Genius Club.

Chapter 382: Their New Journey
Zhao Yingjun looked at Yan Qiaoqiao who was lowering her head.

Suddenly.

Thinking back to the conversation she had with Brother Wang on the rooftop of the MX Building that day...

"So when did you start to feel like a father?"

She asked Brother Wang this question at that time.

This is a very abstract question, but Wang Ge answered it without hesitation:

"At the moment when my daughter was wronged."

……

seriously.

Zhao Yingjun couldn't fully understand what Brother Wang said at the time, and she did feel that it was a bit pretentious and making a big deal out of nothing.

but now.

Looking at Yan Qiaoqiao's aggrieved and lonely look in front of me.

Her nose felt sore.

He bent down, stretched out his arms, and hugged the petite figure like a flower bud:

"sorry."

she said softly.

Even though, many things were not her fault;
It wasn’t that she gave birth to the child;
It’s not that she missed out on the companionship of her childhood;

but……

"sorry."

She said it again, closing her eyes, feeling the slightly cold body temperature in her arms, which gradually seemed to become warm.

Zhao Yingjun straightened up.

Looking at the bouquet of carnations in Yan Qiaoqiao's hand.

Dilapidated and dilapidated.

The tin foil used for the outer packaging was wrinkled and the flowers were scattered.

But at this time.

But it is the gift that Zhao Yingjun wants to receive the most.

She pointed to the flower:
"Where did this bouquet of flowers come from?"

Yan Qiaoqiao pointed to the park entrance in the distance, which was already empty:

"Picked it from the trash can."

Hear this answer.

Zhao Yingjun smiled unexpectedly yet not unexpectedly.

Think about it carefully.

Yan Qiaoqiao didn't have a penny on her, so where could she buy flowers from? She could only pick them up from the trash can.

"Give it to my sister, okay?"

Zhao Yingjun is somewhat looking forward to it:
"I'd love this bouquet of flowers...if you could give it to me."

"Although I'm not your mother, I can try to be gentler, more patient, and more tolerant. I can try to be a good sister, protect you, and take good care of you."

Yan Qiaoqiao nodded.

Holding the bouquet of light yellow carnations between the two of them, the lingering fragrance of the flowers drifted through the air and permeated into the nose, making it particularly sweet:

"For you."

Yan Qiaoqiao said softly.

Zhao Yingjun solemnly took the first bouquet of carnations in her life and admired it carefully.

like very much.

She flattened the wrinkled tin foil bit by bit, and the flower still looked complete.

Only one bunch though.

But a carnation is a carnation.

There are many emotions in this world that cannot be described quantifiably.

"Thank you, Qiaoqiao."

Zhao Yingjun smiled slightly:
"I love so much."

She inexplicably recalled the bunch of wrinkled roses that Lin Xian gave her on the viaduct where she and Lin Xian flew together at the beginning of last year, and she couldn't help laughing:
"I really didn't expect that..."

"The two most important bouquets of flowers I have ever received were both picked up from somewhere else and were both wrinkled like this."

Yan Qiaoqiao tilted her head:

"Two?"

"Who gave you the other bouquet?"

Zhao Yingjun looked at Yan Qiaoqiao's curious and innocent face, rubbed her hair, and smiled gently:

"You will know the answer."

"By the time……"

"[How about asking him to tell you this story in person?]"

Yan Qiaoqiao nodded obediently:
"it is good."

Zhao Yingjun couldn't bear to put the flowers into her handbag, as that would make them even more wrinkled, so she switched hands and held them in her left hand.

She saw the game coin in Yan Qiaoqiao's hand again...

Think of the scene at the claw machine.

Yan Qiaoqiao didn't catch any dolls.

So it is proposed:

"How about we try the claw machine in the mall?"

"Can you catch it?"

Yan Qiaoqiao raised her head expectantly.

“You can try again!”

Zhao Yingjun encouraged:

“Although I don’t know how to catch it, I can learn.”

……

The sky was already dark, and the lights of thousands of houses in Donghai City were lit up.

Two beauties, one big and one small, held hands and stood up from the chairs in the park pavilion. They looked like sisters or mother and daughter and walked into the bustling large shopping mall next to them.

Soon after.

The two of them came out of the game hall. Yan Qiaoqiao was holding an arrogant big-mouthed monkey in her hand and waving it happily in the air.

This doll is ugly though.

But it took the two of them a long time to finally catch it.

Zhao Yingjun also discovered it later.

If you want to catch the doll in this obviously cheating claw machine, you have to be stubborn...

Don't aim too high, don't try to find so-called techniques, just focus on throwing coins into a doll and grab it blindly.

There will always be an inexplicable opportunity when the claws of the doll-clawing creature will grab the doll tightly as if it is angry and will not let go at all, and will move the captured prey directly to the exit.

