I handed over to another world

Chen Lin sat on the return shuttle, looking through the porthole at Ding Yixin who was gradually moving away.

The ice-covered planet flickered a faint blue light under the light of the stars, like an icy gem inlaid in the universe. This planet was still an unnamed planet a few days ago, but today it has its own name - Dingyi Star.

This is to commemorate the contribution made by Ding Yi. From his very first appearance to the final creation of the gravity well, his entire contribution to the association is obvious to everyone.

There is nothing wrong with naming such a planet after Ding Yi. After all, there are tens of thousands of planets with names in the galaxy outside the Origin Star, and there are countless planets without names.

Chen Lin's mind kept replaying the conversation with Ding Yi, the warnings about advanced civilizations, the truth about the rules of the universe, and Ding Yi's decision to transform himself into a quantum state. These messy things occupied his mind at this time, and it took him a lot of effort to adjust from it.

This is how things seemed to start...

"Vice President, this is the information you requested."

Just when he had some clues, Secretary Zhao sent over a holographic report, interrupting Chen Lin's thoughts.

Chen Lin took the report and quickly browsed through it. The report recorded in detail the discovery process of the underground ruins of Ding Yi Star, Ding Yi's quantum state transformation experimental data, and the preliminary analysis results of the advanced civilization monitoring system.

Every page was filled with shocking information, but what concerned Chen Lin most was Ding Yi’s last words—“twenty years.”

Twenty years, this is the time Ding Yi bought for mankind.

During this time, the Red Dragon Society must find a way to continue developing technology while avoiding the monitoring of advanced civilizations.

Otherwise, what awaits mankind will be destruction... Of course, if they can truly develop within twenty years, they can then ignore the spying of this so-called super-advanced civilization.

"Secretary Zhao, notify the association's top management that I need to call an emergency meeting."

Chen Lin said in a deep voice, "Also, contact the Origin Space Station and ask them to strengthen monitoring of Dingyi Star. Any abnormal signals must be reported to the Red Dragon Office as soon as possible. I want to be informed at any time."

"Understood, Vice President."

Secretary Zhao carried out the order quickly.

The shuttle slowly drove into the docking port of the Origin Space Station. Chen Lin sorted out his thoughts, stood up and strode towards the transfer ship.

……

In the conference room, the top leaders of the Red Dragon Association have gathered together. President Zhang sits in the main seat with a solemn expression.

And when Chen Lin walked in, everyone's eyes were focused on him.

"Vice President Chen, what's the situation?"

President Zhang asked directly, and it was obvious that he already knew what had happened in the past two days.

President Zhang must have understood the whole process of Ding Yi's sudden disappearance. Chen Lin took a deep breath and began to report in detail the discovery of Ding Yi Star and Ding Yi's quantum state transformation experiment to the many senior members of the association below the stage.

He talked about the monitoring system of advanced civilizations, the existence of cosmic cleaning programs, and the twenty years that Ding Yi bought for mankind.

"Twenty years..."

President Zhang repeated the number in a low voice, frowning, "It seems that we really need to find a way to continue to develop technology and avoid the monitoring of advanced civilizations during this period of time."

"Yes,"

Chen Lin nodded, "Ding Yi has bought us some time, but we need to walk the rest of the way ourselves."

There was silence in the meeting room as everyone digested this shocking information.

Finally, President Zhang broke the silence: "Vice President Chen, what suggestions do you have?"

Chen Lin stood up and glanced at everyone present: "I suggest starting the 'Hide Plan' immediately."

"We need to disguise all quantum communication technologies and make sure they look like natural phenomena... At the same time, we need to strengthen our research on Dingyi Star and use the technology in that relic to find more advanced concealment methods."

“In addition,” he continued, “we need to strengthen control within the association to ensure that no one leaks information about advanced civilizations.”

"After all, once such news is leaked, it may cause panic and even lead to early intervention by advanced civilizations."

Chairman Zhang nodded, with a hint of approval in his expression: "That's what I think. The stable development of our technology is the top priority. Time is short and the task is urgent. Twenty years will pass in a flash. If we can develop high enough technology by this point in time, then we may not care about this so-called advanced civilization anymore."

"Then...do we need to ask Ellie?"

A senior member of the association asked at this time. The Night Alliance had promised solemnly to make the Red Dragon Association an advanced civilization, and the representative of the Night Alliance, Ellie, did give them enough help. A large number of core technologies and scientific research directions helped the association take a big step forward.

However, the Red Dragon Association could never regard Ellie as its confidant. Her status in the association was even lower than that of Aian, a remnant of the Pioneer civilization that had already sacrificed and disappeared.

Chairman Zhang pondered for a moment, and his eyes swept across the people in the conference room, finally landing on Chen Lin: "Vice Chairman Chen, what is your opinion?"

Chen Lin frowned slightly, tapping his fingers on the table. After thinking for a few seconds, he said, "The position of Ellie and the Night Alliance has always been a mystery. Although they have provided a lot of technical support, we cannot trust them completely - especially when it comes to major issues such as advanced civilizations that are related to the survival of mankind. We must be cautious."

He paused and continued, "I suggest not revealing the information about advanced civilizations to Ellie for the time being. We can test her reaction in other ways to see if she already knows this information or if she knows anything about advanced civilizations."

President Zhang nodded and agreed: "Vice President Chen's suggestion is very pertinent... We still cannot fully understand the intentions of Ellie and the Night Alliance. It is too risky to rashly reveal such important information to them."

Another senior member interrupted at this time: "But if we don't rely on the power of the Night Alliance, can we find a way to deal with advanced civilizations within 20 years with our own technological level?"

Chen Lin smiled slightly, with a hint of confidence in his tone: "This is exactly why we need to activate the 'Hidden Plan'."

