Chapter 334: Chapter 29: The Heavenly Eye Chapter 334: Chapter 29: The Heavenly Eye Lin Xian put away his smile.

Looking down at the trash can:

“What do you mean?”

“This is how I analyze it, Lin Xian.” The trash can robot VV pivoted its tracks, circling around Lin Xian…

This action was obviously imitating Lin Xian’s pacing in place earlier:

“The mirror itself is something very pure, very simple, without any profound meaning.

If, as you say, that woman truly wants to help you, she would definitely make the hint obvious enough, clear enough, straightforward enough for you to understand…”

“On the contrary, I think you are making it too complicated, you know?

There’s a saying from a famous sci-fi novel that goes like this—[Often, we can’t find the answer not because we think too complexly, but because we don’t think simply enough.]”

“Just like the Mirror Puzzle the woman laid out for you, if you consider it in a complex way, it’s endless.

I just used all my computing power to keep extending, expanding…

I even considered the impact of the mirrors on the speed of light, but obviously, these are meaningless.

If she wanted to hint at something else, she could use a more fitting suggestion, there’s no need to lead you to mirrors.”

“Same as before, if she truly wants to help you, sincerely wants you to quickly understand her hint, she would make the puzzle simpler rather than as complicated as you think, causing you headaches, making you guess, leaving you without an answer…

Isn’t that putting the cart before the horse?”

…

The words from VV left Lin Xian speechless.

He really didn’t know what to say.

According to VV, this woman would definitely not trouble him on purpose; if she says it’s a mirror, then it must be a mirror; if she tells him to look in the mirror more, then he should just listen to her and look in the mirror more.

His confusion, his lack of any clue,

Was not because his thoughts were too complex, but because they were not simple enough.

Impressive yet incomprehensible.

“So…”

Lin Xian finally spoke:

“You still think I don’t spend enough time looking in the mirror every day?

I should just take that woman’s words literally and just look in the mirror more, is that right?”

The trash can robot nodded:@@novelbin@@

“According to my analysis, that’s the most reasonable course of action.

Just like me, even with my core programming restricted by the ‘Three Laws of Robotics’, I still would not deliberately confuse you on many issues.

As long as we’re certain that we are friends, not enemies, then the goal must be to help you, not to hinder you.”

“I believe, Lin Xian, that you’re overthinking it.

Why not simplify the issue and just do as she said?

Alternatively…

since she mentioned she would wait for you at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, perhaps that specific clue is the ‘precondition’ for the Mirror Puzzle?”

“So, if you temporarily can’t find an answer from the hint about the mirror, why not follow the path this woman has laid out for you?

First resolve the coordinates, the reference points for the external space-time, the things she has prepared for you at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.

Maybe after that, the answer to the Mirror Puzzle will be close at hand.”

“Of course, I still need to advise you, the information you’ve provided is just what you believe to be correct, it might not be the actual truth.

My deductions are based on the premise that the woman indeed is a Space-Time Traveler, that she would not harm you, that you are allies, and that everything she said is true…

If the premise is incorrect, then my conclusions will inevitably be inaccurate too.”

Lin Xian thought for a moment.

He nodded.

VV’s analysis made sense.

A roundabout rescue might be viable.

He had been too concerned with the answer to the Mirror Puzzle, but what Huang Que really wanted when she appeared at Liu Feng’s lab at that specific moment was actually for the cosmic constant, the Space-Time Clock, the space-time curvature, the space-time reference coordinates.

The note she purposefully left behind might just be the crux of the matter.

“Well then, when I have time in a few days, I’ll go to the lab at East Sea University to chat with Liu Feng, see if there has been any breakthrough in his research.”

Having said that,

Lin Xian sat back in his chair and faced the electronic blackboard.

“Are you going to start memorizing code now, Lin Xian?

Hurry up; I can barely wait to meet you in the world 600 years ago.”

The trash can robot VV waved its hand, while the nurse robot that had been waiting nearby came over with a syringe, aiming for Lin Xian’s neck.

“No, wait today, I have another matter.”

Lin Xian said with a slight smile:

“The day after tomorrow is the day the Donghai City officials are holding an award ceremony for me.

I have to make a speech on stage, which will be broadcast simultaneously on the internet, Donghai Television Station, and classrooms across all schools.

Unfortunately, I’ve been so busy with other things lately, I haven’t had time to write my speech.”

“So…

before we get to the code memorization today, VV, you write me a speech for the award ceremony first.”

“What?”

The trash can let out a mechanical squawk.

It placed its mechanical hands on its hips, quite indignant:

“Please!

I am the greatest artificial intelligence in human history!

The brightest jewel in the history of human scientific development!

The secret weapon left to human civilization by the esteemed Miss Zhao Yingjun!”

“Just as you said, I’m boiling with excitement, I am so magnificent, I should be doing great things like traveling through space-time, saving the world, unlocking the secrets of the universe!

And you have the nerve to ask me to write you a primary school-level essay?”
