Einstein became melancholy.

In those intricately intertwined time and space lines, he clearly saw that the future of mankind was ruined in the world-class nuclear war in 1991.

He could see clearly——

[Douglas predicted many things correctly. In the next few decades, more and more countries will possess nuclear weapons, nuclear deterrence will be formed, and the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons was signed in 1968. 】

[But in the end, the war between Russia and Russia broke out. As the first nuclear weapon was launched into the sky, various nuclear counterattack systems around the world were immediately activated. Nuclear chains spread across the world instantly, and countless hydrogen bombs and atomic bombs exploded all over the earth. Thousands of mushroom clouds completely pollute the atmosphere...]

This is the prelude to the demise of mankind.

Einstein lowered his head heavily:

"How I hope that the future I see is wrong and false; how I hope that Douglas is right; but..."

He stood up, walked to the living room, and looked at the fish tank that had not been taken care of for three days.

There are a total of 12 fish in the fish tank. Currently, 7 of them are floating on the water with their white bellies turned over, and the remaining 5 are eating the bodies of their companions.

He had just seen this scene.

Before he walked out of the study and into the living room...he knew exactly how many fish had died.

Subsequently.

He returned to the study again.

Open the curtains and look out at the warm sunlight.

"It's going to snow late tonight."

Einstein said softly:

"Little Tom next door will fall down in 7 seconds. The ball in his arms will pop out and hit Mary's dog..."

"Ouch!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a little boy running with a ball in his arms tripped over a stone step and fell to the ground on his face, crying. The ball in his arms fluttered across the road and hit the sleeping Ke with a thud. Base dog.

Swish——

Einstein closed the curtains.

Obviously, the future he could see was real and accurate.

At least... things that can be verified so far prove that these futures are correct.

"Douglas."

Einstein raised his head:

"Yes! Douglas! We made an appointment to meet at the farm in Brooklyn today, and I'm late!"

He scratched his head:

"Damn it, where is Douglas now? He doesn't think I broke the appointment, does he?"

Close your eyes.

Einstein began to use the "space-time line" in his mind to search for Douglas, find his figure and location, and peek into his future.

But found...

Can't find it at all!

The reason was that he had no idea what Douglas looked like and couldn't even match his voice.

Einstein reluctantly opened his eyes:

"If I can see the history before I wake up, I can follow the clues to find Douglas, and naturally know his true appearance... But now, my ability to peek into the future starts from the moment I wake up, and I can't see any previous history. arrive."

"The only impression I have of Douglas in my mind is the King Kong gorilla hood and the hoarse cold voice. I don't even know his nationality."

"But maybe you can take a look at my farm in Brooklyn. Although I'm late today, maybe Douglas will be willing to wait for me at the farm."

Having just acquired the ability to peer into the future, Einstein was not very skilled yet. He closed his eyes again and awkwardly sorted out the lines of time and space...

soon.

He found his farm in Brooklyn and found that there was indeed a black figure wandering around the farm.

He was a man with a Nordic appearance, but with a part of Asian face mixed in. It seemed that Douglas should be a "Mixed Asian and European".

immediately.

Einstein held his breath and couldn't believe it——

He saw it.

Douglas's eyes... turned out to be bright blue too! Exactly the same as his eyes at this moment!

Think back again.

At the moment when the cosmological constant 42 was calculated, there were two small blue electric balls behind him; since one hit him, the other... must have hit Douglas, so the other party had the same eyes as him. Turn blue!

"That's it, that's it!"

Einstein suddenly understood.

This is fate! This is the bond——

[Douglas, like him, can see the future! 】

"I understand, Douglas."

Einstein narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists:

"Now, it is obviously too early to despair and despair about the future of mankind..."

"We can gain the ability to peek into the future. This is the opportunity God has given us to change the future."

"As long as we see the outcome of failure and destruction in advance, we can find ways to avoid it, change it, and guide the future of human civilization in a new direction."

"Let's join forces Douglas, let's work together..."

"[Create a better future for mankind!]"

After thinking about it, Einstein was very excited. No matter how dark the future of mankind is, it doesn't matter. He and Douglas can save it all!

