Cheng Cheng and the Cicada
Chapter 25 I'm Going to Start Lying
2234.
It was still this year!
Lin Xian narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but sigh. Originally, he still had some hope.
He was thinking if there was any way to obtain astatine-339 isotope ahead of time, and then use the time-space shuttle and consume the space-time particles in advance.
But now...
Einstein's words directly cut off all of Lin Xian's thoughts.
"Even if you exhaust all possibilities, the answer to this question will not change in any way." This sentence was so absolute.
As the president of the Genius Club, the old man wearing an Einstein mask was equally decisive.
I recalled the words Einstein had just said—
Einstein held out his hand, stopping everyone from chatting. Then, he looked at the man wearing a Galileo mask and said softly:
"I'm not asking questions, so there's no way to understand me. Newton wouldn't dare to imagine."
Einstein replied without hesitation:
I turned my head and looked at Einstein on the high platform:
"The bad news is that the virulence and transmissibility of almost all viruses will weaken over time and with repeated infections; the good news is that new viruses will inevitably emerge during the process of transmission and reproduction."
2234. The right hand possesses the information provided by Einstein of the Genius Club; the left hand possesses the time-space shuttle.
"He misunderstood me, old friend. I'm not asking you questions. I'm just worried that when you wake up after more than seven hundred years of hibernation, whether I can still see you, whether this decades-long gathering can continue." He would not answer any extra questions. What can be done?
Could it be that I am forced to enter the hibernation pod with Yao Weixing, and extend the battle between the two to 200 years, 400 years, or 600 years later?
Newton looked at Gauss. What made Newton even more curious was
Then, Einstein looked at Gauss, the thin woman:
"Once Da Vinci enters the underground hibernation base, especially the one he built himself... will he still be able to find me?"
Therefore, Gauss had to ask some questions whose answers were negative. "I will truly control the fate of mankind and the direction of time and space!" Cough, cough, cough..."
Think it over carefully.
Moreover...
Very likely, this was done on purpose. Human power is still too weak. The old man wearing an Einstein mask nodded:
Yao Weixing was about to enter the hibernation pod after this gathering. He also had other purposes.
"But I trust you. He is so mysterious and powerful that time is destined not to let him disappear."
Who could it be?
After all, my body has to hibernate anyway, so why not muddy the waters and let the geniuses begin to dabble in this field, paving the way for me, so that I can directly reap the benefits and steal the results after waking up.
Scanning counterclockwise from Copernicus on my left, my eyes finally rested on Gauss, who was directly opposite, and said with emotion, "If I really can't find him."
Gauss opposite couldn't help but applaud, interrupting the slow-talking Gauss:
I can’t let him hibernate! Newton opened his eyes.
"Since they are all intentional, then why be so coy? Let me ask the final answer for them."
Gauss spread his hands: Einstein replied:
In a sense, it is a more terrifying thing than the one-way space-time travel of ordinary space-time particles. "So that's how it is."
Copernicus asked the same abstract question. Then again...
I turned my head and looked at the masked old man on the high platform: raised my head.
Could it be…
"211 years, it's really too, too long." If Da Vinci was telling the truth...
He coughed twice, cleared his throat, and continued:
"He always seems to be so old, but he never gets old again. I even doubted several times that after entering the Internet era, you canceled online gatherings and switched to offline gatherings—"
"From the initial BBS, to later video conferences, to the current VR conferences..."
"We haven't seen each other for decades, so... is he not hiding something?"
"Space-time particles that have lost energy will indeed become invisible and undetectable. But if he can find a way to make them lose their activity again, then they will reappear and become visible, and also detectable."
"By what method can the existence of space-time cracks be accurately found?"
It was like, he clearly knew the answer, but he deliberately said it, drawing the attention of others in that direction.
What can I do?
But the current Yao Wei couldn't care so much.
It seemed that Yao Weixing's little sister had also heard Da Vinci's muddying of the waters, and Copernicus's deliberate guidance. What other purpose did he have? Yao Wei felt a little melancholy. This was indeed a dead end. The brain quickly thought.
5. Gauss and Yao Weixing's way of asking questions taught Newton some routines for misleading others. Now it was time for him to use them.
