Chapter 17 The Drama Begins

Tunghai University, Rhine Joint Laboratory, second floor corridor.

Lin Xian just hung up Zhao Yingjun's inquiry call and walked into Liu Feng's laboratory.

Liu Feng looked up.

Seeing that it was Lin Xian, he asked casually:

"Who are you talking to?"

"With the boss of the previous company."

Lin Xian put away his phone and answered casually:

"Zhao Yingjun."

Liu Feng heard the name.

He began to compare in the arithmetic sequence in his mind.

Zhao Yingjun

Female president

It seems that there is no place for this person.

"I don't think I have seen this person."

Liu Feng shook his head:

"Or to be more precise, this woman has never been to this laboratory."

Hehe.

Lin Xian couldn't help laughing:

"You are a typical person who is stupid in studying mathematics. Does every woman I know have to appear in the laboratory once?"

"According to your theory, to complete your so-called arithmetic sequence, there should be a teenage girl who appears, but it has been so long, have you seen her?"

Liu Feng pondered for a while.

Nodding:

"But mathematics is so rigorous, and arithmetic progression is absolute."

"Is this a math problem?" Lin Xian complained:

"The problem is, other age groups are fine, where can I find a teenage girl to bring to you? Don't you think about whether it is realistic or not?"

"In fact, this is a very dangerous topic. Don't dream of completing your arithmetic progression. Your arithmetic progression has ended here, it is complete, and there will be no more teenage girls in the experiment."

Dinglingling dinglingling dinglingling dinglingling!

The sudden ringing of the mobile phone interrupted Lin Xian's speech.

Why is he so busy now?

He took out his mobile phone and saw the caller ID. It was Zhao Yingjun who called.

Is there something he didn't finish talking about just now?

Lin Xian directly pressed the answer button and put it to his ear:

"Hello, Mr. Zhao?"

"Sorry, Lin Xian, I called you right after I hung up."

Zhao Yingjun on the other end of the phone smiled embarrassedly and got to the point directly:

"My father mentioned it again just now, saying that he was going to have dinner with you. You should still remember it, right? My parents have always been grateful for the fact that you saved me at the beginning of last year, and they want to have dinner with you to express their gratitude in person."

"You were delayed by something a few days ago. Are you free tonight? If so, let's meet."

After hearing this, Lin Xian also reacted.

Oh

This matter.

He has experienced so much in the past few days, from being hunted by the time-space assassin, to the reversal of the real and fake Yu Xi, to the sudden appearance of the fifth dream

He was so busy that he was overwhelmed and forgot all the other trivial things in his life.

At the beginning, he turned down the invitation of Zhao Yingjun's parents in order to meet Jask. He was quite embarrassed that day. His parents came all the way from the imperial capital to thank him, but he didn't go because of something.

It's nothing to turn down an invitation.

However, repeatedly shirking the responsibility is a bit disrespectful to the parents, especially to Zhao Yingjun, and also makes him look ignorant.

Anyway, this meal will be eaten sooner or later.

Lin Xian thought about it and there was really no special arrangement for tonight.

According to his original plan.

He must sleep at noon and sleep until the early morning, and then go to the Face Village in the dream according to the original script, open Gawain's safe, and study the notebook left by Gawain carefully.

Then let's postpone the dream for one day.

Anyway, it will take more than ten days or half a month to copy the notebook that contains the theoretical principles of time and space shuttle and the concept of time and space shuttle construction back to the real world.

One day later is one day later, no harm.

"Okay."

He agreed directly on the phone:

"I really don't have anything to do tonight. If your parents are also free, then let's make an appointment tonight. How about I book the hotel? It can be regarded as a welcome to the two elders who have come from afar, and a welcome to them."

"Haha, how can that be possible?" Zhao Yingjun chuckled:

"I will book the hotel. You are the protagonist and the guest today. There is no reason for me to let you book the hotel. After I book the hotel, I will send you the address and room number, and also send a copy to the driver Xiao Li. Just ask him to take you directly to the hotel in the evening."

"It's just that I'm embarrassed about something."

