Genius Club.

Chapter 283 Jask's Observation Tower

Lin Xian cursed VV 37 times in his heart.

He jumped up with one leap!

Harming the master?

fine……

I have always had the habit of wearing pajamas.

squeak-

The door of the base dormitory slowly opened due to inertia.

The light in the corridor first shone through the crack in the door as a line, and then as the crack widened, it turned into a long strip, a bright rectangle, and the shadow of a girl in a nightgown.

"Eh……"

Chu Anqing grabbed the collar of her nightgown with her right hand, blinking her big eyes rapidly, and stood there at a loss as to what to do.

She, she, she just wanted to say hello to Senior Lin Xian...

But what!

Senior Lin Xian directly invited me in to chat!
And he even opened the door!
This……

This, this, this!
"The moonlight seems nice today."

Lin Xian took the initiative to change the subject, thinking about going out for a walk.

They are a single man and a single woman, and the place is an astronaut training base. It is not appropriate for them to chat in the house so late at night!
He pointed out the window, trying to find the position of the moon.

But I found that... dark clouds covered the moon completely:

"I mean, the moonlight just now was very nice, but unfortunately, it's blocked by dark clouds now. I don't know if you noticed it just now."

Damn it.

The moon is not cooperating with me today.

"I, I don't have any..."

Chu Anqing scratched her hair and smiled:

"I just couldn't sleep, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't fall asleep, so I went to the simulation cabin training room to study for a while. Then on the way back to the dormitory... I heard you talking on the phone inside, so I thought of saying hello to you..."

air.

Suddenly it felt a little awkward.

Chu Anqing stood at the door, loosened her right hand that was tightly gripping her collar, and timidly pointed at the coffee table in the dormitory:

"Um...can I come in?"

Lin Xian was helpless.

Nodded:

"……Um"

He walked to the door, opened it completely, turned on the light, and extended his hand to invite:
"Please come in."

"Excuse me for disturbing you!"

Chu Anqing was a little reserved. She walked in with small steps and moved to the front of the coffee table.

Sit up straight, with your back straight, sit up straight.

boom.

Lin Xian closed the door and turned his head:
"Want something to drink?"

"Water! Just water!" Chu Anqing felt that her voice was a little high, and smiled embarrassedly:

"Hehe...I was a little thirsty in the training room just now."

Lin Xian took two cups, poured two cups of cold boiled water, placed them on the coffee table, and sat opposite Chu Anqing.

silence……

Suffocating silence!
This is a brand new version that Lin Xian has never played before.

Even though I was a powerful figure in the dream world, or even playing cat-and-mouse with a group of murderers in reality, I had never been as passive as I am at this moment... I didn't know what to say or do.

Nothing is appropriate.

Everything I do feels awkward.

I feel like ants are crawling all over my body.

He could already imagine that if he told Liu Feng how he felt at the moment, the other party would definitely smile contemptuously, raise the corner of his mouth, and look at him with contempt:
"Have you ever been in love?"

soon.

Chu Anqing drank half a glass of water, raised his head and looked at Lin Xian:

"Lin... Senior Lin Xian, is that [Spacetime Particle]... really important to you?"

Lin Xian nodded without comment:
"You know that alpha matter is the space-time particle?"

Chu Anqing nodded:

"Just now I met Sister Huang Que in the training room. She chatted with me for a while and took the opportunity to tell me the real plan and content. But in fact, there is no difference. She just corrected a few terms. Whether it is alpha matter or space-time particles... In fact, I don't have any specific concepts. They make no difference to me."

"Yellow bird?"

Lin Xian turned his head and looked at the electronic alarm clock.

At this moment, VV's expression on the alarm clock screen was still 0_0, like a fool eating melon.

It seemed that he noticed that Lin Xian was checking the time.

The digital alarm clock jumped to 01:22.
"It's already this late, isn't the yellow bird asleep yet?"

"She probably hasn't slept, and doesn't plan to sleep." Chu Anqing said:

"Because Sister Huang Que didn't change her clothes. She was still wearing high-heeled boots, a big windbreaker, earrings, makeup, and her hair was tied up... It was obvious that she didn't come to the training room because she couldn't sleep like me, but she didn't plan to sleep in the first place."

"She came down from upstairs at the time, and I had no idea what she was doing on the rooftop. Then she saw the lights on in the training room, so she came in and chatted with me, correcting a few terms she had said before."

It turned out to be the case.

Lin Xian understood.

This woman Huang Que has always been so inexplicable.

He's elusive and never sleeps.

