Genius Club Chapter 15 Gawain's Safe (1/5)
Tiger poison will not eat dogs.
In the end, Zhao Yingjun got up and poured a bowl of dog food for the Pomeranian VV.
VV immediately gobbled it up.
"Feel sorry."
Zhao Yingjun touched its dog's head and whispered:
"I didn't mean to forget you."
She rubbed her forehead.
Take a deep breath.
He stood up again, sat down on the sofa, leaned on the soft back of the sofa, and began to consider the possibility of this "supernatural event".
From a scientific perspective.
This kind of thing cannot happen in any case.
Giving birth to a child happens in a short time. Don't talk about getting pregnant in ten months. She is a woman, and there is no need to worry too much about whether she has given birth to a child.
That Yan Qiaoqiao must not be her child.
"Why"
She really felt like she had a headache.
I originally thought that I had caught my parents' illegitimate child and secretly gave birth to a younger sister behind my back.
What a great result.
Get yourself a daughter!
It would be better not to bother and accept the persona of Yan Qiaoqiao as the "granddaughter of a distant relative".
What should we do now?
Zhao Yingjun calmed down quickly
Everything happened for a reason.
After living independently and rationally for a long time, Zhao Yingjun began to put aside his emotions and seriously consider what the problem was.
"The problem is definitely not with me."
She was sure of this.
"That means"
She slowly opened her eyes and stared at the dim ceiling:
"The problem still lies with the little girl."
Yan Qiaoqiao, where did she come from? What is your identity?
must.
Just get this straight.
Although Zhao Yingjun does not consider himself a serious person, this matter is, firstly, related to his innocence; secondly, he has an extra daughter out of thin air, which is very wrong anyway, so he must find out the truth.
Give yourself, your parents, and Yan Qiaoqiao a reasonable explanation.
"What if it's really my daughter?"
Think of this question.
Zhao Yingjun's mind was in confusion.
She is only 25 years old and has no idea what to do. She is not ready to be a mother at all. She does not know how to raise children and does not know how to get along with them.
It's not her fault.
Regardless of whether it is a man or a woman, the change in family status should be gradual and slow.
How could it be possible to conjure up a teenage daughter out of thin air and then make people recognize her?
without any tenderness,
No emotion at all,
Some are just horror, repulsion, and spine-chilling.
"Let's go see Yan Qiaoqiao tomorrow."
Zhao Yingjun put down other unnecessary emotions.
Now that things have come out, there is no need to escape or deny them. We have to face them anyway.
The source of everything comes from that little girl.
That's it.
Find the answer from her!
After thinking about it.
Zhao Yingjun sat up from the sofa, opened the refrigerator door, and prepared to make something to fill his stomach.
At the same time, the fifth dreamland, Face Village, was bustling with activity.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!"
The big-faced cat took a big elbow and tore it in half, placing half on the plate in front of Lin Xian and half on the CC plate. His mood was extremely high:
"Speaking of this village, you may not know that this village was already called Face Village long before I became the village chief and my father was the village chief."
"Do you know why? Because when I was born, it was an auspicious sign! Although it was midnight, the moment I was born, all the chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep in the village, and the pigs in the pig pen, were humming my name. ”
"Hum, big-faced cat?" CC looked at the rosy-faced, slightly drunk cat, and doubted the authenticity of this story:
“How did those pigs and chickens do it?”
"Oh, brothers and sisters, listen to what your elder brother has to say."
The big-faced cat shook the bamboo wine glass and shook his head:
"Big Face Cat is just my nickname, not my real name. It's just because my face has been very big since I was born. The midwives said that my face is as round as a pie, so I call it Big Face Cat." It just continues.”
"But I do have a name. My father is a rare cultural man in this era. He gave me a very nice name, but no one has ever called it to me in so many years."
Boom.
Lin Xian put down the bamboo wine glass and blinked at the big-faced cat:
"You actually have a name."
"Bah, aren't you talking nonsense, brother!"
The big-faced cat snorted coldly:
"Who in this world has no name?"
"Talking about my father"
Lin Xian continued to ask:
"Your father has always given me the impression of a legendary figure, thunderous but never--\u003e\u003e
Never met. "
"And your father is indeed very impressive, very educated and smart. By the way, what is your father's name?"
