I handed over to another world

Wang Duan returned to his cabin and the alloy door closed silently behind him.

He took a deep breath and slid his fingers quickly on the terminal to call up the complete file of "Sky Project" transmitted by Chen Lin. The holographic projection unfolded in the narrow space, and dense data streams poured down like a waterfall.

"System, initiate isolation protocol."

Wang Duan whispered into the air, and soon there was a response.

"Isolation protocol has been initiated and all external connections have been severed."

The electronic female voice responded, "Warning: This operation will trigger a security log entry."

Wang Duan gritted his teeth. He knew that the association’s surveillance system was everywhere, but he had to take the risk at this moment.

His fingers quickly flipped through the projection and went straight to the energy distribution module. When he saw the lock symbol appear again, his breathing couldn't help but stagnate.

"Zoom in on the seventh module and analyze the quantum encryption anchor point structure."

The projection screen changed rapidly, and the complex quantum algorithm structure diagram appeared before our eyes.

Wang Duan's pupils suddenly shrank - this was not an ordinary encryption system at all. At its core was a topological structure he had never seen before, like a carefully woven web. As one of the designers of the relevant system, Wang Duan knew very well what these special structures represented.

"This...is this a quantum control protocol?"

He muttered to himself, his fingers shaking unconsciously.

If his guess is correct, this system can not only control who can pass through the portal, but also remotely control the opening and closing of the portal - of course, this thing also requires the highest level of authority. Wang Duan does not think that the top leaders of the Red Dragon Association will give the authority of this thing to Origin Star at this time.

The terminal suddenly emitted a shrill alarm.

"Unauthorized parsing attempt detected, security protocol activated." The electronic female voice turned cold, "Please stop the operation immediately and wait for security personnel."

Wang Duan quickly closed the file, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.

He should have expected that the file Chen Lin gave him must have contained a monitoring program. Now he could only pray that this would not arouse too much suspicion - as the representative of the Industrial Committee on the Origin Star, technical analysis was his responsibility.

He had just finished talking to Chen Lin, so logically speaking, some illegal operations at this time would not be taken seriously.

The hatch communicator suddenly sounded.

"Technician Wang, President Chen invites you to have dinner in Shanhai City."

A mechanized voice came, "In one hour, we will be in the observatory at Red Mountain Base."

Wang Duan forced himself to calm down: "Got it, I will be there on time."

After the communication was cut off, he slumped in his chair.

This was definitely not an ordinary dinner invitation. Chen Lin must have known about his analysis and was now testing him.

Wang Duan closed his eyes and pondered for a long time before finally deciding to take the risk and contact the "Origin of Freedom".

Wang Duan took out a microchip from the inside of his collar and inserted it into the hidden interface of the terminal.

This is the emergency communication device given to him by Free Origin. It is said that it uses the quantum encryption technology unique to the Origin Star and can avoid the association's surveillance - of course, they all think so. No one knows whether it can work or not. Wang Duan thinks that the confidentiality of this thing is high enough.

"Verify your identity."

He whispered as a faint red light lit up on the surface of the chip, scanning his retina.

"Identity confirmed...Technician Wang, please state your request."

A low electronic sound rang out, but that sound was not human language. Instead, it was switched into a special noisy electronic sound through some device, and finally converted into a universal language through a specified code.

"I need to speak to the Blacksmith immediately, priority S."

"Connection is being established... Please wait..."

After a few seconds of silence, a voice with a changed voice came: "Why are you contacting me suddenly? Has the situation changed?"

"Project Skydome is more dangerous than we thought."

Wang Duan quickly lowered his voice and said, "The quantum encryption anchor point is actually a control device. Chen Lin not only wants to upgrade the portal, but also wants to fully control its opening and closing rights."

There was silence for a moment on the other end of the line, and then a voice spoke.

"Your judgment is basically consistent with the intelligence we have obtained."

The blacksmith on the other end of the line finally said, "The association has secretly built relevant signal base stations on three affiliated planets, and they are all disguised as energy transfer stations."

