My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 369: Eighty-five years of technological progress, condensed into one book!

“That’s how it is!” Lin Xia nodded in agreement, adding, “This popularity is completely unsupported… We didn’t invest any money in the blog!”

"..." Chu Zhu smacked his forehead hard to calm himself down, and casually clicked on the first item. Unsurprisingly, it was a complete critique of him.

"...It is because of these people who, having gained a little fame, call themselves scientists and display their ridiculous and bizarre fantasies to the outside world that our Chinese scientific community suffers from discrimination and ridicule on the international stage..."

However, Chu Zhu didn't feel humiliated or questioned at all; in fact, he almost laughed... He had just discovered the most interesting part—

Because he had already slept all night... at this moment, he had missed the climax of the debate, which could even be described as a war—

At this point in time, many of the theories in the Starry Sea Explained have been verified.

That's why, right now, all sorts of comments are popping up below this trending list, contradicting it completely.

The earlier ones are still okay...

At most, people will just say things like, "Starry Sea is a science fiction book? Do you even know what science fiction is, you idiot poster?", "Regardless of whether the book is factual or not, I thoroughly enjoyed reading it," and "I don't really understand the scientific facts in it! But I think it's great, and I strongly support Chu Zhu..."

But as time went on, things got interesting.

"OP, are you serious? I'm practically worshipping this book! I showed it to my boss... and he was worshipping it too! I can only say that, based on what's revealed so far, the scientific depth of this book is unfathomable." The spokesperson posted a blurred image of a Tsinghua/Peking University student ID. And the "boss" he mentioned was clearly his professor! This is enough to prove that the spokesperson is at least a PhD student at Tsinghua or Peking University...

And then……

The comments posted this morning... took another turn!
"OP, OP, are you serious? The US has three academicians, Russia has two, and the UK has four, all publicly promoting it... They've confirmed that this book and its internal records have greatly advanced research on the Navier-Stokes equations, the Yang-Mills existence and mass gap, the Riemann Hypothesis, the Bech and Svenator-Dale conjecture, the Hodge conjecture, and so on... These are all world-class problems! Does your talk of amateur scientists include these foreign academicians and bigwigs who come out to boast?"

This comment has received 390,000 likes! It doesn't seem like much, but considering the time frame... it's actually quite alarming!
The next one...

"Four Nobel laureates in physics have already spoken out publicly! Although three of them are criticizing it... one of them said that the conjecture is indeed feasible... Moreover, after a bunch of academicians from all over the world spoke out, the three criticizing Nobel laureates have now said that there is room for verification!"

"Hilarious... Although I have absolutely no idea what happened! But I do know at least... the poster ran headfirst into a steel plate!"

Of course, there are also those who are completely oblivious to the situation...

"??? Wait, isn't Chu Zhu a singer? And wasn't he already tortured into confessing in a North American prison...?"

"What... isn't he an actor?"

"What... There really is a person named Chu Zhu in this world? Isn't he just a world-class AI superstar created purely by AI and heavily promoted by capital?"

"Holy crap! Where did you all get this weird information from...? I'm dumbfounded! Why are you even using AI-generated stuff...?"

Meanwhile, a group of people were engaged in heated debate.

"Damn it! No wonder North America offered a bounty... Chu Zhu must have stolen the Bald Eagle's top secrets! These are all the Bald Eagle's great achievements. How hateful, how evil! This must be the most outstanding spy trained by the **!"

"What? Has the person upstairs lost their mind? Are they toxic...? 'A Detailed Explanation of Starry Sea' is just an analysis of 'Starry Sea'! If this wasn't written by a person... then North America must be incredibly bored to deliberately compile a book and then cram so much knowledge into it?"

"I'm starting to doubt... whether I didn't survive those three years of disaster! Is this still the mortal world...? This book has turned everything into something so sinister."

"Heh, even the idea of ​​stealing North American achievements is so idiotic... Let me tell you, go look at the internet now! It's not like there aren't conspiracy theories about this on the internet... But the problem is, even on the internet, this speculation hasn't become mainstream! One sentence is enough to question... Whose achievements are these?"

