A fleet of eight armed helicopters whizzed toward the direction of the Academy of Sciences.
All that was left was the fleet of armored vehicles that made the dust fly on the road. Vice-Admiral Kale only recovered from his shock when the noise of the helicopters in the air disappeared.
Vice-Admiral Kale’s adjutant seemed to have recalled something. He turned to look at Vice-Admiral Kale as he said, “Admiral, I remember that the person who boarded the helicopter was a very young man. Could it be that the mysterious person…”
The adjutant did not continue his words, but Vice-Admiral Kale already understood what he meant.
“To think that the mysterious person is very young. This is indeed a little shocking.”
At that time, Vice-Admiral Kale and the adjutant did see that only one young man had boarded the helicopter, while the rest had left the research institute by means of the armored transport vehicles.
The armored transport convoy headed towards the Academy of Sciences, but they would arrive at the Academy of Sciences an hour later than George, who was in the helicopter.
This caused the scholars who took the armored transport vehicles to be envious of George at the same time.
In one of the armored transport vehicles, two professors and their respective students had a conversation.
“Young people nowadays are really amazing. George’s performance in university was very average, but after entering Professor Eugene’s group, his progress in the field of space physics has been really fast!”
The old man who said this was also a senior professor in the Research Institute. When he said this, he deliberately looked at his students.
One of the young female scholars felt her mentor’s gaze, and her expression became unnatural.
“Professor, don’t expect us to have George’s terrifying speed in solving problems!”
“That’s right, our field of expertise is different to George’s anyway!”
When the old man saw that his students were starting to get jealous, he retracted his gaze. However, he still spoke while sighing in amazement.
“I know that your respective fields of expertise are different, but you were wrong that George’s strength is his speed in solving problems. Instead, it’s because his brain’s activity has reached a very high level!”
The other professor nodded in agreement, his body swaying along with the bumpy car.
“Your professor is right. George is really good at thinking logically. This is an ability that many people yearn for.”
The shakiness of the car became more and more intense, causing the scholars in the car to feel like vomiting.
One had to know that they were riding in an armored transport vehicle used by the military. The military did not consider the comfort of riding in such a vehicle since everything was focused on maintaining effective combat strength.
“Damn this broken car. I’m starting to envy Professor Eugene!”
The one who spoke was still the professor who had first spoken. He said this because thanks to Geroge, Professor Eugene had also taken a helicopter to the Academy of Sciences.
After dozens of minutes, the armored transport convoy finally entered the outer area of the Academy of Sciences.
Looking out from the vehicle’s viewport, one could see the very eye-catching steeple of the Academy of Sciences.
Vice-Admiral Kale’s adjutant used the vehicle’s communication device to inform the other vehicles that they would arrive at their destination in five minutes.
Rumble!
The steel track rolled over the asphalt surface. After the armored transport convoy drove onto the smooth road, the bumpiness of the cars improved.
With this, the scholars in the cars were aware that they were about to arrive at the Academy of Sciences. They were about to witness a momentous scene in human history.
Only after all the scholars had arrived at the Academy of Sciences, then the assembly of the probe would begin.
By the time the probe was assembled, the precise trajectory of the launch would be calculated at the same time.
Soon, the armored transport vehicles drove into the Academy of Sciences. The scholars, who could not bear the bumpy ride of the vehicles, scrambled to get off the armored transport vehicles.
A few professors came to the front of the main building of the Academy of Sciences. They first gathered the young scholars together. Then, under the guidance of the staff of the Academy of Sciences, they began to work in the offices assigned to their respective groups.
George and Professor Eugene, who had arrived more than an hour earlier than them, were currently sprawled on a large table, calculating complicated mathematical formulas.
Professor Eugene looked up at George, who was crazily solving the problems.
“George, do you want to take a break first? The data of the probing has been integrated. We’re just waiting to assemble it.”
George looked up at his mentor, but the pen in his hand did not stop.
Professor Eugene did not know that his student wasn’t frantically calculating complicated mathematical formulas to speed up with the progress of the probe’s Assembly, but to train the intensity of his brainwaves.
“Professor, I’m fine!”
At this moment, George was constantly calculating the complicated mathematical formulas in front of him. He had a premonition that if he continued doing so at the current intensity, he would be able to advance his brainwaves again before lunch.
He did not have an accurate judgment as to how much his brainwaves could advance by doing this, so he could only guess based on his feelings.
Previously, George learned that after the intensity of his brainwaves was increased to 15%, he had activated the storage card.
Then, after he did some calculations in the meeting room, his brainwaves were advanced again.
After a few upgrades, George’s thinking became different from before. Many things that he could not figure out before started to become clearer.
For example, the matters regarding the alien starship that he had obtained through the chat group.
Previously, George could not figure out why he could not receive the alien spaceship even though it had already reached Earth’s outer space.
Now that George’s brainwaves had been upgraded, his way of thinking had been greatly improved.
He guessed that the alien starship had not detected its owner’s brainwaves after reaching Earth’s outer space.
This meant that the brainwave intensity of all living creatures on Earth had not reached the detectable level of the alien starship.
After figuring out this problem, George began his plan on improving his brainwaves.
The reason was simple. The humans were ready to launch an unmanned probe into space at around 9 am three days later, which would allow them to gain close contact with the alien starship.
George wanted to obtain the ownership of the alien starship by getting detected before the probe got close to the starship.
As for whether he could become the first human to control an alien starship, he was not sure. He would need to see the feedback of the starship.
George felt that the method he thought of was very feasible. The main problem was he wasn’t sure what was the lowest limit of the detectable brainwaves by the alien starship.
This required him to constantly increase his brainwaves for trial and error.
As George continued to increase the intensity of his brain waves, the scholars who had arrived in the armored transport vehicles had already begun to enter the Academy of Sciences.
What George was unaware about was that the time of the launch of the probe was likely to be moved earlier..