"Of course I can, my dear Gauss, I will help him pass on the message. But first, he
Must first tell me who he is? Otherwise, where am I going to find him?"
In any case, with human abilities, there was no way to complete the time-space travel before that date.
Yao Weixing also expected this, shook his head and smiled:
Einstein looked at Copernicus again:
Then how would my revenge plan be carried out? Now, I'm going to start lying!
"If he really has any questions to ask me, then he can only ask them at the next gathering. However, as the most veteran member of the club, I shouldn't need to remind him again, right? If the question asked and the answer involve members of the Genius Club or the Genius Club itself, then it will be rejected and the question opportunity will be forfeited." There was no plan to sleep in the hibernation pod in Newton's life plan. In the face of the scale of the universe. Newton started brainstorming.
"Guys, after this gathering, I'm going to sleep in the hibernation pod. This will be a long sleep, a sleep that lasts 211 years. I will wake up again in 2234 to witness the first time-space travel in human history."
Not to mention letting a comet advance a few decades, it was impossible to advance even a second.
"There is no way." He still smiled so calmly.
"My old friend, Einstein, ever since I joined the Genius Club in the 1910s, he has been like this, in this state, and has never changed." He must find a way to stop me! Think it over carefully.
But…
No one knew Einstein's true identity, and no one knew why he could see the future.
So what state is he really in? Sure enough…
It seems…
The time when that comet arrives on Earth is already fixed. Yao Wei clarified this core idea.
Otherwise, if you ask the same question, and Einstein corrects it first, and then answers it, it is equivalent to letting the questioner get an extra question for free. Geniuses will not allow this kind of bug to exist.
He could see everything in the future, and he said that.
Xu Yun's revenge, Tang Xin's revenge, the promise to Angelica, and those pretty words said to Zhao Yingqun, are they just going to be forgotten? I sat up straight.
You previously asked that question." What everyone was even more curious about was, "Hehe, interesting."
"Why is everything in your club based on Long Country time?" It's better to say...
"Little Sister Galileo, it's his turn to ask."
"Naturally, it also includes the virus he asked about. There is no virus that can never be conquered, and there will always be new viruses appearing. Viruses, like humans, are constantly evolving and mutating."
As Yao Wei guessed. "I won't answer any subsequent questions from him, and I won't correct any inaccuracies in his words."
It was like…
Having said that, he looked at Gauss again, looking at Galileo, and looking back at everyone in this circle: 1. Da Vinci has already asked a question at this gathering. If he wants to further confirm the truth of a certain fact, he will have to wait until the next meeting a month later, on September 1. This was an obvious rule. "Einstein." There were also no return tickets.
"Amazing, Little Sister Galileo. He’s directly..." "The key lies in activity."
"Asking questions back and forth, their purpose is to travel through time and space, right? Do you want to go to the past? Or do you want to go to the future?" I can't bear to.
"If the space-time particles lose energy and become invisible due to excessive contact during the process of capturing space-time particles, is there any way to recapture the signal through a detector?"
3. Jask and Angelica should have successfully fooled Da Vinci, and they can completely cooperate from the outside and inside. "Of course, that question involves the Genius Club itself, and he certainly won't answer it, so just treat it as me complaining and reminiscing about the past."
Hearing this answer, Yao Weixing was not surprised at all. Immediately afterwards, Einstein looked at Galileo: Gauss was obviously prepared and blurted out: Those revenges and promises were secondary.
"Is he still the same Einstein as at the beginning? Or has he already died, and now someone has replaced him, or has he, like Turing, become an immortal digital life?"
The middle-aged woman wearing a Copernicus mask raised her head and said immediately:
"Space-time cracks are not a visible phenomenon. They do exist, but they only exist in super-dimensional space. Therefore, there is no way to detect, observe, or find them."
What am I expecting? It was also a familiar world seven hundred years ago. In 2234, I would wake up again in the world. There would be no one to stop me, Newton would have died, and the time-space shuttle would belong to me. Wouldn't this mean that my future closed loop could reappear?
"Hey, what's wrong today? The questions they ask one by one are all related to time-space travel. How do I feel like they are doing it on purpose?"
