Zhang Lisheng had long guessed that Houg would ask him this question, so he deliberately put on a reminiscing expression on his face. After a moment of silence, his eyes were unfocused as he said in a low voice, "Mr. Vice President, a few months ago, when the world barrier collapsed, all the foreign worlds that were connected to the Earth through the spatial door were connected to our world.
Only the Shrimp World No. 2 became an exception. This was not accidental, but the joint efforts of many gods in the Shrimp World No. 2. They used a magical material to block the spatial door connecting that world and the Earth, preventing the consequences of the collapse of the barrier.
In other words, it can be confirmed that there is a way to make up for the world barrier in the mythical civilization. "
"In that case, the gods of the Shrimp World No. 2 used a magical building material to repair the spatial door and separated that world from the Earth again. Is this the big secret that you insisted on returning to the White House to tell you, doctor?" After struggling to understand the words of the black-haired young man in front of him, the federal vice president asked with some dissatisfaction.
"Houg, my friend, as a politician, you're undoubtedly very outstanding, but in the field of academic research, you're still a little less sensitive compared to a 'professional' like me." Zhang Lisheng gradually became excited as he answered his own question. "Do you know what the most important thing in researching a certain topic is?
It's not the reserve of knowledge, nor is it a smart mind, nor is it the lack of research materials. Of course, these three conditions are also very important, but it's the wrong direction.
For example, the most outstanding scientist on Earth who is still alive, Professor Stephen William Hawking.
He has unparalleled wisdom and the most abundant scientific research conditions, so he put forward a theory that the predecessors have never foreseen, the dark matter and black holes in the universe. However, after this great paralysis studied for several decades, he suddenly found out that the things he studied did not exist. There are no damn black holes and dark matter in the universe at all.
Oh, this is really a tragic discovery. In my hometown, China, there's a proverb that describes a similar situation. It's called 'going south to the north.' It means that your destination is obviously in the south, but you're driving blindly to the north. In this case, the more conditions you have to travel, the farther you'll be from your destination. "
"Doctor, you, you mean …" Awed by the imposing manner of the black-haired man in front of him and his past academic achievements, Houg said in a daze.
"Think about it, Houg." Zhang Lisheng seemed to be unable to control his emotions as he let out a deafening voice. "The Colossal World that we're in now does not only have a technological civilization, but it also has a coexistence of civilizations such as technology, light energy, mythology, superpower, and so on. Not only that, there may be other kinds of civilizations that we don't even know about.
In this case, the most critical point to study a topic like 'World Barriers' is to determine the applicable direction of civilization, and the secret I'm telling you now points to that direction. Isn't that important? "
"Oh, you're right to put it that way. B-But, Dr. Lisheng, mythological civilization is just too strange and incomprehensible to us …" Houg stuttered but was interrupted by the black-haired young man who suddenly stood up in front of him. "Sir Vice President, even though we Earthlings are a technological civilization, there is no lack of mythological culture in our history.
In the eyes of rational people, those legends of gods and demons in the past are just the imagination of the ancients, but now, they may be very valuable. Not only that, in this world that is thousands of times larger than ours, there are many mythological civilizations that we can communicate with, inspire, and learn knowledge from. In short, as long as we have a direction, we'll have the possibility of success in our research.
Of course, the time it will take may be very, very long, and it may even take ten years or even a hundred years, but studying such a difficult object like the 'World Barriers' would originally require an extremely long process to have any results, wouldn't it? "
"That's right, Dr., you're right …" Houg echoed in a slightly dumbfounded manner. Looking down at his dumbfounded expression, the black-haired young man, who had vented his emotions, seemed to have slowly sobered up. Breathing a long sigh of relief, he sat down again and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Sir Vice President. Looks like my 'scholar's disease' is acting up again.
Many people think that when I talk about academic topics, I sometimes get so agitated that I should see a psychiatrist. Oh, I've really lost my composure. I'm really sorry. "
Zhang Lisheng's self-deprecating apology was unexpectedly understood by the federal vice president. "No, no, no, Dr.! As the saying goes, 'Only the paranoid can succeed.' I'm usually not that calm when debating in the House of Representatives. Perhaps, I'm even more of a madman than you."
"Oh, is that so? No wonder we can become friends," Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a moment before replying with a smile. Houg, on the other hand, also smiled and nodded in agreement. "That's right, Dr. Lisheng. Actually, from the first time we met, I already felt that we have a lot in common." The atmosphere in the room immediately became harmonious. After chatting for a while, it could be seen that both of them were in a very good mood when they bid farewell to each other.
