Genius Club.

Chapter 150 Straight ball
"..."

Liu Feng looked at Lin Xian without saying anything.

He never thought about how great his introduction to the cosmological constant was, let alone such a fantastic idea as saving the world.

But the man in front of me...

But it always gives people a mysterious and magical feeling.

Thinking of that astonishing meteor shower, even though Liu Feng did not completely believe Lin Xian's words, he was more or less convinced.

"Can you briefly tell me what the cosmological constant is?"

Lin Xian turned his head and looked at Liu Feng:

"I have a general understanding of what the cosmological constant proposed by Einstein is. He said it is just an ordinary constant used in calculating the gravitational field equation. But do you agree with what Einstein said?"

"I don't agree."

Liu Feng shook his head without thinking:

"I think... [Einstein is lying]."

"lie?"

Lin Xian was surprised by this answer:
"Didn't Einstein finally admit that the cosmological constant was wrong? He even said that this was the biggest mistake of his life... Do you mean that Einstein said this on purpose? Is he deliberately covering up something?"

"Yes."

Liu Feng nodded and continued:

"I think Einstein's denial of the existence of the cosmological constant is completely illogical... According to his original research, although he could not directly prove the existence of the cosmological constant, he also had no way to disprove the non-existence of the cosmological constant."

"So, why is it necessary to deny the cosmological constant? I feel that many of Einstein's behaviors in his later years were very strange and eccentric... not like the behavior of a normal scientist."

"Many people said that because Einstein was old and faced many setbacks and persecutions in real life, he became depressed in his later years, which is why he behaved in some seemingly abnormal ways."

"But... I don't know how to describe this feeling. I feel that Einstein was... deliberately avoiding something regarding the cosmological constant. In fact, many of the research results he released were deliberately confusing."

"You're going a bit off topic." Lin Xian interrupted Liu Feng and asked the question he was most concerned about again:
"In fact, what I want to know most urgently now is, what exactly is the cosmological constant? What does it mean? What does it represent?"

Facing Lin Xian’s question…

Liu Feng was silent for a long time.

Finally, he shook his head:

"Sorry, I can't explain this. All the experiments I have done so far have proven that the cosmological constant is wrong. To be honest, I don't know whether this thing exists or what its use is."

"Perhaps, as you said, only when we can verify that the cosmological constant is correct can we get a glimpse of its mystery."

"So..." Lin Xian was not surprised by this result. He knew that Liu Feng had made no achievements in the field of cosmological constants, so he continued:

"So, even if I tell you the answer to the cosmological constant right now, you can't verify anything?"

"Yes."

Liu Feng answered affirmatively:

"It's just like pi. It doesn't matter what pi is. What matters is what pi represents. It's called pi because it's 3.14, not because it's 3.14."

"The same goes for the cosmological constant. It can be any number... but if we don't know why it is this number, what's the point? Mathematical axioms are like this. It's meaningless to know the answer directly. The process is far more important than the result."

"alright."

Lin Xian stood up and told his plan:

"In the future, I will build a special laboratory for you in Donghai City and provide you with sufficient funds and equipment so that you can continue your research on the cosmological constant."

"It's just that during this period of time, I'll have to trouble you to continue your research at home. Wait for my call. When I have dealt with everything, I will pick you up and take you to Donghai City."

"What are you going to deal with?" Liu Feng was very curious.

"Let's play a game of cat and mouse." Lin Xian shook his head and smiled:
"Actually, I don't know what my cat-and-mouse game is, but... for our safety, I have to make sure there is no danger to life before I can officially let you start the research."

Lin Xian looked at Liu Feng who was sitting on the stone, and did not explain these things in too much detail.

The murderer of Professor Xu Yun has not been caught yet. How can I let Liu Feng start research on the cosmological constant 42?

The two of them are now tied to the same rope. If the Genius Club kills Liu Feng because of his research on the cosmological constant, then the next person to die will definitely be himself.

Maybe the killer isn't the Genius Club.

But that day in Zhao Yingjun's office, Huang Que said in person, "Even if you don't cause trouble, trouble will find you. Maybe you haven't realized it yet...but your cat-and-mouse game has already begun."

Since Huang Que said so, there is naturally no smoke without fire.

Lin Xian plans to hold back for the time being.

Then look for opportunities to find the murderers hiding in the dark. Only after eradicating them completely... can I safely carry out my future plans.

Since Huang Que said so, this is a cat and mouse game of our own...

That's obvious.

Even if I don't take the initiative to attack, the enemies will come to me, right?

I don’t know if this so-called enemy is the same group of people who killed Xu Yun.

