Genius Club.

Chapter 445: Time Traveler (for the leader, Master Yin from Fengtian City!)
"Are you going to kill...the founder of Savior Company?"

Lin Xian asked.

According to his understanding, Gawain's target is most likely Miss Da Vinci, a member of the Genius Club who wears the Da Vinci mask.

After all, in this era, all cities are controlled and managed by mechanical bionic people. The root cause of this is the establishment of the Savior Company and the creation of millions of mechanical bionic people, which ultimately led to this suffocating future.

"No no no."

Gao Wen shook his head and denied Lin Xian's guess:

“Everyone in this world, even though they don’t like the oppressive personal rating system, actually has no complaints about the Savior Company.”

"Everyone knows that if the Savior Company had not prepared for the rainy day and used a large number of androids to help humans rebuild civilization, life would be even worse and even more miserable. It's hard to say whether human civilization would even exist."

"Even for me personally, I am more grateful than resistant to the Savior Company. I know that the Savior Company's original intentions are definitely good, and it has never done anything to harm humans... How could I repay kindness with enmity?"

Lin Xian blinked.

Emperor Gawain was indeed very sensible:
"Who is your target then?"

Gawain gritted his teeth and said firmly:

"He is the one who caused the super disaster in 2400. He is the only one who is the real culprit!"

"If there is no major disaster, human civilization will not regress, the population will not decrease, and mechanical bionic people will not replace humans to rule cities... None of this will happen."

"Given the technological development level of mankind in 2400, if there had not been that great disaster, we would have already flown out of the Earth, out of the solar system, and into the vast universe."

"This global disaster could not have been a natural disaster. From the fact that the Savior Company prepared the bionic humans in advance and activated them in a timely manner, we can see that some people knew that the disaster would happen."

"Then it goes without saying... this disaster must have been man-made."

Lin Xian nodded.

The conclusion is obvious.

"But didn't you say that we don't know who caused the great disaster in 2400? Even if you send the time killer back, how can you find the culprit behind it?"

"That's one of the reasons why I'm looking for space-time particles."

Gawain replied:

"[Big Face Cat's father and I both speculate that the super disaster in 2400 is likely to be caused by someone using space-time particles!]"

……

Gao Wen's words made Lin Xian fall into deep thought.

This.

It's really a brand new idea.

He had never figured out what kind of human ability could create a natural disaster that swept the world...

This in itself is very unscientific.

Human power is very weak in the face of nature.

Even if all nuclear weapons were detonated, humans would probably be extinct, but for the earth, it would be nothing more than a tickle.

You know, the energy released by any earthquake, volcanic eruption, or tsunami is dozens or hundreds of times that of the world's nuclear weapons.

The energy of geological activity is itself an astronomical figure that cannot be leveraged by human means.

Look at it this way.

The guesses made by Gao Wen and Big Face Cat's father do make sense.

"I understand."

Lin Xian said:

"I originally thought that you wanted to steal the space-time particles from Donghai City simply for the purpose of time travel, but I didn't expect that you would kill two birds with one stone."

"As long as you get the space-time particles, you can analyze the truth about the super disaster in 2400 through research, and then lock down the approximate range of the murderer. Then, consume the space-time particles to send the space-time killer back and kill the culprit."

suddenly.

Lin Xian thought of something.

In the fifth dream, Gawain was unable to carry out his research on the space-time shuttle due to the lack of space-time particles, so he chose to leave his notes and sleep in the hibernation cabin.

But now.

Emperor Gawain still did not obtain the space-time particles.

So how did he successfully develop the time machine?
Lin Xian directly asked his doubts:
"Could it be possible to bypass the problem of space-time particles by inventing a time-space shuttle? I have always felt that without space-time particles, there is absolutely no way to be self-consistent in theory and logic and create a time-space shuttle."

Speaking of which.

Gao Wen smiled and turned to look at the big-faced cat:
"That's why I said that Big Face's father, Chen Heping, is the real hero of the time-space shuttle..."

after that.

Gao Wen began to tell Lin Xian about the past events related to the time machine.

