Did the world end today?

Chapter 135 Battle

Chapter 135 Battle
The next morning, Lin Xu opened his eyes and woke up in bed.

He didn't quite understand what the dream meant.

That seems to be just a reflection of my subconscious.

In the dream, Jiang Xingye seemed to have designed "Number Zero" himself?
What exactly does "correct instruction" mean?
Zero needs to stop Zhiyun.
That means Zhiyun might make a mistake?

Can't figure it out.

We need to collect more information from the bracelet.

Lin Xu subconsciously scratched his head. It was already past 8 a.m., and the alarm clock hadn't gone off, nor had anyone come to wake him.

It was only then that he realized it was the weekend and the work group had not assigned him any work schedule.

Damn it.

Saving the world gets you a weekend, but working for a capitalist doesn't?

What kind of cattle and horses are these!

Once I bring back the mature technology, I'll crush these heartless capitalists sooner or later!
-
However, speaking of "transportation technology," there is something very important to do today.

That is, to find Bai Mo and talk to her about the direction of the "Reverse Flow Plan".

Yesterday in the bracelet world, Lin Xu also obtained a lot of information about the Reverse Current Project from Bai Mo 20 years in the future.

Although the process of setting up the plan was different, the initial development was basically the same.

Just as Lin Xu had imagined, the plan eventually grew to a considerable scale.

However, Bai Mo encountered many pitfalls during this process.

Ultimately, this resulted in the plan remaining only on the surface, failing to achieve the level of "eliminating the waterfall effect" that Lin Xu required.

Otherwise, Zero wouldn't have had the opportunity to seize the opportunity and gather a so-called "error corrector" team.

Thinking of this, Lin Xu picked up his phone and dialed Bai Mo's number.

Jiang Xingye was definitely not up yet, and Lin Xu was too lazy to wake her. He just asked the nutritionist to prepare a simple breakfast. After Bai Mo arrived, the two ate and chatted.

After swallowing a mouthful of steamed bun, Lin Xu didn't get straight to the point, but instead asked tentatively:
"How have you been lately? Are you still feeling lost?"

Bai Mo shook his head and replied:
"It's much better now. I have a goal, so I definitely won't feel lost anymore."

"However, this project is too big, and it's quite difficult to get started."

"I need to first produce a relatively complete outline to determine what needs to be done next."

"Once the outline is basically finalized and the departments to be introduced are determined, implementation can begin."

After he finished speaking, Lin Xu nodded thoughtfully.

Do you have any specific ideas?

He continued, asking:
"For example, how do you plan to bridge the information gap between the upper and lower levels of the waterfall?"

After saying this, Bai Mo subconsciously put down his bowl and chopsticks.

After hesitating for a moment, she answered:

"I think the most important issue is education."

"The reason why the influence of information creates a waterfall effect is essentially due to the differences in endowments among individual humans."

"The simplest description is: the master leads you through the door, but the practice is up to you."

"Even if we distribute information equally to everyone in the world, there will still be natural differences in how well it is received."

"Some people can understand and utilize it better, while others are completely unable to understand it."

"So objectively speaking, at the beginning, everyone was standing on the upper level of the waterfall. It's just that during the process, some people were swept to the lower level of the waterfall and then could never get back up."

really.

Lin Xu sighed.

The Bai Mo of this world and the Bai Mo of that other world made the same mistake.

No, it should be said that the working groups of the two worlds' countercurrent project made the same mistake.

They all believe that information disparities are caused by individual innate abilities, and they are all subconsciously working towards this goal.

But in fact, it makes no sense at all.

Because the so-called "divine message" itself is an attempt to negate the determinism of innate talent.

She was going in the wrong direction, so naturally she didn't achieve the desired effect.

And that world naturally developed into the way it appeared to me.

Thinking of this, Lin Xu spoke up:
"The theory of differences in endowments is wrong, and this has been proven 20 years later."

"In fact, what really causes the information gap between the top and bottom of the waterfall is the failure of the evaluation system and the dysfunction of the task allocation system."

"Let me give you an example."

"Suppose I have obtained information on the composition ratio and manufacturing process of a material, and I now need to find someone to manufacture and bring this material to fruition, who would I look for?"

After a slight hesitation, Bai Mo replied:
"Xu Jin."

"Because this is the most familiar and reliable materials science expert you can access."

"Yes."

Lin Xu put down the steamed bun in his hand, looked directly at Bai Mo, and then asked:

"But is it really appropriate to hand this material over to Xu Jinlai?"

"Do I really have no other choice?"

"No, of course I have it."

