Chapter 63 Obsession

Lin Xian thought for a long time.

My head hurts from thinking about it.

But I still can't remember where I saw Du Yao's name.

"Hey. I obviously saw it before." Lin Xian knew very well.

He was absolutely impressed.

I must have seen this name somewhere. It probably wasn't that profound. It was just a quick glance, so it's hard to remember.

People are exposed to a large amount of text and image information every day.

Web pages, books, paper, advertisements, short videos, mobile images, movies

This is not a very impressive name.

It's really hard to pull it out of memory.

"It would be great if there was a "brain nerve shock helmet"."

Lin Xian muttered:

"If I had this helmet and put it on my head, I would definitely be able to remember where I saw this name." "That's not right." He suddenly thought.

If Ms. Du Yao cannot be found, then this helmet will not be made at all, let alone now. Even hundreds of years from now, there will be no key breakthrough in the field of brain nerves. The progress of this helmet is stuck on Ms. Du Yao.

The good news is that I have no clues about Du Yao, at least I have seen her name somewhere;

The bad news is that Gawain's handwritten letter states that she will die in Africa in the middle of the twenty-first century.

"Forget it, forget it now."

Lin Xian shook his head.

There is no point in thinking about it. There are too many and complicated things in his mind now. According to the priority, he should deal with the third question of the Genius Club first. The mystery of his death on July 7, Jask was replaced by the civet cat for the prince. Three things are right.

"Tomorrow, let's go into the dreamland and have a look." He yawned.

This time I explored the seventh dreamland. I entered the dream relatively late. The sun had already set when I entered. There were very few areas explored and not much information was obtained.

Especially the blue-eyed woman who has become the village chief. You should get along with her more, maybe you can get more clues.

after all.

As CC said before.

Emotions can transcend memory and exist independently.

Now that the blue-eyed woman's memory has completely disappeared, what about the emotions? Can you find some emotional flaws and clues?

Once in the fifth dream, Lin Xian drew a sketch of a Rhine cat and showed it to Zheng Xiangyue. Zheng Xiangyue, who had hibernated for hundreds of years at that time and was actually over 116 years old, burst into tears instantly.

At this moment, Lin Xian was sure that she was definitely Zheng Xiangyue.

This is human "emotion".

It is something even more elusive to scientists than memory.

Lin Xian walked into the living room, took out some instant products from the refrigerator, went to the kitchen to cook briefly, and made a midnight snack to fill his stomach.

have to say.

Compared with the fragrant mutton skewers, it tasted like nothing. Even the braised bear head in the big-faced cat's hand seemed a little more delicate now that I think about it.

"You have to try Li Cheng's running water mat tomorrow."

Lin Xian wiped his mouth:

"By the way, go to Bonfire Square earlier. If you don't go to see Gao Wen, you might be able to see Li Ningning and the little daughter of the Li family."

Lin Xian still had a good impression of the girl Li Ningning.

brave.

unyielding.

Like a butterfly flying in the wind without belief in fate.

The two previous times he met her were both in the troubled times of the wasteland, Lin Xian said with regret many times.

. She was also supposed to be a beloved princess, but instead she had to dig through the garbage in a putrid garbage dump.

This time, Li Ningning finally got her wish and became the daughter of the lord of Donghai City, a true princess.

Lin Xian really wanted to meet her.

even if

Li Ningning didn't know him at all, nor did she know who he was, nor did she know that the two of them had twice raised their little fingers to ask Lin Xian to accept her safe purse.

But it doesn't matter.

Lin Xian, who had experienced thousands of reincarnations and forgetfulness, didn't care.

As long as he could watch Li Ningning, a little girl with an unfair fate, live a happy life as she wished, he would be satisfied.

Get up.

Lin Xian went to the kitchen to wash the dishes and chopsticks, then returned to bed and continued to sleep.

The next day, Lin Xian woke up very early.

Because the quality of sleep during this period is very good.

