Chapter 29 - How Many Methods Did George Know to Solve the Problem?

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

When George finished writing the first formula, the people who thought he was done were surprised to see that he continued to write another calculation method next to the first completed formula.

Everyone was shocked by George’s abnormal operation.

Even Professor Eugene, who had been pretending to close his eyes, was slapped awake by his colleagues.

The moment Professor Eugene opened his eyes, he saw that his student had used a method he had never seen before to get a result, which caused him to jump out of his seat.

Professor Eugene rushed to the blackboard as fast as he could. He ignored George, who was continuing his calculations on the side, and focused all his attention on the already written calculation formula on the blackboard.

“Professor Eugene has gone to verify it himself!”

“Haha, Professor Eugene is George’s mentor, after all. He must be the most excited!”

“That’s right. The result of George’s calculations should be fine. You can see the answer from Professor Eugene’s expression!”

“Look at Franklin, he doesn’t look too good!”

“Shh, lower your voice. Don’t let him hear you. You’ll get yourself into trouble!”

While everyone in the meeting room was discussing, George had already completed the second mathematical formula on the blackboard.

Everyone originally thought that he should be done by now and all that would be left was for the few professors to start verifying the results, which would take some time.

However, what made them feel something was off was that after George finished the second mathematical formula, he did not leave the blackboard. Instead, he lowered his head as if he was thinking about something.

What they did not know was that George was now in a very magical state.

After George’s brainwaves had increased, his brain utilization rate also broke the human average.

After he used two different methods to solve the difficult problem, he didn’t think much of the third method that he had thought of previously.

During the process of solving the problem, his brainwaves had been in a very intense utilization rate, which in turn made his brainwaves continue to increase.

How could George give up such a rare opportunity to improve his brainwaves so easily? So he began to challenge himself, forcing his brain to work at a rapid speed, just like a full-loaded CPU that was about to enter overdrive.

By constantly releasing brainwaves, he achieved the goal of improving his brainwave utilization rate.

Behind George, there were eyes filled with questions.

They were shocked by George’s methods of solving the problem and his speed.

At this time, an elderly man was sitting next to Franklin. He was not Franklin’s deputy, but the official who had been sent to record the meeting.

His duty was to record the actual situation as seen to bring back for the higher-up officials to view.

Of course, Franklin knew of the elderly man’s identity, so when he saw the other party stand up and leave his seat, his eyes flashed with an unnoticeable gloom.

He originally wanted to make Professor Eugene look bad in the meeting, but in the end, he helped that kid named George.

Franklin was unable to accept such a result for a moment, but he didn’t dare to stop the recorder’s work, because that party was only responsible to the White House.

According to normal procedures, once the difficult questions raised in this meeting were solved, they had to be taken back to the National Academy of Sciences to for the most authoritative verification work to be completed.

Among Franklin’s few good friends, some held important positions in the National Academy of Sciences.

He was thinking that he couldn’t show his anxiousness now. Instead, he should be the first to stand up and praise the boy named George.

“Clap, clap, clap!”

Applause sounded in the meeting room. Everyone looked over and realized that the first to clap was actually Professor Franklin, who had previously posed a difficult question to George.

For a moment, there was a dramatic change in everyone’s expressions. Some looked at Professor Franklin with disdain, while others wore a surprised expression.

The girl who had been sitting behind George stared at George’s back. She didn’t expect that what she thought was a kind reminder had almost made George lose an opportunity to display his talent.

The girl decided that after the meeting ended, she would find an opportunity to apologize to George.

At this moment, as Professor Franklin took the lead in applauding, everyone stood up and clapped enthusiastically at George.

However, an awkward scene appeared. Franklin, who was the first to clap, had originally thought it all out. In his plans, after he took the lead to applaud, the young man named George would definitely express his gratitude.

However, until Professor Franklin began to feel some pain in his hands that had been clapping non-stop, George was still moving his arms and quickly writing formulas on the blackboard.

Of course, the people present did not know George’s current state. All he could think about was the formula in front of him, and he was oblivious to the outside world.

The smile on Professor Franklin’s face began to stiffen, and then slowly turned into a very ugly expression.

Part of his resentment toward Professor Eugene was transferred to the young student named George.

“Damned brat, you’re just as arrogant as your mentor, huh? Just you wait, there will come a time when you come crying and begging me!”

While Franklin was silently criticizing George, George would never have thought that someone with a twisted heart was scheming against him behind his back.

The determination in George’s eyes became more and more obvious. The mathematical formula on the blackboard was about to be completed.

What he didn’t know was that not far behind him, an older staff member was holding a simple video camera in his hand. He was recording the scene of George calculating on the blackboard. He was only waiting for the meeting to end before bringing the video back to the National Academy of Sciences.

He wondered if those old freaks at the National Academy of Sciences would jump up in excitement after seeing the video of George solving the problem.

Most of the people present, except for Professor Eugene and Professor Lodge, did not know that the difficult problem that was put forward during the meeting was put forward by an academician of the National Academy of Sciences.

This was a problem that had troubled them for a long time. If they could not solve it, it would directly affect the probe’s contact with the alien starship in outer space.

For the entire human civilization, they would lose the best opportunity to solve the mystery of the alien starship.

Just as everyone was paying attention to George’s solution, they suddenly noticed that his hand that had been completing the formula on the blackboard with haste had stopped.

This scene caused the meeting room to fall into silence once more.

The people present knew that the final result was about to be revealed.

Could George solve the problem in three methods within just half an hour? Everyone was waiting to see it!
