Cheng Cheng and the Cicada
Chapter 24 Copernicus's Question (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Master Internet Joke)
I wonder how many members will attend this Genius Club gathering. The Genius Club charter states very clearly that you can be absent, even for many years, but it absolutely does not accept tardiness.
Come on time, or don't come at all.
In Lin Xian's view, it's never a bad idea to come, even if he doesn't ask questions himself, it's good to listen to other people's answers.
But in fact,
he found that not everyone thought the same way.
Some people, like the old man Copernicus, his physical condition no longer allowed him to continue attending meetings.
He said last time that he was going into a hibernation pod to hibernate. However, Lin Xian felt that he would still come to the gathering this time.
Firstly, to see if he was dead or not.
Newton looked at the clock outside the VR virtual living room.
"He's killed so few scientists, and they've all been killed before we released our results. He's also in charge of the follow-up development of the results, and he's also carrying out technological blockades."
"Jask, his hypocritical sincerity is just disgusting. This month, there have been another
eight scientists who have died for various reasons, and the time of death is always 00:42 local time. It must be him, or the dogs he's raising!"
"So, Jask..."
Newton was even more eager to hear what answer Einstein would give.
With this information, he could continue to investigate in depth, or probe from the side.
The emergence of hibernation pods was the first turning point in human civilization.
The answer Einstein spoke of, was the earliest date humans could obtain astatine-339! "It is indeed a problem."
Sitting on the low platform of the steps, the woman wearing the Einstein mask clapped her hands, signaling everyone to be quiet:
"This well-placed orphan is most likely Ji Lin."
Without any thought, he blurted out: "Let him tell you himself." "Anyway, I'm pretty useless."
"I have humiliation and respect for every deceased scientist, so I would never kill their innocent children. Not only that, if their children become orphans as a result, I will also be responsible for placing the children well and raising them." "So..."
Since I remember every mathematician I killed. "Heh."
I turned my head, the Einstein mask facing Jask: "I cannot."
At the end, it was still the tightly closed double brown wooden door, and the familiar and clear voice of Sister Jin Sizhi came from inside:
This is where the other geniuses are superior. "Einstein, my question this time is..."
Right now, I've already copied half of the blueprints. Except for astatine-339, which can't be obtained, all the other parts and equipment can be replicated in 2024.
"Hasn't Cai Yin arrived yet? He wouldn't have escaped an assassination, would he?"
Since Jin Sizhi's question already used the phrase "exhaust all possibilities," it means... Jask is also betting on the arrival of that day.
Newton stared at Einstein sitting high above, sincerely hoping that he could give a close date, the closer the better.
For example, Copernicus...
As soon as these words came out.
Perhaps Gauss's own purpose was to get a negative answer, an accurate answer.
Leaving others in a daze, and enlightening himself.
From this, it seems that Jask's focus and energy have indeed all been concentrated on the time machine.
"Playing games haha, is his character a toy?" "Hmph."
The date of Jask's death!
If Einstein gave an answer, every genius in attendance would know the method.
I turned my head and looked at Jin Sizhi with the Rhein cat mask that Jask hated the most: It's very possible that Gauss is using the elimination method.
"Most importantly, there hasn't been any follow-up in the news, it seems that Rhein also has some skills in handling this matter very cleanly."
"Well, since everyone is here, let's begin this month's gathering."
"Please remember this date, geniuses, the earliest time humans can successfully build a time machine is..."
What's even more refreshing is that, right now, the hatred of Newton, Angelica, and Jin Sizhi is all focused on Jask.
2. This substance must be very precious and have unique uses.
Jin Sizhi said that I haven't killed any mathematicians or boy bands, then of course I haven't killed Big Face Cat's father and Big Face Cat's daughter, they both died in the First Dreamland 600 years ago. In this future world without hibernation pods, Jask simply can't live until then. There are also some people, such as Newton and Da Vinci. Beside him, the middle-aged woman Copernicus interrupted Gauss again: What is the focus of Jask's question?
What the Oscars should really be awarding is at the Genius Club. "The geniuses in the Genius Club are all shrewd people."
"Last time he said he was going to hibernate, why isn't he going? To be honest, I feel like it's better to come to the gathering, the atmosphere and environment here is much better."
What will happen next?
"Da Vinci is very enthusiastic about the gatherings, and he always asks questions very actively whenever he comes here. To be honest, I really like straightforward people like him."
If the answer to this question is spread out, it will not only expose my identity and abilities, but in the end, I will lose both the battle and the war, unable to snatch astatine-339, and hand over this only opportunity.
"Any era, any situation, I will be here waiting for you, even if there is only
one member to attend the gathering, it will still proceed as usual."
A soft sound.
"Miracle."
Squeak—
Could it be that everyone is secretly trying to take the lead?
"No.2 Jask, the questioning always starts with him. What question are you planning to ask this time?"
Newton clarified his thoughts.
