tearjerker director

Chapter 1634: One step ahead is a genius, two steps ahead is a madman
He Xi came to the mental hospital. The director of the mental hospital was naturally very enthusiastic about this famous professor, and He Xi did not waste words. He explained his purpose and wanted to find information about He Xi who lived in this hospital 150 years ago.

This was not a very difficult request, so the dean agreed readily.

Although the dean readily agreed to help, it was after all more than a hundred years ago. Most of the information had been destroyed, and only a recording made by the hospital as a medical record before He Xi's death was found.

He Xi, played by Lin Yunbin, pressed the play button. There was a click, and then the whole world was silent. The sound disappeared, and the music disappeared.

The only one left was He Xi, played by Lin Yunbin, holding her face and crying silently.

Because there is no novel of "The Heartbreaker" in this world, no one knows what the recording said, and the movie does not give an immediate answer. But this makes people more curious. What kind of recording would make He Xi cry one hundred and fifty years later?

This is a very common routine in movies. Although it is very routine, it is undoubtedly very effective. This shot is processed silently, creating suspense, and naturally makes the audience wonder what the content of the recording is that made Lin Yunbin cry like this? At the same time, it allows the audience to focus on the picture, achieving the effect of silence being better than sound.

After leaving the mental hospital, the scientist He Xi, played by Lin Yunbin, buried himself in the laboratory to realize the real time and space travel technology.

Half a year later, in He Xi's laboratory.

A scientist introduced a time machine to He Xi's wife and told her that this machine could go back to the past, but the person would be in an ionic state, so people in the past could not see or touch him, and would not be harmed.

But as a wife, she still looked at her husband in protective clothing with great concern, and asked worriedly: "Are you really going? What if there is danger?"

However, Lin Yunbin smiled and shook his head, his expression was very firm, "No, don't worry! Some people say that I am a genius, but you all know that it is not me who is ahead of the times, but He Xi from 150 years ago. If He Xi was born in our time, he should be the one to receive the praise. What kind of person is he? Why did he write such a great work but was buried in the sands of history? I must find out, otherwise I will never be at peace for the rest of my life!"

In fact, it is only here that the movie truly begins to enter its second act, going back to the world of He Xi, a genius scientist who has the same name as him one hundred and fifty years ago.

The time machine started. After a strong flash of light, Lin Yunbin disappeared from the laboratory.

The scene flashed, and Lin Yunbin appeared not somewhere else, but on the highway.

A bird's-eye view makes everyone feel very familiar, because this is the world that belongs to our time.

The car also runs on the ground.

Just at this moment, a bus came speeding and hit Lin Yunbin who had just passed by.

This is also a routine. In fact, this movie is not in 3D, otherwise, this shot would definitely be exciting enough.

Of course, even so, it still scared the audience.

However, when the bus sped past, they found that Lin Yunbin appeared on the screen intact, with his hands in front of him, looking very funny. The audience breathed a sigh of relief, and then they remembered that when he returned to the present, the scientific community told He Xi's wife that he would exist in an ionic state. Others could not see him or touch him, just like a ghost.

Lin Yunbin had made full preparations for this time travel to see the life of this genius who was ahead of his time 150 years ago.

Based on the information provided by the government, he came to the building where He Xi's home was located. As soon as he got downstairs, he saw He Xi's mother Xia Qunfang coming down from upstairs with a basket of vegetables. Lin Yunbin believed that as long as he followed Xia Qunfang, he would be able to find He Xi.

Xia Qunfang bought some vegetables at the market, took the bus with her basket, and went to the Sichuan University East District Library. She stood outside the window, watching He Xi concentrating in the library, with a smile on her face. She wanted to knock on the window several times to say hello, but she hesitated when she stretched out her hand.

Lin Yunbin did not have this concern. He walked straight into the library and quietly observed He Xi.

Of course, he could only observe. After all, although others could not touch him or discover him, he could only look but not touch.

He can't change anything!
Soon after, He Xi's girlfriend Jiang Xue showed up and invited He Xi to her home for dinner and to meet her parents. Like all parents, Jiang Xue's father asked He Xi when he would graduate and what his future plans were.

This was a bit of a blow to He Xi, as he was about to graduate next year and he hadn't found a job yet.

