Chapter 58 The Best Era (Monthly Tickets Plus Update)

What kind of future... is the best future?

Lin Xian looked at the question that popped up at the end and was stunned for a moment. When the multiple-choice question just now asked him to choose whether human beings still have a future, he was strong-willed and clear in thinking, and concluded that human beings must have a future.

but.

Now, following the second half of this question, Lin Xian felt as if he was being questioned by his soul and could not answer a single word.

Yes...What kind of future is the best future?

Lin Xian really couldn't come up with an accurate answer. Until today, he has experienced a total of six dreams. He can be regarded as witnessing the future of six world lines, and the future of the first dream. Although the level of technological development is severely limited, But at least urban life is still there and people live and work in peace and contentment.

In the future of the second dream, although there is a huge gap between the rich and the poor and Xinridonghai City is separated by a high wall, people inside and outside the high wall do not disturb each other and live their own lives, and everything is peaceful. At that time, Lin Xian felt that first The future of the dream and the second dream is not good, as if it is controlled by the invisible black hand of history... But compared with the third dream, the fifth dream, and the sixth dream, the judgment is clear. There is no harm without comparison. Only by comparing can we realize how happy the future of mankind is in the first two dreams.

Returning to the last question of the genius club, what kind of future is the best future?

Lin Xian let out a sigh of relief.

Pingbu walked back to the sofa, sat down, and began to close his eyes and imagine the future that Jask and Kevin Walker expected. He knew clearly that Jask believed that the best future was probably for humans to immigrate to Mars, and then use Mars as a Springboard continues to develop interstellar navigation technology, gradually leading humans to leave the earth and fly into the vast universe. Kevin Walker believes that the best future is for all humans to be transformed into digital beings, stored in a server the size of a city, with minimal resources. To maintain the existence of human civilization, everything lives in a virtual world. Lin Xian is not sure how other members of the Talent Club answered this question, but the answers given by Jask and Kevin Walker were roughly the same.

But Lin Xian.

Until now.

I haven't thought about it in detail.

His original plan was to wait until he joined the Genius Club, and after knowing what this group of people were doing and what their purpose was, he could then set his future direction for the battle.

I never expected that I would have to answer this question before joining the Genius Club.

"I was a little caught off guard." Lin Xian said softly. He knew that this third question was a subjective question. There was no standard answer, as long as it made sense and expressed his own thoughts. It can even be said that the real test questions of the Genius Club are only the first two. The third question is indeed a score-giving question, but maybe... the third question is the most important to the members of the Genius Club. A question because.

The first two questions are answered to the "examiner" to prove the candidate's strength and qualifications. The third question is answered to "themselves". The purpose is to allow every member who joins the genius club to face the problem directly. In your heart, keep your faith.

From this perspective.

Lin Xian had to admit that each of the three test questions set by the Genius Club had its own truth and meaning.

Broadly speaking.

Lin Xian just believes that the future world in the first dream is relatively the best even though the technological level has not developed in more than 600 years.

But for daily life, it is actually enough. The faces of people in the square and in the city are filled with satisfaction and happiness. They don’t care much about the rapid development of technology. Most people see Firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, things that are too far away and high-end, are illusory to them. But since they copied the hibernation cabin filling fluid into reality, the most basic fairness of life, old age, illness and death has been destroyed, and the future world has become more and more complex. Oops. "So... In fact, everything started because of the emergence of the hibernation cabin." Lin Xian opened his eyes on the sofa.

Let's take Jask and Kevin Walker as an example. Even though both are recognized geniuses, they both have ambitious goals and dreams.

However, the limitations of human lifespan are limited by the speed of technological development.

Without the emergence of the hibernation capsule, Jask was destined to not be able to visit Mars in person: Kevin Walker would never survive the day when the super server appeared.

Death, for human beings, is the fairest cruelty and the cruelest fairness, but is there anything wrong with the development of science and technology? "Lin Xian asked himself that the emergence of hibernation cabins has brought about some inevitable social problems, but it has saved many lives and allowed people like Zheng Xiangyue and Wei Shengjin who should have died of diseases to recover healthily. : At the same time, it also provides great scientists like Gawain with the possibility of traveling through time to support future scientific research. The existence and emergence of anything are two-sided, and there is no absolute right or wrong. This makes it even more difficult for Lin Xian to make a quick choice. if.

If you really have to set a "closed loop" for yourself, set a "goal", and set a "future you want to achieve", what should that look like? He yawned. I've been busy all day today, and I'm really tired.