Wang Duan clenched his fists. It was true!

Hidden beneath Chen Lin's gentle mask is his absolute control over the Origin Star. This guy has been in the position of president for more than ten years. How could he not have any backup plan?
The attitude he showed before was just to make them let down their guard!

"And there's something worse," he continued, "Chen Lin invited me to dinner, and just an hour later^ I suspect he has become suspicious."

"Remain calm." The blacksmith's voice was surprisingly calm. "Remember, Chen Lin likes to play psychological games the most. Don't let him lead you by the nose. Once he controls your emotions, you will easily be led into a trap by him."

"What's more, this is on Earth. According to the information we have, Chen Lin also possesses magical power... Although it is not very strong, if it is on the Origin Star, it is still very easy to make you say what you want to say with the power of magic."

"You should be thankful for his current status as the guild leader. This prevents him from freely entering the Origin Star again. The Earth is the final place where he is bound."

"I know what to do..."

Wang Duan nodded slightly. Everyone knew that the top leaders of the association were not allowed to rashly enter the Origin Star. This was to ensure that the portal of the Origin Star would not suddenly have problems, thereby causing the top leaders of the association to be bound to the Origin Star.

Unexpectedly, the rules established by Li Tianyun at that time have continued to this day.

"That's the end of today's call."

The blacksmith said to Wang Duan, "Stay calm. Our existence is just a suspicion to Chen Lin. There is no definite basis for it..."

Wang Duan waited silently for the communication to be suddenly interrupted, and the chip was automatically destroyed and turned into a wisp of green smoke. He threw the chip into the molecular decomposer and watched it disappear completely.

He looked at the time. There were still forty minutes left, which was enough time for him to prepare.

In fact, the blacksmith was too confident. Wang Duan knew too well Chen Lin's abilities and the information revealed in his previous words. It was not a question of whether Chen Lin had evidence or not, but a question of whether he cared or not.

If the entire Free Origin is an existence that Chen Lin can win over or even support, then Chen Lin can even ignore what Free Origin has done before and choose to accommodate it.

Wang Duan sighed slightly. He had already planned to withdraw from the Free Origin - if everyone was as stupid as the blacksmith, then there would be no need for him to stay in this organization.

...The Observatory is located on the top floor of the command center of the Hongshan Base. Outside the fully transparent dome is the vast starry sky, and the night sky of the Earth also looks unusually beautiful.

Since new energy sources gradually replaced the original power generation model, the Red Dragon Association and even the environment of the entire earth have undergone rapid changes, and the night sky has once again returned to its starry state of decades ago.

Chen Lin was already waiting there. On the long table in front of him were purple fruits unique to the Origin Star and red wine produced on Earth.

"On time as usual, Technician Wang."

Chen Lin smiled and motioned for him to take a seat, "I hope you don't mind the party tonight."

Wang Duan forced himself to smile: "You are too polite, President Chen."

"President Chen has already given me enough face by personally inviting me here. I am really flattered..."

He noticed there were only two sets of place settings on the table, no waiters, no security.

This further confirmed his suspicion that tonight's conversation would not be easy.

Chen Lin signaled the intelligent waiter to quickly pour Wang a glass of red wine. The deep red liquid flickered with a strange light under the starlight, and then the intelligent waiter withdrew.

"Fifteen years ago," Chen Lin suddenly said, "when we first discovered the Chiyang Mine on the Origin Star, everyone thought it was just an ordinary planetary rare earth mine."

He took a sip of his drink, "Until a worker accidentally set off a miniature chain reaction in the lab."

Wang Duan's fingers tightened slightly on the wine glass.

Why did Chen Lin suddenly bring this up?
"That accident destroyed half of the laboratory, but it also allowed us to discover the existence of antimatter."

Chen Lin continued, his eyes as sharp as a hawk, "Do you know who approved the continued research?"

Wang Duan shook his head.

"it's me."

Chen Lin put down his glass and said, "Everyone was against it at the time, thinking that the risk was too great, but I was the only one who saw its potential."

