Genius Club.

Chapter 536 Earth Forbidden Zone
Everyone sitting in the audience are Lin Xian’s long-time partners.

But so many years had passed before.

Lin Xian did not share all the intelligence and information. Whether it was for confidentiality or security reasons, he concealed many things.

Something to say.

Only VV and Liu Feng knew the whole story. After all, they were the comrades who had been with Lin Xian from the very beginning and provided a lot of help to Lin Xian in his battles and adventures.

And now.

Lin Xian wants to do what Einstein wanted to do but failed to do——

Tell all geniuses about the real dangers and doomsday of the future, pool wisdom, unite as one, explore together, and save the future of human civilization!

This time...

Sitting in the No. 1 seat in the new genius club, Lin Xian did not hide anything and poured out all the truths and secrets he knew.

No need to ask questions,

No restrictions required,

There is no need to hide everyone's plans.

We are all sitting here as a group that is in the same boat.

This.

This is the real genius club!
……

Lin Xian spent a long time telling the story, starting from 1952.

爱因斯坦、CC、千年桩、时空粒子、牛顿和哥白尼的善恶双簧、伽利略和达芬奇的世纪纠葛、季心水与七宗罪、凯文·沃克与VV、天才俱乐部的邀请函、《忧伤的爱因斯坦》油画、《宇宙常数导论》、梦境与42的谜题、楚安晴的消散、CC的记忆碎片、以及最终……2624年8月29日00：42分的灭世白光。

This is the displacement of generation after generation.

just now.

The baton was passed to Lin Xian, along with the replacement of the old and new genius clubs; and he will also inherit Einstein's will and original intention, and give mankind a better tomorrow and an endless future.

“That’s all the stories.”

After Lin Xian finished telling everything, he looked at his stunned companions in the audience.

They only knew more or less about Lin Xian’s past before, but they never expected... it was so magnificent, so tortuous and long.

No one spoke.

They are digesting the plot that sounds as mysterious as a fantasy novel, but they can better understand what kind of mastermind is hiding in the dark side of the world.

"Cough cough."

Du Yao coughed twice, raised her head and said:
"So, we have two main goals now, which can be said to be exactly one after the other in terms of priority—"

"[1. Find Galileo as soon as possible to prevent the super disaster in 2600, and use it to reverse the curvature of space-time and make the world line jump.]"

"【2. Find a way to find out the truth about the white light that destroyed the world in 2624, and do everything we can to stop it from destroying the earth so that human civilization can continue.】"

"Yes."

Liu Feng nodded:
"The reading of the space-time clock has not changed in 500 years. The reason is that this world line is a 'world line of total annihilation' created by a combination of multiple factors."

"Of course, this 'total annihilation' is the real ending that Lin Xian saw. In the eyes of Einstein and Copernicus Newton who firmly believed in Einstein... this 'total annihilation world line' is precisely the 'most perfect world line'."

Liu Feng's voice had just fallen.

Cheng Qian raised his right hand:

"I have a question."

As the youngest member, he rubbed his chin and frowned as he said:
"I think there's a blind spot here that we have to find. It's ..."

"According to Lin Xian, there have been many world lines before that were no different from the complete extinction of humanity, such as the fifth and sixth dreams. Technology and civilization have degenerated severely, and the global population is only a few million. This is actually not much different from the complete extinction of humanity."

"Moreover, since we can still find Maimai in the Ninth Dream, it means that strictly speaking, human civilization is not completely destroyed. We can find a living Maimai in the East China Sea... then what about the other underground hibernation bases that Lin Xian has not discovered? There are so many underground hibernation bases around the world?"

“So, there is a very strange point here——”

"Why is it that only the ninth dream and the 0.0001764 world line allow Einstein to see a satisfactory and best future, instead of ultimately deceiving Einstein in other world lines?"

"Obviously, many world lines have doomsday, and every world line is eventually destroyed by the white light... According to my understanding, as long as the white light can successfully destroy everything in the end, there is almost no difference between these world lines."

VV quickly gave Cheng Qian a thumbs up and nodded excitedly:

"That's right! Master Cheng Qian is very observant and meticulous!"

"But if we look at this question together with other information, it won't be difficult to guess the answer."

Gao Wen looked at Cheng Qian and explained to him:

"Cheng Qian, you overlooked one point, which is also the key to all the truth... the cosmological constant, 42."

"According to our previous analysis, the real mastermind and mysterious force behind the scenes are not afraid of any degree of technological development by humans. They look at humans just like humans look at ants. No matter how they struggle, they are destined to be weak. No ant nest can withstand a pot of hot water."

