The moment the result appeared in the Holographic Projection, unmistakable delight spread across Lü Yongchang's face.
Just as I thought! My guess was right!
The moment the Technology Tree had broken through to level eight, he had realized a small part of the truth hidden in that mottled background image!
Without detailed comparison data, he had been unable to draw a conclusion at the time.
But now...
The answer was plain to see.
A small portion of the vast, mottled background image was a map of cosmic microwave background radiation!
"P-Professor..."
He Bilin's bewildered voice came from beside him.
"If this smaller image is a map of cosmic microwave background radiation..."
"Then what... is this much larger image supposed to be?"
Compared with the smaller image, the larger one was even more complex, containing countless structures and shapes he had never seen before.
Lü Yongchang slowly turned his head and gave He Bilin a meaningful look.
"Naturally, it's also a map of cosmic microwave background radiation."
At those words, He Bilin felt his brain freeze.
"Th-That's impossible!"
To prove his point, he reached out and worked the Holographic Projection, comparing the large, mottled image with the cosmic microwave background radiation map drawn by the Academy of Sciences.
Match: 9.731%.
He Bilin pointed at the result and looked back at Lü Yongchang. "Professor, this..."
Faced with He Bilin's doubts, Lü Yongchang merely chuckled.
"I never said it was the cosmic microwave background radiation of our universe."
"...Wh-What?!"
The moment Lü Yongchang finished speaking, gasps of varying intensity rang out throughout the Laboratory.
He Bilin, who had been sitting beside Lü Yongchang, sprang straight out of his chair.
His eyes wide and his face filled with shock, he pointed at the Holographic Images surrounding him. "Professor! What you're saying... you
