Chapter 90 Blind Spot (Asking for Monthly Votes)
It's getting late.
The sun sets westward and the moon climbs up.
Through the window facing the street, Lin Xian looked up and once again saw the white jade plate split into two by the terrifying black hands.
How funny...
No matter how many times he saw the moon like this, Lin Xian always felt ridiculous.
The logo and seal of the Genius Club will appear and cover the moon. This is something Lin Xian could not have imagined. Even if he were asked to write it, he would not be able to come up with such a setting.
But from another perspective, this kind of behavior is indeed "genius", and it does fit with Lin Xian's long-standing impression of the genius club——
Weird, and arrogant.
Cover the moon with the monogram so that every person on Earth can look up at night and see the right hand on the moon with its index finger extended and pointing straight upward.
I don't know how serious it is.
In summary, Lin Xian knew very little about the Genius Club, but there was one thing that really concerned him -
The Genius Club only killed Xu Yun, but did not take away his research information. But this time in the dream world, they not only took away the big-faced cat father, but also took away all his acting papers...
"This means..."
"The Genius Club doesn't care about Xu Yun's research results, but it is afraid of the research results of the big-faced cat's father and the cosmological constant! It's afraid of the true meaning of 42."
Lin Xian stood up and once again confirmed his previous inference.
Maybe the cosmological constant 42...
It's really the genius club's biggest weakness, what they fear the most.
He walked out of the room.
Take the stairs.
Come to the roof of the second floor.
The roof is covered with ropes for drying clothes and some miscellaneous green plants.
Lin Xian turned around and looked at the huge and neon-lit Xindonghai City in the distance.
It is so tall and huge... it stands between heaven and earth.
actually.
There is still a chance to figure out the meaning of the cosmological constant 42.
Lin Xian stared at the colorful steel city:
"If the Genius Club kills these scientists, it must be set at 00:42..."
"That means the big-faced cat's father is not dead yet. He will be alive until 00:42 on August 29, 2624."
"As long as we sneak into Xindonghai City and find the big-faced cat father before this time... we can ask about the meaning of the cosmological constant 42."
This is another race against time...
He always has an inexplicable feeling that perhaps his unique dream, the white light that destroys the world on time at 00:42, the purpose of the Genius Club... and so on, all the mysteries are related to the mysterious number 42.
Lin Xian raised his head, looked at the moon covered by black hands in the sky, looked at the endless dark universe behind the moon, and recalled the words that the big-faced cat's father had been saying:
"42...everywhere."
Lin Xian scanned the high steel walls of Xindonghai City that stretched for dozens of kilometers from west to east:
"Right now, this new Donghai City is a must-visit."
After coming out of the dream last time, Lin Xian set two main tasks for himself.
One is to ask about the cosmological constant 42 from the father of the big-faced cat.
The other is to enter New Donghai City to find the correct history book and figure out how this future world developed step by step.
nowadays.
Because the big-faced cat's father was captured in Xindonghai City, these two main tasks seem to have been combined into one.
Today's dream, the biggest gain is knowing that the cosmological constant is 42.
But what does 42 mean?
Why 42?
What does 42 do?
This is still on Lin Xian's mind
The biggest mystery.
"Hey! Brother! You're standing there like that! Come down quickly!"
Lower your head.
The big-faced cat in the yard had already fed the pigs and dogs and called Lin Xian to come down:
"Come down quickly! I have to buy roast chicken for my son when I get back, so stop the ink stains!"
…
Since the big-faced cat's father is not here, and nothing of useful value is left in the room, there is really no point in staying here.
Lin Xian closed the doors, windows and lights, got on Big Face Cat's motorcycle, put on his helmet, and started to return.
Chug tug tug tug——
The big-faced cat's motorcycle was running wildly on the bumpy and unbroken dirt road, emitting unpleasant black smoke.
The entire journey was speechless.
Lin Xian was thinking about the cosmological constant 42 and how to sneak into Xindonghai City and find the father of the big-faced cat...
"No, there is actually another way.]"
Lin Xian had an idea and thought of a bright idea.
"Brother Face!"
He yelled with cat ears on his big face on the back seat of the motorcycle. The speed was very fast and the wind was strong. He had to yell to the other party to hear:
"You said your father's book, the "Introduction to the Cosmological Constant," was written 600 years ago? Are you sure?"
