Chapter 41 Keyword Sentence Construction

A few days later.

Lin Xian brought Du Yao back to Donghai City and to the research institute prepared for her. "Although I actually bought it, everything is registered under the Longke Academy." Lin Xian explained as he showed Du Yao around, "Dean Gao Yan of Longke Academy has taken good care of me, and everything has been handled very cleanly. From any angle, this research institute has nothing to do with me or Rhein Company, and the funding also comes from Longke Academy."

Du Yao turned her head to look at Lin Xian, "You have that much influence?"

"Hehe." Lin Xian chuckled, "Just some personal connections. I'm grateful that Dean Gao Yan appreciates me so much, he's really helped me a lot."

Here, Lin Xian was telling the truth.

At the Genius Club gathering on the 1st of next month, when Galileo asks again about solving hibernation amnesia, Einstein will definitely refuse to answer.

But refusing to answer is equivalent to admitting that this matter is related to a certain member present.

If Du Yao really makes a breakthrough and publishes the results, it would be tantamount to admitting it without being forced. It's better to be careful.

"The funding is very sufficient, as much as you need." Lin Xian continued to explain to Du Yao:

"You have full responsibility for the entire laboratory. You can recruit people as you please, but remember to lock the research direction in your neuroscientific field and don't dig into solving hibernation amnesia."

"That manuscript of the brain nerve electroshock helmet is very complete. As long as you make a breakthrough here and fill in the missing theory, you can directly create it according to the manuscript."

"I understand."

Du Yao nodded, "I understand what you mean. Everything is for confidentiality, and you have your own considerations, so I will naturally cooperate."

"Moreover, I won't explain so much in detail to you. Theoretical and directional breakthroughs don't necessarily have anything to do with stacking personnel, equipment, or investment. It depends on ideas and a flash of inspiration. Right, you said that word, and I agree with it very much." "For example, the proposal of Newton's three laws and the law of universal gravitation actually came from Newton's flash of inspiration. The well-known story of the apple falling on Newton's head is fabricated, but the general meaning is still correct."

"I will only concentrate on the breakthrough in the field of brain nerves. You are responsible for things outside of research."

Finally, the two finished touring the entire laboratory. Du Yao leaned against the experimental table, supported the edge of the table, and looked at Lin Xian:

"Next year, on Tang Xin's death anniversary, will you accompany me to sweep her grave? I hope that on that day, we can bring our results and report the good news to Tang Xin together."

"After all, this can be regarded as us following the path she left behind and filling in the last blank of hibernation technology. She should be very happy."

Speaking.

Du Yao sighed softly and looked out the window:

"She was always very happy and cheerful, as if she was smiling all the time. I can't even remember her other expressions. She was really a very cheerful girl."

"No problem."

Lin Xian agreed to her:

"I also have many things to report to Tang Xin, so let's make an appointment for Tang Xin's death anniversary next year and go to her grave to take a look together."

Du Yao's matter was finally rushed to completion.

Everything went smoothly.

I still have to thank Tang Xin for her connection in the dark, which allowed me to quickly gain Du Yao's trust.

During the chat, Lin Xian could also hear it.

The point that Du Yao was most satisfied with herself was not that she was excellent in other aspects, or how much Tang Xin liked herself. But rather—

That he kept his word, avenged Tang Xin, and cleared her name, which made Du Yao recognize him as a trustworthy, responsible, and responsible person.

Lin Xian handed over all the power of the research institute to Du Yao, and he would no longer interfere, just waiting for her to complete the results.

Originally, Lin Xian had prepared for the dream to change.

But after entering the dream, Lin Xian found that the dream was still unchanged, still the suppressed and suffocating Eighth Dream, and Miss Da Vinci's Savior Company still ruled the future world with a deformed management method. Now, it is not difficult to understand.

The anchor point of spilled water is hard to recover has not yet formed, the space-time elasticity has not been reached, and the future trajectory is still variable.

"Still can't be careless."

Lin Xian narrowed his eyes.

It depends on how Galileo asks questions and how Einstein answers at the next Genius Club gathering.

If there really is any emergency, he will immediately protect Du Yao and guard the only hope for mankind to overcome hibernation amnesia.

Back home.

I found a huge ball of dandelion rolling at the door.

After not seeing each other for a few days, the Pomeranian dog VV has gained a lot of weight and has become a round ball.

"Why are you so fat again?" Lin Xian asked.

On the sofa, Zhao Yingjun turned her head with a smile:

"Maybe it's because I've been feeding it too much during this time. On the one hand, there are more people feeding it, and on the other hand, I'm at home for a longer time now, so the time for feeding it is also normal."

"The key is that VV hasn't changed its eating habits from before. In the case of one meal a day, it always eats voraciously, like a starving ghost, eating a last meal, so it's like this now."

Lin Xian gently pushed the round VV with the back of his foot.

I saw it rolling two circles at a uniform speed on the ground with its big belly and short legs fanning, and then standing up with difficulty, dragging its belly back and glaring at Lin Xian.

