Genius club

"Um……"

Lin Xian seriously thought about Jask’s crazy plan:

"Sending 22 detection rockets in 22 directions... If it were within the solar system, it would be okay, but on a scale of tens of light years, it is still too slim."

"No, Lin Xian."

Hafnium alloy trash can VV shook his head and poked Lin Xian's knee with his paw:

"The purpose of these detectors is only to observe whether the world-destroying white light comes from outer space, rather than to collide with the world-destroying white light like playing billiards."

"Since you can see that beam of white light in your dream, it means that it is visible light, and it should be visible in the universe."

"Just like the stars we see when we look up at night, in fact, the light of many stars came from hundreds or thousands of years ago. Even many of them have collapsed and exploded and ceased to exist. But we still have to wait until hundreds of years. Only then can their light be seen extinguished.”

"So, think about it from another perspective. Now we can observe stars hundreds of light-years away with the naked eye, and the detection range of the detector can also be hundreds of light-years, just like a space telescope."

"As long as these 22 detectors can observe a white light rushing towards the earth within their detection range, it means that Jask's theory is correct."

Jask smiled slightly.

Walk forward and touch the VV Tianling Cap:

"Lin Xian, your artificial intelligence is indeed very smart and lovable. I think I have changed my previous mind."

Subsequently.

He looked up at Lin Xian:

"But you are right. None of us know what the universe looks like light-years away, and no one knows what will happen."

"It is very possible that these 22 rockets and space-time particles were wasted in vain."

"But... the most fearless thing about scientific verification experiments is wasting all your efforts. Failures are eliminated one after another, and success is closer to success little by little."

"Even if my 22 rocket detectors find nothing in the end, there is actually no big loss except for some space-time particles; but if a certain detector really detects something, then we will make a lot of money! Maybe all the puzzles From now on, we have a research direction, and we are not far away from conquering it!”

Lin Xian nodded.

Indeed.

Anyway, ordinary space-time particles are really of no use. Jask's reuse of waste can be said to be the greatest value of ordinary space-time particles.

"You can give it a try. This is indeed a good idea. How are you preparing? When are you planning to launch these detectors?"

"It's almost ready."

Jask smiled and said:

"I have been doing this all these years and I cannot live up to the trust you have placed in me."

"I will prepare everything as soon as possible. When the rocket launches, I invite you to come and watch it!"

"Then I won't bother you looking for clues here. I'll go back and be busy launching the detector first. By the way, I also took away Einstein's oven here, and I have to quickly entangle the space-time particle inside. OK."

"The entire old Brooklyn around here is my territory. I have protected Einstein's underground shelter very well. No one except the three of us knows about it at the moment. You can just investigate here to your heart's content. I'm leaving."

Jask is always a busy man, always coming and going in a hurry.

"Okay, VV, it's your turn to do your work."

After Jask leaves.

Lin Xian pointed to the network server covered with thick dust behind the high platform:

"This is the foundation of the genius club's party system. The program and security system were all written by Kevin Walker. I think that by investigating the information here, we should be able to find out the true identity of Copernicus or Newton."

"Don't worry! Leave it to me!"

VV rotating clip is eager to try:

"Look, I'll find that old Yinbi for you! It's better to say... Even without this network server, I can still find Newton!"

"I have not been idle in the past 500 years. Every sweeping robot and trash can robot in the world has my shadow. They are my cells and my eyes..."

"Stop it."

Lin Xian quickly stopped VV from showing off to prevent it from raising the flag again:

"Quickly change your habit of talking big words. Haven't you suffered enough? Don't talk like you are very powerful and then be defeated by others."

"Block Noah's way!"

VV made a ghostly cry:

"Don't underestimate the bond between our trash can and the sweeping robot, you bastard!"

"..."

Lin Xian looked at the drama queen speechlessly:

"Don't you think it's outdated now that you play this shitty joke from 500 years ago? I'm embarrassed for you."

"Oh, you are as boring as ever."

VV was too lazy to talk to Lin Xian, started the network server, and started to crack:

"It will probably take a while to crack the program. Find a place to rest for a while. You haven't slept since you woke up from hibernation."

Lin Xian yawned:

"I am planning to enter a dream, mainly... I want to enter the dream to confirm one thing."

"What's going on?" VV asked curiously.

"you."

Lin Xian looked at the shiny silver hafnium alloy back:

"I can understand that Einstein's dissipation failed to cause changes in the world line or changes in the readings of the time and space clock."

"But now, the resurrection of a super artificial intelligence as powerful as yours has not caused Liu Feng's time and space clock readings to change. This feels very strange to me."

"It's nothing."

VV disagrees:

"When you copied me out of the third dream and activated it, didn't the dream world also change?"

"That's because you were eliminated!"

Lin Xian spread his hands:

"In the established future trajectory, you will be wiped out by the future virus brought by Fake Yuxi, so of course it will not cause changes in the world line."

"But the problem now is...Cheng Qian has been recruited by us and has become a capable general of Rhine University. You have evolved into a complete body. Who else can destroy you?"

