Chapter 568: Crossing the Novel

After receiving the sad news of Academician Huo Xing's death, Tang Xiaosheng immediately went to the hospital to find out.

Last night, he just met Academician Huo Xing, although Academician Huo Xing was a little delirious, but his mental state was still good, how could he suddenly die?

After arriving at the hospital, Tang Xiaosheng immediately found the director of the hospital and asked about the cause of Academician Huo Xing's death.

According to the dean, at 6:12 this morning, Academician Huo Xing suffered a heart attack due to excessive excitement and high emotions.

After listening to the dean's explanation, Tang Xiaosheng immediately went to Academician Huo Xing's ward.

As soon as I entered the ward, I saw an old man lying quietly on the white hospital bed, the old man with kind eyes and a peaceful face, and beside him, there was a book called "The Meaning of Madness: Nietzsche's Superhuman Philosophy".

There is no doubt that the old man lying on the hospital bed is none other than Academician Huo Xing, who just died of illness in the morning.

According to the nurse in the hospital, Academician Huo Xing had been holding this Nietzsche's philosophy book tightly in his hand before he died.

Until this moment, Academician Huo Xing had been dead for more than 2 hours, and his soul had long since left his body, and if nothing else, he should have been destroyed by the omnipresent "strange energy".

Therefore, even if Tang Xiaosheng knew how to spell, it would be impossible to save Academician Huo Xing. Looking at Huo Lao's body on the hospital bed, he couldn't help but feel a touch of sentimentality in his heart.

Although Tang Xiaosheng has many friends, there are very few who can really be called confidants, and Academician Huo Xing is one of them.

More than eighty years ago. Academician Huo Xing was the first scientist in the world to recognize the value of Tang Xiaosheng's physics paper "On the Structure of the Multiverse", and it was Academician Huo Xing's strong support that finally established Yin Weijian's core position in the planning of the chronometer.

When Tang Xiaosheng founded "Yin's Multiverse Theory", on a global scale, only one person could read this set of esoteric cosmological theories, and this person was Academician Huo Xing. In the process of studying cosmic science, Academician Huo Xing has also given Tang Xiaosheng a lot of help and inspiration.

It can be said that for more than half a century, Academician Huo Xing has been Tang Xiaosheng's mentor and friend.

And today, this mentor is gone.

……

After the death of Academician Huo Xing. On the morning of January 13. The news spread throughout the world, and the governments and peoples of various countries in the world expressed their deep condolences in various ways.

Academician Huo Xing is one of the core experts of the Moonlight Research Group, and has won the Nobel Prize three times, except for Yin Weijian. The most influential cosmologist in the world. In terms of human exploration of the multiverse. Academician Huo Xing has made outstanding contributions.

What is even more admirable to the world. Born in 1970, Academician Huo Xing's life spanned three centuries of the 20th, 21st and 22nd centuries, and lasted for 142 years. But he has never been in love once, and he has never married. It can be said that he dedicated his life to science.

Huo Xing's spirit of diligently seeking truth has become a role model for countless younger generations in the scientific community today.

On January 15, 2112, the third day after the death of Academician Huo Xing, a grand ceremony to commemorate Academician Huo Xing was held in the Plaza of the Union State Building.

At the memorial ceremony that day, millions of scientists in the Moonlight Research Group took time out to participate.

In addition, many well-known people attended to bid farewell to Academician Huo Xing, including Wei Xiaobao, chief minister of the alliance countries, Ouyang Ke, mayor of the Chrono Science and Technology City, Yin Weijian (Tang Xiaosheng), chief scientist of the Chrono Meter, the President of the United States, the President of the European Union, the Prime Minister of Japan, and so on.

At the memorial ceremony, Wei Xiaobao, chief minister of the alliance state, delivered a short speech, in which he spoke highly of Academician Huo Xing's life of pursuing the truth of the universe, and at the same time, on behalf of the Dream Science and Technology Award Committee of the Union State, he awarded Academician Huo Xing the honor of "Dream Science and Technology Lifetime Achievement Award".

