Deep Space Wandering Fleet-Chapter 61 - : People on the Moon, Insiders

Chapter 61: Chapter 61: People on the Moon, Insiders

The two reporters from the news agency were very pretty, quietly waiting at the door of the Captain’s Room.

“Hello, Mr. Zhang Yuan,” said the reporter whose surname was Lin, called Lin Xuanyuan, “may we begin now?” She looked at him with a bright, cheerful smile, her fair skin adding to her beauty.

“Ready.”

Reporter Lin paused momentarily, then asked in a clear, crisp voice, “Firstly, I’d like to know, it’s very difficult for the traditional field of mechanics to produce articles with high impact factors now, most of the publishable work is in interdisciplinary studies. Yet, your paper caused quite a stir within the industry. What is special about your paper?”

Zhang Yuan replied seriously, “Let me correct that first, my paper mainly deals with the control theory of complex robots and is not a traditional mechanical direction. The paper presents a big framework, with this theory, we can solve many previous difficulties, such as bipedal robot’s stable walking in unknown environments, and so on…”

“Its practical value is likely to be quite high, so it made a significant impact.”

...

The young lady reporter only understood the last sentence but didn’t mind. She went on to ask, “As an outstanding youth from Zone C, are you confident in facing more challenges in the future?”

“Yes!”

“Will you continue to strive to produce more scientific results in the future?”

Isn’t that obvious?

Zhang Yuan confidently said, “Of course!”

Click!

Click!

Click!

He posed for a few photos until his face nearly stiffened from smiling.

“Is that all?”

“Yes, we need to interview others too. Did you want to keep being interviewed?” Reporter Lin smiled at him and then turned to leave.

After the interview with the few young ladies ended, Zhang Yuan finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

Full of excitement in his head.

These administrative people… are too damn cunning, it’s like killing without seeing blood.

He could already imagine what would happen in the future.

Reflecting for a moment, if he were just a nobody, that damn Mo Jianhua might really have succeeded. Many things can’t be clearly explained by just talking, and even if explained, no one might believe it.

Earth, truly is a bit crude.

He hoped the new civilization in the future wouldn’t be like this.

Next, he turned on his phone and wrote a lengthy blog post.

“Hello everyone, I’m Zhang Yuan. I’m on the Moon, part of the inner circle, my monthly income is 1100 New Coins. I should keep a low profile, but unfortunately, I’ve hit the trending searches again.”

“Yes, I’m the one who donated ten million half a month ago…”

“In fact, it was not only ten million, but I also donated all my property on Earth, such as houses, adding up to maybe fifteen million… Basically, I’m penniless now.”

“Lovely ladies need not flirt with me, I can’t afford anyone.”

“It’s not that my thoughts are particularly noble, but because I’m about to leave Earth. Those properties are useless to me…”

“Where do you think I am now?”

“…As for my paper, I personally wrote it at Xisha University, there is no way I committed any fraud. I study over 10 hours a day and have never socialized with Professor Mo Jianhua.”

“I don’t understand why this situation has occurred.”

“I once submitted to ‘Modern Science’ but got rejected.”

“So I submitted to ‘Scientific Pioneer’ instead and am very honored to have been appreciated by the editors.”

“…It’s possible Professor Mo really did have similar ideas as mine, or maybe something else happened that I’m unaware of.”

“Justice lies in the hearts of people, anyway, I believe the academic committee will give a fair and objective solution…”

“Thank you for your attention. If there’s any progression, I will post an update immediately.”

Having written this far, the cause and process were already very clear.

Moreover, he had “unintentionally” created an image of himself as an excellent, upright, and ambitious young man.

Astronauts are already bonus points in the hearts of the general public. Who, coveting wealth and glory, would be willing to go to a desolate place to restart civilization?

So why don’t you donate all your prize money, abandon everything, and join me at Gliese 581g?

Yes, that’s it!

Zhang Yuan felt a bit embarrassed. He wasn’t someone who enjoyed being high-profile, and he hardly ever engaged with social media. But when you’re in the world, you often have no choice but to act with the world.

There are some things you must fight for.

He clicked the “Post” button.

“Friends, it’s your turn to join the fray. Hurry up!” Zhang Yuan urged, his face flushing with heat.

Ye Kaifu grumbled and commented irritably, “Insider here, not hiding anymore. 10 hours of study a day is a lie; this guy studies 14-16 hours every day! Smiling on the outside, cursing on the inside, wish I could avoid him more, lest he keels over dead in bed one day…”

Li Zhendong also cursed discontentedly, “Why should I be helping this show-off? By that measure, am I not also virtuous? I’m an astronaut, too.”

“Yes, you’re virtuous too, virtuous enough to have a bunch of girls throwing themselves at you.”

“Really?”

Li Zhendong rolled his eyes and wrote, “Can you believe there’s someone who amuses themselves with calculus problems? Anyway, he’s better at calculus than Mathematica100…”

Watching the comments from various support groups pile up, including support from his old university teachers, was a warm feeling.

Good character is truly a good thing.

In others’ eyes, Zhang Yuan really was quite a nice guy.

The number of shares rose quickly.

Then came two surprise bombshells that Zhang Yuan hadn’t expected.

Entrepreneur Ma Teng commented, “I once chatted with young Zhang for a while, found him quite talented. Offered him an annual salary of two million to stay on Earth, but got rejected. Raised it to three million, still rejected.”

“Do you know what he said?”

“Even if you offer two billion, you still can’t buy my heart!”

Below was a comment from Chairman Ding: “Haha, the entire project has now officially started, hope it all goes smoothly. Suddenly, I think the investment I made was too little. I’m investing three billion of my own money to buy out everyone else’s shares, wondering if everyone agrees…”

Ma Teng responded urgently, “Master Ding, you better not break the rules, we’re not selling our shares, and we won’t let you monopolize!”

These well-known entrepreneurs brought with them huge numbers of followers, and given the topic already had substance, it quickly ignited massive attention. The comments grew more numerous, quickly turning in a one-sided wave of criticism.

One hour later, Zhang Yuan realized…

The web seemed to have crashed.
