Chapter 11 Closed Loop

Outside the county town, a very remote place.

A natural forest has formed in a depression here. There are many kinds of trees, accompanied by the early green flowers and plants of spring, which gives a feeling of paradise.

Lin Xian and Liu Feng stood beside a deep earth pit. In the pit was a wooden coffin, in which lay Li Qiqi, who was breathless but still had a vague smile on her face.

The funeral company Liu Feng hired provided a one-stop service.

With the help of machinery, whether it is digging, transportation, or burying the coffin, it has become simple and efficient.

It's as if under the wave of industrialization and the fast pace of life, even the death of an individual has become less and less important.

Truly gone with the wind.

The funeral company left after collecting the money, leaving only Liu Feng and Lin Xian standing beside the earth pit... There were also two shovels next to them for backfilling.

"This place was chosen by Qiqi last year..."

Liu Feng's eyes were a little red and swollen. He must have cried many times in places where no one could see him. After all, Li Qiqi was his only relative in this world.

But the human brain has a self-protection mechanism. When people are overly sad, they will always suddenly become calm and peaceful, just like Liu Feng now. His tone is very flat, without any extra ups and downs.

He was like a machine-readable narrator, as if he was popularizing science to Lin Xian next to him, and as if he was talking to himself:

"Longguo pays attention to what fallen leaves return to their roots... But Qiqi is an orphan who grew up in an orphanage. What roots can she have? Although my parents died early, there is actually a ancestral grave in my family, but Qiqi didn't marry me, so she can't be buried in my house."

"Qiqi has been in poor health since she was a child. No one wants to adopt an unhealthy child, so she has been growing up in the orphanage until she was admitted to university... She has no home, she has no home since she was a child."

"I thought you were married." Lin Xian behind him said lightly.

Liu Feng shook his head:

"I proposed to Qiqi several times, and we were even talking about marriage when we graduated... But since Qiqi was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, she rejected me, every time."

"She knew she didn't have much time left, and she didn't want to delay you." Lin Xian took a step forward and looked at the peaceful Li Qiqi in the coffin with Liu Feng.

"She did say that." Liu Feng lowered his head, and his messy hair covered his eyes:

"But I want her to have a home... Like this, there is no place to bury her after she dies."

"Qiqi told me a long time ago that she was afraid of cremation, so when she died, she would bury her secretly, and no one should be told, and no ceremony would be held, so I could just come and see her when I was free..."

"She also chose this piece of land in advance. After the doctor told her that she didn't have much time left last year, she looked for a place to bury herself after death, and finally chose this place."

...

Liu Feng spoke a lot of incoherent words.

Lin Xian didn't interrupt him, and let him talk to himself like this.

He knew that Liu Feng must be very uncomfortable at this time.

People who are uncomfortable always don't like to stop talking, either they eat and drink a lot, or they keep talking like this.

"My condolences."

Lin Xian waited for Liu Feng to finally fall silent, patted his shoulder, and comforted him:

"You must live well with Qiqi's regrets and wishes..."

This is what Lin Xian wanted to say to Liu Feng the most today.

This guy looks like he will commit suicide for love... Don't let it go!

He spent a huge sum of 30 million yuan to give the two of them a meteor shower, the purpose of which was to let Liu Feng see Li Qiqi's deep love for him and cheer him up again.

Lin Xian didn't expect Li Qiqi to die suddenly. This was indeed unexpected. He thought Li Qiqi could live for a while, and it was just right for him to persuade Liu Feng together.

Presumably... she has actually been holding on for a long time. Even according to the original history, she can't live much longer.

But things have come to this point.

Liu Feng can't die anyway.

If he dies because he can't get over it, not only will his 30 million be wasted, but Li Qiqi's wish will also be in vain. That would be truly regrettable and sad.

"Don't worry, I won't."

Liu Feng shook his head, raised his head again, and looked at Lin Xian:

"I know what you are worried about, but don't worry... I won't do such a stupid thing. I didn't think about dying with Qiqi before, but now, I have to live well, I can't let Qiqi down."

After that.

Liu Feng took out a book from his shoulder bag and handed it to Lin Xian.

"This is..."

