Chapter 27 - George Can Solve the Problem?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In the silent corridor, only the sound of George’s pants could be heard.

He couldn’t care less that his clothes were now drenched in sweat and that the wet clothes were sticking to his back.

“Could it be that the Selkian has discovered my true identity? The Selkian is already suspicious! I have to do something!”

The message that appeared in the group chat was sent by the Selkian because George had entered the historical records of the group file to look for methods to improve his brainwaves.

He did not think that the historical records would show the clicks, views, and downloads of the group members.

This loophole that George had missed was discovered by the Selkian who had sent his discovery into the group chat.

Once the aliens started having doubts about his identity, they would immediately use some black technologies that he did not understand to search for the real coordinates of the Earth that he was on.

According to George’s logic, Warth had not been discovered by an alien civilization before, so it was temporarily safe in the universe.

What he was afraid of was that those high-level alien civilizations had mastered black technologies that he did not know about and could use a method that Earthlings could not understand to pinpoint Earth’s coordinates in space.

That was the scariest thing!

Suddenly, an ear-piercing ringtone rang in the silent corridor.

George jumped. He instinctively wanted to throw the phone in his hand out of reflex.

Fortunately, his rationality surpassed his fear. He lifted the phone in his hand and saw that it was Professor Eugene calling.

“Professor, you’re looking for me?”

“George, you can’t have forgotten about the evening meeting, right? Where are you? Come to the meeting room immediately. You can’t have everyone waiting for only you!”

“Yes, I’ll be there right away!”

It was not that George had forgotten about the evening meeting, but he had been frightened by the changes in the chat group, which had caused him to stand dumbstruck in the corridor.

George quickened his pace and walked into the elevator. After a few minutes, he entered the meeting room.

The room was already filled with the team members of the various groups. The professors in charge of each project were sitting at the front of the meeting room.

His mentor, Professor Eugene, was among them. When he saw that George had finally arrived, he rolled his eyes at him and gestured for him to find a seat.

The meeting to study the invasion of the starship had officially begun.

The first to speak was Professor Eugene. George, who was sitting behind, was staring straight ahead, but he was not listening to the contents of the meeting.

He was still thinking of a way to solve the suspicions of the aliens in the chat group about his identity as an Earthling.

George had always used the silent method to hide his identity, but now it was not a possibility. If he continued to remain silent for a long time in the chat group, the aliens would definitely be very curious about his identity.

Only by speaking in the chat group could he solve the aliens’suspicions.

However, what to say was a very difficult problem. If he said something wrong, it would easily have the opposite effect.

He had to first analyze the aliens’ personalities, then achieve the result he wanted by utilizing the conflicts between the aliens, which was to continue to hide his identity as an Earthling in the aliens’ chat group.

At this time, George felt a pat on his right shoulder.

He turned around and saw a colleague using his eyes to signal him to look forward.

Oh, shit!

George immediately understood that his mentor must have mentioned him during his speech, and then saw that his attention was not on the meeting at all.

Sure enough, Professor Eugene’s questioning voice came from the front, “George, what are you thinking about?!”

Whoosh!

Everyone in the meeting room focused their eyes on George’s face.

This was too awkward.

George’s thoughts were moving rapidly. He could feel that his brainwaves were starting to be released and their intensity was increasing.

Such an awkward situation was also a kind of crisis. It could stimulate his brainwaves and make them increase.

When Professor Eugene, who was sitting in the front, saw that his student didn’t seem to care about the content of the meeting, he was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.

“George! If you don’t want to attend the meeting, get out now!”

George understood his mentor’s temper very well. In such a meeting, if his student had such embarrassing actions, as the mentor, Professor Eugene would also feel very embarrassed.

George knew that whatever Professor Eugene was saying now was something in anger. He had to say something so that he wouldn’t embarrass himself too much.

“Professor, I was thinking about the difficult problem that you raised just now and was thus distracted for a moment.”

Professor Eugene also knew his student very well. After George said this, he could guess that George wanted to use this to ease the current awkward situation.

With this, Professor Eugene was even angrier. The mustache under his nose was trembling with anger.

“Very well! You said that you were thinking about the difficult problem that I raised. Now, tell me, have you found the answer to the difficult problem?”

“Pfft!”

The staff in the conference room couldn’t help but laugh.

This time, it was George’s turn to be stunned.

After all, he hadn’t heard what Professor Eugene had said about the difficult problem.

At this time, a girl sitting behind George was very kind. She lowered her voice and repeated the difficult problem that Professor Eugene had raised just now. The volume of her voice was just right for George to hear.

The difficult question that Professor Eugene had just raised was very sharp and belonged to the field of space physics.

The alien starship was now hovering at a Lagrange point. After human attempts to communicate with it failed, they decided to launch a probe and take the initiative to come into contact with the alien starship.

The difficult part was how to keep the probe close to the alien starship by entering the orbit without colliding with the starship.

To put it simply, the space technology that humans currently had simply couldn’t allow the probe to move as freely in outer space as the cars on the ground.

This was very difficult.

After George learned about the problem that his mentor had just raised, he actually began to try to solve it. Suddenly, he could feel that his brainwaves that were originally not very strong were increasing at an exaggerated rate.

The most obvious effect of this was that his thinking ability had improved to a terrifying level.

With the fact that his thinking ability had improved greatly together with his professional knowledge from university, he quickly simulated three solutions to the problem in his mind.

Professor Eugene was fuming at the front, still waiting for his student to solve the problem.

He knew that it was impossible for George to solve the problem, but he intended to let George make a fool of himself so that George would focus on his research.

However, what George said next shocked Professor Eugene and everyone in the meeting room.

“Professor, I have solved the problem that you just raised!”
