Chapter 39: Moving Forward (Please give me a monthly ticket!)
"But, there is another problem."
Jask then asked:
"There is nothing wrong with you continuing to hibernate. I also plan to continue hibernating because the development of science and technology cannot support my ideas, so... hibernating intermittently until the age of advanced technology is indeed the most reasonable method 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 lives, are you sure you can still wait until Newton?"
Jask chuckled:
"He was a contemporary of Copernicus. Even if Newton was just a young man at the time, if he could live until 2025, hibernate, and then wake up several times in the past 200 years, he must be quite old."
"It's 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."
Lin Xian nodded:
"In that case, it is indeed a pity. But there is nothing we can do about it. The most important thing for us now is [the secrets and information about the cosmological constant 42]."
"Even if Newton does not live for 2,500 years, just like he continued Copernicus' will, there will definitely be someone who will continue Newton's will and continue the secret of 42."
"No matter who the successor is, as long as the super artificial intelligence VV can be resurrected, it will be easy to find him. Then we can obtain information from the successor."
"but……"
Speaking of this, Lin Xian smiled slightly:
"However, I think Newton probably wouldn't have died so early."
"oh?"
Jask came interested:
"Why do you say that? Did you lay some trap or bait for him?"
"That's right."
Lin Xian nodded:
"Last time I met here with Newton's avatar, I told him that there are many scientists who can calculate the cosmological constant 42 in the future."
"In his eyes, since I can even kill Einstein and know some things about 42, he shouldn't doubt what I say."
"With the persistence of Newton and Copernicus...80% will find a way to live for a few hundred more years to ensure that their opportunities can be implemented smoothly."
"When there were no hibernation pods in the world, there was no way to live long, so it was really helpless to choose a successor; now that there are hibernation pods, who would be willing to end their life early?"
"In my opinion, if Newton was at ease with his successor and was willing to die early, he would not have hibernated into the 23rd century like us."
Jask lowered his head, thoughtfully.
"Um……"
He thought for a while and nodded:
"What you say makes sense, but you can't deny that someone must have done dirty work for Newton in the past 200 years. After all, Gauss's anti-hibernation virus has just passed away, and Newton has probably slept for 200 years like you, only to wake up. It’s just earlier than you.”
Lin Xian stood up from the chair and moved his arms:
"So, let's work on both sides -"
"[On the one hand, we are working hard to find traces of Newton, and on the other hand, we are preparing for the worst to hibernate until Cheng Qian's era.]"
"By the way, there is 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 speaking, there is no possibility of early observation, but can you think of other ways?"
Jask listened.
Helplessly smiled:
"Your request is really embarrassing. No matter how powerful I am, I can't exceed the speed of light! You are right. If this world-destroying white light really comes from a very far distance and destroys the earth...then we Humanity is doomed to be helpless and can only sit and wait.”
"It doesn't necessarily come from outer space."
Lin Xian explained:
"It may also be an explosion caused on the earth, and there are various other possibilities. I think when verifying the question of 'What is the world-destroying white light?', we should consider a wider scope."
"In short, we need to first know the truth about the world-destroying white light, whether it exists, what it is, and why it is generated, and then we can find ways to stop it."
Jask scratched his head.
I really didn’t have any clue at the moment:
"Then, I'll find a way to study it. It's still very early anyway, and we have plenty of time for trial and error."
"But I feel that you said that this world-destroying white light came for the Millennium Pile. Since the Millennium Pile is produced by space-time particles, is it possible..."
"[This world-destroying white light is also caused by space-time particles?]"
He looked up.
Looking at Lin Xian:
"Do you still 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 nearby at the time and witnessed the time traveler detonating himself, creating a [time and space explosion]."
"But this time and space explosion only caused damage to the opponent who is also a time traveler. Nothing in this time and space was unscathed."
"Oh, if I have to say it, this space-time explosion successfully charged two space-time particles. But no matter what, there is a big difference between a space-time explosion similar to blue snowflakes and the world-destroying white light that arrives instantly."
Jask rubbed his hands:
"It's just an idea. Since we have no clue about the world-destroying white light now, we might as well start studying it from space-time particles."
"Okay, you give me this task and I will take it. As for Liu Feng and Gao Wen, let them concentrate on studying the cosmological constant 42. For the world-destroying white light and space-time particles, I will find a solution."
…
A few days later, inside the Rhine University, a confidential conference room.
