Chapter 143: Chapter 131 Introduction to the Cosmological Constant_2
“It really does seem like there are no elderly people.”
CC murmured:
“At least not on this street—neither elderly nor middle-aged.”
“Or perhaps... they are all old,” Lin Xian felt that this city was truly horrifying, Cultivating a relationship was more thrilling than playing Werewolf.
Fortunately, the uniforms they had allowed Lin Xian and CC to avoid much trouble and blend into the environment without arousing the suspicions of the residents of New Donghai City.
From a distance, Lin Xian saw several patrol robots and even mechanical police dogs... Uncertain of their capabilities, Lin Xian and CC quickly turned and walked down a small alley.
...
“How are we going to get to Tem Bank? Do you have the exact location in your earpiece?” asked Lin Xian.
CC shook his head:
“No, there’s only a route description, no actual maps. I don’t know if it originally had this feature, but after I cracked the password, many functions became disabled... Now I can only use it to receive work information from the Garbage Factory and to crack other passwords.”
“That’s still pretty good.”
Lin Xian started to think.
The area of New Donghai City was vast, just wandering around aimlessly would make it difficult to find Tem Bank, they needed to ask directions or find a map.
“We could ask for directions, even if we can’t get the answer directly, we could ask for the location of a bookstore and look for a map there.”
“But what about the heavy scent of blood on us?” CC, pulling at his collar and frowning, said:
“These clothes are full of blood, it stinks. If someone smells such a strong scent of blood, they’ll definitely suspect us.”
“We could ask children. They shouldn’t be so sensitive,” suggested Lin Xian.
“But you’ll have to find a real child,” CC chuckled lightly:
“Just not one of those who have turned back into a child.”
“...”
But as it happened,
they were lucky.
Before they found an appropriate child to ask for directions, they came across a very large bookstore.
It spanned three stories and looked like it had a comprehensive collection of books.
Only, it was already closed at that hour.
Lin Xian and CC stepped up to the entrance and faced the tightly closed thick glass door.
“Electronic lock?”
Lin Xian was surprised:
“Can you crack it?”
“I’ll try.”
CC put on the Bluetooth headset-like device, her eyes moved rapidly. Two minutes later:
“Connected, once connected, we’re good to go.”
“Seems electronic locks are unreliable after all...” Lin Xian remarked earnestly.
He recalled the eight password dials on the hafnium alloy safe.@@@@
Had the safe been equipped with an electronic lock, CC probably would’ve cracked it by now, he thought. Who would have guessed that in an era of rapid technological advancement... mechanical locks would suddenly become the most secure option.
Beep beep.
Lin Xian looked at the two emphatically bold idioms at the beginning.
Completely worthless.
Full of errors.
This...
Is this book really that bad?
Is that why it was excluded from the academic book category and placed in the Ancient Books Area?
Did Big Face Cat’s father study in vain?
Lin Xian found it hard to believe.
He tore off the plastic seal, opened the cover, and looked at the author’s introduction on the book jacket...
In the photo, there was a very young scholar wearing black-framed glasses who looked to be around twenty-five or twenty-six years old.
With a youthful appearance, he resembled a university student.
The author’s introduction below read:
[Liu Feng, born in April 1996 in Shanxi, China, entered the Mathematics Department of Shanxi University in 2014, after finishing his master’s degree in 2021, he devoted himself to research on the cosmological constant and presented his findings in this book.]
Born in 1996...
Indeed, just as he had thought.
The author of “Introduction to the Cosmological Constant” belonged to the same era as Lin Xian.
Lin Xian felt a surge of excitement.
This was one of the few significant discoveries in recent times...
If he could just convey the matter of the cosmological constant 42 to the original author, could he learn more secrets about 42?
Despite the expert review claiming the book was completely worthless and full of errors, Lin Xian was certainly not convinced.
As Big Face Cat would say... How many experts can really be trusted?
The murder of Big Face Cat’s father by the Genius Club was the most authoritative academic endorsement.
Lin Xian casually flipped through the book, seeing complicated deductions, until he reached the last page... Inside the back cover, there was a printed business card tucked away.
Clearly, it came with the book.
Could it be that this card was there when it was excavated from the tomb?
Lin Xian took it out...
On it, written in exquisite yet somewhat shaky handwriting, it said:
[My dear Feng Feng:
Although I didn’t wait for the meteor shower...
I’ll still make a wish for you in the sky.
One day, everyone will understand what a great thing the cosmological constant is.
It’s a pity I will not get to see that day.
I’m leaving~ You take good care of yourself~
—Forever loving you, Qi Qi]