The Dream Science and Technology Award is a science award founded by Tang Xiaosheng (Yin Weijian) in 2035 with tens of billions of manuscript fees earned from the "Yin's Multiverse Theory" book series, and is jointly operated and managed by the Dream Fund and Dream University of Science and Technology. The award is given to all scientists around the world who have made outstanding contributions to the field of science.

After more than 70 years of development, the "Dream Science and Technology Award" has replaced the "Nobel Prize" as the most influential scientific award in the world.

However, in the past 70 years since the establishment of the Dream Science and Technology Award, Academician Huo Xing is also the second scientist to be awarded the "Dream Science and Technology Lifetime Achievement Award".

The first person to receive this honor was Yin Weijian (Tang Xiaosheng).

After awarding the award to Academician Huo Xing, the memorial ceremony also entered a climax, and millions of people gathered in the entire Chrono Mansion Square, solemn and solemn.

Many scientific research experts who have cooperated with Academician Huo Xing are heartbroken, and they did not expect him to pass away in such a way.

Regarding the death of Academician Huo Xing, there are two people who are most deeply touched, one is Wei Xiaobao and the other is Ouyang Ke.

At the ceremony to mourn Academician Huo Xing, Wei Xiaobao and Ouyang Ke, who are already over 100 years old, once again truly felt that death was so close to them, and also felt the weakness and powerlessness of human beings in the face of death.

Academician Huo Xing is today, and maybe it will be their tomorrow.

Therefore, when participating in the mourning activities for Academician Huo Xing, Wei Xiaobao and Ouyang Ke were in a heavy mood, because they both knew that the Grim Reaper would befall them at any time.

Wei Xiaobao and Ouyang Ke's worries may not be noticed by outsiders, but Tang Xiaosheng sees them in his eyes.

According to Tang Xiaosheng's original plan, if he could get the Moonlight Treasure Box on January 11, 2112, he would consider sending Wei Xiaobao and Ouyang Ke back to their original time and space.

It's a pity that Tang Xiaosheng still couldn't get the moonlight treasure box in the end, and Wei Xiaobao and Ouyang Ke's dream of crossing may come to naught.

Tang Xiaosheng has been with Wei Xiaobao and Ouyang Ke for more than 80 years, and he has long regarded them as the best friends, and he doesn't want to watch Wei Xiaobao and Ouyang Ke die inexplicably.

Tang Xiaosheng had already made a decision in his heart. If Wei Xiaobao and Ouyang Ke also died, they would create a space for them to create a "Five Elements Bagua Array" so that their souls could continue to survive, and then think about it in the long run.

So, on the fifth day after participating in the memorial event for Academician Huo Xing, Tang Xiaosheng specially went to chat with Ouyang Ke, hoping to reduce Ouyang Ke's mental burden.

That morning, when Tang Xiaosheng walked into Ouyang Ke's office, he found Ouyang Ke sitting in front of the computer, looking at the screen intently. Very engrossed.

Tang Xiaosheng couldn't help but be a little curious about what Ouyang Ke was looking at. So he walked forward quickly, ready to explore the space. As a result, when he walked up to Ouyang Ke, he found that he was reading a time-traveling novel.

"Old Gram. You're really idle enough. I was actually reading a time-traveling novel. Tang Xiaosheng said with a smile.

Ouyang Ke came back to his senses. Only then did he find that Tang Xiaosheng was standing beside him, sighed, and said helplessly: "We are now the ones who sit and wait for death." What else can you do without reading novels? ”

Since the establishment of the Chronometer Scheme, Ouyang Ke has been energetic, aggressive, full of positive energy in the past few decades, and believes that he will definitely be able to return to the time and space of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

However, in the past 20 years, because researchers have not found new energy, traveling through time and space has become an unattainable dream. Ouyang Ke has done everything he can, spending trillions of dollars to comprehensively upgrade the world's intelligent systems to improve the efficiency of scientific research.

Unfortunately, this is still the result in the end.

As time passed, Ouyang Ke was now more than 100 years old, and his self-confidence was gradually consumed, and gradually, he began to doubt whether he could really succeed, and occasionally despaired, not knowing what else he could do.

