Chapter 244 – Transdimensional Academy Established! (1)

“We should’ve long since figured out what could be stored within the library of a 32nd-century children’s toy.”

After waiting for the hundreds of professors to recover from their stupor, Chen Yu stepped into the library and pointed at the thousands of bookshelves enveloped in a quaint atmosphere. He then said, “When this Hogwarts—Super Floating Castle took to the skies, I had been considering how I should make use of it. I have thought of using it for myself. I have also thought of using it as a tourist destination.

“However, when I entered this library…

“I discovered that compared to high-tech products such as the Weather Control Module, Type-K Beast Armor, and Vacuum Tube Maglev Train, this seemingly ordinary toy is many times more valuable. The time of its appearance is also perfect. At least now, I have enough power to protect it.”

Reaching out and grabbing a thick book titled Organic Probability Theory, Chen Yu flipped to a page in the middle. He then showed the page’s text to the camera and said, “Can you see it? These books aren’t decoration. The knowledge recorded in them is factual.

“Normally, in the distant 32nd century, information would be stored in various electronic devices. However, to give users a more immersive feeling, the Lego Company has cleverly stored this information in books. I have to say that the company’s focus on quality and details is the fortune of all humanity.”

[This is too awesome!]

[All hail Lego!]

[You can buy the solar system with these books.]

[If there are aliens that can make contact with us, they might offer a star system for this information.]

[Boring. Too boring…]

[We have two gaseous planets nearby and a black hole that is within an observable and usable range. Combine with the knowledge from over a thousand years into the future, humanity’s development is going to skyrocket.]

[I know what the UP’s plan is now…]

Encouraged by their students and assistants, the professors standing outside the castle finally couldn’t hold back their urges any longer and tentatively stepped into the library.

“There are three floors in the library.” Putting the book back, Chen Yu turned to face the crowd of professors and said, “We are currently on the first floor, and this floor contains basic scientific knowledge and cultural and artistic works. The second floor contains encyclopedias and books on cutting-edge science and technology such as the Encyclopedia Britannica and DK Science History. These books are updated to the year 3170.”

“However, due to special reasons, I will not open the second floor for access. While we can use future technology for reference, we need to be the ones to develop the form of human civilization’s society.

The third floor is filled with small tools for children to experiment and play with. Of course, the accuracy and technological content of these tools far exceed our current understanding.

“By now, I’m sure everyone can already guess what my plan is.

“And that is to create the core of human civilization, scientific and technological development, and academic research—the Transdimensional Academy!”

Buzz!

Upon hearing Chen Yu’s words, the professors could no longer restrain themselves and promptly started a heated discussion with each other.

Texts also flooded the bullet comment section of the ten livestream rooms.

However, Chen Yu did not stop these people from venting their emotions. Instead, he walked along the central aisle and arrived on top of the circular, elevated platform located in the library’s center. He then quietly observed everyone until they stopped talking on their own accord.

“In Harry Potter, Hogwarts is an academy. As we have seen, this castle is also most suitable to be used as an academy. There are plenty of scientific and technological theories and experimental equipment available in this library, and these things can help rid mankind of technology’s unpredictability. Since we already have the answer, we won’t have to worry about making mistakes while answering questions. Just like the development of China’s science and technology back then, once we know that certain technology is 100% achievable, all we need to do is conduct trials until we succeed.”

Resting both hands on the podium, Chen Yu remained silent for a moment as he gave his audience some time to process his words. He then continued, “Since we already have such a sturdy foundation, the Transdimensional Academy naturally cannot be similar to other higher education institutions. Its authority and standard must be higher than any other school. It will become the shrine of mankind’s academia.

“Therefore, the Transdimensional Academy cannot belong to a single country. It belongs to the whole of mankind. It must remain as an objective, neutral, and third-party institution. This is also the reason why I have relocated the floating castle to the Pacific Ocean’s equator.

“The Transdimensional Academy will not cultivate social talents. It will only cultivate research talents. No international event can involve the Academy, and all forms of ideology will disappear in this place. Aside from knowledge and science, no impurities are allowed on the floating castle. At the very least, there shall be none on the surface. I want to create a utopia in academia.”

After saying so, Chen Yu pointed at the magnificent library around him and stared at the professors. “If you want to come into contact with the wealth here and pursue the limits and mysteries of science, then give up all of your duties to the institutions and enterprises you work for and become a professor, mentor, scholar, and student of the Transdimensional Academy. The fruits of your research will be shared with all of mankind. And like Newton and Einstein, your names will be remembered and revered by history.

“Whether it is the extension of the human lifespan, space colonization, or exploration of the boundless universe, you will be the first pioneers to try it.

“Civilization will shine for you.” After saying so, Chen Yu couldn’t help but inwardly added, Of course, I will still shine the brightest…

[Host, you’re awesome!]

[Nintendo… No. UP, you’re the ruler of the world!]

[Harvesting a bunch of scientists without spending a penny.]

[XX University: “I showed you respect and sent my professors to you, yet you’re going to bleed my dry?!”]

[A moment of silence for the various universities, lololol…]

[I’m going to consider applying for Transdimensional U.]

[What about the matter of funding?]

[The whole world’s governments are his investors! Distribution of the Academy’s research results will most likely be based on each country’s investment. In the end, the Academy still has nothing to do with small fries like us.]

[Let me tell you a joke. Underdeveloped countries are not made up of humans.]

[It is impossible for ideologies to disappear completely. However, such an environment is undoubtedly a heaven for scholars.]

[Science and knowledge are the driving force of everything. I believe it won’t be long before the Transdimensional Academy has the power to overwhelm the world.]

[You’re overthinking things. Even now, the UP can already beat up the world…]

[These are two different matters altogether.]

“How about it?” Straightening his back, Chen Yu stretched out three fingers and said, “You can gain access to knowledge available in the next thousand years without any hard work. Are you willing to give up your previous positions, statuses, and even national borders? I’ll only give you three minutes to consider—”

“I’m willing!” x378

Chen Yu: “…”

“S-Shouldn’t you think it through first?”

“No need!” x375.

Only a few professors present were taking the time to consider Chen Yu’s proposal carefully. As for the rest, they agreed to it without hesitation. Some had even pulled out their satellite phones to contact their respective workplaces and resigned on the spot.

“M-Mr. King…”

At this time, a white female professor from Harvard University stepped forward hesitantly.

“What do you want to say?” Chen Yu asked.

“I-I still know many friends who are engaged in scientific research. They don’t wish to work hard anymore, either.”

Hearing this, Chen Yu pulled out a file and a quill and passed them to the female professor. “Write.”

“Thank you, Mr. King!”

“You’re still calling me ‘mister’?”

“Thank you, Headmaster!”