He paused, "Just like now, I am the only one who sees the true value of the Origin Star."

Wang Duan felt a chill running up his spine. There was something else behind Chen Lin's words, and every word was like a double-edged sword.

"Your contribution to Origin Star is obvious to all."

Wang Duan responded to Chen Lin cautiously, "If you hadn't opened the portal, there would be no Origin Star today... No one can deny this."

Chen Lin suddenly smiled: "Wang Duan, do you know why I value you so much?"

Without waiting for an answer, he continued, "Because you, like your father, have that kind of... reckless courage."

"Back then, he knew that the portal was unstable during that period, but he still insisted on leading the team into the Origin Star according to the original plan."

Wang Duan's heart beat faster. This was the first time Chen Lin took the initiative to mention his father.

"The official report said it was an accident."

Chen Lin's expression became unreadable: "Reports always embellish things."

He stood up and walked towards the holographic projector in the center of the observatory. "Like this."

He activated the projection, and a blurry image emerged. Wang Duan saw his father standing in front of the portal, arguing fiercely with someone.

Then the picture suddenly distorted, and after a dazzling blue light, the portal collapsed.

"This record should have been destroyed." Chen Lin said calmly, "But your father deserves to be remembered for the truth - he did not die in an accident, but to close the out-of-control portal and avoid a greater disaster."

Wang Duan felt his blood curdle. He asked Chen Lin in a hoarse voice, "Why are you telling me this now?"

Chen Lin closed the projection and turned to face him: "Because the Skydome Project will completely solve this problem. The new generation of portals cannot get out of control or be abused."

His eyes became sharp, "Both for the association and for... Free Origin."

Wang Duan's breathing almost stopped. Chen Lin not only knew the existence of the organization, but also pointed it out directly.

"I... don't understand what you mean."

He tried to remain calm, but he found it extremely difficult to swallow the saliva in his throat.

Chen Lin suddenly changed the subject: "You will lead the team back to the Origin Star in three days. I want you to check all the projects currently being carried out at Anyun Base. If you find any special content or illegal projects, deal with them directly."

"Before the association sends a new person in charge of the Origin Star, you are the highest person in charge on the Origin Star. I hope you are clear about this."

Before Wang Duan could even say anything more, Chen Lin spoke again.

"Remember, Wang Duan."

"Sometimes the strongest lock is not for confinement, but for protection. The future of Origin Star is in your hands."

He pressed a button on the table, and the dome of the observatory suddenly became completely transparent.

The stars are shining and the night sky is extremely beautiful.

"I worked at Anyun Base for a long time. I am probably the only one in the entire Red Dragon Association who knows Anyun Base well."

"Even after I left Anyun Base, my colleagues and friends at Anyun Base would contact me from time to time to talk to me about recent events."

Chen Lin seemed to be saying some horrifying information calmly. Wang Duan's pupils suddenly shrank. He realized that the so-called secrets of the Origin of Freedom were most likely just playing house to Chen Lin - you know, the hundreds of thousands of troops stationed on the Origin Star did not make any movement the whole time, and these people have been rotating stably and efficiently for decades.

Even though he was the temporary senior leader on the Origin Star, he had no authority to mobilize the armed forces on the Origin Star, and he didn't even have any channels for mobilization!

Wang Duan looked at Chen Lin in shock, only to see the indifferent expression on Chen Lin's face: "...I have deep feelings for the entire Origin Star. I have personally visited every continental plate and land there. I watched the outpost base rise from scratch, and the Anyun base on the Dalade continent was built piece by piece under my hands."

"So some people's little tricks are not even as good as playing house to me."

"Apart from affecting the normal lives of ordinary people and causing some panic, their methods will not have any impact on the Red Dragon Association as a whole."

Chen Lin raised his eyes and looked at Wang Duan coldly: "Unless they go too far, then they might ask the adults to tear down their playhouse... This might make many people feel cruel."

Wang Duan didn't even dare to look directly into Chen Lin's eyes. He took a deep breath and said slowly, "President Chen... I will completely solve this problem after I return." (End of this chapter)