As time went on, Donghai City became strict and harsh. More and more people were expelled from the city, and their anger and resentment gathered together, and this city of sin began to take shape.

Unlike others.

Gawain left the city on his own initiative.

He does manage to follow all the rules, strictly discipline himself, and has enough plus points to maintain his personal rating.

but.

He didn't think such a city was right.

What’s more serious is… because everyone is afraid of making mistakes, a bad atmosphere has been created in all walks of life: “the more you work, the more mistakes you make; the less you work, the fewer mistakes you make; and if you do nothing, no mistakes are made.”

This is what Gao Wen least wants to see.

Everyone is afraid of losing points for doing something wrong, so they simply do nothing, just complete their own tasks, and don’t think or try anything else.

This is nothing in other industries.

But for the field of scientific research, it is a fatal blow!
The so-called scientific research means that it takes ten thousand mistakes to achieve one success, or even one hundred thousand or one million experiments to achieve one success.

This is all normal and necessary trial and error.

No scientific researcher is afraid of failure. They understand better than anyone that failure is the mother of success.

Of course, in Donghai City and all cities, failure in scientific research will definitely not result in a penalty, but... the social and universal oppression and constraints make people's innate drive and courage to make mistakes disappear.

Imagine.

A person who is afraid of losing points in life, dares not speak, dares not take risks, dares not make mistakes, dares not refute or resist, expects him to study hard for many years and graduate, and suddenly become a different person after coming to the laboratory, fearless of hardships, fearless of failure, bravely moving forward, and challenging authority...

is it possible?
This is absolutely unrealistic.

Gao Wen, who was doing research in Donghai City, encountered this kind of trouble.

All researchers and scientists are tied up and cautious, treating research only as a job to get paid, with no thought of breakthroughs and progress at all.

This is naturally related to the repressive life they have experienced since childhood.

Especially the young people who came out of school and came to the laboratory for internship. In Gao Wen's eyes, every one of them was dumbfounded, timid and cowardly, without any scientific research spirit at all.

He was disappointed.

Not only am I disappointed with Donghai City, but I am also disappointed with the future.

He could already think of it.

If human society continues like this, it will not only be a problem of stagnation in development, but sooner or later it will regress and degenerate due to the loss of vitality and courage.

Therefore, Gawain took the initiative to leave Donghai City and came to the nearby City of Sin.

Of course, he didn't think that all the people in Sin City were good people, but at least... the people here made him feel more like human beings, with more drive and motivation.

Here, he met Chen Heping, who was younger than him.

At that time, Chen Heping was only in his twenties, had not yet married, and had not given birth to Big-Faced Cat.

Chen Heping likes to study mathematics very much, and he and Gao Wen share the same ideas on many issues, especially the denial of the present future and the expectation for a better future... The two of them felt that they had known each other for too long, and they appreciated each other and became close friends.

Subsequently.

Gao Wen and Chen Heping set out to build a time machine, hoping to rewrite this terrible future by changing the past.

When Gao Wen was young, he had already conducted some "superficial" research on the time-space shuttle. The manuscript of "Theoretical Principles of Time-Space Shuttle and Concept of Building Time-Space Shuttle" was also in his hibernation cabin locker.

Although Gao Wen burned all the information he brought from hibernation after reading it, the information was still in his mind and it was easy for him to copy it out for Chen Heping to see.

"I have to say, Chen Heping is a genius."

Gao Wen said to Lin Xian with emotion:

"I have always felt that many theoretical principles can only be studied through space-time particles... Of course, at that time, we didn't know that this thing was called space-time particles. We just felt that it was reasonable to have such a thing. We only knew the name of space-time particles and their existence later."

"I continue to talk about Chen Heping. At that time, I encountered difficulties and got stuck in many places in my manuscript. The reason was the lack of space-time particles. There were many things that could not be concluded and concluded."

"But Chen Heping... spent several years calculating with only pen and paper, and actually worked out a lot of logic and formulas."

"I don't know if you understand this aspect, but he, he just deduced it like this. I really don't know how to describe this kind of genius."

Talking about Chen Heping.

