Yu Lian's hand trembled—not because he was stunned by this earth-shattering news, but because he was excited and moved.
He had laid so many plans and dropped so many hints before finally getting his friends to "discover" the greatest treasure from another timeline as if by chance.

As Mr. Qi mused with a mischievous grin, he said, "I'm a man of letters, after all. I don't understand physics, and I can't make heads or tails of the notes here. But you should be able to figure them out, right?"
Of course he could. Yu Lian wasn't a science major, but he was a bona fide graduate of a prestigious military academy, where he'd taken courses in higher mathematics, engineering, and astrophysics. He'd also studied the subjects on his own. He wasn't especially gifted in these fields, but as a psion, he had a learning advantage. He might never become a world-class scientist, but earning a doctorate in high-energy physics was certainly within his reach.
Yu Lian switched into the psion's "quantum speed-reading" mode and read through the report at remarkable speed, with intense focus. His expression grew solemn, as though he were a proper scientist. He pondered rigorously for a moment, then nodded slowly. "It's definitely very
