Genius Club.

Chapter 488 The Mystery of Immortality

"If the pile was driven in 1952, then this millennium pile should have been born in 1932."

Liu Feng calculated:
"However, there is no need to think about this now, because there is no time and space rift in 1932. It is a place we can never go to, and there is no point in thinking about it any more."

"Relatively speaking... 1952, this crucial time point, is our only chance to uncover the truth about the Millennium Pile and rescue Chu Anqing!"

"But……"

Liu Feng changed the subject and lowered his voice:

"It's the same old story. If we want to use a time machine and entangled space-time particles to return to 1952, we have to wait until 2234, when the comet carrying astatine 339 arrives on Earth."

"This means that we must take the hibernation capsule. Only by hibernating until 2234 and using the time shuttle can we find hope of rescuing Chu Anqing."

Lin Xian nodded:
"Not only that……"

He frowned slightly.

Since Einstein lied about the millennium incident, what about what he said before?

Once you find one lie among 100 sentences, you can no longer tell how many lies there are in the 100 sentences, and even more so...

These 100 sentences may all be lies.

"You continue to study further here."

Lin Xian stood up and prepared to leave the laboratory:
"I'll go home and talk to Zhao Yingjun about this."

Liu Feng stood up to see the guest off:

"By the way, your daughter is about to be born, right?"

"There is still more than half a month left. The exact date of delivery will be confirmed during the last prenatal checkup in the next two days."

"That's great."

Liu Feng smiled sincerely:
"How does it feel to be a father? Are you looking forward to it?"

"That's for sure."

Lin Xian smiled:
"That's why I want to save Chu Anqing and give Chu Shanhe an explanation. And... for Yu Xi, I will also try my best to make this world a better place."

Say it.

He walked out of the Tunghai University Rhine Joint Laboratory, went downstairs, got on a special car, and returned to Zhao Yingjun's home.

……

back home.

open the door.

The ball VV was found rolling on the ground.

I don’t know when it started, but VV no longer shouts at the elevator.

Precisely.

It's too lazy to bark anymore.

I eat so much every day, I feel so satisfied, and my life is like a god.

"Born in sorrow, died in happiness."

Lin Xian commented.

"belch--"

The Pomeranian VV burped, gave Lin Xian a look, smacked its lips, and went to the bedroom on its belly to sleep.

Lin Xian also followed VV into the bedroom.

Tell Zhao Yingjun the facts just verified in the laboratory.

"It seems that it is just as we thought."

Zhao Yingjun frowned slightly:
"The question is back to the beginning. Was Einstein lying on purpose, or was he innocent? It was just that his 'brain' and 'vision' were hijacked by something, causing him to see a false vision of the future?"

lie.

or
What you see is false.

Lin Xian gave the answer he had been pondering for a long time:
“[I think Einstein didn’t lie, but he was also deceived and saw a false future.]”

"Because you see, if Einstein was going to lie and deliberately deceive us, there are a lot of things he could have done that were much better."

"For example, in my last question about what happened in 1952, why did he deliberately answer that the Millennium Pile had not dissipated to make me suspicious? He could have just given me a random reason, or even told me that the Millennium Pile could not be saved, so that I would give up... I think I would have believed him."

"For example, when I asked about my death date, if Einstein really thought I was a dangerous person who would hinder his plan to destroy the world, wouldn't he have just told me a false answer and let me lie at home and be beheaded by No. 17?"

"I never thought that I was the smartest member of the genius club. I can even say that I was the least intelligent and least qualified one among them... But for decades, no one has found any evidence that Einstein lied. Is it because they are not smart enough?"

Zhao Yingjun also nodded:
"I agree with you. If Einstein wanted to conceal what happened in 1952, there would be a hundred smarter ways... There is no need to put the flaws in front of you and make you doubt."

"From an omniscient perspective, wouldn't it be extremely easy for me to make up a reason to fool you?"

"There are also questions from other geniuses, and he often preferred to refuse to answer or even affirm the answer, rather than fabricating lies to deceive them. From this point of view, Einstein's original intention should be kind and fair."

"Yes."

Lin Xian pulled a chair and sat down opposite Zhao Yingjun:

"From my observation of Einstein, I found that he really had no tendency. He gave the geniuses the greatest freedom and understanding, and did not interfere or guide any direction, allowing everyone to play their own role."

