Chapter 37 A Race Against Time

This answer.

The whole room erupted in an uproar.

The club members exchanged glances, truly not expecting that this question would be refused!

It was too unexpected.

Where Einstein's ashes were scattered was, in itself, a question of little value.

Everyone knew that the famous physicist Einstein died in 1955, his brain was stolen by a doctor, and after his body was cremated, his ashes were scattered in an undisclosed location by his children. After a person dies, it doesn't matter where their ashes are scattered.

Moreover, 70 years had passed, and no matter where the ashes were scattered, they had probably long since turned into nutrients for flowers, plants, and trees.

But why would the president of the Genius Club, the old man wearing an Einstein mask, refuse to answer such a question where the answer didn't matter at all?

"If it was a question about Jiasike, Du Yao, Copernicus, Galileo, Gauss, Tesla, Turing, or even Rhein Cat under such history alone, you would agree to answer."

Newton did not directly inquire about the Space-Time Killer. That way.

The meeting ended quickly.

It seemed impossible to obtain the real answer through questioning. Einstein clearly stated --

Waiting for next month's gathering, when Bao Shijin asks Einstein about Gauss's information, Einstein will say --

Is there anyone who can disregard the passage of time, who won't age, won't die, and will always live in this world?

At this time, Einstein raised his head and looked at Newton: all the members had finished asking their questions.

Because even if the answer to this question was obtained, it was unlikely to be resolved in a short period of time.

Even considering the theory of space-time travel, it was still inexplicable. Names absolutely couldn't be mentioned. Therefore, it was better to ask in more general terms. "But I'm not taking the blame for this, I have absolutely no interest in things like ashes." If Einstein answered that there were still Space-Time Killers, it would prove that Bao Shijin was not completely dead, or that there were still remnants, and that his entangled space-time particle would still be stolen.

"Starting today, what is the earliest time we will see a time traveler from the future?"

1. Inquire about Mr. Bao Shi's information to help himself quickly locate the target, and in this month's gap, preempt Copernicus in finding Gauss and protecting him.

He raised his head, looking at the old man wearing an Einstein mask on the high platform: he said softly:

There were three options currently available.

2. According to the previous idea, inquire about space-time travel, whether there will still be Space-Time Killers coming to kill him.

He just listened silently to everyone's discussion. Suddenly, he reacted and looked at Newton:

After this gathering is over, he can truly focus all his energy on finding Gauss.

Therefore, asking was a waste of the question opportunity. He could only think of ways through other channels outside the meeting.

That would mean that Bao Shijin's plan had indeed failed completely, and the priority of the space-time machine blueprint would become less important. Even if the space-time butterfly effect after finding Gauss would cause the world line to jump, Bao Shi didn't care much. He had an absolutely large advantage.

Perhaps the masks chosen by other people were indeed carefully considered. First, eliminate the first one.

"Old buddy, are you going to explain this to everyone, or should I? "If the world line changes, where will I copy my space-time machine blueprints from? The question I just asked, Galileo and Copernicus probably really think that I'm curious about space-time travel.

He had to find Gauss and protect the brain nerve electrical stimulation helmet that could solve hibernation amnesia.

""According to the club's question rules, there are only two situations in which an answer will be refused:

One is when the question involves other club members; the other is when it involves the club itself."

But so what?

Copernicus forcefully accelerated the rhythm of everything.

Answers that are too far in the future have no meaning in the near term, and their priority is not high. It's better to ask again next month.

This naturally also meant that, at least before the world line changed, he would no longer encounter any Space-Time Killers.

The original plan was for Da Vinci to inquire about Jiasike's affairs, and for himself to ask Einstein's question.

"I feel like when everyone guesses the answer, why do they consider it so simply? Fine, I won't keep you in suspense, the truth is that I know the reason for refusing to answer."

But.

He had no interest in space-time travel at all. Wasn't it good to have a warm bed with his wife and children? Why bother running to other time periods for no reason?

No one expected that this would be the reason.

After Einstein finished explaining, Du Yao leaned back in his chair and spread his hands: "There will be no next time traveler coming to this era," he said softly.

Moreover, there was a very high probability that Einstein would give a time point several hundred years in the future, identifying a supercomputer genius whose grandfather hadn't even been born yet.

In addition.

Jiasike directly interrupted Gauss: There's one more thing, you must pay attention to.

To use the opportunity to ask Einstein here, to ask for Gauss's detailed information.

After weighing the options, Bao Shi decided not to ask here. "That would be interesting, who would collect Einstein's ashes? Judging from the age, it seems like only I would be suitable, right?" If Einstein answered, there would still be a Space-Time Killer, it would prove that Bao Shijin was not completely dead, or that there were still remnants, and that his entangled space-time particle would still be stolen.

1. According to the previously listed order, ask about the method to eliminate future viruses and revive the super artificial intelligence VV.

Too dangerous.

""But you clearly answered my question last time, saying that the first time travel in human history happened on December 11, 2234. Why do you now say that you can't see time travelers?""

""The reason is simpler than you think. When only Bao Shijin and I were in the club, we asked about Einstein, and the answer was also refused.""

"That is the most precious and irreplaceable treasure for human civilization!"

Because that would expose too many things.

It seemed that his head, as well as the entangled space-time particle, were temporarily safe.

Other club members were also very curious about this question, and they all turned to look at Einstein.

"Or perhaps, the location of scattering the ashes is very important? Or perhaps, Einstein's ashes were not scattered at all, but hidden somewhere? And that place is very likely to be the address or secret location of a member present."

Who could guarantee that the Gauss he saw was definitely the Gauss in Gao Wen's handwritten letter?

"You will never see them." Newton's brain was thinking quickly. "So I want to ask --" Newton fell into a dilemma.

