Chapter 78 Star Engineer

The live broadcast ended faster than expected.

The moment the signal ended, every audience member, whether they were technical workers in remote galaxies or well-known scholars in the inner ring star regions, seemed to feel an unprecedented shock.

The information released by Fang Yan exploded in their minds like a supernova.

It was a kind of knowledge density compressed to the extreme, beyond the limits of people's cognition and understanding. Both studies contained unfathomable technical background and strategic significance, forcing them to keep thinking in addition to being shocked.

People's breathing became rapid and their hands clenched unconsciously, as if they heard a call from a distant unknown source.

The next moment, a torrent of data madly poured into the interstellar network, and viewers made excited comments, analyses and speculations on the interstellar forum.

The live broadcast video was broken down into countless tiny fragments and transmitted from one node to another. Within just a few minutes, Fang Yan's name had swept across the entire galaxy.

Every witness had mixed emotions, including awe, excitement, doubt and eagerness to try.

Countless scientists frowned, their eyes slightly red, and their fingers quickly sketched out formulas and deduction paths in the air, trying to decipher knowledge that was completely beyond the norm.

They realized that every word Fang Yan said pointed to a larger and deeper field of science and technology, which was very likely to shake the existing scientific system.

As time went by, Fang Yan's reputation skyrocketed, and discussions about him reached an unprecedented peak.

Countless young scientific researchers, engineers, and even politicians began to quietly pay attention to Fang Yan's name.

More and more ships set sail, and more and more elites rushed to the Earth from all directions.

At this moment, Fang Yan's name has become a symbol of a certain belief.

……

For the galaxy's elites, the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering are definitely two unattainable mountains.

The two academies are not far apart, both in the neutral galaxy in the inner ring of the Milky Way, the Blue Castle.

In a teahouse called Shui'an, the two deans met for afternoon tea as usual. As the most important figures in the galactic scientific research community, they met far more frequently than people imagined, and their relationship was closer.

The Dean of the Academy of Sciences, Weilan, is said to be nearly two hundred years old. He is tall but slightly thin, his temples are already stained with traces of time, and his eyes are sharp and cautious.

Vilan is known for his calmness and wisdom. He was the youngest winner of the Galaxy Prize at the Galactic Academy of Sciences and also the longest-serving president in history. He devoted his life to the research of theoretical physics and large-scale space models.

The Dean of Engineering is called Harold. He looks much younger, handsome, tall, and strong, with slightly blond curly hair and deep blue eyes. He always has a friendly smile on his face.

Harold raised his eyebrows with a hint of pride, and lightly slid his fingertips across the light curtain, displaying Fang Yan's two research results on the virtual projection.

Those complex symbols, charts and models flow and flicker in the light and shadow, showing a mysterious beauty and power.

"We were originally considering whether to nominate Fang Yan as a star engineer," Harold shrugged slightly. "But now, this is no longer an issue that needs to be discussed."

"Oh, so?" Weilan narrowed his eyes.

"The whole galaxy is in a tizzy over his live broadcast. Look at this." Harold tapped his finger, and a series of data charts emerged like a waterfall. Public discussion surged, and the number of citations of Fang Yan's research results by major scientific research institutions and the popularity of the topic increased.

All the data point to a fact that cannot be ignored: Fang Yan has become the hottest academic star at the moment. His influence even surpasses the reputation of many veteran academic giants at their peak.

Weilan's eyes darkened slightly, and a hint of anger flashed through his heart.

He couldn't refute these facts, but a certain resentment was brewing inside him. "Why didn't such a talented person become a scientist? Instead, he went to your Academy of Engineering. What a shame," Weilan pondered, his voice tinged with jealousy and regret.

puff~

Harold almost laughed out loud, his eyes filled with luck and pride. "You guys at the Academy of Sciences focus too much on theoretical research, constantly building models and predicting the future, but lack the courage to turn them into reality."

"And Fang Yan is clearly a man of action. He can not only create theories but also transform them into practical technologies. Such a person should definitely be in our Academy of Engineering."

“There have always been far more engineers than scientists, and there are profound reasons for this.”

"And ultimately, the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering are just different names. There's really no essential difference between us. Whether Fang Yan wears the Libra badge or the Atom badge, it's the same. Why bother with too many details?"

Having said that, the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering are one and the same, but Weilan still felt an unquenchable jealousy in his heart.

Weilan sighed and said somewhat dejectedly, "Since it has been approved internally, when do you plan to award Fang Yan the Star Engineer badge? Do you want to invite him to give a speech at Azure Castle?"

"To be honest, I'm looking forward to meeting this young man in person."

Harold spread his hands, his smile full of victory. "Just before we met, the badge was awarded."

"As for inviting Fang Yan to the Azure Castle, we should have done so. However, considering the long distance, we've decided to make an exception this time and not have him come to receive the badge. Instead, we'll send the badge to Earth so that we can see for ourselves what kind of magic power exists on that distant planet to produce such a genius."

Uh-huh~
Wei Lan felt a sudden sense of absurdity after hearing this. "So soon!? Why don't you let Fang Yan come to receive the badge? Instead, you guys deliver it to him in person!?"

"Is this appropriate? Aren't you guys too anxious!?"

Harold still had a smile on his face, as if he was appreciating the stunned expression on Weilan's face.

He waved his hand gently, shutting down the holographic projection. "We're from the Engineering Academy after all. We don't really care about rules. We prefer pragmatism."

……

Earth.

Blu-ray Technology Headquarters.

Fang Yan folded his hands and placed them on the table. On the table was a letter he had just received, an official letter from the Galaxy Engineering Institute. The golden scales pattern was particularly prominent under the light.

The content of the letter was very simple: the Galaxy Engineering Academy decided to officially award Fang Yan the Star Engineer badge in recognition of his numerous contributions to the Galaxy scientific research community.

Although the content of the letter was enough to drive countless engineers crazy, Fang Yan did not look too excited.

Fang Yan exhaled lightly, leaned back slightly, and leaned his body against the back of the chair, with an unprecedented strong sense of anticipation in his heart.

Becoming a star engineer certainly means recognition and glory, and is the ultimate goal of every engineer.

However, Fang Yan's anticipation and excitement at this moment were not due to the affirmation from the inner ring of the galaxy, but because of something else he didn't want to do at all.

Just now, Brown sent back the news.

All went well with the voyage.

He will arrive at the coordinate location at the latest tonight, Earth time!
