Genius Club.

Chapter 523 Resurrection, my VV
Two days later.

USA, Brooklyn, underground air-raid shelter in an abandoned farm.

"Wow!"

After Jask walked out of the hafnium alloy elevator, he opened his eyes wide and walked into the underground space like a curious elementary school student:

"That's so cool! That's so cool!"

Jask stood in the brightly lit room, slowly turning around and looking around:
"I've dreamed of having a secret base like this since I was a kid. Look... this is so cool! The energy is supplied by nuclear batteries, which are inexhaustible, so the lights here can stay on for thousands of years without having to worry about saving energy."

"Then you look at these devices and parts. Basically, hafnium alloys are used wherever they can be used. Where rigid materials cannot be used, new plastics that are resistant to corrosion and aging are used. They can be used for hundreds of years without any problems."

"Lin Xian, you just woke up not long ago, so you may not know much about the materials science of this era. In the current materials world, plastics are really amazing. Various new types of plastics are no less than hafnium alloys."

"Of course, I'm only saying that it's comparable to hafnium alloy in terms of durability, not hardness and strength. Molded hafnium alloy is indeed invincible at present; but no matter what, plastics can be developed to this level nowadays. Don't you think it's amazing?"

however.

Lin Xian shook his head:
"I don't think it's so amazing. I don't know what kind of education you received in the United States when you were a child. Anyway, in our country of Long, we have been calling plastic bags white garbage since we were young. We say that they will not degrade even if they are buried in the soil for decades or hundreds of years."

"So, if you tell me now that plastic can last for hundreds of years without aging, I'm not surprised at all. I guess it's because I drank too much toxic chicken soup when I was a child, which made me think it should be this way."

Jask spread his hands:

"There is a big difference between not being able to completely degrade and not aging and being able to be used continuously. Besides, plastic is a general term, and there are differences between plastics. Some plastics are environmentally friendly, recyclable and quickly degradable, while others can be stable for hundreds of years."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. I'm just shocked by how cool... Einstein built this secret base!"

"Is it true that every science and engineering guy dreams of having a secret base? Logically speaking, for someone like Einstein who doesn't eat or drink and is immortal, there's no need for such luxurious facilities. If you give him a coffin, he can lie in it for hundreds of years without dying."

Lin Xian followed Jask and continued to walk inside:
"But don't forget that after Einstein was hit by the space-time particles, his body changed and he could see a false future, but..."

"[He is, in essence, still a human being.]"

There was a pause.

Lin Xian continued:

"As long as you are human, you will have emotions, desires and needs. At the same time, you will make mistakes, regret and feel guilty."

He pointed to the piles of canned food, drinking water, and hibernation chambers in the corner next to him:

"Look at those things. Einstein obviously didn't need them at all, but he still prepared them completely."

"This shows that he has always regarded himself as a human being. He did not regard himself as noble as God, nor was he as arrogant as Turing to be a judge and observer. He always stood on the side of humans."

"Um……"

Jask rubbed his chin and shook his head:

"I think a little differently from you."

He turned around and looked at Lin Xian:

"I have had more contact with Einstein than you have. He was a very rational person, far less emotional than you say."

"Of course, people change. Maybe the Einstein you met in 1952 was just so emotional. But after so many years, the Einstein I know as the president of the Genius Club has become extremely rational and sensible."

"He would not have gone to the trouble of preparing food, water, and a hibernation chamber. This is completely meaningless. Moreover, for someone with lofty ambitions like Einstein, eating, drinking, defecating, urinating, and sleeping are not that important."

"So, I think the reason why these things exist here..."

"[Is it possible, Lin Xian, that these food, water, and hibernation chambers were actually prepared for you by Einstein?]"

Lin Xian stopped and pointed at himself:
"I?"

He chuckled as if he had heard a joke:
"For Lin Xian? Or for Douglas?"

"That's not clear."

Jask shrugged.

"On the way here, didn't you tell me what happened in 1952? Einstein is still looking forward to meeting Douglas again."

"Even though he couldn't see the future of reuniting with Douglas, he would rather doubt himself than suspect that Douglas was deceiving him."

"So, he used space-time particles and a small oven to preserve your watch, and kept the farm the same as it was in 1952 so he wouldn't let you get lost."