"You said before that humans would not be able to successfully build a time machine before 2234. But time travelers can travel from the time after 2234 to our current era."

"Actually, you shouldn't ask that."

A 140-year-old zombie was indeed against common sense. If he could confirm that there would be no more Space-Time Killers in the future.

Einstein's answer, everyone could hear, and everyone would keep their information synchronized with him.

All the geniuses in the venue would have to wait until the 1st of next month at the earliest to learn Gauss's name.

On the high platform.

Galileo was the first to analyze:

The blueprints for the core part of the time machine have been copied inexplicably in the past eight months. The remaining parts, before the world line changes, copy as much as you can. It's still best not to ask rashly. Bao Shijin lowered his head and pondered:

He only had one month to find Gauss, and then bind him to his identity and future plans.

Newton didn't speak.

He turned his head to look at Einstein on the high platform of the steps:

Because my Rhein Cat, whose mask is out of place, was indeed chosen casually. As Da Vinci said. Newton shook his head.

""That's not something worth pondering. I will answer all questions about Einstein without hesitation.""

The slender Gauss sat up straight in his chair:

All questions about Einstein and the scientists on other members' masks would be refused.

In the end, if it really didn't work, he would break the net and launch the entangled space-time particle into space, so that no one could have it, preferring to be broken jade rather than a flawed tile. Because.

Here, everyone was astute. As soon as they heard him ask about the Space-Time Killer, they could immediately think of Einstein reporting his death date earlier, inexplicably implying that there would be a Space-Time Killer coming to kill him in the future.

This excuse was a bit far-fetched, wasn't it?

Newton narrowed his eyes, feeling something strange.

His original intention was to copy the blueprints of the time machine completely; or to confirm that Jiasike was completely dead and there was no need to consume the space-time particle before setting off to find Gauss.

But this question, he had the right to say others. Just that.

Previously, Newton had not been in a hurry to find Gauss, because he was afraid that after he protected Gauss, the world line would change.

Currently, he knew very little information about Gauss, only one sentence -- the name.

And.

Hehe."

But the truth was worlds apart.

Newton was sure that he had definitely seen the name Gauss somewhere. "Could it be that this Genius Club itself is related to the historical Einstein?"

Finally.

Now, Du Yao asked about Jiasike for Bao Shijin, and Bao Shijin asked about Einstein for himself.

He finally understood why Gauss always asked some questions that received negative answers.

"The club's charter states that membership is for life, which means that there is no possibility of inheritance. If Einstein was a member back then, then there must be a blank chair reserved for Einstein, just like Turing and Jiasike's chairs."

This was indeed science. That way.

So that's how it is.

In the current race against Copernicus. ""Refused to answer, the question opportunity is wasted.""

That would mean that if he asked Einstein, he would inevitably have to mention Bao Shi's name, or mention the keyword of the neuroscientific field.

No matter which date Einstein gave, it would mean that at least before that date, he would definitely not be attacked by a space-time assassin. Miss Galileo was the first to raise her hand again: So.

If there really were still Space-Time Killers, he could also take precautions in advance. But.

"Perhaps, the ash scattering location is crucial? Or perhaps, Einstein's ashes were not scattered at all, but hidden somewhere? And that place is very likely to be the address or secret location of a member present."

That also really made Newton breathe a sigh of relief.

If Einstein answered that there would never be any more Space-Time Killers, then everyone would be happy.

The keyword of neuroscience could not be mentioned either. He could only choose one of three.

How come it felt like the priority was equally high?

Newton took off his VR glasses in the early hours of the morning, looking at the noisy night outside the window:

Bao Shi's priority was much higher than the space-time machine. He couldn't take that risk.

Copernicus would never get the correct answer.
Newton was lost in thought:

He was still thinking about asking about the method to eliminate future viruses and revive super artificial intelligence VV, according to the previously listed order.

Too vague, too broad.

The old man wearing an Einstein mask looked around at everyone, his voice deep and full of majesty:

He still believed that the reason Einstein inexplicably refused to answer that question was definitely not that simple.

"Tomorrow, I'll go to the National Security Agency Director, Liu An."

Everyone started guessing a lot of ideas, but no one considered the angle that Einstein was still alive and the true identity of the president was Einstein. "Because each of you, including the masks you wear, is your code name, and also a part of your identity. Although the life experiences of these great men are recorded in history and books, there are still many unknown past events."

Using one answer opportunity in exchange for peace of mind, Newton thought it was still worth it. At the next gathering, Copernicus would 100% continue to ask about neuroscientists and the problem of solving hibernation amnesia side effects, and Einstein would definitely answer with Gauss's name.

It was too safe.

""But you clearly answered my question last time, saying that the first time travel in human history happened on December 11, 2234. Why do you now say that you can't see time travelers?""

""The reason is simpler than you think. When only Bao Shijin and I were in the club, we asked about Einstein, and the answer was also refused.""

"That is the most precious and irreplaceable treasure for human civilization!"

Since Einstein said that starting today, we would never see time travelers again.

Du Yao's sudden intervention really disrupted his and Bao Shijin's plans.

""It can't be that Einstein's ashes were scattered by someone present, right? Other than that, I can't think of any other situation that is related to club members.""

That also really made Newton breathe a sigh of relief.

If Einstein answered that there would never be any more Space-Time Killers, then everyone would be happy.

The keyword of neuroscience could not be mentioned either. He could only choose one of three.

How come it felt like the priority was equally high?

Newton took off his VR glasses in the early hours of the morning, looking at the noisy night outside the window:

Bao Shi's priority was much higher than the space-time machine. He couldn't take that risk.

Copernicus would never get the correct answer.