VV’s eyes flashed green twice:

"I understand, what you mean is-"

"[You want to go to the ninth dreamland to confirm whether I still exist!]"

"If I still exist, we can communicate and transmit information across time and space. Even Jask's rocket detector plan that has not yet been launched, maybe I can tell you the answer in advance in the future... Of course, we still have to wait. Only after an anchor point is formed that is difficult to recover due to flooding.”

"And if I still don't exist in the ninth dream...then the problem will be big."

Even a person as smart as VV can’t figure out why it disappeared again? Who else has such a great ability?

Lin Xian's words also made him a little uneasy.

"Anyway, anyhow, you can go and have a look first."

VV added:

"Can't you find Yang Maimai's hibernation cabin? Now Yang Maimai is hibernating in an underground hibernation base. I will leave a copy of my clone in the hibernation cabin computer. You can try to find me there."

"Oh, I'm not Turing, so why bother with a clone scratching and chirping... Once bitten by a snake, I'll be afraid of ropes for ten years, so I might as well put a clone in every hibernation cabin computer! I really don't believe it. Someone can kill me in the next 100 years! That’s nonsense!”

"Okay, now all the hibernation cabin computers around the world have my backup, including the hibernation cabin where Maimai is sleeping. Hurry up and fall asleep. Let's meet there."

Einstein's underground shelter naturally had bedrooms and beds.

only……

That's all in the past tense.

After hundreds of years, any wooden bed will decay and collapse. The only thing that can survive time is hafnium alloy.

Unfortunately, Einstein was a pragmatist and did not have the leisure and elegance to prepare a bed.

Looking left and right, the only place suitable for sleeping is the hibernation cabin that Einstein prepared for someone unknown.

"Then I'll sleep in here."

Lin Xian patted the hibernation cabin:

"As long as you don't turn it on and don't cover it with a quilt, it's no different from a flat bed. I'll just relax here for a while."

He didn't take off his clothes, just popped up the upper hatch of the hibernation cabin, lay down in it, and closed his eyes.

He had always thought riding in a hibernation cabin was scary.

But now, after hibernating twice, I am really used to it. I feel like I sleep soundly here, as if there is a magical power.

I glanced at the thin and transparent mobile phone on my wrist, which displayed both the Dragon Country time and the United States time. I fell asleep at this point, just in time to fall asleep.

"Good night, VV, I hope to hear your good news when I wake up."

Lin Xian closed his eyes.

Gradually fell into sleep.

…

…

…

The ninth dreamland, underground hibernation base.

The girl opened her eyes, sat up from the misty hibernation cabin, and looked at a strange man in front of her handing over a manuscript.

On the cover, there are four words "Sky-Eating Demon Emperor" written in huge letters.

"This is?"

Maimai's eyes widened.

Just by looking at the name, you can tell how powerful this book is! I don’t know which master created it!

nice! Love watching! Want to see it!

"You take the book and read it aside. I'll use your hibernation cabin to do something."

The man directly pulled her out, pressed her on the seat, and handed over "The Heaven-Eating Demon Emperor":

"Just watch it carefully first. I'll give you electrotherapy later when you're free."

With great expectations.

Lin Xian put his head into the hibernation cabin and looked at the computer that issued the instruction sound and guided the recovery actions:

"VV."

He shouted softly.

However……

No response.

"VV?"

Lin Xian tapped on the screen as thin as a cicada's wings, and it made a thumping sound:

"Don't be dramatic when you are doing serious things. If you are here, come out as soon as possible. There are serious things to do."

However……

No matter how Lin Xian called, he got no response.

"..."

Lin Xian felt something was wrong.

The first principle of VV's underlying code is that you cannot be betrayed or deceive yourself, so if VV is playing tricks or joking with you, you will definitely tell yourself immediately.

That's the situation now.

really.

Just as Lin Xian predicted before——

"It is very likely that at some stage in this world line, VV was still wiped out. Even... this time it was wiped out even more completely, not even a single artificial retard was left."

But.

Who can have such ability?

Lin Xian kept thinking that he was about to leave the dreamland, but he didn't even think of the reason.

Smart and cautious like VV.

How is it possible to stumble in the same place twice?

VV will definitely focus most of its energy on self-preservation and safety in the future. With human wisdom, if you want to kill it again, or kill it completely like this, it always feels... the possibility is slim.

He stood up.

Looking at Maimai sitting in the corner with concentration and wide eyes:

"Does this book look good?"

"Masterpiece!!"

Maimai, who has been read eight hundred times, is still a brand new reader at this moment, clenching his fists excitedly:

"This book made my blood boil! I can't wait to write one!"

"Well...you are really obsessed."

Lin Xian glanced at his watch and waved to her:

"Bye~"

boom! ! ! ! !

boom! ! ! ! !

boom! ! ! ! !

The wheel of time rolls forward, creating two ruts that will never end, just like the ending that will eventually come together... The white light of 00:42 minutes arrives on time.

Burn everything.