Go to sleep first and explore the seventh dreamland. "Lin Xian got up and went to the bathroom: See if there are any clues about July 7 in this dream. Maybe the established history has changed.

In short, if we can find the root cause of Yan Qiaoqiao's memory recovery, we can solve this matter once and for all. "

As for the answer to the third question, I’ll leave it to Mingda to think about it later. It is a Wang Guan question, and it has no correct answer. "Although he knows that even if he writes randomly, it should not affect his joining the genius club, Lin Xian still plans to be cautious. What's more, the answer to this question is indeed very important to him. So far, he has been driven His only motivation for joining the Genius Club was to find out the truth about Qian Nianzhuang and get Chu Anqing back.

2. Understand the answers to a series of mysteries, find out what the purpose of the Genius Club is, what your dream is, and what the white light at 00:42 is.

3. Revenge when there is a grudge, find out Copernicus when there is a grudge, and fulfill the promise with Angelica to help her find the murderer of Ji Lin's parents.

These are short-term goals and no long-term plans.

Through previous discussions with Liu Feng... Lin Xian also wanted to find the most perfect future world line, and then guide the curvature of space and time in that direction.

That was before this.

It is really necessary to figure out what kind of future can be considered the best future. "I just hope... that the world of the seventh dream will not become worse than the sixth dream."

Brushing his teeth.

Looking at himself in the mirror with his mouth full of foam, Lin Xian felt helpless. Every time, when he wanted to make the world a better place in the future.

Almost all of them will be self-defeating, making life in the future world worse. This is clearly reflected in the big-faced cat. The earliest big-faced cat still had a home.

All the way to the seventh dreamland.

The family is gone, the sister-in-law is gone, the younger brother is gone, and even the clothes that can cover the body are gone... only a piece of rag is left on the whole body.

The swordsmanship doesn't get any worse, does it? "Lin Xian rinsed his mouth, spit out the foam from his teeth, and prayed for Brother Face: "Things are bound to turn upside down. Brother Face has been extremely unlucky. It's time for him to rebound this time. "

Wipe your face clean.

With expectations for the seventh dream and blessings for the big-faced cat, Lin Xian rolled onto the bed, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

The long-lost summer breeze is coming.

The nose is filled with the aroma of earth and the pleasant smell of green leaves.

My ears are filled with the loud chirping of cicadas and the chirping of birds from all around, which is great.

Lin Xian hasn't opened his eyes yet.

You can feel that this is at least a deep breath of peaceful air in a peaceful era.

Lin Xian opened his eyes and said "Huh?"

"error?"

As far as he could see, Lin Xian himself was in a vast rice field.

The rice grows very well, neatly and densely, obviously it is planted on a large scale.

And the reason why Lin Xian made a sound was.

It was because the moment I opened my eyes, I saw a familiar old friend standing in front of me!

The other party was surprised to see Lin Xian suddenly appear: "What are you looking at?"

He was a tall foreigner with a beard, but he was wearing a large vest and a straw hat. Lin Xian looked at his clear and simple eyes and immediately recognized who he was: "Smith is a great injustice." kind!"

"Sh!ft!" the foreigner said, "You are the one who is wronged! Your whole family is wronged!" He spoke fluently in Longguo dialect, which made Lin Xiange go out to play, as if watching A mid-titled movie: "So you're always Smith, right?"

That's right, I am. Smith picked his nose: "Who are you!" "Lin Xian was speechless. He didn't know how to communicate with Smith in the correct way. His accent and grammar were too confusing.

Now he speaks Northeastern dialect, now Henanese dialect, and now he speaks English with facial expressions. Which master taught this student?

You can't just give yourself a stupid accent all of a sudden, right?

"say!"

Smith was anxious, took a step back, pointed at Lin Xian with the sickle in his hand: "Don't think that I am a good gentleman, I am Shu Daoshan!"

"Okay, okay."

Lin Xian stretched out his hand to stop him from speaking: "That's enough, that's enough, Smith. You speak Longguo dialect very well, even better, but you should take a rest first." Lin Xian walked out of the rice field and stepped onto the dirt road next to him. Restless feet, looking around, huh.

About two kilometers away, you can see a village, which should be a gathering place for residents. Overall, although it is not yet clear what the world view of the Seventh Dream is, since Smith's enemies can farm comfortably here, It means that this world is not bad. Not to mention that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, at least everyone has enough to eat and eat, and it is not the same as the slave society in the Sixth Dream.

