Genius Club-Chapter 1095 - 15 Metaphysics_4

Lin Xian nodded his head.

About the situation in Donghai City, he also pondered along the way, but likewise, he hadn’t arrived at the right answer.

In terms of the system, the androids’ approach is indeed not wrong.

They indeed haven’t wronged any good person, and the deduction of points for minor infractions like spitting and making noise isn’t severe; moreover, there are also many ways to earn positive points.

But...

The right things, as they become increasingly correct, turn out to be wrong instead.

This issue.

Even Gao Wen hadn’t figured it out.

Furthermore, if humans were to become the law enforcers and authorities of Donghai City, would it really be better than it is now?

Lin Xian didn’t think so.

At least Mechanical androids are united with a common goal; after the year 2400, human society hasn’t experienced a single war.

If humans had been in charge, who knows how many times they would have fought by now.

Lin Xian shared his thoughts with Gao Wen.

Gao Wen agreed:

"You’re right, Lin Xian, even though I am a scientist, I still believe that not every question in this world has an answer."

"The problem with Donghai City is one of those questions without answers, with no absolute right or wrong."

"Savior Corporation itself isn’t wrong either; the androids are aiming to provide humans with a better, more civilized life."

"And to speak of it, is the management system of the City of Sin really correct?" frёewebηovel.cѳm

Gao Wen shook his head:

"The people here now, the gangs united by a common hatred, united without fear of sacrifice, it’s only because there’s a common enemy, East Sea City, that everyone wants to destroy that city and change this terrible world."

"I could be The Godfather, the same way Big Face Cat’s father, Chen Heping, could be elected The Godfather, it’s because only the two of us could develop and use the Time Shuttle Machine; only we have the power and wisdom to change their lives, the future of mankind."

"Just imagine, Lin Xian, if the human future really changed, all Mechanical androids disappeared, and all humans from the City of Sin moved into Donghai City, who do you think... would be the new Godfather?"

Lin Xian naturally understood Gao Wen’s meaning.

Without thinking:

"Lee Cheng."

Then shaking his head:

"It might not necessarily be Lee Cheng; it could also be the leaders of other gangs, or even Big Face Cat, but in any case... it definitely wouldn’t be a scientist like you."

"Because everyone wouldn’t need a Time Shuttle Machine anymore, nor would they need to rewrite the future; what they cherish would likely shift to other more tangible things, like money, status, territory, power, etc."

Lin Xian hummed lightly and shook his head:

"Such matters truly don’t have exact answers; it’s a typical Metaphysics problem."

!

Big Face Cat, who had been silently listening without understanding a word, suddenly had a light bulb pop up over his head and quickly stepped forward, poking Lin Xian:

"You just mentioned, what kind of school?"

"Metaphysics." Lin Xian answered.

Big Face Cat pondered:

"I think I’ve heard my father mention this term, along with other jumbled terms... You tell me, what exactly is Metaphysics?"

"Uh..."

Lin Xian tried to organize his words:

"It’s a very philosophical, and also very abstract issue."

"Simply put, Metaphysics refers to the study of the nature of the world, that is, the study of the origin and the cause behind every being, every phenomenon...￥#@%（*##)"

Lin Xian rambled to Big Face Cat, conveying the philosophical knowledge learned in university classes, explaining in as simple terms as possible.

Big Face Cat frowned deeply.

Sweat began to trickle from his forehead, eventually turning into steam.

His brain seemed almost ripe.

But suddenly!

Like having an epiphany, slapping his thigh:

"I’ve got it! I’ve really got it!!"

He excitedly howled, clutching his face:

"I finally understand why I have a special fondness for ’faces’... why I dislike cats... why... why! The reason lies right here—"

A beam of golden light burst forth from the top of Big Face Cat’s head, the radiance of wisdom enveloping him.

He twisted his plump body, his eyes wide as he looked at Lin Xian and Gao Wen:

"[Cats are ideology, faces are Metaphysics!]"

...

...

In the underground laboratory, silent as a frosty cave.

Lin Xian and Gao Wen exchanged glances, speechless.

"As long as you’re happy." Lin Xian said dismissively to Big Face Cat.

Then turned back around.

Looking at the Time Shuttle Machine that stood several meters tall and a dozen meters long, as magnificent as a semi-trailer truck, he said to Gao Wen:

"I’ve gotten a general understanding of Donghai City and Savior Corporation."

"Could you explain in detail to me the origin and purpose of this [Time Shuttle Machine]? I’m really curious..."

Lin Xian turned back, gazing into Gao Wen’s eyes:

"Who do you want to kill with this machine?"