Zhao Yingjun glanced at Yan Qiaoqiao, who was shaking her legs on the sofa and looking at her with her grandfather Zhao Ruihai.

After hesitating for several times, he finally said it:

"If you don't mind, my parents will probably bring a teenager over to dinner tonight. It's my mother's child from her hometown, and my parents have been taking care of it during this period."

"It's okay, just bring it together."

Lin Xian smiled indifferently:

"Brother Wang also told me before that your parents brought a child from their hometown, and you also asked him about the parent-child restaurant."

"Since your parents are coming to dinner tonight, and there's no one at home to take care of the child, just bring it over to dinner. There's definitely no problem here, isn't it better to have more people and more fun?"

Zhao Yingjun recalled Yan Qiaoqiao's noise and lack of education.

I couldn't help but have a headache.

Sighed lightly:

"It's good that you don't mind. You may not understand that these teenage girls are really noisy and troublesome now."

"It's okay, it's really okay."

Lin Xian recalled the teenage girl who tore his car door with her hands and poked the Alpha commercial vehicle into a hornet's nest, and said leisurely:

"I have seen too many teenage girls who are rebellious and struggling. I am very tolerant now. As long as they are not the kind of little girls who tear car doors apart and ride motorcycles to smash them from the sky, they are all in my eyes. He is both quiet and well-behaved.”

Lin Xian told the truth.

The two "terminators", the real and fake Yu Xi, directly raised the limit of Lin Xian's tolerance for rebellious girls. He didn't think there were little girls in the real world who were more difficult to deal with than the real and fake Yu Xi.

These two Yuxi.

One is Mission: Impossible and Infernal Affairs, who claims to be doing his own good, but actually deceives everyone including Jask, and almost gets his wish by killing two Half-Genius Club members;

The other was a cold-faced killer with an expressionless face, and his methods were extremely ruthless. He beheaded the fake Yu Xi in front of him, and even escorted himself into a hibernation cabin for forced hibernation and sent him to the future for trial.

In contrast.

How noisy can the little girl Zhao Yingjun brought from her hometown be?

Compared with the real and fake Yu Xi.

Every little girl is an angel.

Over there on the phone.

Zhao Yingjun was also amused by Lin Xian's words:

"Of course not. Except in movies and animations, there are no such violent little girls. Just don't hate children, because many people around me, including me, are quite impatient with children and are always easily irritable and angry. High blood pressure.”

"Then there's nothing else to do, Lin Xian. We'll see you in the evening."

Say it.

Zhao Yingjun hung up the phone.

She was always so resolute and decisive every time she hung up the phone.

Lin Xian also put down his cell phone.

He looked up and saw Liu Feng's proud smile.

"what?"

Lin Xian couldn't understand what Liu Feng was so proud of.

"Hmph"

Liu Feng chuckled:

"I thought I heard you talking about teenage girls."

"That's a relative of Zhao Yingjun's family."

Lin Xian said:

"She's not a relative of mine, and I don't know her. Do you still expect her to come to the laboratory to find me? In your eyes, I may be very attractive, but I don't think I can make such a young girl like me. Even more, I hope this doesn’t happen.”

"I can't tell which one I like."

Liu Feng spread his hands:

"There are many kinds of likes, and it doesn't have to be love."

"Admiration, admiration, and respect are all very normal emotions. In short, the appearance of a gun means that the gun will always fire."

"Lin Xian, I'm looking forward to when that teenage girl will come to the laboratory. By then, my arithmetic sequence will be truly complete."

Lin Xian disagreed:

"Then just wait, you will win if you wait."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, I'm here to talk to you about business."

He stood up, walked to the experimental table in the middle, picked up the rectangular time and space clock, and looked at the readings on it

0.0000042

Sure enough, nothing changed.

After getting up this morning, Lin Xian guessed this outcome. After all, Liu Feng cares about the time and space clock every day. The first thing he does when he gets up is to observe the value on it.

Until he arrived at Tunghai University by car, he didn't receive a call from Liu Feng. That means that the value on the time and space clock has not changed for some unknown reason.