Just two kilometers is too far.

Instead of running over to understand the world view, it is better to communicate with Smith here.

Although his Longguo dialect is very mixed, with accents from various provinces and cities... But it is easy to speak and speak in Longguo dialect, and Lin Xian can understand them all.

What's more, if you actually go to the village, you may not necessarily have any acquaintances there.

It's better to take advantage of Smith's grievance here.

At least the two of them have met. In the sixth dream, in the underground hibernation base of the deep pit excavation site, the big-faced cat will wake up Smith's hibernation cabin first every time: then when Smith wakes up from the hibernation cabin, he will be dragged away in confusion. When I went to dig the soil... the blue-eyed girl woke up almost immediately. So.

Lin Xian walked back to the rice field and looked at Smith, who was standing upright with his eyes wide open like a fool: Smith, you should have woken up from the hibernation cabin, right?

Smith was stunned: "Yes, you know." "When did you wake up?" Lin Xian asked, "Can you tell me what happened after you woke up? I am in a similar situation to you now. It's quite confusing...if you are willing to tell me, I might be able to remember a lot of things."

"It has been more than ten years since I woke up from the hibernation cabin." Smith straightened his straw hat and said: "When I woke up, I was unfamiliar with the place where I was born, but a group of people from the Dragon Kingdom were very warm to me and took care of me. They also gave me food and drink, and also showed me the memory notebook left before hibernation, so that I could know some basic information about myself... Unfortunately, there were too few things recorded in the notebook, and most of my previous memories were stored there. In the video storage hard drive, that thing cannot be played at all now, so I don't know much about the details.

Then I settled down in the East China Sea. The villagers were very kind to me. They even found me a wife, built a house, and gave birth to a baby. I have been very happy these past few years... and so have I. I don’t really care about those memories from the past anymore, I’m quite happy living a leisurely life like this. "

Smith gestured with the sickle in his hand: If you hadn't suddenly appeared in my field to see what was going on, the sun is setting now and it's mostly dark... I would have gone home for dinner. "

Lin Xian listened silently to Smith's talk about life after waking up from hibernation. Several pieces of the worldview puzzle gradually came into his mind, and he continued to ask: "So Smith, will a super disaster still exist on earth in 2400? Do you know anything about super disasters?" "

I know, I know! "Smith nodded: I have heard of super disasters... It is said that various natural disasters destroyed most of the cities around the world and almost caused humankind to become extinct. Then came wars and famines, until decades later, Only then did human beings stabilize, gather together to multiply, develop technology...and then it became what it is now. "

Are you still okay? If nothing happens, I will go home for dinner. My wife is still waiting to see me. "Look, he put away his sickle and hoe and left." Don't panic. "

Lin Xian grabbed his hoe handle and smiled slightly: "You take me back with you? Let me have a meal." Smith raised his eyes and looked at Lin Xian suspiciously: "Where are you from?" I don't know either. ah. "Lin Xian spreads his hands and I am just like you when you first woke up from hibernation. From your description, there are not many people left in the world now. We are all compatriots... Ahem, okay, even though you are a foreigner , but you have been completely naturalized. Your accent almost embodies the essence of half of the Dragon Kingdom, and you can be considered half of the Dragon Kingdom.

"When a fellow villager meets a fellow villager, just treat him as a favor. Take me to your house to have a meal, and see if the village can take me in." After ten years of culture, Smith has obviously been impressed by the hospitable, kind and simple Longguo people. After hearing the word fellow, I was infected by traditional virtues.

It only took two seconds to complete the self-guide, and nodded: "Okay, it's dinner time, you can go home with me." That's it.

Lin Xian helped Smith carry the hoe and walked home on the earth dyed red by the sunset. Along the way, Lin Xian learned a lot about history from Smith.

everything.

Let’s start with the super disaster in 2400.

In this seventh dream, there must be no Turing.

Jask still followed the original history and arranged for Mars immigration early, leading a group of people and hibernating cabins to Mars before the super disaster in 2400. Subsequently, the super disaster occurred as scheduled in 2400, and the prosperous human civilization on the earth was almost wiped out. , the population death exceeded 95, followed by decades of war and famine. These are the same settings as the previous fifth dream and sixth dream.

the difference is.

