Chapter 23 Flying to the East China Sea
Alas.
Lin Xian sighed lightly, and brought the wrinkled artificial flowers to his chest. Just like what he did 600 years ago, he pinched the wrinkled tin foil with his fingers, flattened them one by one, and made the bouquet that spanned time more neat.
Just like the unusual birthday gift on the night of Zhao Yingjun's 24th birthday.
She said she would remember it for a long time.
But unexpectedly... this memory would last for 600 years.
This is 600 years.
It is the time span from the Yongle prosperity of the Ming Dynasty to 2023 now.
For herself, it was nothing more than yawning at night and lying on the bed, and these 600 years flew by lightly.
But for Zhao Yingjun.
She didn't miss a second in these 600 years, and she survived bit by bit, minute by minute.
That kind of loneliness is indescribable.
Lin Xian closed his eyes and recalled the look in Zhao Yingjun's eyes when he first slept in the hibernation cabin.
After hibernating for ten years, you have to wake up for half a year to see this strange and lonely world. What does it feel like?
From the slides in the projection corridor just now, it can be seen that when the first generation of hibernation chambers are put into use in 2026, side effects such as becoming mentally retarded, mentally retarded, and brain atrophy should have been solved by the drugs developed by Tang Xin.
But the side effect of memory loss mentioned by Xu Yun at the beginning seems to be unavoidable.
It is precisely because of this that Zhao Yingjun does not want to forget the past time and past memories, so she chose a plan that has no benefits but only harms to wake up every ten years of hibernation.
Constant hibernation and awakening are very burdensome and destructive to the body.
Even if the memory can be preserved, the physical condition will inevitably get worse and worse, and perhaps a lot of pain will be endured in the process.
Lin Xian does not understand and does not know.
He does not know whether the reason why Zhao Yingjun does not want him to see her old appearance is related to the destruction of the body by this hibernation method.
So...
He held the bouquet tightly.
No matter how he failed in this future, or how Zhao Yingjun spent these 600 years of lonely life.
He must make this future become a history that does not exist! 】
He cannot let down Zhao Yingjun's kindness, nor can he let down her good intentions that spanned 600 years.
He must find what she left for him.
Then... change everything!
Looking back at everything in this exhibition hall, Lin Xian felt that the answer to the mirror puzzle mentioned by Huang Que should not be here.
From the perspective of time and space logic, Huang Que could not be Zhao Yingjun.
Because Zhao Yingjun had died in the future, the entire Rhine Sky City had witnessed her death and her ashes being scattered in the wind that blew across the four seas.
Therefore, Huang Que could not be Zhao Yingjun who traveled from the future.
Besides, Zhao Yingjun had died more than once.
As early as the future of the second dream, Zhao Yingjun died in an accidental shooting. Before that, Huang Que had already appeared in reality and sent the fake invitation letter of the genius club to the front desk of MX Company.
This is not in line with the logic of time and space.
Since Zhao Yingjun did die in the future, where did Huang Que travel from?
Anyway, no matter what, these two people may really only be similar in temperament, but in fact have no relationship-
Huang Que is Huang Que, Zhao Yingjun is Zhao Yingjun.
Just like the relationship between CC and Chu Anqing.
Thinking of this.
Lin Xian couldn't help but think of CC again.
When he and Big Face Cat A Zhuang were preparing to take a helium balloon to the sky today, he also asked the two about the Tam Bank and the hafnium alloy safe.
The two people were also completely unaware and said that they had never heard of such a bank.
This also made Lin Xian very distressed.
There is no such bank in Rhine Sky City and on the surface of the world, so where did this Tam Bank go?
If we can't find the Tam Bank, then where is CC in this world?
Lin Xian didn't mean to say that he had to see CC.
He just felt that CC's existence was like a sense of security, an anchor, and an indispensable partner for him.
If she can't be found in this dream...
What about the next dream?
What about the next dream?
Will she be farther and farther away from him, so that she can never be found?
At this moment, Lin Xian really realized that this world is too big.
He can't find CC at all.
Unless...
He has to find the Tam Bank first.
What is the problem?
Is it because of the huge changes in the world that the Tam Bank went bankrupt early due to poor management and disappeared in the dust of history?
