Chapter 33 - Is That Why George Was Trying to Hide?

After George solved the problem, the video of him doing so was sent to the National Academy of Sciences as well as to NASA.

The video had been forwarded over and over again and caused a huge sensation in the scientific community.

The problem that troubled the experienced scientists had been solved by a young scholar who had just graduated, which was something that had never happened before.

With this, George’s name began to spread in the scientific community.

They knew very well that once they solved the problem in the design of the probe, they would become the first country to send a probe to make contact with the alien starship.

At this time, in an office in the research institute in the suburbs, Professor Eugene was sitting on the sofa, sitting across from him was George who was talking.

“Professor, now that the problem has been solved, when will the probe be sent to make contact with the alien starship?”

George did not have to hide his thoughts in front of his mentor.

Ever since he had obtained a starship from the alien chat group, he had been looking forward to entering the interior of the starship. Rather, he wondered if he had to come into contact with the starship to activate it and become its owner.

At this moment, Professor Eugene replied to George’s questions, “The video of you solving the problem has been sent to the Academy of Sciences and NASA respectively. They will be able to calculate the data needed for the probe by tonight, and will only be able to complete the assembly of the probe by the day after tomorrow at the latest.”

After Professor Eugene finished saying this, he glanced at George, who was sitting opposite him.

“Why? Do you have any new ideas? You can tell me. If your idea is plausible, not only me, but the many professors who graduated from Yale will support you.”

George felt comforted with these words. After all, the professors who graduated from Yale held important positions in many departments.

George lowered his head and thought for a moment. Then, when he looked at Professor Eugene again, his eyes were filled with determination.

“Professor, can I get close to that alien starship?”

“What?!”

When Professor Eugene heard what his student said, he stood up from the sofa and looked at George in disbelief.

“Are you kidding me? Only an unmanned probe will be sent to make contact with the alien starship this time, how can you…”

However, before he could finish, Professor Eugene suddenly realized that what Geroge meant when he said he wanted to get closer to the alien starship was not aimed at the unmanned probe launched this time.

“George, are you trying to say that NASA will send a manned spacecraft to make contact with the alien starship after this?”

In the follow-up plan of NASA to explore the alien starship, there were indeed plans to launch a manned spacecraft to get into close contact with the giant starship.

On top of that, the planned launch time was not far from now. After the unmanned probe completed its first mission, the manned mission would be implemented immediately.

If George had raised his idea had before he had solved the problem, Professor Eugene might have considered it, but he definitely would not agree now.

The reason was simple. With the value George had shown now, the higher-ups would simply not allow him to take the risk of making contact with an alien starship.

Professor Eugene sat back on the sofa and told his student very seriously, “George, the higher-ups won’t agree to your idea. You have to know what your value is. If NASA gets hold of the alien starship’s technology, your role on the ground will be much more important than running around in space.”

George knew that his professor would say this. The request he had just made was just to test Professor Eugene’s reaction because what he was about to say would probably frighten Professor Eugene.

George took out his phone as he said, “Professor, do you remember Anna? Buck from the special agent organization has been secretly investigating her. It turns out that Anna is probably an alien!”

As he spoke, he had already started playing a video on his phone for Professor Eugene to watch.

Professor Eugene saw from the video a “monster” who was obviously not a normal human that had the same face as Anna.

Professor Eugene was scared out of his wits, to the point he attempted a few times but still failed to say what he wanted to say.

He still remembered that Anna was also a student at Yale University. He had a good impression of her, after all, Anna had looks that all girls would be jealous of.

After professor Eugene calmed down, only then did he take the phone from George and watch the video in detail.

George did not interrupt when his mentor watched the video. Instead, he was calculating the next step in his mind.

The intensity of his brainwaves was now more than 15%, which was more than double the average of the Earthlings.

Thus, George’s brain was very powerful in dealing with complicated formulas.

Although he had used three different methods to solve the difficult problem, the result was the same. Thus, to the outside world, his actions were just amazing.

What they didn’t know was that getting the same result through various calculation methods was not George’s real goal.

George’s real goal was to increase the intensity of his brainwaves through complex calculations.

Seeing Professor Eugene was still watching the video on the sofa, George closed his eyes and started to calculate all kinds of complicated mathematical formulas in his mind.

Ten minutes later, Professor Eugene had finally finished watching the video. When he returned the phone to George, he voiced the doubts in his heart, “George, you showed me the video of Anna’s body mutation. Are you trying to tell me that she has something to do with the alien starship that suddenly appeared?”

After all, the mutation of Anna’s body did happen after the alien starship appeared.

However, George was not sure whether there was a connection between the two because he knew that the alien starship was a reward given to him by the alien chat group.

And he also knew that the mutation of Anna’s body happened after the alien starship appeared.

Therefore, George was not sure whether Anna had anything to do with the alien starship at all.

“Professor, here’s what I think. Since we want to understand the alien starship, other than making contact with it directly, we can consider the possibility that the mutation in Anna’s body is also caused by the alien starship, right?”

Professor Eugene pondered for a while before saying, “Your idea is very likely, but this is something they should worry about. Your most important task now is to be vigilant and protect yourself.”

Professor Eugene was right. After George solved the problem, his identity had changed. He was no longer a young man who had just left university, but a scholar who was to be strictly protected.

The defense of the research institute where George was now at had been upgraded to the highest level.

All of this was to protect George.

When Professor Eugene saw George close his eyes, he thought that he wanted to rest.

“George, you can sleep here for the time being. After daybreak, we still have to go to the Academy of Sciences to attend the first flight of the probe. I heard that the White House will send an army to escort you to the destination safely.”

George closed his eyes but did not fall asleep. He was still calculating all kinds of complicated mathematical formulas in his mind..
