Genius Club.

Chapter 479-Equality
Gaussian.

The reason why Lin Xian thought of the stuttering thin man at this time... was entirely because of the questions he asked at the Genius Club party and the answers given by Einstein.

When Lin Xian attended the party for the first time, the president, the man wearing an Einstein mask, asked each genius to introduce themselves in turn and explain what qualities they thought a genius should possess.

At that time, Gauss's answer was [equality].

He believes that people face huge inequality from the moment they are born, some people have low IQs, while others are as smart as geniuses.

but……

Isn't the most important thing for a smart and genius person to do to make the world as balanced and equal as possible?

Gauss's purpose, and his future plans, is to work towards creating a world where everyone is equal.

At that party, his question was:

“If we want to enhance human physical fitness, neural response, and brain activity, where should we start our research in 2024?”

Faced with this question, Einstein gave a negative answer, saying that it would be impossible to make a breakthrough in the field of genetic enhancement before 2100.

Looking back on this question now, perhaps what Gauss expected was... a negative answer.

think carefully.

Can mastering genetic enhancement technology really make the world equal?
Everyone is like a dragon?

That is impossible.

Perhaps, it will have the opposite effect and further widen the gap between the rich and the poor.

original.

The only difference between the rich and the poor is life and money. If genetic enhancement technology appears, the rich people in the future will be able to fly over rooftops and walls, and have great strength, just like the time and space killer, who can beat 100 ordinary people by himself.

Is this equal?

Obviously not.

As smart as Gauss is, it is impossible for him not to think of this, so what he expected from the beginning was a negative answer, or even... he definitely hoped that genetic enhancement would be as far away as possible.

At the second party.

Gauss asked another crucial question:

“[When will humans be able to completely improve their body resistance, so that they will not get sick, will not be infected by viruses, and can even cure all diseases and be immune to all viruses?]”

Based on this question, Lin Xian linked Gauss to be the culprit of the "hibernation-suppressing virus".

This question sounds like Gauss has great ambitions and hopes to achieve equality by making every human being healthy and free from disease.

But actually...

He is covering up.

While covering up, he took the opportunity to get the real answer.

When he asked this question, it meant that he had already planned to use the "hibernation-suppressing virus", but he disguised himself so well that everyone mistakenly believed that he was harmless and had no fighting power.

At that time, Einstein's answer was:
"Never possible."

"There is no virus that can never be conquered. Viruses, like humans, are constantly evolving and mutating."

"The good news is that the toxicity and transmissibility of almost all viruses will weaken over time and with the number of infections; the bad news is that new viruses will inevitably emerge during the process of transmission and reproduction."

Focus.

The key lies in Einstein's answer.

Although Einstein denied Gauss's theory, Gauss must have been secretly delighted in his heart.

he knows……

His virus will surely spread across the globe, and will remain active and prevent humans from hibernating until it loses its toxicity and transmissibility.

Looking back from our current God's perspective, Gauss's plan is really clear at a glance.

His original goal was to [Hibernate].

He always believed that

[Death is the most basic equality for human civilization, but the emergence of hibernation technology has broken this equality.]

In fact, Lin Xian also discussed this with Big Face Cat in the second dream.

There is an old saying that wealth cannot last for more than three generations.

No matter how great a genius, how powerful an elder, or how wealthy a tycoon is, there will always be a day when they die...

After these people die, power and wealth will be redistributed; even in the scientific research and academic circles, young scholars can only take over and gain the right to speak and the right to control after the old people who hold the right to speak have passed away.

But in the world after the hibernation capsule appeared, the most basic equality of death disappeared.

Just like in the fifth dream, Jask's SPACE-T company has ruled Mars for hundreds of years, and he should have been the world's richest man for hundreds of years.

This is a serious inequality. While Jask's brilliance has shone on the world for hundreds of years, countless young people who should have shined in history have been suppressed, become dim, and even unknown.

and so.

Gauss created the [Hibernation Suppression Virus].

He thought about it very carefully.

First of all, for the sake of equality, the virus he designed will not cause any harm to the human body. If you don’t sleep in a hibernation cabin, you will not be able to detect it at all, and it will not affect your health.

Secondly, the incubation period of this virus is as long as three months, which makes it impossible to guard against. In addition, it is harmless and non-reactive to the body... It is only a matter of time before it spreads to the world.

Finally, he always upholds equality, which naturally includes himself. So he set an example by being the first to be injected with the virus, voluntarily giving up the opportunity of hibernation and immortality, and choosing to die in the modern world according to the normal life span.

