Genius Club.

Chapter 460 A brief taste
With the huge gap in armaments and the disparity in strength, Lin Xian's mercenary corps was like a father beating his son, beating the local indigenous armed forces back step by step and forcing them to flee desperately.

Night falls and the moon rises.

The mercenaries lit fires for the old, young, and wounded left in the village, and provided drinking water and food for everyone to eat.

The professional medical team examined the villagers and provided simple treatment, and are preparing to transport these refugees to a safe area by transport vehicles tomorrow.

Lin Xian and Du Yao sat on the stone pier at the entrance of the village, holding steaming self-heating food in their hands.

"I learned about Tang Xin's death half a month after the incident."

Du Yao said while eating:
"The situation in South Sudan is very chaotic. While we are doing peacekeeping, we also have to provide assistance to the wounded and refugees. We are often busy for many days and have no time to sleep, so our contact with Tang Xin is intermittent."

"It was only after I contacted Tang Xin's brother that I learned about her murder. But by that time... Tang Xin's funeral had been over for many days."

"I was very sad at the time, but in a place like this, you don't even have time to be sad. We were brushed against bullets and shells every day, and countless civilians and children died every day."

"When I had some free time to think about this... I found that I had witnessed so many deaths and separations here that I couldn't even shed tears."

Du Yao put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hand and shook her head:
"Peacekeeping and rescue operations are like this. They are a race against life and we are trying to save lives from the hands of death. It is not a game where you can come and go as you please."

"Especially not long after that, my boyfriend was also killed in a conflict battle, which made me sad and numb."

"Condolences."

Lin Xian said softly.

After listening to Du Yao's explanation, Lin Xian also had a general understanding of her situation.

She and Tang Xin graduated from the same university and entered the same graduate school after graduation, but something must have happened later that made her follow her boyfriend to Africa to participate in peacekeeping and aid.

Lin Xian couldn't quite understand this spirit.

But he respects everyone who makes selfless contributions.

"I admire your actions and spirit."

He continued:
"But... you've done your best and made sacrifices. Can you return home now? Your boyfriend has passed away. What's the point of you staying here alone?"

Du Yao raised her head.

Glancing at the war orphans gorging themselves by the fire ahead:
“Isn’t that the point?”

She smiled:

"At first, I didn't understand why my boyfriend chose to come here as a volunteer. I had countless arguments with him."

"I say, there are so many remote mountainous areas in Longguo, and so many hungry children. If you really want to show your love, why don't you go to the mountains of Longguo to teach? Why don't you go to help the rural areas in the mountains develop? Why do you have to come to a place like this where war is raging?"

"My boyfriend is very stubborn. He said..."

“If no one comes to war-torn areas to volunteer, what will happen to the children in war-torn areas?”

"There are indeed children in the mountains of Dragon Country who need help, but at least there is no war in the mountains, and there is no risk of being burned to charcoal the next moment while eating one second."

"He also said that when our country was in war and poverty, many foreign volunteers came to our country to support us selflessly, and some even died on our land... This kind of dedication is mutual."

Du Yao pulled off the rubber band on her braid and shook her hair:
"I thought he was stupid and unreasonable at the time, but when I really came here, I found out... this is hell. It is a hell that people who live a peaceful life cannot imagine."

"It's true that I came here for him, but I'm needed here, and more people are needed to help. In the past year or so, we have lost many comrades, and many people couldn't hold on and left."

"But I can't leave, and I don't want to leave..."

She closed her eyes:
"My boyfriend died on this land. He didn't desert, and I don't want to be a deserter either. I just want to save one more person, save one more life, and continue the work he didn't finish."

"To be honest, I was also spoiled since I was a child, but now I never feel that life here is hard. When your life is threatened all the time and you are facing death all the time, you will really find that there is actually no hardship. Being alive is lucky."

Lin Xian listened to Du Yao's story silently.

Nodded:

"You love him very much."

"Of course I love him."

Du Yao smiled:
"But now it's not just love anymore. He has become a part of my life and a beacon of my spirit."

Say it.

