Chapter 245 Explosive Seed
The two looked at each other and didn't speak for a while.

After a few seconds.

Zhao Yingjun smiled slightly, turned his head, and looked at the flowing street scene outside the window:
"It must be a very important person or a very important matter, right? Otherwise... this kind of choice of risking one's life would be too great a sacrifice."

"maybe."

Lin Xian smiled, moved the plates on the table away, and asked the waiter to place the chopped pepper fish head that had just been served in the middle of the table:

"This fish head looks really good and very appetizing."

"Then come and try it."

Zhao Yingjun smiled and picked up the chopsticks with Lin Xian:
"This is one of the most classic dishes in Hunan cuisine. I wish you and your newly started Rhine Company good luck!"

……

"There's a show!"

At an open-air barbecue stall on the street, Gao Yang rolled up his vest, rubbed his bulging belly, and pointed the mutton skewers in his hand at Lin Xian:

"Lin Xian, you've become completely rich this time, and you've found a rich woman!"

"Whatever."

Lin Xian gave Gao Yang a displeased look, then lowered his head and drank a glass of beer.

The Hunan dinner with Zhao Yingjun went by very quickly. After all, neither of us drank alcohol. It was just a simple meal and we left after finishing it.

It happened to be still early, and Gao Yang also sent a message saying that we haven't met for a long time, so let's have a barbecue and drink some wine.

Lin Xian didn't refuse either.

Nothing major happened in reality during this period, but the dream brought me quite a shock, so it was just right to drink some wine and relax.

When Gao Yang heard that Lin Xian and Zhao Yingjun had just gone to eat Hunan cuisine, he immediately transformed into a military advisor and began to give instructions:
"You don't understand. Listen to my analysis! Generally speaking, if a woman is not very close to you, has a good relationship with you, and treats you as her own...it is absolutely impossible for her to go to eat Hunan hotpot with you."

"Why?" Lin Xian asked.

"Because eating this kind of thing will inevitably disfigure your face!" Gao Yang explained as he removed the mutton skewers.

"You see, Hunan cuisine is very spicy, so it's inevitable that you'll have a runny nose, blow your nose, sweat, blush, etc., right? The same goes for hot pot. If you wipe off the sweat, your makeup will be ruined, and you'll be exposed as a plain face. And if someone has a runny nose and blows his nose in front of you, isn't that destroying their image?"

"So, in order to maintain their image, women usually choose simple meals that produce less smoke and won't ruin their makeup, such as Western food, when they go out to eat. Do you understand now? Your boss... no, she's your former boss. She doesn't treat you as an outsider at all! She brought you home to look after the dog and ate Hunan cuisine. It seems like she has already regarded you as a very close person!"

"Forget it, stop analyzing it blindly."

For a talented person who had come to such an incredible conclusion as "Oh no, Chu Anqing has fallen in love with me!" on Ji Lin's birthday, Lin Xian now felt that Gao Yang's analysis was just like farting.

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time and both drank a lot.

Lin Xian rarely drinks so much normally, but today he inexplicably felt like drinking a little more.

We chatted for a long time and discussed the current situation.

Brother Wang ordered a lot of cars from Gaoyang and used them as the company's buses, so Gaoyang's performance was also very good. And through Brother Wang's connections, the company also established long-term friendly cooperative relationships with many companies.

Thanks to this, Gao Yang was successfully promoted, from an ordinary salesperson to a department manager, specializing in dealing with major customers.

It is also a cause for celebration.

"Speaking of the hibernation chamber."

Gao Yang, drunk, shook his head:
"Have you read today's news? The Dragon Institute has begun recruiting volunteers nationwide. They say the first generation of experimental models of the hibernation chamber has been built, and animal experiments have passed, and they are now preparing for further testing."

"So fast?"

Lin Xian hasn't paid attention to the news in this area these days.

Nowadays, the scientific field all over the world is changing with each passing day and flourishing in all aspects.

According to Professor Xu Yun's original estimate, it would take humans at least two or three years to build the first generation of hibernation chambers that could be put into use.

