Reborn My Name Is Kobe

Chapter 101: Boston Public Library

I can’t remember exactly when and how I returned to the hotel. I only know that when I opened my eyes again, I was lying on the big bed in the hotel room, and Jessica was still beside me.

Sleeping sweetly next to me.

I took out my phone and looked at the time, and found that it was about seven o'clock in the morning. Although I didn't know how long I slept, it seemed that my brain was awake at this time, and I probably didn't need more.

I fell asleep, but it was still too early, and I didn’t want to wake Jessica up, so I was going to find the video tape of Jordan’s game that I carried with me and watch it.

If I turn off the sound of the videotape completely, Jessica's sleep will not be greatly affected.

I gently turned on the TV, and then I remembered that this hotel didn't seem to have a special machine for playing video tapes, so I put the video tapes away again angrily, and then walked out of the room, ready to find something to eat first.

After eating breakfast, I vaguely remembered some scenes from last night, that is, the scene where Jessica and I walked in the snow, and how we finally sat cuddling each other on a seat on the roadside.

However, I still can't remember everything that happened next, not even a few fragments. Whenever I try to think about it, my head will feel dizzy for no reason.

In order to alleviate this uncomfortable feeling, I could only force myself to stop thinking about those things that were and were not, and told myself that maybe those things would be like some of the dreams I had before, which I had completely forgotten at the time.

But after a while, I will slowly think of it again.

I haven’t told Jessica about this strange phenomenon yet, because I feel like there really isn’t much to say about it. Jessica has to worry about a lot of things every day, and I don’t want to make myself weird anymore.

Dreamland further adds to this.

After breakfast, I sent Jessica a text message on my mobile phone, telling her that I would go to the gym to exercise for a while and then meet her later.

It was just 7:40 when I finished breakfast. If I go to the gym at this time, I will have at least about half an hour. During this time, I can work on every muscle I used yesterday.

Get enough relaxation.

Generally, our human muscles will experience soreness after exercise, and this soreness will generally reach a peak after 24 hours, and then completely disappear within 48 to 72 hours.

Of course, this is just a theoretical time. If you can do something to help the muscles recover after the exercise and help the muscles to clear metabolic waste, such as the alternating hot and cold bath method I used after the competition, you want to use the muscles.

The cold and heat alternately contract, thereby squeezing out the metabolic waste.

Facts have also proven that this alternating hot and cold bathing method is very effective. However, this bathing method is not recommended for those with poor physical fitness, because the process of alternating hot and cold bathing can easily cause the body to

The specific conditions for getting sick will vary from person to person based on each person’s constitution.

When I enter the gym now, I mainly do some ligament stretching and muscle relaxation exercises. I will not do any heavy-load strength training at this time. In fact, it is not appropriate to continue until the muscles have fully recovered.

It allows the muscles to undergo heavy exercise training.

Although my usual competitions and training are very intense, I still pay attention to this and try to give my muscles more recovery time.

Of course, for people like Kobe who have been doing high-intensity exercise and training since childhood, their bodies have been highly adapted to this intense lifestyle. So now that I have Kobe’s body, I can pay

Kobe's physical condition can be maintained at the best level at a smaller cost.

Others may have to put in twice as much effort to achieve the effect, but I may only have to put in half the effort to get my body back to health, but I will still put in at least twice as much effort to maintain the health of this body.

It's something I pay attention to all the time.

Today I want to try a brand new method of physical recovery training. In fact, the biggest difference from the training method I used before is that this is a combination of the knowledge about sports science that I know in my previous life memory.

A combination of training techniques that I learned specifically from the Lakers trainers during this season.

I tried to integrate their advantages to create a more scientific training method. Of course, today is just the beginning. I have no way to know immediately how effective this training is. It may take at least a period of observation.

Only then can we more clearly see how much progress this new training method has made.

The training time still passed quite quickly, and before I knew it, it was half past eight. At this time, Jessica also called me. On the phone, she had already gotten up and finished breakfast, and she just

Let's go to the Boston Public Library with me to find more information about the mystery we are looking for.

