Genius Club

Chapter 343: Chapter 32: Commendation Ceremony Chapter 343: Chapter 32: Commendation Ceremony Chu Shanhe was somewhat surprised:

“Although possible, on what grounds do you plan to ask for my introduction?”

Lin Xian took a moment to rethink.

He had just had a flash of inspiration, thinking that since Dean Gao Yan was the leading figure in China’s controlled nuclear fusion field, if he could discuss with him and offer some help in this area…

perhaps he could consider borrowing the Guizhou Sky Eye for a few months?

Controlled nuclear fusion is the key to a civilization’s advancement and a project that major powers around the world are striving to research; whoever achieves controlled nuclear fusion first would essentially gain limitless energy, allowing them to plan for the interstellar age well in advance.

In the Third Dreamland, the 6000 engines that supported the City in the Sky were precisely controlled nuclear fusion engines.

Although they used the more advanced Cold Fusion Technology.

Hot fusion and cold fusion are just different methods, the principle of energy release is the same, not to mention that because cold fusion takes place at much lower temperatures, it’s far more advanced, practical, and easier to achieve than traditional hot fusion.

In short.

Whether from the perspective of Dragon Science Academy’s Dean Gao Yan or the perspective of national development, nuclear fusion technology is far more important than a mere Guizhou Sky Eye.

If he could truly assist the country in this area, borrowing the Guizhou Sky Eye wouldn’t be a difficult issue to negotiate.

Lin Xian had this confidence.

Moreover, realizing this plan was not difficult.

With VV present, all he needed to do was to let it summarize the breakthrough points and key aspects of Cold Fusion Technology onto an electronic blackboard, then he just had to memorize them by rote and jot them down on paper after waking up.

With the “drug-fueled intensive studying” method, rote memorization posed no difficulty to Lin Xian, and in just a few days, he could bring the knowledge of cold fusion technology back to reality.

However…

One problem that could not be ignored was “Temporal Flux”.

Lin Xian believed.

Whether it was controlled nuclear fusion technology or cold fusion technology, introducing them centuries ahead of their time in human society would inevitably trigger a strong Space-Time Butterfly Effect, completely transforming the future world.

This was an inevitability.

Nuclear fusion technology is far too important for the development of human civilization, a fact that makes it exponentially more significant than Xu Yun’s Hibernation Pod Filling Liquid.

Thus, it’s easy to imagine.

Once this bucket of water gets spilled in 2023, becoming an unchangeable anchor point, the Third Dreamland would definitely disappear, giving way to a brand new Fourth Dreamland.

Although Lin Xian couldn’t even begin to imagine what the Fourth Dreamland would look like…

He definitely wouldn’t be able to find VV then!

Right?

Unlike now, where it’s so convenient to just do a high-altitude parachute jump to activate VV and then start copying the code?

At this moment, what mattered most to him was to prioritize bringing back the super-AI.

The Guizhou Sky Eye and Liu Feng’s research were just icing on the cake.

Only VV was his greatest confidence and strength, the foundation of all his safety and combat capabilities.

Therefore.

[In order to avoid triggering Temporal Flux and the disappearance of the Third Dreamland where VV resided, it would be prudent to wait until he had copied all of VV’s code back to reality before meeting with the Dragon Science Academy’s Dean Gao Yan and discussing the Cold Fusion Technology and the Guizhou Sky Eye issue.]

“That’s the situation, Mister Chu.”

Lin Xian organized his thoughts and looked up at Chu Shanhe:

“I have a project related to nuclear fusion at the Rhine Laboratory in East Sea University, of course… It’s just in the early stages of being established.

Since Dean Gao Yan is an expert in this field, I wanted to take the opportunity to meet him and ask a few questions.”

“As for timing, I think it can be a little later, maybe after two or three months; by then, I’ll have organized the lab’s materials and let Dean Gao review them.

After all, it’s rare to meet such a great scientist, and I shouldn’t waste his time without good preparation.

I’d better get things ready first.”

After hearing this, Chu Shanhe nodded:

“Hmm… You’ve thought this through very comprehensively.

Dean Gao Yan is an elder who is enthusiastic, hopeful, and values the youth.

There was a domestic science and technology award that wanted to honor Dean Gao with its reputation and prize money… but he flat-out refused it.”@@novelbin@@

“He said at the time that he felt sad to see such an award bestowed upon an old person like himself.

He mentioned that at his age, what use did he have for such honor and money?

He doesn’t lack these things, and the time he has left to contribute to the country is limited.”

“He advised that future science and technology awards should consider the youth more, asserting that young people are the future of the country, the ones who truly need these honors and prizes.

So rest assured, if it’s for a legitimate study or research matter with Dean Gao, with my recommendation, there will definitely be no issues.

Whenever you’re ready, just let me know, and I’ll help you arrange a time to meet with Dean Gao.”

Having agreed on this, Lin Xian thanked Chu Shanhe and left the Shanhe Building.

