Chapter 255 - 255: 159 “Erased History” and “Southern Union University” (Subscription Requested) _2
As the top-ranking university in the Federation, the library here naturally housed an abundant collection of books.
Many books that were not found anywhere else could be located here.
When Milton Cheney entered the library, he didn’t draw any undue attention. Compared to the amount of people on the rest of the campus, there were more here.
The absence of raucous background noise allowed every single person to quietly immerse themselves in their books.
The flipping of pages made a soft rustling sound that contributed to the serene atmosphere.
Milton Cheney wandered around within the library, eventually moving towards a bookshelf, where he selected several books.
Having found these books, Milton then looked for a vacant spot to sit down and began to flip through the volumes in his hand.
Over these years, Milton’s understanding of this world was derived from either the internet or books.
Over a ten year period, he had read at least a thousand books.
Opening a book, Milton read the contents attentively.
“Indeed, as I imagined, this period of history has appeared not only in history books but also in miscellaneous ones,” he muttered to himself.
Milton’s gaze lingered on a page in the book, mulling things over in his mind.
After careful examination of the contents of the book, Milton got up and headed to a different shelf, where he picked up another book.
Milton opened this book as well, then compared it with the one he’d just been looking at, noting they were indeed strikingly similar.
“The Azure Star was once briefly colonized by an alien civilization, but none of these books clearly state when specifically that happened. Why is it so vague?”
While comparing the information in the two books, Milton pondered this question.
He had always been intrigued by the fact that the Azure Star had once been colonized by an extraterrestrial civilization.
Of course, after his initial bouts of research, he’d gradually put this topic on the backburner.
The reason was simple: there just weren’t many books available on this subject.
“It really seems the Federation’s upper echelons are incredibly reticent about this matter. Documentation on an event that took place three thousand years ago is surprisingly sparse,” Milton mused.
This was unusual.
The world recorded in quite vivid detail events that took place ten thousand years ago. But the period of colonization happened only three thousand years ago.
How long that colonization lasted was unclear; the texts appeared to gloss over this timeframe without any clear timeline provided.
Theoretically, this kind of event should be recorded in detail. But instead, specific documents regarding it were incredibly scarce.
Time passed, and Milton checked several more books, but ultimately he didn’t reach any firm conclusions.
All he could sav was it seemed as though most of this period in history had
been scrubbed from the records, leaving behind only faint traces.
Deciding not to dwell on this anymore, Milton returned the books to their shelves and left the library.
He’d only just started university and had many things to take care of.
While he was curious about this period in history, he knew he had plenty of time to explore it further in the future.
After all, he was enrolled in the History Department of the top federal university. He could consult some of the senior members later if he wished to learn more about this topic.
Leaving the library, Milton wandered around the campus a bit more, then went on to complete some procedures that freshmen students needed to do.
Time passed and a year had already gone by.
Within the Federal First University, in the History Department laboratory.
“Your talents are the best I’ve ever seen.”
These admiring words were addressed by Prof. Arthur Morgan to Milton, who was the talented individual Prof. Morgan was referring to.
Milton, who was busy taking notes in a book, smiled at the comment. “So, have you made up your mind? I have a nomination slot I can offer you to go to the Southern Union University on Fire Cloud Star as an exchange student. ”
Prof. Morgan said.
This year, Milton was still a freshman.
Being chosen to hear this offer from a history professor after only one year of attendance was unprecedented.
Indeed, it was Milton’s talent that had caught the professor’s attention.
“Thank you, Prof. Morgan,” Milton replied, not turning the offer down. Having already thought this through, there was no reason for him to decline.
Seeing Milton agree, Prof. Morgan nodded with a smile.
The Southern Union University was his alma mater and the one he deemed the most suitable university for Milton.
The reason was simple, the history department of Southern Union University, encompassing all of the Azure Star Federation’s colonies, was ranked first.
If the Federal First University was ranked first in the Azure Star Federation in terms of overall rankings,
Then without a doubt, the history department at Southern Union University was undeniably first in the entire Federation.
“Oh, right, I’ll give you what you asked for now.”
Arthur Morgan seemed to remember something, opened his palm computer, and transferred a set of data to Milton Cheney.
“There’s precious little information I have about the research on the Muta Civilization’s colonization of Azure Star.”
“Southern Union University should have conducted research in this area too, albeit perhaps not much.”
“In my memory, many have conducted research in this area, but all eventually gave up because the available data was too scarce. I even started doubting if the colonization of Azure Star was a fabricated tale.”
Arthur Morgan remarked with a slight frown.
As a history professor, he had conducted related research on the history of Azure Star being colonized in his early years.
But the outcome was not satisfactory.
Because the historical records of that time period seemed to have a minor discontinuity, leaving far too few clues.
Milton Cheney had already opened his palm computer and began examining the data transferred to him by Arthur Morgan.
Indeed, there was a major overlap in the information.
Very few of the new pieces of information were useful to him.
“Prof. Morgan, do you know anything about the Muta Civilization? I have searched for related information before, but the information in this area is extremely scarce.”
Milton Cheney closed his palm computer and asked.
Having reincarnated countless times, Milton Cheney now possessed an extremely accurate intuition.
He felt that there was a significant issue with this seemingly erased history.
It seemed that this world wasn’t as simple as he had imagined.
Perhaps, there might be some unexpected gains?
Upon hearing Milton Cheney’s words, Arthur Morgan deliberated for a moment.
“All I know is that the Muta civilization, like the Azure Star Federation, is a human civilization. I know nothing further.”
Arthur Morgan replied.
If Milton Cheney asked him about other historical knowledge, there would be little that he didn’t know.
But regarding this part of history, he really didn’t know much.
Not only him, but it can also be said that most scholars studying history don’t Imow much about this area.
Hearing this, Milton Cheney nodded thoughtfully.
“Thank you, Prof. Morgan.”
“No problem, if you want to study the discontinuous history, Southern Union University would be a good place.”
“Of course, do not focus all your energy on this part of history. Know when to give up.”
Arthur Morgan advised.
Milton Cheney’s talent was amongst the best he had seen, but it would undoubtedly be a waste if he became overly fixated on this matter.
Naturally, he did not want this to happen, which was why he offered the advice.
“I understand, Prof. Morgan.”
Milton Cheney replied.
Subsequently, he chatted with Arthur Morgan for a while before leaving the laboratory.
Time flew by and a year passed in a blink of an eye.
In Milton Cheney’s dormitory at Southern Union University.
Overall, there wasn’t much difference between Fire Cloud Star and Azure Star, so Milton felt quite at ease.
As an exchange student, he lived in a single dormitory at Southern Union University.
Milton Cheney operated his palm computer in front of him to collect some important information.
Without a doubt, the history department at Southern Union University, being the Federation’s best, resolved many of Milton’s doubts.
After recording everything, Milton Cheney closed the palm computer. His fingers gently tapped on the desk in front of him, a profound look in his eyes.
“Four hundred years.”
“What exactly happened within these four hundred years?” “The progress of technology is evident. What else has changed?” Milton Cheney pondered in his heart.
A moment later, Milton Cheney’s pupils constricted slightly.
He remembered something.
The next moment, he quickly opened the palm computer, input a keyword and started searching.
When the information appeared before him.
A hypothesis in Milton Cheney’s mind was sputtering to life.
PS: The details about this world will be useful later, wait for the next chapter-
The number of Monthly Tickets yesterday seemed to be more than usual, thank you all-!
