Genius Club.

Chapter 481 Your Sea of ​​Stars
Lin Xian took a step forward and hugged Zhao Yingjun.

"actually……"

He said softly:
“I hesitated, too.”

"When I first heard the news, all I could think about was you and Yu Xi. I also thought that I would just get infected with the virus, stay in this era, and do my best to save the world..."

Zhao Yingjun shook his head:

"I wouldn't blame you if you really didn't tell me about this."

"It's just that... if this is the case, Huang Que's sacrifice would have been in vain, and Chu Anqing's jumping from a plane at an altitude of 20,000 meters to capture the space-time particle for you would also be meaningless."

"If we had long wanted to give up saving the future and ignore the white light of destruction... why did we wait until now to give up?

“If you want to give up, you can give up at any time. It’s not difficult at all. It’s just a matter of convincing yourself. The hardest thing is to persist despite the hardships and sacrifices.”

"I can't bear to leave you either, Lin Xian."

She buried her head in Lin Xian's chest and hugged him tightly:
"But... in this world, there are always some things that only you can do, only you can accomplish, and no one can replace you."

"Yu Xi lacks your company, but I can make up for it. I won't let her lack love more than any other child. Even without your support, I will work hard to run MX Company, Rhine Company, and Shanhe Group well, and Brother Wang and the others will assist me."

"But, when it comes to saving the future of mankind and stopping the white light from destroying the world, no one can replace you... I am very reluctant to see you go, but your existence and your ability are a miracle in themselves. I don't want this miracle, the only hope of saving everything, to end with me."

Lin Xian and Zhao Yingjun were very close.

He could feel that the little Yuxi in his belly seemed to be much more obedient than before. She must have fallen asleep again, and the heat that was warmer than her skin was transmitted to her through her thin pajamas.

"I hope... Yu Xi won't blame me."

Lin Xian's voice was a little hoarse:

"Yu Xi may not understand or accept the choices we make from an adult's perspective."

"Don't worry, Lin Xian."

Zhao Yingjun said:
"I will educate her well."

"Parents are the best teachers for their children, and the best education is to teach by example. Our Yuxi will definitely become a brave, strong, and responsible girl like you."

"She will be our pride, just like you...always our pride."

Lin Xian let go of Zhao Yingjun and looked into her slightly hazy but resolute eyes:
"I will go back to Hangzhou in the next two days and tell my parents about this decision. I know my parents very well. They have small-scale peasant ideas. Although it is difficult for them to accept it at first, they will definitely understand it in the end."

"Especially my father. If he knew what I was going to do... he would definitely support me. He is just that kind of person and he has taught me that since I was a child."

"As for your parents..."

Zhao Yingjun rubbed his eyes.

Smiled:
"You don't have to worry about my parents. Although there will definitely be some fussing, I'm not a child anymore. This is a matter between the two of us, and it's also our decision."

She raised her head and looked at Lin Xian:

"[My man, I have the final say.]"

……

Tunghai University, Rheinland Joint Laboratory.

"Yeah."

After listening to Lin Xian's story, Liu Feng rubbed his nose:

"Although I knew she would say the same thing and make the same decision as Huang Que, but when I heard you retell these words... I still felt very respectful and emotional."

"You two have sacrificed too much for the whole world and for the future of mankind."

"That's not the way to put it."

Lin Xian said:

"There are many people working hard for the future. From the perspective of sacrifice, whether it is Huang Que, Chu Shanhe or Chu Anqing, they have sacrificed far more than Zhao Yingjun and I."

"So, even if we are reluctant and sad, we still have to keep going on this path. Otherwise, it will be just like what Zhao Yingjun said. If we give up now, Huang Que, Chu Anqing, and many, many others... will all have sacrificed their lives in vain."

Liu Feng looked at Lin Xian and was silent for a while.

He bowed his head and said:

"I actually feel very sorry. I have spent so much time researching the secret and truth of the cosmological constant, but I still haven't figured out the secret and truth of the cosmological constant. Even though I know that the result is 42, it is meaningless to just know the result, and I don't know how to use 42."

