Chapter 255 Ask for advice
This coincidental date...

The moment that white light that burns everything arrives...

Just right.

601 years left.

The air conditioner hummed in the bedroom.

Lin Xian sat up from the bed, recalling the last look of the trash can robot.

that……

Not like a robot.

It doesn't feel like a program.

More like a real person… a real life.

He didn't know what happened.

Just as he said the words "We will never meet again in this life," Rhine Sky City suddenly started beating like a heart.

Sudden……

It's like having life and flesh and blood.

Lin Xian believed that this was definitely not a code that was deliberately left behind or a program that was deliberately hidden.

Because there really isn't any need.

In the world of the third dream, Zhao Yingjun spent 600 years to hide such an unguessable backdoor for himself, which was not easy.

Under this premise, hiding another insignificant poem is obviously unwise and unsafe.

So what on earth was going on with that trash can robot just now?
Lin Xian recalled what he had just heard in his dream:

"I've only been here for an hour. It was only after you shouted VV and said the correct password that I activated this trash can robot. Although I am talking to you through this trash can robot, we are actually two completely different things."

"It was the dog that accompanied Ms. Zhao Yingjun in her later years, played the paper ball picking game with her, and accompanied her in the car.

"Ms. Zhao Yingjun told me this story... The stars Canopus and Shang, one rises in the east and the other sets in the west. They can never appear in the same night sky. This is the farthest distance... We will never meet in this life."

……

Lin Xian suddenly understood something.

Just as the super central brain VV said, it is actually not familiar with Zhao Yingjun.

The robot that has always been with Zhao Yingjun is this old and backward trash can robot, model VV.

It played the paper ball picking game with Zhao Yingjun in his later years;

Sitting with her in a Bentley and listening to her stories;
After Zhao Yingjun passed away, they guarded the white jade statue for 200 years. Although it was rusted in the wind and rain, it always protected her and picked up garbage for 200 years.

and so.

The "person" who finally talked to Lin Xian was VV, who had always been with Zhao Yingjun.

Lin Xian was very sure of this.

because……

Another dramatic AI, VV, never uses mechanical clips to lock his ankles.

This is an action unique to trash can robots.

It is obviously stupid and has no intelligence.

But in the end, it came to life, learned to think, and even turned the entire Rhine Sky City into its beating heart, turning the city's vibrations into a fierce pulse.

"I can't understand..."

Lin Xian yawned.

Is it the awakening of trash can consciousness?
The fusion of two VV consciousness and intelligence?

Or is it that... VV, the super artificial intelligence who is a dramatic genius, just suddenly put on a good show and made fun of himself?
Just like the one before when everyone knelt down and shouted for the King of Rhine City?
"never mind."

No matter how.

It can be considered a farewell.

Farewell friends, goodbye to the third dream, goodbye to that failed future.

From this moment on...

He wants to reverse this failed world line.

Rewrite your destiny!

Lin Xian stood up, walked to the desk, and stroked the closed cover of the notebook.

This strange touch gave him the illusion of touching the top of a trash can.

"Wait a moment, VV."

"I'll bring your greetings to you."

……

boom------

The compact Gulfstream G550 aircraft took off from the Pudong Airport business jet base.

This is Chu Shanhe’s private jet.

The procedures and processes have already been reported and approved, and it will take off on time on the morning of August 2023, 8.

Destination, the imperial capital.

They will land at the Imperial Capital Airport in 4 hours, and after a short rest, they will get on the vehicle arranged by Chu Shanhe and go to the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Longguo Academy of Sciences to meet with Gao Yan, the president of the Longguo Academy of Sciences.

This was Lin Xian’s first time on a private jet.

The experience is really good.

But Chu Shanhe introduced that this kind of thing is actually not very practical, the maintenance cost is extremely high, and the route is not very flexible. Many times, whether it is allowed to take off depends entirely on luck.

"I bought this just for the sake of business reputation. Of course, it will be more useful on overseas routes."

Chu Shanhe told Lin Xian.

For long-distance international routes, private jets are actually better. They are safe and reliable, and the people on the plane know each other well. Not only can information leakage be avoided, but personal safety is also the primary consideration:
"Overseas, it's still not as peaceful as Longguo. There are many incidents. If it's not necessary, it's best not to go abroad easily."

