Genius Club.

Chapter 406 Congratulations on being shortlisted
"Fuck."

Lin Xian exclaimed.

Even if you are mentally prepared,

Even though I already knew that Emperor Gao Wen would not play low-end games,

but……

Lin Xian was still shocked when he saw this completely unexpected research result.

Emperor Gaowen.

But he never plays by the rules and is always able to predict Lin Xian's predictions.

In the fifth dream, when Lin Xian opened Gao Wen's notebook and thought that he had done some practical research similar to the hibernation chamber filling fluid...

Emperor Gawain came directly to the atmosphere and threw out "The Principle of Time and Space Machine" with his backhand.

Now in the sixth dream, when Lin Xian felt that he was about to come up with some fashionable, advanced theoretical research...

Emperor Gawain suddenly returned to his original nature, and without forgetting his original intention, he returned to the Hibernation School, and took out the [Amnesia] problem that countless eras and scientists had been unable to solve.

This is true genius, right?
Human history has undergone several great changes, but in fact, all of them can be traced back to Gao Wen’s research.

And myself...

It's just a hard-working little bee, a porter who works without regrets.

"Isn't it said that the side effect of amnesia caused by long-term hibernation is unavoidable? How come..."

talking.

Lin Xian suddenly reacted.

I misunderstood it.

The side effect of amnesia caused by long-term hibernation is indeed unavoidable.

Whether it's a child like Zheng Xiangyue, a genius like Emperor Gao Wen, or a time traveler like the blue-eyed girl...

In the face of the side effects of hibernation amnesia.

All beings are equal.

No matter who you are or what race you are, as long as you sleep in a hibernation chamber for more than ten years, you will inevitably lose your memory; and as the hibernation time continues to increase, as well as personal physical factors... when the hibernation time exceeds 20 years, there is a high probability that all memories will be lost, the brain will be formatted, and everything will be blank.

It is a consensus among all scientific communities that amnesia will definitely occur.

but……

【Who says lost memories can't be restored? 】

Emperor Gawain never disappoints.

While others were only thinking about using notebooks and videotapes to store more memories... Emperor Gawain had already gone off the beaten track and started researching the art of restoring memories.

Lin Xian held the notebook with great respect, looking at the last word in the handwritten preface -

Cranial nerve shock helmet.

This thing sounds very vivid, just like a magic lightning weapon specifically used to treat Internet addiction. It is roughly a helmet-shaped device that can be buckled on the head, and then releases electric current to shock the brain to restore memory.

Lin Xian is not clear about the specific principle.

However, judging from the name of this device, it should be similar to my guess.

Lin Xian turned his head and looked at Gao Wen:

"Brother Gawain, since you have researched this kind of thing, why don't you announce it? Even if you don't announce it... at least keep one for yourself. Then when you wake up from the hibernation chamber, we can put a helmet on you and shock you, so that you can recover your original memory, right?"

"This invention is so amazing that I can't even imagine it. Once the biggest side effect of the hibernation chamber is overcome, hibernation will become a time travel with zero cost and no risk. The last bit of fear that people have about hibernation will also disappear... I'm afraid hibernation will really become a social norm."

"But how does your device restore lost memories? Are there any restrictions on its use?"

Facing Lin Xian’s admiration.

Gao Wen shook his head in confusion:

"I don't know? I don't know much about this matter, this brain nerve electric shock helmet... This is the first time I've seen it today, so I may not know as much as you do. You asked me such a professional question, I'm sure I can't answer it."

"I don't understand. Since I had already developed such a magical product before hibernation, why didn't I just announce it?"

With doubts in mind, the two opened the cover of the notebook.

Find……

There was actually a plastic-sealed handwritten letter between the title pages.

Judging from the handwriting, it was written by the same person as the one on the cover. So it goes without saying that this letter should be a handwritten letter from Gawain before hibernation to himself after hibernation.

"Can I take a look?"

Lin Xian consulted Gao Wen's opinion, after all, this was Gao Wen's privacy.

"sure."

Gao Wen had no real feeling at all and said casually:

"Let's watch it together."

Get permission.

Lin Xian picked up the plastic-sealed handwritten letter, placed it in front of the two of them, and read the words on it together -

[My future self, long time no see:

When you see this letter, you must have just woken up from the hibernation cabin, your mind is blank, and you don’t know who you are or where you are.