"We must find Douglas quickly."

Einstein stopped peering into the future, put on his coat, and hurried out of the study.

But soon.

He turned back again.

Pick up the white paper on the desk with only one number [42] written on it.

This is the origin of everything. He wants to discuss this matter with Douglas, so take this piece of paper with the final number of the cosmological constant with him.

Fold the manuscript paper.

Put it in your coat pocket.

Einstein rushed out the door, started the classic car parked in the yard, and drove at full speed to the suburbs of Brooklyn.

…

at the same time.

In the western suburbs of Brooklyn, in an abandoned farm.

Lin Xian had already gone around to the back of the house and started searching.

"Found it!"

At the foot, there is a hidden steel flip door.

really.

Just as he imagined.

There is indeed a hidden underground space in this farm.

It took some effort.

Lin Xian forcefully pried open the heavy hidden door and headed towards

"What on earth...is this place?"

He did not climb down hastily.

It's not very safe if it's black or not. Moreover, this passage looked more like an emergency escape. Lin Xian did not believe that Einstein, who was in his seventies, could still climb up and down such a vertical passage.

"There must be other entrances and exits."

Once you have a target, the search is much faster.

soon.

He found a few vents and a hidden periscope. Seeing these devices, he finally understood what was hidden underground on this farm——

"Underground bomb shelter."

For a moment, I was enlightened.

Lin Xian recalled the advertising paper he once saw on the street in Brooklyn:

In this special era when everyone is afraid of nuclear war, many wealthy people have indeed begun to prepare air-raid shelters and even underground fortresses in advance.

Never expected...

Even Einstein was one of those who prepared for a rainy day.

So far.

The previous mystery about Einstein's multiple visits to suburban Brooklyn has been largely explained.

He is indeed more alert than normal people.

After the atomic bomb exploded in 1945, Einstein must have been worried about nuclear war, so he bought this wasteland in the suburbs of Brooklyn early and started building underground bomb shelters and underground shelters.

During the entire 7-year construction period, Einstein's investment must have been huge.

This also shows how desperate he is about the future war situation.

The reason why CC and the others often saw Einstein driving by in front of the orphanage was that it goes without saying that he must have come to supervise the work on the farm.

For such a big project, it is impossible for him to completely take charge of it. He must always check it.

"That means there should be a more convenient entrance that can lead directly to the underground shelter."

Intuition told Lin Xian that it would be reasonable for this entrance to be located inside a certain house.

final.

He found the official entrance to the underground shelter inside the warehouse.

There is even a simple elevator:

"There's even an elevator... How deep did Einstein dig this underground shelter?"

Lin Xian got on the elevator.

Turn on the light switch and press the down button.

Amidst the sound of steel cables rubbing together, the simple elevator slowly descended. Lin Xian stared at the solid concrete walls around him, wondering where he would go next.

Einstein…

will be in

Then this is too rude, at least give me a hint, otherwise no one would be able to find such a hidden place.

After about ten seconds, the simple elevator stopped, the fence opened, and Lin Xian came to a brightly lit underground fortress.

There is a large space here, all kinds of equipment and facilities are available, all water and electricity lines are laid, and there are all kinds of furniture.

"It's so luxurious."

Lin Xian walked in and took a stroll, sighing at the extravagance of Einstein's handiwork.

It was just a bomb shelter, but Einstein actually built it according to the standards of a villa, which shows that he had long been mentally prepared to live there for a long time.

I looked around in the underground space.

Lin Xian found that most of the space was made into storage boxes and storage compartments, filled with various cans and emergency items; there were also diesel generators, strategic supplies, etc.

Take a few deep breaths.

The oxygen content was found to be very sufficient.

This shows that there is a special gas circulation ventilation device.

Now, Lin Xian finally understood where Einstein had spent his renovation money in the past seven years. It was all used to build this underground shelter!

"It seems that even great men have a timid side behind them."

Lin Xian smiled helplessly.

If the world knew that the great scientist Einstein built such an underground palace behind his back, I really don’t know how historians would evaluate him.

However, great men are also human beings, and this kind of behavior makes them more real.

A few more turns.

