Genius Club

Chapter 1369: Chapter 36 Gao Wen’s Ultimate Reasoning

"I see."

Rhein University, in a small conference room, Liu Feng rubbed his chin and nodded.

In the meeting room, there were only Lin Xian, Gao Wen, and Liu Feng.

Just a moment ago.

After Lin Xian hurried to Mi Country and then rushed back to Donghai City, he gathered Liu Feng and Gao Wen to share his experiences from 1952, the Genius Club, and the disappearance of Einstein, asking the two advisors to help analyze.

There’s a saying: "Three men make a tiger," so even three laymen together can surpass a genius like Zhuge Liang.

Especially with a genius of Emperor Gao Wen’s caliber participating, perhaps they could truly uncover some overlooked blind spots.

...

After listening attentively, Liu Feng stood up and looked at Gao Wen, who was also deep in thought:

"Professor Gao, this information is quite substantial; I suggest rearranging it chronologically. What do you think?"

Gao Wen felt flattered:

"Prof. Liu, please go ahead! I will follow your lead!"

Liu Feng, in the midst of a brainstorm, was not modest anymore. He walked to the electronic blackboard, picked up the electronic chalk, and wrote down a year—

1952.

"According to Lin Xian’s space-time travel experiences, 1952 is the origin of all the inexplicable events."

"It should have been an ordinary and normal year in human history, but because Einstein calculated the universe constant with the answer 42, two space-time particles tore through the fabric of space and time, arriving in our world, completely altering the history and future of the next several centuries."

"One of these two space-time particles created the Millennium Stakes; the other rendered Einstein immortal, thus facilitating the formation of the Genius Club."

"It is worth mentioning that the original intent of the Genius Club was good; it was established by Einstein to save humanity’s future. But it was precisely this obsession of his that was exploited by the ’Mysterious Power,’ turning his good deeds into bad ones, and saving...actually became destroying, pushing human civilization step by step into a bottomless abyss."

Gao Wen nodded and continued to add:

"The matter of the Millennium Stakes can be analyzed later. For now, let’s focus on what happened to Einstein..."

"Why would calculating the result of the universe constant as 42 attract the attention of the ’Mysterious Power’ and prompt immediate intervention?"

"This suggests that, similar to nuclear deterrence and nuclear backlash, the ’Mysterious Power’ seems to fear the universe constant 42 as well, therefore setting up a feedback mechanism of sorts—"

"Once someone calculates the universe constant as 42, two space-time particles are immediately sent out; one to establish the Millennium Stakes and lock history, the other to control the genius who calculated 42, causing them to see a false future and prevent them from further uncovering the true nature of 42."

However.

Listening to Gao Wen’s analysis, Lin Xian shook his head:

"Gao Wen, there are three points in your thinking that don’t make sense—"

"1. If there is indeed a fear of the universe constant 42, simply killing Einstein, who calculated the universe constant, or even directly destroying the Earth, wouldn’t that be a simpler and more convenient solution? I believe that ’Mysterious Power’ which can manipulate space-time particles at will can more easily accomplish such destruction."

"2. There’s something you don’t know—the calculation of 42 was not unique to Einstein, but the only ones concentrated upon by the space-time particles were Einstein and the First Generation Pillar CC...since then, no one else has become immortal or seen a false future, and there has been no second Millennium Stake."

"3. According to your explanation, there is no strong correlation between the Millennium Stake mechanism and Einstein’s actions. But I find this unreasonable. Those two space-time particles appeared simultaneously, each fulfilling its role...it’s unlikely that their purpose is completely unrelated, isn’t it? I believe, given the role of these two space-time particles, they should complement each other; there must be a connection."

Knock knock knock.

Liu Feng tapped on the blackboard, showing Gao Wen and Lin Xian the lines he had just written:

"My thoughts align with Lin Xian’s; there surely is some critical logic we’ve overlooked. I’ve listed the key facts and unresolved mysteries of 1952 for us to consider together."

Lin Xian and Gao Wen turned to look at the text written on the blackboard:

[1, The second space-time particle was actually targeting Lin Xian, only accidentally striking the First Generation Pillar CC.]

[2, Huang Que said the Millennium Stakes’ role is to lock history. Facts also prove that history indeed began to lock from the moment the Millennium Stakes vanished.]

[3, Locking history and making Einstein see a false future, these are a set of moves by the ’Mysterious Power’ with potentially deeper connections.]

[4, One easily overlooked point, Newton and Copernicus have always been hunting scientists and mathematicians researching the universe constant 42. They probably know more clues about 42, but undeniably, these clues still originate from Einstein who saw a false future.]

[5, For the ’Mysterious Power,’ is locking history a higher priority? Or is preventing humans from calculating the universe constant 42 and grasping the truth of 42 a higher priority?]

[6, Although Einstein could speak about many things before, right after Lin Xian revealed Douglas’ identity, Einstein seemed to be forcibly triggered into Forced Evasion, what exactly is the reason behind this?]

[7, The ’Mysterious Power’ clearly has the ability to instantly annihilate humanity and Earth, so why go through such trouble indirectly? What is their goal? And what do they hope to achieve through this?]

...

These seven questions indeed touch upon core issues.