"But I don't need to think about it too much, because it doesn't matter to me who I find."

"Instead of spending more time looking for a more suitable person, I'd rather hand this 'task' over to someone I know."

"Because, given complete information, the difference between these two options is not significant."

"On the contrary, the process of 'finding suitable task performers' will consume a lot of resources."

"Here is a very simple formula."

"When the resources required for task allocation are greater than the difference in resource benefits between the optimal and worst solutions, the task allocation system will fail."

"The waterfall will form after a 20-year cycle."

After saying this, Bai Mo fell into a long silence.

She pondered quietly for a long time before finally speaking:
"understood."

Will this world become a world dominated by nepotism?

"But because such nepotism is actually formed from 'divinely bestowed knowledge,' this would create a highly totalitarian world similar to divine authority?"

"Yes."

Lin Xu nodded in satisfaction.

Bai Mo understood the situation even faster than he had expected. "Therefore, the focus of the Reverse Current Project is not universal education, but rather universal assessment and lower-cost screening."

"Of course, this also includes a more stringent system of rules."

"This is really not an easy thing to do - you need to think about it more, and think about it a lot more."

"it is good!"

Bai Mo nodded solemnly, but then frowned and said:

"To achieve such large-scale, refined management, we would probably need very powerful computing power."

"It is simply impossible to do this with existing calculation methods."

"So, in terms of technological nodes, the first thing we need to accomplish is quantum computing?"

Lin Xu was stunned for a moment.

He hadn't thought of that.

However, regardless of the circumstances, quantum computing is a step that must be taken.

So he answered:

"I will handle the technical issues—you just need to design the system."

"Don't worry, you're not fighting alone."

"I will provide you with as many resources as possible."

"Because this plan is also part of saving the world."

Bai Mo took a deep breath.

"understand!"

Lin Xu's conversation with Bai Mo made him realize that he could bring back more than just technology from that world.

The trajectory of social development, major milestones, key events, and key trends are also important information.

Can you say these things aren't important?
Obviously not!
Killer Bee didn't possess any technological advantages; he merely relied on his knowledge of these things to package himself as a "charlatan" and even rose to the position of leader of the Western Alliance.

This is enough to prove the destructive power of this type of "social information".

We must make use of it!

If you don't use this thing, the enemy will. What, are you going to wait until you get hurt before crying and begging for help?
Forget it.

After seeing Bai Mo off, Lin Xu silently added a new plan to his notebook.

It was already 10 a.m., and Jiang Xingye still hadn't gotten up or replied to the message.

It's a long weekend!

Lin Xu planned to rush over and pull her up.

But at that moment, Qin Feng suddenly knocked on the door and came in.

His expression was serious.

You could even say it was gloomy.

Upon seeing Lin Xu, he immediately stepped forward.

Then he began to speak:
"There's something going on with Zhou Yue."

"He gave us a prophecy."

Lin Xu was startled.

Judging from Qin Feng's expression, this prophecy is definitely not a trivial matter.

To make him look at me with that expression
What do you mean?
Is the end of the world coming sooner than expected?

"What prophecy?"

Lin Xu spoke immediately, and Qin Feng replied:

"World War".

"He gave us a prophecy about a world war."

World War?!?

Lin Xuren was completely dumbfounded.

Are you kidding me? ?

What world war?

Is there still any fertile ground for a world war in this world today?
Everyone was just talking, but the small country was fighting recklessly, engaging in beyond-visual-range air combat, drone suppression, and ballistic missile decapitation strikes.

But a major power?
Let alone the major powers, in reality, if any one of them is involved, it will either be a proxy war in which the other side stands by, or a tacit war of cold weapons.

Who's really going to fight?
You can brag at the UN General Assembly, but my Dead Hand system is no joke!

Thinking of this, Lin Xu quickly asked:
"What's the specific situation?"

"He didn't want to talk to us much."

Qin Feng replied:
"He wants to talk to you."

He said that the future is not a panacea, and if the world's problems are not solved, there is no need for humanity to care about the end of the world.

"Mr. Lin, I need you to talk to him. We need to verify the authenticity of this information!"

"clear."

Lin Xu nodded decisively.

Without the slightest hesitation, the two got into the car and headed straight for the interrogation room.

Upon entering the interrogation room, before Lin Xu could even speak, Zhou Yue, sitting opposite him, spoke first.

"You're in good shape."

His expression carried a hint of mockery.

"Have you adapted to the new world yet?"

"No nonsense."

Lin Xu looked directly at Zhou Yue and said bluntly:

"Tell me about the World Wars."

"no problem."