There are still some things to do this morning, which is to go to Rheinland Laboratory No. 2 with Brother Wang, Vice President of Rheinland Company.

The Second Rheinland Laboratory is different from Liu Feng's First Laboratory in that it is completely a commercial, profitable, and open laboratory.

Its purpose of existence is to make money and provide sufficient cash flow to RWE.

nowadays.

Rheinland's main cash was still the 2 billion yuan sponsored by Zhao Yingjun and Chu Shanhe respectively, but now it has been spent at 7788 yuan. Brother Wang always expressed a headache in this paragraph, saying that if there was no money in the account, he would not feel safe:

"We need to start some business that makes a lot of money, Lin Xian. To put it bluntly, the Rhine Cat is just a toy. No matter how popular it is and how well it sells, it can't afford to go through such trouble like you."

〃

"Look, you will soon set up a laboratory with Tunghai University and buy this and that;

After a while, we cooperated with the Long Institute of Science and Technology in the laboratory, buying this and that; and we have to provide salary subsidies to the doctoral students, researchers, and academician consultants you hired with high salaries. "

"And you usually spend money lavishly. You just wave your hands and buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy.

"If the Rhine Company fails due to poor management, don't forget, Thame Bank will also be dragged down! Didn't you say before that even if the Rhine Company fails, Thame Bank cannot collapse? Now even if it is for the sake of Thame Bank, It's time to open up a new track. "Brother Wang is very anxious.

Seeing Lin Xian doing nothing, he became even more anxious.

so.

Lin Xian planned to take Brother Wang to meet Nangong Mengjie, which could be regarded as putting the company's business and laboratory research on the line. It should be planned and publicized in advance, so that Brother Wang could have a good idea.

Driver Xiao Li picked up Lin Xian and Brother Wang in an Alfa commercial vehicle and took them all the way to the Rheinland Second Laboratory on the outskirts of the city.

After entering, I found that there were many researchers inside, many young and old, and they were all busy, with excitement and joy on their faces.

"Why are they so happy?" Brother Wang felt a little incredible.

Even though the internal treatment at RWE is so good, most people still look like visiting a grave when they go to work.

Chapter 63 Obsession

But in this laboratory.

Everyone was so excited and happy, it didn't feel like they were at work, but like they were dancing to a disco.

"Because they are doing something great, something that can change the future of mankind."

Lin Xian smiled and explained to Brother Wang:

"Once the micro nuclear battery is successfully invented, it will definitely change the entire world pattern. This pattern is the all-round energy pattern, economic pattern, electronic product pattern, and even the life pattern of people around the world."

"Before, many people said that the next human industrial revolution will be a revolution in the field of batteries. I am deeply convinced by this statement. If you think about it carefully, a battery can last for decades, hundreds, or even hundreds of years. How many revolutionary technological innovations can a damaged battery bring? "

"Just like the recent hot hibernation cabins, the most feared thing is a long-term power outage. Once the external energy source cannot be connected, the people in the hibernation cabin will face death.

But with micro-nuclear batteries, it's different. The hibernation chamber does not require any external functions and can operate independently for hundreds of years. "

"So now you understand why each of them is so motivated, right? They are making history and pushing human civilization to new heights, so of course they have a sense of accomplishment. You have to know that the vast majority of scientific researchers in the world, They are all unknown, and very few of them are truly famous in history, and the people in this laboratory are just one of those few."

Brother Wang, listen.

Suddenly realized:

"Indeed, what you said makes sense. Oh, I'm so envious. They can all be remembered in history. For a mediocre person like me, who can remember me hundreds of years from now?"

"Haha, don't say that, Brother Wang."

Lin Xian patted Brother Wang on the shoulder:

"In terms of their contribution to human civilization, their combined contributions cannot compare to your Thame Bank."

"Haha, are you kidding me?"

Of course Brother Wang wouldn't believe it. He just thought Lin Xian was teasing him and laughed:

"Let's go, take me to see that Dean Nangong."