This is how this arrogant giant monkey came to be.

it a accident.

Just like the appearance of Yan Qiaoqiao.

The two came to the underground parking lot and got into the Alpha business car that had been waiting for them.

Yan Qiaoqiao still couldn't let go of teasing the big monkey in her hand, and Zhao Yingjun next to her also couldn't let go of admiring the carnation.

This is the perfect version of "The Gift of the Magi".

Both of them got what the other wanted most.

Zhao Yingjun suddenly became a little curious...

Yan Qiaoqiao is clearly in a state of amnesia and can't remember any memories related to her parents, but... why does she still miss her mother every day?
How can I think of a mother who doesn't exist and whom I don't remember?

"Qiaoqiao."

She turned her head and asked:
"Didn't you say you don't remember who your mother is? And you don't remember any memories of being with her."

"In that case...how do you think about your mother? Or have you recovered some of your memories?"

Yan Qiaoqiao shook her head:

“[I have no memory of my mother, but I can’t forget the feeling of missing her.]”

memory.

emotion.

Zhao Yingjun thought of two issues that have attracted widespread attention in society during this period.

With the launch of the third volunteer experiment in the hibernation chamber, which is also the final batch of experiments, humans are getting closer and closer to the hibernation era.

Experts predict that around 2025, mass-produced hibernation capsules will be put on the market for general public use.

By then, there will definitely be many problems.

Sociological issues,

Ethical issues,

Population issues,

Moral and legal issues.

But this is not something to be afraid of, because the development of human society is itself a process of discovering problems and then solving them.

These things are rules that those in power need to consider and have little to do with individuals.

Regarding personal attitude towards hibernation...what everyone cares about and worries about the most is the side effect [amnesia] and the accompanying [emotional loss].

How can we ensure that the memories gained after waking up from hibernation are real?
There is still no convincing answer.

At the same time, the same goes for emotions.

A couple who were madly in love before hibernation, after waking up from hibernation and losing their memories, will they still be madly in love?
This is really hard to guarantee.

Most of the love stories are often unexpected and exciting moments. Some things may only happen once in your life.

Could it be that after hibernation...the same history and past can be repeated again?

Can the couple who once supported each other continue to support each other in the new era after a long hibernation?

Many people don't have confidence in this.

The same goes for Zhao Yingjun.

She was a pessimist about the hibernation project and had never considered hibernating in a hibernation cabin.

For her, memories and emotions are second only to life, and she doesn't want to lose these evidences that support her to be Zhao Yingjun and not anyone else.

but.

What Yan Qiaoqiao said just now gave her a glimmer of hope that humans could smoothly survive the hibernation period.

indeed.

Maybe some things and some memories will be completely forgotten.

But emotion.

This thing, which is even more elusive to scientists than memory...may be stored in another form, somewhere deeper than memory.

……

……

I opened the curtains and the morning sun poured into the bedroom, filling it with light.

Lin Xian stayed up all night.

I finally finished copying all the information about "Theoretical Principles of Time and Space Travel and the Concept of Building a Time and Space Shuttle"!
It took a lot less time than expected.

After all, Academician Gao Wen’s notes only contained the theoretical principles of time-space travel. As for the subsequent construction of the time-space shuttle... they were almost all conjectures and predictions, without any engineering drawings or actual content.

This is not Academician Gao Wen’s fault.

Because he never knew that [space-time particles] exist in the world.

Precisely because Gawain did not know the existence of this magical particle, his research was completely stuck at this step. He could not move forward, nor could he further complete the structure of the space-time shuttle based on the characteristics of the space-time particle.

However, this is enough.

"Thank you, Academician Gao Wen."

Lin Xian faced the shining sun, clasped his hands together and said in gratitude:
"Thank you for your selfless contribution to the world. I gratefully accept the exclusive authorization of this manuscript."

"Um... I look forward to your next research result. It will surely change the world again."

The cockroach that cannot be killed;
Gawain is invincible.

He will only stand on the shoulders of giants;
The more you fight, the braver you become!

Subsequently.

Lin Xian bound this precious manuscript and hid it in the closet.

Now is not the time for it to come into play.

At least he would have to wait until the fifth dream was explored and turned into the sixth dream before Lin Xian planned to give it to Liu Feng for research.

think carefully……

There are so many things to do while waiting for the sixth dream to come.

First, it was to verify the space-time curvature and space-time coordinates again, so that he could answer the first question of the genius club exam correctly;

Secondly, after the time and space changes occurred again, he had to try to revive the artificial intelligence VV within a safe range to see if he could successfully find this old friend.

Finally, it is to start building up his own power and time-space shuttle, so that Rhine Company can embark on a higher and farther road and become his own solid backing and invincible killer.

