the overflow, the independent boundaries re-form a self-consistent relationship, projecting a completely different image onto the lower-dimensional world with a smaller-scale mapping."

"Smaller mappings result in lower analytical costs. If a civilization has enough time to create enough small blocks, it is very likely that they will be able to unravel the true secrets of high-dimensional adaptability."

"However, it should be noted that high-dimensional overflows have self-expanding properties."

"Its expansion has no end. It is the only way for mankind to reach higher dimensions, but it is also a ticking time bomb that could destroy mankind at any time."

"There exists a fulcrum of balance between destruction and survival. According to our estimation, the three-dimensional time attribute of this balance point is approximately..."

"15."

15 years.

Lin Xu frowned.

This timing is quite delicate.

In the world of Destinystone, the first higher-dimensional overflow occurred nearly 18 years before the end of the world.

In other words, humanity in the world of Destiny Stone broke the so-called "balance fulcrum" and brought forward the time of the outbreak by three years.

Therefore, humans in the three-dimensional world either need to complete their dimensional ascension three years in advance, or they will have no choice but to face death.

The situation is not optimistic.

Even more pessimistically, even humans, who have such a thorough understanding of higher-dimensional overflows, have not been able to find a real way to contain them.

The race among civilizations began the moment the higher-dimensional overflow appeared.

Moreover, the pressure it brings to humanity is even greater than the apocalypse itself.

Because it is uncontrollable, unpredictable, and subject to change at any time.
Lin Xu was still unwilling to give up, and he continued to ask Jiang Xingye:
"Has this civilization really not proposed any possible way to control the overflow of higher dimensions?"

"No."

Jiang Xingye shook his head.

"The problem of higher-dimensional overflow can only be solved from the higher dimensions, but even I am helpless about it."

“I could try to deflect its position, or even slow down its spread, but that would be pointless for you.”

"Because it exists in four-dimensional space, or even higher dimensions."

"Its spread cannot be predicted using the patterns we already know."

"That's it."

Lin Xu shrugged.

"There is no hope left."

"We had hoped that we could find a way to contain the spillover by entering the higher-dimensional world ahead of time."

"But now it seems that this was just wishful thinking?"

"maybe."

Jiang Xingye shook his head and replied:

"At least, you will have a chance after entering higher dimensions."

"But in a lower-dimensional world, your struggle against the overflow could become a continuous, incremental tactic."

“A lot of resources will be consumed, a lot of opportunity costs will be occupied, and the development speed of your world may be slowed down a lot.”

"will not."

At this point, Lin Xu suddenly understood.

Limiting the spillover of higher dimensions does not, in itself, affect the development of the world.

Because the construction of limiter arrays is intended to create stable high-dimensional overflows, and is originally intended to divide them into independent "blocks".

The world in the religious era did not fully understand the most fundamental principles of this technology. On the contrary, it was a civilization that failed to truly enter the higher-dimensional world that comprehended this crucial link.

"All right."

Lin Xu breathed a long sigh of relief.

Then he began to speak:
"I have gotten everything I wanted."

"Let's move on to the next step—have you found the person I asked you to find?"

"not yet."

Jiang Xingye shook his head and replied:

“He may have received my broadcast, but it takes a long time from receiving the message to establishing contact.”

"Next time, or maybe the time after that, when you come back to my world, you will be able to see him."

"Of course, if the situation is urgent, you can..." "No rush for now."

Lin Xu interrupted Jiang Xingye and then said:
“We already have an alternative, and theoretically, the alternative is also feasible.”

"But in the end, we still have to find him."

"I need you to continue doing this."

"Now, we need to discuss the next spell."

"This time, I hope to obtain information about higher-dimensional overflows directly."

"I want that world to focus all its energy and resources on research into 'higher-dimensional overflow'."

"This will provide us with valuable experience."

"can."

Jiang Xingye nodded immediately, but then frowned and said:
"If we want to cast a spell on the higher-dimensional overflow, we must consider the issues of the 'slider' we raised earlier."

"But there is a contradiction here."

"If we clearly describe the specifics of the problem of higher-dimensional overflow, when humans discover the phenomenon of higher-dimensional overflow, we can also understand the contradiction between higher-dimensional overflow and dimensional ascension."

"They may not actually cultivate this field as required by the spell, because that would mean they would have to give up their hopes of dimensional ascension and selflessly support another civilization."

"We are very likely not to get the information we want."