“Even if humans are able to develop super weapons that are hundreds or tens of thousands of times more powerful than nuclear weapons, to the masterminds and mysterious forces behind the scenes, it seems to be just a baby’s cry and nothing to be afraid of.”

"However, there is only one exception... the cosmological constant is 42."

After a pause, Gawain continued:

"I think now you should be able to understand the difference between the ninth dream and other dreams."

"The existence of Einstein, Liu Feng, and Big Face Cat's father Chen Heping all prove that humans are capable of calculating 42, understanding 42, and mastering 42. The true power behind 42 is the only threat that the mastermind behind the scenes truly fears."

After all, Cheng Qian is an extraordinary genius and he understands everything immediately.

Immediately realized:

"So that's it. The reason why Einstein saw the false perfect world line at the 0.0001764 world line is that humans are almost completely extinct on this world line! There is absolutely no possibility of understanding and mastering the cosmological constant 42!"

"Although the previous world lines also had a super disaster in 2400, after 200 years of reproduction and development, there are still millions of people surviving on Earth. Add to that the population of Mars, and it is inevitable that some of these people will understand the truth about 42."

"But what is certain is that in the world of the Ninth Dream, it is absolutely impossible for any human to comprehend 42." "The reason is simple. The total population is too small. Moreover, survival is a problem, and knowledge is severely lost. The few humans left can hardly even recover from the farming era, let alone study mathematics."

"Even Chen Heping, the father of the big-faced cat, did not appear in the Ninth Dream. So... for the mastermind, the Ninth Dream is the safest world line. In this world line, no one will ever calculate 42 to threaten them."

"That is to say, the 0.0001764 world line is not the best world line for human civilization, but the best world line for the masterminds behind the scenes. They can both complete the mission of the Millennium Pile and prevent human civilization from becoming too powerful by studying and mastering the power of 42. It can be said to be a perfect two-birds-with-one-stone deal!"

Listening to the discussion, Du Yao also figured it out:

"Cheng Qian's analysis is correct. That's why the mastermind allowed Einstein to see the most false and beautiful future in this world line. In this way, Einstein must do his best to maintain the stability of this world line and allow it to develop smoothly."

"In Einstein's perspective, human beings will become more and more prosperous and escape the fate of self-destruction; but in reality, human beings are in a dead 'pasture', step by step towards the abyss of extinction."

"The biggest difference between the super disaster in 2600 and the super disaster in 2400 is that 2600 is too close to 2624. Even if a very small number of humans survive, it will be too late to do anything."

"Gauss's virus, Newton's scientific suppression, and Galileo's world-destroying disaster form a true trinity, making this world line unbreakable."

Jask smiled and shrugged:

"It's like this, great Ms. Du Yao, if it weren't for your extraordinary talent in the field of cranial nerves, the cranial nerve electric shock helmet would not have been manufactured at all, and those of us who have been in hibernation for a long time would not have been able to recover our memories. Naturally... there would not be a brand new genius club today."

"It's hard to say. Perhaps each of us is the creator of this unbreakable world line, but it is no longer necessary to consider the past events and reasons. We must always look forward and solve these problems."

"Ms. Du Yao, the two issues you just summarized are indeed the top priorities at the moment. However, for the second issue, exploring the truth of the world-destroying white light, Lin Xian and I have already thought of a solution. Uh... it's a bit too optimistic to call it a solution, but at least it's an attempt."

"Therefore, the second question can be put aside for now. My 22 space-time particle detection rockets will be ready soon. I hope they can complete their mission and observe the traces of the world-destroying white light in the vast universe in advance."

Lin Xian nodded and said:
"The world-destroying white light is indeed too far away from us. We can't catch any trace of it before it arrives, and it's too late to catch anything when it arrives. In addition, there are no clues except for my brief contact, so... let's leave this matter to Jask's detection rocket."

"Next, we need to discuss how to find Galileo before the year 2600 and prevent him from causing a global disaster."

"Cheng Qian, VV, you two are the top computer network geniuses in the club, and finding people should be your strong point. But VV has been looking for a long time and still can't find him. And Newton's arrogant attitude before his death... It seems that he is also very confident that we can't find Galileo at all."

"What do you two think about this? Any suggestions?"

Cheng Qian and the Hafnium Alloy Trash Can looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.

Cheng Qian sighed:
"Speaking of this problem, I am also troubled. In this era, in 2504, every corner of the world has been connected to the Internet, not to mention all kinds of electronic terminals. It stands to reason that with the super artificial intelligence VV, there can't be any dead ends or blind spots in the world. Why can't it be found?"

