Chapter 1508: Chapter 567: You’re Truly Remarkable

The whole affair looked sudden and rushed, but every rhythm was actually under Ren Zhong’s remote control.

Ever since the homecoming fleet left Source Star, under the guidance of the watchful Yujin Family, Wang Zhaofu Family, Wen Lei Family, and the occasionally awakened, overall-situation-controlling Chen Hanyu, the Source Star humans—short on resources, confined to a narrow activity range, yet, with Sun Ai’s help, still maintaining information access to the outside world—swiftly shifted into a new direction of development.

Specifically, the academic direction.

Ren Zhong, operating remotely, had spent a great deal of effort gradually building an academic atmosphere on Source Star.

Perhaps the natural environment on Source Star and the information-flow background of the planet system were particularly suited to human brain activity, which in turn made academic talent on Source Star spring up one after another.

In any case, in terms of depth of fundamental theoretical research, the Source Star Science Academy had already gradually surpassed the kin-related Red Blade Science Academy.

Especially after Ren Zhong moved the oxygen-rich environment he had freeloaded from Wangjiang Star back home—although Red Blade Star and Source Star took action almost simultaneously and the progress of building enriched environments on both planets was similar—the frequency at which academic personnel on Source Star burst into inspiration was clearly higher.

Ren Zhong had stayed at the Far Border Branch for two and a half years, and had sent back large amounts of foundational disciplinary knowledge.

For this new knowledge, Ren Zhong proactively carried out a meticulous division of labor. The Red Blade Science Academy was responsible for transforming results into applications, while the Source Star Science Academy was responsible for digesting, absorbing, and then conducting deeper analysis to sift out the essence.

By now, when facing several of Yang Misi’s ultimate questions, the Source Star Science Academy could already give relatively reliable answers.

After completing his silent meditation with eyes closed, Ren Zhong did not rush to respond. He merely told Yang Misi and the others that he needed to change to a quieter environment and think by himself.

Yang Misi and the director agreed.

Ren Zhong then went alone into the office next door.

In the conference room, only the director and the others were left alone with Yang Misi.

The director seized the chance and said, "Mr. Yang, you should already know about that proposal we mentioned before, right? I have no idea how confident you feel about this. Earl Red Blade Ren Zhong is truly remarkable; his research potential is by no means an empty reputation. Over these two years, although the development of the Fold Jump Battleship is still a distant prospect, we’ve already produced a large number of new technologies. We really don’t want to just let him leave. Someone with his kind of learning ought to be put to use in science."

Earlier, Yang Misi had thought the same way, so he had wanted to achieve the director’s goal of retaining Ren Zhong by personally taking him as a student.

But now, Yang Misi remained silent for a long time and only shook his head. "I’m not sure. As for confidence, I’m afraid I don’t have much left."

Before they knew it, three hours had passed. Ren Zhong returned to the conference room, holding a booklet in one hand.

The director and the others craned their necks, waiting eagerly, while Yang Misi had already rushed forward in two long strides, ready to snatch the booklet directly from Ren Zhong’s hand.

Unexpectedly, Ren Zhong swung the thing behind his back, hiding it.

Yang Misi was puzzled. "Mr. Ren, what do you mean by this?"

Ren Zhong cleared his throat lightly and said solemnly, "Mr. Yang, to speak frankly. The contents of this booklet are the distilled essence of my personal learning. The value of the ideas it contains even surpasses my patented coating. Originally, this should be submitted to the Royal Academy of Sciences for filing and registration as an academic patent before it’s revealed. But I’ve personally never been fully satisfied with it, so it has always remained in gestation. I haven’t dared to show it lightly, for fear of sending people down the wrong path and misleading the world. Today, because of your questions, you and I, as it were, met too late. My original intent was not to answer, but I also didn’t want to disappoint you, so I sorted out my thoughts in advance and grudgingly set them down in writing."

"However, no one else may read this. For them, seeing it would bring only harm, no benefit. At the same time, you, Mr. Yang, may for now only read it in front of me, and this book must be burned after reading. Its purpose is not to answer all of your questions, but to use your perplexities to inspire your train of thought. Keeping it with you is useless. Once you finish reading, you should slowly savor it, gradually digest it, reorganize your own scholarship, and ultimately perhaps carve out a path that belongs to you alone."

Yang Misi made an enlightened expression. "So that’s how it is. Then..."

As he spoke, both Yang Misi and Ren Zhong turned their heads in unison toward the director and the others not far away.

Though they said nothing more, the guest-expelling intent in their eyes and expressions was unmistakable.

The director was dumbstruck on the spot.

He really hadn’t expected that: I’m clearly the host here, so how did you two outsiders start acting like you own the place and issue a dismissal order to me?