For so long, Lin Xian really didn't know the name of the big-faced cat's father.
The big-faced cat sighed and whispered:
"Chen Heping."
Lin Xian looked at the greasy half piece of elbow on the plate and thought about the name of the cat father.
Indeed, it's an awesome name.
As a super genius who deduced the result of the cosmological constant 42 using only pen and paper, he is indeed worthy of this name.
Only then did Lin Xian realize it.
The big-faced cat in the fifth dream seems to be still alone.
He didn't see his parents, his gentle and virtuous sister-in-law, his rebellious daughter, or the proportionally shrunken cat with a small face.
Why.
He didn't even ask.
In this era, without any modern medical treatment or drugs, it is very likely that a small cold or inflammation will eventually develop into a serious disease that takes away lives.
"I heard that your father left a lot of research manuscripts?"
Lin Xian continued to ask:
"Can I go take a look later?"
"Of course, brother, you are all from our Face Village. Don't show up. You can do whatever you want! Hahahahaha!"
The big-faced cat drank another few glasses of food and wine, and rubbed his greasy hand on Lin Xian's shoulder:
"He took a lot of notes and kept them in the room next to him. Before he fell ill and died, he said that if any child wants to learn, let him study more, saying that knowledge is the only way to change his destiny."
"But in this day and age, can knowledge be used as food? Since my father passed away, no one has entered that room, and no one has taught us lessons. Since then, there has been nothing in Face Village. Changes have come along the way, and it’s actually pretty good. At least we have enough food and clothing.”
"Oh, let's not talk about such disappointing things! It's such a happy moment today, come on! Cheers! After drinking this glass of wine, let's go dance! Dance around the bonfire!"
The big-faced cat raised his glass, clinked it with Lin Xian CC, and drank it all in one gulp.
Then he dragged Dazhuang, Erzhu and Sanpang with a staggering pace to the bonfire with a flame several meters high in the middle of the village.
Accompanied by the beats of several animal skin hand drums, they twisted around the campfire, singing and dancing with the villagers.
CC ate the fruit on the table, looked at the singing and dancing crowd, and smiled slightly:
"If I had known that they were not bad people, why would they always fight and fight like that and fight to the death? If I had known that they were so innocent, they would have sneaked in a long time ago."
Lin Xian smiled and shook his head:
“So when we get along with each other, we also need to pay attention to methods.”
"But if you want to sneak in on your own, it's not that easy. If you want to pass the second pillar, the identity of a sister-in-law or a younger sibling is a necessary stepping stone, so two people must cooperate."
CC threw away the fruit core in her hand and looked at Lin Xian:
"Then do I still want to continue performing?"
She wiped her hands:
"Teacher Wei also taught me some skills in playing the wife."
“No, no, no”
Lin Xian waved his hand:
"Your acting skills are a bit exaggerated. In fact, as I said at the beginning, there is no need to act, just be yourself. People in Face Village don't have that much thought at all."
"Besides, Teacher Wei's teachings to you are completely based on his lover, the kind of little bird who cares about people. This style is obviously not suitable for you."
He picked up a piece of fruit next to him and handed it to CC:
"Don't you realize it yourself? Don't you feel disgusted or disgusted by the pretentious performance at the village gate?"
"Not really."
CC shook his head:
"I don't have any special feelings. The main reason is that I have never been in love. I don't know what real love is like, or what lovers in love should do."
"You may be thinking a little too simplistic, Lin Xian. In this world, survival is already very difficult, and there are no literary works to refer to. Normally, children my age have no way to understand this kind of thing."
She took the fruit from Lin Xian and turned to look at the huge bonfire. The dance was lively and cheerful.
Every era has its own entertainment methods.
Then the methods vary.
But happiness seems to be common.
"Can you dance?"
CC turned to look at Lin Xian.
"I can."
Lin Xian nodded:
"But I can't do their dance."
He smiled helplessly:
"This should be the face dance unique to Face Village. It's completely unorganized and incomprehensible."
"Hey! What don't you understand?"
suddenly.
Erzhu's voice came from behind.
The two turned their heads in shock.
I found that this version of Erzhu is really unfathomable and mysterious!
I saw that Erzhuzi was also a little drunk, and he laughed and took their hands:
"Come on, let me teach you!"
"No, no, no need."
Lin Xian waved his hand and declined.