"If I had been able to thoroughly study the cosmological constant 42 earlier... perhaps our current situation would not have come to this point."

Lin Xian shook his head:
"It's not your fault, Liu Feng. You've helped me so much. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known that there were space-time particles in the world, nor would I have been able to catch them, let alone join the Genius Club through the Space-Time Clock."

"You are the person who has helped me the most in this world. I am very grateful to you and I am glad that you are willing to hibernate with me into the future."

Liu Feng chuckled and pushed Lin Xian:
"You are being too polite. You saved my life. The last card Qiqi wrote to me said... let me go with you. You are my shooting star, coming just for me, taking me back to the brighter starry sky."

"No matter in which era we wake up, I will still do my best to study the cosmological constant 42 for you."

"By taking multiple approaches, I believe we can figure out all the secrets and the truth. Not only can we rescue Chu Anqing, but we can also save the future of mankind and let mankind truly see the sun of a new day."

"But... well, how should I put it, there are still some regrets."

He turned his head and looked at the "arithmetic progression" written on the blackboard. It was the names of the girls who had been to this laboratory, arranged in order of age difference.

Yan Qiaoqiao, (empty), Chu Anqing, Su Su, Zhao Yingjun, Huang Que.

"The arithmetic progression is still not complete."

Liu Feng said regretfully.

For a moment, Lin Xian didn't know whether to laugh or cry:
"I'm still thinking about your arithmetic progression. I never thought it would become your regret."

Liu Feng walked to the blackboard and pointed to the spot between Yan Qiaoqiao and Chu Anqing’s names:

"There should be a 17-year-old girl in this place, but... in all this time, there has never been a girl of this age coming to the laboratory."

"It seems that this time, the arithmetic progression is really going to be a pity."

He closed his eyes.

Spread your five fingers and press them against the blackboard:
"Will the final arithmetic progression be completed in the future?"

"Wipe it off."

Lin Xian said:

"There should be no chance of completion."

"Pack up the materials in the next two days, and then we'll go to the Imperial Capital. I've already contacted the Dragon Science Institute, and they'll provide us with the latest hibernation chamber. Yingjun also plans to give birth in the Imperial Capital, so... we can spend more time together, until the early morning of April 4."

"You don't have to worry about the lab. Zhao Yingjun will take care of everything, including MX Company, Rhine Company, Shanhe Group, and other research institute laboratories... Zhao Yingjun will take care of them all. She will spend her whole life paving the way for us and wait for us to wake up."

After that, he looked at his watch and walked out of the laboratory:
"Then I'll go first. I have an appointment with Jasker to meet at the Tesla Gigafactory."

Liu Feng was stunned:
"Jask is going to hibernate with us too?"

"Correct."

Lin Xian nodded:
"He is also a man with ideals and beliefs. He does not want to die in this era and wants to go to the future with us to witness all this."

Liu Feng hummed:
"That's good. When we wake up in the future, the world around us will be completely unfamiliar. Everyone we know will die during the 200-year virus period. If we can have an extra companion... that would be even better."

"Don't worry, Liu Feng."

Lin Xian walked to the door and turned around:

"We have more companions than you think."

"This is also what makes me feel warm... There are still many idealists in this world. Fortunately, there are many such people around us."

……

Donghai, Lingang New Area, Tesla Gigafactory.

"Um……"

Jask and Angelica listened to Lin Xian's detailed story. Jask rubbed his chin:

"I see. I never thought that the ordinary and dull-witted Gauss actually had such a big plan. However, I feel that Gauss really made up his mind to carry out this plan not long ago."

"Why do you say that?" Lin Xian asked.

"Because Gauss had asked many, many questions before, each of which was very diverse and involved various fields."

Jask spread his hands:

"If Gauss had only asked questions about viruses and immunity at the party, we would have guessed it long ago, but in fact, he must have thought of many other plans in the past few years, but perhaps none of them worked out, so he finally chose to suppress the hibernation virus."

Lin Xian didn't say anything.

Recalling that in the previous eight dreams, there was no hibernation-suppressing virus at all. This is a historical event unique to the ninth dream.

So...