Soon, the two met Nangong Mengjie in the laboratory.

She still dresses like a student, like a college student who has just left school. She is immature but gives people a sense of wisdom.

With her baby face and black-rimmed glasses, it is really difficult for people to connect such a girl with the director of the laboratory.

"Dean Nangong, hello."

Brother Wang shook hands with Nangong Mengjie and introduced himself.

Lin Xian matched the two people:

"This is the vice president of Rheinland Company. In fact, Brother Wang is responsible for all affairs of Rheinland Company. If the laboratory needs money or equipment, or handles communication with some government agencies, you should contact Brother Wang more than me. More appropriate, more efficient. "I found it."

Nangong Mengjie nodded and rolled her eyes at Lin Xian:

"You are just a pure night owl. I can't find you every time during the day, and then I text you back in the middle of the night. I feel like I'm chatting with a Batman. I can only exchange two sentences once and for all a day. It's really boring. Efficient."

Lin Xian laughed twice:

"So, for the sake of our research progress, I won't introduce Brother Wang to you." Then.

Nangong Mengjie took the two of them to visit the research institute, and also reported on the current progress of micro nuclear batteries:

"It is expected that the first laboratory product will be produced by the end of the year. Then there will be no problem in achieving mass production by the middle of next year. Although nuclear batteries that can drive cars and high-power home appliances need further research, they can be used in mobile phones. Micro nuclear batteries for computers, low-power electronic products and home appliances will definitely be put on the market next year. "

We who are engaged in scientific research don’t understand business matters. As for the future sales model of batteries, you’d better make up your mind. We just need to do research. "

Lin Xian nodded, very satisfied with the progress:

"Yes, it's really good. It's much earlier than I expected. It seems that the world is really going to undergo big changes. 2024 is really a year worthy of being recorded in history books." 1

Brother Wang had a thorough understanding of micro-nuclear batteries during this trip.

I kept thinking about the future business landscape in my mind, and the more I thought about it, the more confident I became.

"That's awesome!"

Brother Wang fantasizes about a mobile phone that will never run out of power, a car that never needs to be charged or refueled, and a home air conditioner, refrigerator, and television that no longer need to be plugged in with wires and can run independently wherever they are placed. 3

cool.

so cool!

New era of home appliances!

"I've seen the money coming from Rheinland!"

Brother Wang's eyes were filled with golden light and he slapped Lin Xian on the shoulder:

"Great Lin Xian, no matter how much you make or spend money when the micro nuclear battery comes on the market, Rheinland can handle it!"

"As long as RWE can handle it, Thame Bank can handle it!"

Hearing these words, Lin Xian thought of the future world and had not seen Taimu Bank in two dreams.

Could it be.

It’s really Brother Wang who made his prediction come true.

Was it Rheinland's subsequent development path that interfered with or delayed the operations of Thame Bank, causing Thame Bank to disappear again from history?

think carefully.

Thame Bank is a single-business bank that operates independently. It may not be a good decision to be too involved with RWE.

after all. .

In the future, I will give more and more responsibilities to Lai Yin Company. The first, second, and third laboratories will also develop space-time shuttles, micro-nuclear batteries, and cranial nerve shock helmets respectively.

Is the step taken too big, which will eventually drag down its subsidiary Taimu Silver?

OK?

"Um"

Lin Xian rubbed his chin.

It's possible, very likely.

Let's find time to separate Thame Bank from RWE and become independent. The separation of the family is pure and innocent, without any connection.

Thus.

Even if RWE does collapse at some point in the future, it will not affect the operations of Thame Bank.

For Lin Xian, the Rhine Company is important, but on the scale of 600 years later, he still values ​​Taime Bank more.

This morning trip.

After settling the affairs of Nangong Mengjie and Brother Wang, they will contact each other directly if there is anything in the future, and they no longer need to be the hands-off shopkeeper to act as a microphone in the middle.