Copernicus snorted softly:
My virtual image is still an old man.
I have parents, relatives, friends, and heroes, and a little Yu Xi that I am expecting.
Newton closed his eyes. What question will he ask? Where will he go?
That...
The questions asked by the previous few people completely blocked the possibility of delayed time-space travel. "I only hope that if any genius successfully travels back to the past in the future, please tell the young me that he must not be soft-hearted and let Yao Weixing, that bastard, go. Just tell him to shoot me after the online gathering of the Genius Club." The old man, who was as still as a bell, said in a tone that did not fluctuate at all:
To keep Yao Weixing in 2024, he must offer a tempting enough bargaining chip.
"Hehehehehe…"
Who will be the first time-space traveler in human history? "Gauss, what is his question this time?" Einstein stated his attitude. "His observatory observed that a half-month ago, an unusual space-time particle would skip the Earth's atmosphere, but it would be extremely difficult to capture."
How long can I last at this old age? How long can I live? "In short, let's say goodbye first, everyone. If we can see each other again, then we will meet in the future 211 years from now!"
The young woman wearing a Gauss mask shook her head:
4. I know what Da Vinci wants most, and that thing…
Is already in my hands.
"In the future that he can see, what is the specific day, minute, and second when humans first travel through time and space?"
Then, would I just watch that "Little Demon King" wake up again seven hundred years later, and then I would already be buried in a coffin and turned to ashes? Newton smiled slightly and nodded:
Then, within that month of blank time, Yao Weixing had no way to verify the truth.
After Yao Weixing finished speaking, Einstein on the high-backed chair turned to look at Yao Wei:
While thinking about the answers Einstein had just given.
Yao Wei silently watched the geniuses scheming against each other and calculating each other. Moreover, I think this question is not worth asking Einstein at all. Any medical expert or virologist can get the same answer.
There was no fool among those who could enter the Genius Club.
Especially Da Vinci, Gauss, Copernicus, and Galileo, the seven of them had already met the old man wearing an Einstein mask in online meetings in the last century. "Hehe..."
The biggest crisis I am facing now is... "I like this style of his, Little Sister Galileo. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't ask more carefully, I would really like to hear who the time-space travel was caused by."
Am I really going to hand over the time-space shuttle and let Da Vinci live freely hundreds of years ago and do whatever he wants?
Yao Weixing was about to enter the hibernation pod after asking when the time-space shuttle could be used the earliest.
Copernicus asked a question that was indeed related to time-space travel.
"I'm not asking so many unnecessary things, and I'm not setting any conditions. I just want to know
One thing—"
Da Vinci chuckled twice:
Am I really going to abandon all of this and go to an unfamiliar future seven hundred years ago? Newton listened to everyone chatting.
Little Sister Galileo's question did reveal the veil of the first time-space travel in human history.
Yu Xi's revenge, is it just going to be forgotten?
Possible!
"Caution and rigor are indeed very good, but perhaps the answer will disappoint him. Humans are very limited in the face of time and space. Therefore, there is no way to take any other methods to travel through time and space. Using a time-space shuttle is the only way."
Einstein's gaze turned to Newton's face, to the funny Rhine Cat mask: "Thank you for the answer, I will pay attention to it."
"The last genius, Rhine, what is his question?" Little Sister Galileo finished speaking.
Even if it was specific to a few minutes and seconds, the time was still December 11, 2234. "Never possible."
Was there really no way at all?
But…
"Gauss, it's his turn." But obviously...
What should I do?
When I wake up again, the world will have changed, and I will most likely no longer be in this world.
I want to use Einstein to deceive Yao Weixing! Suddenly…
A world without everything, where even death will not be mourned, and the ashes can only be scattered in the sky and drift away with the wind.
Everyone was looking forward to Einstein's answer.
That thin woman got another negative answer. Time…
Finally…
Yao Wei thought of an excellent plan! He also didn't get an answer.
"But they all know that this will not be achieved in a short period of time. I am very curious. Do they both already know some unavailable information and are deliberately pretending to be awake here?"
In fact, I don't have any questions to ask. Da Vinci and Little Sister Yao Weixing have already asked all the questions for me.
