Maybe This Man Isn’t From Earth

The meeting room fell silent.

The situation had become more complicated.

"Due to your incompetence, Mr. Shawn's great invention is now known by many countries. Don't you have anything to say now?"

General Newt said angrily.

"General, I suggest that we claim, in the name of the United States, that everything Mr. Shawn invents is patented by us."

"General, the United States is the most powerful country in the world. In the future, Mr. Shawn will be the leader of our scientific and technological industry. We must protect his inventions."

Bang!

General Newt slammed the table and stood up. "Bulls*t, this is all bullsh*t."

"In front of more than 100 countries from around the world, Mr. Shawn's designs have already been seen by many big countries. What's the use of patents?"

Although General Newt was angry, he sat down and said, "Get the Intellectual Property Department to act and protect the interest of the United States."

"Also, we have intelligence that our allies and Japan have other ideas. I want to ask everyone, how are we to ensure the safety of the rescue mission?"

"Also, once Mr. Shawn is rescued, we have to agree to all of Mr. Shawn's conditions."

"Inferior Japan is playing around again. Damn it."

The officials in the meeting room were all very angry.

Japan was once a country that had been defeated by the United States' nuclear bomb.

Now, it was playing around again.

General Newt said, "The one we should be most wary of is China."

"Chinese scientists had played a part in the development of the super spaceship and even participated in the development of the space-folding technology."

"We can't underestimate them. Especially since China has that young scientist named Li Qiang."

He glanced at Ron.

Ron's face was a little ashamed.

He was the one who had brought the world's attention to Shawn's design.

...

In the meeting room of the Chinese command ship.

It was a similar situation. Everyone's face was filled with worry.

Li Qiang was standing beside an old man at the long table.

"Li Qiang, what do you think about the American, Shawn?"

Li Qiang said with a serious face, "Strictly speaking, I have never met anyone who could make me fall to my knees but after looking at Mr. Shawn's design, even if I were given another ten years, I wouldn't be able to make such a thing."

"Moreover, Mr. Shawn is only eighteen years old."

The old man frowned and said, "Can we win him over to our country?"

Everyone was silent for a moment.

Zhang Jing stood up and said, "Chairman, it's not impossible. Although I don't know of Mr. Shawn's exact situation, I have top-secret information here."

"During the ten years that Mr. Shawn was missing, he spent it in a remote mountain village in China."

"What?"

"Immediately go to the spaceship and question the people Mr. Shawn came into contact with. I want to know everything about Mr. Shawn."

"Even if a genius like Mr. Shawn can't be claimed by China, it is still a blessing for all mankind."

"Mr. Shawn does not belong to any country but to all of mankind. We must fight for what we can."

...

The tension in the command ship of the space fleet was unknown to Shawn.

Shawn had finished drawing over more than a thousand sets of blueprints.

He had been a little unfamiliar with the drawing software at the beginning. In the end, he became so fast that his fingers, as he tapped on the keyboard, ghost images of his hands appeared.

He didn't acknowledge the time. When he was hungry, he would pop a Bean of Immortality.

Each set of mechanical drawings contained at least three sets of working parts and could contain as many as a hundred parts.

A total of 999 sets of drawings had been sketched out and together, they formed the main part of the planetary engine.

He had not even planned the command rooms.

He found a USB drive and stored a few backups. The computer was still functional for now.

However, the entire earth has been away for a long time.

There was no guarantee that the power wouldn't suddenly run out and the network could be cut off at any time.

Therefore, it was necessary to maintain the power and internet.

"F*ck, Ball Owner, his hands are so fast."

"If he played esports, wouldn't he be invincible?"

"Come on, esports requires not only hand speed but also good reaction time and hand-eye coordination. If the Ball Owner played basketball, I think he would be the most elite player."

"I think you're just jealous."

Now, the entire world recognized that Shawn was a genius.

The voices that had claimed that Shawn was mentally ill grew less and less. If someone said anything unsavory, it would instantly be drowned out by a huge number of comments.

"Topics on mental disorders are no longer acknowledged by the artificial intelligence."

Shawn connected to the Internet.

The moment he opened the programming software, he wrote hundreds of code and continuously grabbed some papers and materials that were beneficial to his research.

"Damn, that's awesome. Even if I write a code, it will take me two months to learn it."

"You studied at Lan Xiang, didn't you?"

"Hahahaha."

The comments of Chinese people often made Westerners confused.

"Where is Lan Xiang?"

Ah San: "Hey, I know, I know! It must be some extremely famous software university in China."

"Hahahaha."

The Chinese woman: "Yes, yes, Ah San is right."

"I admire Mr. Shawn. It's one thing for him to be handsome but he's also so talented. How could such a person exist?"

"Come on, can you compete with Qiu Zhu?"

"Haven't you noticed that Mr. Shawn hasn't moved his seat even though his last meal was over 10 hours ago?"

"Isn't he hungry?"

Suddenly, a netizen said.

"Eh, I think so. I've already eaten three meals, and Mr. Shawn hasn't moved at all. Will he suddenly collapse?"

"He will be able to wait for the arrival of his country's rescue, right?".

"Mr. Shawn, hang in there."

Huaxia woman: "Mr. Shawn, take care of your body. I still want to give birth to a monkey for you."

Huaxia woman no. 2: "Mr. Shawn, wait for us to save you. You can't give up on yourself and go on a hunger strike."

"Poor Mr. Shawn. Look at him. He's lost weight."

The computer was processing the data.

Shawn brought over another huge pile of books. There were more than ten books.

When all the people on Earth saw the books that Shawn brought over, they were stunned.

"Utopia."

"Outlaws of the Marsh."

"The Diamond Sutra."

"Journey to the West..."

"D*mn, what's Mr. Shawn doing? Why is he reading these things?".

"You're the only one left on Earth. Are you bored?"

All these were fictional literature or philosophy books.

Despite that, they contained the great wisdom of the ancients and many of its contents were still considered valuable knowledge.

It was even harder for one to completely understand these books as compared to any of the science or technology books from earlier.

Shawn started reading a Journey to the West and the corners of his mouth rose in a smile as he said, "So that's how it is? The Tang monk is actually Liu Hong's son."

"Holy Sh*t, he is a God."

"You could figure that out."

In China, some experts had already deciphered the meaning of the Journey to the West.

They had studied that book for many years.

Look at Shawn flip through the books at lightning speed. He flipped through one book after another.

How could he understand the true essence of the literary classics by reading in this manner?