"You can't eat anymore." Lin Xian said earnestly:

"Even pregnant women don't have bellies as big as yours."

"No way."

Zhao Yingjun beckoned Lin Xian to come over:

"Touch it and see, it's been more than ten weeks, and my belly is obviously bulging. The doctor said that after a while, I'll be able to feel the fetal movement."

Lin Xian sat down on the sofa and touched Zhao Yingjun's slightly bulging abdomen.

Sure enough.

It really started to swell. He really felt it was amazing.

It was an indescribable feeling.

Inside here.

There is a small life.

A person who will be graceful in more than ten years and will also sit on the sofa with them both!

"It's hard to imagine."

Lin Xian sighed:

"The two of us actually created a living person."

"It may sound silly to say this, but it is indeed a very magical thing. Even if science is extremely developed, it cannot breed real life, but it is such a simple thing for human beings themselves."

"Simple? Hehe." Zhao Yingjun chuckled:

"It's simple for you, but not for me. Fortunately, my morning sickness reaction is not very strong. You are the typical beneficiary, the company, the children, and the laboratory. You are really a hands-off shopkeeper for the rest of your life."

"Has Du Yao's matter been completely resolved? Then what is your next goal?"

Lin Xian leaned back on the sofa:

"Of course, it is to find Chu Anqing back. This is my ultimate goal and a promise that must be fulfilled."

"However, the current situation of the Genius Club does not allow me to directly ask about the Qian Nian Zhuang (Millennium Stake) and the cosmic constant 42. As soon as I ask, everyone will know." "At the next gathering, I will ask about solving the future virus in the network and resurrecting VV."

VV the Pomeranian heard Lin Xian calling it, rolled half a circle, squinted at Lin Xian, and asked, "What does Your Majesty need?"

"I'm not talking about you."

Lin Xian couldn't help but laugh when he looked at VV, who was stretched into a ball:

"It's the super artificial intelligence VV. I guess it's been suffocating in the robot vacuum cleaner. It's also quite uncomfortable to play a mentally handicapped artificial intelligence every day."

"Speaking of VV."

Zhao Yingjun looked at Lin Xian in confusion: "You told me that in VV's memory fragments, there is also a VV, a bearded, long-haired man. It's really amazing that there are three VVs in this world, and they all originated from the dog I raised."

"But I don't understand. Can VV's memory fragments only see her own life, that is, what happened between 2604 and 2624?"

"If the bearded man VV she saw is really you in that timeline, how should the logic be explained? Did you travel to 600 years later by time machine, or did you hibernate in a hibernation pod to 600 years later?"

Lin Xian shook his head: "Neither of them should be." He spread his hands:

"First of all, time machines cannot travel to the future. This possibility is directly denied in principle; as for the problem of hibernation pods, what reason do I have to hibernate to 600 years later? Even if I really hibernate to 600 years later, I wouldn't be so unkempt, right?"

"Moreover, the most confusing problem for me now is, in VV's dream, what's going on with that blue-eyed me?"

"Since the eyes are blue, it proves that I did travel through time and space, but time machines will not be created until 2234. In addition, with the existence of the law of space-time repulsion, I cannot maintain both blue eyes and my original appearance at the same time."

"Really, there are so many contradictions that it's hard to explain. In addition, Zhang Yuqian's montage-like dream makes it really impossible to sort out the logic." Zhao Yingjun listened to Lin Xian's narration without speaking. She lowered her head.

Thoughtfully:

"I am more inclined to think that the content Zhang Yuqian dreamed of and the content VV dreamed of should be the same scene, or at least related. It is unlikely to be independent of each other."

"After all, the Qian Nian Zhuang (Millennium Stake) is such a stable thing. For hundreds of years, the appearance of each Qian Nian Zhuang (Millennium Stake) has been exactly the same, and the time of birth and dissipation is exactly the same. It can be so stable—" "There is no reason why the things dreamed of by each Qian Nian Zhuang (Millennium Stake) are unrelated."

Lin Xian let out a long breath:

"I think so too, but is there any logic that can connect the dream content of Zhang Yuqian and VV?" He suddenly had an idea.

He thought of the "sentence-making exercises" that often appeared on elementary school test papers.

Those exercises all gave several keywords and then asked you to make sentences, requiring you to include all these words to form a complete sentence.

Why not give it a try?

Lin Xian took a pen and paper from the coffee table and wrote them down one by one:

Explosion, white light, mushroom cloud, newspaper, 1952, burning, Einstein, blue-eyed Lin Xian.

"Let's play a game." Lin Xian looked at Zhao Yingjun with a smile:

"Let's try to make a sentence, using as many of these keywords as possible to form a coherent description."

Zhao Yingjun understood:

"This is indeed a way to diverge thinking."

She stared at these keywords, thought for a few seconds, and then said:

"In 1952, Einstein caused a strong explosion, producing a huge mushroom cloud and white light. Everything was burning, newspapers, houses, cities, and blue-eyed Lin Xian."

