I handed over to another world

"Do your job in your position."

Chen Lin laughed and said, "Let's leave it at that for now. I'm still busy looking at the fleet's work during this period."

"Well,"

Zhang Shouren stood up and said to the people present, "If you have any questions, come to me after the meeting. If you don't have any questions, just go and do your own things."

Chen Lin chased after Zhang Shouren and asked him, "President Zhang, have you had any contact with Gao Wei during this period?"

Zhang Shouren rubbed his temples and shook his head at Chen Lin, saying, "I used the device provided by Yanhuang to clean it up before, and it's much better now."

"That's good."

Chen Lin smiled, "I'm glad you're okay. It saves people from worrying."

"You mean the old president?"

Zhang Shouren said to Chen Lin with a faint smile on his face: "It must be that guy Li Tianyun... He mentioned similar conjectures to me at the beginning. I think that such performance must be guided by him behind the scenes, which is also for the development of the association."

"I didn't expect that he still worries so much even after retirement. It's really not easy."

"Okay, I'll go talk to him when I'm free in a few days..."

Chen Lin didn't say much at this time, just nodded.

It seems that there is no problem with Zhang Shouren at the moment. This guy was chosen by Li Tianyun as the successor to the association's president. He must have gone through various selections and comprehensive considerations. Some time ago, Li Tianyun asked him to take a close look at what Zhang Shouren was doing, and now it seems that there is no big problem.

"Vice president,"

Secretary Zhao's voice came from behind. Chen Lin turned his head and took a look. He heard Secretary Zhao whispered: "We just received a quantum communication from the Gonggong ship."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

……

Chen Lin walked quickly towards the command center, feeling vaguely uneasy. The quantum communication of the Gonggong ship is usually only activated in emergency situations, and Wang Tong had just started preparing to activate the technology after receiving the notification. Could it be that something unexpected had happened now?
Pushing open the door of the command center, the holographic projection has been unfolded, and Wang Tong's figure appears on the screen.

His face was a little pale at this time, and he spoke immediately after seeing Chen Lin walk in.

"Vice President Chen, we are in trouble."

Wang Tong's voice came through the quantum communication with a hint of urgency, "The activation of the forbidden technology has triggered an unexpected chain reaction - the quantum corals at the Mercury base are beginning to get out of control. They are proliferating in an unprecedented way and are even beginning to erode the production line of the anti-entropy alloy."

Chen Lin frowned and quickly called up the real-time data of the Mercury base. Sure enough, he soon saw that the proliferation rate of quantum corals had far exceeded expectations, and the anti-entropy alloy production line in the lava sea also showed abnormal fluctuations.

"Has any attempt been made to cut off the energy supply?"

Chen Lin raised his head and looked at Wang Tong, and asked, "If the energy supply is cut off, it should be possible to limit the chain reaction, right?"

"Tried it, but it didn't work."

Wang Tong shook his head. “The quantum corals seem to have formed a self-sustaining energy cycle. They no longer rely on external energy sources.”

"To make matters worse, we discovered that these corals are penetrating into Mercury's core and appear to be trying to merge with the planet itself!"

Chen Lin's heart sank - if the quantum coral really penetrated into the core of Mercury, the structure of the entire planet might be completely changed, even leading to catastrophic consequences.

By then, not to mention whether the resources of this planet can be reused, all the resources invested in this planet in the early stage will be scrapped. At that time, the association will need to develop a new planet from scratch - but there are only a few planets that can be developed in the solar system, so where will the new ones come from?
"Immediately activate the emergency plan and try to use a gravitational field to isolate the spread of corals."

Chen Lin quickly issued an order, "At the same time, notify the Titan Fleet and ask them to prepare for support."

"Already doing it!"

Wang Tong nodded, "But the situation may be more complicated than we thought. We found some abnormal signals in the core area of ​​the coral, which seem to be related to high-dimensional existence."

"Higher dimensions exist?"

Chen Lin's pupils shrank slightly. "You mean, the loss of control of these corals may be manipulated by a higher-dimensional being?"

"We can't rule out this possibility." Wang Tong said in a low voice, "We are analyzing these signals, but there is no clear conclusion yet."

Chen Lin was silent for a moment, then turned to Secretary-General Zhao and said, "Contact Chairman Li Tianyun immediately. We need his advice."