In such a state of mind, Ouyang Ke then liked to read novels again, especially time-traveling novels. Because in the time-traveling novel, he can temporarily stop thinking about these extremely desperate problems in reality, and his body and mind can get some relaxation.

Ouyang Ke has always liked to read time-traveling novels, and Tang Xiaosheng knows this very well, but after seeing Ouyang Ke reading novels, he still feels a little awkward.

Because the day before his death, Academician Huo Xing was also concentrating on reading the book.

Thinking of this, Tang Xiaosheng stepped forward and looked at the computer screen, wondering what novel Ouyang Ke was reading. As a result, he unexpectedly found that the name of the novel Ouyang Ke read was "Twin Treasure Hunts".

Tang Xiaosheng is still very familiar with the novel "Shuang'er Treasure Hunt", because it is an anti-time travel novel written by Tang Xiaoyu in 2029, which tells the story of Shuang'er in "The Story of Deer and Ding" and looking for Wei Xiaobao after traveling to the modern city.

"Lao Ke, this "Twin Sons Treasure Hunt" should be a novel more than eighty years ago, right? How do you read a novel so old? Tang Xiaosheng asked curiously.

Ouyang Ke smiled: "Your vision is really a thief, you can see at once that this is a novel of more than 80 years." Sighing, he said, "It's not that I don't want to read the latest time-traveling novels, the problem is that I have basically read all the time-traveling novels in the last few decades, and I can only read some older works." ”

Since the birth of the first multiverse device in 2033, in the past seven or eighty years, human beings have become more and more interested in time travel, and there has been a large wave of time travel craze around the world, so a large number of time travel novels and time travel movies and television dramas have appeared.

As a senior lover of time-traveling novels, Ouyang Ke has read thousands of novels over the years, and he has read all the more famous time-traveling novels on the Internet, so now there is a bit of a book shortage.

In desperation, Ouyang Ke had to find some time-traveling novels published more than 80 years ago to pass the time.

Seeing that Ouyang Ke even read the novel more than eighty years ago, Tang Xiaosheng knew that Ouyang Ke seemed to be more and more desperate for his future life, otherwise, he would not have spent so much time reading novels.

Sinking deeply, Tang Xiaosheng said: "Lao Ke, don't be too desperate, we will definitely not die on the earth." ”

Ouyang Ke smiled and said, "Frankly speaking, I really don't have much confidence in the future now. However, I don't think time-traveling novels are just trying to escape from reality, but I want to find inspiration from the whimsical time-traveling novels. Maybe in the time-traveling novel, we can find a way to cross-time. ”

Tang Xiaosheng thought that Ouyang Ke might have fallen willingly, but after listening to him, he felt that he still seemed to be quite combative, and nodded: "It's best if you think so." I was meant to enlighten you. However, it seems that it is no longer necessary. ”

Ouyang Ke teased: "You really think I'm a three-year-old child? In terms of age, I'm still three years older than you, and you're not desperate yet, how can I be desperate? ”

Tang Xiaosheng smiled: "Okay, it seems that I am too worried." Okay, then you're busy, I'll go first. ”

With that, he left the office.

After Tang Xiaosheng left, Ouyang Ke was not idle. Continue to sit in front of the computer and read the time-traveling novel.

Tang Xiaoyu's "Twin Treasure Hunts" has a total of only 600,000 words. Ouyang Ke's reading speed is very fast, and with the assistance of advanced reading software, the reading speed can reach more than 10,000 words per minute.

Therefore, Ouyang Ke only took less than an hour to finish reading "Twin Treasure Hunts".

In desperation. Ouyang Ke had no choice but to continue to look for time-traveling novels on the Internet.

Due to the time-traveling novel published between 2029 and 2112. Ouyang Ke has already seen it. As a result, he can only find a few time-traveling novels published before 2029.

At the beginning of the 21st century, there were many literary and film works about time travel in China. Therefore. There are still a lot of time-traveling novels published before 2029.

It's just that many online novel websites have closed down for various reasons, and some novels can't be found.

