#946 - Chapter 946: Retreat to advance, unity is strength! Meeting once is a luxury?
As one of the people in charge of the artificial wormhole project, didn't Andrew want it to succeed?
He also had a family; he wanted human civilization to continue, wanted the beauty of the world to remain, but he really couldn't see any hope.
Chen Hao said that as long as they listened, he wouldn't force anyone who wanted to leave to stay.
He decided that he would leave after listening.
But…
As he listened, he discovered that his previous understanding was being subverted.
Chen Hao was opening a completely new chapter for everyone!
It was subversion!
It was sublimation!
It was a comprehensive transcendence of science in wormholes, space, astronomy, and more!
It wasn't just surpassing the previous Earth technology?
It also surpassed alien civilization technology!
As the explanation deepened, more and more scientists realized that the reason why the earlier research had yielded no results was because they had gone astray from the very beginning—at this moment, Chen Hao was bringing them back on track!
Artificial wormholes would no longer be without progress.
Hope had appeared!
On a grander scale, none of the scientists present didn't want human civilization to continue.
On a smaller scale…
They had family, friends, and the people they cared about and cherished the most.
If humanity were destroyed, who could escape?
Even…
Just talking about personal interests: which scientist wouldn't want to achieve unprecedented success and leave a strong mark on the history of science?
When there was no hope in sight, it was easy to understand why some people wanted to leave; after all, instead of doing useless work here, it was better to use the little time left to fulfill more wishes.
But!
What if the flame of hope was rekindled?
"Alright!"
Chen Hao didn't continue explaining, smiling and saying, "Since you've decided to leave, there's no need to continue with the more in-depth discussions."
"See off our former partners, and the rest of you stay to continue the discussion!"
A tactful eviction order.
There was no need to listen to more if they were going to leave.
"Professor Andrew, please."
Chen Hao smiled.
"…"
Andrew didn't say a word.
He shook his head blankly, his gaze finally moving away from the PPT, and the next moment he suddenly shook his head vigorously: "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry… Please forgive my recklessness! I want to stay, I… I see hope!"
He had to stay!
He was over sixty years old this year.
He had a wife of similar age whom he had loved for more than thirty years, two sons and a daughter, and even grandchildren and granddaughters.
He couldn't bear to watch his beloved relatives die!
No hope?
Accompany his loved ones through their last moments.
But if there was even a glimmer of hope…
He had to go all out!
He couldn't imagine the scene of his grandson, who had just turned three this year, leaving this world!
Was it just him?
"But I can guarantee that I will never give up hope until the moment disaster strikes!"
"Therefore, I also hope that you will not give up!"
"Because in this world, there is always something we must cherish!"
What they cherished might be the entire civilization or country.
It might also be their own small family.
Born as human beings.
Who would be completely indifferent?
The thousand people were moved.
What they saw in Chen Hao was not only the unwavering dedication of a top scientist, but also a deep love—love for this world, for the country, and for the people around him.
Emotional dedication, compared to scientific spirit, was even more steadfast!
It was just that…
Many scientists couldn't understand.
How did he do it?
You had to know that as a scientist of a level 0.8 civilization, understanding the science of a level 1.4 alien civilization was already very difficult.
Yet he had overturned the level 1.4 alien civilization in such a short period of time.
Was he still human?!
Being at a level 0.8 civilization, even if thousands of scientists worked together to learn alien civilization technology, it would be absolutely impossible to learn it all in such a long time…
But Chen Hao not only fully understood it, but also completed breakthroughs in certain fields.
Almost like a god!
…
A new artificial wormhole theory appeared.
A new round of research and development began.
Even though technological breakthroughs had been achieved and artificial wormholes finally saw hope, the process of turning theory into practice still faced countless difficulties.
It required time.
And what was most lacking right now was time!
Don't think that there were still nearly four years left; when the research and development project was a kind of technology that far exceeded the present…
Were four years a lot?
Not really.
It could be said that it was very pressing!
Each project had different difficulties; artificial wormholes were the most difficult, but there were also relatively easy ones.
For example, anti-matter weapons were relatively easy; not only had preliminary research and development been completed, but prototypes had also been put into actual combat.
But the project had not ended.
It needed to be iterated.
It needed to be upgraded.
Research and development could not stop for a moment!
Core office area.
Chen Hao stared intently at the computer screen.
Conspicuously!
A giant ring-shaped device rotated around an unknown axis; he was using self-made software to correct it, seeking to solve certain difficulties.
This was a new technology.
While solving the technical difficulties of various major projects such as anti-matter weapons, ultra-high-speed aircraft, and artificial wormholes, he took the time to carry out this project alone; as for why he didn't find more scientists…
This technology was in a completed state.
In the technology of the alien civilization predecessors, there was the existence of this kind of technology, and there was no need to re-develop it from scratch.
It was just that there were certain technical defects.
What he had to do was to solve the defects and make the technology perfect!
Bang…
Loud knocking on the door.
Chen Hao frowned subconsciously.
Who was knocking on the door so hard?
Simply…
"Daddy… open the door…"
"Daddy… open the door…"
A soft, glutinous voice sounded, like a little repeating machine.
Simply, too cute!
Chen Hao's face instantly relaxed, and he ran over to open the door as if he was flying.
The door was actually open.
Just…
The little girl found that the door was closed, and according to what her grandparents and maternal grandparents taught her, if she saw the door closed and wanted to go in, she should knock politely—so, she knocked on the door very obediently, it was just that the movement was a little loud.
The door opened.
A little dumpling made of powder and jade stood at the door.
Stretching out her little arms: "Daddy… hug…"
"Mm!"
Chen Hao picked up the little dumpling in one fell swoop.
"Sorry for taking up your time."
Xia Qingmo stood in front of him, her eyes full of helplessness: "Xiaoxing said yesterday that she hadn't seen Daddy for a long time, and she asked me again today…"
In the morning, her daughter asked her if Daddy was dead.
Children's words were innocent.
But…
She felt very uncomfortable listening to it.
On the one hand, she knew that Chen Hao shouldered heavy responsibilities and often couldn't see him for a month or two at a time, but now that her daughter was over a year old, and she was also smart and had many thoughts, she didn't want to leave a bad shadow in her daughter's heart.
"It's my fault…"
Chen Hao sighed.
"It's not!"
Xia Qingmo quickly shook her head: "I didn't mean to blame you, I was just afraid that Xiaoxing would come and disturb you."
Chen Hao held his daughter in one arm.
He put his arm around his wife.
