Chapter 1359: Chapter 32: Return to the Owner
Year 2234, December 11, Rhein University, Secret Laboratory.
Dong.
The time shuttle machine that had just successfully launched a second ago suddenly made a muffled noise inside, causing Gao Yang, Gao Wen, and Liu Feng in the laboratory to be slightly stunned and look at each other in surprise.
“Huh? What’s going on?”
Gao Yang scratched his head:
“You two, there better not be any malfunction in this time shuttle machine! Did it successfully send Lin Xian back or not!”
“It definitely sent him off.”
Liu Feng quickly operated the display:
“At that moment, Lin Xian’s biological signal indeed disappeared, and the weight of the shuttle cabin decreased…”
Gao Yang hurriedly stepped forward and knocked on the shuttle cabin cover:
“Hey, hey, hey! Who’s inside? Are you a human or a ghost?”
Knock knock knock!
Three knocks came from inside the shuttle cabin, two long and one short, which was the agreed signal from the beginning.
“It’s Lin Xian! It’s Lin Xian!”
Gao Yang shouted excitedly, calling Gao Wen over:
“Quick, quick, quick, open this thing and let Lin Xian out. Really… how is it that he just traveled back to 1952 and already came back? What could he have accomplished in such a short time?”
Quickly, Gao Wen unscrewed the shuttle cabin cover and looked down to see Lin Xian’s feet.
Gao Yang and Gao Wen each grabbed a leg to help Lin Xian out of the cabin.
“Whoa!”
Gao Yang looked at his fair-skinned good buddy:
“Lin Xian, why aren’t you wearing any clothes! Where’s my otter skin!”
Lin Xian stood barefoot on the ground, rubbed his temples, recovering from the vortex of time travel:
“No idea where the otter skin went.”
“By the way, what’s the date and time now? I spent a whole week in 1952, how long has it been here in this world?”
The Hafnium alloy trash can robot VV slid over with a laboratory white coat:
“Trash! Trash! Detected trash!”
Meanwhile, its small display showed the current date and time.
Lin Xian took the white coat and put it on, then glanced at the display:
“This… Isn’t this the same time I left? I came back in just a second?”
Liu Feng nodded:
“Though it’s hard to explain, that’s the reality.”
“From your perspective, you might have experienced a real and complete week in 1952; but from our side… it felt like you just traveled away and immediately flashed back.”
“This indicates that the passage of time between us is not synchronized.”
Gao Yang circled around Lin Xian.
Checking if he was missing any limbs:
“Exactly, you said you finally got a chance to go back, why not stay a bit longer? Why come back so fast!”
“Fast?”
Lin Xian shook his head and smiled wryly:
“You have no idea, I almost couldn’t make it back! My kite string was just about to snap.”
Lin Xian’s words were no exaggeration.
At that time, Einstein confessed everything to Lin Xian, yet also posed many questions.
At that moment.
Lin Xian felt even his breathing was wrong, as if by breathing a little longer, Einstein could deduce clues from the lengths of breaths and thus change the world line.
The kite in the stormy wind teetered dangerously.
The kite string was on the verge of snapping, connected by just a thread.
Therefore.
Lin Xian did not hesitate at all.
He immediately decided to climb up along the kite string and return to the time of 2234.
Fortunately.
He escaped successfully and returned safely.
“Kite string?”
Gao Wen, Gao Yang, and Liu Feng looked at each other again, completely unable to understand what Lin Xian was talking about:
“What’s a kite string? What are you talking about?”
Lin Xian waved his hand:
“That’s not important, I’ll explain later.”
He looked up at Liu Feng:
“First, let’s confirm, have our entangled state of time-space particles been completely utilized?”
Liu Feng nodded.
He stepped forward and opened the sealed compartment of the time shuttle machine.
Everyone looked inside…
Nothing was there.
The entangled state of time-space particles, which were once intertwined, rotating, intense, and violent, had completely disappeared, leaving no trace.
“Good.”
Lin Xian breathed a sigh of relief:
“It seems our previous supposition was correct, due to the special nature of the entangled state of time-space particles, a complete round-trip must be made to completely consume them.”
“This also lays a lingering worry to rest, henceforth we won’t have to worry about any ‘Terminator’-type space-time travelers coming to assassinate us.”
Liu Feng nodded:
“So Lin Xian, did you complete all the tasks you planned before this time travel?”
Gao Yang was also curious and leaned in:
“Yeah, yeah, tell us, exactly where did you go? What did you do?”
Gao Wen was even more excited, rubbing his hands like a fly:
“Why don’t we find a conference room and, while your memory is fresh, quickly debrief and summarize everything, and reorganize the threads of various mysteries.”
Lin Xian shook his head:
“Let’s put those things aside for now, right now… I have more important things to do.”
“Gao Yang, prepare the fastest flight for me.”
Gao Yang looked puzzled:
“Rhein University itself has an airport, and we have plenty of planes, you can just take a private jet.”
“But the key is… you just traveled back, where are you in such a hurry to go?”
Lin Xian turned around.
Looking towards the distant ocean beyond:
“Mi Country.”
He said softly:
“Brooklyn!”
Whoosh————————
The small private plane took off from the internal airport of Rhein University, heading towards Mi Country at the fastest speed.
Gao Yang wanted to accompany Lin Xian, but Lin Xian refused.
He wanted to go see Einstein.
It was best for him to go alone.
When saying goodbye to Einstein in 1952, Einstein said he had gained the ability to foresee the future, obtained an immortal and ageless body, and also planned to use the underground bunker of the farm as a secret base.