The time when Gauss really made this decision and determined to achieve fairness in life and death should be after he joined the Genius Club.

Could it be that something I did had affected his determination?

Think about it.

The biggest change after joining the Genius Club was the successive deaths of club members.

First it was Kevin Walker and Turing, then Jask’s faked death, then Copernicus, then Leonardo da Vinci.

Considering the timing, if it was really the death of a genius that made Gauss make up his mind, it must have been Copernicus.

Could it be that after Copernicus' death, Newton asked whether there would be other scientists dying at 00:42, and got a negative answer... and then Gauss suddenly got it?

It's possible.

Lin Xian thought.

If Copernicus had been given a hibernation chamber and the chance to survive for hundreds of years, he would have continued to murder scientists and mathematicians.

But because of his death, the killing stopped, and in Gauss's opinion, this should be a happy event. Therefore, he made up his mind to inject the virus, let equal death come to the world, and return the most equal link since the birth of mankind to the world.

"Are you sure Gauss himself also injected himself with the virus?" Angelica asked.

"should be."

Lin Xian nodded:
"If Gauss really pursued equality, he shouldn't have given himself special treatment or left a backdoor."

Angelica folded her arms and leaned against the door:
"If that's the case, then Gauss is a man who keeps his word."

"Actually, after listening to what you said, I don't have any opinion on Gauss. First of all, I personally agree with his point of view that everyone's equal death is indeed the most normal form of society. Secondly, since he set an example by infecting himself with the virus and dying according to normal natural laws... he is indeed a principled person. This is true equality."

Jask clapped his hands and interrupted the two people's chat:
"Anyway, now that things have come to this, I think Lin Xian's plan is feasible. After all, only by avoiding the 200 years when the virus takes effect and going into the future can we have more possibilities, rather than just dying in regret a few decades later."

"My thoughts are still the same as before I came here. I want to hibernate with Lin Xian. But I have my own hibernation base, so I won't be physically together with you. See you in 2234."

"Angelica, are you still planning as before?"

Angelica nodded and looked at Lin Xian:

"Jask and I have already discussed it. He will go into hibernation, and I will take over SPACE-T and his other businesses."

"During these 200 years, you have been sleeping, but someone outside has to take care of the foundation for you 200 years from now. So that when you wake up in 2234, you will have the corresponding strength to fight against the enemy." "After I was infected with the virus, I will definitely not live to see you in 2234. I can only pray that I can find a good family, give birth to a few excellent children, continue to run SPACE-T, and wait for Jask to wake up and take over directly."

"Don't blame me if it goes bankrupt, Jask. There are countless great companies in this world that were glorious but went bankrupt in an instant. This is how the times are. The king's power is not eternal, and neither is the richest man."

"Hahahahahaha!"

After hearing this, Jask laughed heartily:
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."

He waved his hand:

"Believe me, Angelica, I've had my share of ups and downs in my life, and I've been on the verge of bankruptcy several times... Even if I wake up in 2234 and become a pauper with nothing, it won't stop me from becoming the richest man in the world again! Do you believe it?"

"I do not believe."

Angelica replied coldly:

"If I can really make you the richest man in the world, then have humans been living off their parents for the past 200 years? Do you think technology hasn't developed in the past 200 years?"

"The little knowledge you have will probably be covered by elementary school textbooks in 200 years."

“If 200 years from now, the knowledge we learn in universities is still the same as it is now, then there will be a big problem in this world.”

however.

Jask didn't care and shook his head:

"So what? At worst, I can just start learning again from elementary school! No one is more eager for the development of science and technology than me. I will always keep the heart of an apprentice."

Lin Xian interrupted the two and walked up to Angelica:
"Then Angelica, I'll trouble you with what happened in the past 200 years. We'll meet in the imperial capital later. You and Zhao Yingjun can meet and get to know each other. From now on...she will be one of the few companions you have in this era."

"All my affairs in China will be handled by Zhao Yingjun. Of course, I have other friends as well, but if you have any difficulties, just contact her directly. She is very good and capable, and can help you with all kinds of things."

After that, he waved and left:

"I should go to the next place."