He sneaked into Face Village but came with a purpose. Immediately, he planned to enter the room of Big Face Cat's father and read the notes he left.
Then.
r\u003e
You also have to go to a corner of the village to find Gawain's safe and try to open it to see what's inside.
only.
Erzhu was too kind to refuse, so he dragged the two of them to the bonfire.
The flames soaring into the sky made everyone's face red.
Erzhu put Lin Xian and CC's hands together:
"Just support me and follow me, come on"
The flexible Erzhu was leading the dance beside him, signaling Lin Xian and CC, who were holding hands, to twist to his rhythm.
Lin Xian was helpless.
In order not to expose his straightforward purpose, he could only forcefully blend into the environment and start to tap dance like steps.
CC was obviously dancing for the first time.
While watching Erzhu's teaching, he had to be careful not to step on Lin Xian's soles. At this moment, I felt like I was learning to walk in Handan again, extremely stiff.
But she studied very seriously.
This serious energy couldn't help but remind Lin Xian of Chu Anqing.
The beating flames reflected on CC's face made her a little more lively and enthusiastic. There were also flames flickering in her eyes, and her eyes became much softer.
CC is originally a cold version of Chu Anqing.
But now, the temperature of the flame seems to have melted this indifference, allowing Lin Xian to dream back to the still freshly remembered New Year's dinner in 2023.
Chu Anqing, dressed in a blue evening dress, was like an elf in the forest, leading him to complete a stunning waltz.
That was his first time dancing with Chu Anqing.
It's also the only time.
The last time.
Inexplicably, he thought of something.
Said to be
Many times, before you realize it, you have seen someone for the last time.
Now Lin Xian feels deeply about this sentence.
Perhaps being able to see CC again in the fifth dreamland is a miracle in itself.
What about the next dream?
Will there still be her?
What will the world look like again?
Lin Xian was not sure at all.
Just like in front of me, who is trying hard to learn the dance steps without stepping on her own CC? Who can guarantee that she will still be here when she falls into a dream next time?
"oops."
CC finally stepped on Lin Xian's shoe and smiled sheepishly:
"Feel sorry."
Lin Xian was also brought back to his thoughts by this apologetic smile:
"Stop looking at Erzhu. Let me teach you."
This kind of campfire dance has only a few moves, and he memorized it all after watching it twice.
Again
How difficult can it be for a dance that everyone like the Face Gang can learn?
In the dance class of Tunghai University, he has been the dance partner of his senior classmates for several years, and his ballroom dancing skills have long been perfected.
He held CC's hands behind his back and led her with him.
Step by step, step by step, around the bonfire, surrounded by flames, dancing gracefully, kicking back and forth to the beat of the animal skin drum.
soon.
CC understood these few dance moves, no longer needing Lin Xian's guidance, and gradually kept up with the rhythm easily and freely.
"You are indeed talented."
Lin Xian looked at CC:
"You have always had strong physical coordination and artistic talent."
"You're the first one to say that."
CC said:
"But this is the first dance I can dance. I had no chance to dance before, and no one taught me how to dance. Thank you."
"Not so polite."
Lin Xian and CC ushered in the final climax of the bonfire dance with the increasingly fierce drumbeats.
"That's great."
CC looked at the bonfire burning with flames soaring into the sky, her eyes unclear whether she was happy or lonely:
"only"
"We will meet again tomorrow. If we meet again in the future, will I forget the dance steps I just learned and start everything over again?"
Lin Xian nodded:
"Then it depends on how powerful your memory fragments are. In every world, I will meet you countless times, but you will only remember one of them."
"If you are lucky, maybe in the next world, you will have more memory fragments from tonight, and you will still remember how to dance this dance."
"But I don't think there is much hope. Just like your memory fragment logic, it usually focuses on the few times before the world changed. The more distant it is, the less you can remember it."
The beat of the animal skin drums played by the villagers has reached a crazy rhythm and will stop abruptly at any time, ushering in the end of the bonfire dance.
"I'll try to remember."
CC smiled.
Like Chu Anqing smiled.
Eyes curved into shallow crescents,
The little pear dimples looming at the corners of the mouth,
Pure and bright, Lin Xian was dazzled for a moment:
"Thank you for teaching me this dance."
Boom
The final drum beat stopped instantly.
