Before the end of the holiday, Jiang Chen went to the old house and had a meal with his family.
After dinner, Mr. He called Jiang Chen to his study. In addition to asking about his life in the past six months, he also asked about Jiang Chen's work. Jiang Chen's transfer order to the joint research area had been issued, and the Yangtze River system and DTW system had also been exposed to a small range. The He family knew more than ordinary people, but they also knew the nature of Jiang Chen's work. They simply showed concern and gave him a few words of advice, and did not ask too much.
Jiang Chen had not spent much time with Mr. He. He respected him very much, but they were not close. Apart from the most basic greetings, they could not find any other topics to talk about. The old man and the young man were silent for a while. Mr. He stroked the carved patterns on the armrest of the sandalwood armchair and sighed deeply: "How is He Qianjian?"
Jiang Chen told the truth: "His condition is not very good."
Although he is on vacation now, as the general manager of the DTW project in the future, Jiang Chen must always be aware of He Qianjian's status so that he can deal with the next research more calmly, so someone will report to him about He Qianjian's situation every day.
He Qianjian's current physical condition must be the best since he entered the Military Research Institute. After all, his health and life span are related to the duration and progress of the research. However, his mental state is very dangerous.
Jiang Chen has received psychological evaluation forms of He Qianjian these days, and the results are not optimistic. As time goes on, he is worried that He Qianjian may fall into complete confusion. Once he loses his reason and clarity, it will definitely affect the DTW research project. So no matter how painful He Qianjian is, he will definitely find ways to keep He Qianjian sober and help them with their research.
It may sound cold-blooded to say this, but Jiang Chen has no time to care. It has nothing to do with his personal grudge with He Qianjian. The burden on him is too heavy, especially after talking with Shi Fengyue. The heaviness and urgency are always weighing on him. He Qianjian's tragic end can be said to be what he deserves. If history develops, how innocent will humans be if they experience another era of pioneering?
"Not very well... Is he not feeling well?"
Mr. He looked calm as he spoke, but his hands stroking the carved patterns betrayed him. Jiang Chen caught a glimpse of him and pondered for a moment: "There is nothing wrong with his physical condition, but his mental condition is very bad. He now has the intention of self-harm and suicide."
"Self-harm..." Mr. He was slightly startled, his drooping eyelids revealing his fatigue and vicissitudes: "Such a proud child..."
He was silent for a long time before he finished speaking.
"Grandpa, can I ask you for a favor?"
Jiang Chen: "You say."
"I want to see He Qianjian."
"good."
…
It is not known what Mr. He and He Qianjian said to each other, but He Qianjian, who had been refusing to cooperate with the research, suddenly became silent. He no longer resisted and hurt himself intentionally, and began to cooperate with the research. The system had almost exhausted all its energy in order to send the positioning signal, and was forcibly controlled in He Qianjian's body. It was unable to kill the host and escape, so the researchers had to open all its information and data to study the technology of its home planet and use it to develop the Earth.
On the day the joint research area was established, just like the day the system intercepted the signal, news broadcast by all countries in different languages appeared on all electronic screens that could display it. The difference from that day was that the news was extremely detailed and occupied everyone's electronic devices for the entire day.
Different time zones and locations all exploded because of this news.
The whole world was boiling.
Some people thought it was hackers just like last time, while others believed it was real. Media people frantically called the government or the country to seek the truth, young people gathered together to celebrate the Yangtze River and alien systems that sounded cool, scientific researchers asked their colleagues and senior teachers in the industry, and office workers who stayed up late and got up early joined the discussion at a loss...
While people all over the world were discussing the Yangtze River, DTW and aliens, scientists from various countries and fields gathered in the joint research area, and Jiang Chen officially became the person in charge of the DTW project and the Yangtze River project.
At the suggestion of scientists such as Jiang Chen, scientific research is no longer mysterious. The monthly discussion meetings that summarize the progress of the month and showcase the latest results have been changed to a recorded broadcast format. Like the joint conference, it is translated into six languages and broadcast at fixed times in countries around the world, allowing people all over the world to have a deeper understanding of the development and current situation of the earth.
Occasionally, when scientists of different skin colors and fields in the United Zone are taking a break, they will be invited to participate in the popular science programs specially opened by the United Nations, using simple words to popularize some scientific knowledge to the general public, or perhaps to discuss some topics, such as the current technological civilization level of aliens; what aliens might look like; which galaxy the alien planet is in; if calculated in light years, how long it would take for aliens to travel from the alien galaxy to the earth...
Through persistent, humorous and easy-to-understand popular science, ordinary people who have never been involved in the field of scientific research have also realized the current situation of the earth and understood that everyone must work together to fight against the interstellar war and alien species that will come sooner or later.
Humanity has become more united than ever before, with one heart focused on outward-facing issues. An interstellar federation without any more racial or national discrimination has begun to take shape. More and more young people are studying hard and devoting themselves to scientific research, further promoting the development of science and technology on Earth.
Ten years later, Earth's first interstellar battleship was completed, equipped with the latest updated Yangtze River system, achieving space jumps that were only seen in science fiction blockbusters.
In the same year, the young man who was called "Mr. Jiang" for no one knew how to address him also reached the age of thirty. He changed from "Mr. Jiang" to "Academician Jiang" and won the three most important awards in his field, as well as the Nobel Peace Prize that year.
Jiang Chen composed one of the four speeches, almost all of which were improvised on the spot. However, regardless of whether he was present or not, he would mention the most important person to him - Academician Shi - at the end of the speech.
At the only award ceremony he attended, Jiang Chen ended his speech by saying:
"Two seniors once guided me in developing the Yangtze River. The Yangtze River is the embodiment of their love for each other. I continued to use this name to commemorate their love and to express my gratitude for their guidance. I clearly remember that one of my teachers, Senior Jiang Jian, once wrote in his notebook, 'I love you, but you always complain that I don't say I love you'. I was moved when I saw it at the time. Now I think that he was teaching me that I should always say I love him."
"But when I think back, I can only count the number of times I said I loved him, but he never complained. He just told me time and time again that he loved me very much."
"Whenever I think of the way he said he loved me, I feel very happy and remind myself in my heart that I must remember to say I love him tomorrow."
"But every day when I open my eyes, there seems to be something more important occupying my time and attention. Everyone, including him, takes it for granted, because my job is vital to the world and to humanity. In the judgment of priorities, a word of love seems to be completely incomparable and not worth mentioning at all."
"It has been fourteen years since I met him. It was not until the last few days that I was able to slow down and have some time to think about myself. When I recalled the contents of the notebook again, I suddenly realized that compared to the two seniors and him, I had done too little in love."
"Senior Jiang Jian said that the existence of the Yangtze River is his most passionate and sincere love for Senior Yang Changxin."
"I want to say that your existence is my meaning."
"I love you."
——End of the article
The author has something to say: This book has been serialized on and off for nearly a year. During this period, I experienced great changes and gaps in my life. Whether it was writing or reality, my mentality collapsed at one point. It was everyone's tolerance that allowed me to get through it. I am really, really grateful. No words can describe it, I can only say thank you.
Today is the last day of May, and tomorrow is the beginning of the second half of 2020. I hope that everyone and I can enter a new stage on June 1st, which sounds very happy, and welcome a healthier and better self.
Finally, the extra chapter should only have one or two chapters, and we should take a few days off before updating again.
