#1070 - Chapter 1070 Imagination, Creativity, Reform! Yunhexing is coming again?
"Marshal!" The doctor at the forefront exclaimed.
"That car just now..." Chen Hao immediately understood.
"Yes! We saw you. Luckily, you abandoned that car, otherwise..."
It seems...
Not really!
The doctor didn't finish, revealing an awkward smile.
The Marshal arrived before them, and the old lady had already woken up. Were they on a wild goose chase?
"Not really."
Chen Hao smiled: "I can only do CPR. The old lady's illness requires surgery, so it's best to send her to the hospital as soon as possible."
"Yes!" Several medical personnel were overjoyed.
Who would have thought they'd be fortunate enough to see the Marshal during an emergency? What a blessing!
Just as the medical staff were helping the old lady up, a voice came from outside the door: "Grandma... what's wrong?!"
The key!
The Marshal saved his grandmother and came specifically to find him; how could he leave?
"Marshal..." The young man was clearly uneasy.
Putting aside that he's just a young man, anyone would find it impossible to remain calm upon seeing Chen Hao.
"Don't be nervous."
Chen Hao took out an A4 sheet of paper and quickly wrote a problem on it: "Your cousin said you've worked on this problem before?"
"Yes, I have." The young man was still nervous.
"How are your grades?"
"I..."
The young man lowered his head, looking embarrassed: "They're not very good..."
"Marshal, my cousin is severely imbalanced in his studies. He's exceptionally good at science subjects, but his humanities... especially math and physics, he almost always gets full marks." Seeing his cousin stammer, Zhang Jinwen helped him answer.
"..."
Chen Hao's heart sank.
Could someone with such a severe imbalance in subjects get into Shenzhou Institute of Technology?
Shenzhou Institute of Technology admits students based on grades and treats all candidates equally. They haven't done any special admissions before.
This presents a problem.
No!
To be precise, China's exam-oriented education system has similar problems.
Exam-oriented education, from elementary school, takes scoring high marks as the ultimate goal, which may stifle children's curiosity.
Of course, China used to have a large population, and given the national conditions at the time, exam-oriented education was the best choice.
But things are different now!
Curiosity.
Creativity.
These are often the seeds of technological innovation.
Currently, innovation is what's most needed!
Rigidly iterating and improving efficiency on existing technologies will ultimately be limited to those inherent technologies. For super civilizations, what's more important is... creating new technological directions.
Chen Hao realized that a comprehensive reform of the education system is needed to unleash children's imagination and creativity, which is the right path forward.
He planned to chat with the old man about it when he had time, but for now, he needed to handle this little genius first.
"I'll give you a few problems to work on."
He began writing problems on the A4 paper.
They covered math and physics, far exceeding what he'd learned in the first year of high school, even beyond what he'd learn in college.
The result...
Exceeded expectations!
Although the young man couldn't solve every problem, as long as Chen Hao gave a slight reminder, he could not only understand the problem but also come up with many ingenious ideas.
This is imagination and creativity.
Also, a demonstration of extremely high talent!
"Ma Xiaobin."
Chen Hao stood up and patted him on the shoulder: "Would you be interested in joining my team in the future?"
The young man was stunned.
Joining the Marshal's research team?
"I... I'm only in the first year of high school..."
"That's why I said in the future; you still need to study for now."
Chen Hao knew what he was thinking: "If you agree, you can enter Shenzhou Institute of Technology immediately and receive truly professional education—continuing to study in high school is a waste of time!"
Going directly to Shenzhou Institute of Technology from the first year of high school?
Ma Xiaobin's mind crashed, filled with a sense of unreality.
...
Back at Shenzhou Institute of Technology.
The talent selection continued.
As before, students lined up in long queues, with each professor in charge of a queue, giving different problems.
Behind the professors sat Chen Hao.
The professors did the initial screening, and then he did the final selection.
He wore sunglasses, seemingly relaxed, but in reality, he was immersed in another universe with a virtual reality view.
An alternate universe.
In a magnificent palace.
Chen Hao controlled a death row inmate...
No!
He was now the new ruler of the Toad Civilization!
Before him was a projected star chart, marking the surrounding civilizations.
The Toad Civilization's region was in an area of the alternate universe that had been born earlier. As the universe entered the destruction phase, white hole jets appeared earlier—not only were they attacked by the jets earlier, but the attack frequency was also higher.
As a result...
There were three outcomes for the civilizations here.
One was a top-tier civilization, similar to the Human Doomsday Alliance, or not too different.
These civilizations were very technologically advanced, possessing multi-galaxy crossing technology.
What is multi-galaxy crossing?
In short.
They could cross thousands upon thousands of galaxies in a relatively short time, escaping beyond tens of billions of light-years.
Once they avoided this earliest-born region of the universe, there wouldn't be as many white hole jets, and it would be relatively safe for the time being.
The Human Doomsday Alliance had done just that.
Unfortunately...
Such civilizations were one in ten thousand!
The vast majority didn't have the technology to cross multiple galaxies and could only stay where they were.
Those who stayed in place were divided into two types.
One had not developed to an interstellar level.
Similar to Earth ten years ago, or even still in primitive societies, unable to leave their planet. When faced with white hole jets...
Their entire civilization was wiped out, leaving no trace.
The other type was similar to the Toad Civilization.
They had rudimentary interstellar colonization capabilities but couldn't achieve multi-galaxy crossing and had no way to escape tens of billions of light-years.
They couldn't even prevent their home planet from being destroyed by the jets.
What to do?
Either build a space using high technology, like the Toad Civilization using an energy membrane to construct a small world.
Or...
Although their galaxy, and even the surrounding galaxies, had been riddled with holes under the onslaught of jets for hundreds of millions of years, there were still a small number of planets that had temporarily survived the disaster.
Therefore, some migrated to habitable planets that hadn't been destroyed nearby.
Of course, they might not be habitable, but with powerful technology, they could easily terraform the planets.
In short.
The very few top-tier civilizations ran away.
The highest proportion of low-level civilizations were almost completely destroyed by the jets.
Even if they weren't destroyed by the jets...
Intermediate civilizations like the Toad Civilization, once their home planet was destroyed by white hole jets, would often directly seize the home planet of a low-level civilization—and the low-level civilization would be wiped out directly.
Therefore, the starry sky within tens of billions of light-years now only had mid-level civilizations left.
Their technology wasn't enough to escape.
Nor would they be destroyed by white hole jets.
But!
Even among similar civilizations, there was still a gap in strength, just not too vast.
Previously, Chen Hao had sent a Toad fleet to a more powerful civilization.
The Toads were about level 3.1.
That civilization had reached level 3.7.
In the past...
Even if given ten guts, the Toads wouldn't dare to provoke them.
But now, didn't they have gene discrimination-space lock technology?
It was 42 light-years away.
The Toads hadn't developed a warp drive, but their wormhole jump technology was clearly far ahead of Earth, and even the former level 2.3 Hunter Civilization—it was estimated that they could arrive in about ten months.
Chen Hao stared at the star chart, thinking about finding a few more targets...
"Emperor! Something bad has happened!" A Toad rushed into the palace: "The Yunhe Star... is coming again?!"
