The two mothers came back, and after a lively dinner, Jiang Chen, who had been in a tense state since his rebirth, completely relaxed for the first time.
After staying at home for a week, Shi Fengyue, who finally couldn't bear it any longer, called him out.
The two had been together for a long time but had never dated before. However, neither of them was romantic, and given their sensitive identities, they decided to have the date at home. After watching a movie together, Shi Fengyue cooked a meal with the precision and cleanliness of a surgeon.
Jiang Chen was watching from the sidelines and couldn't help laughing. Then he recalled what he had heard before and asked curiously, "How did you choose to study medicine when you are so talented in computers?"
Shi Fengyue paused while cutting the chicken, put down the knife, turned on the tap to rinse his hands: "To repay the favor."
Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows, and then recalled something he had heard about Shi Fengyue. An idea suddenly occurred to him: "You were missing for half a year?"
Shi Fengyue wiped his hands and his eyelashes moved, as if he agreed with his words, and seemed to remember something, and he fell into a certain emotion.
Jiang Chen didn't ask any more questions and waited patiently for him to calm down.
"My father is an explorer and a photographer. I have only seen him a few times since I was a child. My mother divorced him because of this." Shi Fengyue pulled Jiang Chen to sit on the sofa, hugged him from behind, and rested his chin on his shoulder. "When I was sixteen, my father disappeared in a paragliding accident. I went to look for him without telling my family. Later, I was injured and was in a coma in a hospital for half a year."
Jiang Chen was stunned, thinking that this was the reason why Shi Fengyue disappeared and later studied medicine, but unexpectedly his voice was hoarse for a moment, tightened his arms and continued: "In that half year, I went to another world, or should I say, I was reborn into the world of the future."
"That was a time when... humans were called 'low-class citizens' and were no different from livestock and white mice. I was reborn into a six-year-old child. There was not a single piece of good flesh on that child's body. It was all wounds, and his legs were broken. If he hadn't been treated later, he would have been paralyzed for life. I thought I was dreaming at the time, but I couldn't get up. I excreted in my pants, and the smell was so sobering."
Shi Fengyue chuckled and paused. "After I woke up, I knew I wouldn't live long. In that environment and that era, a child with a lame leg couldn't survive at all. But two men who passed by saved me. They took me back, healed my leg, and raised me. Maybe because they saw that I was resisting, they didn't let me call you dad, but only teacher..."
His two teachers are a doctor named Yang Changxin and an expert in machine learning named Jiang Jian.
In the early years of being enslaved by alien pressure, any skills related to technological development are useless. Aliens do not allow lower citizens to possess any means beyond the scope of their rights, especially technology. Once discovered, they will be imprisoned and tortured.
However, whenever there are troubled times, there will always be a group of pioneers who dare to resist. They are like a beam of light that never goes out. They work together and work hard for the future of mankind.
Yang Changxin and Jiang Jian are part of such a group of people. They have to work sufficient hours in their assigned positions every day, and at the same time squeeze out all the time they can. One of them rushes around to treat people in need, while the other is locked in a small, dark basement to study the project he has been studying since he was on Earth.
This project already has a prototype, but this interstellar migration has caused too much data to be lost. In addition, the aliens strictly control all resources, and the electricity standards are extremely strict. Computers are hard to find, and network capture devices are hidden everywhere. Once it is discovered that any human is using the Internet privately or trying to study a scientific project that "destroys interstellar peace", all participants will be subjected to the most severe torture in the interstellar.
Therefore, this project has been hidden in the dark. Jiang Jian firmly believes that this is the way forward for mankind and the hope for a turnaround.
However, before the day of recovery came, the road ahead collapsed.
Someone informed on others and leaked Jiang Jian's research, including the location of the hidden basement. At that time, Yang Changxin happened to go to the basement to help Jiang Jian clean up. The alien law enforcer who broke in put the latest quantum weapon against Yang Changxin's head and asked about his identity.
Yang Changxin was so smart that he guessed the purpose of this group of law enforcers' arrival almost in a breath. He immediately acknowledged Jiang Jian's identity, and in order to protect Jiang Jian, he resisted law enforcement and was beaten by the law enforcers. After he let down his guard, he endured the pain of the bones from the waist down being melted bit by bit, and destroyed his own and Jiang Jian's identities, and destroyed all the information on Jiang Jian's research project.
