Chapter 150 Teacher
"Is Zhou Cheng... asleep?"
"Already asleep."
"oh."
The first decision maker nodded softly, feeling a little empty in his heart.
As Zhou Cheng falls asleep, their side will soon lose contact with Mercury and the Hope spacecraft.
Because the satellites orbiting Mercury are almost reaching the end of their lifespan.
The intense radiation from the sun constantly damages their already fragile bodies. The fact that they have been able to function without damage until now is already beyond our expectations.
Suppressing the thoughts in his mind, the first decision maker turned his attention to another matter.
"Has the scientific team come up with a conclusion?"
"not yet."
"Don't be anxious, take your time, we still have time."
"yes."
At this point, Zhou Cheng's deduction had been announced to the entire human world. Although there was no actual evidence to support it, almost everyone had already assumed that this was the truth and began to think about it based on it.
After all…if this isn’t the truth, then how come it aligns so well with the existing intelligence?
Therefore, the sentence "As long as we live, the Moon Goddess will die" became known to everyone.
Everyone is thinking about this sentence and this paradox.
The hope of continuing human civilization lies in this paradox.
But unfortunately, even if all the wisdom of mankind is mobilized, people have not been able to find a glimmer of hope from this paradox.
To continue civilization, you must first kill the Moon God. To kill the Moon God, you must first continue civilization.
These two conditions are basically mutually locked and mutually dependent, and cannot be achieved at all.
It's like the key is stuck in the lock and it's impossible to open it.
The scientific team has also devoted a lot of energy to this, thinking about one possibility after another. Unfortunately, when it comes to this problem, their wisdom does not seem to be much higher than that of ordinary people.
Time passed quietly, and gradually, the wave of discussion about this issue slowly dissipated, and the human world returned to peace. At the same time, a slightly pessimistic view resurfaced.
Only a savior has the ability to resolve this paradox. However, it is impossible for the human world to produce a savior.
Our only hope of savior is currently sleeping on Mercury. We no longer have enough power to rescue him, and even if we do, with our immature hibernation technology, we will not be able to wake him up.
The space capabilities left over from the heyday had been completely exhausted by the trip to Mercury, with almost nothing left.
The existing launch facilities can only launch a few satellites at most, and those are launched into orbit around the earth.
There is no savior. There is no hope.
Besides…if they hadn't been so certain back then, would those Ascending Dimension Faction guys have just died so easily? How could the Moon Goddess have allowed them to die?
…
A school somewhere in Dajing City.
"Everyone, pay attention to the blackboard. The essence of multiplication is actually the superposition of addition. Three times two is the sum of two threes, and three times three is the superposition of three threes... Chen Qing! Pay attention!"
On the podium, Liu Yu, with a thin layer of chalk dust on his hair, threw the half-broken chalk in his hand accurately onto the head of a chubby, mischievous little boy.
The little boy immediately let go of the little girl's braid and sat down obediently in his seat.
Liu Yu scolded him, “If you don’t listen carefully and study hard, how can you save our civilization in the future?
Don't forget, the hopes of our entire civilization rest on your generation! You have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders!"
The little boy named Chen Qing raised his hand.
"What are you going to say!"
Chen Qing stood up and said loudly: "Teacher, you are wrong.
I've heard adults say a long time ago that there's no hope for us humans anymore and it's impossible for a savior to be born.
We did have a savior before, what was his name... "
"Zhou Cheng! It's Zhou Cheng!"
The other elementary school students called out the name loudly.
"Yes, it's Zhou Cheng! But unfortunately, he's on Mercury now and can't come back."
Chen Qing said loudly: "Since there is no hope, what's the point of learning all this? We might as well have some fun for a while."
"right!"
The students all started to make noises: "Teacher Liu, are you going to have the next physical education class?"
"Is the PE teacher sick again?"
"We have gym class! We want to play!"
Liu Yu's expression darkened.
"Chen Qing! Sun Tian! Li Zhaohui! Stand at the door!"
Seeing Liu Yu angry, the students immediately quieted down, as if they were a mouse. The three students who were called out also stood up obediently.
The students all knew that if they really angered Teacher Liu, he would really slap them on the palms.
"Since you know Zhou Cheng, do you know what he said when he decided to go to Mercury?"
Liu Yu said word by word: "Never give up hope.
As long as you don't give up hope, there is still hope.
In pursuit of the hope of our human civilization, he took a one-way spacecraft to Mercury, and finally found out the truth about the catastrophe, which pushed the research of our civilization forward a big step.
Are you going to give up hope and fall into depravity now at such a young age?"
The primary school students gradually fell silent.
"Continue the class!"
The class finally ended. Liu Yu finished his part-time teaching job and returned home tired.
Looking at himself in the mirror, looking a little haggard and with crow's feet at the corners of his eyes that could not be concealed, Liu Yu smiled self-deprecatingly.
"Ten years have already passed in the blink of an eye... I'm old too."
Before I knew it, ten years had passed since I'd parted ways with Zhou Cheng. It had also been several years since I'd lost contact with him.
During this time, Liu Yu, a scientist specializing in general relativity, also participated in research on the paradox. Unfortunately, there was no progress.
"Even elementary school students are affected. Is there really no hope for our civilization?"
Liu Yu murmured.
"If only Ah Cheng were still here, he would definitely find a way."
If Zhou Cheng were still here, if Zhou Cheng were still here...
Liu Yu lay quietly on the bed, emptying his mind.
If Zhou Cheng were still alive, how would he resolve this paradox? What methods would he use, and from what perspectives would he approach it?
Liu Yu tried his best to adjust his mind and tried to understand the current problem with Zhou Cheng's way of thinking.
After a long period of thinking, nothing was found.
But Liu Yu did not give up.
In the following time, she carried out scientific research while working as a part-time teacher. Whenever she had free time, she tried hard to think about this problem.