……

The more Lin Xian thought about it, the clearer his thoughts became.

What Einstein said was correct. This virus spread in the world for nearly 200 years before it finally became extinct because it lost its toxicity and transmissibility.

In 200 years, humans have completely bid farewell to hibernation technology and returned to normal society.

Perhaps according to Gauss's idea, he hoped that this virus could last for thousands or tens of thousands of years, or even that humans would never be able to conquer it.

But that's the way nature works.

As Einstein said, there is no virus that is effective forever, and there is no human being who can resist all viruses.

suddenly.

Lin Xian finally realized...

Why did Einstein say so categorically:
"The future will no longer change. All possibilities have disappeared. Now, this is... the only future."

He finally realized...

Why is the 0.0001764 world line so strong and the ninth dream can never be changed?

because--

[The 0.0001764 world line is the result of the joint efforts of several geniuses! The elasticity of space and time is of course extremely strong! ]

There is no mistake about this.

In the ninth dream, the super disaster in 2600 was clearly the work of Galileo;

Land motorcycles also prove that human technology is still stagnant, which is obviously a continuation of Copernicus' spirit;
In addition to the intelligence just learned, it is possible that the hibernation-inhibiting virus created by Gauss temporarily blocked hibernation between 2025 and 2219;
Perhaps in a place that I am not aware of, Big Brother Newton is also executing his plan...

Four geniuses, working together.

The result is the ninth dream, where humanity is on the verge of extinction!

"I see."

Lin Xian finally understood.

Why did Einstein specifically ask one-on-one questions at the last meeting?

I thought it was a benefit.

Unexpectedly, this was actually Einstein's method of maintaining the stability of the world line.

He would certainly not reveal who won the salvation game, because the victory was achieved by everyone together.

and so.

The best solution is...

Let every genius think that he has won!
In this way, they will be able to wait for a better future unwaveringly in the following decades or hundreds of years.

pity.

It's all fake.

The future that Einstein saw was false. He was inadvertently leading geniuses in the wrong direction and pushing human civilization towards a destructive future.

"Einstein, what on earth happened to you?"

Lin Xian frowned.

I truly understand what it means when the upper beam is crooked, the lower beams will be crooked.

Wait.

Lin Xian suddenly thought of a possibility that was extremely terrifying when he thought about it carefully.

white light.

【White light of destruction】

Until now, he still doesn't know what the world-destroying white light at 00:42 is.

However, no matter which dream it was, there was no exception—

Humankind has never been aware of or prepared for the coming of the white light of destruction, and each time they are destroyed peacefully in ignorance.

In Einstein's reply to Jask, there was also no mention of white light, and he also said that at 2624 a.m. on August 8, 29, there were more than 10 million people bustling in the East China Sea.

This is simply impossible!

Lin Xian narrowed his eyes...

Try to connect three key clues:
1. Einstein could not see the disappearance of the Millennium Pillar in 1952, nor could he see the white light of destruction in 2624.

2. The arrival time of the world-destroying white light is very coincidental. It is exactly the time when CC, as a thousand-year-old pile, should turn into blue stardust and dissipate.

3. If it is possible for humans to prevent the arrival of the white light of world destruction, then in the ninth dream, in the future where all humans are extinct, this possibility is 0; and this is exactly what Einstein said is the best future, and he wants to lock this world line.

For now.

Millennium Pile, World-Destroying White Light, and Einstein… These are three highly bound together combinations, and there must be inextricable connections between them.

Lin Xian couldn't understand what the specific connection was.

But he always had a hunch -

[If we figure out the truth about the Millennium Pile, we can save Chu Anqing, and then we can stop the arrival of the world-destroying white light and save the future of mankind.]

"possible."

The more Lin Xian thought about it, the more determined he became:
"It's really possible!"

"I did think before that the Millennium Pillar and the World-Destroying White Light should be related, but I couldn't find any evidence to link the two together. Now, this clue is becoming clearer and clearer."

"only……"

Lin Xian frowned and tightened his lips.

Now, there is no chance to consider such distant things. The current crisis is imminent.

He turned around and saw that Maimai was already reading "The Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor" in the light of the hibernation cabin, and was reading it with great interest and admiration.

So he picked up a sharp stone from the ground, used the wall as a blackboard, and scribbled on it:
On October 2024, 10, Gauss injected the hibernation-inhibiting virus into his body and officially began his "17-Year Life and Death Equality Plan."

On January 2025, 1, after a three-month incubation period, the virus in Gauss's body became contagious. He found an airport, port, dock, square, crossroads, etc. where people gathered and had high mobility... No matter where it was, he infected tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of travelers from all over the world within a single day.