Secretary Zhao nodded and quickly left the command center. Chen Lin refocused his attention on the holographic projection. The data from the Mercury base was still changing, and the spread of the quantum coral showed no signs of slowing down.

"Wang Tong, how long can you hold on?"

Chen Lin asked.

"48 hours at most." Wang Tong's voice was a little tired. "If we can't control the spread of corals before then, the entire Mercury base may be completely swallowed up."

"understood."

Chen Lin took a deep breath and said, "I will mobilize all available resources to support you as soon as possible. Before that, we must stabilize the situation."

"understand!"

Wang Tong nodded and immediately cut off the communication.

The scientific research teams on the Titan fleet, the Gonggong ship, and the Earth held intensive discussions, and finally they came to the conclusion of directly bombarding the quantum coral sea on Mercury. This conclusion was eventually sent to Chen Lin for final review and approval.

"Bombard Mercury?"

Chen Lin also frowned when he heard this proposal, and his eyes swept across the holographic projection.

The Mercury base is one of the core elements of the Dyson Sphere Project. If it is bombarded directly, not only will a large amount of resources be lost, it may also trigger an unpredictable chain reaction.

"This is the only way."

After the chief scientist of the Titan Fleet made this suggestion, chief engineer Zhou Chenshen discussed it carefully and finally determined that this plan was feasible.

At this time, his voice came through the quantum communication, with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "The growth rate of quantum corals has exceeded our control. If we don't stop them in time, they will completely devour Mercury and may even affect other planets through their gravitational fields."

"But have you considered the consequences of bombarding Mercury?"

Chen Lin asked in a deep voice, "Once Mercury's orbit changes, the gravitational balance of the entire solar system will be disrupted - by then, not only the Dyson Sphere Project, but the entire solar system's ecology may collapse."

"We have calculated it." Zhou Chenshen's voice was still calm. "The bombardment's equivalent and angle have been precisely calculated. It will only destroy the core area of ​​the quantum coral and will not have much impact on Mercury's orbit."

"Of course there are still risks, but this is our only option at the moment."

Chen Lin was silent for a moment, then turned his gaze to Wang Tong's holographic image and asked, "What do you think, Engineer Wang?" Wang Tong's face was still pale, but there was a hint of determination in his eyes.

"I currently agree with Zhou Chenshen's plan... The Mercury base is out of control. If we don't take extreme measures, the consequences will only be more serious!"

He paused, his voice lowered, "A few minutes ago we discovered some abnormal energy fluctuations in the core area of ​​the coral, which seem to be related to higher-dimensional existence. I am worried that if we don't destroy them quickly, it may lead to more terrible consequences."

Chen Lin took a deep breath and glanced at everyone in the command center.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were on him, waiting for his final decision.

"Well,"

Chen Lin finally nodded, "Start the bombardment plan!"

"But all actions must be carried out strictly in accordance with the calculated data, without any deviation."

"Yes, I promise to complete the mission!"

Zhou Chenshen and Wang Tong responded at the same time, and the quantum communication was instantly disconnected. As Chen Lin's orders were issued, the Red Dragon Association fleet in the entire solar system began to mobilize rapidly.

The combat warships of the Titan Fleet and the Gonggong Fleet completed the order to assemble outside the orbit of Mercury in a short period of time, and their guns were simultaneously aimed at the madly proliferating quantum coral sea on the surface of Mercury.

"Countdown to the bombardment, 10, 9, 8..."

The voice of Yanhuang AI echoed in the command center.

Chen Lin stared at the holographic projection, his palms sweating slightly. The next few seconds would determine the success or failure of the entire plan. Once the plan failed, the impact would be huge. The most direct impact on the earth would most likely be various natural disasters.

And once successful, the best result would be to return everything in front of you to its original state...

"3, 2, 1... bombard!"

In an instant, countless high-energy particle beams shot out from the battleship's gun muzzle and headed straight for the surface of Mercury.

The quantum coral sea churned violently under the energy impact, like a black ocean blown up by a strong wind. It was filled with countless energies and began to expand and explode in an instant. Even through the screen, Chen Lin could see the terrifying power of Mercury's quantum coral sea.

"The bombardment hit the target!"

The Yanhuang AI's voice sounded, "The core area of ​​the quantum coral begins to disintegrate."