I put down the exercise equipment and took a quick cold shower to wash off the sweat from my body. The cold water helped me stay awake, which was very important when we went to the Boston Public Library to look up information later.

When I walked out of the hotel door, I found that Jessica had been waiting for me for a long time. She was wearing a very moving snow-white coat today, completely blending in with the surrounding white environment.

But I don’t remember when Jessica brought this snow-white coat. In fact, it was the first time I saw Jessica wear it today. This coat really suits her temperament and makes me feel like she is simply

Just like a beautiful and charming Snow White.

Maybe Jessica knew in advance that it might snow, so she brought it here specially, I thought to myself, and walked forward with Jessica.

When we arrived at the Boston Public Library, my brain seemed to be suddenly struck by lightning. A clear memory suddenly appeared in my mind and was playing like a movie.

came out.

"You said it in vain, but here's another question, how should we retrieve the deleted video tape information?"

"As for this problem, you need to go to another city to see it."

"What city?"

"Boston is the city where the Lakers' biggest rival is located. As for how to solve this problem when you get there, I can't tell you yet."

Yes, this conversation was exactly the conversation I had with the artificial intelligence that claimed to be created by humans from outer space. At that time, his words clearly mentioned that if we were to find those deleted videos from Jessica’s home video tapes,

For information, you need to travel to Boston.

Now that Jessica and I are in Boston, and the Boston Public Library in front of us is also extremely majestic, will the deleted information in those video tapes be stored in this place?

I told Jessica my thoughts and the previous conversation between me and the artificial intelligence. After listening to my words, Jessica was slightly silent for a moment and revealed an intriguing question.

expression comes out.

"Jessica, please tell me what you think about these."

"I just think it's really strange that the artificial intelligence appears there, because I wasn't there at the time, so there's no way to fully know what this artificial intelligence looks like, but judging from his conversation with you

, he seems to know many things, but he cannot tell us, and we must find the answers ourselves."

"That's right, this artificial intelligence and those so-called humans from the future are all dogs. Do they want to treat us as toys that can be teased at will?"

"But you can't completely disbelieve what he said. Anyway, we are already in Boston now. It's hard to say whether we can find the deleted video tape information in the future."

After finishing speaking, Jessica and I walked into the door of the Boston Public Library together. From the entrance introduction of the library, we learned that the Boston Public Library is currently the largest urban public library in the United States, with a collection of books.

With more than 15 million volumes, the collection is second only to the Library of Congress and Harvard University Library. It was opened to the public after its completion in 1895.

This large-scale library gives people a very simple and solemn feeling. Its style is a bit like the church-like buildings in medieval Europe. It has a gorgeous and elegant temperament as a whole, making people feel as if they have traveled through hundreds of years when walking in it.

Time walks on the avenue formed by the integration of years.

Like the Free Library of Philadelphia, the Boston Public Library is also divided into many different reading areas. However, because we don’t have enough time today, Jessica and I plan to find what we want first.

Information, if we can successfully find the information we want before noon, then we can use the extra time to read other books.

When you are in this ocean of 15 million volumes of knowledge, you will feel very small and humble, and you will also feel a special power lingering around you. This may be

The power of knowledge, even though you may not be able to see them with your naked eyes, you can still know that this powerful power is around you.

Each reading area in the Boston Public Library is much larger than the previous reading area in the Free Library of Philadelphia, and the flow of people is obviously greater than that there. Even though it has just opened, it has already begun to appear around us.

Many people come to read and borrow books.

There seem to be people of all ages among these people, but there are obviously more elderly people than in the Free Library of Philadelphia before, perhaps because the historical archives stored in this library will be more

A little more.

After entering the library, I went to read the zoning information about the library and found that the Boston Public Library indeed stores a large number of government-related historical files, and they are all free to read, but some of the more important books

It cannot be borrowed.

When Jessica and I went to these areas where historical archives are stored, we found that the management intensity of these places was basically much looser than that of the very liberal library, but people who would go there to read these historical materials from hundreds of years ago

It’s true that there aren’t many, or it’s just some older people who come here to do it.

