Genius Club

Chapter 323: Chapter 25: History Closed Loop (Extra for Alliance Leader Fran!) Chapter 323: Chapter 25: History Closed Loop (Extra for Alliance Leader Fran!) VV shook his head:

“I still don’t understand what you mean, unless you are a Space-Time Traveler, capable of traveling back to the world 600 years ago.

Of course, this is just a hypothesis, with no scientific theory to back up this experiment.”

Lin Xian smiled:

“It’s probably just as you imagine, but you don’t need to understand why, just do as I say.”

Lin Xian had just stood in front of the statue, watching Rhine Sky City descend from the sky, only then truly understanding Zhao Yingjun’s intention.

Even in this world, much of history is fabricated and false.

But in the long corridor of Zhao Yingjun’s personal exhibition hall, she still left herself some truly historical bits.

The most crucial year was—

2026.

That year, Zhao Yingjun hugged her Pomeranian named VV for the last time, bid farewell, and slept in the Hibernation Pod.

Lin Xian didn’t know whether Zhao Yingjun really had such a dog.

But he understood Zhao Yingjun’s “implication.”

He, before the year 2026, had already failed.

Although he didn’t know whom he had lost to, it was certain he had failed, had even died, no longer of this world.

Therefore, from the year 2026, Zhao Yingjun used her life as the price to design such a 600-year spanning puzzle, to leave a secret weapon capable of reversing defeat into victory for her past self, who was bound to meet her again in 600 years.

Lin Xian initially guessed what Zhao Yingjun’s gift could be.

For example.

Directly telling himself, who is the enemy?

Where is the enemy?

What exactly is the Genius Club?

And how to join the Genius Club?

If he were directly told the answers to these questions, then his present self in 2023 would certainly be able to turn the situation around, gaining a tremendous advantage in intelligence.

Only…

As he delved deeper into Rhine Sky City, Lin Xian also felt the predicament Zhao Yingjun faced.

She was not completely free.

Too specific information and clues definitely couldn’t be left for himself, otherwise, long before he discovered them, they would have been detected by the Genius Club.

Although she and the Genius Club were not enemies.

But still.

Whether it was building Rhine Sky City or creating the super AI VV, both were subject to very strict supervision and severe restrictions.

Lin Xian had reason to believe, the enemy pulling the strings behind the scenes was the Genius Club.

They deleted a lot of code from VV, also added many restrictions, not wanting to let this AI become more powerful.

However…

this also indirectly showed.

[The Genius Club fears VV becoming too powerful.]

Just like the cosmic constant 42.

Lin Xian currently didn’t know what the Genius Club was, nor how to join them, defeat them.

But in any case.

What they fear, he would seek it, possess it; this theory was certainly not wrong.

The reason Zhao Yingjun ultimately deceived the Genius Club wasn’t so much the intricate codes.

These codes had to run for over 200 years, only then on August 28, 2624, at 12:42:00 PM could they coincidentally generate a new set of instructions.

Let alone finding this nuance within the original VV’s 471.2 billion lines of code, even if it was found, so what?@@novelbin@@

What could be changed?

Just as now, both he and VV could only do the most significant thing, which is to let Rhine Sky City fall, that’s it.

Worldwide, there are hundreds, thousands of Sky Cities just like Rhine Sky City; even if he destroyed one, it wouldn’t change any game, as long as the Genius Club wished, they could still crush him, the insignificant ant.

The Genius Club of 600 years later was too powerful, fundamentally unbeatable.

But…

What about 600 years before?

If a super AI like VV belonged to him 600 years ago, and it had no foundational code restrictions, what kind of terrifying existence would it develop into?

Lin Xian trusted Zhao Yingjun’s judgment.

He also believed in the human world’s most excellent scientists, who had gathered a century’s wisdom.

VV.

It must possess abilities hundreds or even tens of thousands of times more powerful than the present; they just hadn’t been discovered yet.

It was worth the gamble.

Zhao Yingjun risked her life to give her failing self in this world a chance to turn the tables; how could he let them down?

After killing Ji Xinshui, Lin Xian didn’t know what Copernicus’s attitude towards him was.

However, seeing how easy it was to deceive Ji Xinshui…

Perhaps Copernicus didn’t meet with Ji Xinshui that often, didn’t communicate much, or consider him as close as kin.

But no matter what, the time left for him to grow stronger wasn’t much.

Even bringing VV back 600 years had certain risks of exposure.

He also wanted to take that gamble.

Zhao Yingjun trusted him so much that she sacrificed 600 years of time for him; how could he let her down?

Moreover, what made Lin Xian more certain was…

After hundreds of years of development.

VV was still based on binary.

That was a very thought-provoking point.

According to his understanding, humans hundreds of years later should no longer use binary computers.

So, any counterintuitive point had to be where the answer lies.

As long as VV’s programs run on a binary basis, then whether it’s 2624, 2023, or even 2999, it would run exactly the same.

“VV, you mentioned that your original version had 471.2 billion lines of code, but a large portion of the programming was to hide the existence of the last set of instructions in the name of security.

If all these cumbersome programs were removed, how many lines of code would you have in your most streamlined state?”