"He has only one goal - to free mankind from a future of self-destruction and usher in a truly beautiful and happy world. Therefore, his original intention of establishing the Genius Club was to gather ideas, recruit talents, and find this most precious and hard-won world line."

"Once we find it, we will immediately stop the gatherings of the Genius Club to maintain the stability of this world line. And what a coincidence, even I, who is the biggest variable in disrupting the world line, have now lost the ability to break through the elasticity of time and space."

"If the future Einstein saw is real, then of course there is no problem. I will applaud and cooperate with him to stabilize the world line and never do anything to disrupt time and space again."

"But the problem is... the future that Einstein saw was false, which means--"

"【If we don't do something, humanity will surely face extinction in 600 years; and we have no way to fulfill our promise to Chu Shanhe and save Chu Anqing.】"

Zhao Yingjun pondered for a while.

Stand up.

She walked slowly to the desk with her belly bulging, turned on the desk lamp, picked up a pen, and thought:
"Through Liu Feng's experiments, the situation has become somewhat clearer. At present, there are two things we need to solve."

She picked up a pen.

Write down on a piece of white paper:

1. Find out the secrets of Einstein and the real purpose of the mastermind behind the scenes to save the tragic future of human extinction 600 years later.

2. Find out the truth about the Millennium Pile and the way to save it, and bring Chu Anqing back to this world.

Click.

Zhao Yingjun closed the pen cap:
"Fortunately, compared to your previous chaotic thoughts, there are only two problems left for us to deal with."

"Actually, there is one more thing. I don't know if it's important or not. That is... the president of the Genius Club, the old man wearing the Einstein mask, his true identity... do you think it's a very important thing?"

Lin Xian rubbed his chin and shook his head:

"I feel that unless I can find him, it doesn't really matter who he is. After all, no matter who he is, what he does is certain."

"But if I can find him, then this matter is very important. I can stop him in real life and have a good chat with him face to face. Maybe many problems can be solved or misunderstandings can be sorted out."

"But the problem is, let alone finding him, we can't even find Newton, Gauss, Galileo, etc. How can Jask and I find Einstein?"

"If the super artificial intelligence VV is resurrected, it may still be possible, but... it will also need to hibernate until 2482 and find the genius programmer Cheng Qian. So you see, this is another road that is stuck."

Zhao Yingjun turned around and looked at Lin Xian:

"You and Jask suspected before that the old man wearing the Einstein mask is actually Einstein, who has never died and will never age."

"hehe."

Lin Xian chuckled:
"To be precise, I am the only one who has this doubt. Jask totally disagrees with my point of view. He said that it is ridiculous for a person to be immortal. If Einstein were still alive, he would be more than 140 years old now. He does not believe that a person can live to this age and still think clearly and speak fluently."

"I don't know how to explain this question. I can't just say that there are so many strange things happening in this world, so why is it strange that someone won't age? That would be ridiculous."

"No, no."

Zhao Yingjun shook his fingers and looked at Lin Xian seriously:

"Lin Xian, think about it again--"

“[Some people really don’t grow old.]”

In a word.

Lin Xian suddenly had an epiphany:

"You mean... Yellowbird?"

Zhao Yingjun pursed her lips and nodded:

"Didn't we just discuss this last month? If Huang Que wants to get your attention to the Genius Club in advance, she must find you before the first world line jump. Therefore, the only time point she can choose to travel through is the year 2000, when the millennium pile Zhang Yuqian turned into blue stardust and disappeared."

"And when she meets you officially for the first time, it will be 2023, 23 years have passed. See... Isn't this the problem and the key point?"

"You, Liu Feng, Gao Yang, and Chu Anqing have all seen Huang Que. You all think she is not that old, probably in her early thirties."

"Then let's deduce the age of Huang Que when she traveled through time and space in the time machine... First of all, she must have married you, had a child, and hibernated until 2234, right? It's impossible for Huang Que to have married you and had a child when she was eleven or twelve years old, right?"

"That's obviously impossible. So, we can definitely infer that after a series of life events, when Huang Que finally decided to travel back in time to find you... her age should be in her early thirties!"

Lin Xian also agrees:

"This speculation is very reasonable. So, when Huang Que came to our time and space in 2000, she was already in her thirties; but when I met her in 2023, she still looked to be in her thirties."

"This is irrefutable proof... the yellow bird really does not grow old!"

Then.

what is the reason?

It must be related to things like blue eyes and time travel.

Lin Xian closed his eyes.

Start brainstorming.

It shouldn’t be just that.

