Chapter 513: Long time no see
Translator: _Min_Editor: Rundi
”Long time no see.”
”Indeed, long time no see. Do you want a cup of coffee?”
”No need, I just want to take a look.”
University of Ber's library environment was elegant. Quite a number of students were studying around the tables, but the library was quiet. Jiang Chen was standing beside a bookshelf and opened an astronomy book with pictures.
Because Xie Lei was still in class, he waited for a bit.
And at that time, a book caught his attention.
Precisely, a picture caught his attention.
”How's the life in Frankberg?” To avoid disturbing other people, Jiang Chen tried to lower his tone.
”We're living a great life. Xie Lin's eyes have almost recovered; the hospital said they still need to observe for a few more days. I told her when she is discharged from the hospital, I will take her to New Swan Berg… Thank you.”
Compared to the teen with a pale face and skinny to the point where a gust of wind could blow him away, he was much taller and gained the liveness that belonged to his age.
Whether it was his growth or the genuine gratitude from his eyes, Jiang Chen was extremely pleased.
It meant that his investment was not wasted.
Helping the brother and sister was one of the few philanthropic things he did.
”You don't need to thank me,” Jiang Chen's eyes didn't leave the book while he whispered.
”Are you interested in astronomy?”
”Aerospace is within my investment interest, but I don't have too particular of an interest in astronomy… Or rather, I'm just interested in a particular planet.” His thumb gently rubbed on the dark red planet.
It was different from the spherical body with one side green and one red side in his ”dream”. This planet was ”dead.”
”Which one?”
”Gliese 581, 20.5 lightyears away from the solar system.”
Whenever he saw the planet, Jiang Chen had the powerless feeling where he was doing futile work. Facing the battle-tested Harmony civilization that spent thousands of years in wars, even with the wrap engine paper, he still didn't have strong odds of winning.
If this world was destined for destruction, then Future Group and Celestial Trade would be pointless.
Of course, as long as a sliver of hope remained, he would not spell defeat.
Xie Lei searched for a while in his mind, but he didn't have any impression of the name.
”Is this photo captured from a telescope?” Jiang Chen asked seemingly without common sense.
”How is that possible… Although the Hubble Telescope could capture planets hundreds of lightyears away, it would be impossible to capture the direct image of the planet. Some of the stars' brightness is dim, and the brighter stars directly cover some. Most of the extrasolar planets are analyzed according to the spectrum and other information to obtain the planetary environment, and then the planetary images are produced. ”
”Is that so?... I didn't think you are so knowledgeable in this field.”
[The war is half lost if there is no information about the invader, looks like it is time to find a more advanced telescope.]
”My senior sister is part of the astronomy club,” Xie Lei said.
Jiang Chen looked at him in surprise.
”I noticed from before, but you seem to be very popular.”
Xie Lei paused before he scratched his face, feeling shy.
”Is it?”
”How's your personal network in the university?”
”It's okay.”
”I need some help.”
”No problem,” Xie Lei answered sternly.
