It took Lu Zhou around ten minutes to explain to the old man what the Riemann conjecture was, what it meant to prove it, and the most important thing was the bank card password …
Of course, it was a scientific explanation.
In an academic sense, Lu Zhou wouldn't even be able to explain the lithium-sulfur battery in the phone's battery capacity.
However, Lu Zhou felt like his father's mood was a lot better after talking to him for a while. Later on, Lu Zhou even turned on hands-free and asked his mother to listen to her academician son talk about mathematics.
Actually, Lu Zhou realized that maybe his parents didn't care about the password, they just wanted to listen to his voice.
Lu Zhou couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat.
Maybe he should take some time to visit his family.
However, this wasn't the time to be sentimental. There was one more important thing he had to deal with.
Lu Zhou sniffed and put his phone back in his pocket.
Wang Peng, who was sitting in the driver's seat, put his hands on the steering wheel and asked concisely.
"Where to?"
"301 Hospital."
"Okay."
…
301 Hospital.
South building.
A man wearing a white shirt stood there with a bouquet of carnations in his hand. It seemed like he had been standing there for a long time.
This bouquet of carnations was bought from a flower shop near the hospital. She was wearing the same clothes that she wore to the St. Petersburg report yesterday, and she hadn't had time to change out of them.
Most of the people who were hospitalized here were of high status, and the people who came to visit were also of high status. It was rare to see someone as "casual" as him.
It was precisely because of this that the doctors and nurses who occasionally passed by would frequently cast sidelong glances at them in surprise.
However, after seeing the face clearly, most of the doubts disappeared.
The people who worked here might not remember the faces of every patient, but they would never forget this face.
After all, when this guy suddenly fainted at the work site, he gave them a lot of trouble …
Lu Zhou stood there for another five minutes before he took a deep breath and walked forward.
Lu Zhou showed the ID in his hand and stepped into the building. He went upstairs and walked to the ward at the end of the corridor.
A girl with long, pale blonde hair sat on the white hospital bed, staring out the window at the new sprouts on the branches of the yew trees.
The sound of footsteps coming from the corridor brought her back to her senses. From the reflection of the glass window, she saw the figure that appeared at the door, and a happy smile appeared on the girl's face.
She looked away from the window and looked at Lu Zhou. She blinked her sapphire eyes and spoke.
"I've been here before."
Lu Zhou walked next to the bed and gently inserted the Carnation song into the vase on the bedside table. He spoke in a relaxed voice.
"… When?"
Vera looked up at the ceiling, thought seriously, and said.
"About three years ago … I heard that you fainted at the controllable fusion ignition site, so I bought a plane ticket and flew here. However, even after my visa expired, I didn't have a chance to come here. They didn't let me visit you, so I went back … I remember that not long after I left, you woke up. For a while, I even suspected that you were deliberately hiding from me."
"How is that possible … If I was hiding from you, why would I be here?" Lu Zhou said softly, "How is it? Are you used to the environment here? "
Vera smirked and didn't care about Lu Zhou's abrupt change of topic. Instead, she continued to speak.
"I'm used to it. The bed here is very comfortable, the people are friendly, and the nurse who takes care of me will chat with me when I wake up. Other than the pain from chemotherapy, I feel a lot better."
When Lu Zhou heard this, there was a hint of sadness in his heart. He could tell that it was heartache.
He was about to say something, but she continued to speak.
"Speaking of which, I also heard from the nurses here about you … I feel …"
Lu Zhou: "Feel what?"
"I feel amazing."
After saying this, Vera felt her cheeks heat up slightly.
However, someone else was even more embarrassed than her.
Lu Zhou scratched his cheek with his index finger. He was thinking about how to be humble when she continued to speak.
"Now that I'm in Beijing, can you tell me what you want me to do?" She blinked and sat on the hospital bed. She looked at Lu Zhou and said, "I feel a little better now. If possible … I want to use the knowledge you taught me to do something for you."
Lu Zhou looked at her sapphire-like eyes and opened his mouth.
He had a lot to say, but he didn't know where to start.
Anyway, if he didn't know what to say, he should just talk business first.
He looked at the girl sitting on the hospital bed and spoke in a serious tone.
"Listen, I have a way to cure you, but I need your cooperation."
It seemed like she didn't expect Lu Zhou to say this.
When Vera heard this, she paused for a second. She then shook her head and spoke with a smile.
"That's impossible, the doctor already told me that it's impossible to cure me with modern medical technology … Actually, you don't have to comfort me. I've already spent a year mentally preparing myself. There's nothing to be sad about."
"I'm not kidding, nor am I comforting you. I'm serious." Lu Zhou took a deep breath and looked at her. He said, "It's impossible to cure you with modern medical technology, but that's not necessarily the case in the future. A century ago, smallpox and the Black Death were also incurable diseases, but in the end, we still won. Even if we can't do it now, I believe we can do it in the future. "
Vera said softly, "I'm afraid I can't wait that long …"
"No, you can." Lu Zhou looked at Vera, who was surprised. He said in an affirmative tone, "I will send you to the future …"
It took about five minutes for Lu Zhou to explain to her as simply as possible the frozen dormancy technology, the research project of the Institute of Cryobiology at the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, and what the so-called "future" was.
After quietly listening to Lu Zhou's explanation, Vera didn't immediately give Lu Zhou a yes or no answer. Instead, she looked at the ceiling and spoke.
"A world a hundred years from now … It feels so far away.
"What … What will it be like?"
Lu Zhou: "Maybe not a hundred years. If I'm optimistic, around seventy years is enough. Society at that time will be rich and have unlimited energy … I can't imagine it, but it should be a better world than it is now. "
Vera: "Then … Will you be in that world?"
Lu Zhou went silent for a while.
After about half a minute, he spoke softly.
"It doesn't matter if I'm there or not. What's important is that you should be happy in the new world."
Vera looked at him and blinked. "But I'm very happy right now."
Lu Zhou: "I promise, you will be happier when you are healthy."
Vera pouted unhappily.
"You didn't answer my question."
Lu Zhou looked at the firm eyes and was silent for a while. He then spoke.
"Maybe there will be. I'm in good health, and our country has many ways to live a long life … But even if I live until then, I'll probably be an old man. Don't expect too much. No matter how handsome I was when I was young, I'm basically the same when I'm old. I'm slow and troublesome. Don't expect too much from me. "
Vera didn't know which sentence she was amused by, but she suddenly couldn't help but burst into laughter.
That smile was like the carnations on the table, delicate and pretty with a hint of brilliance.
"It's okay to be an old man."
Vera raised her sleeve and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. Her eyes were full of smiles, and the timidity in her eyes was replaced by gentleness.
She looked at Lu Zhou and spoke.
"… As long as it's you."
Is this what it feels like to be in love?
Maybe it's a heart attack …
There was a flash of pity in his eyes, but his rationality told him that this was the only way to save her.
Lu Zhou took a deep breath and tried to keep his voice calm.
"Then … Are you willing? To the future … "
Gazing at him, Vera gently nodded and said in a gentle voice.
"Mhmm."
"If you want me to do this."
"I'm willing to do anything for you."
