Gao Wen's Extra:
"Wow, Gao Wen got the first place again, with full marks."
"That's amazing... We are just elementary school students, how come he is already studying university mathematics?"
"Wow, it's too stressful to be Gao Wen's deskmate!"
...
In the elementary school classroom.
The young Gao Wen looked at the certificate that he couldn't get, expressionless.
So boring.
He hoped there would be something challenging to arouse his interest.
His father is a scientist and his mother is a university professor.
He once suggested to his parents that he could go directly to university to study, but his parents refused.
The mother smiled and said:
"Of course your father and I know that you are very smart and can learn everything at once, but...in this life, it is not enough to just learn knowledge, you still have a lot to learn."
"For example, how to make friends, how to get along with others, how to take care of others' emotions, how to put yourself in other people's shoes and understand their difficulties...these things cannot be learned from textbooks, only when you really experience and truly understand them."
"Although you have learned all the knowledge in the textbooks in elementary school, you can always get the first place in the exam, but...are you really the best in your elementary school?"
Little Gao Wen raised his head:
"Our teacher said so, and the principal also said so. I won all the championships that can be won for the school."
The mother touched his head:
"But in fact, you are not."
"You are excellent only in learning. Are you the fastest runner in your school? Do you have the most friends? Are you the kindest, most caring, and most helpful to your classmates?"
Little Gao Wen shook his head.
He knew that he was not.
The mother smiled:
"That's right, learning is only a part of life, and the answer to life is not just a test paper."
"Kindness, enthusiasm, getting along, helping others, exercise, health, gentleness, thoughtfulness, understanding... these aspects can make up a qualified person."
"[There are people beyond people, and there are heavens beyond heavens]."
"Son, you must remember this truth."
Little Gao Wen nodded.
He has always been like this, and he understands everything at once.
If all these are counted, he is indeed not the best in elementary school, and even... can be said to be at the bottom.
So.
His highly educated parents never force him to grow, and they care more about things other than grades than grades.
They are not proud of their children's early promotion to the junior class of the university. They only hope that their children can become a truly kind and enthusiastic person who helps others and is useful to society.
...
That day, he yawned in the biology class again. The teacher brought a frog and explained to everyone the relevant knowledge of frogs, including... frogs and many other similar animals will hibernate when the weather is cold.
Hibernation?
He suddenly became interested.
He hated cold weather and liked warm days.
If people could hibernate... wouldn't it be possible to skip winter?
This is so interesting!
There must be many people who think the same way as him!
Decades or even hundreds of years will pass by in a nap!
So cool!
He was so excited that he ran home as soon as school was over:
"Dad, Dad!"
He excitedly told his father about his life plan:
"How is it? Isn't it a great idea? I've decided, this is my... [direction of life]!"
His father listened silently.
He laughed:
"Oh, hibernation is a good idea. But... this technology has been cracked, and it is very complete."
"What?"
Little Gao Wen felt like the sky was falling:
"Really... really?"
"Yeah."
As he spoke, his father took out a dusty biography from the innermost shelf, "Father of Hibernation: Xu Yun".
"The main reason is that you are still in primary school, you have no access to this knowledge, and now the hibernation craze has passed, and the discussion is very low."
"Generally, people only think about hibernation when the economic situation is bad. Now that the overall situation is so good, the hibernation industry has also fallen into disuse."
"Here's the book for you, take a look."
...
After reading Xu Yun's biography, Xiao Xiao Gao Wen was amazed and felt that Professor Xu Yun was the most powerful genius in the world!
However.
The biography says that a genius like Professor Xu Yun cannot overcome the biggest side effect of hibernation -
amnesia.
"Great Professor Xu Yun."
Xiao Xiao Gao Wen clenched his fists and gritted his teeth:
"I will definitely help you overcome this problem! This is my... [meaning of life]!"
Since then.
The great Professor Xu Yun has become the most respected idol in Xiao Xiao Gao Wen's mind.