Thus.

The action plan for the next few months was now clear—

Firstly, speed up the memorization of the code as much as possible, striving to transcribe VV’s streamlined 130,000 lines of code onto his laptop within two or three months.

VV had also said that these 130,000 lines represented only the most basic programs after simplification, both in terms of functionality and processing power, they were a far cry from the VV in the Third Dreamland, requiring extensive iterations and learning over a long period to evolve.

But fortunately, with the presence of the internet, VV could leverage its advanced intelligence to roam across the world’s supercomputers and vast networks; computational power would not be limited by his laptop, nor would it waste his home’s electricity… This state of being a data stream without the need for hardware was VV’s greatest advantage.

This was probably a part of the plan that Zhao Yingjun had already carefully designed in the Third Dreamland.

VV was not only concealed and hard to detect, it was a data stream, it didn’t require a specific hardware host, which was perfect for his situation in the year 2023.

As he copied the last few lines of code, Lin Xian only committed them to memory to avoid triggering a temporal flux, opting not to enter them into his laptop.

By doing so, VV wouldn’t be activated, no space-time anchor would be formed, there wouldn’t be any temporal fluctuations, and the Third Dreamland would not vanish.

Then, the second phase of the plan could be implemented.

Afterward, when entering the dreamland to locate VV, it would no longer be necessary to recite the code; instead, the focus would shift to memorizing the details of cold fusion technology.

Lin Xian intended to simplify this information with VV’s help, transcribe it by hand, and then present these notes to Dragon Science Academy’s Dean Gao Yan for “consultation” …

Though it was called consulting, it was really about bestowing a boon.

With this gift for the nation, securing access to the Guizhou Sky Eye would naturally fall into place, and Liu Feng could use the world’s largest radio telescope to search for space-time particles around Earth.

If space-time particles could indeed be found somewhere …

The next step would be figuring out how to capture them.

If the particles were nearby, planes could be used; if they were further away in space, he would have to go to the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center and seek Huang Que’s assistance.

At this point, Lin Xian could roughly guess that the space-time particles would definitely be found and that they would certainly be located in near-Earth space, far from close.

After all, Huang Que would not act without purpose.

Since she had come to the laboratory and left that note for Lin Xian and Liu Feng, instructing them to meet her at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, it meant she had known all along but was constrained by the dictates of space-time law to keep silent.

As long as the space-time particles could be successfully captured.

The third phase of the plan would naturally be within reach.

The mysteries of the Space-Time Clock, space-time curvature, and the cosmological constant would all be confirmed and resolved.

The solution to the Mirror Puzzle might also lie within.

And once he fully understood all this …

Presumably,

An invitation to the Genius Club would not be far off.

This was his three-step plan for the upcoming half-year.

Once these plans were completed, his abilities would increase dramatically, and his battle with the Genius Club …

would surely enter a new phase:

Join it,

Uncover all truths and secrets,

And root out the true mastermind behind all the bloodshed and deaths!

…

The next day.

Donghai Grand Auditorium.

In front of this official venue that was typically closed to the public, a crowd now gathered, representatives from all walks of life entered in an orderly fashion, ready to attend today’s grand recognition ceremony and heroic deeds report.

There were also many student representatives from various schools present, including delegations from elementary, middle, high schools, and universities.

The entire auditorium was packed, yet still orderly.

In the front row of the inner field sat many cameras.

These cameras would broadcast live the recognition ceremony to television stations and online streams for those unable to attend, allowing them to watch and learn from Mister Lin Xian’s exemplary deeds.

Journalists from various media outlets were also ready in the front row of the inner field, awaiting the official start of the ceremony.

At that moment,

In the backstage area of the Donghai Grand Auditorium, a group of officials was chatting amiably, in high spirits.

Chu Shanhe warmly introduced the officials present to Lin Xian.

One of them, Elder Song, patted Lin Xian on the shoulder with a pleased expression:

“Indeed, heroes emerge from youth.

Young man, it’s thanks to your intelligence and bravery that this heinous serial murder case was solved.

I’ve heard from Shanhe and Xiao Liu …

in truth, it was all due to you.

Donghai City’s prosperity and long-term peace need young talents like you who have responsibility, dedication, and are willing to work hard.”

“Elder Song, you flatter me,”

Lin Xian replied with a polite smile:

“Everyone in the task force has worked tirelessly day and night.

It’s a collective achievement; I simply offered some constructive suggestions.

The arrest operation required the participation of every colleague from the police station; I am still an outsider in this field, just lucky.

To speak of expertise, I’m just an amateur making a fool of myself.”

Lin Xian’s humble words elicited appreciative laughter from Elder Song, Chu Shanhe, and the other onlookers.

“You have a promising future, young man.”

Finally, Elder Song shook hands with Lin Xian and then turned to the others:

“It’s time; let’s go to the auditorium.”

“The long-anticipated recognition ceremony of the Donghai people …

is about to begin!”