She stood up and walked towards the mercenary who was smoking next to her:
"Can I have one?"

She put the cigarette in her mouth, lit it with a lighter, and sat back next to Lin Xian.

Take a deep breath.

Exhaling a cloud of white smoke:
"He is a very serious person and takes everything very seriously."

Du Yao's voice was very light:

"So, he really hates those frivolous, exaggeratedly dressed, and uncouth girls."

"I used to dress up like a hipster in order to piss him off. I dyed my hair, put on earrings, and put on heavy makeup... I sent him photos every day. To put it bluntly, I just wanted him to come back, quarrel with me, scold me, and teach me a lesson."

"I also learned to smoke. What he hated most was girls smoking. But even so... he still didn't come back. Maybe in his eyes, ideals and beliefs are far more important than a little girl or love."

Du Yao took another puff of his cigarette.

The sparks from the cigarette butts were particularly conspicuous in the dark breeze:

"Actually, I don't like smoking either. After I came to see him, I never smoked again. But after he passed away... I always smoke a cigarette when I miss him."

"Smoking does relieve sadness," said Lin Xian.

"Do not."

Du Yao shook her head and let out a breath:

"I just fantasized..."

“[He would suddenly appear, snatch the cigarette butt and throw it on the ground, cursing and scolding me.]”

Speaking of which.

Du Yao pursed her lips and lowered her head:
"It's just self-deception and self-consolation."

"He won't come anymore. No one will control me smoking anymore, and no one will nag at me seriously anymore."

……

this moment.

In a trance.

Lin Xian thought of Liu Feng.

At the beginning, after Liu Feng buried Li Qiqi's coffin with his own hands, he was also like Du Yao, smoking and talking, talking, talking non-stop.

Sad people always want to keep talking.

Either I keep talking, or I keep eating like crazy, as if I had blocked my mouth, leaving no place for the sadness to vent, so that I could just digest it and turn it into nutrients without fermenting any more.

But the situations of Du Yao and Liu Feng are somewhat different.

Liu Feng was indeed sad for a while, but he knew that closing his eyes in the light of the meteor shower was the best ending for Li Qiqi, who was suffering from a terminal illness.

Although life is short, realizing dreams and making wishes can be considered a kind of perfection in life.

And Du Yao...

Her boyfriend died in the war, her wishes were unfulfilled, her dreams were not realized, and all she saw was regret.

"Feel sorry."

Du Yao exhaled another puff of smoke and looked at Lin Xian:

"I'm sorry for treating you like an emotional trash can."

"Actually, I'm not usually so pretentious. It's just that when I saw you, I thought of Tang Xin, my boyfriend, and many things in the past, so I became a little talkative."

"But it's good to say it out loud. If I die on this battlefield someday, at least... someone will remember what I said."

Lin Xian sat up from the stone pier.

Came to the opposite side of Du Yao.

Leaning on the thin wooden stake behind him:

"The reason I came to see you this time is to bring you back to Dragon Country and resume my research in the field of brain science."

Du Yao took a puff of cigarette and shook her head:

"If I leave, what will happen to the children here?"

"My mercenaries will take them to a safe place." Lin Xian replied.

Du Yao smiled:
"Lin Xian, you are indeed a good person, but I can no longer leave here with a clear conscience."

"Just think of me as a stubborn and hopeless person... I came here and saw hell on earth, and my boyfriend died here... I really can't leave it all behind and go back to live a peaceful life."

She took a last puff of her cigarette.

Throw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomp it out.

He stood up again and went to ask the mercenaries for cigarettes.

The mercenary directly gave her a box and a lighter.

Du Yao sat back on the stone pier, holding a cigarette between her lips. She lit the lighter with a click and moved closer to the cigarette.

suddenly.

There was a sense of emptiness between my lips.

Du Yao raised her head in confusion.

He discovered that the cigarette on his lips had been pinched away by Lin Xian and was now between the thumb and index finger of his right hand.

Shua. Lin Xian threw the white cigarette behind him and looked at Du Yao:

"One is enough."