Hafnium Alloy VV imitated Lin Xian and spread his hands:

"The last time Newton made such a boast, I was very disdainful and said that as long as Galileo was still on Earth, I would definitely find him. But now... I feel like I'm really going to be slapped in the face by Newton. I have searched every corner of the world and every hibernation chamber with all my strength, but I haven't found anyone who even remotely resembles Galileo."

"From this point of view... there seems to be only one possibility, that is, before you all hibernate in 2025, Galileo already has an underground shelter with independent power supply and isolation from the world, similar to Einstein's."

"Imagine if there is a shielded place powered by micro-nuclear batteries, without any network cables or wires connected to the outside world. Such a defense system would be perfect for Cheng Qian and me."

"If that's the case, if you want to find Galileo, you shouldn't ask for help from network experts. Instead, you should ask for help from detectives, or...archaeologists, or tomb raiders."

……

For a moment, the conference hall fell into silence.

With such a vast sea of ​​people and such a big earth, it is already difficult to find a person accurately, not to mention that even Cheng Qian and VV couldn't do anything together. Are there any other good ideas?
Du Yao closed her eyes.

There seemed to be some flashes of inspiration in my mind.

"[If it is difficult to find from the perspective of searching, should we think in reverse and consider where Galileo might be hiding?]"

She opened her eyes, looked up, and looked at Lin Xian:

"Lin Xian, please tell us the original translation of your final argument with Newton, the part about Galileo."

This happened a few days ago. Lin Xian remembered it very clearly and said slowly:

"At that time, Newton was forced into a desperate situation. He said that no matter what his purpose was, he was destined to be unable to change anything. He said that this world line was a perfect world line forged by many geniuses, including Einstein, and even if he died, he would not be able to change the balance of the world line."

"Then Galileo was suddenly mentioned, and Newton said... 'Besides, there is Galileo. I am not surprised that you can find me, but you can't find Galileo anyway... no matter how powerful your artificial intelligence is.'"

"Then VV was very dissatisfied and shouted that as long as Galileo was still alive on Earth, he would be found."

Recalling Newton's dry laugh at that time, it was indeed quite meaningful.

"Then, before Newton detonated the mechanical heart, he smiled strangely and said one last word."

Lin Xian imitated Newton's laughter and tone, and said:
"That's... not necessarily true."

……

Jask thought:
"What do you think of what Newton said? Did Galileo live on Earth or not?"

"Anyway, I can be sure that Galileo will be on Earth before 2025. Before we all hibernate, no country will have the ability to send people to the moon, let alone long-distance space travel or a spacecraft carrying a hibernation chamber. It is pure fantasy."

VV lifts the clip:

"You won't have it even after you wake up from hibernation. In the age of electronic networks, all intelligence is transparent to me, not to mention a major project like the moon landing spacecraft."

"I've checked all the information. There are no hibernation chambers on the moon, and no one who looks like Galileo has ever landed on the moon. As for interstellar travel... it's all Newton's fault for deliberately leading us on the wrong path. Human spaceflight has wasted hundreds of years. It's only been a few years since we got on the right track, and we're still a long way from the interstellar travel we imagined."

"Besides, all the exploration spacecraft are currently in contact with the Earth. I have searched all of them, but there is no sign of Galileo either."

Gawain sighed:
"So, Galileo must still be on Earth, and he has never woken up since the onset of the Gauss virus."

"Galileo's goal must be to hibernate until the year 2600 and then cause a super disaster. Now...how can we find him in advance?"

It seems that my thoughts have reached a dead end.

But Du Yao smiled slightly and stood up from the chair:
"Friends, I think... I have the answer."

She said softly:
"We reverse-analyzed Galileo's actions and goals. Since his goal was to reach the year 2600, he would have to find a very remote and safe place where no one would ever dig and no one would ever discover it."

"It's hard to find such a place. After all, the world is developing so fast, the population is exploding, and every corner of the earth has been built and developed. And for hundreds of years, he is not like Einstein who is always awake and can adapt to changes."

"However... there is only one place that has been a forbidden zone on Earth since ancient times. Because of the existence of the International Convention, it is the last pure land on Earth, and no sovereignty, occupation, pollution, or destruction is allowed. It is also the most peaceful, quietest, and farthest away from the secular world on Earth."

Du Yao looked around and said the place that everyone knew but was most easily overlooked.

"[Antarctica.]"