Lin Xian hopes that they are the same group of people...

Because I have figured out the pattern of their killings, in fact, as long as I don't run onto the road at 00:42, I can basically pass the level without any damage.

Of course, we still can't take it lightly.

……

After settling Liu Feng down and leaving him a large sum of research funds, Lin Xian left Shanxi and returned to the East China Sea.

After observing for the past few days, Lin Xian is still relatively relieved about Liu Feng.

His condition is still pretty good. He has turned his grief into strength and devoted himself to the study of the cosmological constant.

After all, this meteor shower made up for Li Qiqi's regret and fulfilled her lifelong wish, so her death was not as much of a blow to Liu Feng as in the original history.

Lin Xian also told Liu Feng that no matter whether the research on the cosmological constant had any results or not, he should not announce it to the outside world, and should not even disclose anything to the outside world. All matters should be handled after he had dealt with the affairs in the East China Sea and set up the experiment for him.

Liu Feng was also very calm.

He said frankly that all the funding came from Lin Xian, so naturally he would listen to Lin Xian. He had only one purpose -

That is to find a way to prove that the cosmological constant is correct.

Just as Lin Xian said, even if he could only be correct once, it would be the best reward for Li Qiqi.

boom……

The plane's turbine started up with a roar.

The Boeing 737 left the land of Shemxi Province and headed eastwards towards the international metropolis of Donghai.

After landing, Lin Xian hurried to MX Company to deal with the backlog of affairs.

He was indeed "missing" for too long this time...but after all, he is the boss of the company, and no one has ever urged him.

Zhao Yingjun only questioned him once, and after learning that he was not in trouble, he let him handle it as he pleased.

Lin Xian planned to spend two days concentrating on finishing the company's affairs, and then when he had some free time, he would go into his dream to look for CC and continue to sneak into Xindonghai City to look for the safe.

The process of sneaking into New Donghai City in the second dream is too complicated... If you miss the plot of the Three-Sword Thief, you can't join the Face Gang, so the time to enter the dream is still very demanding.

Before joining the Face Gang, they had to go to the grove in the backyard of Li Cheng's house to persuade CC. This meant that if they wanted to successfully sneak into New Donghai City, they had to start preparing in their dreams from noon:
“It’s really too much trouble.”

Lin Xian was reviewing the accumulated documents in the office, feeling that there were so many troubles both in dreams and in reality.

There was actually no need for him to stay at MX Company any longer. Since the invitation was fake, it was obvious that Zhao Yingjun had nothing to do with the Genius Club. This was just a misunderstanding.

When the time is right... I will resign from MX Company.

He was not worried that he would not see the yellow bird.

It is obvious that Huang Que really wants to join the genius club.

Although he didn't know what her purpose was, Lin Xian had a hunch that Huang Que would definitely come to him when he needed her.

at present……

Let's just follow the steps for now.

Everything is waiting for the start of the [cat and mouse game]...see who reveals the truth first.

ding dong~
While I was reviewing documents, WeChat on my phone rang.

Lin Xian picked it up and saw that it was a message from Tang Xin.

Tang Xin: Hi Lin Xian~ I heard from Gao Yang that you are back from Shanxi. Hey, are you free tonight? I want to invite you to dinner.

Tang Xin.

It seems that she has settled down in Donghai and has started working at the research institute where Professor Xu Yun works.

This dinner with Tang Xin was agreed upon at the class reunion, and it would be inappropriate to refuse.

Lin Xian replied directly:
"Let me treat you all and show my hospitality as a good host."

In fact, Lin Xian originally planned to find some time and invite Gao Yang, Tang Xin, and Zhou Duanyun to have a meal together.

After all, both classmates came to Donghai City to develop, and Gao Yang and I have been here for so long, so we should at least give them a try.

After agreeing on the address and time with Tang Xin, Lin Xian called Gao Yang.

But unfortunately, Gao Yang said he had to work overtime today and couldn't go.

"Are you really working overtime or just pretending to be working overtime?" Based on Lin Xian's understanding of Gao Yang, this guy is most likely lying.

"Hey, how can you be so tactless!" Gao Yang said angrily:
"Tang Xin specifically asked you out, and if I go and act like a light bulb, aren't you afraid that Tang Xin will stab me to death with a fork? Even if it's fake overtime today, you have to really work overtime!"

Doodle.

After saying that, Gao Yang hung up the phone.

It seems... I will have to have dinner with Tang Xin tonight.

……

night.

It was still the western restaurant near Zhao Yingjun’s home. The quality and taste were good, so Lin Xian made an appointment here directly.