"However, if we do not explain the 'principles' clearly, we are very likely to slow down the research progress in this field, and the final result will not be much different from the result of the 'message in a bottle world'."

"This is a paradox."

Lin Xu paused slightly, then said:
"I just experienced a similar paradox in the previous 'Alliance Era' world."

"At that time, the people of that world made a selfless choice."

"I think if it were a new world, they might make the same choice."

Even if it's just one of ten thousand worlds, that's enough for us.

"really."

Jiang Xingye immediately understood Lin Xu's meaning.

The incantation was never intended for a single world.

It is enough if, in countless worlds, one variable appears that "violates the instinct for survival."

Thinking of this, she asked:
"So what about the incantation? How exactly should it be designed?"

Lin Xu thought for a moment, then replied:

"The high-dimensional overflow generated by the high-dimensional channel has cut the boundary. You need to stand on the shoulders of your predecessors to continue to decipher the secrets of the overflow."

"that's it."

Jiang Xingye's eyes showed a slight hesitation.

"Information entropy has exceeded the limit, but..."

"You can try it."

"Then give it a try."

At this point, Lin Xu had already spent half the time here.

After determining the incantation, he did not leave immediately, but used the remaining time to continue acquiring a large amount of technical information needed by the Destiny Stone world.

Only at the very last moment did he allow his consciousness to dissipate, falling back into his own world.

Upon opening his eyes again, Lin Xu first completed all the technical information as usual.

This took him almost an hour. After uploading the technical information, he pushed open the door of the lounge and walked straight to Jiang Xingye, who was waiting for him in the office and was already a little drowsy.

"How about it?"

Jiang Xingye jumped to his feet, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Lin Xu slowly shook his head.

"Of the known information, there is no way to prevent the spread of high-dimensional overflows."

“Building a limiter array is the only way to ‘guide’ the spillover to spread in certain specific directions.”

"So, we have no other choice."

"We must relocate the limiter array project, originally planned to be located in Lop Nur, to Nevada in the shortest possible time."

"This is our only chance."

"We are still 3 years away from the equilibrium point."

"In addition to accelerating the dimensional ascension process, we must also control the rate of high-dimensional overflow diffusion as much as possible."

Lin Xu gave Jiang Xingye a general description of the information provided by the "Drift Bottle World." After listening, Jiang Xingye's expression immediately turned into deep worry.

"We are likely to lose the initiative as a result."

She spoke:
"Limiter array technology is an irreplaceable authority in the context of high-dimensional technology, and we..."

"We don't need to worry about that."

Lin Xu raised his hand to interrupt Jiang Xingye, and then said:
"The military will find a way to solve this problem."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xingye's eyes lit up.

That's right.

When the technological and political game reaches a stalemate.
Perhaps, a purer approach will yield a purer result.
Nevada.

When the massive formation of heavy transport planes landed on the military airport runway and opened their doors with incredible efficiency to unload their equipment, Andy, standing next to Zhang Liming, completely changed his expression.

the reason is simple.

What he saw was not the large amount of engineering equipment, researchers, and precision instrument components he had expected.

Instead, it was tanks, armored vehicles, and mech warriors wearing flexible exoskeletons and carrying multiple weapon racks—things he had never seen before, seemingly far beyond the technological limits of this era.

His whole body trembled with fear. Turning to Zhang Liming, he stammered:
"This is war!"

"None of your armies have ever set foot on our land!"

"You...you can't do this!"

"You have broken the agreement! You...you are destroying the alliance!"

"wrong."

Zhang Liming waved his hand and then said:
"On the contrary, we are maintaining the stability of the alliance."

"Without these things, how can we ensure the smooth construction of the limiter array?"

"You don't really think we'll hand over the initiative to you just because of these little tricks of yours, do you?"

"Isn't this idea a bit too naive?"

Andy was speechless. After stammering for a long time, he spoke again:
"This is a blatant trampling on sovereignty!"

"You ignored us."

"Stop talking nonsense."

Zhang Liming interrupted Andy and then said:
"Trampling on sovereignty?"

"Didn't you always say that human rights are above sovereignty?"

"Don't you know how much of a threat an unauthorized high-dimensional experiment poses to human survival?"

“This is no longer just about ‘human rights above sovereignty’; what we are defending is the right to survival of all human civilization.”

So stop making a scene here.

“Your decision-makers know what’s inside these planes—they knew the moment they took off.”

"But they had no choice."

"Because they must."

"Take responsibility for your mistakes!"
