Genius Club.

Chapter 490 July 4

Coming out of Chushanhe Manor.

Get in the car.

Lin Xian sighed lightly and exclaimed:

"Chu Shanhe is such a great man... He is great in every aspect."

"I remember when you took me to Chu Shanhe's dinner party. When I first met him, I didn't understand why everyone at the scene respected him so much. Even Professor Xu Yun, who was always aloof from the world, respected him so much..."

"Now, I really understand that he really deserves the praise and respect, and he deserves the praise that everyone says about him."

Zhao Yingjun turned and looked at him:
"You're not bad either, Lin Xian."

"In my opinion, you, like Chu Shanhe, are responsible, ambitious, and principled people. I was taught from a young age that every man has his share of responsibility for the fate of his country. Although you are very young, the responsibility you bear is much heavier than Chu Shanhe's."

"And... the most precious thing is that you are willing to sacrifice something of yourself to bear it and save it. This is the most remarkable quality."

"I'm sure that many other people in your position would not think about saving the world 600 years in the future, and would not sacrifice their lives to fulfill a promise with little hope."

"In this day and age, more people will put distant things aside and enjoy the present. They are not wrong, but I prefer you like this."

Listen.

Lin Xian lowered his head and smiled:
"[Because they don't have the ability to change anything.]"

He raised his head and looked at Zhao Yingjun:
"You said this before, that history will not blame those who are powerless. Since you have abilities that no one else has, you should do things that no one else can do."

"Otherwise...why am I the only one who has the ability to dream about the future? Perhaps this is the meaning of my life, the value of my life."

……

After returning home, Zhao Yingjun packed up, changed into casual clothes, and went out to take a special car to the hospital for the final prenatal check-up before delivery.

After Lin Xian fed VV half a bowl of dog food, he prepared to go to bed and enter the dream world.

"V!?"

Pomeranian VV opened his eyes wide and bit Lin Xian's trouser legs to prevent him from leaving:
"Woof woof woof! Woof woof woof woof!"

It also growled with its belly sticking out.

What's wrong with you, little brother?

At such a young age, your hands are shaking? Are you blurry?
There's only half a bowl of dog food. Can't you see?
"You really need to eat less."

Lin Xian squatted down, rubbed VV's belly which was almost transparent, and said earnestly:

"Are you competing with Yingjun to see who has a bigger belly? She wants to have a baby and you don't. If you keep eating like this, sooner or later you will suffocate to death in your sleep... You even had respiratory arrest a few days ago because of your snoring."

"Wang!"

VV yelled indignantly!
It's just a cute big ball. Drink while you can and enjoy the days to come. Why worry so much about tomorrow?
eat!
eat! !

Helplessly, after a lot of twists and turns, the negotiation ended with two-thirds of the negotiation ending in dog food.

Subsequently.

Lin Xian simply washed up.

Lying in bed, ready to fall asleep.

His plan today was to find Mai Mai in the underground hibernation base, and then use a cranial nerve electric shock helmet to treat her and restore her memory... so that she could recall what [real event] the failed novel "The Devouring Demon Emperor" was based on.

Two days ago, after obtaining Lin Xian's consent, Du Yao sent all the information about the cranial nerve electric shock helmet to Longke Institute.

According to the previously arranged process, all the apparent work and income will go into the Longke Institute’s account and have nothing to do with Rhine Company.

This is also for safety reasons.

Now, in addition to himself and Jask, there are three other geniuses alive in the world, whose purposes and future plans are unknown.

Newton.

Galileo.

Gaussian.

I don’t know who they are, where they are, or what they are planning.

Therefore, it is better to be cautious.

The same is true for the micro-nuclear battery that Nangong Mengjie is responsible for developing. On the surface, Longke Institute is in charge of it, and the profits and patents also all belong to Longke Institute. Rhine Company has kept itself clean of all matters.

After all, Longke Institute is an official institution, so they are much more cautious.

The dean said that this is a matter of national reputation and it must be made sure that there are no failures or unexpected situations before it can be announced to the public.