Lin Xian was quite surprised to see the title of this book -

"Introduction to Cosmological Constants"

Author: Liu Feng

The cover is beautiful and the quality is also very good:

"Didn't you say that your book has not been published?"

"Qiqi asked Taobao's merchants to make it custom-made... This is not considered publishing, just like printing a photo album, there is only this one in the world."

Lin Xian took the heavy book.

The heavy thing is not the book itself, but the miracles and emotions carried in this unique print.

He opened the book cover and wrote Liu Feng's author introduction on the title page.

This passage...

Lin Xian is so familiar with it.

It was exactly the same as the "Introduction to the Cosmological Constant" he saw in his dream!

He quickly turned the book to the last page...

really.

In the last page of the book, there is a small white card with Juan's beautiful and somewhat blurry handwriting on it.

That little bit of blur... looks like tears dripping while writing, moistening the paper.

Lin Xian knew that this small card must be Li Qiqi's last words to Liu Feng. He had seen it 600 years in the future.

It's just that the card at that time was full of regrets about not seeing the meteor shower. Now that Li Qiqi has seen the meteor shower as she wished, the content on the card should change, right?

Lin Xian gave Liu Feng a tentative look for approval.

Liu Feng nodded, tacitly agreeing to let Lin Xian see the card.

Lin Xian took out the small piece of paper that was as big as the palm of his hand. The handwriting on it was beautiful and trembling... At this moment, it seemed that the time and space 600 years later and the current scene overlapped, allowing Lin Xian to truly understand what it meant to span 600 years. Miracle of love:

Dear Fengfeng:

Hee hee, so happy! I actually saw such a beautiful and spectacular meteor shower.

Of course I know this meteor shower is

Fake……

But to me, it's more real than real.

Fengfeng, I'm sorry that I can't accompany you anymore, but I look forward to the day when the cosmological constant is recognized by the whole world, and there will definitely be that day.

Thank you to the person who sent us this meteor shower.

Let's go with him Fengfeng, maybe... he is your shooting star, coming specifically for you to take you back to the shining starry sky.

Hey, I'll just watch you in the sky.

The distance between us will never be further.

——Qiqi, who loves you forever]

…

Lin Xian silently inserted the small card back into the book cover.

He admitted that when he saw experts 600 years later calling this book a miraculous love that spans 600 years... he was a little scornful at the time and felt a little baffled.

But now, after really getting in touch with Liu Feng and Li Qiqi, he somewhat understood and understood.

This is an indescribable emotion, a feeling that is difficult to express.

He handed back the "Introduction to the Cosmological Constant", the only one in the world, to Liu Feng.

Feng bent down, carefully threw the book into the coffin, and placed it next to Li Qiqi.

"Don't you want to leave a souvenir?" Lin Xian asked.

Liu Feng shook his head:

"Leave it to Qiqi."

boom.

The coffin lid was closed, and Liu Feng used a shovel to lift up the first handful of earth and sprinkle it on the brand new coffin lid.

This handful of earth separates yin and yang.

at the same time……

The historical closed loop has also been completed].

The emergence of this unique book allowed Lin Xian to understand the origin of the book "Introduction to the Cosmological Constant" 600 years later——

For some unknown reason, at some point 600 years later, the place where Li Qiqi was buried was discovered by archaeologists.

Due to the complex geographical conditions, the coffin seems to be relatively well preserved, and the only "Introduction to the Cosmological Constant" in the world has been rediscovered.

However, after verification by scientists 600 years later, this book is still worthless and full of errors, just as the academic community evaluated it 600 years ago.

In this case, the book was thrown out as garbage, picked up by young Li Cheng in the garbage factory, and delivered to the father of the big-faced cat.

Finally, after more than ten years of research, the big-faced cat’s father finally calculated the result of the cosmological constant——

42.

history……

Lin Xian inexplicably felt the weight and wonder of history.

How many coincidences does it take for this unique book from 600 years ago to be delivered to the big-faced cat’s father 600 years later?

Lin Xian picked up another shovel, and together with Liu Feng, shoveled all the surrounding soil back into the pit, and finally smoothed the soil surface.

After a few pats, dust returns to dust, soil returns to soil, the muddy soil will cover everything up, and if it rains again in a few days... there will be no trace of excavation at all.

