Chapter 1391: Chapter 44 Entanglement

Lin Xian and VV stared into each other’s blinking eyes, neither speaking a word.

VV is the trash can robot of this era; naturally, it wouldn’t be subjected to Forced Evasion, and no one can control its mouth, allowing it to speak freely.

But even in this situation…

VV still refuses, and Zhao Yingjun doesn’t allow it to speak out, which means—

[What they are concealing together is very important temporal and spatial information. Once exposed prematurely, it will inevitably cause a shift in the world line… or act against their own future plans.]

Therefore, they intend to keep it hidden along with “Yu Xi’s letter” from themselves.

“I understand now.”

Lin Xian nodded:

“It’s the same as the letter Yu Xi wrote to me, right? Or rather, these two matters are actually one, all written in ‘Yu Xi’s letter’. ”

“However, you hinted before that Yingjun didn’t plan to always keep the letter Yu Xi wrote to me from me. So when will you actually let me see it?”

VV turned its head back, watching the moonlight pass swiftly in front of the fighter jet, its eyes blinking twice:

“When it’s time for you to see it, I will naturally show it to you.”

…

Back at Rhein University, the roundtable meeting resumes.

VV, as the powerful combat robot, naturally has its place at the table.

But it’s just too heavy; no one can lift it onto a chair; moreover, a wooden chair couldn’t support its Hafnium Alloy tonnage.

So.

Helplessly.

VV still has to stand on the ground for the meeting, stubbornly proving its presence as the trash can barely higher than the tabletop.

“Where’s Gao Yang?”

Lin Xian looked around but didn’t see the familiar chubby figure:

“This is the first formal meeting after hibernation awakening; shouldn’t we call him? I’ve suddenly realized that Gao Yang has never attended these secret meetings.”

Although Gao Yang’s intelligence is limited, he has at least accompanied Lin Xian across 500 years of time and space. He shouldn’t be isolated.

“He doesn’t come by himself.”

Liu Feng spread his hands:

“Gao Yang says the things we discuss are too profound; he could follow the thoughts before, but now he doesn’t even understand, so he just doesn’t come, focusing on taking up the position of Rhein University’s security chief.”

“Actually, Gao Yang is a pretty good person.”

VV lifted its Hafnium Alloy clip and spoke:

“I see more than you all do; Gao Yang has always strived to help in whatever way he can. But he helplessly discovered that he seems only to add to the chaos and can’t actually help.”

“But, truth be told, Gao Yang’s loyalty to Lin Xian is unmatched; he indeed always thinks about Lin Xian. Initially, he planned to resign from his favorite job and go to space with Lin Xian, and later abandoned everything to hibernate to the future with Lin Xian.”

“He’s different from you, having no capabilities, hence no responsibilities or missions; yet he is still willing to fight for humanity’s future… Granted, saving Chu Anqing is his primary motivation, but the result is the same.”

Lin Xian waved his hand:

“Let him be, let him do what he wants.”

He and Gao Yang grew up together in the same residential compound, they know each other extremely well.

Just as Qin Xi said not long ago.

Those from the old era who came through hibernation always have a sense of void and loneliness in their eyes.

This brand new and flourishing world seems almost nothing to these Hibernators, like a ghost that shouldn’t be here.

What exactly can Gao Yang do?

Lin Xian isn’t sure.

No one is sure.

Gao Yang doesn’t have Liu Feng’s wild imagination, nor Gao Wen’s towering intellect, isn’t as knowledgeable as Du Yao and Jask, doesn’t possess VV’s omnipotence.

He’s a thoroughly ordinary person.

A person who should have been a salesperson in a 4S store, getting married and having children, living and dying in the 21st century.

Now this burden to save the world and the future is entirely because of Lin Xian, forced upon the little chubby guy.

So, just let him be.

“Every great story in history includes a remarkable fat person.”

Lin Xian concluded:

“Maybe Gao Yang will also have his moment in the spotlight.”

“Alright, let’s not talk about him, let’s continue with the meeting that was interrupted previously, and report on the state of this era.”

…

Liu Feng and Gao Yang’s long report continued until dawn.

Overall, there wasn’t anything particularly surprising or delightful for Lin Xian.

Technology has indeed progressed, but there’s been no revolutionary development.

In the cutting-edge fields, humanity has suffered many setbacks, wasting enormous resources and time due to misguided directions.

Controlled nuclear fusion and spacecraft capable of leaving the Solar System have been achieved.

But the planets outside the Solar System suitable for human habitation are far too distant, factoring in the long acceleration and deceleration times, it would take at least a thousand years to start.

The universe is vast, and humans are small.

A journey of over a thousand years, even with hibernation warehouses for slumber, who can ensure the spacecraft itself and its various internal systems and electronic devices won’t encounter issues?

Interstellar travel is inherently a complex discipline; boundless investments often don’t yield an inch or fragment of results.

Moreover.

For citizens of countries worldwide, they prefer life on Earth and are content with everything they currently have; interstellar travel is essentially an empty proposition with no real demand.

Regarding the universe constant, Liu Feng and Gao Wen have already found a method, calculating the final result as 42.

But.

It’s limited to that; there’s no way to delve deeper.

Because they completely don’t know why it’s 42, what 42 means, or the significance of 42… the research on the universe constant 42 has completely reached a dead end.