What Jin Sizhi is really concerned about is that I have killed many scientists and mathematicians, especially if there are children who become orphans as a result, I will also be responsible for placing and raising them. This question directly exposes two things: Facing Jask's explanation. For example, Gauss...
Take astatine-339 as an example. What a coincidence.
"Turing is completely dead, Einstein has confirmed this; Da Vinci is still active on TV, Twitter, and various banquets during this time, which is very surprising to me. But why didn't he attend the meeting today?"
Is that really the case?
I have already obtained the information I wanted. It has already formed an eight-corner encirclement.
1. I can foresee the future and know that this substance, which doesn't exist on Earth, is... "It's not as simple as you think, it's just because my daughter likes it." Interrupting Gauss was Jin Sizhi, his voice deep, steady, and serious:
"Rhein, I don't know who you are, and I don't think there's any conflict between you and me. If you want to avenge your deceased father and daughter, I want to say, you've got the wrong person. I could never do something like killing innocent people, and neither could anyone under me."
They joined the Genius Club in the last century, and they have basically asked all the questions they wanted to ask long ago. Perhaps their future plans have been planned out, waiting for the relevant technology to be activated. Therefore, in this situation, they don't need to ask any questions.
This way of asking is very clever. As soon as he finished speaking.
It was a young woman's voice, but in this middle-aged and elderly club, there didn't seem to be any other young people besides Newton.
Sitting in his own white wooden high-backed chair, crossing his legs:
But with each exchange, the questioning genius understood everything, completely satisfied.
After a few seconds of contemplation, Einstein slowly raised his head and said softly: Jin Si's voice became clumsy, penetrating deeply:
Don't worry about whether other people ask questions or attend meetings, I must have questions to ask.
"It's just playing a game with the children." I hope the time is closer.
"Good timing, my father was also a well-known mathematician." If he wants to use this to hinder technological development, I advise him to give up as soon as possible. This kind of inferior method will not stop anything. Moreover, among these eight scientists, there is still
one mathematician, he seems to have a special preference for killing mathematicians. If he just wants to stop technological development, there is no need to kill mathematicians." Tactics and human nature have been thoroughly understood by this group of people. But Newton understands.
The VR virtual living room disappeared, as if entering a time tunnel, dragging Newton back into this ancient and luxurious giant castle again.
Jask said that I would not indiscriminately kill the innocent or children. Newton roughly believed it, because that was how I asked Ji Xinshui and the First Sin to act.
Jask was obviously prepared.
Unconsciously, I began to identify with the role of Big Face Cat: "The time difference is not much."
Jask still gave an icy dry laugh: Freeloading a question opportunity. Just...
"He has he has."
Newton stretched out his hand.
"However, I'm still concerned about Rhein's situation. He can't possibly have died a few minutes after the meeting ended that day, right?"
Galileo's sister's voice: "It seems that this period of time is not very peaceful, or perhaps, some people are taking action?"
"Too bad..." "December 11, 2234." Newton held the golden badge in his hand.
100 Those geniuses will follow the method Einstein said to try to intercept this otherworldly material. Finally.
Jin Si narrowed his eyes even more.
So, deliberately mentioning this orphan here must mean that there is definitely something to it, something that really happened.
It is estimated that after asking this question, Copernicus will really go into hibernation, hibernating until an era when he can prolong his life, using technology and medical power to extend his life.
Deceit, falsehood, lies, and feints.
This way, when other geniuses hear Einstein's answer, they will mostly be at a loss, not knowing what that day means, and not knowing why it is that day.
Jin Si didn't say anything.
The emergence of the time machine can definitely be regarded as the seventh, and also the most important turning point!
Newton was also looking forward to it. "What he really wants to kill are only mathematicians. The other scientists are just a smokescreen to cover up his true purpose."
The VR vision inside the virtual living room disappeared, like entering a time tunnel, dragging Newton back into this ancient and luxurious giant castle again.
Jask's question was surprisingly consistent with the question I had prepared, almost identical.
"After so many years, he hasn't guessed anything right. However, I also admire him. For so many years, he hasn't only failed to catch who he is, but also failed to guess what his future plans are. So, compared to me, he is still better at hiding, old fellow." "Einstein, can you tell us what's going on with Rhein?" Or is it that...
Since he didn't get the answer he wanted, he would definitely ask again this time.
Jask is indeed very arrogant and straightforward in asking questions; I don't worry about exposing my identity, and I don't worry about others knowing the answer. Jin Sizhi's dry laughter was very hoarse:
Do you want to use an alternative question to indirectly ferret out the club member who possesses the time machine technology?
"It gives me the feeling that he is feinting, hiding the wood in the forest, deliberately concealing his true purpose..."
All the participating members stared at Jask.
"I have never remembered killing such a mathematician, let alone killing a child together, that is absolutely impossible."
Clap, clap, clap.
