Genius Club.

Chapter 524: Moving Forward (Please give me a monthly ticket!)

"But there is still a problem."

Jask then asked:

"There's no problem with you continuing to hibernate. I also plan to continue hibernating because the development of science and technology really can't support my ideas. So... hibernating intermittently until the era of advanced science and technology is indeed the most reasonable way of scientific research now."

"But you are different. Your purpose is not for scientific research. If you really hibernate until the year 2500 when the super genius programmer Cheng Qian is, are you sure you can wait until Newton?"

Jask chuckled:
"He was a contemporary of Copernicus, and even though Newton was only a young man at the time, he must have been quite old to have lived to 2025, hibernated, and woken up several times in the past 200 years."

"It is very likely that when you wake up from hibernation in 2500, Newton will have been dead for many years, and you won't be able to find anyone to take revenge on."

Lin Xian nodded:
"That would be a shame. But we can't help it. Right now, the most important thing for us is the secret and information about the cosmological constant 42."

"Even if Newton doesn't live to 2500, just as he continued Copernicus's will, there will definitely be someone who will continue Newton's will and pass on the secret of 42."

"It doesn't matter who the successor is. As long as we can revive the super artificial intelligence VV, it will be easy to find him. Then we can get information from the successor."

"but……"

At this point, Lin Xian smiled slightly:
"But I don't think Newton would die so early."

"Oh?"

Jask became interested:
"Why do you say that? Did you set some trap or bait for him?"

"Yes."

Lin Xian nodded:
"The last time I met Newton's avatar, I told him that there would be many scientists who could calculate the cosmological constant of 42 in the future."

"In his eyes, since I was able to kill Einstein and know some things about 42, he shouldn't doubt what I said."

"With the persistence of Newton and Copernicus... they would probably try to live a few hundred more years to ensure that their plans could be successfully implemented."

"Before the hibernation chambers, there was no way to live longer, so choosing a successor was a helpless decision. Now that there are hibernation chambers, who would be willing to end their lives so early?"

"In my opinion, if Newton trusted his successor and was willing to die early, he would not have hibernated until the 23rd century like us."

Jask lowered his head, thinking.

"Um……"

He thought for a while and nodded:

"You have a point, but you can't deny that someone must have done something bad for Newton during these 200 years. After all, it wasn't long ago that Gauss's hibernation-inhibiting virus was used. Newton probably also slept for 200 years like you, but he just woke up earlier than you."

Lin Xian stood up from his chair and stretched his arms:
"So, let's do both—"

"[On the one hand, we are trying to find Newton's traces, and on the other hand, we are prepared for the worst and hibernate until the time of Cheng Qian.]"

"Oh, there's something else I want to tell you."

Lin Xian told Jask about the world-destroying white light:
"The speed of light is the limit of the universe. Logically, there is no possibility of early observation. But can you think of other ways?"

Jask listened.

Helpless smile:

"Your request is really a bit difficult. No matter how powerful I am, I can't exceed the speed of light! You are right. If this world-destroying white light really flies from a very long distance and destroys the earth... then we humans are doomed to be helpless and can only sit and wait for death."

“It doesn’t necessarily have to come from outer space.”

Lin Xian explained:
"It could also be an explosion on Earth, or there are many other possibilities. I think we should consider a broader range when verifying the question of 'what exactly is the world-destroying white light?'"

"In short, we need to first know the truth about the world-destroying white light, whether it exists, what it is, and why it occurs, and then we can find a way to stop it."

Jask scratched his head.

I really didn't have any clue for a while:
"Well, I'll try to figure it out. It's still early, and we have plenty of time to try and make mistakes."

"But I feel that you said that this world-destroying white light came for the Millennium Pile. Since the Millennium Pile was produced by space-time particles, is it possible..."

"[This world-destroying white light is also caused by space-time particles?]"

He raised his head.

Looking at Lin Xian:

"Do you remember the blue snow that covered the entire Donghai City 200 years ago?"

"of course I remember."

Lin Xian said softly:

"I definitely remember this... because I was there and saw with my own eyes the time traveler detonate himself, creating a [time explosion]."

"But this space-time explosion only caused damage to the other party who was also a time traveler. Nothing in this time and space was hurt."

"Oh, if you insist, this space-time explosion also successfully charged two space-time particles. But no matter what, there is a big difference between a space-time explosion similar to a blue snowflake and the instantaneous arrival of the world-destroying white light."

Jask rubbed his hands:
"It's just an idea. Since we have no idea about the world-destroying white light, we might as well start with the study of space-time particles."