Lin Xian was sure that this place was simply an underground shelter built to prevent nuclear war, and there was nothing suspicious about it. So I decided to take the elevator back to the ground and not stay here for long.

How to say it.

Although the facilities here are luxurious and there is plenty of oxygen, it is still depressing.

…

Return to the ground.

Lin Xian found a chair in the warehouse and sat down, planning to wait for Einstein until the evening.

The other party is a famous person and a busy person. Maybe there is something urgent that may delay him, so he should just wait a little longer.

Waiting until nightfall, the full moon slowly rises from the eastern sky, and the roar of cars is finally heard outside.

It must be that Einstein was late and finally came to keep the appointment.

Lin Xian walked out of the house.

I saw Einstein's classic car parked in front of the door, turned off the lights, turned off the engine, and opened the door with his arms wearing woolen sleeves...

"Einstein, you're late."

Lin Xian said with a smile, looking at the old man who walked out of the car door and straightened up:

"you……"

moment.

He stood there stunned, a smile frozen on his face.

He could see clearly.

Just as Einstein looked at him at this moment——

The two people stared into each other's eyes.

Same brightness;

The same deep blue;

The same flowing galaxy.

Two pairs of blue pupils looked at each other, as if four fireflies were frozen in the sky under the silent moonlight.

Lin Xian frowned:

"Einstein, your eyes..."

Einstein pursed his lips and stepped forward:

"Sorry, Douglas, I'm late. I think the same thing happened to both of us."

Lin Xian did not answer him directly, but continued to ask:

"What happened to you?"

"It's the cosmological constant."

Einstein came over slightly panicked:

"I don't know exactly what the reason was, but that day, November 1, I was at home in Princeton. The picture of the hydrogen bomb explosion broadcast on the TV gave me the inspiration to calculate the cosmological constant."

"The moment I calculated the final number of 42, two small electric balls with flashing blue light suddenly appeared behind me. One of them hit me and made me unconscious immediately; while the other small blue electric ball... It goes without saying, Douglas, it should have hit you too, right? When did you wake up?"

Lin Xian listened silently.

Rapid analysis begins in the brain.

Cosmological constant, 42, space-time particles, thousand-year pile, blue eyes, Einstein...

These once mysterious keywords are finally all connected at this moment.

turn out to be.

The space-time particle that hit CC and was supposed to hit me didn't fly from this farm, but from Princeton, which was farther away than I thought.

But coincidentally, it is actually related to Einstein.

Cosmological constant.

According to Einstein, the two space-time particles appeared at the moment when 42 was calculated... What is going on here?

[Who is controlling the particles of space and time, and who has laid the thousand-year stake? At present, it seems that both Einstein and CC are victims. 】

But the problem is...

Why was it that even after being hit by space-time particles, CC turned into blue stardust and dissipated, but Einstein seemed to be fine, with no other changes except that his eyes turned blue?

It seems that as the mystery is gradually solved, the mystery becomes deeper and deeper.

Lin Xian's expression was complicated and silent.

Einstein continued:

"After I woke up this afternoon, my eyes turned blue, and... I, I don't know how to describe that feeling, but you must understand! You must understand Douglas... There are countless things in my mind The lines of time and space are intertwined, and I, I can actually see the future every minute and every second! "

"Douglas, you are in the same situation as me. You must know more about me than I do. Can you tell me... what is going on?"

boom!

On a sunny Brooklyn night, the moonlight is gentle and peaceful.

But in Lin Xian's mind, suddenly strong winds rose and dark clouds gathered; a bolt of lightning struck the narrow kite, and the intense electric current spread along the kite string to Lin Xian, making him numb all over and frightened.

He took a deep breath.

Lower your head:

"Tell me, Einstein."

Lin Xian whispered:

"What kind of future do you really see?"

"In 1991, there was a global nuclear war, and humanity was destroyed in countless mushroom clouds."

Einstein spoke very quickly:

"1991, this is the farthest future I can see, and it is also the furthest time that human beings can go... Douglas, your previous thoughts were beautiful, but the reality... is so cruel, human beings simply will not Learn from history!”