Micro nuclear batteries are easy to make and experiment with, and are expected to be available on the market in a few months.

such……

This does not match Einstein's original prediction.

This can be considered a weak butterfly effect in space and time. If it weren't for the questions raised by Galileo and Leonardo da Vinci that made Lin Xian alert... the micro nuclear battery would have been made public as early as January.

As for the announcement and release of the cranial nerve electric shock helmet, it will take a little longer.

The rigorous Long Science Institute said.

Clinical trials of cranial nerve shock helmets can only be carried out after the first batch of hibernators lose their memories in 2033. They can only be announced to the public after it is confirmed that there are no problems, no dangers and that they are effective.

Lin Xian and Du Yao had no objection to this.

As a scientific researcher, Du Yao naturally understands the importance of clinical trials;
As for Lin Xian...

He didn't care when the brain nerve electric shock helmet would be announced in the real world. As long as it existed in his dream and could allow him to electrocute the failed novelist Maimai, it would be enough.

"God Platinum, here I come."

Lin Xian closed his eyes and turned over.

Go to sleep.

……

……

……

The motorcycle sped across the wilderness, heading straight towards the Grand Canyon in the southwest.

Lin Xian is now familiar with the route.

After rock climbing, jumping, and climbing, I successfully reached the underground hibernation base and brushed the dirt off my hands.

I walked to Maimai’s hibernation cabin, and everything was still the same.

But when I opened the locker... I found obvious changes!
"The memory storage hard drive is missing."

Lin Xian opened the lockers of other people.

same.

nothing.

The memory storage hard drives that had been in everyone's lockers were all gone.

"This means that cranial nerve electric shock helmets have become popular."

Lin Xian analyzed:
"Since the electric shock helmet can easily restore a person's memory, then the "Memory Notebook" and "Memory Hard Drive" are completely meaningless."

"So... there must be a finished cranial nerve electric shock helmet somewhere in this underground hibernation base."

Anyway.

Even though this time the butterfly effect of space-time did not break through the elasticity of space-time and failed to trigger a world line jump, this tiny change in space-time still occurred.

He turned around and went into the ruins to search.

really.

It didn't take much effort to find the "octopus" with an extremely familiar shape.

Although in terms of size, it is much smaller than the Unit-01 that Du Yao showed him, its general shape has not changed much. It may have just undergone some miniaturization and portability improvements in line with technological development.

Lin Xian picked up the "Octopus" brain nerve electric shock helmet and went to an open area to observe:

"Very good. It has a built-in micro-nuclear battery. Just press a button and it will start like a fool."

After learning how to use it, Lin Xian put the helmet aside temporarily and started the awakening program of the hibernation chamber where Maimai was.

A light appears and the temperature of the filling fluid begins to rise slowly.

It will take another two hours before this failed novelist wakes up and can receive electric shock treatment.

Open the locker again.

Maimai's masterpiece "Devouring the Sky Demon Emperor" is still lying inside:

"This is really Maimai's obsession. It can be seen that she really wants to become a novelist."

"It's just... oh, she was born at the wrong time. If I gave Maimai a time machine and let her travel back to around 2000 to publish "The Heaven Devouring Demon Emperor", it would definitely shock the literary world."

Obsession.

Lin Xian thought of this keyword again.

CC has an obsession with watching fireworks in his mind; Chu Anqing also has scenes about fireworks in her nightmares.

fireworks.

This keyword...

How can it be connected with the key words that Zhang Yuqian had dreamed of before?

"I can only go to 1952 and take a look myself. I hope I can find some clues."

that's it.

Waited for two hours.

Maimai successfully woke up from the hibernation chamber, and Lin Xian approached with a cranial nerve electric shock helmet.

"Wait!"

Maimai was horrified when she saw this strange-looking octopus:

"This thing is too scary! It's like a tentacle!"

Lin Xian turned around and took a look.

Don't say it.

It's indeed like:
"These things are used to tie the electric shock helmet to your head to prevent you from moving around."

"Moving around?"