"Finally, we can head towards Queen Town."

Lin Xian yawned.

After staying up all night, I am really sleepy and tired, so it helps to fall asleep quickly in a while.

Open the almost empty refrigerator.

Lin Xian made a simple breakfast to fill his stomach.

Then lie down on the bed.

Close your eyes.

Go to sleep.

……

……

……

"what?"

At the dinner table, Big Face Cat was tearing pork elbow and looking at Lin Xian in shock:

"Brother, you said you wanted to sneak into Queen Town? You want to kill yourself, right?"

He put the two elbow halves, half on Lin Xian's plate and half on CC's plate, then sighed and said:

"Don't be silly, Queen Town is different from Face Village. It's not that easy to talk to."

"The people there are very xenophobic, proud and arrogant. If you are discovered while infiltrating, they will shoot you to death with their rifles without saying a word."

"Look at your skinny arms and legs, don't even think about anything else. Just live peacefully in Lian Village. I'll arrange for someone to build you a house later. You can have a few more kids and live a peaceful life here."

Lin Xian looked at the elbow that was torn in half and was still steaming in front of him without saying a word.

After entering the dream today, he first found CC and then found Uncle Wei Shengjin. He explained the situation in Lian Village and the rumor that there were more than a dozen hafnium alloy safes in Queen Town.

The three of them agreed that they must go to Queenstown to try their luck.

So a new plan was formulated -

Lin Xian and CC are still pretending to be a couple, sneaking into Lian Village to obtain more information and gain more support.

As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers. If Big Face Cat is willing to help them sneak in, it will be like adding wings to a tiger and greatly increase their success rate.

Don’t say anything else.

Even if it is still the same as the second dream, can you help me build a personal ladder?
With a ladder, Lin Xian and CC's agility is enough to climb over the high wall of Queen Town and directly solve the core problem.

Therefore, the difficulty now lies in... how to convince the four Big-Faced Cats to join this crazy plan.

Lin Xian and CC looked at each other, neither moving an elbow, and prepared to start the next round of persuasion.

"It's this face, bro."

Lin Xian raised his glass and said slowly:
"I think your father's concerns are correct. The people of Queen Town will never be satisfied with the status quo. They are only here to collect protection money now, but it won't be long before they open more safes and obtain more powerful weapons and strength...they will definitely take the initiative to break this balance."

"After all, as you said, the people in Queenstown look down on you. You are of no value. You are just some cheap, or even free, labor."

"The reason why we can still get along so peacefully now is that although the surrounding villages are not developed enough, if everyone unites, the population is still enough to crush Queen Town. If it really causes public outrage, Queen Town will not end up well."

"But what if the hafnium alloy safe contains extremely powerful technology and weapons? In that case, even if the people of all the surrounding villages unite, they will not be able to pose a threat to the strength of Queen Town. In this case, the evil claws of Queen Town will be exposed... They will unscrupulously annex you, enslave you, destroy your village, and make you completely their slaves."

……

What Lin Xian is describing is not the development history experienced by ancient humans?
After listening to Lin Xian's words.

There was silence at the dinner table.

Big Face Cat, A Zhuang and San Pang didn't say anything.

They all seemed to understand what Lin Xian meant, but they were still full of hesitation in their hearts.

Naturally, the military general Erzhuzi wouldn't think so much.

boom!
He pounded his fist on the table and shouted:
"it is good!"

I couldn't help but give Lin Xian a thumbs up:

"Lin Xian! I was right about you! You are such a courageous person! I fully support your ideas! I also fully support your plan!"

Lin Xian was slightly surprised.

I can't believe it...

Erzhuzi has always been against me.

At this moment.

He stood up so firmly to support himself!

moment.

A warm feeling welled up in his heart, and Lin Xian looked at Erzhuzi with emotion:
"Will you help me?"

"Of course I do!"

Erzhuzi was indignant, stood up, and waved his hand:
"Lin Xian, just go without worry! Go bravely! Don't worry about your sister-in-law, I will take care of her for you!"

"what?"

Lin Xian was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect this to happen:
"You're not going with me! Then why are you standing up and yelling?"

Erzhuzi snorted and laughed:
"I'm only talking about the worst-case scenario, but I still hope to come back with a complete victory."

"Don't worry, I will give you my good luck!"

Say it.

He took off the green fabric sun hat on his head and put it on Lin Xian's head:
"This hat is the prize I won in the dance competition last year. It's full of good luck! Wear it when you go to Queen's Village. I promise you can come back safe and sound!"

"Haha, you should keep it for yourself."

Lin Xian interrupted Erzhuzi and quickly put his hat back on.

"Alright, alright."

The big-faced cat waved his thick arms:
"Stop arguing."

He raised his head and looked around:
"Let me say a few words!"