He only hopes that he can make some achievements and help Professor Xu Yun to complete this last piece of the puzzle!
In the classroom, Xiao Xiao Gao Wen thinks all day long, looking for the possibility of restoring his memory.
By summarizing his vague memories of childhood, he gradually discovered that the more painful, painful, and profound the memories were, the more he could unravel and connect many completely forgotten things.
Emotions seem to exist independently of memories.
So how to stimulate them?
He thought of the biology class where teachers used electric shocks to demonstrate the conditioned reflex of frogs.
Yes!
Conditioned reflex!
Many circuses train animals for performances. Isn’t the principle used also conditioned reflex?
Why can't this be applied to the field of memory!
Why are circus animals so obedient? Isn't it because the painful memories of whipping when training conditioned reflexes are too deep?
Maybe!
Really!
Little Gao Wen was full of fighting spirit. The moment he figured it out, he couldn't even wait to take his elementary school graduation photo and ran home directly:
"Dad, Dad!"
He was in high spirits and told his father about his "Electric Shock to Brain Activate Memory Plan":
"Isn't this amazing! I can help Professor Xu Yun complete his regrets!"
However...
Father smiled slightly and looked at him with admiration:
"Your ideas are still so good, but...the biography I gave you only wrote about Professor Xu Yun's deeds, not others."
"In fact, the cranial nerve electric shock helmet has long been developed by the Dragon Science Institute."
"What!?"
Little Gao Wen screamed:
"It has been researched again!"
He felt a sense of emptiness in his life.
Recalling what his mother said...
There are people beyond people, and there are heavens beyond heavens.
It turns out...
It's true.
That's it.
At the critical juncture of life, Gao Wen once again became confused and didn't know where his future would go.
...
Second year of junior high school, playground.
Gao Wen put the certificate that he couldn't get on his butt
"I can't feel the value of life."
"Stop being so Versailles!"
Next to him, his best friend held a test paper with 23 points in his hand and roared at Gao Wen:
"Do you know that when I get home... my dad will beat my butt!"
Gao Wen didn't take it seriously.
He continued to sigh:
"I can't find...the value of life."
He looked at the sky and said leisurely:
"I always feel that there seems to be an invisible big hand, a black hand in the sky...playing with me, always one step ahead of me, snatching away the things I am interested in."
"You fuck!"
The friend endured for a while, and finally didn't punch Gao Wen. This guy really deserved a beating:
"Why don't you say that you only know how to study things that others have studied? If you are really capable, you should study things that others can't study!"
"Some time ago, I was bored and watched videos on the Internet, and found that the great man Einstein once proposed the concept of the cosmological constant, and then denied it."
"Einstein denied it, so no one has studied this thing! And I haven't heard of any results in so many years... Can't you just study this?"
Gao Wen couldn't cheer up.
He turned his head and squinted at his friend:
"This thing...really...no one is studying it?"
The friend snorted:
"Why don't you just go home and search it online?"
"This time, be more cautious. Make sure no one is studying it and there is no breakthrough before you do it."
Gao Wen nodded:
"Okay...Although I have no interest in this direction, people should always do something valuable in their lives, right?"
Back home.
He turned on the computer and began to search for research on the cosmological constant.
No.
No!
Really nothing!
Since Einstein proposed this idea hundreds of years ago and then denied it, there has been no follow-up!
Gao Wen opened his eyes wide.
There was light in his eyes:
"Maybe...this is specially reserved for me, belonging to me...[the value of life]!"
In the following junior high school, Gao Wen studied the cosmological constant.
Although he didn't like mathematics.
But if he could really solve a big historical problem, he still thought it was very valuable.
Finally...
Before the high school entrance examination, he finally found some clues!
His palms were sweating with excitement!
He put on his schoolbag and ran home at the speed of light:
"Dad! Dad!"
