Chapter 307 The Beautiful Border

So after finishing her breakfast, Ruan Mianmian couldn't wait to set off.

Fang Yang and Lin Xiao, who had become much more composed, naturally followed along to protect Ruan Mianmian.

Ruan Mianmian took her own spaceship to circle the border of the Eastern Great Power. Whenever she saw a border line that was different from what she remembered—or rather, an extended border line—she would disembark and take a stroll around. As a result, even with her extremely fast spaceship, she only managed to cover one-fifth of the border in a day.

Even though she had only seen one-eighth of it, she was overjoyed.

She started from the east and headed north.

To the east and north, it's all coastal, and it's not until you reach the area around South Korea that you find land.

This time, due to the earthquake, the violent tsunami and floods, both Korea and Korea sank, and most of Korea North also sank, leaving almost no one there. So the border line naturally extended to the coast of Korea North, and then continued north to join the Black River.

In other words, the three northeastern provinces, which were once very close to the sea but had no coastline, now have coastlines all to the east!

The northeasternmost latitude is 50 degrees north latitude!

Ruan Mianmian was overjoyed just by reading this part.

Although it was a map of this dimension, not hers, it was still from the same Dongda University, which made her happy.

When Tang You saw Ruan Mianmian return with a beaming smile, she asked, "Did you enjoy watching it?"

“Of course!” Ruan Mianmian nodded repeatedly. “I only looked at the east side today. I’ll go and see the other places tomorrow.”

Tang You smiled and said, "Just be careful."

Ruan Mianmian had only looked at the coastline today and hadn't figured out what was going on yet, so she immediately asked, "There should be survivors in Korea and Taiwan to the east, right? They don't have any objections to this?"

"What complaints could they possibly have about their own country sinking?" Tang You said. "Their survivors are few in number, and they're all rushing towards us like madmen, insisting on bringing their remaining territory to join us... I mean, to join the East University of this plane."

Ruan Mianmian frowned deeply as she thought about the national character of the two countries: "Should we just let Dongda University join us?"

"Do you remember waking up one day and the sun was shining brightly outside?" Tang You didn't answer Ruan Mianmian, but instead asked a question.

Ruan Mianmian nodded: "I remember, did a natural disaster really happen later?"

“That’s right. It’s been sunny the whole time, and it hasn’t rained at all. It’s extremely dry outside, and there’s a severe shortage of drinking water. Many people in neighboring countries have starved to death,” Tang You said.

"They fled towards Dongda University, dying along the way. When they reached Dongda University, there were twelve men left in Japan and more than a hundred in South Korea. These survivors were all sick and emaciated, and most of them were barely clinging to life."

Ruan Mianmian understood.

They're in such a terrible state; it would be truly heartless not to give them food.

While one can indeed be ruthless, in the public eye, things still need to be done.

However, the University of Tokyo must have a plan for the future of these students.

Thinking of this, Ruan Mianmian looked at Tang You.

Tang You nodded: "Their health is very poor, and they will not have any offspring. Moreover, they did not take anything related to their civilization with them when they escaped this time."

Hearing this, Ruan Mianmian finally felt relieved.

Humans cannot be born, and no civilization has survived. In the future, the history and civilization of these two places will be lost to time.

As for what is dug up underground, it is merely the remains of a vanished civilization.

Aside from evoking some sighs from future generations, nothing more will happen.

Furthermore, given the current water and soil pollution, it's questionable whether anything from the civilizations of those two places will be unearthed in a thousand years.

In the following days, Ruan Mianmian continued to visit the border during the day and only wrote her thesis before going to bed.

After seeing the entire border of the University of Tokyo, she was so happy that she couldn't help but sing a song.

The best borderline she saw while scrolling through Douyin in her own dimension can be said to have been basically achieved.

The map of the University of Tokyo is no longer just a rooster or a begonia; it has expanded considerably, directly propelling it to the top of the world.

Ruan Mianmian still remembers the disappointment and sadness she felt when she learned in elementary school that Dongda University was not the largest country in the world, but only ranked third.

That disappointment and sadness were finally made up for in this dimension.

Seeing Ruan Mianmian so happy, Tang You asked with a smile, "Have you had a great time these past few days?"

Ruan Mianmian shook her head: "How can it be considered as having seen everything? I plan to go out for another day tomorrow and visit the places where Huo Qubing sealed the wolf's lair and where he drank from the vast sea. Ah, what beautiful places they are."

Even though those two places are now somewhat devastated, she still finds them exceptionally beautiful.

The next day, after Ruan Mianmian went to the two places as she wished, she returned to the research institute and submitted the paper she had written.

After that, she continued to do odd jobs at the various research institutes where she had previously worked.

Of course, although she was doing odd jobs, she did much more than that; she learned a great deal in a serious and in-depth way.

All the experts at these research institutes patiently taught her and generously answered her various questions.

Ruan Mianmian was filled with gratitude for this.

With six months fast approaching and no results yet from the crops, Ruan Mianmian couldn't help but feel anxious.

Tang You, Gu Shi, Fang Yang, and Lin Xiao seemed more anxious than Ruan Mianmian.

However, all four of them tried their best to suppress their emotions and even comforted Ruan Mianmian instead.

Looking at the blisters around their lips, Ruan Mianmian was speechless: "I'm very nervous and anxious, but you're even more anxious than me. Okay, repeat these comforting words to yourselves a few times, don't think too much. Trust in my luck, trust in all the researchers who are working hard for this!"

As they were talking, footsteps sounded outside the restaurant.

When Ruan Mianmian heard the familiar footsteps, her breathing stopped for a moment, then became rapid. She immediately looked up at the doorway.

Professor Li appeared at the door.

Contrary to her usual behavior, she smiled.

Ruan Mianmian rushed forward: "Professor Li, have you made any research findings?"

Professor Li had been trying his best to hide his expression, fully expecting to fool Ruan Mianmian and the others, but he was exposed as soon as they met, and couldn't help but ask, "How did you figure it out?"

Ruan Mianmian laughed: "You're all smiles, how can I not tell?"

Tang You and the others, who were engrossed in reading, all stood up upon hearing this, looking at Professor Li and Ruan Mianmian with surprise and uncertainty. Their mouths opened and closed, but they couldn't utter a single word.

They hoped it was all real, yet feared it was all just their imagination.

Ruan Mianmian helped Professor Li to the dining table and sat him down, then looked at Tang You and the others: "Are you all stupid? Come and welcome our great hero!"

"They really figured it out?"

"Did the crops really survive?"

Tang You asked anxiously, as if in a dream.

Professor Li said with a smile, "So far, seven kinds of plants have grown, and each has grown a small patch!"
