Genius Club.

Chapter 92 Blind Spot (asking for monthly ticket)

It's getting late.

The sun sets in the west and the moon rises.

Through the window facing the street, Lin Xian looked up and once again saw the white jade plate split into two by the terrifying black hand.

How funny...

No matter how many times he saw the moon like this, Lin Xian always found it ridiculous.

The logo of the Genius Club would appear and cover the moon. This was something Lin Xian could never have imagined. Even if he were asked to write a novel, he could not think of such a setting.

But from another perspective, this behavior is indeed very "genius", and it does fit Lin Xian's impression of the Genius Club.

Weird, and arrogant.

Cover the moon with the monogram so that every person on Earth can look up at night and see the right hand on the moon with its index finger pointing straight up.

I don't know how serious it is.

To sum up, Lin Xian knew very little about the Genius Club, but there was one thing that really concerned him -

The Genius Club only killed Xu Yun but did not take away his research materials. But in this dream world, they not only took away the big-faced cat father, but also took away all his scripts...

"This means..."

"【The Genius Club doesn't care about Xu Yun's research results, but they are afraid of the research results of Big Face Cat's father and the cosmological constant! They are afraid of the true meaning of 42.】"

Lin Xian stood up and once again confirmed his previous inference.

Perhaps this cosmological constant of 42...

It really is the Genius Club’s greatest weakness and what they fear the most.

He walked out of the room.

Go up the stairs.

Come to the roof of the second floor.

The roof is covered with clotheslines, as well as some miscellaneous green plants.

Lin Xian turned around and looked at the huge New Donghai City with bright neon lights in the distance.

It is so tall and huge...standing between heaven and earth.

in fact.

There is still a chance to figure out the meaning of the cosmological constant 42.

Lin Xian stared at the colorful steel city:

"If the Genius Club kills these scientists, the time must be set at 00:42..."

“那就说明，大脸猫的父亲现在还没死。一直到2624年8月29日00：42之前，他都是存活的。”

"As long as we sneak into New East Sea City before this time and find Big Face Cat's father... we can ask him the meaning of the cosmological constant 42."

This is another race against time...

He always had an inexplicable feeling. Perhaps his unique dreams, the white light that destroyed the world at 00:42, the purpose of the Genius Club... and so on. All these mysteries were related to the mysterious number 42.

Lin Xian raised his head, looked at the moon covered by the black hand in the sky, looked at the boundless dark universe behind the moon, and recalled the words that Big Face Cat's father had been saying:
"42... everywhere."

Lin Xian scanned the steel walls of New Donghai City that stretched for dozens of kilometers from west to east:
"Right now, we have to go to this new Donghai City."

After coming out of the dream last time, Lin Xian set two main tasks for himself.

One is to find out about the cosmological constant 42 from Big Face Cat’s father.

The other is to enter the New Donghai City, find the correct history book, and figure out how this future world developed step by step.

nowadays.

Because Big Face Cat's father was captured and taken to New Donghai City, these two main tasks seemed to have merged into one.

The biggest gain from this dream today is that I learned that the cosmological constant is 42.

But what exactly does 42 mean?
Why is it 42?

What is the function of 42?
This is still the biggest mystery in Lin Xian's mind.

"Hey! Bro! Why are you standing so high? Come down now!"

Lower your head.

In the yard, the big-faced cat had already fed the pigs and dogs, and called Lin Xian down:
"Come down quickly! We have to buy roast chicken for our son. Stop wasting time!"

……

Since Big Face Cat's father is not here and there is nothing useful or valuable left in the room, there is really no point in staying here.

Lin Xian closed the doors, windows and lights, got on Big Face Cat’s motorcycle, put on a helmet, and started his journey back.

Chug tug tug tug——

Big Face Cat's motorcycle was emitting foul-smelling black smoke as it sped along the bumpy dirt road.

The entire journey was speechless.

Lin Xian's mind was full of thoughts about the cosmological constant 42, and how to sneak into New Donghai City and find Big Face Cat's father...

"【No, there is actually another way.】"

Lin Xian suddenly had an idea and thought of a highlight.

"Brother Face!"

He was sitting on the back of a motorcycle, with his big face and cat ears sticking out, yelling. The speed was very fast and the wind was strong, so he had to yell so that the other person could hear him:

"You said your father's book, the "Introduction to the Cosmological Constant," was a book from 600 years ago? Are you sure?"

