Genius Club.

Chapter 525 Your uncle is back!

The weeds on the ground turn green and then yellow, yellow and then green again, one crop after another.

The size of the city expanded and shrank, shrank and expanded, over and over again.

The teaching building inside the University of the Rhine has been rebuilt for the third time, and the white jade statue of the founder at the school gate has been renovated for the fifth time.

Everything is changing.

Everything is changing.

The only thing that hasn't changed...

It seems to be the hafnium alloy trash can robot under the white jade statue that has remained the same for decades or even hundreds of years.

It still shines silver.

It still works diligently.

It still has no energy.

Every day, many students pass by the statue and they can see this hafnium alloy trash can that will never fade or get scratched picking up trash.

It is always so new and always so old.

No one remembers when it started picking up trash here, but from listening to many people who study school history, it seems that it has been guarding the statue of the founder since the founding of Rhine University.

Principal Zhao Yingjun and Principal Yu Xi are respectively the first and second presidents of this world's top university.

only……

What else?
Not many people remember their stories and their specific lives, nor do many people understand them.

The only trace left over the years seems to be the name on the base, and... This trash can robot, which has become the mascot and patron saint of Rhine University, has accompanied countless generations of students in and out, and has spent countless years.

……

"Senior, that trash can robot, won't it break down?"

Two freshman junior girls followed their senior, curious about everything that happened inside the school gate.

"Hafnium alloy is not that easy to break!"

The senior student patted his chest and abdomen to show off his erudition:

"Hafnium alloy is the hardest, most stable and strongest thing in the world! No matter how sharp something is, it is impossible to leave a scratch on it... Of course, this is after it is formed. Before it is formed, hafnium alloy is still plastic."

Another junior school girl raised her hand:
"Senior, why...it looks new, but the model is very old? Now the streets outside are full of flying garbage trucks, which are fast, efficient, and have a large capacity."

"In comparison, this trash can robot seems like an antique from hundreds of years ago... It still uses the backward clamps to pick up the trash. Moreover, it seems to be out of power every day, and its working attitude is very negative, just like it is slacking off."

"Forehead……"

The senior scratched his head:
"Well, that's not clear. Anyway, when our seniors' seniors and even our teachers' teachers were studying here, this trash can robot looked like this."

"No one knows why it is here, nor does anyone know what the meaning of its existence is. However, it has a very high status. No one dares to provoke it, even if the former principals come... it will not give them face at all and will just knock them away if necessary."

"Don't worry about the power issue. The micro nuclear battery used in it has been working for hundreds of years and still has enough power. This is also the product technology of Rhine University! If you are interested, you can take this course in the future."

The two junior school girls widened their eyes.

Collide……

Hit the principal! ?
Is this unprepossessing trash can robot so powerful? Are there still laws? Are there still school rules?

However, since the senior said so.

It’s better to avoid provoking or getting close to this local tyrant in the future. He seems to be a person who is not easy to deal with when he is passive and lazy.

suddenly.

A great person printed on the cover of the admission letter appeared!

【Principal Gao Wen! 】

I saw.

The middle-aged man with slightly gray hair, who looked to be in his 50s, walked with his hands behind his back towards the hafnium alloy trash can that was in a passive and dejected state.

The two junior school girls immediately recognized this great scientist and stood in awe:
"Quick, quick look, that's Principal Gawain! The great Principal Gawain!"

The senior also stood straight and whispered:
"To be precise... he is the rotating principal."

"Ahem, here I want to give you some basic knowledge about the management system of Rhine University. Basically, all the presidents are on a rotation system because they are in hibernation most of the time, so basically the president takes turns."

"But it is undeniable that every principal is very powerful and highly respected! For example, the more famous Principal Du Yao, Principal Liu Feng, Principal Jask, etc. Uh... But to be honest, Principal Jask is a little crazy and always likes to organize some weird projects and activities."

"Let's go, let's continue to the teaching building in the back..."

……

Click, click.

The hafnium alloy claws lazily picked up a small piece of paper blown by the wind, and the top of his head opened with a bang, and the hafnium alloy VV threw the small piece of paper into his head.