Jay and I

Sika's appearance in this area actually seems a bit strange. After all, few young people particularly like historical archives. There is a beautiful girl accompanying him. This is indeed very abnormal in the eyes of ordinary people.

The book reading area where these historical materials and archives are stored is particularly large. Although it has been divided several times, when I entered one of the small areas, I was still frightened by the layers of archives and books in front of me.

Jessica and I had seen some of the world before at the Very Free Library. Logically speaking, we shouldn’t be shocked by what we saw in front of us, but seeing the scale of the books in front of us was still shocking.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

I lament how much energy Americans put into recording and summarizing historical archives. At least from this point of view, this country with a short history does have an excellent habit of recording history. I believe that many years from now, people will

It is possible to clearly find a series of clear historical records of this country since its founding.

And the most critical point is that the historical records of the United States are very strict, and it is difficult to modify or interfere with them through personal will. After all, this is a country with three separations of powers, and political power is often unable to completely

Covering the sky with one hand, he is above those who record history.

This fully guarantees the authenticity and objectivity of American historical archives. Although there is no complete guarantee that these historical archives did not include the author's personal emotions and opinions when recorded, it is still relatively fair and fair.

It is objective and will completely record historical figures and events.

All the speeches of many important figures in history at an important meeting can be clearly recorded. Years later, people can see, for example, when signing important agreements like the Declaration of Independence, everything said by all participants

One sentence, and the authenticity of each sentence can be guaranteed.

This is a very scary point. The existence of this kind of historical archives can greatly increase the psychological pressure of politicians, making people in power more or less consider the records that their words and deeds may leave in history books.

, whether it is the US president in history or the current US president, all their actions and words represent this country.

Therefore, all their speeches in formal occasions will be specially recorded by someone, such as some important meetings, some important courts, and some processes related to the implementation of national policies. Generally, there will be discussions and coordination between various forces.

The separation of powers in the United States is the mutual independence of legislative power, executive power, and judicial power, and this independence is real independence, although this separation of powers was not complete for a period of time at the beginning of the founding of the United States.

were established, and American citizens lacked the habit of monitoring and enforcing these powers.

But with a series of very important events and great figures, they gradually put the United States on the right track of separation of powers, and it has never deviated from it since. Among them, the supervision of American citizens played a very key role. After all, American citizens

Have the legal right to use firearms.

Another point is that Americans attach great importance to the implementation of the Constitution. In a strict sense, all laws must be created and implemented based on the Constitution as the most basic spirit. The Constitution is a commanding height that no individual or group can surpass. This is

Very importantly, it is precisely because the U.S. Constitution has such supreme power that the federal laws extended by it can have such powerful effect.

In the U.S. Constitution, American citizens can legally use guns to overthrow the government. This is a constitutional spirit that is almost impossible to find in the world. It also lays the foundation for U.S. judicial legislation and judicial independence.

A very important point is that it ensures that executive power cannot have a direct impact on legislation and judiciary.

The legislative power of the United States is only possessed by Congress, and even the president does not have the power to veto or resist laws enacted by Congress. In the time and space of my previous life, there was the 1998 KLD v. City of New York case by the President of the United States, which was the highest

The court pointed out that the U.S. Congress should not grant the president the power to veto item-by-item bills because such authorization would allow the president to veto item-by-item bills before signing them, which violates the spirit of the Constitution.

The President of the United States and the federal officials under the President of the United States have executive power. The President of the United States has the power to appoint and remove federal officials. However, the power of the President of the United States can only extend to the executive agencies of the United States. The President of the United States is responsible for all matters of non-executive agencies.

No authority to intervene.

The judicial power of the United States lies in the Supreme Court and some subordinate courts established by the Supreme Court and Congress. Judges must be appointed by the President after listening to the advice and consent of Congress, and their positions are lifelong.

Generally speaking, Europeans and Americans have a preference for older judges just like Orientals have a preference for older doctors.

They all believe that older and more experienced judges will be able to carry out judgments more fairly. One of the very important reasons is that in addition to legal provisions, court decisions also need to take into account a large number of human ethics and other comprehensive considerations.