He looked into Du Yao's eyes:
"If you want to save people, I won't stop you, but I want to ask you a number. How many people do you want to save?"

"One, ten, a hundred, a thousand, or..."

"【100 billion.】"

Du Yao opened her eyes wide and looked at Lin Xian in confusion, not knowing what he wanted to express.

"Do you know how many people Tang Xin's research has saved?"

Lin Xian continued:

"The drug that Tang Xin researched solved the most fatal side effect of hibernation. It can be said to be as great an invention as Professor Xu Yun's. As a result, many terminally ill and dying patients were able to sleep in hibernation chambers and travel to the future for treatment."

"There are many elderly people here, and there are also many children. I personally sent a little girl with congenital heart disease and a girl who had been paralyzed for many years into the hibernation chamber. They should have only waited for death in this era, but because of the invention of Tang Xin and Professor Xu Yun, they can have a second life in the future."

"And your invention will save many more lives than Tang Xin's, because your invention is not saving humanity, but..."

Lin Xian said word by word:
“【To save the world and the future of mankind.】”

Du Yao chuckled.

Shake your head:
"I do not know what you're talking about."

"Have you ever gone to Johns Hopkins University to read my graduation thesis? Don't be fooled, that was just something I wrote randomly. I'm not really interested in brain science, and I've only scratched the surface of my research."

"My graduation thesis simply proposed some unrealistic ideas, and just like that, I managed to fool the professors in the college and graduate by chance. I guess... I didn't fool you, too, did I?"

Lin Xian heard familiar words.

Just taste it and stop.

This is simply the catchphrase of Emperor Gawain.

He said he had only dabbled in math, and somehow he figured out 0.0000042 and used it as the combination for his safe;
He said he only dabbled in time travel, but ended up building a time machine.

really.

Is the passive skill of geniuses Versailles?

For an instant.

Lin Xian thought of old jokes like "Peking University is okay" and "I have nothing".

may.

When the mathematics prince Gauss shocked the entire mathematics world, he was also thinking, "Wouldn't it be enough to have hands?"

Emperor Gawain once said in a handwritten letter.

The reason why there has been no breakthrough in the field of brain nerves after Du Yao is not because of the lack of hard work, experience or accumulation, but precisely because of that invaluable thing - a flash of inspiration!
When it comes to scientific breakthroughs, hard work is important, but flashes of inspiration and luck are obviously more important.

Sometimes, it’s just a question of direction.

If the direction is right, you will get twice the result with half the effort; if the direction is wrong, you will get half the result with twice the effort.

"What I told you is not an exaggeration."

Lin Xian looked serious:

"Perhaps even you yourself do not realize how important your research results are, but I can tell you responsibly..."

"Professor Xu Yun ignited the flame of hibernation technology, Tang Xin brought hibernation into thousands of households, and you will fill in the last piece of the hibernation technology puzzle, amnesia."

Du Yao tilted her head:
"Impossible. The side effect of hibernation amnesia has been proven to be absolutely insurmountable. This is the limitation of human memory patterns and brain structure. Hibernation will inevitably lead to amnesia, which is absolutely insurmountable."

"Yes."

Lin Xian took out a bundle of bound documents from the handbag beside him:
"There is indeed no way to overcome hibernation amnesia, but... who says that lost memories can't be restored again?"

After saying that, he handed the manuscript to Du Yao.

Du Yao finally saw——

"Overcoming the side effects of hibernation amnesia and reviving dormant memories - brain nerve electric shock helmet!"

She opened her eyes wide:
"Electric shock, cranial nerves?"

She recalled her "empty and false" graduation thesis.

If you add electric shock...

Is it really possible?
She took the manuscript and went under the searchlight set up by the mercenaries, and read it carefully.

Lin Xian didn't disturb her.

Just like that, let Du Yao study it slowly.

Since Emperor Gao Wen has said that Du Yao is a genius in the field of brain nerves that only appears once in a thousand years, there is no need for an outsider like me to explain so many things to her.

Du Yao should know better than anyone that if the side effects of hibernation amnesia can be completely overcome, it will definitely be a leap-forward change for human civilization!
Take the friends that Lin Xian met in his dream for example.

