Genius Club-Chapter 1157 - 34 CC Verification (Extra for Silver Alliance, Unparalleled Under the Heavens Day 37!)

"Impossible."

Jask shook his head:

"Absolutely impossible."

In the end, Lin Xian did not go for barbecue with Gao Yang. Instead, he took a private car to the Tesla Super Factory to find Jask, who had not yet left China.

After listening to Lin Xian’s judgment, Jask chuckled and seemed worried about Lin Xian’s mental state:

"Lin Xian, have you been mentally stimulated by something recently? Or did you read some fantasy novel and suddenly get inspired?"

"This stretch of your paranoid behavior feels very strange to me. First you suspect that Copernicus feigned death, and now you’re suspecting that Einstein feigned death... Hahahaha, sorry, this joke is just too hilarious. I’ve undergone professional expression management training and generally don’t laugh during conversations—unless I can’t help it."

"Einstein’s brain has been sliced up and studied for years; how could he possibly still be alive? Besides, Einstein was born in 1879. If he were alive today, he’d be nearly 140 years old. Normally speaking, it’s impossible for anyone to live to this age."

"Not to mention, the president of the Genius Club, the elderly man wearing the Einstein mask—is his demeanor anything like a 140-year-old’s? Even if you said the club president was replaced midway, I might believe it. But to say he’s Einstein himself... that’s just too far-fetched."

Lin Xian sat down opposite Jask and asked:

"Then why does he forbid us from asking questions related to the Genius Club itself?"

"If he’s truly only an admirer of Einstein or simply borrowing Einstein’s mask, why would he categorize the club’s establishment date, founding process, and future direction as forbidden topics?"

"Honestly, I don’t see what’s so secretive about the club’s founding date. If he founded it, why can’t he openly share this piece of history with us?"

Jask smiled faintly.

He waved his hand dismissively:

"This question doesn’t demand overthinking. Isn’t it easy to verify? Let’s do it this way—"

"[At the September 1st gathering, I’ll help you verify this question!]"

In a show of camaraderie, Jask said:

"At the gathering three days later, you’re planning to verify whether Copernicus is truly dead, right? So, I’ll help you verify the Einstein question."

"Here’s how I’ll phrase it—I’ll ask, ’Where were the ashes of the famous physicist Albert Einstein scattered?’... How’s that for a question? It’s one of the world’s unsolved mysteries! Only Einstein’s children knew, but they’ve long since passed away. It seems there’s no way to find out the answer nowadays, though the president surely knows."

"I’m curious about this answer, too. If the president can specify where Einstein’s ashes were scattered, then your mind will be at ease, won’t it? Surely, ashes can’t be scattered while the person is still alive, unless he’s a ghost."

Lin Xian nodded:

"Good, let’s ask that."

"Although you say I’m being paranoid, a little caution never hurts. After all, our enemies are unpredictable, each more cunning than the last. A bit of extra vigilance is better."

...

The next day, August 28, 2024, Tem Bank officially transitioned from nearly half a year of trial operations to full-fledged operations.

The ceremony was grand, with many media outlets invited for publicity.

Lin Xian and Zhao Yingjun naturally attended, congratulating Brother Wang on finally achieving his childhood dream.

Brother Wang grasped Lin Xian’s hand excitedly:

"Thank you so much, Lin Xian! Rest assured, the matters you entrusted to me have been written into the regulations. Even if Tem Bank collapses someday, it must abide by this principle—"

"During every 100-year anniversary celebration, we must rent as many airships as possible to advertise over Donghai City! Whether it’s the 100-year celebration, 200 years, or even 600, 800 years... airships must fly in the sky all day!"

Lin Xian smiled faintly and said nothing.

It’s certainly a good thing if such a tradition can be preserved.

But unfortunately...

The global catastrophe of 2400 laid waste to everything. Not only Tem Bank but even Donghai City was leveled. The global population dwindled by 95%, and airships were destined never to fly again.

Still, if the 2400 catastrophe could be prevented, everything would be negotiable. This was one of Lin Xian’s future goals.

That night.

It seemed as though fate smiled upon Tem Bank.

Mi Country and the European Union issued a joint statement announcing the official release of mass-production hibernation pods, and the opening of various hibernation bases.

Mi Country also rallied numerous nations to co-sign the "Hibernation Act (Draft)." While the draft was far from perfect, as humanity’s first hibernation law in history, its appearance formally marked the dawn of the hibernation era.

In China, various official agencies also made announcements. They stated that mass production of China’s hibernation pods, as well as the opening of hibernation bases, would materialize by the end of 2024, alongside related hibernation legislation.

The year 2024 truly signaled the beginning of the hibernation epoch.

Just as Brother Wang initially envisioned, hibernation pods soon reached ordinary households, and Tem Bank’s business began to boom exponentially.

After sorting through miscellaneous affairs in the real world, Lin Xian finally could dive into the dream to find CC and verify the relationship between the Millennium Stakes and the nightmare.

He finished lunch early, filled his Pomeranian VV’s bowl with dog food, lay on the guest room bed, and closed his eyes to enter the dream.

Following the original path, Lin Xian efficiently completed his route. Accompanied by Xu Yiyi and CC, he joined Lian Gang and proceeded with the Lian Gang Four to Gao Wen’s Underground Laboratory.

After aligning viewpoints with Gao Wen and confirming where to backtrack on the blueprint, Gao Wen turned away to prepare.