Returned home and had a quick lunch.

Still tastes the same.

"It seems that Li Cheng's flowing water table yesterday whetted my appetite." Half a day passed.

Lin Xian still felt regretful when he thought of the mutton skewers that he almost took a bite of:

"Go to sleep early today. If you go to Face Village early during the day, you should be able to trigger different plots."

Brush your teeth and rinse your mouth.

Put on your pajamas.

Draw the curtains.

Lin Xian rolled onto the bed and fell asleep.

call.

The familiar summer wind blows and the sun shines.

Even with my eyes closed, I could feel the scorching red sun shining through my eyelids, which were blood-red.

All around were the loud chirping of cicadas and the chirping of sparrows.

Accompanied by the smell of earth and the aroma of rice in the nose.

Lin Xian understood.

He came to the rice field again. The rice fields of Smith's biggest enemy.

open one's eyes.

really.

Smith, wearing a big straw hat, looked at Lin Xian in surprise:

"What are you worried about?"

"What are you looking at?" Lin Xian responded.

"You're a street kid. It's hard for me." Smith raised his sickle: "Don't step on my rice!" Lin Xian lowered his head.

I realized that it was indeed my fault, and I stepped on Smith’s straw:

"Ah, sorry."

He jumped out quickly, stepped on the hard ground, and stamped the dirt on his feet:

"Look at you, Smith, if you have something to say, speak it carefully. You are talking about dialects from all over the country, can't you learn something good? Why are you learning unfriendly words? Why don't you learn Mandarin?"

What I speak is pure Mandarin! "

6

"I understand, you are really a master."

Lin Xian waved his hand and gave up communicating:

"Let's go, Smith, cut your wheat."!

Smith didn't know what he muttered, and he snorted:

"Hurry up and go bye-bye."

It's so hot.

After walking for a while, I was covered in sweat.

Lin Xian finally followed the original route and came to Face Village, thinking about how to join Face Village in the most efficient and direct way.

Anyway, just don’t look for the second pillar.

This guy didn't get along with me. Except for the time when he and CC pretended to be husband and wife in the Fifth Dream, Erzhu never looked down on him.

It’s better to go directly to Brother Face. "Soon, I found Brother Face in the warehouse.

It seems that the village prince has a high status and power in Face Village. He should belong to the warehouse manager and is a fat job.

Lin Xian conquered Brother Face with just one sentence:

"The cat is ideology, the face is metaphysics." Damn it! "

The big-faced cat quickly held Lin Xian's hands:

A confidant, brother! You are simply a worm in my intestines! "

"Well...you don't need to be specific about a specific organ."

Lin Xian looked around:

"Why don't you see your little brothers?"

"They are all working in the village. A Zhuang is repairing wooden doors for people on the east side, Er Zhuzhu is repairing light bulbs at Smith's house, and Third Fatty is cleaning the pool." 3

"Oh one"

Lin Xian understood:

"Anyway, the face gang is still the property company's setting, ah, no, wait a minute.

Down!"

Lin Xian narrowed his eyes and looked at the big-faced cat:

"What do you think Erzhuzi is doing?"

"Fixing light bulbs at Smith's house!" The big-faced cat looked at Lin Xian as if he were deaf: &t;6

"What's wrong?" "No. It's okay." Lin Xian shook his head.

It’s hard for an upright official to stop family affairs, that’s all:

"Brother Face, won't you take me to see the village chief?" "Village chief."

The big-faced cat turned its head and turned towards the south:

"The village chief is going to go hunting in the mountains soon. He should be ready to leave now. If you want to see her, hurry up and let's go to the north of the village." The big-faced cat twisted around and led Lin Xian towards the north:

"Tonight, Lord Li of Donghai City." "I know." Lin Xian interrupted.

"The village chief wants to send a congratulation." "I know this too." Lin Xian interrupted.

"I have to drive there tonight.

"jump over."

"Mainly my daughter."

