Chapter 111: Mystery visitor

At Hawking's home in Cambridge University, his party has already begun.
A table of sumptuous wine and delicacies was prepared at the scene, dozens of balloons were decorated everywhere, and Hawking was sitting in a wheelchair, quietly waiting for possible "time travelers" to come from the future.
His carer came over and said, "Professor, where are the banners you want?"
Hawking used his voice synthesizer in a wheelchair, and it took a long time to reply: "Hang it in the living room, and then you can take a picture of me."
The nurse named Elaine, who has been working for him for ten years, smiled and hung a "Welcome Time Traveler" banner in the brightly lit living room.
Looking at the words on the banner, Elaine smiled and said, "Wow, it turns out that our doctor wants to discuss cosmic events with future people. As a Muggle, shouldn't I be there?"
"Of course, so don't steal the salad. People in the future will know what you do." Hawking tilted his neck and said in his unique electronically synthesized voice.
Elaine laughed more happily. She took out her phone and took a photo of Hawking, and then took a few photos of the party table, balloons, and banners.
Finally, she picked up the plate and ate the fruit salad and said, "Really? Professor, if I steal a piece, will people know about it in the future? Um, there is less salad dressing."
"Of course people in the future will know, because this is something that has already happened to them." Hawking said.
Elaine ate a few pieces and said, "Don't you think that time travel does not exist? I remember what protection is called..."
"The timing protection conjecture, so this is a test and a joke. I know the future, but I can't return to the present to tell you." Hawking said.
"A joke?" Elaine smiled.
Hawking tilted his neck and smiled. Part of his facial muscles can move, but his smile is more like a grin.
"There will be no guests. Elaine, you can eat a little first, but don't move the ten bottles of Cook Champagne. I want to collect them." Hawking finally showed up.
Elaine knew this was the case. As the scientist who least recognized time travel, how could Hawking support such a thing as the future travel to the past?
He also took out ten bottles of Cook Champagne from his own collection, which was bleeding.
Sure enough, it was just a pose, just a pose.
Elaine said: "Professor, there was a man who was wandering outside the yard just now, and he was driven away by Thomson, as if he was using your door as a dating place. Isn't he the future person? Your security might let you miss Made a great discovery."
Hawking said: "The real future man should bring my invitation letter. My invitation letter only exists in my brain and will not be announced until tomorrow."
Elaine clapped her hands and said, "Sure enough, you didn't plan to have anyone coming... No wonder you took out your most precious champagne collection."
Hawking said: "Time travel cannot be done, it has too many unexplainable paradoxes, so when the time travel appears, the law of causality is paradoxical, and time and space collapse."
"I think there is always an invisible force interfering with the timing and will not let this happen! It's just like the cosmic supervisor guessed."
Elaine said: "So you want to do an experiment before retirement to prove that time travel does not exist..."
Hawking grinned, and the electronic voice said: "This experiment is not rigorous. Although I firmly believe that time travel does not exist, I must admit that even if the time traveler does not come, it may be that my party is not attractive enough, or it may be It is the law of the future that does not allow time to pass, or it may be...the human being has no future..."
Elaine shrugged and said, "Humanity has no future...This is terrifying."
"I now hope that time travellers can join your party and finish all your champagne!"
Hawking quipped: "No! Champagne is my treasure, I won't let them be drunk."
"But professor, if the time traveler does come, what do you do? Will you go crazy?" Elaine laughed.
Hawking grinned, thinking for a long time, and then said in an electronic voice: "If anyone is attending this party, I won't send out an invitation letter!"
Elaine was stunned and said in surprise: "Huh? No invitation letter?"
Hawking said: "This is also a paradox similar to the grandmother's paradox. If there is no future person attending the party, it means that time travel does not exist to a certain extent. If there is a future person attending the party, then I will not send an invitation letter. I want to know. , How did he come with my invitation letter!"
Elaine was surprised: "Isn't this a paradox?"
Hawking said: "Yes, if the paradox is really allowed to happen, it is very likely that time and space will collapse, and cause and effect will collapse. According to my timing protection conjecture, either the time traveler will be erased instantly, or the universe itself will collapse, or the time machine will no longer exist. ."
"So the experiment I'm talking about is not rigorous, I think so, future travelers will naturally know the consequences, so even if they have this technology, they dare not come!"