At this moment, Liu Feng shed tears.

He understands.

Li Qiqi is really gone.

…

Click!

Liu Feng lit a cigarette with a lighter, took a deep breath in his mouth, spit it out, and watched the smoke dissipate.

"Would you like one?" Liu Feng handed the cigarette case to Lin Xian.

Lin Xian shook his head:

"Just smoke it."

The two sat on the stone and watched the sunset gradually setting on the other side of the horizon.

The blood-red fire clouds are arranged neatly, from east to west, like a matrix, with a unique kind of power and solemnity.

"Thank you for accompanying me today." Liu Feng held a cigarette between his fingers and looked directly at the sunset:

"I haven't smoked for a long time, and it's still so painful."

"It'll be fine after a while."

Lin Xian smiled and said:

"The smokers around me smoke just like eating candy."

Liu Feng couldn't help but laugh. He took a few puffs with a smile, threw the half-burned cigarette on the muddy ground, and stamped it out with the sole of his shoe:

"Lin Xian, you came to me for the cosmological constant, right?"

"Yes." Lin Xian admitted truthfully.

"Is this important to you? Can you tell me why?"

The setting sun hit Liu Feng's face blood red. He turned to look at Lin Xian and continued:

"Everyone thinks it is wrong. Teacher Qi Yan, Einstein, and even myself have done many verification experiments... They are all inconsistent and cannot be analyzed."

"It's supposed to be wrong, meaningless academic garbage... Why are you willing to do so much for it? And believe so much that it's right?"

"That's what I think about Liu Feng." Lin Xian looked directly at the sun that was halfway into the horizon:

"Actually, as you said, I really don't understand mathematics, and I don't even understand the cosmological constant. From your academic point of view... as long as something is wrong once, then it is undoubtedly wrong."

"But I think a lot of things in this world and in the universe are not like this.

absolute. I think a lot of things—"

"Even if it is wrong a thousand times, ten thousand times, or a hundred million times, as long as it is right once, then it is right!"

Liu Feng looked at Lin Xian blankly:

"for example?"

"A lot of things." Lin Xian looked at his fingers and said:

"For example, the birth of life on Earth and the synthesis of the first amino acid were all correct after countless complex reactions over billions of years. That's why life miraculously emerged on Earth."

"To be precise, the production of the first amino acid on earth should be an error in a chemical reaction." Liu Feng is very rigorous.

"Right and wrong are relative." Lin Xian said lightly:

"Whether it is right or wrong, in short, for such a miraculous and unexpected life to appear on the earth, it really only needs to be right once or wrong once."

"It only takes one time." Lin Xian looked at Liu Feng seriously:

"I think the cosmological constant should be something similar... Even if everyone says it is wrong, even if everyone thinks it is wrong for decades or hundreds of years, or even it itself is wrong, But I think it’s okay…”

"Because it may only need to be correct once at the most critical moment."

Liu Feng looked at Lin Xian with his mouth half open.

It seems that he has been convinced by Lin Xian's fallacy, but he seems not to know why:

"Lin Xian, if it's true as you said, the cosmological constant will only be correct once...then what's the use of being correct once?"

"It's hard to say."

Lin Xian looked at the setting sun that had completely submerged into the earth's surface.

Thinking back to billions of years ago, violent

The first amino acid was accidentally formed by that lightning strike on the primitive earth where rain, ocean tides and thunder were raging.

Recall the Ichthyostega that bravely climbed onto land from the ocean hundreds of millions of years ago.

Recalling the impact of the meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs, the small animals survived in the cracks of lava and haze.

I recall a certain ape looking up at the sky, straightening his back for the first time, and standing up on the earth of this planet.

Recall the rise of high-rise buildings, the steam engine, internal combustion engine, industrial revolution, and the electronic age.

Recalling the big-faced cat’s father’s room, the 42 crawled all over the walls and floors and filled every small gap.

Recalling the white light that destroyed the entire world 600 years later at 00:42 on August 29, 2624.

"Maybe your cosmological constant only needs to be correct once..."

Lin Xian closed his eyes and said softly:

"You can save the whole world."
