Genius Club Chapter 102 The Sad Great Man (1/3)
In fact, Lin Xian felt that if we could know when and where Mr. Adams heard the number 42, or the concept of the cosmological constant, we might be able to solve this mystery.
But it's a pity.
Mr. Adams passed away in 2001.
Whether he has heard of the concept of the cosmological constant 42 or not, there is no way to verify it now. Dead people cannot speak...
"After working on it for a long time, I finally had to sneak into Xindonghai City in the dream world and find the big-faced cat's father or the book "Introduction to the Cosmological Constant" to figure out what the Cosmological Constant 42 is."
Lin Xian shook his head.
It's almost like a trip in vain.
No exact information was obtained.
He turned around to leave——
"Huh?" "Eh!"
As soon as he turned around, he saw an unexpected acquaintance.
Fluffy brown high ponytail, big and energetic eyes, lips slightly opened in surprise, and a tear mole like an anti-counterfeiting trademark on the corner of his left eye.
"...An Qing." Lin Xian reacted half a beat slowly before calling out his name.
Poof——
Chu Anqing covered her mouth and laughed, her big spiritual eyes curved into two crescent moons, and two cute little pear dimples loomed at the corners of her mouth:
"Senior Lin Xian, who did you mistake me for?"
"Ah..." She suddenly reacted and smiled mischievously:
"You don't...do you think I'm the female classmate you liked in high school?"
"Pause for a moment." Lin Xian stretched out her palm to stop her thoughts:
"It's true that I drew that female classmate, but I never said that I liked her... That painting was really just a random drawing during practice. I have absolutely nothing to do with that female classmate."
Why.
Lin Xian sighed inwardly.
The truth is, once you tell a lie, you will continue to tell countless lies to justify it.
But there is nothing we can do about it.
Under the circumstances at that time, the person he drew was obviously a person, but he was not from this era. There was no such person, so he could only make up a non-existent high school female classmate to deal with it.
Chu Anqing and Chu Anqing look exactly the same. Otherwise, the sketch cannot be explained clearly.
"By the way, are you also here to see the science fiction exhibition?"
Lin Xian changed the topic.
"No." Chu Anqing waved her hand and pointed to the corridor on the other side:
"I was visiting an art exhibition there, and there was an oil painting exhibition being held in the exhibition hall over there. I happened to pass by this venue, so I said I would stop by and have a look... I didn't expect to meet you here. What a coincidence! "
Lin Xian nodded.
What a coincidence indeed...
He looked to the other side of the corridor. There were indeed various oil paintings hanging on the walls of the exhibition hall there. It seemed that Chu Anqing was right.
Look back.
Only then did she have time to observe how Chu Anqing was dressed today.
This should be the third time the two of them have met. The first time they met was at the celebration banquet of MX Company, and the second time they met was in the Hetang classroom of Tunghai University. I didn’t expect that the third meeting would be at such a coincidental place... …Donghai City Exhibition Hall.
Today, Chu Anqing's dress is still very ordinary.
The weather has warmed up recently, and girls have taken off their heavy down jackets and coats and started to travel lightly, and Chu Anqing is no exception. …. .
Today, she is wearing a very fresh and beautiful light blue sweatshirt + gray skirt. She wears flesh-colored stockings on her legs to protect her from the cold. The whole thing is very youthful and energetic. Paired with boots with slightly thick soles, Chu Anqing seemed to be taller, and she looked slimmer and more beautiful than when they met two times before.
"Did you come here by yourself?"
"Yes, I don't have classes this afternoon, so I just came here to hang out. I've actually always been interested in painting... but I don't seem to have the talent in this area, and I can't draw well no matter how I draw."
Chu Anqing smiled and looked at Lin Xian:
"Senior Lin Xian, you are really talented in painting. Have you not considered learning other forms of painting besides sketching?"
"No, actually I don't like painting very much." Lin Xian smiled and said:
"But I can't say I hate it... The reason why I practice sketching is just because I take the art test in the college entrance examination. My grades in cultural classes are not that good. If I want to go to a good university in Donghai City, I can only take the art test. road."
"Do you like Donghai very much?"
"I can't say that I like it. I'm mainly curious about this city, so I wanted to take a look."
Lin Xian also told the truth.
Because he had been dreaming since he was a child, and the city in his dream was called Donghai, so he always wanted to visit this city.
Unfortunately……
Now the city in the dream has gone through changes, and has become the poor and backward old Donghai. Instead, there is a giant sci-fi city, New Donghai City, surrounded by a 200-meter high steel wall.
"So this is ah……"
Chu Anqing flicked the plush ball on the hood of her sweater:
"Sure enough, everyone thinks the outside world is good."
"Actually, I like your hometown Hangzhou better than Donghai! I have been traveling there. It is really beautiful and beautiful. All places are beautiful, unlike Donghai...everywhere is crowded and always busy. The tension.”
r\u003e
"The Spring Festival is coming soon. Senior Lin Xian, are you going back to your hometown to celebrate the New Year? Or will you continue to stay in Donghai City?"
"Well, I want to go back to my hometown." Lin Xian replied.
Going home during the New Year is an old tradition in the Dragon Kingdom. What's more, Gao Yang also wants to organize a high school reunion, and he has to attend.