He took out his manuscript and handed it to his father, who was already a national academician:
"Look! I really found the value of life this time... Although I haven't completely solved the cosmological constant, but! I have some clues! I feel that this is okay!"
However...
After his father took it and read it, he smiled and raised his head and tapped his forehead:
"Did you stay up at night and secretly play with your phone and read the news?"
"Huh?"
Gao Wen was stunned.
What is the relationship between these two things?
Of course he would use his mobile phone to search for information on the Internet, but... he didn't search for the cosmological constant. He had searched the Internet at the beginning and found that no one was studying this thing.
"Huh?"
This time, it was the father's turn to be confused.
He certainly knew that his son would not lie. Besides, even if he secretly played with his mobile phone, he would not quarrel with him. He was just worried about his eyesight.
Father pushed his glasses:
"You really didn't watch the news?"
"No, I don't have time."
Gao Wen urged:
"What news is it? Tell me quickly."
Father smiled.
He said calmly:
"It's not a big news. A few days ago, when Shan Xixi was developing, they dug up a burial coffin. There was a book in it that was unexpectedly well preserved. The title of the book is-"
"Introduction to the Cosmological Constant."
"The things written in it are similar to yours, and even a little more thorough than you think... But it's of no use. These things are all illogical and wrong. Anyway, they are not very realistic. They are probably the work of some private scientists, or they are self-funded. Published... Huh? Son, what’s wrong with you?”
Gawain at this time.
Standing there dumbfounded.
Like a sculpture.
He is really depressed!
Obviously when I first started researching, I was sure that this was an area that no one had touched upon...
But why!
Just when I had just achieved some results, I was able to dig out "Introduction to the Cosmological Constant" from the ancient tomb!
What a despairing plot this is!
At this moment.
He seemed to see a big black hand opening its mouth in the haze, laughing at his stupidity and his fate of being toyed with.
"Oh, don't be so sad."
Father comforted Gawain and said:
"If you are interested, you can continue to study it. Mathematics is also very interesting."
"never mind."
Gawain is weak:
"I'm not interested in math."
he muttered quietly.
…
high school.
Gawain is watching the stars in the school observatory.
The school's observatory is not open to students.
but.
Gawain is an exception.
He is the pride of the school, and even more so the pride of the principal's report. He is the father of the school, has countless honors, and must be well provided for.
But……
Gawain looked at the dark universe, but felt that his life was as empty as the universe.
No direction, no meaning, no value, no dreams.
He was a little frustrated.
Why do you feel like your destiny is always being teased?
He obviously likes the field of hibernation the most and is willing to devote his whole life to the cause of hibernation.
But...
All the problems in the hibernation field have been overcome, and not a single corner was left for him.
When I was disappointed, I cheered up and tried a few areas of mathematics that I didn't like... and I was able to get cut off by a book in an ancient tomb!
so funny.
"Is my life planned?"
He looked again at the night sky full of stars:
"Is there someone... chasing me, trying to catch me alone?"
hehe.
He laughed to himself.
How could such a thing be possible? He was too self-righteous.
How can he be so virtuous?
"To put it bluntly, there is no invisible big hand at all. It's simply that I was born too late and everything that can be studied has been studied by others."
"But... this is also a good thing. It is a good thing for mankind and the world. If I can really travel back in time, I really want to express my respect to Professor Xu Yun in person."
Um?
His eyes widened.
Wait a moment.
return to the past……
Time Machine!
Time shuttle!
"It's impossible for anyone to study such a fantasy thing!"
Gawain stood up from his seat in the observatory.
Clench your fists.
perhaps……
Heaven will confer great responsibilities on this people.
This is the moment you have been waiting for!
"If you want to do it, then do it in a big way."
Gawain's eyes were determined:
"Time shuttle, this is... [my dream]!"
…
The time shuttle can be said to be the most difficult and ultimate invention in the world.
It's just too difficult.
Gawain keeps trying and failing.
"No...I always feel that something is missing, something is too strange."
He scratched his head.