On April 2025, 4, the virus in these tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of passengers passed its incubation period and began to spread explosively around the world. It took only one day for the hibernation virus to sweep the globe, and those infected with the virus could no longer hibernate in hibernation cabins.

Thus, the 200-year long "hibernation ban era" began. And today, the current date...

【It is April 2025, 4. 】

too late.

At this point, it's too late to do anything.

Gauss's move was indeed insidious, but also clever enough.

In the early days of hibernation technology, a virus that had no other harm except its inability to hibernate would not attract much attention.

For most people in the world today, hibernation is an optional technology.

If you can hibernate, you can try it. If you can’t hibernate, I don’t care at all.

There are only two types of people who really need to hibernate:

1. Patients with serious illnesses that cannot be cured.

2. People like Lin Xian, who have important missions and responsibilities.

But these two types of people together account for no more than 0.01% of the world's total population.

"There is one more thing I don't quite understand."

Lin Xian murmured:
"Maimai has proven that Gauss's hibernation-inhibiting virus can only last for 200 years... Does Gauss know about this?"

After thinking about it, Lin Xian nodded:
"He should know, after all, he created the virus himself; even if he didn't know, he could use this last opportunity to ask Einstein questions alone."

"But the question is... what's the point of 200 years of equality between life and death? 200 years is just a blink of an eye in the overall history of mankind. After 200 years, everyone can still hibernate, and the world will become unequal again. Doesn't Gauss care?"

"Two hundred years... is that enough time to satisfy Gauss?"

Lin Xian closed his eyes.

I thought about it for a few seconds.

feel.

I seem to understand a little bit.

"Could it be that Gauss... is coming for us?"

Lin Xian said in a deep voice:

"Two hundred years is nothing for human civilization, but it is devastating for the genius club."

"From Gauss's perspective, 200 years without the need for hibernation is enough to kill everyone in the genius club. Even Einstein, in his opinion, would be killed by time."

"Could it be that Gauss believes that the geniuses in the Genius Club are the biggest cause of inequality in the world? For example, Copernicus's indiscriminate killing of innocent people, Turing's digital life immortality, Jask's determination of the future direction of mankind, etc. Is it because so many geniuses interfere too much in the world that Gauss believes that these real culprits must be eliminated?"

……

Lin Xian shook his head.

Nowadays, there is no point in speculating on Gauss's purpose.

at this point.

It's too late to change many things.

and.

There is a more difficult and even more difficult problem waiting for him -

How to do?
He opened his eyes and fell into endless distress.

On April 4, this virus will infect the whole world, and naturally, it will also infect myself, Yingjun, and Xiao Yuxi.

If you can't sleep in the hibernation cabin.

So……

All the plans were in vain and came to nothing.

He cannot use the time machine to travel back to 1952;
Nor could they find clues to the Millennium Pile in 1952 and rescue Chu Anqing;

We are even more helpless and powerless in the face of the future of human extinction 600 years from now.

Can't save the future,

Can't stop the white light,

Unable to save An Qing,

Unable to change fate,

Unable to shake the world line...

The virus bomb that Gauss planted silently disrupted all of Lin Xian's future plans.

"How to do?"

Lin Xian couldn't think of an answer.

If he could enter the hibernation chamber before April 4, the previous plans could be implemented smoothly, but he would inevitably be forced to leave Yu Xi.

It is clearly written in the "Hibernation Manual" that the minimum hibernation age must not be less than 3 years old; in extreme cases, it must not be less than 1 year old; infants under 1 year old cannot enter the hibernation chamber under any circumstances.

Because the meninges of infants under one year old are not fully developed, the drugs in the hibernation chamber's filling fluid can penetrate into the brain, causing irreparable damage or even brain death.

But then again.

If you don't hibernate before April 4, it would be equivalent to giving up on saving the world, giving up on the future 17 years later, giving up on your promise to Chu Shanhe... and then accepting the reality and becoming an ordinary person who lives for the moment, a powerless person who enjoys as many days as he can.

This is a multiple-choice question.

too difficult……

The more Lin Xian thought about it, the more confused he became.

He walked up to Maimai:
"I want to ask, regarding the hibernation-inhibiting virus, is there any way to avoid infection? For example...how about isolating it in a sterile room?"

"it's useless."

Maimai raised her head from "Devouring the Devil Emperor":

"I really looked up a lot of information to write this novel. You have to believe me."

