Chapter 11 Disappearance of CC

There should be no clues near this statue, so Lin Xian plans to go outside the square to have a look.

Go down the steps leading to the statue...

"Hmm? It's a dead end?"

Lin Xian thought that he could walk from the statue platform to

But at the bottom of the steps, there is a very high electronic door, which separates the entire statue area from the square.

He then understood why there were pedestrians in other areas of the square, but there was no one near the statue, only a shabby robot picking up garbage.

Because of the existence of this tall electronic door, the high platform of this statue is actually a restricted area.

I broke in here from the sky, and normal tourists cannot enter.

Lin Xian checked this tall and large electronic door, but could not find any door opening mechanism, nor any password button. It seems that he can't get out from here.

But it doesn't matter, it won't bother him.

The trash can robot just fell from the edge of the platform, and he can just climb down the wall with his skilled parkour skills.

He ran back to the platform and found the place where the robot was thrown down. Lin Xian grabbed the edge of the platform and landed safely with a few jumps.

Boom.

After landing, Lin Xian looked at the parts of the trash can robot that fell off next to him.

He suddenly thought...

If you go back to the platform where the statue is located from here, you must pass through the tall electronic door.

I have just checked that the electronic door is closed.

Then... how did the trash can robot VV pass through just now?

"Is there a special passage? Designed specifically for a broken robot?"

Lin Xian couldn't figure it out for a while.

But now the robot named VV has been dismantled by himself. It's too late to say anything and there is no way to verify it.

Leaving the statue area, Lin Xian walked through the square to the main road.

It must be said that the people in the square are dressed strangely, with all kinds of styles, extremely absurd and free.

Observe carefully...

Lin Xian was surprised to find that the residents in the sky city seemed to be wearing not just clothes, but more like a fabric display with display function!

He didn't know how to describe this high-tech product...

Many children's clothes actually changed colors and shapes like a cartoon, like a magic transformation.

The clothes on adults are much more stable and generally do not change color easily, but it is not difficult to find that many people's clothes have dynamic patterns.

The patterns on them will swing, not like swinging with the wind, but swinging freely on the clothes like playing a video.

The water will have waves, the grass will sway, and on the clothes with cartoon characters, the cartoon characters will make faces and do actions...very magical.

So Lin Xian believes that the clothes they wear must not be ordinary fabrics, but should be some kind of high-tech that can make a certain material as light as fabric and display various images at will like a computer monitor, so as to achieve the purpose of easy changing of clothes.

"This is really convenient."

Lin Xian thought that if there is such technology in 2023, people basically don't have to worry about what clothes to wear every day and what suits to match.

Wearing this kind of high-tech clothes is like changing the skin of a character in a game. It is very likely that with a click of the phone, the clothes will become the color and pattern you want; you can even set it to a dynamic loop style like a screen saver, making a kaleidoscope of Sakura.

In the square, since everyone's clothing styles are different and change at any time, Lin Xian's simple short-sleeved trousers do not seem out of place, and his appearance did not attract much attention.

This is indeed a free city, a city with a wide tolerance.

After walking out of the square

, Lin Xian came to the real sky city.

Unlike the superficial prosperity of Xindonghai City... The prosperity of Rhine Sky City is the real technology changing life.

The sky is full of high-speed moving vehicles and robots, running in a complicated and orderly manner. Almost all high-rise buildings are showing different changing pictures. While the light pollution is very serious, there are many naked eye 3D effects that are completely flawless.

On the street, Lin Xian also saw the "garbage disposal robot" that truly fits the style of the sky city.

These robots are very large and fast. When they fly over the street, it is impossible to see how they work... The garbage on the ground is automatically sucked into the garbage bin.

I don't understand, I don't understand at all.

This is the real city of the future.

It's right not to understand.

Lin Xian's existence is already an ancient man 600 years ago for this city. Anything that can make him understand must be inconsistent with the development of the times.

So...

This is very contradictory.

Isn't the purpose of the Genius Club to suppress the development of human technology?

Lin Xian is very confused.