“It tastes really good.”

After tasting the signature caviar, Tang Xin looked at Lin Xian and smiled:
“It’s much better than Western food abroad.”

"That means this place is not authentic." Lin Xian said with a smile.

"It tastes good just because it's not authentic!" Tang Xin was in a good mood today and dressed very beautifully.

She has exquisite makeup, pays close attention to the matching of her clothes, and even specially changes into high heels.

I guess she must have gone home and dressed up after get off work at the institute before coming for the appointment, unlike Lin Xian... who came directly after get off work and was dressed very casually.

"You don't know how bad the food is abroad!" Tang Xin frowned and continued:

"For international students, what they miss most is the food in Longguo. Every time I go back to China, I will order a lot of takeout and eat as much as I want, hehe... and then I will go to the snack stand at the school gate to eat the whole meal."

"Which school? Hangzhou No. 1 High School?" Lin Xian cut the small steak on the plate and looked up at Tang Xin:

"The snack street in front of our school is really good. The snack stalls that can survive have really made it. This place in front of the school is very competitive."

"Yes! Although I didn't go to Hangzhou No. 1 High School for many days, the snacks at the school gate have really made me miss them for many years!"

Talking about the past, Tang Xin's eyes seemed to be twinkling with stars:

"I didn't really want to transfer back then...but I was young at the time and my parents had the final say in everything. I cried for several times but it was useless. In the end, my parents still transferred me to the United States."

"But Lin Xian, I'm really surprised that you still remember me! I thought you probably had no impression of me at all. In fact, I was very nervous to attend the class reunion this time. I even backed out several times and said I wouldn't come... But in the end, I still wanted to come and see you."

"Oh? Am I so unforgettable?" Seeing that Tang Xin brought the topic back again, Lin Xian continued talking.

Now that Gao Yang, the interrupter, is not here, no one should interfere with their conversation.

"Hey, it seems you still forgot."

Tang Xin held her chin and looked at Lin Xian, but there was no disappointment in her eyes.

Lin Xian smiled embarrassedly:

"After all, it's been so long. Did anything happen between us?"

"Oh, it's normal that you forgot. It's just a small thing."

"Now that we're talking about it, tell me."

Lin Xian raised his red wine glass, motioned for Tang Xin to raise her glass as well, and they took a sip together.

Tang Xin's face flushed a little. After a few seconds, she lowered her head and said:
"It was actually a very small thing, I am embarrassed to talk about it...but it is true that I have remembered it for a long time over the years."

Tang Xin raised her head and looked at Lin Xian with a smile:

"I was in a physical education class at the time, and my period came suddenly, and I hadn't prepared in advance... I was very panicked."

"It was summer and I was wearing thin clothes. The blood quickly stained my pants. I didn't know what to do at the time, so I just stood there stupidly against the wall... I was too embarrassed to tell others because I was a transfer student after all and I didn't know anyone well."

"And then you saw it. You didn't say anything, but took off your coat and wrapped the sleeves around my waist, like a skirt, to hide the blood on my back."

"Really... You must have forgotten about it. But for me at the time, it was really unforgettable. For a little girl of that age, it was really a very embarrassing and embarrassing thing. The coat you wrapped around me... I felt like it saved my life at the time."

After listening to Tang Xin's description, Lin Xian felt a little embarrassed.

“I’ve done things like this before.”

He laughed awkwardly twice.

Even though Tang Xin described it so vividly, Lin Xian really couldn't remember it clearly.

Because he really didn't think it was a big deal.

Isn’t it normal for classmates to help each other, especially to take care of female classmates?
"You're exaggerating a bit." Lin Xian said with a smile:

"This is just mutual help between classmates. It's really not something worth mentioning."

"Maybe I just happened to see it at that time. I believe that if many classmates in the class saw it, they would also come to help you. Everyone is very enthusiastic."

"Of course, I don't need to say much about the girls. You may just not be familiar with everyone, but the girls in our class are all very nice. Even the male classmates... I believe that if Gao Yang and the others realize your predicament, they will definitely help you."

You can't let yourself be obsessed with such a trivial matter, right?
Lin Xian himself felt that it was not worth it.

however……

Tang Xin, who was sitting across the table, chuckled twice and held her cheek:
"What you said does make sense. It's not a big deal. Many people will help me after seeing it."

"but……"

Tang Xin rhythmically turned the fork on the table with her left hand. Her cheeks flushed under the influence of alcohol. She tilted her head and looked at Lin Xian:

"But at that time, I only met you..."