Maybe it's not his theory that's wrong.
Rather, the lack of the most critical link and the most critical item makes it impossible to continue moving forward.
"Hey, technology can't keep up with my progress now."
Gawain, who was in his thirties, looked at the sunset outside the window:
"Hibernate."
He decided to hibernate and take a look at the future two hundred years later. Maybe the time would be ripe then to continue research on the space-time shuttle.
…
As a result, he never expected that a super disaster would occur in 2400, which would ruin his plan to wake up.
When he finally woke up, he found himself in a strange city.
The city is depressing.
Mechanical androids with blue eyes patrol the city day and night, deducting points for various uncivilized behaviors.
But no harm.
Gawain doesn't care about any of this.
He just wants to develop the time shuttle.
Finally, he relied on his intelligence to advance all the way and finally entered the top research institution in the city.
"I want to work on a time shuttle."
he solemnly requested.
"no."
The dean directly denied him:
"Don't engage in this kind of unreasonable research. We must be steady and steady. We cannot accept failure."
"But!"
Gawain argued:
"How can we be afraid of failure when doing scientific research? Just because of the point deduction system in this city since childhood... everyone has no courage at all to work hard, have the courage to try, or dare to make mistakes. How can we do scientific research?"
The dean shook his head:
"If it doesn't work, it won't work. Get out."
Gao Wen was furious.
boom!
He slammed the door of the dean's office hard!
bass--
In the corridor, the mechanical android's eyes changed from blue to yellow. He walked up to Gawain and read aloud:
"Identification, Gawain."
"Behavior verification, damaging public goods, closing doors and making too much noise, a total of 8 points will be deducted. Senior talents will be reduced by 50%, and the final points will be deducted 4 points."
"Gaowen, the current personal score is 91 points!"
"Please be sure to maintain civilized words and deeds, follow the example of mechanical androids, and build a better future for mankind together."
The mechanical android deducted points and left.
Only then did the timid friend behind him dare to trot over and look at Gawain with fear on his face:
"What on earth are you doing! You have offended the dean, how will this end?"
The friend stamped his feet and glared at Gawain.
"Without a dean, how can we meet the funding of our laboratory?"
snort.
Gawain snorted softly:
"It's simple."
He clenched his fists and his eyes ignited with fire:
"Isn't that all I need to do if I become the dean?"
…
Two years later, Gawain ascended to the position of dean by virtue of his talents.
He stood with his hands behind his back and faced everyone in the institute:
"I want to research a time shuttle. Who is in favor of it and who is against it?"
Off stage.
No one dared to raise their hand.
They are afraid of making mistakes, afraid of losing points, and afraid of failure.
Everyone knows that the time shuttle is a bottomless pit. Once you join this plan, your whole life may be in vain...
No points will be deducted even if the experiment fails.
But it doesn’t add any points!
Who among them doesn’t want to rely on stable results in exchange for personal points and increase their own points?
After all, having more points can be used for other purposes!
Gawain, now the dean, closed his eyes.
this moment.
He was extremely disappointed.
Is this the scientific research spirit of this era?
Sucks.
boom!
He punched the door!
"Sucks!"
bass--
Outside the door, the patrolling mechanical android's eyes changed from blue to yellow. He walked up to Gawain and read aloud:
"Verification of identity, Gawain."
"Behavior verification, destroying public goods, banging on doors too loudly, and making loud noises will result in a total deduction of 10 points. Top scientists will receive an 80% reduction, with a final deduction of 2 points."
"Gao Wen, the current personal score is 4223 points!"
"Please be sure to maintain civilized words and deeds, follow the example of mechanical androids, and build a better future for mankind together."
Gawain took a deep breath.
He looked at the mechanical android who had just deducted points from him.
this world……
There is no hope at all.
It's time to leave.
Even though Sin City is a mixed bag of fish and dragons and gangs are rampant, at least... they have courage, drive, and blood!
…
"You also know about the cosmological constant?"