Gao Wen's eyes were full of admiration, worship, longing, and reluctance:
"That's why I was able to completely perfect the theory of time travel and completely master the structure of the time travel machine without the existence of space-time particles."

"This is all thanks to Chen Heping... If it weren't for him, I would never be able to obtain space-time particles, and I would never be able to build a space-time shuttle."

"It's a pity that Heping died so early."

Speaking of it.

Gao Wen sighed regretfully and looked back at the big-faced cat:
"Big Face, your father is not only intelligent, but also very charismatic. Everyone in Sin City admires him very much, so they unanimously nominated him as the Godfather."

"It's a pity that he fell ill so suddenly. Before he died, he held my hand on the hospital bed and entrusted me with you, Sin City, and the future of mankind."

The big-faced cat also sighed:
"Uncle Gao, you've told me this so many times that my ears are numb."

……

Lin Xian patted Gao Wen on the shoulder to calm him down.

I can tell.

He and Chen Heping are really like soulmates who have found each other in the mountains and rivers.

In fact, it is understandable.

One of them is the "Emperor of the Universe" and the other is the "Great Master of the Great World". Ordinary geniuses are simply not in their eyes and cannot reach their level. Gao Wen and Chen Heping can meet in the eighth dreamland and do research together. It can be called a fateful encounter and the luck of human civilization.

This statement is not an exaggeration at all.

"Don't just brag about my dad, Uncle Gao."

Seeing Gao Wen's grief, the big-faced cat came over and comforted him:
"Didn't you say that your original manuscript was only missing a space-time particle? In fact, it's only a matter of time. Even if my father wasn't there, and we stole the space-time particle from Donghai City for you, wouldn't you still be able to build a space-time shuttle yourself?"

"For so many years, you've been praising my dad, and I can't stand it anymore. He's just a nerd, a violent nerd at that. He's always been known to beat me since I was a kid. I really don't think he's as awesome as you say he is."

"Bastard!"

Gao Wen kicked the big-faced cat on the butt:
"How can you talk about your own father like that! If you were one tenth as smart as your father, you would understand how talented he is!"

"And it's not just a matter of space-time particles. Your father's deduction corrects many [errors] in my previous manuscripts."

"I can only say that my previous manuscripts oversimplified the principles and theories of time travel. If your father hadn't corrected my mistakes and hadn't had his genius ideas... even if you gave me a hundred time particles, I wouldn't have been able to build a time machine!"

?

Wait a moment.

Lin Xian caught the key words in Gao Wen's words.

error.

There were mistakes in the previous manuscript!
hiss.

No wonder.

No wonder after handing the manuscript to Liu Feng, no changes in time and space occurred at all.

The error in the manuscript not only made Gao Wen mistakenly believe that time travel was simple, but also made Liu Feng mysteriously confident.

"I think... maybe there should be a breakthrough in a few years. In ten years, maybe we can build the most primitive version of a time-space shuttle."

This is what Liu Feng said at the time.

Now let’s see.

He was really too optimistic.

With that wrong manuscript in hand, he would not be able to create a time machine by copying it, let alone in ten or dozens of years, even in hundreds or thousands of years.

A wrong manuscript is bound to get stuck somewhere and come up with the wrong answer.

"Thank you Chen Heping."

Lin Xian clasped his hands together and recited silently.

Then he turned his head and looked at the big-faced cat:
"Thank you, Dad."

Big-faced cat scratches his head:

"Why does it sound weird?"

now.

Like Emperor Gawain, Lin Xian also admires his big-faced cat father to the core.

It is really like the God of Literature descending to earth, deducing everything with just a pencil.

It seems that for Cat Dad, there is no problem in the world that cannot be solved by a pencil; if there is, just get another pencil.

Although it took a long time, years, he always got the right answer in an extremely frugal way.

The cosmological constant 42 is also good.

The principle of time-space machine is also good.

For these problems that others cannot solve even with a laboratory building or a supercomputer, Cat Dad only needs a stack of rough paper.

Lin Xian walked to the other side of the huge time and space shuttle, walked around it, and admired this magnificent and great product.

hard to imagine……

Humans have actually created a device that is capable of traveling through time and space.

