Mansion on the outskirts of Jinling.
Lu Zhou, who was sitting in the study room, was writing and drawing on a piece of paper while making a video call with Captain Xing of the Security Bureau.
Although paperless work had penetrated into the field of scientific research in this era, some habits were still difficult to get rid of.
Especially when doing some theoretical calculations, even with a convenient tool like holographic modeling, for Lu Zhou himself, pen and paper were still essential tools.
"You will never believe what we found on Ceres."
Hearing the excitement in Captain Xing's voice, Lu Zhou's expression was still indifferent. He responded perfunctorily.
"So what did you find?"
"A quantum computer! About tens of acres … Maybe a little bigger. "
The pen in his hand stopped.
Lu Zhou looked up at Captain Xing in the holographic interface and couldn't help but ask.
"Are you sure you are not mistaken?"
"To be honest, I am on the front line now …" Xing Bian glanced around and suddenly lowered his voice. "Originally, this matter shouldn't have been handled by us … But the First Fleet feels that the development of things has exceeded the scope of their handling."
Lu Zhou: "So you guys are the scapegoats?"
"That's not entirely true … Anyway, everything here is just too weird! It was a computer left behind by an alien or an Earthling. The computer was running a program that we did not understand at all. Damn, I have worked in the Security Bureau for so many years, and this is the first time I have encountered such an absurd thing. "Xing Bian gritted his teeth and suddenly said," Do you think The Spirit of The Universe Foundation … colludes with aliens? "
Hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou didn't know how to answer for a while, so he spoke with a strange expression.
"Why do you think so?"
Xing Bian: "Do you think that thing can be supported by the financial resources of space pirates? I have dealt with them before, and I know their terrible financial situation like the back of my hand. It is impossible for them to have the ability to build such a large supercomputing center, and it is impossible to deploy 1,200 electromagnetic pulse cannons on Ceres! "
Lu Zhou tapped his finger on the table and spoke after thinking for a while.
"The study of extraterrestrial civilization is beyond my professional scope, but my intuition tells me that if we can figure out what the computer is calculating, maybe we can figure out its origin … and the secrets about the ALPHA virus."
"I think so too, so I have already submitted the report. Pan-Asian Cooperation experts are on the way … If you are interested, you can also come over. By the way, have you solved that equation? "
Looking at the eager Captain Xing, Lu Zhou smiled faintly.
"Who do you think I am … I can solve a problem of that level after I go back. You never asked me for it, so I forgot about it. "
Captain Xing smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm busy going to the front line. There's been no signal for the past few days … Oh right, what's the answer? "
"97796. After decoding it, it's a string of numbers. It's probably the password to open something."
"97796, is it?" Captain Xing frowned slightly and nodded thoughtfully. "I see, thank you … If there are any new developments, I will contact you as soon as possible."
Lu Zhou nodded.
"I hope the next time you contact me, it's not because you have something to trouble me with."
Captain Xing smiled a little awkwardly. After chatting awkwardly for a while, he hung up the phone.
…
He felt that the controllable fusion research was basically stable. Now he only had to wait for the experimental reactor project to start, then some of the ideas in his mind could be tested one by one.
What really bothered him now was the task given to him by the system, which was the graduation project about the so-called "perfect material".
When his materials science level reached level 10, he would be considered to have graduated from the university of the system.
"… I feel like something is missing."
With a sigh, Lu Zhou stood up from his desk, crumpled the draft paper on the table, and threw it into the wastepaper basket next to him.
The light blue beam next to him floated up, and the palm-sized Xiao Ai emerged from behind the light curtain like a little elf.
"It's okay, Master, Xiao Ai believes that you can do it! (?????)????”
"Thank you." Lu Zhou smiled. He stretched out his index finger and rubbed it gently on the holographic image. "I think I can definitely find that thing … Please help me prepare lunch."
"Okay, Master! (〃 > ▽ < 〃)/* "
Habitually, Lu Zhou turned on the TV at lunchtime. He was eager to obtain information about the world, so he almost didn't miss any news.
On the TV, the news about Guanghan City happened to be playing.
Compared with the chaos last week, order had basically been restored here. Several armed police wearing kinetic skeletons patrolled the streets with live ammunition.
The camera quickly switched to the press conference held by Li Guangya, the Pan-Asian Chairman who announced martial law.
"… Just two days ago, we were attacked by unknown forces on Ceres. We can be sure that this attack has gone beyond the scope of terrorism."
Facing the reporter's interview, Li Guangya continued with a serious expression.
"At present, the identity of the armed forces is still under investigation. If there is more information, we will disclose it as soon as possible."
Reporter: "Previously, a local media in Jin Ling City reported that the armed forces on Ceres may be financially supported by an organization called The Spirit of The Universe Foundation. Is this information accurate?"
Li Guangya: "We were indeed harassed by this transnational criminal organization, including the hostile forces that provoked reactionary emotions in Guanghan City some time ago. It was them."
Whispers could be heard at the scene.
There had been methods to transfer internal contradictions since ancient times, but there were no opponents overseas. It was strange to put the blame on a non-governmental organization.
"… We will do our best to investigate this matter and lift the martial law in Guanghan City as soon as possible.
"So, please give us a little time!"
Reporter: "What is the situation in Nuwa City?"
Li Guangya: "Nuwa City is just an attempt. The Pan-Asian Cooperation needs a territory to complete its strategic deployment."
Reporter: "But there are rumors that this is the green light given by the Pan-Asian authorities to East Asia Power —"
"Well, this issue is not within the scope of this press conference. If you have evidence, please take it out at the appropriate place."
Li Guangya's way of dealing with problems was quite to his liking. In just a few days, the troubles in Guanghan City were settled.
However, after this incident, Lu Zhou felt that he should really reflect on whether his ideas were a little too incompatible with this world.
Just when he was thinking about this, the bracelet on his left wrist suddenly flickered slightly.
Guessing that it was most likely Li Guangya calling, Lu Zhou reached out and pressed on the bracelet, opening the holographic window of the video call.
Before he had time to greet him, Li Guangya on the other end of the video window spoke impatiently.
"I have fulfilled my promise, now it's your turn."
Lu Zhou nodded and spoke frankly.
"I promised you that if you need it, I can be the chief consultant for the scientific development of the Pan-Asian Cooperation."
A bright smile appeared on Li Guangya's face as he looked at Lu Zhou's open arms.
"Thank you, I really want to hug you, my friend!"
Lu Zhou: "Let's talk about it after we become friends."
Li Guangya smiled and said, "It's okay, you will find that it is also good for you! By the way, don't forget the space elevator. My term can't wait for too long, so please hurry up. "
Lu Zhou nodded and spoke.
"I know."
"After my second-generation controllable fusion is completed."