Sin City.
Gawain met a young man and saw him scrawling on the wall and writing many formulas, which seemed familiar to him.
The young man turned back and looked at Gawain:
"You understand too?"
Gawain stepped forward, took the chalk in his hand, and changed a few formulas for him, which instantly made him a lot clearer.
The young man's eyes widened:
"You...you are?"
"My name is Gawain."
He extended his right hand to the young man, his eyes flashing with admiration:
"How may I address you?"
"Chen Heping."
The young man held Gawain's hand:
"You are truly a genius!"
Gawain chuckled:
"I think you are also extraordinary. How about... study the space-time shuttle with me?"
He looked at the stunned Chen Heping and held his hand tightly:
"Let's work together to change this terrible future!"
…
"Peace, they said they would choose you to be their godfather."
Chen Heping laughed loudly:
"How can I do that? Brother Gawain, you have to come!"
"No."
Gawain shook his head:
"Peace, you are more suitable for this position than anyone else. Being a godfather requires more than just your brains. You also need to be able to deal with people, be both diplomatic and principled, and handle people both in front and behind... I don't have this ability. "
"Besides, you are far above me in terms of brains. You are the real genius... I am really grateful to you, Peace."
Chen Heping picked up the beer glass, drank half of it, and handed it to Gao Wen:
"What are you thanking me for? I should thank you. It is you who have brought hope to our Sin City and the possibility of overturning the future!"
However……
Gawain shook his head and smiled:
"What you don't understand is that you helped me realize [my dream in life]."
"For so many years in my life, I felt as if I had been dominated and played by an invisible black hand."
"It seems a bit inexplicable to say this, but I really feel that the invisible black hand has been playing with my life and my destiny, making me depressed and cut off at every turn."
"But! I no longer have such worries at all!"
Gao Wen took the beer glass handed over by Chen Heping, drank it all in one gulp, and breathed:
"Thanks to you, our time shuttle is finally almost complete! The direction, meaning, value, and dreams of my life will all be realized at this moment!"
"And this... is all your fault, peace."
…
Soon after, Chen Heping became ill due to overwork, suddenly fell ill and died.
Gawain hugged his head and cried.
He had never cried like this in his life, even though he had been played with several times in his life. But at this moment... he really couldn't help it.
but.
After crying.
He wanted to wipe his tears and stand up.
He is the godfather of Sin City,
He is the hope of mankind to reverse the future,
He has not completed the time-space shuttle, and has not realized his life dream.
"Big Face."
He touched the head of the teenage Big Face Cat next to him and said:
"Your father is a hero, you should follow his example and become a great man like him."
The Big Face Cat wiped his nose and nodded:
"I will definitely... carry forward the Face Gang!"
Behind him, Sanpang nodded wisely:
"I think it's okay."
...
August 28, 2624.
This is a historic day.
Under the command of Godfather Gawain, Sin City will strike Donghai City and steal time-space particles!
As long as there are time-space particles...
You can start the time-space shuttle, travel back to the past, and completely reverse this terrible future!
Gawain stood in front of the time-space shuttle, stroking its cold shell, recalling his confidant who had passed away for more than ten years but was still unforgettable every day...
"Peace."
He muttered:
"We are finally going to succeed."
"Today, after we stole the time-space particles, our dreams, ideals, and life values... will all be realized."
"Thank you, it is you who made me truly escape from the invisible black hand and let me control my own destiny. This time... my life will never be played with again!"
Bang.
The door of the underground laboratory was pushed open.
A familiar loud voice came:
"Godfather! I have two new brothers! Bring them over to show you!"
He turned around.
Seeing a tall young man and an even younger girl.
The young man came over and shook hands with him:
"Hello, Gawain."
Gawain was slightly stunned.
He obviously didn't know this young man, why did the other party know his name?
"Who are you?" He asked softly.
See.
The young man smiled slightly:
"My name... is Lin Xian!"