Although Lin Xian had known about time travel for a long time and had come into contact with time travelers, when he actually stood in front of the time machine, he couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

This is probably the epic of humanity’s indomitable spirit and strength.

He took a step back.

Observe the full view of the time and space shuttle.

This huge device is roughly a rectangular block.

Gao Wen introduced that the space at the back is full of stacked nuclear batteries in series, and the only critical part is the shuttle cabin at the front.

Lin Xian walked over to check.

That's a hard look to describe.

A cylindrical sealed cabin is fixed in the middle, surrounded by many concentric rings of different sizes. It is unclear what their specific functions are.

"A time traveler enters this cylindrical shuttle cabin and travels through time and space."

Gao Wen came over and introduced Lin Xian.

He patted the sealed cylinder that looked like it could fit two or three people:

"Before starting the time-space shuttle, the user must remove all metal objects from his body, lie down, and then close the cylinder lid."

"Then the machine starts, and the concentric rings on the outside will rotate around the cylinder, faster and faster, to compress energy into the space-time particles. When the energy reaches a critical value, the space-time particles will explode, and then send the people in the cylinder back to the past time and space."

"Can I try?"

Lin Xian said:

"I'm not really trying it, and I don't need to turn on the electricity. I just... want to lie down in it and see what it feels like."

He was really curious.

Because according to his plan, when Liu Feng manufactures the space-time shuttle in 2024, he will officially travel through time and space and consume the entangled space-time particle.

Now that the time machine is right in front of him, of course he can't help but be eager to try it out and want to experience it in advance.

"no problem."

Gao Wen directly opened the door of the cylindrical shuttle cabin and motioned Lin Xian to take off his shoes and climb in:

"Just get in there and lie down."

Lin Xian obeyed and crawled in headfirst. He lay flat on his back and looked at the dark cylinder wall:

"It feels... a little depressing."

“That’s what confined spaces are like.”

Gawain replied:

"Do you want me to close the door of this shuttle cabin for you so that you can have a more realistic experience?"

"It's really uncomfortable in the dark inside, but the time-space shuttle takes a long time to prepare. From lying down, closing the hatch, to the time-space shuttle officially starting, it takes about half an hour."

"During this time, you have to lie in there, unable to see or hear anything, just lying there, and unable to communicate with the outside world. This should be... the loneliest half an hour in your life."

Lin Xian closed his eyes:

"You can give it a try, but don't really lock me up for half an hour. Just experience it for a minute or two."

"clear."

After saying that, Gawain slammed the sealed door of the cylindrical shuttle cabin shut and tightened it.

This is the end.

There was no light in the shuttle cabin.

There is no sound,

The only sound left in the silence was Lin Xian's breathing.

If you hold your breath, you can even hear your own heartbeat.

It is exactly as Gao Wen said.

This feeling is very bad, as if being pulled out of time, space and the universe, not knowing where you are and having no sense of belonging.

“A sense of belonging.”

Lin Xian whispered the word.

Yes.

A time traveler is one who leaves his or her "home and hometown" and goes to an unfamiliar time and space and world.

What sense of belonging?
Of course he knew that in a minute, Gao Wen would open the hatch and he could go out and still stand in front of the familiar Big Face Cat, the third younger brother, and Xu Yiyi.

but……

Real time travelers are different. When they open their eyes again, they have already left their hometown and gone to a very far place.

Suddenly.

Lin Xian thought of Huang Que and Lin Yuxi.

Before the time machine was started, they must have spent a long half hour in this dark and silent environment, listening to their heartbeats and breathing alone.

"What are you two thinking about at this moment?"

Lin Xian closed his eyes.

From Lin Yuxi's words, Lin Xian could roughly guess what she was thinking.

At that time, she was unaware of many things and all she was thinking about was executing orders, completing tasks, and bringing herself to justice.

"Hey……"

Lin Xian sighed.

When I think of the blue snow covering Donghai City, I think of the yellow quercetin's blue eyes and blue earrings.

What about the oriole?
During this half hour of waiting for time travel...

What would the yellow bird be thinking?