Or...
Because the changes in time and space were too drastic this time, the Tam Bank, which was supposed to be established in the second half of 2023, was not established and completely disappeared from history?
What is the reason?
"Hey, hey, hey! Hey, hey, hey!"
Under his feet, the trash can robot VV was circling around him in annoyance, and the mechanical clamp kept poking his knees:
"Come on, tell me! Stop keeping me in suspense! I've aroused my curiosity, but you're just sitting here pretending to be dead!"
"What?" Lin Xian looked down at it.
Swish.
The trash can robot VV stretched out its claws and pointed at the fake rose bouquet in Lin Xian's hand:
"You just said that there is not no trace of you here, what do you mean?"
"Ah, this."
Lin Xian smiled slightly and raised the bouquet in his hand:
"This bouquet was left to me by Zhao Yingjun."
"Ugh————" the trash can robot made a disdainful sound:
"Are you too narcissistic?"
"Believe it or not." Lin Xian was too lazy to pay attention to it.
"But...there are indeed a lot of things on this car that are inexplicable." The trash can robot turned its tracks and drove to the front wheels.
Then he raised the mechanical clamp and pointed at the Juanxiu text written on the front windshield:
"Ms. Zhao Yingjun wrote on the glass that this is the first car to fly in the sky in human history... But in fact this is impossible and unrealistic."
"Because this antique car uses an old internal combustion engine, uses fossil fuels that have been phased out long ago, and does not have any flying device drive facilities, so... this antique car can only drive on the ground, regardless of It’s impossible to fly in the sky.”
"But because of Ms. Zhao Yingjun's lofty status in the Rhine Sky City and the fact that she really likes this car, no one thinks that Zhao Yingjun would lie about such an obvious thing. Therefore, all historians and critics still can't think of it. Understand...why did she say this car can fly in the sky?"
hehe.
Lin Xian chuckled:
"Want to know?"
The trash can robot VV nodded.
"Then you can send me a car." Lin Xian said.
He believes this will be easy for VV.
Although VV calls itself the King of the Rhine just to enjoy the medieval drama, it is actually the King of the Rhine. The entire Rhine City, from the nuclear fusion engine to a sweeping robot, is controlled by it and is omnipotent.
However……
Trash can robot VV tilted his head, obviously not understanding what Lin Xian meant:
"What kind of car do you want?"
"The fastest car."
Lin Xian stroked the Bentley Continental GT that once flew over the East China Sea Viaduct:
"Bring me... the fastest car in the entire Rhine Sky City."
…
Huhhhhhhh! ! ! !
The biting wind blew past my ears.
A purple convertible sports car was speeding among high-rise buildings, so fast that an afterimage almost appeared in the sight!
The garbage can, which was tied up and down on the passenger seat by the seat belt, raised the mechanical clamp high:
"It turns out that it feels so good to sit in the passenger seat. No wonder Zhao Yingjun likes to sit in the passenger seat the most! But...doesn't it matter if you drive so fast? If you really hit something, I don't care, but you might be killed."
"How can I die so easily?"
The instrument panel showed that the car's flight speed had reached a terrifying 400 kilometers per hour, which was a full one-third of the speed of sound!
And this is not a professional track, it is in the intricate urban sky!
Even though VV had asked all the autonomous and intelligent vehicles in the sky to make way for Lin Xian, those tall buildings could not be moved away.
Lin Xian, on the other hand, rested his elbow on the car door and held his cheek, looking at ease.
He first pulled the steering wheel, letting the convertible fly to the highest point of the Rhine Sky City, and located the square where the statue of Zhao Yingjun was located.
Then, I found the roof of a skyscraper, which was flat and wide.
Bang!
With a violent vibration, the high-end open-top speed car hit the roof of the building, and then Lin Xian stepped on the accelerator to the bottom! Accelerate hard! The chassis of the car rubbed against the roof of the building and violent sparks erupted, but the speedometer kept moving to the right and the speed continued to increase!
"Um...this car doesn't have the function of driving on the ground.
The trash can robot turned its head and kindly reminded:
"And the button you just pressed turned off all automated programs and the flight function."
"That's right."
