Chapter 311 -311: Build Him a Workstation
“Old Fang, you don’t look so well!” Wang Cong observed the changing shades of green and purple on Fang Jueyu’s face. He knew that Fang Jueyu usually had a carefree, playful personality, but when it came to issues of principles and stance, he took them very seriously. Could the associate professor’s research have angered him?
“Old Wang, do you think he’s just trying to attract attention?” Fang Jueyu retorted.
“Isn’t he?” Wang Cong laughed, “I believed the first half, though my understanding of gamma rays, wormholes, and black holes is quite superficial. It seemed pretty interesting.”
“But as it went on, it got more absurd. Aliens opening a wormhole to Earth? That’s nonsense; even sci-fi movies aren’t that wild,” Wang Cong had a sudden thought, “Hey, how about we make a movie like ‘Interstellar’ with this theme? I bet it would be a box-office hit!”
“He might be telling the truth!” Fang Jueyu said with a serious expression.
“What?” Wang Cong’s face froze immediately, “You’re joking, right?”
“I’m not joking with you,” Fang Jueyu replied with utmost seriousness, “You should know that I’ve been studying physics under Einstein lately; these subjects fall right into my learning range. I can understand all these data, and I can comprehend them.”
“If these data are correct, then his hypothesis has a strong chance of being correct. You should know what that means!”
“Whoosh!” Wang Cong’s expression changed instantly. Normally, he would think Fang Jueyu was joking, but from his tone and expression now, it didn’t seem like a lie.
“So, what do you plan to do?” Wang Cong asked.
“I need to verify whether these data are real. If there’s nothing wrong with the data, then we’ve got a big problem!” Fang Jueyu said, “You should head back first; there are some things I need to arrange.”
Fang Jueyu got into his car, activated the optical camouflage, and vanished from the plaza of Antian Peak.
…
“Young master, you returned much earlier than usual today,” Zhuang Ying noticed Fang Jueyu’s hurried appearance and suddenly realized that something might have happened, “Young master, what’s the matter? Is there anything you need me to do?”
“Have you seen today’s news and the trending topics on Weibo? About Professor Liu Guang.”
“Yes, I’ve seen it. But according to our astronomical observation points worldwide, there was no observation of the gamma-ray striking the atmosphere phenomenon he mentioned three years ago.”
“Is there an observation blind spot?”
“There is, but the probability is very low. Does the young master think there’s a chance this is true?”
“Yes!” Fang Jueyu nodded, “Arrange to set up a workstation for Professor Liu Guang for me! Build a space station on the ground and one in space!”
“Young master, this would require a huge investment and a lot of time, not to mention the issue of permits…”
“I know, I’ll handle those matters. You just need to arrange it, and also send an invitation to Professor Liu Guang for me. Offer him a salary of fifty million a year, and I’ll cover all research expenses. Help me bring his entire research team over from Yanjing Aviation University.”
“Alright, young master, I’ll get on it right away!”
…
In just one day, Liu Guang was slapped with all sorts of accusations and titles. If he were a prominent figure in academia, perhaps his research might receive some support.
But he was just a minor associate professor, almost unknown even within Yanjing Aviation University, his greatest achievements were a few papers in high-impact international journals published a decade ago when he was up for a title.
The crux of the matter was that in the evening, a prominent Huaxia physicist publicly criticized and questioned his research.
“Wormhole Waves? An interesting concept, but we can’t even confirm the existence or theory of wormholes yet. This concept might be right, but it must stand the test of time!”
The weight of an academician’s words compared to those of an associate professor required no evaluation. Although the academician’s words were diplomatic, it was clear he couldn’t accept the concept.
Not just private online commentators, self-proclaimed experts, and outside scholars but even professors from Yanjing Aviation University openly ridiculed his research. The head of his research group even issued a statement saying:
“I am deeply saddened to see such an irresponsible researcher in our group. From today, the National Key Laboratory of the Department of Physics at Yanjing Aviation University ceases all project funding for Associate Professor Liu Guang!”
Liu Guang was unaware of these developments. He had been summoned to the office by the dean since the afternoon. This event affected not only Liu Guang but also the entire physics department and Yanjing Aviation University.
“Professor Liu, I hope you understand the seriousness of this matter. Your article has caused severe damage to the reputation of our university and faculty. The article must be retracted, and you must publicly apologize!”
“Impossible!” Liu Guang, a man of strong principles, responded, “All my research is backed by real data. Even if there are discrepancies, it’s an issue with the precision of the school’s instruments.”
“From the start of my career, I’ve never faked data, never made up results. If I retract my article and apologize, it would only mean admitting my work is false!” Liu Guang got heated and slammed the table with the department head.
“Professor Liu, you…”

“Let me speak!” the chancellor interjected, “Professor Liu, I know you’re a man of principle, but this matter has spiraled out of control. I assure you, once the dust settles, we’ll have Professor Zhu’s team welcome you back and provide research funding.”
“Chancellor, you know I’m a principled person. My principle is to be accountable for my research. If you want to take action against me, that’s your prerogative. Even if you strip me of my title, I have nothing more to say. Goodbye!”
Disheartened, Liu Guang returned to his office to find several of his students waiting, half of them holding a sheet of paper.
“What’s going on with you? The workday is over; why haven’t you left?” Liu Guang asked.
“Professor Liu, there’s something we’d like you to sign,” the three students handed over their documents.
“Advisor change request?” Liu Guang glanced at the papers and understood at once.
“Sorry, Professor Liu, my parents called today. They want me to switch advisors. I’ve already contacted Professor Ding, and he’s willing to accept me.”
“We’re the same, Professor Liu.”
“Hahaha, alright, alright!” Liu Guang didn’t get angry with them; he quietly signed the documents with his name, “You can go; it’s fate we met in this research group, let’s part on good terms.”
The three students lowered their heads with shame and left the office.
“And what about you three? Are you leaving too?” Liu Guang asked; only one PhD student and four graduate students remained.
“No, Professor Liu, we helped gather and record some of this data. We trust our data isn’t wrong. We’re willing to stand by you.”
“But I might soon be expelled from the research group. There might be no research funding for you, and I might even be kicked out of the school.”
“It’s fine, I can borrow equipment from my roommates. Graduation won’t be a problem. Let’s complete the projects we haven’t finished yet!”
“Alright!” Liu Guang beamed with relief. His loyal PhD and graduate students truly understood him!
