Did the world end today?

Chapter 57 Mirror Space?

after an hour.

At the entrance of the National Security Bureau.

Lin Xu looked at the endless stream of vehicles on the street with a slightly bewildered expression, his eyes filled with disbelief.

His mind was still replaying what Xu Qianlin had just said to him.

"Actually, we, especially I, don't care where the technology you have comes from."

"Everyone has their own secrets. As long as what you do is beneficial to the country and the people, we can often choose not to investigate it."

"Of course, that's a bit too 'official' to say."

"But that's just how it is."

“I know you don’t trust us yet, but we are willing to give you time and provide you with some assistance to a certain extent.”

"I hope you don't overthink it and just continue doing what you're supposed to do."

"Also, don't worry too much about our comrades 'monitoring' you."

"More often than not, it's just a form of protection."

Protect?

maybe.

At least, judging from the current situation, the surveillance by the National Security Bureau has not affected my normal life.

They didn't even know they existed.

Lin Xu sighed softly, then remembered Xu Qianlin's mention of the "doomsday".

"We have indeed observed some unusual celestial phenomena, and this is not the first or second time such phenomena have occurred."

"From the perspective of our current level of technology and science, such unusual celestial phenomena are difficult to explain."

"Inevitably, some comrades within our ranks have also developed pessimistic views."

"For example, like you said, is the end of the world coming?"

"But in my opinion, it may not be that serious."

"When ancient people saw a solar eclipse, they thought the end of the world was coming."

"When Wheeler determined the observer effect in the delayed-choice experiment, he also thought that the edifice of physics was about to collapse."

"But what now?"

"We are still alive and well, and the edifice of quantum physics is constantly being built."

"The sky won't fall down."

"We should be prepared for the worst, but we should not wallow in self-pity."

So, no matter where you come from or what your plans are.

"I hope you can have confidence in the future."

"I won't say anything more or ask any more questions."

"Shall we give each other some time?"

"I can hold on for a while longer. You can come find me anytime you think things through."

"I will push for it as soon as possible and try to get you higher privileges."

"At that time, we can talk about the 'doomsday' you mentioned, and about the clues we both have."

"Perhaps after we talk, you'll find that things aren't as serious as they seem?"

In the end, Xu Qianlin never questioned where his technology came from, nor did he question where he got his judgment about the "doomsday".

He was incredibly forgiving of himself.

He even implied that the authorities would use the information they already possessed to "exchange" with him, rather than forcibly seizing the information he had when he did not have the authority to access it.

Holy crap, if every official staff member is like him, then cooperating with the official team wouldn't be such a big problem, right?
-
The problem is that not all officials are like him.

As a senior scientific researcher, Xu Qianlin has a far greater sense of awe for knowledge and the unknown than others.

That's precisely why he gave himself a chance.

But what if one day he's gone, or I can no longer receive his protection?

Then one's own situation will be unpredictable.

Therefore, you still need to have enough leverage in your own hands.

One skill is not enough; what I need is more skills and more information that transcends this era!
As long as you have enough chips, you are the one in control.

No rational group would be foolish enough to try to interfere with the actions of the "leader"!
The heart of Tao is clear.

Lin Xu glanced back at the direction of the National Security Bureau, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

Perhaps one day, as long as I do well enough...

Then it's not that they asked me to come here, but that I asked them to come.

At this moment, the car arranged by Xu Qianlin arrived.

Lin Xu got into the car, and the driver, dressed in a Zhongshan suit, drove him all the way to the entrance of Tianqiong Technology. After parking the car, the driver very politely tried to open the car door for him.

However, Lin Xu was completely unaware of this procedure. By the time the other person got out of the car, he had already rudely pushed the door open and stepped out. The driver nearly tripped over him. The two exchanged a slightly awkward glance, nodded to each other, and went their separate ways.

Lin Xu went straight to the office building, but when he returned to his office, he found that someone was already there.

It was Ren Jian and Chu Xu.

"Boss? Engineer Chu?"

Lin Xu asked in confusion:
"Is there something you need?"

"it's okay no problem!"

Ren Jian waved his hand.

"I originally wanted to talk to you about the follow-up progress of the Donghua Chemical Fiber Plant project, mainly because there are some differences in qualifications and procedures."

"I heard from Jiang that you went out, so I'll wait here for a while."

"But it's all right now. I just got a call and the problem is solved."

"solved?"

Lin Xu repeated it subconsciously.

He said it casually, but to Ren Jian, it sounded like a "confirmation inquiry".

After all, he had just seen Lin Xu get out of a car with an unlicensed license plate.

Ren Jian knew all too well what the driver in the Zhongshan suit represented.
So he quickly replied:
"Yes, it's been resolved."

"They handled it very well over there; the paperwork should be ready the day after tomorrow."

"By then, the equipment will be installed and the trial production can begin."

"so."

Lin Xu nodded thoughtfully.

He hadn't really considered the issues of qualifications and procedures before, or rather, he originally thought that even if there were such jobs, Ren Jian should be able to handle them on his own.

However, it seems that things are not so simple now.

Fortunately, it was eventually resolved.

It's either related to Xu Jin or Xu Qianlin.

Essentially they are all the same.

It seems that Xu Qianlin is trying to win me over in advance.

I really need to think carefully about how to proceed with our cooperation in the future.

Thinking of this, Lin Xu coughed and said:

"It's good that the problem is solved—boss, is there anything else?"

"Yes, that's all."

Ren Jian stood up and said:

"Anyway, if you need anything, just let me know. We don't have much ability to solve big problems."

"However, we can still handle the logistics work well."