Therefore, only judges with rich experience in adjudicating cases can consider and make decisions in a more objective and fair manner from multiple aspects. This is agreed by the vast majority of people. It is precisely for this reason that federal judges are tenured for life.

The larger and more experienced the judge, the higher his status.

Although the separation of powers in the United States has slightly reduced some of the mutual efficiency, it actually enables the three powers to be implemented smoothly and effectively, preventing any one aspect of power from being too unbalanced.

Of course, there are also some bad things in the U.S. government, but the separation of powers has limited the power the U.S. government has to the greatest extent, and it has worked hard to keep power in a cage and prevent it from becoming an opportunity.

The devil that wreaks havoc at will is probably an important reason why the United States has been able to develop steadily and rapidly since the founding of the country.

Because the triangle is the most stable figure, the mutual constraints of the separation of powers also make the United States' power system more balanced. Only under this balance can the United States develop in a long-term and stable manner.

Jessica and I found a large amount of historical materials recording the presidents of the United States and the federal government here. However, the purpose of our coming here today is not to find these, but to find what we want in this vast archive.

However, there is one biggest problem, that is, Jessica and I don’t seem to know what we are looking for, or we don’t have a clear direction or hint.

Before entering this huge library at first, Jessica and I felt that we could find what we wanted in the limited time. Even after reading at the Boston Public Library in the morning, we still found it in the afternoon.

If you can take the time, go to the Kennedy Library.

But reality slapped Jessica and I mercilessly in the face. Not to mention reading many books in the Boston Public Library, even a complete trip to this huge library would take several hours.

In this ocean of historical archives, we may only be able to see a very small part of the content in one day, and it seems too difficult to find what we want.

Therefore, Jessica and I began to discuss that we should find a more efficient method. Perhaps we need to first seize the most critical direction point we need to find, such as narrowing the time to a certain range, and then reducing the area to

Narrow it down to a certain range, and finally narrow down the events and characters to a certain range.

In this way, based on the library's index, we may still have a chance to find the archive information we want.

After discussions between Jessica and I, we formulated a preliminary plan for searching for information. First, we both had to search for information separately, and then each person would be responsible for an area. Then, if we found important information, we would call the other party on the phone.

Secondly, we also made some plans for the area we first checked. We started with the data from the gold rush period in the 19th century, and tried our best to check the archives of major cities in the western region.

Then among these complicated materials, we must read with focus, first looking for archives of that special event, just like the archives we found in the Free Library of Philadelphia before.

.

Of course, whether we can find similar information of huge value depends on our luck today.

After making the plan, Jessica and I started to implement the plan separately. Among the countless files, sometimes your eyes will feel a bit dazzled, because at the same time you may

When you see many book covers, they will affect your concentration to some extent.

And the text size in these files is also relatively small, just like densely packed little ants. When there are too many and too dense, you sometimes feel that your eyes are a little blurry and your head is a little dizzy. This kind of

It feels like it is not necessarily possible to get relief in a short time. Even for a period of time, your eyes will be blurry and you will not be able to read the words in the book clearly.

This may be a problem that easily occurs when you focus too much. After all, reading these dense texts for too long can easily put your eyes and brain into a state of fatigue.

I browsed through this information very quickly, and I jumped at every opportunity. I didn't have this ability at the beginning, but as I read more and more files, I found that I had to learn this ability.

Otherwise, there are so many archives, even just looking at their names and filtering out the archives that may have useful value would be a very arduous task.

In addition to the visual fatigue I mentioned before, I will force my eyes to rest every once in a while to ensure that I will not make any major mistakes, misread or miss something during the subsequent reading process.

Useful information.

Of course, judging from my current reading speed, it is impossible to make any mistakes or omissions at all. I even feel that I may have missed some quite useful information, but I don’t have anything else to say about it.

The solution is that those files that have been viewed have been viewed, and it is impossible to re-check them in a short period of time.

I feel more and more that what Jessica and I are doing now is like buying lottery tickets, and then hoping to buy countless lottery tickets for a few dollars, and then try to win the grand prize. Although such a chance exists, it can

It would be bad if we meet each other.