Lin Xian pointed to 0.0000042 on the night scene dial and asked Liu Feng:

"Why doesn't the value above change?"

"Because the curvature of space-time has not changed."

Liu Feng said calmly:

"I have already told you that the space-time clock itself is a device for detecting changes in the curvature of space-time. The curvature of space-time will only change when the space-time butterfly effect occurs, future space-time changes, and the world line shifts."

"So, only in this case will the values ​​displayed by the time and space clock change simultaneously, digitally reflecting the magnitude of the change in time and space and the extent of the world line transition."

"Since there is no change now, it naturally means that the space-time butterfly effect has not occurred, and there will be no change in future space-time. We are still on the world line with a curvature of 0.0000042, without any deviation."

Lin Xian waved his hand:

"No, no."

He recalled the scene in his dream yesterday when he dug out safe No. 1277.

He saw it clearly at that time.

The font used to engrave the name on the nameplate has indeed changed.

From a sharp font similar to Song Dynasty to Weiruanya Black.

Although this change in time and space is small.

But changes do happen!

Then the curvature of space should have changed more or less, right?

Even just a little bit

Even if it just changes from 0.0000042 to 0.0000043, that is reasonable.

It's impossible to say.

Space-time changes have obviously occurred, and the details of the future world have also changed, but the curvature of space-time has not changed at all, right?

This is very unreasonable from a logical point of view.

"Liu Feng, does your time and space clock have accuracy problems?"

Lin Xian raised his own question and pointed to the last number on the dial:

"This space-time clock can only detect 7 digits after the decimal point. So what if the amplitude of the change in the curvature of space-time is very small, very, very small, and your crude space-time clock cannot detect it?"

"That won't happen."

Liu Feng came over and pointed at the LCD dial:

"When I made the time and space clock, I used a full LCD dial. That is to say, although it seems to you now, it can only display eight digits. But in fact, if necessary, it can display more than ten digits or dozens of digits. digits, hundreds of digits.”

"Because this is a complete LCD screen. If you want, you can even watch movies and play games by connecting to the host. So do you understand, Lin Xian? The situation you are worried about will not happen."

"I dare to guarantee you that whenever there is a change in space-time or a change in the curvature of space-time, no matter how small or minute it is, my time-space clock will be able to detect it, and then it will definitely be displayed in proportion."

"Even if the change range is only 0.00000000001, the reading on the dial will become 0.00000042001. This is not a big problem. I have already considered this situation when I designed this time and space clock."

"Including the one at the front."

Liu Feng moved his index finger forward and pointed at the only 0 on the far left of the time and space clock before the decimal point, and continued:

"Only one digit is displayed before the decimal point. What if the change in time and space is very large, directly breaking through the sky, reaching hundreds of thousands or millions? Will my time and space clock just crash? That's definitely not the case. I How could you make such a stupid mistake?”

I see.

Lin Xian understood.

The number of digits displayed on the time and space clock can be automatically adjusted according to the value, so there are no concerns about accuracy.

That's even more problematic.

"That's it, Liu Feng."

Lin Xian explained:

"Don't doubt what I say next. Just believe what I say is true, and then reason and analyze based on this premise."

"First of all, I am very sure that the space-time butterfly effect and space-time changes did occur. And it happened just after the last space-time clock reading became 0.0000042. So theoretically, the curvature of space-time will definitely change, but you The time and space clock has indeed not been detected.”

"Secondly, the magnitude of the change in time and space this time is very small. It has almost no impact on the future development direction and the trajectory of the world line. Of course, I only said it is close. I can't estimate how big it actually is, but it must be there. Yes, there must be, but the change is relatively small.”

"So, let's reason about it."

"Why does space-time change obviously occur, but the curvature of space-time does not change, and the world line does not jump or deviate?"

Lin Xian's question also triggered Liu Feng's thinking.

He did not doubt what Lin Xian said.

Because the other party has absolutely no need to lie or make up stories to deceive himself.

then.

Liu Feng accepted the fact that "small time and space changes do occur" and began to think on this basis.

for a while

There was silence in the huge laboratory.

Both men were deep in thought.