"Okay, I'll take the task you gave me. As for Liu Feng and Gao Wen, let them concentrate on studying the cosmological constant 42. As for the world-destroying white light and space-time particles, I'll find a way."

……

A few days later, inside the Rhine University, in a confidential meeting room.

Lin Xian, Gao Wen, Gao Yang, Liu Feng, Du Yao, and the hafnium alloy trash can robot VV, held a deployment meeting together.

The Hafnium Alloy VV did not make any noise, but quietly parked beside Lin Xian's seat, without moving.

Although it is still pretending to be artificially retarded.

But everyone knows that it is the protagonist of this secret meeting.

"It's just as I said."

After Lin Xian spoke for a long time, he touched VV's head and made a final summary:

"VV is our old friend and our most powerful partner. In the current deadlock, only VV can help us break the impasse easily."

"It's just... it's the same old time span issue. Cheng Qian, who wrote the future virus, was born in 2482. I estimate that by the time he can help us kill the virus, it will be around 2500 or the 26th century."

"As I just said, I am not a scientist, nor do I have the ability to be a qualified principal. So instead of wasting time in this era, it is better to enter the hibernation chamber and wait for technological breakthroughs and progress in our plan before waking up."

"I have already contacted Jask. If there is any need, he can wake me up in time. Whether it is a breakthrough in the study of cosmological constants, a breakthrough in the study of space-time particles, finding out the truth about the world-destroying white light, or finding out the true identity of Newton or Galileo... he can wake me up from hibernation."

"Now it's different from before. Gauss's hibernation-inhibiting virus has completely lost its effectiveness. Hibernation can be suspended or continued at any time. We have a lot of freedom in this regard."

"After this meeting, I will prepare to enter the hibernation chamber for hibernation again. I have already arranged your tasks. If you have anything else to say, you can speak up now."

After Lin Xian's summary, Du Yao raised her hand first:
"I just woke up not long ago. Like Lin Xian, I am very disappointed with the level of scientific development in this era."

"I came to the future with great ambitions, but the current level of technology does make me feel a little disappointed. At the same time... I can't continue my previous research. I want to hibernate for another 50 years. If there are breakthroughs in the fields of brain neurology and biological computers in 50 years, I can be awakened."

"Now, I feel that staying in this era will only waste my limited time."

Liu Feng nodded:
"Teacher Gao Wen and I think the same. We plan to build some super-large equipment and super-large projects to assist in research. The construction of these super projects will take at least ten to twenty years. We also plan to enter the hibernation chamber and wait."

"But we are different from Du Yao. We still have a lot of things to do. We have to hibernate later than you and wake up more often."

Gao Yang spread his hands:
"I won't comment on anything. I'm the one who can't help the least. Whenever you wake up Lin Xian, just wake me up at the same time."

He picked his nose:
"Anyway, I don't worry about anything else. I'm here just to save Chu Anqing. The security captain of Rhine University is indeed impressive, with 100,000 soldiers under his command, but he's also busy at work every day! There are so many things to deal with, it's even more tiring than being the president of a listed company."

As Gao Yang spoke, he kicked VV's head and flicked the booger in:
"Sure enough, this kind of management job is not suitable for me. Whoever wants to do it can do it. I still prefer my original sales job."

"Garbage! Garbage! Found garbage!!"

VV exploded with an unprecedented loud volume, the tracks burned the tires on the spot, and took off at full power and crashed into Gao Yang——

Bang!
The chubby Gao Yang was knocked away and rolled to the other side of the conference table.

"Fuck!"

Gao Yang, who had thick skin and flesh, rubbed his head and climbed up, staring at VV:

"Aren't trash cans used to throw away trash? Otherwise, why did you make it look like a trash can? Are you playing with abstraction?"

"Your behavior reminds me of the weird rules for checking dormitories when I was in college... You can't put trash in the trash can! You can't hang clothes on the hangers! You can't put books on the desk!"

"Just because of a dormitory inspection, everything has lost its original meaning. It's just the ultimate empty formalism!"

Gao Yang was indignant and pointed at Liu Feng:

"I've changed my mind. Aren't you planning to set up a rotating principal system? When you're all in hibernation and there's no one outside to take care of things, wake me up from my hibernation cabin and let me be the principal for a few years!"

Liu Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "The principal needs to consider many more things than your current position as security captain. Don't think that I am just the principal in name only. In fact, I am not responsible for management. The position of principal is not as easy as you think. It is very busy every day and there are no small matters."

"cut."

Gao Yang snorted and walked around the conference table:
"I still miss the days when I worked as a salesperson in a 4S store. I feel like I can't find any sense of existence or value hanging out with people like you in school."

Du Yao chuckled and comforted Gao Yang:
"Everyone has their own expertise. You just need to shine in the area you are good at."

