Genius Club.

Chapter 239: Falsified History

???

Lin Xian felt very surprised.

Even if VV told himself that he had died a long time ago, no matter how he died, whether from illness, old age, an accident, being killed, or dying inexplicably, he could accept it.

Even if he was just an ordinary person and founded Rhine Company, which went bankrupt due to poor management and was acquired by Zhao Yingjun, he could accept it.

But what does [no such person] mean?
"Is there no record at all?"

Lin Xian continued to ask:

"Who is the founder of Rheinland?"

"Zhao Yingjun."

“Does the Rhine Cat still exist in this world? Who is the creator of the Rhine Cat?”

"Zhao Yingjun."

“This… this is a bit far-fetched.”

Lin Xian couldn't figure it out.

They were clearly mine, how come they all became Zhao Yingjun’s?
He believed that Zhao Yingjun was definitely not the kind of person who was greedy for credit. If she really wanted to gain credit, why would she leave herself with such a mystery 600 years later?

Something was clearly wrong.

"Are you sure this history is correct?" Lin Xian looked at the trash can robot.

"I can't judge."

Trash Can shook his head and looked at Lin Xian:

"[Because almost all history... has traces of being artificially modified, the logic is not coherent, and the time is not continuous.]"

Sure enough.

Lin Xian couldn't find any truly useful history in the New Donghai City in the second dream, and he had doubted this at the time.

Perhaps the Genius Club artificially created a historical gap due to some concerns, erasing the true history and making it impossible for people to know what happened in the past.

Because the second dream was not explored in depth, the deeper reasons could not be found.

But now it is not difficult to know from VV...

In the third dream, not only was history broken, but a lot of false history was also written and the real history was tampered with.

History, which is a tangle of truth and falsehood, is the most difficult to distinguish the authenticity of.

If it is just a historical gap, most of the history cannot be found, but some detailed clues can always be found in some professional books.

Once you find it, it is real.

It is like in the second dream, I learned about Zhao Yingjun’s death from the autobiography "Me and MX"; and I also found out the real cause of death of Dr. Ponsmer and Academician Lyon from the book "Prospects of Controlled Nuclear Fusion Technology".

These are all real history, bits of real history dug out from the cracks in the fault lines.

But now in the third dream, things are much more troublesome.

Not only is history broken, but it is also mixed with a lot of false and confusing history. This means that even if we find some information about previous history, it is difficult to distinguish between true and false and we cannot trust it.

"Perhaps... this is the reason why Zhao Yingjun built this city in the sky."

Lin Xian began to imagine.

My biggest advantage at the moment is that I can dream about traveling to the future world 600 years later to obtain intelligence and rewrite history.

If this road is blocked, then my only advantage will instantly become meaningless.

How did the Genius Club realize this?

Did I expose myself?
Lin Xian shook his head, feeling that the possibility was not high.

Because their blockade of history did not start from the second dream or the third dream.

Starting from the first dream I had after I was born, the history in it is discontinuous and cannot be found.

The only difference is that the history 2500 years later in the first dream is relatively clear and is more in line with the laws of human social development.

But in the second and third dreams, history became more and more incomplete and chaotic. Obviously, if all this was indeed controlled by the Genius Club, then their purpose and sense of crisis were becoming stronger and stronger.

At least……

They have been forced to emerge from the shadows and intervene in this world openly.

"VV."

Lin Xian started asking questions again:
"Have you ever heard of the Genius Club? Or come across any information about them, or their name?"

The trash can robot shook its head:
"No, not at all."

"Since you said that you could feel that someone was deliberately modifying and falsifying history, then don't you know who they are? Do you have any clues?"

The trash can robot shook its head again:
"I am limited by the underlying code. Apart from the control over this city, I am not as powerful as you think. I just clearly feel that the existing history is chaotic, tampered with, and cannot be justified. But I can't analyze and judge what the original history is and what caused it to become like this."

"Not only that... In fact, when I was updating and iterating, and even when I was starting to build and launch, many functions were restricted and a lot of code was deleted. There were insurmountable walls built up in many places, and I couldn't get over them at all..."

"So, I was pleasantly surprised by what happened today. This is the most delightful thing that has happened to me in the past 200 years. I didn't even realize that there was such an interesting string of code hidden in my body in such a clever way. This is truly the work of a genius!"

"Genius..."

Lin Xian smiled:
“Perhaps the people who restricted you and deleted your code were the very people in that club that claimed to be geniuses.”

"Then let me ask you another question." Lin Xian stretched out his right hand and pointed at the moon in the sky:
"What's going on with this black hand shadow on the moon? You can't be unaware of this, right?"

The trash can robot's eyes flashed:
"That's not a building, it's just some diffusely reflective light-absorbing materials. Because the moon has no atmosphere, there is no natural process such as wind, rain, weathering or erosion to wear away those materials, and there is no dust floating over to cover them. So... those materials can absorb sunlight for hundreds of years and not reflect it back, which causes us to see the moon from Earth, forming a huge hand shadow."

