Just when Lu Zhou was in a complicated mood because of this windfall, what he didn't know was that the whole world was shocked by the news of his "resurrection"!
Jin Ling University.
When the first news about the confirmation of Lu Zhou's identity was broadcasted, most classrooms were still in class.
Standing on the podium, the gray-haired old professor explained the obscure theory in a gentle tone while writing the equations of hyperspace theory on the holographic whiteboard.
However, at this moment, the turbid pupils glued to the whiteboard suddenly shrank slightly. His whole person seemed to have seen something incredible, and he was dumbfounded.
He didn't say a word, and there wasn't even the slightest sign.
The old professor looked like he had seen a ghost. He didn't even care about the class and ran out of the classroom excitedly.
In the face of this sudden situation, most of the students sitting in the classroom were dumbfounded. They looked at each other, not knowing what was going on. They didn't know if they should continue with the class.
As all kinds of news began to spread, the whole classroom was soon in a mess.
"What the hell? Are we still going to class or not? "
"F * ck, what the hell is going on? Professor Liu usually ends his class on time. What's wrong with him today? "
"I know what's going on! Have you seen the news? That Lu Zhou! He's really still alive! "
"What?! You mean Lu … Academician Lu? "
"Who else would have that name!"
"F * ck f * ck f * ck f * ck f * ck f * ck …!!!"
When the passengers of flight N-177 had just returned to Earth three days ago, there was indeed a man who looked very similar to Lu Zhou from a hundred years ago. He faced the cameras and reporters in front of the gangway and announced that he was still alive.
But after most people heard the news, they just regarded it as a joke.
Frozen dormancy technology had existed for 100 years.
For ordinary people, this technology was no longer as rare as when it first came out.
Every once in a while, a person who looked exactly like a well-known person from decades ago would emerge and ask the country or their descendants to return their property or privileges.
Most of these claims were proven to be false in the end. Only a small number of people had indeed entered the hibernation cabin at some point in the past through irregular means and recovered their identities with the help of the officials of various countries.
Therefore, for the people of this era, pretending to be a frozen person to defraud property was a relatively common low-level deception. Some rich people in history had even been impersonated more than once.
At most, the person being impersonated this time was a little fresh.
However, things were different now.
This was the official recognition from the Pan-Asian Cooperation!
Facing the cameras of the reporters, Chairman Li Guangya personally held his hand and welcomed him home on behalf of the people of Pan-Asia.
This kind of official recognition was naturally much more credible than a one-sided claim by a single person!
Once the news was broadcasted, it immediately swept across the Internet like a tsunami.
Whether it was an academic forum or a guild discussion board of a certain VRMMO game, almost everyone was discussing this matter.
The greatest scholar of a hundred years ago!
The founder of modern civilization!
When such a great man woke up from a deep sleep, not only did the netizens' jaws drop to the ground, but almost everyone who knew him, studied his theories, and even studied him were shocked speechless by this news.
In fact, this was indeed the case.
If the impact of this news on ordinary people was only at the level of surprise and revisiting history, then the impact on the academic community could be compared to a Category 12 hurricane.
Less than five minutes after the news was broadcasted, a series of tabs on "hyperspace theory", "extra dimensions", "unified theory of algebraic geometry", "unified field theory", "computational materials", and so on on the LSPM academic forum were updated with a "major research progress" prompt almost at the same time.
This function was a major feature of the LSPM forum.
The forum server would monitor the discussion popularity of a certain hot topic in the major academic exchange communities around the world according to a special algorithm, so that scholars engaged in research in this field would not miss out on important news that could not be ignored in this era of information explosion.
It was precisely because of this setting that almost all scholars or physics amateurs who paid attention to this tab, regardless of whether they paid attention to the news or not, received a pop-up notification immediately.
[January 11, 2125, Academician Lu "resurrected".]
Although it was only a few words, the amount of information in it was indeed too huge to be ignored.
It was like announcing the return of an ancient emperor. Those scholars who had graduated from university after reading his papers and were gradually going bald after studying the topics he left behind went crazy almost at the same time because of this news.
Whether it was the direction that Lu Zhou had studied or those fields that had not yet been studied …
Everyone was discussing the impact that his return might have on the academic community.
