I Really Didn’t Want to be a Savior

During lunch, several people who took the lead in expressing their dissatisfaction with Chen Feng sat at the same table with Mendelsohn, Laurson Ilen and others.

If you can be an opinion leader, your status in the academic circle will naturally not be low. Your rank is almost the same as that of Laurson, Mendelsohn and others.

At the dinner table, everyone's conversation inevitably revolved around the subversive concepts Chen Feng proposed that morning.

Everyone in their respective professional fields comments on these conceptual things, and everyone has a different opinion.

Everyone has mixed feelings.

Their scientific literacy and knowledge are at war with each other in their hearts.

From a purely academic perspective, there is nothing wrong with the theories Chen Feng talked about this morning.

These are all “conjectures” that cannot be falsified or true at this stage.

It cannot be said that conjectures have no value, and those who propose conjectures have no contribution to science.

The essence of the so-called "conjecture" is that the thoughts of wise men are ahead of the real world.

Being able to transcend the limitations of the times, see things that others cannot see, and put forward a relatively reasonable logical argument process is a symbol of wisdom that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.

However, philosophy occupies more weight than science in "Conjecture".

From ancient times to the present, most conjectures have been proven false.

But in the process of proving its fallacy, science is moving forward.

A small number of conjectures have become staged "truths" and put the proposers of the conjectures on the altar.

With Chen Feng's current status, it is not too much for him to come up with a conjecture.

But the problem is that he mentioned too many at once.

In the past, Chen Feng took out "Collection of Madman's Conjectures" and it was considered "reasonable".

But at that time, his things were not too far ahead of the times, and others could clearly see the possibility of verification.

But this time, these things he mentioned in one breath spanned hundreds of years, as if he was promoting astrophysics, genetics and cancer-targeted drugs in the European Middle Ages when the "heliocentric theory" was still popular.

This is simply outrageous.

If it had really been that period, people like him would have been burned to death.

Fortunately, times are different now. Well, with Chen Feng's personal ability, he is not afraid of others trying to burn him to death. No one has this ability.

"Dr. Mendelsohn, you look like you disagree with us?"

one of the opposition opinion leaders asked the always silent Mendelsohn.

While others marveled at Chen Feng's whimsical ideas and criticized Chen Feng's boldness, Mendelssohn was preoccupied and did not say a word during the whole process.

When asked suddenly, Mendelsohn forced a smile and said, "I always thought there was something else in Mr. Chen's words."

"Ah? What else can it mean?"

"Do not make jokes."

"Yes, we admit that it is remarkable that he has achieved this at such a young age. Science does not care about age, only about achievements. We should respect him. But the problem is that he seems to have been addicted to other people's praise and those that have not yet been proven. Theoretical results have failed, and he is becoming too arrogant and losing his respect for science. As the word 'madman' in the title of his book shows."

"Yes, I think he set the theme of this conference to discuss the development direction of human technology in the 21st century, and invited us all here to promote technological hegemony and let our thinking follow his lead."

"He is spreading the seeds of thinking and trying to use one person's ideas to influence the thinking of all human scientific researchers."

"Yeah, he wouldn't even change the wording to something a little more conservative."

"I don't think we're asking too much. He's too controlling."

After all, everyone here is smart, and Chen Feng’s intentions cannot be hidden.

Of course, he didn't hide it either.

Everyone had noticed it before, but everyone had their own concerns and no one spoke about it.

Now Mendelssohn's silence has aroused the blood in the hearts of many people. Every word you say to me, what can be said but cannot be said, is poured out like beans from a bamboo tube.

"Everyone, please say a few words. I believe that with Mr. Chen's character, he will not be like this. He has no interest in power, otherwise he would not be so generous. Do you still remember? What he once said. He is a true practitioner of science without borders. He has been sharing his knowledge generously, and he has an unparalleled sense of responsibility and mission for the noble cause of building civilization. I believe his intention is not to control anyone, he I’m just sharing my knowledge as always.”

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Laursen, representing the Linton Institute, came out to calm the situation.

The atmosphere at the dinner table calmed down a little, but there was still some resentment in the expressions on people's faces.

In fact, Mendelssohn should have said this, and the effect would have been better, but he was too preoccupied and showed an indifferent attitude towards the debate at the dinner table.

He finally said something, but it only added fuel to the fire.

During the lunch break, Laursen called up both Ihlen and Mendelsohn.

Elen pretended not to be online the whole time, only playing haha.

Laurson knew how much Aeron knew, but he didn't want to say it. He didn't press for it. He only asked what Mendelsohn was worried about.

After being pressed repeatedly, Mendelsohn said: "Dr. Laursen, you also know this. Mr. Chen visited Area 52 some time ago and even boarded the spacecraft."

Laurson nodded, "I know, what's wrong?"

"Mr. Chen had some information at that time. He shared it with us."

"I know this too. Those three materials science technologies are indeed very powerful."

Mendelsohn shook his head, "Not only that, he briefly revealed the information about the civilization behind that ship to us. So I think his real intention is to tell us that there is not much time left for mankind. And, I think The 'guesses' he came up with should be the real things left to mankind by the alien civilization in that ship. This is the knowledge given to us by others."

"Hiss...this..."

Dr. Laursen gasped wildly.

Ellen's eyes brightened.

Mendelssohn is such an amazing genius!

This is too clever.

Well done!

As a member of the second-tier Salvation Society who had only read "The Black Hole Paper" and learned half of the truth, Ellen even felt that what Mendelsohn was telling might be the truth.

Otherwise, he couldn't explain why Chen Feng was so smart.

Twenty minutes later, Chen Feng smiled and said to Ellen, who came to inquire because he could not restrain his curiosity: "Dr. Mendelsohn is indeed good at guessing. But he guessed wrong."

"ah?"

"The Lost Ship did reveal some information, but it wasn't what he guessed. But that's not important. Don't worry about these details..."

Aeron asked again: "What will you do this afternoon?"

Chen Feng said without hesitation: "I will come up with a centenary plan to plan in detail the development process of scientific research and productivity in the next hundred years."

"ha?"

Aeron was also surprised.

In the end, he really didn't take back what he said, but instead went even more extreme.

"Isn't this too strong?"

Chen Feng shook his head, "No, I don't mind if someone objects."

I fixed a BUG in Chapter 523. The birth time of the Witten Black Hole was changed to August 21, 1977, the day after the launch of Voyager 2. Hope everyone knows.
