“LOL. Mr. Soan is so adorable.”
“Did Mr. Soan think that he could contact those people by tagging them? Mr. Soan, it doesn’t work like that. They can only get the notification after they download the Chatterio app and log into their accounts.”
“No, they may not see the notification even if they log in. They must get thousands of notifications every day. Mr. Soan, they won’t see it!”
“Yes, Mr. Soan is so adorable. It’s understandable, though. After all, he has just opened his account.
Go_Against_Trend: “Gosh! These people were born in our country, but they’re all living in Neige now while still keeping our passports. What are these scientists thinking? Are they really going to come back?”
…
Himmel Soan’s latest post became the center of attention again.
The comment of a user named “Go_Against_Trend” brought attention to a new level.
“Coming back? Why should they? Nothing we have is better than Neige! VVhy should they give up the comfortable life they already have over there?”
“So true! They haven’t changed their nationality probably because they never got around to doing it or because the paperwork is too much of a hassle. If I were in their shoes, I’d have done the same! Do you know what science is about? Patriotism is far from being enough. It requires resources, equipment, and necessary funding!”
“I agree. Science research isn’t as easy as you think. With advanced equipment, the same scientific research program can be accomplished much more efficiently. In the astronomy field, for instance, our telescopes can only study the moon, whereas theirs can observe the sun! Which country do you think will make more achievements? Don’t make me laugh!”
“You’re very objective. I agree. Science should be objective. One has to choose between scientific research and patriotism. They can’t have both. If you want to blame someone, blame our country for not being powerful enough!”
“I disagree. Since they haven’t changed their nationality yet, I think it means they’ll eventually come back”
“Yes, Neige is a powerful country, but our people are courageous and upright. Anyone with a conscience wouldn’t forget the country that has trained them. It’s where they grew up.”
‘You people are so snobbish! You think they’re all as selfish as you are! Mr. Himmel Soan might not know how Chatterio works, but he has spoken about what’s on our minds. It’s also what our country wants. I believe and look forward to the day they’ll all come back!”
“Don’t make me laugh! You lot, the so-called patriots, are so blind! That’s why our country is such a backwater place!”
“Do you seriously believe you’re thinking for our country? You can’t be more wrong! You’ve lost touch with reality! Is it so hard to admit that you’re not as good as everyone else? Admitting it doesn’t mean you don’t love your country! It’s not disgraceful either! We can only start catching up with them when we recognize the reality! You won’t even admit the gap between our country and others. We can’t be immersed in our past glory anymore! It will only make us arrogant and stop our progress! How are we going to make our country greater?”
“I totally agree with you! These so-called patriots should be taught a lesson! Admitting that you’re inferior to someone else doesn’t mean you’ll stay that way forever! We can only narrow that gap after we recognize that gap! Patriotism has nothing to do with it! Do you hear me, you idiots?!”
The online community was divided once more over the issue, and both sides strongly supported their own view.
Back to an hour ago.
In Winland.
In TSCD, a top-grade laboratory, people were lining up behind a closed office door.
One of the Winlandians knocked on the door and asked in the native language, “William, are you alright? We’re worried about you!”
A Moonian was sitting in front of the window in a trance-like state. His face was expressionless, and his eyes were unfocused.
He had been like this for the past 24 hours. During that time, he hadn’t touched any food or water.
The Patriarch was dead.
The people of the Soan empire were all dead!
He felt that he had no reason to live anymore.
He had been working on an important science project and only finished the work the day before. However, the first thing he learned when he left the lab was that members of the Soan empire had taken their own lives.
He immediately tried to fly back home, but it was too late. Moon had shut down its borders, and there was no flight. Knowing that he had no hope of going back, he sat in his office, trying to come up with a way to kill himself.
He was still alive because he hadn’t seen the group funeral of those people yet. Twenty-four hours had passed since then. He was waiting for a new update from Moon.
William’s original name was Kang. He changed it to William Soan after coming to Winland and often omitted the “Soan” in his signature. As a result, very few people knew him as William Soan and even fewer as Kang Soan.
To look for Himmel Soan, he came to Winland all by himself 21 years ago and had made himself an influential figure. Taking advantage of his job position, he searched almost every corner of Winland. However, Himmel Soan was nowhere to be found.
Just like William, dozens of top scientists had come to Winland to look for Himmel Soan.
“I wonder what they’ve done about the funeral…”
William picked up his phone and saw that he could open Moon webpages again.
Moon denied access to their internet when the Soan empire was on its way to the final destination. Only domestic users could open the web pages.
“I can log into my account now!” William immediately started searching for news on the Soan empire.
“The Soan empire is back! They’re alive!”
“Himmel Soan, the elder of Moon, has made a miraculous recovery!”
“The Soan empire wouldn’t take any compensation and has given back all two trillion!”
“Dragon Soul Temple is to be built. The Soan empire deserves the treatment!”
“Dragon Cave trial: cyberbullying is to be punished!”
William gradually seemed alive again as he read through the news. He was excited. “Himmel Soan, the Elder of Moon, has opened his Chatterio account,”
William was shaking with excitement. “Patriarch has a Chatterio account now!”
He immediately downloaded the app and logged into it.
“Ding!”
“Ding!”
“Ding!”
He received countless notifications, but he ignored them all.
Finally, from thousands of notifications, he found the one from “Himmel Soan_ Elder of Moon (verified account)” ..