"Dude, do you think that the bald eagle just assembles a research lab that's all-encompassing, including countless top scientists and physicists... and stuffs all these people into the lab to produce results, and then those results get stolen? Do you think that makes sense...? Do you think science and technology and research results can be mass-produced in a factory?"

"I don't understand it, but I'm deeply impressed!!"

Chu Zhu casually browsed through the comments, and all he could say was that this post had truly attracted a diverse range of people... In fact, Chu Zhu saw comments from several verified professors, all of whom gave extremely high praise to Xinghai and its detailed explanations—

"Are there no academicians involved yet?" Chu Zhu asked thoughtfully. "Wouldn't it be strange if there were?" Lin Xia's eye twitched. "The president has already arrived... As for a public statement! I suspect they still have some reservations about you... After all, no matter how you look at it... it's..."

"To be honest, if we didn't know part of the inside story, and were just observing from a purely objective perspective... I think I'd be completely dumbfounded!" Lin Xia paused slightly, clicking her tongue in amazement: "No, even if I knew the inside story, I still think I'd be completely dumbfounded..."

“Yes!” Hotchkiss nodded, his expression extremely complicated. He stroked his briefcase, seemingly caressing the project plan hidden inside, and sighed, “This is truly remarkable. One book! It propelled the world’s technological progress for at least five years… no, perhaps even more!”

A brief silence.

Zhao Shao narrowed his eyes, seemingly taking it all for granted.

"..." Lin Xia slumped onto the sofa, and after a long while, she opened her mouth, as if talking to herself, or as if narrating something to someone: "But if I remember correctly... this book, it seems, is only the first edition..."

There are seventeen more versions to come!

A book that lasts five years... doesn't that mean...?

Eighty-five years of technological progress? Condensed into one book?

Lin Xia felt her breathing stop.

What does 85 years mean?
Eighty-five years before today was 1940, when the War of Resistance against Japan was still ongoing!

The technological leap involved is so incredible.

Although Lin Xia was mentally prepared, he was still deeply shocked at this moment, especially when he thought that he could read all seventeen books if he wanted to... He felt his legs go weak.

Chu Zhu replied matter-of-factly, "It's nothing!"

Lin Xia fell silent, then finally gave a thumbs-up, pointing downwards! This was too pretentious; he couldn't stand it anymore.

"correct……"

Chu Zhu suddenly remembered something and his expression turned serious as he began to call out, "Linparu, work hard... We need you to continue acquiring some companies!"

"...Not again?" Lin Xia paused for a moment, rubbed her face, and said painfully, "Speak!"

Chu Zhu said slowly and deliberately, "Next, we're going to work on virtual reality... Hmm, we'll try to get it done in six months!"

"???" At this moment, all the confusion and shock in Lin Xia's mind vanished. As a loyal game enthusiast, he stood up abruptly, saluted, and his eyes were filled with fervor: "Execute the order without hesitation!"

As Chu Zhu spoke, he launched into an eleven-minute explanation… using his characteristically precise style, outlining which companies to acquire, which personnel to retain, and which direction to pursue next…

then……

Chu Zhu abruptly stopped speaking. Lin Xia, who was engrossed in taking notes, glanced at Chu Zhu strangely. He was certain that Chu Zhu hadn't finished explaining the acquisition and research plan.

Meanwhile, Zhao Shao, who was also playing on his phone, had obviously received the notification that Chu Zhu had received. His expression was rather interesting as he glanced at Chu Zhu sideways: "Tsk tsk, Chu Zhu, the White House has issued a statement! They're criticizing you for stealing numerous top research results from North America... and demanding that you return to North America and turn yourself in as soon as possible..."

Hotchkiss: "...?"

Hotchkiss laughed in anger. Having been persecuted to the extreme in North America, he immediately launched into a tirade in both Chinese and English: "Damn it, fuck you! If I could travel back more than eighty years, I would definitely give his father a condom on that damned night! He shouldn't have been born into this world!"

“I think it’s not bad…” However, Lin Xia nodded, his mind racing: “This can also be considered the Golden Lion King promoting the book he wrote for A-Zhu!”

"..." Chu Zhu's eye twitched, and she gave Lin Xia a strange look before nodding speechlessly: "What you said makes so much sense!"