After Emperor Gawain wakes up from hibernation, if he can return to his full health before hibernation, he can definitely take off on the spot by stepping on his own shoulders;

The moment Zheng Xiangyue wakes up, she can learn about her past, remember her brother who loved her, and remember the Rhine cat doll that was so important to her;

Xu Yiyi would also remember the happy times she spent with her father during her childhood, so she would not be so lacking in love, nor would she say such lonely and cold words.

If the side effects of hibernation amnesia can really be completely solved.

That's for sure.

As more and more scientists and scholars are willing to enter hibernation chambers to support the future, human technology will surely take off in steps.

Maybe in this case...

The super disaster in 2400 will not happen.

Not only will the world become a better place in the future, but CC and I will also be able to find the safe as we wish. It will definitely be a happy ending for everyone.

at last.

It took Du Yao more than an hour to read all of Gao Wen's manuscripts.

She thought about it for a long time.

He stood up, walked to Lin Xian, and handed the manuscript back:

"I don't understand all the parts of your manuscript, but... it's amazing. If my wild ideas can be realized, then they can just make up for the missing parts of this manuscript."

"Can you tell me where this manuscript came from? I can only say that the person who can come up with the idea of ​​a cranial nerve electric shock helmet is truly a genius among geniuses."

Lin Xian smiled slightly.

You two, stop praising each other for business.

However, it seems that this manuscript is indeed the most convincing evidence.

"How long do you think it will take you to fill in the gaps?"

"A year or two?"

Du Yao shook her head:
"Maybe it will take a few months. After all, I didn't really think about it when I was writing my thesis. But... this manuscript has given me some inspiration and given me some new ideas."

Lin Xian nodded:
"Then...can we discuss something?"

"I respect your ambitions and ideals. If you insist on completing the work that your boyfriend has not accomplished in Africa, I will not stop you, nor will I force you to do anything."

“But it is no exaggeration to say that if the [brain nerve electric shock helmet] can be successfully developed, it will definitely be a super invention that can save the world, save the future, and save human civilization.”

"So... can you lend me a year? During this year, I will pay for all the expenses of the mercenary group and have them stationed here to assist in the peacekeeping operations. I believe that such a group of professionals can play a much greater role than you alone."

"A year later, if you are willing to return to Africa as a volunteer, I will fully support you. For example... I never intended to keep this brain nerve electric shock helmet for myself. I intend to make it public to the world, but it will definitely not be free."

"When you have the huge income from these patent licenses, whether you want to continue your peacekeeping assistance in Africa or use other methods to improve the lives of people in poor areas of the world, you will have more bargaining chips, more conditions, and be able to do more and more effectively."

……

Lin Xian spoke sincerely and pragmatically.

Du Yao is now at best a medic. He can only save a limited number of people and do a limited number of things.

If she were given a stable income from patent licensing every year...she would be better able to do these good deeds.

Du Yao thought for a while.

finally.

Nodded:

"Okay, Lin Xian, I believe you."

Lin Xian stretched out his right hand:

"It's a pleasure to work with you. To be honest, I have already prepared a research institute for you in Donghai. Everything is ready. It is the same research institute where Tang Xin worked in Donghai before."

"The research institute originally belonged to Ji Xinshui. After Ji Xinshui was executed, the research institute was auctioned off to an agency. I bought the laboratory back from the agency a few days ago."

Du Yao also stretched out his right hand and shook hands with Lin Xian:
"I hope I won't disappoint you. I can't guarantee that I can make the cranial nerve electric shock helmet, but... I will try my best."

Say it.

Du Yao smiled:
"I have to say that Tang Xin has a good eye for people. You are indeed a very good person. It's no wonder that Tang Xin likes you so much."

"I later heard from Tang Xin's brother that it was you who captured all the murderers in one fell swoop, clearing Tang Xin's name and avenging her. This is also the main reason why I am willing to leave here and return to China with you."

She raised her head and looked into Lin Xian's eyes:
"You didn't let Tang Xin down, and I believe... you won't let the world down either."