Lin Xian also nodded, agreeing with Chu Shanhe's idea.

He looked through the glass window of the Gulfstream plane toward the distant west... toward 112 Marshall Street in Princeton, a place that he cared about and wanted to visit.

In fact, it doesn't know where to look.

Is the United States to the east or west of its current location?

It's hard to say.

After all, the earth is round, so it’s not wrong to look at it from any side.

Under the current situation.

Lin Xian would definitely not take the risk of going to the United States, and he didn't know when the right time would be.

in case……

If the Dragon Kingdom could provide him with protection, he would feel more at ease.

But it's impossible to even think about it.

What is his identity?
How can you be so virtuous?

Even when he went to the Imperial Capital Dragon Science Institute this time, he only planned to hand over the cold fusion manuscript to Dean Gao Yan, asking him to study it in secret and not disclose any information to the outside world...

Anyway, cold fusion technology cannot be realized within the next few decades, so there is naturally no need to announce it to the world. Just make a fortune in silence.

Dean Gao Yan and Professor Xu Yun have different goals and starting points. From the perspective of the country, Dean Gao Yan will definitely not disclose the technology, and even the progress will be kept secret.

The questions are, "I don't know?" "How could Dragon Country have a nuclear fusion engine?" "I'm about to retire, I can't get in touch with these things." "Oh, what cold fusion, have you read too many novels?"

This is also what Lin Xian hoped for.

He only wanted to do Dean Gao Yan a favor and did not want to rely on cold fusion technology to get rich or seek fame and fortune, so naturally the more secretive the better, and the more he could distance himself from it, the better.

therefore.

In the eyes of everyone except Dean Gao Yan, he was just the boss of a small company, and his greatest achievement was designing a best-selling doll, the Rhine Cat.

A small sesame like this wants the country to send special people, special planes and special cars to protect him?

think too much.

……

7 pm.

In the office of the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Longke Institute, Dean Gao Yan saw Chu Shanhe and Lin Xian coming in, and stood up with a smile:

"Shanhe, long time no see."

Chu Shanhe stepped forward and shook hands with Dean Gao Yan, smiling and saying:

"President Gao, how are you?"

After saying this, he turned sideways:
"This is Lin Xian, whom I mentioned to you. He is a very outstanding young man. He helped solve the murder case of a group of scientists some time ago! At the city's commendation meeting, Lin Xian was awarded the honorary titles of "Youth Who Did Acts of Courage" and "Top Ten Citizens". He is truly a rising star!"

Dean Gao Yan nodded and smiled, then patted Lin Xian on the shoulder:

"Young man, you are indeed handsome and intelligent. I like dealing with young people like you."

After President Gao's secretary poured a cup of tea for each of the three people, he closed the door and left, leaving the three people in the office to chat in detail.

Dean Gao Yan and Chu Shanhe chatted about recent developments.

Lin Xian could tell from their conversation that, as Chu Shanhe said, they had a very good relationship in private.

how to say.

Chu Shanhe respected Dean Gao Yan very much. He looked at the old gentleman with eyes full of admiration as if he was looking at a god.

This is understandable. After all, Chu Shanhe has always been very respectful to scientists, and as Dean Gao Yan is a living fossil in the history of scientific development in Longguo, Chu Shanhe naturally admires him even more.

And Dean Gao Yan's attitude towards Chu Shanhe...

It is also very appreciative, approving and respectful.

It's not like the usual attitude towards juniors, it's more intimate; Chu Shanhe has always regarded Dean Gao Yan as an elder, but Gao Yan treats Chu Shanhe as a peer.

This is also a kind of...

Let’s run in both directions for no apparent reason.

Lin Xian also understood the reason.

Zhao Yingjun had told Lin Xian early on that Chu Shanhe had a high status in the scientific community of Longguo, and donating money, materials and building research institutes was secondary... He relied on his own power and connections to help many Longguo scientists who encountered difficulties abroad, and assisted those scientists who encountered difficulties when returning home to return safely.