But unexpectedly, only half a year later, the Longguo Academy of Sciences had already produced an experimental model.

Although the experimental model is still some distance away from being a formal product that can be put into use, it should take far less than two or three years.

So...

Human potential and explosive power are truly endless.

If there were no dark hand that was covering the sky and suppressing the development of science and technology, it would probably take only a few decades for humans to begin their journey to the vast universe and the sea of ​​stars.

He really hoped that the hibernation chamber could be built sooner.

Xu Yun and Zheng Chenghe are both gone. One of them was kind to him, and the other was a poor person who had no grudge against him. Lin Xian couldn't just leave Xu Yiyi and Zheng Xiangyue alone.

As long as the hibernation chamber is confirmed to be safe and ready for use, he will send the two poor little girls in...send them to a future where their illnesses can be cured.

soon.

Lin Xian finished reading the relevant news.

It is indeed the same as Gao Yang said. Longke Institute is recruiting volunteers and has also listed the possible side effects. Just as Tang Xin said, there are actually many side effects, and amnesia is just one of them.

According to what Lin Xian saw about Zhao Yingjun's life in the third dream, it is obvious that the hibernation chamber in 2026 has overcome all the side effects except amnesia.

This shows that in the three years from 2023 to 2026, someone took over Tang Xin's unfinished research and continued it, and achieved success.

Seeing this long river of time and space between history and the future...

Countless scientists, heroes, and great men have come forward one after another, pushing human civilization step by step to a higher and further direction. Lin Xian couldn't help but sigh at the greatness of mankind.

From a long-term historical perspective, the development of human civilization is a hymn of facing challenges head-on and never giving up.

Xu Yun, Tang Xin.

Dr. Michelson, Academician Gao Wen, and Dr. Ponsmer.

Li Ningning, Li Cheng, Li Sao, and Big-faced Cat.

Zhao Yingjun.

and even……

Yourself.

Every era has its own heroes and its own mission.

And now.

This baton, which spanned 600 years, was passed into his hands.

"go home."

Lin Xian stood up and announced the end of the show.

He still has to go to the dream to find VV, the 13 lines of code that are enough to change the world, reverse history, or carry the fate of mankind...

The sooner you memorize it, the sooner you can turn defeat into victory.

There isn't much time left for him.

Through the limited clues Zhao Yingjun left for him, he could only learn that he failed and died at some stage before 2026.

Specifically, 2025?
2024 years?
Or... in 2023, when there is less than half a year left?
In short, time is indeed running out.

……

……

……

Whoosh!
A red laser passed by and evaporated A Zhuang who was flying.

The high-temperature condensed carbon particles hit Lin Xian's space suit with a crackling sound.

"Bye, Zhuang."

Lin Xian accurately passed through the hole in the air-raid net, adjusted his body position upside down, and accelerated to dive towards the statue of Zhao Yingjun below.

After drinking with Gao Yang and parting ways, he went straight home, lay on the bed in a daze, and fell asleep.

After drinking, I fall asleep quickly.

But once he fell asleep and opened his eyes, the side effects of alcohol instantly disappeared without a trace. This was also the reason why Lin Xian dared to drink a lot before studying hard late at night.

Alcohol would only paralyze his body and brain in 2023. Once he entered the dream and arrived 600 years later, alcohol would not be able to bring him back, and his mind would be as clear as when he had just woken up.

This is a rule I figured out when I was very young.

Apart from one's own memories, dreams have nothing to do with anything in reality.

Including life, scars, food eaten, held urine, lost water... none of them can be taken with you and none of them can be brought back.

Only the pain at the moment of death will be reflected briefly in the heartbeat and adrenaline in reality, but it is also very short-lived. This kind of physical stress response should also be related to the death inertia brought by memory.

Therefore, he never worried about the bad consequences of drinking; naturally, drinking in a dream would not affect reality.

thump.

Successfully and safely landed in front of the statue of Zhao Yingjun.

