Chapter 1398: Chapter 46 Hunter_2

"So, in order to maintain the stability of the world line and prevent it from leaping to other world lines again, the best way is not to do anything unnecessary and let history and the future continue to develop along their original tracks."

"Newton’s targets have always been those scientists and mathematicians; although it sounds harsh, in his view... killing you has no significance and only bears the risk of changing the world line, so why do such unnecessary things?"

Lin chuckled lightly and spread his hands:

"Killing me indeed holds no significance for Newton, only risks; but for me, killing Newton is of utmost importance."

"Newton has killed so many scientists, obstructed the progress of human technology, and led numerous cutting-edge fields into a dead end... he is the real sinner of human civilization."

Lin Xian turned around and looked at the black wooden chair on the high platform, corroded into dregs, which was once Einstein’s seat and where he turned into Blue Stardust and dissipated.

The old friends from the past are gone, but Einstein’s last look at Lin Xian still held a trace of remorse and hope for Douglas.

"What Einstein couldn’t accomplish, we will complete for him."

"Get ready for a big fight, VV!"

Lin Xian looked up at the ceiling, bright as the stars:

"It’s time to face the final enigma and truth, and reclaim the true future of humankind..."

...

Germany, Dresden City.

"Dr. Hans! Watch out!"

The female secretary, quick-witted, leaped forward, knocking Dr. Hans onto the nearby lawn.

That wasn’t enough.

She then rolled with Dr. Hans a few times, moving away from the original position.

BOOM!!!!

An out-of-control flying car descended from the sky, heavily crashing onto the spot where Dr. Hans originally stood.

Fortunately, these flying cars are powered by nuclear batteries, with casings made of Hafnium Alloy, posing no risk of explosion.

Advancements in materials science have also made the vehicles exceedingly sturdy, preventing them from breaking apart.

The only loss to the entire car was the deployed airbags and shattered car windows.

"Dr. Hans! Are you okay!"

The female secretary quickly got up and checked Dr. Hans up and down.

Fortunately.

No injuries.

Only then did the female secretary breathe a sigh of relief...

She hurriedly ran to check the out-of-control vehicle.

This was an unmanned flying car, with no driver or passengers inside.

This is very strange.

Generally, except for trucks, public transport vehicles, taxis, and city service vehicles like garbage trucks... it’s unlikely for a private car to run empty.

So, it was obvious!

[This was a deliberate murder attempt!]

"Dr. Hans, we should report this to the police immediately."

The female secretary turned to look at Dr. Hans, who was getting up from the ground:

"Such instances of self-driving car malfunctions are rare, and it’s clear... this is a premeditated murder attempt, and you were their target!"

The elderly Dr. Hans stood up, brushed the grass clippings off his clothes, and re-adjusted his glasses:

"No worries."

"The more this happens, the more it proves my research direction is correct."

Dr. Hans glanced at the failed murder attempt’s crashed car, then walked straight toward the meeting venue ahead:

"Let’s hurry, we don’t have time to waste here, everyone is waiting for my report."

The female secretary looked at the wrecked vehicle, then at Dr. Hans, who was already striding away...

Helplessly.

She could only bite her lip, staying vigilant while quickly following up:

"Dr. Hans, I urge you to reconsider the security plan I proposed last week. You are a world-class scientific leader, and your opinions impact development directions in multiple cutting-edge fields. If anything were to happen, it would be a loss for the entire human society!"

"I don’t like being surrounded by people."

Hans replied casually:

"Rest assured, the more people want me dead, it precisely proves that I am right."

"As you know, today’s cutting-edge scientific fields are developing slowly, even stagnating; many vested interests are deeply entrenched. They thrive on monopolies of old technologies and would be left behind if new technologies emerged and overtook them."

"This is why it has been difficult for technological fields to progress, with countless historical pieces of evidence showing that every time a new technology emerges, it leads to a business reshuffle, and the capitalists wish for scientific and technological stagnation, selling sewing machines all the way to doomsday."

"As you said, as a leader in multiple fields, if I were to retreat here or show fear towards them, who among my students and successors would dare to embody the fearless spirit of scientific research?"

"But..."

The female secretary pleaded:

"Security issues do not conflict with academic research..."

"Enough."

Hans waved his hand, cutting her off, and solemnly said:

"Do not mention this matter at today’s meeting; it’s very important, and the whole world is watching."

Shortly after.

Dr. Hans entered the conference venue.

His status is very high, ranking as one of the top even globally.

As soon as he stepped into the large conference room.

The sitting academic giants and authorities instantly fell silent, all standing to bow and greet Dr. Hans.

After seating, the conference began.

This was a global meeting deciding the developmental direction of the human sciences field.

Resources and talent are limited.

The world has so many disciplines, so many branches, and so many specific projects.

Especially for such world-class, global projects, it’s not something one country or even a few countries can manage; it requires global collaboration for development.
