Chapter seven hundred and seventeen you haven't done enough
"How did you know?" Cai Yuan was really surprised at this time.
There are some truths that he personally experienced and took ten years to sum up.
However, the young man in front of me explained it to him, which was really unbelievable.
"Isn't it weird? Although we can't cross that door and see the reality. But at least... we can all get the reflected information through the mirror. There is a possibility in this world to see through the reality in you. Isn't this
Is it reasonable?" Lin Xi asked back.
Cai Yuan smiled bitterly: "It is indeed very reasonable."
But his eyes finally dimmed again.
The regrets of the past were only part of what made him decadent.
The remaining part is that I saw hope... but was dashed the moment I saw it.
He could feel that when he opened the door, it was a brand new world.
But he could never push it away.
"Since you have seen the door on my body, what about you... Do you want to try it too?" Cai Yuan asked Lin Xi as if chatting.
Lin Xi neither admitted nor denied, but said: "I have a book here, you might as well read it."
As he spoke, he handed over the Electric Age he had written.
Unexpectedly, Cai Yuan said: "No need... I have already read it, and there are some other old friends who came to see me, an old man, and brought me this interesting book and asked me what I thought.
."
"Since you gave me this book and you are so young... then you are the author of this book? Your name is Xia Houzun?"
Lin Xi nodded and said, "I am Xia Houzun."
"Do you want to study the kind of...electricity written in your book?" Cai Yuan stared at Lin Xi, seeming to be very interested.
As a fundamental promoter of the first industrial revolution, Cai Yuan had a keen intuition about the electricity described in Lin Xi's book.
However, from steam engines to electricity... this is an extremely huge gap.
If Cai Yuan has already stepped through that door, perhaps he can smell a trace and create a second energy revolution.
Unfortunately, he didn't cross it.
He is just a mortal after all.
"Maybe!" Lin Xi did not deny it.
Then he said: "You said that if electricity really appeared and then spread, and the person who created this situation lived for a hundred years, and tried to take the step you took before, would he be able to overcome it?"
Cai Yuan was stunned when he heard this.
He also wanted to know this question.
He could feel that the steam he controlled was getting stronger and stronger.
That's because, as more and more different types of steam engines were put into use, involving all aspects of people's production and life, Cai Yuan's influence naturally expanded along with it.
At the same time, Cai Yuan's name is becoming increasingly mythical among those who benefit from it.
However, it was precisely because of this constant strength that made him suffer.
He was stuck in the crack of the door, unable to get through or get out.
Powerful power flowed through his body, then vented violently, and finally slipped away quietly.
He also asked himself, if he settles down a little more, waits a little longer, waits until the accumulation becomes more substantial... will it be different?
Cai Yuan's eyes gradually became a little hazy.
The turbid eyes became duller and more hazy.
He is very old, very old.
Including his heart and body.
People who live in memories and regrets are old no matter their age.
"Farewell!"
Lin Xi whispered these two words, then turned and left.
The purpose of his coming has been achieved.
He got the answer he wanted from Cai Yuan.
A seed was also left behind.
Whether he can take root or not depends on luck, but if he happens to be lucky...then maybe he doesn't have to wait until he helps the eldest prince to ascend the throne.
As for the question left to Cai Yuan before.
Lin Xi does have the answer.
The answer is...impossible!
Because as a true transcendent, Lin Xi knew very well that Cai Yuan failed to cross over, not because of insufficient accumulation, but because the environment and rules did not allow it.
Perhaps in some relatively fragile small worlds, accumulation that is so powerful that it exceeds the upper limit of the world can break the rules.
However, at the border... this concept does not hold.
Because in the boundary, the origin of this special rule is very strange, and the upper limit of its restrictions is also extremely high.
Now Lin Xi is taken out alone, without transforming into a simple Chaos Demon God, he is also an existence comparable to the Golden Immortal.
Even if it's just a clone, it should still have the strength of an ordinary true immortal.
However, when he reaches the border, he has to be honest and develop and accumulate like ordinary people.
No real flaws or loopholes can be found.
How can such a world exceed the limit of what it can do?
a hundred years?
Ah!
Even a thousand years! Ten thousand years! It’s impossible.
In the final analysis, the problem Lin Xi left behind was just a bait and a hook.
What I caught was the biggest fish in the world.
It seems that looking at it this way, why didn't Lin Xi come to Cai Yuan directly before, instead of borrowing the help of the eldest prince?
This is actually a very simple truth.
If it weren't for the eldest prince, who would care that an ordinary concubine from a noble family had come to Xiaotang Mountain and met Cai Yuan?
He even went to Cai Yuan to find out what kind of dialogue there was between them.
Just like Cai Yuan himself said.
Although the outside was heavily guarded, quite a few people had bypassed the guards to see him over the years.
There should even be many people coming to kill him.
But those who wanted to kill Cai Yuan buried their bones in the boiling steam.
After Lin Xi returned to the other courtyard, it didn't take long before the eldest prince came to question him.
Faced with the questioning, Lin Xi came up with the excuse she had prepared long ago.
"I am doing this for your Highness. Although Cai Yuan is old, he is highly respected after all. If one day, through some means, you can ascend to the throne and the throne is in dispute...then can we ask Cai Yuan to come out and help you stabilize the situation in the court?
?" When Lin Xi said this, the eldest prince was speechless.
Even if there are still doubts, it is not good to continue to ask, otherwise Lin Xi's heart will be chilled.
No matter how wary he was of Lin Xi, he had to act like a polite and virtuous corporal before accomplishing something big.
And Lin Xi didn't care that his excuse seemed perfunctory and insincere.
Because he had a premonition that the bait he left would be bitten by the fish he wanted to catch.
In the Imperial City, in the Tianju Pavilion, the old emperor looked at the letter in his hand and fell into deep thought.
"Electrical...one hundred years!"
"I...how can I still have a hundred years?" The old emperor sighed, his eyes couldn't help but feel lonely.
Back then, he was young and energetic, and he didn't know how old he was. He couldn't see the approaching death, and he didn't know that the ugly steam engine could have such great potential. So he didn't seize the opportunity.
But now, a second chance may come, but he is old and has no time.
How cruel is this?
"One hundred years... Qi Dynasty, Jiang family!" The old emperor crumpled the paper in his hand and threw it into the tea stove.