"Ding Yi has bought us twenty years, and the ruins on Ding Yi Star have also provided us with valuable technical clues. When the time comes, as long as we concentrate our resources and push forward research with all our strength, we may be able to find a breakthrough."

He paused, and glanced at everyone present: "What's more, we still have the legacy left by Ai An."

“Although the technology of the pioneer civilization on the planet Kinolian is incomplete, its potential is far beyond our imagination. If we can crack the key part of it, perhaps we can find a way to fight against advanced civilizations.”

Chairman Zhang nodded when he heard this: "Vice Chairman Chen is right. We cannot rely entirely on the Night Alliance. We must rely on our own strength to solve the problem." "We can continue to cooperate with Ellie, but the information about advanced civilizations must be kept strictly confidential."

The meeting room fell into a brief silence again, as everyone was digesting the suggestions of Chen Lin and President Zhang.

A few minutes later, another senior member spoke again: "I also agree with Vice President Chen's suggestion, but can we consider setting up a special research team to be responsible for deciphering the remains of Dingyi Star and the technology of the pioneer civilization? This will not only speed up the research progress, but also ensure the confidentiality of the information."

Chen Lin nodded: "This is a good proposal. We can select the best scientists and engineers from within the association to form a secret research team to be responsible for the implementation of the 'Hidden Plan'."

Chairman Zhang made the decision, "Okay, it's settled."

"Vice President Wang, I'll leave this matter to you. The association will fully support you in whatever resources you need."

Vice President Wang, who was called up, immediately stood up and nodded solemnly: "Understood, I will set up a research team as soon as possible and formulate a detailed research plan."

Chen Lin nodded slightly and said to President Zhang: "The president finally didn't throw this matter to me this time."

"My Vice President Chen can't always take care of everything, right? Although the original intention was to train you, I can't let you get exhausted!"

After President Zhang finished speaking, the whole place suddenly burst into laughter.

After the meeting, Chen Lin did not leave the meeting room immediately, but stood in front of the holographic star map, staring at the position of Ding Yixing.

The ice-covered planet flickered with a faint blue light in the star map, as if telling him some hidden truth.

"Twenty years..."

Chen Lin whispered to himself, "Time is running out."

He knew that every next step was crucial. The threat of advanced civilizations was like a sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of mankind, and they had to find a way to break it before the sword fell.

"Vice President Chen," Secretary Zhao's voice came from behind him, "The preliminary list of the research team has been drawn up. Do you want to review it?"

Chen Lin turned around, took the holographic file handed to him by Secretary Zhao and quickly browsed through it.

The list includes the association's top scientists and engineers, including some familiar names.

"very good,"

Chen Lin nodded, "Notify them to gather at the research center of the Origin Space Station at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. We need to start working as soon as possible."

"clear."

Secretary Zhao quickly wrote down the order and turned to leave.

Chen Lin once again looked at the star map, silently thinking about his next plan in his mind.

He knew that the race against time had officially begun.

The next morning, Chen Lin appeared at the research center of the Origin Space Station on time.

All the research team members from all over the association have arrived, and everyone has a hint of nervousness and anticipation on their face.

Vice President Wang, as the main person in charge of this research group, delivered a speech.

"Everyone,"

Vice President Wang stood in front of the conference room, his eyes sweeping over everyone present, "I am calling you all together today to launch a plan that concerns the fate of mankind - the 'Hidden Plan'."

He briefly introduced the threat of advanced civilization and the discovery of Dingyi Star, and then assigned research tasks to various groups. The research on the remains of Dingyi Star, the cracking of the pioneer civilization technology, the disguise of quantum communication technology... every task is crucial.

"We don't have much time, only twenty years."

Vice President Wang's voice was low and firm, "But I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to find a way to crack it."

Everyone below had an expression of disbelief on their faces; they had never imagined that the work they came here for would ultimately be for this purpose.

What was even more incredible to them was actually the sacrifice of Professor Ding Yi - many people at the scene were big names in various fields, and they knew Ding Yi much better in some areas than Chen Lin, Vice President Wang, or the association's top leaders.

Everyone at the scene felt extremely sorry for the sacrifice of a top scientist like Ding Yi. After all, there were only a few scientists who could truly replace the genius Ding Yi, and the gravity well facility created by Ding Yi had not even started to operate officially...

The grief and indignation at the scene soon turned into stronger motivation and encouragement. After hearing the association's current goals, many of them burst out with amazing motivation.

Vice President Wang briefly explained some core issues to everyone present, and then announced on the spot that the team had been formed. The new work location will be on the Origin Space Station outside the Origin Star. At that time, they will build a separate core research laboratory on it to study some of the black technologies that Ding Yi has created in the quantum state.

The whole plan sounds a bit far-fetched, but since the association has set the goal for the research team, it means that the Red Dragon Association is determined to do this.

Chen Lin looked at the researchers who followed the on-site staff to their respective laboratories, and couldn't help but ask the people around him: "Have you established contact with Ding Yi?"

"Not yet... You mentioned earlier that you could contact Professor Ding. Can you change this to let him contact our research team directly?"

"This may be more convenient for our subsequent scientific research work."

"of course."

Chen Lin nodded.

After entering the quantum state, Ding Yi became somewhat "omnipresent". If this guy wanted to change his trajectory of action, it was very simple. He had established contact with Chen Lin before, and if he was willing, he could establish contact with the association's scientific research group at any time.

To be honest, Chen Lin didn't quite understand the strength of Ding Yi's current posture. He relied on the quantum state expansion on the gravity well to directly transform himself into a quantum state. This itself was a very incredible operation - if he mastered some kind of quantum state attack method on this basis, it would be almost the same to say that Ding Yi had become some kind of quantum god.

But Chen Lin didn't know whether the situation was as he guessed... (End of this chapter)