When Shi Fengyue learned of Yang Changxin's death, he was helping a patient who came to visit for a follow-up examination. Jiang Jian sat aside in deep thought. As usual, he held a pen and wrote something on a newspaper that was already filled with new words that could not be seen clearly.
Shi Fengyue put away the stethoscope, and Jiang Jian reached out for the cup. As usual, he didn't pay any attention to the cup when he was thinking about something. However, this time Yang Changxin was not there to pay attention, and Shi Fengyue was standing far away, so the cup fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
Jiang Jian was brought back to his senses by the sound. He stood up and wanted to clean up, but the door was pushed open.
He was a friend who had a very good relationship with Jiang Jian. He rushed in in a hurry with a panicked look. When he saw the harmonious scene inside, his nose was sore at first, and then he announced the bad news.
Shi Fengyue could not forget his astonishment and hatred at that time, but Jiang Jian was only in a trance for a while. He calmly told his friend that he already knew about it. After his friend left, he bent down and fumbled to pick up the broken glass, as calmly as if the cup had just slipped. No one pushed the door in, and the patient did not leave with a look of sympathy or understanding.
Jiang Jian was calm for a long time, so long that Feng Yue thought he had suppressed the matter to the bottom of his heart, until that day, Jiang Jian protected him without hesitation, and showed his first smile since the news of Chang Xin's death. Before he died, he seemed to recall and entrust: "You are very talented in computers. At the beginning, Chang Xin and I almost had a fight to snatch you. In the end, he convinced me with the survival of mankind and accepted you as his student. I have always regretted that you did not follow me to do research, but now I think it is a good thing. The backup data is in the secret compartment in Chang Xin and I's room, but promise me, never open it."
"Live well and don't forget your teacher's expectations."
Jiang Chen held his breath and turned to look at Shi Fengyue: "Do you know the name of the project your teacher is researching..."
Shi Fengyue let go of Jiang Chen, met his gaze, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Each of them took a character from their names."
Jiang Chen's eyes widened, and he suddenly realized something. Ever since he heard the names of Shi Fengyue and his two teachers, he had a premonition. After listening to their stories, countless complex emotions surged in his heart.
When he was reborn in the interstellar age, the founding years had long passed, and the little bit recorded in the history books was enough to shock those who studied history at the time, but those who had not experienced that era would never know how hard and difficult that era was.
Therefore, Jiang Chen likes to study history, examine and generate inspiration by recalling the past.
At that time, he was just a student in the School of Computer Science and had not determined a specific direction. Until one day, when he was browsing materials in the library's ancient book database, he saw an old and thick notebook. The notebook recorded information about a project called "Yangtze River". In addition, there were some scattered records of inspiration. Some pages of this notebook were missing, and some places had even been noted by others. The handwriting was obviously different, and it was obvious that it had been read by many people. However, few people read the second half of the book.
There is no other reason. The pages are too missing. Even if you guess, you can't read it. Moreover, according to the technological level of the interstellar age at that time, this research project was seriously backward. Although some ideas are very interesting, the reason is the same as the project in this notebook cannot be carried out. In the interstellar age with serious lack of information, these creative ideas cannot be realized.
But Jiang Chen was overjoyed and immediately determined his graduation topic and research direction. He tried and experimented again and again, and failed again and again. After this repetitive cycle, the Yangtze River was finally born.
After that, Jiang Chen jumped from a student to a professor. Later, he became the person in charge of the entire federal project. Standing on the podium of the most authoritative scientific research and development award in the interstellar, he explained the origin of the "Yangtze River".
Everyone thought that the Yangtze River was named after his surname, but that was not the case. There was a passage written on the last page of the book:
My love, you always complain that I don’t say I love you, but you don’t know that the Yangtze River is the inspiration that burst out on the day you and I were together, and it is also the gift I most want to give you. Its existence is my most warm and sincere love for you. I look forward to its birth so that everyone can hear, I love you.
Jiang Chen was moved by this pure love, and was also grateful to this unknown predecessor who could be regarded as his teacher, so he continued the wish of this unknown author and let everyone know that the name Changjiang means his love Changxin.
After being reborn, Jiang Chen still used the name Changjiang out of respect and habit, and also to continue the love of his teacher who inspired him, Mr. Changxin.
Just as he said, every time someone uses the Yangtze River, he is saying for him that he loves Changxin.
"The Yangtze River..." Jiang Chen murmured in a low voice.
"Thank you." Shi Fengyue pressed his forehead against Jiang Chen's: "They must be very happy."