"There's no problem with her going to school." Lin Xian answered quickly.

The big-faced cat stopped and looked at Lin Xian impatiently:

"No, brother, are you rushing to be reincarnated? Or are you going to die soon?"

2

"Why are you in such a hurry! Let me finish what I'm saying! Can you make me look stupid like this?"

"If you know everything, please tell me the recipe for the main water banquet in Licheng tonight!"

Lin Xian told them one by one, as if they were treasures from every household.

"oh oh."

The big-faced cat listened very seriously:

"It's so rich." He took a sip of saliva and said:

"Okay, okay, I won't eat at home that night, I have to have an empty stomach. Yes, you are right, you must grab the bear's head. Don't worry, brother, if I can grab the bear's head, I will Tongue and eyeballs divide you half.

Lin Xian stretched out his Five Fingers Mountain:

"That's not necessary."

Soon, the two of them were running all the way, and finally intercepted the blue-eyed village chief at the entrance of the village.

It's like she doesn't know how to feel hot.

He was wearing tight-fitting hunting clothes, with various long and short swords on his waist, bearskin gloves, and a bow, arrows and ropes on his back.

This posture is not easy to mess with at first glance.

No wonder Li Cheng also praised the blue-eyed village chief of Face Village when he mentioned it. This is definitely a real-life version of one man being able to guard the northern border by himself.

I heard Smith say before that in the early days, Face Village was always attacked by ferocious animals on the mountains because it was close to mountains and forests. Every time, livestock was lost or people were killed or injured, which was very tragic. The villagers were so scared that they did not dare to go out at night.

But since the blue-eyed woman named Yan Qiaoqiao became the village chief, everyone has been looking forward to the animals coming down the mountain and entering the village.

That means you can have a hearty meal of delicacies.

For example, when a pack of wolves invaded last time and the village chief chased them out with a machete, the sensible villagers immediately started setting fire to the pot. !

It's a pity that the reputation of the blue-eyed village chief has probably spread among the animal circles in recent years.

.

Therefore, no animals without long eyes have come down the mountain for many years. This also led to the fact that Fian Village wanted to catch some wild animals as gifts for Li Cheng, and the village chief had to go up the mountain to catch bears. These bears were too ignorant of current affairs.

When the blue-eyed village chief saw Lin Xian, he was still as shocked as last time. He took out the photo in his arms and asked who Lin Xian was.

This time, Lin Xian did not tell her directly. He just said that he did know the little girl in the photo, but he only met her a few times and knew very little about her.

because.

He wanted to have a good chat with this girl who was once fourteen years old, then seventeen or eighteen years old, and now thirty years old.

Previously in the Sixth Dream, the various tasks were so rushed that there was no time to communicate with the blue-eyed girl.

Lin Xian sometimes hopes that she is Yan Qiaoqiao, and sometimes does not want her to be Yan Qiaoqiao. This is a very contradictory mentality.

Although there is countless evidence proving that the blue-eyed girl in 2624 does have a lot in common with Yan Qiaoqiao.

But can this really prove that the two are the same person?

Lin Xian was not sure.

After all, the difference in appearance between the two is so great that unless a DNA paternity test is conducted, it is impossible to draw a conclusion.

certainly

There might as well be a stupid way.

That is the confirmation of "emotion".

Just like Yan Qiaoqiao lost her memory, she still retained her longing and obsession for her parents. This is an emotion that she cannot lose even if her memory is completely lost.

So.

What about the current blue-eyed village chief?

Does she still have this obsession? Will she still miss her parents?

Or maybe.

Now that she is here, what emotions are left behind?

Because the girl who grew up in Lanyan Village is most likely Yan Qiaoqiao, or her biological daughter.

Lin Xian, as a father, is still very concerned and curious about the life of the blue-eyed village chief, and wants to know more about it.

"Can I go hunting in the mountains with you?"

Lin Xian asked:

"I'm pretty good at it. Although I can't guarantee that I can help you catch a bear, at least I won't hold you back and I can give you some kicks."