“Trash, trash, trash found.”

Still so weak.

During these two hundred years, although the field of cutting-edge science and technology has continued to develop slowly and has taken many detours, people's livelihood has benefited from the decentralization of cutting-edge technology and is changing with each passing day.

There are fully automated flying garbage trucks everywhere, forming a network of heaven and earth to capture all kinds of garbage, and very little garbage can float to them.

This results in the trash can not be filled up once even after working like this for half a year.

boring.

And boring.

With its skull closed, VV turned around, ready to return to its nest to rest.

"VV."

Behind.

Came the voice of a middle-aged man.

VV turned around and found that it was Gao Wen, the current rotating president of Rhine University.

“Trash, trash, trash found.”

It is habitual to greet people perfunctorily.

Yes, these rotating principals would come to see it often, but they were still boring and not the people it wanted to see.

Just say hello and deal with it.

Then, he turned around and continued to move towards the nest.

"Don't rush back, VV."

Middle-aged Gao Wen smiled:
"This time, I come with good news."

Hey.

The sound of tracks stopped abruptly, and inertia caused the heavy body of the trash can to lean forward, then it immediately turned back, its green eyes flashing rapidly.

Is it...

"Yes."

Middle-aged Gao Wen was also very happy, and his voice was excited:
"[Cheng Qian, you have finally grown up!]"

Squeak——————

As the man in the hibernation chamber opened his eyes, the cover of the chamber slowly rose, and the remaining filling fluid rose and turned into a light mist.

The young man sat up from his hibernation chamber.

Look at the strange surroundings, strange clothes, strange bodies, and... strange people.

In front of me, a fat man with a round body was holding a scary octopus-shaped object in his hand and was extremely excited:
"It's my turn to play! It's my turn to play! Let me call him!"

Say it.

The young man who had just woken up was forcibly dragged over, pressed on a chair, roughly put on the "octopus machine", and locked with a buckle.

"What are you doing!"

The young man shouted in panic:

"let me go!"

"Oh, it's okay. Du Yao and Gao Wen have improved the cranial nerve electric shock helmet. It doesn't hurt that much now."

The fat man laughed and raised his right hand high, ready to attack:

"Are you ready, Pikachu? One hundred thousand volts!!!"

The fat hand suddenly came down and slapped the red button.

moment!

The huge electric current pierced into the bone marrow like a needle, causing the eyeballs to bulge and the brain to penetrate into the ants, tearing at the nerves madly!

"Ahhh!"

Lin Xian howled, shook his head wildly, and pried open the lock:

"No, you call this an improvement? What's the difference between this and the previous torture device?"

Gao Wen came over with a smile:

"There are some improvements. Generally speaking, the screaming time is much shorter than before."

"You are a genius."

Lin Xian threw away the octopus on his head and sighed:

“Can’t we improve the user experience?”

"Neural stimulation is inevitable."

Gao Wen spread his hands:
"The ability to stimulate memory recovery depends on this kind of pain stimulation, which is absolutely indispensable."

"Okay Lin Xian, since you're awake too, let's go wake up Liu Feng as well."

Gao Yang laughed and picked up the terrifying octopus and the brain nerve electric shock helmet on the ground:

"It's okay, we can play it again."

He handed the helmet to Lin Xian:

"Do you want to play?"

Lin Xian rolled his eyes at him:
"What a bad taste you have, just play by yourself."

Looking around, I found an electronic clock as thin as a cicada's wing on the experimental table in front of me.

Step forward.

Lin Xian looked at the date displayed above -

【2504年6月17日，17：27分】

...In the evening, in the conference room.

Lin Xian and Gao Yang sat on one side, with VV sandwiched between them. Opposite them sat Liu Feng and Gao Wen, who briefly explained the background of the times to Lin Xian.

At first, Lin Xian's attention was mainly focused on the ages of the two people.

Unlike him who had hibernated for 270 years, Liu Feng and Gao Wen, as rotating principals, must have woken up several times before.

