Our great nation of China traverses the multiverse.

Looking out the window at the beautiful scenery of the sun soaring through the sky for ten days,

Tainor's shocked murmur:

"It's hard to believe this is Mars. Is this really something humans could do?"

"But they did it, didn't they?"

Beside him, a short man with sallow skin, wearing black-rimmed glasses, quite thin, and somewhat scholarly, leaned against the porthole, turned his head to look at Tenoret, nodded and smiled gently, and gestured to introduce him:

"Sam is also a mathematician, but I study computer models."

"Tenorai".

The two shook hands, and because Sam was witty, they got along very well.

This made Tenoret, who came from the German Union, feel a sense of感慨 (gan3kai3, deep emotion/reflection

Sam was clearly well-educated; he spoke politely and was very refined.

They had a completely different temperament from the terrified "humans" he had seen in documentaries in famine-stricken countries.

Indeed, early childhood education has a significant impact on a person's development.

Fortunately, Tenoret did not receive mainstream media coverage from a young age, so he at least treated everyone the same.

"Where are you from?"

Tainor spoke fluent Chinese. Looking at his own hooligan-like posture and then at Sam's upright and polite demeanor, he was quite curious about this.

“A tribe in the South Island brought us education and gave us choices. My father was a hunter, and he didn’t want me to continue his life, so he went through all difficulties to send me to school. At that time, there were only a dozen or so people in our school. Unexpectedly, I had a unique talent for mathematics.”

Sam recalled the past with great emotion, his face filled with nostalgia and gratitude.

He was also catching snakes in the forest to supplement his family's food supply, so that his family wouldn't go hungry.

Suddenly, a spaceship arrived.

When their tribal shaman saw the spaceship, he thought it was a "god" descending and knelt down to worship. However, after listening to the guide's explanation, he realized that it was actually the newly established United Nations World Education Guarantee Alliance, representing a major Eastern power.

They recognized the faces of the people disembarking from the spaceship; East Asian tourists had once passed through their area.

Those people gave them a choice and established a joint school not far away, teaching all kinds of knowledge. Whether to learn or not, whether to go or not, was their own decision.

That very night, Sam's father, the great father Tusen, made a decision that shocked the tribe.

In an ancient, conservative, and traditional tribe, making this decision required more effort from Tucson than one might imagine.

However, to a father who loves his son dearly, all of this is insignificant.

He loved his son Sam and didn't want Sam to die like his friend Panto during a hunt.

Thus, Sam became the only person from this tribe to enter that school.

result,

After several years of education, Sam's performance in mathematics astonished the teachers who were providing remote instruction.

This is fucking genius!

At that time, Sam, only 15 years old, was already showing early promise in mathematics.

Subsequently, with the intentional nurturing of various parties, his career took off and became unstoppable.

Just three years later, at the age of 18, he skipped countless grades, obtained a master's degree through correspondence courses, and followed in his mentor's footsteps to embark on a journey to Mars, a new starting point for humankind!

No wonder he's so thin.

Tainor looked at Sam, whose face was lost in memories, and nodded in understanding.

What was even more unbelievable to him was that Sam was only 18 years old at the time and had only received less than five years of education.

Taking a deep breath,

Then Tenorre realized,

On this ship, in compartment number 6, those who are able to travel to Mars are all incredibly gifted.

Look at that 18-year-old prodigy on the left, and then look at my damn 12-year-old kid on the right—he's even more prodigy!

Then look at yourself,

Oh.

I'm in my thirties!

but,

I am second to none in my field.

So I'm a monster too!

Okay, that's all!

Tainore consoled himself with this thought.

Chapter 388 Insights

Sam's rich experiences made Tenore realize this.

I know how right I was to choose to go to this place.

at least,

Even after entering the interstellar era, they still remembered to provide basic literacy education to the underdeveloped areas of the southern islands.

The brilliance of the spirit of internationalism

The great Eastern power still shines brightly.

Put yourself in their shoes.

If the old man had that kind of power, he would have wreaked havoc on the whole world long ago.

What? Impossible?

Is the US in a semi-invincible state after the Cold War?

What did he do next?

Don't you all have any idea what's going on?

"If you go to Mars, which research region do you want to visit?"

Tenore felt he got along very well with Sam, so adding each other's contact information wasn't enough; he also asked for Sam's location.

"I think it's called something like Node Island?"

Sam shook his head; he was just following his mentor and didn't know the specifics.

"You're also going to Node Island, that's great!"

When Tenore heard the name, he was pleasantly surprised, not expecting that he and Sam were going to the same place!

But when it came to node islands, he was stumped and asked with some doubt:

"But where exactly is the node island? I couldn't find its location on the downloaded Mars map!"

"I do not know either……"

Sam shrugged.

He had only heard his advisor mention it briefly, and he didn't know the specifics.

Just then,

The spaceship paused slightly, and then an announcement immediately came on.

"Dear passengers, we have arrived at the Mars orbital transfer station. Passengers who wish to land on Mars, please proceed immediately to the space elevator area following the red indicator lights."

"We've arrived. We'll find out what Node Island is all about once we see it!"

Tenore was filled with anticipation.

Just as he was about to take Sam out of the cabin,

As soon as the hatch opened, a smiling officer in a dark green military uniform stood in the doorway, startling the two men.

"Mr. Tenore and Mr. Sam, right? You can't get to Node Island by taking the space elevator. Please come with me."

After saying that, the officer turned and led the way.

"?"

The two exchanged a glance, raised an eyebrow, and looked on in confusion, but still followed.

It seems that

This node island is quite something.

It turned out that it was the military who came to pick them up!

Following the officer, the two eventually boarded... a spaceship at a secret docking point.

The spacecraft detached from the orbital port and began its descent.

Through the porthole,