He has always believed so.

From the technology of the first dreamland standing still to the technology of the second dreamland being superficial, he has always believed that it is the invisible black hand of the Genius Club that is suppressing the development of human science.

But now, the technological level of this Rhine Sky City has obviously exploded to an incredible level, and there is no sign of being suppressed at all.

Controlled nuclear fusion has also been conquered, and all kinds of high-tech elements are available.

If the purpose of the Genius Club is not only to suppress the development of science and technology, but to use it as a cover to mislead others...then what is their real purpose? 】

"I'm getting more and more confused."

The only reason Lin Xian could think of was...

Could it be related to the cosmological constant 42?

Unfortunately, the big-faced cat's father in the third dream died of radiation sickness when the big-faced cat was a child and had no achievements in the field of mathematics. Lin Xian also missed this convenient route to figure out what 42 is.

After walking out of the square, Lin Xian saw the sign at the entrance of the square and realized that the square was called Rhine Memorial Square.

Honking, vehicles and flying are prohibited here.

It seems to be a very solemn and high-status place.

And since Zhao Yingjun can erect a statue in this place, her status in Rhine Sky City must be very high.

What about yourself?

Obviously he is the founder and president of Rheinland...

What happened in these 600 years?

If you want to find out these things

, it is most convenient to find a bookstore to check history... Of course, if history can be found in this world and history has not been artificially interrupted.

It's a pity that Lin Xian searched for a long time and even asked passers-by, but he couldn't find an open bookstore. Many passers-by showed puzzled expressions:

"Bookstore? Does anyone still read books now?"

In short, I didn't find it in the bookstore, but I found it in the drugstore.

When I asked after entering, I found that there were indeed medicines for treating radiation sickness, but the quantity was not large.

The clerk told Lin Xian that almost no one will get radiation sickness now. This immune antigen can be directly absorbed by the baby through maternal milk, and has even been added to milk powder.

The reason why a small amount of medicines are prepared is just to prevent special situations. Basically, these medicines will expire and no one will buy them.

By wandering around the streets, Lin Xian really felt that the people in Rhine Sky City lived a loose and free life.

Even the security aspect is very Buddhist, which is completely different from the strict patrols in Xindonghai City... At least an intruder like me has not received any suspicion, questioning, or unnecessary attention from anyone.

, has perfectly integrated into the environment.

"Excuse me, if I want to know more about the history of Rhine City, where should I go?"

Lin Xian saw that the female clerk in this pharmacy was very communicative and talkative, so he asked her this question.

The female clerk replied without thinking:

"Then go to the Rhine Museum. There is a lot of information there, and at the very back of the museum... there is also Ms. Zhao Yingjun's personal exhibition hall, which contains many precious historical relics."

When the name Zhao Yingjun was mentioned, the female clerk showed sincere respect on her face:

"It's a pity that the museum is closed now. You can go there during the day."

Zhao Yingjun’s personal exhibition hall?

very good.

New maps and new locations unlocked.

Lin Xian believed that if Zhao Yingjun really left him any important information, maybe it would be hidden in the museum's personal exhibition hall?

In short, it is necessary to go there and take a look.

As for the museum not being open at night...just find a way to sneak in then.

If you are not enough on your own, then call the big-faced cats and the others.

As long as I can accurately locate the gap in the air defense net next time, the big-faced cats will definitely be willing to come with me.

In fact, Lin Xian knew it now.

The truly terrifying part of the Rhine Sky City is the laser air defense network. As long as you enter, there will be no difficulty at all and there will be no obstruction.

After walking out of the drugstore, Lin Xian looked at his watch. It was already 00:40.

Today I spent all my time shopping and familiarizing myself with the environment, but as it was my first time to break into Sky City, I was still very rewarded.

"Come back tomorrow."

Lin Xian looked up at the sky while looking at his watch.

Even though technology has become so advanced...do humans still have no idea about the catastrophe at 00:42?

This really made Lin Xian doubt his previous guess.

What is that weird and destructive white light?

Is it the explosion of the earth itself?