As for who you are, you can check other notebooks and video recordings, which contain detailed records that will let you understand everything about being Gawain...that is, me who is writing to you now, you in the past, Gawain.

Since we were young, we have been particularly interested in hibernation capsules. The romance and epic feeling of humans relying on technology to resist fate and cross the long river of time often fascinates us every night.

From then on, we decided that when we grew up, we would devote ourselves to the research in the field of hibernation and make our own contribution.

However, when we grew up, we sadly discovered that the hibernation chamber technology had been developed and matured in 200 years because of its early development. The latest hibernation chamber had almost no adverse effects on the body except for the unavoidable side effect of amnesia. So... in the field of technology, there was no need to continue research.

At that moment, we were confused and didn't know where our lives should go. We had briefly dabbled in the field of mathematics and studied cosmological constants. We were also curious about the idea of ​​time travel, but we only tried it briefly.

But after going around in circles in these fields, we still can't let go of our obsession, curiosity, and yearning for hibernation technology.

It's an indescribable feeling, as if... somehow, we always feel close to the hibernation chamber and everything about hibernation technology, and always feel that our life's energy and talent should be applied in this field.

Professor Xu Yun, the father of hibernation, is our most respected scientist. We are deeply sorry for his unfortunate death. Otherwise... perhaps we would still have a chance to witness this great man who came back from hibernation in the 23rd century.

Since we are so obsessed, why don’t we stand on the shoulders of giants and see higher and farther?

We were born at the end of the 2182nd century, in . At that time, the hibernation academic community unanimously believed that the side effect of amnesia was inevitable; many talented scientists spent their entire lives trying, but failed to achieve anything in avoiding amnesia and maintaining memory.

This is a stagnant field, a research path with no hope, but maybe... we can give it a try!
The side effect of amnesia caused by long-term hibernation is indeed inevitable. This is a defect in the structure of the human brain and cannot be changed. But... can we think from another angle and try to restore the lost memory after waking up from hibernation?
In this world, there is no hard drive that can be absolutely wiped clean, and no drawing board that can be absolutely wiped clean. Wild geese leave traces when they pass by, and the wind leaves sounds when it passes by... As long as anything exists, it will definitely leave traces. Naturally, this also includes memory.

Are lost memories really lost? Or are they just dormant, hidden, or temporarily blocked?
I tried to start from brain science and neurology, and studied the whole theory on my own. I felt that the idea of ​​using electric current to reactivate brain memory is logically and scientifically feasible.

but……

The problem is...

In the 23rd century in which I live, brain neurology research is too backward, and no key breakthroughs have been made in nearly two hundred years.

I have already manufactured the cranial nerve electric shock helmet Unit-01, but due to the lack of support and guidance from the cranial nerve field on key parameters, my experiment is stuck at the last step and cannot move forward.

So, I made a big decision.

With this research result, I went into a hibernation chamber and waited until a key breakthrough was made in the field of brain neurology. Then I woke up from the chamber and continued my research on electric shock helmets and restoring memories lost during hibernation.

If my estimate is optimistic enough... the year you are reading this letter now, is it 23XX? It can't be 24XX, right? I think it shouldn't be later... It can't be that there has been no progress in the field of brain neurology for more than 200 years, right?

This is indeed a sad thing. It is only because the genius scientist in the field of brain neurology, Ms. Du Yao, died in the middle of the 21st century while working in a peacekeeping aid mission in Africa... Otherwise, why would we have to wait hundreds of years?
If Ms. Du Yao had escaped death, with her intelligence and extraordinary talent, she might have been able to make a key breakthrough in the field of brain neurology in the 21st century. In that case, I would naturally not need to hibernate and move towards the future, and you would not need to have a blank brain to read this letter.

There is no way... There is a saying that goes, the emergence of an Einstein is indeed better than hundreds of outstanding scientists; history makes heroes, but geniuses create history. Perhaps in the next 200 years, there will never be another [Ms. Du Yao] to fill this research gap for us... That will be the sadness of human civilization.

I sincerely hope that when you wake up, humans have made a key breakthrough in the field of brain nerves. In that case, you don't need to think too much, just follow the instructions and complete the brain nerve electric shock helmet Unit 01 according to the contents of the notebook, and then... boldly put it on, start it, and retrieve your lost memories.

