Scholar's Advanced Technological System-Chapter 1597: The Power From You
Chapter 1597: The Power From You
Lu Zhou took the love letter with him.
Since that day, Xing Bian never saw Lu Zhou come out of his house, nor did he have a chance to chat with him again.
“I’m going on a retreat for a period of time, so don’t come to find me during this time.”
He remembered what Lu Zhou said back then.
After this, Academician Lu closed the door of the mansion, and the door was never opened again.
A month had gone by. At first, Xing Bian wondered if he had offended Lu Zhou, but later on, he found out that not only was he unable to contact Lu Zhou, even his old friends could not find him.
Office of the Security Bureau.
Looking at Xing Bian sitting behind his desk, Wang Peng couldn’t help but ask.
“So, what did you tell him that day?”
He heard that at the beginning of last month, Captain Xing had visited Lu Zhou’s home and that was probably the last time Lu Zhou went out during this period of time.
Although this speculation had no basis, Wang Peng always felt that this guy must have done something superfluous.
Faced with Wang Peng’s questioning, Xing Bian was a bit embarrassed. He just coughed and said, “It’s about his personal life, so you should ask him yourself.”
“I would if I could,” Wang Peng said. “I can’t get in touch with him at all. I asked him to go out for drinks, but there’s no response to my messages.”
In the past, when Lu Zhou went on retreats, he would not be completely disconnected from the world.
But this time was obviously different from the past.
At least based on what Wang Peng knew about him, either something particularly urgent had happened, or there were other reasons besides academics; otherwise, even if it was a retreat, it wouldn’t be as extreme as it was now.
“Not even a reply?” Xing Bian sighed and put down the teacup in his hand. “I might have messed up… Damn, I obviously did it out of good intentions.”
“What the hell did you do?”
“Some of the mess leftover from your work at that time. If you are interested, go to the archives and look through the Bloodline Project information. Don’t ask me. I don’t want to think about this matter anymore.” After a while, Xing Bian suddenly said, “I’ll give you a task.”
Wang Peng raised his eyebrows.
“Related to Academician Lu?”
“Sort of.” Xing Bian continued after a pause, “His fiancee may still be alive.”
The moment he heard these words, a surprised expression appeared on Wang Peng’s face.
“You mean Chen Yushan? But… it’s been 100 years, how is this possible?”
“I also don’t think it’s possible. Would you put yourself in a dormant cabin because your girlfriend died? At least I won’t…” Xing Bian gave a wry smile as he continued, “But… I don’t know what old popsicles from a century ago would do. Maybe I shouldn’t have let him know about the Bloodline Project, let alone take him to meet his descendants.”
He would not have found the ring box and tried to complete the faster than light engine and head to light-years away…
He’s crazy!
“You want me to find her?”
“Yes.” Xing Bian nodded. “In theory, there should be no galaxy navigation technology in that era… Unless she freezes herself and slowly drifts in the universe. In ten thousand years or so, maybe she could fly there. But this is too slow. Maybe by that time, our spacecraft will be all over the Milky Way.
“So, I speculate that there may be another situation where she freezes herself and waits until the time is right to board the ship. But there is also another risk, that is, that her own existence would be gradually forgotten over time, and in the end, she might not even wake up.”
Wang Peng nodded.
“I understand… I will investigate her whereabouts while investigating The Spirit of The Universe Foundation.”
“Well, just do it as a secondary task. Focus on your job.” Taking a sip from the teacup on the table, Xing Bian thought for a while and continued, “The frozen dormancy fund that Lu Xiaotong was in charge of during her lifetime may be a clue, as well as the Outer Space Colonization Fund…
“If you have time, you can go investigate.”
…
At the same time, in a mansion on the outskirts of Jinling, Vera was standing in Lu Zhou’s study room with a worried expression, quietly waiting for the man in front of her to reply.
About a month ago, after he came back from outside, he suddenly seemed to be a different person.
Not only was he more reticent than before, but his whereabouts also became elusive.
Even though she lived under the same roof, she had barely seen him this month.
Except for academic exchanges, they barely spoke in daily conversations.
Of course…
Even so, she was satisfied.
After all, being able to meet again in a hundred years was a miracle in itself. She already had experienced a miracle, asking for anything else would be a little too greedy.
At least she felt so. She was quite satisfied with her current status.
It was a pleasure to be able to discuss academic issues with him.
If only she could see a smile on his face, especially a smile that bloomed because of her, that would be even better…
Looking at the draft paper in his hand, Lu Zhou thought for a long time without any expression. He had a stiff smile on his face as he said, “You did very well.”
The dawn of victory was here.
After so long, he finally saw the hope of solving this proposition.
Seeing this smile, Vera, who was standing across from the desk, finally breathed a sigh of relief. A touch of gentleness and relief appeared on her face.
She had been worrying about him over this past month. She didn’t know what happened.
But seeing that his mood had finally improved, she relaxed a little.
“As long as you get the epsilon constant, the remaining steps are very easy.” Putting down the draft paper gently, Lu Zhou picked up the pen from the side and scribbled a few lines on another stack of paper on the desk, He then picked them up and passed them to Vera’s hands, “Put the value of ε into the expression in line 13 on page 11, the entire equation can be directly transformed into the form of Equation 3, thereby deriving the establishment of Corollary 4.”
After receiving the stack of papers, Vera took a look at Lu Zhou’s notes.
Soon, a surprised expression appeared on her face.
“You already… did all this?”
Even for him…
This is a bit too fast.
She had been studying this research for some time, so she knew of all the difficulties.
“Yeah, sort of. Looking at it right now, the equation in front of you should be the most accurate and concise expression of the Z particle’s gravitational wave equation I can think of.”
The atmosphere in the study room was quiet.
With her eyes fixed on the paper in her hand, Vera, whose lips opened and closed slightly, seemed to be checking calculations silently in her heart.
Without disturbing her thinking, Lu Zhou picked up the coffee cup on the table and took a sip.
The slightly bitter taste diluted the fatigue accumulated in his brain and made him feel awake.
From what he remembered, unsweetened black coffee was her favorite.
Since when did I fall in love with this taste?
Lu Zhou unconsciously cast his gaze to the sky outside the window.
He stared at the clouds for a long, long time…