"yes!"
Brother Face didn’t look back and shouted into the wind:
"My dad said it himself. He has been reading this book for so many years that it is almost worn out. There is no mistake. This is an ancient book from 600 years ago, dug out of a grave."
"But it's wrong, Brother Face, this is unscientific." Lin Xian shouted:
"Unless it is preserved at laboratory level, it is impossible for a book to be read normally after 600 years."
"If you're lucky and the preservation conditions are right, maybe it can be restored as a cultural relic when it's dug out of the ancient tomb; if you're not lucky, it may turn into crumbs and rot when touched."
"But no matter what the situation is, it is absolutely impossible for it to remain intact after being turned over in your father's hands for many years. This is absolutely impossible. The shelf life of paper is actually very short."
Boom...boom...
As the motorcycle drove into the village market, the big-faced cat also slowed down the speed, and the two of them were able to communicate without having to raise their voices:
"Brother, you don't have a very bright mind."
The big-faced cat set up his motorcycle, parked it behind the roast chicken shop, and looked at Lin Xian:
"My father's book is indeed an ancient book from 600 years ago, but it is not the one dug out of a grave! My son also has a set of Journey to the West. Can you say that this set of books is from 1,000 years ago? Was it dug out years ago?"
"It must have been printed later! Don't say that my father has the ability to dig a 600-year-old grave... Even if a book is dug out, who would dare to put such an unlucky thing in the house? Digging it out of a grave it's me
What Dad saw from the book cover is true or false, who knows. "
After that, he happily went to buy roast chicken.
Lin Xian also understood what he wanted to express.
The original book "Introduction to the Cosmological Constant" was written 600 years ago by a mathematician 600 years ago.
This is similar to the reason why "Journey to the West" was written by Wu Chengen during the Ming Dynasty.
And the "Journey to the West" that everyone is reading now must be printed books that have been reprinted countless times, not the one originally written by Wu Cheng'en, or the one dug up from a certain tomb.
The same is true for "Introduction to the Cosmological Constant."
It is true that this book was written 600 years ago, but the copy in the hands of the big-faced cat's father was also a "reprint" that was later printed and published.
In other words, this book is not unique! 】
This provides Lin Xian with a new way of thinking about the puzzle of cosmological constant 42——
600 years ago in 2624, it was roughly around 2024, and it was in the same era as 2023!
This also means...this book "Yu"
The original author of Introduction to the Cosmological Constant is very likely to be living in the reality of 2023!
As long as we know who the original author of this book is, wouldn't it be enough to just go find him in the reality of 2023?
Although judging from the current situation, the original author may not have solved the answer to the cosmological constant until his death.
But it doesn’t matter.
I now know that the final answer is 42.
As long as you have a good communication with the original author, you will definitely gain something!
so……
The most important thing right now is to understand who the original author of this book is!
It is best to know exactly the author's name, date of birth, location of activities, position and work unit, etc... In short, the more detailed the better.
After thinking it through.
One more route to explore.
At this time, Brother Face also came back with roast chicken, and Lin Xian asked directly:
"Brother Face, do you know the name of the author of "Introduction to the Cosmological Constant?"
"I don't know, I've never read that book once."
"Then where did your father buy that copy? Is it in the bookstore?"
"How come we have such a profound book here!" The big-faced cat snorted:
"We have no real history and knowledge here at all. We are not qualified to know this. Only New Donghai City has this kind of profound knowledge and real history."?
Lin Xian caught the flaw in the big-faced cat's words:
"So... your father's book leaked out of Xintonghai City? How was this done? Aren't you and Xindonghai City completely isolated and without communication?"
Well!
The big-faced cat closed its mouth tightly and looked ashen, as if it had been in serious trouble:
"Ahem... Brother, I can't explain this to you in detail."
"Stop, Brother Face."
Lin Xian grabbed the roast chicken in his hand:
"I'm already your little brother and a member of your face gang! How can you, the eldest brother, hide something from me?"
"Just tell me! Are you hiding something from me? Is it related to the secret operation of you and Zhuang Erzhu and the others at night?"
The big-faced cat was silent.
Looking at the roast chicken in his hand, he didn't speak for a long time.
finally……
As if he had made a lot of determination, he nodded heavily:
"Brother, I admit, I do hide something from you."