Or an alien attack?

Or is it some kind of dimensional disaster that is completely incomprehensible to human civilization?

"There is another possibility."

Lin Xian suddenly remembered movies similar to "The Matrix."

is it possible……

This is not the real world, but a world that has been artificially simulated to be the same as the real future. It is so real that it is completely indistinguishable and conforms to all the laws of physics and the laws of development of things... And 00:42 is just the time when the server restarts?

Lin Xian shook his head.

"I think it's unlikely, but this issue is easy to verify. Just wait until 2023, when the real-life Thame Bank is established."

"At that time, I stored something in the safe of Thame Bank, and then I found Thame Bank again in the dream. I opened my safe and checked whether the contents inside were consistent... Then I could naturally judge whether the dream was the same. Really relevant to reality.”

Thinking of this, Lin Xian looked at his watch.

00:41:20

You still have time to ask!

He quickly returned to the drugstore and found the female clerk:

"Sorry, I have another question for you. Do you know where Thame Bank is in the city?"

"Tembank?"

The female clerk shook her head:

"I've never heard of it at all. Let me check it out for you."

After the female clerk finished speaking, she stood there without making any movement. Lin Xian didn't know what she was using to perform the query.

Brain chip? Or is it a visual computer integrated into the retina?

After about ten seconds, the female clerk shook her head again:

"I'm sorry, sir, but the existence of this bank cannot be found in any city in Rhine Sky City..."

does not exist?

Lin Xian was quite surprised.

Thame Bank does not exist?

What kind of unprecedented situation is this?

Lin Xian originally thought that... Taimu Bank and the safe with his name on it were as strong as the big-faced cat. No matter how the world of time and space changes, they will not disappear!

And this time.

What kind of time and space changes occurred? Just wipe out all the Thame Bank and safes?

What made Lin Xian most uneasy was...

What about CC?

In the past two dreams, she could meet CC. It was precisely because she always came to the East China Sea to look for the bearded man, the safe left by VV for her, to find the truth that belonged to her.

But now, both the Thame Bank and the safe are gone.

Doesn't that mean...

CC also disappeared? 】

"What exactly is going on?"

Lin Xian blinked.

In front of you.

It seemed like hundreds of butterflies flying with blue stardust were flying. Their flapping wings confused countless invisible air currents, making it complicated and unbearable.

It is like a string that is plucked strongly under the influence of external force.

finally……

There was a bang and it ended.

boom! ! ! ! !

boom! ! ! ! !

boom! ! ! ! !

The familiar and hot white light burst in, burning the sky and the earth to ashes.

…

…

…

In the corner of the bedroom, Lin Xian opened his eyes on the bed.

He frowned and stood up, looking

To the clock on the bedside table——

00:42

"Why...Tem Bank no longer exists?"

Lin Xian closed his eyes.

I can’t think of the anchor point that caused this change in time and space.

The space-time butterfly effect is a chaotic system, just like the law of space-time that I realized from the beginning:

Changes in time and space are uncontrollable.

It seems...

Even from the perspective of the laws of space and time, nothing will never change or disappear.

Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, which is still a question of magnitude and flexibility.

That's right.

"Space-time elasticity]."

Lin Xian recalled what Huang Que once said, and she reminded herself earnestly that the elasticity of space and time, a law of space and time, is crucial and contains the answers to almost all mysteries.

But I still can't understand the profound meaning of this sentence, nor can I understand the deeper meaning of this law.

He also wanted to understand what Huang Que said was crucial and what was so important.

"Isn't elasticity...a kind of toughness of time and space? Isn't it tolerance within a certain range of changes? What other meanings can it have?"

Lin Xian felt as if he was about to grasp some clue, but he was just one step away from grasping the key point.

"Hey, go to bed early."

Lin Xian decided not to stay up late.

He clicked on his phone to check his schedule and the ticket information sent by Liu Feng on WeChat:

"I have to pick up Liu Feng from the airport tomorrow morning."

"He said on WeChat that he has a new invention that he wants to show me..."

"What could it be?"