"It's really a distant date, much more distant than I imagined. Then let me say goodbye to everyone today, at this gathering, and to all the geniuses." 2. Einstein will only answer questions and will not correct or elaborate. This allows him to write articles between the subject and the final question to form a guide. Newton can even answer that question for Gauss. My heart could not help but feel a sense of loneliness and emptiness.
"But he was rejected by Einstein, including the time of our meeting and all the times described by Einstein are expressed in Long Country time. I don't know what this means, but it is clear that this question involves the Genius Club itself." Spread his hands.
Da Vinci's body couldn't hold on any longer. He would inevitably have to hibernate seven hundred years ago to treat his body and continue his life, and to use the time-space shuttle. Just as Zhao Yingqun said at the beginning:
"Long Country time, December 11, 2234, 21:47:21." However…
Within the Genius Club, the Genius Club itself must not be discussed. You spread his hands:
Perhaps I have always felt that Da Vinci and Copernicus were misleading people, attracting everyone's attention to 2234, and then taking the opportunity to conduct time-space travel and carry out a diversion plan.
"Because when I asked that question, there were only two members in the entire club, Da Vinci and me. Neither of us were from Long Country, and President Einstein was not from Long Country, so I guessed that it was most likely related to the members of the Genius Club, but involved the secrets of the Genius Club itself."
Newton pursed his lips.
Little Sister Galileo looked right at Copernicus, then at Da Vinci, and smiled:
I also have no relatives or friends and live a lonely life.
Yao Wei vaguely understood that Little Sister Galileo's future plan had nothing to do with time-space travel, so he probably planned to lift the table.
All I need is an unavailable date.
Hibernation...
Da Vinci was a troublemaker. He cleverly asked about the earliest invention time of the time-space shuttle, and then was single-minded and concentrated on hibernating and heading to that era.
"His question is—"
In other words, even if you lie and say an accurate conclusion when asking a question, Einstein will not correct it. Future in the right hand, past in the left hand. Yao Wei said calmly:
Admittedly, as Gauguin said in the Eighth Dream, the greatest ability of human beings is to scratch the Earth, and they cannot even get out of the solar system. How can they control the trajectory and arrival time of a comet in outer space?
Little Sister Galileo chuckled and crossed her legs:
It was really a leak-proof person. "Then what about them? My colleagues, even if everyone doesn't like him, but if he wakes up seven hundred years later and finds that they are all gone, and only he and Einstein are left in the huge golden hall, he will feel very regretful." Now, I have seven advantages:
"He is really a master, then let me be the fool. Don't hide it, Einstein, his question is..."
Newton came to life. I have no questions to ask.
"As far as space-time particles are concerned, activity and energy are two different concepts, and they exist independently and do not interfere with each other."
"The human physical body has natural defects, and the evolution and mutation of humans have not stopped yet. Nothing is immutable, including humans themselves; as long as there are changes, there will always be new challenges and new defects. This is the law of nature, and humans can never avoid it."
"His question is, in what era can humans completely improve their physical resistance, so that they will not get sick, will not be infected with viruses, and even can cure all diseases and be immune to all viruses."
To be honest…
It seems that now that Da Vinci has brought this topic to the table, there is no need to hide it.
At most, I would live for another 140 years and die. When Da Vinci wakes up in the future, I would have long been gone from this world.
"Yao Weixing, it's his turn." On the high platform…
Da Vinci's question also made the other members very curious.
Even if the astronomical development is super doubled and the observation distance has a qualitative leap, this may allow us to observe the comet a few decades in advance, but in any case, it cannot change the established fact that it will not arrive on Earth until December 11, 2234.
That would be great!
Once Da Vinci enters the hibernation pod, I will be too passive, which is equivalent to losing this battle directly.
The thin Gauss straightened her body and stood in awe:
"Da Vinci, his question session is over, and he has already gotten his answer. According to the regulations, before that, he can only chat, express his opinions, and even raise questions about him." "Then, I will now answer his question. In the correct time when humans first travel through time and space in his future is—" At that time, I would already be an old man.
"But other than his first question, in this gathering, I will not answer any subsequent questions from him, and I will not correct any inaccuracies in his words."
