Genius Club

Chapter 1373: Chapter 37: Unstable Millennium Stakes_2

Every time Lin Xian has even the slightest intriguing idea, Emperor Gao Wen over there immediately considers the atmosphere:

“I was just thinking the same thing.”

“Perhaps the reason for the arrival of the World-Ending White Light is to complete the last drive of the Millennium Stakes.”

“Like we just analyzed, in the eyes of the ‘Mysterious Power’, we are like ants, they simply don’t care about us. They don’t care about our survival or destruction at all.”

“Human civilization is so insignificant, it holds neither value nor threat to the ‘Mysterious Power’, and perhaps its only purpose… is merely to provide a survival environment for the Millennium Stakes to lock history.”

“So, since after a long time and dozens of drives, the Millennium Stakes have become unstable, and the last Millennium Stake CC has also ‘failed all over’ and ‘cannot dissipate by itself’, then it must be manually driven through forced dissipation.”

Gao Wen paced with his hands behind his back:

“But it is hard to believe that in just a few hundred years, with merely dozens of drives, the Millennium Stakes would become unstable… It’s a bit too fragile, isn’t it?”

“Even for us humans, a few hundred years is not too long, let alone from a cosmic or temporal perspective. A few hundred years is but a drop in the ocean, is it really meaningful to lock in such a short period of history?”

Liu Feng shrugged his shoulders:

“Uh, let me interrupt for a moment.”

He cleared his throat twice:

“Both of your ideas are great and imaginative, but… to put it simply, these are your imaginations. I don’t deny that there is a significant possibility that these imaginations might be correct, but some evidence is needed to substantiate them, right?”

“Without evidence, relying solely on imagination, we can neither determine the truth nor find the root cause to address it.”

“For example, the issue Gao Wen just raised about ‘a single Millennium Stake can only lock history for a few hundred years’ is indeed contradictory, making it seem like this technology is really low-level, without any mysterious or powerful aura at all.”

Lin Xian stood up and waved his hand:

“Having bugs and contradictions is normal. What we need now is [ideas] and [direction], so we can gradually correct mistakes during the verification process and approach the real answer.”

He walked to the electronic blackboard.

He clicked to clear the screen, erasing all the words Liu Feng wrote, then picked up the electronic chalk and twirled it between his fingers:

“Now, having traveled to 1952 and gotten a basic understanding of the Genius Club; it seems we’ve made pretty good progress so far.”

“Though many truths and answers remain elusive, at least we have ideas and direction, and compared to 200 years ago when we were like headless chickens, our strength and advantage are now much greater.”

“I believe that in the upcoming time, we should adopt multiple approaches to gradually solve problems, primarily focusing on the following three objectives.”

Tat tat tat.

The electronic chalk began to dance on the electronic blackboard as Lin Xian wrote and said:

“You could say these are our three main [tasks] for the next stage.”

Quick as a flash.

He finished writing the three lines, stepped aside to let Gao Wen and Liu Feng see:

1, Understand the truth about the World-Ending White Light.

2, Continue researching the secret of the cosmic constant 42.

3, Find Newton and Galileo, stop their plans, and change the world line.

“These are our tasks ahead.”

Lin Xian pointed to the first line and said:

“At present, regarding the World-Ending White Light from my dreamscape, there are still many unresolved mysteries; Einstein can’t see it, and I can’t prove it, along with the fact that if the speed of the World-Ending White Light is the speed of light… we have no way to detect it beforehand.”

“The fastest speed in the universe is the speed of light; the moment we see the white light is the moment it arrives, making it impossible to observe it in advance, and naturally, we can’t uncover the truth about the white light.”

“However, whether or not this white light actually exists, it must be inextricably linked to the Millennium Stakes; perhaps after uncovering the World-Ending White Light, we can reveal the final veil of the Millennium Stakes!”

Gao Wen and Liu Feng nodded, exchanged glances, both looking quite helpless:

“You’ve already spelled out the answer, Lin Xian; the speed of light is unsurpassable, and we have no way to observe the white light in advance, so how should we investigate it?”

“The only one who can see the white light is you, but even for you, you can only witness it at the very last moment before leaving the dreamscape, without a chance to do anything.”

“Don’t worry.”

Lin Xian shook his head:

“Regarding the issue of the World-Ending White Light, there’s no need for you two to worry, I’m going to assign this task to Jask.”

“As it happens, I need to make a trip to Mi Country in a couple of days, and at that time I’ll have an in-depth discussion with Jask. In the field of astronomy and the universe, it’s Jask’s area of expertise, he should have some methods.”

“Even if there’s no method, it doesn’t matter; this in itself is a long-term battle spanning the river of time, and we still have a very long time ahead of us… There are still 400 years until 2624; surely we’ll think of something.”

“First and foremost, we have to find a way to verify whether the white light really exists. It’s quite frustrating to say this; while Einstein’s view of the future is false, it doesn’t guarantee that the World-Ending White Light I saw is real.”

“For the sake of rigor, we need to find a way to verify if the white light really exists; I’ll take this task on myself. You two should focus your energy on the second task.”