After searching the Internet for more than half an hour, Ouyang Ke finally found an old novel website called XX Chinese Network. On the website, there were many time-traveling novels published more than 80 years ago, so he began to look them up.

"Back to the Ming Dynasty as a Prince"? Author: Month off? ”

The first time-traveling novel that Ouyang Ke searched for was "Back to the Ming Dynasty as a Prince", judging from the Internet page, this should be a very popular time-traveling novel that year, because the total number of hits exceeded 40 million.

However, since Ouyang Ke crossed from the martial arts world to the modern city, his form of crossing belongs to anti-crossing. As a result, he is only interested in time-traveling novels in the anti-time-traveling category.

Unfortunately, "Back to the Ming Dynasty as a Prince" is a time-traveling novel about modern people traveling to the Ming Dynasty, not an anti-time-traveling novel, so Ouyang Ke could only silently close the webpage and continue to search.

""Searching for Qin"? Author: Huang Yi? Alas, the popularity of the novel seems to be good, but unfortunately, it is not an anti-crossing novel. ”

Ouyang Ke shook his head and said with a little disappointment. Although there are a lot of time-traveling novels, there seems to be a shortage of anti-time-traveling novels, and even the two time-traveling novels he found are not anti-time-traveling novels.

However, Ouyang Ke did not give up, he continued to bury his head in the search for anti-time travel novels.

"The First Chaos in History?"

After a while, Ouyang Ke's eyes suddenly lit up, because after several searches, he finally found an anti-time travel novel, and immediately clicked on the anti-time travel novel "The First Chaos in History" written by Zhang Xiaohua, and read it with relish.

"Huh? Why is this novel in the first person? ”

After reading two chapters, Ouyang Ke frowned slightly, and said with a little pity. Personally, he still prefers third-person novels, and is a little repulsive to first-person novels, so he has to collect "The First Chaos in History" and read it when he can't find other anti-time-traveling novels.

After closing the page of "The First Chaos in History", Ouyang Ke continued to look for anti-time travel novels on the xx Chinese Internet.

""Days of Living with Wan Wan"? Not bad, this is also an anti-time travel novel! ”

A few minutes later, Ouyang Ke said happily, without thinking too much, he immediately clicked on the first chapter of the novel, glanced at the text, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, "Fortunately, this is not in the first person." ”

After tossing for most of the day, he finally found a more desirable anti-time travel novel, so Ouyang Ke sat in front of the computer and read it with relish.

The novel "The Days of Living with Wan Wan" is still more in line with Ouyang Ke's taste, although the infinite flow of writing in the later part of the novel makes him a little sore in the egg, but it is still worth reading.

The only drawback is that the total number of words in the entire "Days of Living with Wan Wan" is only more than 1.5 million, and Ouyang Ke finished reading it all in less than 2 hours.

After reading it, Ouyang Ke still felt that it was not enjoyable, so he had to continue to search for anti-crossing novels on the xx Chinese Internet.

In the next more than an hour, Ouyang Ke found 154 more time-traveling novels.

Among the 154 time-traveling novels, some were abandoned after only reading a dozen chapters because they did not meet Ouyang Ke's taste; Although some novels meet his taste, the author only halfway through it and then stops updating, for this kind of novel with a beginning and no end, Ouyang Ke can only endure the pain.

In desperation, Ouyang Ke had no choice but to continue searching on the website.

In the process of searching for novels, Ouyang Ke felt quite emotional. Veteran readers of fiction like him are often faced with the awkward situation of spending more time searching for a novel than reading it.

Especially Ouyang Ke, who has been reading novels for more than 80 years, belongs to the hardcore readers. Because such readers read a lot of books, their requirements for novels are getting higher and higher, and it is becoming more and more difficult to find a satisfactory novel.

Just when Ouyang Ke no longer had much hope, at this time, in an inconspicuous position on the search page of the website, he inadvertently saw another anti-time travel novel.

Ouyang Ke stared, took a closer look, and found that the name of this novel was "The Imposter Traverser", which was published in 2012.

"Imposter Traverser?"

Ouyang Ke looked at the introduction of the novel "The Imposter Traverser", frowned slightly, thoughtful. (To be continued......)