By then, you will naturally understand everything we have been through and... the future we look forward to.

So far, all the best.

Gawain.

Written in the East China Sea in November 2219. 】

……

"I see."

After reading this long handwritten letter, Lin Xian finally understood what happened to Gao Wen.

Emperor Gaowen.

Born in 2182.

He has been interested in hibernation technology since he was a child, and he also devoted himself to related research when he grew up. In this life, Emperor Gao Wen was not tempted by the cosmological constant or the time-space shuttle, but instead devoted himself to the research of "Cranial Neural Electric Shock Helmet Unit-01".

He hopes to use this to overcome the side effect of hibernation and amnesia.

But the research got stuck at the last step...

In the field of brain nerves, humans have not made any key breakthroughs in hundreds of years since the death of Ms. Du Yao.

Therefore, Emperor Gao Wen decided to "trade time for space", "believe in the future of mankind", and "believe that in a few hundred years, a second Ms. Du Yao will appear to fill the gap in the field of upper brain nerves."

such.

After Gawain wakes up from the hibernation cabin.

You don't need to think so much.

Just follow the instructions in the notebook and create the "Brain Nerve Electric Shock Helmet Unit-01".

After it is built.

Buckle on your head.

Start, shock, and then restore memory.

Plan passes.

The Gawain of the past and the Gawain of the future merge into one, and the memories merge into one, completing a closed loop across time and space.

have to say……

Gao Wen's "Support the Future" plan is bold, thoughtful, and comprehensive.

Unfortunately.

Bad luck.

Before 2400, there was obviously no other neuroscientist as talented as Ms. Du Yao, so no key breakthroughs were made in the neuroscience field, and there was naturally no need for Gawain to wake up.

Then in 2400, a super disaster broke out on Earth.

Human civilization is nearly destroyed.

An underground hibernation base like the one where Gao Wen is located is completely out of control, and how long one can survive depends on one's own ability.

Gao Wen is also lucky...

Finally, he was dug out by Big Face Cat and his gang in 2621, and inexplicably dug the soil in the Mountain Cat Tribe for three years.

While Lin Xian was sorting out Gao Wen's life, the clever Gao Wen naturally also understood the cause and effect from this letter.

Although he had no sense of reality and his memories were not connected.

But the content of the letter is still understandable.

“It turns out that I am really a scientist…”

He muttered:

"He is also a scientist who studies how to recover memories lost in hibernation."

After saying this, Gawain laughed at himself:

"Fate really plays tricks on us. Who would have thought that a scientist who was researching memory recovery would lose his memory during hibernation? Moreover, he has been digging in the soil here for three years without even knowing who he is or what he should do."

"It's not too late."

Lin Xian handed the notebook to Gao Wen and encouraged him:

"Take a quick look at the notes you wrote down before. Do you have any impressions or inspirations?"

Gao Wen took the notebook.

Turn back.

Behind it are various manufacturing drawings, mechanical principles, models of minute parts, etc.

The records are very detailed and can be regarded as step-by-step teaching.

It can be seen that before hibernation, Gawain had already considered that he would forget everything after waking up, so before the cranial nerve electric shock helmet was made, he strictly followed the notes and proceeded step by step.

After the helmet was built and the electric shock restored his memory, the former Gawain returned.

"Do you understand?"

Lin Xian asked.

Gawain shook his head without hesitation:
"I can't understand it at all."

Lin Xian was not surprised.

This is not the fault of Emperor Gao Wen.

He has no memory and has not received re-education, so it is normal that he cannot understand.

"Do you understand?"

Gao Wen raised his head, looked at Lin Xian, and handed him the notebook:
"You know something I don't, why don't you try?"

"Row."

Lin Xian took the notebook:
"Let me try."

He began to read it again from the beginning. With the detailed records and explanations, Lin Xian didn't find it difficult to understand.

Of course, I still don’t understand when I come across professional stuff.

But he felt that the ideas and processes for answering questions could be completely replicated in his own Rhine laboratory!

But...what's the point of making this electric shock helmet?
There is no key Ms. Du Yao,

There have been no major breakthroughs in the field of brain neurology.

Even if a helmet is built, it cannot be used, and it cannot restore the hibernator's memory.

"so……"

Lin Xian held his chin and thought:
"If you really want to master this technology, you still have to find Ms. Du Yao in real life."

"Du Yao..."