"Okay." Lin Xian chuckled: "But this has too much subjective consciousness, defaulting that Einstein is the bad guy and portraying me as an innocent victim."

"What else can I do?"

Zhao Yingjun blinked at Lin Xian:

"I know you also understand yourself. You definitely wouldn't do something like detonating an atomic bomb. Would you cause an explosion that destroys a city and a white light in order to kill someone or to achieve a certain goal?"

"Definitely not." Lin Xian shook his head:

"Even considering the trolley problem, where success is often mixed with sacrifice, I can't think of anyone who has such a high status that they need to be killed with an atomic bomb."

"I personally feel that someone who can be killed with an atomic bomb can also be killed with an ordinary handgun; and someone who cannot be killed with an ordinary handgun is destined to be invulnerable to atomic bombs. After all, it's just flesh and blood. Smart as Einstein and strong as Tyson are not really that different in the face of guns and weapons."

Zhao Yingjun felt that it made sense, and also sat up straight on the sofa, trying to make another sentence: "An unknown disaster came, and white light, explosions, and burning simultaneously affected many

time and space. Einstein in 1952, Lin Xian in a certain era, VV in a certain era, and Zhang Yuqian, who was reading a newspaper, all disappeared in the white light."

"This is indeed a bit interesting."

Lin Xian agreed:

"It's also very thoughtful and more logical. But the white light that Zhang Yuqian saw may not be the same thing as the white light at 00:42 in my dream. Because the white light at 00:42 in my dream is very, very fast, basically arriving at the speed of light."

"Therefore, when I saw the white light, it was the moment the world ended. It was impossible to see the burning and explosion caused by the white light at all. So I am more inclined to think that the white light Zhang Yuqian saw was just pure white light, the white light produced by the mushroom cloud explosion, which did not have as much destructive power as in my dream."

"Otherwise, how could there be a chance for VV and Zhang Yuqian to observe? The white light at 00:42 will instantly evaporate everything without giving any chance at all. There is no way to see what happens the next second after the white light."

Speaking.

Lin Xian put his thumb and index finger on his chin and thought further:

"Perhaps we can consider it more deeply. Because blue eyes necessarily mean time travel, so time travel is a hidden keyword. Although it is not said, we must also consider this keyword."

"Therefore, blue-eyed Lin Xian can be completely broken down into three concepts, which are time travel, Lin Xian, and no space-time repulsion." Zhao Yingjun smiled:

"Indeed, after all, you have personally experienced time travel, so you should have a better understanding of it."

"Don't just let me guess here, you should also try it."

"Okay."

Lin Xian closed his eyes: "Let me try." He thought for a few seconds.

Countless related and unrelated pictures flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern:

In 1952, Henry Darger painted a portrait of Einstein. The great physicist's eyes were full of regret and despair, and he sighed, "Does mankind still have a future?";

Zhang Yuqian rotated on the lawn with a camera, Chu Anqing jumped from a height of 20,000 meters with a space-time particle capture device, and smiled beside a roaring bonfire, saying good night;

The cold and ruthless bearded, long-haired man VV, with quick knife and perfect gun skills, but ultimately hesitated in the face of the safe's password with the young;

On the stepped platform of the Genius Club, an old man wearing an Einstein mask slowly stood up, stretched out his index finger and pointed straight to the sky, announcing that he would create a better future for mankind;

The lonely and desolate Yellow Oriole turned back and smiled in front of the Little Mermaid statue, and the next second, she lay in his arms and turned into blue stardust. Her weak and illusory left hand brushed across his face, and her pleading eyes begged him not to leave Yu Xi;

Yu Xi retreated step by step in the face of the powerful space-time killer. A faint blue light flashed in her eyes. After shouting a heartbreaking "Dad!", she threw herself at the crystal blue-eyed space-time killer, turning into a blue snow covering Donghai City:

Pushing open the room where the big-faced cat father was in the Second Dream, the walls and ceiling were covered with 42s of all sizes. No small gap was spared, and each 42 was intertwined like mosquito feet, but no strokes overlapped;

The flickering space-time particles with blue electric light in the dark universe background jumped forward, coming from a distant time and space, a distant space-time crack, carrying the energy that does not belong to this time and space and the hope of crossing time and space;

In the bathroom at 00:42 in the morning, Lin Xian in the mirror suddenly stood up, smiled slightly, made a shushing gesture, and handed an invitation to the Genius Club from the mirror, gently placing it on the sink;

All these real and unreal pictures flashed through Lin Xian's mind. Slowly opened his eyes.

He stared at the chaotic and unconnected keywords on the white paper on the coffee table and said softly:

"Lin Xian, traveled to 1952 and his eyes turned blue; he found the man wearing the Einstein mask and tried to unlock the mystery of the Qian Nian Zhuang (Millennium Stake), but it caused a space-time explosion comparable to an atomic bomb mushroom cloud and was evaporated in the white light."