Maimai frowned and caught the blind spot:
"Does this thing... hurt?"

"How could it hurt?"

Lin Xian disagreed and said:

"It's just a slight itch. How can it hurt if I just restore my memory?"

He was afraid that Maimai would not cooperate, so he had to lie to her first.

"That's fine, that's fine."

Maimai patted her flat chest and breathed a sigh of relief:

"I'm not afraid of itching, but I'm more afraid of pain."

"Oh, it's not dead, come and sit over here."

After coaxing Maimai to sit on the chair, Lin Xian fastened and locked the brain nerve electric shock helmet tightly.

After confirming that he would not be thrown away, he patted Maimai's shoulder:

"Are you ready?"

"All right."

"OK, I'll start then."

Lin Xian took a deep breath...

At this moment, he was a little more nervous than the girl.

Then he tensed his muscles, ready to hold her pulse forcefully to prevent her from moving.

Du Yao told it herself.

It is said that this thing is very uncomfortable to use, but it must be persisted in for the memory recovery effect, so the restraint chair is very necessary.

Unfortunately, Lin Xian had just seen that the restraint chair in the middle of the room had been smashed by rocks and could not be used.

He placed his thumb on the red button on his helmet.

All in one go!
Press hard -

“It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!!!”

Along with the faint sound of electricity, the girl screamed like a pig being slaughtered:

"Let me go!!"

Lin Xian was strong and muscular, so he naturally held down Maimai tightly:

“Hold on a little longer, and all your memory will be restored in a moment!” “Nini, you, you, you said it wouldn’t hurt, it hurts!” Maimai’s whole body was trembling.

“Everyone’s body is different.”

Lin Xian shouted:

"It's almost done. I can see the progress bar here."

If you can see it, it must be a ghost.

Gao Wen's design style has some similarities with Liu Feng's, that is, they are wild and functional, so there is no useless thing like a progress bar on the helmet.

soon.

Even the trembling of her pulse became weak, and her screams became prolonged.

She rolled her eyes, and her mind flashed through familiar yet unfamiliar, yet emotionally powerful images like a revolving lantern.

[Submitted, rejected, laughed at, angry, tore up, read, enlightened, published, failed, laughed at...]

“Woooooaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

Maimai burst into tears immediately, and her aggrieved look was exactly the same as that of VV who was hungry.

beep.

A soft sound.

The red light on the cranial nerve electric shock helmet went out and turned green, and the faint sound of electric current also disappeared.

The treatment should be over.

Lin Xian quickly untied Maimai and took off the fastened helmet.

The girl's body softened.

puff.

He fell to his knees, wailing and crying:
"Wuwuwu... Wuwuwu... No one reads the book I wrote... Wuwuwu..."

Lin Xian quickly squatted down and helped her up:
"How's it going, Maimai, have you remembered?"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Mai Mai nodded while crying.

"It's a good thing that your memory has been restored! Why are you crying?" Lin Xian asked.

"Because...because..."

Maimai wiped her nose and blew out two more bubbles:
"Because I feel so bad! I thought of something very sad! No one appreciates the masterpiece I wrote... The editor wouldn't sign me!"

"oh oh."

Lin Xian understood:
“This is also very normal.”

"more than!"

Crying loudly:

"I beg for monthly tickets every day! But no one pays attention to me!"

"Forehead……"

Lin Xian was somewhat helpless:

"This is indeed a bit tragic."

"Alright, alright, stop crying. I can honestly say that 'The Heaven Devouring Demon Emperor' is the best novel of this era! You are the best novelist in the entire Donghai City!"

"Really?"

The girl blinked her eyes tenderly:

"Do not lie to me."

……

Finally, Maimai's emotions gradually stabilized.

By observing her reaction, Lin Xian also roughly understood the principles of the cranial nerve electric shock helmet and Du Yao's research breakthrough.

It was probably the same as the hint I gave to Du Yao, that extremely disgusting memory scene.

They all use extreme emotions and strong stimulation as a guide and center to connect the lost memories around them bit by bit.