After all, Time Killer No. 17 also had blue eyes and traveled through time, but she became older.

In the sixth dream, Time and Space Killer No. 17 was only seventeen or eighteen years old and still very fresh; but in the seventh dream, because she was dug out ten years earlier, when Lin Xian saw her as the village chief, she was already nearly thirty years old and obviously mature.

Why is it that although both are time travelers, Killer No. 17 grows old while Yellow Bird does not?
reason……

It can only be...

【On the space-time particles.】

The most essential difference between Yellow Bird and Killer No. 17 is that they use different time-space particles when traveling. Yellow Bird uses ordinary time-space particles, a one-way ticket.

Killer No. 17 uses entangled space-time particles and a round-trip ticket.

and so……

"I figured it out."

Lin Xian opened his eyes:

"By comparing the fact that the yellow bird does not age, and the fact that Killer No. 17 can age, the only explanation that makes sense is—"

"【Travelers who use ordinary space-time particles to travel through time and space will indeed not age.】"

Zhao Yingjun smiled slightly:
"Look, this way, our reasoning has taken another step forward. Now let's go back to the topic just now, the true identity of the president of the Genius Club..."

"Although we are not sure what happened to this president, there is indeed a phenomenon in this world that does not age. Existence is reasonable."

"And considering that the president has the strange ability to see through time and space... Is it possible that his true identity is, as you think, the famous physicist in history, Albert Einstein?"

"This conjecture is indeed outrageous, but at least it is definitely not as impossible as Jask said. Maybe this is one of the characteristics of ordinary space-time particles."

Space-time particles...

Space-time particles...

Lin Xian seemed to have found a key clue.

He stood up.

Pace quickly in the bedroom -

"Wang!"

Unexpectedly, the moment he stood up, he kicked the Pomeranian VV beside the bed away. The dog rolled on the ground like a football and stopped only after hitting the door frame.

"Woof woof woof woof!"

It’s tolerable, it’s unbearable!

VV went berserk.

Stinky man, didn't he just gain a little weight during this period, turning from a dandelion into a ball? Why did his attitude change so much!
Where is the gentle Lin Xian who stroked the dog's head and whispered to be obedient?

however……

Lin Xian was in the middle of a brainstorming session and had no time to deal with VV.

His thoughts turned into a hand that spanned time and space, trying to grasp a key point, a breakthrough point:

"Liu Feng has studied that if space-time particles want to come to this space-time from other space-times, they must pass through the [space-time rift]."

"And through the positioning module of the space-time shuttle, we can find that the earliest space-time rift appeared in 1952... Before that, there were no space-time rifts at all."

"This means that if a space-time particle wants to arrive in this space-time, the earliest time it can reach is no later than 1952."

"Connecting this to our analysis, if the president of the Genius Club is really the historical Einstein, and he hasn't aged after all these years... then from the perspective of space-time particles and space-time cracks, this can indeed be explained."

Hey.

Lin Xian stopped, looked at Zhao Yingjun, and said softly:

"If, in 1952, this is what happened—"

"For some reason, in the second half of 1952, a space-time crack suddenly appeared, and at the same time... an ordinary space-time particle floated in from the crack."

"This was the first visiting space-time particle in history. I don't know what happened afterwards, but Einstein got this space-time particle... or maybe it was due to some other circumstances. Anyway, some changes occurred in Einstein, and he became a space-time traveler like the yellow bird."

"Furthermore, Einstein's eyes turned blue, and he had the same trait as the yellow bird, which is that he will never age. That's why he was able to establish the Genius Club and live in good health until now, and even... live forever."

Suddenly.

Lin Xian suddenly recalled Article 3 of the Genius Club Charter:
Please pay attention to personal privacy and avoid revealing your identity. According to the club tradition, you need to wear a mask when attending the party.

is it possible……

This charter is not entirely intended to protect the personal privacy of members.

But...

[To hide Einstein's blue pupils? ]

……

After listening to Lin Xian's analysis, Zhao Yingjun turned around and uncapped the pen:
"From this perspective, the year 1952 is extremely important."

"Since the first space-time rift and the first space-time particle arrived on Earth at this point in time, there is no doubt that... here, in 1952, is really the beginning of everything and the truth of all mysteries."

"Zhang Yuqian's dream about 1952 and Einstein was definitely not aimless, because the painting "Sad Einstein" was also painted in 1952."

