I Found A Planet

At night, in the guest room at the He’s, Chen Jin was playing with his phone while lying on the bed. In the WeChat family group “A Lovely Family,” he received some messages.

Su Tiantian: “Brother-in-law, come out and distribute red packets, give me a few more red packets!”

Mother Su’s voice message said, “You only know to ask for red packets all day every day, Little Chen, ignore her.”

Chen Jin smiled. In a mere swipe, he gave out five 200-dollar red packets.

In less than two seconds, Su Tiantian, Su Zipeng, Mother Su, and Father Su received red packets one after another.

Father Su’s voice message said, “Little Chen, you have already given out dozens of red packets since yesterday, stop sending any more of them, that girl at home is calling for a beating!”

Chen Jin: “Su Yun, the last red packet is yours, claim it quickly.”

Su Yun, who was looking at her phone, resignedly tapped on the red envelope on her screen, claiming the last red packet.

She typed: “Chen Jin, seriously, stop sending red packets, don’t listen to Tiantian fussing around.”

Su Tiantian: “Alright alright, I’ll let you go, brother-in-law.”

Mother Su’s voice message said, “Little Chen, you said that you are especially busy this year and you can’t come. Visit us next year then, make sure you come next year!”

Father Su’s voice message said, “Sigh, you kid, no matter how busy you are with your business, must you be that busy until you have to work through Lunar New Year? Is it not possible for you to empty just two days? How about we reimburse your train ticket? Sigh, all my friends and relatives around me say they want to see you, but you can’t come.”

Deep down, Father Su and Mother Su were very upset. At first, their hearts were filled with anticipation; they felt that Chen Jin could come to visit them and meet their friends and relatives over there, but… it seemed he was too busy. This was also the reason why Su Tiantian pestered him for red packets.

Chen Jin: “I’m really very sorry. The end of the year is the busiest time for business, I’m all tied up here, I hope you guys can understand.”

Su Yun: “Dad, mom, stop making Chen Jin feel guilty. Men should focus on their career. Others can come later when their career is doing good. You both are in too much of a hurry, you can’t wait to get me married right away.”

Father Su’s voice message said, “Alright alright, I won’t talk about this anymore.”

Mother Su grumbled, “You’re almost 28, how could you ask your parents to not be anxious?” After her grumbles, this topic was never brought up again.

Chen Jin messaged Su Yun in private: “Thank you for saying good things for me.”

There was no response from the other side for quite some time. After a long while, she sent back two words, “No need.” Su Yun gently shut her eyes. There was bitterness in her mouth as she shook her head.

I’m the one that is thinking too much. How is it even possible for us to be together? The contrast is just too big, just like heaven and earth. But why must you provoke me, why must you enter my family WeChat group, why must you let unrealistic fantasies grow in me? Sigh! You b*****d, I have completely no idea what you’re thinking about, and you placed me in such a difficult spot, like I can’t advance nor back out of this.”

Having thought about it… Su Yun’s heart was filled with resentment.

Perhaps it was that he could feel the woman’s resentment, but after some thought, Chen Jin replied, “Su Yun, you are a good lady. I am not the choosy kind of person and I like you quite a lot… but this year was really packed, next year, I will not disappoint uncle and auntie.”

Su Yun froze as if she was shocked by electricity.

Good lady, like me…

Her face turned red rapidly as her heartbeat accelerated. She took up her phone and sent a few words: “I’m going to sleep.” Then, she quickly went under her blanket. Sometimes giggling, sometimes swaying, she flipped around in her bed and couldn’t sleep the whole night.

…

On the 14th of February, on Planet Haierfa at the Base of Operations, artificial intelligence Alice reported exciting news in the office building. “Master, there’s a breakthrough, there’s a major breakthrough at the national laboratory! Collision tests persisted for more than three months on the particle collider and accumulated more than 1000 instances of high-value data. We have found the regular pattern for a precise collision. As of now, we are able to accumulate more than 50 instances of high-value data every day. According to this high-value data and the massive amounts of information left over by the scientists in this national laboratory, a formula of grave importance is about to be derived by Nuwa and I. This is of great significance to our future.”

“What formula?” Chen Jin questioned, looking at Alice in front of him.

“The Formula for the Grand Unification of Forces!” Artificial Intelligence Nuwa’s projection appeared at his side. She explained to Chen Jin, “In fact, after more than two hundred years of research, the formula for the Grand Unification was at the verge of success of being derived long ago by the fundamental physicists. But due to the lack of actual data support, they fall short of success at the very last step. But after the ‘lock’ vanished, we recently acquired sufficient experimental data to be used to derive the formula for the Grand Unification. As long as we accumulate more than 10,000 instances of high-value data, Alice and I are 99.9% sure that we can derive the final formula for the grand unification and unveil the ultimate mystery of the world of forces!” Nuwa was really excited about this. In order to derive the formula for the Grand Unification, her efficiency in the environmental transformation plan was halved these few months as she used most of her operating powers in deriving the formula for the Grand Unification.

Chen Jin was rather baffled. Bewildered, he asked, “Isn’t it just a formula, what’s the use of deriving it?”

“The use is very, very big!” Alice explained, “By uncovering the ultimate mystery of forces, we could unify the four basic forces of universal gravitation, electromagnetic force, weak molecular force, and strong molecular force in one formula. By then, we could do whatever we want with these basic forces. For example, inventing an anti-gravity device to generate artificial gravitational fields in spacecrafts; manufacturing anti-gravity aircrafts; creating powerful gravity bombs, and so on. We could also develop nuclear fusion reactors with higher power and higher reliability that can burn the most common hydrogen, thus achieving the ultimate version of infinite energy. Developing force shields, force fields, force weapons and many more… With the formula of the Grand Unification of Forces at hand, we could accomplish almost anything that is related to ‘force’.”

Holy!!

Upon hearing Alice’s explanation, Chen Jin opened his mouth wide open. A mere formula was actually that important! It could be said that with mastery over the ultimate formula of all things, you could do what God could do. Or in other words, you were God!

The formula of the Grand Unification of Forces must not be credited to both Alice and Nuwa alone, what they did was just complete the final step. The main derivation process must still be credited to the scientists that once worked in the national laboratory. It was humans as the ones that derived a formula that was ever so close to the truth but hit the skids due to the lack of actual data validation. After the “lock” imposed by the mysterious forces vanished, the fog dispersed. Rays of sunshine pierced through the dark clouds as a colorful rainbow came to light in the cleared sky.

The avenue of truth was swaying in front of Chen Jin. With just a light step ahead, he would be able to grasp the world of forces in his very own hands.

Sigh!

Chen Jin sighed. “Scientists that fumbled in darkness generation after generation, you can now rest in peace. Your quests are not in vain; your footsteps are not without a trace; you have taken yourselves to the final step to the light.”

Immediately, he commanded Alice and Nuwa: “Put in full effort to derive the formula for the Grand Unification and solve the equation at the fastest speed possible!”

“Yes, master!” Alice and Nuwa said at the same time.