Chu Anqing turned around and pointed to the oil painting exhibition hall at the other end of the corridor:
"Senior, the oil painting exhibition there has many original works by famous artists, and some were transported from the British Museum. This is a rare opportunity, do you want to go shopping together?"
It's authentic...
In fact, Lin Xian was still a little interested.
After all, he is engaged in this field, and he also learned this knowledge in college. He is still very curious about the authentic works of many legendary painters.
Whatever.
Come all come.
Just go check it out.
"Okay, let's go and have a look."
"Hehe! That's great, now I have a tour guide! Senior, you must know these paintings very well, right?"
"I'm just a second-hand swordsman."
…
Subsequently.
The two of them walked around the oil painting exhibition while talking and laughing.
As Chu Anqing said, there are indeed some authentic works of modern European painters here, and this is the first time Lin Xian has seen them.
The craftsmanship and the flavor of history...it's breathtaking. …. .
He had only seen these oil paintings in textbooks or prints before.
But the two-dimensional and three-dimensional feelings are completely different. Oil paintings have their own unique sense of thickness and three-dimensionality. Just looking at them makes you feel like you can go deep into that Renaissance era.
Chu Anqing was like a lively lark, talking a lot and having many questions.
Fortunately, today was Lin Xian's home court. He picked up most of the painters, artistic styles, and painting backgrounds at his fingertips, and was forced to pretend. Chu Anqing couldn't help but admire them:
"Senior, you are so amazing...you know everything, you are so knowledgeable!"
"No way, it just happened to hit the muzzle of the gun."
The two of them watched and walked.
As I passed the corner, I saw a black and white painting hanging on the wall.
The old man above had his hair blown up and his eyes were dull, making the two of them take a step back in fright.
"Hang such a scary painting on the corner... it must be intentional."
Lin Xian raised his head and looked at the painting again.
The old man in the painting is familiar to everyone. It is a picture of a great physicist who often appears in various textbooks——
Albert Einstein.
On the canvas, the great man looked solemn, as if he had suffered a heavy blow and was sluggish.
His hair was sloppy, his face was covered with wrinkles, and his eyes were dull, as if his soul had been hollowed out, which gave people a very bad feeling.
In addition, this oil painting may be intended to reflect a melancholy and sad atmosphere. It uses very little color. Except for a small amount of light and shadow, it is almost all done in black and white. This gives people an intuitive impression at first glance... …
It's like a posthumous photo.
Like a dead person.
"'Sad Einstein.'"
Chu Anqing approached the painting and read out the name of the painting:
"This painting was painted in Brooklyn, New York, in 1952. It was painted by Henry Dawson, a famous American realist painter of the last century..."
She took a step back and re-examined Einstein in this painting. He was really sad, depressed, and even lifeless:
"Why...why would Einstein have such a painting?"
She blinked and looked at Lin Xian:
"Isn't Einstein a very successful and powerful scientist? He should be respected and have a very high academic status. But... why is Einstein so sad and depressed in this portrait?"
"Senior Lin Xian, do you know the background of this painting?"
To her surprise...
Lin Xian still nodded!
This surprised her. The senior in front of her...how could he know everything? Like an encyclopedia.
Lin Xian began to talk about this painting.
This is the benefit of watching too many science fiction novels and movies, and you will understand a little bit about everything.
"Actually, Einstein was very sad in his later years. He basically spent his time in depression and depression."
While Lin Xian was telling Chu Anqing, he raised his head and looked into the dull eyes on "Sad Einstein":
“Einstein believed that it was his mass-energy equation that opened Pandora’s box, thus allowing mankind to master uncontrollable nuclear energy, which in turn led to the birth of nuclear weapons, a major killer, and caused the death of millions of people. .”…. .
"But his worries are not limited to that. He is also worried about the future of mankind. He is worried that if the next global war breaks out... countless nuclear weapons fall from the sky, which will directly lead to the extinction of mankind and the destruction of civilization."
"Although now, his worries and concerns are unnecessary, but during that special period in 1952...his worries were actually normal and reasonable."
"Once he had this idea, he fell into a dead end of self-blame and regret and could not get out. This was also the reason why he became withdrawn and depressed in his later years."
…
Lin Xian spoke calmly, and Chu Anqing listened with rapt attention.
After a while, the gallery was finished. The two of them walked to the entrance of the Donghai Exhibition Hall and waved goodbye.
"Thank you so much, Senior Lin Xian, for teaching me so many things today. I really learned a lot of new knowledge!"
"--\u003e\u003e
It's nothing, it's easy. "
After watching Chu Anqing get into the car, Lin Xian also reached out to take a taxi and returned home.
After going home to simply eat and wash up, I checked the time.
Half past five.
Go to bed at this time. If you fall asleep quickly, you will still have time to catch the three-sword style thief in your dream, join the Face Gang, and meet him at the garbage treatment plant according to the plot.
Lin Xian changed into his pajamas, lay on the bed, and closed his eyes.
"bring it on."
In his mind, he imagined the smiling face of Chu Anqing or Chu Anqing:
"I have a lot of questions to ask you..."
…
…
…
Still not feeling any of the hot summer wind, Lin Xian opened his eyes in this quiet little village, surrounded by intricate self-built houses.
He walked to the corner of the alley.
Aunt Li's breathless chasing sound came from the distance:
"Catch—catch the thief! Catch...catch the little...thief!"
