I handed over to another world

"Can we...can we really?"

The leading young man tightly gripped the holographic tablet in his hand, and his knuckles turned pale from the force.

The breathing of his other three companions behind him was clearly audible in the silent reception room.

Chen Lin picked up the teapot. The lavender liquid inside was a kind of purple camellia specially cultivated on the Origin Star. It tasted refreshing and was very good. Chen Lin had been drinking it for several years.

The tea drew an elegant arc in the air, and his voice rang out: "Do you know how many people are in Dr. Wang Yan's laboratory now?"

He paused for two seconds deliberately. "Three months ago, they were a small team of 24 people. Yesterday, they just passed the third round of personnel screening. Now they have 1,200 top engineers and three space station-level experimental platforms."

The holographic projection unfolded in the scent of tea, and Yanhuang AI quickly displayed the latest circular laboratory built by the Quantum Energy Administration - it was a superconducting ring with a diameter of 30 kilometers, which was currently suspended in the starry sky outside the Origin Star. The dark blue energy patterns flowing on its surface were exactly the same as the prototype in the young man's hand.

“But our patent…”

The girl wearing tactical goggles hesitated to speak. "We applied several times before but were blocked. They said that the official dimension constructor does not allow such improvements. Many of the operations we did were actually done privately..."

When Chen Lin heard this, he immediately laughed.

"Patent number STC-5573-143, right? This is a secondary improvement and innovation patent based on the official STC-1332 Dimension Constructor."

Chen Lin tapped the desktop, and the AI ​​Yan Huang quickly displayed dozens of improvement plans throughout the room. "Do you know what the old stubborn people at the Academy of Military Science looked like when they saw the parameters of your civilian version? Their latest model consumes more than three times as much energy as yours, but its stability is 20 percentage points lower."

The young man suddenly laughed, and his tense shoulders relaxed. "Are you talking about those people we met before? They didn't even allow us to enter the last bidding meeting..."

"Sparks are flying from Lao Liu's bionic prosthesis."

Chen Lin's ridicule made the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly a little cheerful - the "Old Liu" Chen Lin mentioned was actually the head of the research institute mentioned earlier. He was a top scientist in the Red Dragon Association and was in charge of the little gadget called the Dimension Constructor.

Before this, Dean Liu was looked up to by them, and they always addressed him with honorifics. Who would have thought that Chen Lin would directly call him Old Liu and even tease him.

But it is normal when you think about it. Chen Lin is the vice president of the Red Dragon Association. There are more than one billion people in the entire Red Dragon Association, and there are only dozens of people in the position of vice president. No one is surprised that a person of this level calls the dean something.

This is the change brought about by status...

Before they could sigh in their hearts, they heard Chen Lin continue to ask them: "So how are you thinking about it? The newly established Dimension Engineering Bureau needs four deputy directors, which just correspond to the four core technical modules of your team."

The four of them exchanged glances, and the leading young man took a deep breath: "We need to retain 15% of the research and development autonomy..."

He trembled a little as he said this. Vice President Chen Lin had personally made a promise to them, and now they were making demands on the vice president. I'm afraid most people wouldn't dare to say anything more. Agreeing was the important thing.

"How about 25%?"

The number Chen Lin threw out made the air freeze again. He smiled and said, "The condition is that you have to teach those stupid people in the Academy of Sciences how to use intelligent machine parts to build wormhole stabilizers within half a year. Is that a problem?"

……

Three months later, twelve honeycomb-shaped buildings were floating in the synchronous orbit of the Origin Star.

Wang Yan's Quantum Energy Bureau is debugging the third zero-point energy reactor. The dark blue energy flow is rushing along the star ring, reducing the energy consumption index of the entire galaxy by 80%.

And in the dock three million kilometers away, the "Star Shuttle-class" colony ship modified by the young man's team has just completed its sea trial. This giant ship equipped with a new dimensional engine can easily jump to Alpha Centauri using 1% of the energy consumption of traditional spacecraft.

"Vice President, a super-dimensional crystal vein has been discovered in the seventh star region!"

Secretary Zhao's holographic image suddenly cut into Chen Lin's private channel, with exploration drones flying all over the sky in the background. "The purity reaches 99.8%, which is completely in line with..."

"Just authorize the fleet of Red Dragon Lin Heavy Industry to develop it."

Chen Lin interrupted the report casually, and drew a bunch of coordinate points in the air with his fingers, "Tell them to build a refinery within 30 natural days, and the super-maintenance shield project will wait for this batch of materials to save lives."

On his retinal projection, the curve representing industrial output value was rising wildly.