"Yup!"

Brother Lian didn't look back, but yelled into the wind:
"My father said it himself. He has been reading this book for so many years that it is almost torn apart. There is no doubt about it. This is an ancient book from 600 years ago, dug out from a grave."

"But that's not right, Brother Lian, this is not scientific." Lin Xian shouted:
"Unless it is preserved in a laboratory-grade state, it is impossible for a book to be read normally after 600 years."

"If you are lucky and the preservation conditions are suitable, maybe it can be restored as a cultural relic when it is dug out from the ancient tomb; if you are unlucky, it may turn into fragments and rot if touched."

"But no matter what the situation is, it is absolutely impossible for it to remain intact after being turned over by your father for so many years. This is absolutely impossible. The shelf life of paper is actually very short."

Boom...boom...

As the motorcycle drove into the village market, Big Face Cat slowed down, and the two of them were able to communicate without shouting:

"Brother, you are not very smart."

Big Face Cat parked his motorcycle behind the roast chicken shop and looked at Lin Xian:

"It is true that my father's book is an ancient book from 600 years ago, but it is not the one dug out from the tomb! My son also has a set of Journey to the West. Can you say that this set of books was dug out from 1000 years ago?"

"It must have been printed later! Not to mention that my father has no ability to dig a 600-year-old tomb... Even if a book is really dug out, who would dare to keep such an unlucky thing at home? My father saw that it was dug out from the tomb from the book cover. Who knows whether it is true or not."

After saying that, he happily went to buy a roast chicken.

Lin Xian also understood what he wanted to express.

The original book "Introduction to the Cosmological Constant" was created 600 years ago and written by a mathematician 600 years ago.

This is the same reason why Journey to the West was written by Wu Cheng'en during the Ming Dynasty.

The "Journey to the West" that everyone is reading now is definitely a printed book that has been reprinted countless times, not the original one written by Wu Cheng'en or the one dug out from a tomb.

The same is true for "Introduction to the Cosmological Constant". It is true that this book was created 600 years ago, but the copy in Big Face Cat's father's hand is also a "reprint" printed and published later.

In other words, [This book is not a unique copy! ]

This provides Lin Xian with a new idea to solve the mystery of the cosmological constant 42.

2624 years ago in 600 is roughly around 2024, which is the same era as 2023 where we are!
This means... the original author of "Introduction to the Cosmological Constant" is very likely living in the reality of 2023!
As long as we know who the original author of this book is, can't we just go find him in the reality of 2023?
Although judging from the current situation, it is possible that the original author never figured out the answer to the cosmological constant until his death.

But it doesn’t matter.

I now know the final answer is 42.

As long as you communicate well with the original author, you will definitely gain something!
and so……

The most important thing at the moment is to understand who the original author of this book is!
It would be best to know the author's exact name, date of birth, activity location, position, workplace, etc. In short, the more detailed the better.

After thinking it through.

One more route to explore.

At this time, Brother Lian also came back with a roast chicken, and Lin Xian asked directly:

"Brother Lian, do you know the name of the author of the book "Introduction to the Cosmological Constant"? "

"I don't know, I have never read that book once."

"Where did your father buy that copy? Was it available in a bookstore?"

"How can we have such a profound book here!" Big-Faced Cat snorted:
"We don't have any real history or knowledge here. We are not qualified to know this. Only in New Donghai City can we find this kind of profound knowledge and real history."

?

Lin Xian caught the flaw in Big Face Cat's words:
"So... your father's book came from New Donghai City? How did he do that? Aren't you completely isolated from New Donghai City, with no communication at all?"

Well!
The big-faced cat shut his mouth tightly, his face livid, as if he had gotten into a terrible disaster:
"Ahem...Brother, I can't tell you the details about this."

"Don't, brother."

Lin Xian grabbed the roast chicken in his hand:

"I'm already your little brother, a member of your gang! How can you, as the big brother, hide something from me?"

"Just tell me straight! Are you hiding something from me? Is it related to your secret operation with A Zhuang and Er Zhu Zi at night?"

The big-faced cat was silent.

He looked at the roast chicken in his hand and didn't speak for a long time.

finally……

As if he had made a great decision, he nodded heavily:

"Brother, I admit that I did hide something from you."

