Courtyard House: A System Connecting Two Worlds, Resources for the Nation

Will the future be completely transformed?

Zhou Feng shuddered, and a layer of white sweat suddenly broke out on his back.

Yup!

What on earth has he been up to all this time?!

Providing the steel rolling mill with some unplanned pork and flour to improve the workers' meals is at most a borderline case and harmless.

But how could he have been so bewitched that he went into the agricultural seed business and handed over the national mineral distribution map and a handheld spectrometer, which were considered magical artifacts in this era!

Now they've even brought up the topic of small power plants. It's true what they say, beauty has led me astray!

His interactions with Bai Ling and the people in the courtyard during this period were going smoothly, and he even had a subtle feeling of being needed and valued, which made him a little arrogant.

None of them considered what would happen if the things he provided made it easier for the Dragon Kingdom in this timeline to acquire resources, break through technological bottlenecks more easily, and develop industrialization and modernization faster, even far exceeding the original trajectory of history.

The Butterfly Effect!

Will this cause a huge and unpredictable shift in the course of history?

If history changes too drastically, will he, a person from the future, lose his anchor point and simply...disappear?

Or what other, even more terrible thing could happen?

The thought of this possibility made Zhou Feng feel as if his heart was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, and his scalp tingled.

Previously, I was so focused on improving my life, making a little money, and helping out with small favors that I never really thought about this issue in depth!

Now, after being awakened by Bai Ling's unintentional remark, he realized that he might have gone too far!

"Zhou Feng? What's wrong? You look terrible. Are you feeling unwell?"

Bai Ling noticed Zhou Feng's unusual behavior, so she quickly got up, walked to his side with concern, and reached out to touch his forehead.

Zhou Feng seemed startled and took a half step back to avoid her hand.

His eyes were somewhat flustered, and his breathing became slightly rapid.

"No...it's nothing! I just suddenly feel a little dizzy, probably because I've been sitting for too long and the blood isn't flowing to my head."

Zhou Feng forced a smile, but it looked worse than crying.

He was truly in a state of utter confusion and wanted to be alone to sort out the things he had done and whether they had already affected his future!

"Bai Ling, um... look, it's already getting dark. You've been busy all day, so go back and rest! I'll definitely remember about the fish. You guys discuss the power plant issue first, and let me know when you have a plan. I... I'm really dizzy. I want to lie down for a while, maybe a nap will make me feel better."

Zhou Feng spoke very quickly, almost pushing Bai Ling, who looked bewildered and worried, towards the door.

"No, Zhou Feng, what's wrong with you? Don't try to tough it out! I'll go to the neighborhood clinic to get you some medicine, or... I'll ask someone in the neighborhood to take a look?"

Bai Ling was taken aback by his sudden action and stood at the door, refusing to leave.

"No need! Really, no need! I'll take a nap, I'll be fine after a nap! You should go back now, okay? I'm begging you!"

Without saying a word, Zhou Feng practically forced Bai Ling out of the room, then slammed the door shut and bolted it from the inside.

Bai Ling knocked on the door twice more and called his name a few times. Seeing no response from inside, she could only leave with a heart full of doubt and worry, turning back every few steps.

Hearing Bai Ling's footsteps fade into the distance, Zhou Feng immediately rushed back to the bedside, frantically grabbing his phone, his fingers almost trembling with nervousness.

He took a few deep breaths, forcing himself to calm down.

Verify! Verification is required immediately!

If the mineral distribution map and spectrometer he provided led to the discovery of a large number of important mineral deposits in the Dragon Kingdom of this timeline in 1966, then the discovery time of those famous mines and oil fields that should have been discovered and named several years, decades or even more later may have already changed!

Therefore, he specifically chose to look at large and extra-large mineral deposits that were discovered and explored in the late 1960s, 1970s or even later in the original history.

If history had changed, this information would likely have come earlier!

One, two, three... Zhou Feng nervously flipped through the search results, his eyes glued to the screen.

Nothing has changed!

He investigated more than a dozen famous large mineral deposits that were discovered in the 60s and 70s in the original history, and their discovery time was exactly the same as his memory!

At least, there is no indication of any prior planning in the publicly available online records that he could find!

Zhou Feng's tense nerves relaxed a little. It seemed... it was a false alarm?

Slowly exhaling a breath of stale air, Zhou Feng felt that the back of his shirt was already soaked with cold sweat.

He slumped into a chair, panting heavily, before calming down and beginning to analyze the situation seriously.

Perhaps he was just scaring himself.

And it seems he overlooked the most crucial point just now…

The characters in "Full House of Love," including Bai Ling and Hao Pingchuan, are fictional characters from a TV series; they do not exist in the real world.

In other words, the double-door actually connects to another parallel universe, but the history of this parallel universe is extremely similar to the history of their universe a few decades ago.

Therefore, nothing he does will affect the future of his original timeline!

But if it really is a parallel universe, and his double portals can get bigger and bigger as the system upgrades.

What if one day we really unlock the ability to travel through time with living beings...

Is it possible to conduct... resource exchange between worlds?

Even... war?

This thought startled even Zhou Feng himself.

But thinking about it carefully, it's not impossible!

These two worlds are completely different in terms of resource reserves, technological level, and stage of social development.

So, it's about transferring resources from a resource-rich world to a scarce one, and technology from a technologically advanced world to a less developed one…

The benefits and strategic value involved are simply immeasurable!

Moreover, since there is no possibility of historical intersection, the chances of plunder and war are not nonexistent!

Will he help his modern world or this courtyard world?

Zhou Feng swallowed hard and shook his head vigorously.

These ideas are a bit too grandiose; it's too far ahead to think about them now!

Currently, a double-door system can only carry about 1,000 cubic meters, and the system level is low, so carrying living creatures is out of the question. Why think so much about it!

Therefore, the most important thing right now is...

hiss--

Did he just forcefully push Bai Ling out the door?
