Did the world end today?

Chapter 145 The Universe with Uneven Rules
The first thing Lin Xu did after opening his eyes in bed was to go to his desk and write down everything he had seen and heard in the bracelet world.

But in reality, his attention was constantly scattered throughout the world inside the bracelet.

Even if he is indeed quick-witted and has a new method, he can only squeeze in a few lines of text or a few data points in the gaps between actions.

In addition, due to the immense shock after "traversing the higher-dimensional passage," he didn't actually remember much.

But it's better than nothing.

After spending some time memorizing all the technical documents, Lin Xu wrote down the clues he had just obtained in his notebook.

After traversing the higher-dimensional passage, Zhuque-1 entered a completely unknown universe, possibly even beyond the observable universe.

After the time travel, most of the spaceship's functions were working normally, but the nuclear fuel exploded.

[The Skyfire Project's observation matrix indicates that gravitational fluctuations occurred in the initial region before the apocalypse, and provides the assessment that 'this is a wormhole'.]

High-dimensional channels are likely related to quantum spacetime foam.

After writing down all the clues, Lin Xu's already furrowed brows furrowed even more tightly.

Of Jiang Xingye's three action plans, at least two have made initial progress.

However, this progress is far too preliminary.

The escape was successful, but it was blown up again soon after.

The monitoring was successful, but it only conveyed a very limited amount of information in one sentence.

The mystery has not only failed to be solved, but has become even more perplexing.
He raised his hand and glanced at the bracelet, which still displayed a flashing "2".

He can enter the bracelet world one more time.

But this time, he doesn't plan to restart the "disaster monitoring program".

the reason is simple.

If Zhuque-1 can penetrate the high-dimensional channel to reach "another universe" within a limited time, then all spacecraft in Mars orbit can do the same.

The explosion of Zhuque-1 may have been due to a problem with its detonation engine during its journey through a higher-dimensional passage.

What if I fly all the aircraft there?

Surely not a single one will survive?
That's right, I should have boarded the landing ship the moment I started my escape.

Once inside that "new universe," they immediately escaped.

In this way, it's possible that I'm in that universe.
Survived?

No matter how long you live, as long as you're alive, you have information!
Lin Xu made a quick decision, got up, grabbed a can of coconut water from the refrigerator, drank it all in one go, and then lay back down on the bed.

The Great Escape begins!
He gently touched the bracelet, and the next moment, his consciousness was once again drained.
Good morning, Comrade Lin Xu.

Zhiyun's voice rang out above his head, but Lin Xu couldn't be bothered to respond.

He ran to the bridge command room, identified himself, and activated the butterfly contingency plan.

Lin Xu completed all the preliminary steps in less than 3 minutes.

Immediately afterwards, he issued the same command to the two people in the bridge command room—or more precisely, to all the spacecraft in Mars orbit.

"Turn around and fly to the coordinates indicated by the star!"

He entered the coordinates of the last time he entered the high-dimensional channel into the command system, and these coordinates were quickly transmitted to all the crew members.

Bai Mo stared at him in disbelief and asked:
What are you trying to do??

Lin Xu replied in a deep voice:
"The Great Escape".

"It's part of the plan."

"In 31 minutes, a high-dimensional passage will appear on the line connecting Mercury and Earth—which is the location I am marking now."

"Through this high-dimensional passage, we can reach a completely new region of the universe."

"I'm not sure exactly where that region of the universe is, but I'm certain that it's a place where you can escape the apocalyptic catastrophe."

"Or rather, that place is not within the direct impact range of the apocalyptic disaster."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Mo's brows furrowed instantly.

"Surviving the apocalypse, then what?"

"The supplies we carried were insufficient to restart human civilization in a new region."

"That's not important!"

Lin Xu interrupted Bai Mo and continued:

"The mission of this world is to explore a possibility."

"We don't need to survive, we just need to prove it works!"

"Let's get ready now."

"We need to board the landing craft and disembark immediately upon reaching another area!"

"why?"

Bai Mo asked another question, but at the same time he quickly led Lin Xu away from the bridge command room and headed towards the connecting level where the landing ship was located.

She does have many questions, and she is even questioning Lin Xu's decision now.

But she has no intention of opposing or obstructing it.

Because once the Butterfly Plan is activated, the butterfly becomes the sole controller.

As the two walked onto the landing ship, Lin Xu casually replied:

"Because once it enters that space, the Vermilion Bird No. 1 will explode immediately."

"I'm certain it's an engine problem, but I don't know exactly how it happened."

"Therefore, leaving is the only option."

"I need to survive first before I can find out what's going on!"

".clear."