The surrounding crowd also stopped and dispersed, applauding or screaming.
Lin Xian and CC also let go of their hands.
Everyone took a step back and stood on both sides of the bonfire. What was separated was like a sea of fire, like a vast ocean.
Just like the vast Pacific Ocean between Brooklyn and the East China Sea.
--\u003e\u003e
distant.
But they are on the same planet.
"genius!"
Erzhuzi applauded enthusiastically, ran over with eyes full of approval, and gave a thumbs up to CC:
"Brother and sister, you are really a genius!"
Then he turned to look at Lin Xian:
"Brother, you're not bad either!"
"You may not know it well. The fabric sunhat on my head is the championship prize of last year's village dance competition. Look at the craftsmanship and stitching. It's so exquisite that it can't be made in a small village like ours. That’s why it’s considered a championship prize!”
"But it seems to me that your dancing skills are not inferior to mine. You are very talented, so I decided."
Er Zhuzi decisively took off his green fabric sun hat and placed it on Lin Xian's head:
"You will be crowned king!"
“Nothing can happen”
Lin Xian quickly took off the curse, and Ma Liu put the hat on Erzhu's head again:
"I'm still far away, you are the King of Dance!"
It's also strange.
These two pillars always want to put a cuckold on their own heads. What kind of strange ritual is this?
Finally, it was time to move around freely and chat.
Everyone had enough to eat and drink, and stood or sat in various corners of the village to chat and talk freely.
Lin Xian also had the opportunity to enter the house of the big-faced cat's father, Chen Heping, with CC.
Fortunately, the animal husbandry and hunting industries in Face Village are very developed.
Grease, an important material for making oil lamps, is very abundant. Even in this room where no one enters all year round, there are two large oil lamps.
CC took a burning branch from the campfire and lit two oil lamps to illuminate Cat Dad's former house.
It's very tidy and clean, and it seems like it's being cleaned regularly.
There is a small bookshelf here with several notebooks on it, all bound with very rough paper. It should be ancient papermaking technology, which is considered a very advanced technology in this kind of village.
Lin Xian and CC each took a copy and looked at the contents.
In the book in Lin Xian's hand, he copied many poems.
It should have been discovered and recorded by Cat Dad during archeology, right?
Including the story of Yueyang Tower that A Zhuang recited in excitement in the afternoon, are all recorded in this notebook.
Recalling what A Zhuang and the big-faced cat said.
When Father Cat was still alive, he often gave lessons to the children in the village and taught them knowledge. However, after his death, the school fell into disuse, and Face Village officially entered the era of big-faced cats leading a wild life.
Keep reading.
This notebook is full of ancient poems, many of which are incomplete and many of which are wrong.
Of course the cat dad didn’t know it was wrong.
But Lin Xian memorized it, and he copied it wrong in many places. He couldn't blame Cat Dad. It was already amazing that he could find these civilizational legacies from archeology.
"CC, what is your book about?"
Lin Xian put down the book in his hand and looked at CC next to another oil lamp.
"It's math."
CC handed the book in his hand to Lin Xian:
"It's simple math."
math?
Lin Xian became interested for a moment, took the rough notebook and looked through it.
really
They are all very simple arithmetic problems.
It's not as difficult as the equation taught by Zheng Xiangyue, it's too basic.
Lin Xian originally wanted to find clues about the cosmological constant 42, but after reading all the notebooks, he had determined
The big-faced cat father in the fifth dream has not been exposed to the research of cosmological constants.
This is also understandable.
A super disaster on Earth in 2400 turned the entire world upside down, and many things changed.
In previous dreams, the reason why the big-faced cat's father could continue to study the cosmological constants came entirely from the introduction to the cosmological constants in the grave of Liu Feng's girlfriend, Li Qiqi.
Although Introduction to the Cosmological Constant was written in Lin Xian's era.
but.
Because it was proven to be completely wrong and worthless, no publishing house was willing to publish it. Only Li Qiqi found a Taobao merchant to print a copy herself.
Only this one.
The only copy in the world.
At least, there will be no second introduction to the cosmological constant on earth for hundreds of years to come.
obviously.
In the future world of the fifth dream, a super disaster destroys everything. Almost all healthy people on earth go to Mars, and the earth is abandoned by humans in the disaster.