"During the 200 years when they couldn't hibernate, scientists certainly did a lot of experiments, including the sterile isolation you mentioned, but... it was useless. This virus is really too powerful. It can not only use humans as carriers, but also animals, plants, dust, insects, probiotics, fungi, etc., etc., etc., even other viruses, can become its carriers."

"Don't underestimate this virus. If there is a way to isolate it as you said, then humans wouldn't have to wait 200 years for the virus to lose its toxicity and transmissibility, right?"

"It's because they have tried all methods and there is really no other way, so humans choose to lie low and wait for the virus to eliminate itself. Well, actually... this matter is not as sensational as I wrote in my novel. Most people don't care about this virus at all."

Spreading her hands:
"If you can't hibernate, then don't hibernate. Is hibernation a very important thing? For example, I do expect to create a fantasy novel renaissance and achieve great things hundreds of years later, so I hibernate here."

"If I really get infected with the virus and can't hibernate... will I die? Anyway, this virus has no other side effects and has no impact on health. I will just stay in that era and continue to fight... It's not a particularly hopeless thing."

Lin Xian listened silently.

indeed.

He had just thought of this.

This is also Gauss's smartest point.

He used the virus to achieve his own goals, but made people completely indifferent to the virus. In this way... subtly and silently, he brought the most absolute equality of life and death to human society.

but.

His situation is different now...

He had clearly just promised Chu Shanhe that he would rescue Chu Anqing;

But he also promised Zhao Yingjun that he would never leave Yu Xi this time and would grow up with her.

In addition, Zhao Yingjun also told him repeatedly that history will not blame the powerless, but if one has the ability to save everything, he must shoulder this responsibility and obligation, do what ordinary people cannot do, and become a qualified leader and a qualified savior.

So now...what should I do?
[Save Chu Anqing and save the future of mankind] or [Accompany Yingjun and Yuxi to live a happy life]

in the end.

Which one to choose?
boom! ! ! ! !
boom! ! ! ! !
boom! ! ! ! !
00:42 A dazzling white light destroyed everything, evaporating everything in sight in an instant.

……

……

……

On the bed in the guest bedroom, Lin Xian opened his eyes.

He quickly got up and looked at the bedside clock:
2025年4月11日，00：42。

Another day missing.

There are only... 6 days left before Gauss's virus outbreak.

He walked out of the guest room, came to the living room and sat on the sofa.

But found out.

Zhao Yingjun was holding a cup of hot milk as she walked out of the kitchen and gently placed it on the coffee table.

"Why haven't you slept yet?" Lin Xian asked with concern.

"How could I not have slept?"

Zhao Yingjun smiled and said:
"I just woke up from a nap and was kicked awake by your daughter."

She touched her big belly with a loving look on her face:

"During this period, Xiao Yuxi's movements have been very violent, and she has been crying every night. It seems...she can't wait to come out and meet her parents in this world."

"After she kicked me awake, I looked at the time and it was immediately 00:42. I knew you were about to wake up, so I said I was going to the bathroom and then brought you the hot milk from the kitchen."

"But...what happened to you today?"

Zhao Yingjun tilted his head in confusion, looking at Lin Xian who looked a little upset on the sofa:

"In the past, after you woke up from the guest room, you always went directly to the study to summarize and analyze. Why did you come to the living room today? Could it be that... the progress in the dream was not smooth? Has the failed novelist Maimai recovered his memory?"

Lin Xian smiled and covered his forehead:

"How should I put it... All I can think of are the failed past events. Her editor said that she traveled through time 200 years ago to write a novel."

puff-

Zhao Yingjun was amused:
"What you said is really hurtful."

"Come to think of it... I was planning to tell you the good news tomorrow, but since you're awake, I'll tell you now to make you happy."

"What is it?" Lin Xian raised his head.

"It's my birthday~"

Zhao Yingjun smiled happily:
"Don't you want to know when your daughter's birthday is?"

"The doctor gave me a comprehensive checkup today. Xiao Yuxi is very healthy and developing very well. The fetal position is also very normal. There is no problem with normal delivery. She is really an angel baby."

"Also, after checking today, we were able to calculate the exact date of production."

Zhao Yingjun came over and sat on the sofa next to Lin Xian.

I took his hand and placed it on my bulging belly:

"Did you feel it? She kicked me again. She really couldn't help wanting to see us."

"Date of manufacture..."

Lin Xian swallowed his saliva:
"What number is it?"

"Hey, it's closer than you calculated before."

Zhao Yingjun smiled slightly and said softly:

"April 4th. That's...our daughter's birthday."
