Genius Club-Chapter 593 - 20 Sunset in Copenhagen (Additional update for Alliance Master Mo Wen Zui Hui!)
```
"Since neither of us knows where to go, and I don’t know where to go either..."
Lin Xian spread her hands:
"Why don’t we just wander around? We catch a bus, and wherever it takes us, we get off and see whatever sights are there."
Honestly, he was quite surprised.
Because both he and Liu Feng had unanimously believed that Huang Que must have lied as usual due to the constraints of Space-Time Elasticity and was going to give herself a hint.
But unexpectedly.
She actually just wanted to wander around this foreign city...

Wandering around.
That was exactly the hardest part.
Having no other choice, Lin Xian resorted to this last-ditch strategy.
Luckily, Copenhagen was already an internationally renowned tourist city, with a highly developed tourism industry and very complete tourist services and infrastructure.
From the airport, one could directly board a tourist shuttle bus, and since the routes of these buses were quite well-planned, it was possible to do as Lin Xian suggested and wander wherever the bus took them.
Lin Xian pointed to the tourist bus line that had just arrived at the station:
"Let’s take this bus, there are a lot of sights along the route, which means no need to worry about choice paralysis."
Huang Que smiled slightly and nodded:
"Good idea."
The bus’s automatic doors closed... The vehicle started and headed for the suburbs.
There weren’t many people on the bus, less than half full, and since there were few vehicles on the road, the tourist bus moved quickly.
Huang Que looked out the window at the rapidly retreating scenery, her thoughts unknown.
Perhaps she was truly enjoying the view.
It must be said that Denmark, relatively speaking, had wide-open spaces with few people, so the natural scenery was still quite nice, it’s just that there were scarcely any animals in sight, probably because most livestock were bred on a large scale.
Lin Xian also peered over Zhao Yingjun’s fluffy hat at the green mountains outside the bus:
"My main knowledge of Copenhagen comes from that century debate on quantum mechanics between Einstein and Bohr."
"I know about that,"
Huang Que said quietly:
"But actually, that debate wasn’t held in Copenhagen, but in Brussel, Belgium, during the fifth Solvay Conference."
"That century debate brought together the world’s top physicists... Einstein, Planck, Madame Curie, Schrödinger, Heisenberg, Lorentz, Richardson, Born... all household names of genius physicists."
"Even though these geniuses were at loggerheads due to certain views on quantum mechanics, each sticking to their guns, the essence was still to argue for the common progress and development of human civilization. Therefore, that century debate was of great positive significance for the development of physics in the hundred years that followed."
"After the debate ended, a famous photograph was taken, hailed as the ’all-star photo’ of human physicists, the smartest group of people on Earth, and so on. You have to admit, those claims weren’t an exaggeration. Even a hundred years later, no other photograph has surpassed it."
"Those were the real geniuses..."
Lin Xian reflected aloud:
"Those Xianxia fantasy novels always like to write that the more ancient something is, the more powerful it is, and all martial arts are stronger the older they are. But why does the scientific community also have such an illusion? In fact, the achievements of many scientists in our era, whether compared horizontally or vertically, have already surpassed those scientists."
"But... whenever great scientists are mentioned, the few ancient names keep coming up over and over again, Newton, Gauss, Galileo, Einstein, Edison... When it comes to Nobel Prize winners in Physics in recent years, chances are no one knows."
Huang Que looked out the window at the scenery, falling silent.
Suddenly, she turned her head towards Lin Xian:
"I suddenly want to ask, who is your favorite scientist?"
"Me?"
Lin Xian hadn’t really thought about it at the moment.
Huang Que looked into Lin Xian’s eyes:
"It doesn’t have to be a scientist, just any of those historical geniuses... If you were to choose the one you respect, like, and admire the most, who would it be?"
"Well..."
Lin Xian fell into thought:
"I really find it difficult to answer this question. The first thing that comes to mind is probably a reflexive answer like Einstein, right? After all, his name is too well-known."
"If you’re talking about geniuses, not just in the field of science but also including the field of art... I guess I actually prefer Da Vinci, or maybe Beethoven."
Huang Que couldn’t help but smile:
"Beethoven is good."
"Da Vinci not so much?" Lin Xian asked.
Huang Que just smiled without saying anything.
Just then.
The bus stopped.
The announcement in English informed the passengers that Andersen Cemetery had been reached.
"Should we get off and take a look?"
Lin Xian pointed to the sign outside the window:
"’Andersen’s Fairy Tales,’ it should be the same Andersen."
"Of course, there aren’t many famous Andersens in the world." Huang Que stood up and walked toward the door.
...
It was something Lin Xian had truly never considered.
He had never properly read "Andersen’s Fairy Tales," yet here he was visiting Andersen’s Cemetery before reading, as if bringing a blade straight to the author.
Most of the foreign fairy tales Lin Xian knew were not from reading fairy tale books, but from hearsay from various other sources.
He knew that Snow White was supposedly revived by the Prince’s kiss in the end;
knew that the little match girl died in the illusions of the flames.