This made many viewers a little confused, because according to the information one hundred and fifty years later, He Xi one hundred and fifty years ago should have been a genius scientist. But how come this genius scientist was facing employment difficulties on the eve of graduation from university?
This obviously subverts everyone's perception of genius.

In the afternoon, He Xi went ice skating with Jiang Xue and his friend and rival, Lao Kang. He Xi was a graduate student and his family was poor. Usually, Lao Kang paid for their outings, but today He Xi felt particularly humiliated because he got angry at Jiang Xue for paying.

He Xi felt that he had to prove himself, and the only way he could prove himself was through mathematics.

Soon, everyone understood why a genius like He Xi was in such a situation.

In the evening, He Xi came to the home of his teacher Liu Qing.

He Xi sat in front of the desk, on which was a thick stack of manuscripts, with a few large characters on the cover - Micro-continuous original.

"I have tried my best." Liu Qing looked at his student with love.

The appearance of the manuscript of "Micro Continuous Original" made the audience start to concentrate.

It's already been written so early?

But why?

Why is his teacher so embarrassed?
This is something that even people one hundred and fifty years later would be extremely shocked!

In fact, everyone understands why, because it is too advanced. "Those who are one step ahead of the times are geniuses, and those who are two steps ahead often become madmen"!
Obviously, He Xi and his "Micro-Continuous Original" are too advanced at this moment.

But He Xi was obviously unwilling to give up. He Xi stared at the manuscript and said, "I spent ten years proving it. I have considered all the smallest details. The whole theory is now autonomous and there are no contradictions. It is correct. I have repeatedly pondered every theorem many times. Now only the last theorem is still unclear in meaning. I am trying to replace it with other theorems that have been proven."

However, his teacher said the same thing as everyone else: "I know. I have read your micro-continuum theory and the general proof. I have not found any contradictions to my level, and the proof is also quite good. But the problem is, I don't know what it can be used for!"

Yeah, even his teacher doesn’t know what this can be used for, so what’s the point of it?
He Xi obviously couldn't give an answer, and perhaps even he himself didn't know what this thing could be used for, but he knew that it was correct.

Hearing the teacher's words, hearing that even the teacher he trusted the most and respected the most could not understand, and his question was extremely realistic and cruel, He Xi felt like he was hit by something heavy. After a long while, he came back to his senses and emphasized: "It is correct, I promise!"

Liu Qing nodded and said, "I know, but our research will only be meaningful if it is applied. Otherwise, we will only go astray by doing mathematics for the sake of mathematics."

He Xi argued: "But it looks so harmonious. It is full of simplicity and beauty. Einstein once said that perfection in form often means correctness in theory."

However, He Xi's stubbornness failed to convince the teacher.

Liu Qing said earnestly: "He Xi, don't be stubborn. Micro-continuity has no application value. It is just a pure mathematical game. Let it go!"

But He Xi was still unwilling to give up, as this was his hard work: "When Euclidean geometry was born, people didn't know what it was useful for, but one hundred and seventy years later, this useless theory and the tensor analysis theory developed from it became the core foundation of Einstein's general theory of relativity. Now I am almost done, just a little bit left."

He Xi's eyes became vague, "Maybe in another month"

But he didn't know that it wasn't one month, but one hundred and fifty years!

No one knows, no, only the scientist He Xi, played by Lin Yunbin, one hundred and fifty years later knows.

Liu Qing felt sorry for He Xi's words, but he still sighed softly: "Even if what you said is correct and it is useful more than a hundred years later, you have to think about the reality. You have a girlfriend, you have a mother, and you have to make a living. If your theory has no value now, it is useless, and you can't find a job, so how do you live?"

Liu Qing’s words are extremely realistic.

But for He Xi, it was so cruel!
He Xi's whole body trembled and his face turned pale. Obviously, he also understood that what teacher Liu Qing said was the reality, but he was unwilling to accept it. He really was unwilling to accept it. Perhaps it was precisely because of this paranoia that he was a genius.

Geniuses are all paranoid, he continued: "You are right, we all have to live!"

But soon his expression suddenly became firm: "But I know it will be useful, even if it takes hundreds of years! I know!"

Lin Yunbin, who had been watching and listening, had mixed feelings. He sighed and said, "Yes, it is useful. It is the Grand Unified Theory. It brought me here!"

Unfortunately, he couldn't tell He Xi about it. He could only watch and watch the tragedy happen.

The audience at the scene also sighed, more than a hundred years!