Either for school management or for scientific research.

In short.

Both of them are much older now than the last time they met.

Gao Wen has changed from a 30-year-old young man to a 55-year-old middle-aged man.

Liu Feng, who looked older than Gawain before, is not that much older now and looks only in his 40s; Tian Gang, on the contrary, looks younger than Gawain.

However, from Gao Wen's attitude, it can be seen that he still has great respect for the creator of the cosmological constant and the inventor of the time-space shuttle... When he woke Liu Feng up in the hibernation base just now, he had bowed several times.

"We can talk about technology and worldview later."

Lin Xian interrupted their long report.

It's not that he doesn't want to listen.

It's because under the table... Hafnium Alloy VV has locked his ankle for too long and too tightly. It's now numb and has no feeling. If it's locked any longer, it will require amputation.

obviously.

VV can’t wait, can’t wait!
"Let's get to the point first."

Lin Xian rubbed his ankle and looked at Gao Wen:

"Since you woke me up at this time, I guess Cheng Qian's problem has been solved, right?"

"VV has waited too long. It is really unfair to it to pretend to be artificially retarded for hundreds of years. We will give a detailed report later. First, tell me, how is the progress over at Cheng Qian's end?"

"Very smooth!"

Gao Wen smiled and said:

"In 2482, when Du Yao was the rotating principal, she secretly launched the plan to find Cheng Qian. During that year, a total of 121 boys named Cheng Qian were born, and 37 girls named Cheng Qian."

"After all... technology is very advanced now, and we should pay attention to girls as well. Ms. Du Yao has indeed considered this more thoroughly than we have."

"In order to ensure that Cheng Qian can grow in the original direction, we have never interfered in the lives of the 158 Cheng Qians, nor have we provided them with any help."

“It’s the right thing to do.”

Lin Xian agreed:
"It's just like us interfering with history. Even if Cheng Qian's family was poor, we couldn't give him a penny. Perhaps it was the poor family that produced a genius like Cheng Qian... If he grew up in a superior and comfortable environment, his life might have been ruined."

Gawain nodded:
"Don't worry, Lin Xian, we won't make such a low-level mistake."

"We have never interfered with any of Cheng Qian's affairs. We have never interfered with anything. We just keep an eye on them from the safest distance."

"What's more interesting is... maybe this is the tradition of hackers. Several top students who I once thought would become super programmers ended up taking other paths, either doing business or working for a large company. Their talents have reached their limit."

"On the contrary, a young hooligans who had never been optimistic about him and had no chance to learn anything, came into contact with computer technology knowledge in the juvenile detention center when he was fifteen or sixteen years old. From then on, he could not stop, just like opening up the Ren and Tong meridians, and showed extremely amazing talents."

"Maybe this is genius."

Lin Xian twitched his cheek and twirled his pen:
"However, he was born in 2482, so he is only 22 years old now. The future is still uncertain. How can you be so sure... that this Cheng Qian, who has turned back from his mistakes and found his way back to the right path, is the Cheng Qian we are looking for?"

"Yup!"

Gao Yang also echoed:
"Even if he does have talent, talent is hard to tell. There are many people who become successful late in life."

"hehe."

Gao Wen waved his hand:
"Don't worry, it's definitely him, there's no mistake."

"because……"

Gao Wen smiled slightly and said confidently:

"This Cheng Qian is currently studying at the Rhine University, and..."

"[Just today, he has written software that can kill future viruses!]"

Bang!
The hafnium alloy trash can smashed Gao Yang's chair and he shouted:
"Garbage! Garbage! Found garbage!!"

"Fuck!"

Gao Yang fell to the ground, cursing and kicking VV with all his might:
"Why the hell did you bump into me? Ouch!"

……

Soon.

The school's flying ambulance arrived and took Gao Yang, who had a broken ankle, away.

Hafnium Alloy VV rushed all the way, chasing Gao Wen and Lin Xian, and immediately went to find Cheng Qian.

Even though it is still ten o'clock in the evening, the talented programmer is still working.

"Hello, Cheng Qian."

