"Haha, if we were to hold things that 'could' be done as our standard, then science would no longer advance. As this is feasible, we have to advance in that direction. Thus, Professor Xiao Fei's topic of discussion is definitely correct."
w.a.n.g Zheng smiled. Xiao Fei also nodded her head, showing her satisfaction.
Carlos was speechless. Research was something that had no ending. If there was, why would there be a need to continue researching? This was the reason why scientists continued to pursue the truth, and he could not refute this reason.
Yue Jing's face turned green. This b.a.s.t.a.r.d was still so eloquent. After saying a bunch of things she did not understand, he started to scare her.
Gong Jin, who felt insulted, replied, "If you can't even handle him, then I'm greatly worried for our future!"
Carlos and Gong Jin glanced at each other momentarily. They were terribly uneasy, but there was no other way. Lear had previously promised that if they settled the situation satisfactorily, they would be able to enter the Solar System Federation's Science Research Inst.i.tute.
Gong Jin cleared his throat and said, "Student w.a.n.g, you are going around in circles. I would like to know if the world renowned genius Professor Xiao Fei has made any progress at all in all these years. Could you please give us students some confidence?!"
Everyone's gaze fell on Xiao Fei. Gong Jin's question was indeed something on everyone's minds. After researching for so many years, there should have been some result of some sort.
However, conducting research was not the same as debating. A large amount of research was conducted methodologically, eliminating hypotheses one at a time. However, the research had not progressed to such a step. Xiao Fei had experimented with numerous methods but none of them bore fruit.
At the same time, she could not divulge secret information just to refute the question.
At this point, w.a.n.g Zheng laughed. "We have deduced the method already!"
"Really? Then that must be good news for the Milky Way Alliance. I hope you won't tell me that it's confidential information!" Gong Jin smiled as he replied.
Absolute rubbish. If someone had discovered the method for research, it would have caused an uproar.
Xiao Fei stared at w.a.n.g Zheng. The two of them had indeed not talked about this before. What was this b.a.s.t.a.r.d trying to be, a scapegoat?
"w.a.n.g Zheng, this matter-"
"Teacher, although it can be considered a secret, I feel that divulging a bit of it will not harm anyone. Of course, this is only about its feasibility!"
w.a.n.g Zheng paused. The entire room's gazes rested on w.a.n.g Zheng, including Aina's. This topic was at the forefront of science, did he really have an answer?
w.a.n.g Zheng was often full of surprises. Aina was already mentally prepared for it.
"Being able to locate the seventh dimension is the current issue plaguing us. However, I believe that we need to split this problem into two parts. We will treat the current third dimension as a compound plane. This will allow us to control two layers at once. If the transmission is done in a state where speed is curved, it will cause displacement. Positioned in such a manner, the relative movement in s.p.a.cetime can s.h.i.+ft the relative coordinates of the object. Simply put, s.p.a.ce can be moved."
The visitors who were listening in were mostly from years three or four. The entire cla.s.sroom was silent; everyone was in deep thought as there were some concepts in w.a.n.g Zheng's speech that required time to understand.
On the other hand, Xiao Fei's eyes, which were full of wisdom, glittered brilliantly.
Moving s.p.a.cetime?!?!
This actually seemed possible!!!
The problem that had been pestering her for several years had been solved with that one explanation!
Carlos and Gong Jin looked at each other. Even though they didn't understand, they pretended they did. They had heard of other explanations before, but it was needless to say that just by coming up with such a theory would significantly shake up the Milky Way Alliance.
This could only mean that Professor Xiao Fei had kept a low profile and couldn't be bothered to argue with others.
Carlos and Gong Jin bowed deeply. "We thank you for your teachings."
The bell signifying the end of cla.s.s rang. Aina had been paying close attention to w.a.n.g Zheng's and Xiao Fei's expressions. It was obvious that with Xiao Fei's stunned and pensive expressions, this was not Xiao Fei's conjecture.