When the war and famine ceased, human beings on the thorny earth began to multiply and rebuild civilization. This reconstruction process was very beneficial. Wang Yao benefited from two products: a large number of micro-nuclear batteries buried underground, as well as underground hibernation bases all over the world. In these hibernation bases, a large number of sleeping humans from the old era recovered their memories through the notes left behind. Seeing the powerful learning ability with them as the core and leaders, humans on earth quickly united. Under the leadership of these hibernating humans, they began to rebuild their homes and climb the technological tree again.

When Lin Xian heard this, he roughly understood why the civilization of the Seventh Dream recovered so quickly.

Although humans can no longer dig out Turing from the ground, they can dig out talents like Emperor Gawain!

Even if Gawain doesn't remember anything after he wakes up, he has notes and a mind. What can't he learn and study thoroughly?

With such intellectuals leading the way, civilization will indeed recover very quickly.

In the sixth dream before, Turing must have understood much more knowledge and technology than Gawain, but Turing's energy was all on fighting and internal friction, and they only regarded human beings as tools and consumables... and they would not But intellectuals like Gao Wen are different. They are human beings themselves. Of course, they can closely unite with humans on earth and seek common development.

Smith told Lin Xian that since humans began to develop technology, there has never been a war until today, and life is peaceful and happy. In his words: In terms of energy, there are micro-nuclear batteries, which are inexhaustible; in terms of food, the land is vast and rich, and there are arable land everywhere, and there is simply too much food to eat: everyone is very satisfied, there is no pressure, and they live and work in peace and contentment. "Lin Xian nodded as he listened. This era is unexpectedly beautiful, and it can be said to be the best era in recent dreams. Listening to Smith's description of various technologies, Lin Xian roughly speculated that the current technological level of human civilization has improved a lot compared to the fifth and sixth dreams, and is roughly equivalent to the level of the Second Industrial Revolution.

In fact, the recovery of civilization should have been faster.

The reason is indeed because the population is too small. Population is the basis for the development of industrialization. Without sufficient population and labor support, industrialization is difficult to achieve.

Fortunately, in this era, steam engines and internal combustion engines have been invented, and many large-scale transportation vehicles have also appeared. Ships and trains have been running between large cities: As for ordinary low-power household appliances, they all use micro-nuclear batteries, which are inexhaustible. After a while, the two walked to the village gate. Smith told Lin Xian: Let's make it clear first, you can come to my house for dinner, but whether you can stay in the village depends on the opinion of the village chief." "Understood." Lin Xian nodded.

He was too familiar with this plot, and basically every dream had this scene, so he smiled and said: "Don't worry, I probably know your village chief. Let me guess... Is your village chief... Zheng Xiangyue?" "No." Smith shook his head. "Angelica?"

"No." Smith shook his head.

"Big-faced cat?"

"No."

"Li Cheng?"

"No."

"Uh... It can't be Gao Wen, right?

"No." Lin Xian scratched his head, feeling that he couldn't stop pretending. It was really a rotation of village chiefs. Whose turn was it this time?

Lin Xian racked his brains, but couldn't think of any other candidates for village chief among the people he knew. It couldn't be that there were new characters in the East China Sea, a land of outstanding people and beautiful scenery?

"Then who is your village chief?" "Humph! "

Smith was very proud when he mentioned the village chief: Our village chief is very powerful! When you meet the village chief later, be careful and polite, otherwise you will definitely suffer!"

"Ouch." Lin Xian was amused.

"Does your village chief beat people? Is he good at fighting?""Of course!" Smith gave a thumbs up: "Our village chief is very powerful! Last time a grizzly bear broke into the village, our village chief punched the bear's head!""Last time a wolf pack ran over in the middle of the night, and everyone in the village was scared... As a result, the village chief took a machete and chased the wolf pack! Not a single wolf escaped, all were put into the pot!

"When the village built a house, the village chief also went into battle personally, and he could do the work of ten people! Such a thick wood can be split with a slap! Such a thick steel plate can be torn in half by hand!

When Lin Xian heard this adjective. A figure emerged in his mind: "Could it be.... Your village chief is a girl?"

That's right. "Smith laughed and said: But she is no longer a girl, she should be called a woman. She is a few years older than you! When you see her later, you can call her sister or village chief.

"No."

Lin Xian was not calm. Why is there a generation difference again: "Older than me? Do you have blue eyes?"

Smith took a breath: "You are incredible... Could it be that you really know our village chief?

He swallowed and continued: "The name of our village chief..." is Qiaoqiao! "
