Chapter 296 – Surprising Additional Livestream (2)
Morning, 8:55 AM:
Lanhe District, Chen family’s abode:
“Stay at home for today’s review as well,” Chen Yu said to Little Peach as he manipulated the Interstellar Portal’s console. “I’m going to space, so you can’t follow me anyway. Also, Chen Yike will definitely come knocking on the door once the livestream begins.”
“…I understand,” Little Peach answered in a disappointed tone.
“Remember; don’t be deceived again. Be more careful.”
“Understood!”
After picking up the Civilization’s Shining Moment journal on the table and the white delivery box it came with, Chen Yu turned around and looked at his room one last time. After verifying that he hadn’t forgotten anything, he stepped through the portal and arrived in the Super Floating Castle’s Headmaster’s Tower.
“Do not get found out by Chen Yike no matter what. If you find that the situation is amiss, you can take the initiative to attack.”
“Take the initiative to attack?”
“Yes! Take the initiative to attack!”
“I understand, Mr. Chen! I won’t get tricked again this time!” Little Peach assured as she raised the Amnesia Bat in her hand. “Since you’ve given me this, everything will be fine.”
“Alright. I’ll place my full trust in you one more time.”
“Please rest assured.”
After disconnecting the spatial link, Chen Yu transformed the portal’s appearance into a metal arch. Afterward, he looked at the time before setting down the journal and delivery box on the ground. He then walked into the study located on the left side of the main hall.
Rumble…
Chen Yu entered the study’s secret room. He then quickly entered the protective suit’s maintenance pot and changed into the purple protective clothing.
Next, accompanied by a clear mechanical transmission sound, a pair of mechanical arms swayed rapidly before him and installed pieces of white armor all over his body.
Click!
Breastplate.
Click!
Backplate.
Click!
Armguard…
Under the mechanical arms’ quick work, the protective suit that consisted of several hundred different components was installed properly over Chen Yu’s body.
Squeak—
The maintenance pod’s door opened slowly, and a cooling white mist escaped through the gaps created. Chen Yu then stepped out of the pod.
By the time Chen Yu returned to the Interstellar Portal, he guessed that the time should already be close to nine o’clock. Immediately, he activated the livestream rooms without hesitation.
[Advertising livestream rooms are being activated…]
[Bilibili, DouYu, Youtube…Niconico, Yeye Live activation complete!]
As soon as Chen Yu opened access to the livestream rooms, the total viewer count began rapidly rising from zero. In the blink of an eye, the number had already exceeded 40 million!
Chen Yu couldn’t help but feel his scalp tingle when he saw his program’s popularity. At this moment, the amount of attention he was receiving as an individual could already be ranked within the top ten worldwide.
[It’s here!]
[First!]
[True Number 1.]
[You’re late by six seconds! 40 million people waited for you for six seconds! Added together, you wasted 7 years in total! UP, do you acknowledge your sin?]
[Is that the protective suit? It’s so cool.]
[All rise!]
[The Earth is dying again.]
[Host, hurry up and tell us what the calamity is. I’ve already found a buyer for my house.]
[Ever since the UP appeared, Earth has met with many disasters. ( ͡°͜ʖ͡°)]
[February 21, 2021 – Celebrate the first anniversary of the victory against pneumonia…]
After waiting for half a minute and seeing that the increase in viewer count had slowed down, Chen Yu lowered his hand and faced the camera. He then made his opening remarks in a solemn tone. “Greetings, friends. This is Transdimensional Review’s additional livestream.
“After seeing this journal in my hand, I’m sure veteran viewers should know what is going to happen. Yes, today’s additional livestream will be similar to the time the black hole was discovered. There isn’t going to be an interactive event. There won’t be any product reviews either. I just wished to tell everyone some matters.
“Different from last time, the urgency of the matter this time isn’t particularly high. It is far from being as dangerous as a black hole. Even so, it is still worthy of our vigilance. And by my guess, once this incident is exposed, it may cause an impact of an unknown magnitude that is mixed with pros and cons to human society.