"Look, do you remember the sentence-making game we played before? Through space-time particles and space-time cracks... 1952, Einstein, Genius Club, Millennium Pile, World-Destroying White Light, False Future, Blue Eyes... this series of keywords are all connected!"

The brushstrokes stopped.

Zhao Yingjun looked at the third item he had just written down that needed to be resolved:

3. All beginnings and mysteries originated from the first space-time crack and the first space-time particle in 1952.

She picked up the white paper.

He stood up, walked over, and handed it to Lin Xian:

"You see, the three things written here, the final answers and solutions, all point to the time point of 1952 that runs through the whole thing."

"So, Lin Xian."

Zhao Yingjun raised his head and looked into Lin Xian's eyes:
"Whether it's to save the future world or to save Chu Anqing and fulfill our promise, this time travel to 1952..."

"It seems that I have to go."

……

Lin Xian was silent.

After all, I had no choice but to take this step.

In fact, Lin Xian was not very opposed to Zhao Yingjun's "Hibernation to the Future" plan; after all, they would enter the hibernation cabin and take a long-distance journey in terms of time scale only after Xiao Yuxi turned 18.

By then the child will be an adult and can make decisions for her own life.

If you want to go to the future with your parents, then hibernate as a family; if you can’t bear to leave your current life and want to stay, that’s okay. There will always be a moment to let go when your children grow up. Lin Xian and Zhao Yingjun respect Yu Xi’s choice.

But the problem is...

Where are Chu Shanhe and Su Xiuying?

What should they do? Are they going to wait like this and never see their missing daughter?
That's so painful.

Moreover, if Chu Shanhe cannot see Chu Anqing alive, Lin Xian’s promise will not be fulfilled at all!
But therein lies the contradiction.

Today, research on the Millennium Piles has fallen into a quagmire and a dead end. All the truth and breakthroughs are hidden in 1952.

Without traveling back in time, witnessing it with one's own eyes, and understanding the situation... there is no way to rescue Chu Anqing.

This is also the reason why Lin Xian has not been able to meet Chu Shanhe for so long.

I promised it well at the beginning.

But since then, the plan to save Chu Anqing has made no progress. How can he have the face to go?
suddenly.

Zhao Yingjun's warm hand came over and took Lin Xian's hand:
"I know what you're thinking."

She is considerate and empathetic:

"You must be thinking about Chu Shanhe, right?"

Lin Xian smiled helplessly:

"You really can't hide anything from me. I was thinking, if Chu Shanhe and Su Xiuying are gone when I rescue Chu Anqing, what's the point?"

"Do not worry."

Zhao Yingjun held Lin Xian's hand tightly and blinked:

"You have never looked for Chu Shanhe. I understand your guilt and I also know that there are many things that you find difficult to talk about."

"So... I went to see him for you and briefly told him some things. Although I didn't tell him any core information, I did tell him that you have been working hard."

"Chu Shanhe understands you very well and believes that you will do what you say. Besides, I have also mentioned the matter of hibernating to the future to Chu Shanhe."

"He told me that if we can completely overcome the side effects of hibernation amnesia and prevent him from losing his memory of his daughter, he is willing to join our hibernation plan and even hibernate in advance... just to wait for the day when Chu Anqing comes back and wake up."

Lin Xian didn't say anything.

Zhao Yingjun...

It really helped me deal with a lot of things in many areas where I didn't do well enough.

This is no longer the level of a good wife.

It is precisely because of the intelligent and solid support of Zhao Yingjun that Lin Xian can move forward fearlessly and with all his heart.

"Tomorrow, let's go find Chu Shanhe together."

Lin Xian said:

"I was too embarrassed to look for him before because there was no progress on the Millennium Pile."

"But now it's different. We have found clues, very crucial clues."

"The oath I made in front of Chu Shanhe is my lifelong commitment. Even if it costs me everything... I will do what I say, save Chu Anqing, and reunite their family."

Zhao Yingjun smiled:

"No problem. I'll go with you. This is something we have to face together and a commitment we have to fulfill together."

"I believe you can do it. Chu Shanhe also believes in you deeply, so he has never put any pressure on you."

Ding-a-ling-ding-ling-ding-ling-ding-ling--

At this time.

Lin Xian's cell phone suddenly rang.

I picked it up and saw the caller ID was Du Yao.

Could it be...

He quickly picked up the phone.

On the other side, Du Yao was very excited:
"Lin Xian! We succeeded!"

"【Cranial nerve electric shock helmet】... the invention is successful!"