Click! The familiar metal frame and the familiar metal texture locked the ankle.

Lin Xian turned around and touched the top of the trash can robot's head:

"VV, nice to see you again."

……

"Lin Xian, most of the codes are made up of English words or letters. Once you are familiar with them, you can greatly improve your memorization efficiency. But this line of characters that looks like garbled code is the only one you must memorize without missing a single one."

The trash can robot stood behind Lin Xian, stretched out its mechanical clamp, and pointed at the huge blackboard electronic screen in front of it:

"This string of characters is the most critical part of my entire program, the [sound recognition] part. After transcoding, it becomes a 0.2-second sound, which is the sound of your voice shouting "VV". I will only recognize the person who shouts this sound as the owner."

"So... these characters have no pattern and are stored in hexadecimal format."

After activating the secret code with VV.

At Lin Xian's request, VV sent a flying vehicle to deliver some teaching aids, including electronic blackboards, study tables, pens, paper and so on.

The accompanying robot skillfully assembled these things together, and just like that, under the statue of Zhao Yingjun... this temporary private teaching classroom was completed.

The trash can robot VV is like a teacher, tutoring Lin Xian in basic knowledge while guiding him to recite the initial code.

"..."

Lin Xian looked at the unclear hexadecimal characters on the blackboard, which included the numbers 0-9 and the letters AF mixed together...his eyes were dazzled.

He also did a lot of homework today, fully intending to memorize the code as if it were an "English text".

This is also true, the code itself is composed of English.

But only this part [recognizing sound] is in data form and does not contain any logic or process. It is just pure data.

Because there was no storage device like a USB flash drive, Lin Xian could only memorize the garbled codes on the blackboard.

This was a real slap in the face.

"This is too difficult."

Lin Xian complained:

"Don't even think about memorizing it. My eyes are blurry. There's no pattern at all. Even pi is easier to memorize than this."

"There's nothing I can do, Lin Xian..."

The trash can robot VV spread out his hands:
"This is the hardest part of all the code to memorize. Just memorizing this... in terms of the difficulty, it is equivalent to completing 10% of the entire project. As for the rest, it is no different from memorizing an English text."

"By the way... you complain too much, don't you? How hard is rote memorization? It doesn't require you to think about or create anything."

"No no no."

Lin Xian waved his hand to deny:

“Don’t use your mind to analyze humans. The hardest thing for us humans is rote memorization. If we are asked to think about something or create something, it is not that difficult.”

"No no no."

VV also imitated Lin Xian and moved the mechanical clip:
"There are very few people as stupid as you in Rhine Sky City. Your memory is really too poor. A three-year-old kid here can memorize 1000 codes in one night."

"That's because they've all been [genetically modified]!"

Lin Xian looked disdainful:
"All those people on the street look like plaster sculptures. Both men and women have models-like bodies, smooth and fair skin, without even a single blemish. Isn't it obvious that something has been done to their genes since birth?"

"I don't believe that all humans can grow up so beautiful naturally, especially in Sky City, which is at such a high altitude and has such strong ultraviolet rays. Their skin should be worse, but everyone is as white as snow. There is no doubt that their genes have been improved during the fetal period... or even the fertilized egg period, right?"

"You are right to say that."

The trash can robot VV nodded honestly:

"That's true. Although it may hurt your self-esteem, your looks can only be ranked in the lower middle level among the men in Rhine Sky City."

"Why should I be sad about this?"

Lin Xian smiled indifferently:

"In a city where everyone looks like a sculpture, my appearance is ranked in the lower middle level, which is enough to make me proud."

"So... you just said that any three-year-old here can memorize 1000 lines of code in one night. Is it because they were genetically modified when they were in the fetus?"

“As for the development of the brain, it actually doesn’t start from the fetal period.”

VV explained:
"During the fetal period, the brain is more about the growth of brain cells, but it is not the golden period for stimulating activity and potential. Now, the development of infant brains in Rhine Sky City is also injected into the body with the Biolink vaccine after birth to stimulate the activity and potential of brain cells."

boom!
Lin Xian suddenly woke up and slammed the table!

