Chapter 1122: Chapter 23 Is That It?_4

Indeed.

Lin Xian gave a dry laugh.

Liu Feng is just like that, a person who sees arithmetic sequences as truth, always able to complete correct reasoning through numerous inconceivable processes…

That is to say.

The process is all wrong, but surprisingly, the outcome turns out to be correct.

Perhaps, this is Liu Feng’s greatest gift.

But for scientific research, this kind of luck is indispensable.

In the face of known things, experience is more useful than luck; but when facing the unknown, luck outweighs everything.

“Then let me ask the question differently.”

Lin Xian said:

“If we exclude my scientist friend’s guess, then in normal circumstances, when would humankind discover space-time particles, invent the time shuttle machine, and conduct time travel… What would be the earliest time that we could discover the fact that space-time particles can be energized?”

“That would be after the invention of the time shuttle machine and the actual realization of time travel.”

Gao Wen answered without hesitation:

“Just like Big Face Cat’s father, Chen Heping, and I, after researching for so many years, never considered the problem of space-time particles being able to be energized… Even if we were given two space-time particles devoid of energy early on, we would probably still find it difficult to discover this fact.”

“But, with actual experimental data from true time travel using space-time particles, one could probably come up with this conjecture.”

So that’s how it is.

Lin Xian stroked his chin.

In that case…

It may still be some time before Copernicus realizes that space-time particles can be energized. The most optimistic estimate, according to what Gao Wen said, would be after the time shuttle machine is invented in 2234, that we might come to know this.

But we can’t be complacent.

We can’t rule out the possibility that Copernicus learned about this knowledge point ahead of time during a Genius Club query.

And once he knows about this knowledge point, once he knows that the corpses of space-time particles are valuable as well… The little fridge in the East Sea University laboratory is destined to be in grave danger.

It is better to find a way to hide it.

Where to hide it?

Honestly, Lin Xian doesn’t feel safe hiding it anywhere.

Because space-time particles are observable, as long as one has a space-time particle detector, even if you hide it at the bottom of a volcanic vent in the sea, it would still be detected.

This is a real headache…

Even if you hide it in a Tem Bank safe deposit box, or in a national secret warehouse.

But none of these are absolutely secure.

If Jask can have undercover agents around him, who can guarantee that Copernicus won’t bribe or turn the staff inside the secret warehouse?

“No, that won’t work.”

Lin Xian shook his head:

“We have to rely on ourselves.”

Of course.

The most reliable way is still the one he previously thought of, using entangled state space-time particles to conduct a time travel, completely consuming it, leaving empty-handed, without any concerns.

Just a pity…

This Astatine-339 is just too unreliable, as it can only be observed in 2077 and would only reach Earth in 2234.

We must think of other methods:

“Hopefully… the miraculous Einstein will provide an answer that satisfies me.”

…

More than ten days later, August 1, early morning, 00:20

Zhao Yingjun looked at Lin Xian sitting in the mahogany chair in the study, leaning against the chair back, fiddling with his VR glasses.

“Are you going to a meeting?”

Lin Xian nodded:

“The gathering has rules; no noise or sound can be made, all mobile electronic devices must be on silent. I’ll give you your phone, you can watch it in the living room, and if any calls come through, just answer. If there’s any emergency, come over and squeeze my hand to notify me.”

Zhao Yingjun nodded, took Lin Xian’s phone, left the study, and closed the door behind her.

Bang.

The door closed tightly.

Lin Xian put on his VR glasses, holding the Genius Club’s golden badge in his right hand, taking a deep breath:

“The second gathering of the Genius Club…”

“What kind of questions will these geniuses ask this time?”
