Deep Space Wandering Fleet-Chapter 63 - A Busy Day

Chapter 63: Chapter 63 A Busy Day

“…To put it simply, that’s the situation. This person has had a lot of dark history even before, and we plan to slowly gather evidence and dig it all out. If we can implicate more scandals along the way, that would be even better!”

In the video, Professor Wang laughed heartily, “It’s all thanks to you that we found a good breakthrough, making them unknowingly walk into our trap. After this ordeal, the academic atmosphere in Xia Country will improve significantly.”

After hearing Professor Wang Zhong describe it that way, Zhang Yuan felt exhilarated, experiencing a deeply satisfying sense of avenging a great wrong.

The knowledge was an important legacy bestowed upon him by his father, and having it stolen like that would make anyone angry. But now, it finally belonged to him again.

He said very sincerely, “Thank you, Professor Wang!”

Professor Wang smiled, seeming to see the real thoughts in Zhang Yuan’s heart.

...

He sent over a picture—it was a real-time photograph of Earth.

“This should be the view of Earth that you’re seeing. I haven’t been to space in decades, and might not have the chance to go again…”

Zhang Yuan nodded, “Yes.”

From the Moon’s perspective, Earth was 14 times larger than when seen from the Earth looking at the Moon.

It was beautiful, shimmering like a sapphire with a charming halo.

Wang Zhong expressed his emotions, “Look, everything including the grudges and arguments you see online, are just minor stories happening on a small planet. In fact, they are just one in a billion of such stories…”

“Even if you are right at the epicenter of the planet, where a storm is currently raging…”

In the center of the screen, a tropical air mass was swirling.

It was the season prone to form typhoons, and it had a certain probability of developing into a major tropical storm.

“Even if it turns into a real typhoon… so what? It can only last for a few days, it will soon dissipate, and from the perspective of the universe, no one will remember that a storm ever occurred there.”

“Earth is just so small.”

“Don’t worry about those unimportant things.”

Zhang Yuan was stunned for a moment, realizing that since this incident occurred, he had been restless, wasting a lot of his time.

“You’re right…”

Being at the eye of the storm inevitably meant getting carried away by the wind, perhaps this was due to not being strong enough.

Wang Zhong said with a smile, “It’s okay, after all you are still young—it’s good to be aware of this. If I had endured such things at your age, I would have grabbed a knife and taken the high-speed train to deal with my enemy!”

Zhang Yuan also laughed, as he knew about Professor Wang’s quick temper.

But Professor Wang had gained fame at a young age and came from a prestigious background, unlike him, just a nobody—how could anyone dare plagiarize his papers?

Professor Wang sighed, “That’s why I can’t get rid of this bad habit; I’m just at this level, not considered a top-notch scholar…”

“Being generous is enough to gather people, self-discipline is enough to lead people, broad-mindedness is enough to win people, leading by example is enough to guide people. If you can’t get past the three hurdles of wealth, lust and fame, you’re just mediocre. Although you are not interested in wealth, you haven’t completely passed the hurdle of fame… I hope you will stick to your own path and keep walking.”

Zhang Yuan thought about various comments on social networks and asked, “Professor Wang, if I were an ordinary person with no strong background and truly faced such situation, how should I deal with it?”

Professor Wang Zhong laughed heartily.

After a while, he shook his head and whispered, “There might not be any good solutions. If you are more assertive, you will cause a series of troubles for the other party, but it would just be troubles unless you are willing to perish together with them. If you are more timid, you might just be settled by the other party. This is the harsh reality.”

“Our technology may be much more powerful than in ancient times, but our social system and culture are not necessarily more advanced.”

Professor Wang sighed, “Human history is essentially repeating itself. Even if ‘science’ is added as a variable, it merely prolongs the process of repetition. The history of the past five thousand years is a continuous process of overthrowing ruling classes. But once a ruling class is overthrown, a new ruling class emerges, and hence they become the targets of overthrow…”

“Think about it, when Mo Jianhua became a reviewer, did he think about engaging in academic corruption right away? Certainly not. When young, who doesn’t have grand ambitions? It’s just environmental factors, combined with the convenience of his position, that led him to such thoughts. Human corruption is spontaneous.”

Zhang Yuan bowed his head, sighing in his heart.

“The complexity of Earth Civilization is striking. The entrenched history has already had a profound impact on the present. Some issues are clearly right or wrong, but when they involve deep-rooted vested interests, they cannot be corrected swiftly…”

“That’s why we need to build a brand-new, more vibrant civilization!”

Zhang Yuan looked at Professor Wang’s solemn expression, but he harbored a significant doubt in his heart—how could he establish a better, more powerful civilization?

The ruling class would still exist in this new civilization.

How can this situation be avoided?

Could it be… without a ruling class?

Impossible, without one, the entire civilization would just be a mess, becoming even worse.

He couldn’t grasp the solution to this problem yet.

He believed that the history of the next three thousand years would definitely offer better insights.

…

After the video call ended and all controversies had been resolved, Zhang Yuan no longer paid attention to external developments and immersed himself back into his hectic work.

He had many tasks to attend to, including his duties on the spaceship, preparing for graduate entrance exams, and projects on Earth.

As they say, “You only realize the importance of a book when you need it.” After finishing his duties in the morning, he spent almost all his remaining time immersed in the library.

The Earth Era’s library had not a single paper book; all books were in electronic format. It merely provided everyone a very quiet place to study.

Every time he entered, he saw many people studiously learning—this atmosphere felt great and slightly pressured.

“Is your matter resolved?” Li Zhendong’s first question was this.

“Of course, it’s resolved… Is the transfer of the e-book database done? All the books and papers should be downloadable now.”

“Almost, the Foundation must have spent a lot of money to buy the rights to these books. We’re leaving anyway, why can’t they provide them to us for free?”

Zhang Yuan curled his lip, “That’s impossible… Even if you walked into a grave, the capitalists would still be desperate to suck more blood.”

Li Zhendong laughed, “Don’t think so poorly of others. The Foundation has also collected a lot of patents, which we can read for free and even use!”

Zhang Yuan was speechless, “Patents are supposed to be public… As for their use, of course, it should be free. Do they expect to charge us 20 light-years away?”