A well-known science program in the Pan-Asian Cooperation.
Academician Wang Defu of the Pan-Asian Academy of Sciences was invited by the program team to sit on the sofa in the studio.
After a few opening remarks, the host, who was sitting across from Academician Wang, quickly asked a question that almost everyone was concerned about.
"What kind of impact do you think the sudden 'resurrection' of Professor Lu will have on the academic community?"
Faced with the host's question, Academician Wang Defu's reaction was quite rational. He smiled kindly and spoke.
"You've given me a difficult problem, what kind of impact … It's hard to say."
Host: "Is it inconvenient to say, or is it hard to judge?"
Academician Wang Defu thought for a while and spoke.
"A bit of both."
"In fact, if I remember correctly, a similar discussion took place on the LSPM forum a long time ago, but the object of the discussion was not Lu Zhou, but another scholar in history. If Einstein in his thirties traveled to the present, what kind of impact would it have on today's academic community? "
The host asked with interest, "Do you remember your answer at the time?"
"I remember." Academician Wang Defu said with a smile, "If I remember correctly, my answer at the time was like this.
"Ordinary people will generally have a sense of superiority when looking at historical issues. This person is retarded, that person is an idiot. Why would so many obvious problems waste so much precious life?
"This kind of thinking is actually reflected in cultural works such as transmigration. If a modern person transmigrates back to 100 years ago, almost no one would doubt that he would be able to thrive in that era by relying on his far-sighted vision and information that was a century ahead."
The host smiled and said, "Travel back to 100 years ago? I definitely can't accept it. It is said that there was no urban cloud system in that era, no smart wearable devices and holographic technology. "
"There was, but it was not as convenient as it is now … But this question is off topic." Academician Wang Defu smiled and brought the topic back to the right track. He continued in a gentle tone, "In fact, looking at this problem objectively, it is normal to have this sense of superiority.
"Until now, although the development of human society has been regressing on a small scale, it has been moving forward in the general direction. If an era doesn't even have the sense of superiority it should have, then it must be a failure. And we have not been standing still in the past 100 years. Whether it is science and technology, economy, culture, education, or the progress made in eliminating poverty as a social issue, the utopias that could have been imagined 100 years ago are nothing.
"However, like I said, this problem should be looked at objectively.
"Although most PhDs who are engaged in theoretical physics research can understand the hyperspace theory and the theory of extra dimensions, this does not mean that they, who are standing on the shoulders of giants, are taller than giants."
Academician Wang Defu looked at the host who was lost in thought and continued in a relaxed tone.
"The behavior of individuals is always unpredictable, just like physics cannot describe the trajectory of a single molecule. It is hard to say what specific changes Lu Zhou will bring to the world. I can't even be sure that he will return to academia.
"However, I am still looking forward to his return. It will bring a breath of fresh air to the dead academic community."
…
The heated discussion on the Internet was still going on.
However, compared to the discussion on the Internet about his "resurrection", Lu Zhou himself didn't feel as if he was in a storm.
To be honest, it took Xiao Ai a long time to teach Lu Zhou how to properly use the virtual community to obtain necessary information. He felt like a lonely old man left behind by the times.
"It's okay, Master, even if there is no place for you on the Internet, you are still the best here at Xiao Ai! (?????)??”
"… I don't feel comforted at all." Lu Zhou looked at the holographic screen floating in front of him. The dazzling information and UI design made his scalp tingle. He finally gave up the impulse to celebrate on Weibo.
In fact, it wasn't that he didn't want to do this, it was just that the kind of app that only old popsicles understood had been swept into the grave of history in this new era.
Even his Penguin had become a part of history.
Otherwise, he would have liked to share the joy of returning home with his fans …
"There are still a lot of things to learn …"
Lu Zhou sighed softly. He turned off the holographic screen and stood up from the sofa.
Xiao Ai: "Speaking of which, Master, the formal suit you ordered online has arrived. Do you want to try it on first? (?????)”
"Already?" Lu Zhou looked at the logistics drone flying past the window. After thinking for a while, he said, "Okay, I'll try it later."
Xiao Ai: "Do you need Xiao Ai's help? (///ω///) "
Lu Zhou: "…"
Is there something wrong with this guy's head?
I should take some time to go to the old site of the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study.