To me at that time, the lollipop Gao Yang had sucked on was too disgusting and I will never forget it.

For Maimai, the most painful and saddest memories are the past when her novels failed, she was ridiculed, refused to sign contracts, and no one voted for her monthly votes.

It's too awful.

Hurry up and vote for your child with a monthly ticket.

After Maimai wiped away her tears, Lin Xian sat opposite her and asked:
"Maimai, have you recalled all your previous memories? Is it coherent?"

"Uh-huh."

She nodded, her thoughts clear:

"My name is Yang Maimai. I was born in 2222 and entered hibernation in 2239... So, I am 17 years old now. I remember all my memories from the 17 years before hibernation. They are all clear and coherent."

"Great."

Lin Xian secretly praised the beauty of science and said Gao Wen was worthy of the title of the Great Emperor.

"My dream since childhood is to write a novel..."

The pulse whispered:

"But I couldn't write anything that satisfied me. Later, I spent a long time and combined the strengths of many people. Finally, I wrote a book that satisfied and made me proud, "The Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor". Then, I sent the manuscript to the editor..."

"What did the editor say?" Lin Xian was inexplicably aroused with anticipation.

"The editor said..."

Maimai raised her head, her eyes full of grievance:

"The editor asked me, did you travel back in time from 200 years ago to write a novel now?"

puff--

Lin Xian couldn't help it.

Force yourself to smile.

This editor is so sharp-tongued, traveling from 200 years ago to the present... Actually, there's nothing wrong with this comment.

"The editor said that what I wrote was too old-fashioned," said Maimai.

"Indeed." Lin Xian agreed.

"The editor also said that this kind of book might be popular in a few hundred years. Fashion and popularity are cyclical. In a few hundred years, there might be a Renaissance."

"Then you hibernated?" Lin Xian was a little surprised.

"Yup!"

Maimai straightened her back and patted her flat chest and abdomen:
"There is no place for my talent in the old era. I can only try my luck in the new era!"

"Lin Xian, please tell me quickly, what is the current era like? Will my book "Devouring the Sky Demon Emperor" be popular?"

Lin Xian gave a thumbs up:
"Platinum of talent."

"real!?"

"Yeah, but first... we have to define a world view."

Okay, the guide is in place.

Lin Xian opened the manuscript of "Devouring the Devil Emperor", turned the cover, and pointed at the words on it:
"You wrote that on April 2025, 4, the fog of the devil quietly descended upon the earth, and had already sentenced this world to destruction... and also said that this story setting was adapted from a real event."

"So, what is the prototype of this real event, do you still remember?"

Maimai nodded vigorously:
"Of course I remember! I looked up a lot of information to write this novel! But this incident is well known to everyone, and you didn't notice it... Is it because I wrote it too obscurely?"

“[April 2025, 4, is the day when the hibernation virus suddenly breaks out and spreads around the world.]”

what?
Lin Xian opened his eyes wide.

Listening to these strange words.

[Inhibit hibernation virus]?
What kind of virus is this?
Suppress hibernation? There is such a virus? I have never heard Professor Xu Yun and Tang Xin talk about it, and... I have never seen it in the previous world lines and dreams.

"What is the hibernation-inhibiting virus?"

Lin Xian asked.

She smiled tenderly and proudly raised her flat chest and abdomen:
"Hehe! You've asked the right person! In order to write "The Sky Devouring Demon Emperor", I looked up a lot of information from the past, so I know this virus very well!"

"The hibernation-inhibiting virus... is a virus that prevents humans from hibernating. After being infected with this virus, humans will not experience any harmful symptoms, nor will it cause any harm. It has no effect on physical health or lifespan."

"However, those infected with this virus are doomed to be unable to sleep in a hibernation chamber. This is because the virus resides in the brain and will only be activated in a low-temperature environment, stimulating the brain and preventing it from falling asleep."

"You understand, don't you? The temperature in the hibernation chamber must be lowered to dozens of degrees below zero, which greatly reduces the body's functions in order to achieve hibernation. And because of the existence of this virus, humans can't fall asleep in a low-temperature environment, so naturally... they will say goodbye to hibernation forever."

