Chapter 804: Chapter 15 Gao Wen’s Safe_4 Chapter 804: Chapter 15 Gao Wen’s Safe_4 Lin Xian and CC each took a notebook to inspect its contents.
The one in Lin Xian’s hands had many poems copied down…

It must have been something Cat Dad discovered and recorded during his archaeological dig, right?
It even included the “Yueyang Tower Memorandum” that Ah Zhuang passionately recited earlier, all noted down in this notebook.
Recalling what Ah Zhuang and Big Face Cat had said.
While Cat Dad was still alive, he often taught the village children, imparting knowledge to them.
But after his death, the school fell into disuse, and Lian Village officially entered the era led by Big Face Cat, beginning a life in the wild.
Turning the pages further.
This notebook was filled with ancient poems, many of which were incomplete and many were incorrect.
Of course, Cat Dad didn’t know they were incorrect.
But Lin Xian had studied these before, and many parts were transcribed incorrectly…
But that wasn’t Cat Dad’s fault; it was already impressive that he had managed to unearth these cultural relics through archaeology.
“CC, what does your book say?”

Lin Xian put down his book and looked toward CC, who was near another oil lamp.“It’s about arithmetic.”
CC handed the book to Lin Xian:
“Just some simple arithmetic.”
Arithmetic?
Lin Xian suddenly became interested and took the rough notebook to flip through.
Indeed…
It was all very simple arithmetic problems.
Not as difficult as the equations taught by Zheng Xiangyue, too basic.
Lin Xian originally wanted to find clues about the cosmological constant 42, but after going through all the notebooks, he was certain…
Big Face Cat’s father in The Fifth Dreamland had not encountered any research on the cosmological constant.
This was understandable.
The super catastrophe in the year 2400 on Earth had overturned the entire world, changing many things.
In previous dream realms, the reason Big Face Cat’s father was able to continue researching the cosmological constant stemmed solely from the “Introduction to the Cosmological Constant” found in the grave of Liu Feng’s girlfriend, Li Qiqi.
The “Introduction to the Cosmological Constant,” though created in Lin Xian’s time,
But since it was proven to be entirely incorrect and worthless, no publisher was willing to publish it, except for Li Qiqi, who had a copy printed by a Taobao Seller.
Just that one copy.
A unique copy in the whole world.
At least, for hundreds of years to come, there wouldn’t be a second “Introduction to the Cosmological Constant” on Earth.
Clearly.
In the future world of The Fifth Dreamland, where a super catastrophe submerged everything, nearly all the healthy Earth people had migrated to Mars, and Earth was abandoned by humanity in the disaster.
Naturally, the world’s only copy of “Introduction to the Cosmological Constant” was also not unearthed, nor was it passed on to Big Face Cat’s father, and as such, the research on the cosmological constant 42 naturally also terminated.
The logic of space-time, linked in every aspect.
The slightest deviation could lead to a vast difference.
“Let’s go, let’s check the Hafnium Alloy Safe.”
Lin Xian put Big Face Cat’s father’s notebook back in its place, picked up the oil lamp, and walked with CC towards the corner of the village.
The Hafnium Alloy Safe was right there.
Lifting the oil lamp to inspect, the safe-cracking brute force method showed the combination had been tried in reverse up to 00002701.
Only the last 2700 possibilities remained!
At the fastest pace…
It would take no more than an hour to crack the combination of the safe of Gao Wen!
“Thanks to Lian Village.”
Lin Xian sincerely said:
“If they hadn’t helped us by cracking it for over a decade, eliminating nearly a hundred million combinations, it wouldn’t be so easy for us to open this safe today.”
“Is this safe very important?”
CC asked:
“Do you know this person named Gao Wen?”
Lin Xian neither denied nor confirmed:
“I don’t exactly know him, and I’m also not sure if this Gao Wen is the Gao Wen I’m aware of.”
“If it is the Academician Gao Wen I know…
then the contents stored inside this safe are worth looking forward to.”
“Academician Gao Wen is definitely a true genius; his inventions have changed the entire world and altered all the futures.”
“I believe a true genius will not just disappear.
Since he had used a Hafnium Alloy Safe, there’s a high probability that he entered the Hibernation Pod to travel to the future.”
“With such a premise, there’s usually something very important left for the future self…
Anyway, we don’t have many password possibilities left, we’ll know what’s inside once we open it.”
CC turned his head to look at the eight dials of the safe:
“They’ve already tried up to 00002701, let’s just continue from their progress, breaking it down one digit at a time.”
“No, no.”
Lin Xian was a person who took advice well and didn’t lose his head.
He directly dialed the eight password wheels back to 00000000, then smiled and said,
“Let’s start from 00000000.
Although for brute force, it doesn’t matter where you start, we still have to learn the lesson we’re supposed to.”
Saying this,
he began to turn the rightmost password wheel, trying one password after another.
00000001,
00000002,
00000003,
…
Click, click, click.
The familiar sound of the lock not opening.
After all this time, so many Hafnium Alloy Safes, so many dream adventures…
Lin Xian had never actually managed to open a single safe.
Before him,
perhaps a breakthrough from zero was finally about to be born!
Click, click, click.
As the numbers on the password wheel kept increasing, Lin Xian also pursed his lips, inevitably feeling some anticipation and tension.
Click, click, click.
00000039,
00000040,
00000041,
He pressed the lock.
Still not open.
Lin Xian moved the last digit on the password wheel downward.
On the Hafnium Alloy Safe, the eight password wheels lined up—
00000042
This…
This was an all too familiar number, and an incredibly familiar decimal.
[It was exactly the same as the number displayed on Liu Feng’s Space-Time Clock, 0.0000042, only without the decimal point.]
Lin Xian didn’t think too much and mechanically pressed the lock—
Boom.
A thud that resounded through hundreds of years!
The Hafnium Alloy Safe opened in response!
“It’s open…
it actually opened!”
CC immediately leapt up from the nearby stone bench, her eyes wide.
Although she realized that brute force could eventually open the safe,
But when that moment actually arrived…
She still found it somewhat unbelievable!
Lin Xian made no sound.
He was still puzzled.
Why, what a coincidence?
The password set by Gao Wen for the safe, not only related to 42, but also matched exactly with the current timeline’s curvature of space-time…
What did this mean?
With this puzzle, Lin Xian opened the Hafnium Alloy Safe that had been sealed for many years.
Inside,
the safe was nearly empty.
Only in the bottom corner lay a completely encapsulated notebook.
Lin Xian gently picked it up.
Thanks to being fully encapsulated, even after hundreds of years, it was still perfectly preserved, just like Zheng Xiangyue’s laminated small piece of paper, visible and normal.
He opened this sacred and heavy notebook.
CC also held up the lamp and came closer, both of them looking at the first page of the notebook.
Through the still clear and intact encapsulation film, you could clearly see several lines of black writing left on the paper inside—
[My name is Gao Wen.
This diary was stored on December 7, 2201.
I plan to enter the Hibernation Pod, and awaken within a safe 10-year period to ensure my memories are not lost, to retrieve this notebook.]
[And if you are not Gao Wen, but you are reading this notebook.
That would mean…]
[I have already died.]