Big-faced cat is still so honest and loyal:
"But I don't intend to keep it a secret from you."

"Actually, I was planning to tell you this while we were having dinner, but since you asked me now, I'll just say it straight out."

"We have a boss above us, and we have been working for him. I plan to take you to meet the boss tomorrow. As long as he likes you and allows you to join the operation, I will tell you everything."

"Of course... including the origin of my father's book. I believe the boss will definitely like your skills. But I am a frank and trustworthy person. Before the boss recognizes you, I absolutely cannot tell this matter to anyone, so please don't make it difficult for me."

……

Big Face Cat spoke very sincerely.

The words he said were exactly the same as the last time he entered his dream, which was that they had a boss above them who had been doing something secretly.

And he plans to take himself to see the boss "tomorrow".

It's tomorrow again!

Tomorrow after tomorrow, so many tomorrows!
What's more, there is no tomorrow in this future world, and Big Face Cat has written himself a blank check that can never be cashed.

"No, I have to see the boss today."

Lin Xian was very determined and held the chicken leg tightly:
"I am confident in my skills. Take me to meet the boss today, and I can participate in gang activities tonight."

"I really can't do it today, brother! What time is it now!" Big Face Cat slapped Lin Xian's hand:

"Hand off my son's chicken legs!"

"Okay, brother, stop making such a fuss. Since I said I'd take you to see the boss tomorrow, I'll take you there even if the sky falls! Why are you so flustered? Really..."

however!
Lin Xian grabbed the chicken leg tightly, threatening to tear it apart:
"Brother Lian, just take me with you. If the boss is not satisfied with me, I will turn around and leave without getting involved. Is that okay?"

"I will never waste your time. No matter how the boss evaluates me, as long as the results are not satisfactory, I will leave without saying a word!"

The skin of the chicken drumstick has been torn!
The white flesh began to break apart...and it looked like it was about to collapse!
"Alright, alright, alright! Oh shit, I'm really impressed by you! Let go, let go! Can't you take me there?"

Lin Xian smiled slightly and let go of the chicken leg.

Big Face Cat hung the roast chicken on the handlebars of the motorcycle while cursing and pointed at Lin Xian:

"It's settled. If the boss doesn't agree to your participation in the event tonight, you should stop talking and hurry home with me. I'll say a few good words for you later so that you can take the make-up exam. Let's send the roast chicken home to our son first."

"I understand. Don't worry, Brother Lian."

Lin Xian quickly sat on the back seat of the motorcycle.

joke!

Erzhuzi's bamboo pole that spied on the eldest sister-in-law, and Sanpang's idiot were able to pass the boss's assessment... How is he not better than them in terms of climbing walls and running on rooftops?
If I can't even pass the boss's assessment, all my dreams over the years will be in vain.

After meeting the boss and joining the secret operation at night, I naturally knew where the book "Introduction to Cosmological Constant" came from.

As long as you get another copy of "Introduction to the Cosmological Constant", you can lock down the author's name, photo, work unit, hometown and other information based on the author information on the book cover... Then, you can find him in the real year 2023 and ask him everything about the cosmological constant 42!
This method is a bit troublesome though...

But compared to sneaking into Xindonghai City alone to find Big Face Cat’s father, it is still much simpler and not difficult to achieve.

He was really curious:
"Which genius is this..."

“How could someone have written Introduction to the Cosmological Constant 600 years ago?”

……

Squeak————

Big Face Cat's rickety motorcycle stopped in front of a large courtyard.

Green tiles, red walls, and paulownia wood doors give it a full sense of wealth.

I couldn't see the layout of the compound clearly... but just looking at the exaggerated area it occupied was enough to imagine how luxurious the buildings inside were.

In this poor little village, this huge courtyard seems particularly out of place, like the Forbidden City in the slums.

"When it comes to my brother, he is our boss."

Big Face Cat jumped out of the car and pointed at a middle-aged man who was watering flowers in the neat and clean courtyard.

Dressed in a brocade grey robe, he has the air of a sage scholar.

He pulled Lin Xian into the gate and shouted:

"Boss! I've brought my new little brother to meet you."

The man watering the flowers picked up the kettle, turned around with a smile, gentle and majestic, like a spring breeze.

Lin Xian raised his head...

He never expected to see this face here!
"Li Cheng?"