On the plane that came here, Chu Shanhe told Lin Xian some stories that sounded quite legendary... This Gulfstream aircraft really "rescued" Dragon scientists from abroad. For someone like Dean Gao Yan who has lofty ideals and beliefs...

No matter how rich a businessman or how powerful a person is, he may not even look at you.

However, he really respected Chu Shanhe, a hero of peacetime, especially a hero in the scientific community, and regarded him as a friend.

This is also the reason why Lin Xian was able to come here today, all for Chu Shanhe's sake.

While the two of them were chatting, Lin Xian also looked up and down at Dean Gao Yan.

His clothes and attire were very simple, and it was obvious at first glance that he was a man who had come from that difficult era.

His hair is gray, but the quality is very good, there is no large-scale hair loss, and it is combed neatly.

His complexion and spirits were good, much better than those of an average 70-year-old. But there was a hint of fatigue around his eyes, probably because he had been busy and tired recently.

After Chu Shanhe chatted with Dean Gao Yan for a while, the topic naturally turned to Lin Xian.

They all knew that Dean Gao Yan was very busy and didn't want to waste too much of his time, so Chu Shanhe directly pointed out the purpose of his visit -

Lin Xian has established a joint laboratory with Tunghai University and has some ideas about controlled nuclear fusion projects. He wants Dean Gao Yan to take a look, check them out, and give some guidance.

at the same time.

Lin Xian also took out the manuscript he had prepared in advance from his briefcase, handed it to Dean Gao Yan, and placed it on the wooden desk.

Dean Gao smiled, opened his glasses case, took out his reading glasses and put them on, then looked at the two people in front of him:

"Since you are a young man recommended by Shanhe, and you are so outstanding, and you are interested in scientific research and investing in building a laboratory... I am really pleased and happy; especially since you are a brave young man, this is also the main reason why I took the time to meet you today. But..."

Dean Gao put away his smile, changed the subject, and said earnestly:

"However, everyone has their own specializations and everyone has their own priorities. Currently, only a few major countries have the strength to research the project of controlled nuclear fusion. This is indeed not something that can be done in a university laboratory. More importantly, there are many difficulties in the field of controlled nuclear fusion, such as material limitations, temperature control problems, stability problems, etc. There are no good solutions or ideas."

"So, young man, let's get this straight. I will certainly read your manuscript carefully, but if I point out any inaccuracies, illogicalities, or even... fanciful parts, don't quibble. I have been studying this field for many years. Although I dare not say that I am an absolute authority, if I can see that something is wrong, then it must be wrong. I hope you understand this."

……

Lin Xian just nodded and smiled without saying anything.

I can tell.

Dean Gao Yan didn't believe in his own ability at all. Although he hadn't started reading the manuscript yet, he was already certain that there was something wrong with it.

That’s why I’m “saying the ugly things in advance” to give you a heads up.

What he wanted to express was simple.

Since you were introduced by Chu Shanhe, I will definitely read the manuscript carefully.

But if someone points out that something is wrong, don't quibble or debate here, just accept it honestly and give up the project.

[Today I am only responsible for marking the papers, not teaching. ]

This is what President Gao meant.

Lin Xian also understood this idea... If he were in Dean Gao Yan's position, a young man in his 20s holding a manuscript and saying "I want to develop controlled nuclear fusion" would be no less than saying "I want to create Ultraman."

Not kicking me out directly was already giving me enough face.

When the gap in knowledge and learning is too big, teaching is meaningless.

It's like telling an elementary school student how many legs a chicken and a pig have. It's very easy using a linear equation with two variables, but without a linear equation with two variables... even a college student may not know how to explain it clearly to an elementary school student.

"I understand, President Gao."

Lin Xian nodded and responded politely:
"Don't worry, if there are any mistakes above, I will never refute anything, nor will I waste your time. I naturally believe in your authority and I trust your judgment."

After hearing this, Dean Gao Yan smiled at Chu Shanhe and nodded affirmatively:

"You see, young people nowadays are so smart that they can understand things at a glance."

He lowered his head.

He adjusted his reading glasses.

Open the first page of Lin Xian's manuscript:
"Then I'll start watching."