"Follow me, w.a.n.g Zheng."
Just as he was about to leave with Aina, w.a.n.g Zheng, who was about to take advantage of Aina, had a frown on his face as he stopped.
"I'm going to borrow your boyfriend for a bit." As they weren't too different in age, Xiao Fei spoke quite casually.
"No problem, Professor. Just remember to return him!" Aina replied with a sweet smile.
This girl was extremely intelligent. As a fellow female, Xiao Fei felt stunned.
Looking at w.a.n.g Zheng's distant figure, Yue Jing was so angry that she could not control herself, so she stomped away. w.a.n.g Zheng had once again defied the odds by sowing chaos with his words.
"Carlos, Gong Jin, with just their meagre ability, they dared to be so arrogant. The Physics
Department producing the most ill.u.s.trious students is just a lie. This w.a.n.g Zheng is a useless piece of c.r.a.p; how could you believe his random words?!"
Carlos and Gong Jin only replied after a brief pause. They were still trying to understand w.a.n.g Zheng's words. "Yue Jing, you're wrong about this. This w.a.n.g Zheng is a rarely found genius. The theory he spoke of, even if it is incorrect, will still stir up the entire scientific community. We cannot compete with him."
Carlos and Gong Jin no longer bothered with Yue Jing. The two of them went on their own way. Their eyes which had previously been clouded had now been cleared as though a window had appeared in front of them. Even if they were cynical individuals, they felt that this was a possibility. It was like the time when Newton's theory of gravity was superseded by the theory of relativity. This was sufficient to spur everyone on.
Truth is relative in science.
w.a.n.g Zheng had been dragged into Xiao Fei's office and then the door slammed shut. Student w.a.n.g was then pressed against the table by Xiao Fei.
This position…
However, Xiao Fei did not care at all about what others would think. She observed w.a.n.g Zheng intently, as though she was trying to fully comprehend what w.a.n.g Zheng was.
"Haha, Professor, if you have anything to say, we can just speak freely." Although he had done some intimate things with Aina, he had never been placed in such a position. Xiao Fei's body was almost pressing onto w.a.n.g Zheng's body directly. As Xiao Fei was a mature individual, her bodily proportions were fully developed, so w.a.n.g Zheng, a highly energetic young man, could not take it.
However, Xiao Fei did not care. "Brat, where did you learn all of that?!"
Although w.a.n.g Zheng was a genius, Xiao Fei did not believe that he could come up with what he had presented before.
This was what the Old Merchant had said. However, just as w.a.n.g Zheng wanted to say that, he remembered what the Old Merchant once said: the words spoken between them could not be mentioned to others.
w.a.n.g Zheng shrugged his shoulders helplessly. "Teacher, I was just speaking rubbish. That was just wisdom. Actually, I don't really understand what I was saying. As I said before, I am willing to believe in wild theories, but that was all just made up on the fly. Are you saying it was reasonable?"
w.a.n.g Zheng opened his eyes widely as he spoke. It was said that doing so would make a liar seem more honest.
Xiao Fei could not find any loopholes in his statement. At times, science required brilliant streaks of luck. It could only be said that this brat had great luck.
Suddenly, he felt like his lower body was being stared at by someone, then w.a.n.g Zheng felt his stomach lurch. Looking down, he could not hold back his reaction.
Xiao Fei then gingerly let go of w.a.n.g Zheng before giving him a nonchalant look. "Seems like you're truly worthy. It's a pity you already have a girlfriend; otherwise, I might have just kept you."
Student w.a.n.g felt defeated. How could this be a teacher? This was an evil demon. "Haha, Professor, if there's nothing else, I'm going to leave first."
"Looking at you, you're definitely a virgin. Your way of thinking is excellent and I will tell Professor Marcus about you."
w.a.n.g Zheng immediately escaped. F**k. Demon Xiao was just standing there spouting merciless words. If she wasn't his teacher, w.a.n.g Zheng would get back at her eventually.