The big-faced cat is still so honest and loyal:
"But I don't plan to hide it from you forever."
"Actually, I originally planned to tell you this while eating. Since you asked now, I'll just tell you."
"There is a boss above us, and we have been working for the boss. I plan to take you to see the boss tomorrow. As long as he takes a fancy to you and allows you to join the operation, then I can tell you everything. .
"Of course... that also includes the origin of my father's book. I believe that the boss will definitely like your skills. But your brother, I am honest and trustworthy. Before the boss approves you, I will never put this matter aside. Let's talk it over, so don't make things difficult for me."
…
The big-faced cat said it sincerely.
It was exactly the same as what he said when he fell into a dream last time, saying that there was a boss above them who had been doing something secretly.
And he plans to take himself to see his boss "tomorrow".
It’s tomorrow again!
Tomorrow after tomorrow, how many tomorrows there are!
What's more, there is no tomorrow in this future world. Big Face Cat has written himself a blank check that can never be cashed.
"No, I have to see the boss today."
Lin Xian was very determined and held the drumstick of the roast chicken tightly:
"I am very confident in my skills. Take me to see the boss today, and I can participate in gang activities tonight."
"It's really not possible today, brother!
What time is it!" Big Face Cat slapped Lin Xian's hand:
"Let go of my son's drumstick!"
"Oh, brother, don't be so nosy. Since your brother said that I will take you to see the boss tomorrow, I will take you there tomorrow even if the sky falls! Why are you panicking? Really..."
However!
Lin Xian tightly grasped the chicken leg, and it was about to tear it apart:
"Brother Lian, just take me with you. If the boss is not satisfied with me, I will turn around and leave without entanglement. Is that okay?"
"I will never waste your time. No matter how the boss evaluates me, as long as the results are not up to standard, I will leave without saying a word!"
The skin of the chicken leg has been torn!
The white meat began to break apart...it was about to collapse!
"Okay, okay, okay, okay! Oh, shit, I really admire you! Let go, let go! Can't I take you there!"
Lin Xian smiled slightly and let go of the chicken leg.
Big Face Cat hung the roast chicken on the handlebars of the motorcycle while cursing, pointing at Lin Xian:
"It's agreed, if the boss doesn't agree to your participation in the event tonight, don't talk too much, hurry up and go home with me. I'll say more good things to you in the future, and strive to make up for the exam. Let's send the roast chicken home to my son first."
"Understood, don't worry, brother Lian."
Lin Xian sat on the back seat of the motorcycle smoothly.
What a joke!
Erzhuzi's bamboo pole that peeked at the eldest sister-in-law, and Sanpang's idiot can all pass the boss's assessment... How is he not better than them in flying over the eaves and walking on the walls?
If he can't even pass the boss's assessment, then all these years of dreaming are in vain.
When I meet the boss and join the secret operation at night, I will naturally know where the book "Introduction to the Cosmological Constant" came from.
As long as I get another copy of "Introduction to the Cosmological Constant", I can lock the name, photo, work unit, place of origin and other information based on the author information on the book cover... Then, I can find him in the real 2023 and ask him everything about the cosmological constant 42!
Although this method is a little troublesome...
But it is much simpler than sneaking into Xindonghai City alone to find Big Face Cat's father, and it is not difficult to achieve.
He is really curious:
"Which genius..."
"Can write "Introduction to the Cosmological Constant" 600 years ago?"
...
Squeak————
Big Face Cat's shaky motorcycle stopped in front of a courtyard.
Green tiles, red walls, and paulownia doors, full of a sense of wealth.
I can't see the layout of the courtyard...but just looking at the exaggerated area, it is enough to imagine how luxurious the buildings inside are.
In this poor little village, this huge courtyard is particularly out of place, just like the Forbidden City in the slums.
"Brother, that's our boss."
Big Face Cat got off the car and pointed at the middle-aged man who was watering the flowers in the neat and clean courtyard.
Dressed in a brocade gray robe, he has the air of a scholar with a fairy-like style.
He pulled Lin Xian into the gate and shouted:
"Boss! I've brought my new little brother to see you."
The man watering the flowers picked up the kettle, turned around with a smile, gentle and majestic, like a spring breeze.
Lin Xian raised his head...
He never expected to see this face here!
"Li Cheng?"