“Then I still want to sell the car.”

Instantly, Gao Yang turned his head and looked at Lin Xian:

"I just remembered it now! You promised me that you would come to me to buy a car when you had money, but 200 years have passed! It's already the 23rd century and you still haven't bought the car!"

“You actually still remember it.”

Lin Xian said perfunctorily:
"I'm going to hibernate anyway, so it's useless to buy it. When I wake up next time and solve all these headaches, I'll open a 4S store for you and let you be the store manager. I'll come to you to buy a car then."

"It's a deal this time! You must come and buy it!"

"Definitely next time."

Lin Xian said softly.

……

This is the second time I’ve entered a hibernation chamber to hibernate, and my psychological acceptance level is much higher than the first time.

Lin Xian’s heart.

It can be said that there was no ripples at all.

Just like dreaming when you sleep.

perhaps……

It may also be because in the year 2234, he is alone and has nothing to worry about.

Although I have these friends who are as close as life and death to me around me.

But a world without his family, without Zhao Yingjun and Yu Xi, did make him feel a little lonely.

It was like a gust of wind that didn't belong to this world.

It just blew away quickly from this era and never returned home.

Huh?
Lin Xian blinked.

The wind that does not belong to this world...

This adjective sounds very familiar. It was what he used to describe the yellow bird.

At this moment.

He could indeed empathize with the yellow bird's feelings more.

"When will it be when you wake up next time?"

Lin Xian put on his hibernation tights and looked at Gao Yang, who had already fallen asleep in the hibernation cabin and was in a stable hibernation state.

This is the highest level hibernation base of Rhine University.

The area is not large and there are few hibernation chambers, but the various equipment and safety facilities are first-class and advanced.

Here they will enter the scene and move on to a more distant future.

"I hope I can wake up soon."

Press the hibernation pod button.

All processes have been running automatically for a long time. After the self-inspection procedure, the upper hatch slowly opened.

Think positively.

Maybe within a few months, Jask will find a way to find Newton.

Although unlikely.

But Newton was not a god. He assassinated so many scientists and obstructed the development of science openly and covertly. It was inevitable that he would fail and be exposed.

Until then……

I can wake up early, catch the cunning Newton, and ask him about the secret of the cosmological constant 42.

Lin Xian stepped into the hibernation chamber.

Lie flat in it.

Turn your head.

Looking at the hafnium alloy trash can VV that was bidding him farewell, he reached out and stroked its crown:
"Sorry, VV, I'll have to let you play dumb for a while longer."

“Rubbish…rubbish…”

Hafnium Alloy VV's green eyes dimmed.

It raised two hafnium alloy clips and gently grasped Lin Xian's wrist:
"Found garbage..."

Inexplicable.

Lin Xian felt a sense of loneliness spreading from his arms to his heart.

VV.

Will I feel lonely too?
In the Rhine Sky City, which was once the third dream, it guarded the white jade statue alone for a hundred years after Zhao Yingjun's death.

But I didn't expect it.

Time and space change, the sun and the moon rotate, and VV's fate is the same.

He had been waiting in front of the statues of Zhao Yingjun and Yu Xi at the University of the Rhine for more than a hundred years. He finally waited for himself, but had to wait another two hundred years.

lonely.

Every minute and every second spent in reality is more lonely than waking up from hibernation in a strange world.

"sorry."

Suddenly, Lin Xian felt very sorry for VV.

For so long, he treated VV as a friend, a partner, and himself, but he never treated it as a person.

Because VV is not a person.

It's just an artificial intelligence program, and now it's even more artificial intelligence.

But now.

He felt inexplicably.

It seemed as if VV had a heartbeat, as if VV's dim eyes were shedding tears, as if it understood what sadness and separation meant.

"Don't worry, I will rescue you."

Lin Xian smiled and said:
"There are three VVs, and now there are only two of us left to depend on each other. I can't bear to leave you either."

"Wait until I eliminate the future virus. You can scold me and quarrel with me all you want. I still prefer the dramatic and talkative you to your silly appearance."

"You have to take care of yourself, and remember to clean up the Yingjun Yuxi statue. I'm afraid... I'm going to have to take a long nap."

Say it.

He retracted his arm, laid flat in the hibernation chamber, and pressed a button.

The upper compartment is closed.

The hibernation chamber filling fluid rushed in and seeped into the lung cavity.

The temperature drops.

My head is getting heavier and heavier, and I am getting more and more sleepy.

Lin Xian used up his last bit of strength to open his mouth. Several bubbles came out of his mouth, floated to the surface of the liquid, and burst gently:

"Good night, VV."