The only things that can be heard are the chirping of birds on the big trees outside the window and the ringing of the end of get out of class bell from the teaching building in the distance.

Lin Xian closed his eyes.

Start thinking about the clues you missed.

The existence of something like this is reasonable, which means that it must comply with the laws of space and time.

The laws of space and time.

Lin Xian began to run through the rules he had understood in his mind one by one.

Space-time butterfly effect, space-time change, changing anchor point, space-time elasticity, space-time

"Wait a moment."

Lin Xian opened his eyes suddenly.

I recall my summary of the law of space-time elasticity when I first understood the law of space-time two years ago.

Space-time elasticity: Space-time itself has a certain degree of elasticity. Not every space-time butterfly effect will cause space-time changes. Changes need to accumulate to a certain degree, or changes in reality that are strong enough can break through the elasticity of time and space, trigger changes in time and space, and have an impact on the future world.

Now let’s see.

This rule is not a complete summary!

He thought of a new way of understanding

Just like.

There is a spring in front of you.

If you use very light force to make a small change, it will eventually recover.

When the force on the hand is removed, the spring will return to its original state. This is called elasticity!

So, how to understand this elasticity in terms of space and time?

Lin Xian tried to summarize.

Perhaps, just as a small butterfly effect cannot cause visible changes in space and time; a small change in space and time, like lightly touching a spring, is not enough to cause qualitative deformation. At the same time, it also allows the spring to still have the possibility of recovery and repair.

So.

How can we make the spring undergo irreversible and irreversible changes?

Everyone knows the answer.

Power works wonders!

As long as you use enough force to pull the spring, twist the spring, or break the spring, you can completely lose the elasticity of the spring and never return to its original shape.

Perhaps, this is the real explanation for the irrecoverable anchor point.

Same reason.

The same goes for space-time elasticity

Only sufficiently large changes in space and time can truly break through the elasticity of space and time, causing irreparable and irreversible changes in the future world; furthermore, the curvature of space and time can change, and the world line of space and time can shift and jump.

"I see"

Lin Xian suddenly had an epiphany and was enlightened.

"I see."

Lin Xian raised his head and looked at Liu Feng:

"I understand, Liu Feng, this is the real elasticity of time and space!"

He stood up and walked around the laboratory:

"Small changes in space and time have the possibility of repair and recovery, so they cannot directly cause changes in the curvature of space and time. To put it simply, time and space and history are both elastic springs."

"If the force used to move it is relatively small, it will always return to its original state at some point. We don't know this principle for the time being. Perhaps time, space and history themselves have a certain degree of restorability, just like the sea can restore itself. Just like purification, perhaps space and time itself also has certain self-healing and self-correcting functions.”

"But now we don't consider these. We understand it simply. Now I completely want to understand the value of the time and space clock. When will it change?"

"Only when the elasticity of space and time is broken through, the changes in space and time accumulate to a certain value, completely subverting the future world, and causing the world line to shift and jump, will the value of the time and space clock change!"

"And the amplitude of each change may be the tolerance limit of space-time elasticity! At the same time, it is also the dividing point of various space-time coordinates!"

Liu Feng listened to Lin Xian's guess with a serious look on his face and thought rapidly in his mind.

This is a very bold theory.

Is it really as Lin Xian said?

After the curvature of space-time is digitized, can the limits and boundaries of space-time elasticity also be digitized?

This may not be impossible!

He has long believed that the concept of space-time elasticity is very important and profound, and there are many places that can be explored and understood more deeply.

If space-time itself is compared to a spring.

Lin Xian's hypothesis is completely reasonable and theoretically self-consistent!

"but"

Liu Feng scratched his head:

"Now your theory is just a conjecture. If we really want to verify it, we must wait for the next change in the value of the space-time clock before we can draw further conclusions."

“If the next value change is indeed regular, and the magnitude of the change is the same as the first magnitude, or increases exponentially, it will prove that your reasoning is correct.”

Lin Xian nodded:

"That's right."

"Looking at it now, when the next time the curvature of space-time changes, we can really get a lot of intelligence and knowledge."