Lin Xian, Gao Wen, Gao Yang, Liu Feng, Du Yao, plus the hafnium alloy trash can robot VV, held a deployment meeting together.
The Hafnium Alloy VV did not make any noise, but parked quietly next to Lin Xian's seat, motionless.
Although it is still pretending to be artificially retarded.
But everyone knew that it was the protagonist of this secret meeting.
"Things are exactly what I just said."
After Lin Xian spoke for a long time, he touched the VV Tianling Cap and made his final summary:
"VV is our old friend and our strongest partner. Under the current impasse, only VV can help us break the situation easily."
"It's just... it's still a commonplace issue of time span. Cheng Qian, who wrote the future virus, was not born until 2482. I estimate that by the time he can help us kill the virus, it will probably be 2500 or the 26th century."
"As I said just now, I am not a scientist, nor am I capable of being 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 our plans to make progress before waking up. "
"I have already contacted Jask. If necessary, you can wake me up in time. Whether it is a breakthrough in the study of cosmological constants, a breakthrough in space-time particle research, clarifying the truth about world-destroying white light, or finding out the truth about Newton or Galileo Identity...can wake me up from my hibernation cabin.”
"Now it is different from before. Gauss's anti-hibernation virus has completely failed. Hibernation can be suspended or continued at any time. We have gained a lot of freedom in this regard."
"After this meeting, I will prepare to enter the hibernation cabin to hibernate again. I have also arranged your tasks. If you have anything else you want to say, you can say it now."
After Lin Xian concluded, Du Yao took the lead in raising her hand:
"I have just woken up. Like Lin Xian, I am very disappointed with the level of scientific development in this era."
"I originally came to the future with great ambitions, but the current level of science and technology really makes me feel a little chilled. At the same time... I can't continue my previous research. I want to continue hibernating for 50 years and take a look. 50 years In the future, if there are any breakthroughs in the fields of brain neurology and biological computers, they can wake me up.”
"Right now, I feel like staying in this era will only be a waste of limited time."
Liu Feng nodded:
"Teacher Gao Wen and I think the same way. We plan to build some super large equipment and super large projects to assist research. The construction of these super projects will start at least ten or twenty years ago. We also plan to enter the hibernation cabin and wait. ”
"But we are different from Du Yao. We still have a lot to do. We hibernate later than you and wake up more frequently."
Gao Yang spread his hands:
"I won't express any opinions. I am the least helpful person. Just wake up Lin Xian when you want, and wake me up when you want."
He picked up his nose:
"Anyway, I don't worry about anything else. I'm just here to save Chu Anqing. The security captain of the Rhine University is really impressive. He has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and generals under his command, but he is also busy at work every day! The endless things to deal with are simply worse than going public. The president of the company is still tired.”
As Gao Yang spoke, he kicked open VV's Tianling cover and flicked the boogers 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! Garbage found!!"
VV burst out with an unprecedented loud volume, the tracks burned the tires on the spot, and took off at full power and crashed into Gaoyang——
Bang!
The fat Gao Yang was knocked away and rolled to the other side of the conference table.
"Fuck!"
Gao Yang, who was rough and fleshy, rubbed his head and got up, staring at VV:
"Isn't the trash can just for throwing away garbage? Otherwise, why would you make it look like a trash can? Are you trying to be abstract?"
"Your behavior reminds me of the weird rules in the dormitory when I was in junior college... You can't put garbage in the trash can! You can't hang clothes on the hangers! You can't put books on the desk!"
"Just because of a single inspection, everything has lost its original meaning. It is simply formalism that is fake and empty to the extreme!"
Gao Yang was indignant and pointed at Liu Feng:
"I have changed my mind. Aren't you planning to establish a rotating principal system? When you all hibernate and no one is around to take care of things, wake me up from the hibernation cabin and let me enjoy being the principal for a few years. Cool!"
Liu Feng couldn't laugh or cry:
"The principal has many more things to consider than your current security captain. Don't look at me as principal. In fact, I am not responsible for managing this area. The position of principal is not as easy as you think. I am very busy every day. No matter the size.”
"cut."
Gao Yang snorted and walked around the conference table:
"I still miss the days when I was working as a salesperson in a 4S store. I feel like I can't find any sense of existence and value even if I hang out with you guys in school."
Du Yao chuckled and comforted Gao Yang:
"There is a hierarchy of learning, and there is a specialization in the arts. Everyone is good at different areas. You just need to shine in the area you are good at."