In fact, everyone understands, and He Xi himself understands, that what Liu Qing said is right, realistic, and current.

This is the helplessness of reality!
However, what followed was an even crueler blow from reality.

Although He Xi's works and his hard work have been denied at this moment, at least he still has a girlfriend who loves him and a mother.

But the appearance of one person became a turning point.

Lao Mai is the boss of a computer company and an admirer of Jiang Xue. When he appeared in front of He Xi, he told He Xi directly: "I like Jiang Xue!" Then, he asked the waiter to buy him 99 roses!

Old Mac is here, a young, rich, handsome man with plenty of free time. It can be said that He Xi has no advantage against him.

Of course, his talent is definitely not comparable to that of Old Mac. Unfortunately, his talent is not recognized, at least not recognized by people of this era.

He Xi loved Jiang Xue very much, but at this moment, facing the rich and handsome Lao Mai, he felt an unprecedented threat. He Xi panted violently and responded: "Since you want to compete with me, then I will accompany you to the end!"

But how can he stick with me to the end?

He could only place his hope on his own works, but his teachers did not approve of his works, which were not recognized by the times and no one was willing to publish his books.

So, at this point, he had no other choice, really no other way.

For this reason, He Xi was very silent during lunch, while his mother Xia Qunfang kept picking vegetables into He Xi's bowl, asking him to eat more.

After a long while, He Xi hesitated for a long time before speaking: "Mom, can you help me borrow some money? I want to publish a book."

Yes, he finally turned to his mother for help. Perhaps this was the only solution he could think of.

"Publish a book?" Mother Xia Qunfang seemed a little surprised.

She looked at her son and asked after a while, "How much money do you want?"

"The publishing house said it would cost at least tens of thousands. But it's just temporary. I can pay off the debt once the books are sold." He Xi said.

Xia Qunfang nodded. She didn't ask too many questions because this was her son. She walked into the inner room, took out a passbook, and said, "This is the money from the factory to buy out my seniority. It was only paid out half a month ago. Nine hundred and four per year. This passbook represents my twenty-seven years of seniority. Take it!"

However, she quickly added: "Tell them if you can delay the payment for a few months. It's a pity to use the current account now."

He Xi said "hmm" and nodded: "I know!"

Naturally, he was not in a good mood either. This was the money from buying out his mother's seniority for more than 20 years. It could be said to be her support for the rest of her life, but she took it out without hesitation.

She didn't even know what book her son was going to publish.

Just because this is her son!
Xia Qunfang looked at the red-covered book and said, "I want to see the total again."

He Xi took a look and replied, "25380, that's right!"

Xia Qunfang nodded, a smile on her face: "Okay, take it! We'll make one on hard paper with golden words, that's what scholars do!"

He Xi certainly knew what this money meant to his mother, and he was unwilling to spend it if he could. He found his teacher Liu Qing and asked him to help see if the school could take microcontinuum theory as a research topic, so that the school could help him publish a book.

But as if it weren't raining, just as He Xi was waiting, his girlfriend Jiang Xue told He Xi that Lao Mai was going to send her to study in the United States. She told He Xi that if He Xi really didn't want to go, then she wouldn't go.

Everyone present knew what the tens of thousands of yuan in Xia Qunfang's savings book meant in that era.

I also know what going abroad meant to Jiang Xue at that time.

Is Jiang Xue wrong?
She was not wrong. Compared to a tall, rich and handsome man like Lao Mai, who could send her to study abroad, what about He Xi?

But she was still willing to stay, as long as He Xi asked, even until the day Jiang Xue left. At the airport, she said again, if you really object, I won't go out.

But He Xi didn't say anything.

He couldn't say it either. He really loved Jiang Xue, so how could he not care about her future? But he couldn't go with Jiang Xue either. He loved mathematics and his research.

If he hadn't been so paranoid, perhaps he wouldn't have been able to write such a book.

Jiang Xue left, she still left.

Of course, maybe it’s just that the love is not deep enough?

But no one can hate Jiang Xue because she has done enough.

He Xi's persistence made her see no hope for the future.

With Jiang Xue's departure, love was gone, and he focused all his remaining energy on his beloved mathematical research.

Unfortunately, what I got was bad news from teacher Liu Qing. The school did not agree to list micro-continuity theory as a key research topic.

The reason is still the same reason, no one thinks this is anything useful.