"For example, if we don't find a way to intervene and stop it, human civilization will come to an end! It will come to an end in self-destruction!"

…

Listening to Einstein's answer, Lin Xian closed his eyes.

It seems.

My and Zhao Yingjun’s previous guesses were correct——

[The future that Einstein saw was indeed a false future. 】

In 1991, there was no nuclear war at all. Instead, it was because of the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the Soviet Union was completely ended, and mankind ushered in an unprecedented era of rapid development.

If Einstein could see the real future.

What he should see is the white light that destroys the world at 00:42, or the super disaster in 2600, or as he said at the last party, the super Donghai City with a population of 40 million...

No matter which one of these three results he saw, it made sense.

Can be biased.

The end of mankind he saw was a completely unfounded global nuclear war in 1991.

Obviously.

Einstein was deceived by a false future.

The space-time particle that hit him was the culprit that caused all this tragedy!

"you……"

Lin Xian just wanted to open his mouth.

There was lightning and thunder in my mind, turning the dark night sky into daylight; the kite flying in the sky was already in tatters, and the taut kite string began to tear under the violent pulling!

He quickly shut up and stopped.

This moment is a critical turning point in history and the limit of the flexibility of time and space.

Every word he says will reverse Einstein's fate and the curvature of space and time.

This is a consequence Lin Xian cannot afford.

So, Lin Xian kept silent.

Einstein looked up in confusion.

Walked over.

He held Lin Xian's hand tightly:

"Douglas, why don't you speak?"

"It doesn't matter! We are different now. We knew about this disaster in advance, so we can find a way to stop it! We can correct these mistakes in advance!"

"And, is it the same for you? I haven't eaten for three days and three nights, but I don't feel hungry at all, as if... when we were hit by that little blue electric ball, we also gained the ability to live forever!"

"This means that we can protect the fate of mankind for a long time, correct the future of mankind to the right track, and give mankind the best future!"

After that.

He turned around and pointed at the farm warehouse:

"You can see that I started building this underground shelter after 1945, originally intending to avoid nuclear war; I invited you here today to tell you about it."

"But now I have changed my mind, Douglas, let's save the world together! Save the future of mankind! This place is isolated from the world and deep underground...it can be our secret base."

"We can fake a false death and hide here or anywhere else. We...we have so many things to do. This is such an exciting and great thing!"

However.

Facing the excited Einstein.

Lin Xian had a blank expression and shook his head.

Unlike the calm sky in Brooklyn, his mind was still stormy, and the torn kite line was in danger:

"Sorry, Einstein, I'm leaving."

"Leave?"

Einstein was stunned for a moment:

"Where are you going?"

He had an ominous premonition in his heart, and hurriedly used the time and space line in his brain to check Douglas's future.

But found out!

The other party will turn into blue stardust and dissipate under the moonlight in one minute!

"No!"

Einstein held Lin Xian's hand tightly, and it hurt:

"No... Douglas, please, don't leave me."

"You gave me hope and strength... We are partners, we are partners who will save the future of mankind together."

"Don't leave, stay, okay? Stay, let's..."

Lin Xian broke free from his hand.

He took out a white square gift box from his coat pocket; inside, there was a watch that CC bought for him with all his belongings.

He put the small white gift box in Einstein's palm and asked:

"Keep it for me."

Lin Xian raised his head and patted Einstein on the shoulder:

"[One day, I will come to you and take back this watch.]"

After that.

Without looking back.

He walked towards the full moon that had just risen in the east.

Einstein could not accept this unexpected farewell. He looked melancholy and reluctant:

"You won't come to get the watch, Douglas... I can see the future, you won't come..."

"I will come."

Lin Xian walked farther and farther away with his hands in his pockets.

His back was stretched by the moonlight and draped over Einstein.

Then.

He raised his right hand high, pointed his index finger straight at the "kite" in the sky, and his thoughts kept climbing up along the kite line.

Einstein stared blankly at Lin Xian's back.

The right hand raised high just happened to be reflected on the full moon in the night sky, forming a hand shadow pointing upwards.

The next second.

Wow——

The night wind blew away the crystal clear figure, turning it into countless blue stardust...

It disappeared.