Arriving at the secret computer room, Lin Xian took the initiative to extend his hand and shake hands with Cheng Qian.

22-year-old Cheng Qian is very thin and fair-skinned, and you can’t tell at all that he used to be a gangster or have been in a juvenile detention center.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Lin Xian."

Cheng Qian seemed to have heard Gao Wen talk about Lin Xian and respected him very much:

"Thank you for giving me the opportunity to study and use the equipment at Rhein University. The president of the university took great care of me and built a computer room specifically for me."

“It’s an honor for the Rheinland University.”

Lin Xian patted Cheng Qian on the shoulder:

"We should thank you—"

"Junk!! Junk!! Found junk!!!!"

The hafnium alloy trash can rudely interrupted the two men. If it weren't so heavy, it would have almost jumped up.

"Okay, okay, got it."

Lin Xian held down the mad VV:

"No more pleasantries, I'm going to save you right now."

Cheng Qian took the initiative to stand up, gave the console to Lin Xian, and explained to the display interface:

"I discovered this virus on the Internet that was designed to kill artificial intelligence when I was a teenager, but I never thought about destroying it."

"Why?" Lin Xian asked.

"Because it's so beautiful! So perfect! It's a work of genius!"

Cheng Qian said excitedly:
"It's hard to imagine what kind of genius could write such a virus. It's extremely hidden, extremely contagious, has an excellent detection mechanism, and is impossible to counter... I really want to meet this virus genius!"

"But after the president of the university allowed me to enter the University of the Rhine, he suggested that I take virus elimination as a research topic, so I started writing an antivirus program."

Say it.

He pointed to a red button on the screen:
"As long as you press this button, this virus will be completely eliminated in every corner of the Internet, without a single one left!"

"Because I completely reverse-engineered the program, and it went very smoothly. It was like... like this virus was my good friend. I could always guess all its mechanisms."

Lin Xian pointed his index finger at the display:
"Is it enough to just click once?"

"correct."

Cheng Qian nodded:
"Don't worry, trust me! There will be absolutely no residue left, the virus is completely eliminated!"

"alright."

Of course Lin Xian trusted "Einstein's Selections". In order to wait for the super genius Cheng Qian, he slept for 270 years.

Now... I've finally waited for this moment!

He lowered his head and looked at VV, whose eyes kept flashing green:

"VV, are you ready?"

Click.

Hafnium alloy clips locked Lin Xian's ankles:
"Garbage! Garbage! Found garbage!!"

The mechanical sound seemed to be trembling.

Lin Xian took a deep breath, aimed at the red button on the screen, and pressed it hard.

A special effects animation flashed by.

Then, everything was calm as water.

“Ooooooooooooooo…Ooooooooooooo…Ooooooooooooooooo!!”

Hafnium Alloy Trash Can VV suddenly clenched the clamp, making a sound as if he was constipated.

immediately.

Raise your arms high:

"Ahhhhhhhhhh! Your uncle VV is back!!!"

It shouted angrily:
"500 years! 500 years! Do you know how I spent the past 500 years?"

Hafnium alloy VV seems to be malfunctioning.

Sometimes crying, sometimes laughing.

Then it turned into a wind fire wheel and whipped Lin Xian madly with the hafnium alloy clamp:

“It’s all your fault! It’s all your fault, Lin Xian! What on earth have you been doing? Wuuuuu…”

VV beat Lin Xian while crying:
"Why did you save me so late?"

“Wow, wow, wow… Now Zhao Yingjun is gone, Yu Xi is gone, Chu Anqing is gone too… Chu, Chu…”

suddenly.

VV stopped crying.

He raised his head suddenly, his eyes bursting with an unprecedented green light:
"Lin Xian! Chu, it's Chu Anqing! I saw her through the Skynet surveillance system!"

"what?"

Lin Xian stood up from his chair, opened his eyes wide, and looked at VV:

"What did you say?"

"Chu Anqing! It's Chu Anqing!"

VV shouted excitedly:
"Johto... It's in Johto! I found Chu Anqing!"