But now Lin Xian is too lazy to study and analyze her. He thinks that anything unreasonable and unusual happening on Huang Que is reasonable.

Even if someone suddenly told him.

The Yellow Bird is an immortal witch! She doesn't need to sleep! She lives forever!
He would also say "oh" calmly.

Very normal.

Nothing to worry about.

On the contrary, if one day Huang Que behaves like a normal person, Lin Xian will definitely think that she has been possessed by another spirit.

It doesn't matter if I tell Chu Anqing about the space-time particles. It's just a matter of time.

Huang Que had told Lin Xian not to tell the driver Wei Cheng.

Although Wei Cheng is a trustworthy person who will definitely not speak nonsense, and he is also backed by the country and is an official astronaut, after all, the existence of space-time particles should be known by as few people as possible.

As for Gao Yang and Chu Anqing, they will know sooner or later.

"I also heard you and Professor Liu Feng talk about this term in your laboratory at Tunghai University."

Chu Anqing blinked and asked again:

"Senior Lin Xian, is this thing really important to you?"

……

Lin Xian held the water cup in his hand.

Turned around twice. Nodded:

"Very important."

He smiled and said:

"Otherwise I wouldn't have gone to space to look for him. Although Liu Feng has narrowed the range of the altitude of space-time particles passing over the earth to 10 kilometers to 100 kilometers, it stands to reason that the Karman line altitude of no more than 100 kilometers cannot be considered as space. But in fact, it makes no difference to us... It is still dangerous."

Danger.

It is multifaceted.

Lin Xian knew it clearly in his heart.

Kevin Walker's whisper in my ear...

Jask left a message for himself: See you in heaven...

Coupled with the unusual calm during this period...

all.

All of these made Lin Xian feel extremely uneasy.

It would be better if a few people challenged him openly to make him feel at ease. This unknown feeling of not knowing the purpose, the means, or even where it is is what really makes Lin Xian worried.

You may not know when these people will suddenly appear and catch you off guard.

Over the past ten days.

VV has been keeping an eye on Jask.

According to VV, Jask is very free and easy. He does not consider the risk of being monitored or surveilled at all. He is carefree, just like a playboy.

Of course, this person is a real workaholic when it comes to work. Sometimes he will work all night in the office, or go to the laboratory to inspect and carefully learn professional knowledge.

【No flaws】

This is what VV said about Jask.

There is really no flaw.

If he hadn't stuffed a piece of sealing wax into Lin Xian's hand, which was embossed with the seal of the Genius Club, Lin Xian and VV would never have suspected that this person was a member of the Genius Club.

"Lin Xian, the more this happens, the more I doubt him."

VV analyzed:
"You may not be able to sense that feeling... I just feel that [Jask is doing this on purpose for us to see, and maybe not just for us. As the world's richest man, he is too high-profile and too flamboyant, and he is afraid that others don't know what he is doing every moment.]"

"Same thing with surveillance. It's completely unencrypted and unprotected, and is open to everyone to see. I believe... there's actually no need for a super AI like me. Any hacker with ulterior motives can easily monitor him 24 hours a day."

At that time, when Lin Xian heard VV's words, he couldn't help laughing:
"You don't even need a hacker, just follow his Twitter. He even posts private COS photos of his celebrity girlfriends for everyone to see, and he replies to messages from netizens very intensively. So, just following his Twitter account is enough to guess his daily schedule. This guy is really weird."

"But there are still places that cannot be monitored." The rigorous VV added:
"Besides private places like toilets and bathrooms...Jask's favorite place to go is the [Observation Tower] at the Starship Rocket Launch Center."

"This tower doesn't have any special function. It was built by Jask to observe rocket launches. It should be his personal VIP viewing spot. The structure of this tower is very simple. It's just a bunch of steel frames with an observation room on top."

"When Jask went to the tower, I had no way of monitoring him because there were no wires or electronic devices on the tower. And Jask often forgot to bring his phone... This was his bad habit, at least for me."

No need to doubt.

There must be something wrong with this Jask.

Lin Xian was sure of this.

On the one hand, he openly shows his privacy to everyone, and on the other hand, he often goes to a steel observation tower without any wires or electronic equipment. This is obviously a problem.

"Continue to monitor."

Lin Xian instructed VV:

"I hope he won't come and mess up when we capture space-time particles."

……

this matter.

This was also what Lin Xian had been worried about, the unknown dangers in this aerospace plane operation. At the same time, it was also the main reason why he didn't want Chu Anqing to participate in this operation.

Come to your senses.

