Chapter Thirty-eight: Do you want to seek the truth?

"Son, are you interested in studying at Princeton?" Einstein raised his head and looked at Xia Lianda.

Xia Lian smiled and said, "I didn't calculate it. I have a computer in my brain. He calculated it."

Einstein smiled knowingly, thinking that the young man in front of him was very humorous, and he laughed.

"Oh, your brain is faster than a computer."

"In the future, computers can calculate trillions of times per second, and no brain can surpass it." Xia Lian said seriously.

Einstein frowned. He looked at Xia Lian and felt that the young man in front of him was not joking.

"The future is indeed possible." Einstein took over.

Xia Lian smiled and stretched out his hand to Einstein, "So, do you want to take a look?"

Einstein was stunned for a moment, and then he looked at Xia Lian.

"You mean, you can take me to the future?"

"Want to give it a try? All the doubts in your mind may be answered, including whether mankind will be destroyed by nuclear bombs in the future, unified field theory, and...whether God plays dice.

Your life is coming to an end, don’t you want to know the mysteries of the universe at the end of your life?”

Xia Lian's words are full of temptation for scientists like Einstein who pursue the truth.

But Einstein said nothing.

"Are you afraid? Heading into the unknown."

Xia Lianxiao asked.

"But you never gave up on preventing the spread of nuclear weapons, you always stood up to the powerful, and you were not afraid to speak at black colleges, even when no one dared to do that.

You are also not afraid to defend a convicted spy, even if you are vilified and grounded for doing so.

For you, truth is greater than everything else, isn't it?"

"It seems that my illusion just now was correct. You did suddenly appear under the sycamore tree."

Einstein said, then he put the paper in his hand on the table on one side, and then sighed.

"You convinced me, kid.

So, can I still come back?"

"Of course, in order to maintain the stability of time and space, you must come back." Xia Lian said,

"It seems that God is also logical." Einstein joked.

Then, he raised his hand and touched Xia Lian's hand.

In an instant, he felt a powerful force pulling him away from this time and space. In front of his eyes, the entire human history was flowing rapidly.

The Iron Curtain he was worried about disappeared with the curtain call of the red country, and then came the rise of the ancient eastern country.

Later, he saw the decline of the empire, and then mankind experienced disasters and destruction one after another.

He saw the birth of controllable nuclear fusion. Humanity entered the interstellar age, developed the moon, and colonized Mars. He also saw the emergence of warp engines. Humanity officially left the Kuiper Belt and began to explore the interstellar world.

Soon, the time flow in front of them became faster and faster, as if they were teleporting, and they entered a strange place.

They were standing in a pure white corridor, and a soft female voice seemed to be heard in their ears.

"Please say the entry code."

"379866jklk34."

Xia Lian beside him said a series of numbers.

Then, the female voice answered.

"The coding is passed, the gene is confirmed to be human, the base lock is opened, today is the New Year, I wish you a happy holiday."

The soft hidden light strips lit up as the sound ended, illuminating the entire corridor very brightly.

It seems that it has been cleaned frequently, and the corridor is very clean, almost like a dust-free and sterile space, very much like the description of an alien base in science fiction novels.

There is a huge transparent aluminum window in the middle of the corridor. Through the window, you can see the outside world. At a glance, you can see endless gray dust and many huge craters, some of which resemble the surface of the moon.

Looking up, you can see the endless starry sky of the universe. The radiance of stars embellishes the depth of the universe.

There is no atmosphere here, so Einstein felt that he was closer to the universe than ever before, and some hallucinations seemed to appear before his eyes.

He saw light waves traveling in space, as slow as mist blown by the morning breeze, the infinitely wide space-time membrane undulating gently in the huge waves of gravity, and the countless stars floating on the membrane like crystal dewdrops.

It was a beauty he had never seen before, and he couldn't help but be fascinated by it.

Being able to truly take a look at the universe he has studied all his life in his later years is enough to have no regrets.

"Let me formally meet you, Mr. Einstein. My name is Xialian Helios." Xialian's voice came from one side, "This is a research base abandoned by humans."

Einstein came back to his senses, looked around and said, "This doesn't look like it was abandoned."

Xia Lian nodded and said, "It took me a lot of energy to find a base with scientific research capabilities and no people."

In fact, it was Alaya who found it, and Xia Lian didn't spend much time.

After a pause, he continued: "This place was attacked by neutrino waves not long ago, and all the humans inside died due to genetic collapse."

"Neutrino?" Einstein recalled, "I remember that Pauli seemed to have proposed this hypothesis to explain that energy does not seem to be conserved in beta decay. Does it really exist?"

"It was only observed after your death." Xia Lian said, "This kind of lepton has extremely strong penetrating properties when used as a weapon. It can kill all organisms without destroying buildings."

"Similar to a neutron bomb?"

"Yes." Xia Lian nodded.

Einstein nodded solemnly, "I used to worry that mankind would eventually self-destruct due to nuclear bombs, but now it seems that what I worried about seems insignificant compared to the future."

"This is also a drawback of technological progress," Xia Lian said.

After a pause, Xia Lian smiled and said, "I thought you would be more surprised. Time travel is against your theory."

"Oh, the theory is gray." Einstein said calmly, "Science progresses through this kind of continuous innovation."

Then, he continued to ask, "So, what's the reason for you to come to me? Bringing me, an old man who is about to end his life, to this era is just to let me witness the scenery of the future at the last moment of my life.

?"

The future does not affect the timeline. Xia Lian chose a few months before Einstein's death. Soon after, he would die of a cerebral hemorrhage due to a ruptured aortic aneurysm.

Einstein had a very deep study of space and time, and he had obviously realized this.

"This is just one of them. After all, you have too many worries in your later years." Xia Lian said with a smile.

"The birth of the nuclear bomb has an indirect relationship with me. If mankind is really destroyed because of this, I will be one of the sinners." Einstein said.

"Although it is not because of nuclear bombs, there is indeed the possibility of human destruction." Xia Liandao.

Einstein raised his eyebrows and looked at Xia Lian.

"Let's talk as we walk. Let's take a look around here. After all, I haven't been here before," Xia Lian said.

With that said, Xia Lian walked deeper into the corridor, with Einstein following behind him.

Xia Lian began to explain to Einstein the disasters that mankind would face in the future, and also explained his current situation. He also told Einstein about the situation of the Fifth Element and Yongye Star and the real purpose of his visit.

However, Xia Lian did not reveal Alaya's existence.

The killing effect of neutrinos was obviously better than Xia Lian imagined. There were no bones in the base. They all turned into blood and were discharged outside under the action of the base's automatic cleaning system.

The background of this era is that it was before the era of omnics, when artificial intelligence had not yet rebelled, and now it is the era of the Sixth Reasoner.

They are facing a powerful alien group, and this neutrino weapon was released by that alien group.

Not only this base, but within a radius of a hundred light years, there is no life left...