……

Donghai, Institute of Neuroscience, affiliated to Longke Academy.

Lin Xian sat on a chair and looked at Du Yao who was busy at the lab table:
"The work on the cranial nerve electric shock helmet has been completed, but the Dragon Science Institute has to wait eight years to confirm that the product is effective before it can be released... I didn't expect this."

"But don't worry about the patent fees I promised you before. I will pay you in other ways. I am still quite rich at the moment, and I plan to hibernate. No one knows whether the world will have inflation in 200 years. There is no point in keeping too much money, so I will pay you in advance."

"This is what I promised you before I brought you back from Africa. I will give you enough money to realize your dreams and ambitions. So...what are your plans next? Are you going back to Africa?"

Du Yao nodded without hesitation:
"I will definitely go back. This is what we agreed on at the beginning. My boyfriend died there, and it is also where I realized my life value. I want to save one more person within my power. Even if I can save one more person... I will feel very relieved."

Lin Xian stood up.

Go to the opposite side of the lab bench:
"I don't mean to stop you. I just want to say that your talent is far beyond your imagination. Just like the success of the cranial nerve electric shock helmet this time, you should also be able to realize it, right? You are a super genius that is rare in hundreds of years... I think that in this world, in this time and space, there are more important responsibilities and missions waiting for you, rather than just providing humanitarian aid in the small world of Africa."

Du Yao turned her head and smiled:
"Lin Xian, you are joking. Africa is not small. It is the second largest continent on earth."

Lin Xian smiled slightly:
"But compared to hundreds of years of time, billions of human lives, and the continuation of Earth's civilization...Africa in 2025 is really too small."

"Du Yao, if you were just an ordinary scholar or an ordinary person, I wouldn't tell you this. But you are really different. You have talents and abilities far beyond ordinary people. There are people in Africa right now waiting for you to save them, but... in the distant future, there will also be more people, and even the survival of the human race, waiting for you to save them."

"This is not a trolley problem about which is more important, the present or the future, but... a friend of mine once told me that the meaning of genius lies in responsibility and mission. Since we have wisdom and talents that others cannot match, we should do things that others cannot do."

"Believe me, I am not lying to you, nor am I exaggerating. If you really want to join my plan, then come to this place before April 4th."

As he spoke, Lin Xian put down a piece of paper with a secret address written on it:

"I'll tell you more when the time comes."

……

Afterwards, Lin Xian went to find Chu Shanhe again and explained the impending outbreak of the hibernation-suppressing virus, as well as his and Zhao Yingjun's plans.

Chu Shanhe was very shocked by Lin Xian and Zhao Yingjun's determination. At the same time, he admired the two young people even more:

"I understand. Xiuying and I will go to the Dragon Academy as soon as possible and complete hibernation before April 4th."

……

At last.

Lin Xian came to the auto city and found Gao Yang in the manager's office of the 4S store.

"what?"

Gao Yang widened his eyes:

"We are not brothers... Is this true? What are you two thinking?!"

Gao Yang stood up excitedly and walked to Lin Xian's side:

"No, you can think of me as being narrow-minded and short-sighted, but what does the end of the world hundreds of years from now have to do with us? Can you live to see that time?"

"When we were having a barbecue by the river, didn't you say you would never use the hibernation chamber? Then just get the virus! It won't do any harm to your health anyway... Do you really want to live as long as the gods? Isn't it enough to live an honest 70 or 80 years?"

"Besides, you and I are different. You have a family and a daughter who will be born soon. You two are really crazy! Why bother?"

"Alas, let people hundreds of years from now face the doomsday. How do you know that there won't be someone more powerful than you? How can you be sure that you are the only one with super powers?"

"You have to believe in the strength of future generations, brother! The waves behind push the waves ahead, and each generation is stronger than the previous one! Look at you, who will recognize you in a few hundred years... You worry about a lot, and you even care about their lives."

Lin Xian smiled calmly:
"If it were you, what would you do?"

"So much money! I can't spend it all! I will definitely live a carefree life!"