He chanted the name.

It really feels very familiar.

That's right.

It doesn't sound familiar, but it looks familiar.

I always feel like I've seen this name somewhere, but now I can't remember where it is...

When and where did you see this name?

Lin Xian scratched his hair.

No clue whether to live or die.

Logically speaking, given his life trajectory, he shouldn't have to know a neuroscientist.

Forget it.

After waking up from the dream, check this name on the Internet.

If this person is really a genius scientist as Gao Wen wrote in the letter, then some information can definitely be found.

Journal articles, academic reports, etc.

Anyway...

This manuscript of "Brain Nerve Electric Shock Helmet" still needs to be copied out and given away. We have to take advantage of this opportunity.

In a sense.

This may be something more important than a micro-nuclear battery, as important as a time machine, and enough to completely change the world.

"It seems that Turing will live a few more days."

Lin Xian found a seat and sat down, then began to recite the contents of his notebook.

According to his original plan.

Maybe after waking up from the dream, he planned to complete the second question of the Genius Club, perform a great historical correction, and eliminate Turing in 2024.

Then you can proceed to answer the third question.

Joining the Genius Club as soon as possible before July 7 is the top priority right now.

He estimated the thickness of the notebook and his recitation speed. A simple division...

It would take at least half a month to twenty days to copy the manuscript of "Brain Nerve Electric Shock Helmet" back to the real world.

"Time is so tight."

Lin Xian couldn't help but frown.

Only after he finished copying this manuscript could he see the third test question of the Genius Club, but by then, there would only be a dozen days left until his own death anniversary on July 7.

It’s only been a dozen days...

Is there really enough time to complete the third question and join the genius club?
Will we not repeat the same mistakes?
“We can only speed up.”

Lin Xian made up his mind.

From now on, don't do anything else during this period of time. Just concentrate and try your best to memorize the manuscript quickly, and try to complete the copying within ten days.

In this way, I still have more than 20 days to answer the third question, which should be enough time.

"Without further ado, let's get started."

……

……

In the next few days, Lin Xian returned to the state of collecting wool, like a hardworking little bee, constantly moving the manuscripts of Emperor Gawain.

this day.

He prepared lunch.

Just about to finish my meal, go to bed, fall asleep, and go about my business.

But suddenly——

Beep beep beep! Beep beep beep!
The cell phone beeped urgently.

This is the first time Lin Xian has heard this kind of alarm... What is it reminding him of?

He picked up the phone.

I saw a pop-up window I had never seen before.

The parent-side APP of Xiaotiancai’s phone watch is sending out reminders like crazy:

"Yan Qiaoqiao has left the electronic fence!"

"Yan Qiaoqiao has left the electronic fence!"

……

The alarms kept ringing, and Lin Xian felt like his phone was about to explode.

He turned off the reminder.

Then he immediately opened the APP to check Yan Qiaoqiao's location.

I thought I would see a direction closer to me.

But I didn't expect it.

The map shows that Yan Qiaoqiao's location has indeed left the electronic fence and is moving away from the city at a very fast speed.

Away from the city?

Where is this going?
Lin Xian zoomed out the map and looked in the direction Yan Qiaoqiao was moving, which was towards the university town.

"University town... Donghai University?"

Lin Xian narrowed his eyes.

Why did Yan Qiaoqiao go to Tunghai University?

Could it be that……

"laboratory?"

Lin Xian suddenly realized:
"Rhine Laboratory! Small refrigerator! Entangled space-time particles!"

broken.

Isn't Yan Qiaoqiao going for that entangled space-time particle?

According to Lin Xian’s previous speculation...the way Yan Qiaoqiao recovered her memory was most likely related to space-time particles!

Although this is just irresponsible speculation.

But at this moment, it is definitely better to have less trouble than more.

Entangled space-time particles are very mysterious things in themselves. If some strange reaction really occurs with Yan Qiaoqiao, causing her memory to recover and turn into Lin Yuxi...

Then you will be miserable.

Don’t let yourself not make it through July 7th, or you’ll be laughed at.

"Hey, it's really not easy to worry about."

Lin Xian had no choice but to go out.

Go downstairs.

Take a taxi.

Go to Tunghai University Rhein Joint Laboratory.

……

the other side.

Inside Tunghai University.