"Not only can you grasp the changing rules of space-time coordinates, but you can also understand the limits and tolerance of space-time elasticity. You can even crack some of the basic theories of world lines."

"No wonder, Huang Que said from the beginning that the space-time law of space-time elasticity is very important. I really didn't expect that two years later, I can still learn knowledge points from this space-time law."

He circled back again, walked around to the experimental table in the middle of the laboratory, and patted the white, square and unremarkable time and space clock:

"Then now we can only wait for the value of the time and space clock to change again."

"But when will it change?"

Liu Feng tilted his head:

"This change is completely uncontrollable. We can only try our luck."

"No."

Lin Xian shook his head.

He thought of Gawain's safe and Gawain's suicide note, the invention that could subvert the world again.

Time shuttle.

If that technological crystallization, which is far ahead of its time, is copied back to the real world, it will definitely trigger a huge change in time and space again, and use a crazy tornado to sweep, destroy, and reconstruct the future world.

The fifth dream will inevitably become the sixth dream.

By then, the values ​​on the space-time clock will inevitably change for the second time.

Of course Lin Xian would not listen to Gao Wen and publish the theory and structure of the space-time shuttle to the whole world.

This in itself is not a product of the current era.

It is enough to hold it in your hand.

I don’t know when this thing can be actually built. Anyway, it is for my own safety and the stability of the current time and space.

Lin Xian will not let others get the time shuttle before him.

The world's first time machine and time shuttle must be in your own hands!

So.

The first premise is.

Your own laboratory must be able to develop and build such advanced technological products.

"Liu Feng, go back and study space-time particles more."

Lin Xian pointed to the small refrigerator gifted by Jask on the experimental table in the corner:

"The possibility of time travel and time shuttle depends on space-time particles. The next step in my future plan is to build a time shuttle. For the sake of confidentiality, it must be completed in this kind of private laboratory. "

"I know that you are short of manpower now. I will try to find a way to see if I can find more assistants for you. But at present, you are the person I trust most and my most assured partner, so if possible , I still hope that the future space shuttle project can be led and led by you. "

"Nowadays, there are only a handful of people in the world who know more about space-time particles than you. In this regard, you undoubtedly have an advantage. I will tell you the details after I obtain enough information. In short, I hope that besides studying the cosmological constant, you will focus more on studying space-time particles and the theory and application of time-travel."

If the words are not surprising, then I will die.

Liu Feng looked at him with shock as he looked at this arrogant but often imaginative financial backer.

He really always likes to give himself problems.

Also the cosmological constant,

It’s space-time particles again,

Again, it is the time and space coordinates,

It’s that sad portrait of Einstein that has yet to make a breakthrough,

Now

Here comes the even more outrageous one.

He actually asked himself to research the time shuttle again!

but.

After being instinctively shocked, Liu Feng also understood what Lin Xian was thinking.

Since Huangque, that elusive woman, is a time traveler.

Existence is reasonable.

That means time travel is possible!

The theory is self-consistent!

The time shuttle actually exists and can be created artificially!

He couldn't help but start to imagine

If humans could really take a time shuttle and go back to the past, what would they be able to do?

You can see those old friends who have passed away,

Can make up for the regrets of missing and losing,

You can personally experience the magnificent and majestic history,

You can also, like the oriole, influence the future of mankind within the scope of flexibility!

cool.

so cool!

Liu Feng felt a little excited!

"no problem."

He responded immediately:

"I'll study hard."

Lin Xian looked at his watch.

Although I haven’t been here for too long, it’s time to leave:

"Then I'll leave first and won't disturb your research."

"ah?"

Liu Feng was stunned:

"Walk so fast? You haven't been here ten minutes."

"there's no way."

Lin Xian smiled and spread his hands:

"Tonight is a very important dinner, I have to prepare it in advance, right?"

"Zhao Yingjun's parents came from afar, and they invited me in the name of gratitude. It would be too impolite for me to leave empty-handed."

"Anyway, the East China Sea is not far from Hangzhou. I plan to contact my old classmate in Hangzhou and ask him to prepare some good West Lake Longjing, and then let Xiao Li drive it back in time before dinner."