……

While looking at the first page, Dean Gao Yan picked up the white porcelain teacup, took a sip of tea, hummed, and nodded.

There was a slight approval in his eyes:
"It seems that you do have some research."

then.

He put down the teacup and turned to the second page of the manuscript.

After reading a few lines...

His brows furrowed slightly.

He pursed his lips.

His eyes were fixed on those lines of words and he couldn't move his eyes away.

wow-

Confused, he returned to the first page and looked at the last part.

wow-

I went back to the second page and looked at the front part.

He raised his head even more puzzled, looked at Lin Xian, looked at Chu Shanhe, and looked back and forth several times... before finally lowering his head and continuing to read the manuscript.

This……

This incident left Chu Shanhe a little confused.

What's happening here?
What did Mr. Gao’s look mean just now?
Are you blaming yourself for bringing a complete layman here?

Or is it that what Lin Xian wrote is so bad... that Mr. Gao is at a loss for words and doesn't know where to start?
He turned his head and looked at Lin Xian.

But found...

Among the three people in the whole room, Lin Xian seemed to be the calmest!
The young man was now sitting upright in a chair, swinging his legs slightly, looking relaxed and at ease, not at all affected by the look from Elder Gao just now.

Be in control of everything.

"hiss……"

suddenly.

Dean Gao Yan let out a gasp.

The frown became tighter and tighter.

He rubbed the white porcelain teacup with his right hand, but had no intention of drinking the tea, as if he was expressing his inner restlessness.

He is very authoritative.

So it’s clear.

The first few pages of this manuscript are truly the bible in the field of controlled nuclear fusion. Many of them are experiences and theories summarized after the launch of the artificial sun in Longguo a few months ago.

It has obviously not been announced to the public. It is an absolute state secret!
But this manuscript in front of me...

Not only did he write down those top-secret theories, he also streamlined and optimized them, explaining clearly many problems that the Dragon Science Institute has not yet figured out... Although it has not been verified experimentally, it is at least theoretically tenable, and it is also in line with the direction of his conjectures for some time!

Turn the page again.

The more I watch, the more confused I become!
The previous part on controlled nuclear fusion is still understandable and is within the scope of my knowledge.

But behind!
What does this cold fusion technology mean?
Gao Yan now felt as if he was reading a martial arts novel with a page missing in the middle...

I had just learned the sweeping kick and two punches on the previous page.

Next page directly:
"This is Zhang Sanfeng, go and kill him."

That's too big a leap!

Gao Yan freed up one hand and wiped his forehead...

In fact, there was no sweat on the forehead at all.

But this habitual action is human instinct and he cannot control it.

This manuscript.

how to say.

What he can understand is definitely 100% correct.

He didn't understand something and hadn't verified it through experiments, so naturally he didn't know whether it was right or wrong.

The young man came all the way from the East China Sea to ask me questions.

I can't even make a judgment whether it is right or wrong!
but……

Based on his long experience in nuclear physics...

The theoretical part about cold fusion at the end of this manuscript should be roughly correct.

Even if it is incorrect, this direction provides very valuable ideas and clues for the controlled nuclear fusion research that is currently facing a bottleneck!
This manuscript...

It is undoubtedly a real treasure!

and.

Turn to the last page of the manuscript.

It turned out to be a complete experimental report.

Various parameters, experimental processes, and experimental conditions are all available, and with the current equipment conditions of the Longke Institute's nuclear physics laboratory, experimental verification can be carried out immediately!

Teng——

Dean Gao Yan slammed the table and stood up!
His face was solemn.

Like an enemy.

Chu Shanhe saw this situation...

Good guy!
I have known President Gao for so many years, and he has always been a very good-tempered and easy-going person. I have never seen him look like this!
What kind of rubbish was written in Lin Xian's manuscript that made this academic master so angry!

He was just one step away from slapping Lin Xian in the face!

"Dean Gao..."

Chu Shanhe stood up with a smile:
"Calm down, young people, education is the most important thing, education is the most important thing..."

however.

Dean Gao Yan walked past him, walked to Lin Xian, and took Lin Xian's hand:
"Young man."

His tone was so excited that it was hard to calm down:
"You come with me!"
