Resurrection Empire

Chapter 1135 438: Everyone Will Find Their Home

Sun Miao said, drawing another dot on the right along the straight line and then a larger circle directly above it.

"Previously, the technological progress on Source Star stagnated for a long time. But in your Ren Group, in our Starfire Town, we found the root cause and solved it, pushing technology forward once again. Whether it's the biomedical field I am responsible for, or the internal combustion engines, silicon chip technology, and the fusion technology at the Dragon Slayer Camp that you're advancing, we are always moving forward. Theoretically, if this dot represents ten years from now, then this large circle representing the totality of scientific knowledge will become larger, right? That's what you think, isn't it?"

Ren Zhong: "Of course."

Sun Miao pointed to Ren Zhong and then to himself, "You and I stand at the pinnacle of this era's wisdom, we are arguably the smartest and most creative people on Source Star today. So, you hope I will cherish my life, travel ten years into the future, to engage with the science that has reached a new stage and make new, bigger contributions, right?"

Ren Zhong smiled slightly, "Yes."

"But I think, from a scientific perspective, your view might not be entirely correct."

Ren Zhong: "Why?"

Sun Miao: "In a normal timeline, the reason the circle can become so large after ten years is because I've been pushing forward continuously for the past ten years. I am a leader in the science of this era; if I choose to slack off and sleep, the circle won't be able to grow this large in ten years. I have this confidence. What I am responsible for and advancing now isn't just the Pseudo-net Plan; there are many, many other things. You should also know, our current level of medicine and biological preparations has been improving steadily, all thanks to my efforts."

Sun Miao said, drawing a smaller circle within the second large circle, slightly smaller than the large circle but larger than the first circle.

Then, Sun Miao drew another circle inside the second circle, as large as the first circle, shading the space between the two inner circles, "These shadows represent the new knowledge gained by others in the technological progress during my sleep over these ten years."

Ren Zhong: "Mm."

Sun Miao: "Then, when it comes to ten years later, I would have to spend time learning these shadows to avoid my knowledge becoming outdated, right?"

Ren Zhong: "Yes. Then just learn it."

After finishing, Sun Miao sighed helplessly, "You say that because it's you, not me. I don't have your abnormal memory capacity. Your brain seems to have no limits; I can't do it. Learning new things takes me too long, and my intelligence might also have a cap. In ten years, I might need one to two years just to catch up with the pace of that era, to do something useful. I would end up wasting too much life just to start learning again from scratch. Do you really think that is right?"

As Ren Zhong contemplated silently, Sun Miao continued, "Therefore, scientifically speaking, I believe that to make the greatest contribution to future generations, I should remain in my era, continually burning myself, exploding with the greatest brilliance."

"After you've paved the way for scientific advancement again, the sooner some critical new knowledge appears in the world's knowledge reservoir, the more it can help future generations conceive more things. Science, as long as it can break through barriers, has a magnifying effect. Earlier I mentioned ten years; now let's extend the time to fifty years or even a hundred years later, continuing to expand on the foundation of my second circle."

Speaking, Sun Miao began drawing tangents from the edges of the first and second circles, now resembling a target, with two radiative tangents extending outward.

"Look, if I hadn't slept, how large can this circle become in a hundred years? Conversely, if I continue to sleep until a hundred years later..."

"Look, how big is the difference in area between these two circles? Look again, if I wake up a hundred years later, isn't the shadow area already surpassing the circle's original area inside? I'd have become ignorant scientifically, and learning to my death might not catch me up with the pace then."

"So, don't persuade me anymore. I know your vision has already left Source Star, headed for the Empire. But that's your dream and the direction your ability can support, not mine."

"I should be here, continually burning myself from this moment until the day I die. Then, fifteen years later, when you awaken from your sleep, you can receive the vast legacy I leave for you. You can take this legacy to the Empire. This is the most and best I, as your brother, can do for you."

Ren Zhong was silent.

Sun Miao indeed stood apart, not like others who merely followed his arrangements, even able to derive a new and impeccable scientific ethic from frozen sleep.

"Brother Sun..."

Sun Miao: "Don't try to persuade me anymore; I have no regrets and nothing to be remorseful about. I used to work for the Mengdu Group, had no choice, and lived painfully. But now, I am burning myself for our revolutionary cause, without complaint or regret. I also often imagine, someday, you, Ren Zhong, going to the Empire, living out our ideals on a larger stage with greater prowess."

"Then, every potion your people drink, every rescue on the battlefield, every step forward in biological gene technology, every advancement towards solving the mystery of life longevity, all will carry the shadow of me, Sun Miao. That way, I am considered immortal."

Ren Zhong left.

Before leaving, he shared a dinner personally prepared by Tang Shuying with Sun Miao.

As he walked out of the Biological Laboratory's doors, Ren Zhong looked up at the double moons, pondering.

Indeed, there are no eternal banquets in life.

Everyone will head towards different destinies.

Only one thing can be eternal.

Just as Sun Miao said, it's the dreams we all chase together.

People will die, but dreams can be inherited.

Ren Zhong's gaze passed over the double moons, drifting towards the deep starry sky.

Someday, every name that disappears from Source Star will resound with me throughout the entire cosmos.
