Chapter 214: Sol Three Hundred and Twenty-Seven, It Has to be Done

No one could prove that a parallel universe existed. If something was unprovable or could not be validated, as long as one believed in its existence, it would exist. Therefore, there could be one such universe where Earth was safe, and Tang Yue and Mai Dong were able to lead a peaceful and happy life.

That was what Tomcat said.

It also said that if there were really an infinite number of parallel universes, not only would Tang Yue and Mai Dong encounter each other once, they would encounter each other across the time at every Planck second.

“Then… Will they have kids?” Mai Dong asked softly.

“If your reproductive abilities are normal, you will clearly have children.”

“It’s not us…” Mai Dong corrected, trying hard to maintain her tone. After all, no one could see her face flushed red in the space station. “It’s them.”

“They are you,” Tomcat corrected.

“Then… How many children will they have?”

“How many children do you wish to have?” Tomcat asked.

“I already said it’s them! Them, not us!” Mai Dong took off her helmet and buried her head in her spacesuit. Her cheeks were burning in the cold air.

Tomcat was baffled.

Wasn’t Mai Dong in a parallel universe Mai Dong?

“Alright, then how many children do the Mai Dongs want to have? Miss Mai Dong, as their representative, please answer the question.” Tomcat changed the way it asked.

“Two, a boy and a girl,” Mai Dong replied. “It’s best if the boy is the older one. That way, he can protect his younger sister. The other way works too actually… But an elder sister will bully her younger brother.”

Tang Yue sat by the side sneering.

How naive.

It was clear that Mai Dong had never had an elder brother.

Who said that an elder brother would protect his sister?

For Tang Yue, he was never the one protecting his younger sister.

She was the one protecting him.

…

“Hmm… Hmm… Hmm.”

Tomcat muttered behind the monitor.

“What’s wrong?” Tang Yue looked up and asked.

Tomcat reached out its paw onto the monitor and curled its claw. “Tang Yue, I’ve sent the complete orientation dynamics plan to you. Do a calculation using pen and paper.”

Tang Yue was alarmed by the various symbols and Greek letters on the screen.

“Why aren’t you getting the workstation to do the calculation?” As Tang Yue asked, he took out a stack of scrap paper. “It’d be done with a simple tap of the keyboard.”

“Because I don’t trust it.” Tomcat bent over and continued working. “This workstation has been having problems recently. It keeps giving me erroneous results. It’s more stupid than you.”

“I’ll ignore that last line. You want me to calculate something so complicated with pen and paper…” Tang Yue uncapped his pen and scanned the screen of equations. “If you want me dead, you can just stab me with a knife.”

“Oppenheimer also used pen and paper when he calculated the critical mass needed for the uranium fuel back then.”

“That’s Oppenheimer!”

“But you are standing on the shoulders of giants.”