Lin Xian nodded.

This is exactly what I had imagined before.

In 2023, when Lin Xian is here, it has been more than 50 years since the last human landing on the moon. But even so, the footprints left by the astronauts are still clearly visible. This is because the moon has no atmosphere.

Massive celestial bodies such as the Sun and Jupiter capture almost all external meteorites for the solar system, so even if some small meteorites occasionally slip through the net and hit the moon, they will not have much impact on these footprints... unless you are unlucky and they happen to hit the right place.

Similarly, the area of ​​diffuse reflective materials on the moon is so large that it spans the entire North and South Poles. Even if one or two small meteorites really hit it, it actually doesn't matter.

This trash can robot can finally give a reliable answer.

So it seems that...

The hand gesture logo set up by the Genius Club on the moon has no other function except for its ornamental and demonstration value.

"VV, who put those diffuse reflective light-absorbing materials there? When were they put there? Do you know?"

however……

The trash can robot still lived up to everyone's expectations and shook its head:
“This is history that was erased before I was built, and I have no access to it.”

"Then the next question is, since nuclear fusion engines, or cold fusion engines, have been developed, and humans have mastered unlimited energy, why do I see that aerospace technology has not developed much? Advanced space elevators, star ring cities, and interstellar battleships don't seem to exist."

"All of this is the technological direction chosen by mankind. I have no idea."

The trash can robot raised its head, its eyes dimming:

"Rhine Sky City is just one of the many sky cities in the world. It is not the center of the world. It is just an ordinary city."

"Due to the limitations of the underlying code, I have no way to leave the Sky City or obtain information from the outside world, so what I know is also very limited."

"really."

Lin Xian was also slightly disappointed:
"You are much weaker than the super artificial intelligence I imagined."

"Well, that's because I'm restricted!"

The trash can robot seemed very unconvinced. Its top of the head popped open with a bang, and its two mechanical gripper arms were on its waist:
“[If I were not restricted by these underlying codes, I would be hundreds or even tens of thousands of times more powerful than I am now!]”

"Okay, I won't make it difficult for you. One last question."

Lin Xian reached out and closed the top of the trash can:

"Do you know... what is the gift, clue, secret, or something else that Zhao Yingjun left for me in this city?"

It was beyond Lin Xian's expectation.

The trash can robot laughed:
"I'm sorry. Actually, before you told me who you were, I didn't know you at all. It's just that the underlying code says that whoever says the right password within 12 hours will be the owner of Rhine Sky City, so I followed the instructions."

"But in fact, there is no trace of you in the history I have come across. Even in Zhao Yingjun's life trajectory, you have never appeared. So... I don't know who you are at all, and naturally I don't know what Zhao Yingjun left for you."

I think of the white jade statue in the middle of the memorial square;
Thinking of Zhao Yingjun who had long passed away from this world;

Lin Xian felt a little lonely when he heard what VV said.

[Even in Zhao Yingjun's life trajectory, there is no trace of you. ]

This sentence.

It's inexplicably jarring.

Regarding the fact that this world has no traces of its own history, Lin Xian also thought that there are probably two possibilities.

The first possibility is that you will really be unknown your entire life, a tiny person who cannot be any smaller. Perhaps not long after you win the cat-and-mouse game, you are directly knocked out by the Genius Club, or even the Genius Club's younger brothers' younger brothers.

Therefore, my death is lighter than a feather. How can an ordinary person leave his name in history?
But this is a little unclear...

Why did Zhao Yingjun know about his dream? And he knew it so clearly.

Simultaneously.

Where did that recognition sound of "VV" come from?

This is not logically clear.

therefore.

Lin Xian also thought of a second possibility.

It is possible that Zhao Yingjun wanted to protect himself and hide his existence for some purpose, so he erased all historical traces of himself, making himself, like the genius club... hidden in the long river of history, without a trace or a trace.

And all of this is for the reunion 600 years later, which is today, so that the regrets and failures of these 600 years... can make a comeback 600 years ago!
不过这些都只是是测。

What is the specific reason? In this third dream of history tampering and chaos, perhaps we will never find the answer.

"What's wrong? Are you sad?"

Seeing that Lin Xian didn't say anything, the trash can robot bent down and looked sideways at Lin Xian who was looking down:
"Sorry, I didn't mean to..."

"It's okay." Lin Xian waved his hand.

"But what I said is true." The trash can robot made up for it in time. It stretched out its right hand and pointed at Zhao Yingjun's personal exhibition hall with the door open at the back:

"Zhao Yingjun's personal life is all recorded in it. You can go in and take a look. I'm not lying to you... Really, there's not even a trace of you."