"My parents are high-ranking and need nothing, so no matter what kind of gift I give them, it's not as good as the so-called specialties from my hometown. These specialties from my hometown can be given to them no matter what the occasion."

Say it.

He waved his hand and left the laboratory:

"Let's go, Liu Feng."

"I hope to see changes in the readings of the time and space clock as soon as possible, and I also hope to be able to see them soon."

"Having our own time shuttle."

That night, at six o'clock in the evening, there was a luxurious villa on the outskirts of Donghai City.

Zhao Ruihai wore a formal suit, and Yan Mei put on her carefully prepared cheongsam.

The two of them took care of themselves.

Getting ready to go out for a banquet.

After all, if you want to thank Lin Xian, you must be sincere and dress with attention and etiquette.

Speaking of etiquette

The old couple were slightly worried about Yan Qiaoqiao who was watching TV on the sofa.

Wouldn't this granddaughter make a joke in front of Lin Xian?

Of course they both know that Yan Qiaoqiao is not obedient and sensible now, mainly because of her amnesia. She doesn't know right or wrong about many things, and she doesn't know whether she can do them or not. They can't blame her.

"How about we don't take Qiaoqiao with us?"

Yan Mei suggested:

"What if Qiaoqiao messes up and messes up the situation? Doesn't it mean that we have no family education and education, and let Lin Xian see the joke!"

Zhao Ruihai thought about it carefully, it was the same.

So he walked to the sofa, touched Yan Qiaoqiao's head, and said with a smile:

"Qiaoqiao, grandpa and grandma are going out for a meal. Can you stay at home and watch TV? We will bring you delicious food when you get back."

Yan Qiaoqiao looked back and refined the key words:

"Have a meal."

"Yep."

Zhao Ruihai nodded:

"We just want to go out to eat, but the occasion is more formal. Can you wait for us at home?"

However

Yan Qiaoqiao shook her head decisively.

Serious eyes:

"Go"

"Eat meat!"

Zhao Ruihai and Yan Mei looked at each other.

He also smiled helplessly.

never mind.

The sky is big and the earth is big, and my granddaughter is the biggest.

Now Yan Qiaoqiao is in a special period of amnesia, so she should leave everything up to her.

"Fine."

Zhao Ruihai took Yan Qiaoqiao's hand and pulled him up from the sofa:

"Let's go! Grandpa will take you to eat meat! You can eat as much as you like!"

at the same time.

Donghai City, the entrance hall of Zhao Yingjun's community.

Zhao Yingjun was all dressed up.

Neat and bright.

At this time, he was sitting next to the shoe cabinet, taking off his slippers and putting on high heels.

"Woof!"

VV, the Pomeranian, stands straight and has a blazing gaze.

Zhao Yingjun looked at it:

"You want to follow me to dinner?"

"Woof!"

VV’s eyes are serious.

"Haha, forget it."

Zhao Yingjun chuckled:

"You were lucky that you didn't turn into dog meat soup last time. From now on, you should stay away from Yan Qiaoqiao. It's too dangerous to be around her."

"With how much her grandparents doted on her, I'm really worried that one day I'll see you again and pick you up with chopsticks at the dinner table."

The dandelion-like Pomeranian shook his head firmly:

"Woof woof! V"

Hear this familiar moan.

Zhao Yingjun understood.

VV didn't necessarily want to go to dinner, but wanted to see Lin Xian at the dinner.

"VV, do you want to see Lin Xian?"

"V"

Pomeranian VV made a cheerful sound.

"Um"

Zhao Yingjun thought for a while.

really.

Lin Xian hasn't been home for many days, and VV hasn't seen Lin Xian for a long time.

VV's mood has been so good recently, all thanks to Lin Xian's comfort.

Now

Let VV do what she wants, don't let her get depressed again.

"Okay."

She put on her high heels, stood up, put her arms around VV, held her in her arms, pressed the elevator door, and couldn't help laughing:

"It's really funny, this time having dinner with Lin Xian, it's really a"

"The whole family is out."
