The real killer at 00:42 was actually the Genius Club, and Ji Xinshui and the others were rely making a clumsy imitation of this manner of killing.
According to Lin Xian’s speculation,
the parents of Ji Lin and the father of Big Face Cat were likely all killed by the Genius Club.
They shared a common identity—
[Mathematicians].
Therefore, Lin Xian reached an unverified conclusion.
Could it be that the true targets of the Genius Club were only mathematicians, and the killing of other scientists was actually Ji Xinshui’s own judgnt?
This hypothesis isn’t guaranteed to be accurate, but, as it stands, there is so evidence to support it.
First of all, the Genius Club indeed has a connection to the mysterious number 42, the universal constant.
...
They kidnapped Big Face Cat’s father in the second dreamscape, very likely due to their fear of this number.
And the cosmological constant is, obviously, a mathematical issue.
So…
even though Seven Sins are now almost entirely dead, Liu Feng is also a mathematician who studies the cosmological constant.
His crisis is far from over, and he doesn’t even know who his enemy is.
Therefore, it’s better to be cautious.
About the matter of the universal constant 42, aside from himself and Liu Feng, Lin Xian does not allow a third person to know.
…
After Liu Feng got into the business vehicle, the vehicle’s doors closed, and it headed towards East Sea University.
Upon entering the campus smoothly, they arrived in front of a brand new laboratory building.
Lin Xian led Liu Feng out of the car, and while walking towards the big door of the laboratory building, he began introducing:
“This is the lab I’ve prepared for you.
This building itself was just completed last year by East Sea University and hasn’t been put to use yet, everything inside is brand new.”
“The Rhein Company that I just established has entered into a collaboration with East Sea University.
I won’t go into detail with you about the specifics, but in short…
generally speaking, we ca out at a loss, but there was no helping it.
How else would East Sea University be willing to let us have this new laboratory building?”
“Just offering money wasn’t enough.
Chu Shanhe also stepped in to coordinate.
He promised that he would build another laboratory building for East Sea University, more luxurious and with more advanced equipnt than this one.
Consequently, East Sea University agreed to let us have this laboratory.”
The two arrived at the door of the laboratory, and Lin Xian pointed to a plaque beside it—
East Sea University and Rhein Company Joint Laboratory.
“It says ‘joint,’ but basically it’s all handed over to us.
Just focus on your research here.
There are many rooms inside, not just laboratories, but also offices, a resource room, a storage room, and even single-person dormitories.
If you want to be imrsed in research, staying here will suffice.”
“Also, the list you provided earlier, ntioning the high-end equipnt you needed, I’ve already purchased them for you.
They’ll continue to be installed in succession…”
Recently, after the founding of Rhein Company, Lin Xian had contacted Liu Feng to ask exactly what level of laboratory and what kind of equipnt he needed.
Liu Feng was a straightforward person.
Upon hearing Lin Xian’s polite remark of “money is no object,” he really took Lin Xian for soone who was not short on cash and briskly wrote out three full pages of laboratory equipnt…
so of which were pricey and not easy to acquire.
But in the end, Lin Xian didn’t say a word and began preparations directly.
In fact, according to his original expectations, researching the cosmological constant should not cost much.
Think about Big Face Cat’s father in the second dreamscape…
He had thoroughly researched the cosmological constant right in a slum!
A ragged book, oh no, it can’t be called ragged, as it was after all Liu Feng’s work “Introduction to the Cosmological Constant”.
Then add in so scrap paper, after more than a decade of research, Cat Dad had figured out the cosmological constant and seed to understand the true aning of 42, which was why he ended up being targeted by the Genius Club.
In contrast, the equipnt Liu Feng requested was indeed very high-end and costly.
However…
Every scientist has different research approaches and thodologies, one cannot generalize.
Just because Big Face Cat’s father could create the cosmological constant with his bare hands didn’t an Liu Feng possessed the sa skill.
There are specialties within professions, and knowledge has its order; all roads lead to Ro.
Lin Xian decided that as an amateur, he should not guide the professional and let Liu Feng play to his strengths.
In the end, it’s just spending more money.
With 40 billion in hand, as long as Liu Feng doesn’t ask for a particle collider, he could afford it.
Besides,
Big Face Cat’s father did eventually achieve results, but it took him over a decade or two.
Lin Xian couldn’t wait for such a long ti.
If spending more money and equipping more devices could accelerate Liu Feng’s research on the cosmological constant, it would still be a good deal for Lin Xian.
After all, money can be earned again, but ti cannot be compressed.
“Oh, didn’t you say you had a new invention to show ?”
After showing Liu Feng around the entire laboratory building, the two arrived in a spacious laboratory, and Lin Xian raised the question:
“Did you bring it?”
Liu Feng nodded and took out a foam box from his backpack.
He carefully opened the foam box and took out sothing resembling an electronic clock.
Rectangular, placed horizontally on the table, the base had a clear electronic screen displaying illuminated yellow digits.
However…
this device was likely not an actual clock.
Because the digits displayed on its screen weren’t the usual continuously changing six digits of hours:minutes:seconds.
Instead, it was a motionless row of zeros—
[0.0000000]
Including the zero in front of the decimal point, there were a total of eight zeros.