Chen Lin's heart relaxed a little, but soon his pupils suddenly contracted - the quantum corals on the surface of Mercury in the holographic projection did not dissipate as expected, but began to proliferate at a faster rate.

"what happened?!"

There was a hint of shock in Chen Lin's voice, "Why is it multiplying faster?"

"Something's wrong!" Zhou Chenshen's voice came through the communicator, with a hint of panic in his tone, "The energy response of the quantum corals is rising sharply, they seem to be absorbing the energy of the bombardment!"

"Stop the bombardment immediately!"

Chen Lin quickly gave the order, but it was too late. The quantum coral sea on the surface of Mercury suddenly burst out with a dazzling blue light, and then the entire Mercury began to vibrate violently!
The orbital data of Mercury in the holographic projection began to jump wildly, and the gravitational field also showed abnormal fluctuations.

"Warning! Mercury's orbit deviates from the expected trajectory!"

Yanhuang AI's voice was a little hurried, "The imbalance of the gravitational field may trigger a chain reaction among the planets in the solar system!"

Chen Lin's heart sank to the bottom - the worst situation has already happened. If nothing is done next, then it is very likely that the impact will be transmitted directly to the Earth within a few days.

"Everyone, evacuate Mercury's orbit immediately!"

Chen Lin's voice rang out in the communication channel, "Repeat, evacuate immediately!"

However, just as the fleet began to evacuate, a huge energy wave suddenly erupted from the quantum coral sea on the surface of Mercury. A blue energy beam shot straight into space and instantly hit a battleship of the Titan fleet.

"Titan 7 was hit! The energy shield failed and the hull was damaged!"

There was a hint of mechanical coldness in the voice of Yanhuang AI.

"Zhou Chenshen!" Chen Lin's voice was filled with anxiety. "How are things over there?"

There was a burst of noise in the communicator, followed by Zhou Chenshen's deep voice: "We are fine! But Titan 7 has lost power! What's worse is that Mercury's gravitational field is affecting our navigation system, and we may not be able to evacuate in time."

"Wang Tong, how is the situation over there?"

Chen Lin quickly turned to the communication channel of Gonggong Fleet.

"We are trying our best to evacuate, but Mercury's gravitational field is too strong and the navigation system has been severely affected."

There was a hint of fatigue in Wang Tong's voice, "Vice President Chen, we may need to activate the backup plan."

"Backup plan?" Chen Lin frowned, "You mean..."

"The plan we formulated earlier has corresponding countermeasures. We should give it a try!"

As soon as Wang Tong finished speaking, Chen Lin immediately saw on the screen that the Gonggong ship suddenly turned around. The main ship that was originally trying to escape from this area actually headed directly towards Mercury, which was already boiling and collapsing!

"Is this guy crazy? What on earth is he doing?!"

Yanhuang artificial intelligence turned into a holographic projection and appeared beside Chen Lin. He looked at the performance on the screen and said to Chen Lin: "The Gonggong ship has decided to use itself as a dissolving bomb and drop it on Mercury."

"What do you mean?"

Chen Lin asked in disbelief, "Is there anyone else on board?"

"Engineer Wang has been evacuated along with more than 20,000 people on board. I am currently in control of the ship."

Yanhuang AI said to Chen Lin, "The ship has been specially modified. When it is put into the quantum coral sea, it will explode at the atomic level just like nuclear weapons on Earth. At that time, it will directly explode all the out-of-control quantum coral nanoworms. The current situation can also be completely resolved in this way."

"Why didn't you use this solution before!?"

"Because the overall cost of this plan is too high - compared to the proposals made by human engineers on Earth, the cost of this plan is fifteen times higher."

Yanhuang AI still maintained a calm attitude. "After comprehensive consideration, the program determined that the bombardment plan proposed by human engineers can be used. If the plan is ineffective or even worsens, then the backup plan will be activated in the end."

"Damn it!"

Chen Lin slammed the table suddenly, but he didn't know who to vent his anger on - Yanhuang AI just strictly followed what he was supposed to do, and he really couldn't blame him.

However, the current situation made Chen Lin feel a strong sense of crisis. A purely rational artificial intelligence only considered the cost issue and made such an operation. What if it did something even crazier in the future? (End of this chapter)
