Chapter 46

Sure enough, it was just as Jiang Ye had expected.

Some equipment that had been running was damaged when humanity suddenly disappeared, but such cases were rare. Overall, the problem wasn't too bad.

Jiang Ye tried starting it up, but there was no response.

He checked the electrical box and found that the breaker had tripped.

But when he flipped it back on, he found there was still no power.

"Hey, wait. It's the second day, so only one day has passed. Has the power station already cut off electricity to the industrial district? Can someone who knows about this explain?"

"As I see it, there are two possibilities. One is an emergency shutdown at the power station: it detected a potential danger, and the preset safety measures activated on their own. The other is that something went wrong at the station."

"What's the point of talking about that? The question is, what did Jiang Ye come here to do? What's his motive? I understand him less and less!"

"Exactly. He isn't setting up a safe place or collecting fine wine and food. He came here out of nowhere, and we don't even know what he's looking at. A genius's brain really is different from ordinary people's."

"I don't understand it, but it looks impressive."

"God Jiang probably has his own ideas."

Viewers around the world discussed it.

This time,

Jiang Ye got back on his bicycle and headed for the nearest solar photovoltaic power station.

Fifteen minutes later,

With countless pairs of eyes on him, Jiang Ye narrowed his eyes slightly as he surveyed the sprawling grounds before him and the banks of photovoltaic modules inside.

Compared with residential power generation, solar photovoltaic power generation was now the main way of supplying electricity for industry.

After a brief look, he walked into the workshop.

"I'm wondering, if he wants to secure the power supply, why come to the industrial district?"

"Exactly. If he's worried about the power going out later, why not look for a power station in a residential or commercial district?"

"He's not planning to live in the industrial district from now on, is he?"

At this point,

Viewers around the world understood him less and less.

And it wasn't just them. The senior executives of the Ten Conglomerates, high-ranking government officials from various countries, mathematicians, scientists, and other groups were equally baffled.

Inside the workshop, Jiang Ye looked around for a while and found that many of the machines had broken down.

[System, how long can I activate each of the two learning states?]

[Super Learning State duration: 2 hours. Ultimate Learning State: 30 minutes.]

The two learning states weren't independent of each other.

In other words, if Jiang Ye activated and used the Super Learning State for two hours, the Ultimate Learning State's thirty minutes would be reduced accordingly.

[Then activate the Super Learning State!]

Jiang Ye's goal was to repair the machines, so the Super Learning State was enough to learn how to use and repair them.

[Activated.]

As he communicated inwardly, Jiang Ye found a stack of relevant documents.

He immediately began speed-reading through them.

Outside, people saw Jiang Ye flipping through the documents at a speed even faster than taking in ten lines at a glance. Although it wasn't the first time, this time it sparked tremendous controversy.

That was because Jiang Ye's extraordinary learning state had finally caught the attention of countless viewers around the world.

"He's started learning at that strange, extraordinary speed again. You could say he already had the knowledge to solve the conjectures before he joined the show, but I really don't believe he knew about power stations beforehand too and is doing this to fool us."

"Unless he really came back to the present from the future, or knew years ago that he would be on the show now, this learning state of his isn't a trick. Pay attention: it's real. He really is learning!"

"Exactly. Neither of the two possibilities just mentioned is realistic. I'm more inclined to believe he has this super learning ability. Yes, it can only be called a superpower."

"It's simple. Barring any surprises, he's reading this stuff because he wants to repair the machines. Let's see whether he can do it. If he succeeds, he really does have a superpower."

"Coming back to the present, knowing ahead of time and preparing, or a learning superpower-any of them is possible, but whichever it is, it's incredible."

At that moment, countless viewers' anticipation for the result reached its peak.

If he really did repair the machines, then Jiang Ye would indeed fit one of the three scenarios previously proposed.

And compared with the Millennium Prize conjectures from before, this would undoubtedly cause an even more explosive, sensational earthquake around the world, unprecedented in scale.

Half an hour later,

Jiang Ye put down the documents, switched off his learning state, then fetched a toolbox and began making repairs.

Just then, a well-known scientist posted on Twitter, narrowing the three possibilities down to one.

"There's a logical error in the ideas that have just become popular."

"Whether he came back to the present from the future or knew beforehand and prepared, he wouldn't behave this way under these circumstances. He wouldn't need to solve math problems and cause us to notice and suspect him."

"He would have better strategies. For example, he could build a safe place as normal, look for and stockpile some food as normal, or find a way to preserve humanity's books and documents. He wouldn't need to excel; he would only need to do well enough, because he would know that keeping his secret was the most important thing."

"So there's only one possibility: he has an extraordinary talent for learning. He didn't dare show it before, but now that humanity has suddenly disappeared, he has nothing holding him back."

Just then,

After the scientist posted on Twitter,

Within a very short time, 90% of the viewers agreed with him, including even viewers from Dragon Country.

Chapter 46: He Alone Was Worth All the Scientists (Bonus Chapter)

"I suddenly realized time is crawling. I really want to see Jiang Ye finish the repairs and find out whether he succeeds."

"Exactly. If the machines actually start working, damn, just thinking about it is exciting."

"Wait, what the hell are you people so excited about? Even if he succeeds, that superpower is Jiang Ye's alone. What the hell does it have to do with you?"
