Chapter 1108: Chapter 19: Flowering in Desperation_3
“So, your idea is very good and clever. But… Astatine-339 cannot react with any material in this universe, and thus cannot beco a compound or ion. Therefore, your conjecture is entirely unfeasible.”
…
…
This ti.
Inside the Underground Laboratory, a lengthy silence ensued.
Lin Xian was indeed at his wit’s end.
He had thought of every possible thod but still couldn’t use the Ti Shuttle Machine to bring Astatine-339 back to the year 2024.
It wasn’t just him who had thought about it.
Gao Wen and Chen Heping must have also conducted many experints over the years, which is why the usually ticulous Gao Wen could so decisively conclude that a Ti Machine could definitely not be produced in 2024.
So.
There really…
Is no way out?
Seeing Lin Xian and Gao Wen in silence.
CC looked to the left and to the right, then walked over to Lin Xian and said:
“Although I don’t really understand what you guys are talking about, there’s no ti left now, and there’s sothing I must report to you.”
She lifted her wristwatch to show Lin Xian the ti displayed on it.
00:39
Obviously, the dream was about to end.
Ever since Lin Xian’s return, he had been discussing space-ti particles and the Ti Shuttle Machine problem with Gao Wen, so she really hadn’t had the chance to speak much with Lin Xian.
And now, if she didn’t speak, there would be no other chance.
CC lowered her wrist and looked at Lin Xian:
“Although tomorrow… that is, your tomorrow, you will co to find , to ask questions. However, considering that your ti is quite limited, I should still tell you first.”
“Lin Xian, in this era, I have searched the entire Donghai City and still haven’t found Tem Bank, nor any clues about the safes.”
“The super catastrophe of 2400 has really buried everything. I also can’t distinguish whether Tem Bank closed down before 2400 or whether… it was leveled along with the forr Donghai City during the super catastrophe of 2400, with the safes being swept into the sea or buried underground.”
“In any case, through these few dream observations, I feel that in order to find your safe in the year 2624, we must first stop the super catastrophe of 2400. If we do not prevent this disaster, I’m afraid… it will really be difficult to find the safe at this point in ti.”
Lin Xian nodded:
“Indeed.”
That was his thinking as well.
The safes are becoming increasingly difficult to find, but in the end, it was the super catastrophe of 2400 that caused a break in civilization and history.
The new cities built by humans now cover the site of the old Donghai… Whether those Hafnium Alloy Safes are buried underground or swept into the sea, they are all too hard to find.
The one who tied the bell must be the one to untie it.
Upon looking at it this way, all problems point to the instigator of the super catastrophe of 2400.
Is it…
Galileo?
Lin Xian recalled the question Galileo posed to Einstein during the Genius Club eting in the early hours of yesterday:
“When specifically is the next astronomical revolutionary discovery or ground-breaking breakthrough?”
At that ti, Einstein replied without hesitation:
“March 27th, 2077.”
At the ti.
Everyone present, including Lin Xian, probably thought it was an ordinary, insignificant question.
But now looking back, it was Galileo’s “perfect question”!
He hid his true intentions and what he really wanted to know behind such a seemingly nonsensical query.
No one knew what he wanted to ask, nor did they understand what Einstein’s answer implied.
But Galileo.
Had already acquired the most valuable intelligence he desired!
Just now, Gao Wen had confird.
On March 27th, 2077, human astronors first observed the cot with an abnormal spectrum, gravity, and trajectory from outside our space-ti.
A revolutionary discovery, a subverting breakthrough.
This cot absolutely deserves this honor.
At that ti, the astronomical community might have been full of expectations for this cot, with countless people eagerly awaiting it to grace Earth a hundred years later.
However, Gao Wen also ntioned earlier.
That the extraterrestrial elents on it are worthless and do not interact with any material, so by 2234, after waiting for this cot for over a century, humanity will likely be greatly disappointed.
But!
So people are very excited!
Those who understand the principles of space-ti travel and who wish to create Ti Shuttle Machines!
They are incredibly thrilled, truly welcoming the dawn of the space-ti travel era!
Just like…
Galileo.
He made everyone think that he had asked an inconsequential astronomical question.
But essentially, this question wasn’t about astronomy at all, rather it aligned with the question asked by Copernicus – both were about the Ti Shuttle Machine!
With this thought.
Lin Xian couldn’t help but inhale sharply.
It seed like…
He had misunderstood sothing.
Last night, Copernicus had asked Einstein:
“If I want to build a Ti Shuttle Machine to send Ti Travelers back to past eras… who should I turn to? The closer the better.”
Einstein’s response was:
“Refusal to answer, question opportunity voided.”
This ant…
The answer to Copernicus’s question lay among the mbers of the Genius Club present!
At that ti…
Lin Xian was terribly uneasy, knowing full well that he himself was the answer, with the Ti Shuttle Machine manuscript in his drawer.
Then he also put on a very convincing performance, looking around with everyone else, pretending to be just as curious.
But now…
He had thought it through…
The reason Einstein refused to answer had nothing to do with him! Maybe it wasn’t related to him at all!
The reason was simple.
The manuscript in his drawer was wrong!
In Gao Wen’s words, if Chen Heping hadn’t corrected his mistake, even with a hundred Space-Ti Particles, he couldn’t have created a Ti Shuttle Machine based on that manuscript alone.
So…
How could Einstein possibly refuse to answer the question because of the flawed manuscript he had?
He is all-knowing and omnipotent.
He would naturally know that the manuscript in his own drawer was wrong, so how could he make a reckless statent?
Yet he indeed refused to answer.
This ant that the answer to Copernicus’s question did indeed involve a mber of the Genius Club!
Thinking of this…
Lin Xian took a deep breath…
And since the person involved in the answer wasn’t himself, it must be one of the other mbers. Combining this with the question Galileo asked, it goes without saying—
[In the era of 2024, the person who truly mastered the Ti Shuttle Machine technology wasn’t himself! It was Galileo!]
“This is all too scheming.”
Lin Xian couldn’t help but sigh.
The geniuses of the Genius Club indeed were all exceptionally shrewd.
Especially Galileo.
He had kept it so close to his chest.
He took a step forward, walking to the center of the Underground Laboratory, gazing at the majestic Ti Shuttle Machine.
Raising his right hand, he caressed it gently.
Alas…
It’s really hard to let go, isn’t it?
The Ti Shuttle Machine was right before his eyes, within reach, yet he couldn’t use it, nor could he take it back to 2024.
The longing for sothing so out of reach indeed filled him with lancholy and regret.
200 years later…
Lin Xian closed his eyes in despair.
Really…
Must one wait 200 years to use the Ti Shuttle Machine?
Really…
Is there truly no other way?
…
Hmm?
Suddenly.
Lin Xian opened his eyes.
That’s not right.
From Lin Xian’s intellect and understanding, this indeed seed to be a lost cause, a dead-end with no hope or solution;
To the likes of Gao Wen and Chen Heping, such towering figures as the Human Emperors, this was similarly an unresolvable dead-end with no way to obtain Astatine-339 in advance.
But!
Whether it was himself or Gao Wen and Chen Heping, their perspectives were all limited, and from the viewpoint of ti and history, all three were frogs in a well.
However…
There is one person who is different.
He is all-knowing and omnipotent!
He might see other solutions!
Thinking of that brooding and profound Mask, Lin Xian smiled slightly:
“Why… not ask the miraculous Einstein?”