"Thinking from this perspective, he prepared these food, water and hibernation chambers that only humans need, and they could only be for Douglas, that is, you."

"After all, he only guessed that Douglas was hit by the space-time particles like him and became immortal, but there is no solid evidence for this; perhaps Einstein was also taking precautions and thought a lot about it, and prepared everything Douglas needed for survival in advance."

……

Lin Xian didn't say anything while listening to Jask's analysis.

Whatever the real reason is.

Now there is no evidence to prove it.

He walked to the nine chairs in the Genius Club and looked at the empty former venue:

“Before adopting VR online gatherings, where did the genius club hold offline gatherings?”

“Brussels.”

Jask replied:
“Brussels, Belgium, where Einstein and Bohr once had the century-long debate on quantum mechanics.”

Lin Xian laughed:
"Look, I said that Einstein was essentially a human being, and he also held a grudge... I can't say he held a grudge, but I can say that he was indeed resentful about the debate of the century."

Jask squatted down and stroked the carpet to the right of the high chair with his fingers:
“Is this the place where Einstein disappeared into blue stardust?”

Lin Xian nodded:
"Yes, after Einstein finally pressed that button and activated the Genius Club gathering system, he collapsed here and disappeared."

Jask pursed his lips, thought for a few seconds, and said slowly:
"In fact, the most incredible thing about Einstein is that he was not a time traveler, but he triggered the forced avoidance and disappeared, which is very unreasonable."

"His situation is indeed very strange. His time-space rejection is also selective. Only his eyes turned blue, but his appearance did not change. At the same time, he did not travel through time and space in any way... In this case, why would there be forced avoidance?"

He raised his head and looked at Lin Xian:

"What do you think about this?"

"There's nothing strange about that."

Lin Xian said softly:

"Considering that Einstein was controlled and saw a false future, this means that all of this is a conspiracy by the real mastermind, the 'mysterious force' behind it."

"So, rather than saying that Einstein seemed to be forced to avoid, in fact, he was forced to shut up by a 'mysterious force'. It was not the laws of time and space that made Einstein shut up, but the 'mysterious force' that made him shut up and disappear."

"If it were only the laws of time and space that limited him, Einstein would definitely not have disappeared. Obviously, Einstein was unable to resist all this and could only apologize for everything in helplessness and powerlessness, and was forcibly dissipated."

Jask also agreed with Lin Xian's idea and added:
"You are right. The forced avoidance that should not have happened was the last straw that broke the camel's back for Einstein's spirit and will."

"It was the emergence of this forced avoidance and forced dissipation that made Einstein realize that he had really been deceived and controlled. Thinking about what he had done over the years, he was pushing his future into the abyss of destruction step by step. This truth was indeed very cruel to him."

Lin Xian let out a breath.

Turn around.

Looking at the computer server behind the high chair:

"So, this is what we have to do now, to find out the real truth and save everything, which can also be regarded as helping Einstein to make up for his mistakes and let him die in peace."

"That's why I brought you here today, Jask. I haven't told anyone about Einstein's underground shelter. Now we are the only two people in the world who know about it. It can be said to be the safest place in the world." "Those computers and servers in the back should be the foundation equipment of the Genius Club's gathering system. According to my guess, as long as we can break through the defense system and extract the network connection data inside, we should be able to identify the true identities of Newton and Galileo."

"clear."

Jask pulled his small computer out of his backpack, activated a series of devices, and began to work.

Lin Xian has always been unfamiliar with computer attack and defense techniques.

So he couldn't help much, he could only pull over a chair and sit next to him and watch Jask crackle.

Time passed minute by minute.

Sweat beads appeared on Jask's forehead.

The air here is not hot, it is even a little cold, which is enough to show that Jask is in a tough battle; at least... from Lin Xian's current perspective, he can't see any interface presenting data, and Jask is still fighting with the security system.

"No."

After trying for four or five hours, Jask wiped his sweat and shook his head regretfully:
"I can't overcome it, Lin Xian. It's not just me who can't overcome it. Based on my understanding of cutting-edge computer technology, all the top hackers of this era and the 23rd century can't deal with this defense system."

“Although I don’t like Turing, also known as Kevin Walker, I have to admit that his computer technology, especially security technology and hacking technology, was indeed hundreds of years ahead of its time.”

