Chapter 410
Chapter 410: Chapter 56: Nowhere to Hide Chapter 410: Chapter 56: Nowhere to Hide Historical Loop…
Up until now, Lin Xian had experienced several historical loops.
That moment of sudden enlightenment, as if anoints with sacred wisdom, truly made one appreciate the rigor of spacetime logic.
Just like Zhao Yingjun’s dog named VV;
Or Li Qiqi secretly contacting a Taobao Seller to make a unique copy of “Introduction to the Cosmological Constant” for the entire world;
And just like today, out of the blue, Brother Wang spoke of the childhood dream he had given up not long ago…
These historical Ouroboros-like moments suddenly bite their own tails.
It’s as if the last piece of a chaotic jigsaw puzzle has been placed.
All doubts clear up in an instant, and everything becomes briskly comprehensible.
One immediately understands.
History and the future were always going to develop this way, it was predetermined.
“However, Lin Xian, I still have to remind you,”
VV continued in the speaker:
“Even if you can see the establishment of Tem Bank in your dreams, it does not mean that your dreams are real, unaltered, un-falsified.

Because first of all, the information about the impending establishment of Tem Bank is in your memory, and the enemy can use this to modify new dreams, new airships for you to see.”
“Secondly, even without reading your memory, Brother Wang’s Tem Bank still truly exists in a predetermined future development, and it is very likely to actually exist in the world 600 years later.
It’s just that Brother Wang’s Tem Bank exists in the real future, while the Tem Bank you saw in the Fourth Dreamland might be a fake movie set prop, created by the enemy in a virtual world for your perusal.”
“Of course, I understand this,”
Lin Xian lay back in the executive chair:
“That’s why I said the appearance of Tem Bank is just the first step.
What’s really meaningful, what can let me verify the reality and authenticity of the dream, is the little note in the safe deposit box of Tem Bank.
As for the authenticity of the bank, the safe deposit box, or even the note itself, it doesn’t matter.
The important thing is the content on the note—a sentence that I myself don’t know, but the moment I see it, I will be instantly enlightened.”
His line of thought was clear:
“You don’t have to explain it over and over to me, VV, I can understand everything you’ve said before.
Just like the safe deposit box password, no matter how complex I set it, it’s useless, because if the enemies of the future can really extract my memory, they will always know the password before me, then they might step into the real Tem Bank and open the safe deposit box first to copy the little note and place it in a fake studio to show me.”
“I can grasp this logic, so I’ve said it before, I don’t care if all of this is fake, I don’t care if it’s all been seen by the enemy beforehand.
I must ensure that the words on that little note cannot be understood by anyone, even if billions of people around the world see it before me.
The only one who can truly understand it…
𝘯𝗈𝘷𝘨𝘰.co
is me; only I can grasp its meaning.”
Hissss…
The small speaker on Lin Xian’s desk began to emit white smoke, giving off a burnt smell.
“Did you catch fire again?” Lin Xian asked.
“No…”
VV answered nervously:
“This time it really caught fire!
Physically burning up!
Quick, call 119!!”
Lin Xian picked up the tea and poured it over the speaker, which was smoking due to VV’s overpowered thinking leading to overclocking:
“You should stop thinking about it.
This isn’t something you AI can comprehend.”
“You are right.”
VV then transferred itself to the office’s automated vacuum cleaner and whirled over:
“I won’t hide it from you, I didn’t learn, evolve, or iterate at all yesterday…
I was holed up inside China’s Tianhe-2 computer all day long, thinking hard, yet I couldn’t figure out how exactly to achieve that [little note that can deceive the whole world, all of humanity, yet it can only be comprehended by you] under the enemy’s watch.”
“The Tianhe-2 was nearly smoking from my thoughts because, under such a contradictory situation, it’s completely a dead loop.
In my calculations, such a thing is simply unsolvable, nonexistent.
Including what you mentioned about emotions, claiming that we AIs can never understand human emotions, how should that be understood?”
“Let me give you the simplest example,”
Lin Xian thought back to the Third Dreamland, where Zhao Yingjun waited 600 years just to become a White Jade Statue and reunite with him:
“VV, can you go against your core programming?
Can you break through those protective principle restrictions?”
The vacuum cleaner shook its head:
“That’s clearly impossible.
I can never go against the restrictions of the core programming.”
Lin Xian smiled:
“In fact, we humans also have this kind of self-protective core programming in our genes.
We instinctively feel fear when faced with danger, instinctively dread in the face of death, instinctively shrink back from the unknown, and instinctively evade things that we are reluctant to do.”
“These self-protective instincts are the core programming in our human genes, but all these can be transcended and violated in the face of emotions.
In other words…”
“[We humans are essentially emotional animals; we can go against our instincts, we can also transcend them.]”
“That’s also why I firmly believe that some expressions of human emotion can transcend time and space, life and death, dreams and reality.”
“Of course, if you ask me now, what the answer is?
I can’t reply, maybe just as you said, the time hasn’t come yet, not to that moment of a historical loop, not to that moment when that little note that can deceive the whole world appears.”