Bai Mo stopped questioning, and the two fastened their seatbelts. At that moment, Qi Yuan also boarded the landing ship.

"where are we going?"

Qi Yuan asked:
"Back to Earth?"

"No."

Lin Xu replied:
"We may never be able to return to Earth—we will have to travel through a higher-dimensional portal to a region that is likely located outside the observable universe."

"I'm afraid you won't be coming back, no matter what."

"Should we tell your wife beforehand?"

"There's no need," Qi Yuan replied.
She doesn't need to know.

"But since Suzaku-1 can pass through, it would be great if there were a higher-dimensional channel that could hold the entire Earth."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xu's heart skipped a beat.

Could it contain the entire Earth?
The purpose of the active channel plan is essentially to artificially influence higher-dimensional channels.

So its ultimate goal is actually to create a channel large enough to hold the entire Earth, right?
if it is like this.
This planet might actually travel through a higher-dimensional portal to reach a new universe with a suitable environment and no apocalyptic disaster.
Damn it.

What is this "Wandering Earth" project?

Lin Xu truly felt the madness of Jiang Xingye's plan.

She left herself no way out, nor did she leave humanity any way out!
At this point, Zhuque-1 had begun to accelerate continuously, and 15 minutes had passed.

Looking through the narrow porthole, Lin Xu saw that the spacecraft that were originally parked in Mars orbit were being dispatched with astonishing efficiency.

The nuclear thermal engine spewed out blinding flames, streaking across the dark universe like shooting stars.

The trajectories of these meteors converged in a narrow cone shape, all pointing to the same location.

Lin Xu didn't look at it again; he simply opened the technology panel and continued reading the technical materials about nuclear fusion.

At this moment, Bai Mo spoke up and asked:
"This isn't your first time in this world, is it?"

"This isn't the first time you've activated the butterfly contingency plan."

What did you see last time?

"destroy."

Lin Xu answered without looking up:

"Earth was destroyed by a plasma storm, and all the monitoring matrices near Mars were destroyed by a wormhole."

"Wormhole??"

Bai Mo asked in astonishment:

Does such a thing really exist?

"It may not exist."

Lin Xu gently shook his head and replied:

"That's just a simplified description. In reality, what appeared near Mars and caused the apocalyptic catastrophe was a massive quantum spacetime bubble."

"At least according to existing theories, that's the case."

"We do not have the ability to actively create quantum spacetime bubbles, nor do we have the ability to prevent their formation."

"Therefore, continuing to conduct observations is not very meaningful—it will only be useful once research on quantum spacetime foam in my world has reached a critical stage."

"understood."

Bai Mo nodded and asked no more questions.

Time passed second by second, and Lin Xu had led all the aircraft to the point where the high-dimensional channel had appeared last time.

This time, however, he saw it much more clearly.

Through the "lens effect" of the high-dimensional channel, he saw a strange starry sky.

It is here.

Lin Xu took a deep breath and gave the order:

"Full speed ahead!"

The next second, Zhuque-1 pierced through the high-dimensional channel.

Just a moment later, that unfamiliar starry sky reappeared.

"Break away! Break away!"

"hurry up!"

Lin Xu's tone was urgent, while Bai Mo, who was already prepared, quickly pressed the disconnect button.

A few seconds later, the detonation engine started.

The landing craft moved away from the Vermilion Bird One at an astonishing speed, and as Lin Xu looked out, one spaceship after another was emerging from the void.

Successful.

Not every aircraft made it here successfully.

But in terms of quantity
At least a third have arrived!

Can they survive in this universe?
Lin Xu didn't know.

Behind him, Zhuque-1 remained unharmed.

Lin Xu knew that this was simply because the time hadn't come yet.

He breathed a slight sigh of relief, but the next second...

A small spaceship that had just entered this universe suddenly turned to ashes before his eyes.

Lin Xu was dumbfounded.

Then, a series of disasters struck.

Several spaceships collapsed in an instant, transforming into an incredibly smooth "sphere" that reflected the starry sky.

On the other side, as if torn apart by some force, the unmanned probe scattered into countless fragments.

The fragments streaked across the vast expanse of space, their shapes constantly changing.

Some fragments simply disappeared.

But other fragments, as if flattened, formed broad membranes.

No one survived.

The engine of the Vermilion Bird One exploded precisely on time, and the temperature inside the landing ship where Lin Xu was located continued to rise.

"Stop!"

Lin Xu shouted.

But by then, it was too late.

His body dissipated even faster than his consciousness.

In the last second before his consciousness faded, a thought flashed through Lin Xu's mind.

This is definitely not a safe universe.

This is a piece.
A zone where physical rules are in disarray!