"sure."

The blue-eyed village chief took out a short knife from his waist and threw it to Lin Xian:

"Take it, use it to chop branches. If you encounter a wild animal, you don't need to take action. I will take care of it." Then.

She held up a rubber band and tied her black hair into a high ponytail.

Shake it off.

He led Lin Xian towards the mountain.

All the way up the mountain, she leads the way.

Lin Xian followed behind.

This scene.

It made Lin Xian feel a little familiar.

It's like holding Yan Qiaoqiao's hand and playing in Disneyland.

only.

The order is reversed.

"I heard that it has been more than ten years since you woke up from the hibernation cabin." Lin Xian asked.

"Um."

The blue-eyed village chief nodded while clearing the way:

"To be precise, it's been almost 13 years."

"Have you been happy these past few years? Do you have any worries?" "No."

The blue-eyed village chief shook his head

"I feel very happy. Although I don't know what kind of time I lived before hibernation, these 13 years of life, from a little girl to a village chief, I think it is the happiest and happiest 13 years in my life. Year."

"So I often wonder whether I am the little girl in the princess dress in the photo. First of all, we look nothing alike; secondly, the little girl in the photo looks like a pampered darling. She He must have lived a very noble life."

"If I were really her, could I really experience happiness in a village like this? Village Chief Chen Heping once taught us that it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. I have always thought that the reason why I am very satisfied with my current life is that It's because my life before hibernation was terrible, so my life now seems beautiful in comparison. "

Lin Xian looked at her strong back and said nothing.

Cut branches off the road.

Chopped several.

Then he asked softly:

"Why do you think your life before hibernation was so bad?" "Because I didn't leave anything in the locker of my hibernation cabin."

The blue-eyed village chief turned around, glanced at Lin Xian with his crystal blue pupils, turned his head and continued to move forward:

"Village Chief Chen Heping told me that each hibernation cabin locker contains more or less identification documents, letters, memory notebooks, memory hard drives and the like."

"But there is nothing in my locker, only this photo. So, if my life before hibernation was very happy, happy, and joyful, why didn't I leave myself some memories worth remembering? Where's the commemorative thing?"

"You should at least let me know who I am, right? To tell you the truth, I often stare at that photo, but every time I look at the little girl above, I feel very strange, including the boy and girl behind. That feeling of family is so unfamiliar to me."

Lin Xian stopped:

"Then have you ever thought about your parents? Have you ever thought that you have parents like everyone else?" "No."

The blue-eyed village chief answered decisively:

"Never."

"All this time, I actually didn't care who the men and women behind this photo were. Whether they were my parents or not, I didn't really care. They were gone anyway, and I didn't have much of an impression."

"The only thing I care about, and what I have always cared about, is the little girl in the photo. I really want to know whether I am her, whether she is me, and whether I am Yan Qiaoqiao."

Lin Xian kept up with her pace, a little confused about her thoughts:

"If you don't care about the past, why worry about who you are?"

"I can't tell clearly either."

The blue-eyed village chief shook his head and walked towards another hilltop:

""But actually, I have always been obsessed with it. ""

Obsession?

When Lin Xian heard this keyword, he became serious:

"What obsession?"

"That's what I just said, I don't care who that little girl is, or who the parents are in the photo, or even who I am."

"I just want to know if my name is Yan Qiaoqiao, that's all. I just want to know my name, or in other words, I just want to have a name."〈1

Lin Xian smiled slightly:

"What a strange idea. Everyone in this world has their own name, so why do you care about it?"

"So I don't understand it."

The blue-eyed village chief waved his hand:

"But isn't that what is called obsession? If my name is really Yan Qiaoqiao, then I will definitely be very happy." "Why?" Lin Xian asked.

"No reason."

The blue-eyed village chief smiled and his voice became softer:

"I just think the name Yan Qiaoqiao sounds really nice."
