Chapter 1021: 508
Ruan Wenye, Huang Zhong, and Zhang Qican’s job was to find the mathematical correlation between the composition of photon energy and the ’divine code.’
This sounds very complex, but an example makes it simple to understand.
For instance, building an interstellar spaceship that allows aliens to live onboard for an extended period, making sure that the aliens have the most comfortable living conditions possible within the spaceship.
Putting aside the spaceship construction technology for a moment, building a ship suitable for alien habitation is no easy task because humans do not know what aliens look like, let alone what kind of environment is suitable for them to live in.
But now, humans have obtained a house where an alien once lived.
This house, full of odd and completely different things compared to houses on Earth, baffles humans as to what is essential, what each item is used for, and moreover, how to manufacture these items.
Humans need to identify where the alien house and things on Earth are similar or identical to slowly understand ’the living needs of aliens.’
The work that Ruan Wenye, Huang Zhong, and Zhang Qican were doing was precisely this: they needed to find ’commonalities between the alien’s house and the knowledge they possessed,’ which would incrementally increase their understanding of the ’alien’s house.’
The alien’s house represents the divine code.
There are a lot of things in the house, many of which are not directly related to known knowledge, making it feel overwhelming to begin understanding.
It is a very difficult task.
When nothing makes sense, and you don’t know where to start, you need to analyze the details slowly. Even with a lot of effort, understanding aliens completely just from their house is extremely difficult because, perhaps, this house is an alien’s ’factory,’ or a place for ’eating,’ rather than a place for everyday living. It’s even possible that aliens don’t need to live at all.
In short, the job is highly complex.
Zhao Yi didn’t expect the three of them to truly figure out anything; he simply hoped to identify some ’commonalities’ that would add to the ’conditions’ for using "Correlation Law" and thereby further understand the divine code.
In fact, even before the others arrived, Zhao Yi had already been researching for several days with virtually no results. The worst outcome would be still no theoretical findings and relying solely on photon experiments for some insights.
Zhao Yi thought about it, shook his head, and actually had some expectations for the trio. He genuinely hoped they could achieve some results.
"However..."
"If they are just perfecting the conditions, and I make the final summary, using my abilities to come to a conclusion..."
"Does it seem like they’ve become tools? Hard workers? And I’ve become the vile boss?"
"Isn’t there a saying? As long as the hard worker works extra hard, puts in a few more hours each day, then, sooner or later, the boss will be able to switch from a Mercedes to a Ferrari!"
"Pfft~~"
Thinking about it, Zhao Yi couldn’t help but laugh. He shook his head and decided he should give them a bit more encouragement.
That day, he visited the office where they worked, checked on Ruan Wenye and the others’ ’learning progress,’ and even gave an hour-long explanation. Before leaving, he said, "Everyone, keep it up!" freёwebnovel.com
"This research depends on you all; frankly, I’m out of options," he said with regret, "A single person not only can’t handle it all, there’s also a lack of inspiration."
"Brother Ye, you have a high level of expertise, strong capabilities, and rich experience—this project is still on you!"
"Academician Huang, we became academicians together; you specialize in particle mathematics, I believe you’ll definitely grasp the key points..."
"Brother Zhang, keep it up! I’m most optimistic about you, a super genius in physics both domestically and internationally..."
"Bla bla bla!!"
Zhao Yi said a lot, essentially meaning he had great faith in their abilities and was sure they could make a significant impact.
Once Zhao Yi had left, Ruan Wenye immediately got excited, "Did you hear what Academician Zhao said? He’s out of options. Well, I guess some of it may be a bluff, but certainly, some part of it must be true; otherwise, he wouldn’t need us."
Huang Zhong and Zhang Qican nodded in agreement.
Ruan Wenye continued, "If we can achieve results this time, it will surely be a world sensation! I truly anticipate..."
"Just think about it, what kind of results has Academician Zhao been producing? He has completed so many top-tier research projects on his own. Now he needs others for this research, and it’s on the divine code, no less."
"I’m genuinely excited."
Huang Zhong listened and felt expectant too. They all could tell that Zhao Yi’s words were meant to encourage them.
But...
Those words were spoken by Zhao Yi!
Who is Zhao Yi?
The world’s top-level mathematician, theoretical physicist, a super genius with top-tier achievements in many fields!
Having such a person say a few words of encouragement and express confidence, simply hearing them felt exhilarating.
So, what else could they do?
"Let’s give it our all!"
All of a sudden, they were filled with fighting spirit. freёwebnoѵel.com

Meanwhile, Zhao Yi became quite relaxed since there had been no progress in his research for a while. He decided to wait until the group had digested the content before turning his attention to other things.
For example, the laboratory.
Zhao Yi visited the medical center to check on the chimpanzee Silly. It was reassuring to see that Silly was still alive and well, seemingly even a bit plumper, though his spirits seemed a bit dampened.