…

…

…

After opening his eyes, Lin Xian sat up from the hibernation cabin, frowning.

"What's wrong with you? You have a bitter face."

Hafnium Alloy VV moved the crawler over and looked up at Lin Xian:

"Your worries are all written on your face. Could it be that...you still can't find me in your future dreams?"

Lin Xian nodded silently:

"Indeed, I haven't found you. You disappeared completely, like erasing a blackboard. You didn't even leave any artificial retardation."

"cut!"

VV dismissed it:

"Even if you wipe the blackboard, you can't wipe it clean without leaving any traces. How can there be such an absolute thing in this world that leaves traces?"

"Don't tell me, I really can't think of anything that can kill me! Even when the time traveler Yu Xi VS Killer No. 17, the blue snow that covered the entire Donghai City didn't kill me..."

"Although it is true that both me and the future virus in Donghai City were completely wiped out at the moment the space-time bomb exploded, we both have backups in various places on the entire network around the world, and we can return to Donghai City in an instant without any impact. None.”

"Hundreds of years ago, many software on mobile phones had cloud backup functions, let alone super artificial intelligence like me. The so-called three cunning rabbit holes, you don't even know how many I have bought for myself in the past few days. Phylactery! You can’t die!”

?

"Wait a moment."

Lin Xian suddenly jumped out of the hibernation cabin and walked quickly to VV:

"The blue snow you are talking about is the time when Yu Xi turned into a space-time bomb and exploded on July 1, 2024?"

"yes."

VV tilted his head:

"What other time can there be? Isn't it just this one?"

"Zhao Yingjun once told this story to Yu Xi. I was listening nearby, but she was too embarrassed to tell Yu Xi about the fact that you two were pregnant before marriage, so she did a little artistic processing."

"No, no, no, now is not the time to talk about this."

Lin Xian waved his hand to interrupt VV and grasped the key point:

"I always thought that the time and space explosion had no impact on you or the future virus. It just killed the travelers who did not belong to this time and space."

"I didn't expect that you and the future virus did not escape this time and space explosion. But...but this doesn't make sense. I typed you out letter by letter. You are a native of this era. Why is the time and space bomb... Can it kill you?"

He thought quickly and paced in place:

"This matter is so illogical."

"Let me summarize, that space-time explosion blew up the space-time killer No. 17 into ashes, charged two space-time particles that lost energy, and wiped out you and the future virus within Donghai City."

"In other words, that space-time explosion, although I don't understand its principle in detail, but in terms of the result... it will treat VV and future viruses as foreign objects that do not belong to this time and space, and will be eliminated."

"However, a contradiction arises here. Let's not talk about future viruses. VV, you cannot have any attributes of outer space and time, nor do you have the attributes of a time traveler. You should be like all the creatures in this world, and you should be vulnerable to space and time explosions. Just be immune.”

"I think this can probably explain one thing -"

Lin Xian raised a finger and said seriously:

"[The principle of space-time bomb is not to destroy, but to correct!]"

"correct?"

VV was a little confused when he heard it, but his head turned quickly:

"Are you saying that the essence of space-time bombs is not to destroy foreign objects in outer space and time, but to correct mistakes in this space and time?"

"Then since there is an error, there must be a correct reference object. According to your opinion, what is the basis for the time and space bomb to correct the time and space error?"

"[You also know that our time and space have jumped several world lines. If we use other world lines as the correct template and correct benchmark... wouldn't our entire world be wrong?]"

…

For a while.

Lin Xian and Trash Can stared at each other with big eyes.

They all felt as if some hidden logic had been discovered, but they couldn't connect the clues, causing their minds to be in a jumble of ideas.

"It seems that there is still one crucial point missing."

Lin Xian rubbed his temples:

"There is still one last key point left...to connect all these issues about space-time bombs, correcting space-time errors, and what constitutes an error."

"Ahem."

Hafnium alloy VV pretended to cough twice, leaned back and put his hands on his hips:

"Is it possible that this key point is in Newton's hands?"

Lin Xian turned his head.

Blinked.

He looked at VV in disbelief:

"You can't be so soon..."

"Hehehehe!"

VV made a standard villain laugh in the movie and snapped his fingers.

Instantly.

The surrounding monitors lit up at the same time, showing a photo of a skinny old man -

Puffy eye sockets, sparse eyebrows, concave cheeks, collapsed eyelids, high nose bridge, chin with a slit, slightly pale lips, narrow eyes...

Everything is so familiar.

Even though hundreds of years have passed, Lin Xian still remembers this face clearly! He even drew a vivid sketch!

"Lin Xian, you are right before going to bed. After waking up, there is indeed good news waiting for you."

VV moved the track and walked to the big screen.

Raised the clamp.

Pointing at the photo of the old man on the screen:

"Are you surprised? The person we searched for for so long 500 years ago and couldn't find even after scanning all the electronic photos in the world... actually appeared here."

VV's eyes flickered quickly, and he said with certainty:

"The old man who once trapped you to death in the fourth dream... is Newton!"