He took a sip of water, looked at Chu Anqing, and continued:

"So, An Qing... I suggest you go back to the East China Sea. The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve, go home and celebrate the New Year with your family. We can handle things here. Don't think Gao Yang looks unreliable, that's because it's not the time for him to display his talent yet. He is really good at playing games. No matter what game he played since he was a child, he has no rivals... I believe that he can definitely use the robotic arm to catch the space-time particles."

"Leave everything here to us. You are only 19 years old and should not be involved in such dangerous things. I believe your father will be happy if you go back."

however……

Chu Anqing shook her head firmly:
"Senior Lin Xian, do you still remember what Teacher Liu Feng said to me when I first went to your laboratory at Donghai University?"

"Teacher Liu Feng said that people should not easily deny their own value. It's just that the time has not come for you to play a role yet."

"There must be something in this world that is prepared for you, born for you, and only you can do it."

"No one else can do this except you."

She blinked her eyes, clear and bright:
"I feel that capturing space-time particles is the most important thing in my life, the thing I must do and the thing I was born for.

"Didn't Coach Wei Cheng say that? He said I was a natural born astronaut. I was actually very happy to hear such praise! To be honest, I have been praised since I was a child. No matter what I do, there will be many people who praise me, including my father."

"Hey, do you remember the first time we met? At the celebration party for MX, my dad told everyone that I spoke as a representative of the freshmen at the opening ceremony of the military training and performed at the welcome party... He really showed off to everyone he met. In fact, these were just small achievements. And I really know that these things are not that great. The fundamental reason why others praised me, complimented me, and treated me well is only one-"

Chu Anqing raised her head and looked at Lin Xian:

"Because Chu Shanhe is my father, and I am Chu Shanhe's daughter."

"That's all... In everyone's eyes, I am Chu Shanhe's daughter, just Chu Shanhe's daughter."

She held the glass of water in both hands, rubbing it in her hands, but then smiled:
"But~ hey, the astronauts' story is different this time!"

Chu Anqing smiled beautifully, her two crescents better than the moonlight praised by Lin Xian, and her two dimples looming at the corners of her mouth, just like the twinkling stars in Tianshan Mountain, conveying the romance across the Milky Way:

"I was really good at this astronaut training! Sister Huang Que asked me to come, not because I am Chu Shanhe's daughter; Coach Wei Cheng praised me, not because I am Chu Shanhe's daughter, he doesn't even know who my father is; those centrifuges, rotating chairs, buoyancy pools... It's not because I am Chu Shanhe's daughter that made my scores so high!"

"You know what, Senior Lin Xian, I am really happy and joyful to be here. This is the first time in my life that I truly feel my own value, that others praise me not just because of my father, that I really have something amazing that I am good at, and that—"

She smiled, confident and proud:
"[I have my own name! My name is Chu An Qing!]"

……

Lin Xian looked at the little princess and felt that she was glowing under the incandescent light.

“Oh… that’s what I said.”

Chu Anqing's aura disappeared instantly. He scratched his hair and said embarrassedly:
"In fact, I don't know how I can help in this operation of capturing space-time particles. At present, Teacher Liu Feng and Coach Wei Cheng are responsible for driving the aerospace plane; Senior Gao Yang is responsible for operating the robotic arm; Senior Lin Xian is responsible for operating various equipment in the passenger cabin and equipment cabin, and doing auxiliary work; Sister Huang Que is the commander-in-chief of this operation; and I... Although I have been training all the time, I don't know what I can do. Sister Huang Que also said that I will just be responsible for logistics, which feels like an insignificant extra."

"So... don't take what I just said to heart, Senior Lin Xian. I was just saying nice things and showing off my ability. You are the ones who can really catch the space-time particles. I am just a handyman. To be honest... I don't know why Sister Huang Que asked me to come here. I don't understand many things."

"She, she is a riddle person."

Lin Xian complained:
"No one can understand what she says. I still haven't figured out the riddle she gave me last year. So you don't have to take what Huang Que says seriously at all. Just let it go in one ear and out the other and throw it in the trash can."

dong dong.

suddenly!

There was another sudden knock on the dormitory door behind the two of them!
The numbers on the electronic alarm clock jumped, turned into ToT, then disappeared and turned into normal time display.

Lin Xian and Chu Anqing looked at each other, both with question marks above their heads.

this late……

Who else would come to visit?

Are all the people in this base night owls?
"Who?"

Lin Xian asked.

"It's so late, why are the lights still on?"

Outside.

The sound of the oriole is coming!
Lin Xian and Chu Anqing's hearts were beating in their throats!
"Lin Xian..."

The sound of the oriole pierced through the door:
"Aren't you asleep yet?"