And when we buy lottery tickets, we still jump in and buy them because there are too many lottery tickets. It is impossible for us to take every lottery ticket seriously, so it is even possible that some lottery tickets have already been issued.

We won the big prizes, but we missed them due to our negligence, and it is difficult for us to find these missed lottery tickets again because we have too many lottery tickets in our hands.

This lottery drawing process lasted for more than an hour. Both Jessica and I felt a little tired, so I called her out, took her hand to the area with seats, and then pulled her to sit down.

Let’s talk about each other’s lottery results slowly.

"Jessica, I wonder if you've discovered a pattern."

"What pattern did you discover?"

"These archives that record major events in American history all seem to be recorded in a very similar way, I mean, even if some archives are separated by decades, or hundreds or even thousands of kilometers,

, but they all seem to have some very similar places.”

"These files should all be revised according to similar standards, so isn't it normal for this to happen?"

"That's not what I meant. If you think about it, even if these files are revised according to the same standards, many of these files are actually handwritten. And if you look carefully, the handwriting on these files is not the same.

, but there is a certain similar style of writing in it, which makes people feel that all these files are from the hand of the same person."

Although I didn’t have a deep understanding of calligraphy in my previous life, I was still an amateur calligraphy enthusiast, so I still had some understanding of some of the rules of human handwriting. Now when I see these English handwriting

, I didn’t have such a strong feeling that something was wrong at first, but when I opened these files at will, I found more and more that something was not right about these files.

In fact, many of the historical archives in the Boston Public Library are first-hand materials that were originally stored here, so the papers in most of the archives have turned yellow, but they were bound and protected in some way later.

So that these aging files can still be preserved completely.

The vast majority of these archives, which are more than a hundred years old, were originally recorded by handwriting, and there were even some manuscripts from the initial recording period. They were the kind of manuscripts that were written like dragons and phoenixes. After all, the people on the scene spoke so fast.

So fast, if you don't have superhuman hand speed, how can you record these conversations completely immediately?

It was after seeing these initial manuscripts that I became more convinced of the authenticity of the contents in these files, because it was obvious that most of these scrawled manuscripts were extremely well preserved, and the handwriting in them seemed to have some kind of character.

Like your own life, it slowly spreads from the paper, turning into elves flying in the air, flying to the hands of those who know how to unlock the codes of their elves.

I don’t know if I have the key to unlock their elves’ codes. After I told Jessica all this, and after a period of silence, Jessica nodded slightly.

Agree with my point of view at this time.

"Jessica, do you think it is possible that these files are all from the work of a certain person, but think about it carefully, how can this possibility exist? Who can seem to have a clone?

Recording so many files at the same time."

"Maybe the files you compared are too few. If we get some more files for comparison, let's see if there is such a coincidence in the handwriting among them."

Jessica brought over some other files. These files were brought over by Jessica from another area. When we put the different files on the table and spread them out for comparison, the results that emerged still surprised both of us.

They were all extremely surprised. In fact, most of these handwritings were indeed correct.

However, the handwriting does not belong to just one person, there may be several people, but the same handwriting does appear at different times and places, which may be separated by decades or kilometers.

Jessica and I were thinking about whether it was possible that the people who recorded the files were actually those few people, and their duty was to record the actions and words left by important figures in these important events.

But as Jessica and I brought in more and more files for comparison, we gradually overturned this previous guess, because under normal circumstances, a record-keeper can only work for 20 to 50 years at most.

, or maybe when you reach the age of 60, it is unlikely that someone in his 70s or 80s will still be a record-keeper. Besides, being a record-keeper is a very boring job. If he has been doing the same job for decades, he will not feel uncomfortable.

Is it boring?

Even if we assume that such a person exists, when almost the same handwriting appears in some historical files spanning eighty or even hundreds of years, the previous guesses seem so ridiculous.

There is no one who can do this kind of work continuously for a hundred years, haha.

Thinking of this, Jessica and I both looked at each other with doubtful expressions.

But then we turned our thinking to the other side. It seems that this span of time and distance can prove one thing, that is, there does seem to be one or even many people who travel to and from different time and space.