Since the launch of the large-scale survey, the association's technology tree has been like a plant infused with star energy, exploding simultaneously in the three major fields of quantum computing, materials science, and energy revolution. The private laboratories that were once buried by the bureaucracy are now blossoming into a dazzling technological constellation on the association's star map.

"But Lin's was the illegal company that was investigated last time..."

Secretary Zhao pulled up the files, which showed that the company had a dark history of using AI to release civilian enterprise servers to secretly run dimensional simulation experiments.

"That's why we let them gnaw on the hardest bones."

Chen Lin chuckled and magnified the molecular structure diagram of the hyperdimensional crystal on the screen in front of him by 100,000 times. "You contact them in person and tell the chief engineer of the group that if the rule distortion phenomenon is triggered during the mining process, he must personally wear protective clothing to clean up the pollution source."

"……Yes!"

Secretary Zhao immediately understood what Chen Lin meant and started arranging work as soon as he went out.

"Vice President, Laboratory No. 3 has requested to use the antimatter reserve."

The AI ​​butler's voice sounded gently, "They want to verify the new model of quantum annihilation reaction."

"Approved, but the experimental site must be moved to an area outside the origin galaxy."

Chen Lin wrote the authorization code in the air with his fingers. "Send a message to Wang Yan and ask him to send three resonance field experts to keep an eye on it. Last time, they almost shook the Space Base No. 3 on the Origin Star out of its synchronous orbit. If such a problem occurs again, just ask him to quit his position."

The AI ​​immediately responded and went forward, and a red alarm suddenly popped up on the holographic screen on Chen Lin's side, indicating that an abnormal regular disturbance had occurred somewhere in a certain galaxy.

Just as Chen Lin was about to retrieve the monitoring data, the alarm turned green on its own - the latest report from the Dimension Management Committee showed that this was just a dimensional shock caused by a private laboratory when testing a certain super material.

The holographic star map unfolded in front of Chen Lin, and twelve golden spots of light lit up one after another along the Orion Cantilever.

He lightly touched one of the light spots, and the three-dimensional projection immediately materialized into a crystal planet with a diameter of 7 kilometers. The surface of this planet, named "Honeycomb-", was covered with hexagonal mines. Lin Heavy Industry's automatic mining machines were using quantum tunneling to peel super-dimensional crystals from eleven-dimensional veins.

"Vice President, the first batch of super-dimensional crystals are 99.92% pure and are being transported to the third shipyard via the stargate."

Chief Engineer Lin's virtual image emerged from the depths of the mine, with the rainbow-colored powder unique to dimensional dust on his protective mask. "But we found this in the B3 mining area." The scene switched, and a translucent diamond-shaped crystal was suspended in the vacuum chamber. When Chen Lin's pupil focus was adjusted to the quantum observation mode, tens of thousands of spiral structures suddenly emerged inside the crystal - those were the Forerunner civilization texts compressed into a two-dimensional state.

"Tell the people at the Archaeological Bureau that I want to see the deciphering report within three hours."

Chen Lin's finger lightly scratched the surface of the crystal, activating the holographic log that had been sealed for three hundred thousand years.

And in the distorted light and shadow, the image of the Forerunner engineers carving the galaxy with gravitational waves made his pupils shrink suddenly - those seemingly random ripples were 87% similar to the Red Dragon Association's latest dimensional folding engine design.

The voice of the AI ​​housekeeper suddenly interrupted: "Dr. Wang Yan requests emergency communication."

Chen Lin waved his hand to close the star map, and the circular laboratory of the Quantum Energy Administration instantly occupied the entire field of vision.

Wang Yan's white coat was stained with scorch marks, and behind him was an energy core that was emitting green smoke. "Vice President, the resonant frequency of the zero-point energy reactor and the Forerunner signal in the crystal have produced a coupling effect."

His words were drowned out by the sudden sound of an alarm - the holographic image shook violently, and Klein bottle-shaped spatial folds appeared outside the laboratory dome - this was the sign of the appearance of the rule-distorting creatures three months ago.

"Activate the dimensional isolation wall! All personnel evacuate."

"Wait!" Chen Lin suddenly stopped him, "Increase the resonance frequency by 0.003 Hz and connect to the quantum entanglement network of the crystal vein!"

Wang Yan's pupils suddenly contracted, but his fingers had already input commands instinctively.

The moment the dark blue energy flow was injected into the folds of space, the hideous regular distorted bodies suddenly solidified, their chaotic forms began to collapse into dazzling stardust, and finally condensed into a palm-sized dodecahedron in the center of the laboratory.