Elaine looked at Hawking speechlessly, okay...this is completely...no one planned to come at all.
"In order to protect your champagne, you are also fighting..." Elaine said.
Hawking said with deep eyes: "The invitation letter paradox is equivalent to the grandmother paradox. This is not something I am making things difficult, but a risk that I must face at any time of travel. So if you want to participate in this party, you must overcome the paradox. problem."
Elaine thought: "So whether it is the universe in order not to be destroyed, or the time traveler in order not to be erased, this all points to a result, that is, no one will attend this party. Even if God lets him come, it will be erased instantly. Go to him,"
Hawking said: "This is timing protection, so time travel won't exist."
"So I took out all the champagne collections and made this bet, and I won't lose. Are the pictures finished? You can put the champagne back."
Ding Dong!
As soon as Elaine picked up the two bottles of champagne on the table, she heard the doorbell and glanced over.
At the same time, Hawking's eyes rolled slightly, staring at the door.
"It's me, Elaine." Security Thomson's voice came from outside the door.
Elaine breathed a sigh of relief. She thought she really had time for the traveler to come. She walked over to open the door, and saw two people walking outside, one the security guard and the other a Chinese man in casual clothes.
The Chinese man nodded slightly to Hawking in the center of the living room, then showed the invitation letter with one hand, and grabbed the other hand toward Elaine's skirt.
As he nodded, Thomson said, "Professor, he came with an invitation letter and said he was attending your party. You didn't tell me what the invitation letter looks like. Can you see this?"
After hearing this, Elaine shook her whole body, shaking her hand, and champagne slipped from her hand.
At the same time, however, that hand happened to arrive and firmly caught the champagne.
"Professor Hawking's collection, don't break it." The Chinese man said in fluent English and returned the champagne to Elaine.
"..." Elaine didn't dare to pick it up, saying that no one would come?
She quickly looked at Hawking, saw Hawking grinning, eyes staring, and an expression wishing to stand up!
But the speech synthesizer didn't say a word. He was using his few active muscles to control the speech synthesizer, but his heart was so confused that he couldn't organize a word for a long time.
"What about Q? Where is the Q I want to send?"
Hawking organized the language, but couldn't find the letters he wanted. In a hurry, he thought that he could send the phrase directly.
"Yes! Yes! Yes!"
Seeing Hawking said this, Thomson knew he was saying that the invitation letter was correct.
"Understood, I will invite those who hold this kind of invitation letter to come in directly. I wish you a happy party, Professor." Thomson said leaving, and looked at the one in the living room before leaving. Banner'Welcome Time Traveler'.
Thomson smiled and thought to himself that Professor Hawking would really play.
He didn't know what party this was before, and Hawking only told him that if someone had an invitation, he would be brought in.
He was only a little surprised when he saw the Time Traveler Party at this moment. There are no aliens in an alien party, and no future in a futuristic party. This is normal. The theme of the party is not important at all, the important thing is communication.
The security left, and Elaine was still at the door, at a loss.
Hawking's breathing became more rapid and it was difficult to speak steadily, so he could only send the phrase frantically: "Please come in! Please come in! Please come in! Please come in!"
The Chinese man walked into the living room and bowed slightly to Hawking, "Hello, Professor Hawking, my name is Huaxu, and it is enough to call me "Hua"."
The person here is Huang Ji, and this universe is the only one who can come to this party with an invitation letter.
Hawking was dying in a hurry. The more anxious he was, the more he couldn't organize his language. He even felt breathless right now.
And Elaine was also stunned, not knowing how to come and help herself.
Elaine was really shocked.
She knew from Hawking's reaction that the invitation letter was right.
Are you kidding me? I said so many people in the future cannot come to the party with an invitation letter, but this person came?
And as soon as he entered the door, he caught the champagne that he had accidentally dropped, and that calmness brought her extremely terrifying mystery.
Yes, horror.
Elaine didn't know what Ye Gong was a good dragon, but her feeling at the moment was the same as Ye Gong.
Throw a party like a joke and invite time travellers, but they really came...
It's as if you don't believe in ghosts, and then make a ritual of recruiting ghosts. As a result, the ghost runs to the front and says: Are you looking for me?