Specialized in serving as recorders at the sites of these important historical events, and completely recorded these materials.

Because Jessica and I are not that familiar and understanding of the specific historical events recorded in these files, it is actually difficult for us to truly understand the contents of these files.

Although many of the contents of these archives are oral records, the oral habits of Americans more than a hundred years ago are still somewhat different from those of today. In other words, some of the verbal gags that existed at that time are difficult to interpret when people today interpret them.

There may be a certain degree of dyslexia, which even scholars who specialize in studying these historical materials may not be able to fully understand, let alone Kobe, who only has a middle school education. With his memory and knowledge, I can now naturally

I also can’t understand a large part of it.

Jessica is slightly better than me. She should be regarded as the kind of pretty erudite female academic master. Maybe it is because of the genetic influence from her family lineage. She seems to have considerable talent in learning various comparisons.

The most important thing is that she can learn unfamiliar knowledge very quickly and can find the tips of learning in a short time. I think it is a pity that she has not been able to enter a prestigious university for further study.

But if Jessica really went to college, how would I have the chance to meet her? When I thought about it, I immediately let go of it. After all, there is no way to have the best of both worlds in life. If you want to get something, just

You will definitely need to give up something.

Sometimes after a lot of hard work, you seem to have finally achieved the success you dreamed of or achieved a certain ideal, but you don't necessarily know how much you have sacrificed for it and how much you have paid for it.

How heavy the opportunity cost is.

But isn’t the most amazing thing about life like this? Each of us will face a variety of choices, and then we will also have to bear the consequences of the various choices we make. Only

When we understand the price our choices will pay and still stick to our choices resolutely, then we have truly grown up and matured, and learned the philosophy of life contained in the trade-offs.

"Jessica, it seems that those future humans who can freely travel through time and space have also participated in the recording process of these important histories, but we still don't know the fundamental purpose of these future humans doing this.

What, are they trying to rewrite history or simply record history? What is the value of recording history itself to them?"

"This is indeed a very puzzling thing. Normal people will not expend huge energy for no reason to do something that is not beneficial to themselves. At least the vast majority of human beings will not, not to mention these coming from

In the future, humans will have higher intelligence and technological levels, so there must be some reason why they have to do this. We can think along this line of thinking, and maybe we can figure out why these people do this.

Made.”

"Actually, I have been wondering whether these future humans who can travel through different time and space will themselves be restricted by some higher-level rules. The artificial intelligence before told me about the existence of the highest rules of the universe, so maybe these

The process of human beings traveling through time and space in the future is restricted by some of the supreme laws of the universe, so their actions are not at their will. The things they have done in history may seem strange, but in fact there must be something bigger hidden behind them.

secrets, and more reasonable reasons.”

"Well, what kind of rules will bind these future humans who can travel through time and space?"

"It's really hard to understand with our way of thinking. It's like the ancient people, no matter how hard they tried to learn knowledge, couldn't understand some of the scientific knowledge and theories put forward by modern people. This is because they learned from childhood.

On the contrary, knowledge has become an existence that limits their imagination and breadth of thinking. If they want to expand their breadth of thinking, in a sense, they must give up their original existing knowledge and use a very empty brain.

Just learn and think about a new knowledge system.”

"So our way of thinking based on existing scientific theories cannot understand the behavior of these future humans, because the starting point of their way of thinking is different from ours. In their view,

Things that are very reasonable will become very unreasonable in our eyes."

"Jessica, you are really quite smart. If I give you a little reminder, you will be able to understand the most critical part of this."

"If this is really the case, then wouldn't there be no way for us to find the real reason why they did this? Otherwise, wouldn't we have to completely abandon the logical way of thinking we used before to have a chance to change it?

Further, reach the thinking realm of these future humans.”

"I know this sounds incredible, but I think it is very difficult to do this just through our current methods. The inherent way of thinking is not so easy to get rid of, so maybe we have to

Find another way to accomplish this goal."

"Have you already thought of this method?"

"That's right."

"What is it?"

"Dream!"