After ending the meeting with the federal vice president, Zhang Lisheng immediately met another upstart in the US political scene, Lennon Fürstlund, in the same office as promised. With some small sacrifices such as the LS Group's consulting contract with an annual salary of more than a million dollars that would be cashed in a few years, he successfully obtained the friendship of this new senator and some of his political friends who had similar interests.
Just like this, after obtaining the support of the White House and the Senate, Zhang Lisheng finally felt relieved and arranged for Charlie to collect all the information about the supernatural realm through all channels at all costs. After that, he went home with his mother and lived a quiet life that seemed ordinary on the surface but was actually very taxing in private.
One morning more than two months later, at dawn, the rare bright sun of early spring slowly covered the entire 'New Washington A' city, indicating that a new day had arrived.
In an ordinary neighborhood of the city, on the second floor of a single-family wooden house painted with milky white paint, there was a commendable bedroom that did not have a large area. Other than a comfortable double bed by the window, a bedside cabinet, and a wardrobe close to the wall, there was only a small attached bathroom. Zhang Lisheng was bathing in the sun while leaning on the thick cotton pillow on the bed. He held a tablet computer in one hand and slid the computer screen with the other.
Pages of information about the Atlanteans and the different supernatural realms spread across the continents of the Earth continued to flash before his eyes. Without warning, a knock on the door interrupted the Wizard Li god's thoughts.
"Lisheng, Auntie Lili is asking you to go down for breakfast." A hoarse female voice resonated from outside the door.
"Alright, Ruili, I'll go down right away." Zhang Lisheng casually replied and jumped off the bed. After washing up, he continued to look at the computer as he walked downstairs.
It was almost eight o 'clock at this time. According to the breakfast routine, other than the eldest son whose whereabouts were unknown and the housewife who was serving the meat pancakes, everyone in the Lavin family was already sitting around the dining table.
"Today's breakfast is your favorite beef pancake, baby." When Lili saw that Zhang Lisheng was the last one to walk into the kitchen and sit down, she brought a full plate of beef pancakes to him and reminded, "You can't look at the computer when you eat."
"I'm working, mom. There are too many things to plan for the newly developed farm. Also, for those Wizard Li tribesmen who are homeless in Noah, I'm the only 'spiritual faith' they can see now. I'm responsible for all of their future," Zhang Lisheng shrugged and explained but still turned off the tablet.
"Lisheng, it's not only those foreign world's' shorties' that you need to be responsible for now. The millions of refugees in Noah World also need your mercy." Upon hearing the black-haired young man's words, the eldest daughter of the Lavin family who worked at NBC TV picked up a piece of pancake and tore it open. She stuffed it into her mouth and said in a hoarse voice.
"Oh, Miss Reporter who smokes excessively. It's the responsibility of the federal government to solve the refugee problem humanely. My profession is not the president of the United States but an ordinary businessman and a biologist whose faith in science is shaken. This kind of problem has nothing to do with me." Zhang Lisheng shrugged and folded a large piece of meat pancake before swallowing it in one gulp.
"Haven't you heard of this saying before, Mr. Ordinary Businessman? The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility." Ruili looked at the black-haired young man sideways and said.
"You're talking about the Super Heroes in the science fiction movie, Miss Reporter," Zhang Lisheng said while chewing on the pancake. "As a businessman, the only thing I should be responsible for is the rights and interests of the shareholders. According to the current property rights of LS, I only need to be responsible for myself."
"Oh, my cold-blooded brother! I should really throw you to the suburbs and let you stay with those people who are suffering from cold and hunger for a few days!" Ruili frowned and said with an overflowing sense of justice.
"Alright, kind Miss Reporter. Don't worry, I've already planned to recruit employees from those refugees." Upon hearing the female reporter's complaint that was gradually becoming serious, Zhang Lisheng suddenly smiled. "I'll give up on mechanized development and use as much manpower as possible to manage the oasis. I hope that this stupid behavior won't bankrupt me."
"Oh, Lisheng! You're really amazing! Such a decision will definitely save many lives!" Ruili was stunned for a moment before exclaiming in excitement and hugging the black-haired young man next to her. Lili, who was by the side, also had a very gratified smile on her face.
"Ah, Ruili, can you let me go? I plan to go to the farm to announce the new 'labor plan' after I finish eating the pancake to save those poor refugees. Strictly speaking, you're wasting my meal time like this. Strictly speaking, you're treating human life like grass!" Zhang Lisheng said helplessly in the soft embrace of the beautiful NBC female reporter.
"Is the consequence that serious, my dear brother? In that case, I can only continue this hug at night and do an interview with you while I'm at it." After waking up from her excitement, Ruili felt the strong physique and indescribable unique charm of the young man in her arms for the first time. Suppressing the strange feeling, she pretended to be calm and said.