Lin Xian disagreed, holding the steering wheel and aiming at the square where the statue of Zhao Yingjun was located in the distance:
"Otherwise, how can we call it flying?"
Whoosh————————
The sports car with its red chassis flew out from the edge of the skyscraper and flew towards the Memorial Square in free fall towards Zhao Yingjun.
The whole body of the trash can robot was too slippery. It was just a pure cylinder. When the seat belt lost friction, half of its body was thrown out.
Bang.
Lin Xian freed up his right hand to hold down its Tianling Cap, and pressed it forcefully onto the co-pilot of the parabolically descending vehicle:
"This is how that Bentley flew 600 years ago."
"No wonder the interior of that car is broken and messy...and this kind of flying method is not the first one in history." VV complained.
Just like that night with beautiful moonlight.
This speeding car that lost power slid through the sky, through the moonlight, and into the Rhine Memorial Square under the most primitive inertia.
The moment we entered the no-fly zone, the entire instrument panel went dark.
But in an instant, it lit up again. Naturally, VV canceled the no-fly restriction on the car, and the vehicle was able to activate the flight mode in time in the last few dozen meters before landing, and stopped at the statue of Zhao Yingjun with a beautiful flick. On the high platform.
Lin Xian carried the trash can robot out of the car.
The two came to the white jade statue, one person and one bucket looking up at this great and respected woman.
Lin Xian looked at Zhao Yingjun's face at this time, which was exactly what she looked like in the last photo where her face could be seen in the projection gallery.
More than thirty years old.
She is much more mature than she was in MX Company, but she is still beautiful and sassy.
"VV, none of those old photos of Zhao Yingjun are left. You deleted them for her, right?"
"Yes."
Trash can robot VV replied:
"I can guarantee that you will not be able to find photos of Zhao Yingjun in his later years anywhere in the entire Rhine Sky City. But because of the
Due to the restrictions of the layer code, I cannot leave the Rhine City, and I cannot intervene and control any information from the outside world. "
"So...if you want to find photos of Zhao Yingjun in his later years, you should be able to find them in other sky cities."
"That's not necessary."
Lin Xian shook his head:
"She has always been like this. In my mind, Zhao Yingjun will always be so young and proud... She can't lose these. If she loses these, she is not Zhao Yingjun."
"You seem to have said something difficult to understand." VV also raised his head and stared at the dozens of meters high white jade statue with Lin Xian.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion.
Today's statue... seems to be more solemn and solemn than in the past, with a little more tenderness and a little more comfort.
Lin Xian searched around and around the statue again, but also found nothing related to the mirror, nor any other clues.
Now he basically believes that he must have guessed wrong about Huang Que's Mirror Puzzle, and it should have nothing to do with his dream and Zhao Yingjun.
We can only wait until we return to the real world before looking for other clues.
at the moment……
There was only one thing left to do.
"VV, I have the highest authority in Rhine Sky City, right?"
"That's right."
The trash can robot’s eyes flash green:
"Although calling you the King of the Rhine is a joke, in fact it is almost the same. I will obey all your orders, even if it violates the three laws of robots, because you are not a robot, you do not need to obey these."
"That's good."
Lin Xian chuckled and turned around.
He crossed his arms and looked at the night sky that the Zhao Yingjun statue was looking at and the dots of light that were constantly gathering on the ground:
"Blow up all the more than 6,000 nuclear fusion engines below Sky City."
"Blow up?"
The eyes of the trash can robot flash faster:
"If you just want to lower Sky City back to the ground, then we only need to shut down those cold fusion engines. There is no need to blow them up."
"No, blow them up."
Lin Xian walked to the edge of the high platform and looked at the place where they started from, where more and more white bright spots gathered.
Presumably the residents on the surface rushed to tell each other after seeing the three of them successfully landing. More and more people gathered, waiting for a miracle to happen...
"I promised a little girl that I would blow up a city for her. But unfortunately, I broke my promise last time."
"But now I think this opportunity is quite good. When more than 6,000 nuclear fusion engines explode, it should be more beautiful, right?"
Lin Xian turned around and looked at the trash can robot with a smile:
"Let's give that little girl...let's set off the biggest fireworks in the world!"