Xiao Fei did not bother any further with this little episode. After w.a.n.g Zheng left, she was in an extremely enthusiastic mood, so she continued to make new inferences about the theory. It could be seen that although she was very boastful, her EQ and IQ were clearly unequaled.
The moment he left, he gave Aina a call. She was waiting for him in the library.
Just looking at Aina revitalized w.a.n.g Zheng. She gave a wry smile and asked, "Why are you here already?"
"I only know so much, and the rest was just something I came up with. If you did serious research, you would realize that too," w.a.n.g Zheng said helplessly as he waved his hands.
Aina did not say anything but looked at w.a.n.g Zheng. "Do you know that what you said just now was sufficient for you to go down in history as a genius?"
w.a.n.g Zheng was completely aware that the Old Merchant was an amazing geezer. However, what he talked about before was a conjecture of the Old Merchant and not his.
"I'm not that amazing."
Aina grabbed w.a.n.g Zheng's hand. "Ah, I'm slightly worried now."
"What are you worried about?" w.a.n.g Zheng asked curiously.
"Since you're so amazing, there will definitely be more and more love rivals," Aina said as she slyly ran off.
w.a.n.g Zheng couldn't help but sweat. "Okay then, my princess, since you dare to ridicule me, I need to collect some interest!"
On the gra.s.sy field, w.a.n.g Zheng and Aina chased each other energetically. In the end, the beautiful princess was caught by the big bad wolf and knocked onto the ground.
During the Tri-College Exchange, the famous professors would definitely have to show up. However, Xiao Fei did not care and gave it a miss.
Gu Te also had no say in the matter. He gave Xiao Fei a Skylink call but was rejected. On the third call, he was rejected rudely. Ah, even as a princ.i.p.al he felt wronged.
However, he knew that Xiao Fei had suddenly attained a breakthrough in her research. Her entire team and Marcus' team had been hastily doing research.
"Gu Te, this time we are also here because we wanted to meet Professor Xiao Fei. You've truly been underestimated by her. How could you treat us so coldly?"
In the princ.i.p.al's office, three old men were currently chatting and drinking tea.
The one who spoke was Apollo Military College's princ.i.p.al, Jamal. He had a head of golden hair and looked like he was in glowing spirits. For the last couple of years, Apollo Military College was the best one amongst the three.
"Jamal, you can forget about it; it's impossible to get get Xiao Fei to join you unless you're willing to step all over this old bag of bones."
Among the three, the one that looked the youngest was the princ.i.p.al from Zeus College, Adonis.
"Haha, if Xiao Fei joins us, our Apollo college will definitely be among the 50 best colleges in the Milky Way Alliance."
This was Jamal's dream.
"Haha, Jamal, you have yet to win, so don't get too excited," Adonis said. "However, this train of thought is beneficial for us. We need to find ways to improve our three colleges' ability."
Gu Te's defence was different. Jamal and Adonis sought to expand their abilities and were unwilling to descend into obscurity.
Gu Te gave a wry smile. "I know what you mean. However, wanting to enter the top 50 schools in the Milky Way Alliance is meaningless. We have to protect Earth's pride at least."
Adonis had suggested that the three colleges merge. Jamal on the other hand felt that a new college completely independent of their three colleges should be formed. They would focus their resources on this new college to create the best college on Earth.
Gu Te was in opposition of both of their ideas. A college was meant for the students, not for the sake of status. Although one needed glory for cohesion, strength, and belief, if it was only for glory's sake, then it would be meaningless.
With the three military colleges' strength, if they were to focus on only the exceptional students, this could be done. However, how would this affect the status quo on Earth?
This was no different from drinking poison to quench one's thirst.[1]
The three old men continued to discuss numerous methods and argued for some time. It was clear that Jamal and Adonis wanted to attain the position of champion amongst them. Gu Te, on the other hand, was quite ambivalent.