Gao Yang patted his chest:

"Haven't you read those Dragon King stories on the Internet? There's no one as stupid as you. You should have told me earlier that your dream was real... I'll drag you to bet on the World Cup and then the European Cup, and I'll bet out the richest man in the world."

"Then what?" Lin Xian asked.

"Then buy a yacht, buy an island, and invite all the Victorian supermodels to the island for a party! When you get tired of playing around, just wave your hand and enter the entertainment industry to play around again. Then wherever you go, you will be glorious, superior, and unstoppable. This is fun!"

"Finally, you can also get on the line of the country, become a peerless national hero, win fame before and after your death, bring honor to your family, and enjoy all the prosperity in the world. Even hundreds of years later, people will still be praising your name!"

"Look at you again. What a miserable life you lead. You are fooled around all day long. You can't sleep well and you hide from others every day! Do you know what it means to be forgotten by others? You, Lin Xian, are still a big shot in 2025, but when you hibernate for 200 years and wake up, you will be nothing. Your backward knowledge can only make you work as a street vendor!"

Lin Xian still kept smiling.

He had indeed read similar novels about super-rich people and black technology, and they were exactly the same as what Gao Yang said.

"okay."

Lin Xian waved his hand, not intending to say more to Gao Yang:
"I came here today just to say goodbye to you. We have been brothers for more than 20 years. We are the two who have known each other the longest in the world. This separation is a separation between life and death. I really don't want to leave you."

"Hey!"

Gao Yang ghost screams:

"Why don't you listen to advice? Do you have a grudge against money? If you do, spend your money on me!"

"Okay."

Lin Xian smiled:
"Anyway, I'm in hibernation, and I'm not going to hand the company over to you. You can go back to being the boss of Rhine Company and do whatever you want. Anyway, I've made the Tam Bank independent, so it won't matter if you bankrupt Rhine Company."

"No, you are serious!"

Gao Yang was anxious:

"What on earth are you trying to do? Don't let your imagination run wild!"

"Okay, stop trying to persuade me."

Lin Xian stood up and prepared to say goodbye:

"Yingjun and I have already made up our minds about this matter, and it won't change. And it's not just about saving the world and the future of mankind... Chu Anqing jumped from a plane at an altitude of 20,000 meters and caught space-time particles for me. Can I just leave her alone with a clear conscience?"

"what?"

Gao Yang was stunned:
"Is it related to Chu Anqing? Have you found a way to rescue her?"

Lin Xian shook his head:
"Not yet, but... only by hibernating into the future can I learn the truth about the Millennium Pile and find hope of saving Chu Anqing."

"This is also a promise I must fulfill. What a coincidence! Chu Anqing, the Millennium Pile, the World-destroying White Light, and the conspiracy to exterminate humanity... these four things are very likely to be the [same thing] and [the same source]."

"So, if I save the world, I am saving Chu Anqing; if I save Chu Anqing, I am saving the world."

"Let's go, you're busy."

Say it.

Lin Xian turned around and walked towards the office door.

suddenly!

Snapped.

With a muffled sound, Gao Yang grabbed Lin Xian's arm with his big hand and pulled him.

"Ok?"

Lin Xian turned around.

But I saw...

Gao Yang's face looked serious, yet full of struggle and hesitation.

"What's wrong?" Lin Xian asked.

Gao Yang's face turned red.

finally.

Gnashing his teeth, he said:

"You... Fuck, why didn't you tell me about Chu Anqing earlier?"

His voice was deep.

Recalling the time we spent together at the Astronaut Training Center,

Recalling the bloody face in the space shuttle,

But the lovely girl still bravely left the cabin,

Recalling the helpless look back on the wing of the plane,

Recalling the moment of separation between the living and the dead, he leaped without hesitation...

Gao Yang gritted his teeth:
"Fuck you, Chu Anqing jumped out of the plane right in front of me. We were partners in the mission, and I even accompanied you to dig a grave for her..."

"If you're talking about something as empty as saving the world or saving the future of mankind, I really have no interest in that."

"But if you say you want to save Chu Anqing..."

He swallowed.

Raise your head and squint your eyes:

"I will think about it."
