I Got Rich in Period Fiction-Chapter 593 - 583: Bewitchment_3

Chen Tianliang suddenly became anxious, "Chief Engineer He, why not conduct the research? Isn’t this a great scientific opportunity? If it really were accomplished, we could avoid so many regrets and detours, even going back to the wartime years to quickly drive out the invaders and protect our homeland."

"Brother Chen, have you thought about the possibility that some people might want to go even further back, to nip the war in the bud? Wouldn’t that be better?"

Chen Tianliang was momentarily stunned, his face flushing red. Indeed, he was behaving abnormally at this time, unable to contain himself.

Moreover, He Xiuyu was right; human desires are endless and greedy. If it really became possible, there would be endless tracing back.

Chen Tianliang was grateful that He Xiuyu hadn’t driven him out like a madman and was thankful He Xiuyu listened patiently and seriously to his words.

Chen Tianliang’s eyes reddened, "Chief Engineer He, I sincerely hope you can initiate this research. I’m willing to volunteer, to be the subject of experiments, no matter how they’re conducted, I will have no complaints or regrets, and I’ll cooperate fully."

He Xiuyu gently shook his head, guessing why Chen Tianliang was so desperate to return to the past; it must be for Xinghua, the daughter of Village Chief Qian.

"Brother Chen, this is no time to act rashly."

"It’s not about acting rashly, I truly am committed. You can use me for the experiment; whatever the consequences, they won’t be your responsibility. I can sign a waiver."

He Xiuyu sighed. Chen Tianliang, always calm and composed, became anxious and restless like ants on a hot pan when it came to matters like these.

This was not what He Xiuyu wanted to see.

"Brother Chen, what’s past is past. We should live in the present. That’s the best and wisest choice," He Xiuyu still patiently advised.

"Chief Engineer He, I’m older than you are, you call me Brother Chen, and although you might think my words are childish, unreasonable, or even foolish, I am indeed serious in discussing this matter with you. You’re so intelligent, if you really undertook this research, it could succeed within a few years. Truly, believe me."

Then he added, "At that time, no one on this earth could replace your status." freёweɓnovel.com

He Xiuyu clasped his hands together, "Brother Chen, have you been under a lot of work pressure lately? I think you should take a good rest, or maybe take a few days off from work, go on a trip, relax a bit."

"Chief Engineer He, I know how foolish I must seem in your eyes, but if heaven really has given me a glimmer of hope, how can I not seize it? My hope lies with you. I don’t know what has changed, something is different than in my dreams, but I truly hope you can continue the research."

By now, Chen Tianliang had gradually calmed down, his voice sincere, almost mesmerizing, "Chief Engineer He, I too am a materialist. I don’t believe in reincarnation. I believe that living each day well is most important. But this dream made me realize, the world is not as simple as it appears. What we currently see, is that all the world allows us to see?"

He Xiuyu gave a surprised raise of his eyebrows; those last few words Chen Tianliang said made a lot of sense.

Even he could not claim that Earth is the only planet in the universe with intelligent life.

"Brother Chen, even so, what of it? Science cannot tolerate any falsehood, scientific research must not violate natural human laws or societal norms."

"I know, I understand that, and if the research succeeded, it wouldn’t be made public; that would throw the world into chaos. It would be within a very limited scope. Your research findings, truly, Chief Engineer He..." he lowered his voice, "you are a genius, a rare genius in this field. Whereas scientists from other countries might struggle their whole lives without even scratching the surface, you could penetrate to the core. You are undeniably a very great scientist. I don’t know what stopped you from engaging in this research now, but it’s not too late to start..."

He Xiuyu remained silent, his gaze gentle upon Chen Tianliang.

He thought, these words must have been pent up in Chen Tianliang’s heart for a long time, because it had been several years since they first met.

Let it out, perhaps it will feel better afterward.

Otherwise, he would always live in such a fantasy, eventually driving himself insane.