"Then I still want to sell the car."
In an instant, Gao Yang turned to look at Lin Xian:
"I remember it so much! You promised me that you would buy a car from me when you got rich, but it's been 200 years! It's the 23rd century! You haven't bought the car yet!"
"You actually still remember."
Lin Xian said perfunctorily:
"It's going to be hibernating anyway, so if you buy it, it will be in vain. When you wake up from hibernation next time, after solving these headaches, I will open a 4S store for you, and let you be the store manager. Then I will buy a car from you."
"We made a promise this time! I must come and buy it!"
"Definitely next time."
Lin Xian said softly.
…
Entering the hibernation cabin to hibernate for the second time in life, the psychological acceptance level is much higher than the first time.
Lin Xian's heart.
It can be said that there is no trouble.
Just like sleeping and dreaming on weekdays.
perhaps……
It's probably because in this era of 2234, he is alone and has nothing to worry about.
Although there are these life and death friends around.
But the world without his family, Zhao Yingjun and Yu Xi did make him feel a little lonely.
It was like a wind that was not of this world.
It just blew past this era in a hurry and never returned home.
Huh?
Lin Xian blinked.
A wind that does not belong to this world...
This adjective is very familiar. He used it to describe oriole.
At this moment.
He can indeed empathize with Oriole's mood more.
"When will the next time you wake up?"
Lin Xian put on hibernation tights and looked at Gao Yang, who had already slept in the hibernation cabin and entered hibernation smoothly.
This is the highest level hibernation base of Rhine University.
The area is not large and there are few hibernating cabins, but the various equipment and safety facilities are first-class advanced.
They will enter the scene here and travel to a more distant future.
"I hope I can wake up soon."
Press the hibernation button.
All processes have been automated. After the self-inspection procedure, the upper hatch cover is slowly opened.
Think in the right direction.
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 overtly and covertly. There were always times when his mistakes were revealed.
Until then…
You can wake up early, catch the cunning Newton, and ask about the secret of the cosmological constant 42.
Lin Xian stepped into the hibernation cabin.
Lie flat on your back.
Turn your head.
Looking at the hafnium alloy trash can VV standing by to bid farewell to him, he stretched out his hand to touch its Tianling lid:
"Sorry, VV, I have to keep you pretending to be stupid for a while longer."
"Garbage...garbage..."
Hafnium Alloy VV's green eyes became dim.
It lifted two hafnium alloy clips and gently held Lin Xian's wrist:
"Trash found..."
Inexplicable.
Lin Xian felt a sense of loneliness spread from his arms to the bottom of his heart.
VV.
Will you also be lonely?
In the Rhine Sky City, which was once the third dreamland, it guarded the white jade statue alone for a hundred years after the death of Zhao Yingjun.
But I didn't expect it.
Time and space change, the sun and the moon rotate, and VV's fate turns out to be the same.
He has been waiting in front of the statues of Zhao Yingjun and Yu Xi at the Rhine University for more than a hundred years. He finally waited for him, but he had to wait for another two hundred years.
Lonely.
Every minute and second spent in this real life is a loneliness more difficult to endure than waking up from hibernation in a strange world.
"sorry."
Suddenly, Lin Xian felt very sorry for VV.
For so long before, he regarded VV as a friend, a partner, and himself, but he did not treat her as a [person].
Because VV is not a person in the first place.
It is just an artificial intelligence program, and now it is artificially retarded.
But now.
He felt inexplicably.
It's as if VV has a heartbeat, as if VV's dim eyes are crying, as if it understands what sadness is and what separation is.
"Don't worry, I will save you."
Lin Xian smiled and said:
"Three VVs, now only the two of us are left to depend on each other. I can't bear to let you go either."
"When I eliminate the future virus, you can scold me or quarrel with me as much as you want. Compared to your dull look, I still prefer you when you were a drama queen and a talkative person."
"You have to take care of yourself, and remember to clean the statue of Yingjun Yuxi. I'm afraid... I'm going to have a long sleep."
Say it.
He retracted his arm, lay flat on his back in the hibernation chamber, and pressed a button.
The upper compartment is closed.
The hibernation chamber filling fluid poured in and entered the lung cavity.
The temperature decreases.
My head is getting heavier and heavier, and I am getting sleepier and sleepier.
Lin Xian used his last bit of strength to open his mouth, and several bubbles came out of his mouth, floated to the surface of the liquid, and burst gently:
"Good night, VV."