“However, as I’ve said before, as we are all human beings living on Earth, everyone has the right to know of this incident. I think that as a transdimensional reviewer, I have the responsibility to tell everyone of this matter and let humans be prepared in advance.”
After saying so, Chen Yu raised the journal and opened it before the camera.
“Civilization’s Shining Moment. I’ve introduced it before, so I won’t repeat it again today. Its reappearance today has brought us a piece of news that hovers between good and bad.
“The journal I hold is the April 2106 Edition. It reports on a major astronomical discovery made in 2105. Meanwhile, this discovery has been speculated as early as 2011. By 2019, this speculation was spread across a small range of academic circles in the astronomy circles. However, knowingly or unknowingly, the various governments have constantly kept this information suppressed.”
Bang.
Closing the journal, Chen Yu’s gaze sharpened. “The global astronomical scientific research industry and the various upper-level government officials or related personnel, I’m sure you should have the answer in your heart.”
[I get the feeling that this is a grave matter…]
[What the hell is it? Does anyone know?]
[Is the host holding the governments accountable? How cool!]
[The world can die for all I care! We want the female assistant! It’s been so long since we’ve seen her! Nothing happened to her, right?]
[Don’t worry. She might be pregnant for all we know.]
[I’m working in the astronomy industry, but I have no idea what the host is talking about. There are too many government restrictions. Which one are you talking about?]
[Someone, come drag the guy above to the gallows…]
…
Simultaneously, inside the distant Observer Conference Hall…
As soon as Chen Yu finished speaking, discussions erupted all over the hall.
Wearing a heavy expression, the middle-aged team leader quickly manipulated the tablet before him. At the same time, he looked toward Big Sis Wu and asked, “Little Wu, what is Transdimensional’s UP talking about?”
“Please wait.” Sweat covering her forehead, Big Sis Wu busily exchanged opinions and information with the team beside her. After a short moment, several dozen files appeared on her tablet. She then presented her tablet to the middle-aged team leader and said, “Leader, these are the only files we managed to get with our current authority.”
“There are so many concealed astronomical events? Don’t we have a more concrete answer?”
“This…is only the tip of the iceberg.”
“…” Placing down the tablet, the middle-aged team leader put on a complicated expression as he said, “There’s no way we can check, then…”
…
Super Floating Castle, Headmaster’s Tower:
Pulling a chair over and sitting on it, Chen Yu faced the camera and flipped to the journal’s fifth page. He then showed a photo, which covered the entire page, to the camera. That was a picture of a star.
“If we want to understand what the so-called ‘calamity’ is, we need to turn time back to 2009. That year, we discovered a star labeled KIC 8462852. The official name is Boyajian’s Star, or commonly known as Tabby’s Star.
“It is located in the constellation Cygnus, which is about 1,480 light-years away from Earth. It is roughly halfway between the bright stars Deneb and Delta Cygni as part of the Northern Cross. Those interested can use a five-inch telescope on a light-free night to get a clear observation of it.
“In the early days, this main-sequence star with an absolute magnitude of 3.08 did not garner anyone’s attention. That is, until 2011 when a few astronomers discovered the strangeness of this star…”
[Crap! I know what it is now!]
[I know it too. But no one suppressed this information, right?]
[Hiding falsehoods within truths is the best form of concealment./]
[What the heck are you guys talking about?]
[Is that star going to explode? Will it affect Earth?]
[I just searched it on the internet… Damn! This is super-big news!]
[This isn’t a scary piece of news! This is a pleasant surprise!]
[I am similarly pleasantly surprised! This is too exciting!]
[Seriously, what the heck are you guys talking about…]
The moment Chen Yu uttered the words “Tabby’s Star,” the astronomical researchers watching the livestream were shocked. Immediately afterward, stormy waves surged in their minds.
Simultaneously, chaos had also fallen in New York’s Observer Conference Hall. The noise in the hall had very nearly cracked the ceiling.
“It seems…” Lifting his watch and looking at the bullet comments flowing across the screen, Chen Yu pointed at the picture on the journal and said in a low tone, “Many people have already understood what I’m trying to say.
“As for the friends who don’t understand what I’m saying, no need to search the internet for answers. I will now give you the answer…”