"As you know, the gathering system of the Genius Club was created by Kevin Walker alone. This system is the result of his highest level of skill. With the help of Einstein... it can only be said to be an iron wall, impregnable and impossible to break through."

Lin Xian was somewhat surprised:

"Is that an exaggeration?"

Jask sighed helplessly:

"Otherwise, why was Kevin Walker the undisputed strongest hacker on earth back then? Although I really don't want to praise him like this, we science and engineering people have to be realistic. He is indeed ridiculously strong."

"Think about it, can someone who can create digital life in the early 21st century be just an ordinary person?"

Lin Xian nodded silently.

Right.

Perhaps the time interval was too long and he had forgotten how powerful Kevin Walker was.

Think back to the beginning.

The super artificial intelligence VV tried its best but couldn't find Kevin Walker's real identity and real address. This is the best proof of its powerful strength.

Not only that.

The super artificial intelligence VV is the crystallization of technology 600 years later. Kevin Walker can actually fight back and forth with the juvenile VV and be evenly matched. This can no longer be described as ridiculously strong.

"That is to say, in this era, we can't find Newton and Galileo by cracking the gathering system of the Genius Club?"

"Yes, I'm sure of it."

Jask said in a serious tone:
"Before coming here, I had already made sufficient preparations, but after working so hard for so long, I didn't make any progress at all."

"Moreover, Kevin Walker's defense system cannot be solved by simple exhaustive methods. It is quite complicated... It even has a self-protection mechanism, which is far beyond the ability of this era."

"[If we want to take this path and break into the Genius Club gathering system, I think we can only seek help from a super programmer who is more talented than Kevin Walker.]"

Lin Xian frowned.

Someone who is even more talented than Kevin Walker, the genius of the century...

He could only think of two.

One.

He is Cheng Qian, a computer genius who created a super virus and pushed the upper limit of artificial intelligence.

another.

It is the super artificial intelligence VV that collapsed halfway through its business and was killed by a future virus.

But in fact, these two people are no different from one person.

If we want to completely eliminate the future virus and revive VV, we must rely on Cheng Qian to solve the problem. No one else has this ability.

and so……

"The only way to revive VV is to wait until Cheng Qian is born in 2482."

Lin Xian said softly.

"VV?"

Jask heard this strange yet familiar word.

I thought about it.

Suddenly I realized:

"Oh, so VV is your super artificial intelligence that I accidentally killed, right?"

"Oh, I'm really sorry about this. If I hadn't been deceived by that blue-eyed girl, your VV wouldn't have been killed, and this battle wouldn't be so difficult now."

"fine."

Lin Xian shook his head:
"It's not your fault."

"Even someone as smart as Einstein could be deceived, let alone you and me. Back then, that blue-eyed girl, the fake Yu Xi, not only deceived you, but also played me around. I have no right to blame you."

"When the enemy comes, we will fight back. Fortunately, there is still hope for VV to be resurrected. We just need to find Cheng Qian after 2482 years."

"As long as VV can be resurrected, our strength will naturally increase by more than a hundred times. Whether it's collecting intelligence or fighting the enemy, VV is basically invincible in the era without the virus. As long as he is given enough time to develop, he has no upper limit."

Jask hummed.

Folding his arms, his expression was somewhat embarrassed:
"But, you also said that the super genius programmer Cheng Qian will not be born until 2482. By the time he grows up and has sufficient abilities, it will probably be 2500 years."

"2500 years, which is more than 200 years from now. If you want to find Cheng Qian, you must hibernate again and sleep for another 270 years..."

"I don't want to either."

Lin Xian said sincerely:

"If there is another way to solve this problem in the current era, that would certainly be the best solution."

"But if this is our last resort, our last hope..."

He closed his eyes and recalled the last letter Zhao Yingjun wrote to him——

[So, look forward, don't look back. Now our mission has ended, and the baton of saving the future is once again in your hands. We are not leaving, but turning into the wind and sunshine in this world, standing behind you forever. ]

Look forward, don't look back.

Lin Xian opened his eyes:

“Countless people have made sacrifices and given their lives for the future of humanity to get to this point.”

"If it is really necessary..."

He clenched his fists:
"I will keep going until the end of the world!"