"Wait a moment!"

Lin Xian stood up from his desk and suddenly realized something:

"You mean! In Sky City, there are drugs that can be injected to develop the brain, stimulate potential, and improve memory?"

"correct."

The trash can robot VV nodded:
"But you are too late. This drug is only suitable for infants in the brain development period. If it is forcibly injected into an adult, a small dose will have no effect. A large dose can stimulate potential and memory for a short period of time, but the side effects will be very serious... Cerebral palsy and cerebral hemorrhage are minor matters. There is a 90% probability that it will lead to brain death."

“Hey.” Lin Xian waved his hands, disapprovingly, and paced excitedly on the spot:

"Why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier? You are such a fool! If I hadn't asked you by chance today, would you have kept it a secret from me forever?"

"I can't tell you!"

The trash can robot VV's eyes flash green:

"Because of the restrictions of my underlying code, I am not allowed to do anything or even make suggestions that would harm humans. So unless you ask, I cannot proactively give you suggestions that would harm your life."

"Don't worry about it."

Lin Xian waved his hand:
"Send that medicine over here!"

Cerebral palsy? Cerebral hemorrhage? Brain death?

The one who died was the self who was in an infinite loop 600 years later. What does it have to do with the self in 2023? When I woke up, nothing happened!
Just like alcohol that paralyzes the brain cannot be brought into the dream world... the side effects of drugs that damage the brain cannot be brought back to the real world.

You can’t take back the damage to your brain, nor can you take back cerebral palsy or cerebral hemorrhage!
but!

【Memories can be brought back! 】

As long as you use those explosive drugs to stimulate your brain, let your memory burst out for a short period of time, engrave these complex codes in your memory and take them back... What's the harm in dying in this infinitely looping dream world?
After a while, a flying ambulance landed from the sky, and a nurse robot walked to Lin Xian with a medicine box and a syringe.

VV looked up at Lin Xian:

“How many doses are you going to give?”

“Just a little less than the lethal dose will be fine. Let’s try it first.” Lin Xian rolled up his sleeves, eager to try.

"If you inject it into the carotid artery, it will take effect much faster."

"Then the carotid artery, speed."

The nurse robot prepared the injection, pressed it into the syringe, and pressed it against Lin Xian's neck.

呲.

The medicine was injected slowly.

Lin Xian suddenly felt as if he was hit on the back of his head!
Dizzy and swollen.

He pulled up a chair, sat in front of the electronic blackboard, closed his eyes, and pressed his hands on his temples.

Pain and swelling...

But I felt that my brain became clear in an instant!

It's like someone poured a bucket of mints into your head, so cool and sweet!
After a while of dizziness, Lin Xian felt calmer and clearer. He could even hear the traces of leaves falling in the breeze...

"Lin...Lin Xian, your nose is bleeding!"

The trash can robot screamed.

Lin Xian could feel the warm water drops dripping onto his trouser legs.

He knew that it must be his nosebleed.

It is the pressure in the brain cavity that squeezes the blood out of the nostrils.

But never mind...

All the discomfort gradually subsided!

Thoughts are connected into lines, intertwined, like lightning and sparks, moving forward in parallel, and a breath of air is inhaled... It's like drinking clear nectar!

bass!
Lin Xian suddenly opened his eyes! !
281e2fee64bbe6d4e53a4a136d28fd2f823534f3ebfab8a8fb35b3789241a9a5e127cbf717314f891a9f3bfaae39564b87e1c1c6909224325c1460e9c6dd273fad28727f4d247edd309ca75a37f2d15df7360db1857d106bad0896a651ac08752c83cd992176bb0e5284b……

remember!
remember!
I can remember the hexadecimal characters on the electronic blackboard in front of me at a glance!

Deeply engraved in memory!
"Turn the page..."

Lin Xian stared straight ahead with his red eyes, his lips, which were covered with blood from his nose, slightly parted, and his voice was calm and powerful:
“Next page!”