"This is."

Wang Yan's voice trembled a little.

"The materialized key to the universe's self-repair mechanism."

Chen Lin's retina flashed the deciphered text that the Archaeological Bureau had just sent. "The last gift of the Forerunner civilization before its demise - they spent 300,000 years taming their mortal enemy into a key."

"How is this possible!?"

When the faint blue quantum resonance light penetrated the laboratory dome, Wang Yan's white coat was soaked with cold sweat.

He witnessed the distorted shapes that were baring their fangs and claws collapse at the moment the dodecahedron was formed, as if the universe itself had pressed the pause button.

Chen Lin's instructions were still ringing in his ears: "Increase the resonance frequency by 0.003 Hz - now!"

The entire circular laboratory fell into an eerie silence, with only the buzzing sound of energy flowing into the folds of space vibrating in the vacuum.

The Klein bottle-shaped spatial folds were like frozen ice crystals, and the chaotic creatures wandering inside were collapsing into stardust at a geometric rate.

Wang Yan's retinal projection suddenly flickered, and the deciphered text sent from the Archaeological Bureau washed over his consciousness like a waterfall.

"Activate the third-level cognitive filter!"

Chen Lin's voice brought Wang Yan back to reality. The artificial intelligence Yanhuang had blocked all data exits of the laboratory, and the memory clearing module was encrypting the researchers' memories of key formation.

Looking through the isolation window, a palm-sized dodecahedron was suspended in the vacuum chamber, and the honeycomb matrix flowing on its surface was weaving the stardust into a stable energy topological structure.

Three million kilometers away, the Lin Heavy Industry fleet suddenly turned around. The mining director looked at the B3 mining area that was suddenly swallowed by the black hole. The rainbow-colored dimensional dust on the protective mask suddenly began to quantum tunnel - these particles that should have decayed within twelve hours actually penetrated the protective suit and left spiral patterns on his skin. These were the pioneer texts deciphered by the Archaeological Bureau three hours ago.

"Vice President, there is an urgent communication from the Third Shipyard!"

Secretary Zhao's holographic image flashed in front of Chen Lin, with a colony ship wrapped in stardust in the background. "Those crystals... they are rewriting the engine structure!"

Chen Lin's fingertips slid across the holographic star map, and twelve golden anchor points lit up one after another along the Orion Cantilever.

When he projected the energy map of the Forerunner Key to the outer solar system, the star map suddenly twisted into a Klein bottle structure on its own.

Something beyond human understanding is observing them through this topological model—the terms of the bet from three hundred thousand years ago emerge in the quantum entanglement network, requiring the Red Dragon Association to complete a Star Sea-level fold within three Earth years.

"Let Wang Yan take three groups of resonant field experts to the anchor point coordinates."

Chen Lin quickly issued an order, "Replace the resonance module of the zero-point energy reactor with the chaos stardust we found earlier, and stop stimulating these rule-distorting creatures!"

"Yes!"

When the engineers of Lin Heavy Industries discovered that the spiral text on the skin began to extend autonomously, Chen Lin had just issued a new order. The content was actually very simple - it was nothing more than sealing up a part of the scientific research content. These things would attract the birth of new rule-distorted creatures in the universe where the Origin Star was located.

This is very dangerous for the Red Dragon Association at this time.

The engineers from Lin Heavy Industries quickly passed the message back to the association. The small black box protocol carried on the fleet obtained authorization from Earth over long distances, and then all the engineers resolved the temporary crisis within a few hours.

Everyone needs to undergo a comprehensive and detailed examination and treatment in the association's treatment cabin, because the appearance of those strange texts before has made many people feel uneasy. If there is no subsequent intervention from the association, I am afraid that the fleet will not be able to reach the destination and will suffer from starship panic. The association has had similar incidents on expedition starships several times before, directly or indirectly resulting in hundreds of casualties.

After all, if there are psychological problems in such a special and confined space, it would be fatal to most people.

"The problem is solved?"

Chen Lin sat tiredly on the chair and asked the Yanhuang artificial intelligence: "Have all the things found been dealt with?"

"I've dealt with 80% of it. As for the remaining part, I have carried out special containment according to the needs of one of the laboratories..."

"You mean to say that some of the rule-bending creatures have been contained? You are setting a trap for the association!"

Chen Lin frowned and spoke, but Yanhuang AI showed no sign of being anxious: "This is completely in line with the operating rules, Vice President Chen."

"This is also one of the research directions you personally approved before."

Chen Lin lost his temper immediately. He seemed to have approved similar research before... (End of this chapter)