Secondly, you can't expose your abilities and plans;
Because I got the help of Emperor Gao Wen, I should be the closest person to the time machine in this Genius Club.
"The correct way to ask a question is to hide the information about astatine-339 and divert attention to the time machine." The recent translation has been severely affected, which motivates us to update faster. Thank you for switching out of reading mode.
He should know about astatine-339, and I still have the opportunity to take the lead and intercept it.
"I was clearly reminding him not to walk on electricity."
That probably stems from my absolute confidence and absolute trump cards. What about the others? What about the other geniuses? So...
Enough.
Finally,
a tall figure, wearing a ridiculous Rhein cat mask, strode along the red velvet carpet into the golden palace!
Listening to the questions we asked, they were all like idiots, like college students holding class meetings; but every question contained hidden secrets. Whoever doesn't understand is the most useless. "I'm just saying, you want to throw all the dirty water on me, isn't Da Vinci doing well?"
Everyone is very shrewd.
If Newton asked bluntly, "What methods can be used to obtain astatine-339 in the current era?"
Just waiting for a suitable opportunity to touch the mask on my face: But...
It is very possible that after the hibernation pod technology matures, they will also be absent for a long time.
I picked up the golden badge engraved with the Genius Club emblem and attached it to the NFC sensing area of the VR glasses.
Jin Sizhi took a deep breath: "I'm really curious, but I didn't ask last time. Can you share your mental journey with us? What is the reason why he would choose such a ridiculous mask to attend the Genius Club gathering?" In the anticipation of everyone.
We ask questions that make him feel inexplicable, unable to understand, and then Einstein's answers are equally inexplicable and incomprehensible.
So, specifically mentioning this orphan here must mean that there is definitely something to it, something that really happened.
It is estimated that after asking this question, Copernicus will really go into hibernation, hibernating until an era when he can prolong his life, using technology and medical power to extend his life.
Deception, false appearances, lies, and feints.
This way, when other geniuses hear Einstein's answer, they will mostly be at a loss, not knowing what that day means, and not knowing why it is that day.
Jin Si didn't say anything.
The emergence of the time machine can definitely be regarded as the seventh, and also the most important turning point!
Newton was also looking forward to it. "What he really wants to kill are only mathematicians. The other scientists are just a smokescreen to cover up his true purpose."

"Too bad..." "December 11, 2234." Newton held the golden badge in his hand.
100 Those geniuses will follow the method Einstein said to try to intercept this otherworldly material. Finally.
Jin Si narrowed his eyes even more.
So, specifically mentioning this orphan here must mean that there is definitely something to it, something that really happened.
The question is very powerful. "Cai Rhein."
This time, won't you have to make up for it? Jask snorted coldly:
The slender Gauss supported the white wooden chair, seemingly wanting to stand up: Facing Gauss's reprimand.
Galileo's sister looked at the ridiculous mask on Newton's face, and couldn't help but laugh when she heard this sentence:
I didn't expect it to be so fast, I was about to give an explanation to Angelica. The ancient and light brown double door opened from the inside.
Gauss's question looks very stupid, and Einstein didn't give a satisfactory answer.
Beep beep.
This time.
Newton admitted that during the last gathering, I really thought that this group of people were not worthy, and the questions they asked were neither nutritious nor structured. Looking at it now, I was still too useless, only able to see the surface and not able to see through the essence.
Newton's question. Opposite.
"It is a day in the early morning, my daughter suddenly had a high fever, and my father took my daughter out to the hospital, but they were hit by a truck and died on the spot. The time of their death was just 00:42."
A voice that had never spoken before, but was normally dignified, rang out:
After all, Einstein wasn't whispering to himself, any answer would be public.
Finally, you have to prevent others from intercepting his answer while knowing the answer. All of this is not the point.
Jask asked about the concept of time travel in the last gathering.
This time I will most likely ask about issues related to time travel. Everyone pricked up their ears, wanting to listen to the answer.
"Hehehe cough cough don't guess randomly, old fellow."
"I saw his news online some time ago, still so low-key, but it is clear why he didn't attend the meeting, this is still the first time he has been absent." Are you going to change your approach and re-inquire about clues to the time machine?
Equivalent to directly pointing out the turning point of human civilization, human history, and the human future!
And Ji Lin's parents, both of whom are mathematicians, died from a shooting at 00:42, and now there is no doubt that Jask did it.
"I'm very sorry, even if you exhaust all possibilities, the answer to this question will not change in any way."
Compared to this.
And Jask's question directly brought this undercurrent to the surface, allowing everyone to focus on the vortex, actively or passively, to welcome the day when time travel becomes possible.
Because Jin Si has already learned very clearly from Gao Wen that the time machine does not have any technical bottlenecks and can be easily manufactured; the only material that is stuck is astatine-339.
If that's the case. Newton chuckled.
Sister Jin Sizhi's voice came:
This question is very powerful. "Cai Rhein."