Naturally, the only copy of the Introduction to the Cosmological Constant in the world has not been unearthed or delivered to the father of the big-faced cat. The study of cosmological constant 42 naturally ended because of this.
The logic of time and space is intertwined.
A slight difference can lead to a loss of thousands of miles.
"Let's go and have a look at the hafnium alloy safe."
Lin Xian put the big-faced cat's father's notebook back to its original place, picked up the oil lamp, and walked to the edge of the village with CC.
The hafnium alloy safe is placed there.
He held up the oil lamp and took a look. He found that the password was cracked by exhaustive methods. The password had been tried backwards to 00002701.
There are only the last 2700 possibilities left!
If you try as fast as you can, it won't take more than an hour to open Gawain's safe.
"Thank you Face Village."
Lin Xian said sincerely:
"If they hadn't helped us crack the ten--\u003e\u003e
After several years, nearly 100 million password combinations have been eliminated. Today, it is not that easy for us to open this safe. "
"Is this safe important?"
CC asked:
"Do you know this man named Gawain?"
Lin Xian neither denied nor affirmed:
"It doesn't count as acquaintance, and I'm not sure whether this Gawain is the Gawain I know."
"If it's the Academician Gao Wen I know, then the contents stored in this safe are worth looking forward to."
"Academician Gao Wen is definitely a true genius. His inventions have changed the entire world and reversed all futures."
"I believe that a true genius will not be buried here. Since he used a hafnium alloy safe, there is a high probability that he entered the hibernation cabin and traveled to the future."
"Under this premise, we usually leave something very important to our future self. Anyway, there are not many possible passwords left. We will know what is inside once we open it."
CC turned his head and looked at the eight password wheels:
"They have all tried to reach 00002701. Let's follow their progress and continue to crack them one by one."
"no no."
Lin Xian is a person who is very obedient and does not get ahead of himself.
He directly turned the eight password wheels back to 00000000, and then said with a smile:
"We start from 00000000. Although for the exhaustive method, the starting point is the same, but there are still lessons to be learned."
Said.
He started spinning the rightmost cipher wheel, trying each cipher one by one.
00000001,
00000002,
00000003,
Click, click, click.
The familiar sound of the lock that can't be opened.
For so long, so many hafnium alloy safes, so many dream adventures, Lin Xian really hasn't successfully opened a safe.
In front of him.
Maybe a breakthrough will finally be born!
Click, click, click.
As the number on the password wheel continues to increase, Lin Xian also tightens his lips, inevitably feeling a little excited and nervous.
Click, click, click.
00000039,
00000040,
00000041,
Press the lock.
Still not open.
Lin Xian turned the last password wheel down again.
On the hafnium alloy safe, the eight password wheels are arranged into
00000042
This
This is an extremely familiar number, and an extremely familiar decimal.
It was exactly the same as the value displayed on Liu Feng's time and space clock, 0.0000042, except for a missing decimal point.
Lin Xian didn't think too much and mechanically pressed the lock.
Bang.
A muffled sound that had settled for hundreds of years.
The hafnium alloy safe opened with a sound!
"It opened, it opened!"
CC immediately jumped up from the stone chair next to her, eyes wide open.
Although she could realize that the exhaustive method would open the safe sooner or later.
But when this moment really came,
she still felt a little incredible!
Lin Xian didn't speak.
He was still confused.
Why, such a coincidence?
The safe password set by Gao Wen is not only related to 42, but also exactly the same as the space-time curvature of the current timeline.
What does this mean?
With doubts, Lin Xian opened the hafnium alloy safe that had been sealed for many years.
I saw.
The empty safe, almost nothing inside.
Only the most
Lin Xian gently took it.
Thanks to the full-page plastic seal, even after hundreds of years, it is still well preserved, just like Zheng Xiangyue's plastic-sealed small piece of paper, and can be viewed normally.
He opened this sacred and heavy notebook.
CC also came over with an oil lamp, and the two looked at the cover of the notebook together.
Through the still intact plastic film, you can clearly see several lines of black handwriting on the paper inside
My name is Gawain, and this diary was stored on December 7, 2201. I plan to enter the hibernation cabin and wake up within the 10-year safe period to ensure that my memory will not be lost, and come to take this notebook.
And if you are not Gawain, but you see this notebook. That means
I am dead.