In fact, even those who believe in the existence of aliens, when the aliens descend on their heads, the first reaction is horror.
The feeling that the worldview is instantly impacted is an indescribable fear.
Elaine leaned against the door, holding champagne in both hands, her body stiff, her wrists trembling slightly.
She was at a loss and even forgot what she should do.
Huang Ji gave them time to calm down, came to the table, and glanced at the so-called delicacy on the table.
Well, he doesn't want to eat anything except fruit...
Elaine looked at Huang Ji with her back to her, and suddenly remembered such an important moment, should she take a photo?
She just took out the phone...
Suddenly Huang Ji said: "Elaine, you are in control of Professor Hawking's Twitter. It is best to get his consent before taking pictures and tweets, otherwise it will lead to serious consequences."
Standing behind Huang Ji, Elaine, who had already taken out her mobile phone, threw it away in shock.
"Oh my God! What am I doing!" Elaine was really terrified, taking pictures and tweets by herself, would it cause the universe to collapse?
"Yes, yes, yes... sorry!"
"I don't mean anything else! I didn't mean to destroy the world on purpose!"
Elaine spoke incoherently. She remembered what Hawking said about causal paradox, the collapse of time and space, and so on, and she immediately thought about it in a random manner.
How did the time traveler know she was taking pictures? Do you really take photos and tweet in the future? Which led to serious consequences? Killed a lot of people?
Especially when Huang Ji said, "It will lead to very serious consequences." Elaine instantly substituted herself into the kind of idiot that is common in movies, almost destroying the world because of ignorance.
She obviously thinks too much, since the future person is standing in front of him, then the so-called timing protection is completely invalid.
"Calm, the universe is strong and won't collapse so easily." Huang Ji put down Cook Champagne and picked up a plate of fruit salad.
But at this moment, Elaine knew that she was going to entertain, and quickly came to the table.
What Huang got to the extreme was the fruit salad he had stolen before.
Elaine wondered if she should tell the other party that she had eaten the fruit.
As a result, Huang Ji directly handed the plate to himself.
"This is what you prepared. Of course you can eat whatever you want." Huang Ji said.
Elaine was stunned, she didn't say anything yet.
Huang Ji added some salad dressing and said, "It's almost there now."
"..." Elaine trembling, took the fruit salad.
Sure enough, do people in the future know that they will steal fruit salad?
When she stole it before, she did complain about the lack of salad dressing.
Elaine silently placed the Cook Champagne that had been put away, and shook it instinctively, preparing to open the bottle.
"No, I don't drink, let Professor Hawking continue to collect." Huang Ji said.
Elaine's hand stiffened and looked at Hawking.
Hawking was so anxious that his lips trembled. No, he had trouble breathing.
Elaine came to Hawking immediately. She knew that Hawking's health was very bad recently. Even on April 6th, she cancelled the foreign visit due to illness and went to the hospital for treatment.
"Professor, how about you? Do you want to go to the hospital?" Elaine said instinctively while putting him on a ventilator.
Hawking is speechless, what hospital is he going to!
He would rather die than eat fruit after the time traveler arrives!
It's also to blame himself for not being ready for the time traveler to come, so that he and Elaine are so at a loss.
Elaine's brain went blank nervously, and he had difficulty breathing, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.
At this moment, Huang Ji walked in front of him, eating an orange in one hand, rubbing Hawking’s throat with the other, using a cushion to raise Hawking’s neck slightly, and inserting it with a needle His crypt.
In an instant, Hawking felt much better at UU reading www.uukanshu.com. He still could not move, but his breathing became smoother.
He looked at Huang Ji carefully again, and the Chinese in front of him looked plain and casual, but he had an unspeakable mystery and confidence.
Hawking had fantasized about meeting with a time traveler countless times, but never imagined that the other party would be a Chinese.
But after careful consideration, there seems to be an unexpected but reasonable sense of fit.
"Welcome! Hua, I'm sorry, I didn't expect that I would really come..." Hawking finally said.
Huang Ji smiled and said, "I have another hour and a half to be with you. You don't have to be too excited."
"Aren't you afraid to change history?" Hawkins didn't care about Huang Ji's magical medical skills to relieve his symptoms. He had too many questions to ask.
Huang Ji said: "History cannot be changed, it can only be created."