The Alpha business car stopped in front of the gate of the laboratory building, the electric rear door opened, Yan Qiaoqiao jumped out lightly, and Zhao Yingjun, wearing sunglasses, followed behind.

"I finally have a day off, and you're talking about going out to play... but you actually chose a place like this."

Zhao Yingjun pushed up his sunglasses, looked at the sign of "Tunghai University Rheinland Joint Laboratory" in front of him, and then looked down at Yan Qiaoqiao:
"What's so fun about a place like this? Could it be that... you're also a science and engineering girl? Do you like places with equipment, machines, beakers, and test tubes?"

Yan Qiaoqiao shook her head.

He extended his right index finger and pointed to the laboratory with the open window on the second floor:

"Brother Liu Feng is in there. He can guide you in dating."

"what?"

Zhao Yingjun couldn't hold it in any longer:
"You said you wanted to come and play with Liu Feng, but it was just for this?"

Yan Qiaoqiao nodded.

Looking at Zhao Yingjun sincerely:
"I want you to fall in love with Brother Lin Xian."

"Mind your own business!"

Zhao Yingjun sighed and rubbed his temples:

"Don't you think you're too nosy? If you really feel like you have too much free time to do every day, maybe I should sign you up for some interest classes to use up your energy."

"Besides... am I starving you or doing you a disservice? Why do you always think about Lin Xian when you have nothing to do every day?"

Yan Qiaoqiao took out the palm-sized photo frame from her pocket.

Inside was a family portrait shot at Disneyland, with Lin Xian, Zhao Yingjun and Yan Qiaoqiao in it.

Zhao Yingjun narrowed his eyes:
"You still carry it with you?"

Yan Qiaoqiao nodded:

“I’m afraid I’ll lose it.”

Zhao Yingjun was somewhat speechless:
"If you carry it with you, it will be easier to lose it, right?"

"Oh... never mind."

She chose to give up the brain circuit connection with Yan Qiaoqiao.

If they didn't look alike.

Zhao Yingjun really doubted whether Yan Qiaoqiao was her biological daughter. Every day she had this kind of leaping, random, and self-righteous train of thought... Who did she inherit it from?

"never mind."

Zhao Yingjun followed Yan Qiaoqiao and walked into the laboratory building:
"Since we're here, let's go up and take a look. I've heard Lin Xian mention Liu Feng before, but I've never actually seen him once."

"By the way...what kind of person is Liu Feng?"

Yan Qiaoqiao walked up the stairs while tilting her head and thinking:

"【Strange person.】"

"weirdo?"

Zhao Yingjun frowned slightly:
"Qiaoqiao, you can't describe your elders like this, it's too rude."

"Liu Feng is a scientist. The reason you find it strange is probably because his steadiness, composure, and calmness are different from those of us ordinary people... But those high-IQ scholars are like this."

"So... don't talk nonsense later. Respect scientists, okay?"

"Oh."

Yan Qiaoqiao nodded obediently and pointed to an open laboratory on the second floor:

"right here."

Zhao Yingjun politely knocked on the open door and walked in with Yan Qiaoqiao.

Liu Feng, who was busy inside, raised his head.

Looking at Zhao Yingjun with doubt:
"You are……?"

Zhao Yingjun smiled:

"Hello Liu Feng, my name is Zhao Yingjun, and I'm Lin Xian's friend. I don't know... if he has mentioned it to you."

Zhao... Yingjun?
"Oh oh oh!"

Liu Feng let out a goose cry and suddenly realized:
"Zhao Yingjun! You finally came!"

"what?"

Zhao Yingjun was slightly stunned and didn't understand what was happening.

Liu Feng rushed to the blackboard with great excitement, scanning the arithmetic progression written on it one by one:
Yan Qiaoqiao (14 years old), Chu Anqing (20 years old), Su Su (23 years old), Nangong Mengjie (26 years old), Huang Que (estimated to be less than 30 years old).

He picked up the eraser.

Under Zhao Yingjun's puzzled gaze, he erased Nangong Mengjie's name and wrote the three words Zhao Yingjun instead.

boom.

He tapped the blackboard with his eraser:
"That's true."

"Like what?" Zhao Yingjun couldn't keep up with the rhythm at all.

"Congratulations, Zhao Yingjun."

Liu Feng looked at Zhao Yingjun with a slightly approving look:
"Congratulations... you have been shortlisted for the arithmetic progression!"