"Other than that, the virus is not harmful at all, and the incubation period is very long, three months. So it is very contagious, and no one in the world is immune."

"It was not until nearly 200 years later that the virus, which had been spreading continuously for 200 years, finally lost its toxicity and transmissibility and completely disappeared from the world, and humans finally returned to hibernation."

"Of course, those who hibernate in the hibernation chamber before the virus outbreak on April 2025, 4 will definitely not be affected... as long as they don't wake up halfway; otherwise, once they wake up, they will still be infected with the virus and will not be able to hibernate again; unless they wait until 17, when the virus completely loses its toxicity and transmissibility."

"Look at me. I was born in 2222. When I was born, the hibernation-inhibiting virus had already disappeared from the world. So people of our generation had no problem sleeping in a hibernation chamber."

"Wait a moment."

Lin Xian discovered a blind spot:
"You said that the incubation period of this virus is three months. Is it contagious during these three months?"

"will not."

Maimai shook her head:
"The virus must remain dormant in the body for three months before it becomes effective and contagious; however, once infected, even if the virus is in the incubation period, it is impossible to hibernate in a hibernation cabin."

"Correct."

Lin Xian nodded:
"That's the problem."

"You said that this virus suddenly broke out and spread around the world on April 2025, 4. But its incubation period is three months, and it can only start to spread after the incubation period..."

"This is a bit unreasonable. How did the timing come about? Logically, symptoms and infections should have started to appear around the world before April 4, and the outbreak should have spread slowly, gradually accelerated, and spread."

"What kind of operation would be needed to fix a certain day and allow the virus to break out simultaneously around the world? This does not conform to the logic of virology."

"NO~NO~NO~"

Maimai shook her head and laughed:

"This is the prototype of the villain [Demon] in my novel! In fact, it was decades later when humans truly identified this virus. Do you know how the prototype of [Demon] operated at that time?"

"It's not hard to guess, actually. You can just work backwards... Look, isn't the incubation period three months?"

“那也就是说，在2025年4月17日，病毒在全世界爆发传播的那一批传播者，他们肯定集体感染于2025年1月17日。”

"So how could it be possible that so many people were infected on January 1 and then spread around the world over the next three months?"

"Yes, it's the devil!"

Mai Mai became more and more excited as she spoke, her voice booming:

"【The prototype of the demon god, although I don't know who it is... but he must have injected this virus into his body three months earlier, on October 2024, 10!】"

"Three months later, on January 2025, 1, he would be the only person in the world with the virus at the time, and he would only need to appear at an international airport with a large flow of people."

"In one day, he was able to infect tens of thousands of people coming and going at the airport, and then these tens of thousands of infected people would carry the virus to all parts of the world... Although they were not contagious at the time, three months later on April 2025, 4, the incubation period of these tens of thousands of people ended at the same time and they began to spread the virus!"

"This is what happened on April 2025, 4—"

"[Suppress hibernation virus and infect the whole world!]"

……

Lin Xian listened to Maimai's indignant explanation.

In my heart, however, I kept going back to the three-month incubation period.

Today is April 2025, 4, and there are only 10 days left before the explosive spread of the hibernation virus.

At this moment, tens of thousands of infected people carrying the "Devil's Seed" have spread all over the world. They are only waiting for the three-month incubation period to end at the same time, and they will be able to erupt at the same time on April 4, turning into the "Devil's Mist covering the world."

Then, let’s push the incubation period back another three months.

The first person infected with the virus on Earth, the infected person No. 2024 who personally injected this artificial virus into his body, the prototype of the devil... completed this operation six months ago, on October 10, 17.

At that time.

His ninth dream has appeared, and at a gathering of the Genius Club more than ten days later, Einstein announced that mankind has ushered in the best future and the game is over.

and so……

Lin Xian narrowed his eyes and thought of a person's name.

That mysterious

Talking about fairness,

A thin man...

"[Gauss]."
