Chapter 92: Chapter 90 Blind Spot (Seeking Monthly Pass)_2
Boom... boom...
As the motorbike entered the village market, Big Face Cat also slowed down the speed, and the two of them were able to converse without yelling:
“Brother, your brain isn’t all that sharp, is it?”
Big Face Cat parked the motorbike behind the roast chicken shop and looked at Lin Xian:
“My father’s book is indeed a 600-year-old ancient manuscript, but it’s not the one dug up from a tomb! My son even has a set of ‘Journey to the West,’ can you say that it was dug up from a thousand years ago?”
“It’s definitely printed later! Not to mention, where would my father get the ability to dig up a 600-year-old tomb... Even if he really did dig up a book, who would dare to keep such an ominous thing at home? The tomb-digging story came from something my dad saw in the book cover, whether it’s true or false who knows.”
...
Having said that, he went to buy roast chicken cheerfully.
Lin Xian also understood what he meant.
The original work of “Introduction to the Cosmological Constant,” was written 600 years ago by some mathematician.
That’s just like how “Journey to the West” was written by Wu Cheng’en during the Ming dynasty.
And the “Journey to the West” that people read and examine now is definitely a book that’s been reprinted countless times, not the original one written by Wu Cheng’en or one that was dug up from a tomb.
“Introduction to the Cosmological Constant” is the same.
The book was written 600 years ago indeed, but the copy that Big Face Cat’s father had was also a “replica edition” that was printed later.
Meaning, [this book is not the only copy!]
This provided Lin Xian with a brand new approach to clarifying the puzzle of the cosmic constant, 42—
600 years before the year 2624 roughly corresponds to around 2024, which is in the same era as the year 2023 he was living in!
This also meant... the original author of “Introduction to the Cosmological Constant” might very well be living in the reality of 2023!
If he could find out who the original author was, couldn’t he just go look for him directly in the reality of 2023?
Although, from the current situation, it seemed possible that the original author never solved the answer to the cosmic constant before his death.
But no matter.
He already knew the final answer was 42.
If he could just have a good discussion with the original author, there must be something to gain!
So...
The most important thing now was to find out who the original author was!
It would be best to know the author’s name, date of birth, places of activity, position, workplace, etc... in short, the more detailed, the better.
After thinking it through.
He had another route to explore.
At that moment, Brother Lian came back with the roast chicken. Lin Xian directly asked:
“Brother Lian, do you know the name of the author of ‘Introduction to the Cosmological Constant?”
“I don’t know, I have never read that book,” said Brother Lian.
“Where did your father buy that book? Is it available in bookstores?”
“How could we have such profound books here!” Big Face Cat snorted:
“We have neither true history nor knowledge here; we are not qualified to know these things. Only New Donghai City possesses such profound knowledge and real history.”
“I definitely won’t waste your time, and I’m fine with whatever test the boss has for me. If I don’t make the grade, I won’t say another word and will just leave!”
The skin on the chicken leg had torn!
The white strands of meat began to pull apart... on the verge of bursting!
“Okay, okay, okay, okay! Ah damn, I’m really impressed with you! Let go, let go! I’ll take you there, happy now?”
Lin Xian smirked slightly and let go of the chicken leg.
Big Face Cat cursed under his breath as he hung the roast chicken on the motorcycle’s handlebars, pointing at Lin Xian:
“Alright, we’ve agreed, ha. If the boss doesn’t let you join in on the activity tonight, don’t complain, just come back home with me. I’ll speak well of you later, maybe you can get a retest. Now let’s deliver the roast chicken to my son first.”
“Understood, don’t worry, Brother Lian.”
Lin Xian hopped onto the back seat of the motorcycle swiftly.
What a joke!
If Er Zhuzi, with his nosy nature, and San Pang, that dimwit, could pass the boss’s test... why wouldn’t I, with my wall-climbing skills, be far superior to them?
If I can’t even pass the boss’s test, then all these years of dreaming have been for nothing.
Once I meet the boss and join in on the secret operation tonight, I’ll naturally find out where that “Introduction to the Cosmological Constant” came from.
Just get another copy of “Introduction to the Cosmological Constant,” and I’ll be able to lock onto the author’s name, photo, workplace, place of origin, and more from the book’s cover... then I can find him in the real 2023 and ask for all the details about the cosmic constant of 42!
Though the method is a bit troublesome...
It’s still much simpler than infiltrating New Donghai City alone to find Big Face Cat’s father and feasible to implement without much difficulty.
I’m really curious:
“Who could it be...
“That wrote ‘Introduction to the Cosmological Constant’ 600 years ago?”
...
Squeak————
Big Face Cat’s rickety motorcycle stopped in front of a large courtyard house.
Green tiles, red walls, big wooden doors, the place reeked of wealth.
You couldn’t see the layout inside the courtyard... but just from the extravagant area it occupied, it was easy to imagine how luxurious the buildings inside must be.
Placed amidst the impoverished small village, the vast courtyard seemed utterly out of place, like the Forbidden City in a slum.
“We’re here, brother. That’s our boss.”
Big Face Cat dismounted the bike, pointing to a middle-aged man watering flowers in the tidy and clean courtyard.
Clad in a grey robe of fine silk, he had the air of a scholarly immortal.
He pulled Lin Xian into the gate, shouting:
“Boss! I’ve brought the new guy to see you.”
The man watering the flowers lifted his watering can, turned around with a smile, dignified and gentle, bathing in the spring breeze.
Lin Xian looked up...
He never would have expected to see this face here!
“Lee Cheng?”
